wore number Sc; Harris, number
AZ; Bell, number 81; Reed, number
&c; and Don Simmons, number II.
When Simmons left the game
late in the fourth quarter, the
crowd gave him an ovation which
should ring in his ears for a long
time. The same was accorded
Harris when he left.
Minnesota used a total of AZ
players, while Iowa used about SS,
some substituting!

opening kickoff and continued
throughout the game.

gize for not editing this column last

vented.
On August 14th this column fiat
ly predicted the election of Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt and said that
70 per cent of the Negro vote would
assist. The Presidents reelection
is a matter of history, but at this
moment all data available indicate
that the Negro vote ran so per
cent throughout America. Thus is
the lie hurled back in the teeth of
our enemies that we can be bought!
The Duluth branch of the Mime
sofa Negro Democratic League
wishes to express grateful appre-
citation to all those who assisted in
putting across its effective pro-
gram.
The Duluth Sunday Forum
staged it's regular political mass
meeting on the night before cleo

good crowd was present and a
splendid political forum was held.
The meeting was under the spon-

of which Mr.. George Dozier is
chairman.
Mr.. Charles Colby, stricken i'll

privileged to see the model of the

will be breath-taking in its scope

the cooperation of every Negro in
Minnesota in her courageous fight
to get our share of enrollments. And
I have an idea she will get it.

chen, cellar, etc. And then in another section,
heating, plumbing, storage space, electric
outlets and so on. Keep section for measures
My own discovery of the need of some such
list was brought home to me when | once
failed to take note of heat. In my own list of
the future, a furnace shall occupy whole
page! add this because my sweet little house
in Massachusetts,, which spreads itself all
over the lot, has not heating pipe in it.
But to go back to your list: In addition to
such vital items as those of brass water pipes
and electric wiring. and water supply, and
drainage system all of which must be double
starred, there are endless items of measure
ment which are important. indeed, to those
who must fit their present furniture and
belongings into the spaces of new house
My advice is that you write in your note
book the dimensions of each room and closet
that you now occupy so that you will know
how much space you now find comfortable.

not very big plot of land, with an exterior
that is probably something like pleasing
picture we have seen, but an interior of
definite homelikeness and convenience.
Into this very short article then, let me
pack.as many items of practical use to
would-be home owner" as | am Briefly,
there are five different methods of buying
l. Buy plot of land and build at current
costs. 2. Buy an old place for little money
because house is unlivable and remodel it,
g. Buy neighbor's house and live in it as
it is. A. Buy brand new one, put up by con-
struction company, on the instalment plan.
Under usual circumstances "3" costs least
if you like the house as it is. The house that
you yourself build ought to cost less, value for
value, than the new house built to sell at
profit But this OF course depends on whether
your own building goes straight ahead or
whether you make changes - which add
more TO cost, than any inexperienced person
can begin to imagine The cost of the house
ready for sale is definitely so much. And
you moreover see it exactly as it is, which to
the average person is clearer than an archi-
teCt's plans.
So for this one article let us focus on the
brand new house that is for sale ready made.
Advice that should be printed in capitals,
is, STOP, THINK AND MEASURE before
you buy that house! Remember that all too
often do eager would-be owners sign on the
dotted line and make their first payment down
because fascinated by trick revolving dumb
waiter between the pantry and living room. or
a newest model ice box and range, or possibly
two potted evergeens on either side OF an
inviting front door, or an irresistible electric
gadget that opens or shuts the windows by
pressing button at the side of your bed And
it is nut that intend to belittle these details
But there are dozens of other items OF i'm
portance to you who are going to make the
house your home.
No matter how "sweet" house seems, do
not think of signing the contract until you
have checked the items that are essential to
Evening star., 1936-03-08

your personal requirements, and have looked
into the question of construction so that you
have at least some idea of the grade of house
you are going to pay for.
If you are buying through real estate
broker, whom you know personally or from
building company which has an unquestioned
reputation, that is one thing But don't de-
pend upon strange agent to tell you whether
the house is going to suit you or not. In the
first place he doesn't know your needs. and
in the second he is certainly not going to point
out the shortcomings in what he is trying to
sell you This is not a criticism of the agent; it
is mere statement of the positions of players
in game.
The best contentment-insurance plan |
know of is to make careful list - before
you begin house hunting Write it little by
little in notebook which a woman can carry
in her wrist bag, or man in his pocket. Cut
the outside edges of the pages as all indexes
are cut and deep enough for about six letters.
Then write in the spaces authorizations for

Very few people have the least idea of how
big a room 10 IL, l5x II. or 2Ox24 feet
may be. Few people standing in an unfur-
nished room can guess how much furniture it
will hold Therefore take a tape measure with
you and ball of colored string and dozen
or two of small lead weights. Then beginning
with the bedroom floor (which is important,
instead of the entrance hall (Which is not,
measure how much space your beds, let us say,
will take up. Twin beds. with night table
between. for example will require a minimum
wall space of ~ feet over all; bed length is
usually feet A double bed is at least Az
feet wide, or perhaps 5 feet; a single bed 3 feet
or feet 3 inches wide. Outline their size with
your string held at the corners with the
weights Do the same for the other furniture.
Measure downstairs. too, of course, for
each piece of furniture that you must, or
would like to fit in. An average sofa is about
~ feet wide by feet long. Above all, as
have already noted. measure the closet space
and compare it with what you now use.
And even then don't buy the house until
you have gone home and talked it over. A
house isn't merely something to look at but
something which. if it answers your needs, is
going to be joy to you every day your whole
life long And if it fails to suit your needs -
if you find it torrid in summer, cold and
draughty in winter - if its rooms cannot be
made either pleasing or comfortable, if the
cellar is damp, and the foundations crack,
and the brass pipes prove to be iron ones
which fill solidly with rust, if the fireplace
smokes and the rain pours down the chimney,
you are going to be far from compensated by
the two evergreens probably turned brown
and the window opening device.
As to furnishing: One is apt to believe that
the charm of house depends entirely upon
mere items of furniture without really con-
sidering that the structure of room is ex-
actly like the natural beauty or ugliness of
human being. To one woman almost anything
is becoming. For another very special clothes
must be chosen. A room is just the same. A
room with wide windows on the long wall and
a fireplace so placed that it is easily made the
center of interest almost furnishes itself.
Whereas long narrow room. with narrow
windows at one end and fireplace at the
other fanked by the door of entrance and
door into the dining room so that the hearth
of the fireplace becomes part of passage
and two long unbroken walls between, will
require more than average taste and talent
to give it personality and charm
