By Cecil E. Newman

A white physician, representing
the Hennepin County T. B. Associa-
tion addressing the Fifth District of
Women's Clubs, white, at the Y. w
C. A. Saturday afternoon asserted the
Negro is highly susceptible physical
ly to tuberculosis. DR.. Mary Waring.
also a physician and in addition ma
tional president of the Association OF
Colored Women's Clubs was present
as guest speaker. In a calm manner
DR.. Waring challenged the white
physicians statement anent the
Negro. She insisted he did not &c
behind the statistical facts. She
pointed out that any group of people,
white or black, exposed to poor hous-
ing, deplorable sanitation, starvation
wages coupled with all the ills from
which the Negro suffers, are natural
preys to all diseases. Wherever Ne
groes receive equal employment op-
portunities, good housing and recrea-
tional~ opportunities the prevalence OF
T.B. and all diseases, is small.
There are now two Negro daily
newspapers. The DAILY CITIZEN
published in New York City six days
a week made its bow Monday, Oct
%. It's guiding spirit and editor is
William M. Kelley, former editor OF
the, NEW YORK AMSTERDAM
NEWS. The paper compares favor.
ably with previous daily newspaper
efforts of the Race and is by all stand.
ards a creditable tabloid effort. New
York City's census figures record the
Negro population of the metropolis al
$4,000. This large group should bt
able to support daily. Atlanta with
10000 Aframericans has supported
the ATLANTA WORLD, the othel
daily, for more than year. The en-
tire Negro press is watching Har

We have received considerable in
quiry about the Minneapolis Sunday
Forum of which we are president, by
reason of the fact that there was Nc
election last year. Practically every
city in the Union has it's forum. Most
of the important civic movements and
improvements and other worth while
things receive their first impetus ir
such organizations. Last winter fnan.
cial conditions were so pressing with
most of Minneapolis, including many
Forum members, that attendance and
interest fell off as it did in all such
public asccclblies. Even our churches
suffered from depleted attendance and
many of those who did attend could
give only small financial support.
The Minneapolis Forum has for sew.
eral years conducted it's bi-mcnthly
meetings in the Phyllis Wheatley
House. In recent years the 80 pei
teams chances in coming games, but
Jack, knowing how rumors are exag-
gerated once they are loose, doesn't
have much to say, smart boy.
Everyone had nice time at the
Homecoming dance last Friday night.
In fact, the turnout of our students
was larger than 1 expected. During
the last two days, there has been talk
of attending The Common Peepul's
Ball, one of the major social events
of the year on the campus. DANNY
ALLEN sez he is going if he has to
go alone. The tickets are a leetle
mite more expensive than most of us
are in the habit of paying, but dare
say it will be worth more than the
price. just. to show that colored girls
