] MISSOURI’S NEGRO
j POPULATION MOSTLY
RESIDENTS OF CITIES
j (By The Associated Negro Press)
| Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 20.—Most
: of the Negro population of Missouri
lives in the congested areas of the
cities, while only a small proportion
can properly be classed as rural popu-1
lation. the Negro Industrial Commis-'
sion said in a report that will be made
to the next general assembly. The
i commission said it hoped to solve the
| problem of drawing the Negro from
' I the city to the rural district, to en
' gage in land production.
The agents have made a survey of
' i the Negro’s condition, educationally,
’ economically and industrially, and has
1 investigated his housing, health and
1 moral condition. “Our investigators
| have found some conditions which
i cause grave concern,” the report said.
* j “For instance, it was discovered that!
’ ! out of 212,000 Negroes in Missouri,
I only 49,000 live in hamlets and on
‘ | farms. These figures reveal sftrtling j
| situations, that 70 per cent of the j
i Colored population of the state is in j
' I the congested areas of the cities, \
' | while only 30 per cent can properly j
| be classed as rural population,
i “The Negro under such environment |
! brings little from the soil, while he is j
I one of the largest consumers propor- 1
| tionately In the population. How to I
- enable him to throw some of his'
| strength into land productions as well j
j as to better turn products of me soil!
j into shape for human consumption, is !
I one of Missouri’s most vital problems,;
j and one which the commission hopes j
j to solve."

Celebrates Anniversary
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 20. —The j
i Zoar Methodist Episcopal church, 12th J
I and Melon streets, celebrated its 125th :
| anniversary. Zoar church is the old- j
l est church for Negroes in the United i
j States.
; Four properties have been pur
| chased on North street, adjoining the j
j church, and the erection of a large j
i community building, promised to rival |
any in the city, will be under way ;
i before long. The building will have 1
' large and modernly equipped rooms I
for all kinds of religious, social and !
1 educational work. An extensive
library, gymnasium, rest rooms, bil
liard rooms and suitable halls for all
forms of entertainment will be in
i stalled.
In connection with the community
building an industrial school where
i boys and girls may take up the study
i of trades has been planned.

JAPANESE PROBLEM
Reaches texas
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Brownsville, Tex., Jan. 20. —The
“Japanese Problem” has reached this
section of Texas. Last Friday morn-
I ing B. R. Kato, a Japanese colony
promoter, was met as he dropped from
the California Special and politely told
that he was not a welcome visitor to
Brownsville and in the same breath
he was informed that he had forty- i
eight hours of stay in our midst. The j
message was delivered to the dis- j
, tingulshed Japanese in the name of I
the American Legion, the local cham- ;
I her of commerce and the retail !
merchants’ association. Mr. Kato
I gave due heed to the admonitions of
j the committee and lets the city well
within the forty-eight hour time limit
f j set for his stay here.

jIFGHT TO SAVE INDUSTRIES AND
PROPERTY
| . (By The Associated Negro Press) . J
I In western legislatures there is a |
f square fight to save property and
I business, industries and agriculture
I from the professional tax boosters
f who constitute the state and local
| governments. Budgets are increased
l and demands are doubled in many
\ departments and war conditions gave
i opportunity to expans functions and
| officialism.
| Taxes have leaped from 50 to 300
| per cent in two years. And there
| has been constant increase for 10
\ years past until the confiscation or
| absorption point has Deen reached.
t The tax boosters are largely respons
l ible for the high cost of living. State
| income taxes are now proposed as
| new sources of revenue.
£ When the farmers are taking six
| billions less for their crops than last
' veer, when many factories are idle
i for lack of purchasing power on the
part of the people, when wholesaler
and retailer are taking losses of
• billions In the readjustment of prices,
. when lcbor is taking monthly wage j
reductions or no employment, why j
I should not the overhead of state and
l county governtnentß t>e reduced in
the same proportion instead of voting
increases.

