This week I’m going to describe
the Eagles and the Panthers of
the Urban Hi-League.
THE Eagles are the rtiost im
proved team inthe league. Weld,
on ' Sonny” Ross, a great fonnist,
J. C. Hunter, a burly center> Rue
sell “Fartfa” Smith, their captain,
Appollo Faison and Herman Cole
man, both reserves, all have im
proved greatly. They acquired
Allie Ellington a guard and Nate
"Mister” Mills up from the grade
loop, to strengthen their team .
The Panthers are the weakest
club in the league. Jimmy John
son, a fair forward .John Harris
on, former Aces sub, Hillard ‘Pro!’
Knox,’ Saunders who talks a good
game, Robert ‘‘Triple A” Fountain
a roughi® and Sam Veland comp
rise this squad.
Thursday night at the Urban
League, the Ramblers disposed cf
the Aces 69-67 an dthe Eagles
barely nosed out the Panthers 40

the Comets 41-29.

The larieuse Beauty Bureau was established by the f
Godefroy Manufacturing Company to study methods
of preserving women's natural beauty, and to make
the results of this research available to the public.
What is your trump card In the
game of romance?
It’s your femininity! And you
should never forget that fnct. Be
a pal. Be a companion. Be a help
mate. But remember that first, last
and always you are a woman, and
that man expects a woman to be
feminine.
I sometimes think that grand
mother was much wiser than today's
modern girl. She never made the
mistake of making herself cheap.
No lnd could come and whistle her
out of the house and have her grate
fully follow him. He had to show
her the courtesy of coming to her
door, lint In hand.
Grandma also had a shrewd
knowledge that man docs not crave
the over-ripe fruit that Is ready to
drop into ids mouth. It Is the peach
that hangs highest on the tree—that
Is the hardest to get.
So she saved her kisses for the
man to whom she gnve her heart
and who had tiled a bona-llde pro
posal of marriage with her father.
Nor did she feel that she had to
pay for being treated to a 15-eeut
soda.
And grandma stayed married . . .
while one out of six of her grand
daughters visits the divorce court!
Beauty Means Romance
I think grandma was wise enough
to study the man she hoped to
marry . . . and to study the man she
did marry. And sin- was wise
enough to continue to be romantic
after marriage.
Strangely enough, it Is grandma
today who is clean and starched,
neat and bright whenever HER man
Is around. That's one reason why
lie's continued to be HER man
throughout the years.
How often we see younger
women, careless la their appear
ance, careless In their dress. Care
less In their Use of cosmetics. And
every young man worth having
knows thnt If the young woman
hasn’t learned how to care for her
self, any cosmetologist or hair
dresser will be glad to take a few
minutes time and tell the young
woman what procedure and what
cosmetics are best for her.
Another Tip from Grandma
Grandma Is also careful with her
hair. She brushes It. She tints It
to avoid any drabness or discolora
tion. She washes It carefully, and
regularly.
She’s careful to be neat and clean
all over . . . not just In outward
appearance.
Let's pause a bit In the coolness
of the Fall months to take another
look at grandma. The Fall of the
year rivals the Spring of the year
for beauty and romance. And
grandma, in the fall of her own life,
can tell granddaughter, In the
spring of her life, whut to do and
how to do It.
Beauty means romance . . . and
romance means greater beauty In
life!

VALUE OF UNIONISM SHOWN
IN CASE OF RED CAP WHO IS
FIRED AFTER CALLEJD ‘'NIG
GER” HY DRUNKEN SOUTH
ERNER
by Frank R. Crosswaith
(General Org. ILGWU. and Chair
man, Negro Labor Comm-)
New York, (C) Once more the
value of trade union organization
to Negro workers has been amply
demonstrated, in a most dramatic
way.
The United Transport Servicl,'
Employees Union ,the Red Cap's
organization has fought and won
the case of Ben Ransaw who had
worked for ten years as a Red
Cap in Grand Central Station. One
day last summer Ransaw was car.
Tying the bags of an elderly Ne
gro passenger who was sick, and
who wanted and needed a cab to
take him home. As the Red Cap
was placing the passenger’s bag,
two white men coming behind him
probably Southerners and certain
ly drunk, began cursing and swear
ing at him. They called, him a
‘‘damned nigger” and demanded
that he and the passenger for
whom he called the cab, give up
the cab to them although they
were clearly behind him in the line
of people seeking cahs.
Ransaw defended the Negro pas
senger’s right to the cab success
fully, and the cab drove off; but
the twtot drunken white “gentle
men” attempted to strike Ransaw
and in the melee which resulted he
shoved one of them. They de
manded that the mater be taken
up with th«| station master- To
this Ransaw agreed expecting con

fidentially to.be sustained, because*
the whites were abusive and drunk
and without any right in the mat
ter. To his surprise, he was dis
charged on the demand of the two
men who had abused him.
But this did not end the story.
For some time Negroes in this line
of work in New York and else
where have been quietly organiz
ing into an effective trade union.
The Union carried Ransaw’s case
to the higest officials of the Rail
road but without satisfaction. The
case was taken by the union be_
fore the Railroad Labor Adjust
ment Board which has been creat
ed for the Railroad industry. As
soon as this was done, the Railway
management sought from the un
ion another hearing on the matter
The management wanted to rein
state Ransaw in his job and thus
settle the affair- But the union
demanded reinstatement with full
seniority rights, removal of any
blot on Ransaw’s record as an em
ployee and full back pay for the
time since the discharge and the
unemployment compensation
wdiich he had drawn irieanwhile.
On this basis with full reinstate
ment on his job and with all of
his rights, the case was settled.
SHREVEPORT REALTORS
OBJECT TO LOW COST
HOUSING FOR NEGROES
Shreveport, La. Dec. IS (ANP)
After a bitter fight put up by the
real estate dealers of the city, the
city council voted to ask for a mil
lion dollar loan from the federal
authority for constructing a low
cost housing unit for clearing a
slum district in the colored section
of the town.
While the realtors debated the
matter before the city council and
brought anin vestment company
official from Oklahoma City to
speak in their behalf, they were
finally overridden and an emerg
ency ordinance was passed author
iznig that an immediate applicat
ion for the loan he made to the
USHA.
The Saddo Taxpayers associat
ion and Shreveport Real Estate
board published and distributed a
booklet in which they gave reas
ons why a low cost unit should
not be built, saying that Negroes
of the city would not be able to
live in one of the houses because
the rent would be prohibitive. The
booklet went further on to say
that the hiuses which now rent for
$5 a month ‘ are as good as they
need.”
't was the professional opinion
of J. Wilson Swann of Oklahoma
C cy, that the living conditions a
niong Negroes in the town were
as good as they needed to be. K«
ecntinuously referred to the Col
umbus, O' Negro project, saying
that “the houses that were tom
town to build this project were
nice 2_story frame houses, about
40 years old, once occupied by
whites. From four to six famil
ies Mved in them paying $7 or $8
each per month, and they were as
good as they ought to have.”
MRS. PARKER RE-ELECTED
BY NEGRO ORPHAN HOME
New York (C)—For the 27th
time, Mrs. Williard Parker was e
lected President of the Colored
Orphaned Asylum and Association
for the Benefit of Colored Child
ren at the Institution, 104th an
nual meeting. She has been a
trustee for 46 years.
Describing homeless Negro
children as “American refugees’’,
Mrs. Parker said there were “50
colored youngsters in temporary
shelters with no families to care
for them and no place to go.
They have been referred to us
at the Colored Orphan Ajsylum,
but we already are using more
than a dollar a week a child, more
than our income( for everyone of
the 650 children now under our
care."
