Y. NJ. c. A. QUARTERS AND IT'S

The subject upon which am about
to speak is of vital importance TO
every reader and the general public.
1t has been two years since we start
ed what is now known as the Young
Mems Christian Brotherhood When
we at first fostered this organization
it was looked upon as a fruitless task.
We had many ups and downs. Many
of our critics foresaw our failure, our
downfall and our audienceless meet
ings While we must admit that our
Sunday meetings have not been what
we would like them to be, but we are
still OF the belief that great things
are done by few and not the many.
We still more regret that We have not

point out that greater per cent of
Negroes are condemned murderers; il
is well for him, as other writer's have
done, to write such articles upon what
they call facts; but is IL not time
that a general movement has taken
place in this country wherein they
want the black man out of the way,
wherein they can paint him as black
as midnight to the world in order to
make what various sociologists and
scientists have said against us come
true.
There was "A time when we could

THE HONEST ADVERTISER.
Crisis Ad. Man Discusses Danger
Of Exaseeratine the Facts.

ALBION Lewis HOlsey, the bright
and promising young advertls-
ing manager for the Crisis mag

accept doctored copy. Mr.. Hol-
sey says:
The one great fault noticeable
in the average run of advertise
ments Is the tendency to exag-
gerate Some persons seem to
think that exaGGeration is the
. first step in advertising. But
such is not the case. The public
is now demanding such a high
literary standard for its news
papers that exaggerated state
. ments made under the guise Of
; advertisements is out OF place
; and has no point of appeal.
Afro American editors should
. guard their advertising columns
with the same care they eXer-
. else toward the literary items.
They should not permit any
thing that has any element of
. fake to be inserted as an adver-
tisement because when the pub

newspaper they straightway
. lose confidence in it.

The knitting industry Is developing in

color to those useful costumes. which.

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

There is certain kind Of vanity which
has q clever habit of masquerading in the
sleeps clothing of modesty, and which l
would very much like to unmask.
And that is the vanity of the person
who is always fancying that some one or
other dislikes him.
He-or more often she, for men seldom
have time for such notions-meets q new
acquaintance. II know that woman does
dislike me-" she declares afterward.
In all probability that woman didn't
think enough about her to dislike her. but
of course her companion is obliged to as
sure her that the new acquaintance was
doubtless much impressed with her
beauty and brilliance.
II wish could make people like me- is
q favorite plant Of this type OF person.
The unfortunate creature to whom this
plant is made naturally assures her that
people do like her and cites instances OF
her popularity.
But She is very hard to be convinced.
Apparently the difficulty is due to her ex-
IRENE modesty and diffdence. Actua ~
it Is part OF the game. For she Will
not submit to be convinced until she is
sure that she has drained every possible
compliment from her treasurer.
When she feels that this unwelcome mo-
ment has come she will reluctantly deStst
only to carry her plant to some other
victim as soon as she gets good oppor-
tunity.
The strange part OF the process is that
the victim seldom realizes that it is van
ity to which he Is catering. He may dis
like the process, he may not like to give
praise when ii is extorted from him at
the pistol point of self-depreciation by
this social highwayman, but he usually
thinks it is an excess Of humility that is
causing all the trouble.
Whereas, as matter Of fact, 1t is al
most always vanity. pure and simple.
Perhaps, to be just, l should admit that
the victim Is not the only one deceived.
! suppose it Is probable that the social
highway woman herself honestly believes
that she thinks people do not like her and
that she says so because aile is modest.
Doubtless that Is why she Is so clever
in deceiving her victim-because she Is
herself a covictim Of the delusion.
They say ignorance OF the law Is no
excuse.
/ wonder If ignorance OF ones self is
any better exemption?
i wonder, too, if some OF the abodes in
that place which Is said to be paved with
good Intentions may not be plastered with
self-deceptfons.

why SOCIETY WOMEN
WASH Their OWN HAIR

Mrs. Mae Martyr, writing for the 0enver Call.
says: Society has taken to home shampooing
for only one reason. and that Is to save their
natural hair. Most hair dressers insist on sham
nooine vim soap Jelly, which In time will ruin
any head Of hair. The alkali in soap bleaches
and dulIs the hair. causing It to split, become
brittle and fall out.
,'Society women avoid these conditions BY
washing their own hair with a teaspoonful Of
ranthrox dissolved in q cup OF hot wafer This
simple, Inexpensive shampoo cieanses perfectly,
irics quickly without any Ill effects. and leaves
the hair very soft. lustrous and nuny. Only
few minutes are required for ono Of these per-
feet, delightful shampoos.'
