Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal

Established To Secure Justice and Equality to All VOLUME III, NO.17 WOMEN'S G.O.P. CLUB HONOR WELL KNOWN PUBLICIST Women of Nation Lauded for Their Initiative in Helping to Better Conditions. (Special to the Bulletin-Appeal) Chicago, May 27.—The Women's Cook County Republican Club, a permanent organization with a membership of a thousand active progressive women, gave an invitational reception here this evening in honor of the matchless, inimitable, masterful Oscar DePriest at the South Side Community House. A unique affair indeed, where a hundred little girls strew flowers in the path of Mr. and Mrs. De Priest as they ascended the grand stairway of the club house, while a women's orchestra under the direction of the celebrated pianist, Mrs. Madelyn Hawkins, played "Hall to the Chief." Mrs. Bertha Montgomery, president of the club, and Mrs. Helen Sayre, secretary, headed the receiving line of twenty beautiful women, all elegantly gowned. The gift to Mr. De Priest of handsome gold-lined water pitcher and goblet was made by the club; presentation speech was made by Dr. Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville, corresponding secretary of the National Negro Press Association. Praises Women. The address of "Welcome to Our Guest," was delivered by the Hon. Charles Kriscoff, tax commissioner of the Cook County, to which Mr. De Priest replied as follows: "In this 20th century when public affairs claim the attention of women as never before in history, I find our own delightful race—women taking the open road to both business and politics, and I am happy to learn from you here tonight that my effort to encourage and to help you is rightly understood and properly appraised. "I am one of those who believe that all future world movements will be participated in by women, thus here at the very outset I am striving as best I know to lend my women every encouragement, so that when the big test comes, the women of my race will have had the practice and experience to the end that they can answer, 'We are ready.' Offers His Aid. "Recently I have been carefully noting this trend of the times, by reading after the new work of women in the world. From every one of the 48 states of the Union and from more than a score of foreign countries representing every continent on earth, the daily papers report on this new activity of women. "New South Wales, Australia, Turkey, Czecho-Slovakia, Venezuela and the Islands of the Sea, all of this tells me that women's work in the world is not what it was yesterday, and I pledge you ladies here and now that I shall do all in my power to see to it that you get your share of the good gifts being preferred to any other women. "It is my plan and hope to help crystalize for you the golden opportunities which lie just ahead in the distance. Realizing the full force and significance of your grit and determination to go through with a thing, once you begin it, I know that when the black women and the black men get in action here in Chicago in a cooperative way, politically we are going to be better off than we have been." LOCAL CHURCHMAN GUEST AT DE PRIEST BANQUET While attending the A. M. E. conference in Louisville, Ky., Mr. O. C. Hall, lay delegate from this district, had the pleasure of attending an elaborate banquet in honor of Mr. Oscar De Priest, one of our most courageous politicians, by Mr. Melvin Chism, field secretary of the National Negro Press. The banquet was given in the dining room of Domestic Life Insurance Bldg. Among the noted guests were Messrs. Wilson Lovett, president of the First Standard Bank, Louisville; John Avery, secretary-treasurer of the North Carolina Insurance Company; Editor Willis Cole of the Louisville News; James Weldon Johnson, New York City field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., and many others. Mr. Hall returned home the first part of this week. BULLETIN-APPEAL Saint Paul Girl Wins Prize In Alpha Phi Alpha Contest cton Is Fraua, Says N. Y. Newspaper Mrs. Louise M. Braxton, who visited the Twin Cities last winter soliciting funds for a school in Macon, Ga., is a fraud, according to advice received from New York Age, who claims to have made an investigation into the affairs of Mrs. Braxton. Mrs. Braxton was given much support by various organizations while in the Twin Cities; the money, she said went toward maintaining her school for race girls in the south. The New York Age issues the following statement: Warning to Public The New York Age is in receipt of information from the Macon (Ga.) Chamber of Commerce, through its general secretary, F. Roger Miller, to the effect that one Louise M. Braxton, in New York two years ago, going around to the various churches and other places, with a group of singers raising money for an alleged school which she claims to conduct at Macon, Ga., has no school in that city. She is now working out in Minnesota, according to a letter received by the Age. Mr. Miller writes: "She has made several efforts to promote schools here and elsewhere, but none have ever been established and her activities have been devoted chiefly to collecting money. The colored people in this section of the south have on several occasions expressed through their various organizations their unfavorable opinion of Louise Braxton and her methods." The public is advised against contributing any monies to this woman. Full information can be had if parties will write F. Roger Miller, secretary, Chamber of Commerce, 419 Broadway, Macon, Ga. Mrs. Wm. Jackson, 445 University avenue, left last week for Milwaukee, Wis., to be with her sister, who has been ill for some time. The S. M. T. of the U. B. F. and the Golden Gate Juveniles held their annual sermon and exercises Sunday morning at Camphor M. E. church, 13th and Broadway streets. The annual essay contest given by Mu Chapter Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity in conjunction with their "Go to High School, go to College" drive was held at Pilgrim Baptist church, Cedar and Summit Sts., Sunday evening. The prize essay was awarded to Miss Lucille Howell of Central High school, St. Paul. Miss Howell used as her subject "Why I Should go to College." The basis of awarding first honors were (1) manner of delivery, (2) diction, (3) poise and self-possession. All the essays on program were of unusual merit and well delivered by the students. The other essays on program in order of percentage were by Mr. Herbert Ford Foster, Miss Lawrence, and Miss Emory. A percentage base of 300 points was used, Miss Howell scoring 275 points for first honor, which is a quarter-year tuition good in any school or college in Minnesota. The judges were, Mrs. George Gooden, Attorney W. T. Francis and Dr. L. R. Hill. Cause Stated Mr. Raymond Cannon, national president of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, gave a splendid address on the "Go to High School, go to College" movement and the part the fraternity is playing in the welfare of the race. Stress was placed on the necessity of young people securing a college education. A solo was rendered by Mr. B. H. Miller. Mr. Elmer A. Carter, secretary of the Urban League, spoke on the "Value of a College Education," pointing out the need of college training. Mr. S. Ed Hall also dwelled on the advantages of the modern youth to the youth of his time. Rev. L. W. Harris made the closing remarks eulogizing the splendid work of the organization. Mr. C. Jones presided at the meeting; Mr. Mason Fields awarded the prize to Miss Howell, who is also a honor student at Central high school. The text of Miss Howell's prize essay is as follows: WHY SHOULD I GO TO COLLEGE? In June I shall have finished another chapter of my life—my four years in high school. Yet I am by no means ready to start out in the world, for were I suddenly thrown on my own resources, I wouldn't know THE NORTHWESTERN ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1924 Memorial Day Dedicated to the Memory of thousands of Race Soldiers who gave their lives that this nation should not perish. Their valor, though marked with tragedy, shall be an everlasting monument to the part played in preserving these United States where or how to start. I have neither a foundation nor any well defined plan to begin on. I am going to college to get the training which will enable me to make the best possible use of my life. Today it has become almost a necessity that one be well prepared for his or her life work, and when I am a woman, I must either be prepared to compete with men and women who know what they want and just how to go about to get what they want, or be barred by my own ignorance and disability. It is a surety that all the worth-while, successful people will judge me very closely, not by what I know or have, but by the use I make of knowledge, and by my own usefulness to them and the world in general. As I am, just fresh from high school, I'm not of much use to anybody. I have only half an education and a little knowledge is very often worse than none. My parents offer me the opportunity to learn more, and it would be a sin—a neglected duty not to make full use of the opportunity of further developing the intellect that God has given me. A college education will give me that grip on myself which I now lack—a knowledge of my powers and limitations, besides a firmer character, made stronger and more efficient through mental training. The high school graduate who begins her life work without further preparation will get a good position, and, without a doubt, if she is intelligent and willing to work hard, will quickly be promoted to higher and better paid positions. She may climb way ahead of the college woman who will have to begin at the bottom. Still a day will come when the high school girl will come to the end of her resources, because she lacks the necessary preparation to fit her for the very highest goal. At the same time the girl with college training will not come to the limit