suggested a program which would
mean further expansion and more eff
fective work of the organization.
Pointing out the program which
was adopted four years ago at Chica-
go, and again approved at Los An
geles, Mrs. Bethune outlined how
that program had been posecuted to
the letter and the effect it had had
upon the general progress of the as
sociation, which celebrated its 32nd
birthday here last week, in the city
of it's birth.
Most conspicuous among the many
accomplishments, according to Mrs.
Bethune's report, is the establishment
of national headquarters. The or
ganization authorized the expendi-
ture of $4,000 for this purpose, but
through the business sagacity of
those selected by the president to Sc
lect the site, including Mrs. Mary
Church Terrell, Mrs. George S. Will
liams and Miss Mamie Burroughs,
suitable site was secured for $25, 900.
This new acquisition on the part of
the association was dedicated as one
of the features of the biennial ses-
sion which has ben in session for a
week.
Under Mrs. Bethune's administra-
tion the membership has been in
creased, new departments added, and
a scholarship fund initiated. In sug-
gesting a program for the future,
Mrs. Bethune urged that the scholar
ship fund be pushed to completion in
a systematic manner and "that the
fund begin to operate Immediately.
She further advocated the appoint
ment of efficient organizers to visit
the various local, state, and regional
organizations and perfect the organi-
zation and that 1--WE express our ap-
probation for the publicity that has
been given our work through the Ne
gro press and that we pledge them
!our continued and larger support and
Ico-operation." A financial program
was also suggested which would make
the national and it's various branches
more substantial.

FATHER FLANAGAN'S
BOYS BAND PLAYS
FOR CALVIN COOLIDGE

Father Flanagan, who conducts a
Home For Boys at Overlook Farm,
II miles west on the Dodge road, is
on a tour with his boys band. Re-
Gently this band played for the Coo
lidges at their summer home in Wis
consin and was photographed with
the president. The photograph shows
three colored boys as members of the
band. Boys of various nationalities
and creeds are admitted to Father
Flanagan's Home and developed into
fine types of manhood. No racial or
creedal lines are drawn. It is in a
real sense a catholic institution, that
is to say, an institution for all, or the
whole people, which is really what the
word means. This is in striking con-
trast to the policy of some other in
stitutions calling themselves "Chris-
tian" which draw color and race
lines.
Dan Desdunes the well known
bandmaster, has been instructor in
band music at Father Flanagan's
Home for Boys, for many years and
takes great pride in the progress of
his pupils. There are several colored
boys, only one or two of whom are
Roman Catholics, who are inmates of
this home and all boys are accorded
the same privileges and advantages.
Such splendid institution deserves
the generous and whole-hearted sup
port of all our citizens.

Garner asleep and unready to do
battle for the people.
While the house was debating the
tax ball, Mr.. Garner arose and point
ed out that the bill reduced the tax
on stock transfers. That, intimated
Mr.. Garner. was nothing less than
a concession to the New York Stock
Exchange. where men actually paid
100000 for a seat Mr.. Garner was
unable 10 do anything except talk
about that. but he did do several
other things TO the tax bill. which
at this writing appear to have en-
dangered its chances Of being signed
by the president.
"The fact about Mr.. Garner IA
that he knows his taxes. He may
talk a bit Of nonsense. as he ana
about the Stock Exchange and stock
transfers, but when he does he
knows what he is doing. He has
helped frame many tax bills and he
can wander as deeply into intricacies
without being lost as the next one.
Because Of this and also because OF
a somewhat ruthless style Of debate.
he had the republican managers Of
the bill at a distinct disadvantage.

During the tax discussion, the
republicans could have used quite
handily the assistance of Ogden

never shirked q ioust with the Texan
