N. A. A. C.. P. NOTES

The N. Y. office, short time since,
asked the Minneapolis branch to in
vestigate a case referred to it by a
prisoner in the Saltwater peniten-
tiary. The matter was referred to the
Legal and Redress Committee. Miss
L. o. Smith of the committee made an
immediate and thorough investigation,
reporting her findings within two
days. AS the complainant was an ex-
soldier, his case was also referred to
the Johnny Baker Post. Commander
B. F. Peery of the Post also made a
thorough search of the records, Sc
cured transcript of the evidence and
sent written report of his conclu-
sions to the president of the Mime
apolis branch. There was nothing
that could be done for the complain
ant. The case is interesting, however,
because of the close cooperation
shown by the two organizations and
the prompt and Jealous work of those
to whom the matter was entrusted.
It's a great thing to own baby,
boy or girl-a greater thing if that
baby prove the most popular among
the many fine Minneapolis babies.
But the finest thing is to know that
your baby is giving its help in behalf
of the organization which is seeking
to make the future of that baby some
thing to look forward to without
dread. This is the Notwithstanding
influence behind the so mothers,
whose babies are entered in our 1927
Baby Contest. Interest has now
grown to white heat. Only one baby
can win the grand prize, but every
one of those babies is surely trying.
It's up to every Minneapolitan to help.
In few days company of so Min
neapolis women and men will begin
the campaign for this years member
ship in the local branch. The record
of the branch during the past year
has been so satisfying that few will
be found to refuse the endorsement
which their membership implies. If
possible give the solicitor your MEM
bership on the first call. He helps
best who helps promptly.

gomery asked me how many inmates
we had in this institution. 1 told
him 372. Told him we have ninety
women that battle in the women's
three squares away
from the old bathroom. to which they
are never permitted to go. Between
seventy and eighty men battle in the
four-tub room and two or three sin
gle tubs. These are the cripples that
are unable to go to the old bathroom.
The remainder of the 372 occupy the
old bathroom. At no time did 1 tell
Mr.. Montgomery or any one else
that $40 battle in the old bathroom.
II called Mr.. Montgomery atten-
tention TO the fact that the present
board OF county commissioners in
herited that present bathroom sit
uation from the former county COM
missioners. | also told Montgomery
that with the present board Of COM
missioners, we asked for an ad-
ditional appropriation to remedy this
situation, but the county council
turned it down. I distinctly remem-
her and told Mr.. Montgomery that
he, with Mr. John Shearer, cut the
appropriation to osuch low amount
that we were unable to make
