"The age-old, elaborate coiffures of Japanese and Chinese women are giving place to bobbed tresses. Kanaka girls, who once would have submitted their necks to the headsman's ax rather than sacrifice their immemorially long locks to the barber, have succumbed to the spell of the bob which they ornament with lei and hibiscus. With plucked eyebrows, tinted cheeks and carmine lips, these flappers of the South seas are as gorgeous in synthetic beauty as those of Chicago and New York. "American influence also is pronounced in dress. The obi and kimona of Japan and the flowered silk habiliments of China are being replaced by the short skirt and low-neck, sleeveless waist. Kanaka girls who a few years ago went barefoot and whose charms were set off, if not concealed, by a skirt of grass and a necklace of flowers are now correct from top to toe in the latest American fashions. "So the bob and the lipstick are the advance couriers of civilization in the South seas.

BALDEN, NY 10001 THE MUNICIPAL ISSUE The municipal political pot, which has been simmering ever since Mayor Frank A. Jefferson caused an explosion by his surprise announcement of his candidacy for mayor, unknown to anyone, apparently, except himself and friends in various civic organizations who urged him to announce, and which simmered more furiously when City Commissioner A. L. Boehmer, well known citizen, announced himself for reelection on the mayor's ticket and platform, boiled over and ran down the sides this week. Charles E. Morton, the well known florist, announced as a candidate for the city commission on the ticket with Mayor Jefferson and Commissioner Boehmer. Fresh fuel was added to the fire under the political pot when an opposition ticket came into the field at the last minute. The candidates, Messrs. Hackett, Dr. Conner and W. T. Barr, seemed somewhat surprised to hear of their own announcement and did not seem quite sure who was announcing them. The usual "citizens committee" composed of persons not yet identified to the public, is supposed to have announced the opposition ticket to the mayor's ticket. No platform, no policies were announced. The ticket is called an "independent ticket," but as yet nobody knows just who or what it is independent of. The gentlemen composing the opposition ticket are all fine men and good citizens, but the mayor and his running mates have announced for a rehabilitation of the city street railway system. That is a vital issue. The mayor's ticket stands on a platform of rehabilitation of the street transportation system without an increase of taxes. That is another good thing. The mayor's ticket has also announced for a policy of transportation at cost to the consumer. That is an excellent thing. They have also announced that they intend to make known their plan of accomplishing this rehabilitation of the street car system, the cost of fares, the kind of service, the frequency of service, the method of raising the money, before the primares, so the people may know what policies they are voting for when they vote for the candidates—and that is a mighty good thing. Now the people would like to know what policies the opposition ticket stands on. "A business administration" is an empty phrase which means nothing whatever to the taxpayer. We have a business administration now. It has been a good administration. But a vital issue at this time is the rehabilitation of the street railway system. City Manager Henry Reiger and Mr. Newcomer have done a good job of keeping the street cars running, but the city manager has a big job on his hands, and can give little time to the direct management of the street railway system. In its present condition no man can manage it and make it efficient. It has to be rehabilitated. The big issue in which the people are interested is an adequate service at cost under efficient management, all of which must be provided by money not raised by an increase in taxes. The mayor and his running mates have promised to find out for the people whether such an accomplishment is possible, and if so, what its method will be. He has promised to make this plan known before the primaries. He has made a definite promise of an administration for the people, of the people and by the people, so conducted that the people may know each day how their business is being conducted. That is the sort of government a growing city like Phoenix needs and must have. That is the sort of government to attract the best element of citizens from all parts of the country to this city to help use the faciliies and help pay the taxes. It is easy for politicians to bring forward some such old, familiar stock campaign issue as gas or electric rates. They can appeal to the tax-payer's pocketbook on those issues by such general and meaningless phrases as "soulless corporations," "extortionate rates," and "high living expenses." But it is one thing to talk about reducing rates for gas and electricity, and another thing to accomplish it. Politicians have from the day gas and electricity came into use tried to ride into public office on such issues—and usually, after election, they make an "in- Page Three vestigation," say some hard things about the corporations and let it go at that, believing the people will forget before the next election day rolls around—and, unfortunately, the people usually do forget. But this is one time in Phoenix the people will not forget the issue because every citizen is interested every day in seeing the street railway situation improved. Hundreds of citizens are driving their automobiles down town and trying to find places in the congested area to park their machines, when they would rather ride the street cars if they could have an adequate comfortable service. Scores of business men know that Phoenix is losing money every day because out-of-town customers dread to come into this city to do their trading on account of the trouble they have in finding parking space for their automobiles, and the danger of being fined for over parking. The parking space now used by residents of Phoenix should be made available to those living out of the city who come here to deal. That can only be brought about by an adequate street railway service, which Mayor Jefferson and his running mates have promised to accomplish if it can be done. The citizens of Phoenix, bumping over the high centers of the street railway tracks wearing out their machines and wrecking their nerves, are entitled to a street car service which will enable them to save the wear and tear on machinery, nerves and patience. OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS University of Arizona (Tucson), Feb. 24.