The Paraguay Ambassador and

busy days entertaining-as infor-
mally as their colleagues-the Para
quay Ambassador to Mexico, Senior
Juan Manuel Alvarez, and Sonora
de Alvarez. The visitors arrived last
week and are staying at the Hotel
Statler for 10 days or so and will
go on to New York before returning

cation in this country.
Other diplomats travelling to and
from the National Capital include
the Brazilian Ambassador, Senior
Carlos Martins, who is expected
back this week from Rio de Janeiro,
where he and Senhora de Martins
have been for a short vacation.
Senhora de Martins, who was &C
companied to South America by
Mrs. James v. Forrestal, wife of

at 2400 Sixteenth street. Col. and
Sonora de Munilla had a short vaca-

Senor Roberto Castillo, arrived a
day or so ago to assume his new
duties. He will be joined later in
the autumn by Sonora de Castillo,
who is visiting relatives in Honduras

ways chosen by the House of Mercy

such as useful shopping bags Of un-
usual durability and original de-
sign, and dainty pincushions and
knickknacks fashioned of real lace
and embroidery. This new feature
is sponsored by Mrs. William D.
Connor, wife of Maj. Gen. Connor.
Her committee consists of Mrs. Will
liam Frederick Pearson, Mrs. Isaac
Mann, Mrs. Harry Cootes and Mrs.
P. Lee Phillips.

and descriptions were made by the
girls themselves-unmarried moth
ers who are given home and care
for themselves and babies for one
year under the spiritual guidance
of Deaconess Yeo-for 40 years in
charge of the House of Mercy.
Visitors will be shown around the
house, and the work of the organ
ization explained to them by Mrs.

RESOLUTION OF RESPECT
Whist the Civic improvement AS
sociafion Thought About
Rev. Titus

In spite of the inealculable
changes and handicaps that took
place during the period of years
required by this noble life to
reach the state of serenity, many
of the essential foods for good
society were stored up, but with
limited chances for racial distri-
button. The march of time be-
cause of war needs, introduced a
program into the ghost town of
Pascagoula, requiring the services
of men and women from the four
corners of the nation. Among
these, a portion of representative
leaders were chosen to organize
the Pascagoula Civic Improve
ment Association, of which Rev.
S. W. Titus, pastor of the Antioch
Baptist Church, was in the max
ing.
While on the decline, passing
down the slopes of life, distribut-
ing among his humble people the
rich deposits of his early collec-
tion of political advantages, and
the experience of organization, he
advocated vocational and profess
sional education for the advance
ment of the Negro. He recon-
mended the use of the ballot as
the major means of securing last
ing peace and good will among
the races of men and dedicated
his life later. toward the devel-
opment and the perpetuation of
his people. Through the process
of the diminishing of the returns
OF a useful life, his, was worthy
of a certain saying: HE Lived in
Deeds, Not Years, In Thoughts,
MOI Breaths." Though he Sleep
eth, his spirit will ever live in
the hearts of those whom he
served.
