close to this fellow now climbing

Besides, hadn't Mother Bear told

have meant something to Prickly
Porky. I have an idea that he would
have gone into reverse and gone
down that tree much faster than he
had come up. AS it was, he didn't
know who "us" was, and he didn't
see the cubs So he kept right on
with his slow upward climb. 1t wasn't
often that he was interfered with
by anybody. He had decided to climb

to their former position They were
worried. Truth to tell, they were
frightened. This fellow might be slow
and clumsy, but he was bigger than
they had thought he was, and he was
persistent. Moreover, there was some-
thing queer about him. The cubs
climbed higher. They realized now
that they were trapped, and 1t was
rather a dreadful feeling. 1t always
is, this feeling of being trapped. They
could go so high and no higher.

Omahan Is Elected
President of Natl
FraternaI Congress

One of the highest honors that
can come to a ~fraternalist was ac-
corded an Omaha woman Septem-
Der 1st, when Mrs. Dora Alexander
Talley, president of the Supreme
Forest Woodman Circle, was I'M
animously elected president of the
National Fraternal Congress of
America at the annual meeting of
that organization in Columbus, Ohio.
For twenty-five years, Mrs. Tai
ley has been an active member of
the Congress. She has served in
various Offices in the Secretaries
Section, on several standing COM
mittees, and in 1885 became pre-
sident of the Presidents Section
and a member of the Congress ex-
ecutive committee. She was elected
vice president of the Congress in
1856, and succeeded to the presi-
dency as the fourth woman to hold
this position.
The Congress also honored an
Omaha man, Farrar Newberry, Ia
tional secretary of the Woodmen
Of the World, by electing him to
the board of directors. It was his
first office in the national Congress,
according to officials at the socie-
TVS home office here.
Ninety-two fraternal benefit so
cieties are represented in the Ma
tional Fraternal Congress of Amer
lea, making it n of the strongest
institutions of its kind in the world.

Detroit. Sept. 9 (ANP)-Police
last week pressed the search for
those responsible for placing a
bomb, composed Of IL sticks of dy-
Mantle, under the hood of a car in
a parking lot at the downtown Ten
Forty Club last Sunday. William
Holmes, %colored doorman at the
club, was sent after the car, was
killed as he stepped on the starter,
exploding the bomb. So violent was
the blast that all windows in n da-
dius of 100 yards were shattered.
The hood of the car was found
on the roof of a f~ive-story
building near where the car was
parked.
Eugene Robinson, also colored,
said he had come by the club early
that morning to walk home with
Holmes when he was off duty. Ro-
binson told police that one of three
men standing in front of the club
asked Holmes to go to the lot for
the car and a short time later the
blast occurred. The car bore license
plates issued to Harry Milman, a
former member of Detroit's "Pur-
plen gang, during prohibition.

Race Prejudice

New York, Sept. 8 tCNA)-
Gladys Williston, actress employed
by the Popular Priced theatre, a
WPA unit, 152 West 54th street,
this city, has presented evidence of
discrimination against Negro ac-
tors and actresses before the Board
of Appeals of the Federal theatre,
it was learned this week.
The decision of the Board of APP
peals is not yet known. The bulk
of the evidence was directed
against Ida B. Sullivan, a white
wardrobe mistress also employed
by the Popular Priced theatre. Six
other workers. it was asserted,
testified in support of Miss VIII
liston's charges.
In order to discourage Negroes
from working in WPA theatres, a
campaign of sabotage and abuse
was launched with Ida B. Sullivan
at its head, it was asserted.
The evidence, comprising a sheet
of typwriten paper notarized and
sealed, reads like occurrences in the
deep south. On sveral occasions the
woman was charged with address,
ing men employed in the capacity
of doormen and cleaners as 'Sambo'
'Rastus' and similar names.
