noBBIN, the dancing horse of the
- hilarious Ford horse opera,
asked this question when he trotted
into the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" party
of the CircumnavigatOrs Club in
the Ford Exposition at the New
York Worlds Fair.
Some of the members were prop
erly taken aback. Circumnavigators
Club is an exclusive international
organization of cosmopolites i'm
portant in the industrial, exploring,
dramatic and writing fields. To be-
long, one must have gone around
the world by an unconventional
route, but none of them had done
it on horseback. And Judging from
the expression on the face of Major
J. Allan Dunn, explorer and master
of ceremonies of the evening, Qeft),
none of them thought it a very
sound idea.
Pictured are the two dancers en-.
cased in Dobbin's papier mache and
gray flannel hide as they delivered
the invitation to mount DObbin for

the next globe-girdiing expedition.
The horse was quite a hit of this
party-the final one, of the year
staged by the parent, New York,
chapter of Circumnavigators- The
Ford pavilion had been transformed
for this meeting into a tropical jun
gle with matched huts, palms, mat
ting walls, macaws, monkeys, cocka-
toos, beautiful sarong maidens. and
yes! even a baby elephant from
Frank Bucks exciting Jungleland
show at the Fair.
Comforting with Dobbin, Cleft to
right are Major Dunn; Dobbin
himself, star of the Ford EXPOSE
tons "a Thousand Times Neigh"
show; Frank Buck, in person, macs
trO of more jungle creatures than
any man alive; Arthur NJ. Tode,
honorary national president of the
Propeller Club of America; and
Harrison Forman, explorer, lecturer
and camera man, who brought out
of Poland the first pictures of the
siege Of Warsaw.

DISTANCES ELIMINATED

So efficient is the modern sys-
tenn of mass merchandising de-
veloped by the chain stores that
foodstuffs can be transported
great distances without adding
appreciably to their cost. For
instance, the average haul on
fruits and vegetables is 1,500
miles, yet items in this category
formerly only available to the
woman in the upper income
brackets now are available at
prices within reach of modest
budgets.

FOOD FACTS N A
NUTSHELL
CABBAGE CASES

Although warmed over cabbage
does not make a very palatable
dish, any cabbage left from a
first serving can be used to adj
vantage as a wrapper in which
to fry or bake small portions of
finely chopped meat of any kind.

The Fight Still RACES

In the past few weeks, we have much in the columns
of this paper concerning the fight which has been waged
against the forces which have excluded Negroes from
poymen at the Boeng Aplant here in the City of Seattle
At the conclusion of the first part of the fight which in
reality merely the laying of the ground work for the
big fight which yet to many statements went abroad
in the community. Some complimentary and some
condemnatory in their nature Be that may, it
still remains that the fight must be fought There those
who contend that nothing has been done and nothing
has been accomplished This may be true if viewed from
certain angles However is true also that of the vital
forces, namely which had been offered which
has been at work in excluding Negroes from employment
the Boeng Plant has been removed 1t is possible
Negroes to look forward to being taken into Union With
this obstacle out of the way the big fight waged
The fight ahead is much severe then that which
has been experienced 1t is responsibility square
off with and to face million dollar corporation in
efforts to demand rights This fight calls for the
pete harmony and cooperation of activity and coordnated
programs the part of all persons concerned 1t hope
of all those interested that at this time which really is the
crucial hour the forces which have heretofore been

Tax Drive

Washington, D. c. - The Ma
tional Negro Congress launched
this week a campaign to arouse
the Negro people throughout the
North in opposition to the poll
tax laws which keep ten million
poor whites and Negroes from
voting in eight southern states.
In outlining the drive to the lead
ers of the local councils through
out the country, the Congress
called for the establishment of
broad citizens committees which
would include church, civic, fra
ternal, trade union, youth and 9TH
organizations. The Congress cam
paign will include the signing of
petitions and the distribution of
buttons and special anti-poll tax
pamphlet and barrage of letters
and post cards.

Labor Unions Back H.F. Alexander
For Maritime Commission Post

A concerted effort is being made
by labor, business and professional
men to have H. f. Alexander ap-
pointed Done of the vacancies in
the Maritime Commission. For
years the Pacific coast has had no
representative on this commission,
and now demands recognition be
given in one of the two commits
sioners soon to be appointed. No
man is better qualified than our
own H. F. Alexander. For years he
operated boats on the coast from
Alaska, coastwise and the Orient.
35 years ago with two vessels,
Alexander began the building of
fleet that was to sail the seven
seas and make his name known
all over the world. His wide ex-
perience and knowledge of every
maritime problem of the west
coast would make him an ideal
commissioner.
Under Alexander the Colored
Marine Association had a men,
bership of 400 colored employees
third stewards, chief cooks, wait
ers, bed room stewards, porters,
bath room attendants bus boys
and janitors. Harry Duvall, one
time secretary of the Association,
states that the employment given
colored citizens by Alexander's Ad-
miral line and freight boats served
to increase the colored population
of Seattle more than any other
transportation company in the
Northwest. Alexander always saw
to it that hundreds of Negro men
and women were given employ
ment Speaking of their gratitude
to him, he said, they all proved
themselves faithful workmen and
I am glad to have done what I
did," Believing no appointment
would prove more popular, the
Northwest Enterprise is sponsor
ing campaign to secure the back
ing of labor in naming a Maritime
Commissioner from the west.
The Marine Cooks, and Stew
ards, Longshoremen, B. S. C. P.
and other organizations have al
ready shown a friendly attitude.
