Atlanta, Ga.—The work of Aaron
W. Douglas, colored artist who was
formerly a resident of Chattanooga,
was the unexpected subject of a radio
talk, delivered Monday over WSB, the
Atlanta Journal station, by W. L.
Hastings, publicity man of the Bilt-
more Hotel, the city’s most exclusive
guest house.
Starting with the statement, “In
Chicago the other day I saw some-
thing that possibly will be of interest
to Southern people." Mr. Hastings
told how the old Sherman House, re-
modeling its famous College Inn room
at a cost of $75,000, had used for its
decorations a series of drawings by
Douglas, illustrating the “Birth of the
Blues.” This is how it came about,
according to Mr. Hastings:
“An official of the Sherman House,
who had made a hobby of collecting
rare prints, cams across some of
Aaron Douglas’ work. He was so im-
pressed by its genius that- he engag-
ed the artist to do a series of de-
signs for the new College Inn. These
drawings, about two feet high, were
worked out by the artist in black and
white. They were then enlarged pho-
tographically to a height of about 8
feet, transfered to the walls, and col-
ored by skilled decorators." •
The work, according to Mr. Hast-
ings, is exceptionally good, as of
course it had to be. Concluding his
broadcast, Mr. Hastings said, “I
think the people of this section will
be interested in knowing of the
prominence the Sherman House has
bestowed upon the work of a South-
ern Negro.”

New York City.—(ANP)—News
dispatches from the capital of Abys-
sinia tell of the launching of an ex-
tensive building program, including
the construction of a $20,000,000 dam
across the Blue Nile, where it emerg-
es from Lake Tsana, and a group of
public buildings. The costruction of
the dam will be by an American com-
pany.
MEN JAILED FOR SELLING
“MOONSHINING PERMITS”
Danville, Ill.—(ANP)—Two white
men, James Doolin and Carmel Smith.
Buckroe Beach, Va.—(ANP)— Ma-
jor R. R. Wright of Philadelphia, was
unanimously reelected president of
the National Negro Bankers Associa-
tion at the closing session of the two-
day meeting held here at the Bay-
shore Hotel.
Problems faced by the bankers and
ways and means of helping stimulate
business were among the principal
subjects discussed by the delegates
and visiting white bankers. One of
the outstanding features of the con-
vention was the appointment of a
committee, headed by Mrs. Maggie
L. Walker, president of the St Luke
Saving Bank, Richmond, Virginia, and
Anthony Overton, president of the
Douglass National Bank, Chicago, to
work out a plan for listing stocks and
securities of Negro companies.
Other officers named were Maggie
L. Walker of Richmond, vice-presi-
dent; Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville,
Tenn., vice-president; Walter S. Car-
ter of Washington, vice-president; C.
C. Spaulding of Durham, N. C., vice-
president and treasurer, and M. C.
Martin of Danville, secretary. Mem-
bers of the executive committee are:
J. 0. Blanton of Louisville, Ky.; Wil-
liam Rick of Norfolk; A. T. Walden
of Atlanta, Ga.; Anthony Overton
of Chicago, and Wilson Lovett of Chi-
cago.
Greetings were received by the con-
vention from Governor Pollard and
Senator Carter Glass.
ATLANTA MAYOR IN
FIGHT TO FINISH
ON BLACKSHIRTS
Atlanta, Ga.—(INS)—U pon the
recommendation of the Fulton County
grand jury, Mayor I. N. Ragsdale has
denied the petition of the Black Shirts
to stage a parade on the streets of
Atlanta. In its letter to the mayor
urging that the request to conduct
the parade be denied the grand jury
stated that the Black Shirts organiza-
tion, because of its obvious purpose
to stir up racial animosities and un-
rest, had no place in the life of the
city.
The Black Shirts were organised
here recently for the express and only
purpose of intimidating, terrorizing
and forcing Negroes out of their jobs.

FIVE MINUTE WAY TO SOFT, ,255557 HAIR
Los Angeles, Cal.—(ANP)— Recent
initiation of 12 aviators into the Los
Angeles Police Department with ap-
propriate exercises and presentation
of badges at the municipal airport, t
brings to the minds of local citizens '
that only successful local Negro pilot
and the first flying cop of any race
in the local department is in the coun-
ty jail where for several months he
has been waiting for action by the ap-
pelate board.
This is Maceo B. Sheffield, who 4
years ago completed his flying lea-
sons, received his license and pur-
chased a plane. With it he gave ex-
hibitions at local public affairs held
by colored citizens. A fearless, re-
sourceful flyer, he only had one mis-
hap which occurred when taking off
over a small rough, tree-surroundeda
space, in Watts on the occasion "of
the ground breaking for the Heflin
furniture factory. Zooming up to
gain quick altitude and avoid the
trees, crowd and power wires, he turn-
ed completely over, his ship falling on
its back. He miraculously escaped
with a few scratches.
Ace Foreman, now dead, by drown-
ing, who attempted a cross-continent-
al flight in 1927, received coaching
from Sheffield and frequently ac-
companied him on his flights.
Sheffield’s greatest distinction
came over a year ago, when over a
long list of white applicants he was
detailed to pilot a municipal ship con-
veying photographers making an of-
ficial air survey of Los Angeles, Lee
Angeles County and San Perdo Har-
bor.
Through the dangerous air currents
that rise from the tall downtown
buildings, he flew the ship low over
the streets many times seeming as if
he would smash against a roof or
make an unhearalded entry into some-
one’s office window.
The fear held by the underworld
for him made him many enemies and
is said to have caused his downfall.
During a cleanup in police circles a
year ago, a number of officers and
city officials were accussed of extor-
tion and bribe taking. Sheffield was
among those accused, tried and found
guilty. Since then, most of the oth-
ers have been released, but Sheffield
is said by many to have been made
the goat.
Nevertheless, his lawyers took an
appeal and sympathy has begun to
turn towards him. He still has a good
chance for freedom when the case
goes to the high tribunal. ‘ 9
incarceration, the former lieutenant,
who is well educated, has been writ-
ing the memoirs of his adventurous
career for a local weekly.
