A Bandanna Doll Has Old Time Charm

F YOU want to make a very big
i doll, use two hanks of yarn and
the biggest red bandanna hand
kerchief you can find. Smaller
dolls made from one hank and a
medium size handkerchief are al
so attractive.
Tie the hank at the top as at A,
then cut it across the bottom.
Make the head by tying the yarn
in as at B, then separate part of
the strands at the sides and bind
them together to make the arms
as at c and D. Cut these strands
off as at E to make the hands.
Bind the rest of the yarn around
as at F to define the waistline.
Thread a large needle with white
darning cotton and make the
mouth and eyes with several
stitches made as shown here. Sew
small black buttons or beads in
the middle of the eyes.
Cut square out of the center
of the handkerchief. The square
piece you cut out should be big
enough so it may be cut through
the center from corner to corner
to make two triangles-one to be
used for the head kerchief for the
doll and one for the three cornered
shoulder kerchief. When this is
done, gather around the square
hole in the center of the bandanna
and draw up the gathering thread
to make the full top of the skirt.

But let the present merchant lose
his meat loaf by the awakening
self-interest of his best customer
and you will find him crying to
high heaven against the noise, vul-
garity and shiftlessness that is
running the neighbOrhOOd and
running decent men out of bust
ness!
OF course the answer to that is
simplicity itself. Remove the
stumbling block before it has OPP
pOrtunity to cause irreparable in
jury.
One of the reasons that should
make this easier is the fact that
one of the newly established bust
nesses has several hundred stock
holders, who, while having each
only a small investment, can and
will realize it can and will grow if
properly directed and protected.
Now many of these persons have
never before had any business in
vestment. That is by no means I'M
usual.
But it is the reason why they
have never stopped to consider how
a crowd of careless youth, blocking
a pavement, yelling coarse Ian
guage, can and will destroy bust
ness, debase a neighborhood and
prevent a reasonable normal
growth in the respect community
will pay to a worth while contrib
utor. These things have always
been black eye for Negro neigh
borhoods.
But when the thing is brought
directly home and placed on their
own dOOrsteps, when they begin to
see the possibility of building bust
ness all up and down these arterial
streets and conclude, as they must,
that if irresponsible youth with not
dime at stake are permitted to
injure a business in which they
Cthe stOckhOlders) do have a very
definite interest, steps must be
taken to protect themselves.
Those steps are easily deter
mined. There are and have ever

And in way your guess would

Poetic Thoughts
Minnesota-IOwa Clubs
By MORRIS GIBBS, SIR.

Minnesota-Iowa Clubs started in thirty-fve
BY former Iowans who wanted to keep alive
The ideals and associations of their former state,
Since nterockng together opportunity has gate
Iowans rugged, virile citzenry
Who know how to work the soil and raise
Some of the finest in hogs without furry,
For their land raises right in a hurry
That isn't all they do
For they have all gone good schools,
Where education is ranked among first place
For those of US who could continue in the race
Their aim is new ideas to propagate,
But let everyone know they cooperate
In all that is progressive for business and
So that the other can't haven't any place.
Now those of us of Minnesota BIRTH
Welcome all Iowans to hearth
For such combination can't be beat
For we can show people how tremendously meet

Mr.. Morris Gibbs.
Poetic Thoughts.
l was delighted to read in the
Minneapolis Spokesman, and in the
Recorder, some of your poems-in
the column Poetic Thoughts" l
refer to those dedicated "Women's
Clubs" Whose Problems" etc.
said delighted, but I was not
surprised. For having known your
mother through her interest in our
National Association of Colored
Women, and as organizer of our
own Minnesota Association of Col
ored Women, l rather expected to
find her children walking in her
footsteps. Each year we organ
lied club women of Minnesota pay
high tribute to her, "Ione E..
Gibbs" who gave of herself so
freely that colored womanhood of
Minnesota, in its quest for culture
and refinement, might attain those
heights which only persistent eff
fort and perseverance can bring.
February 9Th, for 33 years, has
been our anniversary of that event.
And we have not missed single
year to celebrate our anniversary
and mid-winter meeting on that
day, and review, again and again,
some of the very fine things she
did. Her work in our National As
ISOLATION of Colored Women is re-
corded in our national history for
all time.
am a lover of good poetry, Mr..
Gibbs, and 1 appreciate your con-
tributions. 1 think the paper is
taking a forward step in adding
Poetic Thoughts" to it's columns,
and I am sure that it's readers ap-
preciate and enjoy it each week.
Whether it be hobby, avocation
or just a natural trend of express

takably taking his Mothers foot

ing in the county for the past eight
or nine months as a demonstra-

tailed description of her work.
Among many other things, she ex-
planned that her clinics held in the
,-chools reveal there are a large
number of dependent children who
are badly in need of glasses before
state clinic is held. She also told
about how treatment had been Sc

gram committee and introduced
Miss Weaver.
