great heighth wtih amazingly de
ceptive speed, great passing and an
uncanny ability to score from long

the Dragon ace, features a great
passing, shooting game with a de
ceptive change of pace, dribbling
ability that has riddled opposing
defenses and set up Dragon scor

Urban Centers Junior baskct
eers, not to be outdone by their
older brothers, selected their 1939
40 basketball stars and will battle
for All Star supremacy Saturday
night at old Omaha U in prelimin

talent and will leave much to the
imagination as arguments wax hot
as to who is and who isn’t.'
Anyway here they are:
Lineup—Lee McDavis led a
squad of black jerseyed Aces in a
hectic campaign that, unfinished,
as yet, remains to be decided. Lc

Gerald McGaugh, Tiger defensive

LOST IN A FOG—
Maybe some of you are wonder
ing why “Doing the Stroll” wasn’t
in the paper last week. I don’t
know either. All I can say I wrote
it and put in the proper place. What
became of the script is a mystery
to me so therefore I am goin to try
again—then on the other hand,
some of you don’t give a darn.

THANKS A MILLION—
Mr. Charlie Williams for yourj
consideration of the poor and un
fortunate kids. Your donation can
not and will not go unnoticed by
the kids you helped. You know
how kids love to romp and play—
also how kids love baseball. But
it is awful hard for them to enjoy
themselves without the proper
togs to wear. Once again, thanks
a million.
Mr. Lem Oliver for your kind and
thoughtful donation of those lovely
shoes. You made some boy or
girl very happy. I am sure you
are happy also. One never re
grets when he is busy helping some
one who deserves help for such a
paltry sum will bring a huge div
idend. So once again thanks.
Mr. Lee Washington owner of
the Apex Bar. Words cannot ex
press the kind deed—our donation
of those shoes will spread joy all
over some youngsters’ face. As
you have a very charming daught
er of your own, you understand
how it makes a kid feel to get some
thing new that he or she really
needs. So one behalf of the kiefs
you faithfully helped, thanks a mil
lion.
Mr. E. M. McGee proprietor of
the well known and famous Tuxedo
Barber Shop. Big hearted McGee
is all I can call you from now on.
You lesponded so well anil good
—not only donated one pair—you
donated 3 pair to such a worthy
cause. You covered up six little
feet. For all you know you may
have prevented a serious cold by
putting those shoes on those young
sters feet. So once again thanks
a million.
The Champion—Yes the name is
just right you people are champs
for only kindly deeds stand out and
all champs stand out. The way
you folks helped those kids is the
way you people treat the public.
Serve the public—delivery to the
public like only champion does. So
on behalf of the kids you helped,
thanks a million.
Mr. E. R. Brown the tall saxa
phone player who toots those beau
tiful notes for Charlie Williams and
his five musical rascals. Mr.
Brown I never heard you play, but
if your notes are as good as your
J generosity you are headed for big
ger things in life—so thanks to
you kindly.
I
BADMINTON TOURNAMENT —
There will be an open Badminton
Tournament held at the Old Omaha
U Gym the night of March 30, 1940
All interested male or female,
please leave your name with Marty
Thomas at the Urban League ('en
ter. Polly Gordon.
TAKE IT EASY—
That’s just what I mean Cow
boy. T he traffic cop will get you
for speeding. You sure made the
little lady awfully salty. Why you
danced with 4 different little lad
ies and you hugged five right in
front of her. Remember the old
saying it’s all right to chase the
bear, but not so hot when the bear
starts chasing—beware.
kingfish—
The next time you better take a
couple of horse shoes to put in your
gloves. Why the best artist in
town couldn’t paint two beautiful
colored eyes like that guy planted
on you. Say Neal take a fool’s
advice and come out of that game
before you will be fighting every
time you hear astreet car bell ring.
SLEEPING BEAUTY—
TeBone says Tom Moore, sleeps
too long and late to make those
lunches. Try goin’ to bed early is
the only solution and stop chick
hunting so late. TeBone says if
Lynwood Hall don’t hurry up and
(trab a mule very spon (well move
over plute).
Sure Sign of Spring—
