Facts About the

oath a ! Seward

When Mr.. Z. =. Galloway, acting
editor of the Omaha Guide Publish
ing company interviewed Mr.. Ever
EFT S. Dodds of the Fontenelle
Apartments project he made the
following findings. There will be
PA apartments ranging from two
to six rooms. Each apartment will
DO thoroughly modern with bath,
electric refergation, gas, light
and heat furnished. All apartments
are fire proof with cement floors
There will be play grounds for
children, beautiful landscaping
around the apartments and laun-
dries to ACCOMMODATES Inlaid limo
leum will be on the floor OF each
auartment. There will be two Large
laupdries which win 'sccon1odate'
FIVE families each at one time. Inc
apartments will be ready for ten
ancy on November IT, 1897.
No N will be permitted to rent
of these apartments whose sal
arv exceeds five times the yearly
rental fee of one apartment. For
instance-if the apartment rents
for $24O per year, the salary OF the
tenant is not to exceed five times
the S24O. Mr.. Dodds, the Fontenelle
administrator, was unable to say
lust what the apartments will rent
for. and will not be able to say un-
til the work on them is completed.
Mr.. Dodds stated that in other
parts of the country similar gov
eminent project had been tinlshed
and were renting from 500 TO
$3.50 per month, per room. TINS
does not necessarily say that these
APARTMENTS will rent for these fig
ures. but it is only a rough estl-
mate of the possible rental fee.
This project already has 252 ap-
plications for tenancy. Mr.. Gallo

nation will come into their own
and hold the spot light of the
world Sunday May 9th, when

In home, at church and at
social gatherings mother will

alive,
The first Mothers Day had
its inception in a Presbyterian
church in Philadelphia, May
10th, 1908. State after state
saw the advisability of a Mo
theirs Day hence the desired
legislation was passed setting
apart the day and on May g.,
1914, President Wilson and
Secretary Of State Bryan sign
ed a paint resolution of the
United States Congress design
ating the second Sunday of
May as Mothers Day.

Without regard for portion of
the world in which he might live

persecution under which he exists,
this is the most important day in
the life of a Jewish boy. On this

gcgue and, after months of pre-
i~paration and study, leads the morn

Men Cannot be
Naval Officers

Los Angeles, May 8 (ANP)-
John II. Owens, a well known re-
sident here recently wrote a letter
to the u. S. Navy Deartment re
questing higher ratings and pro-
motions for Negroes in the United
States navy and the reply to his
request, sent from the Washington
office of the Bureau of Navigation,
gives a remarkable insight into
Navy conditions, purporting to X
plain just why colored enlisted men
are not made officers.
The Bureau of Navigation admits
that the experiment Of having col
ored naval officers over white en-
listed men has been tried,
but protested that 1t would be n
failure on the face of it; for that
reason Negroes are, not permitted
to enlist in the navy other than in
the messman branch. This Is the
food service department. of tho
ship, the colored messmen being
charged with the duty of preparing
the tables of the enlisted mems
mess or dining room and serving
the food prepared in the ships gal
ley. Their work is similar to that
of walters in hotels and better class
cafes.
Experiment With Filipinos
A Failure
The Bureau claims that at one
time Filipinos were given charge of
two ships "under white officers"
and that this experiment proved
a failure" Later, according to the
letter, the same experiment was
tried with tugboats in he Samoan
Islands and "this experiment like
wise proved a failure"

light on tho recent GUST from the
