Dixie Division Moves North;
Band Wears Rebel Uniform
The
31st Infantry from Dixie which
boasted off its "all white division
is now stationed at the "Yankee"
Camp Atterbury in Indiana.
This division, which comes from
Alabama and Mississippi, claims
immunity from President Truman's
racial integration directive to the
armed forces. With the permission
of the Army, the bandsmen of this
division came "up north" wearing
Confederate uniforms.
Official sources from the department, 
of defense admitted that
the 31st infantry bandsmen had
been given permission to wear the
uniform of their choice. Under
army regulations, according to the
spokesman, a division is permitted
to wear the type of uniform it desires 
if (1) it is a military uniform, 
(2) if the uniforms are supplied 
without cost to the federal
government. (3) if the selected uniform 
tends to raise the morale of
troops and (4) if the division gets
proper permission from the army.
This division's request meets the
Four required points, continued the
spokesman, adding that while the
Confederate uniforms "might be
distasteful to some people, they
still build the the morale of this
particular division.
The spokesman admitted that the
problem of integration is a ticklish

one but the Army hopes to solve it,
in a way that will avoid hurting
anyone's feelings and at the same
time utilize all manpower to the
Best advantage.
It was pointed out that the National 
Guard divisions are operated
slightly different from the regular
army. Each state is permitted to
operate its own division as it sees
fit. But when the division comes
on active duty it is supposed to
abide by the regular army regulations. 

This Dixie division is the only
Army division without Negro
troops, although it has been in
federal service for nearly 15 months.
The only explanation that could
be given to this situation was that
the Army hopes to implement its
policy of integration with the least
possible friction. Authorities seem
to feel that integration cannot be
successfully accomplished by aggravating 
either side.
It is time that the "hatchet be
buried" between the North and
South, agreed the spokesman.
In an effort to bring good will
between the two sections the portrait 
or Gen. Robert E. Lee was
recently Unveiled at West Point.
Gen. Lee's picture, wearing his
Confederate uniform, became the
first of the Great Southern Generals 
to be placed on the wall of
this famous Military Academy.

Atomic Artillery Shells
Studied For Army Use

WASHINGTON—
A top army General 
declared Wednesday that
maneuvers in Nevada prove that
atomic artillery shells can be used
on the battlefield with almost absolute 
safety to friendly troops.
Gen. John E. Hull, army vicechief 
of staff, gave his views, at a
news conference immediately following 
his return from witnessing
Tuesday's atomic explosion near
Las Vegas.
Hull said "the most reliable weapons 
are artillery," there is nothing
about an atomic artillery shell that
impairs its accuracy and the danger
in using the super-weapon is no
greater than with ordinary artillery.
He said the airplane is "perfect"
for giving atomic support to troops
under ideal conditions, but that the
army must have guns and guided
missiles to fire atomic wareheads
under all conditions, at "fleeting"
targets, and in-round the clock ope
rations. 

Hull said no atomic artillery shells
have been fired yet, but he hinted
they may be tested next year. He
said there are "no serious bottlenecks" 
in the program and that
plans for 1953 atomic tests have not
been completed.
The general said that none of the
more than 2,000 troops taking part
in Tuesday's maneuvers was hurt
and that they stood up in their
foxholes three to four seconds after
the blast. The troops could have attacked 
into the center of the blast
area immediately—as fast as they
could get there—without danger
from radioactivity, he added.
Hull declared: "We need an atomic 
weapon that will hit into a
circular area of probability 100 per
cent of the time.
"That means artillery. We also
need atomic guided missies because 
the possibility of range is
much greater and they may develop
the accuracy of artillery."

Moron Attends Meetings
Of Caribbean Commission
President
Alonzo G. Moron of-Hampton Institute 
is away from the campus for a
month's trip during which he will
attend Caribbean Commission meetings 
both in this country and in
Guadeloupe, French West Indies.
The Washington meetings, held
last week, were those of the U. S.
Section of the Commission, to which
President Moron wits appointed last
year, shortly before he left the campus 
on a year's health leave. The
Guadeloupe meetings scheduled May
5-11, are those of the full commission, 
which includes four members
each from the United States, Great
Britain, France, and the Netherlands. 

