A preacher, Rev. Bexton, of
Benton Harbor, recently sent a let

menting upon the knockout
punches which the Colored boys,
who represented Uncle Sam, hand
ed to the Italian champions who
represented Mussolini and Italy.
In his letter. the Benton Harbor
preacher, who labors under the de-
fusion that he is a Christian,
bares his withered soul by protest
ing against letting Colored fight

advances the argument that as the

Delving into the archives of
achievements, and progress there
seems to be something lacking.
With due respect for their ac-
complishments, they seem likened
to an empty bowl-high sides and
empty depth.
The empty depth is more realis-
tic when we consult talented
Colored men and women, both
young and old, who invested time
and money in mastering their re-
spective vocations and professions
to find that their investments were
bad. More realistic when univer-
sity and high school graduates
proudly receive their degrees and
diplomas to suddenly find there
is no place for them, no Colored
factories in which to work at their
vocrtions, no Colored businesses
to absorb the clerks and stenog-
raphers, no contractors to hire
them for their engineering skill.
Does this not seem like an emp
ty depth? Do you not come to
the same conclusion when, in al
most any of the shops on our bust
est streets, you find to your dis
may and surprise the portly Col
ored gentleman you thought to be
the proprietor was merely the
manager? If so, then the depth is
justified.

Young Chicago Artists
Form Music League

In deciding to launch The Jun
Tor Music League its founder was
fully aware of the many existing
musical organisations, societies,
and clubs, some of them for child
rem under adult leadership. 1t was
obvious, however, that all such
present organizations had drawn
their memberships from children
lasa.srttrs- efy- n1srested and
working in music. The purpose of
The league is fundamentally diff
ferent in that its appeal is direct
ed to beginners, or rather to child
rem who have had no intimate
personal experience in music such
as the playing of musical instru-
ment provides.
For years, educators have rec
ognized music as q great social
force. Music has we'll been called
the universal art. loved and I'M
derstood by all people. Music
unites the minds and hearts of
people wherever they may be as
sembled; it expresses most effect
lively the common interest of the
group and molds the feelings of
all into one unified whole. For
these reasons, music is used so ex-
tensively in all public meetings, in
religious worship and in social and
fraternal gatherings.
The Junior Music League aims
to attract all children to the study
of music by appealing to their in
herent social instincts. This q the
same urge that makes the neother

Business Man
Pays $50 For
BIG Mistake

After it had been conclusively
shown that he had tempered with
a mans job by sending a fraudu-
lent wage assignment to the Ar
thur Dixon Transfer company in
an effort to force John Harden,
1925 State street, to pay a bill
which he did not owe, l. L. Gold
berg, a furniture dealer at 1921
State street, was ordered to pay
a judgment of $50 and costs by
Judge George Weiss Tuesday.
1t was brought to the atten-
tion of the court by Attorney
Richard E. Westbrooks, Harden's
counsel, that Hubert Harden, a
son, purchased some furniture
from Goldberg, in December and
made a down payment of 81. At
the time, young Harden was en-
ployed by the same firm which
employs his father. After MAX
ing two or three payments young
Harden was laid off and thus
further payments were not made.
Goldberg is said to have asked
the father to sign the agreement
so that he would be sure of get
ting the money. The father re-
fused. Goldberg then used the
blank assignment signed by the
elder Harden in 1880 and filled in
the articles purchased by the son
last December.
Attorney made a stirring plea
to the court asking that something
be done to curb the practice of
some credit dealers who wrong
fully send notice of assignment of
wages, forcing those persons who
do not owe money to pay any
how.

TA|LORS LOSE
IN SERIES

Rinaldi Tailors had a loss be-
side their name today, but they
still had the consolation that
there was to be another day,
come another, Sunday.
The local lads lost to the
Gettysburg Fleetwings, "A to 18,
in the George washington Uni
versity gymnasium yesterday. The
game was the first of a play-off
series for the Tri-State Semi-pro
championship. Next Sunday the
two teams will meet again in
the second game of the series. A
site will be announced later.
The Tailors were handicapped
by the absence of Ed Hargaden,
Georgetown University ace, who
had been signed to play. At the
last moment, word was received
from Georgetown that Hargaden
could not play because Of a
scholastic ruling at the institu-
ton whereby an athlete cannot
play on the outside until having
graduated altogether.
The Fleetwings piled up an
early lead to start winning the
game hands down. At the half
it was % to 4. This clearly in
dicates the Tailors' mood by the
loss of Hargaden.
Kitzmiller and Heller led the
visitors with IL and 16 points, re-
spectively. Sweeney was high
scorer for the Tailors with seven
points.
In a fast preliminary, the
Shol!'s Cafe five defeated the
Jewish Community Center bas-
keteers, a. to "a. It was the
first loss of the season for the
latter.
