“One case in particular was report

thus beaten and thrown into a com

age or dressing on her wounds- The
other prisoners demanded some
bandages for her, but none was forth
coming- The woman attendant ex
plained that she was forbidden to give
any away- Finally, when the attend

bandages, she burst into tears and
wept bitterly.

THE SOUTH UTILITIES CLUB j
The Southside Utilities Club was:
favored with a demonstration by the
Alamito Dairy Company at their
meeting Monday night at Bethel Bap
tist Church of South Omaha- The de
monstration consisted of showing the
housewife the purity of the mild and
how he can produce her butter from
the Alamito milk in her own kitchen
in a few minutes time, due to its
richness in butter fat and food values.
Ten gallons of milk was served to
the club and souverners of small
rules and a spoon for dipping cream
from the bottles, bearing the Dairy’s
name
A solo was then rendered by a Jun
ior member of the club- The club will
debate the following question at its
next meeting, “What Can I Do to Aid
in bringing closer Race Relations?”

UNIVERSITY NEWS
Unique in the ranks of the hun
dreds of college graduates in the June
Class of ’34 are to be found those
who under unfavorable circumstances,
continue to oarry on for America’s
“Tenth Man-”
Notwithstanding the fact that the
average Negro attending college or
university— especially in this section
of the country—has to work part of
the time; has to wonder where he is
to get the money for his next month's
board and his next semester’s tuition
part of the time; and the “remaining
part” of the time he has for study—
not withstanding these facts I say—
Omaha may, in future years, look
back with pride and joy upon the
radiating pages of the “History of
Black Folks” and mcounter there
those who helped to make that his
tory
At the present time there are sev
enteen students attending the two
universities of Omaha—the Munici
pal University and Creighton- Fif
teen of these students are attending
the municipal university three of
which are attending night school
there- Two of these seventeen stud
ents are attending Creighton.
In the graduating class of the
•municipal university this year are
Miss Ruth Anna King, who receives
a B- A- degree; Mr- Lester W- Price,
who receives a B- A- D- Degree; and
Mir- Henry Robert Thomas who re
ceives a B- A- Degree and a first
grade teacher’s certificate- Miss King
majored in Sociology and is at pres
ent doing social work in the city of
Omaha- Mr. Prioe also majored in
Sociology- Mr- Thomas majored in
English and expects to teach for a
while before re-entering school
Coming to Omaha some two years
ago, from the unique little city of
McCook, Nebraska, Mr. Thomas, al
though most unostentatious concern
ing those things which pertairf to his
achievements and ability, has dis
tinguished himself as one of the lead
ing students of the university. By
the way, if I were not afraid that he
would jump me, I would like to tell
you that he is a poet.
In the graduating class of Creigh
ton this year, June of ’34, we find Mr.
James B- Baker- Mr. Baker receives
i a B. S. Degree in Chemistry. He
j hopes to enter medicine soon

GOT C. C. C. IDEA FROM
GOODWILL INDUSTRIES
WORK
“It is not the general public,” ar.
exxecutive at the Goodwill Industries
here said yesterday, “that the most
successful of the work relief projects
the federal government has undertak
en was the result of a visit which a
friend of Presdent Roosevelt paid to
the Goodwill Industries plant in Bost
on—the oldest of the 100 Goodwill
projects now operating throughout
the land- The visitor’s story of what
he aw there in the undertaking to
provide employment for the idle made
•uch an impression on the President
that he worked out his Civilian Con
ervation Corps plan from the Good
will methods. It gave happy employ
■vent to thousands of young men,
enabling them to support their depen
dent*
However, our Goodwill Industrie*
over the whole land provide jobs for
yet more people—men and women
alike—and as we operate at a much
lowr cost, more of the money available
for the work goes into direct wages
for the employee*-”
Call ATlantic 4611 if you wish to
contribute something in the way of
clothing, shoes furniture, etc., that
your family no longer has any use
for, and have the Goodwill truck call
at your home for your contribution
EDITORIAL OF THE WEEK
(From the St Louis, Mo- Post Dis
patch. May 21, 1934)
A Force For Racial Understanding
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
which is celebrating its twenty fiftr
anniversary, occupies a unique place
among the organizations striving for
better America. Founded with the
support of Oswald Garrison Villard,
John Dewey, Moorfield Storey, Jane
Addams, Florence Kelley and other
persons of social ideas, it devoted it
self to bringing about improved rela
tions between racces, whose common
welfre depends in large measure on
the health and well being of each
other- In 1908, just before the asso
ciation was organized, 92 Negroes
were lynched in the United States.
In 1932, only eight members of their
race died in that tragic Inanner
Similiarly, during the last quarter of
a century, the Negro’s educational
and political status has been sub
stantially mproved
Walter White and his associates
would be the last to claim all the
credit for advancing the lot in life of
the American Negro, but the fact re
mfeins that their organ izlatilon has
spread in the forefront of a movement
which has enlightenment, fostered
law and order and made racial under
standing

