THE JOYEUX BRIDGE CLUB
The second annual Contract Bridge
Tournament held at the Masonic Hall,
February 27, 28 and March 1, was a
very successful affair from the stand
point of attendance and enthusiasm.
Fifteen tables were in constant play
during the tournament and by rules
adopted, so as to give each an oppor
tunity to display all of his best
“Bridge” abi! ty five changes were re
quired to complete an evening contest.
Mr. Worthington Williams, acting
as official “Referee”, outlined the
rules of play and scoring in a very
simple and a very understandable way,
Wednesday night, after which the
tournament proceeded to a compli
nyentary and dignified conclusion.
The tournament “Classic” winners
went to the team of Miss Dolores
Cousins and Mr. Edd e Craig, both
of 2320 No. 27th Street, with a score
of 6270 played in ten changes. Tour
nament high score was won by Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Heidelberg with a score
of 7110. This same team won the
total high score for Wednesday night.
Thursday night high score winners
were Emmet Dennis and V- Harris, of
2215 Miami Street, with a score of
6510.
The “runners up” for the grand
prize were Mr. Sam Wead, 2434 Grant
Street and Mr. A. J. Leffall, 2874 Bin
ney Street, scoring 2840
This tournament is conducted in the
interest of those who love the game,
and it is not the purpose of the Joy
eux Bi'.dge Club to conduct this an
nual classic for profit taking, but
rather for the inducement it may of
fer to others who want to try their
skill in tournament play, and to that
end this tournament was dedicated
hoping that when the next affair of
this club is held there will be a re
turn of many and more “Better Bridge
Players.”

day night in the club rooms at 2417

THE “Y” PLAYERS
By Lloyd L. Lee
The “Y” Players, who have been or
ganized for the past three years, held
a recent election of officers. Mrs.
Madoline Sterling was chosen for the
presidency; Miss Catherine Williams
was elected vice-president. The or
ganization selected Miss Lavinia Scott
for its secretary and Mr. Alvin Good
win for the office of treasurer. Mr.
Lloyd L. Lee was elected reporter. It
has been discerned doubtless by the
public that the purpose of the “Y”
Players is the stimulation of interest
and the development of technique
among the Negro youth in the art of
the drama. The acclamation accorded
the Players at their third annual pro
duction of plays of Negro life last
month was a proof of the proximity to
which they fulfilled their purpose- The
plays were reproduced at St. John’s
A. M. E. Church last Friday, March
15, and were well received.
Miss Williams is also chairman of
the program committee and has de
veloped a thorough and complete out
line of study for the Players covering
approximately all the techniques of
the drama- Each week two members
are assigned a certain phase of the
drama to demonstrate to the Players
at the weekly meetings on Tuesdays.
Last Tuesday character acting was
studied.
A fortnight ago the “Y” Players
were delightfully entertained by the
House Committee of the Northside
Y. W. C- A. for their efforts in their
last production.

FRAMED ON ATTACK
CHARGE— NARROWLY
ESCAPES LYNCHING
Linden, Texas—CNA—Blackie
Jackson 21 year-old transient nar
rowly escaped lynching at the
^ands of two different mobs when
he was transferred from Atlanta
to jail here. Jackson was framed
on a charge of attack on a white
school girl.
The youth, found hiding from
the lynch mob under the porch
of a house in Atlanta, was arrest
ed and taken to the girl’s home
for identification. There he was
encountered by a mob of 50 men,
mostly friends and relatives of the
girl. When they demanded cus
tody of the youth, Chy Marshall
Homer Carter hurriedly rushed
him to Linden, Texas, for safe
keeping.
La er in the night a lynch mob
of about 150 men formed at a
local drug s ore. But it dispersed
when it learned that Jackson had
been rushed to another jail, in
another town.
Linden is located in the East
Texas lynch area of ;he state,
where the life of a,Negro is count
ed as nothing. One lynching oc
eured in this section in November
of 1933 when David Gregory was
brutally killed, and another lynch
ing occured in April, 1934 when
Son Griggs was lynched for “as
sociating with a white woman.”
Pas. history of the brutality
and lynching accorded the Negro
people of this section puts Texas
far up on the list.

