REGISTER AND VOTE
On June the 28th, a very important
election will be held in Oregon. 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.

The Advocate hopes -the colored
people in Portland will circulate a pe-
titon asking the Governor of Califor­
nia to pardon Anita Whitney, who at
all times was a champion of the Ne­
gro race. And it is asid that when ar-
icsted. she was championing the Ne­
gro and his cause. Wont the churches

Y. W. C. A. 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.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes„
But I laugh, and eat well.
And grow strong
Tomorrow,
I’ll sit at the table
When company comes,
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
“ Eat in the kitchen”.

Perspiration should not be confus­
ed with natural oil in the skin. 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. Don't try to cover sunburn
with pink or white powder. Buy a
shade that will tone in or try blend­
ing your uwn if you can't find the
right shade in the shops Lots of wo­
men have discovered thrir artistic a-
bility in this way If your face flush­

sport a pearly pallor at the country-
club dance, experiment with one of
the subtle evening orchid shades.

•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.
