DOCTRINE OF RACE HA-

Condemnation of advice urging
southern Negroes to organize in shops
is expressed by Rev. r. d. Stinson
Negro principal of the Atlanta Nor
NAL and Industrial school, who de-
clares 1t to be his belief that such a
step would be prejudicial to the best
interests of his race. He said he believ-
ed the best interests of the Negro
race to lie in cooperation with white
peole and avoidance of friction such
as would arise from the proposed or
ganization.

morally and otherwise to enter into
things so far-reaching. Tho black
people and avoidance of friction such
be overestiInated, nor must they over
estimate themselves.
"He is fairly we'll satisfied, and
why should he be drawn into mat
ters maybe two hundred and fifty
years ahead of him? 1 cannot believe
that there is an appreciable number
of thoughtful an tactful people in
either race who would advise him to
pursue a course that would hinder
the great masses of his race at this
time. The Negro has taken the wages
he received. He has trusted those with
whom he lived. He has made the
best of his opportunities,

DURANT LET'S BIC
 MOTOR CONTRACT

NEW YORK, Nov. 12-(SpeciaD Reports that Durant Motors, Inc, had closed large contract with Con- tinental Motors were confirmed by w.. c. Durant today in an announce ment to the effect that all of the motors for the Durant four cylinder car, supplying the plants at Long Is- land City; Lansing, Mich, Oakland, Cal; and Toronto, Ont, would be made by the Continental company.
 The contract just closed provides for a minimum of 100000 motors andi involves, it is understood, between SIP, ,00O,0 and s15.000,000. The mo- tors are to be built according to speci- fications of Durant engineers.
 This is believed to be the largest single transaction in automobile parts ever negotiated.
 An interesting side-light in connec- ton with this contract which indi- cates the degree of confidence existing among big business men, is brought out in an interview given by Presi- dent Ross w. Judson of Continental Motors in which he states that upon Mir. Durant's assurance last April, when an order for a sample of motor was placed, that a mutually satis- factory contract would eventually be signed, and upon MT. Durant's verbal assurance only, Continental Motors invested in tools and special equip ment necessary to appellate upwards of s700. 100000

Even the simple pleasures of visiting on the porches of his friends becomes matter of concern to the fat man. Instead of gracefully sprawling into the nearest chair with that 1ithesome abandon so popular with our best movie men, he must needs inspect the piece of furniture offered hlm, with a view of determining the exact amount of stress and strain it will
 stand. ] And where it comes to the matter of automobiles. he has just enc course open to him. Even if. in his heart of hearts, he hopes for one of those sporty cars with speedy, graceful lines and class radiating from every line, he knows that it is not for him. How many times he has
 looked longingly at such cars dis
 played in the dealers windows! Once in an unguarded moment he went so
 far as to go in and inspect one. At
 the. urgent invitation of the engaging
 salesman he squeezed in behind the
 wheel. Never would he try it again.
 He still blushes at the scene created
 by three able bodied men trying to
 pry him out from behind that wheel.
 So, up to now, the fat man has been
 forced to drive the sedate family
 touring car with it's almost upright
 wheel. It was the only kind or model
 suited to his ample proportions. But
 someone back at the Hudson factory
 must be fat; in fact, he must be of those classic lines made historic by the writings of Irwin Cobb. For the new Hudson speedster makes a
 special appeal to the man with the
 generous front. One of the innova- tions on this new model, just placed on exhibition in the salesrooms of the Harold l.. Arnold establishment. is an adjustable steering post, and this ad- | justment is positive in its efficiency. For the debutante of willowy slender ness or for the man who has lived l too well, if not wisely, the new Hud- son speedster offers complete driving comfort. Already it has found its way among those of full weight, and 1 if it would not be considered as too personal, the number of cars sold tc | these gentlemen, together with their l combined weight would be given | However, the narrowing details are g | matter of record in the secret files of the Hudson organization.

CATERS TO THE LAZY

"A breakfast in bed" tray service for the accommodation of members of the theatrical profession and other habitually late risers is the latest idea in New York restaurant keeping. It's progenitor is Evelyn Nesbit-for- merly Mrs. Harry Thaw-whose role in a famous real life drama of a gen. eration ago is still remembered, and who. having been a chorus girl, vau- deville headliner and screen star her. self. is in a position to realize the ex- tent to which a tray service of this kind would be likely to appeal to the profession"
 Miss Nesbit is now conducting an eating place on the upper edge of the metropolitan theatrical district. She hasn't started her outside tray serv- ice yet, but she is preparing to do so soon and Is confident that 1t Is going to be a successful feature. owing to the fact that within a stones throw of her establishment are hundreds of apartments and boarding houses oc- cupied by chorus girls and greater luminaries of the footlight world who hate to get up in the morning., and would rather go without eating than overcome that prejudice.
 When she started her restaurant enterprise a few months ago Miss Nesbit discovered that while her dainty luncheons. at s1 up. and her dinners, at s2, drew many patrons, the breakfast business was conspic- ous by its absence. She found the answer in the idiosyncrasies and manner of living of the people of the neiehborhood It was this discovery which brought about the breakfast in bed" service idea.-From New York Letter to the Retail Ledger, Philadelphia.

Even in the matter of his pleasures, he is condemned to mediocrity on account of his weight.

coLLIpED WITH AN ALLIGATOR

To dive into a pool and unexpect- edly strike an alligator with your head sounds as if it might be dan perous. In most cases doubtless it would be, but that is precisely what an carly settler of Texas did. and he escaped unhurt.
 Deciding to take a swim one day, he backed off a few steps and made a running dive that sent him clear across the narrow bayou. An alliga- tor about 12 feet long was lying in the rushes on the opposite side, wait ing for anything edible that might come his way. Well, the Texan went his way as if he had been thrown from a catapult and struck him fair and hard in the side with his head. Probably the alligator thought he was some formidable enemy. for with a rush that made the water foam he retreated down the bayou. The Texan meanwhile 'cut blue streak for his own side Of the stream.- Youths Companion.
