WHAT THE NEGRO CAN DO

Let US suppose that the six
thousand Negroes in Minneapolis
would agree to combine their pur-
chasing power. Let US again sup
pose that this amounted to a mill
ion dollars a year. Then let us
suppose again that these Negroes
decided overnight that they would
make all of their purchases, say, at
three stores in Minneapolis. By
virtue of this spending arrange
ment, this would give the Negro
economic power to secure jobs. He
would then be in a position to de-
mand positions as well as jobs.
This can be accomplished without
revolution or bloodshed. All that is
needed is group action with power
that we have within our hands.

HERE and
THERE
By W. N. Smith

A word about a helpmeet, that
word that describes so fittingly the
wife and mother or sweetheart
who enters so fully and completely
into a mans life, and by her un-
derstanding, tact and unobtrusive-
ness smoothes the rough places,
overcomes hardships, gives that
encouragement to ambition that
every man must have if success
shall finally crown his efforts.
To become such a helpmeet a
woman need not go out into the
field of labor to add to the family
income. It's far more effective to
plan the expenditure Of the income
earned by the head of the house.
To make the home a restful
place for the man and his children;

to assure a full, attractive and
healthful diet-cleanhness in home
and person; in every way a con-
trast and a distinct departure
from the help "meat."
The help "meat," wants all the
meats of life. Not only choice pro-
vision for the table but all the good
things of life-society's pleasures
furnishings of the latest, fash
ionable entertainment for
herself and friends at parties,
theaters, in short, keeping up
with the Joneses" without
thought or a care as to how the
good man may provide them. To
the help "meat" children are only
an incumbrance, a break upon her
career to become the center of at
traction.
The Twin Cities have a fair sup
ply of helpmeets and altogether
too many of the ignoble help
meats"
The good woman help-meet be-
comes the joy of her husband and
her little ones. An ornament to
any society into which she enters,
welcome addition to the commu-
nal life of city, the admired of all.
Comparable to the women who
walk the beautiful thoroughfares
of our cities in the warm penetrat-
ing sunlight of the summer that
shines through dainty textures of
apparel, revealing to the onlook-
er the figure beneath as clearly as
if the outward garment had been
left at home, the help "meat" is as
we'll defined to her acquaintance
(for she has no real friends). Her
selfshness, vanity, social aspira-
tions are seen and evaluated. She
would be astounded to learn how
little of real esteem she establishes
in the minds of those she fondly
imagines she impresses.
The impressive contrast lies in
the fact that the charming revela-
tons of the street are fully under
stood and encouraged by those who
make them, while she, poor deluded
soul, like the ostrich that hides its
head in the sand to conceal it.
self, deceives no one but herself.
All honor then to the fine women
who as wives, mothers or sweet
hearts give of their best in appre-
citation of the labors of their men
and help them grow big in the
communities they serve, help to in
culcate in their children the best
principles of good citizenship, up
hold the highest types of civic vir-
tues and do it all without other
hope of reward than inheres in con-
sciences directed by attitudes ap-
proved by God and man.

AIR TRANSPORT
SURVEY SHOWS
SWIFT GROWTH

QN.S). Commercial air trans
port, closing out its first 10-year
span, has rocketed aviation into
an impregnable position as
Americas fastest growing in
oustry,
The 8,679 intrepid individuals
who paid to travel on commercial
airlines In 1927 (1S Of them went
so far as to pay for the dubious
privilege Of being flown to
foreign countries) increased in
number to 1,147, 1853 last year and
in 1887, estimated on figures for
the first six months of the year,
will total 1,375,O00 persons.
USED BY INDUSTRY
The most amazing performance
OF commercial air transport, how
ever, has been its overwhelming
adoption by industry as a mode
Of express shipment. Ten years
ago, $3.50 pounds Of express
were shipped by air. This year
the airlines will transport more
than 10000, 900 pounds Of express,
including q variety Of commodi-
ties ranging from fuzzy baby
chicks to bulky mining ma
chinery.
In both the cases Of passengers
and express, there has been steady
annual increase, with no recession
below any preceding year. For
instance, 1885 was the previous
high" year for both, with LAT 1855
passengers and 8,350,010 pounds
Of express traversing the sky lanes.
Mounting airmail consciousness
Of America also is strikingly dem
onstrated. The year 1927 saw
54,165 pounds Of mail sent by
air to bring the airlines $2,643, 447
in Government payments. This
year nearly 100000 pounds of
mail, worth more than $25, 000, 900
to commercial air transport oper-
RtorS, will be carried Skyward.
Miscellaneous proofs Of avia-
TONS growth include ID in 1927,
there were 900 firms in the indus
try, while now there are 1000; ca
the airlines covered 9,122 miles of
anyways in 1927, last year they
regularly covered 81 ,532 miles; go
the 1895 airports of 1927 have
been increased to 2,342, and "a
flying equipment Of the airlines
10 years ago was valued at 3d.
100000; now it tops $15,000.000.
