No. 50 SCALE SHOWING HOW WAGE CUT WOULD OF A. B. & H. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Atlanta, Ga., March 10.—Colonel B. L. Bugg, president of the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Railway company&, stated that the question has been asked how much the wage reduction which he proposes to put into effect will amount to in dollars and cents to the individual employees of the company. Colonel Bugg has given out some figures that were taken from the December, 1920, payroll, showing the amounts earned by different classes of employees, and has had a computation made showing the amount they would have earned under the proposed scale when applied to the same service performed in December. A Negro porter on a passenger train out of Fitzgerald was paid $197.43. Under the new scale he would have earned $150.28. A Negro coal heaver working on a coal chute was paid $148.01.

Chicago, March 10.—A quarter of a million dollars with a million dollars as an ultimate end is the milk in the cocoanut of a vigorous campaign now being conducted by the Progressive company, a Negro corporation of this city. A big, modern department store has been planned, ground purchased to be the site of a $150,000 building and a $200,000 stock of merchandise are included in the general designs of this company to establish the first genuine department store among the colored people in this country. Chicago has been "zoned" by the organization and clubs set up in the several sections which have already raised enough of the monies needed for the preliminary work of purchasing the site for the proposed building and the preparation of the large corps of heads of departments and clerks that will be used when the big store is opened to the public. Stock is now being sold at a rapid rate and the projectors are very confident that the building operations of the company will be started before the year is ended. C. H. Turner is the president of the company and W. A. Bryant is the treasurer of the company. Both of these men are popular and enjoy a wide acquaintance in the business and church work of Chicago. Gone but not forgotten—the War and the Wilson administration. Don't kill a man's chances unless you mean to kill the man. To Our Readers No person is in a better position to know the attitude of the business concerns of a community than the one who solicits the advertisements and comes in personal contact with the heads of the business concern. When the advertisement of a business firm is carried in the Tribune, it not only serves as an announcement of the special prices or the line of goods handled by that concern, but it is a Direct Invitation to members of the race to patronize the business place; further, it is assurance of fair and courteous treatment. Go Where You Are Invited SOUTHERN SENATORS OBJECT TO MINIMUM WAGE SCALE BECAUSE BLACKS BENEFIT (By The Associated Negro Press.)

Ninety cents is the minimum wage provided for in the measure. COMMITS SUICIDE RATHER THAN BE BURNED ALIVE (By The Associated Negro Press.)

At the beginning the colored people, as a whole, were inclined to discredit the campaign of the committee, but now appear to be reconciled to the program of "making the city safe" because the campaign has not been wholly confined to the Negro sections, but is being carried into all the neighborhoods wherever the criminal elements have been found carrying on their depredations.

The Brady residence, which is in course of construction at 620 North Denver street, will, when completed, be one of the prettiest homes in the city. Putting Mr. Murphy in charge of the erection of such a building is proof of his ability and shows that if you have the goods and can deliver them, your services will always be in demand. "LIFE BONDS" NOW MOST ATTRACTIVE FOR INVESTMENT "LIFE BONDS" NOW MOST ATTRACTIVE FOR INVESTMENT A great deal of interest has been created throughout the state in the "life bonds" of the Near East Relief, which are being distributed from the state office in Phoenix. These bonds bear 20 coupons, each of which sells for $1.00, the total amount procured for the bond being sufficient to feed four Armenian children for a whole month. The schools and Sunday schools are taking up the bonds with much enthusiasm, in some cities corps of students sell the coupons on the street, and the success which they are attaining demonstrates that the "life bonds", which mean the saving of starving children, are proving a popular investment. The magnitude of the work of the Near East Relief is not generally realized. The organization is now maintaining 223 orphanages, 58 hospitals and an indefinite number of refugee camps, the latter of which are constantly increasing in number. The Red Cross formally turned its work in this country over to the Near East Relief, and this is the only agency at work in this ancient and where Christ was born. The demnant of the Armenian nation that is left is gathered in these orphanages and refugee camps, and relief work is urgent, a cessation of supplies for a single week would mean the death of thousands of women and children.

