 Police Continue Tests
 In several cases the violation Of the laws on equipment was so fla. grant that arrests were made i'm mediately All other owners with poor equipment were ordered 10 make the necessary repairs. The facts of the invest igation have been turned over 10 the state police and plan is now being worked out 10 continue the examinations with po- licemen trained for such work In view of the poor record Of those trucks already examined, it is eX- pected that the continued investiga ton will include practically every truck registered in the state.
 While the examination thus far has not been exhaustive, if has been comprehensive enough. in the opin- ion Of department officials 10 make plausible the assumption that a ma iority of trucks are poorly equipped with safety devices. Tho trucks eX- amined were being operated when called from traffic by the examiner. All commercial types. heavy. med ium and light. were included. Con sideration was also given 10 types Of traffic.

 When she put it down again she saw stephen coming toward her. and the sudden dissipation of her blues, the leap of gladness in her heart terrified her. Falling in love with him?
 The question flashed through her mind, but was unanswered She hadn't time to think. Stephen was quite near nov, looking directly at her. She smiled a welcome, trying

 stephen glanced at him keenly. but he said nothing He was re- minded that he had forgotten about the nosegay he'd intended to send to Mildred every morning. She was the only girl he'd ever thought of sending flowers to. He got a kick out of it. Pamela had caused him to forget, and he couldn't leave the floor just now-he'd do it tomorrow. sure. Flowers, especially the kind he could afford. seemed to belong to Mildred Lawrence.
 He was engaged with woman who was looking at coupe when Pamela returned.

Surely she would see for herself that he couldn't drop a pros- pective buyer at a moments notice. No, indeed" Pamela retorted in stantly T told you I'd come for you"

 Curious, stephen opened it, and discovered an expensive cigarct case within. He snapcd the case shut, put il down on the table and with the tip of a finger slid it over to- ward P1mela's plate.

TWO COLLEGES
MERGE IN TENN.
ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY
AND HOWE COLLEGE IN BIG :,
MERGER AT MEMPHIS.

MEMPHIS, TENN, January IL
Roger Williams University founded
at Nashville. Tenn. In 1866 by the
American Baptist Home Mission
Society of New York and operated
in the recent years under the con
troll of the Baptist Missionary and
Educational Convention OF Tennes-
see was transferred to Memphis and
merged with the Howe College last
week. The combined school will be
known as Roger Williams College.
The faculty and students came in
special passenger and freight equip
ment furnished by the N. c. and
ST. l.. Railway. The Memphis pas
tors met the party at the station and
conveyed them to the Howe build
ings where the school will operate
temporarily pending the erection Of
a thirty acre campus on South Park
way. Students have enrolled from
Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Florida, Texas, Illinois. Missouri.
Michigan, Oklahoma and Indiana.
The trustees found it necessary to
take over some additional buildings
to accommodate the enlarged school.
Memphis bids fair to become an i'm
portant educational centre with

colored section, where the owners
have decided to vacate.
AS a matter Of fact, the occupancy
of houses in the neighborhood Of
white church does not impair its
efficiency for service. Only the
prevailing exercise of race prejudice
which is net combatted by the pastor
and It's officers can do this. Then
the way to meet it Ia for the colored
people themselves to exercise race
pride and refuse to be used as cats
paws" for designing white agents.
1t may be well TO state that
this racial division is now and has
always been in the ha2ds Of white
real estate agents.
They select the localities where
white and colored people shall
reside. They have property that
they rent or sell only to colored
people. The white property owners
are the only ones to overrule this
arrangement. 1t is accordingly
cruelty unjust to penalize colored
people for this and to create the
impression that a "black cloud" so
to speak, is overshadowing and
threatening destruction to any group
of white people in this community.
Stop purchasing white folks
property that is not already pur
chased. Stop renting white folks
property that is not already rented.
Move to northern, eastern or western
sections Of the country, when the
opportunity offers. Two years will
bring about a change, which will be
as phenomenal as it will be remark
able Let us have peace.
