ORGANIZATION APPEALS
TO CLERGY TO
SPREAD DEMOCRACY

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
An appeal to clergymen, priests
and rabbis of America to "call the
people together to help abolish in
dustrial slavery, give our returning
soldiers of all races a democracy
in reality, and help make Ameri-
cans realize that America is for all
of us to share and enjoy" has been
sent out by the National Industrial
Justice Association.
The Association has headquarters
in Washington, and is recently
organized. In its message, it asks
if there is a greater home mis-
sionary work to be done than the
spreading of democratic principles.
Much of the foreign missionary
money sent to Africa" it says, ito
convert the Negroes in Africa to
Christianity has been wasted be-
cause when the Negro leaders in
Africa communicate with the Ne
gro leaders in America they dis
cover that all Christian churches
do not practice Christianity to the
American Negroes as their mis-
sionaries profess and practice it in
Africa"
1t urges the ministers and priests
of Christianity and the rabbis to
talk to their members, awaken,
arouse, unity and enthuse them, to
speak on programs and to stand up
publicly on radio programs and

Congress; and it now is preparing
to sponsor an FEPC Bill in the
legislature of one of our border
states.
Its Civil Rights Committee pre-
pared a Brief Anxious Curiae in the
Little Rock Teachers Salary Case
which was so ably presented last
week before the United States Cir

now rendering assistance in a Re-
strictive Covenant Case pending in
the Courts of the District of Co
lumbia. Legal aspects of the CT
Act of Veteran Aid is also receiv-

Although a comparatively young
organization, its program has at
tracted the attention of the best
legal minds of our race nearly all
of whom belong and are very &C
tive members including our several
judges, legislators and other public
officials. Because of it's talent and
equipment it is felt that this or
ganization will be able to handle
effectively in the very near future
many of the problems confronting
US.
Once each year our public is in
formed of the activities of the Ma
tional Bar Association through its
celebration of National Bar Week

National Bar !
Assn Observing
Annual Week

Throughout the country during
this week the attention of our pub
lie is being directed to the activities
of the National Bar Association.
In August, 1925, the late George
H. Woodson of Des Moines, Iowa,
persuaded the Iowa Negro Bar AS
ISOLATION to issue a call for a meet
ing for the purpose of organizing
a national bar association. Those
who responded were Judge Wendell
E. Green, William H. Haynes, C.
Francis Stradford and Jesse N.
Baker of Chicago, Illinois; l..
Amasa Knox and Charles H. Gallo
way of Kansas City, Missouri;
Mrs. Gertrude Rush, James B.
Morris, S. Joe Brown and Charles
P. Howard of Iowa. The National
Bar Association was organized and
soon incorporated under the laws of
the State of Iowa. Mr.. Woodson
became its first President.
Its first annual meeting was held
in Chicago, Illinois, in 1926.
Immediately this new organiza-
ton received enthusiastic response
and support from our lawyers
throughout the country and in a
very short time local branches
were formed in most of the large
centers. Today, approximately 45
per cent of the 1,200 Negro lawyers
in the United States are members
of the National Bar Association.
Membership in the National Bar
Association is not limited or re-
stricted to any race or group. At
the annual conventions may be seen
lawyers of all races actively partici-
pating in the various deliberations
and taking part on the different
programs. The journal of the or
ganization of which Attorney Sid
ney Redmond of St. Louis, Mis-
souri,, is Editor is a work of pride
and distinction that compares with
the very best.
The National Bar Association
has taken an active interest against
racial discrimination. During the
past several weeks it has taken an
active part in the Fair Employment
Practice hearings recently held in
Pennsylvania, and has participated
in hearings on the Educational Bill

