VOL.1, NO.41 PLANT MANAGER FLATLY DENIES SAGER CHARGES Only Sympathy for Wife, Children of Employee Allowed Him to Be Retained. To Spite His Neighbors Alleged Sager Said He Used Colored Tenants Only in Order to Spite Neighbors. In an extended interview with an Echo reporter Thursday morning, J. V. Brugler, manager of the Consumers Milk company, flatly denied the charge made against the company by William Sager, discharged employee, that the milk company had fired Sager because he had rented a portion of his home to colored tenants. Mr. Brugler indicated that there were many reasons why the discharge of Sager had been made, and pointed out that the actual firing of the employee was merely the logical culmination of a lengthy series of causes. Not Steady Worker. Claim In part Mr. Brugler said: "Sagen was not in our regular employ for the length of time that he indicated. He was discharged and re-employed by us several times during the period that he stated he was in our employ. "The real cause of the discharge was that he failed to keep himself clean shaven while at work. In at least one instance I personally sent him away from the plant to get a haircut and shave. Officer Calls on Sager "During the past several weeks William Sager has been embroiled in a number of altercations with his neighbors to such an extent that an officer of the law called on him while he was at work in our plant and admonished him about keeping the peace. Furthermore, he was frequently called from his work to go home and straighten out some matter. "This, of course, could not have continued, and Sager was warned that he would have to live at peace with his neighbors or leave our employ. "Then, Sager rented some rooms in his home to colored tenants in order to spite his neighbors, according to his own statement in our office in the presence of witnesses. After that he quit his job and gave out the statement that he had been discharged by us for having rented to colored people in order to vent his spite upon us by creating unfavorable sentiment toward us among colored people. "I may add that at no time did Sager's manner of performing his work warrant our keeping him in our employ. He was retained, however, on account of an invalid wife who is now dead, and four small children." "Our relations with both our colored patrons and the colored people whom we have met in the neighborhood have always been perfectly amicable, and we sincerely hope that this unfortunate incident, which was not at all a question of color, will not react against us in a changed attitude of our colored friends." Vocational training has been granted Emmett Hunt, disabled veteran. He will enter the University of Minnesota this fall. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Brooks, 569 Fuller Ave., entertained on Thursday evening in honor of Miss Fannie Alexander of Waco, Texas. Covers were laid for twelve. Miss Alexander is a high school teacher in Houston, Texas. She plans to take a review course at the University of Minnesota before returning to the South. Prof. and Mrs. Joe Herriford of Kansas City, Mo., stopped over in the Twin Cities a few days and were the house guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jose Sherwood, 971 St. Anchony Ave. Prof. and Mrs. Herriford left Wednesday for Seattle, Wash.

Minn Historical Society Minn Historical Bldg St Paul Minn The St.Paul Echo Local Photographer to Attend National Meet In Chicago, August 23-28 C. Mr. Frank G. Smith, Jr., is widely known as "That Man Smith," artist-photographer. His work is attracting nation-wide attention because of its individuality and high quality. Since locating at 633 Sixth Ave. North, Minneapolis, he has photographed hundreds of our group to their entire satisfaction. Mr. Smith, educated at Fisk University and at the Illinois College of Photography, is the son of Dr. Frank G. Smith, noted eye specialist of Chicago. Mr. Smith will attend the National Association of Photographers of America, which convenes at the Coliseum, Chicago, August 23-28. At this convention the worlds' greatest photographers will demonstrate to the profession the latest features, lightings and equipment known to photography. "That Man Smith" will bring back much new information in order to better serve his fast growing clientele. His studio will necessarily be closed until his return Monday, August 30. Although he is reluctant to close even for so brief a period, he feels that he can afford to do so because of the wealth of information he will obtain by attending this exclusive convention of the photographers of America. WHIPPING BOSS GIVEN FREEDOM Jury Deliberates Only 40 Minutes; Adverse Testimony Given by Scores. Albemarle, N. C.