humble, none too poor to get hear
distress when their appeal was made
ing in the hour of their misfortune and
to him in a frank and truthful state
ment of their wishes and complaints.
To the Negro people, he was more
than an upright public official, often
times becoming indulgent that he

longs the honor of doing more by his
public acts to promote happiness and
usefulness among the Negroes than

greater number of appointments in

from any Mayor before him here or
in any municipality in this country.

A CALL FOR COLORADO WORKERS
FOR THE RED CROSS.

A very excellent representation of
some of the best colored families Of
Denver attended the classes in the
Gauze Rooms OF the Museum building,
corner of Fourteenth and Sherman.
Members of different churches are en-
listed. The volunteer spirit is fine.
The work is of the best, but the mem
bers are not what we would like to
see. At first the colored class num-
bered about eighteen faithful workers

Interruptions. But from now on the
needs for wounded American boys will
be much greater lover there" and let
every loyal colored American woman
come for one afternoon Friday of the
week, or send some friend or substi-
tute to take her place. The class as
sembles at l o'clock on Fridays at the
Museum unit for instruction and work.
The uniform of white apron and cap
can be procured there at present. AS
| we know and regret to say, some of the
colored population of America have
been tempted and tampered with by
Prussian propaganda; but let Denver
be freed from such criticism through
a loyal and regular interest by the
women, as well as the men, to promote
the activities and plans of the country,
among which there is none more ap-
pealing than the work at the Red Cross
gauze rooms.
Among those who still come and who
do excellent work are the following
Mrs. Cora E. Robinson, 1921 Gilpin
Mrs. Goldie Hughes, 522 3Oth street !;
Mrs. Nellie Irby, AIS 29th street; Mrs.
Nellie Lander, 1s45 Marion street;
Mrs E. C. Shipp, 315 Vine street
Mrs. Gullion, formerly Of Memphis,
Tenn, and Mrs. Pollard Of Denver
We could mention other names of
the class who seem not to have been
able to attend of late, but would rath-
er wait till their vacant chairs are
filled and the familiar faces bright and
smiling, as the busy fingers fold to
help make the interminable dressings
for the dear soldiers going to the
western front.
Notice is given that the gauze rooms
are closed from the 1st of May for
about ten days, but the newspapers
will announce the exact day when
they open up again. Watch for the
announcement and don't forget the
