HERE and
THERE
BY w. M. Smith

I dropped into a downtown shop
Saturday where I have often gone
because of the courtesy and pleas
antness of the young salesladies
employed there. They probably had
had a difficult day and they were
nearly out of their products. They
were also almost completely out of
their courtesy and pleasant bear
ing. They were not rude but curt
and a trifie impatient not only to
me, but also to several customers
in the shop at the time. I could
excuse it because of previous ex-
periences and of my understanding
of the irritations of the moment.
wondered if the other custom
ers could, or would, and I won
dered too if the proprietor of the
place would have been willing to
excuse the departure of his sales
force from its usual clever sales
manship because they happened to
be tired and willing to take it out
on the unoffending customer.
Whatever the answer / conclude
it is a good business policy to re-
member the party of the second
part-the essential customer.
At the annual dinner of the Ur-
ban League last Thursday T noted
something that may or may not be
significant.
An Episcopal minister gave the

a Congregationalist; the Methodist
persuasion was well represented by
three pastors from st. Paul and

a fine example of restraint, cOur-

appreciate and follow.

Mr.. Cecil E. Newman
Editor:
wish to thank you for the gra-
cious tribute which you paid to me
in a recent number of the Record
er.
Economic opportunities are basic
to the progress of any group. Here
in the Northwest there are prac-
tically no opportunities for the
young Negro who entertains any
ambition. It is very desirable that
the white group be reminded again
and again that in this city they
discriminate more than the citi-
zens of other communities.
Public opinion on other points
has undergone a transformation. 1t
is possible that public opinion on
this point may change also. There
must be some technique and device
by which the opinion can be al
tered.
Again I wish to thank you for
the compliment which you paid to
me.
Very respectfully yours,

it is! After all, this is also our

A CONTRAST IN PRIDE: Joe
Louis managers once said very
casually that the championship
DID NOT mean much to them, as
they could make more without it!
Here's the contrast: The heavy
weight championship is so i'm
portant to GERMANS that Hitler
(the German Dictator-maniac) is
willing to spend million dollars in
advance for his countryman to get
a chance at it! lin Germany
Hitler knows that he could point a
finger at the belt if a German held
it. He knows how it would affect
the young boys of his country, so
he is willing to dearly get it. That's
what you call RACE PRIDE. CAS-
a race we don't have half enough
of it,
IF I HAD MY WAY: I would
pour gasoline on every annual sissy
ball (some writers call them pansy
balls), and set them afire! Then /
would cuss-out the mayors and po-
lice forces for letting them occur
PUBLICLY every year. I would
back up my protest with my vote.
Yeah, such freaks should be Gagged,
burnt up, or drowned (when they
insist on putting on EXHIBI-
TIONS in public! Take 'em away,
they stink!)
A WARNING TO AMATEUR
SONG WRITERS: When you get
letters from song-shark takers
promising you the following, just
give 'em a hoss-laff, and toss them
in the waste basket. I'll just print
parts of a takers letter:
Dear song writer, you write
song poems; why can't we form a
partnership" That's his bait,
wants you to bite. He continues:
Forget the literature you have re-
ceived from others" Yeah, he
wants you just for himself! He
goes on: eff you have an appeal
ing lyric I will, if interested, fur
nish an appropriate melody for it. I"
Then he goes into promises about
radio stars helping you with your
song, if you ask them! This takers
letter leads one to believe that he
is going to get something for moth
ing, and then comes the CATCH,
in his so-called plan. Let him tell
you :"Altho I make no charge for
my collaboration services, I find it
necessary in the event that I select
one Of your poems for my musical
collaboration to ask you to con-
tribute the SMALL SUM OF
THREE DOLLARS towards my in
cidental expenses, such as music
paper, special ink used for writing
music, ETC." After he has you
hooked for three dollars like he
has hundreds of others), he will
tell you: However, in no instance,
and at NO time will you be re-
quired to pay one cent additional"
Dear amateur song writer's, men
like this faker cannot help you. All
his kind wants are your three dol
lars. Nothing will ever come of
your poems, if you send them to
him. So If you get a letter like this

In spite of all that has been written
about bad breath, thousands still lose
friends through this unpleasant fault.
Yet sour stomach with its resultant
bad breath is frequently only the re-
suit of constipation. Just as it can
cause loss of appetite, early weakness,
nervousness, and mental dullness.
So keep regular. And if you need to
assist Nature, use DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets. This gentle laxative can help
bring relief. Extremely important, too,
is the mild stimulation it gives the flow
of bile from the liver without the dis
comfort Of drastic, irritating drugs.
That's why millions use this laxative
yearly. All druggists, 15e, 500, 6Oe.
*Your liver secretes from 20 to 80 ounces Of
bile every day to aid in the digestion of fats and
stimulate muscular action Of the intestinal
system. DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, besides
helping keep you regular, contain an ingre-
dent which definitely assists in the secretion
