On Tuesday, Feb. 24, the various candidates for aldermen in the 50 wards, throughout the city, came to a show-down and it was a great day for the politicians and would-be-politicians and would-be-statesmen in all walks of life.

The bills referred to, which were passed by the Democratic Legislature of that state and signed by Governor Sulzer were the Civil Rights Bill, a bill creating a state commission among the colored people of that state to celebrate the "Fifty Years of Freedom" in October in New York City in 1913, and Governor Sulzer, after the members of the Legislature had --- 23—*JOSEPH O.

That regiment was mustered in as the "Fighting Fifteenth," now the 369th Infantry of the National Guard. When I signed the bill I said in a public statement that the officers of the regiment must be of the same race as the members of the regiment, and I predicted that if the time ever came and the regiment was called into action, it would give a good account of itself. It certainly did on the fields of France during the World War, where it made history for the United States of which every citizen in our land is proud.

At the time the regiment was organiezd, which was in 1913, it may have been necessary and expedient to appoint a white colonel for it, but that necessity and that expediency no longer exist. We refuse to believe that Negroes of New York State are less qualified to have a regiment officered entirely by men of their own race than the State of Illinois, whose famous Eighth Regiment has always been commanded by a Negro colonel. "Therefore, in demanding colored officers for New York's colored military unit, we do so because we are determined to keep the door of hope and opportunity open at all cost and because of the inspiration it will bring to our youths.

Even if he doesn't need or care for it himself, it may be a blessing in disguise to his mother, wife, son or daughter. Years often bring startling changes." In conclusion we wish to state with much pleasure that for twenty-five years Governor Sulzer has been one of the warmest and steadfast friends of the editor of this newspaper and like him, we honestly believe, that there is no logical reason on earth why colored soldiers should not be officered from head to foot by members of their own race.

The new home, the former residence of the millionaire brick manufacturer, Thomas Carey, is indeed a palatial one and the mere beauty of it, together with the fact that it took great courage and a strong purpose, coupled with a valiant struggle and hours and hours of time given cheerfully by Miss Lee and her faithful followers to obtain it, should lend an added inspiration to those students who will have the wonderful opportunity of being trained in this school. Miss Lee is to be heartily congratulated. She has not only given to Chicago a wonderful institution, but to the entire country she has given a memorial that cannot fail to become one of the beacon lights in our history. The purpose of this school is clearly set forth in the following quotation. "It is proposed to spread abroad the love for and just valuation of American Negro music and to stimulate a greater public desire for an education in good music as a preparation for the reception of the real American Musical [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie].

We shall resist the discretion of the Negro Spirituals for Ragtime or jazz, and encourage the use of Negro Folk Themes, as a basis for a modern school of American Composition. "We shall encourage the establishment of fully equipped musical departments in schools and colleges, promote the spirit of fellowship, facilitate the exchange of ideas among musicians and promote higher professional standards among musicians through lectures, recitals, conferences and conventions." Is it not then our duty as a race to support this undertaking by giving to our children every advantage offered by this school? With a staff of the most competent teachers and instructors, led by such a leader as Miss Pauline James Lee, there is no doubt that the National University of Music may take its place with the finest schools of music and I predict nothing less than a peerage for this institution. The following program was rendered on that highly delightful occasion: Program by artists of the Chicago Musical College and National University of Music-Burton Thatcher, bariton, Vocal Dept.; Jennie Berhenke, Piano Dept.; Graham Reed, Vocal Dept.; Nell Hunter, Dramatic Soprao; Harrison Emanuel, Violin; Mabel Sanford Lewis, Piano; Quartet, in Negro Spirituals; Judge Albert George, Remarks; Editor Robert S.