The Commission is an advisory
Body to the territorial governments
of the Caribbean and to the national
governments responsible for those
territories. It deals with the economic 
and social problems of the
area. As-former commissioner of

public welfare for the Virgin Islands
the Hampton Institute president
was a natural choice for the U. S.
Section.
Other members of the U. S. Section 
are Ward M. Canaday, president 
of Willys-Overland Motors;
Sol Luis Descartes, treasurer of
Puerto Rico; and Senator Luis A.
Negron Lopez, vice-president, of the
Puerto Rican senate.
During his absence President Moron, 
who has not yet resumed his
full duties at Hampton Institute, also 
has attended meetings of the college 
Board of Trustees last Friday
April 25, in New York City. He will
spend the rest of his time traveling
and resting, in the Caribbean area

Teen-Age Is A
Big Eating Age
(Prepared especially for women's
pages of newspapers and women's
radio programs Mailing list is retricted) 

In This Issue;
HIGH CAT LOW COST: Plentiful 
spring citrus supplies.
BIG EATING AGE. Teen-age
boys need the most food.
WASHER LOAD. Weight and assortment 
of clothes both count toward 
cleanliness.
LABOR-SAVING LABELS. For
easy, orderly storage of winter clothes 
and blankets.
Diet studies have often showed
that people are likely to run low on
vitamin C in early spring before
fresh vegetables and early fruits
come on. But this year's great supply 
of oranges and grapefruit can
prevent this spring shortage in C,
even for families on close budgets.
Record-large production is indicated 
for the Florida Valencia
orange and grapefruit crops, the U,
S. Department of Agriculture announces. 
Family food-shoppers
generally will find canned and
frozen citrus products on markets
at lowest price levels in two years.
When Junior come of teen age,
he often surprises and even dismays 
his parents by his enormous
appetite. Many a mother complains
that he eats more than his dad yet
is always hungry, that he gets the
lion's share at meals and still raids
the refrigerator, or that it costs
more to feed him than anyone else
in the family.
Nutritionists of the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture, however
view this appetite favorably. When
his period or rapid growth and development 
begins, they say a boy
needs more calories and also more
protein, vitamins and minerals—
not only food to fill him up but the
right kinds of food. In the family
food plans developed by the Bureau
of Human Nutrition and Home Econics, 
the boy from 13 to 20 years
is allotted more food than older or
younger members of the family
The extra cost of feeding him well
is a good investment in health.
He needs a quart of milk a day
(or its equivalent in dairy foods
like milk and ice cream) especially 
for calcium for growing bones.
Many teen-age boys nowadays like
milk well enough to drink more
than a quart a day—all to the good,
the nutritionists say, unless they
take, so much fluid milk before
meals that they slight other heeded
foods.
To get Junior to take his quota of
fruits and vegetables often is the
big problem He needs 3 1-2 to 4
pounds of leafy green and yellow
vegetables a week. Mothers often
can arrange this by serving attractive 
salads as a first course at lunch
or dinner, or meat and vegetable
combinations like stews. Studies
show that among teen-agers boys
are more likely to run low on vitamin 
C than girls. Junior needs 3
to 3 1-2 pounds of citrus fruit or
tomatoes a week, and breakfast
seems the best time to serve them.
Studies show that if he misses vitamin 
C foods at breakfast, he's
unlikely to make up the lack at
other meals.
Boys of this age incline toward
foods that fill them up fast like
bread or baked goods, or sweets that
assauge the appetite. It's easy for
them to overdo these foods at the
expense of vegetables and fruits.
Proper, loading is important for
successful laundering in any washing 
machine, advises Elaine Knowles
Weaver of the Ohio Experiment
Station. She has made an extensive
study which included washing 20,000 
pounds of soiled clothes from 32
different families in which she used
5 different automatic washers and
a reliable, well-known conventional
or non-automatic washer for comparison. 

