Well, things are no better so
far as Negroes are concerned and
from all indications will remain
deplorable. No barber shops,

Everything that goes to make life
pleasant is. apparently beyond

Tors and restaurants.
Matters may become worse
for us since everybody has heard
how the dormitories used by Ne

that makes me wonder IL defend

BY Nettie J. AsbuIy

In the Letter Box of June 16
there appeared letter by H. ].
McClatchy. In part he says: eve
already have an apparently I'M
solvable Negro problem. Seven
hundred and fifty thousand from
slave ships have grown to 49,
100000 and men have been strik-
ing in war production plants,
rather than permit Negro promo
ton to place former over them.
Why add a half dozen Oriental
problems OF the Negro one?" -
c form a Joint immigration
Committee.
Let us examine the records of
the Afro-American, and see
whether he is a problem or not.
We find that the black man ac-
companied the explorers that an
tedated the coming of the May
flower. Some came to the shores
of North America with Columbus
and a few with Balboa. We find
that Menendez had company of
black men when he founded ST.
Augustine in 1866.
In the Revolutionary war black
men fought heroically and, in
deed, it was the patriotic Crispus
Attacks who drew the first blood
and paid the supreme sacrifice.
At Bunker Hill another black
soldier fired the shot that wound
ed the British officer, Major Pit
cairn. Also at Brandywine beach
a black man, giant in size and
called Samson, bravely charged
the British with only a scythe.
In all it is claimed that 5000
black soldiers saw service in the
Colonial armies.
In the war of 1912 black men
were called to the colors. Com
modore Perry commended the
valor of the black sailors at the
battle of Lake Erie.
In the Civil war, approximately
colored men measured
arms with their white comrades
in the srtife for the preservation
of the Union. President Lincoln

Pays Dividend

The 10th semiannual interest
payment of $4,000 TO 109,515
depositors on June 80. was auth
orized yesterday by the Board Of
Trustees of the Washington Mu-
tual Savings Bank, it was an
nounced by Dietrich Schmitz,
president.
This payment covers earnings
on deposits at the annual rate of
2 percent.
With the present distribution.
total interest payment to deposit
tors since hte bank was founded
81 years ago total $37.S07,0O0.
Total resources of Washington
Mutual Savings Bank at the close
of business yesterday were re-
ported as s96.O0O,OOO. Deposits
were ss9,76S.000. Both deposits
and number of depositors are
high marks in the Banks his
tory.
Authorization was also given
by the Board for the transfer of
$3.50, 200 to the Banks Guaranty
Fund, bringing that account to a
total of 100000.
Increase in deposits since De-
cember 81, 1912 totala $7.25z.-
600.
During the six months period,
as well as continuously since the
inception of War Bond sales, Mr..
schmitz pointed out, the Bank
has placed emphasis on United
States Government Bonds, both
in purchases for its own account
and in making 1t convenient for
Its depositors to buy War Saw
ings issues which are available
for individual investment.
As an example. during the
school year just closed, the Bank
through its School Savings pro-
gram has made available facili-
ties so that 14,145 Seattle school !
students have purchased s345, 900 |
worth of War Bonds.
The practice of thrift, said |
SchmitZ in releasing the Banks
report, has taken on an entirely
new significance under present
conditions. While heretofore the
compelling reason for saving was
to provide for the proverbial
"rainy day, today we are faced
with the fact that unless a much
greater portion of the national
income is invested in War Bonds,
and savings accounts and life In
surance and absorbed by taxes
and thereby kept out of the !
spending stream, this country is
going to be faced with a rise In
prices and an inflationary trend
which will most seriously affect
every man, woman and child.
Saving, he said, is no longer an
individual privilege; it is a ma
tional necessity.
