MISS LULU BlLLMAN
ADDRESSES HOME
BUREAU CLASS

Wednesday afternoon at $50 p. M,
July 2, Miss Billman spoke to the
ladies Of the Home Bureau Glass on
her visit to North Carolina and the
aeeting of the National Conference
If the American Association of The
Tome Demonstrators. The place If
meeting was in town located IN tie
Blue Ridge Mountains.
Miss Billman, in her description,
said that the scene was one of the
most picturesque and the climate
ideal. She told Of the marvellous
work that the Home Demonstrators
were doing In the South and the eol
ored people as we'll as the whites
we're intensely interested in the move
nent. Some Of the states have as
many as twenty colored workefa.
rhe workers coming into the various
istricts work out the problems Of
anitation and care Of infants. This
work is very essential in the South
where the population OF the colored
eople is The greatest. 1t has been
discovered that the death rate Of The
olored people is too low Some au-
horities have said that the death rate
is greater than the birth rate. If
that is true OF If we have ehe slight
ast idea that it is halfway true it
makes it all the more necessary that
this Home Demonstration work. The
Home Demonstrators in the South see
that all the people in the rural dis
trict, that can afford it, buy COW,
Is milk is the most important food
for children. In the South they have
discovered that about every four fam-
lilies in the country has cow. The
workers started "buy your own
cow campaign. Through the cam
ming clubs, women and girls raise md
can vegetables and sell them and with
the money obtained by this process
they buy cows for the poor faniiiles
that have babies and can not affora

BITS or INTEREST
BY lst sergt. James Jones
Co. &c" 3s2 Inf, Red Hand Div.


MANY of our friends have been an
xious to know why Capt. Robt. Il
Mallory did not return home with his
company as he marched away at The
head of them in 1917, in order 10
relieve them of their anxiety to know
why he did not.
Won remember what happened to
Col. Charles Young, who climbed up
the ladder of promotion after many
wears Of soldering, he won his pro-
motion through proving to his super
iors that black man was capable Of
being Ia any office held By The whites,
and after reaching the grade Of col
onei then came the end of his career
by the declaration Of war on Ger
many. which called for an increase OF
troops which meant promotion Tor oil
officers OF all grades. Lit Col. Young
was one of the senior officers Of mis-
grade which brouht him in line for
the said promotion, but by the UNJUST
administration of our government a
syndicate was formed and decided TO
have Col. Young examined by board
and d physician pronounced him as
unfit for active service, which meant
he was to be retired with q rank OF
colonel, after which several OF the
white 1t. Coils. were promoted 70
grades OF briggadier general and
major generals.
Dear readers, the same thing ap-
niles to- the case of Capt. Mallory
.wla won a wide reputation in che
campaign OF the world war, while IN
France Capt. Robt. H. Mallory was
the only black officer of the 372nd
inf. who commanded battalion IN
the trenches, and the only black cap.
tain entering the final drive OF che
war at the head of his company WITT
the arg inf. He was we'll liked by al
the regiment and the only officer that
was not openly sent away from ms
command by Col. Tupes, who had nt
use for a black officer, and many
times remarked that mo black skunl
could run his regiment But to Capt
Mallory his attitude was different OF
several occasions he called upon Capt
Mallory to form his plant OF defenee'
Of the most desperate positions IN tn
trenches and sectors OF Hill SO4 ant
the Arrgonne forest, and they PROVED
always successful and much credi
given TO Capt. Mallory for his knowi
edRe of trench warfare which wa
due 10 the fact that he had workes
and studied hard to make his way u
the ladder OF promotion and BY Al
naeany should have been Colonel Nal
lory instead of Capt. Mallory.
Upon recommendation Of the higl
French command that Capt. Mailor'
he promoted to the grade Of major
the following answer was sent Y
Capt. Mallory:
aUnder the Democratic Almlnistra
ton. the Al E. r. does not provide ~
eoloYed field officers" Therefore
Cant. Mallory was not promoted I
the field, but instead he remained
eaptain and remained at the head 9

Champagne Drive, most all colore
officers had been let out Of the reg
M ent by means Of unjust and unfal
results Of the Boards. which wer
