L, Marchant, to the State Capitol. Uupon his return, he made a lcport and the League called a Mass Meeting, for Sunday, Therefore, on Sunday afternoon, mora than three hundred citizens gathered at Calvary Church, to hear the report, and to take further ac- tion, The following resolution was adopt- ed, and funds raised to wire the same to our Legislator, and other In- terested persons, RESOLUTION Whereas, there has been introduc. el in the Kancas State Legislature, 1929, House Bill No. 300, providing for the maintanance of a High School for Negroes in cities of 95000 population and above. And, whereas we recognize that such a bill. if it becomes a law, will affect Wichita, And, recognizing that the present number of Negro Students in the Wichita High School (103) would not justify the extravagant expendi- ture of Tunds that would be necessa- rv for the providing of equal facili- ties, % And, believing that such a law, if passed, would be contradictory to the history and traditions of Kansas, as well as the present tides of Good Will, so manifest between the races throughout the State and Nation, and among the races of the world. And, whereas we believe such an act to be contradictory to the spirit | of Democracy, as well as contrary to: the spirit of the Christian Religion. Therefore, we the Negro Citizens of Wichita, Kansas, in Mass Mecting assembled, do hereby petition the Kansas State Legislature, 1929 Ses- sion, to vote against this:—House Bill No, 300, The said Mass Meeting was held under the auspices of the Wichita, Ministerial League—Composed of the entire ministry of the Negro Church- of the City—ten In number, and with the individual personal approval of all of the constituent members. ‘The 10th dav of Fetru-ry, 1929, at Wichita, Se tewi-k County.

HUTCHINSON NEWS INTEREST The Second Baptist Church had the good fortune of having preach for them, Rev. Staves. He is a very excellent speaker and can sing, also, which is a great advantage to his line of work. The Sunday School is now headed by Chester I. Lewis, who is bringing great things to pass among the young folk. The assistant Supt., is Miss Bernice Morris of the local high school. Mrs. Richard McQuarry was re-lected as head of the Mission Circle for the new year. She is considered a hard worker and the weather never gets too cold for her to do her duty. The church at this time is without a pastor; ary church needs a pastor, and a good man would do well here. Mrs. Bertha Lewis entertained the New Era Club, Wednesday, Feb. 13, at 3 p. m., assisted by Mrs. Ora White. Deacons Vern T. Watts, Claude P. Lewis and Champ McCalep are the pulpit committee for the church. The pianist, Mrs. E. E. Turner, left for Detroit, Michigan, last week. She and Mr. Turner expect to stay some time. A PARABLE OF EXCUSES AND ACCUSATIONS Now there dwelt in the City where I lived a man whom I knew, and so far as I was aware he was All Right. For while I had never heard anything Very Good about him, neither had I heard anything bad, and I was not looking for it. And he was married, and so far as I knew his Marriage was an happy one. And there was in that City a woman, and of her I knew nothing that was wrong, and I was not expecting to learn of it. And it came to pass of an evening that I ate my Dinner in a restaurant, and I beheld this man and this woman eating there together. And I bade them Good Evening and went on about my Business, and forgot it. And the next day did the man call upon me, and explain to me, that this lady was a neighbor, and that her husband was a good friend of his, and was out of town, and that his own wife also was out of town, and that they had clubed their loneliness and taken dinner together. And I thought that was All Right and said so. And a day or two later I met the lady, and she took pains to tell me that her meeting with this neighbor was All Right. And by that time I was Growing Suspicious. And afterward, I hanced to meet them both together, and they made Earnest Haste to Explain to me just how it happened, and by that time I was Pretty Certain that something was Wrong. Now I might have seen these two friends and neighbors together Twice or Twenty Times and have thought no evil of it, but when they began to Explain, then did I begin to Suspect. There was a Famous Professor in The Pow For the The Power of For the Conqu A The Power of the Thunderbolt For the Conquest of the Skies DENJAMIN FRANKLIN little thought that the electricity which he drew down from the clouds would one day be a vital factor in stimulating discovery and development of a power for man's conquest of the skies. The thunderbolt was the most spectacular manifestation of the uncontrollability of the elements—the freedom of the heavens. Yet man today rides those elements, traverses the cloudlands. And it is the power of the thunderbolt which enables him to do it. Kansas is pre-eminently a land of filers. The clear skies beckon. The equable climate encourages. The level miles on miles of prairie land offer fair landing fields. And from his mother's knee the Kansan speaks the language of the air. Kansas, consequently, has come to be the center of the nation's air industry. In 1928 Kansas manufactured 1,392 airplanes nearly 40 per cent of all the licensed commercial airplanes produced in the entire United States. The total value of these ships of the air was more than $3,500,000. Thousands of persons are employed in the manufacture, distribution, flying, selling, or accessory-making of the airships produced in Kansas. Kansas is accustomed to seeing the air celebrities of the world. Kansas Ga Kansas Gac and E "At You Oxford, which is in England, and he said. Never explain; never retract; never apologize; get it done and Let Them Howl. And I do not altogether advocate that method, either; but even that is better than too much explanation. For Explanation is Often Self-accusation; and it setteth people to wondering why an Explanation was deemed necessary, if everything was right. MME. R.

MME. R. J. CLARK STREET KA The Thunderbolt Rest of the Skies Col. Lindbergh drops in today; Art Goebel stops over for a short visit tomorrow; other famed filers may be guests the next day. Some of the best-known names in the air world are borne by Kansans—the Walter Beeches, the Clyde V. Cessnas, the Lloyd Stearmans and their brother craftsmen. No other single factor has played a more vital part in this marvelous development than the electric light and power industry. From the very first, electric power executives sensed the significance of the air industry. Following the policy of encouraging and building new enterprises, they placed their facilities at the disposal of the pioneer plane builders. And today the upto-date plane factories of Kansas are thoroly equipped with electrified machinery. On the field, after night, the great electric beacons signal the position of the haven to every wandering ship of the air. Electric welding, electric lathes, electric devices of all kinds may be seen in the factories. The next time you watch an airplane aloft, think of the part your electric light and power company has in this wonderful new enterprise—harnessing the thunderbolt for the conquest of the skies.

And I might remark in closing, that I learned in time why the two people I have been telling about thought it necessary to explain. J.
