of the 18th Battalion, Minnesota
Home Guard. Attorney Gale P. Hill
yer and Chas. Sumner Smith were
authorized to form the respective
companies, having been named as pro-
visional captains. There is much en-
thusiasm among the Negroes over the
opportunity to enter the military serv-
ice of the state. Men of military
record have offered their services and
several musicians have decided to
take active interest in organizing a
band and fife and drum corps. The

NINTH DISTRICT IS SECOND
Passed BY st. Louis District for Lib
erty Loan Honors.

Minneapolis, April 26.-The Ninth
Federal Reserve district has been de-
prived of the glory of first place in
the Liberty Loan bond campaign by
the Washington headquarters.
But, despite this fact, citizens can
put this locality in that position with
clear conscience, according to Ar
thur r. Rogers, district campaign
chairman.
A technicality barred the Minneap-
oils Reserve bank from claiming
honor of being first to report. Mr..
Rogers said, simply because an official
bank statement of subscriptions could
not be compiled before Monday. The
st. Louis district, Din Washington COM
pilations of records, was first to re-
port oversubscription, although the
Minneapolis district is first in per-
centage.

The Role OF The Social Worker.
Never, perhaps, has the position of
the social service worker, profession
al and volunteer, been so strategic as
now. The war has made unprece-
dented demands upon this group, de-
mands beyond all proportion to the
number prepared to meet them. Gov
ernmental agencies, Red Cross, Y.
M. G. A., and host of other organ
izations have drawn their services and
are making insistent demands for
more. ....--. Em... .... .
To a large extent the social work
er,-and the definition has a wide
scope--is being called upon to answer
most perplexing questions: what shall
be done with the crippled soldiers;
how shall the increase in juvenile
delinquency be met; what methods
shall be used to AmericaniZe the for
eign born? These questions might be
multiplied Indefinitely.
Much of the progress and forward
trend of the next few years will rest
in the hands of the social workers
backed by the intelligent conviction Of
the community.
