Night Spots, everybody was talking
about, and everybody that felt
that they knew me well enough,
wanted to talk about, "Porgy and
Bess," and what happened up at
the city Auditorium Thursday
night.
There was the talk about the
girls and women all over town
who had bought the "corsages,"
and those that had made up them
old fashioned bouquets, and those
fancy gowns that they had planned
to wear, some of which came from
up town, and others that would
probably be on the family indebt-

DR.. l.. A. Smith, and his wife, who

Questions put to the secretary

Negro seamen are being utilized
inview of the stepped-up program
Of inductions. The effort was not
entirely successful. 'They arc
being distributed to various train
ing stations wherever they fit in.

declared.
He was asked whether any of
the harbor raft to which he has

On one cold December day
In a rugged box car dying hooo
lay
In the arm of his best pal rested
his head,
While gasping for breath, these are
the words he said;
Pal, oh pal, you're the only one
I can depend on
While dying in this box car far,
far from home,
Pal, I'm going to a better land;
can't you see
There no more fast trains Will
ever bother me.
I've finished cracking doors and
begging for bites to eat
I'm going where milk and honey
forever flow down the street.
Wait! fast trains, slow trains l
do see
They're headed this way; they're
after mel
Pal, oh pal, what must | do?
Don't let them take me, pal, away
from you!
AS he stretched his dying neck
with a moan and groan
His pal had already stolen his hat,
shoes, Socks-and gone.