Among many findings, she reports
that too heavy a load of clothes or
too many large pieces together are
the cause of many complaints
against washers. During her study
75 housewives phoned that their
machines would not remove soil.
The trouble often was overloading.
Ten self-service, laundry operators
reported overloading as their greatest 
problem with cylinder-type wash
ers.
Manufacturers of the cylinder or
agitator-type washers rated the load
capacity as 9 pounds; the pulsator
washer as 8 pounds. The Ohio study
showed that all washers did a better 
job with a 7 1-2 or 8-pound load.
Housewives may well weigh clothes
before putting them into the washer 
until they know from experience
the clothes that make up an 8pound 
load.
She also found that a combination 
of large and small pieces was
most practical and satisfactory for
family washing. Combinations of
small items washed well because
they could move freely, but a load
of sheets, for example, gave trouble.
in agitator-type washers a load of
sheets could not move freely for
cleaning, "billowed" around the
agitators, and turned over so slowly 
that the mechanism seemed to
work continuously on only part of
the washing.
For best results she suggests the
following typical assortment for an
8-pound load: 2 sheets, 2 pillow slips
2 bath towels, 2 men's white shirts,
2 luncheon cloths, and about a
pound of tea towels or other small
items. In the typical family wash
there will be two such loads, then a
third load of dresses and undergarments, 
and finally a load of colored
or badly soiled items that must be
washed separately from the white
clothes.
Many efficiency methods and arrangements 
developed in industry
have been adapted in the home to
save time and labor in housework.
But women can also take tips on
easy, orderly storage from deportment 
stores, noting, for example,
how carefully stores label and inventory 
their wares.
Time spent on labels and lists of
articles stored away this spring may
be saved many times over later in
the year, home-economists of the
U. S. department of Agriculture suggest. 
For example, they advise taking 
time to label each bag or box
of winter clothing in order of con
tents 
as clothes are put away, and
then keep a list of what is stored
where. At any time when you want
to get out one item — a sweater or
a wool shirt for a summer vacation
trip perhaps — you won't, have to
hunt and tumble out all the stored,
clothes. Next fall you can bring out
clothes systematically as you need
them.
The easiest and often most efficient 
way to store winter clothes,
blankets or other seasonal items is
on the installment plan. First to
put away safe against moth damage 
are the midwinter items — furs,
heavy coats and blankets and snowsuits. 
Later, as the weather is warmer 
and the need for lighter wools is

over, these can be packed away. By
surfing little by little you can sandwich 
these jobs into the regular
housework routine.
Or, you may prefer to store as you
spring-clean, taking one room at a
time, and packing winter clothes
from closets and bureau drawers as
you clean and spray. Either way, it
pays to label and list as you go
however good your memory is.

