A good painting, or any particularly
lovely picture, should never be hung
close to other pictures. Wall space
should be given to it in order to enjoy
its full beauty. The eye is very in

Appreciation

Miss Essie R. Mason, director of
the Gospel Chorus of Bethesda
Baptist Church, received a-token of
appreciation from members of the
chorus and number of admiring
friends at surprise party given in
her honor by the chorus Monday
night, December "a, at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Whitley,
2816 Elliot Ave. At the close of a
pleasant evening Of entertainment
Mrs. Estella Sims, of the chorus,
called the guests to order, made a
neat little talk, extolled the serv-
ices of Miss Mason and presented
her with the gift. Although taken
entirely by surprise Miss Mason
made fitting acknowledgment. All
the chorus, not otherwise engaged
for the evening, were present, and
in addition Rev. and Mrs. w. E..
Warrington and w. M. Smith. Mr..
and Mrs. Whitley were exceptional
hosts. The rooms were beautifully
decorated, a Christmas tree artis-
tically trimmed won the admira-
ton of everyone. Refreshments
were served by the hostess, herself
a member Of the chorus. Mr.. Whit
ley gave expert assistance.

A NEAR ACCIDENT

A passenger steps from the
front end of street car. The
motorman stops just long enough
to permit him to step to the
ground. The passenger attempts
to cross in front of the car and
only the quick, almost involuntary
action of the driver saves a
tragedy. This dangerous practice
may be witnessed almost any day
on any car line. Warnings seem
useless. Getting off a street car
either in front or rear, one should
step to the pavement before at
tempting to cross the street. Sim
pie enough rule but the failure to
observe this has cost many a life
or desperately painful injury.

Holds Exhibit

The Criterion Art Club held its
Annual Exhibit and Tea Monday,
Dec. 10th, at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. F. P. Schuck, 844 Fuller
Ave. The club colors, Orchid and
Pink, were carried out in the dec
orations.
This was the largest exhibit the
Club has ever had as to the number
of Art pieces and quantity and
quality of work.
1t was very we'll attended and
every one enjoyed the following
program: Piano Selection, Mrs.
Mable Lee; Remarks, Mrs. Jennie

Reed; Solo, Miss Ruth Brown;

PERSONAL ATTENTION

One of the choicest favors re-
ceived, for which no charge is
made, at the Clarence Bell cafe in
Minneapolis, in addition to the ex-
cellent meals, is the personal at.
tention Mrs. Bell lavishes upon
each patron. One is made to feel
that he is the most important
customer being served. It's the
subtlest f1attery but it gets the
right reaction every time. One
knows that it is just a fine lady's
way of showing her real interest,
but it is good business and one that
many Negro business places could
copy with great advantage to
themselves and satisfaction to the
customer.

OUR CHRISTMAS NUMBER

We are especially proud of our
Christmas number-last weeks is
sue. Among the hundreds of
smaller papers published by our
contemporaries, we have seen
none that excel it in reader interest
and clean cut makeup. Just be-
cause we fear none of our readers
may write in to tell us so, we are
saying it ourselves. It costs lots
of money, lots of hard work, much
of cooperation from a considerate
clientele and the patronage of num-
bers of fine business men who use
its columns to tell you they ap-
preciate your patronage and want
your business. We will be salts
fed to continue our work without
an expression of approval from our
public, if that public will remember
the firms who make it possible for
US to continue in business. When
you have money to spend consult
first the advertisement columns of
your paper.

Veteran Elk HOnOred by Women
from Minnehaha Temple No. 129

j. Ed. Stewart, 2915 Columbus
avenue, veteran Elk and long time
resident of Minneapolis, was given
a very delightful surprise on his
birthday, Thursday evening, Dec.
10Th. Called home suddenly, he
found the house filled with guests
from the Minnehaha Temple No.

to congratulate him upon reaching
his three score and ten years.
The ladies held grateful MEM
cries of Mr.. Stewards many eff

occasion to remind him of it.
The Daughters took charge of
the entertainment which, in addi-

some very palatable refreshments.

COMMENT
ADVICE TO THE EDITOR
(By the Editor)

A young st. Paulite wrote me
awhile back to explain what was
news and what news should go on
the front page of our paper and a
few more words of advice as to-
how the editors job should be
done. The young man suffers from
the same ailment that worries
quite a few persons. The editor
has no trouble in recognizing news
when he sees it. But he wants his
news in time to properly allocate
it and not at the last minute. Some
, times we don't have enough of the
right kind of news to fill our front
page space, then something else
necessarily gets in. The editor
does not promise position on any
page of this paper to any one and
for number of reasons. This is a
matter he decides for himself. It
isn't always news because someone
wants to see his name in print and
even when it is news it is seldom
important enough to fill a column
of space. We publish our paper in
the interests of several thousands
of readers who are interested in
matters that vary greatly. We
can't give it all front page space
nor permit each writer to write ad
libitum. So the editor must con-
tinue to use his own judgment but
tressed by his blue pencil and the
handy waste basket.

Negro Genius
Amazed at His
Prominence

DR.. George Washington Carver,
genuinely amazed that people find
his amazing achievements Of in
terest, is more than ever amazed
that John Hix, creator of the radio
program STRANGE AS IT
SEEMS, has used. a strange tale
of Carver's boyhood for one Of his
dramatizations.
Once a slave, and sold for a
broken down race horse, today
George Washington Carver is the
Director of Research at Tuskegee
University, Alabama, respected as
one of the greatest living scientists,
but still mild, gentle, unassuming
person who refuses to believe that
he is of international Importance.
However, the world is full of hun
dreds of things DR.. Carver has
made out Of waste products, which
have saved the world millions of
dollars.
Never boasting of his achieve
ments, it is well known just the
same that Dir. Carver has created
more than two hundred products
from peanuts, ranging from shaw
ing lotion to synthetic rubber. He
also has made an oil that is used
in fighting infantile paralysis. DR..
Carver has not found anything too
lowly for his experiments to dis
cover some new material. From
mere clay he has made wood stains
and face powder, and from the or
binary sweet potato he has Gre
ated nearly two hundred products
from -four to starch and dyes.
From good old sawdust he has in
vented ways of using it to make
marble (synthetic), and building
boards, wood, veneer, fibre, paper
and many other worth while things
that never before were manufac-
tured from the waste particles of
saving wood. Even the pecan
served DR.. Carver for sixty new
articles that are very useful.
Named After Race Horse
This famous man was once
nameless slave, ransomed for a
broken-down race horse after his
mother and he were kidnapped.
He took the surname of his owner
and the given name of George
Washington. In time he was ready
for school and had to work his way
through, but got his degree at Iowa
State College. One college degree
wasn't enough for this brilliant
men-he is Bachelor of Science,
Master Of Science, and Doctor of
Science. He is a member Of the
Royal Society for the Encourage
ment Of Arts, Manufactures, and
Commerce of Great Britain, and
winner of the Spingarn Medal for
Negro Achievement.
Recognized by all the world of
commerce and education he has
quietly gone on with his work at
Tuskegee University and even re-
fused an offer from Thomas A. Edi-
son, who offered him 100000 to
work with him. DIR. Carver ex-
pressed his regrets to Mr.. edison,
telling the inventor that he pre-
ferred to remain at the University,
working for the benefit of his peo-
pie, and among them.
