the part of white people in the work
of the N. A. A. c. p. than would be

the theory of Nordic superiority and
was supported by practically the en-
tire group of leading citizens there.
In fact, in that club a white profess
sor of biology recommended race
amalgamation as a solution for the
present problems.

MU-S0 CHORUSJS
FEATURED IN 9TH
ANNUAL CONCERT
Appreciative A u d j e n c e Hear
Very Splendid Program in
Mill City Tuesday.

A unique musical treat was pre-
sented when the Mu-So Choral Club,
under the direction of Mr.. w. C. JEFF
frey, gave their sixth annual concert
at Wells Memorial Hall in Minneap-
oils Wednesday evening. The Choral
club numbers were well rendered and
the appreciation of the audience was
thoroughly demonstrated by the sim
cere applause.
The featured numbers of the pro-
gram were original compositions by
Mrs. Kathryn Smith, solos by Mr..
Mark Gibbs, instrumental number by
Miss Marienne Jeffrey and select
readings by Miss Mary Edith James.
These numbers, together with the ad-
ditional renditions by the chorus, con-
stituted one OF the best programs
ever heard in the Mill City. The his
tory and works of the organization
were briefly stated by Mr.. VIM.
Smith.
Record Is Made.
This exceptional musical organiza-
tion has made an enviable record be-
cause Of its superior service to the
community. Each members is a tai
ented vocalist and Mr.. Jeffrey is de-
serving of much credit for molding
a splendid musical organization and
keeping it intact for six seasons. The
only regret is that the Mu-So Choral
Club is not supported sufficiently by
pubIic-spirited citizens so that it can
be heard more often in such pro-
grams as was given Wednesday eve
ming. This organization has been
featured over WLAG in a radio pro-
gram, sang on various concerts at the
noon day recital at the Court House
and appeared in various other pro-
grams since its establishment six
years ago.
= The Wells Memorial feel justly
proud for having such a splendid or
ganization on their roster and the
Race is uplifted by the demonstra-
tion of talent by the Mu-So Choral
Club.

LEAGUERS WIN

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 17.-Scor- ing seven runs in the fourth inning, the Old Timers professional baseball team composed of players who participated in the National and American leagues a decade or more ago, defeated a team composed of old time sand lotters, 8 to 3, in a five-inning game here today.
 The game was the feature of anna teur day, sponsored by the Cleveland Amateur Baseball and Athletic asso- citation, to raise funds to provide medi- cal aid for sand lotters and finance youngsters teams.
 Cy Young, the only pitcher to win 300 games in the major leagues, and "Chief" Trimmer, his battery mate on the old Cleveland Spiders" formed the battery for the former big leaguers for two innings. That Young has lost none of his cunning is evidenced by the fact that he allowed only three hits and struck out the same number of men.