Diet studies have often showed
that people are likely to run low on
vitamin C in early spring before
fresh vegetables and early fruits
come on. But this year's great supply 
of oranges and grapefruit can
prevent this spring shortage in C,
even for families on close budgets.
Record-large production is indicated 
for the Florida Valencia
orange and grapefruit crops, the U,
S. Department of Agriculture announces. 
Family food-shoppers
generally will find canned and
frozen citrus products on markets
at lowest price levels in two years.
When Junior come of teen age,
he often surprises and even dismays 
his parents by his enormous
appetite. Many a mother complains
that he eats more than his dad yet
is always hungry, that he gets the
lion's share at meals and still raids
the refrigerator, or that it costs
more to feed him than anyone else
in the family.
Nutritionists of the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture, however
view this appetite favorably. When
his period or rapid growth and development 
begins, they say a boy
needs more calories and also more
protein, vitamins and minerals—
not only food to fill him up but the
right kinds of food. In the family
food plans developed by the Bureau
of Human Nutrition and Home Econics, 
the boy from 13 to 20 years
is allotted more food than older or
younger members of the family
The extra cost of feeding him well
is a good investment in health.
He needs a quart of milk a day
(or its equivalent in dairy foods
like milk and ice cream) especially 
for calcium for growing bones.
Many teen-age boys nowadays like
milk well enough to drink more
than a quart a day—all to the good,
the nutritionists say, unless they
take, so much fluid milk before
meals that they slight other heeded
foods.
To get Junior to take his quota of
fruits and vegetables often is the
big problem He needs 3 1-2 to 4
pounds of leafy green and yellow
vegetables a week. Mothers often
can arrange this by serving attractive 
salads as a first course at lunch
or dinner, or meat and vegetable
combinations like stews. Studies
show that among teen-agers boys
are more likely to run low on vitamin 
C than girls. Junior needs 3
to 3 1-2 pounds of citrus fruit or
tomatoes a week, and breakfast
seems the best time to serve them.
Studies show that if he misses vitamin 
C foods at breakfast, he's
unlikely to make up the lack at
other meals.
Boys of this age incline toward
foods that fill them up fast like
bread or baked goods, or sweets that
assauge the appetite. It's easy for
them to overdo these foods at the
expense of vegetables and fruits.
Proper, loading is important for
successful laundering in any washing 
machine, advises Elaine Knowles
Weaver of the Ohio Experiment
Station. She has made an extensive
study which included washing 20,000 
pounds of soiled clothes from 32
different families in which she used
5 different automatic washers and
a reliable, well-known conventional
or non-automatic washer for comparison. 

Among many findings, she reports
that too heavy a load of clothes or
too many large pieces together are
the cause of many complaints
against washers. During her study
75 housewives phoned that their
machines would not remove soil.
The trouble often was overloading.
Ten self-service, laundry operators
reported overloading as their greatest 
problem with cylinder-type wash
ers.
Manufacturers of the cylinder or
agitator-type washers rated the load
capacity as 9 pounds; the pulsator
washer as 8 pounds. The Ohio study
showed that all washers did a better 
job with a 7 1-2 or 8-pound load.
Housewives may well weigh clothes
before putting them into the washer 
until they know from experience
the clothes that make up an 8pound 
load.
She also found that a combination 
of large and small pieces was
most practical and satisfactory for
family washing. Combinations of
small items washed well because
they could move freely, but a load
of sheets, for example, gave trouble.
in agitator-type washers a load of
sheets could not move freely for
cleaning, "billowed" around the
agitators, and turned over so slowly 
that the mechanism seemed to
work continuously on only part of
the washing.
For best results she suggests the
following typical assortment for an
8-pound load: 2 sheets, 2 pillow slips
2 bath towels, 2 men's white shirts,
2 luncheon cloths, and about a
pound of tea towels or other small
items. In the typical family wash
there will be two such loads, then a
third load of dresses and undergarments, 
and finally a load of colored
or badly soiled items that must be
washed separately from the white
clothes.
Many efficiency methods and arrangements 
developed in industry
have been adapted in the home to
save time and labor in housework.
But women can also take tips on
easy, orderly storage from deportment 
stores, noting, for example,
how carefully stores label and inventory 
their wares.
Time spent on labels and lists of
articles stored away this spring may
be saved many times over later in
the year, home-economists of the
U. S. department of Agriculture suggest. 
For example, they advise taking 
time to label each bag or box
of winter clothing in order of con
tents 
as clothes are put away, and
then keep a list of what is stored
where. At any time when you want
to get out one item — a sweater or
a wool shirt for a summer vacation
trip perhaps — you won't, have to
hunt and tumble out all the stored,
clothes. Next fall you can bring out
clothes systematically as you need
them.
The easiest and often most efficient 
way to store winter clothes,
blankets or other seasonal items is
on the installment plan. First to
put away safe against moth damage 
are the midwinter items — furs,
heavy coats and blankets and snowsuits. 
Later, as the weather is warmer 
and the need for lighter wools is

over, these can be packed away. By
surfing little by little you can sandwich 
these jobs into the regular
housework routine.
Or, you may prefer to store as you
spring-clean, taking one room at a
time, and packing winter clothes
from closets and bureau drawers as
you clean and spray. Either way, it
pays to label and list as you go
however good your memory is.

