II must deal with these practical prob
lens Of life and labor.
"Again, let us look at the great hous-
ing issues now SO crucial in every one
of our Northern cities. This involves
not only the question of the internal
conditions of the Negro but involves
his relationship with his white neigh
bors. If the Negro church in person.
mel and social service organization was
today able to step out in the forefront
Of the problem of adjusting the hous-
ing, community conditions and rela-
tions OF Negro groups in a hundred
cities and towns North and South we
would immediately see new day IN
both the internal community life of the
Negro and his relationships with his
white neighbors.
"Turn in another direction. Look
at the great leisure-time needs OF
these teeming millions who are crowd
ing into our industrial and commercial
centers. They are having money
through increased earnings-more
money than they have ever known be-
fore. Their hours Of work are shorten
ing and their hours Of leisure arc
lengthening. What is being provided
to take care of this leisure? In many
communities the churches have abdi-
Gated their right and opportunity to
furnish the outlet for these leisure
time activities"

Some six or seven years ago, Mr..

beauty and charm for gifts Of esteem

MISS LoWNDES JOINS PRES
TON NEWS SERVICE STAFF
preston News Service)

Pittsburgh, Pa, May 2l.-What
might be we'll considered an epoch. in
Negro journalism. is the announcement
that Miss Grace Lowndes, of Pitts
burgh, has become a staff member OF
the Preston News Service.
OF southern extraction, trained un-
der northern conditions, ambitious and
successful in her every venture, Miss
Lowndes is typical of the writer that
women like to read after each week
Her life, like many others of her sex,
includes the problem of maintaining
the family budget at a tender age;
proper schooling for herself and
younger brothers and sisters; and with
this much accomplished, migrating to
a distant point where better opportu-
mites were offered.
1t can readily be seen that from the
very beginning, Miss Lowndes is well
qualified to speak Of life in a practical
way
Although prominent in social circles
active in club life and successful in
business, her greatest work, undoubt-
edly, is in connection with the morals
court as social worker For over eight
years she has been credit to her en-
ployers, the people she served-and
herself
Problems are always interesting; bu,
problems with the least bit Of danger
attached to them require an adven-
turous mind for their solution. In
vestigations extending from the most
fashionable home to the filthiest howell;
the most respectable school lassie to
the confirmed prostitute; the scrup-
ulously honest man to the amateur or
professional thief that not only steal
but murders; the innocent victim OF
circumstance to the immoral plotter
these but give an idea of her range
Of work as an attache Of morals court.
She has seen these people, talked with
them,-and studied them
Out Of this experience has come a
definite cause for some deplorable con-
ditions, and following in natural Sc
quence is a remedy-tried and proven.
If she advances new version on So
cial conditions, causes and remedies,
she will advance them because new

hind any statement that she will make,

curacy that he receives the message
as sent. This department receipts for
the fiscal year 1925 was $500, $751;
477.5o; expenditures, $63o, 336, 5048S,
leaving a deficit Of $30, 1000, 1000.
We mention these figures and the
battles Of the Post Master General
with the committee on post Offices and

committee, the committee on ap-
preparations. They sit in the COM
mittee room, they figure out the

lance just what each department
should have, but oftimes they fail to
figure the distance that the carrier has
to cover and the wear and tear Of per-
petual motion on the clerk as he
swings the half circle getting the mail
ready for the train. When these men
have worked in these positions for
any length of time they are unfit for
any other position in life and it took
a man like Post Master General Harry
S. New to awaken these committees
to sense Of human feeling for COM
mon serf. His service to the men and
the public in every detail has been un-
equalIed by any previous Post Master
General. Large cities usually get their
portions of their needs but the smaller
ones and, the rural districts suffer, but
if the committee on appropriation will
examine carefully each survey made
by the man who knows, they will give
to Mr.. New all Of the appropriations
he asks for. The marvel Of his adj
ministration comes in his foresight to
grasp the situation that facilitates the
public demands by the air mail route.
This service has astonished the world
and credit is due almost solely to the
manner in which, Post Master General
New works out the results by confer
ences with the heads of his depart
ments. They sit at round table gather
ings with pads and pencils and they
mark out the lines to be worked out
at the reconvening Of the conference
to hear the subordinates talk Of the
kind manner and the fatherly advice
which he gives to them that the his
tory of tomorrow may tell the story of
their worth and character in the serv-
ice of the Union in this great depart
ment. It would be wise stroke if

Washington.-An american indie
pendence Week" will be observed
throughout the country from June %
to July S, to mark the sesqui-centennial
this year of the Declaration of INDIE
pendence and the centenary of the
death of Thomas Jefferson.
Decision to that effect was reached
today by the commission appointed by
the Government to arrange for the OBJ
servance at meeting in the White
House, presided over by President
Coolidge.
The commission selected Mr.. Cool
idge as honorary chairman. DR.. Ed
win A. Alderman, president of the

The commission plans to prepare a
patriotic and educational program for
the week with the cooperation Of
Governors, Mayors. and civic organ
izations.
President Coolidge read telegram
from Felix NJ Warburg, member of
the commission, suggesting that as a
tribute to Thomas Jefferson's stand
for religious freedom, a Protestant, a
Catholic, and Jew each contribute
100000 to the fund for the purpose
Of Monticello and to the endowment
fund.
Calling attention to the fact that
both these civilian heads are men Of
Southern birth and training and dem
ocratic in politics, the National Equal
Rights League has protested to Pres
ident Coolidge against a program with
Southern race bias, even negatively
for the official sesqui-centennial of the
Declaration which can only be con-
structively observed by emphasis upon
the great principles OF liberty and the
equality Of man upon which il based
the right Of the Colonies to become
an independent nation. the end Of the
