gro churches of Minneapolis and

CARNATIONS say into a cooperative
enterprise of some kind, be it a
store or an oil station, so as to
make enough to take care Of all
the expenses incurred by the
church. Since many small bust
nesses are now in monopoistic
combines, churches Of tomorrow
must have a local centralized work
ing organization just as other bust
nesses have.
After an effective organization is
set up, then they must set about to
improve the physical environment.
Church building should be well in
sulated so the proper temperature
could be assured the year round,
should be steam heated instead of
having smoky stoves, cushioned
seats just as seats in theaters, and
should be equipped with motion
picture machines so that religious
pictures could be shown.
There must be a complete revo-
luton in the philosophy, organize

future churches if they hope to sur
vive in a competitive world.

fore the Communist Party existed.

Sweet of Detroit, the Federal anti
lynching bill, and the campaign for
educational equality indicates that
they are not novices. They fought
on the barricades in East st. Louis,
Chicago, Springfield, Washington,
D. c., Longview, and Tulsa. The
speeches and writings of post Civil
War Negro labor leaders indicate
that they were then as familiar
with the class struggle as are COM
munists.
Even the slim claim that COM
munist agitation has increased the
Negroes militancy is untenable.
This would discount the influence
of the 200 Negro newspapers and
magazines with their 100000
weekly circulation, the virtual dis
appearance of illiteracy, and the
NAACP, with it's 400 branches
functioning since 1909. Being a
canny fellow, the Negro is militant
when there is hope of success.
Otherwise he bides his time. There
may come day when he will go
Red, but that will never happen un-
til he first sees white Americans
waving the Red flag and learns
that Marxism is, at last, really
popular. Right now it's enough
trouble being black without going

There
By w. M. Smith

The Minneapolis Urban Leagues
Auxiliary paid visit last week to
the Zinsmaster Bakery Co.'s plant
at Park and Twenty-ninth in Min
neapolis.
The bakery is a beautifully mod
ern place, first-class office space,
work rooms as clean and comfort
able as work rooms can be and the
product which it turns out is as fine
and clean and as desirable as the
most fastidious person could ask
for.
In fact, this modern bakery has
everything the auxiliary could ask
save some colored workers, and in
cidentally the ladies of the auxil-
larry wanted to find out, among 9TH
er things, why this very desirable
business place has no colored en-
ployes.
Certainly the colored people of
this area eat plenty of the fine
product of this desirable bake shop
and our women were anxious to
discover what our people lack in
appreciation of its product, or of
the necessary skill in producing it
that would justify their being on
the outside looking in.
They found, of course, absolute
ly nothing to justify such a candi-
ton. Do we buy and eat bread,
rolls and cakes? We certainly do.
Can we make them as we saw dem
onstrated that day? We most GER
tainly can.
There is nothing then to keep
colored workers out of these very
desirable work rooms save the fact
that we are not included in the
work force employed there now
and won't be until we can convince
the management there is no good
reason why we should not be and
many reasons why we should be.
It's challenge you may be sure
our women are going to accept.

ban League board, and some 20 or
more members of the auxiliary
were ready when the signal to start
was given. Many Of the ladies car
ried writing pads to take note of
their observation. Mr.. A. j. Peter
son of the bakery force led the
group of sightseers and gave pains
taking explanations of the things
shown.
One of the surprising things we
first noted was the comparatively
small number of the working force.
We found later that men who drive
the wagons, clerks who do the of
fee work, the men and women who
do the actual bakery work number
all together less than $50 people,
a surprising thing indeed when one
considers the amount of the prod
uct turned out, a tribute to the
modern method of doing things.
We began and followed through
the process of making bread and
rolls.
Great troughs of dough are made
up ready to be turned into loaves
and rolls, much like the housewife
does, only the time it takes is so
much shorter. From this depart
ment we went to the next follow
ing the dough as it was made up
into rolls and loaves of bread. 1t
was at this point that our attention
was first attracted to the simple
ness yet the real effectiveness of
the machinery in use. The work
ers had little to do other than to
see that the dough was placed in
the proper division after which the
machinery did the rest, cutting the
dough into proper sizes. 1t was
then placed into the proper pans
ready for baking, then put into the
oven.
Here began the great and visible
difference between the housewives
baking and the bakeries.
The raw dough was placed in one
end of the long oven and mechani-
caliy passed through its great
length, dropping out the other end
of the oven a completely-baked
loaf of bread or pan of rolls. This
we thought the most surprising
thing in the whole process. The
raw dough placed in the oven in
one end, coming out the other end
a beautifully Drowned, full sized
loaf of bread. It was simply mar
velous!
Then we saw the bread and rolls,

TOMORROW's CHURCHES

Editor: If churches in 1916 ex-
pect to have a reasonable attend
ance, changes must be made in
their organization, philosophy, and
physical environment.
Many of the ministers of today
to whom I talk tell me that one of
their greatest worries is that, of
attendance. Others say that the
church must engage itself into
many commercial activities, such
as ticket selling for social func-
lions, chicken fries and other
things which are not always con-
ducive to good church conduct.
Many other ministers are so busy
begging to keep up the expenses,
such as buying coal and paying
himself low wage, attending the
sick, burying the dead, and marry
ing folks that little or no time is
left for him to study and plan a
real spiritual program for the
church. The future churches must
change their philosophy as to what
the duty of minister is. If he is
to be of better service, then he
must have more time of his own.
Begging to defray the expenses is
probably one of the most embar-
RAISING experiences the ministers
have.

TO Be GIVEN AT
POCOMOKE HIGH

"The statement you can stop her on
dime is frequently heard in connec-
ton with the modern automobile, but
few folks know just how large the
dime has to be-" says Harry M. Pom
tious, Farm Bureau Safety Director,
who will conduct driving demon
stration at Pocomoke City, Nd, on
May % at 200 p. M, under the aus
pices of the Senior class of Pocomoke
High School.
AS a part of the Highway Safety
program conducted by the Farm Bu-
reau, Mr.. Pontious has constructed a
device for accurately measuring "the
dime" on which a car can be stopped
at various speeds.
This device, which will be used in
the demonstration May %, consists of
two thirty-eight revolvers loaded with
yellow bullets mounted in a frame
fastened on the front bumper of the
car.
One gun is fired by a rope running
up alongside the car, being pulled by
the passenger. This is the signal to
stop and the place where it was Civ
en- is marked by the yellow marker
bullet on the pavement. At the time
this first gun is fired red flag is
released and appears above the radia-
tor, so that the driver has a visual as
we'll as an audible signal to stop.
The other gun is connected with the
brake pedal and is fired when the
brake is applied and makes a mark on
the pavement where the brake is ap-
piled. The distance between these
two marks is the reaction distance
which is the distance travelled while
the driver reacts to the signal and