CAPITAL SPOTLIGHT
Racial segregation hit a new low
in Washington the other day when
a group of blind children from the
New York Institute for the Education 
of the Blind came here to
sing, at the White House among
Other places. There were ten colored 
children, in the two busloads—
six girls and four boys.
Dr. Merle E. Frampton, in charge
of the group, was unable to find a
single hotel willing to accommodate 
the whole group. So, the
white ones were housed at the
Roosevelt, and the colored ones at

the Dunbar.
Welker Underdown, the Dunbar
manager, said as much, as the hotel
wants business, it doesn't want it at
the price of racial segregation. The
Dunbar would have accommodated
the whole group if reservations had
been made in time.
Incidentally, the group of business
and professional men who are sponsoring 
a dinner for Jesse Mitchell,
the banker, are being silly. Everyone 
of them, except possibly one, is
dependent upon colored patronage
for their livelihood, but the $10-aplate 
dinner is being given at the

Willard.
The Tropical Dining Room in the
Dunbar, a first-class place, wasn't
even asked to bid on the dinner,
Owners of the Tropical are. Albert
Thompson of Walthom Tailors, W.
Burdett Hockaday of the Twelfth
Street YMCA, and Welker Underdown. 

Aside to Walter White, NAACP
secretary: How about asking Senator 
Matt Neely, Democrat, of West
Virginia, chairman of the Senate
District of Columbia Committee, to
withdraw his name from sponsorship, 
of the Humphrey FEPC bill?
How will it sound for him to ask
some industrial to cease and desist
from discriminating against workers 
because of race or color when
the Loyal Order of Moose, in Which
Neely is a big shot — he's a past
Supreme Governor of the order —
bars colored persons from membership? 

Mooseheart, the "Child city" in
Illinois, where the Moose care for
dependent children of decreased
members, Moosehaven, near Jacksonville 
(Florida) where aged dependent 
men and women of the
Moose fraternity are given a haven,
are both lily white.
Every application for membership
in the Moose requires a certificate

that the applicant is "of sound mind
and body, of the white race and a
believer in a Supreme Being."

 PARSON
by ALICE ROSS COLUER


A MOMENT later a step was
heard on the gravel path leading
to the front entrance.
"It's, some stranger," said Constance. 
"I don't recognize his
voice—and Dad is taking him into
the front room. Thank goodness,
that looks all right."
"It always does."
"Yes. It's the one place. I only
wish We bad more antiques.
Enough for the whole house."
Anne went without answering to
the mantel above the corner fireplace 
and found a match. Then,
feeling in the pocket of her red
linen jacket, she drew out a package 
of cigarets and, not looking
at her mother, lit one.
"Anne, do you—I mean—" Constance 
stopped.
The girl turned. Her face, usually 
aglow and vivid, was blank
now and calm, as was her voice.
But her brown eyes, so like her
mother's, were burning.
"Are you trying to say that a
minister's daughter ought not to
smoke? But you see I decided
something while I was at college.
I'm myself, too. I'm as much myself 
as I am a minister's daughter.
In fact, maybe more. So I'm going 
to be myself. I can't stay here
any other way."
The soft voice went on. There
was a note of inexorability in it
that Constance had never heard
before.
"Duck, I want to tell you something. 
I am never, never going to
marry a minister! Or any other
kind of public servant. I can't bear
the thought. I'm fed up! You don't
have any freedom. You don't have
any money. You scrape and pinch
and maneuver, and you can't—you
have to—oh! you're simply a slave
to what people may say or think
of you! That's all you are Simply
a slave."
She stood there, a stranger to
her mother in her unequivocal resection 
of established values and
habits and ways of thought. Then
she began speaking again, desperation 
in her tone now.
"I might as well say it all. It's
been on my mind. I don't want to
have to go to church every Sunday

