Dabney's cincinnati's colored Citizen,

Dabney's Cincinnati's colored Citizens
"Home, Sweet Home" means some
thing to Wendell p. Dabney, veteran
editor of the Cincinnati Union and
public spirited citizen for many years,
Of Cincinnati, chief metropolis Of
Southern Ohio. Mr. Dabney has TAX
en- the time, the care and the effort
necessary to produce volume setting
forth the history and the achievements
Of CINCINNATI Co1ored Citizens; "be-
cause" says Mr.. Dabney, such infor
nation, I felt, would 60 far to eradi-
cate much of the prejudice against us,
that owes its origin to the ignorance or
superficial knowledge Of our white cit
izens." Further on, in his preface, the
author says: Il have strayed far from
the cold, formal, stereotyped historical
volume in efforts to show the soul as
we'll as the body of people who are
so little known, so little understood
and for so many years so much OPP
pressed because Of such misunder-
standing"
Thereafter follow more than 400
pages of absorbing facts, opinions and
descriptions, historical and otherwise,
Of the development Of the colored
wing of Cincinnati from prehistoric
times" to date. The advancement of
the Cincinnati Negro, as described by
Dabney, is indeed amazing; and it is
only upon coming face to face with
proofs of the races growth, not only
in Cincinnati, but everywhere, that we
can fully appreciate the silver lining
OF the cloud which has lowered over
us for so long. From slavery to COM
plete and composite representation in
every activity of great American city
is the answer Cincinnati has made to
the challenge of the "supremists." So
has New York, Chicago, Kansas City,
Atlanta and every other urban center
Given full chance, the Negro has
made full advance; given half chance
he has made three-quarters advances;
and given no chance, he has made half
advances. This is the answer to the
serfdom Of the South, and it will prove
itself decade after decade, generation
after generation.
Wendell P. Dabney has done his
city, his state, his people, the nation
and himself a signal honor by his
worthy volume, "Cincinnatfs Colored
Citizens" which may be pro6tably
read, not only by Ohioans, but by the
world.

Guard Cutter 100
Reaches Boston Port

Boston, Aug. s-(R)-The U. s.
coast guard cutter 100 limped into
port today with three foot hole in
her starboard side and her fore and
main masts missing as a result Of a
collision with towed barge IA miles

ly escaped serious injury when the
barge stove through the side of the
cutter just aft of the banks in which
they were sleeping.
The cutter left the East Boston
base last night to cruise along Rum
Row in search Of rum runners. Early
this morning Coxswain Thomas FitZ-
gerald. who was left in command
when the captain went below, sight
ed a tug and two barges. Believing
the second barge anchored, Fitz-
gerald held a course between the two
and the cutter plowed into the tow
rope. The fore and main masts were
dismantled by the impact and one OF
the barges swung against the cutter,
smashing the hole in her side. The
barges were the Grace and Edith, in
tow by the tug Sane.
BY fitting a cork collision mat over
the hole and keeping the emergency
pumps working. the cutter was able
to make her way back to her base
under her own power.

Quote Figures to
Show n. E. Dairy
Business Is Poor

Plymouth, Mass, Aug. 6.-lP)-Sta-
tistics covering two decades were cited
at an interstate commerce commission
heariTS here today to show that the
New England dairy industry was not
in a fourishing condition.
Wesley H Bronson, head of the re-
search department of the New England
Milk Producers Association. testified
that there was now less young dairy
stock on the farms than few years
ago; that there had been a material in
crease in FIVE years in the number of
mortgaSed farms; that Boston milk
dealers had been forced farther af1eld
until now some milk was brought to
the city from a distance of 800 miles
and some cream from Minnesota. The
witness opposed the petition of four
New England railroads for an increase
in milk transportation rates.
Answering the railroad contention
that much extra equipment had to be
maintained to meet the fluctuation in
the milk business. Bronson maintained
there was very little fluctuation that
could be provided for in advance.
Professor George Young of the Uni
Versity of Vermont testified that dairy
farmers in that state were virtually
holding their own but that accura te
cost studies on the farms showed they
were not making much money.
The hearing probably will close to-
morrow until August 80.