FALLING HAIR—Its Preventive and
Cure
In our article of last week we point
ed out the importance of the sebac-'
eous gland, the Papilla and Arrector
muscles in obtaining a healthy head
of hair. (We use the word ‘healthy’
here instead of ‘beautiful’ because no
head of hair, which is not healthy, is
beautiful.)
For ordinary conditions of falling
hair in which there are no objective
symptoms, the use of the scalp mas
sage, the application of various anti
septics and electricity in its several
forms will be found quite sufficient to
restore the scalp to normal conditions
and improve the growth of the hair, i
Of course, in every instance, these
treatments must be taken for some
time after improvement is manifest
ed. A single treatment taken when
the opportunity offers or some one
suggests it is of no avail. The patron
must agree to a course of treatments,
c op ed with intelligent use cf the
preparations at home.
The scalp treatment that agrees
with the greatest number of condi
ti ons is known as the Hot Oil Treat
ment because the treatment is applied
to the scalp warm.
The only scientific way to give a
hair and scalp treatment is with an
electric steamer. With this you get
controlled steam. We get very little
bem fit from the old hot towel mehod.
Steam, as we know, goes up from
r- hot towel and only wet heat (not
steam) Is applied to the head. And,
too, it is impossible to massage under
a hot towel.
1 be electric steamer controls the
steam, forces it down so that it pene
trates all the pores.
If your hair is falling why not make
an appointment now for a hot oil
treatment w.th the electric steamer.
In his shop we have the Arnao
Steamer. We guarantee results.

Congress considers a Hill
to Transfer Regulatory
Control to Washington
“Congress shall make no law abridging ‘the right of
the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the
government foe a redress of grievances.’
"This is the language of the Constitution of the
United States.
“The question business executives may have before
them soon is this: what sort of management is it
which permits an attack to be made on the property
of the owners, the stockholders, without immediate
ly petitioning for a redress of grievances?
“Business executives who fail to carry their plea to
s the public under such circumstances are derelict in
their duty and, indeed, faithless to the American tra
dition which makes the right of petition the very
cornerstone of our democracy.”

A BILL known as "The Public Utility Act ol
1935” is now in Congress. If passed, it will
affect every user of electricity in Omaha.
This bill provides for Federal regulation, direo*
tion and control of the electric light and power in*
dustry. Improperly called '“the holding company
bill, it more vitally affects the public interest by
the fact that it also applies to 90% OF THE LO
CAL OPERATING COMPANIES.
Omaha’s Electric Service
Regulated from Washington
If this bill is passed, it will place the con
trol of YOUR electric service in the hands
of the Federal Power Commission in Wash
ington, D. C.
Your City Council will virtually be sup
erseded in its regulation Of the business of
this Company.
In place of your city government, a gig
antic Federal bureau will be set up in the
nation’s capital to regulate your electric
rates. In place of men who are conversant
with the problems of their home commun
ity, those who will control the cost of your
electric service will be located thousands of
niiles from Omaha.
Holding Companies Have
Helped Reduce Omaha’s Rates
The bill aims to ABOLISH electric util
ity holding companies. It requires also that
by January 1, 1936, holding companies must
cease to perform the valuable services ren
dered to their subsidiaries. The furnishing
of these services—engineering, financial and
commercial—has been one of the principal
factors in the improvement of service and
continued reduction of rates of which Om
aha is an outstanding example for the na
tion.
Losses to Investors
The destruction of holding companies
must destroy the value of their securities,
with the resulting loss to thousands of in
vestors. The effect will certainly be felt in
all utility financing for years to come, a con
tinued deflationary effect which the nation
should not have to face at this time.
Not Consistent with
“New Deal”
The bill is wholly inconsistent with the
announced purposes of the New Deal. It
creates NO new jobs, it does NOT aid re
covery, it contributes nothing to social se
curity.
With all deference to the President, the
position of this Company is that the bill is
drastic, discriminatory and unspund. With
all deference to the President, this Companv
maintains its constitutional privilege to po
tion against the enactment of the bill. I
urge every electric user to consider cfixalu:
ly ALL the possible effects such a revo'-j
tionary act may have on himself, his hear
and his job or business.
