COMBINING JEWELS
AND FLOWERS

Mantillas are popular. So are
off-the-faee, halo headdresses. And
so are medium-size crowns-of
fresh flowers or pearls or a COM
bination Of flowers and jewels.
In other words. the smart bride
will wear some kind Of head-dress
rather than a simple wreath of
flowers-to hold her veil in place.
White remains supreme. Silk
lace, chiffon, taffeta. organdy. net
and finest pure silk crepes are
popular fabrics. Smart departures
from the traditional type of ac-
cessories include in addition to
the various headdresses, flower
necklaces and bracelets and muffs

long-stemmed flowers.

Let Us Love God

Selfishness, deceit and hypocrisy
fill our church pews today. Let us
profess the love of God in our
hearts, assure ourselves that we
possess it. The devil, himself, in
sleeps clothes, is not only in our
church pews, but has the brass
to place himself on our highest
church rostrums. We have to con-
tinually ask Gods protecting pow
er from those who, through deceit
and hypocracy, cause us at times
to stumble and almost doubt our
Savior's loving care. Let us all
pray for more of the divine love of
God in our hearts. That is what
we need and we must have it if
we hope to see our Savior in peace.
Believe 1t or not, there are more
people dying for the want of love
than from any other one thing.
Let us pray for more love to God,
and all mankind. This precious
possession will move God on his
throne when our enemies would de-
stroy us.

With the 1910 presidential campaign well under way,
divers groups loud in their complaints against ills suf-
ered under the New Deal Among these complaints those
many Negroes who regard the New Deal
a bad Deal"
Three cardinal complaints registered by the Negro
against the New Deal Administration They may be
lied as follows:
That when the Department of Justice failed to pro-
the nmdaors of Negro voters and other
abuses which deprive them their right franchise
South, the President failed to take action;
g. That New Deal silence promotes the national dis
grace of jim Crowsm and other forms of segregation in the
nations capitol
g. That the President failed to recognize and promote
of Is million Negroes in the national economy
by failing give them proper representation in the admins
tratve policy making agencies of the government where
they could protect these interests.
These fundamental handicaps in the national set-up
penetrate and effect the Negro throughout whole
mic system and account for the widespread discrimination he
suffers under the New Deal.
Just long the South persists believing that
maintain two systems of justice for the white citizen
and for coored that deny any of its citizens the
rights and privileges due them under the Constitution just
long will it remain backward section and just long
will the whole nation suffer.
The studied system of discrimination the

has been imposed upon oppressed by both Church and State

school. Another statement that
shocks and Is hard to believe is
that no Negro boys applied for adj
mission to the BOeing classes at
Edison school. If this is true it is
a sad commentary on our leading
Negro organizations. How was it
that this knowledge was universal
ly known to white youths and I'M
known to Negro youths? We must
admit the school system in Seattle
has been doing pretty good job
of handling racial questions that
Ku Kluxers try to inject into our
midst. Albeit we must unravel
the mystery that surrounds the
agreement between the Edison
school and Boeings. Remember,
the price of civil rights is eternal
vigilance.
The action attributed to the
F. B. I. must be cleared up. The
F. B. I. permits Dutchmen, Com
munists, Fascists, Nazis, and for
eigners of every brand to operate
around the plant. Apparently the
only stamp needed is a white face.
The open admission on part of the
authorities that they will not per-
nit Japanese born American CT
tizen to work in the Boeing Air
plant shows that the government
has taken sides with the Cocoon
spirators in their campaign to de-
prive hungry Negro children of
| bread.
Take notice that white foreign
representatives and spies are not
excluded. Therefore, the Japanese
angle leads us to believe that the
F. B. l., with unlimited sums to
spend on kidnappers of rich, but
nothing to apprehend lynchers of
Negroes, is fathering the exclusion
scheme at Boeing. We believe from
circumstantial evidence that their
action in excluding Negroes is not
based on fear of sabotage but ra-
| Their on some secret governmental
policy of keeping good paying jobs
in the hands of white workmen.
The above four institutions are
supported by tax, and for that rea-
son are public institutions. All do
cuments between them and the
Boeing plant are public property
and should be open to the public
scrutiny. Every paper that passed
between these parties should be ex-
amined and we believe that docu-
mentary proof of the greatest
crime in history will be uncovered.
If Negroes would give financial
support to committee this infor-
nation could be had. A concerted
action rightly conducted would re-
suit in skilled black workers tin
kering with airplanes on the banks
of the Duwamish at $3.50 per hour.

Your House and
Garden Beautiful
The Nursery
BY Doris M. Jones


The decoration and furnishing
of the child's room have a great
influence upon the small occupant
for they form the background of
most of their activities during an
impressionable period.
Bright colors, tremendously used
make for the greater health and
happiness of child, and as rule
light tints are better than the
somber shades. The more sunlight
in the nursery the better so colors
which absorb the least of it.
If there is roomy closet off the
playroom, it may be partitioned
into shelves and compartments
within the reach of childish hands.
Or if there be no closet, low cup
boards may be built into corners
leaving the rest of the wall space
free. The window seat may have
hinged doors that open out, con-
cealing the space within. This ar
rangement is far superior to that
with hinged opening at the top.
The floor space is kept open as
possible to allow sufficient room
for the enjoyment of games. A
window box filled with Towering
plants, an urn in which chinese
lilies or nareissus grow from a
pebble bed, and a bowl of gold
fish on safe place, add interest
to the nursery.
There are numerous accessories
which go far to make the nursery
a delightful place. But, plennty of
room, bright airy surroundings and
a fair supply of toys will insure
a happy childhood and lay the
foundation for sound, right-mind-
ed boy or girl.

JUST TO

1t is reported that the WPA
will cut two hundred and twenty
eight thousand from its rolls in
April. Wonder if they will all go
back to work just before Novem-
Der 5.
The almost unanimous election
of Mayor Langlie by Seattle vot-
ers indicates that the people of
Washington are going to demand
one of two things: Mr.. Langlie for
governor of this state or his re-
cord, may be both.
NOTICE: To anyone seeking to
get on relief or the WPA, never
admit that you are a Republican
They must hold out on somebody
to tax. And always swear you will
not kill Santa Claus. Be sure to
make your application at least six
months prior to any state or ma
tional election, if you do not wish
to starve to death before they get
through checking up on you.
y
You can't fool all the people all
the time. Not in half a century
has any party accomplished the
feat of the Republicans in the last
election: 81 congressional seats.
Democrats will please take notice
that the people only rented you
those seats, nor have they given
you any lease rights.

Good Neighbors

st. Mark, eth chapter, And
verse: And whosoever shall offend
one of these little ones that believe
in me, it is better that a milestone
were hanged about his neck, and
he were cast into the sea.
These words were spoken by
Christ our Savior to all who love
God, his neighbors as himself. How
many of us have found these
words true? Your humble writer
is more than happy to tell you that
on hundreds of occasions, he has
witnessed this great truth. More
than half century of earnest en-
deavor to live as near our Savior's
commands as possible, we find in
his own time and way, he removes
all obstacles from the path of
those who trust him. God has a
job for each one of us to do in
this life, and we should go about it
in his name, trusting these wonder
full promises to keep us from all
harm and danger. He has kept me
these three score years, safe and
sound. There were those who tried
to destroy my soul and body; but
true to his word, my good Savior
fought all of my battles and my
enemies went down one by one,
never to harm me again or any of
his servants who love and trust
him