MRS. HOLT’S EXPERIENCE * j
•> v ❖ ❖ •;* v -5- •;* •> v ❖ i
By Mrs. M. E. Holt
NOTE:* In the sewing room of her;
i own home, and what she has experi- j
enced. She brought to her home an j
understanding of sewing gained from [
the study of domestic art in Prairie j
View Normal and Industrial college.
The advice she gives will be helpful,
as she has tried this and it has proven j
a success.
Aprons
All women need aprons, both for
sewing and household use. For. any
one who has had little experience in
needlework, the making of a few ;
simple pretty aprons will make her
familiar with the use of the stitches j
and materials.
Two sewing aprons can be made
from three yards of lawn thirty-six
inches wide. Tear the goods into
three equal breadths. If the edges are
uneven, pull the cross-wise threads
into shape by stretching through the :
bias. FYom one length tear four
! strips thirty-six inches long and six
inches wide for ties, and two lengths
for the belt bands. The latter should
j be three inches wide and two inches
! shorter than the waist measure. Take
j one of the remaining large pieces and
j turn up a four-inch hem’ at one end
; by folding over a narrow turning and
j creasing evenly.
Make a second turning four inches
| wide and crease. Baste along the
! line of the first turning and hem neat
, ly with small even stitches, using fine
j cotton and small needle. Beginning
I with the selvage, slope the apron off
| a little at the top to keep it from
hooping,up at the front. It should be
- one-half inch shorter at the center
I front than at the sides.
Gather the top three-eighths of an :
| inch in front of the edge and stroke
| the gathers Draw up the threads,
, making the apron two-thirds of the
| waist measure. Pin the middle of the
band to the middle of the apron on
i the right side. Hold the gathers to
ward you and back-stitch to the band.
| Hem the ties with three-eight 9 inch
hems at the sides and two-inch hems
: i
at the ends. Lay a plait in the upper j
i end making it one inch in width and
■ back-stitch to the end of the band
I three-eights of an inch from edge.
Turn the band toward the wrong
! side of the apron, turn in raw edges
j three-eights of an inch and hem to
| the gathers, covering the line of sew
j ing. Turn in the ends of the band
i and ’.iem them to the ties. Over-hand
! the remaining spaces on the band.
The apron may be finished without
ties by cutting the band one and one
half inches longer than the waist
measure. Turn in three-eights of an
inch at each end and over-hand all
around. Make two button holes at
one end and sew two buttons at the
other end.

COLUMBUS, N. M.
By Jno. D. F>ears
Sunday was a pleasant day and all
churches had excellent services. The
program of Fears’ Missionary Insti
tute was rendered with precision and
j Rev. H. G. Gandy preached a power
ful sermon, the subject being “Suf
ficient Grace.” Pastor R. L. Pearce,
i white; of Lordsburg, N. M., encour
aged us with the subject, “Pray and
j Not Faint.” He is expected again.
I This program goes from 3 to 5 p. m.
| every Sunday. The people should at
| tend all religious services and do their
| duty when they are well and living.
They expect the preachers to attend
to their welfare when they marry, get
sick or die; both have a duty accord
ingly. “The Golden Rule.”
Our people are patronizing each
other’s business places and reading
! Colored papers. This means race en
j terprise.
i We peeked in and found the 24th

arithmetic as well as marksmanship.
Believe me, they are wonderful and
generous.

Short Skirts Today
Most Sane In History
Says Dr. E. T. Seton
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 20.—“ Why wear
clothes?" Dr. Ernest Thompson Sea
ton, naturalist, asked today.
“Sex morality,” he continued, “has
no relation to clothing, as is proved
by the naked tribes of East Africa,
the most moral people in the world in
their natural state, but who always
take . a downward step morally when
compelled by missionaries to wear
colthing.
“The shorter the 'dress of the fe
male and the lower the neck of her
bodice, the greater her moral influ
-1 ence and the greater her tendency to
health.
“Women’s costumes today are the
j most sane in history, and moving in
the right direction.”

