The only reason that the above
title is used is because I supposedly
delayed the writing Of this column
last night in order To Get I'D early
this morning February 22nd) and
hear the High Mass and Funeral Of
the late King Albert Of Belgium. ALL
though the program, from New York
City, has been on the air for nearly
half an hour already we have not
heard from Brussels as the en-
gineers claim atmospheric distur-
ances owe the Atlantic. AT this point
we near from Brussels and | am
now sitting in a little Studio" on
South Parkway in Chicago, at five
thirty IN the morning listening to a
choir away over in Belgium. What a
world this is? And what a pleasure
it is to be free to enjoy mans ac-
Movements. Il only wish | under
stood Latin so l could understand the
Priest now talking.)
The Baltimore Afro-American are
putting on a journalistic feat not of
ten observed in the colored field.
Their special feature writer, Ralph
Matthews, is making a thirty day
tour around the entire United States
and writing many interesting coll
umns of experiences, observations,
and news matter gathered on his
jaunt.
The Scott Newspaper Syndicate,
mentioned in last weeks column be-
of the death Of its founder, the
late W. A. Scott, is still progressing
under its new managership, Q. "a.

latest achievements being an admit
lance into the A. B. C. audit Blu
reau of C~irculations) class, making
their Atlanta Daily World II Of the
five or six colored publications so
admitted. Then, too, they have start
ed a ley weekly paper, the Globe

I am glad to see this new publication

The National Medical Association
scores another victory for the race.
DR.. NJ. o. Bousfield, the president Of
the N. M. A., and vice-president and
medical director Of the Supreme Lib
erty Life Insurance Company, has
just returned from a trip through
the east and southeast as far as the
Carolinas and reports that while in
Durham, North Carolina, definite
arrangements were made with the
officials of Duke University there to
spend considerable money j n provid-
ing for increased medical services

Another local Chicago company
who have weathered the financial
storm with clear sailing and inn
proved business is the Protective
Mutual Life Insurance Company,
who have but recently enlarged their
working quarters and sales staff
when they moved into their new
headquarters in the Warwick Build
ing, 543 East 47th Street. I recently
wrote a special featuhe article de-
failing the activities Of this company
and the successful experience Of
their president, Mr. Q. WI Hadnott,
which a few Of the outstate publica-
tions carried, and | am glad, in this
brief manner, to bring their success
to the attention Of readers through
out the entire country.
Apparently classes in journalism,

ssue of their paper, the Moore High
Banner, which IL edited and publish
