Unable to See Workout
There were at least 1000 peo-
pie on the grounds who were I'M
able to get near enough to the
arena to see the workouts. Those
who did see them were favorably
impressed with the seriousness with
which Joe went about his work.
The crowd, being an enthusiastic
one, cheered Joe often as he belted
his sparring mates and evaded their
efforts with defense that could not
be penetrated. There wasn't any
question in the minds of most of
those present that Louis would
be the victor by a Knockout on
Wednesday night.
Talks to Joe
After workout Joe Louis retired
to the gym and his dressing room.
The usual friends and we'll wishers
tried to see him, but between the
two state police and Joe's body
guard, less than a dozen people had
the privilege of seeing him. For
tunately, your correspondent was
numbered with the few that did
see and talk with Joe Louis.
George Barton, sports editor of the
Minneapolis Tribune, also received
special consideration.
There were many celebrities of
the boxing and social world to be
seen on the grounds of the train
ing camp. Everyone seemed to be
in good spirits and thoroughly en-
joying each others company with
out any racial difference.
Harlem before the fight had TAX
en- on a carnival spirit and grew
more in number and excitement as
the time drew near for the bell to
sound that would start the great
est fight since the Dempsey-Tun-
ney fight in Chicago in 1927.
Night Life Gay
The night life of Harlem was
at its best. Everything had been
done in the way of entertainment
for the out of town visitors. And
many visitors there were in Old
Harlem. 1t was conservatively es-
timated that 5000 colored fight
fans from all parts of the country
were in Harlem to celebrate the
Louis victory they anticipated.
And, believe me, Harlem was a
gay, noisy place after the fight;
every place was overlooking with
a good natured, jolly crowd until
the wee hours of the morning.
Little Disorder
By 800 a. m. some of the cele-
bration had spent its force and the
writer inquired of the police in diff
ferent sections of Harlem if any
serious trouble had taken place be-
cause of any over-act of celebra-
ton. They reported to the man
nothing had taken place of a
serious nature. The only report of
disorder came from Lennox and
130th Sts., where they found it nee
essary to turn on a hose on a

Phyllis Wheatley, 1 spent a most
marvellous afternoon in the WPA
craft shop on Bird ST., in Minneapo-
lis. Later I filled a column with
the thrilling experience. ! was
urged at that time by Miss Brown
to visit the WPA unit in the old
New England building on 1st Ave
nue., in the same city. 1 was, for
one reason or another, delayed
from this until this week.
Under the kindly direction of
Mrs. Margaret Anderson, in charge
of much of the work, l was per
mitted to visit the work rooms, see
what is being done and place my
own evaluation upon its value to
the workers and to the general
public, the recipients of the labor
of some 1,700 workers.
The outstanding difference be-
tween the handicraft shop and the
unit seen today is that the first
named devotes much of time and
labor to art development, while the
sewing unit is marked by utili-
tartan production. Several floors
in the old New England building
and two shift crew produce gar
ments for the men, women and
children on direct relief. These in
clude many articles of wearing ap-
parel made up as carefully and
perhaps more so than factories
turn out in their regular produc-
lions. =
Beginning with women who have
had little experience. and possess
but small knowledge of sewing, it
continues with others more skilled
as seamstresses, to the highest type
of artisans who work with power
machines.
In addition to the great direct
value to those whose work enables
them to feel themselves accredited
workers with a regular job to do
and the relief clients who profit
from it, two outstanding factors
appear. .-.-. ..
First the workers appear hap
py, contented group who under
stand and enjoy the work they do,
knowing how much they accom-
plish in behalf of community well
fare. The work is pleasant, con-
ditions most sanitary-a nurse is
always on duty to care for emer-
gency cases, with proper rest
rooms and health appliances at
hand. Discipline is maintained but
not made burdensome for the work
ers may talk to those Immediately
about them. A library containing
varied types of literature is kept
for their use and other books may
be had from the public library
without cards.
The other is the educational op-
portunities offered. Nearly all of
the women employed learn while
working, to do many things for
which they have had no previous
training. When and if the depres-
sion that has made this establish
ment necessary passes, these wom-
en- may return to their homes much
better prepared to meet and over
come the daily hindrances to the
successful care of the. occupants
of the home in the matter of COM

don't want to- wait much longer.
l feel there will be great happiness
and prosperity in married life for
me if I were to marry this man.
How are my chances?
Ans: The young man in ques-
ton is also interested -. but it
might take a jolt of some kind to
make him realize his love for you.
Arouse his jealousy as well as
work around to the subject and
make him come out with it s. .

Here And
There
By w. M. Smith

A rumor relayed to this writer
had it that one of the prominent
colored members of the Catholic
church was seeking to establish a
church of that denomination for
the Negro Catholics of Minneapo-
lis.
Without arguing the question as
to whether such action would or
would not benefit the Negro group
1 have been eager, for other rea-
sons, to test the accuracy of the
statement. So 1 applied to this
prominent Catholic for first-hand
information. 49,.
Briefly, he tells me, that so far
as he is concerned the rumor is
without foundation. He informs
me further that a Negro Catholic
church could not be set up in Min
neapolis because (a) it is against
Catholic policy to have such an in
stitution, (b) there are not enough
of the Negro Catholic group to
meet the overhead of such an or
ganization even if it were permits
sible to have one, (c) he, alone,
could not institute such action but
of necessity would have to repre-
sent the opinions of many more
and this he has not been called
upon to do.

rolled around once more We've been having
the joyful noises in our neighborhood for over
week already, for two small boys were fond

well meaning friends and the chosen battle

Loco Crime
MGrijuGnG Is Blamed
For LGLU Defiance

Use of marijuana is now an inn
portant contributory factor in the
growth of crime, according to- a
survey published today by the
opium research committee of the
Foreign Policy Association.
The survey, based on recent data
gathered from Federal and State
agencies, states marijuana addic.
tion is particularly prevalent
among young persons and is di-
rectly responsible for serious Grim
inal acts. Marijuana was virtually
unknown in this country 10 years
ago, but it now is grown in prac-
tically every section of the
country. .
The survey suggests both the
criminal who uses the drug and
the dope peddler should receive
maximum penalties, "if society is
to be protected from marijuana
crimes" p r.
