Answering your questions. we
say;
l. The seats back of the signs
are reserved for Negroes, and
whites are legally barred from us
ing them even If they are not occu-
pied by Negroes. Likewise the seats
in front of the signs are reserved
for white persons, and it is illegal
for Negroes to occupy them even
though there may be no white per-
sons on board. In our opinion
white persons ought not to occupy
the seats reserved for Negroes in
the first instance, but If they shall
do this, they ought to vacate them
when Negroes board the cars. II
the street railway company habit
ually allots to Negroes more seats
than they require, with the results
that there are not enough seats for
whites. then the company is not
providing equal accommodations.
and the Supervisor of Public UtiIi-
ties ought to require it to do So
According to our observation, how
ever, the deprivation usually is the
other way. White persons often 0c-
cupy the seats in the rear of cars
when no Negroes are aboard, even
though there are vacant seats in
the section allotted to whites, and
the whites continue to occupy such
seats after Negroes board the cars.
Sometimes whites sit with the .--e-
groes, although the intent Of the
law is to separate the two races.
At other times white persons Oe-
cupy all of the seats for Negroes,
notwithstanding the fact that there
are unoccupied seats in the section
reserved for whites. We have re-
peatedIy suggested that white per-
sons ought to observe this law lit
orally, especially in view OF the
fact that the law was made upon
their demand. The fact that some
white persons may have to stand.
although all the Negroes on car
have seats, does not signify that
the Negroes ought to yield their
seats to whites. AS a matter Of
fact, they can not do SO without
sanctioning violation of the law

disdain upon this kind of amusement,
yet none can deny but that these
people are demonstrating the ability
of the race to compete in any art.

WEEKLY
LESSON IN CTVICS.

Ignorance of the law is an ex-
cuse for no man."
The women of our group are
daily brought into contact with that
obnoxious and humiliating law call
ed Jim Grow Car Law" Few of
us really know the law because the
law is different in most of the
states. Like all good Americans let
us obey the law, no matter how
foolish or humiliating it may seem
to us and when we meet con-
dition which compels us to make
a decided stand. Let us first be
sure that we are within the bounds
of our state law. We shall in the
meantime do all we can to help
abolish such laws, which are de-
signed for our humiliation and
which are un-Democratic and I'M
american until then let us use
these common carriers only when
necessity demands their use and
when we do, let us keep within the
law, for if you do not, when you
face Justice you will have to an
swer to the letter of the law.
Below is a clipping from the
dallas Journal giving the Law
and their Interpretation of the
same:
Article 1923 of the Penal Code

that:

business in this State as a common
carrier of passengers for hire
shall provide separate coaches OF

of comforts and convenience.

USE BEST MATERIALS IN COOK
ING,

In cooking the best is never too
good, and in the long run is more
economical. When making cakes
and bread use high grade cake
or bread flour and a cream of tar
tar baking powder use pure ex-
tracts. These cost more but the
finished product is worth the cost.
Know Your Stove.
Many cooks have the idea that
a raging fire adds to the heat
ing of stove especially have
found it so with the use of gas.
First of all your stove must have
daily care, l. e., the stove may be
polished with a cloth having a lit
tie paraffin oil on it. The tray
underneath the burners should be
washed also. Each week the burn
ers should be wiped off with oil
and each little hole cleaned by US
ing wire or knitting needle. The
stop cocks should be freed of all
grease and dust. The stove should
always be perfectly clean for best
results. See that your burners
give q blue if not have some
one show you how to regulate your
values.
Less gas is consumed if yes
sci is allowed to come to a boil
over one burner then lower 1t
slightly. 1t will not be any hotter
il it's boiling hard. If the oven is
TO be used light both burners until
the desired heat is secured-then
turn out one or lower both-An

cause for wide spread rejoicing
than the women of our group
First, because our physical and

which responds most readily to the
ravages of King Alcohol Second

strike the poor and leave upon
them its most destructive results,
and It is within this class, we are
largely listed. A visiting physician
was heard to say recently, that al
ready he could observe the results
of Prohibition within the homes of
his patients. They were now al
ways in a position to pay him spot
cash for his services, and he found
more mothers, who were able to
stay at home, nurse their babies
and keep their houses clean and
tidy, because the father is able
and willing to bring his money
home instead of leaving his week