He Urged His Hearers to Lay Some Money Down on the Table for Its Benefit, But He Utterly Failed to Lay One Dime Down Himself Hampton, Va.-Miss Harriet S Taylor, teacher of English and public speaking in the Hampton Institute Academy and Teachers College, recently read in Ogden Hall, before a general assembly of workers and students, a paper prepared by Miss Winifred A. Herron, acting librarian, on "Libraries and the Use of Books." The British Museum Library in London has a collection of 2,000,000 books and 56,000 manuscripts. In this Museum there is also a library that was dug out of the ruins of Nineveh—not a library of books, but of tablets of clay from one to twelve inches square such as Professor A. T. Clay recently described as precious finds in Assyrian excavations. Some 10,000 of these tablets have been arranged and catalogued. The public library movement in the United States began in 1732 when Benjamin Franklin established the Philadelphia Library Society. In 1847 Josiah Quincy, mayor of Boston, proposed to the city council and the council passed a request to the Legislature that Boston should be allowed to lay a tax to establish a "free" library. This was probably the beginning of the free public library. It was not until 1887 that the first library school was started. The first school was started in a small way at Columbia and later moved to the State Library at Albany. There are library schools at Pratt Institute, Simmons College, Drexel Institute, the New York Public Library and elsewhere. Growth of Hampton Library When Miss Leonora E. Herron, the present librarian, came to take charge of the Hampton Institute Library in 1891 there were about 5,000 volumes to care for. Sixty-four volumes taken out in a day was the highest record that year. COL. ROBERT S. A AN ITCHING A COME THE GRE MAN IN THE W WHILE ATTEMPT HIS DISCONNE ORATION AT UNIVERSITY OF He Urged His Hearers to the Table for Its Benefit to Lay One Dir Last Friday evening the officers and the music committee in connection with the National University of Music, 4427 Grand Boulevard, threw its doors open to the public, for it was re-opening night in its new quarters. The large parlors and every nook and corner was filled to over-flowing, and fully three hundred people were present on that pleasant occasion, some of them belonging to the white race. The program, as rendered, appears in another column of this newspaper. The presiding chairman, Col. Robert S. Abbott, who is unable to speak five minutes in public on any subject without blowing off a lot of steam and froth in relation to his newspaper, was selected to preside over the gathering. While delivering his eloquent oration he urged the people around and about him to step forward and lay some money down on the table for the benefit of the National University of Music, but Col. Abbott was very careful not to lay one penny himself down on the table for its benefit. As chairman of the meeting, whom some were RED CAPS' CLUB NEWS The regular monthly meeting of the Red Caps' Literary Club will be held on Sunday, March 1, at four P. M. Hon. S. B.

At present there are in the Huntington Library about 200 periodicals, and a collection of perhaps 15,000 mounted pictures. The Malone collection of books on the Negro, which is for reference only, numbers about 2,000 volumes. The private library of Dr. P. B. Brooks, a colored physician of Washington, D. C., was recently purchased for Hampton Institute through the kindness of George Foster Peabody of New York, from the Palmer Fund. The collection numbers about 10,000 books. From this collection some 600 volumes have been taken for the Malone collection. The Huntington Memorial Library at Hampton Institute contains some interesting works of art; namely, the equestrian statue of General Armstrong by the English sculptor E. D. Pegram; a bas-relief of Collis P. Huntington by Bela L. Pratt; portraits of Samuel C. Armstrong, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, George Foster Peabody, E. B. Monroe, C. P. Huntington, and Robert R. Moton; four paintings by the colored artist, H. C. Tanner, "The Banjo Lesson," "The Bagpipe Lesson," "The Lion's Head," and "Return of the Fishermen," painting of "An Indian Head" by Leigh Richmond Miner and a small painting of General Armstrong's grave. This list should also include other busts and pictures. The Library at Hampton Institute is fortunate in possessing two especially old books; the portfolio edition of Shakespeare's plays, which was presented by Miss Julia Lathers and Miss Elizabeth R. Lathers, and an old Dutch Bible, which was presented by Spencer W. Phraner. These works are kept under glass in a case in the upper hall of the library.

