employment phase of its work.

Crowd Applauds
Three-Act Play

The three-aet play-the FELTON,
Mystery-was given at Phyllis
Wheatley Tuesday night, Novem-
Der II, before an audience which
comfortably filled the auditorium.
In addition to its sequence of
thrills the play presented some
new and talented amateurs as well
as "a number of better known
artists. Mrs. Estella Sims won
tumultuous applause from the au-
dience. Others who were well re-
ceived were Mrs. Mae Marshall,
Mrs. Alice Whitley, Mrs. Ruby
Craig, Mrs. Lucille Jordan and
Mrs. Freda Faison and Messrs. S.

President Madison in response to
resolutions from Congress set

President Lincoln appointed the
last Thursday of November, 1864,

Wednesday, November 26, 8 P. M.
The case is probably the most
important from the point of view
of the rights of labor and of the
Negro people on the calendar of
the Supreme Court. The sentence
was pronounced under pre-Civil
war slave instruction law, and if
upheld in this case is applicable as
a statute outlawing all labor or
ganization in Georgia.
The constitutionality of the Geor-
gia law viii be squarely before the
Supreme Court in the Herndon ap-
peal. Herndon's attorneys re-
tanned by the international Labor
Defense, will demand a clear-cut
declaration of the unconstitution-
atty of the statute and that it be
wiped off the statute books.
The fifty-fifth convention of the
American Federation of Labor
passed a resolution calling on all
unions to back the fight to abolish
the Georgia slave instruction law,
and supporting the Georgia FEEDER
alton of Labor to that end.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
National Bar Association, Church
League for Industrial Democracy,
Methodist Federation of Social
Service, Justice Commission of the
Central Conference of American
Rabbis, American Civil Liberties
Union, and outstanding churchmen
and attorneys joined together in
drawing up and presenting a brief
amicis curiae and writ of certiorari
to the U. S. Supreme Court.
A drive for 100000 signature
petition to Governor Talmadge was
sponsored by eleven national or
CARNATIONS, including such diverse
elements as the Socialist Party,
Communist Party, and powerful
church groups. Among the first
to sign the petition was Governor
Floyd B. Olson of Minnesota, who
also refused to debate with Gov
ernor Talmadge in Georgia, stating
that if he did so he would prob
ably be sent to the chain gang with
Angelo Herndon.
Herndon is now on nationwide
tour. The organizations sponsoring
the Twin Cities meetings include
the International Labor Defense,
Federation Of Negro Women's
Clubs, Workers Alliance, Miscel-
laneous Local 665, Council of
Negro Youth, National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People, and the Young Com
munist League.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

NO other American is so deeply
revered as Abraham Lincoln
and that reverence finds SYM
bolic expression in scores of
monuments to his memory
throughout the land. The i'm
press of his personality is deeply
craven on the heart of the ma.
ton. The sobriquets under which
he is still known to all of Am.
erica-Honest Abe, The Rail
Splitter. the Great Emancipation
are a measure of the love
which informs that reverence.
Abe Lincoln was humbly born
at H~odgenville, Kentucky, in
l809-on February IL. which is
now a national holiday in com.

spite of poverty and misfortune,

The dress, the saleswoman said,

working girls.

THIRD INSTALMENT

Miss Nudge seemed uncertain of
herself and shot a birdlike glance
along the table, but no one was
paying any attention, except to
push her out of the way. As soon
as she felt the pressure of bodies
around her, Miss Rudge took hold
of herself and produced a handful
of counters from her bag. She'd
show Monte Carlo.
Macduff wondered how long she
had been playing this game. He
could see from the expression on
her face that she had decided her
counters were as good as anyone
else's. She picked her numbers
with care and distributed them de-
family. The wheel spun, and she
watched it with a puckered, myopic
gaze. The counters disappeared
with amazing speed and left no
trace. Miss Nudge dived into her
purse, then shook her head. Her
grey straw hat was slipping over
one ear from all the pushing and
showing, but she seemed in hilarious
spirits, excited by her surroundings.
She suddenly spied Macduff and
recognized him for some one from
the Marenia. That was enough
for her. In a moment she was
standing in front Of him, twinkling
owlishly through her glasses.
"Just think, I've been losing all
my money" she announced, as if
that were an everyday occurrence
in her life.
'Well, what of it," said Mac
duff ungraciously.
"Oh, I beg your pardon"
Miss Nudge stepped back and he
felt impelled to make grumpy
amends. "Do you want a lift to
the boat? l have a car"
She looked at him questioningly
for a moment, then frightened up.
"That would be kind of you," she
said.
Miss Mudge's elation faded as
soon as her cabin door was closed.
She sat on the edge of her bed and
wondered if it had been so clever
of her, after all, to have lost forty
of her precious five hundred dol
lars. She hadn't intended to stake
more than a quarter at a time, but
she had won five dollars at the
start, and that had seemed so ex-
citing that she had gone on and on
to ruin. "You're a fool, Alice
NUDGE" she told herself, severely.

The proper treatment
for a bilious child
THREE STEPS

NY mother knows the reason
IA when her child stops playing, eats
little, is hard to manage. Constipation.
But what a pity so few know the
sensible way to set things right
The ordinary laxatives, of even
ordinary strength, destroy all hopes
Of restoring regularity.
A liquid laxative is the answer,
mothers. The answer to all your
worries over constipation. A liquid
can be measured. The dose can be
exactly suited to any age or need.
Just reduce the dose each time, until
the bowels are moving of their own
accord and need no help.
This treatment will succeed with
any child and Nth any adult.
Doctors use a liquid laxative.
Hospitals use the liquid form. If it
is best for their use, it is best for
home use. The liquid laxative they
generally use is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup

454. She was sitting by herself in
a corner, enveloped in a Spanish
shawl, with peoples too large for
her size.
The handsome officer she had
seen about the boat was moving in
her direction.
Wont you dance with me?"
asked Dick. bowling formally over
her.
She snatched at the fringe Of her
shawl and looked at him in con-
fusion. She was much too nervous
to rise to her feet.
"Oh, do come on" he urged her.
"This is a good tune"
A flock a nervous fears went
chasing one another across Miss
Mudge's sensitive face; then some
thing propelled her to her feet.
Miraculously Miss Mudge's step
was suddenly in tune with the chief
officers, and he had her firmly
clasped by the Spanish shawl, whirl-
ing her around with such speed
hat she soon forgot about her feet.
Her head swan with excitement
and she caught a whiff of tobacco
that made her faint. She had never
been clutched to a mans chest like
this before. Her head brushed his
sleeve and she shivered with joy.
,, When the music ended, he led
her back to a little table. She look
ed about with an elated air.
"What will you have to drink?'
asked Dick, disentangling himself
from the fringes of her shawl and
spying her pink chiffon dress.
Miss Nudge blushed. "Thank
you," she said, "but I never drink,
You see, I'm a White Ribboner."
"A WHAT" echoed Dick.
"a White misunderstanding
you know"
"Oh, I see. Band of Hope"
He looked at her with a rising
CLEAN of interest. She was really
unique-her spirit twinkled bright
ly through the faded shell of her
/ flesh. 1t would be fun to tease
her a little.
"But you can't possibly go round
the world without having a drink"
he protested. cit wouldn't be de-
cent. Let me order you something
gentle that won't bite"
Miss Nudge was half-persuaded.
Lights leaped in her eyes; she nod
ded her head. Dick decided to get
her a creme de menthe. She sat
very straight in her chair, with her
hands folded nervously under her
shawl. At times she shot timid
glances at her companion, not quite
sure what he might be going to do
next. The drinks came, and Dick
toasted her.
