to let them (the weak railroads) re-
organize rather than to advance NOR
of the taxpayers money; for then 1t
would be possible for the Eorderllne
roads to spend more on property
Roads on the borderline have spent
so little on property recently that
they are eating UP whatever equity Is
in them through inefficient operation.
1t is a noticeable thing that the mo-
ment a road goes into receivership
the court in charge instructs the re-
ceivers to spend large sums on re-
Mobilization.
Reorganization Difficult.
Simplification of the bankruptcy
law as it applies to railroads also is
up. Reorganization under W-B has
been virtually impossible so far. One
third of the security holders can pre-
vent any plan from going through.
"Simplification" in this instance
NAV mean ruthless elimination. That
would affect large institutions, such
as insurance companies, as well as
small holders.
The large institutions would not suf-
fer so much as the small holders
Large institutions hold bonds of sound
properties as well as unsound pro
perties The securities of the sounf
properties would be enhanced by thu
elimination of unsound properties.
Actually, the sound rail companies
have a bright future if the .srotten
branches are cut away.

Housewives, we must come to
the conclusion that our work does
not end inside our homes. We must
get our heads together and plan
out ways and means of using the
weapon of the pocketbook to best
advantage. We must, first, last
and always, throw our support to
those firms who have realized the
value of the Negro woman's purse
and have put our boys and girls to
work in dignified positions.
At this time our youth are show
ing worthiness of our sincere sup
port. They are going about their
drive for more employment in a
peaceful but yet intelligent and
commanding manner. We house
wives should be proud of such stall
wart young people who have
braved hot sun and rain to win
their own cause. When housewives
make plans for the home it is the
best. So our youth must be praised
when they go out after the best
jobs, not content to be satisfied
with mop and broom.

HOUSEWIVES AWAKENING
By Mrs. Kitty Hall

Negro housewives of st. Louis
have become aware of the fact that
our boys and girls need the support
of the women who handle the
pocketbook. When called upon to
help carry forward a program for
the securing of jobs, youth found
US willing and ready to help carry
the load. We must not now fail to
prove to our own sons and daugh-
tiers that we understand their prob
lens and honor them for their mill
tant spirit of fighting for them
selves.
Here in our Negro district, the
housewives have power we should
cherish. We do the buying, there
fore, we control the market for
many products. We hold an unique
place in that as youth picket and
fight for jobs we can spend our
money wisely. We can investigate
to learn why merchants refuse to
hire our youth before we spend a
dime.

Beta Kappa. That has remained
to this day the leading honorary
college fraternity. Since 1874 when
the first Negro was elected there
has been a steady gain, until today
there are 155 Negro members.
Among these are Louis B. White of
the Iowa State University, Carlyle
Clark of Drake University. Among
the first Negroes admitted was s.
Joe Brown of the Iowa State Uni
versity, admitted in 1898. He was
the tenth student to be admitted
in the United States.
Since 1876, little more than 60
years, 1872 Negroes have received
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy,
Russell W. Brown of the State Col
lege at Ames, one of them. Ma
thaniel o. Galloway of the Iowa
State University is another.
One of the curious facts brought
out by the records of the World
War period is that more Negroes
relatively were accepted and sent
abroad than whites. The record
reads:
"The per cent of reflections of
those examined was greater for
white registrants than for Negro
registrants. Of those examined,
70.41 per cent of the whites and
74.6O per cent of the Negroes were
accepted. The number of Negroes
finally indicted into the service
was 367,710. The number accepted
for full military service was 342,-
277. Of the total registrants 1854
per cent of the whites and 31.74
per cent of the Negroes were ac-
cepted for full military service"
Of course fitness for war would
be more physical than mental, and
the same qualities that promise to
give Louis the world champion
ship as prize fighter are the ones
that gave his friends a front place
in our armies abroad. But there
has to be something more than
mere physical alertness in Louis
and there had to be something
more than that in the soldiers of
the World War.
The part of the Negro in music
has been made much of in these
later days when the Negro spiri-
tuals have been so widely recog-
nized. Here is curious item from
an Argentine report: "The sound
of the word Tango was heard in
La Plata from the sad days Of the
colony; it was the name the Afri-
can Negroes gave to their percus-
sion instruments" 1t is claimed
that the Tango was first played by
colored carnival clubs in the River
