The federation officials assured the

According to federation officials,
more colored workers are joining the

strikes in other industries in Chicago
where colored women are employed
are predicted as a result of the action
taken by the date suffers and the prof

Another thing that should not be

great cities of the Southwest"
Asked about his Arctic trip, the
Governor replied:
My airplane trip to the Arctic and
the Chandalar mining district was
eminently successful. In our thousand
mile flight-high and low-we saw
much and learned more. The Chan
dalar is a great new gold camp, and
will give a good account of itself in
the coming years. On account OF be-
ing the most northern gold camp in
the world, we had, in the past, many
difficulties to overcome, but we knew
the gold was there-both placer and
quartz-and we never lost courage in
the future.
You know" said Mr.. Sulzer, that
one OF my ten rules of philosophy is:
That a gutter never wins, and win
ner never quits That has been the
motto Of the Chandalar gold camp
since its discovery. The men who
have stuck to it are now going to win
beyond the dreams Of their most san
guine expectations.
Now that the Chandalar gold camp
has the best airplane landing field in
Alaska; wireless station; postofice
a fairly good road from Beaver on the
Yukon to the Little Squaw mines, and
a townsite all laid out; Chandalar will
soon have a thriving and industrious
mining population; and take my word
for it-and l speak by the book-the
Chandalar in the coming years will
produce more gold-both quartz and

PORTSMOUTH, VA, COUNCIL
PLANS SEGREGATION LAW
preston News Service)

Portsmouth, Va. Oct. 22.-Members
Of the Lee Ward Civic League are
strongly importuning the city council
to pass law forbidding Negroes to
move into white neighborhoods.
After heated and lively discussion
last Wednesday night in the council
meeting over the need in Portsmouth
Of a segregation law and legal means
of enforcing it, the City Manager is
reported to have assured the complain
ants that he would like a little time
to look into the matter and see if many
OF the things complained of could not
be satisfactorily adjusted.
1t was brought out in that meeting
during the heated discussion that there
existed row Of old dilapidated frame
houses in the immediate vicinity of the
Robert E. Lee school. Those old
shacks could not be rented to white
people and the owners had turned them
over to Negro tenants. One of the
speakers declared that the old shacks
constituted nothing less than an eye
sore. These were sufficient causes for
the council to take some action to see
that they were removed. Then to add
to the who ugly situation by letting
Negroes live in them certainly should
cause any white person with an ounce
Of civic pride to take some steps tc
clean up the neighborhood.
It was suggested by some speaker:
that legal means should be employed
to have the owners raze the buildings
This would keep the Negroes out O.
the community.
Councilman Dunford declared tina
Portsmouth was the only city of it:
size in the country which did not have
a law to keep colored people from NOV
ing into white residential districts.
City Attorney Barclay responded
that an effort some years ago to evolve
a workable segregation law operating
on the race proportion in each blocl
was halted by the difficulties involved
He said that about that time attempts
to impose segregation laws in othel
cities had been halted by the courts
The ordinances had been declared IN
constitutional.
Councilman Mayo then sprang tc
his feet and declared that the validity
of such an ordinance in Portsmouth
might not be attacked by the Ports
mouth Negroes.
Councilman White stated that the
question had been studied carefully
and exhaustively by former City Man
Iager Jervy, who reached the conclusion
that no valid law could be passed fol
the segregation of the races. To thi!
Mrs. Woodland, president of the Rob
ert E. Lee School League, took ex.

WRITER SAYS FIRST MORT
GAGE BONDS ARE SUREST
WAY TO FINANCIAL
INDEPENDENCE
BY Frederic D. Coffey, B.C.S., Phi. B.

