in the first paragraph Of the three page

who called the novelist 'the ventripo-

Garner, waster, the man of much and
witty laughter, the man of the great
heart. n. ;" Mr.. Sheppard then gives a
critical estimate of the great Negro
writer, closing with an interesting
story which reveals one Of Dumas
traits Thus Mr.. Sheppard tells it.

N.A.A.C.P. AIDS THREATENED
HOME OWNERS

A new case where attempts were
made to prevent a colored family from
occupying its home and in which the
N.A.A.C.P. rendered aid. developed in
Jamaica, L. l., during the past week.
Mr.. and Mrs. n. H. Jefferson pur-
chased home recently at 1904 173rd
street, Jamaica, L. l., moving into their
new residence on June End. After oc-
cupying the home for six weeks they
received a letter signed "Ku Klux
Klan," ordering them to move.
The case was reported to the N.A.A.
C.P. by Mr.. Eugene Kinckle Jones of
the National Urban League The Ad-
vancement Association Immediately
took up the matter with Police Com
missioner Mclaughlin, Mayor Walker
and with the United States postal au-
thorities, inasmuch as the threat
against Mr.. and Mrs. Jefferson passed
through the mails.
Most of Mr.. and Mrs. Jefferson's
neighbors welcomed them into the
neighborhood and are exceedingly
friendly. The agitation against them,
according to indications, is being stirred
up by retired actress who lives some
distance from the Jefferson home. An
other factor in the case is believed to
be due to the fact that the Jefferson
home is the most attractive residence
in the neighborhood
Mrs. Jefferson was for seven years
connected with the Y.W.C.A. at
Washington, while Mr.. Jefferson is
employed by the Pullman Company.

BULLETIN No. 67-WARNINcS
TO THE SToREKEEpER
BY Chief of Police Morgan A. Collins

Burglary Of stores after closing hours
can be greatly reduced if storekeepers
exercise proper precautions and bear in
mind the following suggestions:
Don't rely on ordinary locks. dead
locks are much more reliable and not
so easily forced.
Before leaving at night, set your
burglar alarms. Equip your windows
also with alarms and test them daily.
Burglars rarely enter a place where
light is burning Keep the interior
of your store illuminated after closing
hours.
Have your safe and cash register
placed so that the police officer on the
post can plainly see them.
Before leaving at night make thor
ough inspection of places where
thief may conceal himself, especially
in rear of stairways and in the base
ment. Just because you are insured
against theft-don't be careless in in
surfing your premises.
Do not allow a large amount of
money to accumulate; deposit it in the
bank during the course of the dav
Valuable merchandise should not Be
left over night in windows and show
cases. 1t attracts thieves.
By your vigilance you will assist
the police department in protecting
your property against thieves, and if
you cause the arrest of one of them,
help us to convict them.
