Especial to ANP)-On January
1st, 1886, the 25th Infantry,
United States Army, will again
resume ENLISTMENTS of col
ored youths, between the ages of
l and 80 years, who T unmar-
ried, physically and morally fit,
and who have completed their
grammar school education.
On October 4th, 1885, enlist
ments were suspended by the

there are 243 accepted applicants
for enlistment, who have been or
dered to report here on and after

their physical examinations at the
United States Recruiting Office

plete Investigation of their moral
fitness for enlistment after he has
undergone the expense of railroad
or bus fare journeying to this sta
ton, unless some change has &C.
cured in his physical condition.
Those applicants who have been
ordered to report here will be

The excellence of the education

July 1st, 1885, has been very
gratifying.
There still remain many vacan-
cies to be filled by the type of
young MN desired, however, of
ficers state, and those who are
interested, and who feel that they
can fill the requiem nts, may adj
dress their inquiries to the Ere
cruiting Officer, Fort Huachuca,

stated in his feature address,
"Mussolinl is planning to

Segregation Outlawed

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 7
The two-year fight of the
Oklahoma City NlAACP branch

against the residential segre-
CATION ordinance passed here
in 1888 was won this week
when the Oklahoma supreme
court declared the ordinance
violated the 18th and 18th
Amendments to the Constitu-

The ordinance was similar
to those attempted in many
southern communities about
tweny years ago, but which
were then declared illegal in a
decision secured from the Unit
ed States Supreme Court by
the NAACP in a case arising in
Louisville, Ky. The Oklahoma
City ordinance attempted to
set aside certain districts where
colored people could not live,
and similar districts in which
white people could not live.
The branches Of the NAACP in
the state, under the leadership
Of Roscoe Dunjee, state presi-
dent, made the fight.

Seek To Better
D. C.'s 7. B. Rate

Washington, Dec. 7, (ANP)-
With the beginning this week of
the Tuberculosis case-finding pro-
iect in Washington, the capital of
the nation is being used as an ex-
perimental station. In spite of its
comparatively small size, there
are only two states in the United
States-Arizona and New Mexico
with as high a tuberculosis
death rate; and only one city with
a T. B. death rate as high as that
in the Capital city. In 1884, it
was discovered that 600 persons
succumbed in the District of
Columbia to tuberculosis; of
these 416 were of the Negro ace.
A staff of field workers, COM
posed of both white and colored,
are attempting at the present
time, to interest Washingtonians
in the 10000 free x-Rays which
are being offered by the Health
Department.
After the results of these
X-Rays have been determined, the
real work of the project begins.
The field workers will then try
to interest those individuals hav-
ing positive reactions in submit
ting to further treatment-or in
case the individuals prove not in
terested in further treatment, it
will be the duty of the worker to
go into the homes and point out
what can be done there within the
home to better existing conditions
and prevent the spread of infec-
tion. A great part of the work.
er's job will be the breaking down
of superstitions and fears now
connected with T. B.
The Health Department is hop
ing that should the project prove
a success in Washington, other
states might adopt similar pro-
grams, to be financed out of state
funds.
1t is also the secret of the
Health Department that this pro-
ject will develop a permanent
branch of the Health Department.

Fled With Smiths
Relief Money

Houston, Dec. LAMP
John T. Smith, 1903 Nichols,
was feeling pretty good Sat
urday, for he had just drawn
his relief check for SIS. He went
into a drug store to make a
small purchase and to get the
check cashed.
When the druggist gave
John his purchase, he also
handed him 5 one dollar bills
and some small change. A man
said to have been James Cain,
grabbed the money out of
Smith hand asd fled.
Smith seized a glass off the
drug store counter and heaved
it at Cain, but instead of hit
ting Cain the glass broke a
large window in the front of
the drug store.
So it was that the police car
red Smith off to jain where he
was held until Monday. But
then the tables were turned, for
police had found and arrested
Cain.
Now Smith IS wondering how
he is going to live until the
government issues him another
check next week.

BOSTON TEA PARTY
Strategy Failed
To Win Turkey

Houston, Texas, Dec. z, AMP
John Henry Rice hasn't had a
job lately so, with Thanksgiving
just a few days away and no turk
ey in sight, John Henry decided
to get one free.
At the Farmers market John
Henry saw the turkey he wanted.
1t was plump and sleek and he
could imagine just how good it
would look baked on his table.
Now John Henry was raised in
the country and knew a few
tricks. First, on the pretense of
examining a turkey he cut the
string around the fowls legs.
Then he walked slowly away,
dropping, as he went, yellow
grains of cortland the turkey
followed him.
But alas for John Henry, the
of the gobbler followed it.
So when John Henry got several
yards from thu market
and turned around to grab his
he was grabbed himself in
stead.
John Henry hoped they would
serve turkey in the jailhousa on
Thanksgiving, for that is where
he spent that holiday.