—N. C. Cranford, former chain-gang boss at the state prison here, charged with the murder of two Negro convicts, James Howell and James Taylor, was found not guilty here last Thursday night by a jury that deliberated only 40 minutes. The trial lasted more than two weeks, during which time scores of state's witnesses testified that they had seen Cranford brutally beat convicts. Several society women of the section testified as to seeing Cranford club convicts over the head. One witness testified that she saw him strike a convict on the head with a club, and never saw that convict working with the chain-gang after that. The prosecution experienced all sorts of difficulty in establishing the fact positively that witnesses had seen Cranford kill Howell and Taylor. One of the prettiest parties of the season was given at the Sterling club Wednesday afternoon, from 1:30 to 5 by Mrs. Florence Brown. The color scheme of pink and green was artistically carried out. Mrs. Brown who was assisted by her husband, was a most charming hostess. Mrs. Nellie B. Clardy, Mrs. W. A. Porter and Mrs. R. L. Perkins, out-of-town guests of honor, were presented with beautiful guest prizes. Frank G. Smith, Jr. e St. ST. PA Negro Seamen contented With Lot Spectator Discovers Many Happy Mixed Marriages in Ports of South Wales; Tolerant Attitude Prevalent. New York, Aug. 13.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has received from London a clipping from the Spectator in which a correspondent reports that Negroes employed in British merchant ships are marrying white women in British ports. Although the writer deplores the tendency she states that her investigation disclosed the white women were well satisfied with their lot. The Spectator's correspondent writes: "The writer once asked a gentle, refined woman with three children of various shades of color, all with woolly hair, how she could have brought herself to marry a black man, and what sort of future she expected for her children, and this was the answer: "They make good husbands, those men. They are so thankful to us women for marrying them that they treat us like queens. They give us plenty of money; they don't drink; they are good to the children; the pay is regular while they are away, and they always come back to us. There's many a woman with a white husband worse off. The children? Well, there are such a lot of them now that nobody seems to think much about it; they don't mind them in the schools. They won't hurt." The writer further reports that "that, apparently, was the prevailing attitude in those South Welsh ports." Willie Johnson Granted Stay Until June, 1929 In Juvenile court Wednesday morning, Judge Orr, in view of the extinuting circumstances surrounding the case, granted to Willie Johnson, 14, held on a tab charge of the murder of his 13-year-old brother Oliver, a stay of commitment to a state institution until June, 1929. Pending the time of placement in an institution, the boy is to be placed in a private home which will be found for him by probation officers and colored friends. Mr. and Mrs. Milner, aunt and uncle of the boy, did not appear in court. Playful Race Riot Averted By Chi Jailer (Preston News Service) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 13. — Inmates of the county jail, who in recent weeks have had a dynamiting party, many booze parties and fights between individual prisoners, were about to stage a southern past-time. It is claimed that on Thursday the 31 playful inmates of the sixth tier of the new jail, got things in fine shape to stage a little "below Mason and Dixon Line" comedy, in the form of a race riot. The authorities claim that before the opposing factions could clash and break one another's heads with billies and various implements, made from bed springs, etc., the plot was discovered by one of Cook county's faithful guards on that tier which houses 30 Negroes and 18 whites. The warden and his deputies searched the cells and collected the various implements of impending warfare. The authorities were unable to place the blame and consequently decided on punishment for the entire colony on the sixth tier. BAR ASSOCIATION GIVES LOCAL ATTORNEY OFFICE At the second annual session of the Chicago Bar Association which closed last Saturday in Chicago, Attorney O. J. Smith of St. Paul was elected regional director for the third district. This district is comprised of seven states. Mr. Smith acted as chairman of the credentials committee and also delivered the invocation in the absence of Rev. Chas. W. Burton. FORMER LOCAL BOY BEATEN TO PULP BY POLICE Carl Branch Vietim of Brutal Treatment at Hands of Kansas City Police. Gashed in Face With Butts of Guns; Kicked Unconscious; Investigation Promised. (Special to The Echo) Kansas City, Mo.