U.N.I.A.NEWS
(By George Manning.)

The meeting was addressed by the
Rev. w. A. Jackson, on the subject,
Where is your Train Travelling to?"
The idea conveyed was that too many
of us are on trains whose destiny
we know not and do not take the
trouble to ascertain its destination.
The several roads of general life may
lead to most any destination as far as
we are concerned but we take no no
tice of those small details when we
get aboard, and ride along uncon-
cerned.
"A man is fool to be jealous of a
woman" said Rev. Jackson, because
one women cannot impede the pro-
gress of the race but can greatly i'm
pede his progress thru his own jeal-
ousy" Jealousy is the greatest draw
back our race ever had according to
the speaker, and will continue to be
until the people, wake up to the
faults OF their jealousy, which has
been always a feeling against the
prosperous ones.
The sign which caused Rev. Jack
son to speak this way read as fol-
lows white Help Wanted" which
caused him to think why are there
no signs, 'Colored help wanted'?'
The great lynching problem now be-
fore Congress is also a great labor
problem, because the young Negro OF
the South is the one best fitted for
labor, but he is being driven out of
the South by this evil. AS a result
the southern employer must look out
for means to keep his labor where he
needs it; thus he has seen fit to en-
dorse the Dyer Bill.
According to the speaker it is high
time that our people see the need OF
cooperation in business ventures and
combine their moneys and back their
enterprises to the limit. A certain
instance of note was an occasion
when a prominent business man call
ed a doctor to his bedside, and after
giving the patient thorough exam
ination, the doctor said, "Well your
case is hopeless, you can never get
well by the time you wish to make
the trip" The doctor was immedi-
ately discharged because the patient
said: I want to know how to get
we'll and not what can't do. I must
be able to be at that meeting and
will be there if I have to be carried
there" He consulted another doc
tor and at the specified time was at
the meeting. This example was used
by the speaker to demonstrate the
expression that "It is time to listen
to someone who can tell us how to ac-
complish the desired ends and not
listen to those who say, "It can't be
DONE"
The program was concluded by q
few remarks by X. D. Miller on the
subject, "As a man thinketh so Is he. ,
and a pleasing reading from Dunbar
entitled, BLACK Sampson of Brandy
wine"

SLIGHTLY CLOUDY; CLEARING TOMORROW
by ANTOINETTE DONNELLY

OF all the ills the flesh is heir to or
acquires by unhygienic ways of living,
/ do not believe there is single item
which causes more actual unhappiness
and mental torture than blemishei
complexion. Almost any one can
laugh and be fat; be fearfully skinny
and laugh with her tormentors: lose
few handfuls of hairs and be terri
fed, yet still able to extract n smile
over the remaining "Dnes. But for u
young person whose skin is mprred and
roughened there is nothing but abject
misery.
There are some fortunate persons
with that quality of skin 50 fine grained
that this trouble escapes them entirely.
Few, however. may lay claim to spot =
less reputation so far as blackhcads are
concerned. At one time or another they
had to face the dishguring comedones
and apply few extra measures to make
good their departure.
In treating all three of the most
frequent complexion ills, you may boil
your energy down to an attack upon
those blackheads already imbedded and
on their prevention. Because pimples
and acne are really nothing more or
less than an inflammation of the seba =

problem is as follows
l. | am young girl In my early teens

ot the same age which my parents allow
me TO entertain quite frequently. We
JUST sing and dance and have a nice
time together. There are two OF my
girl friends who are very nice girls, but
some OF my hoy friends do not care for
them. If the boys do not invite the
< rls to come, IS II their place to escort
them home? The boys are very polite
to them and dance with them, but do not
seem TO care to take them home. They
live but u short distance.

teens, who is very polite and gentle
manly in every respect, but who persists
in smoking when walking along the
street with me. Should I permit this?

Unpleasant RecOllectionS

it hurt me to go back and live over

turn back, that ] couldn't go on with
it. Then came my impulsive grasp OF
his arm, the sudden swerve of the car,
and blackness. 1t made me faint to re-
member it.
According to Edith. Norman had
never once dreamed that my friendship
for Herbert might lead me into any
thing desperate.
II tried to make him jealous hun
dreds Of times, and he would only

head about Herbert. Edith. he's per-

Edith went on to tell about the
night she and Norman had returned
from the football game to-fnd Herbert
and myself gone. When 10 O'Clock
came and we hadn't returned, Nor
