Wheatley House
Halloween arty

Negro children of Minneapolis
were entertained at the Phyllis Wheat
ley Settlement House on Halloween
night, October 81, 1889, from 7:30 to
HOO.
Miss Hilda Moses directed the pro-
gram and community singing. An
artist drew comics which the children
all rushed to get Also magician who
fascinated them with tricks of all
kinds. A juggler kept the children
amused with the aid of his assistant
with his skill in juggling. Silent movies
were run off by Charles Miller which
were very amusing.
Children were dressed in comical
costumes, boys as girls and old ladies
that gave many laugh. While the
younger boys and girls were being ell.
tertained the older ones were dancing
to the Phyllis Wheatley Orchestra il
the assembly.
Through the efforts of the North
land Milk Company this program wa
put on. The Company contributed 2
dollars toward the expense of the Com
munity House and free ice cream wa!
provided for every one. With three
and one-half hours of fun the children
went home feeling we'll satisfied.

PERSISTENCE WINS

Frank R. Crosswaith, for years past
a persistent Socialist candidate for one
or another political office, is this sea-
son a Manhattan candidate for the of
flee of the City Council on a Fusion
plank under the banner of the Ameri-
can Labor Party. Crosswaith, who
has given his life in organizing Ne
groes into trade unions, has come up
the hard way believing in the Con-
fucianism that there is nothing which
cannot be obtained by persistence"
He began his political career when he
had not a ghost of a chance of Win
ming. Crosswaith deserves to win.
The sly Tammany Tiger recently
set up New York's second Negro Dis
trict Leader in the person of Assem-
blyman Daniel L. Burrows. Burrows
case resulted from an agitation among
Negroes in his District against white
leadership. 1t is more evidence that
persistence wins.

Paul Robson Actor
Returns To States

land to aid the struggle for democracy
in Jamaica But using the excuse of
the war, the British government has
disrupted this work. A series of meet
ings which were arranged have been
cancelled. This is proof enough that
the Negro colonials should support
neither British nor French imperialism
in the war. The colonials stand to
gain if people can succeed in checking
the imperialist plans of both Hitler and
Chamberlain" he explained. Regard
less of which side wins the serfdom OF

Certainly, the Negro people in
America have every stake in keeping
America out of this conflict, and in
battling against the war hysteria which
now seriously threatens civil rights

NJ ajorie Candy
Petty Larcney

Attempted forgery led to the appre-
hension of Marjorie Candy on purse
snatching charge by local police, Mon
day, in secret trailing that led Day
ton store under cover agent through
most of the loop down town shops to
end at a loop dime store where the
purloined purse was finally riffled in
the very presence of a secret female
shadowing agent in the washroom.
When questioned at police headquar-
ters, Mrs. Candy released a cloud of
protestations of honest intentions and
gainful occupations, one of which was
non-existing job at the ST. Paul Bus
Depot which the police traced to
point of purely imagination AT the
date in store where the forgery was
consumated in an attempt to charge a
hat for $l.25, the fraudulent claim of
credit was investigated In keeping
with the stores policy in all credit re-
quests in excess of one dollar when her
account claim was found to be fraudu-
lent store operator was set upon her
trail within the store and detected her
in the act of picking up the pocket
book of customer while the unsus-
pecting victim was examining the mer-
chandise. The fact that the Candy wo-
man had no police record reacted in
her favor and charge of petty lar
ceny was placed against her that can
only entail a work house sentence.

HIGHER SILVER
PRICE BOON TO
MONTANA NES

HELENA -Montanas silver min
ing industry stands to benefit
greatly If the senate's amendment
to the monetary bill setting a price
of 1857 cents an ounce is put
through the house.
James A. Mckenzie, manager of
the American Smelling & Rein
ing Co works at East Helena,
summed it up this way:
That price would be a great
thing for Montana. There's no
doubt of that.
Montana has many silver prop
critics. The mines in the Neihart-
Monarch district and in Granite
county and elsewhere are primarily
silver camps.
1T would be a great boon to the
state if the 1857 cent price actu-
ally is enacted"

MAY GET STOCK
Pile MANGANESE
ORE IN MONTANA

WASHINGTON-Senator Wheel
er, democrat, Montana, predicted
that the amount available for sur
veys and purchases of manganese
by the government under the stra-
tegic war materials act during the
next fiscal year would be raised
from $10,OOO.00O to $2O,OO0,OOO.
Wheeler made the prediction
after a conference with Undersec-
rotary of War Louis A. Johnson in
which Senator Johnson, democrat,
Colorado, participated.
I'VE asked for an increase in
the allotment and were led to
believe we will get it," Wheeler
said.
The senators also suggested that
the war department create a stock
pile of manganese ore at Butte,
Mont, and process the raw mater
ial at Pueblo, Colo.
Wheeler said there was little
likelihood the accumulation of raw
manganese would be kept at Butte,
since the war department believed
it should be available on the east
and west coasts

A review of the geology and ore

mining district of Montana and an
estimate of the possibilities for de-
velopment and exploitation of this
district under modern mining
methods are contained in the latest
memoir to be ISSUED by the State
Bureau of Mines and Geology at

nounced the publication of Memoir

beginning wednesday. A charge
OF is cents is made to cover cost

In a foreward to the publica-
ton DR.. Thomson says, This re-
port on the Rochester district is
a review lof the geology and ore
deposits bf one of the formerly
productive @gold- mining districts of
Montana. At Rochester and in
many other districts difficulties in
creased as depth was gained. The
pumping OF water with steam
power; the necessity of treating an
ore which no longer yielded most
of its gold to amalgamat ton; and
the exhaustion of bonanZas formed
by surficial enrichment. led to the
closing down of one property after
another.
With the availability of cheap
electric power and of modern
methods of ore-treatment, such
districts, in view of the enhanced
price of gold, present distinct pos
sibilities Of profitable operation
provided geologic conditions are
clearly analysed and properly un-
derstood.
As a contribution to such under
standing the present report has
been published "
The area covered by the report
extends from Twin Bridges west

TESTING USE OF SANDSTONE
INSTEAD OF GRAVEL MIX

If an experiment now being car
ried on by the state highway de-

construction costs may be cut
one-third In areas where gravel is
lacking but where sandstone is
available, according to State High
way Engineer Don McKinnon.
A three-mdle section of bitumi-
nous highway is being constructed
between Mosby and Jordan, with
decomposed sandstone used as a
for gravel. The plan has
been tried in the past by the high
way department, and results were
satisfactory, but a longer expert
mental strip was needed.

, 1.-THE bill calls for the expendi-
ture of S100,O00,0O0 during the
next four years to stock-pile miner
ais and other essentials for defense
or emergency, the materials covered
being those of which there has
been no substantial domestic pro-
duction," Tnauerman said
However. manganese producers
in Butte and Philhpsburg are ready
to produce in large quantities and
domestic producers are to be fav-
ored in several ways against for
eign producers" he added.
One of the leading steel pro-
ducers in the West recently ad-
vised Mr. Trauerman that he would
rather use the Butte pink man
ganese than any other kind.
While the large chrome depos-
its in central Montana are not in
shape for immediate production,
the bill calls for an annual appro-
priation of 100000 to be spent
by the United States Bureau of
Mines and the United States Geolo-
gical Survey to carry on research
work, including mining and metal
lurgical tests to attempt to develop
domestic sources of the critical me-
tails. No doubt quite a little of this
work will be carried ON
in Montana.
