A report from the Russo-Chinese front might read: "Moscow, Yistiddy — Official dispatches received here today from Gen Nameitandtakeiski tell of heavy skirmishing near Notoswell, Manchuria in which a score of Russians, attempting to wade the Vokka river, were seriously injured in a bombardment of Mah Jongg blocks. Eighty others had their collars frayed and shirt buttons torn off while engaging in hand-to-hand conflict with a detachment of Chinese who were formerly laundrymen in Chicago and northern Indiana. "Chinese casualties, according to the dispatches, were very light. Twelve of the enemy died from exhaustion and strangulation while attempting to enumerate the different ingredients of chop suey and tell what makes chow mein. Miss Russians, who were held prisoners for three weeks by General Wun Lung Too Many, escaped and made their way back to the Russian front. They report almost inhuman droves.

D.: The boy friend and I were certainly shocked at your actions last Friday night when we took you to meet my kid sister, Minnie, and afterwards want to a restaurant. We thought you knew how to act. I had no idea you wore so dumb you'd take a wet Turkish towel for boiled tripe. Or that you'd take your napkin to try to wrap up what you didn't eat. Bit Minnie seems wild about you. She took to you like a tabby cat to opens a waiting room and lavatory. And then the chapel, with its dignified paws, piano, it's lighted cruxiflamp impelling among the other lighted effects, and a striking print of Christ in Gethsemane forming a center panel in the background. A long passage to the rear conducts one to a comfortably appointed lounging room, and leading from this a slumber room where the dead when dressed lie in waiting, on a beautiful white couch; the morgue of pure white tile and modern appointments; the lavatory and private office of the firm. A flight of stairs leads above and directly into an immense display room where, limbing both sides is an array of caskets and couches in every form and color one might desire to select, and opening on this a smaller room where the infant caskets are displayed; also an outlay of burial robes of beautiful materials and workmanship, shoes and other accessories. Still another room holds the metallic caskets, massive, rich, embellished with all the art of the craft. Used Colored Help The proprietor proudly points out the fact that he was able to use the services of old people to the last detail of his work. Phillip Trent, contractor, was in charge of remodeling: Carl Cunningham, decorator, had charge of that part of the work, and Mr. Mandeville electrician, handled all electric installation. Heavy carpeting which covered the place, was laid by colored men. The public expressed its unqualified appreciation of a business built upon its merits to the point where it now occupies a permanent niche in Gary's Hall of Fame.

Veteran Political Leader Gets Ovation In Appearance At Local Baptist Church By LINDA LEE LANE The American Negro must organize and combine every unit of his power into one effectual political organization if he is to free himself from the weight of his oppressors. This challenge was made to an audience of nearly 1500 persons in Gary Friday night at First Baptist church, Twenty-first and Washington street, and it was made by none other than the most talked of man of color in the United States. It was Oscar De Priest, first colored man to be sent to congress in a score of years. The veteran political leader minced no words in speaking to Garyites in his initial appearance here Friday evening. Speaking in a voice which, while it carried some braggadocio, rang clear with sincerity. De Priest warned his hearers not to longer place their trust in the race at heart, the best interests of the race at heart, or whose ambitions were inimical to their welfame. "I suggest," he said, "that you organize and pool your votes. Elect either members of your own race or men you can trust absolutely. District you city by blocks, appoint a man you are certain has your interests at heart and then permit him to appoint ten others in that square block to interview every Negro in the little unit. Then when the elections come, put your candidate in office." De Priest pleaded with his hearers to adopt the policy of the American white man who, he said, believed in "taking what he wanted, not waiting for it. He declared that he will continue to appoint colored youths to the U. S. naval academy until some of them are accepted and graduated from these institutions and put into positions of honor and responsibility. He ridiculed the efforts of southern members of congress to humiliate him, as reported in the daily press, and declared that "the colored man is in congress again, and he is there to stare." The speaker was presented to the audience by Justice William C. Hueston. TWIT DE PRIEST Oscar De Priest, first Negro to be elected to the House in 20 years, became the target of considerable criticism because an admission price was asked in connection with his speaking here Friday night.

