THE NEW NEGRO
He scans the world with calm and

Conscious within of powers long

At every step, new man-made bar

To bar his progress-but he

streamline chassis enclosed in a
too-tight skirt swished by. The lads
looked after her in appraising con-
temptation for a while, and then
a certain inesman quipped bright
ly: Fourth down and goal to go,
boys!"
THEL THURSTON embarras-
sed me so with that account Of my
love life that / had to take a week
off! But Thel is a swell gal and
one of my favorite people, so all is
forgiven. Incidentally, she has
been making fine progress in the
Journalism department over at
school, and this week Pm going to
tell you something about her.
Thel came up here from Kansas
City, Kansas, four years ago, and
entered the "U." At that time she
was the most shy, retiring infant
imaginable, and as studious as the
devil. You never caught Thel in
those days without her head buried
in a book. But the Minnesota eli
mate, or perhaps the collegiate at
mosphere, soon got under her skin,
and she began to look around and
take an interest in things. 1t was
not long before she had a finger
in Y. w. G. A. and w. S. G. A.
| (Women's Self Government Asso-
ciation) activities out on the
campus. 4. In fact, she went Sc
far as to be elected to the Fresh
man Cabinet Of the w. S. G. A.
She quit wearing those gosh-awful
hats she used to scare people with
and began to be quite fashion
plate. She entered the Journalism
school two years ago and in two
jifys she was calling all her in
structors by their first names and
acquiring large circle of friends.
She graduates from Journalism in
June, and can then jump right into
any one of a half dozen jobs which
viii be waiting for her. She is
about the only dame in the depart
ment who can scoot into the Min
nesota Daily office and successfully
borrow any amount of coin from a
nickel to five bucks. She knows
everybody over there, and is the
only one who doesn't bat an eye
lash when AL Kosek, the Daily
editor, gets tough and threatens to
throw the whole blasted staff out.
She can go to public luncheons
and as sure as Christmas, some big
shot viii buy her lunch for her.
Last time she went to one, Sherm
Pease, the leader of the Junior
Ball, footed her bill. She has her
moods when she bites off anyone's
head who even speaks to her, but
the moods never last long, thank
goodness. She has a yen to go to
the South Seas and relax, but she
tells that to her best friends only.
She is Dean of Pledges of the Min
nesota chapter of Alpha Kappa
Alpha, and was recently elected to
the honorary Journalism sorority
of Theta Sigma Phi, but she has
not gone snooty and is still chum-
my with common folks. She likes
parties, poetry, and highballs, and
doesn't want to graduate from col
lege because she's having too
much of q gala time. Keep your
eye on the woman, because I pre-
dict she's gonna go places and be
somebody one Of these days.

The James Weldon johnson Lit
erary Club met at the home of
Mrs. Louis Mason with Mrs. Julia
Douglass presiding. The members
entered into a discussion on "Are
We AS Mothers Making Good
American Citizens" led by Mrs.
Cason. Mrs. Clotiel Harris was
surprised by the hostess with a
beautiful birthday cake, the day
being her birthday. After the
meeting, delightful dinner was
served. A benefit tea will be given
by the club Sunday, March IL, at
the home of Mrs. Mae L. Porter,
655 st. Anthony Ave. Mrs. Louise
Hargraves has charge of arrange
ments. Mrs. Julia Douglass will be
hostess to the next regular meet
ing at 403 Western Ave.

suits: Mrs. Leila Boyd, president;
Freddie Slemmons, vice president;

luncheon was served.
@. T. CLUB OPENS
Tonight, March first, is the
night of nights for the various
members of the new @. T. club.
The select membership is opening
its new rendezvous this evening in
blaze of glory.
The roster of the club, as the
name indicates, is on the @. T. So
it will be interesting for the promi-
nent people of the Twin Cities to
see who will be there. Of course
it is well known that the members
of this exclusive club will not have
to mix with the "riff-raff." This
is an objective the society has long
endeavored to reach; where it
could go out for an evenings
pleasure and not be annoyed by
the next days gossip. The club
is to be a pseudo cabaret with a
very famous person to do the en-
tertaining.
One hundred and fifty persons
will be admitted to membership.
Cards of invitation have been is
sued to them. The first fifty will
be honorary members; a nominal
fee will be charged the remaining
hundred.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Said to be designed to avoid stirring up i'll will, prominent House members are reported to be seeking a com promise on the arms embargo law instead of passing the Senate meas ure.

 President Speaks
 President Roosevelt made sur- prise reference to the nations con- at!tution in a radio address to Boy Scouts Camps over the country. He said: @The individual who by in- action or opposition slows honest, practical, far seeing community ef- fort is holding back civilization and objectives of the constitution.n
 The Amercan Liberty League cele- brated it's first birthday with the contention that the New Deal cannot continue under the con- stitution." 4
 Observers thought they saw in the Presidents speech a hint of the strategy the administration will fol- low in fighting critics who assail the New Deal on constitutional rights.

These last two bring bitter cold and hesRy snow storms to the eastern portion of the United States when the prevailing storm winds, blowing from west to east from the Aleutian area, do not sweep them out to the Atlantic Ocean.
 Coming to the Matanuska Valley project, Father Hubbard said, "The project is sound I repeat what I said in Time Magazine, If they (the colonists) are good enough for the 3lntsy, the country is good enough or tilem''
