LEARN TO SAVE

In setting aside June 22nd as Na-
tional Thrift Sunday, the United
States government makes a special ap-
peal to all Negro communions to dis
seminate among their people the gos-
pei of true thrift--saving first and
steadily spending wisely and invest
ing safely.
The savings division of the Treasury
Department, which is promoting
thrift and avoidance of waste in every
nook and corner of the country, urges
that pastors preach special sermons
on the subject of Thrift" on that
day.
A letter has been sent to all Negro
pastors by Harold Braddock, director
of the savings division, calling atten-
ton to National Thrift Sunday, and
urging the clergymen to scotch the
evil of wastefulness by advocating the
practise of sensible saving and invest
ing in sound securities, such as War
Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps.
A message from Secretary of the
Treasury Glass, urging the adoption
of the thrift doctrine by the Negro
race in America, will be read in
church pulpits on June 22nd.
Mr.. Braddock's statement, in part,
follows:
eve are hoping that you will be
able to assist the local savings direc-
tor in carrying on the savings cam
paign in his community, and that you
will impress upon the members of the
organizations connected with your
church the desirability of careful saw
ing for some worthy object. 1t would
seem that, in the organizations which
are desirious of saving for this pur-
pose, it would be to their interest to
be enrolled as Government Savings
Societies. The Savings and Thrift
Stamp securities offered by the gov
ernment are so safe and so accessible
to the investor of such small amounts
that we fell that they should be well
adapted to the needs of any church
organization. We also feel that If the
members of these organizations begin
investing their savings in government
securities it will aid the members to
feel that they have direct stake and
interest in their government, and make
them more active and intelligent citi-
zens.
1--WE are counting on your assistance
in this great movement for peace-time
patriotism

Private jackson now finds that the
city has no objection to one-eyed
cop who has given the other eye for
his country. This ruling of the Mu-
nicipal Civil Service Commission is
on par with its general attitude to
returned soldiers and sailors.
The Municipal Civil Service Com
mission is about to hold examinations
for firemen and patrolmen. The eX-
animation for firemen will take place
July 8, and that for patrolmen, Sep
tember 8. Five hundred returned sol
diers and sailors have already signi-
fled their intention of taking the fire
mans examination and it is expected
that an even greater number will par
ticipate in the patrolmans eXamina-
tiOn.
To help these candidates, the com
mission has suggested to the Board
of Education that it might conduct
special classes for all honorably dis
charged soldiers and sailors to en-
able them to brush up for the mental
examinations and this extremely
practical way of helping the boys is
receiving the most serious considera-
tion of the Department of Education.
Net satisfied with showing this in
terest, the Municipal Civil Service
Commission has created IL new sub
| ject for examination called citizenship.
This test will apply to the patrolman's
examination and all subsequent eX-
aminations. BY it soldiers and sailors
will be able to secure higher places on
the lists than they would have been
able to secure by the old methods, as
it gives them substantial consideration
for their military or naval service
without discouraging candidates who
lacked this service.-The New Age.

Edw. Jackson Member
of Old 18th Gets
Appointment
Although Disabled Municipal Civil
Commission Rules Soldiers
Should Be Protected.

yvT HEN Edward jackson qualified
w in 1917 for appointment as pa
trolman it was found that he
cause he was II member of the old
Fifteenth Regiment, fighting in France
When Jackson came home and was
mustered out. his mind turned again
to the position of patrolman and he
was Informed that he probably could
not be appointed now by reason of
physical disability. The disability was
due to the fact that his right eye had
been torn out by shrapnel.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the Municipal Civil Service
Commission and it Immediately re-
certified Jackson under the following
rule, which it promulgated last July
''2. No candidate in an open COM
petitive examination shall be disquali-
fled by reason of his suffering from
injuries received in the military or
naval service of the United States dur
ing the present war, where the claim
of such candidate is substantiated to
the satisfaction of the commission,
provided such candidate was, at the
time of entering the service of the
United States, resident of the City of
New York and provided further that
the commission finds that the appoint
ment of such candidate would not be
prejudicial to the best interests of the
city,"

Chicago, June with the recent
riot between the students of Yale Col
lege at New Haven, Conn, between
students and soldiers and the lynch
ing of Il white man in Missouri, jay
Lynch, there is Il new awakening on
the subjects of mobs and riots.
In the New Haven case one man
was shot and several severely wound
ed otherwise, the cause being the re-
port that certain students had made
slurring remarks to returned soldiers.
One of the leaders remarked on the
subject: 1T is necessary for this gov
ernment of ours to take some radical
action against riots and mob violence,
but it is expecting a great deal of any
American soldier to have him remain
quiet and passive when he is ridiculed
by slackers, while he barred his breast
to German cannon"
Jay Lynch was accused of murder,
and had been tried and sentenced.
Twenty-four white men broke into the
judges private room and took Lynch
out from the presence of his wife,
mother, baby and other relatives, and
lynched him in the presence of great
crowd of people.
