Had Learned Lesson
of Strict Obedience
“The theory of teaching a child to
do exactly what he is told and noth
ing more is not a sound basis of edu
cation unless the element of reason
Is injected,” said Professor Jordan. “A
ex«e In point is little Robert.
“When his mother told him to go
and see If the water was running in
the bathroom he returned and said,
“Yes, it was running, and I turned It
off.’
" Rut 1 didn’t tell you to turn it
ofTl’ exclaimed his mother. ‘I merely
told you to see if it was running.’
“After a dozen or so experiences of
this sort Robert finally grasped moth
er’s Idea, so one day. -when she asked
him to run about the house and see
if anything was burning, Robert did
so and then calmly returned to his
play.
"‘Robert,’ finally called his mother,
•X thought I smelled something burn
ing. Was I correct?’
“ ‘Yes, mother,’ replied Robert, ‘it's
our house.’ ”
Unjustly Accused
Something in -the street car was
burning.
The passengers sniffed, glanced at
one another, looked Into their pockets,
investigated their seats.
Finally the thin cloud of smoke was
traced to a gentleman's umbrella. It
appeared that in the folds of the rain
stick some inconsiderate person had
deposited a burning cigarette.
The passengers snickered.
With some difficulty the poor man
extinguished the blaze.
This accomplished, he glanced
around him and eyed, with particular
suspicion, the lady sitting next to him.
"I didn't do it," she assured him.
"I don’t smoke."—Pittsburgh Post
Gazette.
PROMINENT CLUB WOMAN
IS AN OMAHA VISITOR
_
Mrs. Joanna Snowden of Chicago,
the national organizer of the Nation
al Association of Colored Women’s
clubs, spent the week-end in Omaha,
stopping with Mrs. Louisa Strawther.
Mrs. Snowden was en route home
from a tour of the west in the inter
ests of the N. A. C. W. She spoke
Sunday evening at 8 o'clock at St.
John A. M. E. church to a fair-sized
audience. Her address was full of
interesting facts of what the Negro
woman is doing and her possibilities.
Mrs. Hiram Greenfield, a staunch,
long time friend of Mrs. Snowden,
introduced her, speaking of the prom
inence of Mrs. Snowden as the found
er and ex-president of the Northwest
ern Colored Women’s clubs. Also
Mrs. Snowden was recorder for three
years in Chicago, and 12 years as
probation officer of Chicago. She is
one of the leading women of our race.
“FAMILY DAY” AT ST. PHILIP’S
An effort is being made to have
all the families of St. Philip’s Church
present Sunday at the 11 o’clock
service. This is in keeping with a
custom inaugurated a year or two
ago of observing the first Sunday in
November as “Family Day.” The
other services will be holy commun
ion, 7:30 a. m., church school, 10:00,
and evensong at 8.
LOCAL PUGILIST
WILL BE FEATURED
IN MILL MONDAY
Bearcat Wright is not the only
Negro pugilist to achieve fame in
Omaha this season.
There is another young man in
local fistic circles who is making a
big name for himself. That person
is Johnny Jones, the welterweight
sensation who made a monkey out of
Mike Rozgall at the recent Stribling
show.
Jones’ next bout in Omaha will be
against Bat Nelson, a tough, two
fisted fighter from Waterloo, la.,
who has knocked out such good men
as Clyde Drury, Reddy Blanchard,
Joe Thomas, Navy Rosta and others.
The Jones-Nelson fight will be the
semi-final on the boxing show to be
presented at the Omaha auditorium
Monday evening, November 7. In the
main event, Morrie Schlaifer, who
Menu to be really coming back un
der the management of Johnny
Creeley, will try to avenge the recent
defeat administered to him by Mike
Kozgall, who mhe met in a return
bout.
Five bouts in all will be presented
Monday evening. In addition to the
Jones-Nelson and the Schlaifer-Roz
gall fights, there will be a six-rounder
between Johnny Mench of Scranton,
Pa., and Rich Matlock of Omaha; an
other six-rounder between Mickey
Durane and Joe Greb of New York
city, and a four-round opening bout.
The prices of all seats to Monday’s
boxing show will be $1 and $2. The
Thorpfeian Athletic Club, which is
staging the show, is attempting the
new policy of staging low priced
shows, with no seat over $2, and
every seat reserved.
Tickets are now on sale at the
Auditorium box office, Baseball
Headquarters, The New Sportsman,
The Office, Ernie Holmes’ and The
Hupb Cigar Store in South Omaha.

