Local Branch Completes Elaborate Plans for Entertainment of National Body. (Associated Negro Press) Columbus, Ohio, July 21—The Columbus Branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians is making elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the Fourth Annual Convention of the national organization. The meetings will be held on July 25th, 26th, and 27 at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church. This promises to be the biggest convention that the association has held since its organization. Letters from all parts of the country received by the local committee indicate the great amount of interest which musicians are manifesting in this meeting. Columbus is determined to show the delegates that northern hospitality is just as great as southern hospitality. The convention was held in Nashville, Tennessee last year and the people of that city spared no means in making the visitors feel that they were welcome. Columbus expects to "go Nashville one better." "We are anxious for the musicians of the country to realize that Columbus really appreciates them and the great work which the association is doing for the race," said Mr. J. Cleveland Lemons when interviewed by a representative of the Associated Negro Press. Mr. Lemons is president of the Clumbus Branch. "If it said," continued Mr. Lemons, "that there are more colored musicians in Columbus than in most cities. Whether this is literally true or not, we do not know, but we do know that the people of this city have a high appreciation of high-type music and are interested in any organization which is laboring for the advancement of this type. We shall certainly do all within our power to make the convention a success." Special Cars To League Convention Special Cars To League Convention League Heads Get Special Cars from Roads for Delegates to Meet in Norfolk. (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., July 21—In an effort to improve railway travelling conditions in the South, the transportation committee of the National Negro Business League has been taking up with various Southern railroads the matter of travel to and from Norfolk, where the League convenes August 16-17-18. The passenger departments of various roads, including the L. & N., Gulf Coast Line, Atlanta & West Point, Southern, and Norfolk and Western, have agreed to do all in their power to assure comfortable transportation for the league members, and urged that persons intending to visit the League at Norfolk make application providing pullman accommodation are desired at as early date as possible before starting the journey. Persons who are planning to go to the Norfolk meeting should take advantage of this opportunity and be certain to request tickets on the certificate plan so that the reduced fare offered may be secured. Any additional information desired can be secured from the transportation agent, Claude A. Barnett, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago. Thomasville, Ga., July 21—Sheriff Davis went to Flint to arrest Jim Nelson, a colored man, charged with killing another colored man in Boston in 1914. He missed Jim, but instead ran into Frank Nelson, Jim's brother, wanted for killing his wife with a hoe about 20 years ago. The offense was mummified so long ago that Nelson probably thought it had been forgotten, for he displayed genuine surprise when arrested. HOUSTON EDITOR LOSES FIGHT; 2D TRIAL IS DENIED HOUSTON EDITOR LOSES FIGHT; 2D TRIAL IS DENIED Court Denies New Trial to C. F. Richardson, Charged with a Petty Offense. EDITOR IS FINED OVER $200 FOR ABUSIVE TALK Witness Testified That Officer Acted as if he was a "Wild West Desperado." (Associated Negro Press) Houston, Texas, July 21—C. F. Richardson, editor-publisher of the Houston Informer who was fined $100 and costs in the corporation court on two charges, operating his car without tail-light and using abusive language to officers, and who appealed his cases to the county court-at-law and was fined $1 and $100 and costs in the cases, respectively, lost out last Friday when the court over-ruled his attorney's motion for a new trial. He paid the fines, which amounted to $207.05, which stand perhaps as the heaviest penalty ever imposed upon a person in Texas for such a petty offense. At both trials several reputable and reliable citizens, all of whom were present at the garage where the alleged abuse occurred, testified that Editor Richardson did not abuse nor swear at the officer, but that the officer entered the garage cursing and threatening the editor's life and endowed to raise a "rough house." One witness testified that the officer entered the garage waving and flourishing "his revolver like a desperado in the wild west picture shows." Funeral Directors To Meet in Norfolk