the Rainbow Restaurant, at 1872 E. 35th
Street, received severe jolt here yes
terday when four colored men entered
and demanded service and were refus-
ed and the police came in to take
hand in the situation. The managers
are Greeks so THE colored men had
fairly even chance with them. Were
they white Americans it is doubtful
that the police would have interfered
in favor Of the colored men. AS 1t Is,
however the white managers were in
formed that they must serve "a!l
or "close shop" The men got
service and as a result the local papers
here are advising their readers to
emulate their example Of entering any
restaurant anywhere and demanding
service.

 s'We had some work cutting up that maple after it was felled too" said Mrs. Root, "And I had to turn to and help with the cross-cut saw. There was no fun in that or in pushing and pulling a hand sled to get the wood around to the woodshed, but when you had to do it, you had to, whether there vas any fun in it or not.
 sI made up my mind wouldn't be caught that way again" said Mir. Root ssand last fall laid in s good supply of firewood. But we have been awfuily short of money to buy food, and the foreclosing of the mortgage added tc our worries. Although the man whc holds 1t said we might stay here in' definitely, l could see that we were headed straight for the poorhouse.
 "They had an article in the warrant for the town meeting calling for an appropriation to pay of the mortgage on the place and redeem it for Us, but didn't quite see how the town could legally spend money that way,
 When the article was read by the moderator a. the meeting last week, ii was indefinitely postponed. But there was reason.
 About a month ago Calvin s. Root, a first cousin of Noble Root, living at Charlotte, died intestate, and the Pro bate Court has notified the aged Shel- burne farmer that he will inherit the estate, which Is expected to total near ly sf5.000. There is about ss.000 in cash securities, and the remainder consists of productive real estate.
 ''It will save us from the poorhouse and keep us for the rest of our days" said Mir Root.
 And best of all we won't have to lose our old home" said Mrs. Root. Just when l was about to lose faith in God. He has answered my prayers.
 Edward Harrington of Shelburne has been appointed administrator or the Calvin Root estate and George M. Palmer. one of the seleetmen of the town, has been made guardian Of the aged heir.
