Housing Project
Gets Underway

The northside housing project is
finally getting under way, at least
to the extent of demolishing the
old buildings standing on the site.
This job will employ a considerable
number of men for a brief period
of time. The wage scale finally
agreed upon is forty cents per hour
for thirty hours a week, which is
lower than the unskilled rates paid
on most government projects.
Those who are to be given first
preference on the job will be men
eligible for WPA work but who
have not yet been placed. There
fore, those of our men who are in
terested in getting employment on
this project should Immediately go
to the Industrial Division of the
Employment Service, 218 End Ave-
nue. South. The low wage scale
will, of course, prohibit a number
of men from accepting the work,
but there must be a great many
whose relief budget does not exceed
the amount they could earn on this
job. There is a possibility that it
will be necessary to allow a num-
Der of exemptions, which means
that persons not on relief will be
eligible to work on this job. If
and when this is done, the League
will attempt to disseminate the in
formation as quickly as possible.

FORUM

T. Arnold Hill, Urban League
executive, was his own dispassion-
ate self as he addressed a large
St. Paul Minneapolis Forum audi
ence last Sunday at Phyllis Wheat
ley. After his talk, which ranged
quite freely over a wide field of
Negro interest, Mr.. Hill still re-
manned calm in the face of many
pointed questions, answering most
of them to the satisfaction of his
hearers. The meeting marked the
annual visit of the st. Paul Forum,
the attendance in consequence
greatly increased.

Urban League
Annual Meeting

In a previous announcement it
was stated that the dates on
which Mr.. Elmer A. Carter is
to speak in the Twin Cities
would be the 9th and 18th. We
wish to make a correction here.
Mr.. Carter speaks in Minneap-
oils on Thursday, March 26th,
and in st. Paul on Friday,
March 9th. A great deal of
interest is being shown in these
meetings, both by white and col
ored people, especially those
who have knowledge of Mr..
Carter's ability as a speaker.
The Twin City Urban League
invites the cooperation of
churches, social and civic organ
izations in the effort to insure
a large attendance at these re-
spective meetings.

HALLE Q. BROWN
SUNDAY FORUM

Have you but a vague idea OF
conditions in Mexico? Do you re-
call from your school days that you
we're taught that Central American
countries and Mexico were very
backward? Would you be sur
orised to know that now Mexico's
system of Adult Education is quite
advanced, that remarkable strides
have been made in reducing il
,iteracy among both the old and
young Mexicans of all classes ?
Professor Harold Benjamin, Asst.
Dean of the College of Education,
University of Minnesota, one of
The outstanding educators of our
country, will talk at the Halle @.
Brown Forum, Sunday, March 8,
on Revolutionary Education in
Mexico" Be sure to avail yourself
of the opportunity to hear Profess
sor Benjamin for not only is he
we'll informed on his subject from
an acquaintance with Mexican edu-
cation that dates back personally
to his experience as a soldier in
Mexican border skirmishes in 1918,
and from recent visits to Mexico
for the express purpose of study
ing the educational systems, but
he is one of the University's most
beloved speakers, always holding
his audience spellbound. Don't
forget the time and place, engrave
it on your memory. Attend the

26 lives have been saved in st.
Paul in one year. I think that is
worth considering seriously" Mr..
Cuthbert said. Furthermore, Mr..
Warren has checked gambling and
eliminated the slot-machines from
st. Paul. In past years these me-
chanical pick-pockets took hun
dreds of dollars from people and
put them in the pockets of gang
sters and racketeers. With the
elimination of the slot-machine,
the racketeers find it doesn't pay to
stay in st. Paul. That's why I'm
for Warren"

NORTH SIDE Y. M. C.. A.
CHURCH ATHLETIC

AS was predicted earlier in the
basketball season, the Border team
fulfilled the hope of their fondest
admirers by winning the North
Side Y. M. C. A. championship.
By virtue of their last two victories
they will represent the North Side
in the tournament for City laurels,
to be held early this month at the
Central Y. NJ. G. A.
The boys came through with
only one defeat to mar their
record, in their first campaign in
the Church League. That one up
set served as an inspiration to
Captain Lott and his teammates
who gave their best in each fol-
lowing game. The boys deserve
a world of credit for their show
ing, and the community, as well as
the Church is proud of them, both
for their ability and their splendid
craftsmanship. The league Off
Gals said that in every game they
displayed the finest spirit and
cleanest craftsmanship Of any
team in the league.

