Members Heard Address on lnter-Racial Aspects of
 Vocation Campaign
BY MRS [. T. ALEXANDER

.'Inter-ractal Aspects of the Cam paign for Vocational Opportunities Among Negroes" was the title of the talk given by Mrs. L. T. Alex ander addressing the Lions and Quota clubs to-day at the Elton. She expressed hope that the present unemployment crisis might bring both races to a readjusted viewpoint as to the relationship existing be- tween religion and economic prob lems.
 She outlined the story of Ma chine Progress and the Iron Bouncer in It's direct action on the white trained worker and indirect recoil upon the unskilled negro by dis placement with resultant racial fric- ton and antagonism. She listed as remedial efforts to offset this the National Urban League Vocational Opportunity Campaign and c. M. as- sOctation fostered by the Negro Busi- ness Mems League.
 The .sSeaker, while commenting both contributions urged the broad CT platform of inter-racial effort basing appointments and promotion on ability rather than color.
 She stressed the need of under standing the negro present handi- caps and the objectives of the op- portunity campaign as national eco- homie prosperity Is inevitable post poned by a failure to recognize our racial inter-dependence.
 She closed with an appeal for broader opportunities for the trained negro youth who are graduating from colleges and institutions.

 Boston, April 23-(UP) - New England Is on the wing. soaring to new heights of aeronautical achievements. M
 Within the past year the family group of the half dozen northeastern states has made important advances in air progress. and the develop ment of the territory's aerial re- sources Is continuing at rapid rate, the annual aviation survey of the United Press disclosed today.
 New Airports. improved airports. substantial gains in air mall volume. marked increases in both passenger and freight traffic on the skyways. and a strong upward trend in the ranks of licensed pilots, all testify to the fact that New England is swiftly coming to the forefront of American aviation.
 A gain of approximately AT per cent in the number of New Eng flanders holding federal pilot H. censes as compared with a year ago was shown. The current total Is SIS. compared with s63 last year. Totals by states for 1881 and 1880 follow: Massachusetts, 451 and 314: Connecticut, 174 and Ill; Rhode Island, 55 and 30: Maine,a 63 and 37; New Hampshire. 4S and 34: Vermont, 27 and IS. cN. a
 An increase of about 70 per cent In the number of holders of state pilot licenses was indicated. the present total being. 836, compared with 465 year ago. This does not include Rhode Island. which has no state licenses.
 Women are playing an increasing Iy important part in the air progress of New England. Massa chusetts, for example, had only, two licensed airwomen in 1929 and only six last year, whereas there are now an even dozen, with several others in the kindergarten stage of piloting.
 While no new air transport lines have been inaugurated in New Eng Hand within the year. two are con will link Boston and Albany, N. Y.. connecting there with the New York Montreal line, and the other will link Boston with Portland, Augusta. and Bangor. Me, and the Maritime provinces.
 Testimony that air travel is be- coming increasingly popular is the report that Colonial Airways carried 13,O26 passengers and covered l. O24,580 miles during 1930,' conpar- ed with 5,212 passengers and 657.- 651 miles in 1929. !. The air mail, too, has shared in the general development of New England's aerial facilities. Last month the Boston post office handled 6,362 pounds of outgoining air mail and 2,579 pounds on incom- ing air mail, compared with 401h pounds of outgoing and TITS pounds of incoming air mall in the corresponding period of 1880.

 In direct support of bill intro- duced by Congressman J. Charles Linthicum, Baltimore, Md, Captain Joyce's committee undertook the distribution of petitions. These even- tually produced q total of more than five million signatures. including those of 26 governors, nearly every member of congress, and patriotic citizens in every state and territory
 under the American flag.
 At conference called by Captain Joyce at D. A. R. headquarters in Washington, D. C., on January 30, 1880, more than eighty patriotic or- ganizations were represented and expressions endorsing the movement were adopted for presentation at 3 hearing of the house Judiciary com mittee on the following day.
 An event unique in the annals of congressional hearings took place on this occasion when the United States navy band played the Star Spangled Banner. in accompaniment, to Mrs Elise Jorss Reilley, noted soprano of Washington, D. c. Mrs Reilley sang the Star Spangled Banner in Its transposed form to a lower key. as recommended by Captain Joyce's committee for mass singing pur- poses. Thus transposed, 1t was shown that the Star Spangled Ban- ner. can be sung easily by the aver- age person with an untrained voice. Adoption of the Linthicum meas

 In veteran and patriotic circles the name of Walter I. Joyce, him.

 that of Francis Scott Key. composer of the national anthem. It was Key who first gave this in spfred hymn to his country and 1t remained for
 Joyce to preserve It's message for posterity through the enactment of legislation that definitely designates the Star Spangled Banner as the of- ficial anthem of the nation.

ELEGANCE in modern male dress is inseparably allied with simplicity - simplicity in 7 style. in pattern, in colour.
 w. J. M. whoever ignores that unwritten law stands in danger of not be- ing acknowledged gentleman. At all events, living in a world where there Is no time to tn- uuiro into each persons char acter. we are apt to classify our fellowmen by the clothes they wear, and if they pass the sartorial test we call them, in :, the absence of evidence to the contrary gentlemen.-W. J. M. Thus many a man. though en- titled to that honorable name neither by birth nor by up- bringing, yet bears 1t by virtue of one thing alone--the skill of . go0d tailoE--W. J. M.
 And indeed, the proof of a good tailor lies in his ability to en- dow any customer, no matter how unpromising, with the sembIance of a gentleman.
 w. J. M. The New Tailoring Establish ment of William John, Mahon is the source and origin or mems fashions. His supremacy is not, as many other tailors seem to think, due to the su- periority of the English. Irish and Scotch Cloths that he se- iects for the making of his Spring Clothes, for fine fabrics made on the other side are available impartially through out the world to all who are prepared to pay for them. Nor is 1t a matter of workmanship, for 1t would be idle to assert that the best tailors in America have anything to learn from us in this respect.--W. J. M.
 The root of the matter Is that we alone possess the secret of style, the quality of making even formal garments look comfortable and graceful: and the explanation of 1t lies in the manifestly superior technical in- struction that our cutters and worlmen are enabled to ac- quire.-W. J. M.
