Yet the Tigers collected the

Chinnies. a total of 10 each.
But the Tiger blows came when

NEGRO '
 BUILDINGS SET
North Carolina, New Jer- sey, and Delaware to
 Get One Each

Herbert $. Smith, general secre- tary of the Waterbury Y. M. c. A. says that three new negro Y. M. C.. A. buildings are being built in the east, one in Greensboro, N. O.; an- other in Princeton, N. J., and the third in Wilmington, Della.
 Greensboro, N. C., will dedicate It's new negro Y. M. c. A. early this month. This is the gift O. Caesar Cone, 2nd, a Jewish manufacturer in Greensboro. MT. Cone gave this building in honor of two negro em- ployes, who had worked faithfully for his family fer 38 years. The building, costing $65000, will serve negro families as well as negro youth.
 Dr. Charming H. Tobias, national colored Y. M. c. A. secretary says: "Of late there has been growing attempt to import racial and religi- GUS hatredS to this country. Men like Caesar Cone, H. Fletcher Brown and the late great Jewish merchant, Julius Rosenwald, who forgot racial barriers to help the less privileged, give America her best front against foreign isms and abilit yto stay out of wars"
 The second building to be dedi- cated is the negro community "" ill Princeton, N. J., which is the result of gifts from residents of Princeton and the government. This Is the first coed negro "" in the country, with separate quarters for the Y, M. c. A. and Y. W. c. A.
 The third building is being con- structed in Wilmington, Del, cost Ing $3e5 GOO. This Is the gift of II. Fletcher Brown, wealthy banker. MT. Brown has also provided an endow- ment of $360,00o to make possible an outstanding program for negro men, boys, women mad children.
