Tell me if he ever will for 1 am disgusted i Ans: He will not until you get over your disgusted attitude. Your being dissatisfied only makes him worse so..cheer up and give him a few encouraging words before he leaves the house in the morning and he will soou get a job. This is the least thing that you could do to help. S. II. —I bate just succeeded in getting a good paying job and 1 wonder if it is best that I hold to it and not go back to'school! Ans: It seems to me that the particular job that you have, the work could be done in the after noons and evenings.

WORRIES—I am undecided about my health. I feel that I can get well without doing what my doctor says. What do you advise me! Anß: You are acting very fool ish in trying to diagnose your own case..why have you spent so much money going to the doctor if you do not believe what he tells you? You must have the operation as your doctor prescribed before the Goitre will leave. B. N. P.—You have helped me four times in the past and I come to you again. Should I marry this mun or not! I know I get hellish at times. Ans: He loves you and will pro vide wonderfully for you and your little son. I too believe that some times you are responsible for the little misunderstandings that come between you. You can’t find a bet ter man than this fellow. to lead his armies in the West, as he announced at Geneva he would do, is a matter for speculation. If the emperor tours America, it is likely that his daughter, princess Tsahai, will go with him. It is said such swanky resorts as Newport and Southampton would see the emperor first. ATTY. WM. B. BANKS SENDS LETTER TO COMMISSIONER HENRY W. BUSCH Protests are b e ing made to Henry W. Busch, commissioner of parks and boulevards; und other city of ficials, aguinst the barring of Ne gro citizens from the public swim ming pool at Rouge Park. The following letter to Commis sioner Busch, was written by At torney William B. Banks, well known local attorney, and it speaks for itself: July 14, 1936 Mr. Henry W. Busch Commissioner of Parks & Illvd. Os the City of Detroit Dear Sir: This is to advise you that I have been referred to you in order to bring a matter to your attention that is in your department, and, therefore, under your control. It has recently been brought to my at tention on several occasions that there was gross and flagrant dis crimination against persons of the Colored race at the Rouge Swim ming pool. It has been conducted in one of the most subtle manners. Several members of the Colored citizens of the City of Detroit have had occasion to enter this park for the purpose of entering the swim ming pool and they have always been advised that they could not be permitted to swim in said pool be cause they had “athletic feet”. Whenever their children sought to enter said pool, they were told that they could not go in for the same reason. On taking this matter up with some of the officials In pursuit of taking criminal action for the gross violation of law, as a violation of the sense of justice, fair play and right of citizenship to all intelli gent thinking people, the commit tee was advised that, if this matter was first called to your attention, YPSILANTI, MICHIGAN Sunday service at Brown's Chapel A. M. E. was well attended. Rev. A. T. Williams brought the morning message. At 3:30 p. m. Rev. Garther Roberson preached. At Second Baptist Church Pas tor Roberson brought the morn ing message to a large attendance in spite of hot weather. At 7:30 p. m. sermon by Pastor Roberson who leaves Monday with his family on a trip to Alabama to visit parents and friends. Mrs. Hancel Wilson will accompany the family. The Ypsilanti Civic and Social Club, a group of public spirited and pro gressive young men. was repre sented creditably with an exhibi tion booth at the Ypsilanti centen nial July 3-5 at Recreation Park. Many old Relics and works of Art, were shown as the property of various Ypsilanti pioneer colored citizens. Chicken, barbecue and pop were sold to the public and brought in nice returns. The com mittee in charge of the booth were Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Brooks, Mrs. Elmer Carter, Laurence Crosby, M. Payne, Frank Rober son, president and Mr. W. M. Bran non, secretary. K. W. C. Club met last week at the home of Mrs. Bessie Burden. Mrs. Rose Starks was charming hostess to Palm Leaf Club last week. Rev. Edmond S. Carter, Ann Arbor, Mich, brother of Mr. Arthur Carter of Ypsilanti, who was born in New Boston, Mich., April 15. 1895 died Friday morn ing July 10 at the age of 41 years. Rev. Carter was killed early Fri day morning on way to work in company with 3 other WPA work- By DWIG THE DETROIT TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1936 that it would undoubtedly be cor rected without any undue publicity and embarrasment being caused our public officials. When I first brought this mat ter to the officials, it was not thought possible that a thing of this type was being committed in a public purk, especially in view of the fact that it was not being committed in other large public parks In the City like Belle Isle. Inorder to ascertain that this vio lation was actually being practised at Rouge Park, the writer person ally went to the said Park on July 11th at about 6:45 P. M. and was sold a ticket to enter said pool, that when he approached the door of entrance to pool, the manager there went to the person station ed at the door (who later told the writer that he was the pool in spector) and made some sign to wards the writer. When the writ er reached the Inspector, the In spector immediately advised him that he could not enter said pool because he was possessed of "ath letic feet”. I thereupon asked the Inspector his name and was told it was John Holly. I was given a brass check and told to return to the office and my money would he refunded. I retained said brass check as evidence of my rejection. As chairman of this committee that has been appointed to investi gate this matter I desire to know your disposition of this practise and please advise me when it has been eliminated and it will be a gain ascertained if some of your employees or servants are con tinuing this conduct after you have made effort to eliminate the same. Yours truly, (signed) Wm. V. Banks era. Mr. Frank Fields, 927 Main street was also killed. The other two, Fred Adams and Richard Woods, all of Ann Arbor were seriously injured. Funeral ser vices were conducted from Brown Chapel A. M. E. Church Monday, July 13, at 2 p .m. Rev. Handcock. Detroit officiating, assisted by Rev. A. T. Williams. Burial in Den ton, Mich. Rev.

