STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
ON BUILDING AN INCOME

AS Aunt Emmy came out of the saw
ings bank she met Young George
Oliver.
We'll, WE'LL" he said, its funny to
see you coming out OF savings bank,
Aunt Emmy. thought only poor
folks like me had money in savings
banks-people like you just clip
coupons!"
"Have you saving bank account?"
countered Aunt Emmy.
"Well, er-I suppose haven't" he
admitted. "You see. its hard to save
money when you're first married.
Somehow there never saems to be
enough money to go 'round-let alone
to put in a savings bank"
"You never will have if you don't
get started" interrupted Aunt Emmy.
you should make your weekly saw
ings deposit. no matter how small, the
first claim on your salary after paying
your bills | make my weekly de-
posit in this bank faithfully put
away certain sum regularly"
"You can!" Nat commented.
at is more habit than you would
suppose" Aunt Emmy continued.
ANY one can do it who is willing to
let other things wait. I began putting
a little money in a savings bank years
ago when it was no joke to save few
pennies. I remember what a wonder
full thrill l got the first time saw my
interest entered in my bank book.
There was money that my money had
earned all by itself. After that it was a
sort of game with me to put certain
sum in the bank, even if had to do
without things | would have enjoyed
having. Now l realize what it means
to keep your money busy earning all
the time so | continue to put little
in the savings bank regularly and
after it accumulates, draw some out
and invest in safe securities that pay
higher rate Of interest than savings
All the time, you see, the money il
working for me.
"Of course, when the, sum is small
1t earns little, but if you start young
as you and Molly are, it is almost like
magic the way it mounts up after a
few years-then when your savings
get grown up into a real investment
they earn a real income"
81 never thought of it in that light,
said George.
TRY it-and see for yourself how
1t works." urged Aunt Emmy. 'Have
you ever thought how nice 1t would
be to have few dollars ready for use
in case of an emergency? Accidents
and illnesses do happen. Or suppose
you had an opportunity to buy some
thing you knew you could sell at g
profit and you had to let the oppor
tunity slip for the lack of few hun
bred dollars. You and Molly woult
never miss five dollars a week-and /
you keep at 1t, it will work wonders!'
you're right, it would" exclaimed
George. "Tll talk to Molly tonight
Aunt Emmy, and see If we can't re
wise our expenditures"
"There would be a whole lot less
family trouble and worry over money
matters If every young couple did the
same thing early in life," Aunt Emm,
said. "'Start young Is the magic
slogan"

Andrew Raftavold of the Valentine
country was thrown from a horse and
had his leg broken in three places.
MIR. Raftavold had to drag himself
about half mile to his home and
then to the barn. He opened the barn
doors to allow the cattle to get out
and then dragged himself to a truck
standing in the barnyard and crawled
in. When reaching the gate he drove
through it to save himself the pain
of getting out and back in. He drove
to a neighbours home and was imme-

compensated for by using more SEN
sitive receiver.
A loop antenna consisting Of a
dozen turns of wire on frame two
feet or so square may be used, pro-
vided the receiver is designed to OPP
crate with such an antenna. The loop
has the added advantage that it can
eliminate, by virtue of it's directional
characteristics, the atmospherics that
come from a specific direction.
Another means of reducing inter-
ference from atmospheric is to use
a very selective receiving set. Radio
frequency amplification with sharp
iy tuned transformer is helpful. Well
designed regenerative sets also are
very effective.
Another method makes use of a
long antenna buried a short distance
underground.
Special observations made by the
bureaus experts in the northern part
of the United States showed that
static was most frequent in June and
the least frequent in January.
Trouble from static is experienced
less and less as you go down the
wavelength scale, until at around 10
meters there is practically no such
interference.
With the large number Of high
powered stations now operating, it
looks as though static will be less
formidable this summer than ever be-
fore.

Aircraft Assigned Three
Exclusive Channels

Aircraft radio is assigned three
bands of exclusive channels under the
assignments of the recent interna-
tional radiotelegraph convention
drawn up at Washington. Recogniz-
ing the growth of commercial avia-
ton and the need of this means of
communication and guidance for air
craft in flight, the conference agreed
to assign $50 to $50 meters ex-
clusively for aircraft communications;
$50 to 1880 meters to radio beacons,
and ITO to $50 meters to direction
finding.
Aircraft, according to the aeronau-
tics branch of the department of com
merce, may also use certain other
wave lengths if they do not interfere
with other services, including the 600
meter channel which is the ship S 0 S

What We Need

What we need is constantly being
discussed among the various group
organizations but no one seems to
advance the proper solution or offer
a workable suggestion. The truth
about the whole situation is, we need
everything. However, cooperation
in a constructive way would do lot
toward helping to solve the problem.
About the most needed thing Ne
groes of Seattle need is an institu-
ton of credit, where they can fl
nance their properties. A finance
corporation, saving and loan or an
investment company, is crying
need Just now. So many of US can't
get loans to make improvements,
but an institution of our own would
afford us the means. Thru coop
erative effort in this direction, 9TH
err needed businesses that enter into
the development of community
would result. There should be a
first class photoplay house some
where on Jackson street, owned and
operated by Negroes. There is need
for a modern building to take care
of our fraternal orders and our pro-
fessional group. SO many things we
need we would get il we would just
learn to pool our resources. The
Negro here is farther behind with all
of his opportunities, than the Negro
of the South who is oppressed.
Somebody ought to start a build
ing and loan association-it's need.

Vote Bosses

Some time ago we made a faint
stab at what we thought an unneces-
sary evil and one that can be cor
rected, and that is the practice of
white jobholders assuming the auth
ority to come into the colored dis
tricts and boss affairs. Especially is
this true at this season when candi-
dates are seeking Negro suffrage,
there is always some petty, would-be
white politician who takes it upon
himself to tell candidates that he
has the black vote "sewed up" All
we have to say is, those candidates
who trust their success to would be
white ward bosses are certainly due
to be surprised on election day.
There isn't white man in town who
can control all of the black votes
and these same self-appointed politi-
cal despots can't raise = corporal's
guard among their own and in or
der to hold their jobs they would try
to make people believe that they own
the Negro Vote. No man owns the
races vote and when the time for
Bosses arrives, we have Negroes
that are capable of filling the bill.

She even described one so minutely
that the authorities arrested one
fellow as answering the description.
1t was the good fortune of the state
that 1t could garner sufficient cir
cumstantial evidence to convict the
lady. So far as she was concerned,
any poor colored fellow who an
swered her description could have
been electrocuted for the crime of
which she was found guilty.
Ruth Snyder and Judd Gray
swore that 1t was an Italian robber
who slew Snyder. You see they
played on the prejudice against Ital-
ians. Perhaps they could not find
any colored suspects handy to lay 1t
upon. And that is the true secret
of why the jails are full Of colored
people. They are the easiest to lay
charge against. But when they come
to trial it will be found that often
they have been arrested for not
much else except the sin of being
colored.
