It Doesn't
Make Sense

Spending your money with con-
Germs who do not appreciate your
patronage just doesn't make sense.
There are two ways for a mer-
chant to express to you in unmis-
taxable terms that he WANTS and
APPRECIATES your pennie s;
nickels, dimes and dollars.
One of those sure signs is the
presence of colored employees in the
establishment The other is the
presence of advertising from the
concern in the Negro community

you heard about that very popular
boy about town who is preparing
to dash to the altar in the early
winter month. Well anyway, in
the month of June he had quite a
bit of extra money on hand and de-
cided that that was the time for
him to purchase his wedding suit.
The suit was put away carefully
and was to be worn on the fatal
day in our herO's life. Now that
it's nearing the day our hero
thought that he had better take
look at the suit. Upon looking at
it he found the most dreadful ca
tastrOphe had occurred. In the
first place our hero had gained fif-
teen pounds and the suit made him
look like stuffed toad and also
the moths had nibbled few holes
throughout the suit. Our hero is
lOOkin quite dOwncast these days
and says that now he's going to
marry in his old knOck-abOut suit,
and if his bride to be doesn't like
it she can take him or leave him.

Congressman Arthur w. Mitchell
came to st. Paul last week as guest
speaker for the Urban Leagues
annual meeting. He spoke with
brutal frankness of conditions that
could not escape even the casual
attention of visitor. All that he
said did not set well on the
stomaches of either the white or
eolored persons who heard him.
Yet he compelled almost unani-
nous admiration for the courage
of his utterances spoken without
regard for any unfavorable reac-
lions his denunciation might bring.
Especially severe was the con-
gresham upon the frailities of his
own people whom he declared were
not taking full advantage of APP
portunities lying at hand.
This writer who many times has
written of the same thing and in
language equally clear and even
more specific wondered if the
words of the visitor would be any
more effective in awakening re-
alstic action.

It's quite hard these times to find
out just what the young people are
doing. Most of them have their
heads buried so deep in books or
their work that if you do say any
thing to them they will look vague
and preOccupied and probably be-
gin talking about Henry taking his
eighth wife or anything else in the
history line or whatnOt. They tell
me LOUIS MOORE of st. Paul is
so deep in books these days that
he's walking round mumbling the
formula of how to cure dying
COW. (YOu know Louis is studying
to be an agricultural technician.)
:. This weather is SO perfectly
gorgeous that most people are TAX
ing to the open. Sunday there were
quite a number of picnics round
the various lakes and up the river.
Sal only knows about the one she
was on and judging from the
amount of food that disappeared
it was quite a success.
Doings about town. ASHMORE
STOKES, ELIZABETH WALKER,
WALTER COINS and MARY
LEWIS all motored up to Duluth
last Sunday for the afternoon.
Most of the Minneapolis folks were
seen during the weekend at one of
the down town theatres where that
rhythm rascal BENNY GOODMAN
and his orchestra were playing in
person. And talk about jitterbugs
it seemed as if everyone in the
audience had gone jazz mad. A
number of folks of the other group
got up and began trucking up and
down the aisles (also a couple of
boys of our group got up on the
stage, yes, the stage where Benny
Goodman was and began dancing.)
These carryings-on didn't cease I'M
til the manager told them to stop.
TEDDY WILSON, the pianist, and
LIONEL HAMPTON, the drummer
and xylophonist, are really one of
the biggest features in Goodman's
band. That drummer has rhythm
personified. Little MARTHA TIL
TON with her "A Tisket A Tasket'
brought roars of applause from
the audience. From the crowds
present it seemed all groups en-
joyed the show. :. . LORENA

Well; the candidates for the COM

speaking of ducks, how many have

coming back to the subject of cleo
