Henry Armstrong, feather
weight champion. That line
means a title holder who might
be introduced to you as Henry
Jackson of St. Louis. Henry de
parted some five or six years
ago for California, with no
blare of trumpts or big send-off
from the people of St. Louis.
Only a lad who believed in
himself could have gone so far
from home to make himself
world famous. He hooked up
with Wirt Ross, a fight man
ager who believes that colored
boys are capable of holding
their own with {he best fighters
ever produced. Ross also has
Young Peter Jackson. Recent
ly Henry defeated Baby Ar
mendzi for the featherweight
championship after battering
his way up in the featherweight
division.

Negro Housing
Conditions Tn Pa.
Phildelphia, Sept. 26—(ANP)—
Where do colored people live in
Phildelphia? In what kind of hous
es ? And what living facilities do
they enjoy? These and similar
questions can now be answered
since the completion of a close and
comprehensive study of colored
housing made under the supervi
sion of Adolph Siegrast, superin
tendent, Phildelphia Real Proper-,
ty Survey.
The data, made public through
John H. Rankin, director of Dis
triots 4 and 5, Works Progress
Administration, were obtained dur
ing a recent city-wide Real Pro
perty Survey under the Civil
Works Administration and further
studies are being made under the
sponsorship of Thomas A. Logue,
secretary, Internal Affairs of the
Commonwealth of Pa.
Figrues Reveal Poor Houses
Structures occupied by colored
people—47,884 in total—are main
ly of single-family type—83.8 per!
cent; and 90.0 per cent of their
dwellings are row houses. Colored
people occupy 2,721 structures of
the store-and-dwelling type—which
miake up 4.7 per cent of their
structures containing four or more
household dwelling units.
One of the most significant tabl
es of the data is that covering ape
of structures. Of the total number
of houses less than 10 years old,1
47,432 of these newer structure
frere occupied by whites, but onl> j
634 by colored—or 1.3 per cent. As
the table mounts into the older
ape groups, colored occupancy
pains in percentage—reaching 42.2
percent for buildings 100-years
okl or over—-of which 2,227 are
occupied by colored people. Per-,
haps the most telling comparison
in this connection is found in the
mediam apes for white and colored
housing, which are 32.7 years for
white and 52.7 for colored.
Less Than One-Third Colored
Houses in “Good” Condition
It is also significant that leiss
than a third of the colored houses
were found in “good” condition
and almost half of them needed
repairs. Of the vacant housing in
neighborhoods, 3,390 of the struc
tures were unsuitable for use.
Rented houses unsuitable for use
numbered 7,215.
No. Water, Heat, or Bathrooms
As regards living facilities the
data for colored housing shows
855 structores not equipped with
heating apartus, and the percent
age of houses having no running
water either in the house or yard
is 1.2 per cent while the city fig
ure is 0.4 per cent. Dwellings with
out bathrooms number 9.3 per cent
for the entire city, while for color
ed housing the figure is 21.1 per
cent, this percentage being -about
the same for bathtubs and showers.
As regard# gas 'and electric in
stallations, lack of these facilities
is greater in the colored dwellings
and the percentages for houses
having no indoor water closets, are
7.5 Iper cent for the city and 19.6
per cent for colored buildings.

St Louis—Frequently we notice
women who have given a great
deal of time and attention to their
‘appearance, and yet have careless
ly overlooked some simple little
detail which spoils the whole ef
fect.
Women who wear short-sleeved
summer frocks or sleeveless even
ing gowns sometimes neglect their
unattractive elbows, which detract
from the well-groomed appearance
every woman should have. Even
when a wealth of attention is lav
ished on the hair, the complexion
and the hands, no woman can look
her best if household tasks have
left her elbows reddened, chapped
or calloused.
Its easy to keep our elbows look
ing slim ‘and attractive if we will
give them the same consideration
we give our hands or fingernails.
Don’t acquire tho habit of lean
ing on the elbows everytimo you
sit down. This is the chief cause
of many enlarged unattractive el
bows. Watch for this tendency in
yourself, -and if you find that you
frequently sit with your chin cup
ped in your hands and your elbow
rotating on the table or chair-arm,
break yourself of the habit
The appearance of the elbows
can be improved considerably by
messaging them with a beauty
cream, or with olive oil. With one
arm extended straight forward,