of her ability so soon. She will have the mastery of her business so well in hand—she will know just how it should be carried on so well that she will never hesitate to tell what she knows. God's help. I hope to gain (Continued on Fare 3) CLEMENCY GIVEN TO IMPRISONED 24TH INFANTRY CLEMENCY GIVEN TO IMPRISONED 24TH INFANTRY The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, made public a letter from John W. Weeks, U. S. Secretary of War, dated May 13, reporting that the prison sentences of every former member of the 24th Infantry, still imprisoned for alleged participation in the Houston riot of 1917, had been reduced. According to the present revisions of sentences, every one of the men will be eligible for release, some immediately, some within a year, and all within the next four years. Secretary Weeks stated that he considered the War Department "has been most liberal in its treatment of the prisoners," especially since 30 of the men had been sentenced for life. To summarize the above letter the facts, in brief are; 18 of the Houston martyrs are eligible for immediate release; 16 of them, 10 serving life sentences and 6 long terms, will be eligible for release within a year; 16 will be eligible for release early in 1927; and the remaining four early in 1928, or three years and seven months from now. The men were committed to Leavenworth prison in December, 1917, and have thus served six years and five months. While the results obtained thus far are not all for which the N. A. A. C. P. and co-operating agencies hoped and worked for, nevertheless, there is cause for rejoicing in that those who have the longest sentences yet to serve have only three years and seven months. The N. A. A. C. P. and those agencies which worked so faithfully in this effort yet feel that full pardon which was asked for should have been granted these men. It is noted from Secretary Week's letter that: "Under a role of the War Department governing the subject, the case of every military prisoner is considered for clemency at least once each year, and neither the recent investigation by the board of officers, nor any action taken upon its recommendation, will preclude the consideration annually of the case of each one of the prisoners involved." Local Man Slated for Fire Captain at Hose Company 9 Scaling the rungs of of a 300-foot ladder at a perilous fire may be one of the daily duties of any fireman besides other difficulties confronted by him from time to time. However, Lieutenant Henry C. Jones of Engine Co. No. 9, located at Edmund and Marion streets, finds time in his leisure hours to climb the ladder of life which leads to success. His grit and determination will enable him to reach that goal while others become discouraged and turn back. On the ninth day of April, 1924, Lieutenant Jones was one of over a score of applicants who took the Civil Service examination for Captain in St. Paul Fire Department. Out of this number seventeen qualified, among them being Lieutenant Jones, who now ranks fifth on the eligible list to supply this position. Only four applicants made a higher rating than he, consequently he is right in line for this position. He is the only one of our group that has ever passed the Civil Service examination for this position in the history of St. Paul. Serves Fourteen Years. Almost thirty years ago Henry Craddock Jones arrived in this city from Selma, Ala., where he attended Knox Academy. He entered Mechanic Arts high school, graduating in the class of 1900. Shortly afterward he decided to take the examination for city fireman, was successful and was appointed to serve with Supply Hose Co. No. 22, then stationed at Front and Matilda street, in 1909. This company was changed to an Engine Company October 8, 1912. During this time Lieutenant Jones served in the following capacities, pipeman for three years, assistant engineer for seven years. Still eager to forge ahead, he took the examination for Lieutenant, which he passed, but owing to certain technicalities, his name was stricken from the list of eligibles. At that time a clause in the Civil Service Ruling stated that engineers and assistant engineers were not permitted to take promotional positions. Later on this was rectified. Promoted to Lieutenant. Still undaunted, he remained in his position of assistant engineer and after a lapse of two years he again took this same examination, was vic- Holy Land Trip by Mme. Walker Co. Nears End Indianapolis, Ind., May 24.