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.

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.

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

“THIS WEEK
IN RELIGION &
THOUGHT”
by ROBERT L. 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.

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
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. Company, direct. Address:
The Walker Building, Indian
apolis, Indiana.
