New York City = Now is the
time to plug that Achievement
House established in Saint Louis,
Missouri with a wide awake per-
sonality at the head of the idea,
| might say; and that little one
is Edwina Wright Mitchell wife of
Editor J. E. Mitchell Of the ST..
Louis Argus. The Achievement
House gives opportunity to every
woman who has something to offer
to the Public not only to display
| it but to offer it to the Public at
a most nominal fee in the reach of
the lowest salaried person.
A talk with Edwi1ia Wright
Mitchell will let you know how far
sighted those women Of the ST.
Louis Achievement Club are and
what they mean to give to the Pub
| lie there through the art of those
who wish their art known and ap-
preciated. That chance or oppor-
tunity will be given through the
Achievement House and the eX-
elusive location of the House on
Vanderventer Place will in itself
be a drawing card. Other cities
might follow the pattern of the
"Sho- ME" town-St. Louis, Mis-
souri, because every city could well
use an Achievement House.
In speaking of the Achievement
Clubs | think of the founder of that
great movement - DR.. Illery -
whose idea is to push every woman
who wants to achieve something
or who has some idea or product to
offer for the good of Others. A
grand woman with so many grand
ideas which need support from the
four corners of the world. The
Group held it's national meeting
here in NYC only a few weeks ago
and you guessed it right when you
guessed that one of the live wires
present was the dynamo from st.
Louis, Mrs. Edwina Mitchell and
there is no doubt that she had
many new ideas and plans to take
back to her Group in St. Louis,
Missouri where the folk believe in
being shown and they do not mind
working together.
Just letting you in on something
which needs your thinking and sup
port in your own community -
pushing those with the minds to
achieve. It's your Lou (Hotle The
resa) Swarz.

The Bell Tolls
By Leonard HI. Bell

The rising yearly toll of Negro Sayings by Negroes
has reached an appalling degree of buchery. kind of
butchery that verges close to barbarc and JUS
titles the malicious lies that haunt the Negro minority
in describing his mot being ready yet for unqualified
freedom politically socially and economically
Each Negro paper that one takes in hand each week
carries cruel but headlines of unjustifiable,
savage bestial murder committed by staggering,
boodthrsy Negro whose sole contribution to his races
progress, is murder.
In the Southland, the homeland of most of the
Negro race we find that heretofore and muir
der of Negro by Negro generously supported by
members of the white This done by of the
important white of the various towns and cities
taking under their wing certain Negroes who i'm
bibed with badman complex, and protecting these men
h e hiIt in wanton stabbings shootinos and murder.

When man he feels disappointed
And his health is almost gone
With nothing but a fussy wife
To fuss with him at home.
My Lord | cry for peace at home
Please hear my cries and groans
No other God that | will serve
Can give me peace at home.
Such a fussy wife that l have got
And not child at home
Lord will you deliver me
And hear my cries and groans.
You have chosen me to go to
preach
To marry many more
Such a fussy wife that I've got
Is standing in the door.
Please guide me on my way
And let me always pray
Don't let this fussy wife | got
Stop me or be in my way.

Parish STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: No other subjects has
aroused so much conversing and
specializing among Old TYNE Far
lsh Streets than the subject of
Negro Policemen along the old
Avenue, and out on any street and
IN any neighborhood which you
might name where Aunt Haggar's
Chillun, and their children, live,
run, and play, and need more pro-
lection from, less fear of, and more
respect for DE LAW, | had all
eyes for what was being said as |
partook again of my favorite Sat

on the Beer end, just because I'd
just witnessed another going down
of my "Almer Matter" (if l have
ANY, the Jackson College Tigers
at the hands of Alabama by a
score of 60. AS | was saying was
listening close to the conversation
about Negro policemen, md in it
discovered that what Aunt Hag-
gar's Chillun's wants more
than anything else when it comes
to policemen is +. RESPECT FOR
THE LAW -. and not FEAR OF
THE LAW and as the CONVEX
sation pointed out, the reason why
so much crime goes on in the
neiberhoods of Aunt Haggar's
Chilluns where there amt no Negro
Policemen, and the reason why so
much crime has fell off in the
Neighborhood where there are
Negro Policemen is because i.
Being Long looked at and planned
that way FEAR OF THE LAW

