their Indignation over the actions of
the officers Of the center In inviting
the colored women to the luncheon.
NOT SOCIAL EQUALS
This action of the officers In in
viting the coIored women as guests
at a luncheon is the reason for my
resignation" said Mrs. Hicks this
morning. The colored women have
a right to organize and carry on the
work OF their club, but / don't con-
slider them my social equals. 1 cen
sured the officers of the center who
invited them to the luncheon in an
attempt to make them the social
equals Of the other women present"
Mrs Allison said: '1 don't mind
assisting the coiored women in the
work OF the Civic league from a hu-
manitarian standpoint, but do object
to attending social functions at which
they are present. There is a distinc-

not seem to grasp"

marked discourtesy by being invited
to the luncheon as guests and then
being seated at table by themselves.
BY inviting them to the luncheon the
officers have done the West Oakland
women a great injustice by involving
them in a controversy for which they
are in no wa VITO blame"

While walking along in Los An

was stopped and asked by him what
the B. V. BIS meant After telling
him, he said: Well, that is the best
I've heard yet. for today the only
people who have given me a cent of
money have been the fellows who
were wearing these B. V. B. badges.

May Have Line of Electric Road.

The Reno Gazette says it has in.
formation to the effect that line OF
electric road is to build from Yelling
ton. in Smith Valley, Lyon county,
TO Reno, by way OF Carson Valley.
Eastern capitalists are said to be be-
hind this new enterprise The dis
tance is something like Is miles and
the road would connect in Smith
Valley with the Nevada Copper Belt
road now running to Hudson it that
valley. The power to operate the
road would be furnished by the r.
K. q. T.. Co. and the road would han
die both freight and passenger traffic.
The new line. if built, would certainly
tap some excellent agricultural count
ry, but it would simply be for the
purpose of diverting freight traffic
from the Copper Belt by sending it
into country now served by that
road from the points of Reno and
Carson, and would probably not be a
very rumunerative proposition at the
present time.
