Bright and amusing .Krishna
Hutheesing, sister of Indian Prime
Minister Nehru and Indian AM
bassador Pandit. is back in WASH
ington with a fund of stories COL
lected on her lecture tour. She'll
stay at the Embassy until she
takes leave of this country on Fri
day with young son on each
arm. They'll go to Europe for
month before returning to their
home country after an absence Of
seven months.
Krishna, who covered good part
of the country talking to audi
ences of both men and women,
thinks that a letter from a MEM

Cleveland is one of the most anus

you might say, the male tendency
to give the American woman credit
for starting all kinds of customs,
bad and otherwise, but mostly bad.
After praising Mrs. Hutheesing
for her beauty, her clarity Of
speech. her articulate delivery and
comparing her eloqunece most
favorably to Franklin Roosevelt
and Winston Churchill, the gen.
tleman bemoaned the fact that
the lecturer had borrowed the
awful habit of smoking from
American women. It must have
been quite shock to him when
Krishna wrote back that the rec

To Honor
Helpful Nurse

Lena Lowe Jordan, 6~6-year-old-
nurs and founder-president of the
Lena Jordon hospital, will be hon
ored by co-workers and friends
for her'helping others help them
selves" philosophy on National
Hospital Day, May IL. The plann-
ed program is in recognition of
Miss Jordan's 40 years of service
in the nursing field and her con
tributions to her race.
A native Of Georgia, receiving
nurses training at Charity Hos
pital in Savannah, she came to
Little Rock in 1920 and was head
nurse at the Mosaic State Temp
lars hospitals. She founded the
Jordan institute FL years ago.
Her project is a 20-bed hospital
which is equipped for general
surgery, medical and obstetric
care. It accepts any patients re-
garding to his or her ability to
pay. 1t accepts any patient re,
garding Of his or her ability to
pay. On needy cases, the state
board Of health pays for 20 days
of hospital care. However, if the
days run over the amount, the
hospital furnishes the services
without charge. The physicions
serving on the staff also look af-
ter the needy patients without
charge.
In an unorthodox program for
training nurses, Miss Jordan has
brought about Is girls from the
country to work at the hospital
while attending school. She pro-
vides their clothes, board and a
small salary. Some of the girls
have managed to finish business
college through this method. They
are not required to go into nurses
training afterwards, but do receive
a practical nurses certificate for
their work at the hospital.

'Bobcat' Retired For Good
OF Game, Self
Ten years ago Lew Jenkins won
the lightweight championship of
the world by kayoeing Lou AM
bers in three rounds in New York.
Ambers is the man who took the
second of Henry Armstrong;
three titles away from him in a
bloody 1885, pound title bout.
At that time there were two
lightweight champions. Since then
Sammy Angott Beau Jack, Bob
Montgomery, and Ike Williams
have held one or another version
of this crown, and possibly a
couple of other chaps have sneak
ed in. Williams now holds the I'M
disputed title.
If you are in the habit of read
ing the tiny paragraphs at the
bottom of the page you probably
noticed that one of these champs,
Montgomery known to his fans as
"Bobcat", was retired by the Natl
onal Boxing association at the re-
quest of the Pennsylvania Athle-
tic commission.
If you read the even smaller
print under the title of Fight Re-
suits you probably have noticed
that the names of the other ex-
champs appear regularly, almost
once a month. Most of the time
they have defeated some stumble
bum. Once ortwice a year they
are pitted against some first rate
youngster after building an i'm
pressive string Of victories. This
fight they usually lose.
In these big bouts fans usually
see that these ex-kings are only
ghosts of their former selves. Of

A Dream And S
Mushroollse Into
100000 School In
Is Years
Is Years

LEXINGTON, Miss. (ANP) Miss
ARENA C. Mallory had a dream
and a little less than SIS in her
purse in 1925, but it was enough
for her to launch a project which
is now valued at 100000.
Her project is the Saints In
dustiral and Literary school, Of
which she is president as well as
founder.
In rs year, the institution de-
veloped from a dingy frame build
ing on brick stills on a dark mud
dy road, to a campus of $50
acres located on the Dixie high
way.
From this school of elementary
and high school grades, 1915
students have graduated. Forty
per cent ofthis number have gone
on to college and 80 percent have
entered the Holmes county school
system as teachers.
A native of Jacksonville, ILL.,,
her selection of social service and
education as her field of endeav-
or came at the age Of FL. She had
planned a career as a c%ontraltO
singer and had gone to Chicago to
make her debut. While there she
met the late Jane Adams of Hull
house who influenced her social
sensitivity.
Upon graduation from Jackson
will high school in 1923, she came
to Mississippi and was "dumb-
founded to find little or no edu-
cational facilities for her people.
There were no consolidated
schools, but country schools in
garages and churches; no books;
practically no health facilities;
and most ofthe teachers had only
sixth and ninth-grade educations.
She Immediately began crusade
to provide better educational fac
ilities for Negroes. She met Bis
hop C. H. Mason, founder of the
Church of God in Christ, who Of
fered her a frame shack in which
to open a school. By touring the
country soliciting funds, she was
able to secure enought money to
begin operating a school. Until re-
Gently, however, the institution
operated without a foundation en-
dowment or definite source of in
come.
From that small beginning, the
school climbed to a level where it
now boasts an IA" rating and is
accredited by the state department
of education. It's library is said to
be one of the largest in the state
among Negro schools.
Last February, Miss Mallory
undertook some graduate work at
the University of Illinois. She
commutes between Champaign,
Ill. and Lexington. For three days
out of a week, she attends her
university classes. Within an hour
