the Soviet territories which we're
rapidly being extended.
A report from the interior stated
that the total field armies COM

to this report rs per cent of the ar

peasants, 20 per cent were soldiers
who mutinied from the ranks of the

The same cable says that a So

--..--Stevens Hotel in Chicago
New York, Mar. IA Because of the mol.
icy of the Stevens Hotel in Chicago of

National High School Orchestra, which
plays next week before the Music Sup-
ervisors' National Conference, has barr.
ed from participating in the musical ac-
tivities Miss Carolyn Glover of column
bus, Ohio, who had previously been &C.
cepted as member of the orchstra.
The National association for the advan-
cement of Colored People has vigorously
protested this proposed capitalization
to the color bar of the Stevens Hotel,
and has urged that the convention be
transferred to some other hotel, on the
ground that the Stevens Hotel in barr
ing a member Of the orchestra because
of her color had violated it's contract to
house all delegates to the convention.
The N. A. A. C. p, to-day telegraphed
to Miss Mabslle Glenn, Of the board Of

dedt of the Music Supervisors National

the case, and requesting her to take

URBAN LEAGUE ESTIMATES
$4,000 :
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

March IA, 193O-"The number of I'M
employed Negroes is not less than
100000, according to the National
Urban League of New York City whose
Departments of Industrial Relations
and Research have reached this esti-
mate after carefully analysing figures
gathered from all sections Of the CO.
untry and surveys of unemployed people
in several of the principal cities. T.
Arnold Hill, who heads the Industrial
Department Of the League, states that
unemployment among Negroes due to
cause other than inability to find work
will certainly total 100000, exclusive Of
those employed in agriculture. This
figure is more apt to be understated
than exaggerated considering the changes
that have occurred since the last census
and unemployment of various kinds due
to cause other than failure to find en-
ployment."
Continuing, Mr.. Hill says "the dis
parity between Negroes and white people
unemployed in Buffalo is shown from
a report of the New York Department
OF Labor which indicates 1T per cent
unemployment among Negroes as COM
pared with 1913 per cent unemployment
among white males. In Philadelphia
unemployment is reflected from report
made by attendance officers Of the
the Bureau of Compulsory Education
with the Warrior School of Finance and
Commerce. This report shows a relat-
lively heavier proportion of Negroes
unemployed than white workers. The
difference was pronounced in one dist
rick in which 1912 per cent of Negroes
and only 6.S per cent of the white were
unemployed because they could not find
jobs.
The seriousness Of unemployment in
South Carolina is reflected in the follow
ing statement of conditions in one of
it's largest cities. There will be a 80
per cent decrease in farm revenue this
spring among Negro farmers. The
building industary shows stagnation
The largest colored contractors are
working about rs per cent of their US
ual crews, white contractors are show
ing preference for white workers.
Common labor is in poor demand, so per
cent being either idle or only working
fer time.
Large numbers of Negroes are re-
ported in the unemployed ranks of Mil
waukee Communists engaged in street
are making special provisions for 900
married men with families in Cinci-
natl, while 600 single men are being
given nights lodging and help from
relief agencies"

The early spring flowers are in
FULL bloom now. Jonquils and mar
eissus are the most common among

begun to bloom. Jonquils are small
yellow flowers with long, pointed
"Details and whose fragrance is very

The narcissus is another beauti-

The pussywillow, while not a
flower, is admired by all lovers of
flowers because of its soft branches
and bloom.
The return of the birds is well
coined by everyone, also, as the re-
turn of the flowers. Among the
varieties of birds that have been
seen are as following: Robins,
Thrush, Wrens, Woodpeckers, Ca
