The governments of the world are
alarmed at the manifestations all
over the world because of the Sacco
and Vanzetti executions. Radical
ism is gaining foothold mostly be-
cause of hard times all over. Men
are always disconnected when work
is scarce and wages are low. Among
discontented men trouble always is
easily made. Sacco and Vanzettis ex-
ecutions would have scarcely made a
ripple in the news if times were good.
Radicalism thrives on hard times and
dies in good times. A man with a
full stomach and good wages goes
to sleep when the trouble-maker
comes around. The hungry man,
lean and strinsy, keeps awake, plot
ting how to fill the stomach. You
never saw a fat man who was a real
anarchist.
Segregation aImos. universally is
condemned by the American Negroes.
Yet it is they who practice more seq
regation than any other people. 1t
is colored this and colored that in
nearly everything we do. We set our
selves off sharply from other people
and do not mix enough. Some vol
untary segregation is good; too much
is not better. Some mixing is neces-
sary; too much is not good.
One of the most difficult jobs one
can undertake in this great North
west is to pursuade Negro men and
women to spend their pennies with
other Negroes. Our boys and girls
never will obtain a chance to do any
thing except wait tables and black
shoes for white folks until we, the
older ones, provide something for
them to do. There is no use expect
ing the white people or the Japanese
or Chinese to throw their own folks
out into the street to go hungry in
order to give one of US a place IN
their businesses. Yet that seems to
be what we wait for and expect
something totally contrary to MAJ
ture. When white boy graduates,
as a general thing among the middle
class whites, the work he is going to
do already has been provided and
either his father, mother, uncle, cousin
or friend start him off either by
giving him a job or helping him to get
one. The same with girl. The col
ored boy or girl may be the smartest
in the class, may win all kinds of hon
ors at commencement, but when he
or she comes out the graduating par
ty is about all he or she can expect.
The next day is passed downtown,
asking one white firm after another
for a Job on the strength of the grad !
uation certificate. This means moth |
ing to the white man-not necessari- ]
ly because he is prejudiced, but his I
wife's younger sister wants job and
unless he finds her one he has her |
on his hands to feed, or it is his own
cousin or step-sister's daughter he
has to provide for one way or anoth- |
er.
White mems businesses are built
up in order to support white mems

humiliation lightly. She had yet to

beautiful. Her voice was sweet and
clear. She watched Klesalek, re-

He seemed gratif1ed. While the
class giggled and fiirted about them,
he went over and over the lines,
patiently bringing out new shades
of meaning.
When they had finished he asked
Diana to read the part.
She felt the class hush to hear

conscious of their critical eyes. She
read the lines badly, stumbling over
the unfamiliar words. Klesalek
stopped her.

Diana, looking at the determined
little chin, realized that here was a
difference from the girls she had
known at boarding school.
They dressed alike, rouged, flirted
and discussed men, but under their
sleek bobbed hair these girls had
ambition. And 1t made them twice
as interesting.

smile Of interest.
But the half hour with Shepherd
Seton was the climax Of her day.

RI HERE followed an hour Of

desire to laugh at the ridicu-
lous raging rocks with Shivering
shocks" they chanted so seriously.
It was weeks before she realized
that these same stupid exercises
were giving her richness and depth
of tone.
She found that the director, an
English actor with a marvelouSly
pure voice, had a dignity and gentle
kindness which outweighed his
waistcoat with its row of purple but
tons. He repaid her attention with
q quiet smile, which sent her spirits
soaring.
After class she conhded her adj
miration to the friendly Beachy, who
answered, ooh, sure, Standish is an
old dear. But wait until you see

Beachy had shown signs Of rest
lessness during the last hour. She
owned and fidgeted. At the begin

r. ssalek she moved her seat beside

sctionately, my Charles Ray"

clipped and terrible.
It was all he could do to read his

FIND CACHE OF
ART TREASURES
Pieces Valued at $4,000

BN United Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Fragile
works Of art in silver, gold, bronze
and jade and tapestries were in the
hands of the police today, the re-
suit Of a search OF an unoccupied
room.
The articles, valued at $150,0OO,

in moth balls in an old trunk. De-
tectives had been watching the
room three days, suspecting it was
headquarters for a gang Of art
thieves. Impatient at the delay,
they broke down the door and
found the valuables.
Detectives believed the pieces,
