able to dine in a Cafe that was estah
Ished for the soul purpose and con
vience Of the representatives, Of Cor
.ress and their secretaries. DR.
DR.. Thompkins said that the Negro
was more concerned Of the treatment
the race as a whole received from
the United States than they are
about a jim Crow Cafe. DR.. Thomp
kins said as the result of Congress
man Oscar DePriest misrepresepta
ton Of the Negro in Washington. d.
O., he was going to be defeated for
the reelection in November 6. He
thought Oscar DePriest was well
aware of this fact for he had told
an Omahan that he would not be able
to assist the Republican party in
Omaha due to the fact that he had
his hands full, taking care Of his af
fairs in Chicago. DR.. Thompkins
spoke on the fine Cooperation he had
received from Congressman E. r
Burke in the interest and welfare Of
the Negro in Washington, D. G.
He said the Negro in Omaha
could not afford to fail to give a full
measure of support to Congressman
Burke for U. S. Senator. For If he
was elected to the United States
Senate the Negro of Nebraska would
have a full share and equal represen
tation in every avenue that is deserv
ing. DR.. Thompkins closed his re
marks requesting especially the Ne
groes Of the second ward, to roll up
a large number of votes for the en-
tire democratic ticket especially send
Johnny Owen to the House Of Repre-
sentatives in Lincoln. Neb. The stage
was stormed by interested voters
who were eager to shake his hand
and compliment him for his wonder
ful address in the interest of the dem
ocratic party. AT the close Of DR..
Thompkins address the Chairman of
the conamittee, Mr.. C. C.. Galloway,
introduced Congressman E. r.
Burke. The congressman was receiv
ed with great applaudes from the
audience. Congressman Burke stated
he was not going to make a political
speech for it was not necessary for
him to say any more as Dr.. Thomp
kins and the chair had said plenty
for him. But he did feel that it was
his duty to say something for the
democratic ticket.
He was glad to say that the entire
democratic party was anxious for the
return Of Representative Johnny
Owen to the House Of Representa-
tive. He spoke Oh the fine qualities
Of which Mr.. Johnny Owen
possessed and the wonderful record
he had made in the last session of
legislature. Congressman z. r.
closed BY asking Negro voters
Il support men in this campaign that
will be loyal to the Presidents pro
gram.

, office and went to a little tea
room where the chairs and tables
were as fragile as the sandwiches.
Cream cheese on gluten bread was
her selection, and that was fol-
! lowed by an alligator-pear salad
and some tea.
In the office, the afternoon
was more or less a repetition of
the morning. Shortly after 4,
the orders thinned out. And at
S o'clock, she was free to go.
She Strolled over to 5th Ave.
It was beautiful out, and a seat
atop a bus was much more at
tractive than the crowded SUBJ
way. She had to wait long
time on a long line, but she
didn't mind. her dinner appoint
ment with Mrs. Scrunch was not
until $50, which would give her
many minutes to spare.
Shortly before 6, she found a
seat to her liking. The bus lum-
bered up 5th Ave. and turned
west on 57th st. She saw the
same windows, the same houses,
the same crowds. Directly in
front Of her, a boy and girl be-
gan to neck. She blushed. And
as soon as she was able, she
changed her seat.
Dinner with Mrs. Scrunch was
a weekly event, and it was always
very dull. Mrs. Scrunch was a
widow of her own age who had
a passion for music, although
she knew nothing whatsoever
about it. They always dined IN
the same little uptown restau-
rant, and Mrs. Scrunch always
said the same things.
This night, after they had
dined, Mrs. Scrunch suggested a
nelghborhood movie. Our heroine
agreed. They walked to the thea
ter, and they had to sit across
the aisle from each other because
the place was crowded. Mrs.
Scrunch complained, but the
other woman didn't mind.

watched the feature. It was a
tender story of a great love, and
the handsome hero almost lost
his beloved several times before it
all came out beautifully in the
end. When it was over, she said
goodnight to Mrs. Scrunch in
front of the theater, and hurried
in the direction of her home.
She hurried because she had
heard several stories Of girls being
annoyed in this vicinity of late.
The landlady had told her about
it in huShed' tones and advised
her to be careful. Rounding the
corner Of her. block, her heart
leaped when she saw four men
standing together. She passed
them rapidly, her head high. The
four men turned away.
She entered her little apart
ment, hung up her coat and hat.
and locked the door carefully. She
sat on her bed and looked about
the room. Then. suddenly. she
began to cry-and cry-and cry!