Lay Some Money Down on it, But He Utterly Failed me Down Himself foolish enough to believe, that he would write out his own check for at least one thousand dollars and toss it on the table as his contribution to the new musical home. But as he utterly failed to cough up one copper cent, the people made up their minds that he could not play them for suckers or greenhorns, and likewise they refused to lay any money down on the table, and the final result was that the meeting drew to an end without collecting in one nickel for the benefit of that splendid musical institution. One of our close friends had a brand new five dollar bill which he intended to toss on the table, but as long as the chairman of the meeting had no faith in the proposition he would not part with his five dollar bill. It is reported that in the near future that Col. Abbott, who has become one of the new millionaires of Chicago, will contribute five thousand dollars to the National University of Music. If that is so it seems to us that last Friday evening was the proper time for him to lay his five thousand dollar check down on the table. islature will deliver the principal address.

URBAN LEAGUE NATIONAL MEETING NOTABLE EVENT League Closes Most Eventful Year The National Urban League held its annual meeting at Greenwich House in Greenwich Village, New York City, on Thursday evening, February 10. There were more than 100 guests at the special dinner held for the occasion. Representatives were present from many of the cities in which the League has developed work including Atlanta, Philadelphia, Newark and other northern New Jersey towns, New York and Chicago, as well as far away South Africa. L. Hollingsworth Wood, President, presided and reports of work completed and planned were presented by T. Arnold Hill of Chicago, Jesse O. Thomas of Atlanta, Mrs. Harriet Shadd Butcher, Extension Secretary and Charles S. Johnson, Director of the Department of Research and Editor of "Opportunity" magazine, and Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary. There were also talks by John Hope, President of Morehouse College and member of the League's Board; Miss Ruby Adendoff of South Africa, General Smuts' representative, who is studying prohibition in this country, and Miss Elizabeth Walton of the National Executive Board. A summary of Mr. Jones' report for the year is as follows: With the new organizations developed during the year, the League now has 42 branches and 26 local offices in as many cities and five movements have been started in addition requiring workers who will be in office within the next month. Of these movements, 18 are already supported by Community Chests and an additional three will unquestionably be included in chests within the next month. This means the League is endorsed by every Community Chest in cities in which the League is formally located. Surveys of the Negro population have been completed in Buffalo, in Westchester County, N. Y., and in Morristown, N. J. "Opportunity" magazine, published by the League, has increased its circulation to 10,000 monthly and more than 100 public and university libraries are subscribers; 40 classes in sociology are using it for reference and research. There were 732 contributions to the "Opportunity" Literature Prize Contest and the League has furnished material for many magazine articles and reports on the Negro [Name] HON. GEORGE M. MAYPOLE made by leading sociological students of race problems. Four persons during the year have studied under League Fellowships in leading schools of social work and two scholarships were awarded to a southern school of social work. Announcement was made of the launching of the League's National Industrial Program with T. Arnold Hill, Executive Secretary of the Chicago League, as the new Industrial Secretary. In this department an important investigation will be started to show the experience of Negro workers with trade unions. An effort will be made to open industrial opportunities for Negroes and to let Negroes know where they may most easily find work and good living conditions. In 1924 the League was instrumental in getting 19 places on the program of the National Conference of Social Work at Toronto to discuss the Negro. The Executive Secretary of the League was elected to the governing board of the Conference and two of its local secretaries were appointed to other important committees. Through the League's local branches health programs, employment service, community centers, school visiting, nursing service, clinics, convalescent work, recreational activities and home economics have been promoted. With a minimum budget of $48,000 for 1924, the National Urban League raised $57,000. The League now employs 175 workers and $300,000 was expended by the national and local offices in 1924. Miss Evangeline Brewster Johnson was added to the League's Board and the present officers were re-elected. THE QUESTIONNAIRE By Miss Louise Bond 1. What are the kinds of artificial gas?

