UNUSUAL OCCUPATIONS FOR COLORED WOMEN
(Lincoln Press Service)
There are 7 colored police-women in the United States.
Twenty-four colored women in the country are mail-carriers and 19 are "news-boys."
You will be surprised to know that of the 116 colored postmasters under Postmaster-General New, that 40 of these are colored women.
Preferring personal service as a means of livelihood, 12,660 colored women have employment as barbers, hairdressers and manicurists.
While only 11 white females are engaged in shoe-shining as an avocation, 22 colored women are thus employed throughout the United States.
If milady should not like the true feminine finish that her shoemaker applied to her last boots, she may pick among 23 colored women, engaged in the work in the country, to make her next pair.
Of the 35,442 colored persons who follow the profession of teaching public schools in the, United States, 29,189 are women, 94 of these women have reached the age of 65 years and over.
It is surprising to note the scarcity of colored stenographers in the United States. There are only 2,310 of these, of which 1,970 are women. Of the book-keepers there are 2,234 colored, with 1,611 females.
Perhaps that last driver of the taxi you used was too reckless and careless. Call a woman taxi driver. You know there are 113 females among the 38,573 colored people doing this kind of work in the country.
Or if you are entertaining special preferences for women, you can have colored females build your new house with the exception of the plumbing and gas-fitting. There are in the United States 34 colored women who are designers; 3 brick and stone-masons; 26 carpenters; 3 plasterers; 8 painters, glaziers and varnishers and 11 paper-hangers. After it is finished you might have it insured by any one if the 447 colored female insurance agents. That stubborn and unsightly stone ledge which obscures your view of the street; remove it How? That's simple! Just engage one of the 8 colored women, who work in powder and dynamite factories to blow it up for you.

COULD ENFORCE PROHIBITION BUT NO LAWS FOR LYNCHING
(Lincoln News Service)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—At the exact moment that Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia, was enveighing against Congressman Hill, of Maryland, for violation of the Bolstead law, in permitting wine to ferment in his cellar, a Negro named Carter was being taken from Virginia authorities, near Richmond, to be lynched.
Senator Glass was speaking before the Citizenship Conference, in session here last week, and said: "If, Congressman Hill was in Virginia, I would find an officer who would arrest him if he allowed wine to ferment in his cellar or his parlor. In Virginia, we teach respect for the law by punishing its violators, and that is why Virginia is a law-abiding community."
If what the Senator was saying was literally true, probably Carter, who was accused of attacking a white woman, might have had a trial by a jury in order that facts could be disclosed, instead of displaying that the Virginians would rather take a life than take a drink.
Mrs. Emma Mayo. Call on Miss Mayo, she wants to become a reader of The Star. Tell her to write more often. Mr. Livingston reports he was elated over the write-up, also Mrs. Mayo.
Mr. S. P. Terrell was in our office Saturday; gave us an order for some calling cards. Thanks.
Rev. C. H. Flowers is giving us some work every week; why don't others do likewise? Let printers' ink help you. Our phone number is Walnut 2712x1; just call, we will drive out, collect and deliver. Give us a trial.
Mr. Ed. Buffington, the Tailor is all of what it takes to show prosperity; he weighs 204 pounds—smile.
Misses Emma Wilbon is back home after spending some weeks in Cal., in search of health; she is able to be at her post of business again. She is one of our leading undertakers.
Very delighter are we to have Mrs. C. M. Davis, our black board demonstrator at her place in S. School; how we missed her while she was out in California, Chicago, and other places; spent quite two months on her summer vacation. Rev. C. M. Davis is all smiles.
Miss Daisy Daniels is now at 964 Ford Place with her brother, Mr. D. Daniels.
Miss Banks is quite an accomplished young lady of 962 Ford Pl., and will attend Henderson Business College.
Messrs Peebles & Springfields have quite a nice grocery business on Mississippi Avenue. Mrs. Springfield is quite pleasant and inviting for customers.
A very nice house lot 250x300; is what we call thrift.
Mr. M. Mayo, Jr., was in the city, Friday; he is a Melophone musician, with the Keth Minstrel. He looks the picture of health; we only wish his mother could see him, he is something snappy.

DON'T LET IT BE TOO LATE
No loyal Baptist should disregard the very urgent appeal of the Board of Promotion the instant appeal of our Building Committee indorsced and urged by Pres. L. K. Williams for $50,000.00 to push the work on our Sunday School Publishing House. It is not too late to help.
To turn down or for any reason what-so-ever, not to send Dr. Townsend any money now is to greatly hinder our work, discourage your Building Committee, break down Dr Williams' program. One snow flake will hardly be noticed, but when they fall and fall, pile up on one another for many hours, they stop, City Country traffic, block railroad trains. So it will take the co-operation of many Pastors to put over the program, now mapped out.
Pop Graham of Philadelphia, set an example many of our strong churches would do well to follow. It is not too late to help your Building Committee pay $50,000 to our contractor and have him push the work on our Morris Memorial Building Home of our Sanday School Publishing Board. Miss P. A. Bryan, who sailed for Africa Oct. 1919 in our party of 10, is at home again. She is an experienced nurse and was of great value to our Bible Industrial Mission.
She was adopted by the N. J. Baptist and since returning is their guest. She sorrowed with Dr. Sisusa in the loss of his wife, Delta known so well to our whole Baptist family. Our women should invite her to speak in all parts of our country for the educational affect it would have on our churches for God.
Yours in His Service,
L. G. JORDAN.