—The offer made by the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. of this city to send three ministers on a free trip to Palestine and another to Paris, France, is soon to be fulfilled. The nation-wide contest in which the trips are to be awarded is fastly drawing to a close. But five short weeks of the race remain to be run and then, July 1, the world will know the winners of these matchless travel prizes. Three hundred fifty-eight ministers were nominated to the contest and have made it the biggest thing of its kind ever attempted by Negro business. Boost Your Favorite. Boost Your Favorite. Many have proved themselves good campaligners and set dizzy paces for the others. Contestant has rivaled contestant; city has fought against city; state against state; district against district—all in friendly, but no less determined, competition. Friends have rallied to support their favorite. Churches, Lodges—entire cities, organized to put their candidate over and in these last and hottest days of the contest an appeal goes up from them and the candidates to rally round your own. Do your bit. Help send your favorite contestant on a 10,000-mile tour to Palestine free of cost to him. A broadcast warning urges all coupons to be in to the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co., by midnight, June 30th. DR. TURNER ENTRTAINS OMEGA PSI PHI "FRAT" Dr. Valdo Turner, who recently became a member of Xi Chapter, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, entertained the chapter Saturday at his home. Whist and the Radio were the chief features of entertainment, though near midnight a very delicious lunch was fittingly served by the Misses Joyce and Bonaparte. Preceding the evening entertainment, Dr. L. R. Hill, district representative of the Grand Basileus, read Attorney De Vaughn into Xi Chapter with a very impressive ceremony. T. E. H. HENRY C. JONES torious making his grade with a higher average than in the preceding test. He received his appointment over four years ago and has held it with a good, clean record. The eligible list for Captain will be in force for one year. Should no vacancies occur during that period, the time will be extended. If Lieutenant Jones does not receive an appointment then he will be permitted to take another examination. On the 30th day of September he will complete fifteen years of active service. At the present time Captain W. R. Godette heads Engine Co. No. 9. He was promoted for long and meritorious service. Two vacancies have occurred in this company recently. Wm. Mitchell, engineer, resigned when he moved to California. Arthur Botts died last August. They have never been filled because there are no men on the eligible list to supply these vacancies. The fire department offers excellent opportunities for our young men, who should become interested and take advantage of these Civil Service examinations, where one always receives justice and honor, along with a remuneration that is worth while. Even though there may be months of waiting, when the time comes to fill a vacancy, let us be able to push men from our own group who will fill it creditably and efficiently. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Shop Every Week in the Bulletin-Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS NEW MEMBERSHIP DRIVE IS STARTED IN MINNEAPOLIS Mill City N. A. A. C. P. Will Give One Week to Increase Roster of Branch. The Membership Drive of the Minneapolis Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will begin June 1st and continue until June 7th, inclusive. An effort will be made during this same week to collect all outstanding pledges. Miss Marguerite Vinegar, Mrs. Mabel Preston and Mrs. Ruth Walker have been duly authorized to solicit memberships and collect pledges during the week of the drive. The Branch is making a special appeal to every Minneapolitan to take out a membership if you have never done so, or to renew the old membership if you have allowed it to lapse. The National Conference of the N. A. A. C. P. will be held in Philadelphia from June 25th to July 1st, inclusive. The National office has assessed our Branch two hundred and fifty ($250) dollars as our apportionment for 1924. This amount will be our contribution for the year towards the general expenses of the National office. Efforts Broadcasted In view of the country-wide advertising that the Minneapolis Branch recently received from Mr. Robert W. Bagnall's report to the New York office, it is naturally expected by the National office and the various branches that we will make a very creditable showing at the National Conference in June in both membership and finance. In his report after returning to New York City, Mr. Bagnall emphasized the splendid speaking engagements he had among white groups while in Minneapolis last month. Special mention was made of his address before the members of the Civic and Commerce association at their luncheon in the dining room of the West hotel, his address before the members of the Gymal Doled club at a luncheon in their beautiful club rooms, and his address before the members of the Saturday Lunch club in the lower auditorium of the First Unitarian church. His address before a group of ladies at the home of Mrs. James Paige, a woman of wealth and high social prominence in Minneapolis, who is very active in civic and social service work in our city, was one of the other big features of Mr. Bagnall's visit, and also were his addresses before the student bodies of North High and West High schools.