this year. And I dont want to
teach a Sunday School class. And
I don't want to Join the Youth
Group—" She broke off abruptly
and flung her cigaret into the
empty grate with a defeated gesture. 
"Oh, all this will bother Dad
terribly, won't it? It win hurt him.
Because people win talk. Busybodies. 
And I don't want to hurt
him. I wouldn't' hart him for
world's." She stopped, her eyes
filling with slow tears. "But whatever, 
am I going to do?"
Constance said quietly, "Why
don't you talk it over with him?
He'll understand; you know he
will. Hell find some middle way
for you—"
Then Constance went out quickly 
into the large square hall where
her husband stood, at his side an
unknown young man who had,
under heavy black brows, the most
direct, most compelling dark blue
eyes she bad ever seen. For the
rest, he was tall and broad with a
serious, somber face. An interesting 
face, she thought.
"This is Mr, Kent, Constance.
Donald Kent. He says be is looking 
for a couple by the name of
Moore Who live on our street I
never heard of any Moores in this
section of town, but I told him if
there were any you would know."
"Why, yes!" Constance moved
forward smilingly. "Of course.
The Moores are our next-door
neighbors, Barth. On the north
side. They moved in before noon
today while you were in New
York."
"Good gracious! Why don't you
tell me these things! All the weeks
We've been wondering about our
new neighbors, and now they've
slipped in without my knowing."
"I'm sorry." Constance saw the
stranger's glance stray over her
own bead to rest on Anne behind
her. "You were late getting home
and then Mrs. Melick telephoned
and after that Anne came, so I
simply forgot... You are a friend
of the Moores?" she went on
pleasantly.
He brought his gaze back to
Meet hers, and she saw that a
flame had been lit in their dark
blueness.
"Mrs.. Moore is my sister," he
told her. "And I'm going to live
here. I'm the new teacher in the
social studies department of your
high school My job starts in September." 

"So!" Her hand went out to him
in cordial welcome. "How nice to
meet you! Mr. Kent, this is my
daughter."
She turned, gestured toward

Anne who, with arms folded and
head back, was leaning nonchalantly 
against the study doorway.
Donald started forward but was
stopped by Anne's voice, cool and
remote.
"How do you do."
"Well!" The Parson, brisk and
friendly, filled in the small icy instant 
"I'm glad we're to be neighbors, 
I'm glad you're to stay with
us. Social studies. That's a very
important subject these days. I'm
interested in it. Some time when
you have the leisure I'd like to
know just how you're going to
approach it. How you expect to
put over into young minds the
realization—"
"Barth," Constance interjected
gently.
"Yes! Yes!" Be nodded to Constance. 
"My wife is afraid I'm
going to deliver a sermon to you
on the subject right now. But I'm
not, I am interested, though.
Social relations. Man's relations to
man. It's the most important
thing in the world today."
Kent turned toward Barth, his
face kindling. "That's what I
think, too, sir." He hesitated, not
wanting to prevaricate too much
in his carefully evolved self-introduction. 
"I wonder—are you sure
it's the house next door, Mrs. Atwood? 
It's dark over there. No
one seems to be at home. Yet I
know I am expected."
"Yes, I'm sure." Mrs. Atwood
answered. "However now that I
think about it, I did see their car
pull out an hour or so ago. Perhaps 
they went somewhere foe
dinner? And if they have—well,
why don't you just wait here until
they, return? By the way, have
you had any dinner yourself?"
He gave her a sudden, brilliant,
disarming smile. "Well, no, I
haven't But I thought I would
just find my way downtown where
there must be a diner—"
"A diner! My dear boy, don't
you realize we can offer you the
finest clam chawder made outside
of New England? Or within it,
either, for that matter. I'll get
another bowl or soup for this
young man. Then, Mr. Kent, while
we're eating we can, perhaps, discuss 
a little this business of teaching. 
Or perhaps I 'should say art
of teaching?"
Anne followed her mother into
the study. She whispered, "I'm
going to slip away after a few
minutes He didn't come to see me
And I want to unpack my trunk
I'm so glad it got here before I
did. Besides, I'm tired."

