DR., LOUIS T. WRIGHT
1899 SPINGARN MEDALIST

DR.. Louis 7. Wright, eminent New
York physician and surgeon was chosen
to receive the 25th annual Spingarn
medal award it was announced by the
NAACP last Saturday.
The associations statement follows !:
Louis T. Wright, Spingarn Medalist,
for his contributions to the healing of
mankind and for his courageous and
uncompromising position held often in
the face of bitter attack, that Negro
men of medicine should measure up to
the most absolute standards of techni-
cal excellence and, as corolla1y, tnat
having done so, Negro medical men and
nurses should be accorded every oppor-
tunity to serve, without discrimination
on account of race or color. He has
been a consistent and persistent foe of
every form of segregation and denial
of opportunity and has played a major
part in the establishment of a yard
stick of medical proficiency which has
done much to change the attitude of
both the white and Negro medical
world and of the public at large.
"But DR.. Wright has not confined his
efforts to important crusades for prm-

how much those agencies mean to our
welfare and happiness, they will push
US far, far over the top to an all-time
record mark"
Mr.. WycFie pointed out that there
are still many people who usually are
known for their generosity to the
Fund effort, but who have not yet
made their contribution. Some of
these people, he said, may not have
been reached by solicitors yet If this
is the case, he said, they may have a
special call made to them by ringing
Garrison 9193 and asking for him,
calling the Robert Gould Shaw House
or calling the Roxbury Theatre Gust

address," he added; well get the
contribution.
Both men, as we'll as j. Caswell
Smith of the Boston Urban League
and Morris R. Taylor of the Robert
Gould Shaw House, urged that every
possible contribution, no matter how
small, be given to Fund workers be-

tributions to medical and surgical de-
velopment. He was chosen as an out
standing authority to write the section
on skull fractures in The Standard
Treatment of Fractures edited by DR..
Charles L. Scudder. In that contribu-
ton Dr. Wright broke new ground
and successfully challenged and dis
proved the soundness of previously
held theories on the treatment of skull
fractures.
"In his original work in the develop
ment OF more i've troatnunt Jf tho
hookworm, on more successful methods
of vaccination, and in other fields, he
has pushed forward the frontiers of
medical development. His distinguish
ed work as a. surgeon led to the color
line being broken in the American Col
lege of Surgeons through his election
as Fellow in 1894. During his serv-
ice as Surgical Director at Harlem
Hospital in New York City he greatly
improved standards and lowered the

OLD BOSTONIANS
By MARY E. MOORE

There is certain charm in being an
Old Bostonian. Mrs. Gertrude L.
Cromwell of whom l am writing today
bears that title with all the honor that
goes with it. There is a humorous eX-
preston that Boston is the Hub of the
Universe" and let me tell you these
Old Bostonians of color were here
when the phrase originated. They
helped in remarkable way to make
Boston what it was then, and what it
il ,oday.
Too little is known of the Old Bos-
tonians; so l asked Mrs. Cromwell,
who is one of them, to tell me some
thing of her life and that Of her family

at II Anderson St., West End 1t was
cold and after dining at Father Di-
vines on Columbus Ave, we started
for the West End. When we reached
Anderson St. co." said my compan-
ion, there is my mothers house, there
is my mothers kitchen, there is the
front door" Well, we rang the bell
and who should open the door but Mrs.
Lima who was the librarian here at
our Roxbury Crossing Public Library.
"Do let us in said Mrs. Cromwell, 81
was born in this house 70 years ago,
and I'd like to retrace my girIhood
steps" "Some in" said Mrs. Lima. We
went to the top floor and-"this is
where | used to play when | was a
little girl, his was my mothers attic.
O, do let me go all through" "By all
means, said our hostess, and every
room brougt back such pleasant memo
ries that before we realized it Mrs.
Lima was serving us with Old Home
made Italian wine and cake, in that
true hospitable style that was exer-
cised in those days of long ago when
Mrs. Cromwell was a girl in that dear
old house.
We went to the lower floor and there
we were shown through, and such glee,
such expressions of joy, that only a
child could be expected to utter. ''Now,

I was born" Very well, come right

dent Of the Institute of American Art.
This new school of thought definitely

to express in art our own character and
mode Of life. Thus the world now looks
to America to lead the avenues Of cul-
tur matters pertaining to art.

BLAZING new
TRAIL FOR RACE

Word was received this week that
an old Bostonian is blazing a new
trail for his race in New York and

prise.

BOykin, formerly head of the African
Art and Culture movement here, VI.
has recently opened a shop for the
restoration of old paintings in New
York's busy Twelfth Street section
downtown. Mr.. Boykin's business is
in the heart of the art center and
antique area of New York.
Mr.. Boykin's shop takes the famous
old paintings that have been dimmed
with age and carefully restores the
old lustre. Far from an easy process,
he and three experts must painstak-
ingly chip off layer after layer of
09int. varnish and lacquer often hav-

Of .'o9rs ago. The shop then builds
up to the surface with special var
nishes that the former Bostonian i'm
oorts from strange corners of the
world himself.
Among the clientele of the shop,

Senate Group 10 Act;
May Report Labor Law
Changes This Session
Formal Consideration
To Begin Next Tuesday;
Witnesses to Be Heard
BY the Associated Press.

Gs ekie AssOSidIcu EIcsS
The Senate Labor Committee
agreed today on a procedure for
handling Wagner Act amendments
which members said would place
them before the Senate this session
IF possible"
Chairman Thomas, announcing
after today's meeting that formal
consideration would start next
Tuesday, said some committee
members had urged that amend
ments already approved by the
House should be passed on to the
Senate Immediately. But the ma
jority believed, he said, that inter-
ested factions should be consulted
before the legislation was cleared
This, members said, meant the leg
islation would be before the COM
mittee for an indefinite time.
In line with its decision, Senator
Thomas said, the committee will
hold a series of closed sessions to
60 over the legislation with William
Green, American Federation of
Labor chief; John L. Lewis, presi-
dent of the Congress of Industrial
Organizations; some one represent
ing the National Association of
Manufacturers, and others.
Taft Sees Time for Action Now.
Prior to today's session Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio had FORE
cast strong effort for immediate
committee action, saying II don't
see why we shouldn't 60 ahead.
We're going to be here until Septem-
Der anyway"
The N. A. M. asked for early
action on the amendments in view of
increased powers which the Labor
Board would get under the pending
National Guard and CONSUMPTION
bills.
H. w. Prentis, jr., president of the
N. A. M, telegraphed committeeman
that proposal to make it an unfair
labor practice not to re-employ men
called for military service, made
immediate amendment of the Wag-
ner Act "even more necessary"
House Amendments.
The House amendments would
abolish the present Labor Board
and set up a new three-member
agency to exercise only judicial func-
tions. Administrative duties would
be turned over to an administrator
appointed by the President.
Senator Taft forecast controversy
over q provision which would let
craft union obtain recognition as
bargaining unit within any plant.
This provision was Objectionable to
the c. /. O., he said, which in most
cases represents workers without re-
gard to craft lines.
