President Urges Better Schools
and Wages for Solution

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 21.-The
forty-third annual convention of the
National Baptist convention closed
here Saturday after what officials and
delegates declared to be one of the
finest sessions the convention has
ever had. The attendance of dele
gates was large, many ministers hav-
ing embraced the opportunity to
bring their wives and families with
them on this trip to beautiful Cali
fornia and they leave loud in their
praises of the beauty and charm of
Los Angeles, as well as the enter
prise and hospitality of her people.
Business of major proportions was
transacted and the annual report of
President L. K. williams of Chicago,
pictured a march OF Christian prog
ress and constructive effort on behalf
Of the body which was highly inspir-
ing to the assembly.
In his annual address, DR.. Williams
touched, among other vital subjects,
Missionary Endeayors, Home and
Foreign, the Home Mission Board,
better facilities and preachers for the
rural population, the development of
young men for the church, co-opera-
tion with standard Baptist organiza-
tions of the world, Christian Educa-

Directors Hold
Community
Aid Meeting
First Institution of Race to Be
Put on Budget Offer SINGER
est Appreciation.

The director of the Crispus At
tucks Home held their monthly meet
ing at the Home. 469 Collins street,
Tuesday evening. At this meeting
the assistance rendered the Home
through the Community Chest fund
was discussed and the unanimous
thanks of the inmates was received.
No institution in the Northwest is
more deserving of support than the
Crispus Attucks Home. The work ac-
complished by this institution in car
ing for the aged of our group, who
are unable to maintain themselves,
is extremely commendable. Many
improvements have been made in the
past year or two, including a new
heating plant, which was installed
last winter.
Praise Community Chest
I'm helping with the traditional
spirit of the director, it was the will
of all to give every possible iota of
their support toward putting over the
Chest drive. which will be in the near
future. The public is urged by the
directors of Crispus Attucks Home to
heartily cooperate with the commit
tee for the purpose of securing the
quota as established by the Chest
committee. The Home did not fail
to express their appreciation for all
assistance. The work carried on by
the Home could not have been COM
plete.
First on Budget.
The Crispus Attucks Home was the
first institution in st. Paul to be
placed on the Community Chest fund
For the past several years the Home
has received the allotment from the
fund without hesitancy. AS they
were first on the budget Of the race,
the directors and inmates of the
Home feel that no greater time than
now could be used in expounding the
worth of the Community Chest fund.
When more give to this fund, greater
work can be accomplished by that
medium. The Crispus Attucks Home

Lives of Others.

On Monday morning at 10:05 the
Angel Death appeared Mt Ancker hos
pital and summoned home to rest
Louise Cayton Wiley, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs E. d. Wiley, S75 st. An
thony avenue. Just when all hopes
were brighter and life seemed sweet
or this dear girl was called from her
earthly labors at the age of 20 years
to rest for ever in her heavenly
home.
She attended st. James Sunday
school, was in the infant class under
Mrs. Addie Bellesene and graduated
TO the senior class under the super

quite young she was baptized and
Joined Sixth Baptist church at Lake

ton in the public schools of this city.
Took Up Nursing.
After attending Mechanic Arts
high school for three years and hav-
ing always desired to become a nurse
and administer to those who were
unable to help themselves, she en-
rolled at the Old General hospital ip
Kansas City, Mo-, and took up nurse
training. For two years and four
months she studied and worked
faithfully. She would have gradual
ed as a registered nurse in January,
1924.
: Early in April, realizing that her
strength had been overtaxed, she be-
came Ill and was confined to
her home for two weeks, when the
doctor advised her parents to send
her to the hospital.
From the first of May her condition
became worse, but she was ever
cheerful and optimistic. However,
the onslaught of the disease proved
too much and her sufferings came to
an end early Thursday morning.
She leaves to mourn her untimely
passing a father, mother, sister Betty,
grandmother, Mrs. Wiley of Lake
wood, N. j., and other relatives.
With her sweet and sunny disposi-
tion she acquired a large circle of
friends who will miss her greatly.
Brief services were held on Thurs
day afternoon from her late resi-
dence. Following which the remains
were borne to Pilgrim Baptist church,

Coliseum Chosen
For Business
League Exhibit

The second annual exhibition and
style show, to be given by the St.
Paul Negro Business league, will take
place at the Coliseum, Lexington and
University avenues.
The committee in charge selected
this hall after long deliberation of
various places had been investigated
and proved too small to accommodate
the vast throngs who will visit the
exposition.
Last year the enormous crowds
taxed Union hall to its utmost capaci-
ty. Hundreds were turned away un-
able to gain admittance. The Coli
scum is one of the largest and most
spacious halls in the city, conviently
located and accessible to both bus
and car lines.
Many new business houses will ex-
hibit this year and a large number
are engaging space from Minneapolis.
Popular Lady Contest.
The popularity contest which prov
ed to be such a success will be fea-
tured again. The most popular young
ladies in the Twin Cities will receive
valuable prizes, which will be donat-
ed by the league and various firms
st. Paui.will have to get real busy
this year, as the first two prizes
awarded last year, a diamond ring
and gold mesh bag, were captured by
Mill City bellies. Mrs, Morris Gibbs
and Miss Dorothy Sydnor were the
lucky ones. Keen rivalry exists be
tween the contestants OF both cities
and no doubt the race will prove t,
be very exciting this year when the
popular lady is selected.

business Should Not Suffer
Because of Presidents
Death, Leaders Say

New York, Aug. 6-The first shock
.at President Harding's death past
New York, the financial and business
center of the nation, Saturday night
turned to speculation on the effect
the presidents passing is to have Oh
the nations material welfare.
In clubs, hotels and other places
where business was discussed, par
ticular interest conferred on tomor-
rows openings of the various ex-
changes-baromcters, if not always
accurate ones, of business trends. All
the exchanges were closed today in
tribute to the dead president. They
opened for half sessions Sunday
morning for the first trading since
he died.
While all the important financial
and industrial men interviewed ex-
pressed confidence in Calvin Coolidge,
the new president, characte rizing
him as an able man, amply qualified
for the arduous task to which he has
been called, there was some differ
cnce of opinion as to how the sudden

Gary Is Disturbed
Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the
U. S. Steel Corporation, was one of
those who thought that business
would suffer temporarily.
II am terribly disturbed" he said
when first appraised of the presidents
death. president Harding's removal
at this time is a calamity. He had
the confidence and the affection of
the whole people. The business world
will suffer, temporarily"
On the other hand. Charles f..
Mitchell, president of one of the
greatest banks in America-The Ma

change in presidents should be ac-

ripple upon the economic and bus
mess surface"
Another optimist was Thomas w.