As she des cended the gung plank, Miss Moten who was accompanied on her tour by Miss Enid Lee of Boston, her accompanist, expressed her appreciation at being “back home” but admitted in the next breath that she had been charmed with the beauty and graciousuess of the Argentine and Brazil, the two countries which she visited. “It was a remarkable experience to have no sense of inhibition be cause of race or color,” she said. “In Argentine, the people simply do not think of color while in Brazil being brown was a virtue." Miss Moten played the exclusive “Muipo” Theatre in Buenos Aires and the Urea Casino, a theatre in De Janerio which she described as WOULD IN REVIEW (By Frank Marshall Davis for AM*) AIMING AT HKARST It’s a parlor pastime to take oc casional potshots at William Ran dolph Hearst, the multi-millin aire publisher. Communists are opposed to him socialists dislike him, liberals do not care for him, New Dealers call him their foe. Negroes are joining in with their penny’s-worth. He is loved only by those who wknt to keep this a country for the moneyed men to exploit the poor. And yet, his pa pers are read by millions of Americans every day. According to a survey conducted recently by Fortune, the high class subsidiary of Times magazine, 43 out of every 100 persons in cities with Hearts newspapers regard their influence on national affairs as bad. This shows a higher level of intelligence than many thought possible. The Hearts press has come in to disfavor among some Negroes— who read it anyway—because of the stand of Arthur Brisbane and certain correspondents on the Ethiopian war the position taken on the Louis-Carnera fig|it, and lately the comments of Hearst.’* International News Service sports writer on the defeat of Louis by Schmeling.

Miss Moten was met at quaran tine by her husband, who rode the government cutter down the bay to bourd the steamer before it docked. She was booked to play the Appollo Theatre as soon as she lauded from the boat and will re turn to begin that engagement July 17 from Chicago, her home, for which point she left after a brief stay here.

A year ago the plant’s power re quirements were 130,000 kilowatts. The power required to operate the plant is increasing steadily and by the end of the year is expected to reach 180,000 kilowatts. The present output of the Rouge power plant, largest industrial high-pressure steam plant in the world, utilizes all of the pre sent 42 power distribution circuits, intended to meet the requirements of immediate future needs. Pro vision has been made for the in stallation of 12 additional circuits at a later date, giving the power house a total of 66 main power lines to the Rouge plant. The cost of the distribution equipment to be installed immediately will be $236,000. Miscellaneous expendi tures estimated at SBO,OOO will bring the total cost of the new work to approximately $420,000. The new circuits will give the power house pow’er distribution e quipment capable of handling a load of 265.000 kilowatts. The ul timate capacity of the power house will be 345,000 kilowatts. The pre sent generating equipment has a peak capacity of 215,000 kilowatts, including one 110,00 kilowatts, three 30.000 kilowatt turbo-generat ors. and one 15,000 kilowatt back pressure unit.
