AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
Every Week from tits Column
By CLIFFORD c. MITCHELL

AN ADNlSOK1 COMMlIl EE.
The current issues of our press
have been filled with the general
knowledge that a colored advisory
committee has been selected and per-
fected by certain governmental agen
cies at Washington to pass on and
recommend pertinent programs for
the particular benefit of our race and
while this news has been received in
more or less laudatory terms it will
not be surprising to see or hear of
some dissension because of the per-
sonnet selected and more particularly
because of probably some not select
ed.
The fact remains however that at
last a committee and a program of
action has been devised that will
probably gain for Us some real action
without the usual fanfare and hull
abollo of publicity or puff notices.
Immediately on Mr.. Harry H.
PAGES return from Washington,
where he vas elecedt vice chairman
Of this advisory committee, I con-
suited him at length and while l
learned in confidence the contem-
plated action Of this committee no
good. For this reason l owe my
readers an apology for not divulging
certain bits of knowledge that l would
ike to publicize and which would
make real news material but would
in all probability defeat the purposes
Of the committee who are more desir-
Gus of actually accomplishing some
thing worthwhile than to be nation
ally publicized. And all readers will
agree that the strength Of an army
IS in its strategy in carrying out its
campaign to a successful conclusion
without any apparent leakage in its
attacks. And at the expense of fall
ing down on a real news beat | must
ask my readers to accept my state
ment that the Negro is really going
to be taken care of in a concrete and
practical manner If the efforts of
the Advisory Committee are to mean
anything But the workingman is be
ing considered and his situation will
be remedied rapidly
And speaking of working l want to
quote from a letter received from a
concern who offers work to some of
u women:
My dear Mr.. Mitchell: In
keeping with your policy of giving
your readers first class opportunities
to arr money during their spare
time we wish to call your attention to
u exclusive service in preparing
cosmetics for each individual user by
our exclusive prescription method.
"We a use a number of energetic
young women nj each community in
the country to canvas their particu-
lar communities and through our in
dividual charts prepare a definite
cream for each individual user.
"You may have all of your readers
who are desiring such a profitable
spare time opportunity to write di-
rect to US, The Kremex Laboratories,
1O5 North Clark Street, Chicago,
Illinois.
incidentally we would suggest
that you have all of your feminine
readers write direct to US for one of
our individual facial and climatic
analysis which we will make and for
ward to them absolutely free.
In connection with the above letter
l might state that I have been in
formed that the above concern have
never before attempted a contact
with the colored field and within the
next week or ten days I hope to have
a personal interview with their exc
cutives and at that time perhaps I
can write something that will appeal
: not only to the readers but to the ad
Vertising managers of our papers, as
well.
l would be pleased to receive com
ments from readers who have contact
ca the various firms mentioned from
m to time in this column and if
| your experiences have been helpful I
= would like to pass that knowledge on