—Carl Branch, who lived with his mother and brother at Rice and Atwater streets in St. Paul, recently was picked up by policemen here while returning home from a dance last Saturday night and beaten to a quivering, bleeding pulp because he would not admit having committed a hold-up whose perpetrators the police were seeking. Beaten badly before he was taken to the holdover, Branch was later mauled with the fists and butts of guns of the arresting officers. There are sixteen gashes in his face and neck. Both eyes are swollen closed and streaming blood. Lying unconscious after his terrific beating, he was kicked in the side and stomach several times. Although Branch protested at the time he was picked up that he had just come from a dance and that he was completely innocent of any crime, his story was of no avail with the policeman. Supports Invalid Mother For three days Branch was unable to eat anything. His invalid mother is in his sole care obtained medical care through a church. Monday the boy was released. Police Commissioner Emil Koch regretted the incident very much and promised to see that the officers in question received an investigation. JIM CROW TAKES SWIMMER'S LIFE Forced at Company Outing to Unpatrolled Part of Lake, Youth Drowns. Cleveland, O., Aug. 13.—Race discrimination at the Chippewa Lake picnic arranged by the American Wire and Steel company caused Thurman Jackson, 20, to lose his life. Thurman Jackson in company with his brother-in-law, Joe Holmes, 15, were refused admission by authorities of Chippewa Lake to bathe on the same side of the lake with other employees. They were told that if they wanted to bathe that skiffs and suits would be rented them but that they would have to go on the opposite side of the lake and bathe by themselves. Both youths went by themselves to the opposite side of the lake. Thurman lost his life by drowning. There was no lifeguard on the side of the lake where they were bathing. A committee of leading Negro residents is carrying on a probe of this case of race discrimination. COUNTRY CLUB Stoa, Mass., Aug. 12.—A golf and country club, exclusively for Negroes, has opened here and is believed to be first in this state. It is the Mapledale Country club. A year-round program of sports has been planned. Mrs. Sarah Lee, formerly of Minneapolis and a member of Bethesda Baptist church, now residing in Chicago, is visiting her many friends. Mrs. Sarah Brown of Wichita, Kan., is visiting her sons, Messrs. J. B. and Ed. Brown. Miss Viola Harris of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, returned home, stopping en route to be the guest of her sister, Mrs. Grace Totter of Marshalltown, Iowa. Employment, Health, Housing, Interracial Education, Survey of Negro Population Head Work. Employment: The Urban League's program rests upon securing for colored people greater opportunity for employment and economic well-being which are basic to the improvement of housing, health and other social problems. The industrial phase of our work has been pushed to secure openings for colored people, on the one hand, and to placing colored workers on jobs, on the other. The industrial department received 349 applications for employment between August 1, 1925, and July 1, 1926. 123 of these applicants have been placed. The outstanding placements are, 4 laborers with the Minneapolis Street Railway Company, a matron at Sauk Center Reform School, a fireman at the Henrietta Apartments, 1 moulder with the Northern Malleable Iron Works, and 5 porters with the Walgreen Drug Company. The remaining placements were 34 janitors and porters, 64 domestic and 13 days workers. The total number of men placed was 51 and the total number of women was 72. Sixty-four employers have been interviewed during the past year for the purpose of securing work opportunities for our clients. Literature on the success of Negro workers in other sections has also been sent employers in Minneapolis. Health: As a part of the League's survey of the social conditions of colored people in Minneapolis an in- (Continued on page 4) Shot to Death by Mob for Alleged Assault Shreveport, La., Aug. 13. Alleged to have attempted to attack a 10-year-old girl near Lechaute, La., John Norris, aged 23, was shot to death when he resisted arrest. The shots were fired by a posse. Norris was reported to have made remarks to a girl on a farm where he was a tenant. The child screamed and members of her family chased Norris several miles before notifying authorities. A mob was organized and the man killed. GRADUATE OF "U" OPENS DENTAL OFFICE HERI Dr. Montague J.

Dr. Richardson has lived in the Twin Cities for the past seven years, during the entire course of his college life. He selected the Twin Cities as a field for practice partly because of his excellent connections in the community, and partly because the field here is a good one. His well appointed dental offices are equipped to give the most modern practice in dentistry together with reasonable rates. The touring party including Mrs. Rose L. Davis, Mrs. Chas. E. Eatton, Geo.

