Oi course, as you know, this is tht finest time of the season for bug ging and goin’ on. Well as it is the dummies as well as bookworms cares less for bugging and frol icking around, and so they spend their time schooling themselves at home- The good old fashion moth ers put a limit to teir childrens leisure hours and demands them to be home at certain times in or der to retain their proper amount of shut eye. So giving less for fall lets review this weeks gossip. MASTER ROOSEVELT LAYTON wa flaming like a torch the other night in the Weiner shop. What was it all about? Well, we don’t exactly know, but they said it was over a feemail. SIMON HUGHES AND HERMAN WASHINGTON can afford to pick up the slack and eturn to good ole’ school days again. How do we know? Why they were spotted on the 4th floor for Payton Studds and Company, tween 11 and 12 o’clock. Is there a necessity for education or -... ? CAN YOU FEATURE Three parties being given in one week. One was given in honor of Mary Harris; the other at the home of Louise W. and last but not least at the home of some of the G. 0. T. S. Need we say more? WHISH! WHASH! AND PLENTY OF CASH! Yes, folks, Sunday night Stanley Edmison, the great Lockinvar set up a party at a certain Hash Joint on the main Drag. He also fur | nished plenty of music by the goo la-box. Now listen, he put at least six bits in the box, you may think that we are exaggerating, but we can’t tell you nothing bout’ it, should have seen it for yourself.

It seems as tough she has a date every night with certain studds. What have you in mind Dora? THE WASHLINE It looks like fate has played her serenade once more, Julia Key and Richard Rice’s love, sure don’t look like its washed up. Hang this on the news.... that studd that Was at the Dreamland Monday nite • • • • really did look cute fallin in with the female of the other race. Harry Rutledge really has got Evelyn S. worried about G- T. You should seen Gerald Kellogg lifting his “ground grippers” when his wife called him. We spotted Ned Moore on thei Avenue Sunday, draped down to a solid fine. He looked kinda lost without his ‘‘Uncle Sam” on. We “Seay” that Enie Bodie can wear them Wiggs. We “Seay” a certain chic, whose hair weigh’s 8 oz. s wearing one. Maxne Nicholson seems to be j seen with another girl friend— Helen King Roy Kellogg and Jack Hoard seems to be lonesome since their chic’s are out of the City.Noth ing seems to interest them. They don’t even bother t° bei schooled. FRED ASTAIRES? Wendell Chambers and Frank Brown spends their time practicing new dance steps in front of Holly wood. We are knowng that they are almost experts but why wear out the leather on your shoes boys, when you can save that leather in the dance hall. Remember the new defense plan is now in session, and shoes are higher. Isn’t Calvin Hobbs an ideal boy friend; why he actually let Gloria Jean drive his roadster; and you can bet the tank was filled. Joe Wright really looked fine ia his draped suit and white felt hat. Joe, she’s got a crooked eye casted on you; no—it’s not the (Duchess) this time, guess again. Edith was really swingng on Joe at the dance. She still carries that old torch. Can’t hide love, Edith, your ways and actions give you away. It seems that Soup Lawson is comin on with the new chic from) out of town. The “Q” Laura’s Cousin. Can ou feature Shirley Anderson comin way from South Omaha to go to Tech? Jackie and Altha were in the grove Monday night. They looked as if they didn’t care what was go in on in the other part of the hall. Wonder wat’s the other party is going to do ? ammy Taylor is here for a while [ to see what the beef is in Omaha. So Sam a to the wise is sufficient, make hay while the sun shines. TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION “I can’t remember to forget.” ‘‘Those most romantic nights that we spent.” These few words are true words, spoken by. need we say? Well, anyway, it happened recently. A very heart breaking and soul-stirring jiver shot his line to a certain chic. He declared that he and his old love had no use for each other & event ually he was with her Sunday at the show. It’s a lie somewere. Lawrence B. must like ice cream for the simple reason that he can always be found at Hollywood and not California amohg the stars. There’s a missing link in Juan ita Agee’s life and he’s in Calif. Course it needn’t be mentioned be cause lonesome for James is writ ten on Juanita’s face. Richard Gray must have been talking love with Josephine Mit chell on the Avenue, cause she was all in smiles. Some bodies gotta go, in the two Luck sisters Luv Affair. Now it is so strange that two boys (Reuben Green and Curtis Jackson) can share the same girl friend and still remain friends. My, My! Charlie Jackson was seen stroll ing te Avenue a couple of times alone. Come on Charlie, play Gable’s part with the chicks. We know that you are eligible.

Philip Randolph, International Pfesident Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por ters. . This Labor Day finds the work ers at the cross-roads. Today it is war and destruction they face. To morrow when peace comes, it may be famine, pestilence and revolu tion. In both the workers suffer. Theirs is perennial struggle, suf fering and sacrifice With war, wages, through strikes make rise, but prices through greed or profits rise too, and the evil days of inflation may come. During the post-war days of de flation, prices will fall and so will wages, and another awfu depres sion with widespread uriempoy ment will beset the workers. But while the lot of the white workers is terrifying, that of the black workers is even worse. Black workers are the first fired and the last hired. They are denied jobs if they don’t have a union card and they are denied union cards if they don’t have jobs. They are damned if they do, and damned if they don’t. Though America has set herself up and rightfully so, as the arse nal of democracy, black workers, citizens of the country, whose blood has wet every battle ground, from Bunker’s Hill to Flanders Field, these Negro workers must fight for the right to fight and work to preserve democracy for which our country claims to be fighting. | But out of the travail troubles, sweat, tears and blood of people have come the lofty and majestic currents of inspiration and unsel fish devotion to great human and social ideals, faiths and principles. It may be that the oppressed and outraged Negro people will serve as the supreme test and measure of the quality and characted of the democricy, freedom an justice of the new worlu order, men now seek and aspire to attain. This Labor Day finds the Negro workers with their backs against the wall fighting a life and death struggle. Racial discrimination in industry and organized labor chal lenges them with the dictum, “No further beyond.” But sleeping car porters, train porters chair car porters under the banner of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters are marching forward. Redcaps, organized by the Unit ed Transport and Service Emr ployes of America, dining car em ployes in the ranks of the Joint Council of Dining Car Employes of the International Hotel Alliance Colored Locomotive Firemen, freight handlers of National Coun cil of Freight Handlerh, Express & Station employes, and Negro work ers i nthe A. F. of L. and CIO are advancing. More and more the Negro workers everywhere, in var ious endeavors and callings, are beginning to see the light and realizing that organization is their only salvation, and that they must fight, if need be, organized busi ness and orginized labor for their rights. These are days of world-wide storm and stress, chaos and confu sion, doubt and uncertainty. The forces of darkness and barbarism under the totalitarian flags of Hit ler and Hitlerism, Fasciscm and Communism, arie assaulting the citadel of civilzation and human decency. Negro w'orkers, like white workers, must choose the camp they will fight in. They are the lamps of totalitarism or democra cy. Which shall it be? The answer is dear. It is the camp of democ racy—'the brotherhood of man in which there shall be no lines of race, color, religion or national origin. America On Guard!
