THREE FINE SONS
DR.. Archer was the living repre-

student-athlete will have a more
articulate personality than the mere
student.
He was vital, big, strong positive

harmony of culture and refinement.

1t was not that way with
the late DR.. Samuel Howard
Archer. He worked quietly,
patiently, and unassumingly.
Whatever publicity may ever
have been accorded his activi-
ties was purely coincidental,
because ne was a man who
didn't believe in making a fuss
over anything.

DIR. Archer made some def

Still, one did not have to be
a Morehouse man to reap the
benefits of his constructive
influence. He was a guiding
inspiration to every young
man who came in contact with
him. DR.. Archer was a great
believer in youth.
What is the explanation for

Walker is rated fifth in Group

NO OUTSTANDING
BLACK HOPE

But there is no ONE outstanding
propect to succeed Joe Louis to the
heavyweight throne in the entire
list!
In fact, there is no three colored
heavyweights in the country I
don't believe Joe Louis would fail
TO stop, all inside two rounds
apiece, in the same night. That is
a sad plight indeed.
WALKER, BOBO ADVANCING
Best of a sad lot apparently are
Buddy walker of Columbus, Ohio
and Harry Bobo of Pittsburgh. The
latter is fresh from a highly i'm
pressive defeat of Gl1nnar Burland,
the Finnish heavyweight at one
time believer headed for a heavy
weight title shot. Lou Nova, ON his
first upward climb before the Ga
lento debacle, eliminated the Fight
ing Finn.
Joe LOUIS St1ccceSSor-and it'S100-
to-1, shot it won't turn out other
wise-will be a white boy. The
Sepia crop is mediocre and then
some. Walker and Bobo, best of
the present array of ambitious
sepiaS, are still fightlng for cake
and coffee. Toles, a rank in-and-
outer whose chief distinction to
fame is the fact that, like Joe
Louis, he halls from the Motor
City of Detroit, is nothing at all to
write home about.
TOLES CASE STRANGE ONE
Good enough to muSs up the
hopes of any of the other sepia
oontenders, including possibly
Walker and Bobo, who wouldn't be
any too anxious to fight even a
washed up" Toles, Roscoe still is a
hopeless piece of pugilistic ma
chinery, where a possible showing
against Louis is concerned. He'd
probably last no longer against
Joe than it would take you to say
Bob White. Stage-fight would have
him groggy long before the battle.
Louis would have to throw but one
punch-and it could be just glanc-
ing blow. But it's cinch the i'm
pact would floor his man. That's
how impossible Toles is as con-
tender.
Those cIamor1ng for Louis to re-
tire may continue-and with good
reason-but don't look for colored
heavyweight champion again for
another generation after the Brown
Bomber. There's not decent Sepla
heavyweight in carload and the
leading contender of sepia hue at
the present time is probably no
closer to Joe Louis in ability than
is Atlanta s Fred Waters.

Lady Astor Plans u. S. Visit
To Further Cause of ENGLAND
BY SHEILAH GRAHAM.

SPECIAL correspondent OF The star.
LONDON, July 26.-Lady Astor is
making plans for visit to the
United States.
And I will stay there" she told
me in her blitzed London drawing
room, until I have put an end to
all the rubbish that is being said
about us in the United States
I asked the American-born lady
member of Parliament for Plymouth
for more details.
I'VE British are regarded in the
United States" she said, ''as ruth
less villains bent on bringing their
sons into the war. That is abso-
lutte nonsense. No one wants war
No one likes war. They must not
forget over there that we in England
have sons too, but sometimes it is
better to die fighting than to live in
world hideous by an aggressor of
the Hitler type"
Lady Astor has four sons in the
British armed forces.
1T is the first time I have wanted
to visit the United States for a long
time" she told me, but I can't
stand it any longer. Someone must
tell them what is really going on
here. l want to visit every part of
the country and convince them of
the truth of our cause and the lies
of German propaganda.
i want to convince Americans
that together with the British they
can regulate the world by bringing
a new order of justice and mercy
instead of arms.
If America had remained in the
League of Nations at the end of the
last war, this present war would
not have been. At the end of this
war, they must stay and make peace
as we'll as the victory. 1t is their
war and their world as we'll as ours.
We in England are not a strange
species of people who like misery
and bloodshed. We now want tran
quillity and security and that is
something both nations can achieve
together"
Women and liquor abstinence are,
according to Lady Astor, who is a
rabid teatotaler and feminist, play
ing huge part in winning this war
for England.
There is much less drinking in
this war than in the last" she told
me. There is practically none
among the working classes"
In the writer's opinion this is be-
cause Of the shortage or conserva-
ton of beer, and the British work.
ingman is getting little bit peevish
about this shortage and something
will soon be done to increase the
flow.

The marriage of Miss Edna Nc
Kinley, daughter of Mr.. Edward b.
Mckinley, of Washington, to 1t.
Paul Otto Siebeneichen, of Wash
ington, took place June 81 in st.
Anthonys Church.
The bride, who was given in mar
riage by her father, wore gown
of white net over satin. Her finger
tip veil of bridal illusion was ar
ranged on a coronet of net. She
carried bouquet of white roses and
valley lilies.
Mrs. Violet Wean, a sister of the
bride, and her matron Of honor. was
dressed in pink lace and net. She
carried bouquet of pink carnations
and roses.
Mr.. Bernard w. Lyons was best
man for 1t. Siebeneichen, and the
ushers were Messrs. Thomas Rover
and Robert MCGEE.
The couple spent their honeymoon
on the New Jersey shore, and now

Lady Astor, lis drinking cocktails. "
We did not touch the upper classes
but from my own observation whisky
consumption seems to be less.
Wrong or right in this war" Lady
Astor said, women have called
mems bluff for all time, hope 1t
was women, old women in particu-
lar, who behaved most heroically
in air raids Women can take pun
ishment much better than men.
That Is why nature gave them the
task of child bearing. If men had
to have children the race would die.
Women are better executives than
men, they are less muddled, more
quiet and efficient. They did just
as we'll in the last war but at the
end the men ganged up on them and
took away the privileges they had
earned. That won't happen this
time. But of course that is not an
issue now. All We must do is win
this war by taking up all our
thoughts and all our strength. At
the end of the war the reckoning
will come and be paid"
Before leaving Lady Astor and
while I was close to the door I told
her I had one final question about
Charles A. Lindbergh.
What do you think about him
now?" / asked.
During his stay in England the
flyer was member of the Cliveden
set but if he comes back to London
