EXPECTED TO ENTER HERE

Rumors that Alma was to have n
Chinese student this fall have clio
ted friendly interest and curiosity
.mong college people. However, very
title has been heard about when she
vii arrive. During the Summer
conference Of 1921, at Lake Geneva,
Mabel Field and Helen Brien be-
,ame acquainted with the girls sis
er and it was through the combined
,forts Of these two girls that the
7. w. and Y. NJ. c. A. became in
crested. The girls name is Kwong
CHUNG Hsien and she is about TWEEN
years old. 1t is her intention to

eturn to her people in the capacity
f medical missionary.

through her sister, Emily who is at
ending the University Of Iowa, and
Avis Lane, president Of the local Y.
W. Miss Lane states that Emily
,sked that the Y. w. forward her the
money for her passage. When she
vas told that the organization had
rot the money to lend she sent the
7. w. an assortment Of laces to be
sold in order to obtain the passage
money. These laccs are to be offer
d for sale at tea, to be given the
after part Of next week. 1t is the
purpose Of the local organization to
)ay the cost of tuition and board and
Dom, and it was for this fund that

The Food Remittance plan which
proved SO successful in Central and
Eastern Europe IN l92O-l92l has been
a major godsend TO Russia Any per
son or organization may purchase a
Food Remittance for ten dollars and
specify to whom the food shall be de-
livcred in Russia. In many cases Food
Remittanccs have been the means OF
restoring communication between rcla-
tivcs separated for six or eight years by
the war and its resultant migrations.
The magnitude CT this business
flowing from the hearts and purses
'of America to the empty larders Of
Russian homes is almost unbelicv-
able 1t is measured only by the
gratitude OF the families that have
been blessed. From January ! to
'October the Food Remittance De-
partmert OF the American Relief
Administration, y Broadway, New
York City, announced sales totaling
$1,000, so, which conducted a feed
ing program reaching l0,50O,OOO per-
sons each day until the harvest came
in. The A. r. A. will continue the
feeding of 100000 children in Rus
sia in order 70 help wipe out the cf-
fects Of fam'ne's aftermath this win
ater. The Food Remittance deliveries
will be continued TO aid the many
sadult sufferers. Gifts 10 individuals
'or general relief through these re-
m'ttances will be received at the New
York headquarters.

The quota Of each of the local organ
zations was $3.50. Although the
men oversubscrbed, they have been
somewhat dilatory about the pay
ment of their pledges. The girls,
on the other hand have paid their
quota in full. Any unpaid money will
be received either by Avis Lane or
Ellen Lamar, and II is hoped that
when the Chinese girl enters .ncxt
semester, all the money viii be turned

Woman Voter Scores Brutality of
Citizens.

Since Brookhaven women have be-
come citizens it may be expected that
delinquencies in our city government
and among those representing it.
whether officials or just plain citi-
zens, will be noted as has not been
the case heretofore.
A recent incident of our commun-
ity life is here noted and we hope
city officials and Mems Bible Glasses
will take especial note of it. They
should be particularly interested in
this particular incident"
1t occurred as follows, it is stated.
The other day small and
feeble-minded little pickaninny was
employed in the yard of a resident.
A little white girl appeared on the
scene and turned the hose on the
niger" He picked up missile Of
some sort and threw it at the white
child making slight scratch on her
face. The little girl reported to her
parents something of the matter,
when the father,a city employe, be-
came angry. got into car, found
the little niger, brought, him back
to the scene of his crime(?) and
While a prominent Bible Glass man
and citizen held him down, the irate
father applied the lash. Forty-five
blows were struck. Bleeding and
almost nude the child was sent home
on instruction Of a prominent mem
Der of the police force, who witness
ed the maltreatment of the helpless
child victim of the superior strength
of two white men in the shadow Of
the city hall. This black child is
motherless and has been reared by
his grandmother, a respectable and
intelligent negro woman who has
done work in our homes for forty
years.
If any of you women want to
know who to vote for in the next
election, ask first who were the three
principal actors in the brutal and un-
reasonable attack on the half-wit-
ted child, whose tender years should
have plead for him even had he been
possessed of intelligence.
I want to say in closing that had
the boy been given moderate punish
ment, this article would never have
been written.

ARE YOU STANDING BY YOUR
CoL0Rsg

Sometimes here - even in Brook
haven with its community spirit, fell
lowship and sympathetic interest
sometimes we just suspect that some
men and women are not always quite
as loyal as they might be to their
organizations and in its last analysis
to their town, to their colors, SO
to speak.
This is just a matter Of dim sur
mise however, now and then. But
even now-or then-the cold fact Of
the faint suspicion causes discom-
future and some of our Vaunted pa
triotic pride and prowess run to COW
er.
But-behold! The other day. scam
ming the able columns of the Colum-
bus Commercial Dispatch we ran
across the company that misery is
said to love. Up there, in that sta
tely and historic seat of the M. S. c.
W., where the papers have N. e. A.
service, and where the Chamber of
Commerce is an institution whose
name is challenge for progress and
forward movement, the c. of c. un-
dertook to boost a Northeast Missis-
sippi Booster Special Train through
the middle west. The c. of c. that
represents the community launched
the enterprise for leadership and dis
tinction in modern activity and prog
ress, with full approval Of all the
rest.
1t required 125' people to insure
the train. 100 reservations were
signed UP to the hour the Dispatch
went to press.
That looks good But listen only
6 were from Columbus and Lowndes
County-s4 were from outside terri
tory.
Wonder If Brookhaven ever will
do anything like that!

please look after the school child
ren's defects before they are started
back to school this fall. Don't ne
glect their eyes, decayed teeth, and
badly diseased tonsils and adenoids,
all these defects handicap the child's
physical development and is draw
back to the child in his school work.
Remember parents, you are re-
sponsible for the future. health Of
your boy or girl - so give him his
birthright-GoOD HEALTH. We
are not only thinking of these boys
and girls as school children Of today
but we are preparing them to take
their parents place in this business
world of ours, for within the next
ten or FIFTEEN years our boys and
girls of today will be grown men
and women and the grown folks Of
today must give way to them and let
them take our places, and have their
day. Remember, the greatest thing
in the world that you can give your
boy and girl is good Health, and a
good education-you owe it to your
self as well as your child to see that
he gets both as far as it lies in your
power.

For the first time in any country
Roman Catholic sisters are to start
out from Toronto next month wear
ing no distinctive dress. but attired
exactly as are women among whom
they are to labor.
This innovation is made by a new
order, the Sisters Of Service. and the
plain dress is said to be adopted to
save expense and to meet other wo-
men more nearly on equal terms.
The first sisters to go will number
twenty. and the start will be made

they desire to lay foundations for
social and educational work which
women alone can do for women.