Walker EVERY man and woman should have a budget. Therr should be a businesslike apportionment, of what you earn, to your needs and your tastes. You will have to assign so much to rent.

There will have to be an allowance for food and clothing, for the doctor and the dentist, for amusement and pleasure, for necessary travel and for unnecessary extravagances, for we all have our extravagances. All these things will be promptly listed and thoroughly looked after. We shall probably be particularly liberal with those items which mean the least in the sum total of human happiness.

Walker EVERY man and woman should have a budget. Therr should be a businesslike apportionment, of what you earn, to your needs and your tastes. You will have to assign so much to rent. It used to be 25 per cent in the ordinary income. Now it averages more. There will have to be an allowance for food and clothing, for the doctor and the dentist, for amusement and pleasure, for necessary travel and for unnecessary extravagances, for we all have our extravagances. All these things will be promptly listed and thoroughly looked after. We shall probably be particularly liberal with those items which mean the least in the sum total of human happiness. The last thing that will be thought about, and the most scanty allowance will be made for it, will be the development and betterment of our minds. How much money did you spend last year on worth-white books—books you are keeping to read a second time—books that added to your wisdom or gave you something valuable to think about? How much time did you spend in filling your mental storehouse with facts useful in daily life and valuable in your daily work? Did you spend as much for information as you did for gasoline? If you were to add together all the time you spent gaining knowledge, would it be half the time that you spent dancing? * * * Do you consider that MONEY is the only thing you spend? TIME is your much greater asset. You can earn more money. You cannot, with all the wealth of all the universe, in all the ages, buy one minute of time nor bring back for another and a better use a wasted hour. Lord Brougham, a man who spent his time wisely and profitably, wrote down this short sentence filled with good advice: "Read something of everything, and everything of something." There is no excuse for any man, woman or child past twelve years spending less than half an hour a day with a good book. Reading carefully and THOUGHTFULLY you will cover not less than 150 words a minute. That is 4,500 words a day. ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO THOUSAND WORDS A YEAR. How much wiser do you think you would be if you did that for only one year? Knowledge is the freest, the most inexpensive thing in the world, and we think less of it than of anything else. Stop making a pet of your stomach. Stop worrying about your clothes. Give up some of the useless things upon which you spend and waste your time and your money. Make up a budget of your earnings and your hours that shall have in it a liberal allowance for your mind, for your intelligence, for your thinking powers. What you have inside your head no robber can get, no Ponzi can transfer to his pockets. Not even old age can destroy it, and perhaps not even death can take it away from you. Be generous with your mind. Feed it. Nourish it. Care for it. It is the one part of you that really matters, the one thing upon which you should spend lavishly and continuously. THE WOODS BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH SUNRISE. SOME folks run to sunsets, Some folks run to noon, Some folks like the evenin' best, With its stars an' moon. Sunsets may be purty, Noontime fair to see, But the mornin' I like most— Sunrise time fer me! Some folks like at twilight Jest to set an' dream Of the day thet's dyn' there In 'the sunset gleam. What's the use of cryin' Fer the day's mistakes?— I'm jest lookin' fer the time When the sunrise breaks! An', if all the mornin's, All the days an' years, Bring me nothin' thet I ask, Bring me only tears— When this life is over, When my soul awakes, I'll be lookin' to the east Where the sunrise breaks! (Copyright.) Swiss Blue Laws. It is not only in New England that "blue laws" have prevailed. They were a part of the Calvanist religion, until even that religion was forced, in a measure, to compromise with the times. In Geneva, in the Eighteenth century, people had to rise at five o'clock in summer and six in winter, under penalty of a fine; they were allowed but two dishes at their tables; and not more than one fire was allowed in a house. A Daisy Robinson, the "movie" star, made her debut as a child—one of the fairies in the production of Peter Pan. Later she played juvenile roles in a Brooklyn stock company, when she was taken over by a large motion picture producing concern. She has appeared with some of the leading film players. She declares she likes comedy best. Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them THE distinction between the uses of these two words, "in" and "into," can be expressed best by giving examples of proper and improper usage. Therefore, compare the two sentences which follow: "The man walked in the house" and "The man walked into the house." In the first case the action was confined entirely to the house; that is, the man was in the house, and he walked therein. But in the second case, the man was outside the house, and he entered it. "In" shows state of being, or position; "into" denotes action, movement, tendency or direction. Do not say: "I fell in the water," but say, "I fell into the water." Following is a case in which the two words are used correctly in one sentence: "I threw the stone into the house, and it lies in the room." "Come in the house," says the mother to the child. She should say: "Come into the house." How It Started POSTAGE-STAMPS. THE first stamp for letters as a revenue-producing agent was introduced into Great Britain by Sir Rowland Hill in 1840. For a while the stamps were simply bits of paper, which had to be pasted on the letter by the purchaser. The first adhesive stamp was the English "one-penny black." It was not until 1854 that perforated stamps came into use. Before this all stamps had to be cut apart. Doe in Town. Beavertown, Pa.—A large doe chased by dogs came down the main street here the other day, and taking a flying leap, landed in the garden of Fullner's hotel. After a few minutes she again jumped the fence and trotted through the business streets, often stopping to look in windows. The doe returned to the garden and then to the woods.

