AT the recent conference of rail-
road Y. NJ c. A. secretaries at
Kansas City. which was attended
by Secretary Lynn II. Fox. it was
decided to put on the regular
membership campaign. Allotmen.s
for this year were made on a basis
of a 10 per cent increase of the
mark reached last year.
/ The local association under the
able direction of Mr.. Fox, general
secretary, secured total of 1,035
| members last year, which will
place the mark for this year at APP
IproXimately Lao members. The
officers and different committees
are very enthusiastic and expect to
make a whirlwind campaign. 1t
| is the slogan of c. T. French, presi-
dent. that every business man
should be a member of the asso-
citation.
The local Y. NJ. C. A. is recog-
nized as taking a very leading part
in the social and general activities
of the city of Albuquerque and it
goes without saying it will secure
the largest membership this year

finest advertisements of the city
and 1t officers and workers stand
ever ready to give the glad hand
and hearty welcome to the travel
ing stranger. of which there are
thousands visit the building every
year. Hardly a train goes through
but what some of the passengers
come into the building to look 1T
over and get acquainted.
Others come for the purpose of
having their mail directed; to write
cards and letters and get infoFma-
ton: all are received with the
same courtesy that is accorded
local members. Along with the
many other duties performed by
the local workers is the receiving

not handled with most exact
promptness, sometimes brings a

According to the program handed
out before the convention opened.
Rev Boyd was to appear four times,
thus giving the Negro Baptists of

Boyd, according to cable messages

opportunity to give out his recipe

In making his hurried departure
from the Jail the sheriff ran down
little boy but did not seem to be
badly hurt. In the meantime the
anger Of the mob was vented on the
officer who drew his gun and for a
few minutes 1t appeared he would be
roughly handled. Cooler counsel pre-
vailed and the outwitted crowd slow

There was talk to the effect that
bloody clothing was found at the

declared this was untrue and said
there were no physical facts to con-

Industrial centers are becoming bet
ter organized along social-service
lines to care properly for the Negro
migrants. The movement of Negroes
from the South to the North, the
: East, and the West continues, in
spite OF the industrial depression.
What Cleveland is doing to help
young Colored women and girls,
many of whom have recently come
from small Southern rural commune
ities was recently presented to some
Of the Hampton Institute workers
| by Miss Jane Hunter, founder and
general manager of the Phillis
lWheatley Association, which has won
THE active financial and moral sup
port of Cleveland's white and Colored
citizens. Miss Hunter said:
"The Phillis Wheatley Association
building is not adequate to meet the
needs of Colored girls in Cleveland
We reach. on an average, probably
eight or nine hundred girls a month
With our vesper services included
we probably reach $4,000 girls
year. Some girls are educated, some
are uneducated, some are poor, and
some are in good circumstances.
Our chief aim, however. is to help
the working girl. We have never
lost sight of the girls who has never
Lad chance.
I'VE have an employment bureau
through which we help about 700
people every month. Most of the
Jobs are for work by the day. Other
jobs are in domestic service, fac
tories. ana stores.
we found that we were getting
hold Of a lot of unframed, ignorant
girls who did not know anything
about our customs and the things
they were being asked to do, so we
started an educational department
two years ago. 1t was not a real
success until last year, when we
secured the services Of an Oberlin
graduate. to start that work prop
erly. She had building all to her
self, in which to teach modern house
keeping, domestic service, sewing,
and some handicrafts.
I'VE also found another problem
to solve. The mothers whom we
sent out to work were leaving at
home lot of little girls, who were
at an age to be led astray. A lot
OF complaints had come to the Phillis
Wheatley Association and we thought
we ought to do something. OF course.
II we did not do it, someone else
would but there was no one else
to do it. We organized what is
known as the Girls Reserve. IN
order to help girls from s to is
years Of age. We were fairly swamp
ed with children. We started with
volunteer help and what little II
knew about children. In less than
six weeks we had over $50 little girls.
The Y. w. c. A. loaned us one of
their workers, who mapped out a
program for us. A fine white friend
gave us money to send a girl off for
special training for this work. We
now have over 200 little girls en-
rolled. The mothers are happy to
have us have their girls.
I'm 1913 we had one worker. whom
we paid S25 month and gave her
a room The work has grown un-
til now we have Is secretaries. Our
salaries average $4,000 a year. Our
annual budget is now $4,000: last |
year It was $4,000. We feel quite
sure that we can secure money for
our budget What we want Of the
white people is the benefit OF their
training. II white peonle will give
US a chance. we win do the rest.
