Of humble perseverance in the interest of cause
Which shall succeed and which shall be the end of fouted

He passed this way his life spent in sacrical toll
In times of peace times Of war; in calm and in turmoil
And now he has to his reward to regions far away
Where souls immortal rest in peace enjoying endless day

In the letter to the the pub

two questions:
/. Win you accept advertising
from department stores,
jewellers, drugstores, and
other such businesses that
deal in women's goods, and
publish said advertising on
the pages of your publica-
tion if they contain illustra-
ions carrying he likeness Of

2. In the sections of yur paper

ted articles concerned with
the latest fashions, house

ETC., would you be willing to
publish, if submitted to you,
articles on these subjects, If
illustrated with the likeness
of colored models?
"Millions of dollars ara spent
annually for the services of
models, Scott said, If you refuse
to allow the likenesses Of colored
models to appear on the pages
of your publication, you limit the
democratic tendency Of the ex-
Of business to employ
colored models. Such being so,
you may be accused of being an
agent operating to hinder the full

women for reasons of race and

Enroute to New York and just

the case because right after
the above pair of incidents a
giant tree was blown down and
a traffic jam enSued. Another

to the roadside and while they

This heroism was much APP