With the in mind, our voters are prepared to oppose not present an administration, devoid of the beneficially to the people as citizens and superiority. It is the opinion of thinking people that mold and crystalize the sentiment which governs others. The character of this sentiment may be attributed to the trend of thought possessed by the thinker. Whether or not the ruling power shall be vested in a few is dependent upon the attitude taken by those responsible for that ruling power. No matter whether it be village or nation, responsibility for the service of men placed in office is fixed upon their electors. If executives do not have such qualifications so as to make their regime a beneficial one and such facts are known to the voting public, every person who helps place them in office is equally culpable and responsible for their administration. With these facts in mind, the voters of our group place the coming state election in that important light it should be taken. They are realizing the responsibility each true and loyal citizen faces to help see to it that government is and administrative process that functions best when made for all the people. There can be no real government unless those responsible for that government be fair in mind, honest in purpose and judicious in reasoning. The part we are to play in this particular state election is of great importance. In view of the voting strength of our group the necessity of a concerted action, in the proper direction, is obvious. Unfortunately, we have recently faced a disastrous situation from within; the situation of having men of our group assume the role of political barons, truthfully Curb Stone Politicians, to secure a little ready cash for personal benefits. Realizing that this situation is prevalent, it has been comparatively easy to capitalize the unlearnedness of some citizens. It is our specific duty to warn the voters of our group against false, inconsistent and derogatory influence exercised by the unscrupulous, petty, vote-seeking politician. The ballot is the one thing that the Negro uses as effectively as his white neighbor. The effectiveness of this ballot is dependent upon its correct usage. The correct usage may be attributed to the skill and knowledge of the possessor. Then it is highly necessary that every voter of our group be conscious of the duty of citizenship devolving upon him. Every citizen interested in the success and welfare of this state, of which he is a part, must conserve his better ability toward that end. He must believe in the integrity of his candidate and weigh carefully the opinions of others. It should become his duty to know the why of things, their truth and the purpose of the perpetrator. These and many other things are component parts of good citizenry. Such citizenry that develops a village into a town; a town into a city, and a city into a metropolis, and will keep Minnesota in the van of progressive states. The various candidates seeking the support of the people must take cognizance of the fact that men and measures are the selling features of the platforms we support. Promises and stump-speech programs will not suffice. Such theorize beautifully but when forgotten when office is secured they become as nothing. We believe that more recognition is due qualified men of our group when appointive places are being filled. It should not be a question of race, color or creed, but efficiency, ability and character that determines who shall render service to the state. We will not support any candidate who is biased in his opinion that one people by reason of color are superior or inferior to another. A such candidate cannot render good service to the people when his thinking serves to benefit one specific group. The foundation of all good is the power to measure facts for their face value, no matter who they may be presented by. With these thoughts paramountly in mind, our voters are prepared to oppose any candidate who cannot present an administration, devoid of favoritism, that will serve beneficially to the people as citizens and not the people by race superiority. Kin Can't Spring Trap on Prisoner Kin Can't Spring Trap on Prisoner New York.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has received assurance from the governor of Arizona that no white private citizen will be allowed to spring the trap at the execution of the convicted Negro murderer of his son. When it was reported that H. Grosh, a white man whose son had been murdered by a Negro, was to be allowed to spring the trap at the Negro's execution, the association telegraphed to Governor G. W. P. Hunt protesting at such an "atrocity on American soil," substituting private vengeance for execution by the state. The N. A. A. C. P. in reply received the following telegram: "Report that Grosh, father of murdered boy, is to spring trap at execution of Negro convicted of his son's murder is untrue.

Atlanta, Ga.—For some time there has been a tendency on the part of a great number of southern white churchmen as well as northern white churchmen together in an endeavor to come to some common understanding anent the question of dealing with the so-called Negro problem. In an effort to ascertain the attitude of southern white Baptists on the matter, it was brought before the convention here last Wednesday by the executive committee. The convention voted its determination to handle the Negro problem in the South according to the southern white man's conception of how it should be handled without conference or consultation with the Northern Baptist Convention or any other organization. Many speakers declared that it was but a piece of impertinence on the part of northern white churchmen to endeavor to intrude themselves into the affairs of the South as respects the Negro.

Mattingly, one of the wealthiest farmers in this section of the state, died here, leaving an estate conservatively estimated at $100,000. No will has yet been presented for probate, and it is not known whether one was left among his belongings or deposited anywhere. As he is without known relatives, in the absence of a will, his estate would escheat to the state if none shows up. Like most Negroes of limited education, he had no idea of his age, but it was estimated by those with whom must have been close to 100 years old. He was born a slave on a Kentucky plantation and when the war broke out he ran away and enlisted in the Union army. Mattingly was a devout Catholic.

Leaders in the church point to the early active work of Presbyterians toward the emancipated slaes and point with some degree of pride to what the church of that day of later years did. They now observe, however, a tendency to switch the main interest of the church's work to foreign missionary fields, to the detriment of domestic work that might be taken up with much advantage. Of the 47 synods and 299 Presbyteries of the church in America, 4 synods and 16 Presbyteries, with 63 churches, constitute the Negro constituency of the church. The church has among Negroes 137 day schools with three outstanding colleges, 476 teachers and 18,000 pupils. It is claimed, however, that contributions and appropriations have been greatly reduced, despite the fact that the need is increasingly great. The emphasis in the church work is placed on that among the Italians, Czecho-Slovaks, Poles, Jews, Ruthenians, Russians and so forth. New work, leaders in the church are saying, for the Negro should be undertaken and fostered in large centers. New York City, it is pointed out, with upward of 200,000 Negroes in the Harlem district, has only two churches, with other large centers where there is no work being carried on. Reverend and Mrs. R. A. Broyles motored to St. Paul last week from Waterloo, Iowa, in their Moon sport model. Mrs. Broyles was formerly Mrs. Love, who resided at 305 Rondo street.

