Chicago, ILL.,, March 24--The Ma

ton, directing the Home Develop
ment Week, May ! to z, issues the
following announcement:
"It is wei that the Colored people
throughout the country plan to OBJ
serve Home Development Week; at
which time general attention will be
called to the achievements Of our peo-
pie in making homes.
"Public attention has been called
for so long a time to the oppression
and discouragements of the Race,
that it is high time for the public
men, organizations and newspapers
to bring to the attention of the peo-
pie Just what has been attained in
the great field of making homes.
Throughout the country, there
has been more homes purchased, in
the last ten years than in the pre-
ceeding twenty-five years; in the last
five years there has been expended in
Home Development, more than $780,
100000, including furnishings.
There is something permanent in
homes, and those who buy and those
who furnish their home in keeping
with modern ideas may be counted
upon to be good citizens.
"It is hoped that 1923 win be the
banner year in. home DEVELOPMENT,
and all indications point that way. If
there are those who are inclined to
be Indifferent with reference to keep
ing their homes up to a high standard
by painting, furnishing, cleaning the
front and back yards, beautifying
them with flowers, vines and vegeta-
BILE gardens, certainly they will be
inspired to know what others are do
ing in home development.
ministers are urged to preach a
sermon on Home Development. Or
ganizations are urged to demonstrate
to their members the advantage OF
owning a home. Newspapers are
urged to reproduce pictures of the
best homes of their community and
indeed, also, the poorest. by way of
contrast. Good clean homes means
better health; and these facts will

William Pickens
Tries To Clarity
No He'll Theory
BY William Pickens

Our fathers used to say: "a false
report can travel 40 leagues while
the true report is pulling its boots
on" The writer of this editorial said
recently, and incidentally among
other things, that intelligent people
do not believe in material hell, a
material heaven, or universal bodily
resurrection. The reporters of these
words, perhaps to "boil down" (or
to boil over) things, dropped the
word material and the word "bod-
ily," and reported: "Pickens says
no hell, no heaven, no resurrection" ;"
That is just as If we should say:
"There is no golden moon" and some
fellow would report: "Pickens says
there is no moon"
Most Of the Intelligent and all OF
the younger preachers we know, say
also that these things are not mater
ial, but that they are spiritual. So
that we did not regard ourself as
giving >out any new information.
In the last 20 years we have heard
we suppose, thousands Of ministers
use these terms, and none of the in
telligent ones ever spoke Of a fire
and-brimstone hell or golden
streeted heaven, except as figures OF
speech.
People win learn by and by thai
1t is risky to comment on any i'm
portant report, unless we first verify
the exactness Of the report. To leave
out an important qualifying word OF
a proposition, is to change the propo'
sition, is to make another PROPOSE.

Staff Correspondence


Port Au Prince, Haiti, March "a
This city has just experienced the
most destructive fire here In years.
1t started in the Texas Oil refining
building in the heart of the wholesale
and commercial district, and resulted
in considerable damage. 1t is believ-
ed to have been of incendiary origin.
Port au Prince firemen did heroic
work, and had an opportunity for the
first time to test out the modern fire
equipment which was recently pur-
chased. Great crowds watched the
crimson clad firemen as they labored
to quell the leaping flames. An In
vestigation of the cause is now in
progress.
New Minister Appointed
The appointment Of Leon de Jean
as the new minister for Haiti at the
seat of the American Government in
Washington. marks another new step
In the present regime. M. De. Jean
was formerly minister of foreign af-
fairs, and has a splendid grasp of
international affairs and the needs OF
his government.
Contrary to former Haitian minis
ters, who have studiously held them
selves away from the Colored Amer
ican population, 1t Is believed that NJ,
de Jean will seek to cultivate the ac-
quaintance or leading Colored citi-
zens in the states with a view of ad-
equately informing them of the ira
ditions, resources and possibilities OF
this republic.
Leading Haitians have been dis
cussing for some time the possible
attitude of outstanding Colored Am
ericans with reference to econmic CO.
operation. There Is no gainsaying
the fact that both the outstanding
Americans Of color and the outstand-
ing Haitians have never properly un-
derstood each other.
