It proved out he was a full grown pooch and possessing fa very nasty temper. For when Mrs. Hopkins tried to tickle his nose with her finger, he sank his fecth ip it, leaving the fingemt.il barely hanging and resulting :n her having to have it treated by a doctor. Not satisfied with that hp bit her on a finger on her other hand. (Why she offered it to him hasn’t been explained). But this bite wasn’t hard enough to cause more than considerable pain at the time. As Mrs. Louise Rippatoe was UjC ill to remain on her job. the losing battle Mrs. Hopkins had with the pooch made two down in the of fice of The Omaha Guide and only one more of the offioe staff to carry on. Now- should he run into a gang of trouble, things will real ly be in a mess! Mrs. Hopkins is advertising a gent and Mrs. Rippatoe Secretary in the office of the Omaha Guide. THE VICTORY BEAUTY SALON The Victory Beauty Salon 2118 North 24th street, was correctly named. For since its opening it! has been victorious, which in per haps more proper terms, means, successful.

She has taken the precaution to see that none but others as equally efficient and cap able are employed. That is why Hattie James, Poro Speciali. t, Marie Robinson, Louise Cooper, Rose Roache and Ethel Smith are employed in the Victory Beauty Salon. With such an array of special's!$ to serve the customers how couM it be possible for The Victory Sal on to be other than successful.

NEGRO HISTORY PROGRAM HELD AT CLEAVES TEMPLE The Negro History and Race Re lations Program sponsored by l lie Missionary Society of Cleaves Tem ple CME. Church at 4 pm. Sunday February 13th was well worth at tending. The sketch of Negro His tory by Atty. H. J. Pinkett was very interesting and shed much ':ght on the subject of which he presented in a scholarly manner Incidentally there are few if any in the city better versed in the subject. The talk under the title “What I Wou'd Do If I were A Negro’’, i by Mrs. Harry Cooper, is likely t0 ' be remembered for quite awhile] by those present. She spoke frankly, thereby very clearly and what she stated she would do if she were one of the race were def initely things all Negroes should do. In other words she seemingly made no attempt to do more than solidify the opinions of 1 .ie more serious minded members of the race. Mrs. Ervin speaking on the same subject smilingly stated that as she was a Negro her cas-j was slightly different than that of Mrs. light on the subject which he Cooper’s, threw more light on the subject in the same clear and frank style used by Mrs. Cooper. These talks were interspered with musical numbers rendered by Mrs. Blanchlee Wright. The Vict ory Trio from St. John Baptist Church, South Omaha, and Bever ly Blythwood. As is the usual thing when Mrs. Wright does a solo, her rendering of “Walk with, Me” was done as only she can do it- Beverly Blythwood although not much more than a baby played her piano number without a mis take and a hint of unusual technic al1 ability if she Continues to study the piano. The Victory Trio which' it seems is really a part of a targ or musical group, did exception ally well in their singing of two - numbers “Canaan” and “After wnne. rneir ensemble work showed the extent of the coacning they had received fr(»m their sup ervisor, Mrs. Thelma D. Hull. Those composing the Trio were Jacqueline Johnson, lead. Soprano, President; Lucille Young, 2nd So prano, Secretary; Bernice Beagg, Contralto and Treasurer of the group.
