Good Evening.
LET'S HAVE A PARTY
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Let's have a partyl Now that It's cooler weather Have 6 big crowd in, Let's have get-together. Let's make out list, Have a grand affair, Make it course dinner, An absolute knockout rare. Let's invite about twenty, We can seat that many fine, We'll make 1t sort of swell, Even give them wine, With cocktails in the living room, It's all done over you know, Too bad the rug Is old, But that will never show. After dinner let's arrange Something different and new, Not Just game of cards, Though we can manage that too. So shall we say twenty2 What? oh all right, We'll just have four t.. bridge A week from Friday night.

YOUTHFUL, good-looking King = Farouls recently ascended the Egyptian throne to become the first modern ruler of this ancient country. His coronation took place on his 18th birthday, slightly more than a year after the death of his father, King Fuad.
 "The perfectly educated boy" rarouk is the first ruler of Egypt In many centuries inducted into office as an independent monarch. He is likewise the first modern ruler of Egypt not directly under the direction of either Turkey or Great Britain. Full independence was won by Egypt in a treaty signed in London, Aug. 26, 1886. Thus, Farouk rules over an entire. ly sovereign state.
 The only son and the eldest child of the late King Fusd and his second wife, the Princess Mazli, Farouk is one of the worlds

Cities and throughout the country;
how the lessons of the depression
are being taken to heart and a
vigorous and determined effort put
forth to profit from them.
1t is enough, however, to justify
my prophecy, that the future will
show that the difficulties of the

have acted only as a spur to con-
tinued and consistent striving for

possibilities await upon courage

Franklin Hospital. Franklin Hos
pital was formerly known as the
Hillcrest Hospital. Father Thomp-
son was just leaving from a visit
with Mrs. Smith when I called.
Mrs. Smiths many friends will be
glad to know that she is not suf-
fering and that she is as interest
ing and interested in everything as
can be. Her condition will require
her to lie quietly in bed for an in
definite period. Plants and cards
are most pleasant reminders of
friends when one is confined for an
indefinite time.
Talked with five of the six young
women at the Detention Home. One
did not care to talk but will, at my
next visit no doubt, when she
realizes my information concerning
them is to help them if possible
and is strictly confidential. They
were glad to get the Spokesman"
All of them were under thirty
years of age. One had revisited
the Home for the fifth time.
The Public Service Bureau has
been supplied for this week with a
good collection of magazines and
by Negro publishers.
These were donated by Mr.. Herbert
Howell of the Summer Sweet
Shoppe, to be given to patients. All

own news very interesting. Hope
others will be as thoughtful as Mr..
Howell.
A friend of patient at Parkview
was called by this department, and
told of this patients desire for
some tobacco. The friend was hap
by to supply it, the patient happy
to receive it and the director of
the Public Service Bureau of the
Spokesman, happy to deliver it.
Most shut-ins are remembered on
special holidays. 1t is the aim of
this department to cheer our shut
ms on the many lonesome days be-
tween holidays.
Two women patients, one at
Parkview and one at General, were
pleased to have me comb and oil
their hair and care for their finger
nails.
The following list of patients
have been released from General
Hospital: James Ross, Mary Mil

and James Ridley.
New patients are Grace Berry,

both personally more satisfying
and of a higher economic value.
The WPA has opened number
of places to young colored women
heretofore closed to them. This
has whetted their appetites for
more of the same. They are TAX
ing full advantage of the chance
to prove themselves equal to any
demand. When the depression
passes and with it their present
employment they will face the flu
ture with a new confidence and in
sistently seek place in the bust
ness life of the community they
have proven themselves competent
to fill.
But there are numbers of women
who still have their employment
in the lower brackets. Nothing
has been done to elevate their out
look or to teach them how or where
to find advancement. Impelled by
the need to offer these women
practical help-many of them are
young with a long life before them
Mrs. Alice Onque Of the Phyllis
Wheatley House is organizing a
club for their benefit. They will
be encouraged, first, to learn ev-
cry detail Of their present work,
so as to do it in the most satisfac-
tory way. They will be urged to
prepare for something better and
the way and the method of this
will be taught and explained. They
will be directed in the study of the
lives of successful men and women
of their group and by learning how
others have crashed the color line
with it's limitations, be encouraged
to do likewise. Every facility that
Phyllis has developed during its
years of existence will be placed
at the service of women who have
found life hard and the way to bet
ter things obscure.
A group of young men who have
fought their way through school or
college to a place in business or to
an objective in the professions, or
skills above the average, have
realized the necessity of inculcat-
ing this indominatable spirit in the
younger members of the group
young men on the threshold of
life, but discouraged by the ap-
parent lack Of opportunity to make
progress. These are gathered
weekly in the Sumner Sweet Shop,
inspired and lectured to by those
who have not been beaten by ad-
versity, but have accepted its hard
ships as challenge to their cour-
age and ambition. Lessons drawn
from their own or the experiences
Of others are brought home to the
youngsters and they are helped to
resolve not to spend a wasted
life but to fight with every ounce
of their young manhood to open
closed doors and to be prepared to
enter when the portals to a better
opportunity are forced ajar.
These are not all. / could point to

