was passing the Banks residence
on st. Anthony, CODY was in front
of the house, scared stiff to go in
because a storm window from one
of the upstairs windows was lying
on the ground. She just knew
there was burglar in the house.
Mr.. Taylor rescued the young lady,
took her in the house, looked I'M
der all the beds and in the closets,
as well as any place else where
providers hide. Thinking he had
convinced her that it was just the
wind that had blown the window
to the ground, he went on his way.
CODY hadn't been convinced at all.
She came out of the house and
stood on the sidewalk until hubby
came from work.

ECONOMIC RETIREMENT LIES
in COOPERATIVE EFFORTS
SAYS GOVERNMENT ADVISER

Atlanta, Ga.-Special-Hope of
improving the almost hopeless
conditions of life that face many
of the colored people in this coun-
try lies in some form of self-help
cooperative activity, Tage Palm,
field adviser on cooperatives Tor
the Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration, told the students of
Spelman and Morehouse Colleges
in talks this week at their respec-
tive morning chapels. Earlier Mr..
Palm had met with the faculty
members and students in the de-
partments of the social science in
the Atlanta University affiliation.
The visit to Atlanta of Mr..
Palm, who is a native Of Sweden
and we'll known authority on the
cooperative movement in Europe
and in the United States, was ar
ranged by President Hope of At
lanta University before his last
illness.
The idea of cooperation among
people for their own well-being
seems to come to them when they
have reached the condition of
greatest distress, Mr.. Palm observ-

ed. Because the Negro people are
suffering from most serious eco
nomic and social handicaps, he
emphasized the urgent necessity
of their getting together to pro-
vide means of supplying the pri-
mary necessities Of life, such as
food, housing, clothing, funeral
benefits, and business. He advised
that any self-help cooperative
should begin with the setting up
of the means of retail distribution
of food and other necessities, and
that in course of time the estab-
lishment of the machinery for
wholesale distribution and of pro-
duction should follow.
AS a noteworthy example of the
power of cooperative effort, Mr..
Palm told of the success of the
Rochdale movement Of England
which began in 1914 with the or
ganization of a cooperative gro
Gerry by a group of impoverished
weavers who each contributed an
equivalent of five dollars, and
which has developed into the big
gest business enterprise in Eng
land. He cited also the movement

Motorist Urged
To o erve
Speed Limit

The 20 mile speed limit Is NOT
lust an arbitrary figure but is bas-
ed on the natural laws of speed,
momentum and distance. The
weight Of your car, plus certain
speed. requires a definate distance
in which to stop. This is a fixed
rule and applies to every motor
car. IT CANNOT BE CHANGED
AT WILL OR TO MEET CERTAIN
CONDITIONS. Therefore, it should
be clear that every city ordinance
is based on this FACT, not to in
convenience YOU, but TO PRO-
VIDE A GREATER MEASURE OF
SAFETY.
The constantly increasing num-
Der of automobiles automatically
decreases the safe speed limit"
and requires keeping your car un-
der safe control" more so than
ever before, especially in city traf-

g. M.-DO you think will be
successful In selling my lot this
yeari
Ans: Property in the part of the
country where your lot is located
isn't valued very highly now, and
you'll never get as much out of
is as you paid for it. If you ex-
pect to rid yourself of this land in
1886 you'll surely have to cut
down on the price you ask for 1t.
n. X. H.-DO you think my sis
ter will be able 10 hear again?
Ans: Your sister has been vast
ing time as we'll as money during
the past two years with the va
rious remedies she has been us
ing to try to regain her hearing
If she had been under the care OF
this specialist during this period,
she would have practically nothing
to worry about now. This spe-
cialist will bring her hearing al
most back to normal.
n. G.-Please tell me II l will
be successful in carrying out my
plans!
Ans: Because of the circum-
stances which exist in your home,
you shouldn't even try to take
trip this summer. You will not
carry out your plans for it appears
that your mother will influence
you to save your money to further
your education.

my life at this time. Which one
should l consider the best bet?

teristics of the tire boys in ques-
ton, w. w. would be the best bet.

Todd Duncan May Quit Stage
After 'Porgy and Bess' Closes

Chicago-(By Frank Marshall
Davis for ANP)-Skyrocketed to
dizzy heights by his work in
"Porgy and Bess," the folk-opera
now playing to packed houses at
the Erlanger theatre here, Todd
Duncan nevertheless may leave
the dazzling glamor of the stage
and return to the routine of the
college classroom when his tour is
over. From Howard diversity he
acme and back to Howard he may
go.
This was revealed by the 39
year old baritone singer last
week. Duncan says that as he sees
it now, he will remain in the
world of footlights on only one
condition.
Should / be offered a dignified
role, one not that of a comedian
and permissible of Interpretation
by an intelligent Negro, and if l
could be assured of working all
the time instead of just 10 or II
weeks and being idle the other 40
odd, then l would remain on the
stage" the star declared.
The world of the theatre Is nag
nificent, Duncan asserted, but it is
so uncertain. There is plenty of
Negro talent available for even
the most eXacting of serious roles,
but the opportunities to exercise
this ability are all to infrequent
he averted.
Born i'm Kentucky
AS most people know by now,
Duncan was born in Danville, Ky.
and finished public school there.
He received his A. B. from But
Ter university in Indianapolis in
1925 and his NJ. A. from Columbia
university in New York during
1880. For five years he taught In
the Louisville high school. This
would have been his sixth year as
a professor of voice in the How
ard school of music had not he
been offered his big chance on the
stage. Incidentally Duncan started
studying the piano at the age OF
five at home under his mothers
tutellage.
