rs an economy measure, the
mayor actually destroyed the
morale of the policemen to the
point where they used up more
sick leave than they had pre-

example OF false economy.

MRS. TERRELL
INTERVIE WED
By MONROE MASON

Brilliance and culture in the queenly
parsonage of Mary Church Terrell
came to Boston last Sunday. Memo
ries of her late jurist and scholar hus-
band, Robert H. Terrell also entered
the picture as she frequented familiar
spots where both had enjoyed intimate
associations. 1t seemed unbelievable
to witness vigor and youth just as it
was over 40 years ago. Each moment
of her visit to the "Hub" was enveloped
in an over burdened program, which
apparently did not sap her tireless
energy. Friends of long years outdid
themselves in sharing with the Delta
Sigma Theta" sorors that one Colored
woman has lived in a white world,
worth while, who knows the up and
downs of her race. She came to Bos-
ton at an opportune time to unbridle
some wisdom that the average person
might possess but without ease and

courses of the Civil Aeronautics
Authority and holds a private pilots

nation by army doctors at Boiling Field
last July. Williams says he met all
for application for APP
pointment as a flying cadet, made out
his application and transmitted it with
all required references and records, to
the commanding officer of the third
corps area on November 20, 1910. The
Commanding General according to the
complaint refused to consider the APP
plication because of the plaintiffs color.
Williams says he appealed to the
Adjutant General and the Secretary of
War, and on December 10, 1910 the
appeal was refused on the anne basis.
The complaint also alleges that during
thai time and at the present time the
defendant officials of the War Depart

papers and over the radio requesting
qualified citizens to enlist as flying
cadets in the Air Corps of the Army Of
the United States.

William S. Green departed this life
on Friday, January 10, 1871. He was
born in White Hall, N. C. and came to
Boston at an early age. He was en-
ployed by the Pullman service for over
80 years, and was held in high esteem
by all of his co-workers. He was a
member of the Peoples Baptist Church.
His funeral was held there on Monday,
Jan. 10 and was largely attended and
many beautiful floral tributes were in
evidence. Rev. R. M. Owens, officiated.

bluntly saying that "no creed, no race
has a monopoly on craftsmanship"
His words came after several lauda-
tory speeches which praised Lou for
being the possessor of a Christian
character and a fine gentlemanly
manner. Although not a rebuke to
any of the previous speakers, the
popular Sports Writer pointed out
wildly that it's wrong to feel that any
race has sole possession of sportsman
ship and that it is noteworthy when a
member of another race shows the
same attributes.
Rev. F. Havis Davis, of Union Bap-
fist Church, Cambridge pointed out
how the race feels toward discrimina-
tory practices. Using Montgomery's

ALL TEACHERS

LOUISVILLE, Ky.-The local school
board in an answer filed in the federal
court here this week, agreed to equalize
the salaries of all colored and white
teachers starting September, 1914.
The answer was filed as a result of
the complaint of Miss Valla Dudley
Arlington, colored school teacher, who
had asked the court for a declaratory
Judgment and an injunction restraining
the payment of less salary to colored
teachers and principals than to whites
in Louisville solely because of race or
color.
