A GOOD OLD WORLD.

A good old world-be glad you're here,
To share its smile and share its tear,
To dance and swing and have your
day,
To greet some brother on the way,
To lend your light that those who
stand
In darkness may not go astray
Across the green leagues of the land.
A good old world-look up and see
The glory of the grass and tree,
The bird and flower, the brook and
stream.
The dappled wales that lie in dream,
The hills, the stars, the fertile slope,
And Ger bright SUBMITS catch the
CLEAN
Of life's immortal love and hope.
A good old world-he brave and bright
To face your task and fight your fight,
To sing your song and lift your eyes
Beyond the shadows to the skies,
And do your best and keep the trust
That more than all we wot of lies
Beyond this dallance and this dust,
A good old world-play we'll your part,
Get in the game and tune your heart
To manly will and fortnight deed,
And so through life with love for creed
Be sure the heights you seek shall
glow
Before you yet, though feet may bleed
And many bubble burst and blow,

Basel, Switzerland.-(C Correspond

against damage to artistic treasures as
the result of air raids has been taken
out by the Swiss government and prl-

San Juan, Porto Rico.-After being
on strike for almost two months the
high school students at Arecibo have
returned to their books.
The strike started on Oct. 20, fol-
lowing a reported robbery of one OF
the students. The students became
offended when they were compelled
to undergo search by detective.
The strike was ended only after Com
missioner of Education Paul G. Miller
told the parents of the students that
unless they returned to school at once
the high school would be removed
from Arecibo to some other city.
The students returned under Prin-
cipal Maurice H. Esser, Colgate col

BUY RED-cROSS SEALSi

Their is much talk among a few
Negro supporters as to what Mayor
elect Van Lear will do. Some lay
claims to "opening club" and many
others to appointment as detective.
Well, it is certain that Mr.. Van Lear
can see that the Negroes get treated
as other citizens and are accorded
equal privileges in public places. The
rapid growth of discrimination is a
matter of vital importance now. We
believe that Mi. Van Lear will do
much to make the Negroes better
citizens by giving them legitimate re-
presentation in city affairs and that
he will do nothing to add to their
degradation by permitting any more
clubs or buffet flats. It is about time
that Negroes demand those things
which advance them, and if they
make proper showing Mr.. Van
Lear will give them due recognition.

PANTAGES BARS NEGROES
Legal Action Taken.

The management of the Pantages
Theatre in this city has repeatedly
refused to allow Negroes to occupy
seats on the first floor of their build
ing, and they have made it prac-
tice of seating them in the balcony.
Atty. r. A. Skinner, young practic-
ing lawyer, had been refused, also
several other respectable persons on
account Of their color. Messrs. L. C..
Vale, Oscar G. Price, DR.. w. Ellis
Burton and Miss L. o. Smith were
refused admission, having in their
possession tickets for seats they were
not allowed to Occupy. Atty. Skinner
has brought suit, and will be assisted
by Atty. Brown S. Smith. They in
tend to make strong legal fight to
overcome. this discrimination. A
series of suits will be brought indi-
vidually, and they will present this
case to the Grand Jury.