We wonder how many new “move
ments” will be born this year.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING
JAZZ BAND MUSIC
IS ON THE DECLINE
(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Chicago, Jan. —The buted trom
bone antd cornet, the syncopated mu
] sic and the jazz band have had their
| day, according to Robert G. McCutch
eon, head of the fine arts school of
De Ptiuw university and secretary of
the National Association of Music
j Teachers.
j "Jazz w-as bora of the war,” said
Mr. McCutclieon. “It was an echo
of the nation's hysteria. If came
in on the wave of the dancing craze,
but. it is fast being abandoned in
; favor of good music.” Music, espe
cially community singing, the pro
j fessor added, was a panacea for our
social ills. It would dissolve the
vapors of bolshevism and would sup
ply the emotionalism formerly af
forded by strong drink. Mr. McCutch
eon also stated that the movies have
done much to popularize music in
; America, and that the appeal of
music also is being recognized more
and more by the churches. "The de
mand for music teachers, especially
in the rural districts, is far tahead
of the supply.”

BLACKS INDULGE IN
SOUTHERN PASTIME
(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Purvis, Miss., Jan.’ —Negroes are
believed to be responsible for the
latest lynching in this state. Early
last Wednesday morning the body of
Coleman Brown, an aged Negro
preacher, was found dangling from a
tree and his body riddled with bul
lets. He had been released on bonds
the day before in connection with
I the murder of a 14-year-old girl. He
had been charged with the betrayal
of the girl and later when her mu
tilated body was found in a' nearby
swamp he was arrested on suspicion
of being the slayer. He was never
theless released on bond by the
local authorities and finding of his
bullet-riddled body dangling from the
limb of a tree followed.

CHRISTMAS WEEK IN ENGLAND
a j
Time When Scattered Families Are
United And Tender Memories
Are Revived
Many and great are the changes
which have occurred in England;
since Dickens wrote “A Christmas
Carol,” but they have not affected
the national love for the festival and'
the determination to preserve unim-j
paired the traditional warmth and 1
heartiness of its ’ celebration. Christ-!
mas week is still the great week of
the year to rthe Bnglish people. It
is the one week when scattered fam
ilies are reunited, when tender mem
ories and old associations as% re
vived, when friend greets friend
with a cheery expansiveness in strik
ing contrast with the characteristic
reserve of the English nature, so,
undemonstrative to those who do
not know it well, apparently so dis
tant and unsympathetic. ,
From Wednesday all business will
be suspended, not to be resumed till
Monday morning. The whole nation
will »give Itself up to good cheer and
good fellowship, and for a brief seas
on, all strife and controversy are
hushed, and peace, charity and con
cord reign supreme.

$40,000 ESTATE DIVIDED
AMONG HEIRS OF SLAVE
(By The Associated Negro Pness.)
Savannah, Ga., Jan; —The validity
of a group of Negro claimants to
town property in this city was es
tablished recently by witnesses to a
common law marriage which was
made in the year of 1855 when the
contracting parties were slaves. A
$40,000 estimate was placed on the
property in question which was di
rected by court order to be distri
buted among four sets of Negro
heirs.

OUR RACE PROBLEM
AN INSOLUBLE PROBLEM
SAYS BRITISH AUTHOR
(By The Associated Negro Press)
London, Jan. . —‘.The one almost
Insoluble problem before America, it '
seems to me, is the Negro problem,”
said Henry W. Nevinson, British au
thor and war correspondent, on his !
return from the United States re
cently.
,‘lt is a most serious question—and
will be a dangerous one; but Amer
ica, I feel, has shirked it. She must
grapple with it some day, for the debt
of the sin of slavery must be paid.”
15,000 PEOPLE KILLED
s Fifteen thousand people were killed last year in motor car accidents, according to
statistics. In addition to this, there were 150,000 others more or less seriously
injured. These figures should cause very serious thought, for they mean that 41
persons each day, almost one in every hour of the day and night, paid with their
lives in motor car accidents for the carelessness of some one. With the number of
i motor cars growing rapidly and the streets becoming more congested, this startling
toll of death and injury seems certain to increase.—Arizona Republican.