Funeral Directors To Meet in Norfolk "On to Norfolk" is Slogan of Undertakers Planning for Big Meeting in August. (Associated Negro Press) Memphis, Tenn., July 21—The National Negro Funeral Directors and Embalmers Association are planning some progressive efforts to correct abuses which they state exist in the undertaking business. A vigorous movement is on foot to have a majority of the 800 undertakers in the country attend the annual meeting which will be held at Norfolk in conjunction with the National Negro Business League. Secretary Wayman Wilkerson states he expects the largest conference in the history of the association and that the keynote will be "A Better Day for Undertakers," Just what this holds out to prospective customers, he does not say. "Organization gets results", says Pres. Franklin. The average community has three times as many undertakers as necessary and new ones opening every day. "Secret Societies boasting big bank accounts make us wait for from two to eight months on our bills. In many places the white undertakers get all the best funerals and suburban store-keepers sell caskets, and pay no license, while we pay from $100 to $500. By organization we can change these conditions, so we say, 'On to NORFOLK.'" LOCAL BUSINESS MAN DIES AFTER ILLNESS James D. Ford, 30 years old, of the firm of Oakes-Sydes-Ford, toilet preparation manufacturers, died last Friday evening at the City Hospital of Bright's Disease. Although Mr. Ford had been ill for sometime his death was unexpected. MF. Ford had been a resident of St. Paul for many years, during which time he made many friends. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon from Bemorial Baptist church; Rev. J. W. Harris officiated. (Associated Negro Press) Constantinople, July 21—Constantinople harem attendants have gone on a strike for more money and for shorter hours. Many of the capital's finest harems have been left ungarded and their owners are trying distractedly to find substitutes for the strikers. Numbers of Russian refugees have volunteered their services, but it was found they were not fitted for the job. The strikers insist that their "24 hour day" and the unceasing vigil they are required to keep on the women of the hares justify better renumeration, especially during the present hard times. Many protest that their wages have not been paid for more than a year. The fact is that their masters, who in most cases are officials or employees of the government, have not drawn any salaries for months. The strikers include block ennuchs and other attendants. Garvey Disappoints Louisville Public U. N. I. A. Chief Fails to Speak Before Louisville Audience As Was Advertised. Louisville, Ky., July 21—Marcus Garvey, president and promoter of the Negro Universal Improvement Association, was billed to speak in this city Tuesday night at Lyon Garden. The local committee made extensive preparations for the occasion. Special advertisement was scattered broadcast throughout the city. His coming was announced from the pulpits and through the newspapers. Tuesday afternoon, a parade, headed by a brass band, moved over the city to do honor to the coming noble king. A picnic was arranged for the afternoon, and about 500 persons gathered on the ground. Many among the crowd asked where and when Mr. Garvey would arrive the answer was passed around that he would arrive about the time of the opening of the night session, which was satisfactory to those who came early. The night session was opened after some delay and when other speakers were introduced, some explanations had to be made. It was then said he missed his train, and might arrive before the conclusion of the program He did arrive, however, and on schedule time. But for some reason his stay was brief, notwithstanding he was billed to speak. He came in at the Tenth St. depot, got a taxi for Lyon Garden, did not get out on his arrival and was driven immediately to the 7th St. depot, where he took a C. & C. train. Thus, about 700 people who had gathered to hear him were disappointed and why, no one assumed the responsibility to say. The people were not alone, even the local promoters were equally as much at sea. Meanwhile, the "Back to Africa" movement got a set back in Louisville, while it is doubtful whether Mr. Garvey ever can get right again. African Princes Go Sightseeing in "Gay Paree" (Associated Negro Press) Paris, France, July 21— Twenty-seven Negro princes from West Africa arrived in Paris yesterday on a sightseeing expedition after a busy week at the colonial fair in Marseilles. They were met at the station here by a number of government officials. LateF on they will be received in audience by President Millerand STATES WILL NOT SEND PRISONER TO GA. LYNCHERS To Write Weekly Articles For Us PETER H.

