Your House And
Garden Beautiful
Doris M. Jones
RAILWAYS

We fall under the spell of the
interior as we step over the TIRES
hold Of the home and unconsciously
we form an impression of the good
or bad taste of the owner. The
hallway gives the first impression
of the spirit of the household
and the personality of its occu-
pants, and the choice of suitable
furniture for 1t is the test of cor
rect discrimination.
The average hall needs but little
furniture. The only real essentials
are a small table, a chair and a
mirror, but from this scanty be-
ginning, the furnishings may grow
according to its size and character.
BY the use of mirrors, paper and
furniture, marvels can be worked
in the regeneration of small, dark
entries. A rectangular mirror is
effective for it enlarges the size
Of the hall more than does the
oval type, although the latter Is
generally more decorative. The ap-
parent size of the hall Is greatly
increased by setting adjoining mir
rors in the two corners opposite the
entrance. Soft light always adds to
the setting.
The pitch black interior Of the
hallway in many city apartments
repels the visitor, but by the use
of artificial illumination, the gloom
may be dispelled. Proper dispo-
sition of a table, lamp and mir
ror will work wonders for this
type of hall, and a bright bowl
or vase of flowers, cheerful lamp
shade and table cover, will in
vest 1t with an air of real hos
pitality.

The following article was TAX
en- from the Helena Independent,
August "a, 1894:
NEGRO IN DEPRESSION"
mo class of American citizen
has better demonstrated ability to
adopt itself to conditions than the
Negro. In the cities and towns
of the East and North relatively
fewer Negroes have been compell-
ed to seek charity than any other
race. Foreign born whites have
suffered more, perhaps, even than
native born whites. The readjust-
ment in the cotton industry, with
its attendant complications in the
tenant situation, has created some
thing of social problem In the
South where Negroes have been
hit harder than any other class.
But, always on the ragged edge,
the Southern Negroes have accept
ed conditions calmly. There is lit
tie or no unrest among them. And
the government Is moving now to
effect the permanent economic re-
Mobilization of these unfortunates.
Government plans. if carried out,
will lead to marked improvement
in the economic status of southern
tenant farmers, probably better
conditions than they ever have
known. That would be a great
blessing. On the whole the Negro
has displayed marked ability to
look out for himself during the de-
preston. He has accepted the sit
uation unquestioningly. He has
presented no new social problems.
He has been good citizen
throughout, and he deserves some
thing better-much better-in the
happier era now unfolding" =

E DIT o RIAL
OBLIGATIONS


There is question in the minds of many of readers
concerning condition which exists in community
life To this question of vital Importance and should
be called to the attention of everyone This question deals
with the failure in ffment of obligations the part of
stration
Within the past few days there have been series of
petty robberes and burgares the East Madison district
that bespeak the beginning of miniature crime Very
little has been said regarding these incidents and it is in this
respect that raise the question to the matter of full
filling our respective obligations.
We feel first that it is the obligation and responsibility
of Municipal Police Department provide police pro-
lection and supervision to the life of every community in the
city whole Each community contributes its share to the
provision and maintenance of this department and should in
return expect and receive that protection for which pays
We have been informed that there is officer assigned to
the patrong of East Madison District after dark We
der why this obligation is not being net.
Secondly it the obligation of every parent to know the
habits whereabouts of their children to be
able and minimize it not eliminate those conditions
which for such of petty law violations We have
to minor years Are wrong when wonder why
parents neglecting this important obligation?
Lastly feel it is the obligation of individuals mer-
and businessmen affected by these crimes to disclose
the identity the participants rather than to shield the Of
tenders with hope of not having their patronage affected
by such disclosure
These, think undeniable and unacceptable obi
cations which part of functioning properly as
Police Department parents and merchants in the broad
gram of community living and improvement.

LEST WE FORGET!

Last week while commenting editorialy the Seattle
Community Fund stressed the fact that Phyllis Wheaty
Branch W. c. A. supported by the Fund but inadver
anty failed to mention that the Seattle Branch of the Nat
onal Urban League is also member of the Community
Fund We regret that this mistake made because no
other social agency benefited from the good work
of the Community Fund than the local Urban League
Time and time again has the writer called upon that
agency to relieve womans distress. Time and
again has kind of employment been given only
temporary.
Surely the Y W. c. A. and the Urban League render
such valuable service every Negro in the city of Seattle
should his contribution debt that must be paid Let
not be found wanting.

markable spectacle to see so many
rough men, who would be likely in
such conviviality to become trouble
some, sitting together without a mur-
mur or dispute. Americans and Eng
lish, Irish and Germans, they all hob
nobbed and seemed on friendly foot
ing, as though the common cause had
established sense Of closer brother
hood.
There was a platform on the
grounds where the speaking was done
through the afternoon and from it
about half-past two o'clock till night
fall large concourse were addressed
by John Swinton, Louis Post, Mr.. Ap-
pleton, of Rhode Island; Robert Bis
sert, and Messrs. Mcguire, King, Han
sen and others.
With evening came still larger
throng and the grounds were fairly
packed. There were booths scattered
over them, all kinds Of amusements
afoot and by fits and starts pyrotech-
MICS sent their polychromatic glare
over the place. On the dancing plat
form the fun was fast and furious.
1t was crowded with revolving,
capering, merry multitude, among
whom decorum was maintained by
Floor Managers Howe, Caville, Cleary,
Cory and Adams.
Altogether the summernight's fes-
tival was big affair of it's kind and
jolly one, as most of the partici-
pants can we'll attest.
