DEPENDABILITY FIRST REQUISITE TO SUCCESS After all, dependability is the first requisite to success. You may think that it is easy, but it is the hardest lesson the Negro people have to learn and ignorance ef which is at the bot tom of most of their civil and eco nomic troubles. The person who ren ders good and faithful service seldom wants a job. A proper value is al j ways placed upon him because he is dependable. If he be efficient as well I as dependable, and thrifty as well as industrious, it is always easy for him | to have employment and a dollar to | the good in any time of need. Every j worker should place a proper valua tion on the job he has, because it is ■ his job, and because there is always some *ne standing by ready to take it if he shows that he does not place the proper value upon it.—T. Thomas Fortune in The Negro World. TIDBITS By Leonard Massenburge for tne Associated Negro Press. The first colored woman to receive the degree of A. M. was Miss Mary Patterson.

He cai make a friend of traffic policemen oi the corner, the one he passes ever: morning on his way to work or oi his way home in the evening. He cai make a pedestrian in the street say “He’s a good fellow, thoughtful o others’’; he can make the driver o another car say, “There’s a decen driver, I wish there were more lik< him”. Are you making friends? Cai you smile at your traffic cop and re reive a smile in return? Do yoi get a “thank you” from a passing automobilist for giving him the road' Does the elderly lady wave her hand kerchief at you for stopping to le1 her cross the street?
