TACOM. 4 SOCIAL

Mr.. Jesse Brooks, local fuel deal
er, reports a splendid pick up in
business. When men or women of
our group undertake a business
career, it is the duty of citizens
to give them full support. That
is the only way to create employ
ment. Tacoma has two outstand-
ing fuel businesses-tho of Mr.
Jesse Brooks and Mr.. L. Brad
shaw.
Miss Edith Wilson, well-known
entertainer, is insisting that the
fight against unfair and prejudiced
tactics of the state highway de-
partment and liquor board be car
ried on to the finish, and we may
add that if colored people expect
to become full Pledged citizens
they had better make up their
minds to protect their political and
economic interest.
The N. A. A. c. p. in the Cal
ifornia district will no doubt be
called upon to protest discrimina-
tion in the G. G. G. camp located in
Richmond Calf. White officers
and their wives insist that colored
boys cannot be present when wo-
men are using the educational
room. Incidentally these are the
young men of the race who will
be called on to defend the country
in time of war and it looks like
we are headed that way.
Mt. T. Templeton, veteran en-
ployee of the Griffin Wheel Works,
is planning a real Xmas, and we
don't mean maybe.
Miss Gladys Cabell reports Won
derful progress of our group il
Harlem. Men and women are en-
ployed in most of all the large de-
partment stores, restaurants, meat
markets, vegetable stands and ev-
cry business where colored people
spend their money. We of the far
west had better take notice.

MinOrities Must
Wipe Out Their
Own Prejudices

NEW YORK, Dec. 14-"Perhaps
at no other time in our nations
history is the role that minority
races must play, if democracy is
to be maintained, so clearly defin-
ed as it is today"
Thus spoke DR.. Louis Wright,
chief surgeon at Harlem Hospital,
and chairman of the board of dir
ectors of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People.
Placing America at the head of
world democracies THAT can aid
in actively opposing this tide of
reaction" DR.. Wright added:
THAT is why the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People calls upon all min
critics in America to scrutinize
their ranks, wipe out the last ves-
tiges of prejudice there, and hav-
ing done this, proceed to the task
of wiping out these prejudices
from other sections of our citizen
ry."

Inez Beauty Shoppe
BY Eunis Mott

The Inez Beauty Shoppe, locat-
ed at 1886 n. Vancouver Avenue,
specializes in all kinds of cosme-
tology, croquignoling, and spec
ialty Apex preparation. To equal
the latest modes of hair dress, Mrs.
Inez Duke, proprietress, has made
her unique shop modernistic in
every little detail, carrying the
color scheme out in black and
white. Entering the salon is a
beautifully designed waiting room
which includes a black and white
leatherette settee that curves to
the floor where it is met by the
base of shining black chromium
plated ash trays. After passing
the table where the manicurist
makes hands lovely, you stroll into
the real thing. Every accommo-
dalton "milady" could wish for is
in this room: the assistant, Mrs.
Lily Mae Hicks, has her private
booth, then the booth for milady's
facial, and the booth in which the
proprietress transforms your hair
into an admirable dress. The love-
ly feature of this unique shop is
the two charming beauticians who
are always eagerly waiting to
serve you.

Dick Stanton
By Eunis Mott

Not only, does he ALL STAR in
the 1888 Oregon High School Foot
ball Series, but Richard Dick"
Stanton stars in all he does. An
official leader of the Oregon Boy
Scouts, a winner in school orator
ical contests, track star rating
with the highest, a football hero
to all fans, an efficient club man
and a boy with loads of friends is
Dick, who possesses every quality
of true craftsmanship. While 9th
ers aspire, Stanton accomplishes.
More power to you, Dick, and keep
on achieving those extraordinary
ideals, personified, which best i'm
personate you.
