The commission TO suggest any
needed changes in the Vermont con-
stitution is getting the worth OF its
money-and not much money. The
world is full of people who have =
theory that by changing the laws and
the constitution they can make the
world over and cure all the mean
tricks of the grown-up children who
populate the earth. Perhaps the limit
of absurdity urged at the meeting OF
the commission a few days ago IS
that the constitution Of Vermont shall
make a rule as TO how II shall proceed
TO act on a proposed amendment to
the constitution of the United States
Back in 1871 Vermont surrendered TO
the United States of America and

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, ILL.,, Dec 16.-Bob Ander-
son, notorious Negro cabaret char
acter, was shot and killed by Cleo
Weir, a white denizen of Chicago's
underworld. Jealousy was the cause
for the shooting. 1t appears that An
derson was seeking to transfer his
affections to another white woman
named Ruby Clark. The Weir wom-
an strenuously objected to this pro-
cedure and the shooting followed dur
ing visit of Anderson to her apart
ments.
Anderson was one of the dandy
members of the city's underworld life
and was a prime favorite with the
white women who frequented the
BLACK and tan" resorts on the south
side. He leaves a Negro wife, Hazel
Anderson, and came to Chicago from
St Louis, Mo-, where his parents and
relatives are said to live.

Prescott, Ariz., Dec. 16.-George
Edwards, colored, a patient at the
public health service hospital at
Whipple barracks, here, was shot and
fatally wounded Saturday as he lay
in bed in a ward filled with other sick
ex-service men. He died a few min
utes later. The coroner's jury in the
afternoon returned a verdict stating
Edwards died as a result of wounds
inflicted by Thomas Murphy with
homicidal intent. Murphy, like Ed
wards, was a Negro patient. 1t was
brought out at the inquest that Muir
ply had borrowed a razor from Ed
wards and Edwards said he would
tell the officers it had Eeen stolen.
The following morning Edwards re-
ported to the officers and a short time
afterward, witnesses said, Murphy en-
tered the ward and opened fire at
Edwards, shooting five times. Muir
ply is being held in the county jail.

NEAR EAST RELIEF
APPEALS To ARIZONA
PEOPLE FOR help

While Arizona, well clothed and
well fed is enjoying the holiday sea-
son, the officials of the Near East
Relief are reminding the people of the
unhappy condition of more than 25,-
900 orphans under American care half
way around the world, dependent
upon the generosity of those more
fortunate for the bare necessities Of
life.
For IS, which would hardly provide
a meal on some tables in this coun-
try, a homeless, fatherless child in
Armenia can ts fed for a month,
while SIS will feed, clothe and edu-
cate one of the little wards for that
length of time, and it is to keep this
work going through the coming win
ter that collections are now being
made.
If all of the refugee children cared
for by the Near East Relief were
seated at the same table, it would be
"a miles long, and new contributions
are needed continually to fill that
long line of plates Winter is adding
TO the distress in Armenia and Syria,
and the long table will become more
and more crowded as the weather
grows colder.
Although the assembly Of the league
of nations now is working on some
plan to relieve the political and eco
nomic condition of Armenia, it will
be long before any reorganization can
help the individual refugees, and
those in charge of the Near East Re-
lief point out that tens of thousands
of children now being fed and clothed
by American contributions will, if
properly educated, in time become
substantial citizens of the new Ar.
menian republic.
