To the Editor of the Evening Star:

race war" in certain East Orange
school as petty quarrel and that the
negroes and their "dusky'' escorts had
every right in the world to attend the
dance and mingle with the white girfs
Permit me to say that anyone who has
such views should be-well. the less
said the better.
The aforementioned race war may
have been rather insignificant in the
social problems of this country, but 1t
certainly was not petty.
1t was small part of the great prob

Bank Street Needs Improvement.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
The attention of the street depart
ment should certainly be called to the
deplorable condition of the pavement
in lower Bank street, between Halsey
and Broad streets. There are great
holes in it that IN rainy weather are
filled with water, and the ruts and
broken patches Of pavement add to the
discomfort and danger of drivers and
pedestrians. Besides this, the trolley
tracks are SO uneven there that they
remind one Of the famous "huckleberry
line" When passengers leave their
seats while on this particular stretch
of track they are about as comfortable
as portly person standing up in a
small rowboat laboring in strong
wind. F. w. r.

Food Inspector Hawkins was APP

Mr.. Hawkins receives a salary of 5000
