ADJUSTMENTS
By EsTELLE BETHEA HALE

While in public building the other day, I passed near two negroes pouring over an old motion picture magazine. One of these natural burnt cork artists was busi1y turning over the pages with an active fore thumb. Eagerly watch ing the manipulation. the other liste led to the rather poverty-stricken criti- cisms of the manipulator. Here they are: ''Dis done been," then another page, Oats done been." then This yere ain't been." etc.
 I couldn't help wondering what a position I would be in were this he only impression I could gather from the piles of literature on the pictures or the pictures themselves Still. it did furnish me with the bright idea that if I ever do get really and truly hard up for something to say. and there are some pictures-well, there's no dse being critical here. but if that ever does happen, I'll just say, dis yere is being!p

 For many seasons "Lasses" has been a chief entertainer with all the first class minstrel companies that have toured this country and his many ad- mirers win be more than pleased to learn that now he has become d pro- Gucer on his own account and is at the head of his own company. Not only does he occupy one of the ends himself and appears in the "olio," but he eN- excises supervision over the whole per formance. He alone is responsible, having not only produced but has written many of the songs and all the comedy scenes
 While 'Lasses" is a host in him. self as all lovers of minstrelsy wilt admit. he does not depend on his own efforts alone to give full evening S entertainment, but has surrounded himself with galaxy of burnt cork artists that is of superlative worth.

For the Good of
 the Community

THERE seems to be prospect of tidying up South Twentieth street That is good.
 When attention was called to the ugly and dangerous holes in the asphalt DOT tion of that thoroughfare between Ave- nues B and G, the other day, 1t was not with a view of roasting" anyone, but of calling attention to a condition that exists with the view that the servants of the peo- pie would take cognizance and provide the small sum necessary to remove these pitfalls.
 It was presumed that tn. servants of the people would act. Not act, however, like unto the picture which Hogarth drew of dying man, in whose ante-room the learned physicians instead of administer ing remedial doses, were engaged in heated discussion as to what remedy might be the best.
 The county board of revenue has adopted resolution empowering it's president, it's engineer and another mem- Der to confer with the city engineer to place Twentieth street in repair at cost not exceeding S2,000." The work is to be done under supervision of the city en-, gineer and the county will reimburse the city.
 The same committee is to 'try to agree with the city on the route of the north and south highway" For the present the county board seems willing to care for Twentieth street pending ultimate de- cision between that street and Twenty first. x
 This seems to provide a set of circum- stances enabling the tidying up of the as- phalt portion of South Twentieth. Two sets of high officials are in touch with one another with regard to permanent loca- tion of the north and south highway l through the city and this touch will enable the repairs, the cost to be placed where it | should following the proposed agree-i ment.
 It is entirely feasible for public officials to attend to little things like this without standing apart discussing the question of . jurisdiction. s
 The public sees the South Twentieth danger holes. It IS more interested in them than in questions of jurisdiction. It presumes that it's servants live in that de- gree of harmony which will enable them to apply remedies to the sick patient first with all other matters subordinate <
 Suppose an automobile traversing South Twentieth broke an axle while running across one of these danger holes during the rain when they were decep- lively filled with water and several occu- pants of the car were thrown out and in jured, some money would have to come out of the public purse somewhere to pay for it.
 Pending uncertainty as to whether Twenty-irst street or South Twentieth was the north and south highway accord ing to interpretation of the two actions of the board of revenue, both city and coun- ty would be sued and two sets of lawyers would have to conduct the defense and the energies of city and county would
