Jones, correspondins secretary. and Phil Green. treasurer Announcement was made that the or ganization will be open to any reput- able coiored man in the community who has business aspirations or in interested in the advancement of the race along commercial lines.

marbles with a boy he had smuggled into the studio from the street.
 As a matter of fact, Pat Moore does not take himself quite so ser iously as he would like people to think. What he says about his long experience as an actor, however, is perfectly true. He has actually been prominent on the screen since he was three years old, and he is six now. If prenatal experience counts, he can claim more than a century of it, for his mother, Norah Moore, is an actress and her m9ther and grand mother and great-grandmother were actresses before her.
 Born in Ireland, Norah Moore be- came leading lady of the New Lon don Gaiety Theater, noted for its beauties. She was the youngest lead the Gaiety ever had, George Ed wardes himself having picked her. The operetta, "The Country Girl, '' was written for her, and she played the role of Nan in it. Her mother was Alice Knowles, an opera singer; her grandmother and greatgrand- mother were both named Judith Beard. and were we'll known on the English operatic stage, both having appeared at royal command perform ances in Buckingham Palace.
 Pats father, Tom Moore, is a champion swimmer, holding two world record medals aud the King Edward medal.
 Pat himself inherits both the ma ternaI and paternal qualities. He rides, swims, and takes cross-country runs, and he takes great pride in thnsn accnn1r.IisL1nnr-ts as moving

''The Queen of Sheba," has proven the latest kid" actor to score a hit on Broadway. Hespow looks back upon long years ofNide and varied experience as an actor and declares that his present role suits him better than all the rest.
 q know just what you want" he told the interviewer the day after he made his big hit. You want a nice story about a screen prodigy, Pat Moore, the kid actor That doesn't suit me at all. I'm no kid actor, I'm a professional. Acting, let me tell you, is a serious business"
 He had recently discovered that ty prodigious stretching he could sit on an armchair and make his toes reach the floor, and he was making the most of this accomplishment by way of enhancing his dignity.
 "The Queen of Sheba," he re- marked, "is a mighty good show. might say I regard it as an eXcep- tionally good show, and I am proud indeed to be associated with Mir. Ed wards. the director, Miss Blythe and the rest of them. It gives me great pleasure-great pleasure-say, had learned them all off by heart, and now I can't remember it.

Little Stories
 of the TOWn
COULDN'T FOOL SON

As a means of enjoying their sum- mer vacation, Frederick, aged eight his brother George. aged three and a half, and several of their play mates staged miniature one ring circus, with clowns, menagerie and huge street parade. In prepar- ing for the big show, the boys were assisted by their mothers who made the clown suits and other costumes. F'reGerick's mother used a lip stick. rouge, an eye brow pencil and pow der in making up the clowns. George was one of the clowns and was put through the process of being made up'' for the show.
 Several days afterward, Frederick's mother was getting ready to go up town and while she was using some of the same materials she had used in making up the clowns, her youngest son, George, came into the room.
 "Oh, Fwedwick,' he shouted in shrill voice, ''come on and see mom, she's fixing herself up like clown"
 BLAME THE CARBUREToR
 Two peace officers in the county, were discussing the merits of auto mobiles one day. One of the officers was wondering why the engine in one make of car heated and the en- zine in another make of car, the same size, did not heat.
 That's easy" said the other of ficer, 'one of the cars has a car buretor and the other hasn't. A car buretor always makes car heat"
 So that's the reason" said the first officer.
 A few days later some of his fel- low officers overheard him discuss ing the merits of automobiles with another man. Tell you what" he said, that blank make of car is a peach. The engine doesn't heat a bit, because it has no carburetor.'
 TOOK NO CHANGES
 Thieves one night broke into a small grocery store in the west side of town and got away with several dollars worth of goods. The matter was reported to the police, who in- vestigated. The next night, a call from the wife of the owner of the store came into the police station for a. couple of officers. She said two men were prowling about the place and thought maybe they had re- turned to get something they had forgotten the night before.
 Two police officers were sent to the place. The owner of the store lived next door and the officers in stead of going to his home, went around the store to see if anyone was inside the place. Not seeing anyone | they approached the back door of the owners home and were engaged in talking to the owners wife when the owners mother-in-law came from the front of the house to the back door with a revolver in her hand. Before either of the police officers could say a word, the woman fired the revolver directly at them. The officers lost no time in seeking shelt- CT on each side of the house. The woman fired a couple of more shots in the air before her daughter suc- ! ceeded in stopping her. Neither ot | the officers were struck, but they are certain if thieves visit the store again, the motherinlaw will use | better aim.

CENTENARY FOR INDIANS

Indians and officials Of the i've civilized tribes, which include nearly a third of the Indians of the United States. will play leading part in the American Indian centenary to be held this summer at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.
 An emissary from Milwaukee and an agent of the Indian tribes of the North, preparing tentative plans for the centenary, have been in consult ation with officers and chiefs of the tribes in the South and West regard ing the exhibition to be staged by visiting Indians that will resemble a worlds fair.
 A pageant, several Indian operas with native performers, an exhibition of Indian art and industry and simi- lar entertainment features have been arranged under preliminary plans an- nounced by I. L. Hinrod, business manager of the tribes. Every tribe in North America will be represented among the thousand Indians plan ming to take part in the centenary. Mir. Hinrod said.
 MT. Hinrod will visit Mexico and consult with President Obregon rela- tive to Mexican Indians partaking in the festivities.
 The centenary will cover a months time, according to plans. August 10 to September 10 are the dates that have been tentatively agreed upon. From the Milwaukee Sentinel
 STREET CROSSINGS IN SCARLET
 The employment of red bands to indicate street crossings, the advan- tages of which were demonstrated in recent experiments, is still under discussion An early proposal for painting the crossings with red lead has, moreover, been abandoned be- cause of the insufficient wearing qualities of the mixture, and the mu- nicipal administration has ordered red sandstone for crossings in Alsace which will provide durable safety zones showing where pedestrians may venture without risk. It is sug- gested that it would be advisable to follow the example of America in drawing up strict regulations which would make the drivers of vehicles responsible in all cases for accidents occurring on the red band.-Le Petit Parisien.
