hIter emancipation Lnere
face the matter Of education with
out which even his emancipation
could not avail effectively. The
same abolitionist spirit that was
so instrumental In emancipating
the Negro reasserted itself and
saw that schools were established
for the education Of the Negro.
These schools have been bulwarks
Of strength for the Negro and
have benefited the south no less
than the Negro. The fountains OF
philanthropy flowed full and free
ly until the educational founda-
ton Of the race has been laid.
But the flow Of philanthropy Is
considerably slowed down and Il
more and more becoming q mere
trickle with complete cessation 4
not too distant possibility. Should
the fountains Of philanthropy
fail before the south Is financial
ly able and willing 10 take over
or before the Negro feels respon-
sible for his own educational in
situations, the outlook Is not very
promising.
We may a. well face the fact
now A. later, Negroes cannot
talk big talk and drive big cars
and wear llne clothes and play
the numbers and bear their
share Of the Ss,e00. Ooo, 900 this
country spends for alcoholic
drinks annually, and expect the
white man 20 pay their way In
the essentials Of progress
The late Kelly Miller used to
say that the Negro was at his
best buying what he wanted and
begging for what he needed. The
immortal Kelly had something.
More and more Negroes must rely
upon their own efforts for their
own advancement
This release Il inspired by the
appeal that the Truman forces
are making for funds TO finance
the Truman campaign. With the
Democratic forces Of the south
split wide open and financial sup
port being withheld, and with
some northern Democrats and
Republicans "ganEinE up" on
President Truman. the matter Of
financing his campaign Is q press

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
Pet Speech Peeye.

Miss Helen A. Miles. Of Sierra
Madre, Calf, writes: MY pet
speeche peeve is hearing married
women addressed as Mrs. DR.. Jones,
Mrs Attorney Smith, Mrs. Rev.
Brown, Mrs. Supt. Green, Mrs.
Prof. White A friend insists that
such forms are correct since the
women are wives Of professional
men,"
Mrs. Miles has a quite justified
peeve, for a wife never shares her
husbands title.
During the years of the late Mr.
Roosevelts tenure of Office many
readers asked me whether his wife
should properly be addressed as
Mrs. President Roosevelt" Indeed.
few readers had the idea that her
correct title was Madam President
Roosevelt"
In American usage a Mrs. remains
plain Mrs. regardless of her hus-
bands rank, title or eminence. She
may bear a title only when 1t is her
own title, in which case she must
drop the Mrs. calling herself DR..
Martha Brown, Secretary Mary
Smith. President Jane Doe, etc.
Many persons are confused about
how to address a couple when the
man has a title. These forms are
correct:
Dr. and Mrs. John Smith.
Prof and Mrs. w. H. Brown.
President and Mrs Harry Truman.
The Rev. and Mrs. Edward Black.
Never "Mr. and Mrs. Rev. p
1t was once considered improper
for married woman, widow or
divorce to use the form MRS.
Mary Smith" Mrs. Mary? Oh, MOI"
shuddered the arbiters OF social
usage.
But Mrs. Mary Smith" Is now
accepted as correct and a woman
shouldn't hesitate to use the form
if it pleases her. She may, of course,
also use the form Mrs. John F.
Brown" even though she be a
widow or divorcee
Acceptance Of Mrs. Mary Smith"
is due largely to the usage by Mrs.
F. D. Roosevelt who, before her
husbands death, often used the form
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt" as she
still does.
Here's another useful hint: In
informal usage, when the titles Mr.
and Mrs. are not used, the womans
given name comes first, as: Grace
and John Smith; Mary and Jack.
This form is correct in signing in
formal letters. Christmas cards. birth
announcements informal invitations,
etc.

Recent accounts Of military OPP
erations have made most readers
aware of the significance of the ex-
preston, keeping open lines OF
communication" No bridge player
can perform with any degree Of
efficiency unless he bears constantly
in mind this elementary bit of card
tactics.
Today's hand IS perhaps a COM
monplace illustration. South, hold
ing Is points. opened with the nor
NAL bid of one no-trump and West
decided to overcall with two dia-
monds, not so much with the idea
of trying to buy the hand, but be-
cause he contemplated the prob
ability that North would take out
into a major suit and that his part
ner might be at loss for good
opening lead. North's raise to two
no-trump. without diamond stop
per, on the surface seems to be a
very drastic measure, but upon
analysis it will appear not to be so.
A no-trump opening more often
than not possesses a stopper in
every suit, and where the responder
possesses the values for raise there
is usually nothing to be gained by
showing suit, particularly If it
happens to be a minor.
West, feeling confident that his
spade holding provided sure entry,
decided to establish the diamonds
in a hurry. He therefore led the
king and ace of the suit and cleared
it on the third round.
South won and took the club
finesse. This lost to East, who re-
turned spade. With nine tricks
in sight, South was in no mood for
illnesses and Vests spade entry
turned out too late to be effective.
West had lost his lines of COM
munication with partner. He chose
to give up a diamond trick to the
enemy at the wrong time. West
should wish for his partner to hold
originally two diamonds and conse-
quently should let the opposition
have their trick while East still re-
tains a diamond to return should
he get in. A low diamond opening
was therefore the proper procedure.
South would win and would have to
place all his reliance on the club
f1nesse. When this lost, diamond
would come back and the defense
would gather in six tricks in all.
Keep in touch with your partner.
