He claims he loves me and the baby and I can’t see it. If I need pti vate advice just let me know. Ans: Women don’t seem to be the cause of his staying out nights. I firmly believe that he just likes to hang around the drug store and beer joints With a bunch of the boys but that doesn’s excuse him for neglecting his home. Why don’t you try to talk things over with him peacefully and let him know th|at it is a married man’s duty to stay with his family at night.

L.—I learned this house where I am living at the present time is going to be up for sale Should I buy it or move farther into the city? Which would be best for me? Ans: Buying a home is a Worthwhile investment, but don’t buy it just because it is for sale j • -consider the matter from a bus- j iness angle entirely. If you want it exceptionally bad, and the price is cheap, it might prove to your advantage to buy. Howev er, if it is your desire to have your DAUGHTER change her present company, it would prove to your advantage to get a place closer into the city. She will then make new friends which seems the most important thing in your mind right now. | WJWAWAV.V/.V.%V.V.V WAITERS’ COLUMN (by H. W. SMITH) yWWMVAVMV.VWA the waiters The summer clubs are all very active now as the ten days of bad weather is over and the good sun shine has appeared and we hope it will continue. We do hope the Fourth of July rain will not do any harm ***** Mr. Richardson of the Field club and Mr. Simon Harrold- of the Happy Hollow, and Mr- Johnny Fleming of the Country club and Mr. Watson of the Highland club are very busy looking after the dinner dances, bingo games and ladies’ day lunches helping the waiters give good service as all the Golfers lake quick service in hot weather. Keep the good work up boys as you are making it good for the Colored waiters in the fu ture. Mr- James Bell of the Ralston club is up after the bad accident he met with on May 30th and we truly hope he will continue to im prove and by all means be more cartful hereafter. Good luck to you, Mr. Bell, as you are always on the job We truly hope the waiters un ion will be a success and the mem bers will keep the organization VfAH/l HAVE YOUR LAUNDRY COM a" TT pleTELY FINISHED FOR ONLY -10c A POUND 1.79 10c Each Additional Pound Includes Men’s Shirts Finished AT NO EXTRA COST EMERSON - SARATOGA LAUNDRY & ZORIC DRY CLEANERS WE. 1029 Erskine At 24th DENVER D.

He has worked in some of the leading hot els from coast to coast ***** Mr. Underwood of the Fonten elle is a party man right up to the minute and the boys should give him the very best support at all times as he is very congenial to every one. ***** Mr Dave Russ, of the White Horse Inn is a very good judge of horses, as he is a very frequtnt visitor at the Ak-Sar-Ben race track. He can very often pick the winners and some times tells what horses are going to lose, and we are going to ask him how many daily doubles he has cashed in on There are qpt many extra wait ers for the downtown hotels as the Defense Jobs and the Summer Clubs are using a large number, and it keeps the boys very busy stepping on the gas, and we all know what it takes to use the quick step. ****** The Paxton Hotel will take caie of a very large party on June 25, and M. rOverton will have all he can do to keep the boys in line as he will expect the large number of men to use a quick step and ptu out the very best service and attention ***** There are quite a number of rookie9 as our schools are out and the boys are trying to make good use of the spare time and we hope, for them good success.

We have not talked | with Captain Langley about how many hot stunts he pulled off in the valley of vapors as we are quite sure he was the whole shew, and also being one of the officials at the Arlington Hotel, the serv - ice was very much improved as he is always tops in his line. ****** We truly htape all the Hotels and Clubs will have a First Aid Kit in all cloak rooms as well as in kitchens. Accidents so often are not taken care of as soon as they happen and more ofter in hot weather with First Aid given, it avoids very much suffering and pain. ****** Vacation time is here and we are quite sure tht boys are plann ng long trips to the east, north and west. Be very careful, boys, and don’t stay over your time as the boys at home are very quick to get peeved in hot weather and will have many blowouts at work and you know what that means to the crew. ***** We often wonder how long it will be before we will have serv ice inspectors of our group. We have many who are well qualified and we all would like to see them in acton. It would be quite a good common sense move if the Omaha Colored Waiters would create and form a stock company and build a first class hotel somewhere on North 24th Street, as there arc many overnight tourists through Omaha all the year through and it would be good for them to tell fellow travelers and friends of such a nice place to stop at in O maha. The Nelson Real Estate Company will be at their service to negotiate a good site and help get the true price. Think it over boys as you know property is very cheap in Omaha at this time. What about the waiters’ base ball club, Mr. Chester Hodges wfould make a good strike out pit cher and Mr- Bill Burns would make a good catcher, and would get all the fouls bock of home plate with Mr. Dave Morrison as umpire. ****** • Mr. Tweet Macklin is a very good waiter and service man, and Mr- Watson made a good select ion in having him at the Highland Club and he is tops at pleasing the members and we all hope to see him continue out in front. ***** Mr. James Griffin is on the job at the Country Club and with his many years in service, looks as thfouph he is one of the very best fixtures, as the members all like to see James around ****** Now, waiters, let’s all cateb step quick and subscribe for the Omaha Guide as we should all support such a well published ^a per as we all know our Colored papers are what we make them. , ***** The NAACP. should have a membership of one thousand in 0 maha, now let’s all pull together and give the very good president good support in getting the one thousand.
