WATSON, BATISTE
TO GO ABROAD

Lincoln, Neb. Aug. 3 CAMP
A. II. meet here last Monday and
Tuesday Joe Batiste, Ii year old
high school hurdler from Tuseon,
Ariz., found himself a member,
along with Bill Watson of Michi-
a of the 10 man American
track team who will compete in
the international games to be
held in London Aug. 7.
Batiste won the high hurdles
after Fred Wolcott of Rice, gen.
orally recognized as the greatest
in the world today, stumbled over
the eight and ninth sticks and
came in second. But the AAU con-
sistently names winners of the ma
tional championships, no matter
how surprising their victories
may be. Although most of the
selections committee felt Wotcott
should be chosen, after several
hours of wrangling, the bid went
to Batiste.
Watson failed to win a cham
pionship but was picked because
of his versatility. The 10 Ameri-
cans must compete in Ia events
The Michigan star is Big II
champion in the discus, shot pui
and broad jump and also al higl
jump and throw the javelin.

posted slogans which read:
"Mr. Christensen doesn't want
our votes, and We don't want his

"Then Mr.. Christensen, repu-

and he had to withdraw from the

The Indian was all action; his

seeing that he was losing the battle
against two very hardened adver-

leased his grip while REGARDS did
likewise. Taking advantage of the
momentary lull in the struggle, the
native made a final desperate e.

ANOTHER NEGRO
GETS APPOINTMENT

Washington, d. c. Frank l..
Williams, principal of the Vashon
High School in st. Louis, Mo-,
has been appointed a member of
the housing authority of that ci-
ty, according to information re-
ceived here last week by Nathan
Straus, Administrator of the u
nited States Housing Authority.
The appointment of the st. Louis
educator and civic leader brings to
q total of 81 the number of Ne
groes now serving on local author
tides in cities throughout the coun-
try. Long a leader in the commun-
ity life of ST. Louis, Mr.. Williams
is chairman of the Board of Man
ayers of the Pine Street Y.M.C.A.,
member of the Board of Curators
of Lincoln University of Missouri,
and president of the New Age
Building and Loan Association.
Endorsing the appointment, The
ST. LOUIS ARGUS asserts: "In
the selection of Mr.. Williams as
a representative of the colored
people of this community, we think
Mayor made a fine choice, for
Mr.. Williams is a man of honor
and integrity and had had a wide
experience in the business field,
particularly along real estate
lines"
Negro membership on local hous-
ing authorities has been urged by
Mr.. Straus. Addressing the Sec
ond National Conference on the
Problems of the Negro and the
South, the USHA Administrator
said: "In every community in
which there is a large Negro pop
ulation living in the slums, it seems
to me fitting, proper and reason
able that one member of the To-
cal housing authority should be a
member of that race"
Among the 81 Negro members
of local housing authorities are
three women: Mrs. Jesse L. Ter
ry, clubwoman and civic leader, re-
Gently appointed to the Los An
geles authority; Mrs. Mary Nc
Leod Bethune, educator and NYA
executive, Daytona Beach, Fla;
and Mrs. Hattie E. Clark, social
worker, Charleston, West Va.

AID TO WEATHER STUDY
Balloon Soundings and Radio in
Experiments at Harvard University

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.-Radio bal
loon soundings of the atmosphere
were The chief activity of the Har-
ward weather station during the last
year, according to Director Charles
F. Brooks of the Blue Hill observa-
tory, at Harvard university.
Harvard's pioneer experimental
ton with automatic radio meteoro-
graph balloons, for upper air sound
ings. after three years has resulted
in widespread use of such instru-
ments for regular weather observa-
tions.
Our aim to find an easier, more
certain and less expensive way to
sound the atmosphere has been ac-
complished, and much sooner than
we expected, when in 1885 we de-
signed and used the first American
radio-meteorograph." Brooks said.
The United States weather bureau
has converted of its II airplane
stations to radio-meteorograp or
radiosondes as they now are called,
and it hopes to change the other six
next summer and add Is more if
congress supplies the necessary
money, he said.
The army and navy have convert
ed four stations. China has bought
many Harvard radio-meteoro-
graphs; and Japan. England. India
and Germany are experimenting
with the Harvard instrument.
Backed by orders now for thou
sands of acknowledgements, the
manufacturers are engaging in fur
ther improvements in design on so
much larger a scale than we can
that we now are turning our atten-
ton mainly to studying the results
obtained from the daily soundings
at SO many stations" Brooks said.
