LET’S CHAT WeU folks I’m' certainly glad to be hack with you after a week’s vacation with some killing: inflatn. n inti on about our good brothers and sisters. DUMB OR D— Well folks I guess a certain little lady is still knocking around tliesc joints on 24th st.,—She has worked in about every joint on the alvctiue. Rut before she left her last position at the Apex bar an other lady walks up to her and said “Listen hussey, was you out vrtith my old man Tuesday night.’’ This smart little girl said, yes, you snake in the grass. I was out with your hot poppa. Boy right then J started to move, because I thought this young lady should have been crossin’ the Douglas St. bridge for those fighting words, but 1 guess sho was so dumb or just didn't give a dam.

ELECTRICITY IS SEE YOUR DEALER OR THE NEBRASKA POWER COMPANY NOSING AROUND COLORED OMAHA —by PWR HOMICIDE RATE DOWN— Not many years ago, Wo eould expect an outbreak of ‘'passions'’ murders at thi8 time of year. Something has happened too that annual habit it seems. Beginning with the hot weather the wave of killing occurred with the regularity of the sun’s rising. “Man Slays W5fe,” “Hubby Kills Rival’’ “Man Dead Over Crap Game", were the headliners told of the annual, slaughter in those days. In spitp of the great number of such killings, authorities often had trouble convicting the perpet rators. Negroes, they said were reluctant to testify against an other Negro in these cases. Often persons known to have willfully committed murder, went free or served very little time be cause of lack of witnesses. Maybe the# law is becoming harsher, or maybe we are less in clined to murder each other. At any rate there is a very noticeably decrease in th,e«e crimes. IT WOULDNT WORK Back at the turn of the century a railroad imported a large group ocf colored people to poptuLaie a part of western Npbraska. The clonists weie given neces sary equimenti to raise crops, build, homes in the area wlhich chiefly consisted of rich fertile iland, id'*al for agricultural purposes, Evidently the erstwhile colon ists weren’t of back-to-farm mind pd, for after a couple <xf years trial the railroad folks gave up.

OUR INTERESTING PEOPLE DEPT.— Wje mot him at “Pop'’ Huey’s Green Tree the other night. He had entertained us vrfth a routine a which consisted of a rope «>s)rap|e (iriok, a jeU eating stunt and a balancing feat we recall. His name he said, was Thomas Wendell Feral., originally from Hattiesburg. Mjiss. He picked up his profession while walking a round circuses and carnivals or_ ound the country. He came to Omaha from Los Angeles “beating” his way by rail. First appearance here was at the BlUeroo/m, It wlas following this engagement, he then hied him Belf to the other end of Chocolate avenue. Tho his nenuiiieration irom thrice nightly skits is anything gut huge, he goes through his act with admirable confidence. He said the hard knocks count for nothing when one has a goal in view That goal, he explained to me, was tl\e stage. Wie hope he attains his goal, for iwe would! enjoy seeing a sepian magician and an escape artist on the stage.

MOODY Negro Improvement— The following statements are quoted from) the ‘'Pilgrim Holi kiess Advocate’ and tie “United Presbyterian” They are facts about which we should be proud but they also reveal much room for greater achievement by us with the cooperation of other; groups. “There are 12.000,000 Negroes in the United States, and the great, eist improvements in the race have came since the beginning of the world W|ar. There are no<w 120 Negro institutions of higher learn ing with 35,000 students of col lege grade, 2,457 of collegiate pro fessional grade and twice the entire number studying college subjects. The first Negro colleg iate graduate in America was from Bowdoiin College in 1826. The number of Negroes now hold ing academic *nd professional de grees is 32,478. Abcut 63.8 per. cent are men and 36.2 percent are wtomen. Tbe largest numerical group comes from parents nedther of whom could read. The bulk of these graduates enter the profes sional field. Nearly 200 have incomes of $5,000 or more; the medium high school salary of graduates is more imperative than ever. Th re is one white physician to every 728 white people, but only one Negro physician to every 3, 126 Negroes. There is one white teacher to every 110 white child ren and one Negro teacher for ev ery 218 Negro children.” These comparisons should provoke your thought and inspire everyone of us to aim for higher goals in life.

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 l 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. j i 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 write The Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg.
