HOLIDAY IN REALITY
(KNS) Monday, Jan. II, the
whole United States for the first
time in over 10 years had no
"digits' since they depend on
the prices paid at the pari-mu-
fuels.
Millions of dollars we're saved
both on the horses and the
numbers" Here in Boston a
Holiday that was a holiday was
really in effect.
The usual places that appear
legitimate were closed and the
reason is there were mo num-
bers today" We saved moth
ing, we had only two cents in
our pockets.
The real reason for the holi-
day is that only one race track
is now in operation in the
United States. That race track
is in New Orleans, Louisiana
and in tina state no racing is
held on Mondays, so watch out
for your money on Mondays for
a while.
TRYING TO STEAL"
MARION ANDERSON
(KNS) Do you realize white
people of Boston are trying to
"steal" Marian Anderson from
us colored Bostonians? Well,
they are because they bought
their tickets early and as re-
suit fully eighty per cent of the
audience at Symphony Hall on
Sunday afternoon, Jan. 10, were
white while some colored per-
sons who procrastinated were
offering as much as Ave dollars
for a ticket at the door and
could not get ticket.

Mrs johnson is no stranger 10
Bostonians, although she has

ate Of Temple University Of

served as a school teacher in

doors Of legislative halls, har-
aSsed the Congressman and
paiged the Senators, as the
first race Woman Lobbyist of
the Alpha Kappa Sorority. 1t

Can't Understand Fuller

In view of the treatment Of
Luther N. Fuller it is not diff
cult to understand why so many
Colored Christians have been
reluctant TO sign up as army
chaplains as has been evident
from the many desperate ap-
peals for more men. The zap
peasement7 of certain other
chaplains has been the discour-
aging picture Of this and the
last war. Such men win never
understand a man like Chaplain
Fuller. Fuller had-if We may
use the WORKOUTS. Fuller work
ed for the physical and mental
as well as spiritual welfare Of
his Colcred troops. Fuller
COULD have kept quiet and got
money and security and watch
ed his men go to hell. But he
didn't. Luther N. Fuller is a
true son Of Massachusetts, and
we're proud Of him. Other Army
chaplains who are supposed to
be serving God-and not per-
sonal ambitions-ought to be
utterly ashamed for not making
the same announcements Of
evils that Fuller made. Or do
some men fear southern tyrantS
more than they fear the Lord?
Let them ask themselves.

The children grew up in ex-
citing surroundings. Names
which stud the pages Of history
and the libraries throughout
the world were living people
who came TO the house to dine
and talk. Baroness Burdette
CouttS, a personal friend of
Queen Victoria and a lady much
linked with the Duke Of Well
ington, was Natalie's Godmoth-
er. This great English woman,
head Of a bank, through inner
itance. was knighted by Queen
Victoria for her philanthropic
work, her interest in helping the
struggling artist and writer. To
Baroness Coutts, Dickens and
Henry Irving owed their oppor-
tunities. And today, an auto
graphed photo OF the woman
holds a place of honor at Saint
Briavel. Her stern but tolerant
portrait looks well in the sea-
scented sunlight of Gloucester,
Massachusetts,. It looks at
home.
Mother Hammond taught
Natalie needlepoint. Father
Hammond instructed the child
rem. Natalie included, in geology
and woodcraft. Work and chores
were as much a part Of the
family day as they are in any
large family. At night, as Ma
tale grew older, she was per-
nnitted to sit quietly while the
guests conversed. During resi-
dence in England, Kipling came
often to the Hammond home,

the rule, not the exception. Ex-
cept for themselves. the children
had few "chums'' with whom
to swap condolences. Living

friends. The children were
thrown on themselves for anu
sement and individual interests
Since a certain part Of each day
was set aside fer constructive
work. it is not surprising that
Natalie's talent for drawing de-
velops into a critic-approved
talent for painting. It is not
surprising. too that John Hays
