Police Given
Course in
Speaking

DENVER, April 12.-Policemen
who prowl dark alleys in search
of a maniac with a gun and save
the lives of drowning women as a
matter of course, are subject to
stage fright" when called upon
to talk before even a small group.
The steel nerves seem to go to
pieces when a cop gets on his feet
before crowd, police officials
have learned.
In an effort to overcome this
fear, and to give officers poise and
tact, the Denver police department
has started a class in public speak
ing for members of the force. Thus
far, three captains. IA sergeants,
35 patrolmen and one detective
have enrolled in the weekly
classes.
An ever-increasing demand for
members of the department as
speakers before clubs, conventions
and other meetings will be met
through officers trained in the
course, L. Ernest Thorp, civilian
instructor, said.
Before the class was started,
three or four members of the
force met all the demands for
speakers. Now nearly so members
are registered with a takers
bureau.

WOMAN SOUGHT.
IN MUTILAT|ON.
Staying CASE.
Vengeance Held Motive
In Teachers Death

MARION, H., April IL QNS0
An unnamed woman was hunted
today as a key figure in the mutt
lation murder of Arno Bratten, SO,
former high school principal here.
Sheriff Zollie Carter declared
the woman is known, and her ar
rest, as well as two or three others
involved, is expected soon.
REVENGE MOTIVE
With the revelation yesterday
that Bratten had been emaScu-
lated before he was thrown into
a creek to die, authorities declared
they were certain revenge had
been the motive for the killing
rather than robbery as supposed
at first.
His throat cut and showing evil
dences Of a terrific beating, Brat
tens body was found last WedneS-
day. A woman's diamond ring,
which none Of his family recog-
nized, was on his finger.
He disappeared on st. Valen-
tines Day after telling friends he
intended to 60 to a political meet
ing.
The sheriff said:
I'VE have established that
Bratten was waylaid in his auto
mobile about two blocks from
his home. At least two and per-
haps three men got into the
automobile with him.
DRAGGED INTO CAR
Apparently he was dragged
Into the back seat Of the car
where the operation was per-
formed. They drove him, judg-
ing from the gasoline left in the
tank, about $50 miles, before
Sitting his throat and tossing
him into the creek"
The case, in some respects, re-
sembled the mutilation operation
performed on DR.. Walter ]. Bauer
by Vaudeville Zenge, a Missouri
youth, on Chicago'S South Side,
three years ago.

waiting for you when you arise
in the morning.
Take care of cooking dinner
while your wife goes to the
theater.
Turn on your radio in time fol

Our Manufactures

In thinking Of Negro business, how
many OF US stop to think of the gal
liant part our manufactures are play
ing in this period Of the recession.
Take those who produce cosmetics.
The Government has placed numel-
Gus new taxes on this business, since
Il IS classed as luxury, and comIe-
tition from the white group for Me-
gro trade in this field, which is heav--
ily financed by ample capital, is un-
usually fierce; but our makers Of
Poro, Nine. Waller, Murray's. Apex,
High Brown, Nu-Nile and other
products are holding their place,
and by the same token, holding up
the reputation of the race for b ing
able to survive a difficult period.
Merchandising is the key to sue
cess in the cosmetic line, and it may
be written down to the cred Of our
executives in this field that they have
mastered the principles and the art
Of merchandising. White manufaet-
urers have tried and are still trying
desperately hard to take away the
business that has mode some of the
biggest names In Negro business, but
the genius that built these businesses
is still carrying them on. We salute
this section Of Negro business, and
commend 1t for its ability to hold out
and hold on.
Divine Expands
Father Divine has bought "Krum
Elbow" on the Hudson, opposite the
estate Of President Roosevelt. which
bears the same name. Divine Is still
a mystery to most people, and we
confess he is mystery to us. But IN
spite of the mystery surrounding the
man and his movement, Divine IS a
Negro, and he IL doing big things, SO
there is every reason for Negroes to
be proud Of him. Of course Divine
does not place any emphasis on Race
he has white followers as well as col
ored. But that is still a greater rfa-
son why we should be proud of nm
Divine has overcome color,
that weights most of Us aos9n. Divine
has proved that there are still some
new things possible IN the Negro

group; and he has also demonstrated
that the Negro may not necessarily
be limited to his own group.
Eiks Aid Education
According to a report from the
office Of the Commissioner Of Educa--
tion of the Elks, that organization
has contributed more than $500, 900
to that department since it begon
operation thirteen years ago. Under
It's frog ala, an annual education
week among members of the order is
observed, and an annual Education
and Economies Congress has been
projected during the past four yea
The Department Of Education, TN
der the direction Of foimer Judge
w. G. Hueston, is divided into six
districts, each headed by q regional
director. Local, state and enional
oratorical contests are held on tie
subject of the Constitution Of the
United States, and winners of tie
regional contests are broug' to the
annual meeting Of the Grand Lodge,
this year in Baltimore, August FL
27. for the national finals.
We are pleased to commend this
phase Of the Elks' work, and snggest
that other organizations study this
program for pointers on how ex-
penaitures on racial Improvement
may be made in the most effective
way.
4Time" Regrets
1t is encouraging to see that the
flippant "Time' has paused long
enough to seriously consider The in
sulting caution recently carried over
story or the Joe Louis horse show,
ana has expressed regret for carry
ing the caption. .'Time' has com
mitted SO many offenses against The

and failures because they deal
with white merchants, attend
the white mans college, live
in the white mans home and
read the white mans news
papers.
White men lave little call
or cause to deal with Negro
merchants Ior even visit Ne
gro homes; few if any, attend
Negro colleges and only on
special occasions do they read
Negro newspapers. Through
their own newspapers, white
men read almost exclusively
about the type of Negro who
rapes, kills, or steals. And To-
mented within them are inn
ages of that type of Negro,
and they see no other. Their
personal employees are the
only possible exceptions. Even
then, many employers harbor
a secret fear that John ana
Sally are only playing a
part, and will revert to type
with the least provocation.
The fault then for the inter
nal separation and misunder-
standing which has much 60
do with weakening our entire
social and economic structure
can not be laid to any one
person or any one group of
people, and can only be rem
edied Through CONCERTED acT
ton.
Basing our presumption on
an observers knowlegde OF
the American white mans
penchant for the comforts OF
life and good living, and on
our intimate and personal
knowledge Of the ability and
the desires of the American
Negroes, We believe that the
time for the remedy is now
The burden of proof rests on
the Negro. but we feel that
the white man will do his part
when he is brought to appre
ciate HOW NEGROES LIVE
