Doll House
Purchased

Every little child at the Halle
Q. Brown House and most of the
grown-ups, too, are thrilled over
the Doll House purchased by the
Doll Club. The house and furni-
ture was made by the WPA Handi-
craft Project, and the vanishing,
sandpapering, gluing, and mailing
was done by the Doll Club mem
bers and the stay-at-home campers.
Sunday, September 8, from to
A, the Doll Club will entertain at
a silver tea at the House to raise
money to pay for the Doll House.
The little members of the Doll
Club are children between the ages
of Sand 8 and are under the direc-
ton of Beatrice Vassar and Rosa
mond Collier. They number 20.
Upholstering for the house was
done by William F. Eckert and the
rugs and the material for the cur
tains was furnished by him. Mr..
Eckert also put the finishing coat
on the outside of the House.
Among those who have already
promised donations are Mrs. R. F.
Wilson, Mrs. Carrie Robertson, DR..
J. Walton Crump, Laura Jeffrey,
Mrs. Hazel Butler. Mrs. Theo.
Collier made a hand crocheted
tablecloth and Miss Ruth Tobie do
mated gold andirons for the fire
place, candlesticks for buffet, clock
for radio, horn of plenty, pictures,
and flowers.
The Doll House will be on ex-
hibition in the Woman's Activities
building at the Minnesota State
Fair.

House project.-E. B.

COUNTRY SCHOOLS

Inaccessibility of schools is one
of the most important factors caus-
ing non-attendance of more than
one million Negro school children
in the United States. Rural elemen-
tary Negro children live two or
three miles from the school house.
Bus service is provided for about
one per cent. Non-attendance of
those who live long distance from
schools is very common.
The equipment of the rural
schools are very inadequate. About
40 per cent use benches-no desks.
Some have no blackboards. Stoves
are used to heat more than half of
the school buildings.

Homemade irrigation

More than 10000 farmers wltl
their own means and industry nave
been reconstructing the irrigation
system on the lower reaches of the
Amu-Darya river at the Khorezm
oasis in central Asia, it is reported
in Moscow. Eleven Irrigation ca.
mails are scheduled in Kazakhstan.
The 60-mile Keless canal. already
completed, supplies water to %
farms. The 50-mile Ural-Kushum
canal, which 10000 farmers have
been constructing, is designed to re-
store life to that region. The land
has had no rain for several years
and crop yields have been negH-
gible. Farmers had to migrate
with their cattle for hundreds of
miles in search of pastures during
the summer.

A LETTER TO A CHUM

In last weeks column we wrote
about the kidnapping of northern
free Negroes which were sold as
slaves in the South. Below is a
letter which tells a story about
southern slaves agreeing to be kid
mapped, for which price was paid,
doublecrossed and sold again into
slavery.
Macon, %
Georgia, Nov, 1850.
Dear Sir and Chum:
:. "Well, well, there is another
dodge, might be which l have al
ready go scheming. I have four
Negroes whom I have promised to
carry North, agreeing that they
will consent to be sold once on
the way. Well, these Negroes are
stout carpenters, worth from ten to
fifteen hundred dollars each. Well,
we could sell them and cut thus,
with four or five thousand we could
burst it for two years, and then
play the same game again. These
Negroes meet me at their fathers
who is free, at Christmas, 18th
next month, their father furnishes
a couple of horses and wagon to
start on. The horses will sell for
grog money. Unless I make
the Negro business work, I am
dead broke at present. I think
the best thing is, to go home till
Christmas, or about week before,
and then come on, and We'll raise
a storm on these Negroes. The
business might be carried on glori-
ously for some time"
Your Friend,
J. w. Clifford.

to R. R. Clifden in Virginia.)

of progress for the General Fed eration, the Juneau Woman's Club will hold a silver tea tomorrow in the church parlors of the Metho- dist Church. Every woman on Cas- tineau Channel has an invitation to that tea and the committee in charge is making arrangements to care for really big crowd.
 Highlighting the entertainment for the afternoon will be the pro- cession of wedding gowns of the past. Latest find in that line for the committee is a wedding dress of 1344, which was worn by the grandmother of Mrs c. B. Rice. It will be modelled by Mary Jeanette Whittier. Modelling the wedding dress of the grandmother of Mrs. Fred Tiedt, will be Mrs. Harold FCss. Among the others of the group will appear in the process sion will be Miss Virginia Wor- ley, wearing wedding gown worn by the mother of Mrs John A. Chase, in 1890; Miss Lucille Fox wearing the wedding gown of her 1 mother, originally worn in 1907; Miss Beverly Lievers, wearing the
 wedding gown of Mrs. J. w. Liev- CTS, of the year 1915, and a num- | Der of more recent new gowns. A curious feature of the search flor wedding gowns is that so far none covering the years from 1920
 1880 have been discovered. Tn e committee is very anxious to have every decade since 1890 represent ed in the procession, and would ap- preciate hearing from anyone hav- ing a wedding gown of this per iod. It also would like one of the vintage of the early 1930's. Anyone having a wedding gown of these periods is urged to call Mrs. Rus sell Cook, and have it entered in the procession.

 For Jennie Croly did not stop with the organization of the So- rosis Club. From it's example grew many more clubs, and in 1890 casting about for a suitable way to celebrate it's 21st birthday, Jen- nie Croly organized with the help of group of brilliant women of the gay nineties period, The Gen eral Federation of Women's Clubs. First known as the American Fed eration it broadened it's powers later to take in clubs in foreign countries and territorial posses sions and changed it's name to General Federation. It goes Uncle Sam two better in the number of states it claims sovereignty over, for in the General Federation there are fifty states-both Alaska and the District of Columbia having full state satus.
