MITCHELL’S WEEKLY BOOK
COMMENT
New York’s “Daily” Still Going
Strong!
Recently, in my “This and That”
column, I commented on the non
receipt of the “Daily Citizen”, Now
York’s only colored daily and Amer
i ica’s second colored daily.
G. James Flaming, City Editor, of
| the Daily Citizen writes the follwing
letter which in justice to the Daily
Citizan I am glad to print herewith
in full:
“My dear Mr. Mitchell:
In your current release, under
“This and That” you have broadcast
ed that you hava not been receiving
; the Daily Citizen since Election Day.
; . “In order to keep the records
1 straight, I want you to know that

.So Jr. Love isn't showing the
boys around in taxies any more, I
wonder if it is because he is not at
the club any more? .„
: .Joe, they tell me you aren't going
to any more parties or dances be
I because you are going to get married
is that a fact ? ..
M. E. D. is taking a lot of interest in
j Walter R. since S. left town.
| G. K. proves that a boy can go with
one girl and flirt with them all. _
S. M. is attractive, of course, but
why have so many bys comer her
at once, especially when the big shot
is cooled off._..
.Is it true that M. A. W. told V.
that he would have to give either M.
B. or herself the break? Now V. goes
to Tech, so that explains the whole
thing. ..._..
.Will the “Quart Squad” please
teach their members how to control
temper, especially when in public.
Shot Riley I should teach you a few
lessons in love, and everything for
you would be lovely...
Will Shot continue to type Guilford.
.Would it be personal to ask H.
W. why she uses such violent lang
uage at times..
.My secret ambition is to learn
win or lose, and may I say that W.
K. will never win if he doesn’t show
more interest toward L. P. __
.I only heard that H. S. har sup
reme control ovetr M. R. or is that
inversely correct?
Does L. care for D. B. or some
one else?
Delmar “dreamy kid” K. isn’t gett
ing out to the yung folks functions
as he used to.
The Ritz Cafe is the hangout for
all the big shots as the “Dos” C. C?
and the milk bottle boys.
Notice: W. H. and M. B. have both

weaknesses and he certainly shows
