SMALL NUMBER
CAR LICENSES
APPLIED FOR

A careful check made last evening
of the records of James A. Howell,
deputy county assessor who has been
taking automobile license applications
in the offices at the city hall for the
past month and a half showed that
only 1851 applications have been re-
ceived at the office here in "a days
that the office has been open.
Beginning today Howell will not be
in the office as he starts out into the
county to assess property for taxa
ton. The office however will be
open as usual and A. j. Meier will be
in charge and will take applications
for licenses.
Only 80 applications were taken
Yesterday, the last day of the month

FUNDS RAISED
But THERE'S NO
SAFETY MARGIN

With practically every member o:
the Y. M. G. A. committee that took
part in the drive for the funds
required by the budget having mads
his report, it is accepted as certain
that the amount sought to be raised
$2,5OO-has been subscribed. 1t is
also the forecast that when the final
reports are received by the board OF
trustees at an early meeting it will
show the total amount but so Gloss
to it that there will be really nothing
for safety above that mark.
The board will at once take up
the business of causing certain repairs
to be made and to adding certain
items of equipment that were in
cluded in the budget items when
the amount to be gathered was fixed.
There will be some new features
in the gym, some repair work about
the building and some other items
all to be decided upon by the
trustees.

purpose which the "Y. W." holds as
principal objectives for the year 1928.
She then presented Miss Grace lone

the problems before the workers in the
present campaign as she saw them.
She said that there was a feeling of
responsibility in q community toward
such work as the Y. w. G. A. and
other civic agencies which encouraged
a desire on the part of the people to
want to aid in meeting its expenses
ard that there need be no feeling OF
humility in asking for contributions as
there was no cause for it, She eX-

To Entertain Baptists
At Church Sociia.

One Of the most interesting church
socials ever given at the First Bap-
tist church will be enjoyed tonight.
This entertainment is given and fos-
tered by the pastor. The good people
of Douglas have been so very gener-
Gus to him, and the congregation has
been so loyal to him and his pro-
grams since his coming to this field
just 20 months ago today that he
feels it a joyful privilege to show
even in this meager way some ap-
probation for the kindness shown
him during these months of labor in
the city of Douglas.
Beginning at 7:30 p. m. a real IN
teresting program consisting OF songs,
instrumental music and speeches will
be rendered It is expected that
every available member of the church
will be present and on time. Many
friends who are not members OF our

chief speaker of the evening will be
Rev. D. G. Snyder of Tucson. If you

LOWDEN SENDS
HIS APPROVAL
OF ACTIVITIES

Arizona has made marvellous strides
i'm recent years and is destined to
make still greater strides in the COM
ing years, and I am confident that
the Arizona Industrial congress will
be very potent factor in Arizona's
increasing prosperity" Frank O. Low
den, former governor of Illinois and
one of the outstanding men in public
life in America, declares in a letter
to the industrial congress which has
been made the foreword to bulletin
on Fellowship of Industry which
the state development body has mail
ed to it's members throughout the
state with it's annual report for 1927.
Governor Lowden's letter in which
he emphasizes Arizona'S bright future
is as follows:
ST have been familiar with the work
of the Arizona industrial congress Tor
a number of years and I congratulate
you upon your continued success.
"What 1 like especially, about your
type of organization is that instead
of attempting to cover the whole field
yourselves, you seek rather to feder-
ate all the other useful organizations,
such as the farm bureau, cattle as
sociation, the wool association, the
mining congress, the chambers OF
commerce, ETC., and to work through
them. You thereby achieve unity OF
effort without duplicating the work
that others are doing.
ARIZONA has made marvellous strides
in recent years and is destined 10
make still greater strides in the COM
ing wears and am confident that
.tlle Arizona industrial congress Will
be a very potent factor in Arizona's
increasing prosperity.
! with all good wishes for your
future, I ami, very sincerely yours,

LAST STOLEN
CAR RECOVERED
DOWN in TEXAS

Local officers heaved sighs OF relief
and relaxed last night for their record
had been saved. The relief came in
the form of a telegram from j. A. T1lley
awav off in Del Rio, Texas, saying
that he had recovered the stolen Hud-
son coach which was taken from b. J.
Darnades of this city on the ngnt OF
Jan. 25.
Tilley is a customs inspector in the
Del Rio district and reports that ne
found the car abandoned on the high
way The finding of this car wipes the
slate clean for out of hundreds OF cars
reported stolen out of this city every
wear this one was missing longer and
was more of puzzle to the officers
than any other one ever taken.
The officers knew that the machine
had gone east. No car has ever been
taken completely away from this dis
trict without being recovered so tnaC
the police and sheriffs men worked
frantically on this case. The car Went
east through Lordsburg and then DIS
appeared. Police began to believe that
the thief had driven it into a crack IN
the earth and been swallowed up.
The car had been abandoned at Del
Rio on a highway with two flat tires
but otherwise uninjured, the message
from Tilley states. The officers have
now turned their attention to catching
the man who stole this machine Tor
they want to find out from him how
he got so far without being caught.
The only car unrecovered, that was
ever stolen from Douglas, so far as
the records show is known to be in
Mexico at the present time and the
police are only waiting the proper time
to secure its return.