OMAHA’S COMMUNITY
CHEST MUST BE RAISED
Up to the time of going to press
the Community Chest totaled about
$338,000, being $97,000 short of the
goal. Several hundred faithful work
ers, men and women, have been on
the job of canvassing for this fund
for eight days. Among this group
of workers who have done such good
work may be mentioned Mrs. John A.
Smith, who accepted the important
post of a major, and the following
women have rallied to her standard:
Mrs. Clarence Gordon, Mrs. Minnie
Spriggs, Mrs. Sarah Baker, Mrs. S.
B. Canty, Mrs. Lulu Lewis, Mrs. I.
M. McIntosh, Mrs. Jennie Scott, Mrs.
John Albert Williams, and others.
Among Our men, Calvin H. Spriggs
and Rev. O. J. Burekhardt worked
conscientiously and well.
It is not known how generously
our people have responded, nor could
this be ascertained without a com
plete check of all cards turned in,
not only from the residence section,
but from the firms and industries
where our people are employed.
It has been decided to continue the
campaign until the remaining $97,
000 is raised. Omaha cannot afford
to let Lincoln, Kansas City, and other
surrounding cities raise their quotas
for charitable and welfare work, and
she fail.
If, therefore, any who read this
have not yet given to the Community
Chest, and you are not out of work,
or so poor that you cannot give, do
give something. If you honestly can
not give you can be courteous to the
workers who are giving of their time
to help you.
As a citizen of Omaha, give to the
Community Chest.
ALABAMA INSTITUTION
DEDICATES NEW BUILDING
Birmingham, Ala.— (By The Asso
ciated Negro Press)—With an array
of educators coming from all sections
of the state and a host of colored and
white citizens present, the new $50,
000 administration building of Miles
Memorial college was formally open
ed and dedicated here Thursday.
The principal address was delivered
by Bishop R. T. Brown, chairman of
the board of trustees, who outlined
the future program of the institution
and in passing pointed out that in
cluding the furniture the present in
debtedness on the building was $18,
600, and he opined that this would
soon be liquidated by belated gifts.
Among those present at the dedica
tion and who told of the wholesome
influence the institution was exerting
on Birmingham, were the following:
C. B. Glenn, superintendent of the
city schools; Frank Willis Barnett of
The Birmingham News; E. G. Mc
Ghee of the state board of education;
Charles Winter Wood, Tuskegee In
stitute, and Rev. Ragland of Birming
ham.
BACHELOR BENEDICT
CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS
At the regular election of the
Bachelor Benedict Club of Omaha,
held at their club rooms, 2425 V* N.
24th street, Tuesday evening, the
following members were elected to
fill the offices for the ensuing year:
Ray L. Williams, president; Dr. A. L.
Hawkins, vice president; M. H. Ran
dall, secretary; Leroy C. Broomfield,
treasurer; Dr. Clarence Singleton,
director of activities. On the follow
ing Tuesday the club assembled in
their regular meeting and the newly
elected officers were installed by the
former president, John O. Woods,
who impressed upon the membership
the value of organizations in Omaha.
“Men who become leaders do not be
come leaders because they are smart
er than others, but because they
know how to inspire confidence in
men and gain their respect at the
same time,” said Woods. “Ninety
five per cent of the men of the coun
try want to be honest wit htheir lead
ers and no man can hate and lead
men at the same time,” he said.
Faith in men is the cornerstone of
success. He pledged his support to
the new administration.
The following members were ap
pointed by R. L. Williams as mem
bers of the Board of Directors:
Earle Wheeler, assistant director of
activities; Drew Harrold, chairman
of house committee; Orlo South,
chairman of committee on jurisprud
ence; Harrold Bentley, assistant sec
retary; Edward Killingsworth, secre
tary of finance; Clarence Gordon, re
porter; Joe Levy, Minneapolis, Minn.,
traveling reporter; Thos. Scott, chair
man of the investigating committee.
David Russ and Ellis Kirtley were
named members of the investigating
committee.
The club will hold a whist tourna
ment within the near future to de
termine the best whist players (man
and woman) in the city. All those
desiring to take part are requested
to register their names at the Peo
ple':. Drug Store, Webster 6323.
It is the desire of the board of di
rectors that the public become more
acquainted with the activities of the
dub. CLARENCE GORDON,
Reporter.
