The members of the Century Of
Progress Club were entertained by
Mrs. Alene Noel, $3.50 Scotch
avenue, Feb. 1. A program was
rendered in celebration of Negro
History Week, the guest speaker
being Everette Davies, OF Sierra
Leone, Africa, a graduate of Yale
and Harvard universities and Tai
ladega College. Mr.. Davies gave an
illustrated description of Ethiopia.
He discussed Italy's invasion of
that country, and said that since
there is a link between white peo-
ples of the world, there should al
so he universal brotherhood
among Negroes.
Visitors at the meeting were
Mesdames Davies and Nuttall.
The afternoon of Feb. Is was OBJ
served as continuation of the
Negro History Week celebration,
and the club members were guests
of Mrs. Elizabeth Parker, $500
West Kirby. Mrs. Brewer gave
brief sketch of the life of James
Weldon Johnson; Supt. r. r. Car

TO SPEAK AT

What is really happening in
Ethiopia? Are the Italians really
sweeping to triumph, or are their
victories of the fake variety, crea-
ted in Rome by Mussolini's paid
press agents? Can the Italians
ever hope TO crush the Philippians?
Josef Israels, brilliant young

ent and Pathe Newsreel editor, lie,

Ethiopian front and he will an
swer these questions in afternoon
and evening lectures at the De-
troit Institute of Arts next Sunday,
February 23 He speaks at $3.50
and $50 on "Ethiopia's Death
Struggle" with new and exclusive
motion pictures of the actual fight
ing. At the conclusion of these
lectures he will answer questions
from the audience.
Not only has Israels been at
tached ito the Ethiopian armies,
but he enjoys an intimate friend
ship with Emperor Halle Selassie
and with all of the Ethiopian
chieftians. He has had unusual
opportunities to observe the ETH
opian preparations and tactics. His
story not only sets forth his own
amazing adventures at the front,
but it promises to debunk the

venture Series at the Detroit In

non-prOfit venture which helps
support the Museums free educa-
tional activities.
Mr.. Israels' illustrated lecture is
expected to prove interesting to
citizens desiring first-hand infor-
nation about the Ethiopian
conflict, as it is in sharp contrast to
opinions on the subject, issues by
Floyd Gibbons, who has also just
returned from the Ethiopian war
front.
Mr.. Gibbons believes that, unless
European complications arise,
Italy will have little difficulty in
eventually conquering Ethiopia,
although he says it will probably
axe two years for the armies of
ii Duce to reach Adds Ababa.

could desire. until the affair near

morning. When the departing
guests retired to the cloak rooms to
don their wraps, things went
wrong. In the panicy rush many
took the wrong coats, hats, carri-
age boots, scarfs, and gloves.
Prior to the night of the dance,
the sponsors had taken the precau-
ton to ask the police authorities
that officers be provided on that
occasion, to protect the property
of the guests attending to see
that no rules were broken, and as
special consideration, it was re-
quested that only colored officers
be detailed for this duty. In com
pliance to the request, about a
score of patrolmen were on hand
on the night of the affair. All
was well until the officers left.
President Thomas r. Solomon,
of the local Alliance, was attend
ing the National Negro Congress
in Chicago on the night of the
party, and when he returned Mon
day, he began Immediately to
check up on what had been lost
in order to make adjustments.

LITERARY NOTE

Colncldent with warming up Of
the campaign blurbS the country 5
established publishing houses have
fallen head over heels in a wave
of political pulp.
Never before in the history Of
literature has SO much time and
effort been expended in putting
out volumes smacking so hardly
of propaganda.
There are. books on the govern
ment, analyses of government tune
tlonS, biographies of the prominent
men, collections of wiSecracks and
collections of cartoons.
Not many of them are consid-
cred to be examples of lasting
literary worth but all Of them
are reflecting a distinct turn to
more serious thought on the part
of the reading public and quite
a few of them are hitting close
to beSt-Seller records.
Congressional offices ar3 belnc
flooded with them and the ones
that the members aren't reading
are being deIved into by the help.
1t is also reported that Mrs.
Annie Riley Hale is reviving her
book on Theodore Roosevelt which
she wrote when ne boIted the

paign.

any selfishness in the decent Shar-
ing of grief as part of our common
lot. To give ones grief simply,
as one gives bread-that is a sra
cious thing. For those who weep
together, like those who eat to-
gether, satisfy a mutual need and
have a friendly communion.
But there's a vast difference
between the natural processes of
pain and a continual, public eX-
ploitation of the same. Remem-
ber the old verse. Laugh and
the world laughs with you-weep
and you weep alone? That
seems cruel, but it isn't. There's
a very sound basis for our cool
ness toward chronic grievers. We
try to hide that GOODNESS. We
force ourselves to act attentive
and sympathetic. But, secretly,
such sufferers get our goat.