Oil gas? Air gas? * * * 4. Name in the order of their rank, the four largest steel producing countries in the world. * * * 5. From what metal are razors made? How tempered? How hardened? Answers 1. Artificial gas is classified as coal gas, water gas, oil gas, air gas and acetylene. Coal gas was known as early as 1691, but it was first used in 1792 by William Murdock to light his home in Cornwall, England. 2. Baltimore, in 1821, was the first American city to use the new system. * * * * 3. Water gas is made by blowing steam through a furnace full of white hot anthracite or coke. The steam is decomposed and combines with the carbon monoxide gasses which burn with greater heat. Oil gas is produced by heating suitable oils until they break down into permanent gases. These may be purified and compressed into cylinders. Air gas is formed by blowing air through a volatile inflammable liquid such as gasoline until the air contains enough vapor to burn. * * * * 4. In 1920 the four largest steel producing countries in the world were United States, United Kingdom, Germany and France. 5. Razors are made of cast steel. After the razor-blade is formed, it is hardened by gradually raising it to a bright-red heat, and plunging it into cold water. It is tempered by heating it afterwards till a brightened part appears of a straw color. ```markdown ``` ncil from the new 15th Ward Answers *** 391 HON. WILLIAM R.

The hall was decorated with the club colors and pennants. The programs were in the form of a diary which was indeed a unique idea and lent an additional charm to the arrangement of the dances. Francis E. Cook, Jr., president of the club, led the grand march and never did a general lead his troops with greater military precision than did "Cookie" lead his Charlestoning merry makers. I think I may safely say that the most enjoyed dances were the last.

