THE Y. M G. A. WORK SHOWS
MARKED PROGRESS.

AY. C. A., building year opened
for service to colored men and boys, is
the average maintained since 1911 ac-
cording to statement issued by the
Colored Mems Department of the Inter
national Committee of that organiza
ton.
This progress, the report states, has
been made possible to large extent
through the offer made by julius Rosen
valid, President of the Sears-Roebu1 tx
Company of Chicago. to contribute $40
coo to each city in the country that
would raise the additional funds neces
sary to erect a standard building.
The most recent one to open its doors
was Pittsburgh which began operation
last October. Denver has recently brok
en- ground and Detroit will begin work
probably in April. These standard
buildings are situated in centers with
an aggregate population Of nearly q
million colored men and boys. fully a
fourth of whom are touched directly Or
indirectly by "Y'' activities. OF the 80
city and industrial Associations, IS arc
housed in standard buildings valued at
$3,700,000
More often than not the "Y'' building
is the only place where colored man
may secure decent nights lodging OF
wholesome meal at reasonable rates
The "Y' gymnasium and swimming
pools are usually the only centers OF
physical activities for colored men and
boys in the community. One Assocla
ton reports that AZ different organize
lions meet monthly or oftener in its
building. Through Bible study classes
religious meetings and personal work
men are encouraged to'lead Christian
lives and to render helpful services to
the churches. Other features of the
work mentioned are the educational,
the employment, the social and the
Industrial extension.
Substantial increases are noted also
in the work among students in colored
secondary schools and colleges. A gain
of AZ Associations in 10 years is shown
bringing the total to 1872 such branahes
with membership of 5000 and various
phases of service to 10000 students.
Progress is shown also toward self
support nationally and locally that col
cred men are making in 'Y' work. In
ten wears the amount raised by tie Col
cred Mems Department for the Home
Work of the international Committee
has grown from less than 81 600 annual
ly to more than 81 600.
More than "a per cent Of the operat
ing expenses of local secretaries is
borne by colored people out of the III
come from services rendered and con-
tributions from the public.

Dear Friend MITCHELL
The PLANET" reaches me regularly
every week. Enclosed find check for
three dollars $4,000 on subscription
and best wishes for success in all Of
your undertakings. 1t is a sad common
tary upon the white mans civilization
when he finds it necessary to pass a
law prohibiting himself from marrying
a colored woman and it is certainly L
reflection upon white women to need a
law preventing them from marrying
colored men.
There are twenty states in the Union
that have no such statute ana IN these
states, the intermarriage would nO,
represent one tenth of one per rent. All
the Negro wants in Virginia and Colo
RADIO is simple Justice. There is no such
thing as social equality" it is fig
ment of the unthinking brain. There is
no social equality among whites and
how could there be any among whites
and blacks.
May that day never dawn when the
Negroes of this country shall ever for.
get the pouring out of your all upon
the altar of sacrifice for the saving Of
your people.
Sincerely your friend.