GIRL CLEARS UP NEGRO 'ATTACK' Story of Assault Told Only to Excite Girl Friend, Letter to Press States. (Preston News Service) Greensboro, N. C., Aug. 12.—That she circulated the report that a young Negro man had choken her, made her take a pill and threatened her life early last Wednesday morning, "just to excite my neighbor girl friend," is an admission made by Miss Virginia Holladay, 16-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Holladay, of Pomona, in a letter received by the Daily News Thursday with a request that it be printed. She says: "I want to express my deepest regretts for the report I caused to come out last Thursday in the Daily News. It was only a dream greatly enlarged. The reason I told them was just to excite my neighbor girl friend, not thinking that it would ever go any farther, which it did by someone calling the police. Then I had to make my story fit in as it all happened. I am sorry that I caused the family, friends and also the officers the trouble that I did." SHOWERED IN HOSPITAL Mrs. Cyrus L. Lewis, who is confined at Ancker hospital, was pleasingly surprised by a gifts of many useful and valuable present on Friday, August 6. Mrs. Monkman of 1262 Dayton Ave., gave the shower for Mrs. Lewis. THE MIDDLE of August is here already. The middle of September is just a month away. It seems that winter comes. PRICE FIVE CENTS TENNIS CROWN OF TWIN CITIES GOES TO PENN High School Boys. Fight Out Final Match With Rudolph Martin Losing. Women's Tournament Scheduled for Last Part of Next Week at Dunning. In one of the most hotly contested tournaments the city has ever seen, William Penn, 17-year-old high school boy, walked off with the championship title of the Twin City Tennis club last week. Working his way in consistent playing to the semi-finals, Penn took the deciding match handily from Rudolph Martin, also a high school boy, with the score of 6-3, 6-0, 6-2. Trip for Winner Beside getting the coveted silver cup, each year awarded to the winner of the championship, Penn will be sent to St. Louis at the expense of the tennis club to represent that group at the American Tennis association tournament. He will leave tonight for St. Louis. Walter Minor and Otis Woodard, men who were believed to be strong contenders for the title, fell by the wayside before the onslaught of young Penn and Martin. Woodard reached the semi-finals, but Minor, who has been slightly unwell all summer, was defeated in the preliminaries by Woodard. Matches Paul Crane, veteran player, went down to defeat in the preliminaries at the hand of Penn. Score, 6-1, 6-0 Otis Woodard defeated Walter Minor 6-2, 6-3. Rudolph Martin won by default from Dr. J. W. Crump. James Lee lost to Rudolph Martin 6-4, 7-5, 6-4. In the semi-finals, Otis Woodard bowed to William Penn, and Penn took the deciding match from Rudolph Martin. The cup which Penn will be the nominal owner of for a year has been won twice by W. Donald Brown of Minneapolis. **Women's Tournament** The women's singles tournament will be played the latter part of next week. The winner will get one leg on the cup, which Frances Smith of Minneapolis won last year. At the same time, a junior tournament, which is being arranged by Earle F. B. Kyle, is open to the public. The camp meeting and barbecue given by Humboldt Heights Baptist Mission was a success despite the threatening weather. A good crowd and good meetings were in evidence although we regretted the fact that Rev. Bowens could not reach the city in time to participate. Rev. Crowder and Bro. Claborne assisted and all went well. Seventy-five dollars was raised during the three days' session. Rev. R. J. Solomon preached his first annual sermon last Sunday evening after a pleasing program was rendered by his faithful few. Sisters Newton, Lillard and other faithful workers are to be commended for their efforts, and Mr. Jackson for his voluntary free offer to barbecue the meat which was enjoyed and praised by all. Complimentary to Mrs. R. L. Perkins of Kansas City, Kan. Mrs. Harry Donaldson entertained with a 500 party Friday evening at her beautiful home, 2491 Elliot Ave. Six tables were played. The first prize was awarded to Mrs. Opal Fraction, second to Mrs. Hiram Gibbs, consolation to Mrs. M. Cannon. Mrs. Perkins was given a beautiful guest prize. A dainty luncheon was served after which the guests departed for their homes being delighted with Mrs. Donaldson's hospitality. Mr. David R. Francis of the postoffice department motored to Kansas City to visit his parents. Accompany Mr. Francis are, Mr. Walter Smith, Mr. J. Maxwell and Mr. John Wright. The party will visit in St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee before returning home. ```markdown ``` "Entered as second class matter Nov. 7, 1925, at the post office at St. Paul, Minn., under the act of March 3, 1879" RESPECTING PROPERTY RIGHTS There are people who believe that if they stay off the neighbor's lawn and don't pick his flowers or apples, or knock down his fence, they are respecting his rights to his property. The same people have no scruples about lingering in a professional man's office, loitering, without spending any money, in barber shops or pool rooms, and idly wasting time in drug or delicatessen stores. With white and black people, the same rule holds good. Is it not high time that we, all of us, realized that spending a man's time is on a par with spending his money or destroying his property? It may be argued that professional men do not always conduct themselves in their offices so that their time appears to be valuable. In a certain small percentage of cases that may be true, but it is not the general rule. Most men who have offices use them, or aim to use them for purely professional purposes. When they are attending