Then comes the heart throb winner,

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, March 27.
■ —• While presiding over the an­
nual conference of the state of Flor­
ida here recently, Bishop J. B. Flip­
per, of the A. M. L. church took
occasion to hurl an attack at the
flappers in the church whose wiles
tempt preachers and lake their
minds off the gospel.
"I am in great sympathy with my
preachers," the bishop declared just
liefore he read the appointments of
the East Florida Conference.
“How in the name of God can
preachers get up in the pulpit and
preach when you women sit on the
front seat with your dress up to
your knees?" the bishop asked as
the throng which packed the church
interrupted with applause.
The bishop urged the women to
stop tempting the preachers and to
aid the churches in creating a more
wholesome atmosphere and more
love in the religious bodies.
"Just let my preachers alone,"
Bishop F'lipper thundered amidst
laughter and applause.
FLAY BALL!
All Reader« o f T he
This contest, known as number
five, "Through the Air," is dif­
ferent from the previous contests
in the Advocate as no prizes will
be given during the life of this
Bird and Hat contest:
Here are the two sets of contests:
One for the younger folk who are
requested to send in the names of
the wild birds of Oregon, which
they know. List as many names
of birds as you wish, but be sure
to first list the one you like best.
The other contest is for the ladies
(married or single), all you have
to do is describe one or more of
the latest style Spring and Sum­
mer hats. Those sending in answers
in either the Bird or Easter Hat
contest, can have their names omit­
ted from publication if they prefer;
but name and address must appear
to receive attention of the judges,
chosen from the faculty of the
Oregon Conservatory of Music, in
the Alisky building at Third and
Morrison.
Now young folk if you do not
recall the names of more wild birds
than the old black crow, robin-red-

PAID LOW SALARIES

(Special to Crusader News Service)
LITTLE ROCK; Ark, April 4.—
The average monthly salary of teach
ers in Little Rock public schools shows
rabid discrimination by city officials
against Negro teaheers. Little Rock

$113.09; Junior High Schools, whites,
$159.7$, colored $86.71; elementary,
white, $124.83, colored $81.
The Women's Ku Klux Klan has
headquarters at Little Rock, a city
having over 10 thousand industrial
workers earning less than 30 cents an
hour.

OF
MANAGEMENT.
The glad words, “play ball!” will
be music to the ears of approxi­
mately twenty thousand fans on next
Tuesday afternoon, April 9th at
which time our “Beavers” who have
been mopping up iwth the San Fran
cisco and Sacramento ball teams,
will be home. Oh, boy! wont we
all be happy)
President Tom Turner who, most
of last season looked so gloomy and
sad on the account of the poor
showing made by the team, is now
wearing a smile a yard wide, while
raw meat, Bill Rogers, manager, is
grinning all over his face. Both
have cause a plenty to be happy.
Tuesday afternoon will be a closed
season for business as everybody
who can spare the "stuff” will be at
the Vaughn Street park t^ yell their
heads off for the Beavers. And we
will be one of them, won’t you?