—That a course in Federal and State Constitutions, which is required of all teachers in Arizona by the State Board of Education, will be offered as a correspondence course by the Extension Division of the University of Arizona was the announcement made recently from the office of the President. Registrations for the course are now being received by the extension office. The course carries two units of regular University credit and was prepared by Dr. Paul Clements of the political science department after repeated requests that such a course be offered by correspondence. "Be kind to dumb animals," says a humanitarian, but he gives no instructions for the treatment of dumbells. PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Page Four RACE RELATIONS The colored citizens of Phoenix last Sunday presented an impressive and helpful program on "Race Relations." This is a favorable sign. When different races begin to try to know and to understand one another, peace and happiness take the place of destruction and strife. The automobile has been a great civilizer—because it has enabled people to get quickly and easily about the country and to become acquainted with one another. The telegraph, the newspaper—these most of all—the telephone, the street car, the labor-saving devices such as typewriters, elevators, adding machines—all have contributed to this great civilizing process because they have relieved the human race of arduous physical toil and have given men time and strength to become acquainted with one another. Wars are founded on fear and suspicion and misunderstanding. As Mayor Frank A. Jefferson said in his address before the Race Relations Day audience last Sunday, when men learn to know each other they cease to be suspicious of each other. They begin to find the good in each other, and finally, there comes that time of understanding, mutual sympathy—strife ceases, and concerted effort for the good of all begins. A study of history of the human family shows us this is true. In the early ages of man's development he was a cave dweller. Conditions were such he could not get about easily and safely. Consequently he did not know his next cave neighbor. The result was each cave family considered itself as a race unto itself—and fought every other family. Strife, bloodshed, loss of possessions and death resulted. Gradually a dawning reasoning power began to tell these cave dwellers this was uneconomical. They beagn to learn that by working and fighting together they could overcome their common enemies among the animals—or other cave dwellers. It was then the tribal form of human relationship had its birth. After centuries of fighting, destruction, suffering and death, the tribes gradually reasoned out that if they amalgamated they could better resist other preying tribes—and nations of peoples had their birth. Sad it is that nations have not yet learned the lesson. Nations, races, creeds, still are unacquainted, still are suspicious, afraid, and the great- est war ever fought on this globe, with the greatest destruction and loss of life is just over as a result. Now the airplane, the fast ocean liner, the cable, and the newspapers are hastening the day of acquaintanceship and understanding which will inevitably result in nations doing what individuals, families and tribes have done before-get acquainted and stop warring. But that time is not yet. Indications all over the world are that we still have much to learn before nations will work together and national selfishness and greed give place to common effort for the common good. There are those who scoff at the possibility of this ever being brought about. But those same scoffers, had they lived in that other age when families fought families, would have deemed tribal relations just as impossible of accomplishment. Had those same scoffers lived in that day when tribal relations held sway, they would have just as surely preached the impossibility of nationalization So, then, the trend of the times is toward universal peace—and not the least of the influences driving the world to that point is the very destructiveness and horror of modern wars, rendered so terrible and effective by chemistry and modern invention that the next war will see no non-combatants. Every woman, every child, every babe, suckling in contentment at its mother breast will be in the battle as well as the men. So when the colored people begin to seek a closer acquaintance and sympathy with the white race, when they seek to solve the problems due to misunderstandings because of difference in color and habits—they have accomplished a great stride forward which must one day bear wonderful fruit in a greater friendship, a more effectual concertedness of movement and effort for the common good. The colored people of Phoenix are to be congratulated on their efforts along this line, and the white people should lend every effort and every sympathy toward the movement.

