Dear Sir: ..
1 wish to thank you for featuring
the announcement of DR.. H. P. Jones
as the preacher at our II O'Clock ser
vice last Sunday morning.
1 trust that it may be as encour'
aging and helpful to you as it is tc
me to know that the overflow attend
ance was produced by the notice Civ,
en- through the Negro press alone.
The appointment was made with
DR.. Jones on Monday, Nov. 9. Hence
we had no opportunity for a Sunday
announcement and probably less than
a hundred persons were informed at
our mid-week services.
The makeup of the Echo, literary
style and quality, speak for them
selves and commend the paper to ev-
cry lover of good, clean and whole

You may count on me as a friend
and promoter of your enterprise, and
1 am always at your command.
Enclosed find check for my sub
scription for one year.
Very truly yours,

SWEET NEIGHBORS
MET TO PROTEST

other sections of the city and that all
the defendants were found there in
the midst of a plentiful supply of
arms. ammunition and food. The de-
tense to be presented by barrow is
that they fired after thehouse had
been stoned.
Judge Murphy's statement came
during examination of Inspector Nc
Pherson, head of the police black
hand squad, when he testified he had
offered DR.. Sweet protection and in
structed Sweet to let him know
whenever anything looked suspicious.
barrow objected that the testimony
of the inspector could be held bind
ing only as to the defendants who
actually heard the conversation and
the prosecution contended under the
conspiracy count it would be binding
on all the defendants.
"That may be true" Judge Muir
ply said, "but at this time do not
believe there has been proof OF con-
spiracy. The testimony of this wit
ness will be admissible only against
DR.. Sweet and the others who heard
his conversation with the inspec-
tors"
1t is thought that barrow will ask
for dismissal as soon as the state
rests its case. Indications are that
the state will be unable to sustain its
conspiracy charge.

Want To Lose A
Hubby? Use Any
OfThese Means

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Camden, N. j., Nov. 2O.-Do you
want to get rid of your husband?
Records of separation and non
support cases at the Bureau of Char
tiles in this city revealed a number
of efficient methods.
Nag,
Live with your mother-in-law-
Cook badly
Set the alarm clock for a different
hour every morning
Leave your hairpins lying all
around the bedroom
Make him get his own breakfast
Forget to wake him in the morn
ing
If that doesn't do the trick, give
him up. He's hopeless.
Records showed that the biggest
factors in most of the separation
cases were nagging, mother-in-laws,
drunkness, incompatibility and inter-
fering neighbors.
A contributing cause which has
arisen within the last few years is
the fact that more women are today
financially independent. In other
days a woman had no alternative but
to submit to her husbands i'll treat
ment or go back to her parents. To-
day a great many of them work and
are not dependent on their better
halves for support.

The Editor, St. Paul Echo,
st. Paul, Mimi.
Dear Sir:
In reply to your editorial, "Our
University Record" which appeared
in the November 7th issue of The
Echo, we feel that you have misled
the public as to the relative signifi-
canoe of the statistics presented and
have done us an injustice as univer-
sity students.
The three colored organizations
are at the bottom of the scholastic
list, but the reasons are in no way
those that your editorial implies.
The editorial leaves an impression of
truth in the theory that Negro men
tally does not develop after GER
tain age, because your use of the
words remarkable" and superb
cial" are ambiguous, leaving the
reader with an impression that you
admit there is racial intellectual
inferiority.
The scholastic record can be much
more logically and fairly explained
than by your Remarkable, if super
ficial," editorial.
Negro students on the campus are
working under numerous handicaps.
Racial prejudice is an admitted fact.
Instructors have shown their dislike
for Negro students in grading their
work, and frequently in class room
attitude. Instances are well known
where certain instructors have re-
fused to seat Negro students in the
alphabetical seating order; instead,
the Negro has been seated in a back
row or in a particular section. In
view of such actions is it possible
for student, conscious of such pre-
JUDGE, able to do his best work?
The average Negro student is
either entirely or partially self-sup-
porting; he is not able to give prop
er time to his studies because he
must work. Such conditions are
much more prevalent among Negro
students than among whites. The
time and place of his employment is
generally irregular. 1t is not I'M
common for colored students to have
to work late on nights before impor-
tant examinations. Under these cir
cumstances he cannot do his best or
even a normal average degree of JUS
tice to his work.
We do not consider, nor offer
these arguments as excuses or alibis,
but they are very logical reasons for
the low scholastic rating, and in con-
sideration of them we feel that your
editorial is an injustice to our stu
dents.
Sincerely,
XII Chapter,
