Dry Cleaning of garments is impor-
tant at this time of the season when
gloves, dresses, blouses and skirts
which cannot be washed show soil and
dust, Gasoline is the best dry cleaning
agent and high test gasoline, which
leaves no dirt when poured from an
earthen dish, should always be used
for the work. If single spots are to
be removed place a thick, soft pad
underneath and rub the garment from
the outside to the center, using P
cloth of similar material and color
for the cleansing.
When dipping the whole garment,
use enough gasoline to cover the en-
tire material and have additional gas
oline for thorough rinsing. Dry soap
shavings add to the ease with which
the clothes are cleaned. Warm gaso-
line does better work than cold; to
warm it place the gasoline in a bowl
which can be placed I'm a kettle of
warm water, but of course do not get
the cleaner near a flame. Brush soil
ed places while material is in the first
cleaning; rinse, then squeeze out gas
oline and hang garment outdoors to
dry. The gasoline odor is removed by
pressing the cloth yer which a damp
cloth is placed.

whipped or ice cream, is a dainty des

To Restrict Negroes
to Certain Districts

st. Louis, June 19.-The real estate
men of this city have come to an
agreement seeking to create restricted
zones in the city where colored people
cannot buy. While such movement
is damnable, it at the same time shows
the ignorance of those men in the
money grabbing characteristics OF
some of their kind who are in the real
estate game as well as furnishing an
insight into their short-sightedness in
fostering a movement which will stim-
ulate the amount of sales colored firms
will be able to put over because col
ored people will not so readily seek
such firms as restrict to handle their
business. 1t is safe bet the mem-
bers of the exchange will in short
time be cutting each others throats
for Il business which they had hoped
the Negro would be ignorant enough to
still give them. Negroes in TINS city
are spending their money for what
they want and they recognize as re-
stricted purchasing power in Uncle
Sans currency.

Barber So Years;
Harding Sends
Tribute to Funeral

Washington, D. c., June 15.-A fa-
miliar face and an old landmark in
the United States Senate barber shop
passed away last week in the person
of John L. Hickman, who had been a
tonsorial artist in the shop just men
toned for fifty-eight years. Mr.. Hick-
man had been great favorite of SEN
ators for more than a half century,
and one of the floral pieces at his
funeral was from President Harding,
who came to know the deceased when
he was in the U. S. Senate.
Funeral services were held at st.
Luke's P. e. Church, Rev. Brown, rec
tor officiating. The Masons, Odd Fell
lows and the Oldest Inhabitants AS
sociation, to all of which the dead
man belonged, also held appropriate
ceremonies.
Mr.. Hickman is survived by a
daughter, sister and several
nephews and nieces.

COlOred Girl
Loses Fight to
Enter Art School

Paris. June 13-According to n
statement appearing in the morning
papers, American tourists in Paris
have brought sufficient influence to
bear to prevent Miss Augusta Savage,
the ambitious American Negro scul-
toress, from being admitted to the
Fountainebleau art school. The state
ment of the principal of the school,
that the action of the committee re-
fusing the American Negro woman
was due entirely to respect for the
feelings and wishes of the American
students"
NJ. Mamrosch, who is one of the
chief sponsors of Fountainebleau
schools of art and music and archi-
lecture, said he felt reluctant to dis
cuss the matter, because it relates to
which is his department. But it
should be said that the French pro-
fessors are not prejudiced against Ne
gro students. ''It also should be
known that Fountebleau school is
based on the strictest examination of
character and type of students. Ger
tificates of character are required by
each student enrolling in the So
called Bohemian school. There was
nothing against Miss Savage's char
acter but the action was taken simp-
ly because the committee feared that
the admission of Miss Savage would
offend American students of the
school, and following the vigorous
protest they made supplemented by
hundreds of distinguished Americans,
now visiting in Paris"

Prof. Carver Given
Spingarn Medal for
1922 by Committee

The Spingarn medal for 1923 has
been awarded to Prof. George w. Car
yer, the noted agriculturist of Tuske-
gee Institute, Ala, according to an
nouncement made public by the COM
mittee of award on Wednesday,
June 13.
Prof. Carver's discovery of various
methods of utilizing the lowly peanut
and the potato in more than a hun
dred different forms adapted not only
for food uses. but as commercial pro-
ducts, has made him, for years, the
most outstanding figure in the world
of agricultural science. He has been
called upon to deliver lectures on
agriculture, not only to colored groups,
but to many of the most distinguished
white organizations and schools in the
South.

ColOred Class Orator
Causes An UprOar
in School
At Pennsgrove; Class Strikes
Will Hold Separate Com
mencement; Principal
Says They Should

Pennsgrove, June 19.-The people of
Pennsgrove are in a dilemma because
the principal of the school, Mr.. Mer-
rtt Jenkins, selected a colored boy,
Douglass Shorts, as a class orator and
placed him on the program as third
speaker.
The principal says that the New Jer-
sey school law prevents him from dis
eliminating in school activities. But
the graduating class and their parents
seem to care very little what the law
says. They just don't want a Negro
class orator and that settles 1t so far
as they are concerned.
The Negro boy was appointed by Mr..
Jenkins because of his scholastic at
tainments. The class claims that it
doesn't make any difference what the
boys ability is, he shouldn't be an
orator at their commencement. The
whole class has baked at the very idea
of colored boy being placed ahead
of white, and, backed by their parents,
they will hold their own exercises in
spite of the decision of the principal.
OF course, the black boy will be ex-
cluded from these exercises.