"My wife is afraid I'm
going to deliver a sermon to you
on the subject right now. But I'm
not, I am interested, though.
Social relations. Man's relations to
man. It's the most important
thing in the world today."
Kent turned toward Barth, his
face kindling. "That's what I
think, too, sir." He hesitated, not
wanting to prevaricate too much
in his carefully evolved self-introduction. 
"I wonder—are you sure
it's the house next door, Mrs. Atwood? 
It's dark over there. No
one seems to be at home. Yet I
know I am expected."
"Yes, I'm sure." Mrs. Atwood
answered. "However now that I
think about it, I did see their car
pull out an hour or so ago. Perhaps 
they went somewhere foe
dinner? And if they have—well,
why don't you just wait here until
they, return? By the way, have
you had any dinner yourself?"
He gave her a sudden, brilliant,
disarming smile. "Well, no, I
haven't But I thought I would
just find my way downtown where
there must be a diner—"
"A diner! My dear boy, don't
you realize we can offer you the
finest clam chawder made outside
of New England? Or within it,
either, for that matter. I'll get
another bowl or soup for this
young man. Then, Mr. Kent, while
we're eating we can, perhaps, discuss 
a little this business of teaching. 
Or perhaps I 'should say art
of teaching?"
Anne followed her mother into
the study. She whispered, "I'm
going to slip away after a few
minutes He didn't come to see me
And I want to unpack my trunk
I'm so glad it got here before I
did. Besides, I'm tired."


CHAPTER FOUR
by ALICE ROSS COLUER


A MOMENT later a step was
heard on the gravel path leading
to the front entrance.
"It's, some stranger," said Constance. 
"I don't recognize his
voice—and Dad is taking him into
the front room. Thank goodness,
that looks all right."
"It always does."
"Yes. It's the one place. I only
wish We bad more antiques.
Enough for the whole house."
Anne went without answering to
the mantel above the corner fireplace 
and found a match. Then,
feeling in the pocket of her red
linen jacket, she drew out a package 
of cigarets and, not looking
at her mother, lit one.
"Anne, do you—I mean—" Constance 
stopped.
The girl turned. Her face, usually 
aglow and vivid, was blank
now and calm, as was her voice.
But her brown eyes, so like her
mother's, were burning.
"Are you trying to say that a
minister's daughter ought not to
smoke? But you see I decided
something while I was at college.
I'm myself, too. I'm as much myself 
as I am a minister's daughter.
In fact, maybe more. So I'm going 
to be myself. I can't stay here
any other way."
The soft voice went on. There
was a note of inexorability in it
that Constance had never heard
before.
"Duck, I want to tell you something. 
I am never, never going to
marry a minister! Or any other
kind of public servant. I can't bear
the thought. I'm fed up! You don't
have any freedom. You don't have
any money. You scrape and pinch
and maneuver, and you can't—you
have to—oh! you're simply a slave
to what people may say or think
of you! That's all you are Simply
a slave."
She stood there, a stranger to
her mother in her unequivocal resection 
of established values and
habits and ways of thought. Then
she began speaking again, desperation 
in her tone now.
"I might as well say it all. It's
been on my mind. I don't want to
have to go to church every Sunday