SHORT CUTS.
(The Lincoln News Service)
A pretty safe prophecy is that the coming campaign will be one of facts and figures rather than funny stories and oratory—October Mid-West Review.
Andrew Griffin, Washington colored man was fined $10 for killing his five-year-old son, while shooting at his wife and Warley Puffinberger was sentenced to penitentiary for two years for stabbing a cow to death at Winchester, Va.
Henry Ford proposes to return his war profits made off the Government That's good! If the consciences of other profiteering gate-lifters, fostered by Democratic inefficiency, worked the same way, the public debt could be refunded without strain.
First prize for the best essay, selected from the hundreds submitted from the District of Columbia, offered by the Firestone Tire Company, was won by Cortez Peters, Dunbar High School student in the Business Department. Peters also won the Underwood gold medal.
ARE YOU AWARE?
BY E. M. BARNES.
That the Aware Editor has been confined to the house and bed for a week, and unable to be at his post of duty. He expects however to have sufficiently recovered in a few days from his minor operation to resume school work.
That Junior Barnes is yet exhibiting some of his comical ways? The other day he was talking about a certain little baby girl; his mother said, "Junior" what would you do with a little girl? With the ready response of a grown-up, he replied, "I would puttum in jail."
That little Allen Hutcherson is somewhat down in the mouth since the arrival of his new brother, especially because his (Allen's) bed is taken?
That it is wise to be ye always ready for ye know not the day nor the hour when the sun of winter will disappear?
That thinking gives indolent people the headache? This is an experience however that all must have to begin with if we would develop into logical thinkers.
It is intensely gratifying to note that some of our people are waking up to the realization that to follow leadership means success? Remember that any plan will work if the people will acquiesce and make it work.
Surprise yourself and think sometimes.
Southwestern District To Meet In Hutchinson
The Quarterly Board Meeting of the Southwestern District Association is called to meet in Hutchinson, Nov. 14-15. Moderator Hayes is asking that every auxiliary do more in every way than before. He especially wants to meet the best workers in the different churches so they can help him map out a program that will stimulate the work. Our obligations are growing and responsibilities likewise are growing, so to put over the program for the Master, we must organize and do some tangible work.
The President of the Sunday School department is asking that you work on this plan:—Make your constitutional allowance of $3.00; push your special effort money with plenty of life and then have the teachers to have class rallies and the names and amounts of each class will be turned in to the secretary of the Sunday School to be forwarded with report from the Sunday School, thereby letting the district see the strength of the classes in each school.
Do this at once so you can make a full report.
Don't forget the date is Nov. 14 and 15, and every organization in the District is expected to have a messenger present or a full report. The Moderator is counting on you.

Since God in His Alwise Providence has called from our midst our dear Sister Ruby V. Tynes, one who labored with an unluring spirit, and who always patient during her long illness. Be it resolved, that we the members of New Hope Baptist Choir bow in humble submission to the will of the Father, who doth all thing well. We extend our deepest sympathy to the bereaved family and commend them to Jesus. One, who is able to bear all our burdens. In heavenly love abiding, No change my heart shall tear; And safe is such confiding For nothing changes here. The storms may roar about me, My heart may low be laid;
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed.

