Furniture designed by master
craftsmen, artists and sculptors for
an American way of living and &C
cessories to go with it are now avail
able in Washington. This plan has
been growing for two years and it is
interesting to find the merchandise
as fine as we hoped it would be, and
Just as useful.
The picture shows a sofa with
maple frame and spring upholstered
cushions, that is easily moved, light
in appearance and because of its de-
sign superlative in comfort. Russell
Wright, who designed this furniture,

has used all of sculptor's knowl-
edge of the human frame in plan
ming this sofa and the chairs that
may be used with it. The curve of
the arm fits your own arm in its
most restful and relaxing position.
The angle of the back and the slant
of the seat are also ideally COM
Portable. This costs $50 in the
muslin, $50 in the fabric shown,
which is a cool yellow and beige
cross stripe made by Marianne
Stringell, the Finnish designer.
The two tables shown are each
SO 95, and are practical, sturdy and

ideal in size and height for their
use. All the wood is maple in a
natural finish, which does not scar
and has a warm satiny surface.
The table lamp at $3.50 and the
tall lamp, which is called a trumpet
reflector. at $3.50 are by Russell
Wright and make the ensemble COM

The draperies are the Indian
Feather design, by Scott Wilson,
are red, grey white and black, on a
clear lemon ground, and are per-
feet with the warm wood tones and
the yellow upholstery of the sofa.

If praises you would relate,
Why Wait until too late?

All the praises held in store

If spoken to some one
For achievements they have won,

When their life on earth is done,
Too late then-to commend,
The good deeds of a friend.

IMPORTANT FACTS OF NEGRO
HISTORY
M :

Hammurabi, Prince Of Babylon, ruled the
great Negroid Asiatic Empire for many years,
While he served as ruler, in the year 2231 B. C..
he wrote a CODE OF LAWS which contained
many excellent provisions for the government
of human society. His code was written nine
hundred eighty years before MOSES wrote his
code. Many passages in the Mosaic code embody
principles found in the Hammurabian code.
Hammurabi called himself "Hammurbi,
The Righteous" And history regards him as
one of its greatest lawgivers, but c~onceals the
facts that he was what we now call a Negro.

Oornhusker club are we'll on their
way in planning for the picnics
and luncheons that will be given
the visiting guests. Many other
citizens of prominence will be in
vited to attend the dances and So
cial events given for these out
state visitors.
While listening TO Byron Nelson
go down in defeat, / was thinking
of our topnotch golfers doing the
same. Will they be able to take
it with all the loyal support thew

Omaha, Nebraska keep your neajs

great numbers of Negroes had al
ready become skilled workers, and
while undoubtedly many owed
their training to experience OBJ
tained in America. they had an
inheritance which dated to an At
rican background, where for cen
turtles many of their forefathers
Were skilled artisans.
In music they made a distinct
contribution to American life. In
religion, they swayed the life Of
millions. As humble workers on
farms and plantations they made
possible the dominance of the
South in the production of tobac-
co, rice sugar and cotton, To say
nothing about service in Other
fields.
The devotion to America as SOL
diers has been shown in every con-
flict in which our country has
been engaged. During the first
world war, 100000 Negroes enrol
led for service, and they were the
first to get into action. And while
hundreds of Americans were ac-
cused of disloyalty it is said that
there wasn't a single Negro am
ong the number.
And what may be said about
those who, in spite of prejudice
and opposition have excelled as
poets, teachers, journalists, ant
lists. actors, artisans, physicians,
bankers, businessmen, scientists
and many other occupations?
Given the same opportunities en-
joyed by others, hosts of Negroes
would today be in the front RANKS
among the people of u country
Sooner or later the people of this
country will realize the unfairness
of the barriers which stand in the
way of the Negroes of America,
and when that time comes they
will be prepared to take their place
shoulder to shoulder with all those
who hope and work for the prog
ress of our great nation.