GUY MODERNIZES' FUNERAL HOME; By LOUISI WHITTED Approximately 2,000 people on last Sunday afternoon passed in and out of Guy's Funeral home when, that establishment opened its doors to the public for inspection, after an extensive remodeling and enlargement program was completed. Assisting in registering and acting as ushers were Mesdames Ida Garnett, Bhel Patterson, W. W. Robinson, Wm. Eurupus, Inez Brewer, Lah Carroll, Anna Cooke, Lottie Coronal, P.S. Delaney, Ruth Hedrick, C. D. Lownes, Sylvetta Morris, Stella, McDougal, E. M. Radford, Susie Patton, Martin, Henrietta Redd, D. M. Washington, and Thelma Seelbach. 1 five hundred roses and 1000 art calendars had been provided as souvenirs, but these gave out long before half the crowd gathered. Free coaches ran from Hammond and East Chicago to handle the crowd from those points. An open air concert by the Roosevelt band furnished a delightful program; begins at 6:30Flowers and fermes were the complimentary offerings of St. John's and of Dr. and Mrs. V. M. Marshall.

ACCUSE WILSON OF DEPLETING ELK TREASURY Expect Holstein To Make Race For Exalted Ruler on Issue (By Associated Negro Press) (C) 1929 by The Gary American New York—The campaign for the election of a grand exalted ruler of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World this year is headed, it seems, to the archives of Elk history. The fact that Casper Holstel is the leading candidate in opposition to present grand exalted ruler has lead the campaign into a careful research of history as made by the order during the past two or three years. Among the members of the order there is an evident impression that the campaign will terminate in a strong accusation against the Wilson administration because of the depleted treasury. No one undertakes to attach dishonesty to the Wilson administration, but it appears that extravagance is to be the chief word on the floor of the convention at Atlantic City. It is known that Wilson is preparing to show on the floor at Atlantic City where every dollar has gone, and that it has been withdrawn properly by vouchers for every dollar drawn. Most of the members of the order admit that the money may have been drawn out properly by voucher, but they do not admit that the money was properly or profitably spent. The great opposition to the continuance of Elks of Elley Wilson, as one prominent Elk observed, is on the very simple fact that "wherein we once had money in the treasury, we now have none." Rumors, credited to Grand Treasurer James Martin, persist that only $3,000 remains in the grand treasury. a mouse convention. Of course, I'm not claiming that you are a rat or anything like that. But anyhow, I'd like to know what you did to my sister. She has gone simply nuts. I wanted you to make her fall, but you shouldn't have made her hit the pavement so hard. —Dorores Del Pondo Musty: Ooh, you great big mannikins, doesn't the "D" in your name stand for Darling?

DAVIS LEAVES PAPER AS 'ED' Resigning his position to re-enter college, F. Marshall Davis, managing editor of The Gary American, returned to Chicago Saturday after ten months of service on The American, during which time he distinguished himself as a brilliant editorial writer and columnist. Mr. Davis established his connection with The American in October last year and immediately made a niche for himself in the local hall of fame by his outstanding work for The American. Writing under many pseudonyms, but chiefly under the name of "Raymond Harper," his articles on various subjects and events created widespread interest and discussion and were the cause of many hot debates on the streets of Gary and in the offices of upper Broadway. Few Gary newspaper men have exerted as strong an influence on the minds and imaginations of people or have caused as many people to stop and think as did Mr. Davis thru his ability as a writer. His was the combination of the powerful editorial writer, the poet and the humorist, and he put all three of these talents in his work on The American. He conducted "Mustard," a column of wit and humor which attracted many readers to the paper and gained widespread attention throughout Lake Charles among white black readers of this newspaper "tazzin't the News," giving the news of the week in rhyme, and many other features were regularly written for The American by Editor Davis. He was The American's chief editorial writer as well. Mr. Davis plans to re-enter school this fall at Kansas state college on a scholarship and resume his studies in the school of journalism of that institution, where he enjoys a large acquaintance among the faculty, students and alumni. As a writer, journalist and poet, his work has evoked much praise throughout the middlewest. Some of his verse has appeared in "The Crisis" and "Opportunity" magazines. He wrote short stories for the magazine section of the Chicago Evening Bulletin during the time the newspaper during the semester was a member of the editorial staffs of the Chicago Whip and the Chicago Defender. He is a member of the American College Quill club, national collegiate literary organization and of Delta chapter of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity. Although his return to school was decided upon suddenly, it has been arranged to have Editor Davis continue his connection with the paper as a contributing editor. For the benefit of The American's readers, "Mustard" will continue to be a regul- —The largest fish ever caught with a rod and reel and officially recorded was a 758-pound tuna, landed in 1924 at Liverpool, Nova Scotia, by Zane Grey, the novelist. LOCAL CHURCH BEING PUT UP AT RAPID RATE Builders Make Fast Progress On Jones Community Church; Finishing Basement Progress on the work of completing Jones Community church, now under construction at Madison and Twenty-fifth avenue, was reported to be moving rapidly today following the corner stone laying of the institution several weeks ago. Laying of the first floor of the building is expected to commence in a few days, according to Luther Moore, the church's chief representative on its building committee who has been supervising the construction work on the new edifice. The basement of the building is nearing completion and with construction on the auditorium floor being started in a short time, the completion of the church will be only a matter of a few months, according to Mr. Moore. When completed the church will be one of the finest in the city, housing many departments planned for it under the pastorship of the Rev. H. L. P. Jones. While awaiting its completion, members of the church are holding their services each Sunday at Hod Carrier's hall. The Musolite club gave a rainbow wedding on Tuesday night at Juanita Hall.