this year. And I dont want to
teach a Sunday School class. And
I don't want to Join the Youth
Group—" She broke off abruptly
and flung her cigaret into the
empty grate with a defeated gesture. 
"Oh, all this will bother Dad
terribly, won't it? It win hurt him.
Because people win talk. Busybodies. 
And I don't want to hurt
him. I wouldn't' hart him for
world's." She stopped, her eyes
filling with slow tears. "But whatever, 
am I going to do?"
Constance said quietly, "Why
don't you talk it over with him?
He'll understand; you know he
will. Hell find some middle way
for you—"
Then Constance went out quickly 
into the large square hall where
her husband stood, at his side an
unknown young man who had,
under heavy black brows, the most
direct, most compelling dark blue
eyes she bad ever seen. For the
rest, he was tall and broad with a
serious, somber face. An interesting 
face, she thought.
"This is Mr, Kent, Constance.
Donald Kent. He says be is looking 
for a couple by the name of
Moore Who live on our street I
never heard of any Moores in this
section of town, but I told him if
there were any you would know."
"Why, yes!" Constance moved
forward smilingly. "Of course.
The Moores are our next-door
neighbors, Barth. On the north
side. They moved in before noon
today while you were in New
York."
"Good gracious! Why don't you
tell me these things! All the weeks
We've been wondering about our
new neighbors, and now they've
slipped in without my knowing."
"I'm sorry." Constance saw the
stranger's glance stray over her
own bead to rest on Anne behind
her. "You were late getting home
and then Mrs. Melick telephoned
and after that Anne came, so I
simply forgot... You are a friend
of the Moores?" she went on
pleasantly.
He brought his gaze back to
Meet hers, and she saw that a
flame had been lit in their dark
blueness.
"Mrs.. Moore is my sister," he
told her. "And I'm going to live
here. I'm the new teacher in the
social studies department of your
high school My job starts in September." 

"So!" Her hand went out to him
in cordial welcome. "How nice to
meet you! Mr. Kent, this is my
daughter."
She turned, gestured toward

Anne who, with arms folded and
head back, was leaning nonchalantly 
against the study doorway.
Donald started forward but was
stopped by Anne's voice, cool and
remote.
"How do you do."
"Well!" The Parson, brisk and
friendly, filled in the small icy instant 
"I'm glad we're to be neighbors, 
I'm glad you're to stay with
us. Social studies. That's a very
important subject these days. I'm
interested in it. Some time when
you have the leisure I'd like to
know just how you're going to
approach it. How you expect to
put over into young minds the
realization—"
"Barth," Constance interjected
gently.
"Yes! Yes!" Be nodded to Constance. 
"My wife is afraid I'm
going to deliver a sermon to you
on the subject right now. But I'm
not, I am interested, though.
Social relations. Man's relations to
man. It's the most important
thing in the world today."
Kent turned toward Barth, his
face kindling. "That's what I
think, too, sir." He hesitated, not
wanting to prevaricate too much
in his carefully evolved self-introduction. 
"I wonder—are you sure

"Yes, I'm sure." Mrs. Atwood

K. C. Monarchs Renew Feud
With Clowns On May 4th
Those arch-rivals of the Negro
American League, the Indianoplis
Clowns and the Kansas City Monarchs, 
are slated to resume their
annual feud next Sunday afternoon,
May 4, at Blues Stadium, Kansas
City. In addition to the topnotch
baseball that is played when these
rivals clash, the fans of Missouri
and Kansas will not only see a
great doubleheader, but also the
rollicking new diamond fun-show
for which the Clowns, have become
nationally famous.

Syd Pollock, owner and general
manager of the Clowns, announced
this week that his club will play the
Camp Breckinridge team, composed
of major and minor league stars,
composed of major and minor league 
stars now in the service and
representing the 101st "Airborne Division 
at the Matter's camp on Saturday 
afternoon, May 10, the day
prior to the opening of the official
NAL season. In their first League
encounter the Fun makers will
tackle the Philadelphia Stars at
Sulphur Dell, Nashville, with a

twinbill on Sunday, May 11th.

The injury jinx struck the Funmakers 
for the first time during the
past week with two receivers sidelined 
by smashed fingers from foul
tips. Piggy, Sands and Haywood
were both injured, but expect to be
back in the lineup shortly. Utility
man Curtis Hardaway of Columbus,
Ga., stepped into the breach behind
the plate and filled in. Another injured 
player was hurler John Marvary, 
who chashed into a dugout
and knocked out several teeth and
lacerated his mouth. Marvary is expected 
to be sidelined for at least
10 days.