Haggar's Chillun's amt never got
close enough to DE LAW to learn

a-popping was when a fellow in
the conversation brought up the
subject of Negro Policemen j..
and HEAD WHOPPIN" see

they start to using that MOTH

that fellow did what was talking
that little HEAD WHOP-

would do them Hep Cats "a heap of
good and remove from the

long that phase of lawessness is confined to Ne
alone In many places the laws decidedly
lax and the bail unbelievably low in involving
der of Negro by Negro.
Consequently the youth of the Southland grows up
with badman complex that is nurured philosophy
of kill your racial brother, be killed. When these
young to large cities like New York Chicago
and other places, they naturally assume belgerent
attitude that makes them potential murderers
The newspapers of the race, the clergy and reliable
agencies should take up this problem with de-
gree of seriousness to meet this henious form of
suicide.

Startling Facts From
Hoover Report

Here are random excerpts from
the Hoover report W h i c h give
some id e a of the unbelievable
conditions disclosed by the sur
vey. There are hundreds of such
instances of b a d organization,
duplication and waste, which the
recommendations of the Com
ission are designed to correct.
One out of every nine persons
in civilian employment work for
the U. S. Government. The aver
age worker in the country devotes
fifteen out of fifty-two weeks to
pay his taxes.
The Treasury Department has
under its jurisdiction seven
agencies, including t h e Coast
Guard a n d the Bureau of Mar
cotics, which have nothing to do
with finance. On the other hand,
fiscal agencies properly belonging
to the Treasury, are scattered
throughout the Government.
Thousands of tons of obsolete,
useless records and documents
are kept in steel cabinets on cost
ly Office floors at maintenance
charges of $4,000 year when
they might be stored in cardboard
containers in warehouses at $2.15
a year.
Supervisors are rated and paid
according to the number of work.
ers under them; thus t h e y are
encouraged to build up their work
forces recklessly.
The appeal Of a career in U. S.
Government service is so slight
that 500, 600 persons voluntarily
quit annually after a short ex-
perience in the work. The gov
eminent mploys more than
1000, 900 civilian employees.
The Post Office, which does a
business of So billion annually,
will have a deficit this year of
about $500, 900, 900. Better man
agement a nd better equipment
could save at least $3.50, 900, 900.
Two different government
agencies surveying construction
sites for dams a half mile apart
on the same river-at $3.50, 900
per survey-came up wit es-
timated costs SIS, 900. 900 apart.
Som e government bureaus
. maintain supplies of equipment
sufficient to last for so years. All
told the government owns $27
billions in property inventories
although no one agency has re-
cord of their nature or where
abouts.
To turn out its maze of paper

owns 848, SGT typewriters. About
235, 900 persons on h e Federal
payrolls use typewriters on a part

What are These Strikes About?

These strikes and strike threats are not
about wage rates or hours. They result
from disputes over the meaning of exist
ing contracts. They cover claims for full
days pay for less than days work, or for
payments for services performed by others
who were fully paid for the work done.

TINE LEADERS of the Brotherhood of
i Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen,
Order of Railway Conductors, and the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen on the
Missouri Pacific Railroad have refused to
avail themselves of the peaceful means
provided by this Act for settling their dis
putes. They insist that they be the sole
umpire of their own disputes over the
meaning of contracts.
There is no Need for Strikes
With all of the available methods for the
Interpretation of contracts, there is no
need for a strike or even a threat of
strike, but the leaders of these railroad
unions have ignored the ordinary pro-
cedures established by law and insist upon
imposing their own interpretations of their
contracts by means of strike.
The wheels have stopped rolling on the
Missouri Pacific. They may stop rolling
on other railroads at any time. Recently
the Wabash Railroad was forced to dis
continue operation for several days under
similar circumstances.