Mr. Scurry is a former member of the faculty at Tuskegee Institute of which Robert R. Moton is principal. He has made a careful study of the problems affecting the Negro railroad employee. His articles give promise to be of interest to the public. Vacating of Santo Domingo Proposed Vacating of Santo Domingo Proposed State Department Plans to Remove Troops if Dominicans Are in Favor of Project. (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., July 21—The state department has announced that a tentative program for evacuation of Santo Domingo by American military forces had been agreed upon with a group of Dominican leaders who have been in Washington some months on their own initiative in conference with department officials. The program will be carried out, the statement said, "as soon as it can be ascertained whether it meets with the approval of a majority of the Dominican people." The department further announced that Summer Welles of New York, former chief of the Latin American division of the department, has been appointed commissioner to the Dominican republic with the rank of envoy and minister and would leave immediately for the island to ascertain the views of the population on the American withdrawal plan. Four-Year Old Child Found Strangled To Death; Man Is Held Andrew Jackson, 45, negro, is held by Minneapolis police in connection with the death of Myrtle Williams, 4-year-old negro girl. The child's body was found on the Mississippi river bank yesterday between 4th and 5th aves. s. Death was said to have been due to strangulation. Jackson's arrest came after another child in the neighborhood told police the little girl had gone to the store with a man to buy candy. Police are watching the jail carefully to prevent attempts to mob Jackson. No civilians are permitted to enter the jail. PRICE, 5 CENTS BERS NOT SEND GA. LYNCHERS Governor Davis of Ohio Refuses to Honor Extradition Papers from Georgia. MAN WHO ESCAPED MOB SOUGHT IN CLEVELAND Evidence Insufficient Governor Davis Finds and Declines Georgian's Request. Rome, Ga., July 21—Declaring that Henry Maxwell, colored youth, held in connection with the killing of a white merchant, would be a victim of "southern mob justice", Governor Davis of Ohio, last week, refused to honor extradition papers from Georgia. The action, which has few parallels in the country was announced here last week when a Georgia sheriff returned empty-handed after having traveled thousands of miles to get the prisoner. Maxwell, who was recently arrested in Cleveland, is wanted by Georgia authorities on a charge of killing George Hubbard in 1917. Following the killing, feeling was intense, when it was found that authorities had claimed Maxwell as the killer. The youth escaped, however, and traveled through many different sections of the country. When arrested in Cleveland, he was recognized as the man wanted in connection with Hubbard's death, and the Ohio authorities notified the local police that a suspect was being held. Sheriff Wilson, with two other men, were sent to Cleveland. According to Wilson, Judge Levin, of the County Court at Cleveland, ruled that the identification was sufficient, but counsel for Maxwell prevailed upon Governor Davis to decline the request for his return to Georgia. Gov. Davis, after a careful reading of the records in the case, refused to grant extradition on the grounds that there was not sufficient identification and feared that if Davis was taken to Georgia he would be lynched. Mexican Declares All Women Bad: Shoots His Wife Hillsboro, Ill., July 21—Starting out to "make the world better" by killing all the women, Andy Ruiz, a Mexican laborer of Taylor Springs, killed his sister-in-law and dangerously wounded his wife yesterday. Today timber land near here is being scoured by the sheriff's force in search of Ruiz. Ruiz left a note, which in part was translated as follows: "I will shoot this woman because all women are bad and all men are good." The shooting took place at the home of the sister-in-law who was killed. Her fate would have been shared by Mrs. Ruiz, the man's wife, police say, had the revolver not refused to work. After pulling the trigger twice, the man then grabbed the gun by the barrel and poured his wife's head until she was unconscious. She is in a local hospital today with dangerous wounds in her head, which required thirty-eight stitches to close. LAST RITES OF KANSAS MAN HELD IN MILL CITY The funeral services of John Jennings, 69 years old and a former resident of Kansas City, Kansas for 40 years, who died Friday morning at the home of his son Charles Jennings, 616-6th Ave. No., was held at Bethesda Baptist church, Monday at 3 p. m.