GIRL STUDENT I want more common sense, courage, self-confidence, and, more than anything else, self-mastery, for I must control my own mind, my own actions before I can master anything else. And as for self-confidence, if I have no confidence, no belief in myself, in what I can do, how can I expect others to trust in me. Courage will push me on to any goal I may seek, no matter what obstacles may arise. After four years at a college I should know quite a bit about my fellow creatures, for I will be brought in very close contact with them at all times, and at all times during life I must deal with people, so it would be behove me to study them well. For these reasons, I am going to college, and when my training is finished I should, if I have used my time and opportunity well, at length have a definite purpose, a well planned outline of my life, and the determination to make the very best of this life which God has given me. --- Greater Packing Capacity; Sturdier Construction; More Beautiful EXTRA | Russet or black bound $5.00 | EXTRA Pullman hat box, at... GARLAND LUGGAGE SHOP SIXTH STREET AT CEDAR ```markdown ``` Dale and University RACE EMPLOYES OF SHOE FACTORY ARE MAKING GOOD System Inaugurated in February by Eastern Concern Shows Splendid Record. A successful attempt to widen its employment opportunities for colored men and women has just been brought to attention by the Muskin Shoe Company of this city. On February 9 of this year this company organized a division in which it was planned that all processes of shoe making would be carried out by colored employees. Mr. Frank Jarker, 1209 Harlem avenue, who had gained a working knowledge of the shoe manufacturing trade in factories in Canada, was made manager of this department. Although all of the men and women taken into the plant had to be trained by Mr. Parker, the success of this department has been such that the company is making an addition to its building to take care of this division. When this addition is complete colored people will have an opportunity to engage in every operation in shoe making from cutting to finishing. Work Pays Well. Since work in shoe factories is generally piece work, colored employees will have the same wage scale as other workers. Some of the girls now in the plant are making $18 weekly, and some of the men are expected to develop their pay to $12 per day. Mr. Parker told a reporter that he could use a number of both men and women in this department, but what is wanted are steady men and women who want permanent employment. Mrs. Bella Vinson of Huntsville, Ala., passed through the city May 15 on her way to Vancouver, B. C., to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. Sayles Stewart, formerly of St. Paul.

Elsie Dugan screwed her face up into a knot and glared at her reflection in the mirror. With the palm of her hand she slapped the smooth surface of the glass once, twice, three times. “There! Take that and that and that!” she said, then crumpled up into a little heap and burst into tears. “Oh, Lord, why did you make me so ugly, and then give me a flapper's soul?” she moaned. Ordinarily Elsie was a cheerful, easy-going little Irish girl, but upon certain occasions all the rebellion in her nature flared up and she indulged in an orgy of despair. Suddenly she rose from the bed and ripped off her filmsy little evening dress. Rolling it ruthlessly into a ball, she threw it in the corner of the room. "And it took a whole month's salary to buy it! If you aren't a flapper, don't try to flap," she grimly advised herself. Then she walked across the room, recovered the poor little bit of green chiffon and taffeta and started smoothing it out. "It wasn't your fault. You tried to make me popular and make those silly fool men see me and dance with me, but—but it was too big a job for one little green dress." She talked to the garment as if it were some living thing that she had crushed and offended. "But it's all off, little flapper frock. We won't go to any more dances or parties or anything. We'll go to church and Sunday school and the rest of the time we'll stay right here at home and we won't try to compete with a whole bunch of bobbed-haired beauties who know this flapping game from A to izzard. Painfully practical, that's what I am—cut out to marry a middle-aged farmer with half a dozen savage kids left him by his first wife. Ugh!" She glanced at the clock on the dresser. "After one and I have to be at the office by eight." It was late the next afternoon that Frank Faulkner sauntered into her office. "H'lo, Elsie," he greeted with all the familiarity one employee has for another. "Saw you at the dance last night." Elisie flushed scarlet and looked down at her typewriter; then up again. "Yes, I had a beast of a time. I'm not cut out for social things. I'm off it all forever." "That's tough luck for me. I just came in to ask you to go to dinner with me tonight and we could take in a show