which latter place a sales force Of
approximately rs persons carry on
wholesale and retail distribution of
the enamel signs, many of which are
disposed of to transportation lines.
Orders have been filled from points
as far distant as Porto Rico.
A 30-ton gas and oil fired enamel
ing furnace, valued at $4,000, and
capable of producing a temperature
of 1000 degrees F., is the principal
implement of value at the plant.
This furnace is said to produce an
enamel sign that is virtually inde-
structible.
Twenty-Five Negro experts, en-
ployed at the plant, have been care
fully selected and trained, each being
an adept at his particular occupation.
In its entirety this industry, stategic-

ROAD BUILDERS
Election Is a Recognition of
MinnesOta's Road Build
ing Progress.

Minnesota was honored by the
election of its highway commissioner,
c. M. Babcock, as president of the
American Road Builders association
at its annual meeting at Chicago last
week. Mr.. Babcock was the only
nominee for the Office. The election
is a recognition of the road building
progress made in Minnesota during
the last decade.
The American Road Builders asso-
citation is composed of federal, state,
county and municipal highway off,
cials, highway engineers, contractors
and machinery manufacturers. 1t is
the largest organization of road
builders in the world, and the annual
meeting is the clearing house for all
the latest information on improved
road building methods and road prog
ress. The meeting was attended by
delegates from every state in the
Union and from several South Ameri-
can republics and European nations.
Mr.. Babcock was formerly presi-
dent Of the American Association of
State Highway officials. This or
ganization is also national in scope
but more limited in membership.

GROCER ROBBED
DESPITE SHOTGUN
While En- Route to His Home,
Bandits Hold Up Negro;
Shots Exchanged.
preston News Service)

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 21.-M. D.
Thompson, grocer at 1928 Cumber-
land St., was robbed by bandits early
Tuesday night as he was en- route to
his home several blocks away from
his store. The robbers obtained be-
tween SIS and 500 and a shotgun
from Thompson, he told police.
Mr.. Thompson had been reading of
the many holdups recently and de-
cided to carry his shotgun along for
protection. AS the robbers approach
ed him in a dark spot at 9th and
Cumberland Sts., Thompson fired the
shotgun but missed his mark. The
robbers retaliated with shot, it also
missing. The robbery then was COM
mitted, after which the highwaymen
fed with the money and the gun.
Patrolman Wilborn and Driver Hen
son Investigated the robbery and ar
rested two men but released them
when Thompson failed to identify
them. Thompson was unable to give
a good description of the, bandits.

Vernon, Calf, Jan. 21.-Boxing
fans of the West evidently believe
that "Tiger" Flowers was robbed of
his title if the reception given Flow
ers and Walker at the Vernon arena
is considered.
Tuesday night at the regular box
ing events, just before the Callahan
lawson main event, "Tiger" Flowers
was invited into the ring to be in
troduced to the audience. His ap-
pearance brought a deafening round
of cheers, but Mickey Walker in
troduced was greeted with "boos," "
Kisses and the cry of robber.
"Tiger" Flowers, great sportsman
that he is, then climbed back into
the ring and also pulled Walker back
with him and shook hands, showing
that he did not blame Walker for
the raw decision in Chicago.

Successful COl0red Factory

Washington.-Palmyra, N. j., is
justly proud of an enameling plant
operated and owned by Negro ex-
perts and skilled and unskilled work
ers. The plant, which was put into
operation about four years ago by a
corporation whose capital stock at
that time amounted to $125,000, is
progressing in quality and quantity
of output.
Covers Large Space.
Conveniently situated on its own
unencumbered land, the dimensions
of which are $50 feet by 200 feet,
the enameling factory runs parallel
to the Pennsylvania Railroad, whose
side tracks and spurs carry the out
going shipments of enamel signs, de-
signed, alloyed, manufactured and
shipped by a complete force of Negro
workers. The factory itself contains
about 10000 square feet of floor
space, upon which are located such
essential departments as stamping,
picking, dipping, spraying. drying.
burning, stenciling and shipping. Ad-
vanced processes in the manufacture
of enamel products are worked out
in a well-equipped laboratory, where
chemical and other experiments de-
termine the fitness of the proposed
product for manufacture and use.
At present the plant is manufac-
turing enamel signs, only; but prep
arations are being made for the in
stallation of a new furnace, specially
adapted to the manufacture of kitch-
en- utensils and varying types of
enamel ware. The principal present
market gateways for enamel products