There will For sometime we have been watching the activities of our ministers, and find it rather amusing to notice strides taken by some of them to do work entirely out of their lines. Some of them have a persistent desire to take on burdens which their training does not include. Of course, it is not only here but throughout the country we find our preachers trying to do too much that is out of their line of endeavor. They are active in commercial matters, political affairs and other lines of endeavor that should be relinquished to better trained hands. They seem to forget that there are others better equipped to deal with matters outside of the church—that their work does not cover the whole catalogue of race endeavor. Ordinarily, if we want to buy a house, we go to a real estate dealer; if we are ill, we do not go to a dentist, but to a physician, thereby seeking one who specializes in this particular line of endeavor. This is an age of specialist, and ministers like physicians must keep to their line of endeavor. The church must not get mixed up in political affairs, commercial affairs and civic affairs. Leadership applied along these lines by our preachers would be far more profitable if the same attention was given to the business of the church. There is plenty of work in the church for a real pastor to keep busy all the time. In the modern church, there is a great deal of social service and community work our preachers might do. This work while not strictly ministerial is good Christian work. Operating libraries, day nurseries, recreation centers and rendering other Christian services, for the promotion of good cheer, does much to elevate the church's place in the community. We are sure that more work of this nature and less effort on the part of our ministers to be leaders in other directions would lighten the burdens of some of our ministers besides giving to the race a more affective Christian leadership. The charges that Abraham Lincoln was responsible for the Civil War preferred particularly by the Daughters of the Confederacy and furthered by southern sentiment, the slur upon the great Emancipator in an article which recently appeared in the Crisis written by the pen of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, has caused no little comment in the public press of the country. We agree with Markham that Lincoln was a man made to meet the mortal need. His position in American history should always be paramount. In spite of his shortcomings and mistakes, he was a man and all o' that. Why Dr. Du Bois, a member of the black race, should join with Lincoln-despising-southerners in his views is incomprehensible. Most Americans have agreed that Lincoln was one of the most remarkable figures in American history and the slams and slurs aimed at him today, cold and unjust as they are, must be disregarded and condemned. Men as a whole are better dressed than women, but there is no reason for their being so. If there is anything more than anything else afflicting American women it is the inclination to overdecorate themselves. Simplicity is the test of a well-dressed man or woman. CONTEMPORARIES se it is no surprise that the leading Demations are making a great howl about the fact administration to pass the Dyer Bill, and the tide by the Grand Old Party, both at Chicago is to be expected. The embarrassing feature of the whole matter is the statements made. Negroes all over the Republican party wrote into their platform as the "anti-lynching plank." This place the nominee, and in his acceptance address, a Of course it is no surprise that the leading Democrats and their publications are making a great howl about the failure of the Republican administration to pass the Dyer Bill, and thereby keep a pledge made by the Grand Old Party, both at Chicago and at Marion. This is to be expected. But the embarrassing feature of the whole matter is the burning truth of the statements made. Negroes all over this country know that the Republican party wrote into their platform a plank known to us as the "anti-lynching plank." This platform was handed to the nominee, and in his acceptance address, and we were at Marion, he said that he accepted the platform of his party. He not only accepted it, but in a separate paragraph he emphasized his opposition to lawlessness and lynchings, and denounced the latter as a disgrace to our fair land. So far, so good. In the light of his apparent sincerity, many Negroes went into the campaign with renewed zeal, hoping that Harding would be able to write into law his fervent declarations anent the lawlessness of the country. The northern states, where Negroes have recently come, were the pivotal states, and the Republican majority was due largely to the Negro vote in these states. But that is now history. Mr. Dyer introduced a bill which, if enacted into law, will help discourage the mob, and lessen lawlessness. The measure passed the House, and while in the Senate Committee it encountered every charge on the calendar, from Democrats and Republicans alike. The