WOMEN MAK.C NEWS
Women and feminine aflairs occurred often In the news this week
flood lie » , and bad new». Not Ihe least of thrae ts the amiouncemrt of
rorset manufacturers that a large Increase in the sales of tliat commodity
over previous years is noted. To the Initiated tint Indicates a very definite
trend towanls »h a t might be termed a move on tile part of woman to Jump
out of the fire Inti the frying pan
Ever striving after slimness and the
boyish figure, they choose the lesser of two evils the girdle over dieting.
Thousands ol women and young girls trying to remain thin have resorted
to Uic pr.craa of starving themselves to death A pickle and a dash of fruit
«us supposed to do the work of a good beef steak
Yet «Idle fickle, frivolous fashion was partly responsible, not all together
blameless « o s the ecoti mtc conditions under which our own gtrls and women
arr foricd to « o ik
Their earnings are ollwn Insufllclrnt to bu; both food
and clothes Women being «om en prelrrrcd to look good outside even though
they felt bin! inside Now they can rat and stay Uun and shaprly with the
once discarded corset.
THEY (SET T ilt BLAME
To the fret of women greaj economists have laid the cause of the depres
sion The buying power of the nation is largely In the hands of women,
although men arr the breadwinners. Love for silk hose, silk mhat-ya-ma-
ca ll-’ems ruined Ihe cation market. They say the resources of the Southland
wrrr reduced Northern manufacturers were likewise afTrcted. They could
not buy from the West. The West In turn could not buy from the East and
Uie cycle was completed
Women's ab.llnanre from fattening foods also
put the farmers on the blink
Interesting Is the news about the woman, 108 years of age. who Is pick
ing strawberries at Taylor Island, Mil. Mrs Amrlta Keene Is her name.
The question one naturally asks Is. where are the children of a woman 108
who permit her to go out and pick strawberries for a living. While we do
not know to what she attributes her old age, we will wagrr that she
neither wore corsets or dieted and wore clothes of wool and cotton In win
1 ter Instead of going half naked, Just to be In stvle.
HOW MANY CHILDREN SHOULD A WOMAN HAVE?
Even more Interesting, perhaps. Is the rase of Mrs Cora Jones Long, of
Chailottr. N C . who at the agr of 40 lias Just given birth to her twenty-third
child. Modrrn young women shudder at the very thought of having one
child. Besides being costly propositions they are also a bother when one
would like to stay out all night cl Hiring at a cabaret One such mother In
Chicago, piit her five-year-old son. Robert CSray. on the train, placed a tag
on him reading, "T o Grandma," and sent him to Washington, D C.
Authorities are now trying to either locate the "Grandma," who doesn't
seem to exist or else find the mother whose name and place of abode Is
unknown Cruel, perhaps but not quite as cruel ns Baltimore's Vtnrlent
White, who ts now on trial for slaying his own srvrn-m onth-old child to
grt even with h:s wlfa.
CAN A WOMAN HAVE LOVE AND A CAREER. TOO?
Into the news this week also eomrs evidence to shatter Ihe old belief
that women are more gentle, more kind hearted than men In New York,
Magistrate Jean Norris, G otham s female Jurist, Is on Dial for siding and
abetting greedy police to frame Innocent girls and send them to Jail on
trumped up charges.
*
"Rlie made me ch.mge the testimony to suit her ends and not as it was
given In court," staled the court stenographer In telling how the woman
magistrate (who SI Hill Id have extended a mother'« sympathy to unprotected
girls alone In New York) not only sent them to Jail but altered the records
to prevent them from obtaining an appeal.
This same method was employed by the court stenographer In the famous
Scotlsboro. A la . legal lynching case where eight boys arr to be electrocuted
for the alleged rape of two white girl hoodlums.
FRAMING INNOCENT GIRLS
Quite different from New York's woman magistrate was the action of
llaltlniores Judge Eugene O'Dunne when Ague» Champion, Just here from
Uie country was brought before him on a similar trumped up charge.
Bald Agnes: "I was In my home and a white man, who Inter turned out
| to be an officer In plain clothes, came In. He forced his way into the house
and a few minutes Olflcer HlUelberger, who had sent the man In, poundetf
i on the door 'Where ti the white man who Just came In here?' demanded
Ihe officer. I looked around and the Ural officer had slipped out of the parlor
where he was fittin g the moment before and was hiding In the bedroom
He came out sherplshly declaring that I had offered to sell myaelf to him."
The first ofllcrr was none other than Olflcer John Harry, Northwestern
District clubber, whose hobby has been besting up unprotected colored
, citizens.
Baltimore's Judge O Dunne not only dismissed tlie girl but severely
reprimanded both officers for their pains, warning them never to come before
him again with such a put up case.
The cose of New Yorks woman magistrate may prove that when a
woman becomes ambitious to take her place In the world hcslde men, when
she enters politics, places a career before making a home she loses the finer
qualities with which she has been endowed

WHAT-CHA
COLUMN
By W. I. GIBSON
"After graduation—what?"
Here ts a question which, during
the month of June, has been asked
by many persons. Including the thou
sands of graduates themselves.
The writer sought out Carl Mur
phy. editor of the largest all-colored
weekly In the world, to ask him «h a t
advice he would give to gradiia’ rs,
particularly
those o f schools of
| Journalism, and here <s w hit he said,
In part:
"I would advise these persons to
i E° 1® the South if they are looking
for opportunity. There Is a let of
hard, and sometimes
distasteful,
work on s newspaper, and the South
ts In need o f much of It
T h ere Is a need for community
service on the part of the newspaper,
i It muat become the spokesman of th«
people of Its community und of the
1 race at large. If this practice Is fol
lowed the paper will gain circulation
: and advertising and will moke money.
"Rewards come slow, and persons
; entering the Arid should krep this in
mind when they think c f material
■ g*dn. In the North, a great deal may
be said by colored newspapers, but
It Is In Uie South that there must
be vigorous editorial expression and
i accurate news stories about the con
ditions t h e r e
Bo, paraphrasing
Horace Grrely, J say: 'G o South,
young man.' •'
Here you have some sound and
timely conns, I. The colored graduate
in almost all branches is finding
greater and greater opportunity In
. Uic Mout h land
