BY NEGROES
(By Miss Grace s. Lowndes for
Preston News Service

Cleveland, o., June 17.-Anong the
many things which made the fifty
third Annual Conference of Social
Workers, just closed, stand out prom
inently as far as the Negro is con-
cerned, was the blasting of hopes Of
the South to land the next meeting in
Chattanooga. During the discussion
IN connection with the selection for
the next meeting place many pertinent
facts were revealed about the per-
nicious action the Southerners had
taken in 1925 just prior to the New
Orleans meeting to segregate the Ne
gro delegates. The conference went
definitely on record as opposed to such
manifestations of prejudice in selection
Of Des Moines as next meeting place.
If there still lives a man in whose
mind there is a doubt of the necessity
OF efficacy Of social work that man
ought to have attended this conference.
It was most inspiring to see those
thousands of the brightest minds Of
this century, the psychologists, PSYCHE
artists, experts from the different
schools of medical service, prison Of
hcials, business men, publicity experts,
as well as representatives from all the
many phases of social work

 ABOUT ABE LINCOLN

In examining more than 17,OOO books and documents about Abra- ham Lincoln the researchers for the Rockett Lincoln Film Company, pro- ducers of Abraham Linco,n," a First National picture to be shown at the Liberty tonight, have amassed al- most countless odds and ends of facts-little things-that go to make up the sum total of Lincoiniana.
 As boy, youth, and man. Lin- coin was favorite with women. They all liked him-old and young. He had three great loves and there was never a rendered lover, more devoted husband, nor a more patient and loving daddy.
 As war President he had an un- canny insight into military affairs and would doubtless have been as great commander as statesman.
