MR.. GEORGE oLlNoER, FOUNDER
OF THE oLlNoER HIGHLAND
ERs, TO BACK UP A slMl-
LAR MOVEMENT AMONG
DENvER's coLoRED
gro t2-YEAR OLD
YOUTHS.

At a meeting called for the parents
and their sons last Saturday evening
at Mr.. Olinger's new building, l0tli
street and Boulder, a new movement
that offers untold advantages for the
mere youths of our race was very
clearly and strongly defined by Mr..
Ollnger
Mr.. Ollnger' left very clearly In the
minds of all those present that the
parents must back up this movement
and get behind their boys at all times
not with their pocketbooks, but win
their moral support and influence. The
finance Of the movement will he taken
care of by Mr.. Olinger himself.
The aim of this organization is to
develop leadership; to teach the hoy to
think quickly and act promptly. He Is
urged to concentrate and to execute
orders or movements accurately. Obe-
dience, promptness, courtesy and neat
ness are insisted upon. The boy ac-
quires courage, manliness, poise, char
acter and forcefulness of action. The
instruction is based upon the military
drill, tactics and ceremonies of the
United States army.
Summing up the program of this
great movement, we find that 1t offers
to our boys military training, develop
ment of leaders, physical training, out
dor activities, educational activities
religious training and additional activ-
tiles with full program TO Interest
the boys of this age.
One of the biggest and most appeal
ing features of this movement to the
boy and his parents should he the
band. Mr. Olinger stated i'm his re
marks that he would equip the boys
with all the instruments needed in the
band, the boys to pay % cents or ID
cents week for their lessons, which
will he given by n competent leader
qualified for this work. Thru the eff
forts of Mr.. Townsend, Il bandmaster
of our own race and city has been Sc
cured in the person of Mr.. Davis,
director of wide experience.
If you are really interested in what
your boy becomes, it is your duty to
know what kind of things are touching
his life. Are you trusting to luck? Do
you do this in your business. Do you
deposit your money in any old bank?
Would you accpet a position and trust
to luck to get your salary?
Your boy is as much business
proposition as your business or your
job Your boy may prove an asset
or he may become Il liability. Just how
much are you really Interested? If
you are interested in this splendid
project, be present with your hoy or
boys at our next meeting with Mr..
Olinger, nj 10th street and Boulder,
May 2S ut s p m. sharp. We need Il
hundred boys and their parents TO put
this over the top. Are you with us,
is our appeal to you.
All boys from to II are eligible
Where will your boy be when the roll
is called?

rrUSIC WEEK in Denver, an event
MI that will long live in the history
AsA of the city, brought together the
peoples of every race and nation at
the city auditorium last Monday night.
The occasion might rightly be termed
n grand melting pot of beauty, reVel
of music and color. 1t was vast
audience that the many representa-
tivos of various races looked out upon,
,,,hon tbe curtnin was drawn back for
the first number In large ana small
groups they appeared upon the stage
as the giant organ pealed forth mel
odv peculiar to the life and tempera-
mont of each nation. There was the
impulsive, eager Italian group III PIC
turesaue scenic garb, the proud ana
ioyial French, the self-confident ana
naughty Scotch, the earnest but very
musical Welch, the affable and happy
Swedish chorus, the Hawaiian, with
his weird, enhancing ukuleie anu
songs. the Japanese in Oriental beauty
and strangenesS of dress, all playeu
their parts well, left lasting impress
sions upon the thousands present. But
when our group came upon the stage
thirty-five voices strong, under the
able leadership of Madame Jessie
Zachery and to the gentle strains OF
Old Black Joe, they were given an
ovation never to be forgotten. Thev
rendered with beauteous ana telllls el-
feet two numbers, viz: steal Away
5 and 81 Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray
and each number was given prolonged
onIouse Never were thirty-five voices
hoard TO better advantage in Denver
If was a triumph that brought fuisome
nraise from everyone present Gov
ernor shoup personally commended
Mrs. Zachery and the chorus for their
}splendid work. Mrs. Gertie n. Ross
presided at the piano and was ably as
sisted bv Professor George Morrison
and his violin Rev. w. II. Thomas
was the. moving spirit that brought
tstbis chorus together, and it was an
effort for which all Denver Negroes
should feel proud.

Pearls and Rupics

Pearl" is thought by some writer's
to come from the Latin ''pirula.
meaning "a little pear" because so
many fine pearls were, pear-shaped.
RUBY" is thought TO have been So
called from "ruber." the Latin for
"red." but II may be that the word
"ruber." meaning red. was derived
from the name of the ruby.

THE FLY, being small

fear-inspiring; however,
as education b e C o m e s

of many the full danger

realized.
Mr.. FLY never wipes his
feet, or knocks at the door
when he comes into the
house. No, he just buzzes
around a garbage can, or
some other equally attrac-

chances, and then sneaks
into the kitchen and begins
to frolic over food with