John A. Andrews Memorial Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. This is my fifth week on the inside looking out, but all of this time I have been improving, and from this you will decide that I must have been way down at the heel, and you are guessing right, but then Dr. Eugene H. Dibble has been kept busy, and he has succeeded in getting me to where I am now. It is certainly strange how things have been fixed up in this world, for here I am working hard as I can to keep Dr. Dibble out of hell, to keep him out of the hands of the devil, and here he has been working five weeks to keep me out of heaven, and have me remain down here a little longer with you people. This seems to be a general contract between the minister and the doctor, one is working against hell and the other against heaven. Of course you know heaven is my home, but I am not exactly home sick. I am willing to remain down here a little while longer, although Editor Taylor has referred to my Baptist heaven some time ago. He is a wonderful editor and is doing something for his people. Speaking of Editor Julius F. Taylor, there is not another man in all the country like him. He is original in his editorial work, original in the make-up and headlines of his paper, and then he is earnest, and if you are right he will praise you and if you are wrong he will do the other thing, and he does not mince words either. There are many traits about him to be admired If you knew my condition when I came in this hospital, and could see me now, you would not blame me for praising Dr. Dibble, and the head nurse, Miss Mary S. Booth. They have been faithful, and it was the use of the knife in the hands of Dr. Dibble which snatched me back to this world. After you are slashed, and put together again, then you need good nursing, and Miss Booth took charge of this, especially during the dressing and operation, but then there were some other faithful nurses, who shared in this, Misses Nettie Jones, Edith Williams, Delphia Williams, Arcola E. Phillips, Edna Kelon, A. E. Murphy, Bessie Jacobs, Leslie Epps, Eunice Emanuel, Willie Martin and Mardrie Mae Marsh. I have told you about Dr. King and a Dr. Wood, the part they played in my drama, and all acted well their part, and I am thankful for it. They have all been in harmony with Dr. George Cleveland Hall, and did not attempt to put me to sleep. Dr. Hall has told me that if any one wanted to put me to sleep to telegraph for him and he would be there. You see he is my regular physician and I believe in him. It has just been one act of kindness after another since I have been here. They have furnished me with fruit galore. Mr. Palmer has taken the lead in this, and while I was on spoon eats, Mr. Shehee sent me over mush, and it was good. It carried me back to the days when my mother fed me on mush and milk. Mrs. B. T. Washington sent me over ice cream each day, and then there was Mrs. Katie Gover, the wife of the banker, and she made ice cream. You see one of the most interesting characters here is Prof. V. C. Turner, of the agriculture department, a graduate from Morehouse college, and finished up in Wisconsin, where he learned all about the agriculture and milk business. He has charge of the dairy herd, looking after the milk and cream. Mr. Turner furnished cream to Mrs. Gover, and honey, she made some ice cream in great style. She carried me out for a ride as did her husband from time to time. I have told you about him, for he is the banker here. I was able to go to church Sunday and chapel Sunday night, and I am sure that you will say this is encouraging, and you will be expecting to hear of me out any time and anywhere. Yet I am not going to be able to go to see President Coolidge take his seat and attend the National Race Congress. This is going to be one more important meeting of the Congress, and I had a wire from Dr. Jernagin, Sunday, who had just learned that I was sick. He was both sorry and interested in me. Just as soon as I am able to get around I am going to Florida and remain for a little while, as I see it now. At any rate I am to remain in this southern country until I am restored to myself again. I will not be able to break right into Chicago, although I want to do it. I will have to wait until the weather changes up. It will take a little time. I see where there has been a little fun up in New Jersey, and as the result, Mrs. Helen Hagan-Williams is asking the court to have Dr. John T. Williams, her lawful husband to give her proper support, pending the action for separation and alimony. She claims that her dear darling husband has broken her arm or something like that. These things are unfortunate, and I am sorry, for both of these are high ups. They are well educated, and stand high in this world. Yet human nature is the same the world over. High ups and low downs in both races—in all races, have their ups and downs, and they figure in this divorce mill business, and at times in scandal. People are getting married and getting separated daily. Of course you music lovers will remember Miss Helen Hagan, one of the finest players on the piano in America. She has made her place in this world, and has traveled all over the country. She put on the finishing touch in France, and one of the few of my race who have had the pleasure of studying over there. She met one of the great physicians of the race, and it was decided that it would make a fine combination. Now just what happened I do not know. You can never tell the inside workings of family affairs, hence you must let it go at that. You have your thoughts and you may have your say, but it will take eternity to unearth the truth. When this letter is printed, perhaps the election will be over in Chicago, and R. R. Jackson will have been retained as alderman. This is just as it should be, because he is a good man and he is faithful. Of course others want the place, and that has always been true and will ever be. If anything is good, others want it. Men seek honor and position, men want to go up in life. Already men are planning to be president of the United States, and will watch to get something on the president to show why he should be changed. The people of Chicago believe that there should be a change in the post office there, and many of them want the man who is now superintendent of the post office in Englewood to be made postmaster. He is a fine man and a gentleman. He has been known to be a friend to mankind. He is not a victim of colorphobia. He sees from the standpoint of mind, and soul, and character and intellectual worth and not from the color of his skin or the house in which he dwells. Such is Superintendent Bosworth. But it is not my mission to talk politics or about political positions, yet I feel here and there I can say a word. I don't like to spend all my time talking about the Baptist church, the National Baptist convention and its president, Dr. L. K. Williams, and it will be time enough for me to talk about the Sunday School Congress. I am not getting any information about Fisk. You may hear from me later. CHARLES E. STUMP. At the station on Tuesday, the "red-cap" who took my luggage was a colored man, Sandy W. Trice. He was skillful to use the word "usher" to describe himself. He was urbanity itself. He was chief of ushers at the Michigan Central, and president of the Red Caps Literary Club. He gave me a copy of their program for Sunday afternoon, February 1. And he was a church member, as leaders usually are. He was an officer in the church. He handed me an issue of the Metropolitan Community Tidings, a six-page bulletin and order of worship, published each Sunday. The congregation meets in the auditorium of the High School named Wendell Phillips. They must know him. I bade Trice good-bye with a high heart. I felt I was his guest. SOME OF THE NEWS OF THE WEEK Senator McCormick Dead; President Malone. the best man for the position; The passing of National Republican Committeeman, Fred W. Upham; Political Spotlights; New Journalists enter the field; Troop 663; Alimony for husbands. By Charles Stewart, Jr. Senator Medill McCormick, the Senior United States Senator from Illinois, departed this life February 25th in Washington, D. C. He had been in public life for many years. He served two terms in the Illinois Legislature as a Progressive, was elected and served one term as Congressman-at-large from Illinois and would have completed his term as United States Senator should he have lived until March fourth. He was a forceful character, was considered the best learned man in the United States Senate. His close contact by travel made him the strong member of the Committee on Foreign Relations. He was the father of the budget system that saved the government millions of dollars. Friends and foes admit that the nation has lost a character that at this time is needed in the management of the affairs of the government. The Broad Ax joins the vast multitude in sending their condolence to Mrs. McCormick and the bereaved family. * * * We notice that the Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Independent gievs an account of a denial of Robert L. Vace, of the Pittsburgh Courier, that he is a candidate for the position of Register of the Treasury and in the same article Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, is presenting the claims of Mr. Ernest G. Tidrington of Evansville, Indiana. It further states that the other candidate is the Hon. Aaron E. M. Malone, president of Poro College, St. Louis, Missouri. Whatever the further qualifications of the other candidates may be, we question not but join the citizens throughout the country in advocating the cause of Mr. Malone. His business has been an asset to the National Committee and the Missouri Central State Committee in lending his sinews of war, commonly known as the American dollar, in an effort to bring about party success. In and out of season he has been the largest contributor of our group in the country. Outside of politics he has contributed to welfare associations, to the Society for the Advancement of Colored People, and to the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. From a business status he is known throughout the commercial world and has made it possible for thousands of men and women to earn a living wage His claim should be pressed not as a citizen of Missouri, but as a citizen of the United States whose position carries with it every requirement that should in itself give to President Coolidge the reason for his appointment. Mr. President, the position has been a political compensation handed to our race in recognition in part, for their loyalty to the party and the nation. It should be an effort on the part of common justice that we join in asking the people at large throughout the country to write the strongest letters that can be constructed, giving endorsement to Mr. Malone. * * * The death of National Committeeman Fred W. Upham, of Illinois is a national loss. He was a man of wide vision, worked his way up from the bottom, beginning in the rank of Alderman and when he laid down his torch he left behind a record in politics and in the commercial world that will ever stand out as a tribute to the people of the nation. His death brings about the election of his successor. He was a McCormick adherent, thus it is necessary for the Republican State Central Committee of Illinois to elect his successor. The wise acres who have been stooping to political trickery in every manner to deprive Senator Deneen of his right to pass upon certain appointments will take due notice and govern themselves accordingly that he and Col. Frank Smith will name the next National Committeeman which will be a great adjunct in the election of the next United States Senator. This same group that has been striking Senator Deneen below the belt will find that they have built a pathway of thornes that will prick their political skin until they will call for a new brand of political mercy, for the things they have been doing are outside the records of political decency. Each one of them, when the rocks begin to fall, will perform a new acrobatic trick attempting to land somewhere on the tail gate of the new wagon in which there will be no room even if they reduce themselves to a human status.