Every member will please be present. CLUB COMMENDS DE PRIEST TALK Hight praise for Congressman Oscar DePriest's speech in Gary last Friday night was expressed here today by members of the Independent Political Civic Welfare Club of the First Ward in a resolution passed by the organization. The resolution commends Mr. DePriest's attitude against segregation, and lauds his policy of appointing colored youths to the U. S. Naval and military academies. Mrs. Mattie P. Garner is president of the club and Mrs. Lena Ventress is secretary, Rev. J. R. Robinson, Mrs. G. C. Moncrief, Rev. E. W. Kennedy and Edward McKinley Bacoyn are members of the committee on resolutions.

Oscar De Priest was in Gary last Friday night. He spoke at the First Baptist church before a crowd estimated to 1,200. Although placards announcing the event gave the impression that there would be no admission charges, it was rumored and understood by a few that it would cost 50 cents to listen to the Illinois congressman. Two weeks ago The Gary American protested against such a practice, warning that it would eventually be injurious to the cause of both Mr. De Priest and the race and would place on a commercial basis the Illinoisan's plan to lead our race out of political bondage. We believed that Oscar De Priest would not sanction such an cat. Many Garyites would not believe with us. But we believed in vain. De Priest spoke in Indianapolis Monday night. There was no attempt to hide the fact than an admission fee would be charged. The Indianapolis Record, leading paper of that city, ran an advertisement stating in black and white that it would cost 50 cents to hear the man who claims to be working unselfishly for the good of his race. And if that is not enough, it has been learned from reliable sources that the congressman was paid $100 by First Baptist church officials to make his speech here in Gary. One hundred dollars for what? De Priest said little or nothing more than has been preached to the race for years. He advised us to get together politically. He spoke of the value of solidarity. He told us to elect as many of our race as possible to political office and to support only those who were known to be our friends. The fact that these words came from the only Negro member of congress and the first to be there in more than a score of years neither enhanced nor diminished their value. Nor will it cause Gary Negroes to vote in a solid bloe next election. We are not opposed to the speeches of De Priest. He is in a strategic position. He has a chance to do much good. His talks are filled with sound advice. But it's hard to reconcile his oft quoted statements of planning to a political Moses and a representative of all the people—who are sorely in need of intelligent and conscientious leadership—with his demand for gold when he attempts to show us the way out. DePriest is not poor. His real estate deals and extensive political activities have seen to that. But even a poor man should be condemned for peddling leadership and capitalizing upon his office in such fashion And so today the Negro's only congressman its black political Moses will lead his race to the Promised Land of suffrage and power solely for what he can get out of it. Well, let his pockets fill with gold. When the race realizes his true intention, the dollars he has taken will but point the way to disgrace. But he can never say that he had no chance. NEGROES AND THRIFT Attorney James C. Thomas has forwarded a letter which he received from Mr. Louis Marshall, a member of the firm of Guggenheimer, Untermyer & Marshall, and a trustee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The letter, in part, says: "I note what you have said as to the fact that Negroes are spenders. I would very much prefer that they should be savers, and that would enable them to do many things which under existing conditions are beyond their reach. While in these days it is somewhat unfashionable to preach the homely doctrines of thrift and economy, I really feel that no greater good could come to the Negroes than that they should be imbued with the importance of these virtues." This is as true as it was thirty years ago, when Booker T. Washington started saying it. It is also true that it is much harder for the Negro to save money, especially in large cities, than it is for other races. With so many opportunities closed to him, he makes less money than others and he is so gouged and exploited that he has less chance to save the little he does make. This may sound like self-pity, but a brutal fact. It is still true, however, that Negroes could save more than they do. If the Negroes when just out of slavery could deposit $57,000,000 in the Freedman's Savings bank in ten years, the Negro of today, with his greater wealth and intelligence, could lay by ten times as much. If every adult Negro with a job would promise himself (or herself) to have even twenty dollars in the bank at the end of the year, the wealth of the race would increase by millions. Saving means sacrifice, but the Negro will have to come to it. Have Them Cleaned Now! Gary is having a price war among its cleaners and dyers. To meet the competition, we have cut our prices.
