Shooting Stars.
BY PHlLANDER JOHNSON,
A Wizard Of Fashion,

A Wizard Of Fashion.
Jed Tunkins is so busy
That he's getting lame and dizzy
From his efforts to keep up the social
stride
His family's so ambitious
That Jed says he sometimes wishes
That they hadn't quite so much patri-
clan pride.
He finds, poor, patient plodder.
He has missed his morning fodder.
The breakfast dishes have been cleared
away.
But he grabs crust and eats 1t.
To his Office desk he beats it.
Where hangs the sign, This is my
busy day."
In the afternoon he hurries
From the scene Of Office worries
And he tries to look as happy as can be.
With a manner kind and hearty
He must join the cocktail party
His folks assemble at the giddy tea.
With his costume always changing
For his duties widely ranging,
He must answer to multitude of calls
Turning from the humblest duty
To become thing Of beauty
With a dress suit underneath his
overalls.
And in spite of all his labors
You will hear unfeeling neighbors
Raise a comment with a supercilious
smile;
How dye suppose he gets the money?
Well to say the least It's funny
The way Jed Tunkins loafs and puts
on stylel"

Council Will
Aid Fight on
U'DiscriminatiOn

Prompt support has been pledged
by the Minnesota Negro Council
to student organizations in the
fight against discrimination in the
dormitories at the University of
Minnesota.
Warren Grissom, student at the
University, presented the case at
the Council meeting on Sunday,
January 10th, at the Sterling Club
in st. Paul, and was assured of
full support of the Council in an
effort to once and for all settle
the issue of the dormitory situa-
ton at the University.
Mr.. Grissom charged, as was
stated in last weeks paper, that
the Administration backed a policy
Of non-admittance of Negro stu
dents to the dormitory facilities
provided by the State at the Uni
versity, and, further, that the Ad-
ministration refuses to allow the
matter a proper presentation be-
fore the Board of Regents, while on
the other hand issuing statements
that there is no discrimination at
the University and that Negro stu
dents prefer not to live in the dor
mitories.

Bacteria FIavors Cheese

Rennet cheese may be divided
into the hard and the soft types, the
principal difference between them
being in the amount of moisture or
whey left in the curd, the bacteria
or mold used to .roduce their char
acteristic flavor, and their method
Of curing. The most common types
of hard cheese are the Cheddar and
Swiss. The soft types are represent
ed by cream, Brie, Camembert, etc.
Between these two groups are varie-
ties which may be characterized as
semi-hard, such as brick, Meunster
and limburger. AS a rule, in the
hard cheeSeS, the micro-organisms
which produce the 'ripening" are
distributed through the cheese mass
and therefore act in fairly uniform
way throughout the cheese. In the
"ripened" soft cheeses, these organ
isms are mostly on the surface and
gradually penetrate through the
mass; hence it follows that soft
cheeses must be made in small
sizes. Cream cheese is an ''unrip-
ened" soft cheese, being marketed
fresh. withor' curing.

Gavagan Banquet
On LincOln'S
Birthday, Feb. IL
BY Mary D. Mcfarland.

On Saturday, Feb. IL, 1888, the
Mems Club of St. Peter Claver
Catholic church will celebrate Lin
coins birthday in an inter-racial
program at a banquet at st.
Luke's School, Portland and Vic
toria Avenues, at $50 p. m. Con-
gresham Joseph A. Gavagan of
New York and Washington, D. c.,
will be guest speaker. Thank God
that the spirit of the immortal Lin
coin lives in the soul of this fear
less Christian man. 1t is he who
is sponsoring the Anti-Lynching
Bill in Congress. With his. elo-
quence of oratory, he pleads for
righteousness and justice for the
Negro before the laws Of our
country. 1t requires no little
courage for a man to stand before
a great, august body of statesmen
and plead the cause of the Negro.
1 am sure the people of st. Paul
and Minneapolis will take advan-
tage of this rare opportunity to
meet their friend and benefactor,
Tickets for the dinner are Toe.
Reservations may be made by call
ing the Rectory, Dale 0952; the Ur-
ban League, Cedar 24SO; the Halle

Minneapolis, Cherry 3098.
The race question is one of the
crucibles in which the Christian re-
hgion is being severely tested. The
theory of the universal fatherhood
of God and the brotherhood of man
must evolve into a living reality
before the Christian religion shall
have done it's perfect work, or be-
fore there shall be any life in our
vociferous Christian professions.

