MINNESOTA FEDERATION DISCUSSES PROBLEMS OF RECONSTRUCTION (By Associated Negro Press.) St. Paul, Minn., July 16.—Recon struction activity was discussed at the 14th .annual meeting of the Minnesota Fedretaion of Colored Women’s clubs l held Wednesday and Thursday at Pil \ grim Baptist church, Summit avenue and Cedar streets. A number of national workers among Negro women were present at the meeting, among them Mrs. J. Snowden Porter, Chicago, president of V the Northwestern Federation of Col ' ored Women’s clubs; Mrs. Eliza John son, president of the Phyllis Wheatley home, Chicago, and Miss Hallie Q. Biown, Wilberforce, O., vice president of the National Association of Colored Women. — WORK FOR MODERN HOSPITAL — Bristol, Team, July 16.—Continuing the great membership drive of the Negro Business league in Sullivan county, Tenn., and Washington coun ty, Virginia, which has for its ulti mate end the founding of a modern and efficient hospital for the Colored people of this section, a big racial forum was held in connection with a meeting of the East Tennessee Medi-i cal council at the John Wesley M. E. church. Great enthusiasm is being evinced by the Negroes of this city in thei big campaign for the addition of 3, 000 members to the league. . * NEW FEATURE IN AUTO RACES (By Associated Negro Press.) Binningham, Ala., July 16.—A new departure in automobile racing took place here on July Fourth. It marks a new era in reconstruction develop ments, and will doubtless be followed in many other communities of the! country. Secretary James Dent of the Alabama State Fair association was back of the movement, and it was a success in every way, thousands of people attending the automobile races in which Colored men were at the wheel of the mighty gasoline driven horses. This was the first Negro auto race ever held in Birmingham on the fair grounds track and Mr. Dent states that the best Negro drivers in the south competed, drivers from Shreve port, New Orleans and Atlanta, bat tling for the prize money. SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS CLASH Bisbee, Ariz., July 16.—Five per sons were wounded in a fight here be tween soldiers of the Tenth United States cavalry and civilians. The sol diers came here from Fort Huachuca under command of Col. George B. White for a parade and the trouble is said to have started with a taunt ing remark by Col. Sullivan, military policeman for the Nineteenth United States cavalry, as he was passing a Negro club. Sullivan was attacked and his pistol taken from him by Ne gro troopers. The police and civilians then joined in the fight. LEAVES $40,000 ESTATE Fayette, Mo., July 17.—Jackson Hill, an aged Negro died at his farm home near here, leaving an estate valued at more than $40,000. Hill was more than 80 years old at the time of his death and was a slave before the civil war. He was never outside of Howard county. He began farming and truck gardening soon after being liberated from slavery and acumu lated his fortune by hard work and roving. He was highly respected by all residents of this section. It is a wise policy to remain true ■ 1 loyal to old friends. Good health depends largely upon good habits. k ::k itjtitt «!! « « muni h h h n w a j; j; ;; k n ■< ;; » « « » « « « -* -* ** ** *...

PARIS GOWNS GROW BUNCHY Sash Is an Important Adjunct to Some Garments—Wrist Length Gloves Again in Evidence. The imported gowns from that dent Paris are not pretty as to line and de sign—not even the most enthusiastic admirer of French creations can en thuse over the very short skirts and sleeyes and the rather bunchy look most of them seein to have—but they are decidedly interesting and, more than that, even they are different from anything we see hereabout, observes a writer in New York Sun. Now, for instance, comes a white silk Jersey evening gown, and from Doucet. It is a charming thing, with long lines so very graceful that It is distinctly novel. The sash Is an important tiling on every gown, as it appears in many un usual an<i interesting arrangements, sometimes placed high up under the arms and crossed in the front and again in the back, where it loops be tween tiie shoulder blades and then falls the length of the entire frock. In this instance the sash is not more than four inches wide and appears on a Llge satin frock made with the sim plicity of a little girl's school dress, falling long and straight from the shoulders, with only the little crossed sashes at the bust and in the back to hold in the fullness. The sleeves are very short, just the length we would call awkward, us they stop far short of the elbow. By a curious freak of fancy it seems that Parisian women wear the short, wrist-length glove, just as people used to do before the days of 1800, which sets us wondering if we shall see the Old-fashioned lace frills appearing again at the tops of gloves or shall the thin meshed mitts return? At any rate, If a French frock among the new arrivals shows sleeves at all It Is tills curious half-length—of course It remains to be seen whether our mak ers will adopt these funny sleeves. Americans have as much cleverness in adapting these fashions us the French display In creating them, and for this reason the French things always look well on our women. •'m^m^m*m*m*m*m*m*m|h*m'h*»**m*m**«**«*m*h*m*m*m*m**«*i £ Just Call £ i Douglas 3889 | Autos Everywhere X Empire Cleaners and Dyers -j 1726 St. Mary’s Avenue. $ vvv-X‘-X"!-l*vv-X*v‘l,'l,'X*vX-!-,;'vv I __ C.
