"It must be remembered that
during the First World War the
opportunity came for Negro wom-
en- to join the growing and ef-
fective army of American women
engaged in defense pursuits of all
kinds,,' the Staff Adviser COM
mented. I'm what is known as the
war industries, Negro women were
recruited in the making of shells,
gas masks and airplane parts. The
employment of these women in
the manufacturing of mechanical
industries alone increased by over
fifty percent"
while it is true that most wa
lndustl.ies have undergone many
chronological changes since the
First World War, it is also true
that women as a whole have become
more mechanical minded. Many Of
them have studiously kept up with
the many chronological changes iii
most productive industries. In one
instance, a young Negro woman
holding a commercial pilots license
won the confidence and ad-
miration of a board of education
and the U. S. Civil Aeronautics
Authority sponsoring ground and
flight instruction classs for out-of-
school students as part of WPA
Adult Education Program. Thirty
one women have been enrolled at
one time in vocational education
classes under the WPA Emergency
Education Program. Other women
have become skilled operators of
smaller types of power machines
used principally on WPA sewing
projects. \
THE results of this kind of
training and experience show UP
in the recent jobs secured by ten
Negro women in the manufactur-
ing of electrical goods" Mr..
Smith emphasized. Current en-
ployment records also show that
four Negro women have jobs in
metal foundrieS, others are optical
goods workers, sheet metal work.

operators. In term of the huge de-
Tense work ahead of us, these are
but small beginnings in today's all
inclusive defense effort.
They indicate however, a virtual
ly untouched labor supply that
proved its worth during the world
conflict of twenty-five years ago.
1t is a singular case, indeed, when
one finds that the work training

Finally Dismiss
Color Covenant
Case In Chicago

CHICAGO = (ANP) - Circuit
Judge George F. Bristow dismissed
Thursday for want of equity the
complaint of the plaintiffs in the
now famous restrictive covenant
case involving Carl Hansberry
which was carried to the United
States supreme court. Thus one
more step is made in sundering
the bars which keep Negroes from
getting clear title to real estate
in the Washington park area.
The Chicago Title and Trust
company still refuses to give Ne
grOes title without a destructive
clause which says that Negroes are
not to live in or use the property
except as servants. This is true
IN spite of the fact that since the
supreme court victory, fully one
third of the 1a square blocks in
question have been occupied by
Negro tenants.
Atty. Irving A. Mollison, who mas
been one of the lawyers in the
group which fought the covenant
so effectively, outlined the present
status Friday.
1--WE brought the mandate from
the U. S. Supreme court down to
the Illinois Supreme court, with
reversal of judgment; then we re-
versed the previous Judgment of
the Circuit court" Mr.. Mollison
said. The verdict which dismisses
the complaint is gratifying for it
was feared Judge Bristow who rem
dered the original decision, might
give the complainants new trial.
This would have required carrying
the case to the supreme court
again"
Praise is still being given Atty's.
Mollison, Earl B. Dickerson, Tru-
man K. Gibson, Jr., C. Francis
Stradford and Loring B. Moore for
the legal work which led to the
victory. There is said to be a pos
sibilitv that the lawyers will waive
all damages and fees except the
bare cost in order to trade for\a an
immediate lifting of the clause
against which the original action
was defended.

faint with rage.
Excuse me-" she said. She
stood for a moment looking down
and wondering. Just what pur-

life? "The party seems to be
breaking up"
The youngsters crowded around
her, telling her how marvellous
it had been, begging her to come

with frank young approval. They
got their wraps and headed, chat

"Oh," said Elise. She felt as she
did the day she went to meet
Mark. She was saying all the
wrong things, and she couldn't
seem to stop. It was beginning to
d dawn on her that it would have
been better not to come tonight.
She steadily kept Lucy out of the
conversation but she had never
been so shatteringly conscious OF
another woman before.

mo, darling" said Elise. She
had come straight to them from
dull dinner at her mothers.
But looking at her as she
gazed pathetically into Marks
face, Lucy could have sworn she
hadn't eaten for at least a week,
and was refusing, to spare even
the servants unnecessary trouble.
She had never, she thought, met
anyone who managed to convey
so much by what she didn't say.
Alice and another maid came In
and carried the table away. And
presently there was sudden
rush of feet, and laughter in the
big hall, and the party burst in
headed by Valerie
"Darling," cried Valerie, "May
we dance now?. Or must we wait
a while? What shall we do?
"Of course you shall dance,
Lucy laughed. whenever you're
ready"
She Strengthened a flower on
Valerie's shoulder, and looked at
Elise, who ragged at the maternal
quality of the small scene. She
could hardly bear the implication
of the confidence and affection
between the two. Neither did she
miss the sudden droop of Val
cries young mouth as she follow
ed the pressure of Lucy's hand
and saw Elise, whom she had
overlooked in her first rush with
the others into the room.
''How do you do?" she said, try
ing to sound as cordial as she
could. She waved a hand toward
the chattering group around
Mark. 81 think you know every
body"
81 dare say long before you did
darling" Elise allowed herself
to say. "Their mothers and faith
ers were my friends before you
were born"
"How nice" said Valerie pol
itely. She felt vaguely apologize;
but as she couldn't imagine what
she had said, she decided to wait
and ask Lucy in the morning, if
she didn't forget it in all the ex-
element.
"Come on" she called to the
others. "Of course you're coming,
father and Lucy? Oh-and Mrs.
Waterford-Father will you pro-
mise to dance with me at least
once? It won't be a party unless
you do. Rex, maybe Lucy will
dance with you, if you solemnly
promise not to walk all over her