afterward. Wish you could, Elsie." "Well, that's different," she told him. "I'd love to go if you want me, but I'm just not going to any more parties and dances." "Good. I thought you'd go with me. I'll wear my evening suit, if you say. I don't get many chances. And we'll go to a sure enough hotel and make believe we're big folk." They hugged together happily. "I think that would be great and I'll wear my little green dress." At six o'clock Elsie went down in answer to the doorbell and found her escort waiting for her. "Isn't this fun!" she said, her face lighted with happiness, "and oh, a taxi! You extravagant thing!" "I know, but this is our night." He helped her in with all the flattering deference of a real gallant and her heart jumped at the attention. "I feel like a princess," she laughed. Arrived at the hotel, they ordered many strange things they found listed on the menu, then spent blissful moments before the waiter returned wondering what they would be like. "Regular pig in a poke," smiled Elsie. It was a gay dinner. They laughed and chatted and joked and teased and felt like two children playing grownup. Afterward, he helped her on with Afterward as he helped her on with her wrap he said in boyish tones: "How would you like to drive out to the park and sit around the lake instead of going to a show? It's so hot tonight and besides I want to talk." "I'd love it," Elsie declared. "I wanted to suggest it, but was afraid you might have your heart set on some particular show." In the park by the lake it was cool and quiet. The moon hanging over the water threw a soft light over all. "You know, Elsie, I've got a lot I've wanted to tell you for ages. I've had a disappointing sort of a time. I'm only a bookkeeper, but I'm learning the cost of things and saving a little money and some day I'm going to start out on my own. I adore your red hair and your little fiery temper and your loyalty. If you could love a fellow just a little bit and let him be perfectly silly and write you wild love letters and write him some back and then marry him after a while—why—" He was holding her hand, and growing a little bolder, he slipped an arm around her. "Why, you're trembling. Surely I didn't frighten you, dear." "No, no," she murmured. "Just make wild love to me; do, Frankie, I've got a flapper's soul, but dreadfully humdum, practical outsides, and I've longed for—oh, do keep on saying wonderful, loving, crazy things to me!"

A winter cruise to the West Indies, in which white and colored races will participate on equal terms, is announced by the Aladdin Cruise Corporation of this city. Distinguished Negro leaders have welcomed the project as a great step forward in race co-operation and have promised to participate. The cruise will take 28 days, leaving New York on January 15, 1925, and returning February 12. Eight stops will be made at the principal points of interest in the West Indies --- THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPEAL FAMOUS DINING CAR ON THE "ORIENTAL LIMITED" THE TRAIN PREPARING YOUR FOOD ON THE FAMOUS TRAIN CHEF NOTICE!

Some of the stops include two days ashore and some but one day. The United American Liner, Mount Clay, has already been chartered for the cruise. It will be taken out of North Atlantic service at the end of the regular passenger season and completely refurnished and reducated in uniform cabin style, assuring the very best of accommodations for the cruise passengers. Nearly 100 four-passenger cabins are to be used as two passenger cabins, which means more room and a better time. There will be no second-class or third-class.

The Mount Clay is one of the few trans-Atlantic liners carrying the American flag. Mefore the war it had a distinguished name in the German merchant marine. The Aladdin Cruise Corporation has engaged Dr. John Louis Hill, author of "When Black Meets White," as director of the cruise—a mission which he accepts gladly, for such a cruise as this has long been one of his cherished dreams. Besides his literary work, Dr. Hill is a great traveler, having participated in many educational cruises and tours, often as a director. "I am a strong believer in this means of travel," he says, "because it adds to the broadening effect of sightseeing, the influence of companionship. In my book, I lay down what I believe to be the principles of race co-operation and mutual respect. But talk will not solve the difficulty and I believe the time is ripe for an epoch making event like this as an evidence that we do what we say. Its success, in my opinion, will cause other barriers to tumble." The West Indies was the first part of the new world touched by African migration and it is here that Negroes have lived longest under western influence and, in many respects, command the greatest importance. The trip will afford a chance to get acquainted with colored population. SCHOCH GOOD THINGS TO EAT COME AND SEE THE MOST UP-TO-DATE MARKET IN THE NORTHWEST.
