I. A. l1lley VINO served as CITY ClcIh
and clerk of the School Board in Colo
RADIO, confessed to embezzling over fifty
thousand dollars and received a sentence
of over thirty-three years in prison.
Albert Hammer, of Enid, Okla, re-
ceived the bloter used by President

The Age makes mistake in holding
up the "colored servant girls" as targets
because some of them wear eyeglasses.
Can the Age not find something more
weighty TO give its readers?
Newspapers must be hard up for mat
ter when they begin to pick at the
servant girls, who are human and ousat
to be permitted to spend their earnings
in a way they may choose.
The occupation of a woman should
not determine her likings for''glad togs'
the name applied by the Age to ap-
parel worn by the ''colored servant
girls" with eyeglasses, i'll the District
of Columbia.
The next paragraph was taken from
the New York Age.
IF nose glasses are indicative of
great mental ability then the colOred
servant girls of Washington are regu-
lar mental Trojans. They all wear nose
glasses-only, however, when they put
on their glad togs."
The Age forgets that many girls have
completed the full course of school
training and have been compelled to
fill positions of servant girls"
There are some some "colored servant
girls in Washington who wear eye
glasses more competent to edit the Age
than those who are doing so now.
1t woud be better for the Age to court
the friendship of the "colored servant
girls" of Washington than to try tC
make fun of them. They always pay
their subscription. Catch on?
