ings, the apartments carry speeiah
plugs to alta ch your telephone
The management office states that
it wishes to cooperate with all in hsFt
ing clear understanding, but desires
the public to realize that those apart,
ments were built for homes, and re-
gardless of the various tales of re!
striction, the government does not de!
sire to restrict the use of light, heat,
or other facilities, nor does it desire to
curtail the legitimate pleasure of any
tenants. rg
Among the features of the homes
are the rooms designated for social af-
fairs, which may be had on application.
Investigators have been functioning
for the past few days and are making
from thirty to forty calls per day.
While apparently large number of
applicants are being rejected by letter,
seven hundred have been submitted to
further Investigation.
One of the principal reasons for re-
jections among our group has been
that number of applicants are max
ing too much money, or live in homes
far above the level of those for whom
the homes were intended.
Pullman porters and other railroad
employees will have some difficulty,
as well as those persons where there is
joint employment of husband and wife,
as the total income of the family is
considered. A large number of ap-
plications will be rejected because
comparatively few of our steadily en-
ployed live in substandard homes.

DOES SOME NEGRO
BUSINESS AID
DISCRIMINATION

He who makes nocturnal trips abou
the city and grows hungry will de
wellsto shove that much touted virtue
called race patriotism aside; that Is
unless he gets his thrills by way O.
embarrassment. If you happen to wan
der into a colored place of refresh
ment off the beaten path, comparison
will prove the lusty insult given b,
Mike, the Greek, is mild in compared
to thefsubtles torture you must under.
go if you enter certain Afric En-
poriums.
The keenness of the barb, the depth
of the thrust depends largely on the
number of white folk who happen to
has made these wide sweeping end
runs for forty and fifty yard gains. r
Not all the hopes of Negro fans are
based upon Holland. For the first time
in history Negro player has appeared
on the Pacific Coast and received the
publicity he deserves. Kenny Wash
ington, half-back of the U.C.L.A. is the
haunting fear of every coach in the
conference. Only a junior, Kenny the
Kingfish" is the toast of the Campus
at Beverly Hills.
Last year, his first in intercollegiate
football, Kenny completed the longest
forward pass, II years, in the confer
ence. Kenny heaves these passes on
the dead run, sometimes fading back
thirty yards before he lets the ball GO
on. His playing so impressed the op-
posing Southern Methodist team that
the Texas boys unanimously voted him
the best opposing back they had faced
all season. This year, inquiries con-
corning his playing should be directed
to Iowa, Idaho, Washington, and Stan
ford. They can tell you all about him.
Horace Bell, Minnesota guard, for
three years has toiled increasingly in
the Gopher line with praise from press
and public. He kicked ten points after
touchdowns last year and bids fair to
top that mark in this, his last season.
A brother of the famous Ohio State
tackle of some years back, Bell went
to Minnesota to avoid the totten Jim
crow to which his brother was SUBJ
jected when Ohio State journeyed to
4 20 ,>I.x, No,r,,
Strangely enough, it was another
Negro player, Bernard Jefferson,
Northwestern halfback, who emerged
the hero of the memorable game with
Minnesota. In the closing moments
of the game, Jefferson smashed his way
through the Gopher line for ten yards
and carried three tacklers across the
goal line to score the winning touch
down.
Last year Jefferson played with a
jinx riding on his shoulders. In the

toss, from center caused him to- to delay

Ness Line

Now that the campaign is over, the
congratulations silenced, the crying
towels folded and put away, we believe
that it would be fair to make an ap-
praisal of the gains and losses to our
group.
One particular feature that was
silenced, apparently to keep out a
campaign of fear, was the fact that
five chapters of the silver shirts have
been organized in the twin cities dur
ing the last three months. Primarily
supposed to throw few obstacles in
the path of Jewish folk, escape for us
would have been impossible. Among
all such previous organizations, after
they have Saved" America to their
satisfaction, they must have new vic
Tins, and we are always elected. 1t
Is doubtful if any elected executive
who has definitely incurred their i'll
will could wholly curtail their activities.
Say what you will, big business is
the only power that can disband them,
for an attempt to police any area with
enough effectiveness to make an i'm
preston would be impossible.
This group of child minded patriots
have just enough cleverness to escape
anything but the appeal of their bellies.
In this Negroes have gained decidedly,
for already we see the loosening of the
purse strings of business, and a cur
tailment of activities will naturally fol-
low. -,
AS far as political recognition is con-
cerned, Negroes in this state have
never had it, and foolish indeed, would
be the man who would attempt pro-
phecy.
There are. those who believe that
mediocre jobs are political recogni-
ton, but we can't see it that way.
IL dllSl olAlSCi yCdlS vi lOll dIlu SdC-
rifice to prepare a person for big re-
sponsibilities, that person gets only a
job commensurate with that of the
average mechanic, we take the recog-
milton stuff with a grain of salt.
The way we see it. a good man was
beaten by good man, man who ap-
parently has the courage of his con-
victions. az
AS group we have lost little in
deed, the few individuals who may be
displaced, will probably be replaced by
other individuals of like caliber. This
economic gain will be standoff. Well
and good. ..-
A few years in public service is an
excellent experience for anyone. We
have gained as a group as far as
safety is concerned, no doubt when the
powers that be, look at the relief
figures there will be loosening I'D of
jobs. Looking at it from a national
angle we have only one comment,
