Maybe she won't be so bad;
she" the audaciouS puncher
who ventured this soothing proph-
ecy. collapsed under the stream OF
profanity Glen blasted in his oil
rection. :,
Not so bad!" Glen eventually
became coherent. She couldn't be
worse. She's a city bred dude, on
her way back from corralling al
divorce in Reno. She's 80 to hlsl
so: young enough to keep hlmI

Jim won't be worth a tinker'SI

Clem spat with vigor and accuracy
at the spitoon and pulled a letter
out of his pocket. !

this kind of stuff to me proves
he's loco. Linda wants to see the
ranch, before she makes me the
happiest man in the world. I'm
counting on you and the boys to-
prove to her that the Flying Six

She can't make up her mind about

elowered at him. "a great bunch

do all the thinkin', as usual. what
I want to know is, are you backln

Sure we're backin' it," Whitley
Snyder, the puncher longest with
the outfit after Glen, acted as
spokesman. 1--WE amt hankerln'
after any changes. I reckon the
line to take is t. be ornery as hell
and get it across, she amt unanl-
mously elected to this outfit by a

It'll take more brains than

vigorously rammed in tobacco.
Jim would see through that.
We've got to be foxy enough TO
keep him from gettin' on to us.
What you amin to do?"
I'm amin to prove to this here
Linda that the Flying Six is the
lousiest place in all Montana.
Now, here's my notion" With
mounting enthusiasm for his own
cleverness, Glen outlined his
scheme to his fellow conspirators.
MUSTN'T MIND THE BOYS
"There they are! Glen and the
whole outfit rounded up to meet
you" There was trace of un-
easiness under Jim fuckers hearty
tone.
He turned an apprehensive look
at his companion as he drove the
flivver through the gate. "You
mustn't mind if they're a mite
rough. They're apt to be kind OF
shy"
Linda put a white hand for a
caressing moment on his sleeve.
Like you, jim" she said softly,
her blue eyes shining up at him,
''If they are all as real as you are,
I'm not afraid of them"
She gave a cry of pleasure as
they topped the hill and the full
sweep of the prairie with the noun
tains beyond curved into view.
"Oh, it is lovely, jim! Only"

lonely"
Before Jim could expostulate
they were at the ranch house steps,
and the outfit were doing their
manners in a highly creditable
fashion.

Henderson Reddick, Pastor
(By L. c. Copes)

Sunday, the first day of the New
Year 1889, marks our first quarterly
meeting of the year and gives all an
opportunity to make our new year the
best ever by attending one or more of
the worship periods to be presented.
incidentally, we shall be able to use
as a guide for the coming year the
timely remarks that will be forthcom-
ing from the two sermons to be de-
livered by our presiding elder, Rev.
Stovall and the communion service
which will feature Rev. London and
his choir. If we must rest, let's set
aside Monday for our physical rest
period and Sunday for our spiritual
period of rest.

holders who were moved out of the
area now occupied by the homes.
For the past two weeks, one em,
ployee of the housing authority office
has been detailed to check all available
records in an effort to find these form
er tenants in order that they may be
invited to their new apartments.
There is still complaint over the
small number of applicants ranging
from $50 to l400 dollars yearly income
The storm still RACES around the
Problem of Negro jobholders in the
area, although there were no eligibles
on the civil service lists at the time ap-
pointments were made.
The latest move on the part of vol
untary committee of jobmakers is to
try to formulate some plan where con-
gressional action might be taken to
waive civil service, regardless of con-
sequences to the thousands now en-
ployed.
Recently rebuked by Nathan Straus
in his reply to a letter sent by the
Citizens Voluntary Committee on
Housing, requesting a change in the
housing job setup, has probably re-
suited in the new determination to
secure congressional action on the part
of that portion of the committee who
sent the famous forty acre and a
mule" letter to President Roosevelt
sometime ago.
Meanwhile Frank Pearce, manager,
states that the number Of honest" ap-
pllcations from Negroes was way be-
low those anticipated, and appeals for
applications from the old residents of
the area as we'll as other small wage
earners interested in securing decent
homes.