to their various businesses during office hours, it is the duty of acquaintances to respect their desire to work. An office is not, emphatically not, the place to pay a social call. In a barbershop that is a barber shop only, there is not the slightest excuse for loitering, and a growth of the practice makes for a dropping off in the trade of the shop which allows it. Even in barbershops which are combined with pool rooms, there is no logical foundation for the evident belief of many non-spending hangers-on that the pool room is a sort of social club. Those drug stores, delicatessens and light grocery stores whose patronage is forty per cent feminine risk a thirty-five per cent decrease in trade by allowing loitering. Loafers have a way of respecting the rights of other people as little as they respect their own, and in some cases tactful coercion is necessary to get rid of the evil they create. There is no broad highway between offending prospective customers and cutting off the dead branches which will never yield any material increment. Nevertheless, there is a division point which business and professional people should know and observe, and which the aimless, loitering type of individual should respect. A greater mutual respect would help greatly to locate that point. COSTLY ROMANCING Let us both mourn and rejoice over the attitude of a little white girl down in the South. Sixteen, she is, presumably winsome, and just growing into young womanhood. For some reason, she wanted to create a sensation in her own circle of associates and so she told one of her intimates that a black man had choked and assaulted her. She received too willing ears, and the story went down to police headquarters. Before all the suspicious Negroes in town could be rounded up and jailed, however, the little girl returned to normalcy and voluntarily sent a letter to the daily paper to tell all its readers that no colored man had attacked her, and that her story was the result either of her inhibitions or her desires. There the case ended. A very few years ago in our own Duluth, Minnesota, another slip of a white girl told police authorities that some Negroes had attacked her, and before her falsification was discovered, mob rule swayed the city and innocent black men died. The story has its parallel a hundred times in the South. And so, in the case of the little girl of the present, it is well to be glad that she regained her senses in time to avert possible catastrophe to peaceful men. It is well that she admitted her fault voluntarily. In her no harm has been done but to show that she has a restless mind. What a scene of horror it would be if for every story of the kind the mask of untruth could be stripped away and for every sheer lie of weak white women, the mangled, tortured complement, its innocent black victim, could be viewed! THE TRIUMPH OF VULGARITY (From the Chicago Bee) The Columbia Record Company has announced "Shake That Thing," a record made by Ethel Waters, is the most widely sold record this company has ever made. It has passed the 800,000 mark and will go to a million. The American people crave filth and dirt. They thrive on a diet of mud. Like microbes they grow in dark and cavernous quarters. They relish artistic carrion. They are prurient for songs suggestive of the vulgar. They itch for sex. We refer to the white people first, and then to their colored imitators. Here is proof positive of it: For this popular song is about the most vulgar, sordidly suggestive, indecent in connotation which any company has put upon the market. Devoid of richness of rhythm, lacking in beautiful music, unspeakably low in language—this song is a tawdry, musically cheap and linguistically common composition, compared with which, "Yes, We Have No Bananas," was as a production from Bach or Beethoven. "Shake That Thing" was sold to white and colored people. It is a record breaking record of a great record company. It is what the American people want. Risue, daring and bold—it parades without tights, stockings or lingerie. It is naked and voluptuous. It is Joyce Hawley, nude and drunk in a tub of wine. It is jazz stark mad. George Schuyler, celebrated satirist of the Messenger, calls it the Negro's National Anthem. We think he limited its possession too much. It would seem to be America's national anthem. More Americans claim it than any other song. Millions shake to "Shake that thing." And "that's that." The torrid days of summer are upon us; and, no doubt, you are about to go on your vacation. In addition to the pleasure you anticipate on your vacation, the Minneapolis Urban League would have you leave the city with an expression of the gratitude it owes ringing in your ear. You have not forgotten that one year ago the Minneapolis Urban League was merely a paper program. Today in resume of the things the League has attempted to do during its initial year, one or two accomplishments stand out in bold relief. It is true that we have not done a howling lot but you should remember that we are still in swaddling clothes. But whatever the League has accomplished should be attributed to your sympathy with its sometimes faltering steps, or to your direct financial support on indirect support to it through the Community Fund, of which the League became a part January 1, 1926. Accept our profound appreciation. Social work cannot be measured in quantitative terms. Labor in a humanitarian cause often bears fruit niggardly. Some of the things that the League has done are summarized on the enclosed list. With the cooperation you will give the organization when you return from your vacation the League next year this time will have expanded these accomplishments more directly in proportion to your sympathy and interest than it has done this year.

