New Orleans, LATHE National
League on Urban Conditions Among
Colored People may well congratulate
itself on the fact that It 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
are at present engaged in gainful &C.
equations.
For instance, Miss Rosalle l. 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 for
her work by practical experience. Miss
Singleton has. come to her present posi-
ton 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 educa ton he
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
education 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 up 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 fit
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 to
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 her
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 ut the Beth
lehem House. the settlement operated
Jointly by the womans missionary
council, the M. q. Church South and
Fisk university. gave her the training
which she is beginning to put into
practice now. At the Bethlehem House
she learned how TO organize and con-
duct clubs and classes of various kinds.
She did friendly visiting into the homes
Of the people and received much valua-
BILE experience IA a relief worker in the
great East Nashville fire Of last March
Miss Singleton Is beginning to use all
Of that experience In her present work
in New Orleans. She Is cooperating
with Straight college and the churches
Of this city. She Is endeavoring to
make the life Of the community better
by organizing clubs among both old
and young. conducting cooking and
sewing classes and by promoting clean
and wholesome play and recreation
among the children and young people

ness league during the month Of Au.
gust.
It is understood from the correspond
ing secretary that they are expecting
the largest attendance in the history Of
the association, as there are practically
no annual gatherings being held now
In midwinter that will interfere with
the newspaper mems program. The
Nashville membership, which consists
Of twenty-five or more, has already
called q meeting Of the local members,
and they are making preparations for

In addition to this, some OF the leading
newspaper men of the United States

have expressed their intention Of being
present at this session.
The work to be completed covers q
wide scope and is Of vital interest to
the newspaper fraternity. Some con-
stitutional changes are to be made,
but the most important thing Will be
the consideration Of the report OF the
executive committee. which held its
session last August in Kansas City.

NOT A PARTICLE
OF DANDRUFF OR
AFALLING HAIR
SAVE YOUR HAIR DOUBLE ITS
BEAUTY IN JusTtA FEW
MOMENTS.
25-cENT "pANpERINE" MAKES
HAIR THICK, GLOSSY, WAVY
AND BEAUTIFUL.

Within ten minutes after an applica.
ton of Danderine you can not find a
single trace Of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after q
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-
but really new hair-growing all over
the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. 1t goes right to the roots,
invigorates and strengthens them. Its
exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro-
'ducing properties cause the hair to
grow long, strong and beautiful.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dam
derine and carefully draw IL through
your hair. taking one small strand at
time. The effect is amazing-your
hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and
have an appea4 ance of abundance; an
Incompatible lustre, softness and lux
uriance.
Get a 25.cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or toll
ct counter, and prove that your hair is
as pretty and soft as any-that 1t has
been neglected or injured by careless
treatment-that's alf-you surely can
have beautiful hair and lots of 1t If
you will just try little Danderine.

NARROW ESCAPE MT. PLEASANT
Miss Nora Robinson Jumped From
Auto to Escape Freight Train

Miss Nora Robinson Jumped From
Auto to Escape Freight Train
Miss Nora Robinson, daughter of
Frederick P. Robinson, a farmer liv-
ing near Mt. Pleasant, had narrow
escape from instant death. Saturday,
from being struck by fast moving
freight train and thrown violently
from the automobile she was driving.
The accident happened at the Mt.
Pleasant crossing, which is an un-
Usually dangerous one, although a
flagman is maintained there. A north
bound freight train, had been "cut"
to allow teams and autos to pass
through, and several drivers had taken
advantage of the opening. When Miss
Robinson started across the tracks q
southbound train bore down on her.
She saw the train in time to jump
and the train struck her car. The
impact of the train hitting the auto
mobile threw the car high in the air
and it struck Miss Robinson before
she could move from where she had
landed in jumping. She was taken to
the home of ]. Frank Eliason, where
it was thought that her back had
been broken, but later it was discov-
cred that such was not the case. A
bone of the left arm was found tc
have been broken, and she received
slight internal injuries and severe
contusions on her body. Miss Robin
son is employed as a school teacher

Three Ships, Will be Torpedoed and

Civilization, " Thomas H. Ince's
million dollar film spectacle which
comes to the Smyrna Opera House on
Thursday, April II. is remarkable for
the fact that it presents on the screen
the first filmed record of how a SUBJ
marine operates when attacking a big
steamer. 1t was through the instiga-
tion of Mr.. j. Parker Read, JF., Mr..
Thomas H. Ince's personal represen-
tative, that the United States Gov
ernment agreed to cooperate in the
taking of this portion of the "Civili-
cation" film. Point Iona, San Diego,
was the scene of the target practice.
Mr.. Read agreed to furnish the battle
ship seen in "Civilization' for this
purpose, Mr.. In:e agreed to pay for
the expensive torpedoes and shells,
and the Government agreed to furnish
two battleships, two torpedo boat de-
stroyers, the latter being of the H
boat class. The hattie as fought for
the movies actually lasted 27 minutes.
There were 600 shots fired. The
sinking of three enemy ships takes
place in full view of the audience, and
one boat is blown 500 feet in the air,
while all about the sea is tortured
into thousand seething spouts by the
bursting shells. Civilization" comes
with. the metropolitan endorsement of
the press, the clergy and the theatre
going public as the most vital and i'm
pressive offering of that great art,
the motion picture. Not to see it is
to deny yourself a rare and exhilarat.
