Entire city blocks were reduced to

Forty persons were said to have

The Japanese airmen concentrated
their death-dealing projectiles around
the Wongsha station of the Hankow-

and munitions have poured into CEN

Some Of these. days


HIS tiny legs were too short to
IL reach the bellows Of an old
family organ when his self-educa-
ton in music began in Amesburg,
Ontario. He mastered the keyboard
while an older brother pumped. At
sixteen he was earning his living
as a piano player in Detroit, and a
few years later he was a celebrated
colored vaudeville star-both pianist
and comedian.
Between shows - backstage - he
would sit at the piano, hours at a
time, improVising melodies. Early in
1910 he evolved a melody which he
believed should become a popular
song. Vainly he sought words for
the appealing tune, until one day,
lunching in a cafe near the vaude-
vile house, he was thrilled by the
dramatic valedictory Of girl who
cried as a heartbreaking farewell
to her sweetheart: Some Of these
days you're going to miss me,
honey!" The rhythmic goodbye was
Of pattern with his melody. In
less than an hour he had completed
words and music of his song, and
Some Of These Days" was on its
way to become a great American
popular song hit.
For twenty-eight years 1t has
been sung through a complete copy
right period, and in 1888 its com
poser renewed its profitable copy
right for the second twenty.eight
year period. Meanwhile he had writ
ten: "Darktown Shutters Ball.
Jean" "All Night Long" "Walkin'
the Dog" You Amt Talking To
Me-" Honey Gal' and many others
He became a member Of the Amer
lean Society of Composers, Authors
and Publishers.
While vaudeville lasted he was q
headliner in America and Europe
With the collapse Of vaudeville, he
became a famous night club enter
tainer. He is a familiar figure in
New York City night life, lives in
Brooklyn and is an authority among
musicians on the development OF

Here And
There

Ipicked up a pamphlet in the Of
fee of the Minneapolis Urban
League a day or two ago that
should have a very definite inter-
est for the youth of this cOmmu-
nifty as well as for parents and
friends of young people. :
1t was issued by the national Of
fee of the league and asked of the
youth of the race what it's chances
are for a job when school days are
over.
Discounting the hindrances of
prejudice, segregation and the ten
dency of withholding places from
young Negroes it declares there is
still an opportunity for satisfac,
tory placement if the applicant
prepares now to make himself OIL
herself efficient for the job desired
through education and training. II
points out very clearly how this
can be done. .--..
My first reaction recognizes thu

great advantage the youth of today
has over those of a quarter of a
century ago, These had r. no wide
spread, capable organization to
offer its protective oversight to the
children of that day. No national
unified effort to assemble vital i'm.
pOrtant facts and the knowledge
and experience to place these so
helpfully and impressively at the
service of its people. ,.-- .
My next thought is to add little
further argument and a few ad-
ditiOnal facts to the leagues pre-
sentatiOn which of. necessity ID

The present economic situation
seems to justify our young people

ing the situation of the moment.
But ten years from now she will
still be -labOring at a poorly paid
job. Her earning capacity will
never increase. She will find that
if she and her parents had con-
tinued to sacrifice for the educa-
ton and the training for one of
the places the leagues letter points
to her abilities through increased
fitness and greater skill will en-
able her after that period to earn
many times the amount of her
present income, more than repay
the investment of the years of
preparation and the sacrifices en-
tailed, to say nothing of the more
satisfying atmosphere of her sur
rOundings. -
In communities as small in Ne
gro pOpulace as these Twin Cities
the disposition is to say there is
no possibility of using educated
trained people of the group. That
may be true for the present. 1t
will not always be so. In the
meanwhile there is no need for our
youth to center its ambitions and
its outlook within that narrow
circle.
Just because, there is ample pro-
feSsional skill in the fields of
medicine, law and dentistry just
now in the Twin Cities, is no rea-
son to forget there are ID millions
of our people in these United
States who can and who will alb
sorb all the professional skills we
can develop for years to come.
There are 5000 Negro patients
for every Negro physician in this
country, a far greater number than
the best endowed doctor can prop
erly care for. 1t is, in fact, three
times the number the average
white physician has. In the field
of dentistry the outlook for the
skillful prepared dentist is even
much better. There are states in
the South where a hundred thou
sand people of the Negro group
mast depend upon such service as
one man can give.
We have developed the belief
that professional person must
be doctor or a dentist and these
professions must be followed in a
big city. Nothing is farther from
the truth. Our people are growing
in numbers in wealth and in the
need for and appreciation Of
trained help in many fields.
Negro business is reaching Out
into territories of which our ia,
theirs did not so much as dream
We are able today to use all thu
trained personnel our schools car
provide. Like the rest of the PEG
pie of our country we are begin
ming to demand skilled competent
workers in supplying our increas
ing needs.
| In the biggest business we havl
developed, that of insurance, tn,
surface of its possibilities hai
scarcely been scratched.
| In this business and the associ
ated business of banking and in
Vestment there are employed les
than 10000 persons. They cal
easily use 100000!
In the list of possible fields o
employment the National Urbal
League submits to the Negro youtl
of today are: Accountants, actors
architects, artists, auto mechanics
bakers, bankers, BARRIERS, black
smiths, carpenters, cartOOnists
chaufeurs, hairdressers, jewellers
