A WORD TO DISABLED SOLDIERS

Every man who was in the military
Of naval service of the United States
during the late war, and who on ac-
count of such service is not physical
y fitted to engage at once in a gain
full occupation should at once notify
the Bureau of War Rish Insurance in
Washington, D. c.
Under the law this Bureau is charg-
ed with providing for service men dis
charged because of disability incurred
in active service in the line of duty,
compensation and free medical treat
uent until such time as they are re-
stored to physical fitness. During the
summer Of 1918 there was a general
-Ombing out of the military training
camps of the country in an effort 20
bring the standard of physical fitness,
and many men discharged at that time
may be of their rights under
an act of Congress to compensation
Tor disability and medical attention
nd hospital treatment where neces-
.ary. All cases OF this or a like ma
sure should be brought Immediately
to the attention Of the Bureau of War
Uish Insurance.

"AELP WANTED, WHITE
Joe E. Hereford.

" -
The sun recently expressed uneasi-
ness e the fact that so many help
wanted ads for domestic service open
" Disseminated against Negro appli
cauts and appeared at a loss to under
stand why this condition obtains. Now
We have all read these same ads and
we have all thought about it with the
same uneasiness; and the more we
think about it the more we are inclin-
ed to see that the question is one
which has two sides to it.
In as much as NOS white people OF
the employing class are inclined to
regard the Negroes as a born servant
class it follows that this class should
De mostly in demand for domestic ser
vice, particularly. In fact it may be
said safely, that ninety per cent Of the
white employing class naturally pre-
fer CClOTed servants, all things being
equal, and that these servants in most
cases would be we'll paid, fairly we'll
treated and permanently employed if
they could be secured.
There are in Kansas City many
highly respectable Negro women who
are employed in domestic service and
who have held their positions during
many years with supreme satisfaction.
These are trusted implicitly, we'll
cared for and in some cases actually
beloved.
But this class of servants is not
large enough and that's where the
trouble comes in. 1t is regretable but
1t is true that there is a rapidly in
Creasing class of young women of our
race who are untitled either by train
tng or temperament to fit into the
sphere which ought to appeal to them,
II certainly is no disgrace to work. 1t
is honorable, most honorable in a
woman who has no to support her
in honest life. But this latter class
of our women do not think so. True,
many of them will accept a servant
place long enough to recuperate a
stock of clothing or to meet some 9th
er material ambition. But this ambi-
lion being realized they quit their
Jobs unceremoniOusly after a short
and unsatisfactory period of careless
and desultory service characterized
by hardness, uncertainty and lack OF
devotedness.
Amy Negro woman of good character
Who actually wants to work can Sc
cure in Kansas City a permanent posi-
ton with good wage, room and board
and the kindest treatment from heI
employers.
Another fallacy which possesses a
great many young Negro women who
claim to be Disseminated against is
he growing disposition not to worR
for their own people. There are many
good positions of this sort in Kan
sas City, just as good as places witt
white families, perhaps better, ant
which go untitled because of this van
ity. Negro families are unable to Sc
cure even school girls to live witt
them and wholly or partly earn thel
keep. In fact the educated or the half
educated girls appear to be the leasl
dependable in this respect. In our Owl
family we have tried several higf
school girls who, Notwithstanding
fairly good wages and fare, usually
quit without notice as soon as they
have worn out all the records on tht
victrola and the rolls on the player
piano.
The help-wanted-white ads in the
Sunday papers are usually inspired by
these conditions-very seldom by amy
other.
