to let them know 1t was alright

evening.
However, Mr.. and Mrs. Bedford
vetoed that arrangement, and it
was shared by the dozen other
mothers and daddy's who had
no idea OF appearing in juven-

New Apartments

The report of the purchase of
a large apartment at 18th and
East Madison by Race men left
Seattleites agog during the past
week. The rumor carried with it
the possible addition of other
apartment buildings. If the apart
ments contemplated are erected
in the East Madison district, the
probability is they will contain
no restrictive covenants.
The men behind the move are
sad to be well financed and the
contemplated apartments are to
be of the latest design and in
many respect unique.
The apartment at 18th and E..
Madison carry no restrictions and
with few exceptions are occupied
by whites. The requirements of
the applicants are such that will
make them exclusive.

Clare Luce Boothe, whose beauty

sion of George Washington Carver
Day.

Should we admire George Wash

Certainly, she said, because the
fact of his lowly birth and of
the discrimination and hatred
practised against him make it ali
the more significant that he could
become the foremost humanitarian
of his day and go down in history
as one of the worlds greatest
men.
Should we admire him as a
scientist, regardless of his racial
heritage, she asked. Certainly, she
replied, because the contributions
he made to science and to agricul-

made by any other great man of
