A Mothers Euening
of Life
BY A. l.. JOHNSON

There she sits, the old Christian
mother, ripe for Heaven. Her eye
sight is almost gone, but the splen-
dors of the Celestial City kindle up
her vision. The gray light of Heav-
ems morn has struck through the
gray locks which are folded back
over the wrinkled temples. She
stoops very much now under the
burden or care she used to carry
for her children. She sits at home,
too old to find her way to the house
of God; but while she sits there all
the past comes back, and the chill
dren who forty years ago tripped
around her armchair with their
griefs, joys and sorrows-those
children are gone now. Some were
caught up into better realm,
where they shall never die, and 9TH
ers are out in the broad world,
testing the excellency of a Chris
tian Mothers discipline. Her last
days are full of peace and calmer
and sweeter will her spirit become,
until the gates of life shall life and
pass the worn-out pilgrim into
eternal springtide and youth, where
the limbs never ache nor the eyes
grow dim. A mother returned to
the mother heart of God.

Unanimous Vote Of Six
y. S. Supre m e Court
Judqes Kills r Residential
Restricted Covenant

The Negroes fight against the
restricted residential venant
which has been before the Supreme
Court for some time was won. This
decision was favorably decided by
the Supreme Court by a vote of
CO.
The Courts exact finding was
that such agreements do not vio-
late the Constitution if compliance
is voluntary, but that no federal,
state or local government can aid
in their enforcement.
Three Justices, Jackson, Reed
and Ruthledge disqualified them
selves from ruling on the issue be-
cause they reside in districts where
such covenants are in full effect.
Chief Justice Vinson for the
court majority declared tn t
whatever else the trainers (of the
Constitution sought to achieve, it
is clear that the matter of primary
concern was equality in basic civil
and political rights" He said, "the
18th Amendment clearly was de-
signed to protect citizens from
discriminatory action on the part
of the states based on sconSidera-
tions of race and color.
Justice Vinson ridiculed the ar
gument that restrictive covenants
were not discriminatory against
Negroes because they could be en-
forced also against Indians, Jews,
Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans and
Filipinos.
The Chief Justice declared:
Equal protection of the laws is
not achieved through indiscrimi-
nate imposition of inequalities"
Hundreds of such cases which
were pending throughout the Unit
ed States were effected by this rul-
ing handed down by the Supreme
Court, last Tuesday.
This test case was brought to the
high court on the appeals of Mr..
and Mrs. J. D. Shelly, of st. Louis,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Orsel McGhee,
of Detroit.
California court dockets are full
of restricted covenant cases, two
of which were outstanding.
In the first, before the late Judge
Ruben S. Schmidt, Mrs. Isabel
Crocker, a Seneca Indian, was or
dered to vacate her home at 435
North Westbourne drive, West
Hollywood.
Judge Schmidt ruled title re-
strictions denied occupancy to nom
Caucasians, although Mrs. Crock
er's husband, Harry w. Crocker,
was white. This case is pending be
fore the State Supreme Court on
contention Judge Schmidt's decl-
sion was shabby and un-Amerl-
can"
But Judge Thurmond Clark
ruled as unconstitutional race re-
strictions in the West Adams
Heights district which were un-
challenged by prominent Negroes,
including Hattie Mcdaniel and
Ethel Waters.

Profile Of A
True Mother
dedicated to Mrs. Priscilla

Dedicated to Mrs. Priscilla
Pittman.)
AS I behold you Mother dear
On this your special day,
May recount with words of cheer
The price you've had to pay.
The price you've had to pay to be
The Mother you have been,
Your tears and prayers have guild
ed me
Need I a better friend?
Your tender hands-a Mothers
touch
Have pointed out the way.
Your blessings all, have meant so
much
I know I can't repay.
Your feet have tramped the right
eous path
To help both young and old,
Your praying heart has ached with
wrath,
And bled in times untold.
Your smiles at times have been
erased
To make way for tears;
But there are charms upon your
face
That can't be moved with years.
When I think of you my dear,
Of the Cross you've had to bear
I know the Maker keeps you here
For being so good and fair.
If every Mother were just as you
So true to God and man,
This would be Heaven too,
Or the promised Promise Land.

husband by the arm and marched
him off to the local psychiatrist.

wipe his brow when up came Joe
Spinucci, who said he was tired
of sleeping in the coal bin and
would His Honor please make
Mrs. Spinucci let him sleep in his
bed again?
No Cave Man

agreed, doesn't live like a cave

to let her husband use the bed

Then the weary judge took off
his robe and went home to lie

also wanted a court order to make
Henry give back her either, three
barrels of goose down, China
doll and cartridges for her double
barreled pistol.
Henry said she would get
nothing back till she returned
his fishing rod and two stone
jars.
Sarah said he had a fat chance
of getting them until he handed
over her set of antimacassars.
The Master finally threw up
his hands and told the opposing
lawyers: you boys arrange the
details and I'll draw up the order.
This case has me in a either -

Don't Sleep In The
Coal Bin
BY JOHN F. WICKLEIN

You don't have to, no
matter what your wife
says. All you have to
do is get an injunction
IF YOUR wrinkled old Aunt Chloe
Il has been putting a hex on you
with her evil eye, you can stop
her. An injunction will do it for
you. You can even make your
wayward fiance stop drinking and
come back to the church. A court
order will take care of that one.
Usually we think injunctions
and court orders are used only in
serious labor disputes and cases in
equity. But judges have issued
legal writs since the time of
the Caesars to end domestic
squabbles and bring John back
from his Other Wife.
In one day. recently, a New
Jersey judge had to deal with a
man who couldn't get away from
his wife and another who couldn't
get back to his.
william Had Left
LILLY, the wife of mechanic
named William. was the first
plaintiff. William, she said, had
left her bed and board to live in an
abandoned chicken coop in their
back yard. She asked the judge to
make William stop that foolish
ness and come into the house. "He
needs his head examined" she
commented. .
But William liked his new way
of living. my wife's been domi-
neering me for twenty years." he
told the judge. Il want peace and
quiet"
But the judge issued an
order saying the coop was to be
boarded up, and hereafter William
would have to sleep at home.