THE LITTLE THINGS
Mr.. Cecil E. Newman,
Editor Publisher.

The scientists are not as much
concerned of larger things, as
smaller ones or objects. The mo-
suuitoes transmit poisonous germs
from one person to another, there
is very little said of them, other
than by scientists.
Bed bugs in a hotel or lodging
places, suck contaminated blood of
diseased person and lay in wait
that he might likewise to the ro-
bust person. Little arguments in
homes usually lead to larger ones.
If these small objects are great
Importance to medical scientists it
should be far greater in our ev-
cry day life. For an illustration,
let us who are responsible for the
children admit to our regret that
we do not really know how to rear
children. There are many philoso-
phies as to best accredited infor-
nation relative to rearing children,
and result is, they are advancing
toward the old route, wherein we
lead.
I am not unaware of the fact
that we have been guided extreme
~ and unfortunately through SYM
pathy which was additionally or
iginated of our poor circumstances,
economically, which has to do with
careless reign or leniency over the
young.
The first little things we shall
observe, is the mother who pays
little or no attention to leaving
money around the room, where the
child is being tempted to buy
candy. "Lead us not to tempta-
ton" These little things lead to
larger ones. There is little re-
striction being enforced by parent
in the Twentieth century. Mothers
ask everybody from the milk man
to the groceryman where are the
children? Our children stay at
other peoples homes more than
their own. When we are ready to
use restriction it is too late. If
we want them to stay home some
after they are grown up we had
better start when they are young.
Abraham Lincoln said on one &C.
casion to do the right thing at the
wrong time is as bad as doing the
wrong thing.
The disciple asked Jesus when
was Israel to be restored? Jesus
said, "It is not for you to know
now" There are some things
children should not know now. Par
ents talk too freely in the pres
ence of their children. Mothers
and fathers, please do not say
these little things in the presence
of the child.

HERE and
THERE
BY w. M. Smith

1t is my very confident belief,
or perhaps l should say hope, that
many of our people will live to
see the "silver lining" in the dark
cloud of the depression that has
so long enveloped them. 1t will
show not only in the immediate
benefits that accrue through work
that has saved from catastrophe.
1t will reflect more brightly in the
results that follow certain inspira-
tons directly due to hardships en-
dured and remedied, that have,
like the mother of necessity, grown
out of them; that spiritual sense
that reveals that man lives, not by
bread alone; that finer things wait
upon ambition; upon opportunities
that may be commanded when one
possesses the knowledge and the
courage when to seize the priced
moments and grasp them.
I have not today either the time
or space to enumerate them all.
I name a few and ask if, to you,
as to me, they prove themselves in
dices of a better and more valued
time to come.
I wrote some time ago of that
WPA project which permits Mrs.
Harold Combs to lead a class in
discussions of vital public ques-
tons. The value of this to the
teacher is obvious. Equally obvi-
Gus, indeed more valuable, must it
be to those who accept this oppor-
tunity to acquaint themselves more
fully with those questions that en-
gage the thinking of intelligent
people. 1t will prepare them for
larger participation in things di-
rectly affecting the fortunes of the
Negro people, and enable them to
help educate public thinking in
lines favorable to themselves and
their children.
A group of four young girls have
been employed by the government
as a singing quartet. The i'm
mediate result is living for these
young people. But it means more,
much more than that. It has dis
closed for these young women an
opportunity to overcome the obsta-
cles to a more desirable avocation
than domestic service. They have
practiced faithfully. They have
studied to improve their voices.
Their pleasing music is in constant
demand by public both white and
colored surprised and delighted by
this unexpected showing. At least
one of the quartette has shown a
voice Of such fine quality that in
terested persons are going to help
in its development. She may be-
come a second Marion Anderson.
All of which gives a tremendous
impetus to the ambitions Of other
young people of musical ability
and may easily lead them into Sc
rious study Of their own possibili-
ties and help to cultural growth
