SYNOPSIS

Ellery Queen, author-deteetive,
arrived incognito in Wrightsville,
which is humming with war in
dustries. Under the name, "Ellery
Smith," Queen tried to rent a fur
nished house or apartment through
]. c. Pettigrew, real estate man.
&c" says that wartime housing
makes that almost impossible.

vance give me good character, Mr..
Pettigrew?"
"Well, l should smile!" beamed
&c. "You come with me. I've got
exactly the house you're looking
for"
what did you mean by asking
me if I'm superstitious?" asked
Ellery as they climbed into jos
coupe and drove off. as the house
haunted"
"Uh no." said &c. Though
there IS a sort of queer yarn con-
nected with that house-might give
you an idea for one Of your, now,
books, hey?" Mr.. "Smith" agreed;
it might. "This house, it's next

Jim was head cashier at John F.'s

York a couple Of years before with
fine recommendations. Started out
assistant teller, and was making
good. Steady boy, Jim; went to the
library a lot, didn't have much fun,

or standing around band concert
nights with the rest of the boys,
watching the girls parade up and
down eating popcorn, and joshing
'em. Worked hard-plenty of up

stand on his two feet like Jim did.

Mr.. Pettigrew sighed, and Ellery
wondered why such a glowing sub
ject should depress him.

Ellery, to grease the wheels of the
story.

and Jim started to rush her, and

NAACP Fails to
Appreciate Press
Gardner Opines
By Dan Gardner

The National Association for
Advancement of Colored People
has emerged as one of the most
powerful of organized public in
struments on behalf of the Negro.
It's role is enhanced by the magni-
tude of the task it has set out to
accomplish. Today there are few
Negroes who haven't heard or read
about the NAACP. Thus, its i'm
portance is apparent to everyone.
1t has taken unto itself the active
leadership of this nations 100000
900 Negroes and has also assumed
the responsibility with which such
leadership is naturally endowed.
The recognition this organiza-
ton is receiving from the great
American public; the place it has
carved for itself in the world pic
ture gives it stature, heads and
shoulders above competitors. For
these reasons it is we'll that some
one ask a few questions which the
NAACP could we'll listen to.
Among the several that come to
mind is:
Why Such Eloquent Silence?
Why is the NAACP so ominous-
" silent on the role the Negro
Press is playing in the broad effort
to fight the cause of the race? Why
is the NAACP so eloquently quiet
in using it's power to teach the
Negro support of his own-his
business institutions, his organiza-
lions, both private and public that
are wholesome and progressive in
relation to advancement of the
race? Such questions are not
childish. Instead, they are neces-
sary and should be answered. The
Negro Press is mostly responsible
for the position of respect and
power the NAACP enjoys today
Much of its financial support
comes from Negro business institu-
lions and Negro business men.
That the Negro Press and Ne
gro Business need plugging" by
the NAACP is beside the point. All
are necessary to the others in
carrying out common objective,
but Negro Business and the Negro
Press are independent of support
by the NAACP and can exist with
out it as we'll as with it. Bishop
David H. Sims, at the annual con-
ference of the First Episcopal dis
trict of the A. M. E. Church at
Providence, R. l., recently de-
clared; in praising the Negro
Press:
at has been indispensable to the
Negro church. Without it the
NAACP and other Negro organi-

cations would have been unable to
function. I have found the Negro
Press criticism of the church
constructive and not destructive.
AS long as the church and the
press stand together the white man
will know he has to listen to US
and give US our just place in the
postwar world"

Attitude Basic and Sound

Attitude Basic and Sound
Such a statement is profound in
it's intent, practical in its applica-
ton when such high clerical fig
ure pauses to pay his respects and
compliments to the institution that
has labored most for complete
emancipation of the American Ne
gro and the Negro all over the
world. The attitude of cooperation
and gratitude expressed by Bishop
Sims is basic and sound. It gives
the Negro Press the courage to
carry on; it spurs our editors and
writer's to further effort on behalf
of the church.
An organization such as the
NAACP can ill-afford to continue
to ignore its most vocal supporter.
Somewhere down the line there
must be an accounting and the
longer it is put off the more diff
cult it will be. In another month
or so the NAACP will pick the
winner of its famous Spingarn
Medal for 1914 instituted by the
late Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of
the board of directors of the
NAACP in 1914.
Du Bots Only Newsman HOnOred
The awards, which are gold
medals, are given each year to the
Negro who, according to the board,
shall have reached the highest
achievement in his field of activity
in Negro journalism. Only DIR.
William E. Burghardt Du Bots,
then editor of the NAACP's Crisis,
has been singled out for the award.
The NAACP has not as yet seen fit
to recognize the achievement of
Negro newspapermen in this con-
nection. It has not honored a
single Negro editor of a news
paper, despite the fact that these
are the men responsible, more or
less, for the existence of that Or
ganization and for it's continued
favor in the public eye. And it can
not be said that among the many
outstanding Negro editors and
publishers there is not a single
one worthy of the NAACP's annual
tribute. The courage of the
Louisiana Weekly's DeJoie; the
craftsmanship of the Kansas City
Calls Franklin; the tireless efforts
of the Cleveland Calls Walker; the
Louisville Defenders Stanley; the
California Sentinel's Washington
all these attributes of those in
volved in the common struggle
should be recognized and properly
evaluated.
