QUEEN TO PURGE
CURTSY RACKET
FROM ENGLAND
Elizabeth EmuIates
Kennedy Lead
By CHARLES A. SMITH
Copyright. 1898. by International
News SerVice.)

LONDON, April 26 GN.S).
Emulating Ambassador Kennedy,
Queen Elizabeth of England has
started a court purge of her own,
it was learned today.
Determined to put an end to the
known traffic among impoverished
British aristocrats who, for a con-
sideration launch not-so-blue-
blooded girls into society via q
court presentation, the Queen is
carefully pruning the list of those
admitted to court circles.
BLUE BLOODS HIT
Scores of persons, some of whom
bear old and distinguished titles,
will in the future find the doors
of Buckingham Palace barred to
them if they attempt to introduce
proteges.
All application" for permission
to make court presentations will
now be carefully scrutinized, at the
express wish of the Queen, by the
Lord Chamberlair's department,
even when the applications appar.
emily are perfectly bona fide. Any
borderline cases will be referred
to Her Majesty'S secretariat for
decision.
PAY WAS GOOD!
These and other precautions, it
is believed, will make 1t virtually
impossible for anyone to pass q
debutante into the court in ex-
change for financial remuneration
known in the past to have some
times been very high.
The presentation racket" has
been running for years and is al
legged to have earned small for
tunes for many socialites whose
purses are not as long as their

A round of golf today left Mr..

memory. Vaurio sliced into the
rough on the last hole.
Their 4-year-old son, Philip, ran
ahead to find the ball. He crawled
under a fence and was poking
about in the weeds when he
screamed and disappeared. He
had tumbled into a stone quarry
and been dashed 20 death 125

that they are afraid of paint.
One gets the feeling that Negro
life in the South is much easier
than in the North. In the South the
Negro communities have accepted
segregation and seem to do very
little about it. They feel that
IT is hopeless to try to change it and
set out to enjoy life under these
conditions. Some enterpr-ising in
dividuals have capitalized Oh this
situation and operate separate tour
ist camps, bathing beaches, and
state fairs.
There was some disappointment
in the lack of interest in emphasiz-
ing trade with Negroes. What few
stores are owned by Negroes are
neither modern nor attractive ex-
cept in the larger centers and these
are usually in the class Of restaur-
ants, taverns and pool halls.
In the smaller areas Of the South
such as Scotland Neck, N. c., Satur-
day afternoons and evenings find
all the colored people in surround
ing communities going to town and
filling the streets, stores and taverns
almost exclusively. 1t seems to be
an unWritten rule in these small
places that the white people wait
until Monday to do their shopping
in the various centers because there
is no room for them Saturday. 1t
is q familiar scene to see wagons
drawn by mules with scores Of Me-
groes in them on the paved highway
going to town. There seems to be
q perfect understanding between
them and the white people for the
latter know they will stay in their
places. In one of the Southern
cities of $4,000 inhabitants, we in
quired as to where the colored
people lived. Our informant told
us right there where the pavement
ends and the tin cans begin.
The teachers in the summer
school, while they do not make much
money, seem to enjoy their work
and realize that the 500, $40 and
$50 4 month in states where the
educational system is good are bet
ter off than they would be IN the
Northern cities on WPA where they
are struggling for q meager liveii-
hood. Mr. Lane said
On the whole the development ct
commercial enterprises and the
maintenance of attractive neighbor-
hoods seems to be lagging behind
both in the North and South. Even
a change of latitude does not alter
patterns of living, observed the
Urban League official.

ment system. Mr.. Bricker declared
that he favors the continuance Of
that system with proper protection
for the retirement fund. He went
on record as favoring the creation

move the state department from

conclusion said
AS soon as state finances will
permit, the state should undertake
program Of assistance IN the re-
habilitation of school buildings and
