DEATH RATE OF RACE TOO HIGH LIFTING :: :: :: :: LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—5c a Copy LOCAL AN OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE NEW HOME ON EASY PAYMENTS Jno. T. McDonald, Sr., Architect and Builder, Has Become a Pioneer In Home-Building Among Our Race. WORK BY NEGRO MECHANICS Carpenters, Plumbers, Painters, DeI corators, Plasters and Cement Workers All Employed on Job. Jno. T. McDonald, architect and builder, is a pioneer in a new field among our race in Omaha. He is building a number of strictly modern up-to-date, attractive 5-room houses which he is offering for sale at a lower price than our people have been paying for old run-down, semi-modern dwellings. These new buildings are wonderfully complete and are the last word in modern convenience. The Monitor was shown through three of these buildings which have been completed on Evans street just west of Thirtieth street, and one in course of construction at 2618 Binney. They were a revelation to The Monitor. Not only are they attractive, cosy and well-built houses, but they are in desirable neighborhoods. All the work on these houses has been done by Negro mechanics, with the erception of the electrical work as Mr. McDonald was unable to find any licensed electrician among our race in the city, so he informed The Monitor. There are electricians here but none have taken out licenses. All work has to pass inspection by the city building officials and the workmen have to be proficient. The Nebraska Plumbing Company J. F. Allison, manager, has the plumbing contract; the painting and decorating is in the hands of the Peoples Bros., James and Larry N.; the foundation, chimney and cement work is done by O. C. Banks; the carpenter work is done by J. F. Nunn, foreman Y. G. Logan, H. C. Dennis, Thomas H. Gooden, O. H. Travis and O. C. Banks; C. J. Irwin is the plasterer; the cement sidewalks are the work of Hugh K. Levelle and the excavating and grading is done by Charles Solomon. Mr. McDonald is himself a carpenter and bricklayer and is himself on every job. All of these workmen are regularly employed, others being used temporarily. The Haney Electrical Company has the contract for the electrical work. Mr. McDonald says, "For years I had a dream of building modern homes for our people, that they could buy at a lower price and as reasonable terms as they are compelled to pay for old dwellings, good, bad and indifferent. After much discouragement I have been able to put my plan in operation. I have adopted as my slogan, "Better Built Homes for LESS Money," and I think you will agree with me that they measure up to this slogan. I wanted also to furnish work for the Negro mechanics and workmen who are residents of Omaha. Having finished a course in structural engineering has given me an advantage in knowing how to construct large or small buildings from the foundation to chimney top and I knew that we had workmen here who could do the work. All of it has passed rigid inspection as you can see by the inspection tags placed here by the department of building inspection. I hope to finish a good number of these home between now and November. These three are finished and three more are under construction, and next week I expect to start three on the South Side. I feel confident that as soon as our people inspect these houses the demand for them will be --- THE MONITOR COLOI CYPIST MARVEL WITH DIAMOND MEDAL GIVEN BY UNDERWOOD Cortez W. Peters of Dunbar High School Has Proven His Ability by Capturing Prizes in Many Contests. (Columbian Press Bureau) Washington, D. G.,—April 17.—At a general assembly of the faculty and students of Dunbar high school, held last Monday morning, Cortez W. Peters was awarded the Underwood diamond medal emblem for accuracy and speed in a typing test given at the Washington office of the Underwood Typewriter Company on March 26. Mr. Peters is a graduate of the Department of Business Practice of Dunbar high school and in the test maintained a net speed of one hundred nine five-stroke words a minute for thirty minutes, the requirement to qualify being only one hundred words a minute. The medal is 20-K white gold, platinum-plate, with alternating diamonds and emeralds, and crown-set Mr. G. W. Ward, assistant manager of the Washington office of the Underwood Typewriter Company and the students' friend, presented the award and stated that Mr. Peters was the first student, and the only person in the District of Columbia ever to win it. Mr. J. C. Wright of Dunbar faculty, who discovered the latent typing ability of Mr. Peters and trained him, was awarded the corresponding Underwood teacher's diamond medal emblem. Mr. Peters also has won the Underwood gold button insignia of the Order of Accurate Typists; Remington gold pin and a Remington standard typewriter; Royal gold pin; Woodstock gold jewel pin; and is known among the boys as the "speed king typist." Under Mr. Wright's coaching he is now in training to enter the international typing contest for world's championship, to be held in New York next October. CITIZENS' MILITARY TRAINING CAMPAIGN Forty-nine hundred youths, from schools, farms and factories, scattered throughout the states of Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota will be enrolled this summer for the Citizens' Military Training Camps in the Seventh Corps Area, Lt. R. L. Williams announced today. This figure represents the largest number for civilian training assigned to any corps area. Camps will open August 1 and continue in operation throughout August. Every student is to be a volunteer and must pass the mental and physical tests adopted by the War Department. Students in basic courses will range from seventeen to twenty-four years. As a result of experience gained in conducting boys' camps during the past four years in all parts of the War Department plans numerous improvements designed to make the training and recreation programs more attractive to the young men at the 1925 camps. Admittance, however, will be under the same conditions as during other years, Lt. Williams said. Food, uniforms, railroad fare to camp and return, athletic equipment, and all camp facilities, besides medical and dental treatment while in camp are furnished by the government without expense to the student. It is planned to give individual attention to the physical training of each student to correct unfavorable tendencies in the growing youth. Data compiled from records of camps of previous years is now being studied by the War Department with this end in view. The object of these camps, Lt. Williams declared, is to bring together young men of high type from all sections of the country on a common basis of equality and under the most favorable conditions of outdoor life; to stimulate and promote citizenship, patriotism and American, and through expert physical direction, athletic coaching and military training, to benefit the young men individually. Lt. Williams urges all qualified colored men to take advantage of this opportunity. Mr. McDonald is building good houses, furnishing employment to a number of our people and should be generously supported in his laudable work. Persons contemplating the purchase of a home will learn much to their advantage by inspecting the cosy and attractive houses being built by this pioneer in a new field among us. NEBRASKA'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1925 ALL CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS ASKED TO GET BEHIND OF OMAHA WESTERN LEAGUERS Omaha Will Open Season Next Wednesday With Tulsa Oilers as Visitors. Omaha Out to Set Attendance Record J. Porter Allen, president of the winter, is in dandy shape and an even Showers APRIL COLORED SINGER HAS WONDERFUL CONTRALTQ VOICE A large number of Beatrice folks gathered at the A. M. E. church last Thursday evening to hear Mrs. Fanny Russell of Omaha, state president of the Colored Women's Federated Clubs, and a reader of note, who appeared in a recital. Mrs. Russell came in the interest of the state federation, which she represents, the proceeds of the entertainment were used by the local club as their apportionment to the state fund for building for aged colored people and orphans. She was well supported by local talent and presented a program that has not been surpassed in its line for some time in this city. Her numbers were of a heavy dramatic type and she portrayed unusual talent in her vivid word pictures, holding her audience in rapt attention from the first to the last line. Her selections were: "The Convict," "The Feast of Belschazzar," "The Maniac," and "The Gambler's Wife." Mrs. O. P. Washington delighted the audience with two vocal numbers, "Ma Curly Headed Baby" and "Who Knows" by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the colored poet. Her voice is clear and birdlike and she pleased her listeners very much. Mrs. Roscoe Weisner, wife of the minister, is an acom- On next Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock Omaha base ball fans will have the opportunity of greeting the Omaha pennant winning Western League Park, 15th and Vinton streets. The game will start promptly at 3:30, but there will be great festivities before the contest. These will take place at 3 o'clock On next Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock Omaha base ball fans will have the opportunity of greeting the Omaha pennant winning Western League Park, 15th and Vinton streets. The game will start promptly at 3:30, but there will be great festivities before the contest. These will take place at 3 o'clock. Barney Omaha fans should bear in mind in deciding to attend this game and the other games this season that the rather poor showing that the Buffalo have made so far this season is due not so much to having a mediocre team but rather to not getting the breaks so valuable in baseball. With a little bolstering which Burch promises to give the team, they will step right out in the winning column and are the summer closes we would not be surprised to see them safely resting again at the top rung of the league ladder. ficult numbers, "Militaire Polonaise" by Chopin, and "Juba Dance" by Nathaniel Dett, the colored composer. What might be termed the climax of the program, however, came when Miss Inez Gordon, contralto, sang "Jean", an old spirituel, by H. T. Burleigh, colored composer, and "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen." Miss Gordon has a rich contralto voice, deep and resonant, and is able to place the high notes with unusual ease and flexibility. The sweetness and beauty of her singing enthralled her audience, who showed their appreciation of her efforts with repeated bursts of applause, until she responded to an encore. Beatrice may well be proud of Miss Gordon, who has a voice inimitable and of rare beauty, the like of which is seldom heard outside the opera or concert stage. She was reared here and is a graduate of the Beatrice high school—The Beatrice Daily Sun. MAN FALLS FIVE STORIES, LIGHTS ON HEAD, LIVES Richmond, Va., April 24.