HUNT PET MINK

ELYRIA, O. (UP)-Police re-
ceived different kind of "miss-
ing person" call. The missing one
was a "Mrs. Mink"--not human,
but a female mink valued at $50.
Its owner, o. V. Carper, told po-
lice that the animal had strayed
from his home and asked them to
help look for it.

THOSE LITTLE MONKEYS

Those three little monkeys

to hear no evil, one with his paws
over his eyes to see no evil, and
the other with his paws over his
lips to speak no evil-have a GER
tain splendid significance. But in
still another way are those little
figures approximate: When evil is
going on and being done, the per-
son who refuses to see it, or TO
hear it, or to denounce it, is in
deed monkey!

Pertinent Questions
Asked BY Civic
Rights Group

The Detroit Civic Rights commit
tee, OF which s. F. Grigsby is chair
man, writes the following open let
ter, in connection with the action
OF the Common Council on the
employment issue at Brewster
Housing project. The letter reads !:
Detroit, Mich.
Oct 6, 1898
Editor Detroit Tribune:
Negroes In the City OF Detroit
are watching the employment an
gle OF housing projects and rental
OF stores in housing projects all
over the country.
Here are a few OF the questions
that the Detroit Civic Rights COM
mittee is asking. What is the Coun-
ellis answer?
The Detroit Street Railway com
mission by an act. blanketed five
thousand city employees under CT
VII service. which was not objected
to by the Common Council or the
Civil Service commission. Since
the Council and Civil Service COM
mission did not object, 1t meant
that they concurred.
1. Why has the same Common
Council placed a charter amend
ment on the ballot to blanket all
the two hundred employees OF the
House OF Correction. who were on
the pay roll up to September 1?
2. Why could they not have in
cluded all OF the thirty employees
OF the Brewster Housing project,
who were on the payroll up to No
vember !, 1888. on the same char
ter amendment?
3. Can the Council explain why
they excluded thirty Negroes from
being blanketed under civil service,
as they have blanketed employees
on other Jobs?
4. Are the councilmen trying to
make believe that they are the Ne
groes' friends. knowing at the same
time from past experiences that
the Civil Service commission is
biased in grading papers and plac-
ing Negroes on high salaried Jobs
through competitive examina-
lions?
The Detroit Civic Rights COM
mittee would certainly like to know
the public's opinion In the above
matter.
Respectfully,

and close substandard homes 10 the

Gated such action in our report. We
believe that the investigation
should not be limited to homes
vacated by those moving into the

the result will be the repairing OF

Three Departments In Probe
The investigation will be con-
ductd by the Board Of Health

commissioner, working With the

Some OF these case reports
Mayor Reading said, show living
conditions which are unciyilized

great step toward providing low
income families with homes in the
erection OF the Federal projects.
Most OF the good. however, will be
lost II other unfortunate families
are permitted TO move into the
same quarters that the government
tenants will vacate."
It was explained by the mayor
that his order for the probe will
call for a differentiation between
dwellings which are substandard by
reason OF overcrowding and those
which are substandard because OF
physical defects in the building or
lack OF sanitary equipment.
The probe will cover the 147s sub

test against the social ambitions of their
wives to change the plain old fashioned order
of their homes into something ''newfangled
and misfit.''
The first letter says: when my wife let's
the neighbors in to play rubber of bridge,
how can get them to 60 home? If can't do
this, then how can leave them without
fourth and 20 to bed when know need all
the wits I've got the next morning?
I'VE give our real parties on Saturday
evenings and we seldom 60 out to parties
except on that evening, too. But my wife
seems to have a sad collection of friends who
always are telling her how lonely they are, and
she lets them come over to play just one
rubber - which always stretches out to three
or four or more"
So in answer to this writer let me suggest:
Why can't you insist upon calling up another
person to make the fourth, and play perhaps
until the fourth arrives? But refuse to begin
to play unless that fourth is certainly coming!
Or, if those who come in are intimate friends,
why can't you say frankly and firmly: I'll
be glad to play, but as I've got to get to bed
early, I've set this alarm clock for ten O clock.
When it goes off I'm going to leave you at the
end of that rubber" - and leave!
know of one man who does this always,
and know how successful this practice is. In
fact, it seems to give him sort of added
prestige, something almost akin to 'glamor."
Moreover, other Woodworking men are will
ing to go to his house when they won't go
anywhere else.
And now, the second letter: six months
ago some new people moved to our town.
They have all the earmarks of the fashionable
world. They have bought the biggest place
here and they have lot of servants But they
do not put on any airs. They are the simplest
people to be imagined. But their effect upon
us, who were simple people (using the word
simple in the sense of plain), has been, from
my standpoint, ruination to all of us. Let me
give you picture of this situation if can.
81 shall say that our name is Brown; the
name of the new people is Vernon. Now, the
Vernons are real people, perfectly natural in
their own more grand setting.
eve are also real people - perfectly nat
ural in our much less grand settings. Why
should we have to change our mode of life in
