HOOVER ACTS

1t is gratifying to record that
Herbert Hoover has eliminated
the hateful segregation obtain
ing in his department, which
was called to his attention.
Segregation of government
employees on the ground of
color, in the departments at
Washington must not be toler-
ated. 1t is unjust, undemocrat-
ic, un-American and subjects
its victims to humiliation and
embarrassment which this gov
eminent cannot tolerate with
out qualification.

WE WANT TEACHERS

Let us not forget that the
time is drawing near for the
election of teachers. There are
several of our young women
who are eligible both by train
ing and experience to have a
place in our public schools.
They will not be appointed,
however, if we continue to be
idle and do nothing about it.
Let us get busy now and go in
dead earnest, intelligently, but
insistently, for this just recog-
milton of our citizenship.

to sit in on a game with the most

without knowing it and seldom at all.
They can spot every trump in the
deck and can read another's hand

MILAN is not skilled in the game in
which he is sitting. He has got to be
absolutely and complacently obedient
