The Cosy Corner By Irveena Elizabeth Loren FROM THE WISE Child: “Mother what is a waif?” Mother: “A waif is a girl with no home.” Child: “Where does she walk af ter an automobile ride?” The young wife baked her first pumpkin pie for her husband. Later at dinner he asked: “Who spilled the mustard in that pie?” First Girl: "Who was that man I saw you with yesterday?” Second Girl: "That was no man, it was my brother.” — Betty Loren: "Ernestine, don’t you think I’m rather brilliant?” Ernestine Taylor: "You’re so dumb you think the Mexican board ing house is on the Mexican border.” . — ...4. Colored Parson: "For de benefit of doze contributin’ cough drops, de minister’s cold am cured.” Friend: "You will soon forget her and be happy again.” Jilted Lover: “Oh no, I shan’t. I've bought loo much for her on the installment plan!” Mother: ‘1 Dorothy, you disobeyed mid you can’t have your candy now. ’ ’ Dorothy’s Father: “You’ve been quiet for twenty minutes. What’s wrong?” Dorothy: “I’ve been fined for speeding.” Young Child: “Mama, come suick. 1 ’m falling to pieces. My tooth just dropped out!” Student No. 1: “What arc sen ators?” Student No. 2: “God made these men out of clay and stood them against n wall; when lie returned with the brains they were gone.” LITERATURE LORE My Mother My mother is most dear to me, Without her I don’t know where I’d lie; For it is she who every day Makes me happy in some way. When I’m feeling cross and blue, And with my lessons I'm not thru, Who but that dear mother of mine, Comforts and pleases every time. My mother always understands My cares and hardships new, So I give her all the love That I know she is due. OUT OF GAS We were breezing along in our new Pontiac, with yellow pools of sunlight bathing the dusty road be fore us. Spring was apparently just around the corner. A little bird, merely a sparrow, sat on an old stump chirping its glad song to us. Everything seemed quite cheerful indeed. Everyone was chatting noisily', when all of a sudden the car gave a lurch and came to a dead standstill. The noise ceased, and did we stare! The driver couldn’t imagine what the trouble was. Of course he wouldn’t with a new Pontiac. Some one suggested that we all get out and examine the auto. We did. The first thing wc did was to look blank, then all together— “We’re out of gas!’’ LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS The Advocate, the school ]>a]>or, and “The Links,” the annual book, are now on sale. Elwood Randel was elected manager of the.sport page of The Advocate. We wish you suc cess Elwood.

In the afternoon at 3 o’clock the Rev. Winchester of Alt. Zion Baptist Church was guest speaker. Last Thursday evening Dr. Bur bridge called a business meeting for eight o’clock and expressed himself as being very pleased at the large attendance. Dr. Burbridge is doing splendid work here and we feel sure he will be of great assistance to the church and its members. Let us all get together and as members of this beautiful church give Dr. Burbridge and the members of his official board our full cooperation and see if we can’t get somewhere.

AS OTHRS SEE IT Conducted by Mr. Gaitha Pegg, 1942 Vine Street, Lincoln Dear Sir: On the first floor of Besscy Hall, on the university campus, is a plac ard advertising meals at the Temple Cafeteri This placard has on it a black laced waiter carrying a tray. I am calling attention to this be cause it seems strange to me that the Temple Cafeteria uses a black face in its advertisements but does not' deem it necessary to have one in its employ. I don’t think any Negro would object to the caricature if he were on the job, but as it is, it looks like gioss misrepresentation of the lacts to me; since no Negro is work ing there nor has worked there, un less in medieval times. But is the cafeteria the only de partment of the university which does not hire colored help? I don’t think so. There may be some Ne groes on the university payroll but 1 have never seen them. What is the matter with the Negro taxpayers of Nebraska? 1 read a letter in the last printing of your column, Mr. Pegg, in w'hieh something was said about a Negro voting league which once existed. It seems to me that if ever such an organization was need ed, it is now. Maybe Rep. Owens could help the state employment situation a little. A. STUDENT RICHMOND TURNS OVER NEW LEAF It is said that the word “nigger” was temporarily dropped; chairs provided for Negro women as well as white women in the court room; the word “Mr.’*• was used in addres sing colored witnesses; and the court was forced to accept the bond of a colored man for a white man last week in Richmond, Virginia. This was all for the first time in history of the Riehinond courts, when Abe Thompson, white, organ izer of that branch of the Unem ployed Council was tried on a charge of “vagrancy” for leading a hun ger march of white and Neirro.