Walsen, Colorado Notes
(Continuel from last Issue.)
O he preached one powerful sermon. Our hearts rejoiced as God talked trus through him. At six o'clock Sister Brunson our president in the chair had a splendid program—Song by the congregation; trio by two girls and a boy; paper by Miss Genolda Vaughn; recitation by Mr. Bennie Vaughn, "Uncovered" which was very fine. It is good to be the master of yourself and not let sin conquer. A paper by Miss Ida Vaughn, "My Place in the B. Y. P. U." It was wonderful. She is only a small girl and I do wish all the little girls could have heard her and larger ones as well; it is surprising and might have inspired them to take a place in the B. Y. P. U. Miss Genolda Vaughn, paper: "Children's Duty to Parents." It was so grand and well gotten up. The humorous side of the program—Recitation by Mr. Gerone Powell, the idea of it was an opossum going to school. Some who were listed for this part of the program were absent; hope they will do better next time. The lesson was then taken up and well explained by Mr. W, R. Thomas and Rev. Merph(white)also our own dear pastor.
Rev. Bruster ascended the stand and preached a powerful sermon to a good crowd; so powerful was his sermon that four accepted Christ on the terms of the Gospel. Two found Christ in the meeting, Mr. Henry Carter's children, they joined and two who yield their hearts to God there and then: Misses Ida Vaughn and Margaret Masterson. We have four candidates for baptism and three at Lester. The meeting at Lester closed with a great spiritual feast Thursday, all praying with one accord for one Mrs. Limmie Hargroves and the spirit of God or the Holy Ghost as a bright light, something like the one that knocked souls blind came on the ceiling of the church and all therein saw it; God blessed her soul, some who lived a mile away shouted all the way home. O what a meeting that kind that was never known there before; but He said He would come when we all prayed with one accord. We believe the pastor will start a meeting in Walsenburg, when he gets back for we saw two on the road who said by their ways that they were tired of sin; the pastor said for the soldiers to be at their post for he was going to try the devil another round.
We were indeed glad to have Sister Weeks who has been gone to Alabama, to see her people, back again. She reports a nice time.
Mrs. Hodge of Raven Wood, united with the church Sunday morning; we are glad to welcome her for the harvest truly is great but the laborers are few.
Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Thurman were visiting in Publo. Sunday and report a good time.
Mr. and Mrs. Wortham, Mr. and Mrs. Kingberry and Mrs. Annie Wilcox were dinner guests at Deacon and Burt's. Sunday.
Mr. Thomas Odell Martin of Walsenburg, is on the sick list with typhoid fever has been for three weeks
but is a little improved.
Glad to note that Mr. J. II. Holmes who underwent the operation a few weeks ago is at home feeling himself again to the delight of his many friends.
Mrs. Albert is much improved also, at this writing.
Mr. L. II. Pugh made a flying trip to Colorado Springs, last Thursday, returned Monday evening. Glad to have Prof. Pugh in our midst; he is a well informed man and is such a help to the church work.
Miss Cora Vaughn is preparing to organize a choir and will call those who are to take part to meet her soon some evening at the church.
Mrs. Harris Johnson is going to organize an art club in the near future and all who are wishing to do art work, see her or Mrs. R. B. Thurman.
Little Mildred Story is sick with measles; we miss her from Sunday School and hope she will soon be out again. She is a very bright child in her books; I do wish all parents would send their children to school and Sunday School. They should bring them but if they won't do that, they ought to send them. It is a sin before God to see how the parents let their children play ball and marbles all day Sunday, while they are sitting up in the church; letting the children go to hell. God is holding you responsible for your children. It was long ago that children obeyed their parents, but now the parents obey the children. O what a shame.

ST JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. S. A. Williams Pastor
There was a large attendance at our church Sunday morning; pastor Williams selected for his text Ist Sam. 15:3; subject: "Utterly Destroy." He emphasized the fact that we are to utterly destroy everything in our lives that conflicts with right-courness or impedes our spiritual progress. The presence of the Holy Spirit could be felt in the services. Many good things were said that furnished much food for thought.
At 3 p. m, Rev. J. L. Dudley delivered a strong Gospel sermon; his text is found in Heb. 2:3; "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation " He delivered another soulstirring sermon at 8 p. m., from this subject: "None good but God." The attendance was exceptionally good throughout the day. There was one accession to the church.

St. Mary Baptist Notes. Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor.
Our Sunday School was very interesting and well attended Sunday morning, Oct. 28th.
At the hour for service, our pastor read for a Scripture lesson Isa. 53:19; Rev. J. W. Johnson chose for a text Isa. 53:1st clause of the 6th verse; "All we like sheep save gone astray." He indeed preached a wonderful sermon of which all enjoyed. He brought out so many good tho'ts Christ wants service. He is being neglected today because the sheep have gone astray. People oftimes say they are serving God because they pray much, but they are only asking God for service. He wants us to serve Him in proportion as He serves us.
Much interest was manifested in the B. Y. P. U. Session. Many good thoughts were brought out of the lesson. Subject: "Kinsmen of today." Missionary. A unique program was by the children, conducted by Sister M. L. Simmonh.
The hour having arrived for the evening service, our pastor selected for his text Gen. 26:19. "Anh Isaac's servants digged in the valley and found there a well of springing water." He preached a great sermon from the subject, "Water.' Showing both water as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Water is to the physical dan what the Holy Spirit is to the spiritual can. Many wonderful thoughts were brought out, that will benefit each and every one who will take heed. It was indeed a heart-searching sermon. Four persons were added to our membership.
We are filled with regrets to give up Mrs. Angeline Washington who left last week for California.

St. Paul Notes.
2nd Epistle of Paul’s Letter to Ti-
tus, 10th verse, was the text of a
timely and instructive sermon by. our
pastor, Rev, R, L. Pope, at 11 a. m.
Subject: “Advertising Religion.” fle
spoke of the church as a wonderful
power to draw mcn to Christ, and of
the great importance to attract by
advertising our Christian lives to
make a better commuaity; to adorn
and make beautiful our house of wor-
ship. The most profitable results are
obtained through advertising in our
business. It iz also of equal bencfit
to the church, We rightly advertise
by letting our light so shine before
men that others may see our good
works,
There was a good attendance at 5
School and an interesting review of
the lesson topic,
At 8 p.m. the sermon delivercd
by the pastor, was from Jonah 3:1:
“Arise, go unto Ninevah.” He spoke
ot the Prophet Jonah’s disobedience
to God; showing the mistake in dis-
obeying the Divine Cummanda; that
wo may expect evil to befall us when
wo fail to answer the call of the Mas-
ter,