Seen on the stroll Saturday nite
Some new faces but familiar Mrs.
Hands Sims decided that winter
is just about over so I am goin’ out
and look the folks over. Looking
stunning and very chick also Miss
VViila West in company with Mrs.
Sims. Mr. John Sims, Mr. Travis
Dixon, Mrs. Judy Mae Lawson, Mr.
I' red Dixon seem to be having a
most enjoyable afternoon. Miss
Phylliss Davis and Mr. Herb Mc
( aw making the hot spots with both
arms filled with groceries. This
man ain’t taking no chances, he se
(uied his food first. Bright idea.
Mi. John Adams doing a whole lots
of talking and not politics either.
Say John the dry goods store clos
s before 1:30 a. m.—tie a string
BE CAREFUL MAN—
Some few months ago you tried
to take a telephone receiver away
from Papa Birch. All the boys
thought you were batty for trying
to commit suicide. So they soon
forgot your crude way of having
fun, then you come right back with
another boner. During the dance
you tried your best to start a fight
with the trumpet player. After
all the band hires you and the
dance loving public pays you. So
you insulted them both. Get wise
kid before it is too late. I seen a
many one like you loose (get me).
GET ME—
Don’t be surprsied if you see a
well known figure wearing one of
Commissioner Jepsen's blue suits
in the very near future. You see
him every day and he is a right guy
of course. There are some who
can’t use him to their advantage.
Disapprove of his appointment,—
but here’s hoping he starts to work
very soon.
PAINTING THE TOWN RED—
Who said they never come back.
You told me a fib. My good friend
Dutch Thomas decided the time was
ripe to throw one of those real old
time parties like only a real old
timer knows how to throw. Yes,
yes, he made all the spots. Not
only treated his own party to all
their wants but set the whole house
up on two occasions. Yes they
lCOmeback‘_4,1 .JJ
JUST A RUMOR—
Words come to me that they con
fisticated his noise box—radio (not
true). Mr. Davis of the Omaha
Outfitting says you can get it back
or another one just like it or a
smaller one, but you will have to
meet your obligation as you prom
ised. Why not drop around and
talk the situation over. You can
-also get a victrola with a complete
set of the latest records or you can
take it out in coal. So button up
your coat and drop in when you
1 cool off.
QUACKS—
Their gigantic Style Revue and
Dance will soon be here. So plan
now there will be plenty of seats
for everyone.
EMERSON-SARATOGA—
Stopped in to get my one shirt.
Mr. Hines invited me in the back
to look his new Zoric Cleaning
plant over—installed at a cost of
seven thousand dollars (not hay eh)
Just to give those spring garments
a real thorough cleaning like you
would want them also pointed out
Mr. Charles Bryant who celebrat
ed his 81st birthday last week, who
has been in the employ of Mr. Hin
es for 26 years steady and still
working. Mr. Hines has told Mr.
Bryant several times to retire on
his same salary, but to no avail.
So you see Mr. Bryant is a perm
anent fixture in that laundry. May
he reach the century mark.
I was also pointed out 11 more of
our people who are steady employed
and well satisfied with their jobs.
Mr. Hines wishes to thank all of
our people for their past patron- i
age and hopes to give you the same
good service as always also look
ing forward for better business so
he can hire 11 more. So dig out
that spring coat and those spring
togs—Emersori-Saratoga.
BLUE ROOM—
I he bar filled—the Blue room
filled—so therefore there was an
overflow crowd.
H&M—
The same as above upstairs fill
ed—downstairs filled—where they
come from I don’t know. Yes busi
ness is good, thanks.
20 GOODFELLOWS WANTED
To donate 1 or 2 pair of tennis sho
es for some poor kid who needs
them awfully bad. Please help—
won’t you? I know you will.
THANKS A MILLION—
To the Ritz Theatre for your kind
ness and thoughtfulness 6 more
feet are out of the weather. Thank
you. If you coud only see the
smile on those youngsters faces
when they received your gifts, you
would feel very happy for the dur
ation of the wear of the shoes. So
once again thanks.
Ll'X BARBER SHOP—
One of the oldest Barber shops
in town is waiting to serve you in
the persons of Mr. Richard (Dick)
Taylor also Mr. Me G. Dixon and