Gibbs An interesting, enthusiastic and well-attended meeting of the Phoenix Branch of the National Negro Business League was held Tuesday night at the regular meeting place, 605 East Jefferson street. After the acceptance of two new members, Dr. Foster and Rev. Wm. Solly, and a brief discussion of the possibility of establishing a drug store in Phoenix to be owned and operated by colored people, the president, Mr. Walter A. Brown, introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr. L. H. Gibbs, manager and director of agents for the State Building & Loan Association, who delivered an address on "Thrift and Home Ownership." Mr. Gibbs spoke in part as follows: "Mr. President and Members of the Business League: I keenly appreciate this opportunity you have given me, through the courtesy of our representative, Mr. A. R. Smith, of addressing you on the subject of Thrift and Home Ownership.' "My connection with the State Building and Loan Association of Phoenix, and the high regard I have for the personnel of its officers and board of directors, prompts me to put before you and the entire colored citizenry of Arizona, the plan of our Association which is to promote thrift and home ownership. "Many fail to realize the important position that Building and Loan Associations occupy in the economic fabric of the country. It is a known fact that 40 per cent of all residential buildings have been financed through the instrumentality of building and loan associations and that more than 92 per cent of all money invested in these associations by their members, is used to finance home building and help people to enjoy the blessing of home ownership. "Building and loan associations have proven to be among our most substantial financial institutions, this being due to the fact that these institutions are rigorously supervised by state authorities and due also to the fact that the loaning of their funds is usually restricted to first mortgage real estate loans, preferably homes, or to loans on government or other high class bonds. "It is estimated that approximately one-half of the cost of a home goes out for labor of one sort or an- PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING other. Literally speaking, millions of dollars have gone out during the past year to workmen and artisans who have helped to construct these homes. This was accomplished by the aid given through the building and loan method of financing, which enables millions of men and women to build homes who would not be able to do so under any other known method of financing. This method has also provided an investing public with an income above the average, both in rate of interest and safeness. The public is cited to the various reports of the secretary of commerce of the United States as proof of these facts. "The fundamental purpose of the State Building & Loan Association, as well as of every building and loan association is to help people to own their homes and to provide a safe and systematic plan of saving. "There are more than 11,000 Building and Loan Associations in the United States, exceeding in number the National Banks. They have a combined membership of more than 8,500,000 persons, whose savings, as represented by their investment in these associations, amount to the enormous sum of over four billion dollars—$4,765,937,197. "Investor's Installment Certificates of the State Building and Loan Association are issued at a guaranteed cost of $72.00 per share payable in 120 equal installments of 60c per share, or at a cost of $64.80 per share payable in 162 equal installments of 40c per share, at which time all payments so made may be withdrawn together with all profits standing to the credit of his or her certificate or at the option of the stockholder the par value of $100 per share will be paid at maturity. The entire amount may be paid at one time, thereby shortening the time of maturity or any number of advance payments may be made at any time, upon which we allow interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Advance payments may be withdrawn at any time." We started to write a poem on Christmas; the first line went like this: "Christmas comes but once a year."

MORTON ANNOUNCES FOR CITY COMMISSIONER Approving the policies laid down by Mayor Frank A. Jefferson and City Commissioner A. L. Boehmer in their platforms on which they stand for re-election to the offices of mayor and city commissioner respectively, Charles E. Morton, well known florist and long-time citizen of Phoenix, last week announced his candidacy on the ticket with Mayor Jefferson and Commissioner Boehmer. Mr. Morton seeks the seat on the city commission which will be vacated by the expiration of the term of Commissioner Fred Jacobs. "I believe the street railway system is so important to the continued prosperity of this city that its rehabilitation and continued operation constitute the chief issue at this time before the people," said Mr. Morton in an interview with the Phoenix Tribune. Likes Street Car Plan "I like the idea carried out by Mayor Jefferson and Commissioner Boehmer in securing experts to make a survey of the street railway situation. I like the idea that this survey is to cost the people of this city nothing. I favor the plan of letting the people know down to the last detail before the primaries, not afterward. I am in favor of the plan of the Mayor and Commissioner Boehmer to rehabilitate and modernize the street railway system without increasing taxes and, if possible, without increasing fares. "I am in favor of selling the service of transportation to the patrons of the street railway system at the actual cost, all proper expenses included, of course, of that transportation. "I am in favor of the city keeping possession of its own street franchises, which are increasing so rapidly in value that no man may say what their value will $ b_{e} $ in ten years from now. People Should Decide "I like the plan of letting the people decide whether they want a municipally owned and operated street railway system delivering transportation at cost to the consumer, and I think the people should be given the right to say whether they like any plan for raising the money to secure this rehabilitation or not. "I believe in the kind of government Mayor Jefferson and Commissioner Boehmer have declared