Mayors Order Not Enforced

n IFFICULTIES the police are experiencing

gated district reality rather than a farce

was issued We pointed out at that time that
the order was merely the beginning of effec-

II is street gossip, and has been for weeks
that the segregated district is as OPEN TO all

the testimony OF accompliccs exceedingly diff
fcult to obtain and unless corroborated
without p-obative value
Public sentiment is by no means uni, in
FAVOR OF The Mayors order or in opposition
TO the now discarded policy Of segregation.
There are good many very decent citizens
we run across them constantly-who believe
segregation, with all its faults. to be the
best method OF dealing with this evil
ages old
However that may be, Richmond now suf-
iers the unsavory burdens OF segregation, and
gets the benefit OF mono OF it's accustoYr

SONGS AND SAWS
Doomed.


They wake to life at Newport News,
They grid them for the fray,
They scent a trado that they can use
In quito n happy way:
a goodiy fleet of merchant craft
VIII steam right up the james,
And City Pointers gently watt
To seaside joys and games.
Who could believe such wicked art
Rules now at Newport News?
Do men exist who have the heart
Such wicked ways to choose?
The City Pointers innocent
Are TO be lured away
Oh. how will Petersburg lament?
What will it find to say?
Fair City Point in peace has dwelt,
Meath Petersburgian smile.
And somehow IL has kept it's pelt
This long and tiresome while.
But now the hour approaches fast
When II that hide will lose.
Its doom is scaled. the die is cast
Watch out for Newport News.

The Voice Of the People


To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:

the automobile. Not with the jitncy bus.
The automobile came by a slow process Of cvo-
luton The jitney bus comes like a clap OF
thunder from a clear sky. She Will pass almos [
as quickly. but not until she has fulfilled her
mission.
For years the people have been demanding
cheaper car fares. BY united effort in some
Of the larger cities they have had laws passed
granting cheaper fares. but these laws have all
been declared unconstitutional.
The jitncy bus has come to declare n Scent
car fare constitutional This is her mission. and
this mission she Will surely fulhll.
Al an early date all the large cities will an
nomnGe a scent car fare The next day there

with board and lodging: but where
she has to be ION the job all the
time she gets from twenty to num-
dred dollars a month besides.
Other entertainers find helpful and
interesting work in the large sanitarf-
ums, where. many times. II Is haro
task to provide amusement and en-
tertainment for the patients. A woman
to do this work successfully would
have to know how to read and tell
bright. cheerful stories: how to de-
wise all sorts of schemes for passing
the days pleasantly.
One young entertainer who earns
from a thousand to fifteen hundred
dollars a year in this way got into
the work through her visits to a
friend in one of the most expensive
private sanitariums in her section OF
the country. She had such success in
entertaining her own friend that other
patients willingly offered to pay her
two or three dollars an hour for en-
tertaining them. Now her visits are
a regular part of the sanitarium life
and all those inmates who feel the
need of special dose of good cheer
have a daily visit from her.
For the young woman who likes So
ciety and knows how to be entertain
ing. this sort of work isn't work at all.
Providing she has enough push and
business ability to keep herself in
touch with the people who can pay
well for her services. the entertainer
can often enjoy an exceptionally good
income. And just the work itself is
good deal of reward, for every
daughter of Eve. deep down in her
heart delights in being entertaining.

4 BIRTHDAY
AND Yours
April 28-Lady Emma Hamilton

1t would he hard to find a woman in
history whose career was more startling
or whose rise and fall In fame were more
specta cular than was that of Emma
Hamilton. who was born April cS prob
ably 1861. She was born of tie most
humble of English parents and appears
to have been given the name Amy. At
any rate from time to time she used
such variations as Amyly. Emily. Emyly,
and finally Emma.
In order to make a living she piled
many trades. among them that OF nurse
girl. shop girl. lady's maid. barmaid. and
for time she was one of the number
of outCaStS of London. Her beauty at
tracted no little attention even in those
days of her obscurity. for she was en-
ploycd TO represent the goddess of health
i'm an exhibition given by a quack doc
tor.
At tho age of twenty Emma was In
great distress. She had had two chill
drcn. Rejected by the father of the last
one, she was thrown upon the tender
mercies of a woman who was little more
than a pauper herself. In this predica-
ment she appealed to young Grevile
who had known her. and. attracted again
by her beauty. he set up a modest estab-
lishment for her. in which her mother
acted as cook and housekeeper. II was
here that she attracted the attention of
Sir WILLIAM Hamilton. the uncle of young
Greville. and after having taken her to
italv and provided her with all the ad-
vantages of an education that had been
denied to her previously. he married her
and she became Lady Emma Hamilton.
SHE is better than anything In ma
ture." Sir William said of her. land in
her particular way she Is finer than any
thing in antique art"
1t was as the wife Of Sir William. the
toast of the English colony in Italy. and
fetcd by kings and queens. that she at
tracted the attention Of the English naval
hero, Lord Nelson. with whom her name
will forever be associated.
