MAYBE IT'S OUR FAULT

Editor:
Something you said in a recent
issue attracted my attention to a
condition right in my neighbor-
hood, bad condition which my
neighbors and myself should sure
ly attempt to change.
I live in the "best" Minneapolis
district. Most of my neighbors
call themselves intelligent, just as
l thought l was until recently.
After l read your paper I looked
around at my neighborhood mer-
chants. l saw the ads of only two
of the white-owned concerns in
our paper l looked at our corner
drug store. For years / have spent
my money there, sometimes as
high as SIS per week, and not since
l have been trading there have the
two partners employed a boy of
the group as even scrub boy. I
don't think it is fair, do you? I'll
wager over 1919 of the customers
of that drug store are Negro, as !
am. In the three grocery stores
controlled by our white friends
there is not colored boy even
making deliveries. Now maybe
this condition is not the fault of
these business men. Maybe it's all
our fault. Maybe we have never
sought to- change such an unfair
condition. I have two children and
I'm quite unwilling to continue to
spend my money with merchants in
my home neighborhood who are I'M
willing that my boy or girl should
have some of the odd jobs which
they willingly pass out to others.
While Pm on the subject I think
Christensen, the, shoe man in our
neighborhood, should be praised. He
took a Race youth, one of the Mays
boys, into his place of business and
has made a first class shoemaker
out of him. There is nothing per-
sonal about. this matter, but certain
events have made me think that my
neighbors are not thinking Il
know I have not been.

HERE and
THERE

Last weeks issue of the Satur
day Evening Post contains an in
teresting article on o. o. Mcintyre
whose column 'FNew York Day b,
Day" is published in hundreds Of
daily papers and is read by millions
of readers.
The article disclOses that McIn.
tyre secures the material for his
column from four sources: His
bOyhOOd memory, his reading, his
observation and from his mail
From his correspondents come
about half of the material which
recast in the Mcintyre mold be-
comes the Mcintyre column.
Whereat this columnist turns
sad, for the conviction is forced
upon him that from none of the
Mcintyre aides can he expect to
draw very deeply. His boyhood
memories are clouded by the all but
insurmountable difficulties that
faced the Negro youth of that day,
struggling for an education in the
separate schools of the period,
fighting his way many times
against physical obstruction and
always opposed by a barrier of vo-
cal insult hardest of all to bear.
Desperately discouraged when a
democratic victory in the national
elections gave new life to the
lynching spirit of the South and
threatened the death of the meager
opportunities that were his.
There is little in that bOyhOOd
experience to make for pleasant
reading in this day, save the
thought that the discOmfOrts and
discOuragements could not quench
the spirit of thousands of Negro
youth, ambitious and brave, who
went on to develop a Booker T.
Washington, a Dubois, a COleridge
Taylor and a host of men and
women whose lives remain a living
memory of indOmitable courage
and accomplishment.
From reading and observation
have come a more abundant foun-
tain of precious notations, fortu-
nately not yet exhausted.
But from the reservoir of pub
ic-expressed opinion has come just
about nothing at all. None of the
thousands of hints of interesting
happenings, of anecdote or anus
ing incident, of exciting experience,
of unnoticed but important history
of persons or things. Not even the
Communications and censures, all OF
which have helped the Mcintyre on
to fame.
But at least we can approve, as
we have already adopted the Nc
Intyre code of ethics: "Never use
the power of the press to fight an
enemy who has not the power to
fight back. Do not write a line you
would be ashamed to have your
mother read. Betray no conf
dences. Pay no attention or reply
to unworthy critics."
This writer was invited to talk,
a few nights ago, to group of
church women and girls of Luth-
eran church. Arriving at the home
where the company was gathered,
and rather out of breath, because
of the hurry to keep promptly the
engagement, as he came to the
open door, which disclosed some
fifty guests, he slipped on the pol
ished floor of the entrance and fell
sprawling full length on his face.
1t was embarrassing. Made more
so by friend to whom the incident
was later related. Said he maybe
they thought you had been drink
ing"
Wonder if that was why they in
sisted on serving me the third cup
of coffee?

Auto Safety Belt
Perfected by
Surgeon

KANSAS CITY, Feb. II IN.S)
A safety belt similar to that worn
by airplane passengers was being
perfected by young surgeon here
today to reduce the number of
serious injuries resulting from
automobile accidents.
AS an inferno he was appalled,
by the severity of injuries incurred
when human bodies were dashed
around in a careening car like
peas in a pod" Frequently he
was called upon to crawl into the
twisted remains of wrecked auto
mobiles to administer first aid and
all too often found he was con-
fronted with q coroner's case.
His safety belt is designed to
hold its wearer securely against
the car cushions in case of
smaShup, and keep him from Strik-
ing the steering wheel, dash, wind
shield, or other objects.
The device. which he expects to
patent soon, will be loose enough
for comfort. resilient and strong
enough to absorb shock.

SHIFTED
TO SUPPLY
RELIEF
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM
International News Service

President Roosevelt today was
shown to have ordered big shifts
of money within Government de-
partments to replenish constant
drain on Works Progress Admin,
iStration.
Analysis of Treasury figures re-
vealed that in 13 months more
than 1900 million dollars was
shunted from Slow-moving relief
projects to Speedier expenditure
outlets.
Between December, 1895, and
January 81, 1887, the President
had made ALLEGATIONS totaling 6,116
million dollars to various Federal
agencies. These allotmentS came
from the 6,129 million dollars ap-
propriated by Congress for relief
during this period.
For the past few months so
little unallocated relief money was
available that many projects were
abandoned or postponed. At the
end of January, only $4,000
of the entire relief appropriation
was not earmarked for some spe-
cific purpose.
In an effort to satisfy demands
for quick-acting relief programs,
the President effected wholesale
reductions in funds set aside for
numerous government organiza.
tionS.
Intricate bookkeeping methods
by which big sums were drained
from one department to another
were revealed in the Treasury'S re-
lief analysis.
Officials explained that money
constantly was siphohed from
numerous Federal units into a
master account" from which it
was then reallocated, usually to
the WPA.
The PWA, headed by Secretary
of Interior IckeS, bore the brunt of
the draining process. After the
President allotted 764 million dol,
lars to this organization, 329 mil.
lion dollars was withdrawn when
relief money started to dwindle.
In January, the PWA was allo-
Gated only $4,000 while more than
sixty-one million dollars of its
funds were diverted to other de.