On March third at twelve o'clock midnight the invisible man, father time, will cut out their hopes of power for five and one years. * * * It has been reported that Hon. James G. Cotter, Assistant United States District Attorney, has so improved himself that he is considering retiring from the office in order to enter private practice, which will be more lucrative than the present position affords. the principalship of Prof. James Armstrong, was a prejudiced institution, but the above news item refutes that statement and substantiates the statement of this writer that the Ile glewood High School was not prejudiced but gave equal opportunities all regardless of creed, nationality, color. In a future issue I shall have more to say about the principal this school and the wonderful work that he is doing in this educational stitution. It is said that Attorney James N. Simms is endeavoring to obtain the endorsement of the Bar Association as his successor, but the dictaphone record are rolling off the story that the position has been cinched by either Representative Warren B. Douglas or the learned English scholar of the Bar, Attorney William A. McIntyre. There is no question but that either of these distinguished barristers will fill the position with credit to themselves and the department of justice. Two colored youths have been recently appointed members of the staff of the "E" Weekly, the student publication of the Englewood High School, 62nd Street and Stewart Avenue. The young men are Messrs. Lewis Caldwell, a reporter for the publication, and Wesley Jones, who has created a great sensation throughout the school by his educational and inspirational cartoons. It was stated some time ago that the Englewood High School, under ```markdown ``` M. B. HON. BERTHOLD A. CRONSON Elected to the City Council from the Fourth the principalship of Prof. James E. Armstrong, was a prejudiced institution, but the above news item refutes that statement and substantiates the statement of this writer that the Englewood High School was not prejudiced but gave equal opportunities to all regardless of creed, nationality or color. In a future issue I shall have more to say about the principal of this school and the wonderful work that he is doing in this educational institution. * * * Monday evening I had the pleasure of attending the meeting of Troop 663 of the Boy Scouts of America, which is under the supervision of the Hope Presbyterian Church, 61st Street and Loomis Blvd. I met Mr. James Brumfield, Scoutmaster of the Troop; Assistant Scoutmaster Rodney Smith, who recently qualified for the position and is a promising assistant to Mr. Brumfield; Senior Patrol Leader Owen Cammack, who opened the meeting and marked down in a little book whether or not each member had faithfully carried out the scout program during the past week and just how many merits their services were worth. Then there was Scout George Clark, who was recently appointed Troop Scribe, it is this young man's duty to keep all troop records and attend to the correspondence. After having the opportunity to peep into this book I must say that his clerical ability well qualifies him for the position.

