ROmping Around

Radio Dial
By Listner-I In

It is pethaps fortunate that the
poets got through with most Of
their June poetry before the dis
covery Of radio.
The loud speaker and the head
phones have taken much away
from the prestige Of the best ad.
vertised of the twelve months.
We tried nightly last night to
awaken a sincere appreciation Of
the music that rasped through the
static into our ears.
1t was good program. one that
in midi December would have evok-
ed our heartiest praise.
But on the hottest night OF the
year. it was almost without charm.
The Washington College of Music
has benefited local broadcasting
considerably during the past win
ter. We were pleased, therefore,
that the commencement exercises
from that institution were put on
the air.
But it would have been OF far
more interest to us on an evening
that was at least reasonable in It's
humidity.
An address whose subject, He.

and Mr.. Coolidge was introduced by
Henry Richards.
With the aid of stereoptican views
Mr.. Coolidge traced the development
OF architecture in America during
the last decade. He showed that
architects in this country while solv-
ing all utiliiarian problems, still
were able to create buildings Of such
beauty that they are recognized as
monuments.
Mr.. Coolidge declared that every
american has reason to be proud Of
the development Of beauty in archi-
lecture which has made America the
leader In this field Of art within the
last decade. Nowhere In the world
today is there the demand for such
expressive churches as has charac-
terized the building in America.
Nevertheless, according to the speak,
er, greatness in size Is becoming
more and more to be expressed
through great beauty. He showed
that this is regional Of any section of
the country-characteri of the
nation as whole.

Be the Devil to ray.
(Telegram to the New York Age.)
d FORT PIERCE, Fla.,-Chester A.
Moore, colored man, of Clifford, Flori-
da, who passed the civil service exami-
nation for clerk-carrier in the Post
office Department, was named for ap-
pointment on April 9Th, in the Fort
Pierce Office under Postmaster Roden.
According to the Fort Pierce New
Tribune. Postmaster 'Eoden stated that
the appointment of Moore was made
because he was the only eligible on the
list, and that the selection Of a color
ed man for duty was unavoidable since
so few of the whites made an effort to
qualify.
But other whites Of the neighbor-
hood do not take the same view Of it.
One white man, said to be Republi
can, called on Moore on April 4, even
before the latter had received orders to
report for duty and advised him that
colored mans presence in the Fort
Pierce postofice would weaken the
party in the county and suggested
that the appointment be declined.
Two hours later on the same morn
ing Moore was visited by white Dem
ocrat, who is also County officer and
a patron Of the Fort Peirce Office, and
advised him "as a father and friend
to decline the appointment, declaring
unless that course was followed,
there would be the devil to pay in
Fort Pierce"
Under the circumstances, Moore was
considerably perturbed. He went to
Fort Pierce and laid the matter before
the postmaster, but the latter declined
to express any opinion, only asking if
Moore would be ready for duty next
morning.
The colored man stated his desire to
do so, but under the circumstances
feared he might have to decline. When
asked if he would recommend Moore
for a transfer the postmaster replied
that the question of transfer should
be taken up with the Postoffice Depart
ment.
Mr.. Moore was an applicant for the
postmastership at Clifford, a fourth
class office, and was the only one who
passed the civil service examination
on May 5. 1923. Two white applicants
were unsuccessful, one of them being
the acting postmaster, who is still serv
ing. Ninety-eight per cent. of the pat
ronage is colored.-N Y. Age.