Blind Man Has
Fortune in Violin

Baltimore, Md, June 15.-What is
believed to be Il genuine Stradivarius
violin, made by the most famous of
violin makers in 1923, was discovered
here recently. 1t is owned by an aged
blind man, Henry Campbell, who had
it for thirteen years without knowing
it's value.
To Henry Campbell it was just an
"extry fine" fiddle, which he got in
New York many years back. To Will
liam Hill, it was even less than that,
for Hill, who is accused of stealing
the violin, pawned it for $1.75, ac-
cordng to southern district police.
Campbell told police today that he
kept trunk containing the violin,
S24, and some clothing at Hills home.
Sunday, he said, he discovered that
the trunk had been opened and rifled.
Police arrested Hill, who said he had
pawned the violin. 1t was recovered
from pawn shop by patrolmen.
Inside the instrument was a label
reading "Antonius Stradivarius, Gre
Faciebat, Ammo 1928" The
label was printed except for the "23,"
which was written in ink. This is the
manner in which the genuine Stradi-
varius violins are marked, according
to experts. There was also the Stra-
divarius insignia, small clover with
the letters, "a. S. below it.
Campbell, who identified the violin
as his, says he traded a new instru-
ment for it with a boy in New York
thirteen years ago.

|MOrland's Days
Close i'm ''Y" Work

Cincinnati, Ohio, June 15.-Definite
announcement has been made from
the international Y. Nj. C. A. head
quarters at New York that DIR. j. E.
Moorland, the senior secretary of the
colored mems department on the in
ternational committee, will retire this
year. This announcement is accord
ing to the provision of the Y. Nj. Z.
A. retirement fund.- and 1t is said that
DIR. Moorland will be the first of our
race to have reached this point, as
he will attain to the age of 60 years,
as provided in the retirement fund
regulations.
DIR. Moorland is one of the few MO
neers now living in projecting the
work of the Y. NJ. c. A. among men
and boys. He was associated with
the late w. o. Hunton, one of the
outstanding figures in the early days
of the movement. 1t is said that II
was through DIR. Moorland's activ-
tiles in large measure that resulted
in Julius Rosenwald's generosity in
offering S25,OO0 for every city in the
United States that would raise $4,000
to erect branch within given time.
Fourteen cities took advantage of
this offer, and their buildings and Y.
NJ. C. A. organizations attest the wis
dom and the far-sightedness exer-
cised by DIR. Moorland in pressing
this program.

Atlanta. Ga, June 20-Strong state
ments adopted last month by the
Southern Baptist convention and the
Southern Methodist Board of Missions
are pointed out by the Commission on
Jnter-racial Cooperation as further
indication of the growing determlha-
+ion of the South to eradicate lynch-
ing and mob violence. These Dooies
represent the two greatest denomina-
tions in the South, with an aggregate
membership of about six millions. Inc
Rantists in annual convention in Kan
-sas Citv adopted the following:
"Tbis convention has repeatedly
zone on record as unalterably opposed
to all sorts of mob violence and mop
rule. Perhaps the most vicious ana
the most dangerous form OF lawless-
ness in our present day is found IN
the activity and violence OF moDs. we
both pity and condemn BolsheVlsn III
Russia. and rightly so, while we nave
occurrences in our own 1alr iaiiu
which would chill our blood with hor-
ror if they happened in Russia or IN
onv other land, however, benighted OF
wanting in the essentials OF orueris
government. Mob violence defles all
law. despises every principle anu
function of government, and tramples
info tbe dust every human right MOD
violence in the South, in its beginning
most often occurred against lndVlu-
nails of the Negro race for attacks up
ON the sanctity of womanhood. Like
oil concerous evils it has spread. IL
is now practised for other of1ehses'
against the white race as well as the
Negro race. But if the evil hau re-
mained or should be confined to the
realm in which it began it is not TO
be tolerated by Christians or by oth-
er intelligent patriotic citizens.
"In the recent months mob violence
has become more active and menaclng
perhaps more than at any time prev
ious. certainly for years. AS IL 10
make their crime all the more cowaru-
ly and diabolical in many cases lhe
mobs have concealed their Identity anu
Increased the difficulty of apprehend-
ing and Furnishing their members DS
wearing masks. 1t goes without say
ing that no true, intelligent, patrlouc
American can or will give support OF
onnroval TO mob violence whether the
mob be masked or unmasked' huch
less can our Baptist people anu
preachers think of so doing. we can-
not but hope that all our pastors anu
churches will studiously refrain from
giving approval or support to proce-
dure that can possibly encourage dls'
order in any FORM"
The resolution of the Methodist Mis-
sion Board came up in connectioh
with a recent lynching and was as
follows:
"Resolved, That a message OF COM
mendation and approval be sent Oir-
cult Judge Walker for his fearless
and righteous exposition OF the Ia"
