cred with honors and awards. In
1912, he won the Spingard Award

white, were invited to draw up a
list of the greatest living Negroes,

Up until 1925, when Randolph
was SO years old, he was a writer
and lecturer. In that year, when

An Opportunity Knocks

This is still the golden age of opportunities. Why not
grasp them every wideawake American with vision to
the future should take full advantage when possible The
prevailing prosperity has enabled the Negro as whole
to grasp opportunities which heretofore have been beyond
his reach.
In years past there have been comparatively few OF
us who have been able to buy stocks in which
served the needs of the public and which had little chance
of failing. Such opportunities gobbled up by men
with big which left the wildcat scheme to the Ne
gro who had only dollar or two to spare
This has discouraged most of the would be investors
among Negroes though the proposition was sound
there was not sufficient amount of money behind 1t to
make it pay. 49,,
The type of theatre which is contemplated to be estao
shed here and throughout the country by the National
Theatres Inc of Phoenix, offers mighty fine opportun-
v for Negro investors chance like this is because
moving picture theatres have always been safe invest
ment consequently have been financed by big moneyed
80 f..
It seems that would be very wise for every Negro in
Phoenix who has an extra hundred dollars to spare to IN
vesgate and take this chance of getting in on the ground
floor of deal which is sure to go over big.
80 of all theatres patronzed by Negroes IN the
country are onwed and controlled solely by whites who die
tate their policy and supply the money for the IN
vestment.
All thcy settled neighborhoods asking for places
of The West side needs also the East sde
In the near future, from all indications there Will oe
need theatre East Broadway and Okemah district
Why not invest in the things which people want and Will
have if you have chance 1t will mean much more than
merely drawing interest investment 1t Will mean
you will have chance to dictate policies too.

Ernst Seeks
Settlement OF
Hotel Dispute

General President Hugo Ernst
of the Hotel and Restaurant En-
ployees' international Alliance and
Bartenders' International League
of America, arrived in Phoenix
Tuesday night and will remain
several days in an all-out attempt
to settle the long-standing dispute
between local union No. 631 and
the Hotel Westward Ho, which
began last November 7.
Mr.. Ernst is scheduled to meet
with representatives of the hotel
today, but it was said none of the
top hotel officials were in the city,
and it is not known whether any
definite settlement can be made
until they return. Mr.. Ernst said,
however, he would stay in the city
as long as necessary in order to eff
feet a settlement. He said the In
ternational Union would use all of
its resources in the fight on the big
hotel unless a settlement was made,
or until the last penny available to
the hotel has been spent"
He also said the picket lines
would not be lifted for the COM
ing convention of the Reclama-
ton Association.

Employment Remains
Stable in State

Employment in Arizona is re-
manning stable, with monthly in
creases over corresponding periods
in 1916, according ito joint re-
port issued by Bruce Parkinson,
rector of the Employment Security
Unemployment Compensation Di-
Commission, and William A. Bled-
soc, Regional Director of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. The
figure for employment in Septem-
Der is on level with August en-
ployment and exceeds September
1916 by Is per cent.
During the first nine months of
the year there has been little
fluctuation in employment with
each month exceeding the 1916
figure for each industry. Total
workers in the state were approx
mately $4,000 during August and
September.

pare, doesn't it? It's not, - now
that you can use an Ever-Ready

most of the drudgery out Of the
preparation Of hot breads. In this
time-saving homemade blend, all
the preliminary mixing for several

the blena is stored in the refrigera-
tor where it keeps for three to four
weeks, ready for biscuits, waffles,
pancakes, or scrumptious recipes
like the Fruit Filled Coffee Cake
given here.
Hot breads add zest to any meal,
especially when they are homemade
and more especially when they are
full of sugar n spice and every

What about vitamins for my
baby? This is q question which
hundreds of mothers ask. I think
all of us today realize that vitamins
play an important part in con-
tributing to our health and welfare.
Baby's health is, of course, the
major concern Of every parent, and
e. while very serious diseases do
result from vitamin deficiencies {.
you American mothers who feed
your infants properly have no cause
to be alarmed.
Remember that no one food can
supply all the qualities needed for
your baby's growth and develop
ment. Milk, for instance, has been
called mans most complete single
food. And liver has been more re-
gently found to be a most complete
food. But neither of these excellent
foods supplies all the essential nu-
trients. That's why your own doctor
will advise you to supplement your
baby's milk diet at a very early age.
Today's baby receives solid foods
earlier than ever before because it
has been found that babies thrive
on a variety of natural foods.
Like vegetables and cereals,
meat, too, is being fed at a very
early age. Of course, it must be
properly prepared for baby's diges-
ton. 1t has to be cooked carefully
excess fat .removed-and, of
course, only selected cuts used. And
naturally for very small babies
straining is necessary. You'll be
glad to know that you can obtain
canned meat ready prepared for
baby. These meats-the same kind
you serve on your table-are made
to doctors specifications and ap-
proved by the American Medical
Association, and mothers who've
used them are enthusiastic over the
way their babies have thrived.

on the designs that come to ligh'

ishing operations.
The great bulk Of the Agate
Shops merchandise is retailed, al
though some items are sold
through wholesale channels, and
much more could be.
Another product of the company
is a Lapidary's Machine, used for
processing the rough Agate
through to its final form. En-
thusiasts and experts throughout
the Northwest order the machines,
which are built on order.
The Rock Hound hobby, the
partners maintain, is one of the
finest, because it can be pursued
at any time - on week end
jaunts or vacations. There's al
ways the chance of finding a val
ued specimen, and then there's
still the fun ahead of creating a
BEAUTIFUL ornament of the Agate
working craft.

Agate Shop Is Factory for Creation
OF Many Beautiful Unique Products

There's business on the River
Road that the Rock Hounds built
And, although "Rock Hounds
sound at first blush like pretty
formidable creatures, closer .ex-
animation reveals them to be en-
tirely harmless, but intensely in
ftereSted in the collection of cur
ious rocks and petrified woods.
Macs Agate Shop is the bust
ness that grew from the Rock
Hound hobby. Clyde and Essie
McElroy and Everett and Julia
Eberly, working as partners, have
built it into thriving enterprise
that suits them just as it is, al
though they could easily expand
it to greater production.
The Eberlys and the McElroys
are all expert Lapidaries, and ev-
en- IL year old Donna McElroy is
BEGINNING to show great skill In
her work with jewelry and desk
sets. ~
Many of the unique rings, jew
elry items, and desk sets are made
of polished Agate, mounted in
gold or silver. As matter of fact,
say the partners, the Rock Hound
hobby has reached such proper
tons in America in the past few
years that the Agate capital of
the world has shifted from Germ
any to the United States.
Last May, Herbert c. Lanks,
of Inter-American Features, Jen-
kintown, Pa, came to Kennewick
to speak to the student body of
the public schools. While here,
he became greatly interestd in
the Agate Shop, and took many
pictures of its intricate operations.
The feature article that result
ed from his visit appeared on May
Is in the Philadelphia Inquirer
under the title of bringing The
Beauty of Agate to Light. Lank's
photography and story described
the various steps in the creation
of the small factory's unusual out
put.
Because Rock Hounds, like
many another cult of lobbyists,
form their own nationwide fra
ternity, many letters were written
to the partners from all parts of
the country. ...-@r
Agate abounds in the North
west, and the Nc Elroys and Eb-

specimens. The value of the fin
