Research Improves Service The American telephone industry is carrying on an extensive research program, toward the goal of fur nishing better, wider and cheaper service. This includes trans-oceanic communication, television, etc. Loud-speakers and the talking motion pictures resulted from re search that was designed to improve telephone service. The public knows little of this re search. But behind every telephone call, every progressive step in the art of communication are thousands of laboratory workers whose duty it is to provide the public with con stantly improving service. Detroit, Dec. 26.— Not content with handing out the dirtiest and worst paid jobs to Negro workers, who are driven for long hours under miserable conditions, the J. L. Hudson Co., one of Detroit's largest department stores, became the latest to employ discrimi natory tactics against the race, by in stituting the “Jim Crow” system last week. Negro employees have been told that if they cared to continue to purchase lunch in the company's cafeteria, they would have to sit in a far-off corner of the dining room by themselves. The order was received with great resent ment by the Colored workers, and from that day all of them have been going outside to lunch, rather than be “Jim Crowed” in the store. It is further ordered that the Col ored maids, elevator girls and other female employees could not occupy the same rest rooms as the white girls, but must all go to the fourth basement. This move has caused bitter feeling among Negro residents here and a de termined move is on foot to boycott the Hudson establishment. It will require more than a few years o f fasting and prayer to cast out such demons as envy, hate and down-right meanness from some people you know and we know. ------------- o------------- Nothing short of death, can pluck these evils from the warped soul GETS YEAR IN PEN of this class of people. Worthy Life That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and little child ren ; who has filled his niche and ac complished his task ; who leaves the world better than he found it ; who never lacked appreciation of the earth’s beauty or failed to express it ; who looked for the best in others, and gave the best he had. Raiding the Law-Breakers A Chinese lottery proprietor is quoted as having said if there is no lottery there will be no Chi nese dragon in the Rose Carnival FOR STEALING HAM Chicago, Dec. 27.—That these United States have one law for rich men who steal big, another law for the worker who steals to keep from starving, and still another for such a worker who happens to be Colored, was demon strated for the 'steenth time, when George Corey, a young Negro worker, was sentenced to one year in the house of correction. Corey was accused of stealing four hams from the firm of Swift & Co., a combination which has taken not four hame, but millions of dollars from the workers of this country. When Corey stole the hams, on the night of April 7, he was shot and seriously wounded by the night watch man. Since that time he has been confined. The cantata opened with a prelude by the orchestra, during which Dr. Caston ga\e a resume o f the Messianic expecta tion of the world. The whole theme was interwoven into a sermon At the in tonation of “Oh. Come! Oh, Come! Im manuel!” the finely balanced women's chorus, led by Mrs. Alma Vernon, gave a wailing scene. From this time on, the movement was rythmic and stirring Miss Barbara Hubhard as the \ irgin Mary, caught up the strain and with her beautiful voice, captured the hearts of the great throng. Miss Hubbard, in the next scene, “The Annunciation," gave “The Magniticant," with wonderful poise and ingratiating brilliance. Mr. Clarence Ivey, in the same scene, showed to good effect. In "The Birth" scene, the acting of the shepherds was outstanding, while the full choir swung into the "Gloria in Excelsis," with vigor and marvelous harmony. In the last scene, the priests, Mr. Edgar Williams and his assistant, W . H. Bowes, aided by the acting of Mrs. Jennie Mullen, Miss Hubbard and many worshippers, were very good. Mr. George Payne took the role of Simeon and Mrs. Jessie Foster that of Anna. Mr. Payne, as usual, was very effective. The Christ-child brought to the temple was notably a beautiful brown baby doll. The costuming was all that could be expected, the lighting was good and the action well in hand. Mrs. Mitchell very richly deserved the wonderful tribute paid her by the over-flowing crowd.

Holliday & Holliday Notice to the public UPPOSE you are today paying 50c a tube for your tootn paste (and there are many very good denti frices selling today at that price). Suppose, like most peo ple, you buy about twelve tubes during a year. Now if you knew that you could buy as good a dentifrice as can be made and still save each year the price of 25 loaves of bread or 60 bars of soap or 40 pounds of sugar or a box of fine cigars—could you conscientiously fail to take advantage of such an opportunity? That is exactly what you do when you buy Listerine Tooth Paste at 25c for a large tube.
