This and That
BY Charles E. Tracewell.

Those who like cats feed their furry
friends well.
Dinner is the high spot in the daily
life of many an honest Tom and
Tabby. 90
A counterman in a restaurant
pointed out guest of the establish
ment at distant table.
DO you see that MANI" he said,
pointing his white. jacketed arm. There
was something in the tone Of his voice
which indicated that owners were to
come.
THAT man comes in here and orders
two pork chops for himself, but do
you think that is alp" He waited for
the effect he desired to achieve. Then
he achieved it.
mo, sir-ee," he went on. '"Then he
orders two more chops for that cat.
Whatever he orders for himself, he
gets another order to take back to
that cat"
"Gives the cat exactly what he
eats. eh?" some one chimed in.
Yes. sir" said the gentleman be-.
hind the counter. do you know what
he did? He came in here last Sunday
and ordered half chicken for him
self, and then he ordered another one
for that cat.
THAT cat eats the best there is. I
tell you: That cat eats better than
lots of folks"
So it may be seen that "that cat"
whatever his name may be. lives or

Randolph Says Pullman
Co. Intimidates Porters

NEW YORK. - Elaborate ban
uuets staged by the Pullman Com.
pany, to which its employees are
forced to come, comprise a new me-
thod of intimidation of the Negro
porter body in an effort to compel
them to repudiate the Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car .Porters, said A. Phil
ip Randolph, general organizer of
that body, who made the direct
charge that one or two porters have
been discharged following banquets
in various districts.
Mr.. Randolph charges that these
banquets originated in Washington !;
that a careful check is kept of those
in attendance; that the men are re-
quired and forced to sign petitions
repudiating the brotherhood, and that
men have been pulled off their lines
or discharged in order to intimidate
others who did not sign the petitions.
But, according to the general or
ganizer, these petitions have famed
the fire of revolt in a number of in
stances an Omen have refused out
right to sign them. In other cases,
signers have voluntarily signed affi-
davits to the effect that they acted
only to protect their jobs.

DARROW OBJECTS

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Clarence

ton ID. Bakers attack against Mayor
William Hale Thompson of Chicago
when the former Secretary of War
spoke last Friday at Washington
University, to reporters Sunday night
in the lobby of the Hotel Belmont.

ported as having said, "a flaming
demagogue organized the ignorance

or 100000 blacks and took over

In the first place, ".said MIR. Dar-
row. there are no more than 200,-
600 Negroes in Chicago In the
second place, il all the Negroes had

still would have won by $4,000 or
10000 votes.

ed, ''and | want to see them get a

Most of Chicago's Negroes. he ex-
planned, had voted for William Z.
Dever the year Dever was elected
He said that the Negro vote had
switched quite properly to Thompson
in the last election because of "the
unfair attack against Negroes made
by those interested in Dever's cam.
paign."
Mr.. Darrow did not say what these
attacks were, but IL is known that
on March 1st last Dever was ac
cused of having caused the arrest
and Imprisonment of a Thousand
Negroes in two wards on the South
Side that had been won to Thomp'
son. 1t is also known that on Feb
ruary 16 last he told Norman Hap.

Rogers Says Holland Is the Wettest
And Dntiest Country On Earth

dividuals and material into service
in time of danger.
Since water is so near the surface
all the houses in Holland are built
on wooden piles driven deep into the
earth, fact that caused Erasmus,
the witty Dutch reformer, to say that
he knew a country in Europe whose
inhabitants roasted on the tops of
trees like chickens.
Kept Kaiser Out
But the Dutch have an added rea-
son. The weakness of Holland is al
so its strength in many ways. The
rivers that imperil its existence have
brought down the rich surface soil of
Central Europe and deposited it here
OF the most fertile countries on the
globe.
Again, this natural enemy, all that
is necessary as a military defense, for
in the case of invasion, all that is me-
cessary is to open the dikes and let
in few feet of water. Then no
army would be able to cross for the
canals and deep drains that cut the
country in such large number would
be just so many pits as Louis XIV
found out when he set out with his
invading army of 100000 men. Per-
haps this, too, is what kept out the
Kaiser.

ENTIRE CREW OF
CAFE FIRED FOR
jim CROW PLAN

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. "a
When informed that the manage
ment of one of his restaurants re-
fused to serve hungry colored Gus
toner, Louis G.. Baurle, proprietor
of restaurants operated in the Read
ing Terminal, discharged the whole
crew there, ther-s remained closed
for two days until he ceuld obtain
crew that carried out his orders.
The identity of the colored patron
was not made known He is said to
have entered the place after alight-
ing, from a train. When he seated
himself and made ready to order
something to eat, he was informed
by the waiter that he could not be
served because of his color.
Refused BY Manager
The prospective customer then
appealed to the manager and was
again turned down. Miss Smith. Mr..
Baurle's secretary, was the next one
confronted by the man. Mr.. 'Baurle
was at home at the time. Informed
of what had taken place over the
phone, he sent back the order to
"fire the whole crew and close the
place until we can get another
crew."
And to make matters worse, Mr..
Baurle was unable to get another
crew for two or three days, but the
place remained closed and he con-
tinued to lose money rather than re-
employ those who had insulted the
man.
II don't think that it's worth
writing about said Mr. Baurle
when questioned by two reporters
who had heard of the incident
through Mr.. Edmund Vawter. the
head waiter. Everyone should feel
that way about such things. What
has mans color got to do with his
rights and privileges? I'll always
serve colored people as long as they
conduct themselves as anybody else.'

