JOSEPHINE BAKER MAY RETURN TO SHOW AGAIN ON BROADWAY NEW YORK CITY—(CNS) — The darting of the Paris music halls, after | a six years reign as the undisputed premier artist of the Casino de Paris,! rrtay return soon to her native New' York to. appear Again on Broadway in a Shubert revue. Josephine’s almost legendary suc cess in Pars is a uniquephenomenon in the history of the FreHch theatre. No other American "artiste” has been able to invade and stay so long, becoming, in fact, a Parisian char acter. Years ago, Josephine was a minor success in “Shuffle Along," but it took Paria audiences to give - her classic figure and winning personality their full appreciation. Josephine has just concluded her record engagement with the Casino prior to a new show which will open in Brussels, and subsequently go to London. She said: “The Shuberts have asked me to go to New York, hut it has not been de cided whether I shall accpt that offer or sign contracts to appear all over Europe this winter.” The report is that Josephine will ^ accept the New York engagement. It will be the apex ef a career which has included such divergent honors ag marriage to an Italian count and awards at the hands of the French government.

Our party was called “On The Trial of a Good Time Party.” Invade the attic and old clothes trunks for costumes. If some one is clever enough at cutting, silhouettes may be made of each guest. These are to be numbered and placed on the wall for all to guess. Now is the time to take thumb prints. This should be anounced by some one with a strong voice. Two impressions must be made of the right thumb, one for you to keep and one for the per. son to keep for identification pur poses. Mystery must be the key note of the party so don't tell what you are to do with the finger prints. Now let your strong voice an nouncer, announce, “These (holding a box of small paper shoes) shoes are to guide you in tracing a trial of footprints that will lead to a clue in the mystery we have gathered to gether to solve. The number on your shoe correspond to the number on your footprints. You will find they begin under the desk and each foot print will point in the direction of the next one. Some of them are hid den, but many of them are right out in the open.” Have a number of small footprints cut from paper and num bered hidden all over the house. The footprints can be another cut out of shoes or scrapg of cloth with a num ber on it or anything adding to my stery. After all footprints are found, see who can make up the best foot print mystery story. A small magni fying glass is a good prize to give to the winning person. Let your place cards at the table be the thumb prints you kept of your guest, and each must match his own finger print before he is allow, ed to be seated Have-the guest to pull out their identification card, (the thumb print they kept) and match them up x-v. gvvu ptcvt xvi jruur koVic is a realistic looking highywayman.

It’s as certain and as inevitable as that inescapable pair, death and tax. es. If you rent an apartment or a building, the owner has fire insur. ance and its cost is reflected in your rent Insurance must be included in the cost of a suit or a can of beans or a theatre ticket The factory that made your automobile and the dealer that sold it have insurance—it’s part of their operating cost, and must be absorbed by income from sales. As a result, the cutting down of fire loss is everyone’s business. Over a long period of time every fire is reflected in the cost of insurance— every community’s insurance rating is based on the actual experience in that area Lowering fire loss won’t reduce the cost of policies this week or next month — but it will do that eventually, or prevent increases that would otherwise be made. If ever a movement deserved un_ animous support, Fire Prevention Week does. Officalg all the way from the councilmen of towns to the Presi_ dent of the United States, strive to make it a success Every kind of civic and business and public organ, ization cooperates It is all done in the public interest—and the success or failure of it is put squarely up to the individual citizen. MAKE SELF LIQUIDATING IMPROVEMENTS NOW . . Definite benefits to the public will result from thei government’s pro. gram to loan communities money on self liquidation undertakings. Bridges are being built, sewage disposal plants that will save con. tamination of rivers, are to be con. structed, and many towns and ‘cities are receiving better fire protection through the addition, of badly needed fire apparatus. Such expenditures are really the highest type of sel$ liquidating enter_ prises benefiting the greatest number of people. latce adequate lire protection, ior example, furnished by & well organ, izsd fire department equipped with standard apparatus. It is priceless when your place is on fire, and if your place never burns, it saves you mon. ey every day on taxes, insurance, j etc. i From the standpoint of fire pro. tection, it is important that towns i and cities realize the long period over which money can be borrowed for public nmprovements, the low rate of j interest charged and the 30 per cent I discount which the government gives on the repayment of the total amount. For example, a $100,000 f re | department improvement can be made for $70,000^ applying this prin. ciple in a general sense. From the standpoint of giving em_ ployment or getting the greatest value for dollars spent, there was never a better time for any comm, unity to make needed, self liquidating improvements EXAMPLE OF SOCIAL FLOTSAM AND JETSAM By R. A. Adams (For The Literary Servcie Bureau) He was a white man of twenty-two years. He was intoxicated and had made himself a nuisance on the bus in which we were riding. We were nearing Chicago, when he took the seat beside me. His breath reeked with rum and was so offensive that my first impulse was to tell his his company was not desired. He opened the conversation with “I think you can help me I heard you talking to another man and I liked the way you talked.” He added, “I am down and out; I’ve about given up and decided to take the suicide route and get out of it. This man had lost his job His money was about gone, too; and ho was despondent. I substance, I said to him, “You are a young man with probably many years before you; you are a white man, with all the oppor tunities in the world opened to you; and you’d be every kind of a coward to give up the fight.” I insisted that there w»3 much of good in him, and appealed to him to let it assert itself. He promised to try a while longer. We separated in Chicago I gave him my address and he promised to write to me The letter has not arrived, yet! This despondent young man is but one of the hundreds of thousands of derelicts who make . up the flotsam and jetsam of society, and society must save them or be submerged by their weight pulling down. Into this enters no question of race or class, the duty of the more fortunate is to all who are unfortunate. The Laundrymen Set an Example Resolutions adopted by the prin cipal laundries of the city take note of the danger that the lifting of minimum wage scales to the NRA levels may bring about a widespread displacement of Negro workers, and declare, on behalf of the signers, that: We will continue to employ the same proportion of colored workers to white workers, and will not re place any colored workers with white workers because of the increased rate of pay. The Norfolk laundrymen, among the largest employers of Negro lab or in the city, have here set an ex ample that is to be recommended to industry throughout the South. Granted that laundries might not find it as easy as other industries to hire white workers for jobs hitherto done by Negroes, they could, in the course of time, displacement. would be to the damage of the very employes in whose interest the min imum wage codes were devised. It is highly to the credit of the Norfolk laundrymen that they have voted to forego a speculative labor shift advantage to themselves ip or der to preserve the employment sta tus quo, and avoided making the Blue Eagle the symbol of a fresh dis tress to workers who have done noth ing to deserve ill treatment. Moral From Widow’s Experience Bankers and life insurance men are familiar with the raids made on widows to induce them, in their inex_ perience, to invest the proceeds of their husbands’ life insurance poli. cies in wildcat securities. Many of the arguments in favor of life insur. ance trusts, monthly income insur. ance and annuities, are based on this danger, which is very real and causes great loss and hardship in thousands of cases The Insurance Field cites an inter, esting case of a widow who was re. cently swindled out of investments made with insurance money paid ov_ er twenty years ago The money was recovered for the widow by the agent who insured her husband thirty years previously He is the kind of agent who believes he owes service to his clients, even after policies are paid Armed with the facts, he went half' way across the United States to the ■office of the offending company and, with the aid of the local district at. torney, secured the return of every cent The loss of money, as in this case, is very common. Its return is un' common The moral is. Don’t specul late with insurance funds; secure the aid of the insurance Company or a responsible agency for their invest ment.
