Don't wear a skirt that's cut in two,
You'll find number marked in

She never uses powder, she never

And little bunch of daisies is the

She'll never be Venus in the true

But she's helpin' of her Mother

Never would bother with keepin' a

Could tell a good story and sure en-.

Could keep you alaughin' without

Everybody liked him for his very cum

And among the jolly jerrys he was

But he's workin' of his Mother every

The colored soldiers and sailors
who served in the world war have a
personal representative in the gov
ernment's Bureau of War Risk Insur
ance. He is Lieutenant Jay Williams
Clifford, of Washington, D. c., for
merly an officer in the famous Buffa'
10 regiment, which made history in
France.
The continuance of the colored SER
vice mans insurance is one of the i'm
portant parts of the Bureaus work.
There were 10000 negro soldiers and
sailors in the servic and they car
ried approximately $2,5OO,O00,O0O of
War Risk Insurance. The appoint
ment of Lieutenant Clifford to look
after the interests of the colored men
was made because of the need for hav
ing a colored man thoroughly familiar
with government insurance who
would give his entire attention TO the
task of holding in line these 100000
returned service men.
Lieutenant Clifford will point out
to the members of his race the i'm
portance of holding on to their war
risk insurance as a financial protec-
ton in their old age.
very few insurance companies in
sure colored people, said Lieutenant
Clifford. "They do not insure the
members of my race, even at higher
premium rates. The reason for this
is that the mortality rate among Ne
groes is higher than that among other
races. This is strong argument in
favor Of every colored soldier and
sailor taking advantage of Uncle
Sans insurance offer.
''The Bureau of War Risk Insurance
is to be maintained as permanent in
stitution. in recognition of the ser
vices the soldiers and sailors rendered
the United States during the world
war The Government is offering the
safest and lowest cost insurance, and
protection to colored men otherwise
unobtainable.
"Colored organizations throughout
the country have given the Bureau
valuable aid in assisting discharged
service men in arranging to carry
their insurance, and have volunteered
to cooperate in every way possible.
THE alvice of all leading colored
citizens to soldiers and sailors is to
keep up their government insurance,
l hope every discharged service man
among the Negroes will feel it his
