Derby has been run, the Negro
tots of Little Rock are still coop
ed up in back yards and playing
in the streets, the eolored troops
formerly stationed at Camp Rob-
inson have cleared out, and the To-
cal lads are getting a break for
the first time with the female
auxiliary of the local morale as
sociation, and yours truly is back
from Louisville, older, broker
and wiser and John l.. Lewis has
started the production Of coal
again and the United States Treas
ury is over thirteen billion dollars
richer and the Taxpayers have
started making reservations for
the poor house and Mr.. Roosevelt
has just completed an inspection
tour, which brought him to Lit
tie Rock and the local police have
just unearthed bootlegging JOINT
at 10th and Broadway and con-
fiscated 1903 pints of booze
This, ladies and gentlemen is just
part of the things that have hap
pened while IN. j. was away.
The reduction in the production
of liquors doesn't seem to have
any effect on the Little Rockians
who chose to imhibe freely accord
ing to the Police blotter and Meth,
err did the End War Loan affect
the chance boys IN the handling
of their organization according to
of funds to further the activities
the tax receipt and the gaso-
line consumption of "black maria
that made an unusual number Of
trips to the chance boys terri
tory over the weekend
Failure on the part of the Big
Wigs of the race to get the
youngsters the proper facilities
for recreation has sent an un-
usual number to the Juvenile
Court for lettering around public
places in search Of someone who
had i dime to spend that would
afford any kind of amusement
that in all probabilities would
wind up in USPHC or in some
hospital under ether. an. j. is
waiting and bordering in medi-
tative silence as to how long the
big Wigs will wrangle over
the recreation situation as to
whom viii get honor or will they
go ahead and get the youngsters
u recreation ground where they
can letl IlcS W CAtiA'ot tHCii
selves without keeping the motor
lists in jeopardy Of striking one
every time he runs into the street
to retrieve a passed bass, and save
the officers the embarrassment Of
loading the teen age girls into
patrol wagons for seeking amuse-
ment in places they shouldn't. I'm.
j. would appreciate some action
on this most important subject
as the schools of the city are right
on the verge of turning them
loose.
Among those whom the delay
in recreation facilities will be of
very little benefit and who this
week faced stern judge for be-
ing where they shouldn't and
hunting what they didn't need
were: Jewel Custom, 800 w. 22nd,
NLR-$10; Bernice Stringer, 922
w. 10th. $40; Emma Lee Wallace,
307 Cedar and Willie Mae Meek
err, 1915 e. 9th, MIR, $40 each;
Rosa Lee Jackson, alias Lille Mae
Jackson, 1101 Il. End to County
Farm, All of these met the blue
coats at 9th and Gaines.
Many people like pretty things,
but most prefer buying them, but
not in the case of Helen White,
1910 w. l4th, and for that rea-
son, Helen doesn't belong to Helen
for the time being, but to the
city
What started out to be an even
ing Of fun wound up around about
midnight in the hoosgow for this
party, because the city has an
ordinance for certain things to be
done in certain places, and any
thing other than certain things
makes it bad end and so was the
case of Sammie Soles, 1407 High;
Irine Phillips, 2216 Main; Tom
mic Rufus, 1852 Cross ard Ruby
Jones, 1406 S. Poplar, MIR, $40
each.
Among the morale members who
are off to Hot Springs for the
summer are: Della Mae keaton,
2124 Madison; Matte Madison,
800 W. End; Allen Wadlow, 923