THE Able WALLACE SERVICE

D. M. L.: May I congratulate
you on your fine work. l have been
reading your column for number
of years. I have made up my mind
to ask you for some help. 1 have
been going with this friend for
year and six months. He is in ser
vice now somewhere in the Pacific.
He says he loves me and 1 know
that I love him. We have everything
in common with the exception of
this. We are two different religious
faiths. He wants me to marry him
as soon as he returns. Do you think
we could make a go of things with
only this one obstacle in our way?
Ans: That depends entirely upon
whether you two are broad enough
to appreciate each others differ
ence of opinion. Many couples have
found true marital happiness de-
spite a difference in faith but to
do SO you must remain broad
minded and unselfsh in dealing
with this delicate problem. If your
potential mate does not choose to
give up his faith and if you do not
wish to sacrifice your own, there
is still an even chance that you
can find true happiness together if
You enter this marriage with this
understanding and never allow the
matter to become an issue to argue
about. Open discussions on this
subject could lead to a serious mis-
understanding.
K. P. L.: I get letters from
soldier whom I have never seen. He
wants to give me trip out there
where he is and also wants me to
marry him. 1 do care for him be-
cause he writes such sweet letters.
I am asking your advice as to
whether I should go or not.
Ans: Visiting a man whom you
have never seen is not recommend
ed. Neither should two people be-
come as serious as you two until
you have had the chance to become
personally acquainted. You have
no way Of knowing if this man
loves you or if you return his love
as you have never met. If and when
he gets q leave, invite him to your
town SO that you two may become
closer acquainted. It's best not to
make a decision about him until
you two meet face to face.
L. D.: My husband went out
west in July and promised me so
many things he was going to do
but has failed me. Recently he
wrote me to get ready to come out
there and I am puzzled over Won
dering will he be better husband
to me and our two kids. Should I

In going over the names of some
Of the railroad men, it seems every
individual shows a marked differ
ence in personality, which is why,
when congregated they make an
exceptional group.
Paul Moore, with a religious
manner; Dick Parker, a fellow who
likes to disagree, to start a friendly
argument; Ray Adams, proprietor
of the "Pink Lady" is very quiet,
and well-liked; Roger Bryant, who
makes you think of the expression,
"Still water runs, deep; Harvey
Harris, pretty fair looking, and a
neat dresser; N. S. Smith, the car
toonist, who belongs in the class
Strictly family man; Cal. Hum
burd, calm and subdued; Nightly"
Bradley, who always says, "He's
my boy"; Aaron Prior, and his pipe,
are inseparable; Torrance Pugh,
the ikable young fellow, who is al
ways the same; Raleigh Humburd,
good counsellor, with good COM
mon sense, and David "Jake" Scott,
smooth-shaven, and smooth-look-
ing.
Then there is Jimmy Allen,
smart, good company, very toler-
ant, and a good guy; Henry Ross,
fine old gentleman; "Sike," who
dances, too; "Jitterbug" who is
just the man to "pinch-hit" for
Duke Don, and his 1--WE column;
Ray Williams, the flashy dresser,
from Kentucky; Nose Brown, with
his long cigaret holder; Booker
Page, the friendly man; Rufus

go or remain here?
Ans: You can't expect a con-
genial home life unless you and
your husband live together. Give
him the opportunity to provide a
home for you and the boys. If he
has permanent work where he is
located now, then it will be your
duty to join him and make your
home with him. Your husband has
been handicapped in maintaining
two homes and it will be less ex-
pensive when you two have home
together.
L. B. L.: want to tell you about
my annoying problem. 1 am 10 and
my boy friend is %. A boy of 10
was coming to see me before met
the older boy. 1 didn't tell him
about his coming. l told the young
er boy not to come any more as
l loved the older boy dearly. met
the younger boy one day and while
talking, the other fellow came up
in his car and now he wants to
quit because he says I've been do
ing this all along behind his back.
I really love him so what must I
do to prove to him that 1 really
love him and not the other young
fellow?
Ans: Your friend has no right
to mOnOpOlize all of your time
when you are not engaged. This
sort of authority is just plain
jealousy. Sometimes it takes a
little competition to make a fellow
open his eyes and appreciate what
he has at his finger tips. Don't let
his actions offend you because if
he is serious and wants to mean
anything in your life, he will not
let the above episode come perma-
nently between you two. A girl
should be friendly and cordial to
all the young people if she is to
remain popular.

the matter of segregation, is far