Missionary Believes
Halle Selassie A :.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 7, Especially
Italy cannot give Ethiopia a
half of what that nation plans to
give to itself in the way of a more
civilized life and the advantages

ordered government, Reverend
George w. Rhoads, for the past
five years a missionary in ETH
opia with the Inland African
Mission, told the students of
Spelman and Morehouse colleges
today. The speaker, a close
friend of Emperor Halle S~elassie,
whom he described as "a man of
God and leader of men," told of
the many improvements the EN-
peror had made during his short
reign including the establishment
of a constitutional government,
abolition of serfdom by which
men were bound to the land, and
establishment of a system of land
tenure whereby men might profit
by the fruit of their labor. He
expressed the conviction that
Ethiopia would not be defeated in
the present conflict.
The message of the Emperor.
which was recently broadcast to
the world but which was distorted
in translation into English, ex-
pressed completely the faith of
the Emperor and his people in the
righteousness of their cause. Mr..
Rhoads freely translated the EN-
peror's statement of Ethiopia to
remain free as follows: "As FREE
men we were born, as freemen we
have lived, as freemen we will
die. We have never known servi-
tude to man, we know only servi-
tude. to God. The yoke of SER
vice to Jesus Christ we have glad
ly borne. That yoke we will
gladly continue to bear. All other
yokes we refuse, as God is our
helper"
Ethiopia has had a place in
history for the last 1000 years."
Mr.. Rhoads declared. "There
were kings reigning in that
country before the Roman Empire
was founded. These people had a
written language before the peo-
pie of Europe were able to read
the Bible in their own tongues.
This country of which so much,
that is iniquitous and untrue, is
being written today, is winning a
place in the modern world, a n d
will continue to play a tremend-
Gus part in world affairs until the
end of time"

SAVE THESE TREES

A S summer advances the Forest Service
reports an increasing number of man
caused fires in the $50 national forests of
America. In the last 10 days of June its crews
were busy fighting an average of % fires day.
Disquieting is the report that 20 of these
were caused by lighted matches and tobacco
unguarded camp fires, brush burning and
other acts of human carelessness.
In the first half of 1885, 1902 forest fires
were due to such thoughtlessness, as compared
with 2279 in the same months last year. So far
10000 acres have been burned, as against
$4,000 in the same time last year.
Some of these added losses are due to in
creased travel through America inviting green
mansions. Others are due to the fact that
several million new acres have been added to
the national forests. But much is due to
wanton unconcern by campers and others of
their duties as guests
A single match can destroy millions of
dollars worth of timber wealth, result in in
calculable flood and erosion damage, and lay
waste magnificent forests that will require
century for men and nature to rebuild.

SOMETHING FOR OUR MONEY

TALKING to the state PWA directors who

dent Roosevelt emphasized again the i'm
portance of building enduring public works
This is doubly important, because all of the
four billion dollars which we are to spend in
the next II months, giving jobs to those on
relief rolls, is to be borrowed money. Tax
payers of the future will have to pay the BILL
and payment will be made easier to the extent
that We spend the money on permanently en-
riching projects.
we must give useful work to 100000
people" the President said And I believe
We are going to do it"
We trust so. But there is danger that
much of this four billion dollar war chest
may be dissipated in hurriedly improvised
undertakings similar to some that brought
criticism to he late eva.
Useful" is an elastic word Much of the
CWA work was useful. Much was not.
Useful we're such CWA projects as mosquito
control and sanitary works in the South;
swimming pools, Fairgrounds, parks and other
recreational facilities; adult education and il
literacy classes; the Public Works of Art pro-
ject which enabled jobless artists to adorn
our public buildings; the mapping of I'M

works
Useless were the building of dirt roads
and entertainments that rains soon washed
away poorly planned researches, and other

little better than outright doles, and much
more expensive.

about half has been ailocated. most of it for

OBJECTS TO FEE FOR
AUTOMOBILE INSPECTION

BY W. G. Klein Jr.
Our City Council has introduced
an ordinance which should be pro-
tested by the motorists of Indian
apolis. This is the ordinance TO
compel seni-annual inspection of
motor vehicles at the very modest
fee Of 81 for each inspection, if my
information is correct. First we
had a gradual increase in our state
license till the writer at present has
to dig up $40 each year to get a
set of plates for his family car
Then the drivers license, which was
to be renewed only every three
years for so cents proved so lucra-
tive that the boys in the Statehouse
just could not forgo lacking this
fee on each and every year.
And now our Council in the in
terest of safety feels that it is worth
81 to give the motorists clean bill
of health. Why should this be
necessary when we are paying state
license plus a heavy gasoline tax
that should cover a state inspection
of all motor vehicles before license
is issued. Why should it be mat
ter for our city to handle and what
is to keep Our. state officials from
lacking on a similar fee later for
state inspection?
In defense of the ordinance we
do know that there are many cars
both old and new, that are unsafe
