Training Negro Social
Workers

A social service school for colored
students was established this fall at At.
lanta, Ga, in cooperation with More
house College, under the control Of an
executive committee and an advisory
council. This school is largely the out
growth of discussion at the New Or
leans meeting of the National Confer
ence of Social Work participated in by
executives Of organizations throughout
the country who were interested in the
problem Of training the Negro for social
work. In an address before the con-
ference, Jesse 0. Thomas, field secre-
tary Of the National Urban League, en-
phasized the Importance Of social well
fare organizations, manned by white
people working in urban communities,
adding Negro social workers to their
staff.
The object Of the school is to afford
young Negro men and women an oppor-
tunity for training in principles and
technique of social work. AS Mr..
Thomas pointed out, trained leadership
In solving the Negro problem in the
soUth is essential. Atlanta seems a wise
choice for the school since it not only
has large Negro population but also a
splendid spirit of cooperation between
the races. Further, it is surrounded by
schools and colleges. The various social
agencies Of the city are in the forefront
in the south, and the leading ones have
developed strong Negro departments,
notably the Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
tion, the Juvenile Court and the Asso-
ciated Charities. The southern head
quarters of the National Urban League
is also in Atlanta. = il

Act Up to la. Solons

Des Moines, Iowa, Dec. 19.-One Of
tho urgent demands upon the legislature
| will be the passage Of bill providing
the world war. Before the election can
didates for the legislature were urged
to pledge themselves for a policy that
will provide bonus of SIS per month
for the time in actual service. Many
Of the members believe that the ma
tional government should take this mat
ter up rather than the individual states.
A number of states have already made
provision for taking care Of it's men and
the general impression is that legisla-
lures must face the proposition rather
than congressional action. w. G. Edison,
member of the legislature from Buena
Vista county, proposes bill that will
give $15 q month to all Iowa soldiers,
sailors and marines and nurses who
were in the service during the war.
ans OF tho world war and Mr.. Edison
Iowa has approximately 10000 veter-
has compiled statistics which show that
the average period of service was four
teen months. This would mean fund of
322, 100000 to carry out the provision of
this bill. The proposed Edison law
would provide minimum Of $4,000 and
would pay $l5 for each month or frac-
tion of month Of service from the time
the United States entered the war until
the armistice was signed. Widows and
children Of deceased service men
would receive the same benefits as tho
husband or father would have received

IT CURED MY
DADS COUGH
Cured His Cold. Built Him Up.
Gave Him a Fine Appetite.
HERE IS THE WAY HE DID 1T.

my father had bad cold and
cough. He coughed and coughed
until he had awful pains in his chest
and kept going down until he felt
weak, achy and i'll all over. His
appetite was no good at all. Some
friends of his said, why don't you
take Earle's Hypo-Cod?" so he got
a bottle and it cured his cold in
remarkably short time. He has no
sign of cough now and it has built
him up. l notice he now has fine
appetite. He seems to feel stronger
and has more ENERGY and ambition
and often remarks on how much
good Earle's Hypo-Cod did him. II
is a medicine of wonderful merit, :"
declared Miss Madeline Connell,
1916 G.. St., N. w. Washington, D. c.
To knock out that achy, weak,
headachy, pale, hollow look and
clear the lungs of cough, cold, catar-
rh, bronchial, and catarrhal troubles
come down to the drug store. Get
two bottles of Earle's Hypo-Cod and
a free CSC box of Earle's sos. Take
three of the SOS and a tablespoonful
of Earle's Hypo-Cod and go to bed
early. Keep covered up well and
next morning follow directions on
the bottle. That's all.
Thousands of people instead OF
trying to kill bear" of a cold or
cough with bird shop (pills or dose
of salts) follow this advice and not
only get rid of the present trouble
but fortify their system and ward off
such troubles the balance of the
winter.
Earle's Hypo-Cod is sold here by
Eli T. Reynolds and the leading
druggists in all nearby towns. Price

baby was born in a hospital tent during
q battle. An army blanket swung from
two poles In one corner Of the tent was
the baby's crib during the rest Of that
terrible winter campaign. With the
collapse of the Russian armies after
the Bolshevist revolution the Azgape
tians returned to Armenia for brief
spell and did their best to alleviate
the suffering they found on every hand
But with Turkish price on his head
the father finally made his way with

tell Of conditions and needs in Armenia

Turkey and Persia are more than $780,
600 orphans, helpless little victims of
war, massacre and deportation, and

This soup is supplied by the Near East
Relief now making an appeal to
the American people for sufficient
funds to increase this dole and to pro-
vide these suffering little ones with
clothing and give them an education
that will help them to become self sup.
porting. 1t Is estimated that more
than 100000 in Western Asia will
