45OS HIGHLAND AVENUE,
BETHESDA, MD.

This is a delightful little house.
It is brand-new, detached, with all
of the newest equipment and mod
ern in every detail. There are five
rooms, two of which are bedrooms
and one a lovely well-arranged liv-
ing room. The kitchen is note
worthy for all the work and cab
met space is compactly assembled.
The lot is 60x100, giving you plenty
of ground for a little garden and
flower beds. One point I would
like to draw attention to is the fact
this house boasts slate root
which is very important in the Sc
lection of a home. There is also
a detached garage, a particularly
nice one. To inspect drive out
Wisconsin Avenue, three squares
north of the Bank of Bethesda,
then turn right on Highland
Avenue, or call Bradley 244 for
appointment to see.

Twin Town Talk

This and That: Brother Detec-
tive Mitchell of the st. Paul police
force thinks people ought not buy
this paper. Maybe Brother
Mitchell thinks we might print
something about him sometime
that's an idea, we might. The
st. Paul hotel whose elevator op-
orators refused to carry a cullud
radio artist, referring him to the
freight elevator, may soon have to
pay plenty for violation of Min
nesota's civil rights laws. When
you are refused service in any pub
lie place, the thing to do is not
talk about it. Hire yourself a
lawyer and collect damages. Keep
ing prejudiced firms in court every
day will keep discrimination away.
The lads and lassies are all wait
ing for the coming of Duke FL
ington whose band is supposed to
follow Glen Gray's Casa Iona or
chestra into the Minneapolis Ho-
tel Nicollet. That st. Paul boy
who punched a roughneck in the
beezer for profanity before ladies
deserves a medallion as does the
16-year-old girl who quit school
to help her older sister get a Uni
versity degree. If you ask US,
we think King Edwards love bust
ness is his business. Twin City
colored people are still laughing
because Rayfield Johnson and Ru-
fus Brown, ordinary macquereau,

that the contract had been fully

Harry Taylor OF
"Mounties'' Dies
Vancouver, 3. c.

B. C. $50
Harry Taylor, native born Ca
madam, one time a member of the
famous Northwest Mounted Po-
lice, died recently in Vancouver,
B. c. A brief notice in the North
west Enterprise, week ending De-
cember 9Th, conveyed the sad in
formation. Mr.. Taylor was of In
dian extraction, but identified him
self with the Negro race. He had
all the characteristics of his peo-
pie a logged determination
and loyalty that left its impress
sion upon those with whom he was
closely associated. He has left an
enduring monument deeply en-
graved in the heart and mind of
every Mason OF the Prince Hall
origin in the Pacific Northwest.
It was he, who in the face of
terrific opposition, that success
fully planted on British soil in
Western Canada, the Masonry of
Prince Hall, inherited from the re-
vival of the Mother Grand Lodge
of England, 1717, and handed
down to Negroes by a British
travelling army Lodge at Boston,
March 6, 1775. To him was given
the honor or first Worshipful Mas
ter of True Resolution Lodge, F.
& A. M, of Vancouver, BIC,
that marked in bright letters that
glow an achievement that will re-
dound to his fame and industry
as long as the craft exists on the
Western shores of the Pacific
Ocean and the British Flag floats
produly in the breeze
Respected for sobriety and faith
fulness, this native son of Canada
was indeed worthy and well queli-
fled. Many an old friend shed a
tear and lamented sincerely the
passing of one who laid out upon
the trestle board of Masonry plans
for the ancient craft ito pursue
its labor. A good citizen, an up
right man has gone to his reward
travelling upon that level of time
to that undiscovered country
from whose bourne no traveller has
ever returned.
Bon voyage, Harry! Hail and
FAREWELL Rest from your labo-

staff, made an investigation of the
conditions at the New Hampton

was segregation in the dormitories
and in the kinds of work assigned
to the inmates
Segregation in the dormitories is
also abolished and changes in the