T. ARNOLD HILL SENT
TO DEPT. OF LABOR'S
WAGE-HOUR DIVISION

Washington, D. C.-An office will
be created in the Wage and Hour Di-
vision of the Department of Labor to
protect the rights of Negro workers
under the new Wage-Hour Law, it
became known this week.
T. Arnold Hill, director of the Ma
tional Urban League of the Department
of Industrial Relations and recently ap-
pointed WPA Consultant on Negro
Affairs, has been loaned to the Depart
ment of Labor on a part-time basis
by the WPA for the purpose of sett-
ing up the office and getting its work
under way. Mr. Hill will receive no
salary from the Labor Department for
this work, his assignment being in line
with the WPA's policy of assisting
other divisions of the government
wherever possible.
The presence of Mr.. Hill in the
Wage and Hour Division was request
ed by Administrator Elmer F. An
drews, who is reported to be anxious
to see that Negro workers receive all
possible benefits from the new law. He
will not be permanent employee, ac-
cording to present plans, and will con-
tinue his work with the Urban League
and the WPA while definite program
for the Wage-H our Administration is
being formulated.
]. Arthur Weisegc~, assistant to
Lieut.. Lawrence A. Oxley has been as
signed to work with Mr.. Hill in sett-
ing up the new office.

Phyllis Wheatley Head
Leaves Minneapolis

Mrs. Louise Orwell, Head Resident
OF Phylliss Wheatley House, whose
resignation takes effect the first of the
year, expects to spend New Years
Day with her family in their home at
Verona, New Jersey.
Mr.. Orwell holds a position of Of
flee manager, Department of Public
Welfare, in New York City. Mrs.
Orwell left Friday.
While a successor to Mrs. Orwell
has not yet been named, three highly
eligible applicants are under considera-
ton, and the one best suited to the
needs of Phylliss Wheatly will be
selected.
All are out of town persons, and all
are colored, according to those in
authority to speak.
AS we go to press, no temporary
head resident has been named to serve
until permanent appointment is made.
Board members feel that there is no
particular urgency for such appoint
ment as the staff on duty at the house
is so highly and efficiently organized,
that personnel guidance is not particu-
larly necessary.
There is possibility of a temporary
head being named in event enough
problems arise that require special ad-
ministration.
1t is felt, however, that the success
sor to Mrs. Orwell may be named at
an early date, eliminating this necessity
of any temporary appointment
Rumors that Phylliss Wheatley may
pass into the hands of other groups
than Negroes are regarded as fantas-
tic as the House is incorporated and
registered as being specially designed
to serve the needs of Negroes of Min
neapolis.

Ness Line

America has made a contribution to
the long list of New Year Habits of
Nations" in welcoming the new year,
by dancing the old man out and the
young man in.
We have nothing on the Chinese,
though, who celebrate their New Year
anywhere from January to February
E, depending on the SUN, and who COM
bine our thanksgiving, Christmas, and
New Years celebration all in one, with
the consequent total of joy and mad
ness.
For weeks preceding the festivities
women are busy making clothes and
masks, ETC., for the big celebration, and
unhappy indeed is he who has made
no august preparation. The poorest
find some new article to wear, and in
cense, and candles for the gods.
The last day of the year is strenuous
for creditors and men are about all
night with lanterns, even carrying them
after daybreak, as no bills can be
collected after the new year comes in,
and many creditor has committed
suicide because of poor collections.
This is sometimes done on the door
step of debtor, so the spirit of the
creditor may haunt and harrass the
family.
The pet pastirne in Japan on New
Years Day is kite flying, and what
kites! America may think her kites
scientific, but the Japanese go in for
size and color. Gorgeous things some
times as big at two doors, requiring
several men to raise, and equipped
with little contrivances that make the
kite sing. Designed to represent birds
with outspread wings, flowers, butter
flies, ogres, and oftimes a national
hero. They make sound similar to
an Aeolian Harp.
The peasant of Wales believes that
something new must be worn New
Years Day to ward off misfortune.
In Uncle Sans family, at least four
different days are observed as New
Years. Other than January lst, there
is, of course, the Jewish which fall in
the autumnal season, the Mohamme-
dan, which falls sometime around the
last of January, and which is, in num-
Der, some six hundred years less than
our reckoning, and the Greek Catholic
which is wholeheartedly celebrated in
some parts of Alaska, as we'll as Amer
ica. This religion, having been ex-
pounded by Missionaries from Russia,
long before America took possession,
the custom remains of celebrating jan
uary 18th.
In southern Europe it is considered
good luck to see pig on New Years
Day, but personally we admire the old
Scotch custom of a bumper of "hot
pint" at midnight to ward off bad luck
and insure good.