Uncle Walt's Story Walt Mason VEXATION OF SPIRIT WHEN I was in business," said the retired merchant, "I never had time to read much, and I used to look forward to the glad day when I could revel in literature. I felt sure I'd be entirely happy. I used to jot down the titles of books I intended to read, and when I retired from business I had a list as long as the Russian battle line. PETER H. "And now that I can read all I want to, I don't get any enjoyment out of books. They bore me the worst way. I get sleepy as soon as I begin to read, and my wife comes and tells me my snoring is disturbing the neighbors." "It's that way with everything we look forward to," observed the hotelkeeper, sadly. "Man always will be, but is never blest, as some half-baked poet remarked. Young Gooseworthy was in here last evening, bubbling over with happiness. There wasn't anybody around, so he took me into his confidence. He's going to marry Gwendolin Jimalong, next month, and he's perfectly satisfied that his married life will be one long stretch of sunshine. He seems to have the idea that he's going to do something original when he gets married, but the idea isn't new. Men have been getting married ever since Christopher discovered Columbus, Ohio, and every doggone man jack of them had the idea that everlasting bliss was going to be inaugurated on the wedding day. "I listened to Gooseworthy for three hours, and hadn't the heart to say anything that would dampen his enthusiasm. His twittering recalled the long vanished days when I was getting ready to be married. I felt about it then just as he does now. I thought the parson opened the gates of pariise when he joined two loving hearts. My wife lived up to all the plans and specifications, and was and is one of the best women in the United States, but I hadn't been married three months before I had a sneaking conviction that the man who gets married is a chump. "A good many optimists say that a married man doesn't need any more money than a single one, if he marries the right sort of woman, but they might as well go to the blackboard and demonstrate that two and two make two, instead of four. I fell for that cheerful theory when I was married. I was earning enough to keep myself comfortably, and never had any financial worries. I could have been buried for less money than it took to be married, and the expenses from that time forward were double what they used to be, although my wife was so economical she used to make waists and such things for herself out of my superannuated shirts. "Oh, doggone it, there isn't any unadulterated happiness in matrimony. I wonder that young fellows like Gooseworthy don't look around them, and contemplate the dejected appearance of the majority of husbands. But even if they did, it wouldn't do them any good, I suppose, for they are full of pipe dreams, and they think the girls they are going to marry are different from all other girls, and that they will prove exceptions to the general rule. "I had a wise old uncle in those halcyon days, and about a week before the wedding day, he backed me into a corner and handed me a dust-proof package of wisdom. He tried to lead me into taking a sensible view of the future. He talked about the cares and responsibilities that would be mine after the wedding, and wanted to know if I felt equal to them. He tried to show me that I wasn't going to marry an angel, but a human being like myself, with a human being's faults and frailties. "I let him get that far, and then I told him that his gray hairs alone saved him from having his head remodeled, and said I never wanted him to darken my door, and he never did. I had to darken it myself, with wail nut stain. But many a time afterward, I recalled his wise words and wept over his grave." Well Off. "After all a man never knows when he's well off." "What's happened now?" "I was just thinking what a fool I was for trading off my Liberty bonds for oil stock." Nut Waiter Wanted An old lady, after waiting in a confectionery store for about ten minutes, grew grossly impatient at the lack of service. Finally she rapped sharply on the counter. "Here, young lady," she called, "who waits on the nuts?"—Everybody's Magazine. The Consequence. "At the anti-dog meeting nobody muzzled the speakers." "That was the reason, then, there were so many biting remarks" A politician may not be honest but he sure is diligent. This is a funny world, the fellow who was isn't much, it's the fellow who is.