—Davis Jones, aged 25 years, fell from the fifth floor of a hotel under construction here Thursday afternoon and landed on his head in a small pile of sand on the side walk below. Davis suffered a fractured skull, but physicians say that he will live. He did not lose consciousness, it is said. ORGANIZATIONS AS OMAHA WEST In Season Next Visitors as Visitors. On Attendance Rec Junior Chamber of Commerce, ably assisted by Secretary Hans Reis and Dick Grotte, is in direct charge of the opening day ceremonies and it is a real day the are planning. They are making a special effort to have all civic clubs attend the game in a body and they have especially tendered an invitation to the members of the Colored Commercial Club to be present with the many other clubs who will attend the game in a group. A pennant winning ball club is a great help and advertisement to a city and every one, irrespective of color or race should support Mr. Burch's organization. Mr. Reis, secretary of the club, told the writer a few days ago that he well appreciated the co-operation colored fans were giving the club and sincerely hoped that they would stand back of the boys again this season as in the past. One of the best bits of news that has emanated from Burch's office recently is the fact that Harry Loe, ace of the last year's pitching cops, has signed up and will again be with the team. Harry won 25 games for the Buffalofoes last year and as he has been playing ball on the Coast all winter, is in dandy shape and an even Showers DE HART HUBBARD AT HOWARD MEET (COLUMBian Press Bureau) Washington, D. C., April 17.—De Hart Hubbard, star broad-jumper, and fresh from laurels won at last year's Olympic meet, will be the principal attraction at the annual track meet at Howard University, which will be held on May 2 on the university field. West Virginia, Wilberforce, Lincoln, Storer, and Morgan colleges are expected to send their finest athletes to vie with the Howard stars. CARNEGIE CORPORATION MAKES A LARGE GIFT TO HAMPTON AND TUSKEGEE New York, April 24.—The board of trustees of the Carnegie Corporation announced Friday that an appropriation of $100,000 has been made to the Hampton-Tuskegee endowment fund, $50,000 for the endowment fund of each school, and specified that the income was to be used for the general support and maintenance of and instruction in the industrial and applied arts. Mr. A. J. Burt, commercial artist, has a studio in the Colored Commercial Club. Mr. Burt was formerly with a white firm down town. SKED TO GET EERN LEAGUERS Wednesday With naha Out to ord better record can be expected. Lyman Lamb's Tulsa Oilers will be visitors at the lame lot on the opening day and as they are proving themselves a real bunch of clubbars, a great game can be expected. Remember the date, next Wndesday, April 29th, at 3:00 sharp. And furthermore, while on baseball we might say that Omaha almost certainly will be a member of the Negro National Baseball League this year, playing under the name of the Black Bisons. Games will be played here during the periods that the Omaha team is on the road. Mr. Burch is extending every effort to make this possible for the Omaha fans. Mr. Reis gives out the following as the most probable line-up for opening day: **Omaha** **Tulsa** Ripperton, 3b **Riggert, 1f** O'Neill, ss **Krueger, 2b** Monroe, 2b **Mizeur, rf** King, cf **Lamb, cf** Osborne, lf **Roche, c** Griggs, 1b **Tyrell, 1b** Robinson, rf **Simon, 3b** Wilder, c **Flippin, ss** E TOO TENNESSEE SHERIFF OUTWITS WHITE MOB (Preston News Service) Nashville, Tenn., April 24.—Sheriff Cromer, of Marshall county, bringing John Henry Wallace, arrested as a suspect in connection with an attempted burglary and murder of a white man at Cornersville, Tenn., won a race from a pursuing mob of white persons recently when he arrived in Nashville shortly before noon with his prisoner. It is said that more than a score of automobiles dashed out of Lewisburg when it was learned that Sheriff Cromer has spirited Wallace away. It is claimed that at Chapel Hill the sheriff's automobile was less than 2 miles ahead of the pursuit. The canny sheriff commanded another automobile—a high powered machine at Chapel Hill and was soon several miles ahead of the mobbists. The mob followed in hot pursuit until they reached Nolensville where they lost track of the fleeing sheriff and finally decided to give up the chase. MRS. GRACE M. HUTTEN GIVING GOOD SERVICE Mrs. Grace M. Hutten, who was recently employed as an investigator by the Associated Charities chiefly among the colored people of the city, has proven herself highly serviceable in an enlarged field. Her