Welfare Agencies and Press
Pay Visit To Mendoza Camp;
Observe Transients There

Out at Mendoza few miles from
the Twin Cities, lies the Transient
Camp the government has provided
for it's colored, unattached and I'M
employed men. Rumors that some
dissatisfaction existed there in
duced Miss w. Gertrude Brown of
Phyllis Wheatley, Charles W.
Washington, secretary of the Ur-
ban League, and W. M. Smith of
the Press, to pay the camp a visit.
No Trouble
According to the superintendent
and the councillor in charge, who
were most courteous in giving in
formation, there is nothing in the
camp routine to invite worry save
that the men find the life monoto-
nous, going to work in the morn
ing, back for dinner, return to
work and back to bed at night.
Amusement Nee0e0
The great need as explained by
the superintendent is for. some
amusement that provides more of
a variety. The work is not hard;
the food is nourishing and ample,
the quarters comfortable, but the
sameness gets under the skin.
Arrange Entertainment
There are, living in the camp,
108 colored men and some 20 white,
the visitors learned. There seemed
to be no racial friction. There is
a large dining hall and a canteen
where the men gather for reading,
cards or such other entertainment
as may be offered. Miss Brown at
once arranged to bring a group
from Phyllis Wheatley for a
nights amusement, to be given
Friday night, March 6, music, tap
dancing, and one-act play, with
Mrs. Blanche o. Mason and Miss
Louise Bohanon in charge.
Religious Service
There has been no attempt to
establish regular religious services.
An occasional visiting pastor
brings a message. Otherwise
Sunday is just another day, but
without any work to perform. The
Urban League secretary will bring
this to the attention of the Min
isters' Alliance and ask them to
supply the need.
Beautiful Site
The camp occupies high ground
a mile or two beyond the Mendoza
bridge. The view is fine, even on
a winter day, and in the summer
time is said to be wonderfully at
tractive. The rooms of the build
ings are decorated with paintings
and carvings made by the men.
Whatever is desired to make this
camp and it's personnel more use
full to the purpose of it's establish
ment will be attempted by the
Twin City Communities.

COMMENT
By w. M. SMITH

'NNN~~N~~~~~~SS~~~~~~
Sitting at dinner at the Nicollet
Hotel last week at the Council of
Social Agencies Good Government
program, I could but compare the
dinner, for which the charge was
one dollar per plate, with other
dinners at the Phyllis Wheatley,
certain church societies, etc., for
which a much smaller sum was
asked. The hotel dinner was sat-
isfactory and the service all it
should have been. But so were the
dinners at Phyllis Wheatley and
the churches. The difference is
that the hotel intended to make,
and did make, money from it's din
ner. The patrons of the Phyllis
Wheatley and church dinners are
surprised that these institutions
should want to make anything on
their investment. 1t would be we'll,
indeed, if our folks would attend
more often, such affairs as the
Nicollet Hotel and other gather
ings, where a price commensurate
with the service is asked and
freely given. Then perhaps we
would develop a better apprecia-
ton for the most excellent menus
served by our own group and cease
to complain of their very reason
able cost.
The cOlOred citizens of Michigan,
and particularly of Detroit, have
organized to meet their pressing
problems with much of success in
a way to give pause to other COM
munities in like situations. Their
example could be followed with
equal success.
They have a civil rights commit
tee that really gets results. 1t is
sponsored by the foremost citizens,
who work for the best interest of
the community, ask no pay; &C
cept no brides from any source, be
it political or otherwise. Definite
information of the economic stu
alton is compiled, mailed to men,
bers of the city council, to some
900 ministers to interested civic
organizations, and to citizens,
white and black, who profess or
should have an interest in the facts
adduced. Among other startling
disclosures they have established
the fact that Detroit has 1870 of
the population and only 10 of the
local government employees.
Statistics of Municipal Employ
ment show a total of 70, 1864 whites
and POL cOlOred. According to the
ratio of population the Negro
group should have over a thousand
on the payrOlls. They demand for
the Negro work and not philan-
thrOpy.
This broadcast information is
awakening Detroit citizens of both
races to conditions that need ad-
justment. Citizens of these groups
appreciative of the honest able eff
forts of the committee, donate
funds to carry on the work. Pam
phlets giving the facts are pub
lished and distributed through the
churches. Thus in a definite, con-
crete way the actual situation of
the Detroit Negro cries aloud for
redress. Every citizen hears. Many
are answering.

NEW DESTROYER
 OF GERMS FOUND
Silver Oxide Powder Be- comes Powerful Germ
 Killer

Philadelphia, (UP)-Medical sci- ence once again has come to the aid of mankind with the discovery O. d new ana powerful non-poiSon- ous germ killer.
 The finding of silver oxide powder, produced from any silver salt by addition of sodium or po- tassium hydroxide, bridges a great gap in the use of silver as a medicine, medical men say. The oxide, a brown powder, was de- scribed for the first time at a meeting of the American Philoso- phical Society in session in Phila- delphia.
 The germicidal, the chemistry of which was explained by John J. Muller, professor of chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, where the discovery was made, combines silver nitrate and col loidal silver.
 Nitrate too Strong
 Silver nitrate, a salt, is probably one of the most potent germicides, but burns. Colloidal silver IS mliu, but lacks much of the metals germicidal ability.
 The new powder. when mixed with paraffin. makes a saive for external use and 1t will dissolve :n water for use internally.
 A test proving it's non-toxicat- Ing properties was made substitut- ing the germ killer for drink ing water and given to baby chicks. On the "silver water" the chicks grew to full feather and showed no signs Of Tetardation or bad effects.
 Tests for medicinal effects were made tn conjunction with pr. William Lentz. Of the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the