chief attack came in the form of a declaration that the bill is unconstitutional. This opened the way for more objections, and at this writing, the bill stands as something feebly attempted, and nothing more. Republicans must remember that the Negro did not exact any plank from them as an incentive for support. The party wrote the plank into the platform and published it. The party was committed from the date that was done. As for the Negroes, they are at the place where they care very little what the party does. If the bill is passed, even after all the delay we have suffered, the Negroes will never feel that it was done out of any consideration for them and their grievances. Not a bit of it. If the party is trying to hold that bill as a piece of bait for the Negroes in 1924, it is wasting time and energy. There will be no baits in 1924. It will be too late. —Pittsburgh Courier --- Page 2 Member ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS "First in Service" LINCOLN WHEN IT IS TOO LATE VACANT HOUSES IN THEIR grave solitude and desolation, vacant houses are pathetic reminders of empty minds, neglected and forgotten by those able to take best care of them. On old country roads you may often see such habitations, seemingly eager to proffer a smile of welcome, but quite unable to do it. Rank weeds are about the doors, the walls are weather-worn and stained, presenting altogether a sad picture. And these vacant houses started gayly in life; warm in friendship and love, full of hope and aspiration, dreaming of enduring usefulness and happiness. As the years rolled by they dreamed less and finally sank into a hopeless state of despondency. You may like vacant houses or not, but there they are, telling in a language of their own of the days that are departed and the joys that are done. And what happens to vacant houses happens in a far more lamentable way to empty minds, whose owners habitually neglect them, and pay for their disregard the sharpest penalties, at a time when their own reward should be munificent. If you are wilfully neglecting your mind, allowing the weeds to grow about the doorway, you will find some day that you are living in solitude in a dreary dwelling, from which your friends of old turn away in sadness. You were so self-reliant in your youth that you did not care to enlarge and beautify your thoughts. Gradually you neglected this important duty until the weeds grew and crowded out the flowers. Too proud to stand up straight and stretch out your arms to embrace knowledge, you sat down in idleness or shirked your opportunity. Being now your own witness and your own judge, there is alas! no possible escape from punishment. The world has moved on and left you behind in a wilderness of mold and darkness, where you have time to reflect and repent. But, be it known, whatever your age, you may yet improve your vacant house and make of it a thing of beauty. Women, as a rule, can do this more readily than men, yet men at forty and fifty have been known to form studious habits and flood their old vacant houses with light until its brilliancy illuminated up the whole world! Uncommon Sense By JOHN BLAKE SPENDING your days addressing to the world at large the question: "How do they do it?" is not going to bring you any information. You will see in your travels the banker, the railroad president, the painter, the author all respected, all useful, all getting a great deal out of a life that they have, each in their own way, made easier for others. You will read, perhaps, that this man started on a farm, that the other began as an office boy, that the railroad president once wiped engines on the line which he now rules. And if you are normal the question "How do they do it?" will occur to you very frequently. For these men will look much like other men; they will talk like other men. They will have the same interest in baseball scores and the outcome of a big prize fight. And it will be difficult for you to understand just what it was that placed them in the high positions they occupy, and kept them there. The answer to your question is fortunately not inaccessible. You can find out how they do it, if you try. Nearly all of them have written, or will write, exactly how they did it, or if they do not they will tell others who will put it on paper for you to see. And you will be very much surprised to discover that in most cases the one thing that did it was application and industry—in other words hard work. Geniuses are men apart. They don't know how they do it, and they can't tell. But successful business men and lawyers and doctors are not geniuses, they are merely men with good natural ability, and enough energy to keep working till they get what they are after. Study and read their biographies wherever you find them. They will answer for you a very important question. And if they can help you just a little toward exerting more energy and cherishing a little higher purpose, the time you spend in reading about them will be paid for at the rate of many thousand dollars an hour.