(Preston News Service)

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 21-The
memory of the mother who gave to
the world the greatest of all cham
pions of freedom and tolerance will
be enshrined in national memorial
in Indiana. Mrs. Nancy Hanks Lin
coin, the mother of Abraham Lin
coin, will be honored by the state at
Lincoln City, Spencer county, where
Lincoln's youth was spent. The Lin
coins moved to that city in 1916, and
the Great Emancipator lived there
from his seventh to his twenty-first
birthday. Mrs. Lincoln died there.
Governor jackson Acts.
The Indiana Lincoln Union, a COM
mittee of 1875 prominent persons,
was appointed by Governor Jackson
to carry out the memorial project.
Governor Jackson said: "An ordi-
nary marker near Lincoln City in
Spencer county betokens the site Of
the vanished log cabin in which Lin
coins early life was spent, while
across the dusty country road
wooded tract harbors the last sleep
ing place of the great Civil War
presidents first friend, counselor
and supporter-his mother. I pro-
pose that the people of this state, in
unison, rear national shrine ex-
pressing our deathless devotion to
the soul of the great departed and
his mother"
Illinois, where Lincoln rests in
eternal sleep under a beautiful me-
mortal; Kentucky, his birthplace and
the District of Columbia, all have
shrines to Abraham Lincoln, but In
diana, the scene of many of the sto-
ries of his railsplitting feats, has
scarcely a marker in his memory.

WHEATLEY HOUSE
DENIED USE OF
HIGH SCHOOL GYM
Principal Told Head Resident
That Gymnasium Was in
Use Every Night.
20 Needed For Class
Persistent Work of w. Gertrude
Brown and C0-WOrkers OBJ
tains Permission.

The Phyllis Wheatley House, Min
.neapolis, has been denied the use of
the gym and swimming pool at
Franklin Jr. High on account of lack
of interest shown. Indifference
shown towards Negroes upon the
part of the principal of the high
school some two years ago, was over
come by the persistent effort of Miss
w. Gertrude Brown, Head Resident
of Phyllis Wheatley House.
Statement to Echo.
In statement to the Echo, Miss
Brown states that:
1.-TWO years ago Phyllis Wheatley
House applied to the Principal of
Franklin Jr. High for the use of the
gym and swimming pool. 1 was told
that every night was taken.
81 visited Franklin Jr. High one
night and asked the janitor in charge
to let me see the pool if it did not
disturb the class.
"He stated there was no group in
the pool but would gladly let me see
it. then asked him how many
nights were taken. He replied, only
Wednesday nights were in use.'
81 reported the matter to my
board. The chairman, Mrs. Oaks,
and Mrs. James Paige Immediately
called the Supt. of Schools and asked
for a conference. AS a result the
use Of the school was grs2ted.
For two years we have used the
school with splendid success. We at
tempted the class again this year.
Unfortunately, we were not able to
get 20 men (this number being re-
quired by the school board for use Of
the GYM from population of near
ly 5000 who were interested. Be-
cause of the lack of interest the
privileges were revoked.
Considering the distance, st. Paul
responded nicely. Minneapolis should
not depend upon st. Paul for its at
tendance.
"The instructor, a Book student,
gave his time to this group gratu-
itous.
81 don't think I have ever hated
thing quite as badly as did to
lose the use of this building when
it was so difficult to secure it in the
beginning.
Can we justly demand something
bigger and better when we do not
take advantage of what we have?
Shall continued lack of interest on
our part close other doors of oppor-
tunity to us?"

Hope, Ark, Jan. 21-M. l.. John
