Nurses Bill Carries
No Jim Crow Clause
AKA Lobby
Takes Lead
In Campaign

WASHINGTON, d. c. - (SNS)
The National Partisan
Council on Public Affairs of the
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority
scored another victory this week
when they were able to get an an
ti-discrimination amendment in
the Nurses Training Bill.
The amendment was introduced
Monday, June 4, by Senator War
rem Barbour, Republican Senator
of New Jersey. So thorough had
been the canvas of the Senate by
Mrs. Thomasina Walker johnson,
able lobbyist of the Council on
Public Affairs, that the amend
ment, went through without a dis
senting vote.
The bill had previously passed
the House of Representatives
without the necessary amendments
and when the amendments were
added in the Senate, there was
much apprehension lest the House
refuse to accept the amendments
of the Senate.
Mrs. Johnson then began a cam
paign to have the House accept the
amendments. The job that she did
there was so effective that con-
ferees were not even appointed and
the amendments accepted in full.
The amendment reads that in the
Nurses Training Act, THAT there
shall be no discrimination in the
administration of the benefits and
appropriations made under the re-
spective provisions of this act, on
account of race, creed or color"
The National Association of Col
ored Graduate Nurses, under the
leadership of Mrs Mabel K. Staup-
erS, supported the amendments.

Too bad. / know a chap who was
crazy about a girl until he noticed
that a button on her coat was put

DAILY BATH NEEDED
There's something for the care
less girl to think about. You know
her. Easy going, good-natured, but
not up to snuff regarding dainti-
ness of person. Think she can skip
the daily bath if she uses plenty
of perfume. Has powder marks on
her collar, stray hairs on her shoul-
der. That sort of thing won't do.
The standard of grooming is high.
1t is expected that a girl shall be
fastidious about appearance.
Prince charming can overlook a
lot of faults; maybe he thinks they
are cute. But SOiled finger nails,
spotty makeup, purses that are a

Too Young To
Love- Girl Is
Told By Sue
Dear Sue Leaf:

/ am 16-year-old school girl,
very much in love with a 16-year-
old school boy. We have. been lovers
since we were thirteen years old.
About five or six months ago, he
started cutting out on me. He tells
me that he loves me but he takes
another girl out and dates her. 1t
doesn't matter how much tell him
about her, he still goes with her.
Please tell me what to do. Is
he trying to 1--WE me? Very seldom
he comes to see me. Must I cut
off from him or keep on doing like
I am with him?
Pelase tell me what to do.
Reta.
Yours is the folly of taking
boys too seriously too young.
There seems to be an under
current in your letter and
do hope 1 am mistaken, but
there certainly is no need to
pine away for 16-year-old
bOyfriend. You no doubt hove
given the fellow reason to be-
come tired of you and this love
affair. So you may as well for
get about him and study your
lessons while. You will have
time to get you another fellow
and don't fall in love SO
quickly and deeply.

Careless Deb Will Find Self
Behind In Race Of Romance

I walked out of her life and never
came back
NECK NOT CLEAN
It'll tell you why. One day the
thought came to me that I'd like
to kiss the back of her neck. She
was bending over, tying her shoe
lace. And what do you think? Her
neck was not strictly clean. And
her hair had sour order that hair
has when it isn't washed often. A
few minutes later she dragged
out a powder pad that looked some
thing like the dog had dug up.
That settled me, for keeps. I never
saw her again"
Until that time l was for asking
her to marry me-" he continued,
but [ knew what I would be in
for. An untidy home, a sloppy
looking wife with scrambled hair,

with my problem.

married, but my husband has been
away from me for three years.

with a married man. Now my hus-
band has returned but I still love

he goes out and spends the night.

that you are not in love with

would get someone else if your
husband stayed away three
years, but why pick married
man? Why did you take your
husband back if you did not
mean to do the right thing by
him? On the other hand, he is
going to treat you just as he
pieases unless you do some-
thing about it yourself. But
you should first get straight
yourself. He, perhaps, has
neard OF your affair with the
otner man, and does not care
what you do, and feels that
you do not have any right to
question what he does.
In the first place, when Won
went back together, you both
should have talked over the
circumstances and made Mans

would not do and stuck tn

Don't Poison
Our Bird Friends

Numerous calls have been
received by THE SENTINEL pro-
testing the use of poison in
the lime used to dust vegeta-
BILE gardens. Many song birds
have been found dead, presum-
ably killed by the poison. A
resident of Rockville Pike is
grieving over the loss Of a
pair of cardinals that had
lived in her yard for five
years.
It has been pointed out that
birds destroy great number of
grubs, worms and insects and
the gardener is defeating his
purpose when he uses a dust
that kills birds. 1t is said
that plain lime dust applied
both under and on top of the
leafy plant will be just as
effective as that containing
poison.

Mr.. Gompers has not been dead

To make statements contrary
