take III action which has been widely talked of in
the pre.s. To remain as a member implies approval
of that action. | am therefore resigning."
s@ This is not the first time Mrs. Roosevelt has bold
1y and courageously championed our cause publicly.
We all remember how some weeks ago she went on
record as approving the passage of an Anti-Lynch
bill by congress because she felt it to be a step in the
right direction.
Thank God for Mrs. Roosevelt, a woman of high
est character, born to wealth and high social position,
yet too honest, too fair minded, too democratic to bow
to narrow minded prejudice.
Certainly we as Negroes appreciate Mrs. Roose-
velts stanC, certainly we applaud her action. But this
is not enough. Let us show her in some tangible way
our gratitude by sending her a post card, a letter, or
a telegram, thanking her for this expression of her
desire for justice and fair play.
Don't delay-write to Mrs. Roosevelt TO-DAY.

BILL WOULD PUT KHAN ON
SPOT

Atlanta, Ga. March 2--(CNA)-
Rep ]. B. Davis, of Newman, is
leading a fight to suppress the ter
roristic Ku Klux Khan in Georgia
headed by Imperial Wizard Hiram
W. Evans. "a -. l-
Davis Is author of a bill making
it a misdemenor to wear a mask,
hood. or regalia for the purpose of
ccncealing identity. The measure
was before the Georgia Houses
Committee on the State of the Re-
public last week. :,
This bill Is aimed directly at the
bp ..lux Klan," Davis said. II think
tho Khan has brought shame and
disgrace to the whole South. 1t is
a disgrace to permit the hooded
hoodlums of the Khan to appear in
public.
"Tf we can keep the masks off
these men. we can identify them.
Then our courts can arrest and con
Wet them"
The Khan. after several years of
inactivity, has Shown renewed life
in recent months. Among its recent
activities have been an organized
attack on Go unions in the South
and a campaign, initiated at a Sc
cret meeting, to eliminate promin-
ent Negro Democrats from the next

A MODERN WATER HEATER
INCREASES VALUE OF HOUSE

1t is agreed in realty circles that
the installation of an efficient mo-
dern water heater increases the
market value and sales appeal of
any house. However the heater
must be typed and sized to fulfill
the requirements of the house in
question.
Constant research and develop
ments in the realm of automatic
gas water heaters have brought
forth a numerous array Of types
and Sizes" says w. J. Barber, as
sistant to the General Manager,
Metropolitan Utilities District.
"Such variety is in no ems need
less because water heating engin-
GERS with years of experience have
found that variations in service re-
ouirements are in themselves 50
numerous they could not be met
by limitations in heater.
consequently there are gas wa
ter heaters specifically designed
and engineered for about every
conceivable home need.
"A convenient form of the auto
matte storage heater is the CONVEX
tible or adjustable recovery type
on which the amount of gas burn
ed can be changed to furnish am
cunts of hot water.
"For example,, n type of heat
err has two burners, the first t
be employed for ordinary hot wa
ter demands, with the second bun
ner available for manual S t
meet extra demands for hot wat
err service.

been improved; it is estimated thi
amounts to a 10 percent increas
in the last three years,-a facto

the refund, according to De En-.

The current refund brings the
total of payments returned to mem

ed by any similar organization.
Mr.. Bradshaw said the refund was
Indicative of the financial stability
OF the society.
The amount of each check was
determined by the length of time
the members certificate had been
in force, and the amount of each
annual payment. Three hundred
thousand members who have held
beneficiary certificates lin good

more than two years, shared in the

"The Woodmen Of the World has
taken great forward strides in the

"Our membership has increased
more han $4,000. Our assets have
grown from IS million to more