LOOKING BACK
By Videta Ish
(Drinking Girls)
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
It was very unfortunate that a wo
man in the position of a president’s
should say what Mrs- Roosevlt did
concerning girls and drink- There
wasa time when any girl who would
drink rum was considered abandon
ed- And one who got drunk would be
disgraced, hunned and anathematized.
But. today even young girls of
fifteen years will drink publicly
Girls and boys drink together- And
under influences of drink, men take
and women allow, indecent and de
structive liberties. Girls get sick
slobber, vomit, and expose themselves
unduly and laugh at their own shame
r ha saddest feature of the whole thing
mothers make allowance ' and say,
“The dear children are just having a
little fun; they don’t mean any harm.”
Fathers shake their heads sadly but
say nothing because Mom and daughte
are in accord- But what was wrong
in other days is wrong now, and drink
ing is wrong.

The Various Zones of Africa
Raughy speaking, Africa is divided
into zones- The region of the heaviest
ranfall lies just a little above the
J equator and to the south of that circle.
In this section of the continent they
have bundanee of vegetation, swell
ing streams, forests thick with an
iindils and natural crops. The in
habitants have no struggle whatever
orf a livelihood
To the north and the south of this
zone are two others, having less
rainfall and less vegetation. Here
man mut cultivate the fields- Still
farther to thenorth and south of these
areas are regions of still much
less rainfall and vegetation- The in
habitants here engage in pastorial
occupations
Around the equator where there
is so necessity for work and in the
arid regions where industry receives
such mail returns, there is little in
tellectual progress, ae a result of the
natives being compelled to control
certain forces of nature in order to
“Necessity has been the mother of
invertion.”
QUOTATIONS FROM
NEGRO AUTHORS
"Unfortunately the whole question
of the Negro has been beclouded by
misrepresentation as has no other
social question before the American
eople, and the race asks simply
first of all that the tissue of depre
cation raised by prejudice be done
away with in order that it may be
judged nd etimated for its quality."
Benjamin Brawky in "Social History
•f the American Negro-”

“What do we owe our graduate*
We owe them the encouragement and
opportunity to serve their people as
other races are doing- To do this
effectively, we must unite and build
business enterprise iwhich they may
find dignified and gainful employ
ment-”— Shreveport Sun. May 19.
1984
WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT US,
"While the Negro in the South, as
I know him. is a happy man, as hu
man happiness goes, I hardly know
a more tragic and pathetic figure
than the Negro in the North, as I
have observed him there during the
past thirty years- His plight is the
plight of the mock, the trustful, and
the sensitive who has become the
victim of complete disillusion- In
most cases he has entered in in
dustrial slavery far more exacting
and complete than that existed in
this country prior to emancipation:
and his condition is unrelieved by
those sympathetic and kindly ministra
tions that alone could ameliorate his
state-” Archibald Rutledge in “The
Negro in the North” _
STILL SOME HOPE FOR
ANTI LYNCH BILL
Friends of Measure Seek Agreement
to Limit Debate and Allow Vote
to Be Taken; Senators Costigan
and Wagner Confer with Pre
sident Roosevelt
Washington, D- C—There if still
some hope for a vote on the Cotigan
Wagner anti.lynching bill at this
1 session- If negotiations now in pro
gress are succesful, debate will be
I limited and a vote taken prior to ad
journment.
Senators Costigan and Wagner
: conferred with President Roosevelt
yesterday, but no word on the anti
I lynching measure was given out al- j
though it is known they discussed !
it thorughly with the Chief Executive-1
They were accompanied to the White!
House by Walter White, N. A. A- C- j
P- secrteary. but Mr. Write did not
share in their conference with the
It is expected that a conference
wil be held today among key senators
which will seek an agrement to the
limit debte on the bill to two hours (
and allow a vote to be taken- Sena-,
tor Joseph Robinson of Arkansas,
leader of the enate, is the key man in
these negotiations- If he can be per
suaded, all well and good; if not,
then there is little chance of any ac
tion on the bill.
“Over His Dead Body”
^meng the remarks going the
rounds is one said to have been made
by Senator Hubert D- Stephens, of
Mississippi, to the effect that the
anti-lynch bill would be passed only
“over my dead body ”
Senator Walter George of Georgia,
is also known as open foe of the bill,
but he is not as violent as Senator
Stephens Senator Robinson, senate
leader, is cool, but not openly hos
tile.
Friends of the bill still insist that
if it is brought up it will pass “like
a shot-” It is because the foes of
the bill know this that they are de
termined to keep it from even coming
to a vote
Meanwhile it is still most necesary.
Secretary White declared, for all or
ganizations and individuals who want
this bill passed, to keep writing or
telegraphing President Roosevelt urg
ing him to have the bill brought up for
a vote at this session