You'd think anybody would try to protect and aid those features which mean a great deal to one's good looks, wouldn't you? But doesn't it beat the Dutch the way these women abuse their eyes? Today I saw a woman with glasses oh, and to make things worse, both literally and figuratively, she had on a veil with thickly dotted meshes. An oculist is quoted as saying that every dot in a woman's veil meant a spare tire for some of his professional brother's cars, and it is nearly the truth, so far as financial cost goes. But we will wear our veils. If we are wearing them because of modesty, why not be like the Mohammedan woman who covers all but her eyes, and who send tourists back to America raving about those "Turkish eyes." Another thing, why if your eyes are "bum" don't you get an expert to look them over and prescribe lens suitable to correct the defect? Who started that business of going to a department store and picking out a "becoming" pair of spectacles, paying "$2.99" and walking out with a peer and a frown. There are more crows' feet and wrinkled foreheads due to no glasses or improper fitting than one could dream of. That song about "clear the darkened windows, open wide the door" is excellent inspiration in some things but don't use too much force in opening "the windows of your soul" each morning, or whenever you awaken, be morning or evening. It looks quite cunning and babyish in the movies to awaken. stretch out one's arms slowly and then sit straight up and rub one's eyes with both fists for several minutes. Pressure on the eye balls cause short-sightedness, also, inflames the eye and the lid. It's less picturesque, but infinitely more comforting to hop out of bed and dash one's eyes with moderately cold water. "Beauty naps" rest the eyes as well as help the rest of the body, and perpetual motion is all right in a scientific treatise, but is hard on the eyes. Thank heavens the day of the languid lily has gone forever. There was a day (before they knew what appendicitis meant) when the listless, clinging vine sort of a woman made a great hit with men, both in books and out. And right now, don't say "What does this lady mean by referring to men so often for Isn't she talking to women?" Yes, ma'm but if there were no men to appease and please, we should worry about beauty! Am I right? Then let me hear you sanction that? As I was saying, men did like you to flatter their vanity and call out their chivalry (?) by weeping copious tears on their stiffly starched bosoms. Tear stained eyes went like "more than 3 per cent." But those days is gone forever. A red-eyed woman is popular only with an oculist. Men will leave you to your tears, and solitude is no stage for a display of woe. Don't forget that lashes and brows are necessary for beautiful eyes, so don't clip or cut or "tweetie" unless you know that it is vital to further beauty. And do not extract a single hair by yourself. Go to a NILE QUEEN parlour and let one of those skilled operators do whatever is to be done. Avoid blue and black pencils and "mustache sticks" in your lashes and brows, or the few hairs you have will disappear. Now that "The Shiek" has made bronze beauties more to be sought after than riches, let's renew our pledge, to be NILE QUEEN beauties that will make the male population hate to die for fear there will not be anybody so good to look at in the next world. And that's not sacrilege, that's the truth! So help me, Cleo. ADVERTISE IN THE BULLETIN DR. L. R. HILL SURGEON-DENTIST 308 Court Block Cedar 6975 St. Paul DR. EARL S.

MAN GETS SIX MONTHS FOR ATTEMPTED LARCENY (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D.C., July 21—James Jackson, colored, alleged "pennyweighter" was sentenced to six months in pail on a charge of attempted larceny, having entered a jewelry store and attempting to substitute a 10-cent ring for a $100 diamond. Detective H. K. Wilson, who arrested Jackson, said that he was unable to find the ring Wilson was supposed to have made off with, although, the imitation ring was found. Asked how he came to put a full tray of valuable things in front of a man who was attired in worn clothing, Balneri said: "You can't tell how much a man has in his pocket these days by looking at his clothes."

