WHY not settle the screening pro-
w blem once and for all, when you
do 1t this year? Have screens that
are part Of your window Winter and
Summer.
Screens which are built right into
the window frames and roll up when
they are not In use, much as shades do,
are permanent screens. There Is
none Of the bother Of taking them
down and putting them up, storing
them, painting them to protect them
during the long Winter in the dark,
and no problem about getting at the
windows to wash them.
We have been looking over the
catalogue OF q manufacturer Of roll
up screens and are mighty impressed
with their trim appearance and COM
pact metal hideaway for the period
when they are not in use. They
cost approximately IS to $40 apiece,
installed, the price varying with the
size Of your window, and whether
they are installed in a new or old
house. In new work the window
frame can be built with the proper
assembly; on old work the screens
housing can be set across the head
Of the window and the guides installed
between wood moulds.
These screens are built to stand up
under hard service II the screen
wire receives q blow hard enough to
tear or bag the ordinary screen, the
wire mesh Is released from the guides
without injuring the wire. Upon
pushing the entire released edge to
the outside and raising the screen to
It's full length, it will re-angn itself
by riding over a cut-away on the back
side OF the screen guide and will be
automatically re-entered and re-
stretched when the screen is lowered.
When lowered, these screens are
automatically locked on the window
sill by positive latches which are per-
fectly adjustable and can be unlocked
only from the inside. No attachments
to mar beautiful sills.
Since poor and ill-f1tting screens
can mar the appearance of a house,
1t sounds practical to us to get the Job
done once-well-and be done with it.

used as the outside sash Of a double
glazed window, with adequate provi-
sion for the circulation of air between
the panes, but it makes a noticeable
difference IN single windows, too.
II you are thinking Of installing
air-cooling equipment in the future,
get a head start by installing this
kind of glass in your windows facing
south and west. They will deliver the
suns light to your without
the suns might.
The twin houses, under the obser-
vation Of DR.. E. w. Shaver chemical
engineer, proved that an air-cooIng
system had to work from l6 per cent
to "a per cent less strenuously with
single panes Of heat-absorbent glass,
and 25.7 per cent less with double win
dows. With no cooling equipment in

operation at all, the house with the
heat t-absorbing glass averaged rs de-
grees lower maximum temperature
than the house with ordinary glass.
On a scorching day, that's lot Of
unmechanical coolth!
The air-cooling usec in the tests,
results OF which never before have
been made public, was by continuous
circulation Of ice water from a central
outside storage tank through the coils
Of room cooler, whose fan was oper-
ated by a thermostat. The flow Of
water through each cooler was meas
ured with special water meter, and
the story Of its rise in temperature
and the rapddity OF its flow told the
amount Of heat withdrawn from each
house. Both houses were well in
sulated on sidewalks and ceiling with
several layers Of f1berboard; their
positions In regard to sun and wind
were exactly the same.
But" you ask, III the cooling load
IS less In the Summer because the
glass eats up the heat, won't the heat
ing load be greater In Winter for the
same reason?"
The answer Is that classic one:
eyes and no." Yes, because there
will be an approximate increase Of
9 per cent in the heat required for
the Winter house, and no, because
this Is very small increase in ex-
change for the boon OF Summer
comfort. The reason why the windows
do not eat up a lot more precious
Winter heat is that the glass Is hum
cry only for solar heat, the kind of
heat which comes with light. Heat
which is manufactured by q hot-air
Of radiator heating system is con-
Quoted, convicted or radiated heat,
not the same kind at all, and thus
uneaten by the glass-that 9 per cent
Is only the Winter suns heat which
the glass prevents from reaching
your rooms. The guinea pig houses
were both heated electrically for ~
days. and their temperatures scientifl-
cally measured and compared to prove
this point
Heat-absorbing glass has slightly
more blue in it than ordinary window
glass, but it Is not noticeable unless
called to your attention. and rather
agreeable, even then, due to the reduc-
tion In light glare. 1t can sLxgsA more
sudden changes in temperature than

Alphas Present
Founders Day
Program Sunday

The black and old gold of Alpha
Phi Alpha Fraternity will hold
sway in the Twin Cities next week
which is called Founders Week, in
commemoration of the Silver An
niversary of Mu Chapter, which
was founded on the campus of the
University of Minnesota April II,
1912.
Established at the suggestion of
the late DR.. Cyrus Northrop, there
were ten charter members, of
which six are residents of the Twin
Cities at present.
During its existence Mu Chap
ter has produced many notable men
and has celebrated many note
worthy achievements, the most cut
standing being the highest frater-
nifty in scholastic rating at the
University in 1891 and 1892. This
included ratings of all fraternities
of all races.
Events include initiation of new
members and a party. A banquet
will be held at Phyllis Wheatley
House on Thursday, April Is.
On Sunday, April II, splendid
program will be presented by the
chapter at Pilgrim Baptist Church,
Central and Grotto streets, at A
o'clock in the afternoon. Repre-
sentatives of all fraternities and
sororities will speak; the history
of Mu will be reviewed. Music will
be furnished by the Pilgrim Bap-
fist Church choir, A. v. Hall is
director. There will also be sew
eral soloists.
The people of the Twin Cities are
invited to participate in the public
program on Sunday, with the first
Greek Letter Society organized in
the Twin Cities.

