BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT
,Associated Negro Press,

tAssociated Negro Press)
New York City, Mar. 16-It now
begins to look like Harry Wills and
Jack Dempsey will fight for the heavy
weight championship on next labor
day in the arena made famous by the
Dempsey Carpenter fight of last year.
Wills sensational defeat of the fam
GUS Kid Norfolk has reopened the
question of Dempsey fighting a Negro
and the consensus of sporting and
general opinion that the giant Negro
conqueror of Fred Fulton and other
fistic notables has shown the class
and should be given crack at the
championship. Gov. Edwards has
voiced his approval of the bout and
nothing remains now but the sigma
lures of the named fighters to make
the fight a surety.

1t is not often that a new musical
organization is given the reception on
its initial appearance that was ac-
corded the Harmony Four by the au-
dience at Camphor church last We'd
nesday night. In a program of just
the right length (something that few
of our artists and sponsoring clubs
ever attain) the quartet introduced
new and old numbers in a pleasing
and on the whole, finished style.

Of the ensemble numbers lacked fin
ish and in one or two instances ex-
hibited positive raggedness. However
this may be accounted for partly by
the fact that two of the entertainers
were hoarse, and partly by the fact
that his was he first public concert
of the quartet. The rough edges are
bound to wear off in practice. "The
Soldiers Chorus" and annie Laur-
ie" two harmony numbers, were es-
pecially well rendered, the tone blend
in the latter being almost perfect.
Claude d. Jackson, first tenor,
showed a tendency to fat occasionally
In the quartet work, but his two solos
in spite Of his hoarseness, were up
to his customary high standard. The
baritone solo, "I'm A-Longing Dear
for You." by John Hickman, Jr., was
a notable feature Of the program.
Charles Miller appeared in a humor-
Gus monologue.
With such beginning it should
not be long before 81. Paul possesses

sented Mr.. Froe's name to President
Harding for the position of Recorder
of Deeds. Senator Elkins, his secre-
tary, John w. Fenton, and a number
of others present, joined in extend
ing congratulations and best wishes
to Mr.. Froe.
The next destination was the Re-
corder's office. Chief Deputy Re-
corder, Robert w. Dutton, who was
appointed by the late John C. Dancy,
was master of ceremonies. Accom-
panied by retiring Recorder John F..
Costello, the delegation went to the
District Court building, where Mr.
Froe presented his commission from
President Harding and was sworn
into Office by VIM. Z. Williams, as
sistant clerk of the District Supreme
Court.
Returning to the Recorders office,
the new Recorder was taken to his
private Office, where the entire staff
was introduced to Mr.. Froe by Mr..
Costello, assisted by Mr.. Dutton. The
Recorder of Deeds Offices occupy four
floors of the Century building, op-
posite the Supreme Court building,
and have a staff of SO, a majority
women, and a number of them of
our group. Most of the employees
have been in government service
there for long time.
Farewells and Greetings
Following the introductions, Dep
uty Recorder Dutton, on behalf of
the employees of the department, pre-
sented Mr.. Costello with a NAM
moth, carved solid silver tray. Mr..
Costello was yisibly affected by this
tribute of esteem. and bade all a
cordial farewell.
Then Mrs. NJ. l.. Wright, one Of
the Recorders staff, on behalf of the
employees, delivered a most eloquent
address of welcome to Mr. Froe, and
PiCSNhtCu hlul with d UdShtL
of American Beauty roses.
Mr.. Froe, in his response, struck
a happy chord, when he praised the
efficiency of the work done there, but
deplored the small salaries, and said
one of his missions would be to as
sist in the bettering of the salary
condition. For the present, at least,
according to Mr.. Froe, there will be
no changes in the organization staff,
most of whom are under vicil serv-
ice.
Recorders National Outlook
Mr.. Froe stated that he had come
to Washington to be of service to
the people in any helpful way.
There is no desire on my part
to be national leader; but / do
wish to be a national helper" said
Mr.. Froe.
Continuing, he said: 1--WE are
passing though a serious period and
there is much work to be done. In
doing this work there must be a
spirit of unity.
"The people will find that 1 be-
lieve in outstanding manhood. / be-
lieve we are entitled to justice, and
it shall be my duty to assist in any
way can.
Call on me any time for anything
! am able to do, and l will be glad
to cooperate. l recall with pleasure
the illustrious service as Recorder
performed by Hon. John C. Dancy,
Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson and
others. l am deeply grateful for the
honor that has come to me, and
shall endeavor to conduct the work
with credit to the cause and race
that represent"
Mr.. Froe stated that Mrs. Froe
will come to Washington to live as
soon as her health permits. There
are no children. ..#

