Our be-kind- -to-your husband de- partment this week contains this little quotation from Your Life as a Woman and How to Make the Most of It." book about women by woman for women. . Quote: Pipe racks are usually unsightly. The fact that he (your husband) has 20 pipes and never since you've known him has shocked more than four of them doesn't mean that he isn't convinced that he may use all 20 some day, and that he must have them within instant reach. You don't dare discard his worn out, disreputable hats or neckties You couldn't get him to part with a pair of old shoes though you know perfectly well he'll never wear them again He clings to shabby old Morris chair. He wants lights so brilliant they stunt you. End quote

Along Him Street
Greensboro, NC.
BY Captain

There is a love call at twi-
light for friends and mates in
summer between birds of kind,
for instance the call in LONELINESS
Old Bob White. AS / sit alone at
twilight on the farm and hear
the call of birds in solitude, the
saddest of all seems the call of
Old Bob White, and then the twi-
good night
light comes to kiss the rose
Along Elm street, Green's
boro, N. c., l stand at times in
solitude longing for faces I'll
see no more and there, alone /
think of birds in summer on the
farm in the whippor-wills call.
But many of the boys of child
hood with whom / used to play
when Greensboro and her Main
street were home sweet home to
me are gone with the wind, but
not all. Some of them are great
men now in other parts of the
world, for instance District At
torney Leon Miller, long of A.
and T. college here was once a
handsome figure on En- street.
with his wife, nee Miss Foster,
of North Gilmer street, the fine
daughter of Mr.. Foster, one of
the best brick-masons Greens
boro ever had. Mr.. Leon Miller
is Assistant District Attorney,
WEIGH, West Virginia. Again
we hear the call of Bob White
for another of Elm street, the
Rev. John Byers of WEIGH, West
/ Virginia.
Coming to white boys of old
Elm street the whipporwilPs cal
in its loneliness brings to mind
that fine lumber manufacturer
of Red Springs, N. c., Jimmy
Love, whose father was a lumber
man here, Mr.. Love is doing
well.

most valuable eXtant material
covering the anti-slavery period
was donated to, the University
shortly after it began to operate.
In furtherance nf my proposal,
DR. ]. E. MoofelMd, ,Alumnus &
Trustee of Howard University,
was induced to turn over to his
alma mater his collection of race
books and pamphlets, now known
as t h e Mooreland Collection to
which he devoted the savings of
a lifetime.
John w. Cromwell, Secretary
of the American Negro Academy
loaned The Cathcart Clippings
containing scores of massive
volumes covering various phases
of the reconstruction period.
Experts tell us that these clip
pings cannot be duplicated.
With these individual collections
to the University Foundation
during the past 25 years, has
added numerous books, pamph-
let's, speeches and addresses so
that now its race library con-
tains one thousand titles. But
this is only the beginning, these
publications more or less pro-
miscuously brought together
are for the most part in the
English languae. The vast
treasure house is locked up in
the Spanish, French and Portu-
gese languages and has scarcely
been touched. At the time of
my proposal. the Trustees were
so involved in other issues that
they were not prepared to give
nv proposition the attention and
efforts which its far reaching
significance deserved.
The approaching completion
of Howard UNIVERSITIES Million
dollar library naturally suggests
the renewal of my proposal made
quarter of a century ago.

arian of Congress; And rev
Dickens White, President of
Cornell University; Walter H.
Page, t h n Minister to Great
Britain and Thomas Nelson
Page, Ambassador to Italy
agreed with me that Howard
University was the ideal place
for the establishment of the pro-
posed Negro Americana, which
would be in easy reach of both
students and research scholars
in this rich field of literary,
historical, scientific and sociolo-
gical inquiry.
In 1915, l memoralized the
Board of Trustees of. Howard
University with reference to
the establishment Of a Negro
Americana which would ade-
quately cover h field whose
surface hitherto had scarcely
been scratched. l secured the
Endorsement of the leading
librarians, authors, publishers
and philanthropists concerning
the establishment of the propos-
ed Negro Americana at Howard
University. l suggested to the
Board that the Federal Govern

as we'll as Individual philanthro-
pists might be induced to con-
tribute ample funds for the ac-
cowplishment of this task as we'll
as adequate endowment for a

Rocky Mount Virginia

Last Sunday in Rocky Mount
where those people are wide a
wake along any and all progress
sive lines, was one more day to
be remembered. The special oc-
casion was to raise money with
which to beautify and make COM
Portable the church by Install
ing fine supply Of pews of the
first make and the best quality.
This rally resulted in the rails
ing of $208.50. The Hon. Lee

full business man in Franklin CO.
and especially in the city of
Rocky Mount was on hand, in
the least with a friendly and CO.
operative membership AN d

very hearts, apparently, SEEM
ed to have been. Of. one mind.
moved in and among the crowd
without ndise, touching elbow
with elbow it'll each other, max
ing it known that this was a real
Christian movement for God,
the community and for love and
harmony.
The services were considered
the best ever had or equally as
good. Of course there was not
as much money as when former
occasions like this were pulled off
because it is remembered that
rallys for this same church have
Melted as high as four hundred
dollars. But at time like this
when the depression, then the
recession and all other depleated
sessions, are all over the land
and the country the people
everywhere are rejoicing. Then
one big idea and the great COM
pliment is the fact that white
pople, not only little white folks
big white folks, rich white folks
al of whom have religion and
the love of God in thier hearts
that removes that old moss
backed spirit of prejudice, that
class of good white men and
women were present. They
were not there as curiousity
seekers. as criticizers, as des--
pisers, but were there because
they wanted to prove to the
colored women and men who had
been living peaceably by their
side for years and had proven
friends, they were just there be-
I cause they are a people who
know you can't worship God in
confusion. They know the com
munlty as a whole needs peace
| in the community among the
races and all peoples as the Lore
himself demanded, And wher
this is true you may always look
i60r God to reward your efforts
with success.
l. II While there are a number, oil
linen who have won special dis.
tinctiOn because of their abilit6
and proven success at whatever
they put their hands. The peo
pie of Rocky Mount, Franklin
county, Virginia are some o.
the most loyal, friendly and co
operative people ever found il
! any other county in the state.

RISING SUN HIGH SCHOOL
BY The Journalism Club

Rising Sun has not, for even a
rural community, large school. Its
enrolment at the present time is
just a little over 200. While that is
the greatest of any school in the
Upper Half, it is by no means large.
For this reason we of Rising Sun
take especial pride in the booklet
given out by the Crowell Publishing
Co., as a stimulus to its magazine
campaign. This booklet contains
order blanks and lists of magazines;
pictures and description of prizes
students could win as commissions;
pictures of high salesman among
students; and pictures of high
schools with exceptional selling
records.
Included among the later group
of pictures was one of R.S.H.S. The
agent of the Crowell Publishing Co.,
explained that, because of the SUMS
steady dependable record over the
past ten years, he had recommended
that our school be given recognition.
This, while but small phase of
school activities at the Sun, gives