Introduction of a new musical
number and the appearance of
Marian Anderson, great Philadel-
phia contralto, as soloist, will mark
the concert of the Minneapolis
Symphony Orchestra Thursday,
Feb. 3, at $50 p. M, at Northrop
Memorial Auditorium, with Dimitri
Mitropoulos conducting.
Miss Anderson made such a hit
with local audiences last season
that Mrs. Carlyle Scott, manager
of the orchestra, received many re-
quests to bring her back again
this season.
The new musical number is the
First Symphonic Suite, LA Vie de
Polichinelle," by Nicolas Nabokoff,
young Russian who is now head of
the music department at Wells Col
lege. He visited Minneapolis a few
weeks ago to lecture at the Min
neapolis Institute of Arts on Mod
ern Music. He wrote this piece as
music for a ballet first produced
in the Paris Opera in 1884 and
then rearranged it for symphonic
use. 1t was played in this form by
Cleveland year ago. This will be
its first playing here.
The program for this Thursday
will open with the orchestra play
ing Mozart's old favorite serenade
for strings, "Eine Kleine Nachtmu-
six" After that Miss Anderson
will give three songs-the Largo
and "Ah Spietato" from Handel's
"Xerxes" and Mozart's "Allulia."
Then will come the Polichinelle be-
fore intermission. After intermis-
sion the orchestra will present an
other old favorite, Beethoven's
Symphony No. in C minor, OPP. 81.
The story of Polichinelle was
based on a series of drawings
made by Tiepolo and turned up
about 20 years ago after being lost
for some time. Poichinelle was
the Neapoitan Pulcinella, born the
son of a barber, and from youth
given over to many tricks. While
still boy, he used to pull off his
fathers customers wigs and pour
soap in their faces. While still
only a boy, he married and &C
quired a family of dozen chill
dren. He deserted them to run off
with a circus performer, and so
we'll did he dance that he soon
was a popular hero. His wife,
however, tried to kill the circus
queen but Polichinelle pushed her
down well. The authorities, un-
able to take this as a joke, hanged
and shot him. The populace was
Infatuated over such shortsighted-
ness In robbing them Of such a hero
and staged a fine riot as soldiers
were about to bury Polichinelle.

TWO MORE HELD In NEAL CASE
LOST STRONG BOX BRINGS TWO MORE ARRESTS

Christian race relation should make
US respect the divine image in
every human beng, regardless of
race, creed or color.
1t is recorded by some writer's
that Abraham Lincoln was not a
Christian, that he did not belong
to any church, that he was ignorant
and uncouth. Now, / prefer to
think of a Christian as one who
possesses the life of Christ, and
practices his religion. Abraham
Lincoln stands out pre-eminent-
ly as the greatest challenger for
social justice for the Negro. No
man without some deep religious
convictions and who was not in
close communion with his God
could have made such sacrifices
for the adjustment of the institu-
tion of human slavery.

DIR. JOHN G. ROCKWELL TO
ADDRESS EDUCATIONAL
MASS MEETING

Under the auspices of the Edu-
cational Committee of the Mime
apolis Urban League a meeting to
discuss the educational problems of
our group will be held at Border
M. E. Church Sunday, January 80,
6. pm This meeting will take
place during the young peoples
'Vesper Hour.
DR.. John G. Rockwell, State
Commissioner of Education, has
been secured to give the principal
address. This is a rare treat for
the people of Minneapolis because
DR.. Rockwell's philosophy of educa-
tion and his understanding of the
economic and social status of the
Negro places him in a position to
give the kind of talk that will be of
practical value to both young
people and adults.
Many of our young people have
received educational assistance
through DR.. Rockwell's department
and what is of equal Importance to
us, he has given members of our
group employment.
This is the second of a series of
meetings planned by the Urban
League to focus attention upon the
fact that our group should avail
itself of the many educational
facilities afforded by Minneapolis.

When police over-ran the house,

excitedly took the box to his broth
er's home, from which it disap-
peared.
When w. Squire Neal was re-

reported the matter to the Henne-

ordered the arrests in the case.
Say Box Contained $4,000
Meanwhile the daily press, aided
by a statement from Dan Webb,

lines relating the storying that the
missing box contained $4,000
of the money which John L. Neal
allegedly embezzled from the 500
Line r. r.
Webb, it is understood, has used
every means to connect W. Squire
Neal and the Neal Funeral Home
with the 500 Line shortage.
There is no change in the status
of John Neal, held under $4,000
bond for the federal grand jury
which convenes February IA, in St.

Tribune Reader
Protests Use of
Term 'Negress'

Use of the distasteful term "Ne-
gress" by daily newspapers when
referring to woman of the Negro
race has long riled Twin City
women. Wednesday mornings
Minneapolis Tribune carried a
story in which the term was used.
It's use was displeasing to hun
dreds of women who read the Trib-
une, but only one of them decided
to do something about it. This
woman, Mrs. Margaret Combs,
1928 9Th Ave. S., and a teacher in
the workers education department
of the Works Progress Administra-
ton, telephoned the Spokesman
Recorder office in Minneapolis.
When her complaint was heard
she was advised to call the Trib-
une direct and make her protest
to the managing editor, Thomas
Dillon. Mrs. Combs called Mr..
Dillon lodging her protest as a sub
scriber.
Mr.. Dillon told Mrs. Combs that
he personally was unaware that the
term Negress was distasteful to
colored people. When informed by
Mrs. Combs that it was, he told
her that he would issue an order
barring the use. Of. the term from

This newspaper has called it to the
attention of Negro women's or
CARNATIONS several times, but no
known protest has been.lodged with
the proper executives before.
Similar protests should be made
to the st. Paul Pioneer Press, st.
Paul Despatch, St. Paul Daily
News, Minneapolis Journal and the
Minneapolis Star. From our ex-
perience none of these newspapers
want to incur the complete dis
pleasure of any racial group or do
anything that may be construed as
unfair to such groups. They are
all often in their news treatment of
Negroes manifestly unfair, but in
a great many cases it is due not
to malice aforethought, but to gen.
eral ignorance of just how the Ne
gro feels about certain things.
Those individuals and organiza-
tons who follow Mrs. Combs ex-
ample will find the dailies willing
to rectify unsatisfactory conditions.
