MISS LILA PRYOR JUST COULDN’T TAKE IT Lawn Social Brings Tears To Young Lady _ o. Miss Lila Pryor looked up and saw Mr. Kdward Wiggins turn tht turner, arm in arm with an other girl and she just couldn’t take it. The rest ef the evening was spent in hot resentment tears. Miss Pryor was very business like about this matter. She first took it up with her father and moth er. and they from all outward ap pearances, thought that Lila had been mistreated. Then the little miss that was walking arm-in-arra with Mr. Wiggins, who possessed those uncontrollable Grace Moore eyes, which were casted upward into the downward cast face of Mr Wiggins, when they were taking that little stroll, was call ed into question about the ro mance w'alk, she seemingly could not see where she had committed anything wrong. Some said that she informed them that it was her duty toduty as one of the hostess es for the evening to see that ev eryone had an enjoyable evening. About this time the little miss and her mtoher met face to face about this matter. Her mother seemingly took part With Miss Pryor and her parents. The little lady just turned and went about her evening affairs and said noth ing. Lila was yet weeping. Some of the other gills s: id that Lila Mas just a little, someMhat timid. Some seem to thihk that what she s hould have dime, Mas to gTab a couple of veung men. Math a satisfied double smile, by the arm. and went for a stroll her self. They thought thsi Mould kind of even up matters. Young sters ar% very changeable and some jump from one girl to the other trying to make up their mind.

What A Subscriber Thinks of The Omaha Guide July 18, 1935 The Omaha Guide Publishing Co., 2418 Grant Street, Omaha. Nebraska. Attention Mr. Galloway: It gives me pleasure to compliment the change for betterment in the kind of news items you are publishing. Our Negro periodicals are so much needed for the proper instruction and elevation of our people. We would know very little about the advance ment and the trials of our race if it wasn’t for our Negro papers. I think we are getting a little more consid-' eration from periodicals other than our own, but we are still sadly left out of the head-lines for the good things we are doing and scarcely any thing said about the injustices against our people. So let the good, clean news be published, not gossip. Sincerely, Mrs. Russel Taylor. Kansas City Visitors Mr. Pike Johnson, sponsored a lawn party for his out of town {guests, Miss Mae Jones .Mrs. 01 {lie Hadrick. Mr. Andrew Peter son. Mr. Jasper Franklin and Mr. Ralph McCantz of Kansas City. All of this happened at the resi dence, 604 No. 22nd St. Will be seeing you. Bye, Bye, Kansas City. WHAT KIND OF A GUN DOES HEDNEY ROSS OWN •Jesse Pluc-k Simmons thinks that bullets curve so nicely. About 11 P. M.. things began to happen on Grant Street .the noted auto mobile wrecking corner. One shot was fired and the group scattered and then reassembled again. The officer could not find out who fired the gun. An Omaha Guide Reporter, appeared on the scene and heard the following remark ed by Paul Haze. Mr. Haze was talking to Misses Ethel Cole, Dorothy Bell and three other girls Paul Haze said that his brother, Iman Haze, 2909 Xo. 25th Street, seemingly went cra py about his girls and refuses to give them up and he followed a car. driven by Mrs. Eloma Robin with his ex-wife, Marie Haze, in it to 2221 Xo. 25th Street and in sisted that she remain outside. When his ex-wife attempted to ascend the steps of the porch, he heard someone open the door at 2221 and a revolver was noticed and a shot fired- i Pluck thought he was shot, when he turned the corner and fell. The car beaming this person, drove away. Someone notified the police de partment and when the cruiser icar arrived, nobody seemed to I know anything. The o fficers were unable to find out just what had happened. A large crowd had been attracted to the Beene of the shooting, and you could not get through Grant street. It is alleged that Mr. H. Ross, 2221 No. 21, when asked for a statement by the Omaha Guide reporter, said that he knew nnth ing about what had happened. He is reporte dto have been in the house, and that Mrs. Iman Haze lives at his home, Mr. Ross stat ed everyone has a right to protect their home when people try to force themselves into your home when tlmy are not wanted. Seek Reason Why 64-Year-Old Man’s Body Turns White Columbia, S. C., July 31, ANP — Physicians and dermatologists here are endeavoring to discover thereason why Willianm Pickens White, who after being dark for 63 years, has now turned white, although otherwise the man is normal. White told the medical men here Tuesday, July 23. that about 17 years ago a white spot came on his forehead and a barber gave his some salve to put on it. The salve did 1dm no good and the spot grew larger and was fol lowed by another spot. In a short time his whole body turned white. a ' l T. advertisers, far too few, but among them many of the wisest and shrewd JL est, realize the tremendous and steadily mounting purchasing power of the American Negro. Others erroneously visualize him as a negligible, illiterate, unimportant consumer. It’s time for truths and facts about this great but inadequately exploited market which can be reached only SSSBBS3B through the NEGRO PRESS. NEGRO PURCHASING POITER . 12.000.000.000.00 (V. S.

And these news papers are National in Character, not the organs of political groups, not confined to petty local issues but devoted to the interests and news of the Negro Race. To an almost un believable extent the Negro saves and rereads his newspaper and passes it on to other readers. As an Advertising medium it approaches a magazine in productiveness—brings in in quiries, influences or creates sales, weeks and months after its date of issue.

KET"—says the United Suites Department of Commerce. (Photostatic copy of this govern ment report available upon request.) But just how big is $2,000,000,000.00? In money value it is equivalent to 95.5% of the combined total United States Exports to all countries in the world. It is larger by one-third of a billion than the entire imports of Germany, exceeds the total imports of France by one-half billion, tops the combined U. S. Exports to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Central America, the Vest Indies and Bermuda by nearly one and one-quarter billions and leaves the individual world imports of such countries, as Japan. Hol land. Belgium, Italy, Canada and British India trailing anywhere from a billion and a quarter to a billion and one-half behind! Vhat is the character of this Market? It is a compact, segregated, easily reached, exceedingly roeepuve RACIAL GROUP, unified, homogene ous; bound by the common bond of Color and Racial interests. Tbs typical Negro is Ameri can to the core and brought up in American and one-half million of its sons and daughters gainfully employed right now.
