Y.—The Grand Lodge Entertainment Committee for New York for the 28th Annual Grand Lodge Convention of the I. B. P. O. E. W., which will meet here next August, was surprised to learn that rumor had it that the great metropolis was to lose the convention on account of the working of the Grattan Law, when there has never been a shadow of a doubt that such would occur. However, a committee appointed by Grand Exalted Ruler Finley Wilson, and composed of Judge Wm. H. Harrison of Chicago and Attorneys Chas. A. Calloway of Kansas City, John A. Sparks of Philadelphia and Thos. L. Higgins of Brooklyn, was sent to Albany to confer with the Attorney General and to New York City to confer with the local committee, and were satisfied that such rumors were groundless. In the midst of this static, the local committee has been working unperturbed. All Negro Elks have no reason to fear about the reception they will receive in one of the most cosmopolitan cities of the world. New Yorkers judge you on your merits. About three years ago, during the silver jubilee of Greater New York, a special day was designated as Fraternal Day. At this time, every fraternal society, black and white, was invited to participate. As our division of two or three thousands of Elks marched down the great Fifth Avenue, it won hearty applause everywhere, and was warmly received at the reviewing stand of the then Mayor Hylan. There is no doubt but what our hundred thousand Elks with its hundred bands and thousands of marchers will receive the augmented plaudits as they pass down the renowned parade ave- PHOENIX, ARIZONA, JULY, 1927 nue of the world. The local committee is expecting all the marching clubs, drill teams and others who intend to participate in the parade to bring on their best, for New York is looking forward to seeing Elkdom arrayed in all its splendor. Harlemites in their two thousand homes will ably take care of the Elk World and their friends. Welnicks' New Market Popular Shopping Center Welnicks' New Market Popular Shopping Center Welnick's New Market at 4th Avenue and Van Buren Street, opened a short time ago, is now the most popular shopping center in Phoenix. Mr. Ed F. Welnick, manager of the new Welnick Market, wants all the colored people of the valley to know that they are cordially invited to visit this new establishment when they want anything in the line of fresh and salt meats, fish, poultry and game in season. Be it remembered, this is the only market in Phoenix that receives its fish fresh daily, and dresses its poultry fresh every day. You are welcome to come in and look around, whether you buy anything or not. The old market, known as the California Fish and Oyster Market, at 129 North 1st Avenue, is still open and will be conducted along the same line as before. Welnick Brothers want their friends and acquaintances to visit the new market at 4th Avenue and Van Buren and become better acquainted with the new location. Civic improvements are going forward at University and East Lake parks. This is as it should be, and we feel sure the people will give credit to whom credit is due. The present city administration is making history, and thoughtful citizens will not forget the men who compose the city commission. PRICE $1.00 PER YEAR Elks Arrangements Perfected For Grand Lodge Session in Aug. Elks Arrangements Perfected For Grand Lodge Session in Aug. NEW YORK CITY, July-All arrangements for the entertainment of the Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. of W., have been perfected. The local Entertainment Committee awaits the approval of J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler, before putting the hagners in press. The local Committee is composed of some of the most representative men of the Race in Harlem. The dispatch and exactness with which plans and contracts have been consummated to make this coming convention in August excel all others of the past, could be achieved only by such sterling men. Past Exalted Ruler, Harry Pace, stated before the Grand Lodge Entertainment Committee last Saturday night, among other things, that he was going to attend the Grand Lodge Session in New York City next August, since that was the selection of the Grand Lodge at its 27th Annual Session last year. He also stated that there was no doubt in his mind about the convention coming here. The committee has made contracts with the following: Mother Zion A. M. E. Church, Mt. Olivet Church, St. Mark's Church, Fifteenth Regiment Armory, New Manhattan Casino, McAllister Steamship Co., for the steamer "Claremont" for sight-seeing trips up the Hudson, for permission to hold various phases of their meetings and entertainments in the above. Substantial payments have been made upon all these contracts. The ten thousand homes which have been secured await the arrival of the delegates and visitors to the 28th annual session. Besides the business sessions an abundance of amusements have been arranged, including a band contest, bathing beauty contest, a trip up the historical Hudson, Coney Island, Cabaret Night and Midnight Show.

Rome.—Modern fashions for women were characterized as "an outrage in every sense against human and Christian dignity" by Pope Pius in addressing 1,000 representatives of the Federation of Catholic Men. Emphasizing his displeasure over the present modes, the pontiff urged fathers to check their daughters and wives' irreverence and corruption as expressed in immodest clothing.. The head of the Holy Roman Church will not go far in opposing the vast wave of feminine exposure that is now giving the sons of God visions more or less beautiful of "beauty unadorned." As an early father of the church once said in speaking of women, "When her shift is removed, her modesty is gone." We think it has been removed. Women are now well acquainted with the blessings of brevity in garments. There are only a few places remaining, covered GOOD PLUMBING THEY SAY - KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY!

