Alex (RedD Alpert was only 10, but
he demanded larger share of the
profits OF Murder, Inc. That
audacity brought its inevitable re-
suit on a chill day in November,
1888, when his body, bullet in the
back, was tossed into a courtyard in
the Brownsville section of Brooklyn,
A few days later, tragic pilgrim
age began. Every day a wan old
lady walked from her home to the
police precinct to ask:

THE TOWN BAND

1t is safe to say that no institution of
civic nature gives greater returns for the
money and effort expended upon it than
does a good town band. The benefits de-
rived through the maintenance of band
touch the entire cultural social and COM
mercial life OF the community.
Members of the organization are en-
abled to develop their musical talents in
pleasant association with their fellows,
while the discipline necessary to their sue
cessful advancement is most desirable for
boys and young men.
After the band is capable of playing
in public its presence adds UNNECESSARILY
to parades ceremonies and celebrations of
every kind, while it's regular concerts are
a source of enjoyment for the entire citi-
zenship.
AS business proposition, a good
band is of the greatest value in advertis-
ing it's town. The better the band the bet
ter the advertisement, of course. In some
localities it is the custom for merchants
associations to take the band occasionally
on goodwill trips to various rural COM
munities in their trade territory. Such
trips invariably result in closer relations
and consequently increased trade.
1t does not take large town to main
tain good band; in fact some of the best
amateur bands are found in towns of less
than 1000 population. With earnest and
willing members, a capable instructor and
reasonable support from the leading citi-
zens a good band may be developed any
where.
A town that does not possess a band
is overlooking one of the most valuable
agencies for it's social and commercial ad-
Vancement.

OPINIONS ON ANTI-LYNCHING BILL

The controversial Gavagan Anti
Lynching Bill, which has passed the
House, awaits action by the Senate where
it is certain to run into filibuster.
Recently, the American Institute of
Public Opinion interviewed "a scien-
tifically selected cross-section of men and
women in every State,' asking their
opinions of the proposed bill, with the re-
suit that fifty-five per cent were recorded
in favor of the pending legislation.
Interesting is the report that the
strongest support for the bill comes from
Northern Democrats, with the strongest
opposition from Southern Democrats In
teresting also is the report that the Re-
publicans questioned about the bill record
ed themselves evenly divided on the ques-
ton.
There is no necessity for the passage
of the Gavagan bill except so far as it af-
fects the political fortunes of members OF
Congress who face heavy Negro vote in
their congressional districts in the North
and West. So far as the crime of lynch
ing is concerned, the record shows that it
is gradually disappearing.
Moreover, as almost any sensible per-
son knows, the best way to avoid lynchings
is to mobilize public sentiment against
them in the South With the better class
of the people of the South almost unani-
mously against lynching, regardless of al
legged cause, the practice of lynching is al
most certain to die out
The maintenance of this powerful OPP
position to lynching is more important
than the passage of bill of doubtful value
except as a sop to some fanatics.

WAR AGAINST THE NEUTRALS

According to the Associated Press,
twenty-three ships were lost at sea during
the twenty-fifth week of the war, from
February IS to February ID, inclusive.
1t is interesting to note that of the
twenty-three vessels lost, only seven, or TO-
541 tons, belonged to Great Britain. The
other sixteen, with tonnage in excess OF
$4,000 tons, belonged to neutral coun-
tries.
Of the eight ships sunk by sub
marines, planes and warships, only three
were British. Of five sunk by mines, three
were British and of the ten that went down
through other causes, or for unknown rea-
sons, only one of ten belonged to Great
Britain
Of the fifteen neutral ships destroyed
during this week, five belonged to The
Netherlands, four to Norway, two to Fin
land, two to Sweden, one to Spain, one to
Denmark and. one to Greece.
The tabulation seems to indicate that
the Germans are having greater success in
sinking neutral ships than in destroying
those belonging to the British.

Soon the time will be here when you
