keep straight face, all presen4 enjoyed the
joke at Tut s expense He didn'. say, "hav,
something on me- but evidently he did not
treat me considerably as somebody had
treated the staggering stew last Saturday
morning.
In selecting Mrs W. D. Carter as the dele
gate from the Washington Federation OF Col
ored Women's Clubs no mistake was made
end, in my opinion, she will be one Of the
able representative on the floor of the Ma
tional Convention, which will be held in
Tuskeegee early in July. Mrs Carter not
only has the ability, but she has had the
convention experience and she will be
valuable asset to the national organization.
She is vice president of the state organization
and has proved her worth in it's work. In
Seattle she heads the branch Y. w. G.. A..
which seems to be accomplishing much in
the efforts it has undertaken She is the
wife of the Rev w. D. Carter, pastor of the
Mt. Zion Baptist church and in that work
she has been a valuable assistant to her hlls-
band
At funerals the "cuss'' feeling seldom
ever comes over one attending, but l must
admit that | felt very much like saying
udlHH IL last CuHCldy AFTERNOON DIS
funeral procession was leaving for the Gene
tary and l, with face as long as my arm
prepared to follow in it's wake l had Just
started my engine when some one said "you
have flat tire and / rolled out to make
an examination as to it's cause and found
ten-penny nail up to the head in my tire
and inner tube and I had no spare I
silently beat it for home and parked the car
for the night and wondered the balance Of
the evening why damphools would throw
nails in the streets, where not less than 10O-
600 automobiles pass over. A spare now
hangs on my bus and if there is ever an
other funeral which I desire to follow, I'll
try to do so, nail or no nall
In moving from my present location to
2O6 Twenty-ifth avenue North it is with
the view Of laying the foundation for big
ger and a better business, - said George S.
Chatters. "About year ago. " he continued,
''my wife and I started hand laundry in
a small way and we have done so well with
it that we have moved to this location, where
we have the room to broaden out and operate
on business like scale. We plan to do
general laundry business and increase our
help as the business grows. Quite a few men

I have often wondered why colored persons
were not the owners of many laundry estab-
lishments like this throughout the city, |
really believe if fifty or more such establish
ments were begun in various parts OF the
city they would all do well. Every one

knows the most about or seem better adapted
to do and if he did there would be more sue
cess recorded. Here is to hoping that the
new venture will bring to it's propretors sui
ficient amount Of money to make that sec
ton of the city chatter like Chatters.
Tomorrow will be Fourth of july, but it
