Electric Brush for Polishing Floors.
An improved electric brush for pol
fishing wood floors uses an electric mo.
tor at the top and large round fat
brush underneath the motor. says the
Scientific American. To keep the mo-
tor from turning about along with the
brush. there is used steadying de-
vice in the shape Of pair of square
shaped fiat brushes at the sides of the
central one. Each square brush is
mounted on the end of a shaft project
ing from the middle casing and is
geared up SO that the shaft works in
and out as q plunger, so as to produce
a to-and-fro> movement of the side
brushes. This steadies the whole set
and at the same time allows of moving
the whole very readily over the floor
by means Of the long handle.

In his report of his housing survey
Of Springfield, H., for the Sage foun-
dalton, John 1hdler of the National
Housing association had this to say:
TN the Negro district bad housing
features are among the most serious
in the city. This is usual in cities
that have Negro districts. Houses are
more dilapidated, water supply and
toilets more inadequate, everything
in more rundown, shiftless condi-
ton. Part of this may be due to the
character and habits OF some of the
Negro people themselves, in Just the
same way that bad living conditions
among the whites is often due to shift
lessness. But there is no question In
the minds of those who have studied
Negro housing that = large proportion
Of these people desire better homes
than those they are able to obtain In
most Of our cities. One who has in
spected many Negro homes cannot
but be impressed by the evident de-
sire for cleanliness and order, even
under the most discouraging condi-
tons. Ny own impression is that
where conditions are approximately
equal the homes Of Negroes are bet
ter kept than those of several nation

AFRO-AMER|CAN CULuNCS

There Was 4 gathering OF Negroes
IN Waco recently that il well calcu-
lated to command the attention. the
respect and good will OF the representa-
tive element Of the white race. For
those colored men and women who
were not members Of the organiza-
ton II is an object lesson to inspire
them to effort to act well their part in
life. We are speaking Of the annual
meeting OF the Farmers' Improvement
society OF Texas, The session lasted
three days. .4. -.hh..t%. ..
About five hundred members from all
over the state were in attendance
Surely this is an object lesson full
Of credit to the colored race and nota.
bly, to the men who brought this or
ganization into existence and who
manage its affairs. who compose Its
membership. These colored farmers
are types of the best element Of their
race, men who are shaping the future
Of that race for good. We take pride
in thus writing of this essentially COM
mendable movement and We can say
that the best element of white people
in Waco are proud to have the organi-
zation meet here There is additional
qualification In the fact that some OF
the leading spirits have their homes
and do business in Waco.
This society is the best evidence Of
what the really worthy and capable
Negroes Of Texas are doing for the
public good. 1t is as desirable that the
Negroes of that class shall prosper
and progress as well as the white
race.-Wade c. Rollins in the Houston

10, BANANA MAN!
Peddler Given Boost in Federal Food
Probe.

Some very good advertising for the
man who peddles bananas on the
street corner was introduced in evil
dence this morning when the COM
mission merchants were on the stand
Robertson, United States district attor-
ney. The banana man was described
by one fruit jobber as necessary
evil who f1ourished in times when the
commission men were overloaded with
ripening fruit, and did no business
when the stocks were fresh and NOV
ing fast. He takes advantage of the
situation when the commission dealer
is in danger of loss and helps unload
the fruit rapidly at low prices. buying
at or below cost. He helps the COM
mission man avoid serious loss, but
sales to him represent no actual profit.
Usually the fruit handled by the curb
stone merchant is at its most edible
stage. The consumer wins because he
gets the best ripened fruit at q bottom
price.
That the tropical fruit business is
controlled by a few large dealers who
make prices about as they see fit and
without ordinary competitive pressure
Sc far as inland dealers are concerned
was the trend of today's evidence. The
district attorney filed names of dealers
at New Orleans and other points where
banana and lemon shipments originate
as we'll as correspondence by them to
local dealers.
Prices of lemons were shown to have
advanced 60 per cent and bananas 80
per cent. apparently to the entire
American market without apparent evil
dence of shortage.
