Senator Copeland of New York has estimated
that one-fourth of the national income goes
for crime Mr.. Fyfe recalls II is a curious fact
that people would rather pay for reformatories
than they would for boys clubs. They would
prefer to foot the bill for the cure rather than
take the shorter and cheaper way in allevlating
the cause of crime.

But now that the character of the neighbour

to go where the boy problem is acute here. Mr..
Fyfe's philosophy is that the real formative age
of boys life is from to IA years. In this
period, he must be taken in hand, and here
there is plenty to be done.

Mclean News

An announcement that caused
quite a sensation during the past
week was the news that the Nc
Lean, mansion, up on I Street,
was being renovated for a new
supper club.
It was promised that I should
have definite news today, but
matters are still in the uncertain
stage. It seems that there is a
gentleman, with quite a few dol
lars, willing to invest in club,
provided he can find an astute
manager for it.
Who the man in question is
remains a mystery. At one time
or another, Brook Johns, Pete
MaciaS and Tom Moore have
been mentioned in connection
with the proposition. Pete MaciaS
is quite contented with his own
Heigh-Ho Club, Brook Johns will
open a suburban spot near Olney
and Tom Moore as you can see
above, will have his hands full.
Your guess is as good as the next
fellows.
Jane Utgaard, pardon me, Jane
Whitney, who appeared at Chevy
Chase Lake last night with Will
lard Alexander'S band, is still in
search OF a more novel last name
than her present tag. Sugges-
tionS appreciated. 1t was at the
Lotus that Alexander first heard
her warbling and signed her.
Take a bow, Bill Strickland.

speech by Judge John J. Parker,
Republican candidate for Governor
of North Carolina, before the Re-

the payment of a poll tax, for lit

inclusion of a grandfather clause,
all these clauses of the amendment
being designed to eliminate Ne

grandfather clause had been held
unconstitutional by the u. s. SUI

of litigation in which the National
Association for the Advancement
Of Colored People had taken an sc-

SAYS SOUTH HOLDS
NEGRO in SLAVERY


MEMPHIS, Tenn.-Dr. M. Ash
by Jones, white, pastor of Central
Congregational Church, Atlanta,
Ga. speaking before the goodwill
conference here last Tuesday, in
dicted the white South for contin-
uing to keep the colored race in
slavery.
To-day the Negro is almost as
completely in the power of the
white man as in the days of slav-
cry" he declared From the Po-
tomac to the Rio Grande, there is
not single local political office
which he can hold. The bulk of
the property and the management
of great commercial enterprises,
the schools, hospitals and libraries,
are in the hands of the whites.
THE moral strain is greater
than that of slavery. 1t is unwhole-
some for any group of people to
be given such power over another
group"
