Miller Writes" White man offers work to colored girl—Negro neighbors suspect and r.near—advise take work and “watch your step”—All white man not scoundrels— give the thing a trial, ' anyway. (For advice, write to Maxie Miller, care of Literary Service Bureau, 516 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas For personal reply send self addressed, stamped envelope.) Maxie Miller: I am offered em_ ployment in an office The prospect_ ive employer is a white man, and I am a colored girl. My neighbors who know of this offer suspect, shake their heads and say, “That man’s got something up his sleeve,” meaning he has improper motives. I am not , afraid, for I am able to take care of i myself, but I do dread the gossip of j these neighbors. I need the work and ask you to advise me. —Ben Ella. Ben Ella: You would be foolish to turn down this offer because of ■ the attitude of your neighbors. Better j give the thing a trial. All white men are not scoundrels, and this one may be honest in his intentions. Moreover, j Ben Ella, we can scarcely hope to avoid the criticism and suspicions of our neighbors. Take the work; watch your step; take care of yourself, as you say you can; if danger comes you will know how to get away from it.— j Maxie Miller. HEROES UNSUNG By A. B, Mann Unlettered Mothers (For The Literary Service Bureau) Igorance is a curse. It is an onus to be shunned. It is inexcusable wh >re opportunities have been neglcted. But it deserves intense sympathy when it is the result of sacrifice for others. And such .3 the case of the mother who remains in ignorance while she works for the education of her child, ren. Sometimes the husband and father becomes ashamed of the unlettred who worked to educate his children, burden A man reached the senate of when he was unable to bear the eni ire the United States while his wife cared for the children. But he was ashamed of her The children were taught to call her “Aurrtie” and this woman was never allowed to meet the “company,” nor to eat at the table with the guests. She was servant, in the kitchen. There have been and still are thou_ sands of these neglected, submerged sufferers. True, they have a few sympathizers, but thousands and thousands of them endure all in sil. ence and the world never knows what burdens they bear. True they are un_ lettered and thus denied the best the world offers in the way of enlighten ment and culture. True few people commend their sacrifices. But, in the eyes of justice, they are heroines of the superlative sort. They will ever be unsung, until the world is more disposed' *oward justice and fairness. But they are deserving of the high, est honors, nevertheless LOOKING BACK Spoiling Boys By Videtta Ish (For The Literary Service Bureau) They were a family of farmers. The children consisted of five boys The old man, 65 years of age would get up, feed the stock, make fires in his wife’s room, in the kitchen and in the boys’ rooms Then he’d begin to call, “Hey, Harley, Seth, Jak, get up; it’s time fer breakfast ” In other days the young folk used to get up and make fires, while the older folk would take their rest. I’ve heard of parents who would lie in bed and drink morning coffee made by some of the young folk But to. day it is so different. Boys, and girls, too, are spoiled and the parents imposed on The old methods deve. loped in the children more self re. liance and greater concern for the welfare of parents, espeially when they had passed “the great divide” of human longevity. for Quality Laundry and Dry Cleaning Call Web. 1029 -SHIRTS FINISHED 8c EACH_ (when finished out of family bundles) WET WASH-THRIFTY Rough Dry Linens JENS EN-EMERSON —LAUNDRY AND DRY CLEANERS— Youthful Stre n gt h -* ssss created ’ TITUS-PEARLS to help the millions of men and women who have lost or are losine their vital physical power.
