MIGRATION INTENSIFIES
RACE PROBLEM NORTH
Two Million Colored People Have
Gone North From the South.

CA n. p. Service).
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April s.
The continued migration of South
ern Negroes into Northern states
is slowly bringing about a situation
which only the most careful edu-
calional and spiritual effort can
avert, according to leading social
ogrStS who have contributed to the
survey taken by the Northern Bap-
fists in their New World Movement
here recently. 1t is estimated that
there are now 12,000000 Colored
people in the United States. In 1910
almost 100000 of them lived in the
South. Today il is estimated that
less than 100000 remain in the
South. The Northern BaptiStS are
appropriating part of the $780,
100000 fund to be raised in the
New World Movement for the eS-
tabliShment Of educational and re-
creational centerS in Northern
cities.

HARDWOOD STOCKS
DECREASE FURTHER
Lumber on Hand in Memphis
Territory But 40 Per
Cent of Normal.

Further dimlnution of total and un-
sold stocks of hardwood lumber at the
mills in the Memphis territory and
further decrease in production during
the month of January, were evidenced
in the reports made at the February
meeting of the open competition plan
members of the Memphis district of the
American Hardwood Manufacturers
association, he4d Tuesday afternoon at
the Hotel GayoSo. Production of hard
wood lumber in the territory during the
month of January wasSbut 10 per cent
of normal and the stocks on hand Feb.
/ we're also but As per cent of normal.
In THE matter of production thts was
decrease of per cent fEom Decem-
ber's output and as to stocks, falling
off of per cent.
The prediction was made that the
Output in the next 60 days will not ex-
coed 81 per cent, and in this connec-
ton F. r. Gadd, manager of statistics.
pointed out that at no time during the
year have the sanguif1e expectations of
the hardwood manufacturers as to pro-
duction been realized. The prediction
made in December for January produc
ton was 66 per cent. of normal but as
Is seen, this failed Of realization by Il
per cent.
A discussion of the effect of the de-
preciated foreign exchange on the
American hardwood market elected the
opinion tnaJ foreign uelndHu Woulu pe
greatly curtaied. not only by ordinary
economic processes, but by embargoes
of foreign governments limiting the
importation of certain lumber stocks in
order to help restore. the balance. Of
trade.
The meeting was presided over by
James e. Stark, chairman of tho
executive committee of the association,
and some so members were present.
A letter to the members from Gen.
i. C. Boyle, general counsel. was read.
This related to the suit which the gov
eminent has brought in the United
States district court here to enjoin the
open competition plan membership
from further operation. The letter
called the attention of the members to
the fact that the governments action
is merely a civil suit to test legal
principle and that the opportunity
given the open competition plan mem
bers to- vindicate it's practices formally
in the courts should be welcomed.

LAST FORTY DAYS

wednesday marked the beginning Of
the religious period known as Lent, a
season OF 40 days during which what

olic faiths, as the penitential offices OF

character throughout Lent.
Special calendars setting forth the
hours and days on which services will
be held have been distributed to the
members of the Episcopal parishes.
