Bozeman for (ANP)—Through out 10,000 mile tour of Dixie, I find the 80 percent of our dark brethren who yet call Dixie home are in many ways growing into what can be considered a commer cial Competitor. Along the great Gulf coast and deep into bordering states are found, where state high ways lead, filling stations intelli gently operated by Negroes and patronized by all races. In Galves ton, Tex., J point with pride to the! Webb Furniture store in the heart of the uptown (white) business! in fact, over 50 perci nt of his district and der.ling with all races, business comes from whites. In Pensacola, Fla., you will find the Negro ic ecream king of American, Ernest,. Singleton, whoe.s company supplies the entire na.vy at Pen sacola with ice cream, and he is the leading man in his field re gardless of color. As a land ownei' and real estate | dealer as well as farmer, the deep south Negro is gradually catching his stride in the struggle for some thing of his own. The economic de pression taught a valuable lesson that no college nor university could offer. Land owned by our race in Yazoo County. Miss alone is valu ed at more than $3,941,596, and buildings at $1.600,234. Twelve other counties in the deep South exceed Yazoo in acres of land owned by Negroes. T. J. Huddleston, Sr., fraternal leader in the Delta, is said to own more than 2.500 acres of the richest farm land in th • world, more than Delta land than any other individ ual in America. The new Ameri can bvanzemoon is beginning to bran b off into every line of busi ness and receives the support of all men whenever the right technique is applied. No, not “Uncle Tom” stuff, but pure business efficiency. If you should visit such places : as Natchez. Miss., Columbus, Ga.J and Orowlev, I>a., you would be amazed to find so much downtown, property owned by Negroes and in most cases rented by white busi- j ness whenever there is an excess amount. I could bring to you sever- j al other such situations in the ■ South where most people think of the Negro only as the ex-slave; found in the cotton field or the | log cabin. Negro business leagues j are fast growing into prominence, educating the business man. Patronize Our Advertisers Invisible Sunlight atBunbar Bank to Golden Gate Expos. San Francisco, May 7—Invisi he sunlight, imprisoned within the walls <\£ an amazing new lamp ami bombarding chemiccal powders, w<H duplicate b.U the pas tel tints o tthe rainbow in a $1, I 000.000 night illuminatiom extra ! vaganza fur the pala. es <f the Golden Gale International Exposi tion, to be held next year on 1 lei sure Island in San Francisco Bay. This was announced by W. r*. Day. Exiiosition Vice President and Director of Works. Simulta neously in New York General Electric engineers announced their new tubular fluorescent lamp to the world. New “cool” light sour ces, producing colors rivaling the rainbow, are made possible by the ew lamp and will have their lirst large scale outdoor applicu ion at California's $60,000,000 Exposition. Twenty-three hundred of these .ew, revoltionary lighting tubus will be used in specially designed floodlights for providing colored Rumination of the walls in the Court of the Moon. Court of Re flection^ Court of the Seven Seas, Court of Flolwers and other loca tions, according to A. F. Dicker ion, Manager of Genearl Electric’s illuminating laboratory and Il luminating Engineer of th Exposi tion. The possibilities of colored il ' lumimi.tion in exterior use are greatly multiplied by the devel opment of this new fluoresent tube,” Dickerson said. Efficiencies in terms of colored light have been stepped up in some cases as much as 1(H) to 1. Under this new light the walls of the ■ourts will become luminous and irridesent in color shades and toros which heretofore have been artist’s dreams that seemed beyond practical accomplishment. For the first time we are able to mix lights as we do paints and pro duce the theatrical results on large irons as a reasonable cost that Dive been limited in the past to the stage due to the expense." Fluoresent powders compounded and specially heat-treated in the company's Nela Park laboratories hold th” secret of the e'f;"ior,i.,v and color-producing qualities of the new light argon ga* as low pressure and a conting of fluores cent powders, selected a .ml blend ed to produce the color of light desired, When erurent is applied, the ar goun servos as a “starter” and in a fraction of a second « feeble blue light with a large component of invisible ultra-violet radiation is generated inside the tube. This radiation stiikls the fluorescent coating and is re-radinted in the visible range of spectrum. Each powder has its own characteristic wave-band with ihs responds to the ultra-violet, thus forming its own particular color of emitted 'ight.

I think we women have learned that that is the case. “Minority groups are in very much the same position that women are in. There is always fill in the community, remember that it will require the best that is in you. It will require you to do the' best, while you are here, in preparation. It will require you to learn all you can of practical things, of academic things; but, above everything else, it will re quire character. No one can suc ceed without character. It is the most important preparation that any of us can have, to learn to control ourselves and to force our selves to do the best that is in us, instead of be:ng content to get by. A great many of the young people who came to my house frequently tell me that they are all right in school or in college— oh, yes, they get by—and I a ways long to tell them that thew may get by in college in their examin ations or with their felLof stu dents who are their fellow stu in life it is not good enough to get by. You will have to do a great deal hotter than that, if you are going to contribute something to the community in which you live and to the demoerack which today is o ntrial as a form of govern ment in the world.” At the conclusion of the ad dress, while the audience was giv ing Mrs. Roosevelt an ovation, a young woman student presented her with a mammoth bouquet. Be fore she could conclude her thanks, group of students uncover ed the stand before which 'she had been speaking. It was, un known to her, a replica of the desk used by Washington in New York —said to be a gift from General Lafayette.

Immediatey after the exercises in Ogden Hall, Mrs. Roosevelt was taken to a reviewing stand, erect ed for her, and witnessed “Re treat” by the battalion, the cadets passing in review before her.
