fVisiness Men
Hold Own Meeting
In Oklahoma City
Oklahoma, Dec. 15 (ANP)—Ok
lahoma City is the one outstanding
city in the nation where Negro
I uriness men have held their own.
Because of the great oil field,
that sprang up on the Negro sec-,
'.ion in 1929, Business, professional ’
•rnd educational circles have been
able to absorb their losses on one:
! ido of the ledger,, while counting :
huge profits in liquid gold which
spouted. then and is still gushing
from the earth. Local business men
have visited other sections of the
South, and have come home huch
encouraged.
‘ Wo are rather proud." said W.
J. Edwards, president of the Okla
homa City Negro Business league,
“of two aspects of our commercial
endeavor. First of all our people
are engaged in lines that are uni
que, singular and different.
“Secondly, the physical aspects
of our business district measure
up to a very high standard. Our
establishments are better housed j
than in most cities. We think that
nowhere else in America will one j
find a business area owned and
controlled by our group in modern
brick buildings and covering such
a wide compact territory,” said
President Edwards.
Mr. Edwards was speaking at a
banquet in honor of A. L. Holsey,
secretary of the National Negro
Business league. But the picture
of Oklahoma City was graphically
drawn when the toastmaster, Atty.!
H. McKinley Rowan, called upon
George R. Ragland, former presi
dent of the league and state re
presentative of Universal Life In
surance company, to ted of the
glories of the Sooner Cipital.
“You’re now in the land the
Indians called ‘Land of the Fair
Gods,” declared Ragland at the
outset of his talk. And then the
speaker began to tell of the unique
business establishments located in
Oklahoma City. “Our president sit
ting over there operates a junk
yard, but I want to tell you about
that junk yard. He did a $50,000
business in it last year; he made
enough money to buy a new addi
tion for the Negroes in this city,
and thtat investment (bat,
cost him more than $.{5,000. That
president of ours will tackle any
thing. He bought an iron foundry
several years, and nil the stop
signs, you see in tht streets were
mado in the iron foundry our presi
dent used to own.”
Ragland told of the Jay-Kola
Bottling works, owned by H, P.
James, with its huge trucks cover
ing the highways for a radius of
100 miles, selling their delicious
beverage to white and Negro cus
tomers. “And right down in the
heart of the City we have two
young Negroes who own and con
trol the only commercial sample
rooms operated by Negroes in the
known world. That’s one place we
want to show to the business men
of the nation when they hold their
convention here next year. The
Mercantile Sample Rooms owned
by the Winslett brothers is a Lind
burgh in the Negro Business
World.”
A solid block of brick buildings
houses, two theatres, a hardware
store, three drug stores, a news
paper plant, four undertaking par
lors, groceries, restaurants, night
clubs and every conceivable type
of business activity is found here.
“Wo want the world to know that
wo have more homes on paved
streets than any other city of si
miliar size in America,” declared
Ragland, “and you can tell them
ell that our own ‘Black Dispatch'
publisher is the best editorial wri
ter in the nation.”

TOUCHDOWN AGAINST
OLD JIM CROW
(Continued from page Five)
.Readers never know about the
Negro flash by watching the news
papers. You have to see Jefferson
to really appreciate him.
IT IS THESE gridiron aces who
arc playing the biggest part in
the kicking position, and has a bet
ter average for successful passes
than any other Evanston back.
It was “Jeff’ he sent North
western’s hopes for conference
honors soaring when in the closing
minutes of the game against Minn
esto with the Gophers leading 3-0
he tore thfrortgih for a winning
touchdown.
IT IS THESE gridiron aces who
are playing the biggest part in
throwing Jim Crow for a loss in
staduim both North and South of
the Mason Dixon Tine.
Negro and white fans join in
grandstand;, to wildly cheer them
on as they tote the pigskin balls
down the grass-covered gridirons
of the nation.
These three are not alone. There
are dozens of others. Horace Bell
of Minnesota Wilmeth Sidat-Singh
of Syracuse, Woodrow Wilson
Strode of UCLA, Bib Ed Williams
of New York university, and Char
les Russell of Washington.
They’ve got the fight and spirit
to toss race discrimination for a
heavy loss on the American athle
tic scene, and especially in Big
League baseball. It’s up to a Negro
and white sportsmen in the stands
and outside football gTounds to
carry the march yards more down
the field for equality regardless of
race, color or creed.

WIFE IS SICK AND TIRED OF
NO ACCOUNT HUBBY WHO
GAMBLES SALARY AWAY
Dear Miss Waters:
I am a high school graduate, 19
years of age. My parents are both
dead. I live with relatives who
are continually hinting and sug
gesting that I should marry ani
get a man to take care of me.
They go even so far as to invite
different ones over evidently think
ing or hoping that I will fall for
one of them. Now, the fact of the
matter is, I am not in love with
anyone and the fellows I like the
best seldom talk about, marriage.
The pressure gets rather hot at
times and I wonder what to do
about it. Could you assist me?
J. R. D.

Answer:
Secure yourself a job and wait
until the right man comes along.
Dear Mifrj Watters:
I have been married for eight
years and have two children My
hmband drinks and gambles almost
, all of his money away when ever
he can manage to keep sober
enough to hoi d a job. Ws are una
ble to meet our bills when due.
When I threaten to quit him he
always begs me not to leave and
promises to stop his bad habits,
the same as he did before we were
married, but after two or three
weeks he seems to forget his pro
mises and starts all over again. I
am sick and tired of this life and
can’t bear it much longer. Should
I leave him. A Mother.

Answer:
Habitual drunkards and gamb
ler. are difficult problem*; cures
are seldom effected barring some
severe ‘hock or turning points in
their lives and even then most
of them return to their old habits.
Going out into the world with
two young children to support is
net a very cask task. You might
try changing your methods of ap
proach, su,:h as gradually reducing
h1*-, dosage of his favorite past
times, if this fails, I would sug
gest you appeal to the proper do
mestic authorities ns a final resort.
Tills last suggestion would be the
most effective.
