Brandeis The atre starting Sunday, December 7, twice daily. NEGRO CITIES—PHILADELPHIA (Continued from Page 3) Negroes as a whole are becoming real geniuses in business leadership. They are coming in Philadelphia more and more to learn the necessity of be ing producers as well as consumers. They reckon on a basis of production per worker. There is being brought to bear constant economic pressure to enlarge the output of every pair of worker’s hands, because there has been so much to do and so relatively few trained hands to do it. The younger generation chooses rather to enter a business because it feels there is a future to it. What is desired among Negroes in Philadelphia as well as in other cities where there is a large Negro popula tion, is a pooling of their money in a gigantic growing business. There is need in Philadelphia of a large race department store, a large fac tory, and with the large number of wealthy colored persons, recently augmented by those coming from the Southland, there is no reason why this should not be brought to a real ization. There are any number of Negroes here with fortunes ranging from $50,000 to $200,000, and with the right leadership in business or com mercial pursuit these could be pre vailed upon to put their money to work. There is enough money spent on South street, Philadelphia’s down town boulevard, in a single night to capitalize any kind of concern. In fact, one needs only to walk on South street to see that nine-tenths of the spending is done by Negroes, and of the large number of business estab lishments along this thoroughfare, the number owned by race men is negli gible. It would seem then that Negroes are natural-bom spenders. They get what they want, counting not the cost. Musically inclined, almost every colored household has its musical in strument; yet in the City of Brotherly Love there is not an up-to-date es tablishment operated by Negroes, catering to the musical trade. A concern has been incorporated to do business as a department store. They plan to erect on South street a large store that wall fill one gap, they say, in the commercial aspirations of Negro life. Some race men had made plans for the opening of a shoe store, but that fell through, but several young men (representing one of the city’s smart social clubs) have ar ranged tentatively to engage in the tea and coffee business. This comes about, it has been said, by the fact that one of the members has been to South America, and became interested in a small way in one of the Brazilian coffee plantations. That would be a step in the right direction, and it brings about the necessity for a care ful study of the rules of commerce and trade. Business has been made a study, but the majority of Negroes have been contented to “follow suit”. That is, colored business men have not heretofore studied trade conditions, and therefore have not done much on the expansion basis. Very few Negro banks have a foreign exchange stand ing, due no doubt to the fact that we do (or have done in the past) little traveling. When all is said and done though the great wealth of Negroes repre sents a splendid record of human ac complishment, because wealth, after all, is but the result of human effort intelligently and properly applied. And Negroes have not had much chance to apply their efforts intel ligently and properly along verv many lines. What the Negro needs is more pro gressive business; more business on the larger scale; more business look ing after all the needs of all the mem bers of our group. AU the Jews on South street in Philadelphia, on Seventh street and Four and a Half street in Washington, wax fat on Negro trade, but very few if any Jews buy from Negroes who are in business on South street in Philadelphia, or on Seventh street and Four and Half streets in Washington. The same is true in many other places. A Negro who engages in the larger trade must be a progressive of I the higher type; he must see the dawn afar off; he must exercise the qual ities of adaptability, inventiveness, and resourcefulness, in business and in agriculture. The new Negro in the business and commercial world sees things from a different angle. The rising tide of living is an indicator of the creation by human hands of more and more of the things of common use which serve us; things which secure health and longer life, and which make life more worth living while it lasts. Golden Ankle Chain Newest Fad in Paris Paris.—The display of fashions at the Longchamps races indicated that skirts are now climbing back toward the knee, with no guarantee what ever, of course, that the knee is where they will stop. Beauties from all parts of the world were among the huge crowd at the track, many of them introducing a novelty which will doubtless be the rage In America within a few days If It Isn't in order tho*e already. This consisted of a thin gold chain, worn on the right ankle, outside the stocking. As far as could be learned from close scrutiny and some inquiry, this chain has no use whatsoever. Simplicity of lines, however, was observed In most of the brilliant cos tumes. Coats were of seven-eighths length with beige the prevailing color. They were trimmed with furs, which in many cases represented no more than ordinary rabbit skins, made up in Imitation «f various expensive furs Look Through Walls and Floors With New X-Ray Schenectady.—X-ray machines by means of which one may look through ■olid walls and floors as easily as a ■urgeon or dentist now examines sub cntaneous parts of his patient's body have been perfected. The inventors are Dr. W. D. Coolldge and his asso ciates In the research laboratory of the General Electric company here. The new apparatus, confined In a box 7 by 8 by 10 Inches and weighing only 30 pounds, is expected to prove of great value, especially to plumbers, building contractors, electricians and . Jewelers. To use the device it will I only be necessary to connect an ordl j nary extension cord to the nearest lamp socket or base plug of the house hold lighting system. Hereafter, the Inventors say, the man who wishes to hung a picture on the wall and doesn't know where to find a solid place to drive a nail will not have to ruin the wall before find ing the right spot. The new machine may also prove a nemesis to smug glers. By shooting the rays through ; precious stones the Jewelers would easily be able to determine the genu ineness of any Jewel.
