support of not only the citizens, but
of the business men. Whether we like
some one or two, whether they be OF
this profession or not, it is not person
alities alone which will win it is CO.
operation and business acumen to sue
ceed. The Negro business men should
link up close to our first effort to make
this succeed and by linking up, we
mean put your dollars into the or
ganization. The Star intends to take
out some stock and some of the mem
bers of the company These men de-
serve to succeed and it is up to the
business men of our race to come for
ward and be bigger than some pos
sibly and throw their united support
to them. Link yourselves SO close to-
gether that failure will be an impos-
sibility. If it happens that few"
of the men don't or won't patroniZe
you today while spending Negroes
money, kick, but stick to the ship be-
cause after all that is the only way we
can get back to our race, part of the
thousands of dollars we spend month
ly for food, fuel and clothes. Let
every business man take out at least
one share. We can raise IS pay at

race, let us be bigger than the fellow
who might have mistreated you or
withheld from you his business. The
Negro Commercial Association plans
to take what we have among the Ne.
groes and make out of it what we
want or must have. Then we take 1t
that the Negro Commercial Associa
| tion will lead the example by always
patronizing Negro men and women
wherever possible. Even, If they dc
not the principle Of our cooperation
is just as vital, whether they do OF
do not, and we must not get angry
and make a step backward, but mus
hold on and push forward, eliminating
the Objectionable features. Negroes
eat at least once a day; they buy
groceries and meats. Somebody sells
food to them and that somebody does
not belong to our class; so why not
have part of this money return to us
through employees route? AS for the
investment feature The Star feels II
owes this much to the race, whether
the business ever pays or not, and
with the hope and desire of getting a
dividend some day. Yet the internal
and external good done the race, will
pay more of dividend III that way
than thru finances. Remember you
cannot always measure a success OF
business by a financial tape measure
Business men, buy some stock!

WERE NEGROES IGNORED?

We noticed by the Sunday papers
that meeting had been called by the
National Council of Defense of Colo
RADIO to meet at our State Capitol, to
which the heads of everyAorganization
and committees Of prolSnence, ETC.,
were invited, except those organiza-
tions which was wholly composed of
Negroes.
In the demonstration of Colorado's
worldwide democracy, was this ignor-
ing intentional or accidental? We have
our lodges, Y. NJ. C. A, Y. w. C. A,
Womens Clubs, Service League, and
even a Woman's Relief Corps of the
Grand Army of the Republic, which
were snubbed, and whose heads by
virtue of their Office were entitled to
be present at the meeting. Can it be
possible that color or race has en-
tered the National Defense League
when the nation is in dire need of
necessities and honest men and wo-
men who are called upon to make
daily sacrifices? We wonder If our
big-hearted Governor knows about
this? The burdens and benefits of
citizens of Colorado are not based
upon race or color.

Dear Co-Worker: I.

Dear Co-Worker:
am sending you today the second
official call. I know you are getting
ready for our great Denver meeting
destined to not only be the largest in
our history, but perhaps the most i'm
portant due to the critical period In
which we are living. Will you kindly
have this call inserted in your local
papers and any other papers that you
may have open to you. Our first call
was received courteously and affably
by the Colored Press everywhere. ]
am sure this one will also receive the
same consideration.
Do not lay this letter aside for to-
morrow, but do what you can for our
Association today. Has your Club
paid its per capita tax to our National
Treasurer? She is to make printed
report and II your money is not in by
June 1st 1t cannot be printed, but will
be read by her at Denver The Doug
lass Home has been redeemed. II has
not been restored. We need all the
money we can get to restore the
grounds and the home to its former
beauty. Remember that the women
Board Of Trustees must be elected to
take charge of that home. 1t will be
our official headquarters.
Programs will be ready for distri.
button May 18th, SO you NAV know
what is in store for you at the great
Denver meeting. The Chairman of
Programs has worked hard. Some
have not even answered her MANY let.
ters, but will be ready to CRITICISE.
NOW, let me dtgress: l have been ac-

CITIZENS, WHAT ABOUT THE MA
TioNAL CONVENTION OF THE
WOMEN'S CLUBS?

Without being charged with being a
meddler, and at the risk OF being criti-
cfsed by our women, we are asking
what plans have been laid for the gen
eral entertainment OF our guests this
summer? What citizens outside the
club women will take part? Do the
women OF Denver and Colorado juris-
diction intend to attempt to narrow
this great meeting wherein thousands
of strangers will be our city's guests
and visitors to their own efforts? This
meeting, the first Denver has ever
had, must not be used for selfish pur-
poses, trying to peacock few to the
humiliation Of the rest of citizens, but
1t should be conducted along big
enough and broad enough lines to in
clude both members and non-mem-
bers. The reputation OF Denver and
Colorado is at stake and all personal,
private, selfish advantage, and ambi-
tions should sink into insignificance
before our great and unified action in
which all can and ought to willingly
take part. More Anon. Citizens, get
busy.

YOUR RED CROSS
Buildings While You Wait. Apply
to the Red Gross
American Red Gross.

4, Place De La Concorce, Paris.
The American Red Gross in France
has established record for home
building. A call came to Paris from
"sonewhere in France for three br
racks. The Red Cross was told that
it would take the worl1men at least
five days to erect one building. With
in that time the Red Gross workers
had all three buildings up and ready
for occupancy. They employed just
% men on te job.
Red Cross officials determined
some time ago to place Sin stock" a
number of portable or demountable
barracks for immediate use whereve
they might be desired. 1t was DIS
covered that Swiss manufacturer
had on hand forty-three buildings
that were not needed by the Italian
army, for which they had been con-
structed. These barracks were Of
special design, hav'7g been made
from plans by an ian army officer
The Red Cross Immediately con-
tracted for the entie number, obtain
ed them and now can ship a home for
forty people to any part of Farnce
on a few hours notice, and erect it
in les than two days. It has even
supplied the United States Army
with ten of these buildings for imme-
diate use.
The buildings are unique in con-
strucUlon. Zach weighs about five
tons and can be easily shipped in ore
freight car. Unlike many demount-
able or "knock- down" buildings, tn Sc
these are absolutely rain and weather
proof, thus assuring adequate protee-
ton in unreasonable weather to refu-
gees, hospital patients, etc.
Each building when set up is about
81 feet long by II feet wide with
twelve large windows. The original
barracks had only six windows, but
the Red Cross, acting on the sound
American hygenic principle Of "fresh
air and light" put six more IN the
sides.
