Gates of promotion Miss Ada Field
professor of Home Economics of Pea
body College, will make a short talk
on The Educational Value of Home
Economics. A large crowd is expect
ed to attend.
A concrete illustration of real patri-
otism was expressed by the little tots
in the kindergarten who have been
bringing each day penny or two as
their bit in helping to make the
world safe for democracy. These
pennies, the giving of which meant
real self-denial to some of the chill
dren, soon grew to the sum of four
dollars, Then one day the kinder
garten teacher and the children went
to the post Office where they secured
four dollars worth of war-savings
stamps, and the soldiers in the
trenches are not prouder of their bit
than these little children who are
helping win the war by their small
contributions to the government.

GOOSE CHASE

An interesting incident growing
out of the Feast of the Wilderness to
be celebrated at Mt. Olive Baptist
Church all this week was the" Goose
Chase" given by Mrs. Bridgewaters
at her home on Jefferson Street last
week.
Mrs. Bridgewaters is Captain of
Sumner County and the affair, which
was financial success was for the
benefit of that club. The principal
event of the evening was "The Goose
Chase" and consisted of hunt for
baked goose" which when found
was baked turkey. Mr.. Felix
Lytton found the goose. A handsome
box of homemade candy was won by
Miss N. e. King and an deliberately
decorated cake was won by Miss r.
L. King. Delicious sandwiches,
cream and pies were sold during the
evening"

arms Is particularly gratifying to
relatives and friends of the young
colored men of Nashville who by
draft or volunteering are part of
the Nations fighting forces.
Granting that the statement of
Lieut.. Simms is only the truth, we
must admit that IL sometimes re-
quires courage of high order to tell
the truth and after all that is one
OF to- greatest needs of the Negro
today to have the truth told about
MIN.
Further, may we not see in this
small incident an evidence that our
boys are helping to win the world
Tor democracy and so make democra-
cy safe for these United States even
before they reach the firing line?
The Negro people as a unit have
been confident that if given a chance
would vindicate his right as a citizen
to the advantages of training at
West Point and Annapolis and the
results at FIT. Des Moines have amply
justified the assumption. In the face
Of his country's needs, the Negro has
proven himself capable of forgetting
that he is the most ill-favored of all
Americans in those things which a
real democracy insure to its humblest
citizen and is giving to the world its
loftiest example Of patriotism.
Let the example of our brave boys
hearten us to do the civilians share
in the overthrow of injustice and
oppression throughout the world.
One of the outstanding features of
the work of the Council of National
Defense is its concern for the welfare
of the fighting forces, both of the
United States and the Allies, and it
is therefore the desire of the chair
man of the North Nashville Section
of the colored women's division to
have the hearty cooperation of every
woman OF her section in the work of
the organization.
To that end meeting is called at
the Pearl High School on Monday.
May 27th, at 400 p. m. 1t is
earnestly desired to have the family
of every select man of the section
represented at this meeting.

MIR. GREGORY AT PUBLISHING
PLANT.

The employees of the National
Baptist Publishing Board were
favored with a visit on Tuesday
morning from Mr., G. L. Gregory of
Washington, d. c., and Mr.. ]. R.
Kenan of this city. Mr. Gregory was
introduced by Mr.. ]. Blaine Boyd.
General Foreman and spoke for
about five minutes. He is a gifted
linguist and his words made an in
delible impression on those who
heard him. He said in part: ut is
true that l visited this institution
years ago and l wish to assure you
that the occasion has always been
bright spot in my memory. In my
travels to the different parts of the
country, north and south, east and
west, / have often commented on the
fact that in an institution of this
kind, you have devotional services.
However, | find that many other in
situations are adopting the idea and
giving some time, perhaps during the
noon hour, to prayer A young man
in the camps recently visited me, re-
marked, people who never thought
OF prayer are praying now
There are three little lessons
that l desire to leave with you this
morning. Tie greatest causes of
hatred and unrest among us may be
summed up in racial strife, religious
strife and national strife. In order
to combat these we must cultivate
the science of sociability, good deeds
and sweet words"
AT the conclusion of the address,
Mr.. Gregory was thanked in few
well chosen words by Prof. Johnson,
after which a hymn was sung and
the services were concluded.

According to Wednesdays Ten
nessean and American, Lieut. Cecil
Sims speaking at the Rotary Club
luncheon on Tuesday said, Never
worry about the Negro officer. They
will hold their places as well as
white officers" This statement is in
line with reports from all over the

who has reached his conclusion
through working side by side with
the Negro officer at the Fort Sill
Artillery school, it bears a special
significance to the people of this city.
The manly action of this young white
officer in thus bearing testimony to
the fitness Of his Negro comrade in
