Disciple Of Father
Divine Pays 6-year
Old Debt for Seals

New York, Sept. 11-Peaceful
Love, formerly known by a differ
ert name before she became a dis
ciple of Father Divine, paid this
week a six-year old debt to the
N.A.A.C.P for Christmas seals
which she received but did not pay
for. In her letter transmitting a
money order for $3.50 she writes
that she pays this debt because OF
Father Divine's teaching and his
advocacy f Legislation making it
a criminal offense for any indi-
vidual to spend money except for
necessities of life, while he owes
a just debt to any other individual
or organization"

has done some very worth while
things-for example, along the
line of dramatic art in Negro col
leges-but these are always re-
stricted to non-credit activities. 1t
seems a bit harsh TO withhold ex-
tension and correspondence credits
from Negro students, even when
there is no question of residence,
work or social contact involved.
Yet, these r the facts; and |
hope that our southern white uni

Closing Arguments
For "New Deal"
In the South

Chapel Hill, N. C. calvin Ser
vice)-The closing arguments of
the speech of Prof. Guy B. John
son of the University of North Car
DINA, before the Institute on Re-
gional Development, for a New
Deal' for the colored people in the
South, follow: Zone thing which
we need very much to do is to
make the better white university
libraries more accessible to Ne
gro scholars innear-by institutions.
Does it not seem a bit stupid to
make a Negro professor forego
research ON his particular problem
except when he can get away to
Chicago or Columbia or some other
northern school while ALL the time
he has been living within the shad-
ow of a good library? These
things go on much more than we
realize. | know a number of first
rate Negro scholars teaching in
the South who would give almost
anything to be able to use a uni
versiy library. In some S they
could have the use of the library
for the asking, but so many of
I these Negroes have learned from
bitter experience that their re-
ception may be anything but cor
dial that they simply forego this
privilege rather than risk the dan
ger of being insulted or Jim
Crowed.
"Another thing which could very
easily be done is the matter of CO
crdinating the future expansion Of
white and Negro Libraries in GER
tain educational centers. | have in
mind such centers as Durham
Chapel Hill, Atlanta, Nashville
and New Orleans. 1t is out of the
question for any one library to at
tempt any longer to provide itself
with all the works published in a
particular field. If the various col
leges in centers such as these
could get together and agree on
certain specia!ties in which thy
would avoid expensive duplication
in the future, they would then be
able to go ahead in a coordinated
manner. | might mention the pro-
gress which has already been made
along this line at Duke and the
University of North Carolina. Re
Gently these universities wre Civ
en- a grant for books on the con-
dition that they eliminate d%uplica-
ion in their purchases. The ma
chinery for this has already been
set up and several thousand books
have been added to each of these
Libraries. Each library has provid-
d the other with a duplicate author
catalogue of its holdings SO that it
is possible to find out in a few
seconds whether the other library
possesses a certain work. Thus we
no longer purchase comparatively
and haphazzardly, and in a few
years these two libraries combined
should rank among the best in the
United States in certain fields. If
this plan were enlarged upon to in
other colleges, white and Negro, in

Omaha, Nebr.
Dear Mr. Gesman:
I am a citizen, home owner
and taxpayer, and [ have lived
IN Omaha for the past % years.
During my entire stay in On
aha, I have paid my taxes, part
of which goes to support the
Institution over which you are
the Superintendent. When my
wife, the late Mrs. Mintie Price,
2411 n. 22nd St., was commit
ted to the County Hospital, it
happened to be my first time to
ask aid from the county. | feel
perfectly justified in making
application to the Douglas Co.
hospital. A man of moderate
means who had a wife to ling
err under the care of doctors,
some of which were the best in
the city, part of the time she
sepnt in a hospital, for a period
covering seven long years,
should be eligible to pull the
bell cord of distress and ask
for help. If a person is forced
to place his loved one in the
County hospital, | do think in
fairness to humanity, to Whom
1t May Be, the help should not
assume the attitude of a prison
personnel.
Below | shall register my
complaint;
On or about August l, 1886,
l took my wife Mrs. Mintie
Price, to the Douglas Co. hos
pital, thinging her condition
might improve over her
home care. After observing
there was no noticeable i'm
provement in her condition, |
called at the hospital in com
rany with a lady, Tuesday ev-
eniag, August 1lCh and asked
permission to take my wife
back back home. A man was
sent with us to the women's
division, Mrs. Adeline Jones,
2415 N. 22nd ST., the man in
question, and myself composed
the trio, for the purpose of
bringing her out of the hospital
in a wheel chair. The time was
about 900 p. m. This man will
weigh about 200 pounds, and
I should judge his age at past
60 years. | have received in
formation however, that his
name is, Chas. B. Sharpe. AT
ter my wife had been dressed,
by the nurse and Mrs. Jones,
and placed in the wheel chair,
this man showed her out into
the hallway, Notwithstanding
her weakened condition. Mrs.
Jones advised this man that my
wife was leaning to the front
too far, and would be apt to
fall out of the chair, and just
as she become oyerbalanced in
the act Of falling forward out
of the chair, Mrs. Jones rushed
quickly and grabbed her. This
man replied to Mrs. Jones,
"Take your hands off of her,
| have been wheeling sick peO-
pie out of here for more than
four years and | know my bus
mess" In as much as my wife
had subsequently fallen out of
bed twice in the ward room, We
knew it would have been an
easy matter for her to have fall
en- out of the wheel chair.
This man was admonished by
both of lis that this woman was
a very sick person, and he was
not exercising proper precau-
ton for her safety, w%hereupon
he seized her in the back of the
collar with such force she could
scarcely draw her breath. He
seized her in the same fashion
that a person would seize a dog
in the collar, in an attempt to

 Regardless of Vests discards, declarer was able to enter dummy with the diamond king, and would have enough set up cards to dis card his two losing spades.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
Signal Is Boomerang Drop of High Card Tells Partner What to Return, But Warns Declarer and
 Contract Is Made
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary OS the American Hridge League

The come-on signal is one of the most elementary of defense plays. For most players, 1t marks the dawn of thoughtful bridge--it raises the curtain which gives one the first glimpse of the games llmitless pos- abilities.
 Bridge provides many thrills. but few can equal the first realization that ono can call for a certain lead by discarding high spot card.
 Like all new toys, however. this one is likely to be abused. The in- experienced player will signal at every opportunity, without consid- cring whether the requested lead will actually provide the best de- fense.
 Todays hand shows how an ill., timed signal may wreck the de- fcnse. The dcclarcr was Thomas R. Brown of Pittsburgh, and he was quick to take advantage of a de- fcnsive error which enabled him Co set up pretty squeeze play.
