what they craved. and chose.
Each one Of the many addressed

"trip and the events of the conven-
|tion had . different tale to tell,
but the great majority expressed
their satisfaction at the election Of
Joe Clark, st. Petersburg. Depart
ment Commander; James Frank.

by the unemployment situation and
which is, consequently forced to call
upon the charitable organizations for
aid, President Mordecai w. johnson of
Howard University has been asked to
speak upon the effect of the present
unemployment situation upon the
status of the Washington Negro.
Particular Importance is placed upon

because from that discussion by the va
rious speakers it is hoped that there
may be evolved some practical solution
OF the problem of family deStitutiOn
which IS affecting so seriously, not only
the adults, but the children of Wash
