Poetic Thoughts
Blame Yourself
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

When you can't the reason why
Some people always fly high
And have everything they could wish for in life,
And you're still struggling, you and your wife. ..
You think the world is always wrong,
Has nothing for you but dismal song,
It's the same old grind day in and out,
Which hasn't solved and you're still in doubt.
You always think bad luck is at your door,
In all your efforts negative results is the score,
If favorable establishment begets you at once,
And you has turned of her unexanabe stunts
at must be wrong how could it ever be-
That bad luck has left moment to be free,
For everything I've tried just won't blend,
With the happiness that I'd love to spend"
Now take IN inventory of yourself some day,
Concentrate and what makes you that way
Yes there's a reason and your analysis will prove
Rlae yourself for the outlook which holds you

which the world marvels and of

To be one Of these might well
be the ambition Of every young

American Negro shall find a place.

As Corporation Counsel Nov. !
Decision to Return to
Private Law Practice
Is Revealed

Corporation Counsel ElWood n.
Seal plans to resign from District
service to return to private law
practice, effective November l, it
was stated today at the District
Building.
So far as could be learned, he has
not yet filed any written resignation
with the Commissioners and it was
said it was unlikely he would do so
in the immediate future. However,
he has talked with friends of his
contemplated plans, naming Novem-
ber l as the date.
Mr.. Seal, who has been corpora
ton counsel since August 5, 1886,
has been given general credit for
obtaining passage by Congress of
an unusually large number of pieces
of District legislation. He succeed
ed E. Barrett Prettyman, who re-
signed early in 1886 to return to
private law practice. Mr.. Pretty
man had been appointed to take the
place of w. w. Bride, who resigned
in March, 1884.
Mr.. Seal began his career as a
District government attorney in
July, 1927, but resigned in February
of the next year. He returned to
position as one of the assistant cor

British Envoy Meets
Press 10 Answer
Queries on Visit
Reporters Told King
Hopes to Improve
Ties With U. S.
BY GARNETT ID. HORNER.

King George vi hopes to improve
the ties of friendship between Great
Britain and the United States when
he visits here next month, British
Ambassador Sir Ronald Lindsay said
today at the first press conference
he ever held.
Sir Ronald was attempting to do
his part to insure friendly news
paper reception for the royal visit
by Subjecting himself to a barrage
Of questions from newspaper men and
women, some of whom had become
dlsgruntled at not being invited to
the Embassy garden party for the
King and Queen. -~.
Only limited number can be ac-
commodated at the garden party,
Sir Ronald explained, adding jocu-
larly that "it is just like heaven
some are taken and some are left"
Sir Ronald appeared nervous and
uncomfortable but determined to
carry on do or die" fashion at
the start of his precedent-shattering
press conference, but warmed UP"
a bit and was able to smile and in
ject some of his dry British humor
into the latter part of the half-hour
exchange of questions and answers
Surprised at Number.
He obviously was amazed at the
number of reporters who attended
the conference He apologized for
having to receive the approximately
so writer's in the hall of the embassy
/ where there were no chairs for
them. explaining that the embassy
really isn't equipped for press con-
| ferences-I never held one before in
my life"
, After remarking that he had
nothing in particular to say, but
would be glad to try to answer any
questions, and that he had not ex-
pected any woman reporters to be
there because he did not consider
himself competent to speak about
the things they were interested in.
the tall Ambassador Strengthened
his shoulders and said:
Here I am, gentlemen. If you
will start shooting, I will do my
best"
He was asked first to explain the
purpose of the visit of King George
and Queen Elizabeth to this country
ut was arranged primarily as a
visit to Canada he said. "The
question of coming to the United
States was not to the fore at all
although it may have been in the
Kings mind, until the visit to Cam
ada was settled. Then it surely
must have been the most natural
thing in the world to extend the
visit to the United States.
"Not Primarily Political"
"The purpose of the visit here is
not primarily political. although it
is obvious that when the King visits
a foreign country part of his pur-
pose is to improve the ties of friend
ship with that country as far as
he possibly can. There is no more