Name_____ Street and Number_____ City_____ State_____ "White Tribes" Little Better Than Savages James Stevens, in his "Brawwyman," gives this description of the "white tribes" of the old West: "The bands of white men who adventured to the Rocky mountains in the twenties of the last century had to live like Indians, and they soon became a tribe of semi-savages, with various bands under powerful chiefs; all meeting each spring at a 'rendezvous,' just as an Indian tribe would unite its bands for a council. Even such men as Jim Bridger easily forgot the ways of civilization and adopted the customs, manners, and even the superstitions of the Indians. They married squawks, lived on meat—Jim Bridger never tasted bread for 17 years—and scaled their enemies. When the great emigration began over the Oregon trail the men of these white tribes had little more feeling of welcome than the Indians for the pioneers. Jim Bridger freighted supplies to his Wyoming fort and sold them to the emigrants, but this was not a labor of love. The wife of an army officer tells in her diary of the Old Man of the Mountains sitting in the stold silence of a Sloux for two hours, while emigrants pestered him with vain questions."

A curious double ring of pure gold that probably was a factor in some of the financial deals of the ancient Phoenicians, has been found in a rock-hewn tomb on the island of Malta. Twelve indentations on each side fit the two hoops together perfectly, it is said in a report to the Archeological institute of America, and help form the design of a complete sea-going galley. Its probable Phoenician origin suggests, since the Phoenicians were the merchants of the early Mediterranean world, that it was used in sending confidential dispatches of a business nature. In those days of precarious communication one-half would probably be carried by a trusty messenger along with important letters to the owner's confidential agent who, on recognizing and matching the ring, would accept it as the bearer's identification.

Sounds like the start of the long-awaited fight for the heavyweight title, but it isn't. Dempsey and Wills met, all right. And their meeting was in the glare of the powerful incandesces above a roped square. But there were no gloves and no flying fists involved. Just merely a handshake, an exchange of greetings. A comparison of broad smiles and—they departed. Some 8,000 fight fans attracted to the Garden by four exciting 10-round two-ring stars, whose names arouse arguments and endless discussion and whose activities fast are assuming the proportion of an international menace. Wills Gets Ovation Dempsey was the guest of Promoter Tex Rickard in a front row ringside seat and was a conspicuous figure. Wills moved into the arena after Dempsey had arrived and leading him through the ringside alesis was Low Raymond. The crowd had cheered Dempsey generously when he arrived, but at the spectacle of Dempsey's rival advancing on the ringside, the gathering was wild. The demonstration for Wills almost raised the roof off the Garden and quite plainly exceeded that accorded Dempsey. It seemed at first Wills would not greet Dempsey, but after saying a word over the radio, the big contender turned to meet the champion coming toward him from his ringside seat. England's Great Seal At one time an important official had charge of the great seal of England. Known as "chaffwax," he was its real custodian, whereas the lord chancellor was its nominal custodian. It was the duty of chaffwax to melt the wax and take the impressions of the seal as they were required. The office was abolished many years ago and the work is performed now by an ordinary employee, but the last of the chaffwaxes figured in the pension list until recently. It is the custom to give the old seal to the lord chancellor whenever a new one is made. In the early days, says London Tit-bits, the old seal was carefully broken up and only the fragments handed over to the chancellor, but now a gentle blow with a hammer, delivered by the king, is sufficient to break it in a technical sense. Shields of Old Fighters Hide was the only material used for shields among the Indians of the plains; their neighbors of the Southwest, the Pueblos, made their shields of wicker. The indigenous animals which afforded hide of sufficient thickness were the elk and the buffalo. In later times horsehide and cowhide came into use. The introduction of firearms might have been expected to render the rawhide shield obsolete, but the protection afforded by it was probably from very early times conceived as magical in nature, and the shield long continued to be a part of the equipment of the mounted warrior armed with the musket or the rifle. 1 delivered to you at your door in CREAM TOP Bottles at no extra cost.

