Yes, our people are prosperous, but
my observation is that the cost of
living there is out of all proportion
to our prosperity"
And there you have it. Of course
the average negro doesn't eat tur-
key honestly acquired very often,
even in Florida, but there is a chance
that he may eat it here. There will
be no such chance for him in the
north. Every article that he buys
to satisfy his hunger is higher there.
There is no question but that the
northland is just now flowing with
milk and honey" but the negroes
who go there expecting to sit down
in the stream and dip it up will find,
once they are there, that the most
that awaits them is the privilege of
sitting on the banks of the stream
and seeing others do the dipping.
Then too, the negro would be a
stranger in a strange land" He
would be among a people unfriendly
to him. A people who do not un-
derstand him and who are not going
to the trouble of finding him out.
Sometimes a negro in this section
feels that he is employed by a hard
task-master, but the negro who in
dulges this feeling most, if he will
be honest with himself, will acknowl-
edge that the fault is his own. Hard |

There are no wailings going up

Phrases You Never Forget

From "The Point of View" in the July
 Scribner.
 And dying, remembered Sweet Argos , There was once upon a time little lame boy (so ran the tale I read in a magazine strangely fired by that phrase. Now, why did those words mean too much to him There is no deep significance in them that they should have been so vital. One might, of course, claim that the writer of the tale has pictured a false situation. But know they are words of record for this reason: I have forgotten all but the barest outlines of that story; my most painstaking efforts fail to recall the mag azine in which it appeared or give back to me the source from which the phrase came. The one thing that still clings is the phrase itself And dying, remem- bered Sweet Argos.
 Those words sing themselves over and over in my mind. And that, I think, is the secret. It was not the meaning but the music singing through the phrase that soothed and rested the little lame lad and helped drive away his pain
 How many such phrases and sentences there are in literature that lay hold on our affections and memories more because of their musical quality than because of their sense. They echo in our minds like the fragment of an old tune, some chance word calls them to the surface, and we say them over and listen entranced to the music they make without thinking much about their meaning
 We shall start up-river when the tide turns said the skipper one day last sum- mer. And straightway my mind echoed, even at turning of the tide,'' and found myself softly repeating it. Even just be- tween 12 and 1, cen at turning O the tide.''
 There is no thought in that line there is no poetry of color O. emotion, but to me at least there is a strange, sweet music in the sound of those words, nay, even in the unspoken thought of them
 Sometimes the phrase that affects one thus is line of verse; but just as often 1t is not in verse form. And, in either case, 1t Is not the music of metre, the cadence of long and short syllables that makes 1t haunt the mind

Big Business Is Patriotic

r s.
 Big business has demonstrated it's patriotism by facilitating the mobiliza tion Of the National Guard. Not only have the big business establishments assured their employees that absence with the Ma tional' Guard will not interfere with their re-employment after the term of their service is ended, but full pay is being al- lowed National Guardsmen in nearly every instance. The war department has found that the railroads are prepared to give their best services in transporting the National Guard troops. At the Depew shops of the New York Central lines at Depew, N. Y., the war department was recently informed that there was an i'm pressive Flag Day celebration by all the employees. There was a bugle salute to the flag, g gun salute and other cere-

600, ,ooo CHILDREN HUNGRY

Among the wholly destitute in Bel gium there are 600000 children who are entirely dependent upon the ten der-heartedness of the outside worll The problem of bringing them up and even of, keeping them alive is becom- ing more and more grave. The relief organization has Just started an extra . ordinarily interesting experiment to meet the emergency of short milk sup plies in industrial centers. They have asked the peasants to lend free of charge for one year one COW from each of their herds to a communal nerd which will provide milk for the chil- dren. In Antwerp the herd now num- bers over 400 cattle. In other centers the peasants are responding excellen,ly to the appeal of the American dele- gates. At the end of the year the cows will be returned to their owners, who will be compensated for the loss of any of their cattle.
 "It was relief to turn from the complexities and hardships apparently inevitable in connection with the seed- ing of these unfortunate children to the splendid results of Americas recent re- sponse to the appeal for clothing. In Brussels I visited the distributing cen ters and there saw huge quantities of cloth and garments from the United States being redistributed to different parts of the country. Iu Antwerp I saw 800 Belgian women and girls under one roof busily employed in making up their share of this cloth into suits, or dresses or altering ready-made cloth ing. The material over which they bent their heads had come from every state in the union. from California to New York. I only wished that the generous donors were with me to see the joy it brought and also the business-like way in which it was prepared for local requirements, and then discriminatory given to those most in need.
 "In one place in northern France they received supply of American blankets By good fortune they happened to have all the blankets they wanted. but were badly in need of clothes, so the olan- kets were made up into warm suits for the men. The ingenuity was worthy of the people. but even in wartime it is a bit odd to see a man in trousers around the upper or lower part of which runs the red or blue stripe which once marked the edge of a blanket
 My visit to Belgium gave me my first opportunity to see for myself the actual working of the relief system It is a marvel of efficiency and devo- tion."
