COLORED POLICEWOMEN

" HE POLICE departments of many
American cities are now employ
a ing policewomen. One of the
pioneers in the woman police move
ment is Washington, ID. C. This city
has at present twenty pOlicewomen
with their own woman's bureau di-
rected by woman lieutenant. Two
of the twenty policewomen in Wash
ington are colored women, and into
their hands for investigation come all
cases of first offense among colored
women seventeen years or over, and
those of all colored girls under seven
teen, whether these girls are law
breakers or merely destitute and de-
pendent. Both of these policewomen
bring to their work wide social eX-
perience, one having served overseas
as Y. NJ. G. A. worker during the
world war; and the other, graduate
of Western university, having been
identified with representative social
agencies in New York.
everything lHulcutes that hiteii6ehe
colored people of Washington are
turning interested eyes upon the child
of the alley and gutter, realizing that
they cannot afford to allow the ne
elected children to be sacrificed, for
they and not the fortunate few will
make up the rank and file of future
Negro citizenry. 1t is hoped that this
movement will spread and that cities
not having colored policewomen will
ask for them. The peace, order and

Expenditure of
Loan Under
Our Supervision

Washington, D. C.-While no official
statement has been made concerning
the details of the agreement accom-
panying the loan of $5,000,000 to Lii
IBERIA, the understanding has been that
this government would have supervi-
sion over the expenditure of the loan
and measures for amortization.
British financial interests for long
time have been offering Liberia more
liberal terms for a similar loan. One
reason for the recent trip of President
King of Liberia to the United States
was to attempt to soften our terms.

- USKEGEE Institute, Alabama,
March 14th.-Honorable New
ton D. Baker, former secretary
of war, in a letter to DR.. Rob-
ert r. Motion, principal of Tuskegee
Institute, says: "If one looks back
twenty-five years, he can not fail to
realize that the situation of the Ne
gro in the United States is immeas-
urably better than it was, 1 doubt
whether any single factor has contrib
uted so much to the better situation
as did the life work, example and
teaching of Booker Washington"
Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,
assistant secretary of the navy, in
commenting upon the unveiling of the
memorial, says of Booker 7. Washing
ton that "he was really a great man
because he combined practical achieve
ment with idealism."
Honorable Josephus Daniels, form
er secretary of the navy, is sure that
the people of the whole country of
all creeds and races will be interested
in the unveiling of the statue to
Booker 7. Washington. His career IL
lustrates the possibilities open to the
men of his race in the South.
Booker 7. Washington looked for de-
velopment for his race from friendly
relations among the white people,
among whom they dwelt and from
whom he always secured cooperation.
His statue will, therefore, stand for
better understanding between the
races and better advantages for his
own race
the Atlanta Constitution, says: Il do
not hesitate to say that Booker Wash
ington stands pre-eminent as having
rendered the most conspicuous serv-
only in improving the condition of the
race, but in bringing about such an
understanding between the two races
as is essential to the welfare of both"
The memorial, which costs about
$25,000, and is the gift of the colored
people to America, represents individ-
ual contributions from more than 50,-
600 colored people. This devotion, on
the part of the colored people them
selves to the ideals for which Booker
II. Washington stood, is also shown in
the comment of Ray Stannard Baker,
who says: wherever in the South,
l found a prosperous Negro enter
prise, a thriving business place, good
home there / was almost sure to find
Booker L. Washington's picture over
the fireplace or a little framed
motto expressing his gospel of work
and service"

Female Negro Labor
Efficient as White

Washington, d. C.-Negro women in
industry have no faults which are not
common to other labor, according to q
survey by the Women's Bureau of the
Department of Labor, the results of
which were announced Monday, March
9TH.
OF sixty-three managers who re-
ported ON the subject of punctuallty,
the announcement states that fifty
four found no difference in the pune
tuality of white women employees and
Negroes. Many said Negro women
caused no greater loss of material in
the processes of production. The ma
jority considered the labor turnover
for the two races about equal.
Methods of employment as well as
working conditions were also investi-
gated" said the announcement, land it
was found that in some establishments
Negro women are working side by side
with white women and their work is
quite satisfactory. But in most in
stances Negro women are separated
from other working groups, and are
very apt to be assigned to the most un-
pleasant work in the most uncomfort-
able surroundings"
The wage situation is declared d Sc
rious one for the Negro women because
she is generally employed on casual
and unstandardized work. Her yearly
income often is reduced by the irregu-
| larity of work.
The survey was made in $50 manu-
featuring establishments employing
| II 600 Negro women.