WHAT BABSON SAYS

DEADERS of The Courier-Reportel
~ will doubtless be pleased to know
that Roger w. Babson is to be a reg.
ular contributor to this paper.
Among business men Mr.. Babsor
doubtless enjoys a greater following
than any other individual in America
His standing is measured to certain
extent by the fact that he is paid over
81 100000 year for his forecasts
and advice by the keenest executives
and financiers in America.
In keeping with his keenly analytic
al mind, Mr.. Babson has the peculiar
faculty of saying whole lot in
very few words. His statements are
brief, clear and easily understood by
all classes of readers. He discusses
subjects of the utmost Importance to
the whole people and best of all dis
cusses them in an entirely impartial
manner. For instance this week he
discusses the strike the effect it is
producing on business at the present
time and the probable effect after it
has been settled. Next week he will
take up some question of equal inn
portance and interest and so on week
after week his brief and concise state
ments will appear in the columns OF
The Courier-R Reporter.

prices are low they are firm. The
same applies to tin and especially to
copper. Copper is the last metal to
feel the effects of price movements
and copper is sure to sell higher dur
ing this coming year following the
strike settlements. The basic COM
modities which now look weak in the
market are lead, rubber and probably
petroleum. Petroleum is in very in
teresting position. The market is con-
trolled and there never was time,
even during the palmiest Standard
Oil days, when the oil price situation
was so under the absolute control of
few men. On the other hand, there
is a tremendous amount Of oil in
storage and statistically the oil sit
uation is weak. Altho / cannot get
anyone to agree with me, l believe
that oil is at any time liable to break
n price.
"What will this mean to the stock
market? 1t looks to me as if this
would be benefit, especially to the
industrials. The clean up of the
strike situation should help the whole
market. However, any stocks pur-
chased now should be selected with
great discrimination, only after care
full study and consultation. Stats
tics, however, clearly indicate that we
are still in bull market and the
break Of the past few weeks was only
a natural action in a general upward,
movement which will not eliminate
for some months yet"
General business as reflected in the
Babsonchart stands at 114o below nor
NAL, an Improvement of 23o since last
week. This weeks figures marks the
highest point since January 1921.

] stocking up now for fall and winter
trade. Those who have contracts to

well covered. When business is so
dull, as it is at present, it is hard to
believe that a few months can see a
radical change in the situation. Such
is possible, altho price increase may
be more or less Of temporary ma
ture. I say temporary because after
the next squirt in commodity prices,
there will probably be another break
which will make the general price lev
ell even lower than it is at present.
After this next downward movement,
the general trend Of commodity prices
may be downward for some years to
come.
"Some of the basic commodities are
already showing an upward tendency.
Sugar, for example, which has been
such drug on the market during the
past two years, has already begun to
strengthen and people are well JUS
titled in again buying sugar by the
barrel. Linseed oil is firmer. The
demand has greatly improved and the
outlook is very much brighter. pre-
dict further advances for linseed and
should not be surprised to see raw lin
seed oil sell for one dollar or over.
This is the general result of the large
amount of building now in progress
and the consequent demand for paint.
Cotton is still strengthening. The re-
cent estimate published shows that
the 1922 crop will scarcely besuffic-
lent for the worlds needs. Still high
err prices for cotton may be expected.
Steel prices are firm with rising cost

THERE may be good reasons why
= Miles Poindexter should not be re-
turned to the United States senate,
but the fact that the Hearst-owned
Seattle Post-Intelligencer is fighting
him is not one of them. The Courier
Reporter is not yet ready to bow to
the dictatorship of William Randolph
Hearst in political matters in this
state. The fact that Mr.. Hearst, New
York democrat, doesn't want Miles
Poindexter in the U. S. senate is one
reason why the republicans Of Wash
ington should wish to keep him there.

Cave Man Stuff

Cave Man Stuff
DACK near the beginning OF
. ID things, our prehistoric
fore-bears would have persisted
from the earth if they had not
understood the science of read
) ing advertising.
The cavemen didn't know much
about underwear, hair tonic or
monographs, but they did have
to eat. The one who could fol-
low the tracks of the game he
hunted, or read the meaning of
a twisted leaf or broken twig,
was the best off in life.
Then as now, the most consist
ent reader of advertising was
the best dressed, best fed and
most contented.
There has been something OF an
evolution in advertising in the
last few thousand years, but
the principle is just the same.
The consistent reader of the
advertisements is invariably
best Informed on what to eat
and where to get it; what to
wear and how much to pay for
it; what to do and how to do it.
He's up on the most important
things in life. Consequently
he gets most from life.
Turnout the ages, advertising
has done much to make life liv-
able and pleasant. We owe it
much.
Let's make the most of it.