for— BUILDING BETTER The Origin and Work of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation By R. B Eleazer The Commission on Interracial Cooperation was created shortly after the Armistice in the hope of quenching the fires of racial antagonism which were flaming up at that time with such deadly menace. Its membership was made up of representative educators, ministers, and business and professional men from all parts of the South, including a number of outstanding Negroes. Similar interracial committees were quickly organized in each southern state and in hundreds of communities, thus bringing together the best representatives of the two races for counsel and cooperation in the interest of mutual understanding, peace, and good will. The results fully justified the effort. A better spirit immediately appeared, distrust and suspicion were a-layed. many dark situations were cleared up, and the threatened conflagration was averted. Unquestionably the agencies set in motion by the Commission were largely responsible for the favorable change The emergency of the moment having been met, the Commission set about the task of permanently improving race relations throughout the South, by putting them as far as possible upon a sound, Christian a government for, of and by the people, so conducted that the people may know each day what their public servants are doing. "I would like to be elected a city commissioner—and this is the first time I have sought public office—in order that I may help carry out such a program as I have discussed." An opposition ticket to Mayor Jefferson, Commissioner Boehmber and Mr. Morton was also announced last week. It is composed of Eugene Hackett, of 822 North Fourth Avenue, for Mayor; Dr. D. L. Conner, osteopath, of 1304 West Van Buren street and W. T. Barr, representing the Pacific Mutual Insurance company, for city commissioners. No platform was announced, and a daily newspaper carried an interview with Dr. Conner that he was not sure he would be a candidate until he knew who was putting him into the race. The announcement was pronounced premature by the candidates themselves. basis. A South-wide campaign of good will was accordingly projected, aimed at the creation of a better spirit, the correction of grievances, and the promotion of understanding and sympathy between the races. That program is still being carried forward, with constantly widening influence as new agencies are enlisted and new lines of effort undertaken. Assistance has been rendered in hundreds of educational enterprises for Negroes, involving millions of dollars. health campaigns have been promoted in every State; hospitals and tuberculosis camps established, clinics opened to colored children, public nurses employed; lynchings have been prevented through the efforts of state and local committees, and in a few cases members of lynching mobs have been successfully prosecuted and sent to the penitentiary; legal aid has been extended to Negroes in scores of cases in which they were being intimidated, persecuted, or exploited; sewers, street paving, water, lights, library facilities, rest rooms and other civic advantages have been secured for Negro communities; parks, playgrounds, pools, and other provisions for recreation have been established; Negro welfare agencies have been included in community chests; day nurseries and social centers conducted; colored probation officers secured—these are among a multitude of actual results achieved. In Atlanta, for example, the interracial committee brought about an agreement by which $1,250,000 out of a single bond issue was expended for new Negro schools, including a magnificent high school, costing $300,000. Perhaps more important still, a vast amount of educational work has been done among white people to promote better understanding and attitudes on their part. This the Commission considers fundamental and of primary importance. Close contacts have been maintained with the great church groups through representatives on the Commission, by the presentation of the interracial message to conventions, conferences, synods, and the like, and through the church press. Thousands of local church groups have been encouraged to study the subject. Courses on race relations are being conducted in sixty southern white colleges, besides many voluntary classes and discussion groups. The subject has been presented at every important southern conference of college men and women, frequently by able col- PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING \ i « , \ PDS Ais " MOL7# bi CREF aa a l , EEF" YELLOW PENCIL \\ sSrseristrn sre CA s with the REDBAND cru LAnsest| rca FACTORY e& STAGLE PENCILCO.

Interracial student forums have been organized in a number of college ceniers by representatives of the Commission. A press. service is maintained which reaches all the daily papers of the South, about two hundred re- ligious papers, and every colored pa- per in America. The aim of this service is to interpret to each race the best thought and effort of the other in the matter of race rela- tions, and thus to foster mutual un- derstanding, appreciation, and good will. The fight against lynching has been pressed with especial persist- ence and vigor through the newspa- pers, scores of releases on this sub- ject having been sent out. These have been widely published and have stimulated a vast volume of editorial comment which has helped to make sentiment against this crime. No phase of the Commission’s work has been more notable than the enlistment of southern woman- hood in the campaign, In nearly ev- ery State a group of women in po-- sitions of leadership and influence has been organized to cooperate with the various state committees and to promote efforts along interracial lines in their respective civic and religious organizations. In every case, these women have made strong pronouncements against mob violence and in favor of even-handed justice for the Negro, particularly in mat- ters primarily affecting the welfare of women and children. There are two colored men on the staff of the Commission, David D. Jones, General Field Secretary, and Dr, James Bond, Director for Ken- tucky. The colored membership of the Commission is as follows: Dr. and Mrs. R. R. Moton, Mrs. Mary McLeon Bethune, Bishops R. E. Jones, J. S. Flipper and George C.
