THANKSGIVING POEM.


THE sun hath shed It's kindly light.
Our harvesting Is gladly Ger
Our fields have felt no killing
u blight
Our bins are filled with goodly
store. -
We feel that had our merits been
The measure Of thy gifts to US.
We, erring children born Of sin,
Might not now be rejoicing thus.
No deed of ours hath brought US grace.
When thou vert nigh our sight was dull.
We hid In trembling from thy face.
But thou. o God. vert merciful.-
Thy mighty hand Ger all tho land
Hath still been open to bestow
Those blessings which our wants demand
From heaven. whence all blessings now.
Thou hast, with ever watchful eye.
Looked down on US with holy care
And from thy storehouse In the sky
Hast scattered plenty everywhere.
Then lift we up our songs Of praise
To thee, o Father. good and kind.
To thee we consecrate our days.
Be thine the temple Of each mind
With incense sweet our thanks ascend.
Before thy works our powers pail.
Though we should strive years without
end, IS
We could not thank thee for them all.

New Orleans, Lathe National
League on Urban Conditions Among
Colored People may well congratulate
itself on the fact that 1t is doing
work for the race that is not duplicat-
ed by any other organization. The
fruitful efforts of the league are shown
in the activities of several persons who

, For instance, Miss Rosalle I. Single
ton, who has recently taken up COM
munity work in connection with
Straight college and the cooperation
of three Congregational churches OF
New Orleans Central, Howard and
Beecher), has been well trained Tor
her work by practical experience. Miss
Singleton has come to her present posi-
tion by doing hard and faithful work.
Entering school late, before she
reached the fourth grade in private
school of Mobile, Ala, she was COM
PEELED to discontinue her education be-
cause of lack of funds. After an inter-
| val of three years she entered Emer-
son institute and worked her way
through, completing her high school
educati there In 1911.
Because of her ambition for a college
| education, by the help Of friends she
| was able to enter Talladega college as
an aided student. At Talladega dur
ing her senior year, after she had look,
ed I'D some poor children at Christmas
time, she gave up the idea Of becoming
q secretary of the Young Women's
Christian association and decided to ID
herself for social service.
In order to carry out her plans she
thought of teaching several years In
order that she might get the money tc
receive social service training. About
this time Miss Singleton learned OF the
fellowships for training social service
workers offered at Fisk university by
the National League on Urban Condi
tons Among Colored People. Her ap
plication was accepted because Of hel
previous record, her qualities Of char
acter, her earnestness Of purpose. She
therefore spent year In social service
training at Fisk.
While at Fisk the work at the Beth
lehem House, the settlement operated
Jointly by the woman's missionar!
council, the NJ e. Church South ant
Fisk university. gave her the training
which she is beginning to put int
practice now. At the Bethlehem Hous'
she learned how to organize and con
duct clubs and classes Of various kinds
She did friendly visiting into the home
of the people and received much valua
BILE experience as relief worker In tn
great East Nashville fire Of last March
Miss Singleton Is beginning to use al
of that experience in her present worl
in New Orleans. She is cooperating
with Straight college and the churche
of this city. She Is endeavoring t
make the life Of the community bette
by organizing clubs among both oil
and young, conducting cooking an
sewing classes and by promoting clea
and wholesome play and recreatio
among the children and young people

BROWN EYED DICK.

= re is Just a common mongreL
But has eyes Of silky brown
That are scintillating magnets
Az he goes around the town.
He is always kind and friendly
To the children when they meet
And they hail him as a comrade
As he passes on the street.
He is never In a hurry,
Never chases cats around;
Never lounges in the places
Where contentious dogs are found;
Has no master, has no kennel,
Has no home to call his own;
Has no pedigree to back him
lust as Brown Eyed Dick Is known.
But to know him Is to love him
As you would a human friend,
For the slightest act OF kindness
He is grateful to the end.
His expression Is enticing,
And his courtesy Is grand.
For those brown eyes speak language
That all hearts can understand.
Not a dog In town molests him
As he goes his quiet way,
Charming all with gay good humor'
But too dignified to play.
Those brown, scintillating magnets
And his gentle nature blend
In a pleasing combination
That has made the world his frieno.

We now can gather in at last

For this we faced the hot winds

And this IL the dear reward we

NEW LAWS NEEDED TO GIVE
JOBS TO JOBLESS MEN.

It is estimated that fully 10000 en-
gineers are more or less affected by
the stagnation which for three years
has existed in water power develop
ment. Up to three years ago plants
under construction, begun before the
operation of the new laws had put a
stop to planning new enterprises, gave
work to these engineers and to hum
dreds of thousands of skilled and I'M
skilled workmen. Today engineers of
long experience are haunting the Of
fees of power companies and contrac-
tors begging for jobs.
One capable engineer recently an
nounced that he had written 1900 let
tiers asking for employment without re-
ceiving an offer. Pages Of advertise
ments Of Positions Wanted" appear
regularly in engineering papers, while
there are practically no Help Wanted
advertisements. One manufacturing
plant in Philadelphia with 100000
invested in buildings and machinery
for the building Of water wheels was
shut down for ten months last year
and this year has had only one order
for one small wheel.

Power a National Need,

The public needs both steam power
and water power. 1t is to the interest
OF the whole country that our water
power should be developed as rapidly
and as efficiently as possible. This de-
velopment can be carried on only in
bne OF two ways-either by govern
ment ownership and operation or by
the employment Of capital worked un-
der the incentive of private property.
Nobody but visionary proposes today
that the government should build and
operate water power plants. Some sys-
tenn must, therefore, be devised for
the development of water powers as
a natural resource by private genius
and private capital
