FALL FASHIONS GO HIGH HAT
BY Freddye Henderson for AMP

BY Freddye Henderson for AMP
This fall smart women every
where will feature the High Hat
Look. Hats, which began to ex-
pand last spring, have gotten
larger and higher, and the fall
millinery scene looks even higher
upward.
Needless to say, this is wonder
full for all the girls who feel that
Mother Nature cheated them
when they stopped growing at the
five feet level, or thereabout.
With the High Hat look, every
girl can add inches to her APP
parent height, and enhance that
lean willowy look.
In a way it's nice that major
attention is again conferred on
Millinery. A new hat has long
been considered the balm that
soothes women's wounded feel
ings, an many an erring husband
has been forgiven because he was
: thoughtful enough to get the lit
tie Woman a bit of new head
gear.
A new hat gives one a new
outlook on things: One holds
her head higher and effects
more regal carriage when sport
ing a lovely new chapeau.
This falls high millinery will
be a wholesome new silhouette.

MEMBERSHIP GROWTH
Both Association officials took
note Of the past years growth in
NAACP membership and income.
It was pointed out that in 1855,
for the first time since 1913, the
membership exceeded 100000 and
that NAACP income for January
through May, 1856 totalled 1901,
569.75 compared to $169, 1925
for the first five months Of 1855
The Association plans to reach
the 100000 membership mark by

ENEMIES TACTICS
ARE DESPERATE

OF the Associations members
Mr.. Spingarn declared: eft is in
large part due to their devotion
to the democratic way of life and
to their belief in the ideals set
forth in our American Constitu-
ton that the NAACP has become
at this time a significant and, in
fact a powerful instrument in
achieving equal citizenship rights
for all Americans. Our enemies
know this, and their tactics in
fighting us have become the tao
tics of desperation.
Some of our members have
been victims of the economic
pressures exerted by the White
Citizens Councils. Others have
been threatened with violence for
advocating civil rights and de-
segregation. I am certain that the
great majority of American citi-
zens who believe in equality OF
opportunity admire the courage
OF our people in these troubled
times, and I personally salute
their refusal to bow down to the
forces of bigtotry."
PERIOD is CRUCIAL
On the same subject DR.. Tobias
maintained that 1--WE are facing
a crucial period in the history Oh
our organization. Our successes
in breaking down the ancien,
segregation barriers have aroused
the enmity Of those committed &c
the obsolete Jim Crow patterns
AS a consequence, we are under
