ATWOOD SPEAKS TO COLLEGE FACULTY AND STUDENTS Points To The Hurdle Which Must Be Overlept By Those Who Prepare To Grapple With Problems Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 27.--Fresh from a summer's study at the University of Chicago, President Rufus B. Atwood delivered an incisive address to the first assembly of students and faculty in Hume Hall of Kentucky State College. In tones almost conversational Dr. Atwood pointed out the academic hurdle which must be overlept by those who would prepare themselves to grapple with the problems of a changing civilization. Said the president to the three hundred and sixty-two students: "....whether we believe in a society that is socially planned by ourselves, it matters not; a changed pattern is being formed...... Students who are attending college today face situations which allow opportunity for those who will sharpen their intellects to attack these problems. The keen minds directing our civilization of tomorrow are being sharpened in our colleges today." Preceding these words a general [welcome?] was extended returned student body and faculty. Many of the latter have recently returned from gradutae study; Prof. Norris has completed all requirements for the Ph. D. at Cornell; the Dean of Women, A. J. Heartwell, took special courses in personal direction at Columbia; Prof. Gladys M. Jamieson attended important conferences which matriculating at Northwestern; Prof. H. B. Crouch has moved several notches nearer the Doctorate by his outstanding researches in parasitic protozoa. Prof J. J. Mark is on leave at present.

Nix of the Kansas State College of Agricultural and Applied Science, has been added to the Department of Home Economics. Miss A. L.

REPUBLICAN CLUB HOLDS MEETING The headquarters of the Ladies Loyal Republican Club at 532 S. 6th Street were taxed to capacity Wednesday night when a meeting was called by the officials of the club for the purpose of putting things in shape for the November election.

He has written $30,000 of new business in 18 working days, September 1 to September 21. This achievement, as stated by Mr. Ragland, was made possible by two things; first the merited confidence which the citizens of Louisville have in the financial stability and sound management of the Atlanta Life; second, the growing realization by the public, that life insurance offers the safest and surest means of covering present needs and future responsibilities. The company must be proud of this accomplishment and Mr. Ragland is particularly anxious that the people of Louisville know of his personal appreciation of their cooperation. J. Wesley Jones Is P.O.

Negro Stars Of Big League Class Many Could Make Grade, Says Rollow Wilson In Crisis Satchell Page Equals "Dizzy" Dean; Mathewson Liked Mendez New York, Sept. 27 - With the 1934 World's Series only a few days away, the article by W. Rollo Wilson, veteran sports writer, Czar of Negro baseball and editor of the Philadelphia Independent, in the October Crisis entitled "They Could Make the Big Leagues" is especially timely. Declaring that Negro baseball players have been "denied their place in the baseball sun because of racial prejudice," Mr. Wilson says that "Many of the men I have seen playing the game in the years agone and during the current season might have been big league stars had they been given the chance," and cites the fact that white fans will always turn out in large numbers when Negro teams play. "Here in Philadelphia," he writes, "you will find hundreds of white fans who will tell you that they prefer seeing colored league games to going to watch either the A's or the Phils." "Satchell" Paige Equals Dizzy Dean The writer asserts that "Satchell" Paige, the star Negro hurler, is the equal of Dizzy Dean or Rube Waddell; that Jim Bel, the demon Negro outfielder of the Pittsburgh Crawfords, ahs been called "the fastest man in baseball" by major league stars; that Babe Ruth has never driven a ball farther than Josh Gibson. Ted Trent of the Chicago Americans is another pitcher whom Wilson thinks out to be in the big leagues. Buck Leonard of the Homestead Grays hits as steadily as Jimmy Foxx and Lou Gehrig. Wilson quotes Christy Mathewson as once saying that he would sign Joe Mendez for the Giants if it were possible, while Oscar Charleston was once hailed by white sports critics as the superior of Max Carey. Among the other Negro players Mr. Wilson quotes as major league material are John Henry Lloyd, Louis Santop, Dick Redding, Dave Brown, Nip WInters, Phil Cockrell, Joe Williams, Rube Foster and many others whom he feels 'would be valuable decorations in any American or National League ballyard." BISHOP JONES DELIVERS STIRRING SERMON; MRS. ELLEN TAYLOR SPEAKS By William H. Ferris Last Sunday was Mother's Day at Jacob Street A. M. E. Zion Tabernacle, of which Rev. A. A. Crooks is the scholarly and eloquent pastor. The seating capacity of the church was almost taxed to the limit Sunday morning. Many children came from the Kentucky Home Society. Mrs. Mary Spradling served as mistress of ceremonies. The choir, led by Mrs. Lizzie Evans Pierce, sang superbly. Mrs. Lydia Kelly read the Scriptures. Mrs. Courtney Brown made the invocation. Mrs. Ellen Taylor, principal of the Normal School, read a very enlightening paper. She paid a high tribute to the women of the Jacob Street Tabernacle and other churches. She said, "The greatest women in the world are not those whom the world praises most but the humble, quiet missionaries, who go out into the alleys and by ways and bring children into the Sunday School and church. What the child sees and hears make a vital impression upon him in his tender susceptible years. Economic conditions have forced the women to remain away from home and the child is subject to the influence of the streets and movies. The movies are having a great influence upon the children. The parents ought to know the type of pictures their children are seeing. If the movies advertise, the church ought to go out and bring [in?] the children." Following Mrs. [Taylor's?] speech, Mrs. K. D. Williams [sang?] "Father in Heaven Above. Mrs. A. A. Crooke then [introduced?] Rt. Rev. E. D. W. Jones of [Washington?], D. C., the president [illegible] Seventh [Episcopal?] [Distrist?].