Mr. Bill Stallworth. So drop ar
ound and see Dick. There are
plenty of your friends to be found
there at all times.
TAYLOR VARIETY SHOP—
There is no mistake in the name
of thsi shop I am sure. Dropped
afternoon to my surprise
the place was crow’ded. To the
rear all the Hep cats listened to all
those real good records. I mean
good because they were the latest
that there is. Hung around about
one half hour, decided to get my
last pair kicks shined up a bit and
when that boy got through with
my shoes they looked like new—
No foolin’. Taylor told me he had
records from ten cents and up.
Some 12 for 1 dollar and they are
good too. The latest tunes by all
the big bands. So drop around and
get your shoes shined and ask to
hear your favorite torch by your
favorite band. If not in stock it
will be in 48 hours—no foolin’.
See you next week—STAN.
WRONG NUMBER
A cobbler christened his estab
lishment "The Boot Hospital.” A
customer brought him a pair of
boots which would have disgraced a
tramp, says London Tit-Bits Maga
zine.
"Shouldn’t have these mended if
I were you," said the cobbler. "I
would throw ’em away.”
"But I want them mended," was
the reply. "This is supposed to be
a hospital for boots, isn’t it?”
"Yes, it’s a ‘ospital all right,” re
joined the cobbler, “but it ain’t a
mortuary.”
Spare the Rod
“I say, pa,” said little Tommy,
“didn’t you tell me the other day
that it was wrong to strike anyone
smaller than yourself?”
“Yes, Tommy, that’s what I
said," confessed the fond parent.
"Well, I wish you’d write my
teacher a note to that effect,” said
the youngster. "1 don’t think she
knows about it."
Competition
Business man—Well, if it isn’t
John Corcoran, the man I met up
in Maine one rainy night six years
ago at the Moose River Junction
railway station.
Salesman—Good-by, sir.
Business man—Aren’t you going
to try and sell me something?
Salesman—No, I sell memory
training courses.
THE PROOF
First Castaway—Yes, this island’s
inhabited all right. Just saw five
white men, all trying to sing "Sweet
Adeline.”
Second Ditto — Thank heavens!
We’re in a civilized country.
Ticked Off
Finally, with a weary sigh, the
Boss gave in. “Then you want all
the office furniture insured?" asked
the triumphant salesman.
"All except the clock,” sighed the
Boss. “Everybody watches that.”
Time to Change
"I’ve had enough of all these Jew
els, cars and furs!”
"Ah! You want to retire to the
country?”
"No! I want new jewels, new
cars and new furs!”
Let Him Finish
Bell-boy—Boss, the man in 467
has done hung hisself!
Manager—Good Heavens! Did you
cut him down?.
Bell-boy—Deed, no, boss—he ain’t
dead yet.
Case of Indigestion
"Hello, Moses, wot's de matter
wid ye?”
"Indigestion.”
"How’s dat?”
"Hain't had nuthin’ to digest late
ly.”
Nuff ’Snuff
Mo—I say, why don’t you get a
larger paint brush? You could do
twice as much work.
Lasses—'Cause Ah ain’t got twice
as much work to do. das why!
Share and Share
"I can bear your new radio set
as though it were in my room.”
“Well, what about helping to pay
off some of the installments?”—At*
lanta Constitution.

A Prominent Business
Woman Praises Mme. C J.
Walker's Preparations
"I use Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations exclusively be
cause I get results from them
that I am unable to get from any
other preparation.’’ stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam C. J. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result of
years of experimenting to pro
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh
ing. Just the thing for these hot
days.
The Mme. C. J. Walker’s won
derful preparations are sold by
Walker Beauticians and Drug
Stores everywhere, or you can

Merit of "Build-Uo"
A woman s periodical distress
from headaches, nervousness, irri
tability, cramp-like pain may be
due to this fault: functional dys
menorrhea brought on by an under
nourished condiotiln
There’s convincing proof of this
in the way so many women and
girls are helped by CARDUI. Be
cause it usually stimulates appet
ite and the flow of gastric juice;
so aids digestion; helps to build up
physical resistance to periodic dis
tress for many users.
Otheis, who take it a few days
before and during “the time” have
found CARDUI helps ease their
periodic distress. Used 50 years.
