Solomon has filed for city commissioner. Now let us all unite solidly for him. He is a clean, capable and upstanding man. No one can have any valid excuse for failing to support him. It is to be hoped that no one else of our group may be induced to file for this nomination and divide our forces. . Solomon has filed, let us unitedly sup port him. MEETS THE TEST The admission of the Victory Life Insurance company into New York is a distinct business triumph for the race and indi cates that we are gradually making progress in a rather difficult field. That only four companies have been able to qualify i for the state within twenty years shows the high standard required. That a Negro company should be the fifth to qualify is cause for congratulation and encourage ment. TURNING THE TABLES It is not an uncommon oc currence for some white man to file a petition for divorce from his comely wife, upon the ground that she has African blood in her veins and had con cealed this fact from her hitherto adoring and apparent ly satisfied spouse. But the Negro will not be outdone. One, a resident of California, who has been married, and, presumably, happily married, for eighteen years has just dis covered that his wife, instead of being colored, as he suppos ed, is white, and he is there fore suing for divorce. Such cases are exceedingly rare. As a matter of fact, there is a vast deal of nonsense about this question of race and blood in the United States. Unfortunately, the “superior race” has so mingled its blood with the “inferior race,” that it is not easy to tell in many cases just who is ‘white” and who is “colored.” Where peo ple have been honorably mar ried and lived together for ; many years, true to their mar riage vows, in our opinion, this matter of a few drops of blood does not justify separation. GIRLS OF NORTH SIDE BRANCH, Y. W. C. A., ENJOY STATE CONFERENCE A group of sixteen from the | North Side Branch, Young Women’s Christian Association, was numbered among the large delegation that at tended the High School Girl Reserve State conference, which convened in this city, February 25th, 26th, and 27th, at the Central Y. W. C. A. Friday evening was the opening of the conference, a grand party, where everybody became acquainted. The program for Saturday began with a lovely hour of worship. Dur ing this time, Miss Louise Hatch, the former Girl Reserve executive of Omaha, addressed the conference, and two musical numbers were sung by the Misses Lucy Mae Stamps, Louise Fletcher, Josephine Martin, Ollie Mattison, Nancy Pharr, Helen Lancaster, Louise Scott and Hazel Gray, the double quartet from the North Side “Y”. Throughout the day, different discussion groups were held, which proved quite help ful. A wonderful banquet held at the Ad-Sel restaurant at six o’clock Saturday evening closed the day’s program. More than five hundred Girl Reserves and their friends at tended this affair. A very beautiful church service j Sunday morning at the First Pres byterian church marked the close of the conference. The processional of j nearly two hundred Girl Reserves was a sight to behold. To end the joyfulness of this event, a Girl Reserve radio program was broadcast from the station KOIL, ! when the double quartet from the North Side “Y" rendered three love- j ly musical numbers. Practice Good Health With the Girl Reserves Good health is a matter of choice. Only plain, wholesome foods should be eaten. Over-eating and stimulants avoided. Drink plenty of water, nature’s rem edy. Have plenty of fresh air in the bed room. Eight to nine hours of sleep every night. Always breathe deeply in the open air. Look to the cleanliness of body and mind. Take regular outdoor exercise. Heed sanitation, sobriety, and safety first. _ -1 ADOLPHE MENJOU appearing in “SORROWS OF SATAN” at the NEW LAKE THEATRE 3 day* commencing Sunday, March 6 - ONE OF HARTMAN’S GENIAL SALESMEN Another of the salesmen who make trading so pleasant at the Hartman Furniture company’s store is John Kemp, whose picture we are show ing with this article. John has been with Hartman’s a long time and has built up a steady and increasing following in the community. He asks his friends to come in now and see him and to send in any of their friends who may be in the market now or later for home u r n i shings of John Kemp any kind. Knowing Mr. Kemp as we do, and knowing what splendid treatment he has accorded us all. The Monitor heartily recommends that our read ers look him up at Hartman’s, 413 South Sixteenth street, when they are looking for furniture. DRAMATIC EVENGELIST TO CONDUCT SEERVICES Madame Frances E.