No man can now say, unless he is blind, that he married without seeing just what he was getting. In the days of pads and patches and bussles, such excuse was often urged, when dissolution of matrimonial alliance was desired. We must give women credit for one thing, however, they have really acquired more modesty than they ever had before in one direction. They are so sensitive about their cheeks being exposed, since veils are no longer used that they even cover them with paint. Many in this way sacrifice their natural beauty, in their strenuous struggles to avoid showing their naked cheeks. In fact, were the alternative presented of being without virtue or being without rouge — many would rather be without? Worth $25,000,000 Was Penniless in 1906 Story of Man's Rise New York.—Samuel Rubel, who landed in America 21 years ago with out a cent, closed a deal recently which puts him at the head of a $25,000,000 business, the Rubel Ice and Coal corporation. Rubel bought the Commonwealth Coal and Ice company and the Putnam Coal and Ice company, which he will merge with the Rubel Ice and Coal company under the corporation name.

Central Ave. Rubel's first employment in America was in a stove pipe factory at $3 a week. He quit because a 50-cent pay increase was denied him and began delivering ice and coal with a push cart. He entered the wholesale coal business in 1910. "Twenty-one years ago," about ten million Negroes were penniless. Today they are still penniless. Today we may add, they all expect to be rich in the next world. Woman was made from a rib; man retained the backbone, but all men don't use it. THE GEO. F. MERRYMAN CO.

Do you know that Summer has arrived, and that your editor of the Tribune does his best work in the "Good Old Summer Time?" This is because of the fact that others are inclined to slow up, nad we break away from the crowd and put our best foot forward. We have some snappy new features that will be added to your paper, and the first release will appear in our next issue. It has cost considerable money to bring the Tribune up to the standard that we felt our readers demanded, but nothing is too good for the patrons of this paper. Our motto: "Always Improving," is the guiding principle in conducting The Tribune, and we seek constantly to make worthwhile improvements that we know you will appreciate. No one cares for heavy matter during the Summer, so we shall make the news items in The Tribune compare favorably with your diet—something tempting, appetizing, light and refreshing. There is no better test of a paper's popularity than the eagerness with which it is received by the readers. Judging from the interest shown in The Tribune by its many readers, it is now more popular among them than at any time during its Ten Years existence in Phoenix. We appreciate the keen interest you show in the paper, and shall not be content to rest on our laurels, but will strive to make each issue just a little bit better, more interesting than the one which preceded it. Now for a big semi-monthly pay roll and Phoenix will be in a class all by itself. Although we have the $2,000,000 Roosevelt hotel, the Echo Canyon Bowl and other noteworthy enterprises, "One thing likest thou yet." Phoenix must and will have a big semi-monthly pay roll. Time is money, and some of us spend one as foolishly as the other.

Beginning to Miss The, "Great" Western Dispatch erstwhile weekly Negro journal, published by Wirt J. Jones of Phoenix, is beginning to miss. It is not hitting on all six cylinders, therefore, something must be rotten in Denmark. The issue of June 11th failed to appear and now the issue of July 9th has not yet made its appearance. Evidently the two experienced newspaper men who edit the Dispatch, are beginning to realize that it takes something besides "Experience" to get out a newspaper. Printers demand Spot Cash, and that is what it takes to publish a newspaper. Here from California Mr. Benjamin J. Cook is a recent arrival from Los Angeles and plans to make his home in Phoenix.

Deaconess Breaks Pitcher Over Head of "Fresh" Pastor Deaconess Breaks Pitcher Over Head of "Fresh" Pastor GREENSBORO, N. C. — Angered because the minister whom she had been aid ing in his church services had put his hand on her in a way she did not approve, Mrs. Mamie Holdclaw, deaconess in the church of Rev. Elder Livingstone, blind preacher, seized a glass water pitcher and struck him a severe blow over the head. The pitcher broke. One of the edges cut the minister on the neck. Six stitches were required to close the wound, which was near the jugular vein. In her zeal to wound the minister, Mrs. Holdclaw cut herself on the right hand with the broken pitcher. After the attack the deaconess escaped. Policemen D. P. Jarvis and Gray of the local force were dispatched to the scene and took the wounded preacher to the hospital. They began a search for his assailant but could not locate her. The affray occurred in the middle Page Nine of the afternoon. Shortly after 6 o'clock Mrs. Holdclaw walked into police headquarters and gave herself up. She was booked on charges of assault. She told the police that the minister tried to get "fresh" with her by feeling caressingly over her body. Mrs. Holdclaw has been the minister's chief aid in the holding of his services here. As the deaconess the Rev. Mr. Livingstone had considered her his "right-hand bower." It is not known definitely whether he will prosecute Mrs. Holdclaw or not. He was reluctant to make a statement. Tom Smith, who owes everybody in town, says he is in favor of a general debt cancellation. Nowadays when you drink to someone's health, you're taking awful chances with your own.
