DtNlblAs
Dear Mr.. Martin:
We appreciate your editorial in
January issue of your paper rela-
tive to the Brewster stores.
Last summer quite a number OF
delegations called on US asking that
We give the Negro businessmen
preference in sllocating the Brew
ster stores. We assure these various
delegations that we would be very
happy TO cooperate. We have been
trying TO fill these stores since last
September and as Of February 10
there are just II leases covering
10 stores.
1t has been necessary for US to
notify Mr.. Isabel that unless-he can
secure enough colored Business
men 10 fiji the remaining eight
stores by the both of this month it
will be necessary for US 10 accept
applications from white business
men who are interested in securing
stores as obviously we cannot leave
these stores vacant with no income
indefinitely.
We believe that we have cooperat-
ed 100 per cent with the Negro bust
ness men ard have personally
talked with all of the delegations
and feel sure that there can be no
complaint as to the attitude of the
housing commission in this matter.
Very truly yours,
Detroit Housing Commission

the Sesas, and studied with the
third Duke of that house. Later he
assumed the name Latino as an in
dication of is achievements as
Latin student as well as to show
certain freedom in giving up the
name of his owner, Seas. His ro-
nance and marriage with Ana Car
lobal, member OF patrician fam
lily, are variously described but Mr..
Spratlin indicates that there is no
doubt that the basic facts are true.
Mr.. Spratlin has divided his book
into four parts. The second section
is a dscussio OF the friendship of
Juan Latino and Don Juan Of Aus
tria, brother OF Philip, the king. and
hero OF Latino's outstanding work,
The Austriad The third part of the
book is devoted to description OF La
tino's Outstanding writings, the Aut-
triad and Translantione
The last section is a translation Of
La Famosa Comedia de Juan Latino
by Diego Jimenez de Enciso. To me
it is the most interesting part of the
book, Although the work Of a sec
ondary dramatist OF the 18th CEN
fury it throws much light on the
place Latino occupied among his
contemporaries.
Juan Latino" can not be recon-
mended to the casual student, but
the student of literature or the
Negrophile will find much to inter-
est and surprise him in this study
Of slave who as Mr.. Spratlin
points out is comparable 10 Phyllis
Wheatley in the United States. The
book is the result of careful re-
search on the part Of its author and
brings to life a character in Spanish
literature who, although a secon-
Diary writer, was well known and
popular in his day.

WE ARE ADVANCING

We have made great strides In
the spreading OF historical informa-
ton pertaining to the Negro dur
ing the past rs years. In spite OF
many obstacles and widespread In
difference we have succeeded in
diffusing much knowledge concern
ing the historic past OF the race.
Many OF our schools and colleges
maintain courses in Negro history.
Several very fine libraries have
been established. The largest Of
these are Howard in Washington,
D. C., Fisk university in Nashville
and the Harlem branch OF the New
York public library.
Much, however. remains 10 be
done in this direction. There is yet
too much ignorance in the race re-
garding its history There are all
too many Of our young people with
college diplomas and degrees who
know nothing about their own pco-
pie. | think 1t quite fair TO say that
person who has not studied what
ever history and literature his own
race has produced is ignorant. With
such wealth of Information none
can excuse themselves for lack of
a source from which to obtain this
information.

raigned in the court of Peace
Justice Enrique Esquinaldo, Jr.,
to answer to the charges.
They claimed to have no know
ledge of the incident, in fact, they
said they were so intoxicated
they knew nothing of what they
had done until they found them
selves riding in a vehicle with
someone, but knew nothing about
anything that had happened up
to that time. AA
McGarra Gave Information
However, it happened that E. B.
McGarra, driver of the vehicle in
which they were riding and who
was instrumental in effectipg
their arrest, knew something of
the case and told his story to the
justice.
j. N. Wheeler, who was a part
ner of Mickleberry in the opera
ton of the parking lot from which
the car had been stolen but had
ended his connection several days
ago, was anothr witness for the
prosecution.

Fulmer, it was shown, after the