Grotto Street Elkhurst 1759 Fierce When Cornered The wounded animal, at bay, is a fierce fighter. He thirsts for the life of the man who has harmed him. Suddenly the hunter becomes the hunted, and must defend himself against the onrushes of his maddened quarry. Much has been said and written of this man-fighting propensity, which is possessed by nearly every creature of the wilds, and always it is an animal who brings the struggle to the hunter. A bird is never mentioned in this role, although a number of species rush to the attack with the readiness of the bear or moose. The accordion, a small free-reed wind-instrument, was invented in Vienna, the capital of Austria, about the year 1829, by a musician named Damian. It was soon after introduced into England.

This study was presented to the Hennepin County Tuberculosis Association, which in turn conducted with the League's assistance a series of health meetings in the Negro churches from April 24 to May 2, 1926. White and colored physicians participated on these programs, aiming to stimulate the colored people to greater use of existing clinics and to a larger appreciation of disease prevention. Housing: The League fostered a comparative study of housing conditions on the North Side under the supervision of Miss Salsberry of the Family Welfare Society. The study is now in process of completion. Interracial Education and Publicity: The Executive Secretary has addressed 20 classes in sociology and economics during the past year, 2 social agencies, 8 business and lunchroom clubs and 15 Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. and church groups. He has made 7 miscellaneous talks and has given two radio addresses. Information has been supplied to 25 university students, to 2 employers and to the Civic and Commerce Association, the Family Welfare Society, Children's Protective Society, the Salvation Army, the Women's Co-operative Alliance and the Federal Council of Churches. No effort has been made to keep track of miscellaneous reports, magazine articles and Negro literature which the League has supplied gratuitously. The Survey of the Negro Population: This achievement should climax the League's first year's work. The completion of this has been retarded by inadequate funds and consequently a limited personnel, thus forcing the Executive Secretary who is directing the study to carry it along with the rest of the program. Although certain parts of the study are completed, it is very likely that the whole will not be ready for publication until toward the end of the present summer. Mrs. James Lee, W.

E L L O W B R E A B R I G H Y E L L O W insmaster Master of Good Baking Man's True Character Not to Be Concealed Many people learn to mask their thoughts, and anger, chagrin, greed and splite, as well as glee, pleasure and humor may be fairly effectively hidden by the man with the "poker face." All the same, nobody can really disguise his real nature by facial control, and those, who have learned how to read the human face as one reads a book, are able to make a very fair estimate of character by a close and shrewd inspection. It is because so many people never attempt to master the art of face-reading that the wiles of rogues are so successful and the triumph of the practiced liar so complete. Apart from the general aspect of a face, which is determined by the bone structure beneath the skin, what really molds the features and general expression? The answer is, character. Scientists now realize the close relation between body as a 'mind and in nothing is this interaction more complete than in the imprint of the mind upon the face. We hear of the "legal face," for example. It is a face with a set, firm mouth, keen eyes and a powerful jaw. These characteristics are merely the result of concentration, persistence and determination. Why is this? It is because the many minute muscles which mold the expression of a face are directly controlled by the brain. "Read The Want Ads" REDUCED Now on St. Pa (Continued from page 3) Paul.
