BY Walter ]. Stevens

The other day 1 tuned in on
WBz at 1890 p. m. and heard
the well known Marjorie Mills
broadcast her program. Usually
Marjorie is quite pleasant and
inoffensiye with her homespun
philosophy, but when she starts
telling jokes, she becomes like
many other radio commentators,
garrulouS and loose talking. Her
story abou THE two little COL
ored boys was, in effect, that a
colored child's age can be gagged
by his interest in women. If he
is five years old he is interested.
and if he has no such interest
he is only four. Of course, Mar
jorie told the story in dialect. 1t
Just goes to show how little most
white folks know about our race.
The writer in all of his expert
ence in Community work in
Harlem, handling hundreds Of
children, cannot recall having
heard one child saying Il is"
and you is" in conversation.

to convey that a colored child

With all of her love for the
colored race it never occurred to
this lady that if such a story
had to be told it could have been
done without any racial desig-
nation. Walter Winchell, the

to hold up various race groups

Perfection is a goal to which
all aspire but FIVE if any achieve,

such a course.

CoLoRED COWBOYS have