proficiency in Spanish and her knowledge of French has lead to her assignment to work among the Mexicans, Spaniards and other foreigners in the city in addition to her work among her own people. She is doing good work in her appointed field. Mrs. Hutten reports that non-employment has caused much destitution among all these groups and has given rise to serious problems. One of the serious difficulties confronting many of the colored people is the danger of losing homes purchased on the contract plan at exorbitant prices in many cases because of inability to keep up payments. Some have been victims of unscrupulous exploitation. Mrs. Hutten was one of the speakers Tuesday night at a round table discussion held at the Y. W. C. A. under the auspices of the Social Service Commission of the Diocese of Nebraska, S. S. Caldwell, chairman, at which the clergy, social workers, and labor representatives discussed vital civic questions. 15-PIECE ORCHESTRA TO PLAY AT DREAMLAND The 15-piece orchestra, composed of picked players from Adams, Desdunes, Melody Five and Turner's orchestras, which made such a big hit when they played at Dreamland several weeks ago, will play a return engagement there Monday eve, April 27th, when they will feature all the latest song and dance hits of the season. As this will be the last opportunity to hear the splendid aggregation of local artists this season, the committee in charge, L. Gaines, Mrs. Z. Clark and S. Harrold, are sparing no paints to make this one of the swellest affairs of the year. Dance from 9 p. m. till 2 a. m. ADMITTED TO GIRLS' FRIENDLY SOCIETY-ST. PHILIP'S BRANCH At the annual meeting of the Girls' Friendly Society held in Trinity Cathedral last Friday afternoon the following girls from St. Philip's Branch were formally admitted by Bishop Shayler: Margaret Dickerson, Ellen Richardson, Marie Bush and Vera Walton. At the social gathering held in the parish house, Miss Madeline Shipman contributed a piano solo to the program. GROWING :: :: :: THANK YOU 1 Vol. X—No. 41 HIGH DEATH RATE HIGHER AMONG COLORED THAN THE WHITES Dr. Augustus G. Edwards Gives Instructive Health Talk—Emphasizes the Importance of Medical Examinations SOCIAL DISEASES TOP LIST Death Rate Among Negro Residents of Omaha 12 Percent Higher Than Among Whites—Campaign of Education Needed As part of the Health Week program put on by the Y. W. C. A., Dr. A. G. Edwards gave a most instructive health talk at the North Side Branch last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The program had been arranged by Mrs. Herbert Wiggins, Mrs. Frederick Divers, chairman of the Health Committee of the "Y." presided. Dr. Edwards took as his subject, "Pre-Clinical Medicine" and stressed the fact that many people, who are apparently well but are not, would be spared serious illness, if they consulted a physician before they became seriously ill. Statistics show that 74 per cent of the people have some minor malady that needs attention. In other words only 26 per cent of the people have perfect health. He used a chart by which he called attention to the vital organs which by neglect and abuse become seriously impaired. He told what a wonderful and delicate piece of machinery the human body is and how it needs care and attention. Men have their autos inspected, overhaulled and repaired, but neglect to do the same with their bodies. Social diseases top the list in mortality statistics and tuberculosis has been so successfully combated that it foots the list. "The death rate among Negroes in Omaha is twelve per cent higher than that among the whites," said Dr. Edwards. This is due in his opinion to ignorance, procrastination and self-medication. Many Negroes try to diagnose their own ailments, and put off consulting a physician, and dope themselves with patient nostrums. The speaker said that money spent for a thorough medical examination, twice a year would be a wise health investment and not an expenditure. He plead most earnestly that the race should keep itself physically fit for the great mission that God has for it in this country by conserving its health by careful and right living. Musical number were furnished by Miss Terresa Liverpool, and Mr. H. L. Preston, Mrs. Reeves being Mr. Preston's accompanist. A social hour followed the health talk. ADDS NEW DEPARTMENT TO HIS BUSINESS Mr. C. W. Williams, a well known photographer, has added a new department to his business. Knowing the necessity of home owning as he does, Mr. Williams has opened a real estate office in connection with the studio which is located at 1520½ No. 24th street. In addition he has purchased for himself three 5-room cottages which he will rent as an investment. He has also arranged to build new five and six room houses which will sell for practically the same as old ones now being bought by our group. RACE MAN ACQUITTED OF MURDER CHARGE OF WHITE MAN IN NORTH CAROLINA (Preston News Service) Oxford, N. C., April 24.—Grant Privetto was acquitted of the charge of murdering Clyde Cannady, young white farmer killed last Christmas. At the conclusion of the evidence submitted by the state, counsel for Privette moved for a non-suit. This motion was allowed and a judgment of not guilty ordered to be entered.