C., March 10, Rumors and then more rumors are keeping the atmosphere charged with suppressed excitement and intolerant fears of just what no one appears to know. One is simply submerged and actually drowned in the great suction of things without knowing clearly the way or the wherefore. And there is no end to it. President Harding is the central figure in the situation but not the central thought. "Where and when will I land?" is the present all-absorbing idea and no one is making any apparent effort to get away from this question. There are just a few attitudes which appear in the nature of a surprise, William H. Lewis, Robert R. Church and Henry Lincoln Johnson are declining appointments. To what? is a query that baffles reply. They have declined is the rumor that is holding the center of the stage and that is all there is about the matter. On the other hand it has been very definitely decided that Charles A. Cottrell is to be next register of the treasury; Charles W. Anderson is to be Collector of Customs at the Port of New York; Emmett J. Scott is to represent the government as Minister to Bolivia; Perry W. Howard has his weather eye on the attorney general's office; Earnest Lyon is yearning to get his former post at Monrovia; Phil Brown has picked out a soft berth in the War Department; Fred R. Moore, the heavy gun of The New York AGE, slates himself for the electrically charged atmosphere of Port Au Prince James Weldon Johnson or W. S. Scarborough heading for Hawaii; Robert J. Nelson, the gracious journalist and editor of Wilmington, Delaware, will record Deeds for the district of Columbia; Dr. J. R. A. Crossland will be given the very important position of Superintendent of the Freedman's Hospital; and Walter L. Cohen will be the Naval Officer at the Port of New Orleans. --- A SMASH AT THE HIGH COST OF LIVING Government guaranteed meats.

Talbert were among the women leaders present at the sessions and took a prominent part in the discussions. They were addressed by H. J. Johnson, Charles Cottrell, Bishop Clinton and others. An executive committee was formed and plans for the maintenance of a national headquarters at Washington with Henry Lincoln Johnson as the executive head, were adopted. The chief duty of the women's organization is to keep vigilant watch over legislation, affecting the status and interests of the Race as it may appear in either house of the National Congress. REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION DISCARDS OBNOXIOUS SIGNS (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., March 10—Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson states that in accordance with the campaign nledges that all segregation signs in the various departments would be taken down before "sundown on March 4th." He asked for special representatives to hestir themselves and locate some of the said signs. After a long and faithful look, it was discovered that the Democrats evidently "smelled a rat." for the "specials" returned without finding a sign anywhere. There are no segregation signs in Washington under the new administration. Roast Beef 2-lb. can .....28c Peaches Gallon can .....65c Case of 6 cans..$3.60 S. C.