OUR FIRST PRINCIPAL

Chicago citizens in general, and in
educational circles, in particular,
were pleased to have learned of the
appointment of Mrs Maudelle Bous-
field, dean of girls at Wendell Phil
lips High school and teacher of math-
ematics in that institution, to the
principalship of the Keith school,
Thirty-fourth and Dearborn streets.
Mrs. Bousfield has earned her pro-
motion on merit, genuine scholarship
and high efficiency in her chosen pro-
fession and her unselfish interest in
the civic affairs of the community
to which she has unselfishly contrib
uted much.
Not only our own group, but our
best citizens, of all groups, sanction
the wisdom of her selection and ap-
pointmen by the department Of edu-
cation as our first representative to
this position of honor, trust and re-
sponsibility.
Her achievement should be an in
spiration to our girls and women,
as it marks an advance to high peak
of achievement in the school system
of Chicago for the first time, mark
ing distinct epoch that will be in
corporated as very important part
of the history or our advancement in
educational circles here.
Mrs. Bousfield is to be both com
mended and congratulated upon her
perseverance and her triumphs. Her
achievements reflect honor and credit
upon the race as well as merited dis
tinction upon herself.-The Chicago

The most serious problem confront
ing the Negro today is that of secur
ing regular employment. This prob
lem is not local. The National Urban
league reports that never in it's his
tory have such intensive efforts to
get jobs for Negroes secured such
few results.
10 bread line in Chicago the 9TH
er day l noted that one third of the
men awaiting the soup and sandwich
were colored Of course, there is I'M
employment among whites, also, and
their condition is serious as well.
But with Negroes, because they are
the last hired and the first fired,
some special attention must be given
the correction of their condition.
Whites will find jobs as soon as con-
ditions become better-Negroes, may
be.
So in 1928, it would be wise for
Negroes first to get jobs, or hold the
ones they have, then work steadily
and faithfully as never before and
lastly, save some of what they make.
You can't solve the problem of
unemployment by carousing all night,
coming late or laying off the next
day or poking out your mouth at the
boss because he checks up on the
quality of your work. There are too
many Negroes and white men waiting
for your job. He does not have to
argue with you. With the crook of
a finger or ten words in a classified
I'D section he can bring to his shop a
flock of hungry, willing men. So
hang on to the job and work.

mot only has he made possible

ings, four Y. w. c. A. buildings, and
nearly 1000 rural school buildings,
but he has so conditioned his gifts
that the two races are drawn into CO.

ings and into cooperative operation
and control of them after they are
built" declares Mr.. Tobias.
Data on new buildings for colored
people shows that a 100000 build
ing at Buffalo is nearly completed, a
.$195, 900 building for Dayton, Ohio,
is under way, and funds have been
pledged for a $4,000 building in
st. Louis, and $4,000 for one in
New York City. 1t is stated that
these are the second buildings in the
two latter cities to be erected in part
with funds given by Mr.. Rosenwald.
Buildings campaigns are in pros
pect at Evanston, Illinois; Hartford,
Connecticut; Harrisburg, Pennsyl-
vania, and Jacksonville, Florida.
The building for colored men and
boys at Los Angeles, Cal, completed
in 1926, is regarded by some archi-
tectural authorities as the most beau
tiful Y. M. c. A. building in the
country. Designed by Paul Williams,
"a Negro graduate of the University
of California, its combined beauty
and practical character were such
that Williams was called upon to de-
sign the association building planned
for Hollywood.
Buildings devoted to service for
colored men and boys are located at
some twenty points. Altogether, Mr..

toward the erection of Y. M. C. A.

that we are somewhat dense

MORE FRIENDS THAN FOES

Every time you hear some
foolish members of our race
make the statement that all
white people are enemies of
colored people, rebuke them
and nail it as lie. Were it
not that our people have thou
sands of friends among the
white people our case would be
hopeless. Millions of dollars
are contributed yearly by gen
erous-hearted white people for
the betterment of our race.
These contributions are for ed
ucational, religious, charitable
and general welfare purposes,
to say nothing of the encour-
agement which is given to in
dividuals by sympathetic inter-
est, counsel and advice, by en-
ployment and gratuities. Think,
too, of the personal service
which is being rendered and
has been rendered by the white
people of America, not only of
the North but of the South, to
our race.
If we were all as true to one
another as many of our white
friends are to us, we would be
much better off than we are,
don't you think SO?
One of our own poets has
beautifully voiced a truth
which we do we'll to remem-
Der:
Though ills have been and ills
there are
That we have still to face;
We have more friends than
foes

Now, there are other matters to
which we might address ourselves in
1928 as we have done in years past.
These need little more enumeration.
Resolutely, unitedly we must fight
lynching, housing segregation, dis
criminatory school provisions, flag
rant injustices in the courts and all
the thousand and one petty irrita-
tions which have become our daily
lot. Not only must we talk about
these conditions and draw up resolu-
lions upon them, but we must pay the
price, in money and time, that it
takes to remove them.
For the paler brethren, 1928 is
just another year for them to see
how far they may go-how more
magnificent mansions they may build.
For us, it is twelve months ahead

get ahead, but to get ahead while