THE NEGRO’S CONTRIBUTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE A moment’s thought will easily convince open-minded persons that the contribution of the Negro to American nationality as slave, freedman and citizen was far from negligible. No element of American life has so subtly and yet clearly woven itself into warp and woof of our thinking and acting as the American Negro. He came with the first explorers and helped in exploration. His labor was from the first the foundation of the American prosperity and the cause of the rapid growth of the new world in social and economic importance. Modern democracy rests not simply on the striving white men in Europe and America but also on the persistent struggle of the black men in America for two centuries. The military defense of this land has de- pended upon Negro soldiers from the time of the Colonial ‘wars down to the struggle of the World War. Not only does the Negro appear, reappear and persist in American litera- tare bu } a Negro American literature has arisen of deep mifieance, and Negro folk lore and music are the chek est h tages of this land.

A. G. EDWARDS, one of Oma- ha’s oldest and most skillful physici- ans, gave an instruetive health talk last Sunday afternoon at the North Side Y. W. C. A. which should have had a larger audience. He empha- siped important facts that we all need to know. The Monitor hopes that Dr. Edwards may be induced to prepare for publication in our columns a se- ries of articles along the line of his helpful address. Such talks as Dr. Edwards gave should be frequently given in churches and lodges and other public gatherings among our people by our well-trained and com- petent physicians. ‘The fact that the death rate in Om- aha among our group is twelve per cent higher than among the white peo- ple is something that should give us all concern. As Dr. Edwards pointed out, our people live in good homes and generally in as sanitory surroundings ‘as other citizens, and there is really no excuse for this high death rate. It is due to removable causes. Too many neglect what ‘are considered minor complaints and refuse to call in a physician until it is too late, if al all, and a large number, especially ‘among new comers, are too much giv- en to the use of patent medicines without knowledge of what their trouble is. Health is priceless. It is a boon ‘within the prasp of all . We owe it to ourselves to conserve and protect our health. With excellent physicians within call, with visiting nurses ready to be of service whenever need shall require, with sanitary homes and sur- roundings there is no reason why the death rate among our race in Omaha should be any higher than that among the white citizens. This is an im- portant matter which The Monitor urges upon the ministers and heads of lodges and fraternities who have the ears of thousands of our people to bring to their attention. The Gos- pel of Health is as important as the Gospel of Salvation and is a part of the Gospel of Salvation which should be widely proclaimed. PROBLEMS PEOPLE talk glibly of problems when the real truth of the matter is they are simply trying to evade an imperative and plain social duty of treating the other fellow as they would like the other fellow to treat them, When men and women, hon- estly and sincerely, decide to apply Christian principles to their dealings with their fellow men many condi- tions considered and classed as prob- Jems will rapidly disappear. When, for example, the employer of labor, the capitalist, if you please, will look ‘upon his employees not as machines but as human beings and treat them accordingly, and the laborer, in his turn, will regard his employer, not as a soulless entity or corporation, but ‘as a human being, the so-called “Ia- ‘thor problem” will be solved, When men of various races and religions regard men of other races and relig- ions as human beings with the same human longings and aspirations as themselves, the so-called “race prob- lem” will be seen to be non-existent. What is needed is absolute honesty in the application of the Golden Rule in our dealings with one another. The problem lies in getting people who profess such high principles with their lips to practice them in their lives. KEEP AT IT IT IS GRATIFYING to notice the ventures that are being made by our people in new business fields. This spirit of progress is to be commended. Ordinary business prudence should be used and honesty and integrity of pur- pose should be the controlling mo- tives. Then there should be strict at- tention given to one’s business, what- ever it may be, with the determina- tion to give the best service possible. Such things make for success. If, however, after an honest trial to ac- complish something laudable, one should fail, he ought not become dis- couraged. He should try again. Per- severance and pluck are the price we pay for success, Keep at it. SPEND your money with those who show that they appreciate your pa- tronage. Your money should be used wherever possible in supporting wor- thy enterprises among our people. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH ‘Twenty-fifth and R Sts.—Tel. MArket 3475 0. J. Burckhardt, Pastor Rev.

