CANNOT CARE FOR
OPPRESSED CHICAGO BLACKS

jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. 3.-Act-
ing Gov. Wallace Crossley today wired
a newspaper of Chicago that Missouri
is unable to take care of any of the
negroes desiring to leave that city
following the race riots. The message
was sent in reply to query as to how
many of the negroes Missouri would
be able to absorb.
In his reply Crossley said: 1--WE con-
graduate the negroes on their desire
to get back where they belong, and re-
greet that your great city, with its
wonderful opportunities and boosted
recognition Of many creeds and col
ors, has not been able to protect the
black race. Missouri has already alb
sorbed several thousand Illinois ne
groes as the result of former race
war in East st. Louis, and with our
own industrial and political prob
lens to solve we are not able at this
time to provide a refuge or asylum
or employment for Chicago's OPP
pressed negroes"

THE NEED FOR THRIFT

The United States Federal Reserve
Board is impressed with the imme-
diate needs for more saving among
which confront the world today. The
Board recently had this to say:
1.-THE reaction resulting from the
close of the war has PROFESSIONALLY
tended to increase the disposition of
individuals to buy and spend with
comparatively little regard for tho
eventful results of their action. Pos
sibly the most important immediate
outcome of this condition of affairs is
the overstimulation of retail trade in
luXuries and the relative retardation
of business in basic comodities and
materials for manufacture"
In other words the Reserve Board
wants the American people to save
first and think before they spend.
The world is confronted with a
pressing in the United States than
elsewhere. Europe is demanding cred
it in this country for the purchase of
goods, materials and labor, with which
to rebuild it's devastated regions and
to reEabilitate it's stricken industries.
This country has already extended
vast credits to Europe. The Federal
Reserve Board has estimated that
new European demands amounting to
nearly $4,000, 100000 must be cared
for during the coming year.
To extend any such vast credit as
this, the capital must be forthcoming.
Europe may spend most of these bill
lions here, but our industries and COM
merce cannot be maintained on cred
it alone. While they are waiting for
Europe to produce enough actual cap
ital to pay it's bills here, they must
have capital on which to live.
Capital can only come from savings.
Our financial leaders are agreed that
only from the savings of America can
we supply the tremendous sums in ac-
tual cash which must be forthcoming
if our industry and commerce is to
be maintained in full time operation,
and if prosperity is to be continued in
this country. Every individual must
assume the responsibility for saving
and for careful spending. This is one
of the reasons behind the govern
ment's continued offer of Savings Sc
curities to the people. Investment in
Thrift Stamps, Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates means
the accumulation of capital in Amer
lea that is vitality needed.

just the opposite. and to make matters
worse the nasty thunder squall broke
just when Butler Whiting. chairman OF

ready to start the programme.
The programme was made up OF the
usual numbers. AS is generally the case,
the canoe tilt and the tub race furnished
Tots Meistrell. the well known Eras-
mus Hall High School athlete. and c.
Sutherland, another Erasmus boy, had a
great battle with Garry and Harrington,
two Larchmont lads. After poking away
at each other for a half hour without
scoring a spill the committee decided to
call the contest a draw.
A swimming race for girls was won by
Miss d. Kane. with Miss +. Garry sec
ond. The tub race went to Vale, with
Garry second. In a two paddle canoe
race the winners were the O'Callahan
brothers, with Kane and Collins second

winners Of mixed canoe race. The
senior swimming race went TO J. Kane,
with c. Sutherland second. The winner
OF the junior swim was L. Kane, with c.
c. Farrell second.
There was to have been a bang and go
back motor boat race, but owing to the
miserable weather not a single motor
boat reported. The committee decided
to call It of until Thursday afternoon.
