A WORTHWHILE PROJECT

Working on the theory that every industrial con-
Germ and it's workers are entitled to the benefits of or
ganized accident prevention, the National Safety Council
has announced a plan for spreading the gospel of indus
trial safety throughout the length and breadth of the
land. Every concern, large or small, can have the organ
atoms help in establishing a plan for a continuous cam
paign of accident prevention.
The plan offered may be pretty well described by
one word, "personalized." 1t takes cognizance of the fact
that safety work is eve1ybody's businessmen merely that
of safety engineers and shop foremen. Every person
connected with the plant becomes a Stakeholder" in the
work. The Council has provided Industrial Safety Tro-
phies which will be awarded the department or group
winning the year-round safety contest within a company.
The individual workman will be reached each month with
an interesting magazine called "The Safe Worker"
Payroll messages are to be provided to be given on pay
day to every workman as an added reminder of safety.
The technique of the plan is to reach every member of a
concern with personal, direct contacts in the interest of
safety industrial operations.
Industries should take advantage of such a service.
Many concerns, through concentrated safety work, have
reduced accidents from SO to 80 per cent in recent years.
Of deaths and hundreds Of thousands Of non
fatal accidents can be prevented annually. Plant effic-
iency can be increased tremendously.

PERFORMANCE NOT PROMISES

The political campaign that is now on has advanc-
ed TO the period when a voter of average intelligence has
fair understanding of the issues involved and an idea of
the personality of the several candidates who are making
a bid for the suffrage of their fellow citizens. We are
concerned In the men who are to manage the Ship of
State the next four years, as on their actions depend the
veal or woe of millions of human beings, on the policies
they enunciated largely will depend the recovery of this
country's economic equilibrium and the happiness Of her
people We have no way Of judging the future, only by
the past, and glancing back over the past four years we
see little in the actions of the Republican administration
to commend it to the Negro voter, and we can see little
10 hope for better treatment, should the Democrats win.
The situation that confronts the Negro calls for
serious thought, and consideration as our position is
fraught with peril should we make a mistake. 1t should
be understood that the Negro has come Of age, and no
longer belongs to any one party, we are found in all the
parties, though a majority are of the Republican faith,
but we should be judged politically, Individually, and not
collectively. 5000, 900 voters and taxpayers should re-
ceive some recognition. We have been practically ignor-
ed by both state and federal government in the distribu-
ton of the spoils. Would any other group be as patient?

Omhaa, Nebr.,
Dear Mr.. Eastburn:
L appreciate your consideration in
regards to the letter recently written
to you, but I am hoping you have not
misinterpreted by meaning.
| want you to know that I have the
same admiration for the Urban
League, which is a great task for one
man to master and take care Of all
problems before him. Coming in con-
tact daily with large numbers of nv
people, l have watched and studied
conditions closely with them, more
so recently than ever before, enabling
me to know that the Colored citizens
through negligence or oversight in
some way are not getting their pro-
rata of employment with the differ
ent concerns they continuously SUD-
port.
Each citizen, especially the tax
payer is due the same consideration
as others, and regardless Of national
ity, the strength and weakness Of a
people is determined by the consider
alton given in the community where
they reside and are constantly sup
porters of same. If there is an over

WHAT SHALL WE USE FOR MONEY?

An increasing Volume Of expert opinion holds that
it is possible to stabilize silver and still avoid imitation.
AS the commercial machinery Of the world grows
able to keep it going. Under present conditions, whole
nations, with tremendous populations, are unable to buy
in this and other countries, simply because their money
metal, silver, has lost most of its purchasing power.
What the ratio should be between gold and silver
can be decided by investigation. But this much is becom-
ing apparent to the average citizen-when the bulk of
gold is held by two countries, France and the United Stat
es, and when silver is selling at unprecedentedly low lev
els, we are headed for international chaos. Bringing sill
yer "back" would be a long step toward the permanent
solution Of the difficulties now perplexing all the great
nations.

crning the problems of the colored
citizens of Omaha, and I can assure
you we are doing everything possible
to stimulate employment. Our or

ors to promote the welfare Of the

HOME LOAN BANK
PROGRAM PRAISED
Building and Loan League
Head Lauds Purposes
of New Institution.

The Federal Home Loan Bank Sys-
tenn, now being created, Is in complete
accord with the purposes Of the signers
of the Constitution. it is declared by
Ward B. Whltlock, Springfield. Ill,
newly elected president of the United
States Building and Loan League, in
calling for support of the new financial
system.
In a Constitution day message ad-
dressed today to the Building and Loan
Association secretaries of this city and
other sections of the country, Mr..
Whitlock points out that preservation
of the homes was one of the ideals be-
hind the framing of the Constitution.
1T cannot truthfully be said that
people are secure in their homes as
long as they cannot get mortgage credit
on legitimate security to keep them in
possession" he declares
I'm rededicating our business to the
upholding of the Constitution on this
day, building and loan associations are
looking upon the Home Loan Bank sub
scription as their primary duty.
There is a widespread feeling that
Benjamin Franklin would be among the
first to urge the benefits of the Home
Loan Bank System, and would be doing
all in his power to make it success"
THE funds from this system are pri-
marily to finance small homes, they
are to be loaned to borrowers who ex-
pect to repay and own their homes out
right, and not to families who are look
ing for a DOLE said Mr. Whitlock
For this reason the system is set up
along strictly business lines, making no
advances to building and loan aSsocia-
tions or other member institutions on
mortgages which have more than IS
years to run, which are more than six
months in arrears. or which are on
property valued higher than $4,000. 1t
is clear from this plan that the law
is designed to give the small home
owner workable plan for his mortgage
credit, an obligation which he can sat
isfy in a reasonable period of time. 1t
means to help him acquire home, not
to give him a home"

OverIooks Glover Parkway.
The rear of the property overlooks the
wooded area of the Government owned
Glover parkway and it has been treated
in fashion suitable to its purpose and
its surroundings.
There is a garden atmosphere here,
created largely by the provision of the
spacious tea terrace, inclosed by low
brick walls at the outer edge The
1t has border of flowers. Space for
the flowers was left between the terrace
walls and the flagstone floor Among
trees providing shade for the terrace is
a huge tulip poplar, believed to be more
than 200 years old.
The terrace is on level well above
that Of the side street which slopes
down to the level of Glover parkway TO
the rear of the lot. Thus the terrace
affords privacy even from the side
street.
The terrace is tied into the house
structure by means of its extension un-
der the projecting roof over the first

There are wide doors affording easy
access from the living room, extending

As to the methods Of construction,
educational value of a visit and in

the fact that all the brick walls are
