BIZ K. G. B.

PORTLAND First in the city
to receive the initial group of pic
lures of outstanding Negroes which
are being issued by the Philadel-
phia Society for Negro Records
and Research, was Mrs. Eugene
Garden.
The group of eight photographs
include studies of Marian Ander-
son, concert singer; Richmond
Barthe, sculptor; Arna Bontemps,
poet and playwright; Langston
Hughes, poet; Fora Neale Hurston,
anthropologist and writer; William
Grant Still, composer and conduc-
tor; Monroe Nathan Work, educa-
tor and historian; and e. Simms
Campbell, artist and cartoonist. OF
this group, Marian Anderson il
perhaps best known in the Pacific
Northwest and Monroe Nathan
Work will be recognized quickly as
the founder of the Negro Yearbook
which he edits now at Tuskegee.
However. many Westerners am
ong the Negro readers of Esquire
have not known that E. Simms
Campbell, who is the only cartoon
list to have made each issue of
Esquire since it began, is also Ne
gro. In some recent issues his sig
nature has appeared as many as
seven times in one issue, on full
page drawings in colors.
OF Mr.. Campbell and his work,
Esquire says, THE Campbells are
charming couple, handsome, So
phisticated in the best sense of
that badly overworked word. He
is one of the very few cartoonists
we have ever known who could be
as witty in conversation as on pa
per Incidentally, as BELTS an Els
quire contributor, he is one of the
best dressed men we know. And
their Harlem apartment, in every
detail of decoration and appoint
ment, is one of New York's none
too-1.any homes that reflect the
charm of truly cultured and gra-
cious living. Both the Campbells
are extremely adroit and adept in
the delicate art of putting white
people at their ease, accomplishing
this difficult feat in manner that
somehow makes the whites in ques-
tion feel that it is largely of their
own doing. Alone among Esquire's
cartoonists he ha snever missed
an issue since the magazine began.

home, my father and brothers and
sisters and my own children. But
1 have God here in Africa with
me, and nothing else matters
much God has given you to me,

nation of a national interracia1
committee by the federation is
planned later. Il was revealed at
the meeting that 300 Catholic
priests and /, 100 nuns are working
among Negroes. The Federation
recommended that college-trained
Catholics afford every aid, spirit
ual and material, to those priests
and religions who IRE devoting
their lives in whole OF in part to
the welfare OF the Negro. Likewise
that they cooperate generoysly
with those persons and g-czps of
priests ard laity who are laboring
to create an apostolic attitude
towards the Negro on the part of
our Catholic laity, and that they
be the first to set an example of
interracial justice and charity in
their own persons and in their own
communities, parishes and insti-
buttons or wherever they may come
in contact with members of the
colored group.

tions were prepared by special

Factories Show
Heavy Turnover

One thousand and thirty-seven
factories ceased activity in the
state of washington during the
years of readjustment between
1881 and 1887. A partial compen-
sation for the loss was the acquisi-
ton of 1893 new ones. In addition
to these facts revealed in the new
directory of Manufacturers Asso-

evidence that the losses were sus-
tanned by the larger, and the gains
made by the smaller manufacture
