New York restaurants and lunch
rooms patronized wholly or in part
by women are said to experience
far more difficulty than other es-
Establishments of the kind in secur-
ing and retaining walters or wait
resses. Several explanations have
been given, but the two chief rea-
sons seem to be that the women
patrons are far more difficult to
please than the men-and the wo-
men don't tip. Even, with large
pIacards on the wall saying mo
Tins" a man will leave dime be-
hind him. He simply can't help
It. He hasn't the courage not to.
But the majority of women do not
hesitate to leave the table without
placing a gratuity under the plate.
Minus the customary tips, the wait
or who serves IN an establishment
patronized by women has only his
small wages for his work. Conse-
ouent1y. he accepts employment in
such a place only when he cannot
find q position in a mems restaur-
ant.

Victory War Loan
Need More Speed
Closing Week of Drive Has
Job of Going Over the
Top to Surmount

Banker Archie Sillers from Call
vim. was in the city yesterday in his
capacity as county chairman of the
fifth, or Victory war loan drive. In
the past week, since the start of the
campaign drive for the subscription
of Cavalier county's allotment of
$500. 900 worth of the war bonds,
Mr.. Sillers has made tour of prac-
tically the antire county. The pro-
gress thus far in the various districts
in the county in meeting their quota
he finds to have been somewhat slow
er than had been anticipated by those
who are working on the drive. Re.
ports of either towns or rural dis
tricts having gone over the top have
yet to come in he says, though there
is steady response, especially for
bonds of the smaller denomination.
There is another week before the
campaign closes and plans are now
being made by the bond sellers to-
put this county over the top once
more. To bring success there will
have to be prompt response on the
part of every one when they are
asked to subscribe for their allot.
ment of the bonds. None can afford
to be shirkers this time.

why. | want you to feel free to con-
fer with me. Present these mat
ters to me in any way you think
best and as soon as you can. / am
glad you responded to my call"
This is not the exact language of
the Mayor. but it is in substance
what he said.
1t is needless to say that the men
were surprised beyond measure at this
statement of Mr.. Lawther. Could he
really mean what he said? In former
years there have been men elected
TO the position of Mayor who were
friendly to our people, but never
before had there been one who sought
to confer with Colored men in re-
gard to the welfare of the race in
the City and wished to do something
definite for its civic advancement.
Was Mr.. Lawther sincere? Let the
record speak.
(D. AS indicated above, he volun-
tarily appointed a Negro Welfare
Board to look after the civic inter-
ests of the Colored people of Dallas,
and to make recommendations to
him and the Commissioners for need
ed improvements.
(2). Negroes were barred from
Woodlawn Hospital an institution
erected and maintained jointly by the
City and County out of the public
funds for the care and treatment Of
INDECENT tubercular patients who are
bona fide residents. AS soon as his
attention was called to the matter
Mr.. Lawther provided place fol
Negroes; and plans have already
been drawn for an enlarged hospita
wherein Negro patients will have
ample quarters and modern treat
ment, the same as white patients
Negro patients are to be cared fol
by Negro nurses.
81. The records of the Cit!
showed the Negro death rate to b'
extremely large In order to reduce
this death rate, he had the City tt
employ a Colored trained nurse t.
The Dallas express. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1893-1970, 1919-03-22

visit the homes of the poor and
afflicted of the race to administer
to them when sick and to see that
they obtained medical attendance, and
medicine at the expense of the City.
When the white district nurses re-
ceived an increase in pay to meet
the high cost of living, he gave the
Colored nurse a ten dollar per month
raise, also.
o., Colored property owners on
Trinidad and Cochran streets, be-
tween Allen and Routb streets, had
petitioned previous administrations
for sewerage connections, which had
been uniformly denied because the
property was out of grade with regu-
lar sewerage system. When the mat
ter was presented to Mr.. Lawther
and Mr.. Cason. the work was order
ed done, and is less than sixty days
it was completed.
90. Many Negro families in the
City are poor, uneducated and do not
know how to properly rear theiI
children, they allow them to roam
the streets at will and get into all
kinds of mischief. Many of then
will eventually swell the crimina
record of the race to the detrimen
of all. Mr.. Lawther was instrumental
in having Colored Child Welfare
Worker appointed to show thes'
poor people how to better the con
ditions of themselves and their chill
dren; and promises that when tn
next budget is made up to provid
for part of her pay out of the publ
funds the same as is being don
for the whites.