I'll. Q. Brown
House Member
Drive Begins

The Halle @. Brown House
comes before the public each year
in its Annual Membership Drive,
which opens Sunday, April 18th.
Those people who have taken out
memberships in Halle @. Brown
House since January, 1887, includ-
ing January, are members in good
standing.
This appeal is being made to the
hundreds of people who avail them
selves of all the facilities at Halle
G., particularly are parents urged
to pay a $1.00 membership out of
good faith.
The opportunities given children
here, who have no class or men,
bership fee, are many in number.
Practically every agency in town
has large membership fee for &C
tivities ranging from $500 to $500.
In view of the fact we are sure the
services rendered this community
cannot be paid for in dollars and
cents, at least a $1.00 membership
is a token of expression on the
part of parents and interested
friends.
Our drive this year is following
new trend. This year the Board
of Directors are the members of
the 1897 and '3S Membership Cam
paign. S. E. Hall is chairman of
the campaign.
On the speakers committee of
the drive are:
John Myers, Ralph Smalley,
Father A. H. Lealtad, DR.. J. w.
Crump, Mrs. W. E. Aull and Mrs.
Fred H. Morissee.
The club reporting the largest
number of memberships will be
awarded Silver Loving Cup with
the name of the club inscribed on
the cup, also the donors name. The
winning club will keep the cup in
it's possession one year. The club
three times a winner becomes per-
sonally the owner of the cup.
The donor of the cup is a sur
prise. The name will not be re-
vealed until after the campaign.

Wellington Foxes
Fun at Little O.
Four Page Paper

Rev. w. E. Warrington, Pastor
Bethesda Baptist Church, Mime
apolis, Monday night ridiculed the
Minneapolis Spokesman in reviv-
al sermon as "that little old four
page newspaper"
Wellington has been conducting
a series of revival meetings in con-
junction with other pastors at Zion
Baptist Church. ......
Most of the meetings have been
poorly attended but Monday nights
congregation was large. His an
nounced subject was ''The Mime
apoHs Spokesman"
The audience was April-fooled.
Many of his auditors were disap-
pointed because he failed to attack
the paper in a direct and above
board manner.
He contented himself with yelled,
uncomplimentary references to the
paper.
He failed to tell his auditors Of
the untold service the 'tlittle old
four-page paper" had rendered him
in the matter of getting before the
public when he came to their city,
unknown, from small charge In
Canada.
Incidentally, Spokesman and Re
corder officials denied that the pa
per was four pages. Instead it has
been six pages, they say, since its
inception except the 1899 Christ
mas edition which was the largest
issue ever published by a Negro
newspaper in Minnesota history.

Will Attract
Large Crowd

Members of Phyllis Wheatley
House Auxiliary and citizens of
Minneapolis and st. Paul expect to
turn out in large numbers to do
honor to Mr.. William Smith for his
active and useful years in the COM
munity next Tuesday night, April
Is, at $50 p. m. at Phyllis Wheat

Mr.. Smith are laying plans to make
the testimonial dinner which will
be held April Is, at $50 p. m. at

Minneapolis will not soon forget.
Many prominent citizens will
speak in appreciation of the serv-
ice rendered by Mr.. Smith. A fine
program has been arranged, num-
bers from which have been selected
from groups wherein Mr.. Smith
has been, and in many instances,
yet is, an active member.
Aside from the personal honor
bestowed on the individual, testi-
monials such as this have the eff
feet of establishing an incentive
for the younger generation to SO
shape and dedicate their lives to
usefulness and worthiness that the
years of striving and sacrifice for
their fellowmen will be we'll worth
the ultimate aim.

1t was lucky for Steve Manning,

Louisville, KY, was in st. Paul
April 1. For Manning, ragged and
hungry, approaching whom he
thought a total stranger for a nick
ell or dime, ran into Mr.. Dawson,
boyhood friend, and into sudden
prosperity.
Police approaching as Manning
accosted Mr.. Dawson thought Man
ming should be jailed for vagrancy
and arrested him, but Mr.. Dawson
went before Judge Clayton Parks,
interceded for Manning, and he was
released. H...
And that's not all. He went to a
clothing store, fitted him with suit
and other wearing apparel, secured
a room for him at the Lowry hotel,
and made arrangements for him
Tor a job.

Commenting further, Mr.. Hughes
said: ~ am a professional poet
and while poetry is so frequently
associated with romance, there
seems to be little compatibility be-
tween poetry and marriage, espe-
cially where one must depend on 1t
to support wife.
"Our economic system is such
that If man likes a girl well
enough to want to keep anybody
else from having her, he is ex-
pected to rush into debt and set up
a menage to keep her isolated from
the rest of the world, but I believe
that man can love just as much
without going to all this trouble
as he can by so doing.
~ believe that love cannot thrive
well under the pressure of strug-
gle for existence, and / don't be-
lieve anybody should marry unless
he is able to provide the neces-
sites and educational advantages
for his children which they right
fully deserve.
Criticizes Glove Bug"
"People have no right to penalize
unborn children simply because
they think they have been smitten
by the love bug. It isn't fair to the
children.
Russia recognizes this great
truth and has taken the response
biity of providing for the future
of the children out Of the hands of
the respective parents. The vel
fare of the children is the obliga-
ton of the State instead of the in
dividuals.
"This gives the Russian children
more of an even break in life and
their future is not circufnscribed By
the economic status Of the par.
etits."

port to the National Coal Association.
Battles told the more than 500
executives OF coal concerns in ~
States the law had many weaknesses
which time would bring out, and:
"The life of this law is four years
from last April. Long before April.
194l, we should know whether or not
the industry is to be permanently
regulated by the Federal Government ~
Friends Of j. P. Williams, the as
sociations president, said they under
stood he will retire and may have
some pertinent comment to make on
the coal act.
Battle said the association was
unalterably opposed to legislation OF
tn type of the Black Connery wages
and hours bill, defeated in the last
session of Congress. He warned that
"once the fixation of wages and hours
by 4 Federal board is established
there is no telling how far 1t will

by the industry over the T. v. A. and