Most all ‘of the members were interested in making the day a financial success, and worked hhard to that end, but the pastor's boosters under the leadership of their president, ‘Mrs. Ida Riddles, took the lead in mak- jing this rally a success. Mrs. Riddles had the co-operation of all of her members and Mrs. H. J. Kinney, her sub-chairman, did good work among her northside friends. Sunday the pastor will preach in the evening on the things that hinder our spiritual progress. MOTHER AND DAUGHTER WEEK—MAY 3rd TO 8th ‘The annual Mother and Daughter week promises to be one of the gala events of the season. The Girl Reserves desire the co-operation of every mother and daughter in making this an outstanding feature long to be remembered. ‘To put over a big program of interest requires hard work on the part of the Girl Reserve depart- ment. Yet the work is of such an uplift ing nature that it should be iaken out of the common class and placed among the fine arts. One is never in any position or in any seuifiviom tn whieh he tenet required to do something. Any one who wants to succeed must learn that no matter what may be his station in life there is work for him to do; he must put his heart into hhis work. ‘There are great things to do in life, in the making of a good girl ‘which seems to be a little matter, but it is in the little things that we train our: selves and others to do great things. ‘One thing that will be of interest to those interested in girlhood and young womanhood will be the get-together mother and daughter week. This will give the mother a chance to become better ac- quainted with her daughter and her pres- ent day ideas, Won't that be great work for the mother? It will teach both mother and daughter how to pull together, how to put their hearts into the work they are doing. It is not merely a fancy, a theory or a philosophy. It is a thing that is neces- sary to raise the standard of womanhood. It is an education for which all women should seek. ‘The aim of education in this instance is not to gather facts; it is to develop spir- itual character, The work is a blessing to all women and girls, Such work will bring joy and happiness in addition to affording a blessing.

Green | One of the greatest variations from ‘truth is a statement which in any way denies that the Negro is keenly a lover of beauty. ‘To deny that is also to deny that he is endowed with an aesthetic sense. Is the Negro lacking in this en- dowment? Has he a lack of appreciation for music, drama, poetry and the other finer arts? Has nature no lure for him in the beauty of its spring clothes? Is he still contented to live in the old log cabin of “ante-bellum days” rather than a modern home made beautiful with all that nature and man have devised for comfort? In “A Handbook of Literary Criticism” by William Sheran, the aesthetic sense is defined as “Our faculty, or power, of ap- preciating the beautiful, whether in the physical, moral or intellectual arder. Lessing describes it as our faculty of ap- preciating these ideals which art exter: nalizes and renders conerete.” In the same treatise the author states: “The ‘aesthetic sense is as innate to man as his physical sense of taste or touch, and it is quite as universal.” The love of beauty is peculiar to no individual or group of individuals, but to all alike. We love the work of Chaucer because wwe see in it the beauty of nature. Through- ‘out all his works we see the beauty of human nature. There is beauty in his rustic characters. All his scenes are laid on country roads, in country inns, amid what we term today, ‘the clodhoppers”. Not in all America is there a race which hhas been so successful on the farms as the Negro. The wealth of the South was made possible by the labors of the Negro, oth as freedman and a slave. He loves the open, the breezes which cool him in the midst of the beautiful greén. His love for beauty has made him the successful agriculturist that he is, Landscape gardeners are among us by the score. As I sit at my desk I have a most vivid picture of Kelly Miller, dean of Junior College Department, Howard university, amidst the beautiful flowers in his yard cultivatel by his own labors. J ‘even look out my window and see at work in his yard Father John Albert Wil Jiams, Neither of these men, one the dean of the junior college department in one of the greatest universities in Amer: ica, and an eminent sociologist, the other 4 priest in the Protestant Episcopal church, has had training as a landscape gardener. It is natural for them to love the beautiful, to ereate it, as it were, Among us are those whowe work as landscape gardeners keep them in demand the whole season of spring. Interior decorators and architects are not strange within our group. A canvass of the larger universities the world over will disclose the fact that hundreds of our group have gone out from their schools of fine arts, Countless others are stil in training. Howard university, Washing. ton, D. C, our own, has a wonderful ‘school of fine arts liberally attended by ‘our group. Paul Laurence Dunbar and James Ephriam MeGirt have done for the Negro in verse an invaluable deed. ‘They have made a literature, distinctively American, yet peculiar to the Negro alone. His feel. ings, his optimistic nature have been bared to the world in the verses of these two ‘great poets. Phyllis Wheatly, as far back fas the time of General Washington, was writing poetry which conformed to no special race or group, but was good poetry with all the beauty that is to be looked for in verse. Her best may be seen in her work “To His Excellency, General “Washington”. On the stage we may glory in the fame of a Bert Williams, who pleased discrim- inating theatre goers on two continents. lis smile and good nature made the world forget that he was a Negfo and remember that he was a man.