ENEMIES WITHIN

There has been a disposition in some
before the Dies committee investigating
un-American activities, and while some of
the testimony before that committee has
been inconsequential, there can no longer
be any doubt that subversive elements at
work in this country are a real menace.
Because of the great tolerance of the
American people, it is easy for enemies of
our demoeratic institutions to form organ
izaNons and Dairy on their unpatriotic. &C
tivities. Communist, Fascist and Nazi So
cieties boldly spread their Propaganda un-
der the direction of foreign governments.
These alien-minded agitators also are
gaining an increasing influence in what
are supposed to be legitimate organiza-
tons, and Chairman Dies states that his
committee has evidence that some govern
ment officials are identified with groups
which he describes as Communistic.
Witnesses have testified that Com
munists WELD considerable influence in
certain c. |. o. unions. and that they were
responsible for the sit-down strikes in the
automobile ard other industries. The
American Federation of Labor, however,
is consistent foe of Communism.
Means should be found to curb the
activities of the nations enemies within
our own borders. and all loyal American
citizens should unite in demanding that
this be done.

S. OOO 600, 900 National De Tense Program Helps I'M
Employed Brtain-Germ an Trade Competition,
Cause of World War, Cropping Out Again

The announcement of the Adj
ministratiCn's great rearmament
program has finally given cred
ence to rumors. that have been
making the rounds for A4nany
weeks. At the same time, it has
given considerable flip to
basic industry Is -fa'
In the words Of an Associated
Press dispatch, ''The broad plans
now being worked out insa con-
ferences between business execu-
tives and government officials. T..
were designed to become the DOM
mating factor in the recovery
picture.
Complete information on the
pending program is not yet avail
able, and probably will not be for
some time to- come. But, accord
ing to forecasts, it will cause the
spending of at least $1,000, 000,O 900
in the next fifteen months. The
President contemplates adding
81, 000,000.000 to the next budget
to take care of part of it. The
balance will consist of private
spending, plus some nonbudgeted
federal loans to industry.
1t is stated that the rearma-
ment program will cover every
phase of our national defense.
Material additions will be made
to the navy. The peace-time
strength of the army will also be
increased. Coast defenses which
are now largely obsolete will be
revamped with modern weapons
and devices. And, if the generals
and admirals have their way, we
will proceed to build the worlds
greatest air force. The military
staffS believe that our best de-
Tense against aggression is the
creation of military machine
second to none in the world And
that, for country as large as this,
with borders on the two great
oceans, means navy of unpre-
cedented size, speed and power,
buttressed by thousands of fight
ing airplares which will be con-
stantly replaced as they become
obsolete-and the life of such a
plane is very short indeed.
So much for the defense phase
of the program. From the eco-
nomic standpoint, it implies an
almost revolutionary change in
the Administrators general re-
covery plan. In the past, the
government has placed principal
emphasis en- aiding, in various
ways, the consumers goods in
dustries. The heavy goods in
dustries, partly as a consequence
of this, have been the slowest to
respond to favorable trends-and
