and being very interested in the
young people like myself, l think
it would be very good idea for the
people Of Dallas to contribute or to
give a benefit recital twice q year
for encouragement of ColOred school
children. It would be a fine thing
for the uplift of tbs pupils and there
would be strong competition in every
Colored school in the city and the
people would take more interest in
the children's education. The plan
is to give at least two prizes each
term to every class from the first
grade up, and in the High School
two prizes for each subject in each
class and a special prize for the val
edictorian and salutatorian. The night
school also should have two prizes
for each class. / think 1t would be
good idea to send the valedictorian
to some good college, if possible, or
II the parents are not able to do so.
The churches should take active
part in the movement, and if any
child show exceptional talent it
should be cultivated if permissible
to do so. Every large store in town
donates prizes to the white graduates,
why can't the Colored people to the
same. Those of us who did not have
the chance to go to school ought to
help encourage those who are will
ing to go and help build up the race.

A SOFT ANSWER.

Courtesy is cheap but Is an abso
lutte essential in our everyday lives.
Answers TO ordinary questions.
il they are to be given AT all, should
take into account at all tines the
feelings of the persons involved and
the dictates of good breeding.
II is hard to estimate tho added
amount of good feelings which in
dividuals would feel toward each 9TH
er II this rule could but be followed
consistently.
Since time almost immemorial
members of our race have furnished
the bulk OF the labor used ON farms
for cotton chopping and picking.
During the past few years, however,
the larger cities of the South have
so Increased their economic status
that many Of us find II more renumer-
alive to remain in them than TO gn
to the rural districts for the CROP
season.
Whenever one OF US. finds himself
so fortunately situated. he should
realize that his change Of status has
been the result not OF his individual
effort. but that OF the community,
He should realize that II he should
be asked to pick or chop cotton II
should not be considered as anything
other than the query which has been
put to him and his people for many
years--a query which often meant
to them the means Of financing
themselves and hose dependent upon
them for the year. Such questions
should be answered courtesly mot
harshly and In a manner calculated
10 do anything other than convey the
information necessary.
II has only happened that in very
recent years that the steam laundry
business has grown to such proper
tions that 1t could partially supplant
the hand g family laundry. Our
people for years have been the most
skilled hand laundrists of this coun-
try.
Why then should It anger the
housewife, whose husband has been
able, because Of the growth OF eco
nomic opportunities to stop her from
working. when someone asks II she
will do a washing? Why should her
answer be anything but courteous?
There Is certainty nothing in such
a question cour'sously asked, which
should Illicit enything other thar a
courteous refusal.
Too often our sense Of value is
wrong and We are BETRAYED by fall
acious conclusions into a course Of
action which is unworthy OF enlight-
ennd individuals.
There Is no person without sub
stantial income who does not occas-
ionally at least. feel the press of
economic circumstances. Those wo-
men among us who today are re-
Heved of the bur en- OF helping in
the family support should bear this
fact in mind at least to the extent
Of being ordinarily courteous in their
tire. tment Of those VINO may approach
them with offers OF employment Of
various kinds
II one does not choose to do the
kind or class work offered him,
let him, in the name Of common
dacency. refuse 1t courteously

Rule for SHAMPOO

The old rule for a shampoo was

shampooed as often as if needs it,

or longer, while the majority can have

need shampooing much more frequent

How to Make the Most
Delicious Peach Jam
You EUer Tasted
New Certo Process Makes Two-thirds More Jam
from Same Amount of Fruit
Actually Preserves Full FlGDor of Ripe Peaches, Re-
quireS Only One Minutes Boiling and
NeUer Fails to Make Perfect Jam

Home grown peaches are now
plentiful at a low price. sugar is
cheap. and housewives are putting up
peach jam as never before. Best
OF all. the new Certo Process has
revolutionized the making OF peach
jam, because, unlike the old method,
Il uses ripe peaches and actually
preserves real peach flavor. The
taste of peach jam made with Certo
IS absolutely different from any
peach jam made by the old method,
because its flavor is practically the
same as fresh peaches.
With the Certo Process full-ripe
peaches are used-not unripe peach
es 50 necessary by the old method.
The Certo process retains all the rich
flavor Of this ripe fruit because it
requires only one minutes boiling
not the 80 or more minutes required
by the old method, which destroyed
the flavor and made IL difficult TO
distinguish as peach. With Certo the
result Is a far superior fruity flavor
and two-thirds more jam from the
same amount OF fruit, because no
juice is boiled away. It also ban
ishes all guesswork or worry as per-
feet results are certain.
The Certo Process for making
peach jam is very simple: Crush
ripe peaches or slice very fine; meas.

fruit into large preserving kettle
Then add ga hcaping cups (3h
