Litch6eld is about to lose one of its historic buildings The county jail which has stood at the corner of West and North streets for well over century is about to be sold. At meeting of the legislators of Litehheld county this week it was voted to sell the present jail and acquire new site where more modern institution might be erected. An appropria- ton of S200.O00 was voted flor the project. This money plus what is obtained from the sale of the present building and land IS hoped to cover the expense of the new jail. As yet no site has definitely been selected. although it is known that many have been inspected. One provision is that the jail must be located on a main road. That gives plenty of lee- way as there are at least four main roads lead- ing right into the center of the fashionable Litehfeld Hills resort. It is to be hoped that the old elm in front of the jail. used as whipping post years ago will be preserved.

SHREVEPORT Ua.) Jan. 1S.-
Lemon Mcdaniel, Negro grocer,
who was wounded last night in a
police raid that cost the lives of two
officers, died at IL AS o'clock to-
night in charity hospital as a
crowd estimated at 1900 persons
milled about the hospital and
swarmed about the corridors.
DIR. E. L. Sanderson, superinten-
dent of the hospital, the corridors
of which were guarded by every
available policeman and deputy
sheriff, was present when the Ne
gro died. The superintendent i'm
mediately called three of the crowd
into the room and satisfied them the
Negro was dead. They left.
Mcdaniel shot the officers when
with blackened faces they entered
his store and ordered him to hold
up his hands. On his death bed Nc
Daniel stated he thought the Off
GERS were bandits attempting to rob
his store.

PARIS.-Josephine Baker has be-
come the Empress Josephine of the
Paris music halls.
Not even the great Mistinguette,
as unfailing a favorite with the
French public as Aristide BRAND,
has ever been starred in as sump-
tuous and extravagent a revue as
the one in which Miss Baker Is
appearing at the Casino de Paris,
in former years the stronghold Of
Maurice Chevallier.
When the critics of Paris begin
to placate anyone with the term
artist" it can mean many things.
In the case of Miss Baker. one can
not help but agree with them. The
critics have been unanimous in
proclaiming her an artist. The
public has been equally unanimous
in proclaiming her fine entertain
ment. Considering the general ac-
claim with which she has been re-
ceived. it would appear that her
popularity is about to eclipse that
enjoyed in recent years by the
greatest of the French stars.

persistently rumored that no less a
dramatist than Luigi Pirandello,
conspicuous figure in the stars
dressing room, is undertaking the
job Of supplying her with an APP
propriate scenario.
There was a time when Miss Bak-
ers appeal to the Partisan was due
in the main to her exoticism. She
has a figure that looks best when
she has little on. And she can
wear little with the naturalness OF
a 1.-THE and splendid animal. There
was In her singing and dancing
also something Of the untamed anil
NAL that touched the heart of the
uhra-ciyilized Partisan.
In 1925. when she first appeared
in Paris in the Revue Negre at the
Music Hall des Champs Elysees, her
performance, for the larger part
was but an ampllfied version of the
double ointed dancing and comical
antics with which she won so much
attention in America in the chorus
Of Shuttle Along" A year later,
when she became the star at the
Folles-B ergere, she was still an
exotic, a priestess Of jazz and of
the make-belieye jungle.

Boycott
Wins Job For
Colored Clerks

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 21.-Fol-
lowing three weeks of successful
picketing of the three First Nation
al grocery stores which are located
on fremont street in the heart of
the Colored settlement. Richard
Diggs, and his small band of enthu-
siastic supporters won a signal VIC
tory with the employment of eight
Colored girls as clerks in these
stores. The picket on the three
stores was begun during the last
week in December, when the dis
trict manager Of the stores refused
to consider the appointment of Col
ored clerks in the stores, although
it was shown that more than ninety
per cent of the patrons of the stores
are Colored people. Richard Diggs
young business man led the fight
which aroused Boston Colored citi-
zens to the need for fighting against
economic discrimination which de-
mics Colored workers the right to
dignified employment. Diggs en-
ployed three men to stand in front
of the stores under fire and hand to
every housewife who passed card
calling upon them to cooperate, with
the slogan "Do Not Spend Your
Money Where You Can Not Work"
printed upon it.
At first Diggs and his pickets
were taken lightly by many of the
Colored people, who had never wit
messed resolute fight for jobs, but
gradually the entire community
came to his support. and the bust
ness of the First National stores be-
came almost extinct. Moneroe Trot-
ter, veteran editor of the Boston
Guardian lent his aid to the picket
ers, and in a short time the man.
ager of the stores called Diggs,
Trotter, and few other representa-
tive citizens into conference, agree
ing to meet the demands of the
community for Colored clerks in
stores, provided the picket was
withdrawn. The success of this un-
dertaking to open new opportuni-
ties for Colored workers in the
First National stores has stimulated
interest in the city. and it is re-
ported tha similar campaigns
against other stores which do not
hire Colored people are contem-
plated.
