Better “take a fool’s advice” and drive your ducks to another market! Maxie Miller. LOOKING BACK The Question Of Propriety (For The Literary Service Bureau) Among the things which were “taboo” during the days into which I am looking back, were proponged good nights at the gate. Sitting on a dark porch was unthinkable. A girl’s beau could remain only till 9:30 Girls were to be in the house by 9:30, and 10 o'clock was the “dead line.” Mention these in the hearing of youngsters today and they will laugh in your face. Men callers remain until midnight and couples sit in swings on dark porches till—till morning. Often women begin dressing for ocial gath ering when they ought to be getting ready to go home. There are no proprieties, today. We live in the age of “this freedom.” I have a terrible time keeping my child ren on speaking terms with proprie ties. But, after all, propriety is the anchor which saves Trom wreck; it is the sentinel that protects the citadel of social morality.

Mann (For The Literary Service Bureau) There have been men who provided splendidly for the wives and children, during life time, yet had nc insurance to provide for them after their bread winner had departed. To do this is little less than a crime. There have been thousand of cases in which wives have been left with children and noth ing with which to provide for them. Now and then have been found those who neglected their own children and allowed them to suffer and to go wrong for lack of training. But, in the many thousands of cases, these loyal souls have struggled, suffered, sacrifced, and have borne their bur dens without complaint. Many of the leaders of the world, today, what they are and what they have accomplished to toiling suffering, sacrificing moth ers who had the entire burden to bear. And all the deserving ones will not have been remembered and rewarded until justice is doe to destitute wives for what they have done and for what they have suffered. INDUSTRIAL BANK REOR GANIZATION PLAN BEING WORKED OUT WASHINGTON — (CNS) — The Treasury Department has launched a program of cooperation with officials of the Industrial Savings Bank which has been closed since the banking holiday, with a view to developing a plan for reorganization and reopening as a national bank. W M Taylor, national bank ex aminer, has been assigned to repres ent the Treasury in working with of ficers of the bank of develop an ac ceptable plan. These developments followd a conference recntly of bank officers w^t*1 Controller of the Cur rency J. F T O'Connor at the con troller’s office. Examiner Taylor was aTtfte meeting and will now direct the negotiations and lead in the program of setting up a reorganization plan, bank and now its conservator, is very W H C Brown, president of the much gratified at the action just launched by the Treasuy Department and has a reorganization committee of bank officers and leading citizens of Washington to help the cause along. The plan is to open the institution as a national bank with a capital of $200,000. According to banking laws for cities the size of Washington all natonal banks must have a capital of $200,000 except in cases where banks are opened in outlying districts. Due to the fact that the Industrial Bank is uptown and caters exclusively to Negroes the smaller capital of $100, 000 may be applied in this case. $60,000 Subscribed The sum of $60,000 has already been subscribed in the new setup and for every dollar the bank raises the Reconstruction Finance Corporation will match. This means that if the $100,000 capital is agreed on by of ficials of the Treasuy the bank will have to supply only half of that a mount. Then the enly problem to be worked out will be the amount' each depositor will receive on the dollar. The deadline for closed banks has been set for January 1 at which time all banks must be opened or they will be liuidated.

N. A. A. C. P. PLANS LEGAL CHALLENGE OF OKLAHOMA HOUSING SEGREGATION NEW YORK—Oklahoma City's recently passjl city ordinance re. gulating the residences of whites and Negroes has been examined by the NAACP and the belief is expressed that it is clearly unconstitutional. The Oklahoma state conference of branch es under the leadership of Roscoe Dunjee, and the Oklahoma City branch headed by ff A Murray, with the aid and advice of the nation al office, is preparing to challenge the new ordinance in the courts. This kind of ordinance was d*e_ dared unconstitutional by the United States supreme court in 1917 in the case of Buchanan vs. Warley, arising in Louisville, Kv. Since then two cities, New Orleans, La. losing out in a •Tower court, stopped there. New Orleans lost out in the lower courts, ; but Carried on to the highest court where its attorney was rebuked and the case quickly decided against the ordinance. Oklahoma City thinks it can get by because its ordinance does not bar Negroes from buying property in socalled “white neighborhoods,” but bars them only from occupying it.
