A- mong the measures that should at tract the attention o f every citizen, is the income tax and the Charter Amendment. Both of these measures deserve earnest and serious consider ation. And it is a duty that we owe tc ourselves, city and state to registet and be prepared to cast our votes on June 28th. OUR W O R ST ENEM Y Those who have given serious and considerate thought to things that tend to retard and hinder the progress of our local group, especial ly along economic and political lines, have reached the conclusion and are forced to admit that the colored peo ple in many respects are their own drawback and enemy. Our one big job is to forget our lit tle differences and work together for the success of all, as other races oi people are doing. Until we can do this we will continue to be the serv ant class for others, who have little respect and less consideration for u- as an economic and political entity W e shall continue to be ignored by the powers that be, in a political way. he stumbled and fell. For months he was not expected to live His face was so frightfully disfigured that even his wife fled from him in horror. After many experiments in grafting Aon from other parts of his body to his face, the surgeons told hint that no power tin earth could make him presentable again, that he would for ever have to conceal his face behind a mask. It is a dreadful thing to be obliged to conceal one's face from one's fel lows and never show it again; but there are multitudes of people who al ways voluntarily wear a mask. They never show the face of their real self. They are always hiding behind a mask :f duplicity or deceit—behind a lying •task—behind a mask of dishonesty aid insincerity. ------------0------------ A N ITA W H IT N E Y 'S A RREST A M ISTAKE Let's Have The Courage and Wisdom to Correct It i Walter J.

TAK ES STAND Sometime ago it was announced through the daily press that local 'first-class white hotels had declined to accomodate the colored delegates to the international Young Women's Christian Association c o n v ention, which was to have been held at the [ublic auditorium in April of next year and that as a result of this atti tude on the part of local hotel men, the National organization had cancel ed its reservation for the convention here. The Advocate wishes to extend to the National Board of the Young W o men's Christian Association, its deep est appreciation for its action in cal ling off the international covention here as its rebuke to the wide practice of drawing the color line. We believe the time is not far dis tant when such action will not be come necessary. And may we go a lit tle further—may we prophesy in the words of the poet, Langston Hugh es? “ I, too sing America I am the darker brotner.

If you perspire, don't fuss: wipe off your face and strat over again with your make-up Don't apply a lot of astringents and drying preparations. Sweating is good lor the pores and will give your skin a fresh look. Liquid rouge and powder will make things a little eas ier at parties, but a healthy perspirer can t expect to get along without re pairs. A dry skin has its innings in hot weather, for the natural oils are more active, and the texture improves Mil ky lotions and protective creams will keep such a skin in good condition. Paste rouge and lipstick are possible and usually stay put on a dry skin. Dry powder rouge is of little perma nent use to any skin in hot weather, especially in active sports; it's apt to blow off in the wind or cake with perspiration. T o make your make-up stick at 96 degrees is hard; but to make it match is an aesthetic achievement. Skin tones darken with exposure to sun and air, and your powder must keep pace.

IN SEATTLE CIRCLES By ETH EL STONE Do You Buy •THAT LITTLE GAME’ r WOMAN’S REALM By Sunday morning the pastor spoke on the subject, “ Business and Reli gion Combined“ . The text was "Not Slothful m business, fervent in Spirit. Serving the Lord“ . —Romans, I2.TI. He said the the relation between re ligion and business is not one of sep aration nor antagonism, but the true rclntion is one of combination. The religion is worthless that leaves out business. If a man will not wjork nei ther shall be eat. That business is wicked that leaves out religion. It will lie, and cheat and bribe, and crush the poor. He urged his hearers to help build up our business enterprises and promised that the> would in turn build up our community. The night service was graced with many visitors, a number of members of the other group and Dr. Long of Cberaw, S. C . principal of Chenault Academy; prominent Presbyterian race school were among those pres ent. The pastor delivered a very instruc tive sermon on "Know the Love of/ Christ". The choir under the direc tion of Mrs Katherine Gray rendered wonderful music including snthemx and spirituals. The Gleaners Art Club is still car rying on the good work. These ladies are wide awake and are planning o- ther big things. They met this wlrek with Mrs Ruby in her new home on the com er of MacMillan and Wheel er streets. Welcome to Zion.
