ALL HARLEM BUYS
ETHIOPIAN FLAGS

NEW YORK, Aug, 16-The big
gest seller in New York today, that
is in Harlem, is the tri-color of Ethio-
pia. Demands for the flag of.-this
country are unprecedented inasmuch
as it has been only within the past
few months that the popularity of the
nation gained here with Colored A.
merica.
There are several stores specialize
ing in this flag and wherever street
speakers gather, parades form, the
flag is much in evidence. From large
sizes. right down to the lapel size flag,
there is a great demand for the green
red and yellow Of Ethiopia.

dent state on earth Ethiopia. 1t is
noticeable that while this is going on
that many Colored Americans read
every line Of it and offer it many,
many times as a topic for discussion
now when there was time when they
did not seem to care continental
damn if there was or ever was an
Ethiopia.
The absence Of general knowledge
about the manners, customs and the
people Of this great black nation is
partially due to the fact that the
white news agencies have never even
thought it advisable probably or ne
cessary until now to write much about
it. Such knowledge could have been
found, however, by one carefully per-
suing some of the journals of the
country owned and published by Color
ed people.
The Awakening
1t was not until the present war
clouds are lowering over Europe and
Africa that some of our folks became
interested enough to start reading
thoroughly. To their own dismay some
of these folks who haven't been read
ing their own newspapers thoroughly
have found themselves somewhat in a
quandry. The white press reports
would not delve into the subject
thoroughly for some reason. Maybe
it was not the policy and why it
wasn't the policy any Colored per-
son may answer that himself.
At first it was reported that En-
peror Halle Selassie just had a bunch
Of unframed barefooted soldiers who
used spears, rocks and arrows. Now
through the same news sources comes
picture after picture of Selassie's
troops preparing to resist the Italians
But these troops are manning ma

ments Of war. One can see them now
passing in review before their king in
strict military discipline.
Abyssinia's fast mineral resources
are just now becoming to be known
by these erstwhile folk who have just
taken some press reports Of that
land. They know now that Emperor
Selassie has sealed up the entrances

The WOLF is getting a lot of pub

lost last time he ran for office.

articles that are written about him.

satisfaction he will get from yours
truly.
CORRECTION
e. M. Cleaves wishes to have the
public understand that he never told
anyone that h. intended running for
office, endorsement or no endorse

that he is interested in the Common

HOUSEWIVES ATTENTION!
Spend your money where your boy
or girl will have a chance to find en-
ployment. Doctors, Lawyers, Dentists,
BARRIERS, Hair Dressers, Ministers and
all people of color should see to it
that they spend their money where
Colored people are employed, not as
porters and delivery boys, but as
clerks and statesmen as well.
DISCRIMINATION
Discrimination is on the increase.
We should bar all union made goods
that have tendency to bar Colored
labor from becoming members. The
United States Government itself ia

This is brought about by white men
Colored men as men,

unions that are opposed to us because
cur skin is black. Our back is to the
wall and we should fight to finish.
$4,000 100000 is our power, right

 New Haven

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 20.-(Up) The wrestling superiority of Irish Jack Donovan, Boston, and Joe Savoldi, Twin Oaks, Mich, still was undecided today after the two hus- kies, with a fall apiece to their credit, knocked themselves out by hyi.lg through the ropes before a crowd of 4,000 excited fans here last night and lay senseless as the ref- cree declared the match a draw.

 NAUGY TEAM WINS

The Naugy Y Midgets continued their winning streak over the pub- lie school teams of Naugatuck by defeating Hop Brook at the Y Sat- urday morning.

 Emil Mascola continues to bowl like a real professional as he has been doing since the start of the season, and with the help of Jim Flanagan knocked off the Paintmen for all four points.
 After. losing the first two games to Mike Whelan, the Powermen applied full power to hit 548 in tho final game, but were just few pins short of the necessary margin to take pinfall.
 Harvey Pelletier, in addition to copping the weekly honors, was the big factor in the Plumbers four point win over McPartlands Crew. Harvey had a pinfall of 383 and kept the team out of danger at all times.
 Every man onthe Stanton team finished the night wiht mark to sew up the game and pinfall. After bad start in whcih they lost the first game, they hit 557 and 553 to settle other two games and pinfall.

 4 of 5 Games

Naugatuck, Nov. 20.-The Nauga- tuck YMCA volley ball team, cham- pions of the state last year, opened its season successfully last night by winning four out of five games from the Stamford "" team in a good match played at Stamford.
 The scores were 15-l, 8-15, 15-6, 17-15 and 15-12. Considering 1t was the first game of the year, the Nau- gatuck team showed an unexpected smoothness of play at times. The locals started with 8 rush and be- fore the Stamford team got settled down, Naugatuck had captured the first game. Stamford won the sec- ond game mostly by successful blocks of the hard spikes of the wis., itors. The Naugatuck team with the whl le combine clicking as @ unit rallied strong1y to run away with the third tilt. The fourth game was the best of the lot. Stamford came from behind to tie the score at 14- all and went ahead 15-14, needed only one point for game. However the locals defense frightened at this period and they got the necessary three points for victory. The locals Lad the edge throughout most of the final game although 1t was a cl' . one. Stamford will probably play in Naugatuck later in the sea- son. It was the fourth game of the year for the Stamford outfit who were much impressed with Nauga- tuck's play.

 Those who played for Naugatuck last night were: Captain Joseph Smith, George Halloway, Fred Bak- CT, Joseph Valinches, Carl Hassell and w. J. Baxter.
