BY Mrs. John S. Rowe,
Publicity Chairman

Memorial Day on May 10 will be
observed by the North Carolina Di-
vision of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy with special pro-
grams honoring tn e Confederate
dead whose graves will be deco
rated with fitting ceremony.
At the same time the Daughters
will lay wreaths and garlands of
flowers on the graves of soldiers
who fought in the Spanish Ameri-
can and the World Wars.
The custom of decorating the
graves of the Confederate dead
originated in the south before the
close Of the war. In the spring of
each year the women went togeth-
err to the graves of the soldiers and
decorated them with wild flowers.
This custom has spread until it is
observed throughout the states
where soldiers of the War Between
the States r buried.
In the south the dates for hold
ing these services vary according
to the season. The 26th of April is
observed as Memorial Day in Ala
bama, Florida, Georgia and Mis-
sissippi; the tenth of May is OBJ
served in North and South Caro-
lima. In Virginia May 80 is the
states memorial day while June 8,
the birthday Of Jefferson Davis, is
ol-erved in Louisiana and Tennes-
see. Other sections and northern
states observe May 80 as Memorial
With the plans for Memorial Day
services comes the wish that each
celebrant in the south carry the
thoughts expressed by Sidney Lam
Ter when he gave the Memorial
Day address April rs, 1870, in the
cemetery at Macon, Georgia. Look
ing across the field of Confederate
dead who lie buried there and over
the vast throng assembled about
him to do them honor, he said in
part: MAY the tone of this day be
round and melodious! We come
here without resentment, without
scorn, without hate or vengeful
feeling. Standing upon the Sc
rene heights of forgiveness, our
souls choir together the enchanting
music of harmonious civilization.
Today we shall not disturb the
peaceful slumbers of these Sleep
ers with music less sweet than the
serenade Of loving remembrance,

Residential building last year IN
the Northwest, as well as in the
rest Of the u. s.. was the highest
in 10 years. according TO Stevens.
The lumber industry has learn
ed to build homes ranging in cost
from $1,000 to $4,000. Proof of
that lies in the fact that In 1899
- the best year since 1880 - an
estimated total of 100000 new
family units were built.
Incidentally. the 1o-biilion dol

struction In the U. s. provides Jobs
for about three million workers:
indirectly, about seven and a half
million others work behind the
lines

quired.
Such devices" Stevens says,
mot only increase the efficiency
OF wood construction at the joints
from 200 to 1000 per cent, but
they make the fundamental eco
nomy of timber construction more
pronounced in both light and heavy

Manages Million-Dollar Concern
Mr.. Sengstacke began his man
agerial duties of the publishing
company's million-dollar business
in 1884. Not only has he kept the
Defender operating at a profit, but
he has also raised the salaries of
employees and made a number of
additions to the plant.
The publisher studied printing,
business and commercial law at
Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va.
He has also done graduate work in
business administration, account
ing, and journalism at Ohio State
and Northwestern Universities.
Defense Is Topic
Defense and its implications to
the Negroes of St. Paul will be the
keynote of the meeting this year.
Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr., executive
secretary of the League, pointed
out that the training program in
Minnesota is the most important
aspect of the present situation.
Mr.. Mitchell stated that, accord
ing to information which he has
received from Washington, all per-
sons who are trained in the skills
which will be needed for the de-
tense industries will be employed,
regardless of race.
One Third from WPA
In st. Paul, he said, the indica-
ton is that persons who will be
given training will come from three
sources. The first group will be
taken from private industry, the
second from the Minnesota EN-
