A Few Hints on
Keeping a Job

Employers are complaining be-
cause applicants for work come to
them without any kind of satisfac-
tory record of their work in other
positions. When asked how long
they have worked at their last place
of employment the answer in too
many cases is two weeks or two
months. Unless a man is a brick
mason or a carpenter, who must work
by the job, there is no good reason
for such a poor record. No good
business man is going to hire a man
who does not seem to have a record
for steady work. He knows he can
not depend on any kind of worker
Nobody hires fioaters unless there
is nothing else on the market and he
gets rid of them as soon as conditions
permit.
Get record for staying on the
job. When you go to apply for a
job, take a reference along. Stay
on job long enough to get a refer
ence, so you are not afraid to have
your new boss look you up. AL
ready prejudiced whites from the
South have told Northern employ
ers you are unreliable. When you
come up with a two weeks record,
or a two months record on q job,
you are making the white crackers
case good. 1t takes steady work to
produce the worlds goods, and
every good business man must have
that class of workmen. Get a re-
cord for steadiness as well as one
for efficiency.

G. National
Caucus Is Slated
For Windy City
Republicans of Country Select
Western Metropolis to Hold
1924 Session.
(By the Associated Negro press)

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Chicago.-Chicago according to
National Treasurer, the Republican
National Committee. Fred Upham. is
to be the place for the next Repub-
lican National Convention. OF course,
the entire National Committee will
have to vote on the matter in Decem-
ber, but Mr.. Upham says it is Chi
cago again.
Taking the treasurer at his word,
representatives Of President Coolidge,
Senator Hiram Johnson. former Gov.
Lowden, Gov. Pinchot and others,
have swooped down upon the famous
Congress hotel. and made reserva-
tions for the quadrennial big show.
Added to these arrangements,
aforesaid representatives have like
wise gotten busy in preparation for
the establishment of Presidential
headquarters in the same hotel,
where all the heavy work Of pre-con-
vention days is to be handled. All
candidates admit that there will be
widespread activity in the big Middle
West states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan and Missouri in the effort
to get instructed delegations. 1t now
looks like Pennsylvania will have a
bated contest for delegates, much as
some of the leaders of the state may
not like it. But the entrance Of SEN
ator Johnson into the fracas, and the
senator saying that he will carry the
fight for delegates to every state,
makes it imperative for all entries to
make showing.
Edward H. Wright Appointed.
The Illinois state fight goes merrily
on. Gov. Len Small, who is making
a fight for reelection on his record
and good road program, has recently
appointed Edward H. Wright, former
Assistant Corporation Counsel, as one
of the members of the Illinois State
Commerce Commission. This has
made the opponents of Small gasp.
1t is the best plum ever handed to a
colored citizen in the state, and pays
$1,000 year. Mr.. Wright is one of
the outstanding political figures of
Chicago, and has many honors thrust
upon him.
"It is because colored people of Chi
cago are able to get positions of this
kind in city, county and state that
there is not more interest taken in
national politics where there are very,
very few outstanding political posi-
tions offered" said one of the po-
litical leaders.

$4,000 Damage
Is Won Against
C.&O. Railroad
Interstate Passengers Win Over
jim Crow Law in Supreme
Court Rule

Atlantic City-Dr. and Mrs. Ed
ward B. Terry of this city received
substantial checks last week in pay
ment as compromise settlement of
their $4,000 damage suit filed
against the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road in the Supreme court of the
District of Columbia, on charges of
an alleged Illegal application of the
Jim Crow law to them as inter-
state passengers on Aug. Is, 1922.
Enroute from Hinton, w. Va, to
Atlantic City, N. j., via Washington,
on a through train of the 6. & o.,
DR. and Mrs. Terry, not being able to
secure Pullman Accommodations, in
view of the fact that they were inter
state passengers, chose to ride in the
white coach rather than in the board
ed off end of the baggage car pro-
vided for Race passengers. All went
we'll until they reached Charlottesville,
Va, where the Conductor ordered
them to vacate their seats and go in
to the James Raven" DR.. Terry re-
fused on the ground that he and his
wife were interstate passengers.
The conductor thereupon insisted
that the Terrys move, saying that the
car in which they were riding was
reserved for white people on leaving
Charlottesville. The doctor refused.
Then a special officer of the C. e O..
Ry. company boarded the train, ar
rested DR. and Mrs. Terry and ar
ranged them in the police court for
violating the Jim Grow" law of Vir-
ginia.
Before the police justice DIR. Terry
so vehemently defended his claim to
exemption from the local application
of the statute that the court allowed
him to deposit nominal bail for him
self and wife and leave for home with
the understanding that he would en-
gage counsel and lay before the court
judicial authority supporting his con-
tention. Subsequently, however, the
court rejected the authorities sub
mitted by counsel for the Terrys, de-
Gliding the case against them.
Attorney James C. Waters, Jr., of
Washington. D. c., representing the
Terrys, feeling that his clients would
get better hearing before the d. c..
courts than before those of the state
of woodrow Wilson, filed suit. The
company showed fight at first. but
finally backed down, offering a sub
stantial compromise.
The receiving of the checks is a
great moral victory for DIR. and Mrs.
Terry and constitutes warning to
other roads to proceed cautiously in
their application of the nefarious
Jim Grow" laws to Interstate rid
ers. Counsellor Waters, who is also
secretary of the Howard University
law school, is also being congratulat
ed on his service to the Race through
such an adroit handling of a difficuit
case.