SOME OF THE NEWS OF THE WEEK By Charles Stewart Jr. After having a few calisthenic exercises given by one of the Assistant Scoutmasters, Scoutmaster Brumfield took charge, had the boys sit around him in camp fire style and revealed to them some of the secrets of life that should be imparted to boys of this age. It was enjoyable to note the interest that this Scoutmaster took in each individual scout and the way he had of imparting this valuable knowledge to the boys. Mr. G. H. Schultz, Field Scout Executive for this district surely secured a valuable man when he enlisted Mr. Brumfield in the ranks of his many Scoutmasters. These Scouts are planning a parents dinner, which is to be the greatest event in the history of the troop. After they discussed among themselves plans for this event, played a few games, had some troop yells, the scout benediction was pronounced by the Scoutmaster and the troop was dismissed until next Monday evening. The members of the troop are: Lewis Anderson, Jerry Bowers, Obadiah Bell, Alphonso Crusor, Rodger Elliott, Alphonso Fields, Ernest Green, Worth Hall, Paul Johnson, Cyrus Joyner, George Maxfield, William Minoe, Lawrence Simms, George Turner, John Walker, Adelo Washington, Hary Hayes, Thomas Neil, Robert Praym, Larnell Eskridge, Daniel Webster, John Wester, John Blackburn and Sam Smith. It is reported that a special meeting of the Woman's Federation will be called immediately to demand that Senator Roberts withdraw his bill for the payment of alimony by them. In the whispering undercurrent wave the radio station is said to have announced that they consider this bill both malicious and unwarranted in every provision.

She says it was Exelento Quinine Pomade that rid her scalp of all dandruff and made her hair grow long, silky soft, and luxuriant. It made her hair fairly glow with life and gave it a pretty, glossy sheen. She was so delighted with Exelento Quinine Pomade, she tried Exelento Skin Beautifier for sallow-eyed exelions and skin bleimishes. She had used this remarkable cream but a short time when her friends began complimenting her on her clear skin and improved appearance. Anyone who wants lovely hair and a beautiful complexion should immediately purchase Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier.