So successful has be i in this much appreciated art that his has been conceded the only original music of which America can boast. .Nor is the range limited. Negro music touches emo: tions wherever present in human life, In the language of the immortal Puritan poet, Milton, the spirituals for Il Penso- oso; jazz for L’Allegro. Characters like Burleigh, Clarence Cameron White, Bessie and Mamie Smith, and a score of others have brought this out from our population right here in America. As a race, we are endowed with a keen sense of the beautiful. As men our love for beauty carries us to no more extremes than does the love of any other race.

THE OMAHA WAITERS' ASSOCIATION NEWS ITEMS The Waiters' Association held their reg ular meeting last Monday night in the club rooms, 2427 Lake street. It was well attended. Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The rousing meeting held at Brandeis Restaurant was very instructive. Several new members joined the association. The real waiters are beginning to realize what the association means at this time. Among the prominent visitors at the club rooms last week were Elmer Romine of California and George Hinds, both made very instructive addresses. W. D.

STRATTON, Executive Sec'y "GYM AND JERRY", AN AMUSING HEALTH SKIT PLLEASES AND INSTRUCTS Health Movies and an Amusing Play Enjoyed by an Appreciative Audience at the North Side "Y". Monday night the assembly room of the North Side Branch of the Y. W. C. A. was filled by an appreciative audience which enjoyed a most delightful, amusing and instructive program. This was one of the features of "Health Education Week." The program opened with the showing of health movies, showing the importance of the care of the feet, by the wearing of sensible shoes, and the correction of feet troubles; the necessity of recreation and care of the body. Following the movies was the presentation of an amusing and clever health skit, entitled "Gym and Jerry" which was admirably done, each participant throwing herself into the spirit of her impersonation. The plot centers around "Jerry" who "hates health", is indifferent as to her posture and becomes stoop-shouldered, abuses her feet by wearing "stylish" narrow pointed shoes; injures her stomach by an indifferent and careless diet; becomes overweight by laziness and lack of exercise and recreation. For these "crimes" she is brought before the judge and the abused members of her body testify against her. She is condemned but paroled on promise of amendment. Mrs. Fred Divers took a dual character, owning to the illness of one of the members, impersonating "Ruth", Jerry's roommate and the judge. Her interpretation of these roles was excellent. Mrs. Herbert Wiggins as "Jerry" could not have been improved upon. "Dot" was well done by Mrs. Freddie Porter. Mrs. Eleise Turner as "Posture", Mrs. Pharr as "Weight", Miss Pharr as "Feet" and Miss Hazel Roulette as "Stomach" were well chosen and acted their parts well. Mrs. B. B. Cowan as "Something Else" was good, as were also the Recreation Spirits which were represented by the Misses Hortense Fisher, Grace Adams, Melva McCaw and Ernestine Singleton. CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON A large congregation was present at 11 o'clock Sunday morning, when the rector preached on "The Creed of Nicea the Bulwark of Christianity", it being the sixteenth hundredth anniversary of the Council of Nicea which was hell in 325 to refute-the Arian heresy.