Race Spends Is Million
In Funeral Bills

BALTIMORE, Md.-With the av-
erage cost of funerals placed at 500
and more than 100000 deaths yearly,
the race group spends $4,000, 900
annually for burial bills, according
to X. r. Reed, executive secretary of
the National Negro Funeral Direc-
tors Association. Mr.. Reed says that
while there are more than $500 men
and women of the Negro race en-
gagged in the business of directing
funerals, they are at a disadvantage
because they have to confine them
selves to race patronage, while white
directors, paying the same taxes and
fees, have both races to draw upon.
He estimates the business done by
white directors at $4,000, 600, 900 an
nually.
Although there are 81 Negro fu-
neral directors in Baltimore, Mr.. Reed
said in one week recently white fu-
neral directors conducted II Negro
funerals.

ROTTERDAM. - Holland is the
wettest country on earth; not only is
it the home of the famous Holland
gin, but it is like a leaky ship. Let
the pumps stop working and it would
soon disappear under water.
The Dutch have a saying: "God
created the world, all with the excep-
tion of Holland, which was made by
the Dutch themselves" And this is
no eXaggeration. Holland is really a
vest swamp that has been made into
habitable land by the energy of its
people.
Three River Deltas
Look on the map and you will see
that three great rivers of Central
Europe, the Rhine, the Meuse, and
the Scheldt. spread their waters over
Holland, which is, after all but the
delta of these rivers, a deposit of
earth that has been brought down by
them through the ages. Napoleon. in
seizing Holland, pithily justified
himself by saying that Holland was
but French soil brought down by
these rivers.
Dig O. foot or SO in almost any part
of Holland and you strike water. The
result is that pumps, called polders.
are at work in many places, day and
night drawing off the water into the
canels. Some of these pumps are
windmills. aided sometimes by steam.
Water Department
Life in Holland, in short, is one
long battle against water. In ad-
dition to fire department there is a
water department, whose chief is
known as the dyk-graaf. This off
cial has unlimited powers to press in

Dixie Whites And Blacks
Are Kin Folks "-Pickens

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 21.-
William Pickens, former dean of
Morgan College here, now field sec
retary of the N. A. A. C. p. kept
the Open Forum in an uproar for
over an hour Sunday afternoon.
The Forum was held at Carpenters
Hall, Eutaw street, near Monument.
Mr.. Pickens discussed the labor situa-
tion as it affects colored people.
Refuting the century old false
hood that the Negro won't work, Mr..
Pickens declared that a larger pro-
portion of colored people than whites
are calmly employed according to the
United States census figures with 60
per cent of the women who work are
colored women.
Circus
Discussing the complaint of some
employers that colored people will
leave their jobs to attend a circus,
Mr.. Pickens said that in many south
ern towns the average pay of col
ored worker is only fifty cents day
and that if one man left fifty-cent
job he could certainly get another.
Anybody" he declared, "would
leave fifty cent job in order to sec
a dollar show"
"When Henry Ford gave Negroes
Jobs at six dollars a day in Detroit"
he added, nobody ever heard of
them leaving work to go to circus"
Social Equality
On the question of social equality,
Mr.. Pickens said he entered dining
car to eat, not to sit beside any white
person. Whites across the aisle, he
said, often worried more about him

ALL ATLANTA
In MOURNING
FOR PUCILIST


ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 21.-(Spe-
cial)-The' sun shone with fitful
splendor today as thousands of all
races and ranks thronged Atlanta
streets fer the paying of the last
tribute of love and admiration to
Theodore Tiger" Flowers, pugilist,
whose skill as a boxer won for him
a place on the topmost rung of the
Ladder of Fame. More than 100,-
600 persons, white and black, had
passed today through the doors of
Flowers palatial home on Simpson
road to witness the remains which
lay in bronze silver casket, lined
with gold. During this period a
constant guard of honor was MAIN
tained by members of Gate City
lodge No. 54, Colored Elks, Of
which Flowers was popular men,
ber This vigil was maintained up
to the hour of leaving for the fun
eral service, which was held this
afternoon at the City Auditorium.
When it became known that the
Colored Methodist Episcopal Church
of which Flowers was member and
officer, would be unable to accom-
modate the throng wishing to at
tend the funeral service the Mayor
and City Council offered the use Of
the newly built City Auditorium.
The streets over which the funeral
procession passed were throngad
with a silent host as the cortege
passed. The funeral march was
headed by the Colored Elks' Band
playing sacred tunes appropriate to
the occasion. A uniformed group
of lodge members formed an escort
following the band, and then eight
automobiles laden with the most ex-
tensive and gorgeous floral display
Atlanta has ever seen. A floral Of
fering. that attracted much attention
was a tremendous piece, Gates
Aiar" which came from Harry Wills,
the famous pugilist. Immediately
behind the eight machines bearing
the flowers came the hearse. The
easket was covered with a huge
blanket Of red and white roses, the
tribute of Walker Miller, who was
Flowers manager. The ceremonies
at the Auditorium were marked by
simplicity. The musical numbers
included Lead Kindly Light" Face
to Face" and Come Ye Disconso-
late" kilograms of coincidence
we're read from all parts of the
country and from foreign lands 1ri-
butes were spoken by representative
white citizens. Flowers pastor elo-
quently eulogized the former middle
weight champion. He told how
Flowers was interested in the civic
and religious life of Atlanta. "The
race has sustained a great loss and
the church has lost its most faithful
member" he said. From the audi
torium the funeral procession wend-
ed its way to Lincoln Memorial
Park, where the body of the dead
pugilist was deposited in SPECIAL
vault. Flowers is survived by his
wife and daughter, Mrs. Willie Mae
Flowers and Miss Verna Flowers;
his mother and father. Mr.. and Mrs.
Aaron Flowers; two brothers.
Messrs. Carl and Cecil Flowers, and
three sisters, Mrs. Osee Williams,