TO A MAN'S HEART By ELSIE P. GILPATRICK. © 1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. A vast number of people still hold the opinion that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and Ruth Cameron must have believed it, because when she found Paul Hubbard hungry and disgusted with his boarding place, she took him home and cooked for him a roast chicken and escalloped potatoes and everything else to match. Inevitably, then, followed Paul's neglect of Nancy Barkalsd, whom he had been courting for a long time, and who, by her own telling, didn't known what the inside of a kitchen looked like. In her home a number of servants carried on the work behind the scenes, but Ruth had been reared under no such handicap. She could whip mashed potatoes to a fluffiness that made you afraid they might blow away, and beat a cake into a lightness that made it fit for someone who was much more of an angel than was Paul Hubbard. Paul was tremendously human. As his dinner invitations from Ruth multiplied, his evenings with Nancy diminished. Then the Jimmy Bentons, who were fond of Paul, took a hand in the affair, and asked him to board with them. "Now we'll see if he goes to call on that Cameron cook so often," chuckled Jimmy to Mrs. Jimmy. "After he eats your cooking three times a day, I'll bet Miss Rush loses her drawing card." But it was already too late, or Miss Cameron was too charming a cook, or something, because after that Paul paid her more attention than ever. Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy had a difficult time of it, trying to keep him home even when Nancy happened to be calling there. "I tell you, a fellow who works hard for a living ought to marry a girl that knows how to cook," he would declaim vehemently, as though someone were disputing him, and it soon became plain to everyone that he was intending to marry Ruth. Though he hadn't asked her, that young lady herself often made verbal speculations upon the style of wedding ring she preferred to her friend Marjorie. To help matters along, Mrs. Benton sprained her ankle and lost her maid the same day, and Paul Hubbard was obliged to go back to the dark, greasy inn for daily sustenance. After three days of trying to endure lukewarm vegetables and clammy salads, he decided to marry at once, and move into a cozy apartment right next to the Jimmy Bentons. That evening, on the Camerons' veranda, he talked and talked and talked, until almost every topic in the world was exhausted, except the one he was thinking of, and then, just as he got his chair moved closer, and his throat cleared, and his heart thumping violently, the telephone rang. Mrs. Benton was calling Mr. Hubbard. "I have found someone to help in the kitchen, so you may come back here for your meals tomorrow," she said. "Thanks, Mrs. Jimmy, you've saved my life." Paul felt so relieved that he lunged forward quickly to tell Ruth about it, but the hall was dark, and he stumbled headlong over a footstool. Ruth answered his groans by coming at once. She found him nursing a great welt on his shin. Somehow, after he had picked himself up and got back to the veranda and straightened his pompadour, he didn't feel so much like proposing, so he postponed it until Sunday afternoon, in his canoe, under the willows, and took his leave at 10 o'clock. In spite of her sprained ankle and her untrained kitchen help, Mrs. Benton's Sunday dinner was a great success. When Paul offered to serve the dessert, she gratefully sent him to the kitchen, where he saw a blue apron almost hiding a girl as she stood at the sink washing dishes. For a moment he stared, then he took big strides in her direction. "Nancy, what are you doing here?" For answer, Nancy looked frightened, and said nothing. "Nancy!" Paul's tone was very tender. "You weren't supposed to know it. I only came because Mrs. Jimmy said you were starving." Two strong arms kept Nancy from wilting, and a torrent of tender words made tears out of the question. "I've been starving for something better than food. Nancy, am I going to get it?" She held up her mouth for a kiss. From the dining room Jimmy Benton was heard calling loudly for his dessert, and so a lot of things which would have been very pleasant just then had to be put off until they went canoeing an hour later. "You were a darling to do all that for me, Nancy, and you know I never stopped loving you, only I got a crazy notion—Nancy, you're the sweetest girl in the world!" Presently they heard voices in a canoe which was still out of sight around the bend. To Paul one of them was unmistakable. "I tell you, I'll never cook for any man." "Shucks! Ruth Cameron, you don't mean that?" "I do mean it! I've had to cook and keep house all my life, and I'm sick of it. When I get married I want to live in a hotel." "Let's paddle back the other way," said Paul. "The river isn't very pretty up around the bend." NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN You Will Want One of These Homes 512 ST.

