. JUDGE INSTRUCTS SCOTTSBORD JURY Cites “Strong Presumption Woman Did Not Yield” in Charge. By the Associated Press, DECATUR, Ala, July 15—The ninth jury in six years to sit in judg- ment of the “Scottsboro case” was Instructed today by Judge W. W. Cal- lahan in the laws it must consider in determining the fate of Clarence Nor- ris, one of nine colored youths charged with attacking two white women. ‘The jury had before it a demand from the State for the death of Norris, twice condemned and as many times saved by the United States Supreme Court. Judge Callahan informed the jury: “This suit is not Victoria Price vs. Clarence Norris, but the State of Ala- bama vs. Clarence Norris. “Victoria Price has no more to do with this case than any other witness. 8he was called and brought here by the State to testify for the State.” The judge also said “Where the woman 13 white, there is a strong pre- sumption under the law that she did not yield to the advances of a Negro.” Pighting for the defendant's life, Bamuel S. Leibowitz, New York chief of defense counsel, accused Mrs. Victoria Price of “framing this rape story,” charging in his closing argu- ment that she “concocted this tale 80 the authorities would forget to question her about what she and Ruby Bates were doing on that train, and what they had been doing in Chattanooga.” Alabama’s assistant attorney gen- eral, Thomas S. Lawson, asked death for Norris as “a warning to other rapists and a protection for the womanhood of this State.” Mrs. Price, textile mill worker, identified Norris from the witness stand as one of the youths she said attacked her. Norris was the first of nine to face judgment in the new trials of the “Scottsboro case.” Ruby Bates was a complaining wit- mess at the first trial, but later re- pudiated her story as a *“frame up” and was not called in this trial, o Flyers (Continued From First Page.)

Instruments Sent Away. That the flight will qualify as a tecord under the rules of the Inter- national Aeronautical Federation was Indicated by Maj. Edison E. Mou- ton, whose committee inspected and found unbroken the seals on the three barographs and the gasoline tank. Mouton said he was sending the in- . struments and essential information to the National Aeronautical Associa- ¢ tion in Washington. Maj. Mouton praised the design, primary construction and motor of the giant craft. But said the sec- ondary construction, including the fabric was poor. “We were astounded, however, when we opened the motor cowl and #aw not a drop of oil,” he said. “The motor was as clean as if it had just been wiped.” Maj. Mouton said he definitely es- tablished the flying time from Mos- eow to San Jacinto at 62 hours 17 minutes, and that he was submitting it as such for official ratification. The distance, including confused flying through California fog, was approxi- mately 6,700 miles. 62 Hours 17 Minutes In Air. “The flyers told me they left from the air fleld near Moscow at 9:23 Greenwich time, July 12, and landed At 2:40 Greenwich time, at San Ja- sinto, and from those times I have reckoned the flight at 62 hours 17 minutes.” Dispatches regarding the take-off ;ve it at 4:22 pm.

How to Reduce Skidding. Reducing the pressure in your tires to 25 pounds will help greatly to re- duce skidding in slippery weather. Many skillfui drivers get better control when streets are slippery by driving with one foot on the accelerator and the other on the pedal brake. The ac- celerator is then gently pressed, while the brakes are applied. Try this method some time, but practice it first. I T seems that nothing else matters very much when love is con- D. C., THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1937 MORE CHILDREN 10 HEALTH CAMP Three Tubercular Young Aided by Gifts to Dis-- trict Fund. ‘Three more tubercular children to- day were given & new chance for life by additional contributions to the Dis- trict Tuberculosis Association’s health camp fund. A check for $160 from the Central Business Men's Association will pro- vide for the care of two of the chil- dren during the Summer at the camp on Bald Eagle Hill. Other donations received today will finance the life- giving treatment for the third child, with $39 remaining toward the $80 necessary to care for another. Money Given Mrs. Grant. ‘The Central Business Men's Asso- ciation contribution, raised through a recent moonlight cruise down the Potomac, was presented to Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, managing director of the Tuberculosis Association, at a lunch- eon meeting at the Harrington Hotel. A steady flow of donations since the health camp opened at half capacity on Tuesday of last week reached a total of $1,166 today, Mrs. Grant said. This enables the camp to care for 13 youngsters in addition to the 60 pro- vided for in the association's limited budget. The camp has facilities for 120 children, leaving room for 47 more. Two Guests at Luncheon. ‘The eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth additional children, members of the same family, were taken to the camp today. The two benefitting from the Central Business Men's Association gift were guests at the luncheon.

Let it boil slowly over a slow fire for one- fourth of an hour—sweeten it to your palate and put in a spoonful of rose- water and & spoonful of orange water.” ‘Then the book advised: “You may eat it with cream or wine.
