By Robert S. Abbott
There is a growing ten
dency on tlu* parts of men
and women of our race to
ward self-segregation. This
tendency4manifests itself in
school and college activities
and social functions in the
North. It .springs from that
self-conscious attitude, based
upon an inferiority complex
which makes certain of us
feel that w< are more com
fortable when we are “ carry
ing on” in separate groups.
A conspicuous example of
this trend was shown us in a
dance given bv a fraternity
group in one of the halls of
the University of Chicago
last Friday night. At this u-
niversity it can be truthfully
said that there is no segrega
tion. The school more nearly
approaches a real democrat

Sunday was Prohibition
Day. The services were in
charge of the Senior Mis
sionary Circle. In fact it was
victory day. Churches all o-
ver the city celebrated the
day. It was the seventh an-
nivessary of the establish
ment of National Prohibi
tion. The W.C. T. U. grew
out of an episode which took
place at Hillsboro, Oregon,
December 23, 1873, when a
small group of women band
ed together in a crusade a-
gainst the saloons of their
little city. The organization

tion. is now in its second
half million membership.
Dr. Dyer spoke from the
lead”.
So Roland Hayes
gave a recital in Rome which
was indeed a great occasion.
He also made a return ap
pearance in Chattanooga,
which town holds an opinion
far more than friendly of the
great tenor. While in Chata-
nooga Roland Hayes visited
the stove foundry where he
had worked as a boy and was
much pleased to find two
of his former associates.

ROCKEFELLER’S IN
FLUENCE
Tuscon, Ariz., Jan. 17—
It is said that a young man
years ago approached John
D. Rockefeller and sought a
loan of $100,000 to further a
worthy project. Mr. Rocke
feller listened attentively, ad
mitted the feasibility of the
proposition, but declined to
make the loan. “ I will do
better than that” , he said, “ 1
will walk down the street
with you and take you to
lunch.”
The young man had no
difficulty in raising the re
quired amount from other
financiers. The fact that he
had been seen in the compa
ny of the great John D.
Rockefeller was sufficient
security.
—Another evidence of men
being judged by the compa
ny they keep.