Page 4 Mexican President Welcomes Negroes President Obregon States There Will Never Be Color Line Across Rio Grande Los Angeles, Cal., July 21—"Mexico has no color line, and the Mexican constitution forbids race distinction on the ground of race, color, creed or degree of wealth." These were the words of President Obregon, head of the republic across the Rio Grande to a delegation of twenty-two Colored citizens of the United States headed by Hugh MacBeth, former Baltimorean, which visited him at the royal palace in Mexico City recently. The delegation, represented a corporation, which recently purchased 7,000 acres in Mexico for the purpose of forming a colony of colored citizens from the United States, has just returned to this city according to the California Eagle. At Ensada, Mexico, the delegation was welcomed by the mayor, who said: "Mexico offers the greatest opportunity and future to any people on the face of the earth. We are inviting the American Negro to come and cast his lot with us, not because we know that he is mistreated, and unjustly dealt with in his own land, but because we believe that in the development of commerce, agriculture, and trade in our own country, he will be fair enough to take some and leave some, and not try to take all as some Americans have done in past years." President Obregon received the delegation cordially at the "Mexican White House" and promised his aid to the colonization scheme. Especially as he pleased with Mr. MacBeth's declaration that his company was not coming to Mexico to exploit it, but to become citizens in it, and bring to it all their wealth, ability and effort in order to assist in making it one of the greatest nations on earth. CATERER VISITS ST. PAUL Mr. Fred D. Thomas, caterer of Portland, Oregon, was a visitor in St. Paul for four days last week. Mr. Thomas is enroute to the East and from there on to Alabama, his former home. He is making a tour of the Northeast, Southeast and Middle West that is expected to last about two months. Mr. Thomas is a caterer to wedding dinner parties, banquets, and picnics served anywhere in the state of Oregon. He is one of the organizers of the Bethel A. M. E. church in Portland and has been Chairman of the Trustee Board of that church for over twenty-five years. He is also a thirty-third degree Mason. Mr. Thomas left Wednesday night for Chicago. Atlanta, Ga., July 21—Edward Freeman and Will Pinkerton, two colored convicts made a spectacular escape Monday morning from the road gang near Center Hill, after overpowering and disarming Guard D. M. Pittman. Freeman had served eight years of a 20-year sentence for burglary, while Pinkerton was serving an eight-year term for robbery, having completed about two years of the sentence. They have not been captured. Somebody Wuz Sayin' that— The news that Bill's wife is to go to St. Louis, gives promise to some long looked for action from the "Three Musketeers." Theres a certain lady hailing from Louisville, Ky., who is finding St. Paul to be a city possessing more real-honest-to-goodness pleasure than her home port. Now that "Inky" Strong and Oliver Brown have discovered that "Zeals" wears trousers, their duel has been called off. They wonder how William Clark could win a second prize in a married men's race when he has never had a marriage certificate in his hand during his entire existence. (But they gave him second prize at the picnic, just the same.) If some-one would stop to count the folks in this town who hate to say good-bye to a dollar, the exceptions would run in fractions. Speaking sportively, the Uptowns came from behind their jinxs and won a ball game last Sunday just because in the book of fates, Uptown's day was Sunday July 16th. WILLS KNOCKS OUT JEFF CLARK IN THIRD ROUND Winnipeg, July 17—Harry Wills kayoed Jeff Clark in three rounds here tonight. Outweighing his opponent by fully forty pounds and having advantage of length and of reach, Wills made a veritable punching bag of Clark, who only laid a glove on Wills once during the three rounds. Wills impressed with his speed, science and hitting. He knocked Clark down once in the first round and three times in the third before the referee made the count of ten. Over 5,000 gave Wills a big reception, but the bout was not much better than an exhibition. Mike McNulty of St. Paul refereed. JACKSON SIGNS TO MEET WILLS ABOUT AUGUST 7 (Associated Negro Press) New York, July 21—"Tut" Jackson, giant boxer of Washington Court House, Ohio, signed to meet Harry Wills, challenger of Jack Dempsey, in a bout here about August 7.

GARBAGE HAULERS "WALK OUT" IN ALABAMA TOWN (Associated Negro Press) Birmingham, Ala., July 21—Nineteen colored city employees went on strike here Monday, demanding higher pay.

THE RIGHT THING at the RIGHT TIME By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE SPEAK TO FRIENDS DON'T be one of those careless individuals who walk along the streets with their heads bowed, forgetting to look up when they pass their friends. You will really find it a social acquisition if you cultivate the habit of keeping your eyes open, ready to greet your friends when you pass them in the street. You will acquire a reputation for friendliness and thoughtfulness that is quite worth while. It is especially the part of anyone who has lived for a long time in a community to recognize the newcomers. She should remember that it is harder for one newcomer to remember a hundred old residents than it is for each of the old residents to remember the newcomer. However, if you are the newcomer, make it your life work for a few weeks to remember the persons whom you meet in your new home town, for much of your future social success depends on recognizing the people you meet the next time you meet them. Many an undeserved reputation for smobbishness has been the result of carelessness about remembering new faces. And you can remember new faces and the names that go with them if you give your whole mind to it. (©, 1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