No matter how much we may like
our work, all OF us look forward to a
time when we will have an indepen-
dent income that will support US, if we
ever become unable or disinclined to
work.
If you want financial independence,
you can have it. No one can keep you
from having it except yourself. Right
THIS MOMENT, as you read this
article, you can decide to build fnan-
cial independence for yourself OBJ
viously, the question comes up in your
mind as to what is the surest way to
financial independence. The answer
is-INVEST IN FIRST MORT
GAGE REAL ESTATE BONDS.
First Mortgage Real Estate Bonds are
the safest as we'll as the Oldest form
OF investment-the security is rooted
in the soil. The properties which rep
resent the necessities, rather than the
luxuries OF life, offer the best first
mortgage securities. Chicago, the city
Of assured and constant growth, offers
the best security in the First Mortgage
Bond field. Throughout the entire his
tory OF investments there is one Sc
curity that has stood out-First Mort
cages on Real Estate.
Important Features
There are many salient features
which go to protect the principal and
the payment of interest to the bond
holder, but these features are taken
care OF by the institution issuing the
bonds and need not worry us here;
because it is taken for granted that an
investor is wide awake enough to deal
with only reputable institutions selling
bonds. If, on the other hand. an in
weston has obtained Cd security of his
principal, (2) fixed or definite inter
est, 80 fair return in income, (4) an
investment which is salable without

be felicitated. Obviously, all invest
ments do not have such clarifying ele-
ments of an ideal investment, but YOU
can deal with house of repute, and
there are at least two important ques-
tons which arise about the organiza-
ton which issues bonds. How long
has the investment house been in bust
ness? What is its reputation for han
ding safe and sound investments?

Final Number in Lyceum
Course Tuesday Evening
The Tamburitza Serenaders, Natives
of Jugo Slavia, the Attraction
Are Unique Entertainers

The final number of the Lyceum
course of the 1925-26 season will be
given on Tuesday, March End, at the
Junior High School Auditorium. The
Elias Tamburitza Serenaders, of
Jugo Slavia, will furnish the enter
tainment for this final number. This
number promises to be both novel and
entertaining.
The personnel of the company con-
sists of natives of Jugo Slavia, a lit
tie country of about twelve million
population lying ON the Balkan Pen
insula. Although all the members of
the company are natives of Jugo
Slavia, two of their number, Martha
and Charles Elias, have taken adj
vantage of American educational op-
portunities and have graduated from
high schools in this country. These
two clever young musicians and en-
tertainers will add a special feature
to the program by appearing in some
of the native dances of their coun-
try.
The Tamburitza is one of the fea-
cure instruments of the orchestra. 1t
has been the household musical in
strument of the Jugo Slavs for gen.
creations. 1t is something similar to
our mandolin or guitar but has much
more sweetness of tone and is espec-
tally adapted to orchestra work.
Charles Elias, who is manager and
director of this company, is an &C.
complished musician, studying music
both in Europe and in this country {.
Nickola Krznarich plays the Berdo,
corresponding to the string bass in
American orchestras. John Miskulin
plays the III. Bugarija and drums.
This is the first appearance of
these entertainers in this part of the
country. The program will no doubt
be a fitting climax to a very success
full year of local lyceum entertain
ment.
Season tickets may be reserved at

which landed full in the lower part
of his face, badly decorating his low

teeth. He was brought to the city

stefan who took several stitches. Mr..

bone panied severely. An X-ray dis
closed the fact that the lower jaw
had been fractured about the center
of the mouth. He was placed under
ether and the fracture reduced. Late
in the afternoon he was taken to ST..
Cloud and placed in the hospital for
treatment.

alton he said that he was to let the

Upon being asked whether this let
ting included the strip between AL
bany and Freeport he positively stat
ed that his plans include the Albany
Freeport strip and the entire job
would be completed this year.
The plans also call for the con-
struction of bridge in the village OF
Albany at as cost Of $1,000.
The only improvements contem-
plated on Highway No. 4 for which
bids will be asked March 16 is 4.3
miles of grading between Ten Strike

$4,000.
On March 16 bids will be received
for six new bridges and the widening
of another bridge on Highway %,
west of Morris. The estimated cost
for this work is $4,000.
Traffic on No. 8 between Sank

of the summer, and no doubt many
tourists will be routed in other di-
rections but after this year Sank