SHEET ON WIRES PUTS LINES OUT
 OF COMMISSION
City Plunged in Darkness
 Last Night-All Power I Lines Affected. @

Sleet and heavy. wet snow caused considerable damage to the electric power lines in this vicinity last night between 9:35 and 10 o'clock, which threw the entire city in darkness for several minutes and part of the city in darkness most of the night. The lines of tae Alaska Gastineau Company, Alaska Juneau Mining Com pany and the Alaska Electric Light & Power Company were affected. No serious damage was done except to neau Company near the plant. which was burned considerably
 The entire city was first plunged in darkness at 9:35 o'clock, when the sleet on the wires caused short circuit in number of places ion the Gasiineau Company lines and a second time at 9:55, from the same cause.
 Four lines of the Alaska Electric Light Power Company were torn down by the weight of the slaet anl snow. The brcak-downs occurred about S.30 o'clock. on Gastineau Ave hue, Upper Seward Street, Sixth Stree, anu Calhoun Avenue Lights were put out of commission on all Of Gastineau Avenue. from the top of Franklin and Seventh Streets over Gold Belt Avenue to Main Street and down to the middle of the block between Fifth and Sixth Streets. and over all of Calhoun Avenue and the west part of Gold Belt Avenue.
 Repair to the damage took several hours and these districts were with out lights several hours. The power was off for few minutes about I o'clock this morning, when lines were being switched.

COMMITTEE WILL
 WORK FOR BILL
 TO AID MUSEUM
Policy to Sponsor Measure Meet Monday to Discuss
 Plan of Action.

The appointment by Gov. Scott C. Bone of a legislative committee from the Alaska Historical Association as called for by action of that organ ization, was made public today when it was announced by E. J. White, chairman of the committee, that d meeting would be held next Monday at 3 D. m. to discuss the matter The committee will meet in the office of Karl Theie. who is also a member of the committee.
 Other members are: James Ander- son, William Britt. John Reck, A. |. Rocatti, James Russell and R. J. Som mers. The purpose of the commit tee will be to work for legislation to put the Territorial Library and Museum on a more substantial basis In a letter to Chairman White. given out by him today, Governor Bone said that bill designed to this end has been prepared and will be introduced and sponsored by Repre-. sentative E. M. Policy. The provi- sions of the measure were not given. MT. Policy has been asked to meet with the committee Monday and dis cuss with the members the terms of the bill and a tentative plan of ac- tion.
 Necessity for obtaining official fi- nancial support in maintaining the the last annual report made to the association by Secretary A. P. Kashe- varoff. Up to the present time the Territory has not contributed to either by direct appropriation other than one made last session for the purchase of the celebrated Neuman collection of Eskimo relics and curios. The burden of providing funds from membership fees of the associa- tion has been found to be too heavy, and. as the Attorney General of the United States has ruled that both in- stitutions are purely Territorial, and shut off hope of Federal assistance. torial aid.
 Sentiment among members of the coming session of the Legislature, so far as it has been possible to de- termine, it is said. is apparently ia vorable. Every member approached has been inclined to favor extending financial support while no adverse sentiment has been encountered. Gen. erally. according to reports from Sec retary Kashevaroff. who is covering Westward and Interior towns. public opinion favors an appropriation for the Museum and Library.

frazzling arguments and domestic storms Sharing indeed, is the most constructive remedy for children's quarrels "If you let Johnny have half your candy he will let you take turns riding his coaster, can be very peaceable settlement to q sit uation that might annoy not only a mother, but even the neighbors.
 A certain helpful encouraging at mosphere in a home also avoids quar- rels. If every child is encouraged to rejoice in each members success and to sympathize with defeats, the slings and slurs from petty jealous ies that are almost as uncomfortable as violent quarrels, are avoided
 Equally lubricating for d friction less home is sympathy, so "inexpen- siye' and yet SD soothing to every one. The writer well remembers her first day at school when some thing she did or said made the whole school laugh Relating il al- most in tears to the family. at the noon meal, a younger sister imme- diately spoke up comfortlngly, If they laugh at 'oo,' laugh at 'nm'!' Surely practical sympathy for juye- nile sensitiyeness!
 Children indeed need to be taught not to laugh at each others mis- fortunes, but instead. to help. The Golden Rule, here, is the preventive for many hard feelings and d equar- relsomes atmosphere.
 When children can share their food, their treats and amusements and clothes if necessary, they have very successfully assimilated the Golden Rule. If parents and rela- tives would always take particular pains 10 be impartial. also. this would prevent quarrels, for all children seem ready to accept "in turn" With children justice is the essential ol peaceful work and play.

Teaching children to agree means so much to them all through life that it should really be one of the first principles in home-making. If children are taught to be fair and courteous with one another. they have a valuable equipment for popu- larity and success in the world at large.
 Harmony in the home. too. means happy ideal that will be cherished through many trials. struggles and hardships, an ideal that is an anchor as sustaining as religion
 In many homes. unfortunately. the cne trial of family life. especially for the mother constantly in contact with it, is voiced in the wall "If the children only wouldn't quarrel sol" Then sometimes it is added, But I suppose 1t is natural, and they'll get over it some day,"
 Whether it is natural for children to quarrel daily, really depends on the home training. If it is discoun- tenanced at the very start a good beginning is made. Two little tod dlers will often have their first quar- rel over some plaything that one of them does not want to give up to the other. One will hold on tightly, while the other pleads, scolds or even uses little fistsi Whoever loses them shrieks and yells But even such tots can be taught fair play You have had it for awhile, now let brother, or sister, have a turn!' said firmly whenever there is such a dispute, will soon be respected as a rule, if constantly adhered to.
 Sharing is another appeal that cannot be under-estimated for unset fish happiness all through life Chil dren, once they see the advantages of it, will make many amicable little arrangements themselves over per sonal belongings that avoid nerve

Doeller. New York automobile man, was failure, .is to make a second legal effort to keep the wedding bells from ringing.

Her fathers appeal from this decision prevented her from i'm mediately marrying the man of her own choice.
