Make Your Own
Opportunity
By Airline ID. Payia

The article that appeared under
this heading last week was intend
ed for several weeks ago, but I
hope it was not too late for some
one to take advantage of it this
year, and that it might give some
one an idea for planning next
year
I wish to emphasize the sugges-
ton offered this week because 1
believe it is workable. There seems
to me that there Is no good reason
why two ambitious young girls,
trained in stenography, could not
open up a public stenographic SER
vice right in our neighborhood.
The number of business concerns,
too small to hire a person just to
do letter writing, would find this
service convenient. The churches
also, have lots of work that they
might direct through this chan
mel. The hours could be divided
between the girls in order that
the office remain open at least ten
hours day until they are well on
their way.
To the stenographic service
could be added other things, for
instance a lending library. Peo-
pie in the neighborhood have to
travel many blocks to borrow a
book and should be grateful for
the convenience this library would
offer. Such combination ought to
make good, if the young people
adhere to the highest business
principles and keep a well organ
lied office. 1 have the utmost con-
fidence that the community will
help, and do everything they can
to encourage an ambitious boy or
girl trying to make a place for
themselves.
To begin, one need have only a
desk, typewriter, a few chairs,
filing cabinet and supplies. If the
young ladies are fortunate enough
to be able to put the profits back
into the business for the first few
months, a duplicating machine
could be added profitably. 1t
might be an added advantage if
the public stenographer was also
a Notary Public, though 1 have
found the actual profits from this
service are extremely meagre.
To get the supply of books ne
cessary to open the lending IL
brary, certain connections could
be made that ought to prove NUT
ually profitable. Anyone seriously
interesting in trying out this sug-
gestion, I might have at least. one
article of furniture which they
could use.

The Law of Wills

In the last article on the
Law of Wills, we discussed the
execution of wills, today we will
discuss the revocation of wills.
Rem. Comp. Stat. Sec. 1898 says
mo will in writing, except in cas-
es herein after mentioned, nor any
part thereof, shall be revoked ex-
cept by a subsequent will in writ
ing, or by burning, canoeing, tear
ing or obliterating the same, by
the testator or testatrix, or in his
or her presence, by his or her con-
sent or direction"
If after making a will, the tesla
tor shall marry, and the spouse
shall be living at the time of the
death of the testator, such will
shall be revoked, unless provision
shall have been made for such
survivor by marriage settlement,
or unless such summons be pro
vided for in the will or in such way
mentioned therein as to show an
intention not to make such provi-
sion.
A divorce subsequent to the
making of a will shall revoke the
will as to the divorced spouse.

Italian Club Shows Power I'm 20

Even on an off day a team can

when that team has to compete
with eleven players and a referee

by threeHawk backfield men less

Close Election Is
Chance for Negro

NEW YORK, Nov. ID - The
close margins in the November 8
election offers the Negro an OPP
portunity for effective work for
the race, said Walter White, N.
A.A.C.P. secretary, today. The
complete statement:
THE results of two weeks ago
Tuesdays election are of enormous
significance to the Negro. A mi
nority group has its best oppor-
tunity to fight effectively for what
it wants when the margin of vic
tory between political parties is
narrow. We are not able to make
ourselves heard as effectively
when any one party has an over
whelming majority.
