Community Service for the Colored People The colored people of Richmond deserve to be
encouraged. morally and financially in their ef
fort to establish a branch of the community service in this city.
I "The purpose of this organizatiop," says an announcement by the leaders of the movement, 'is to help the colored people of Richmond and
vicinity in the promoting of health, good citizen
ship, and the development of a richer and well
rounded life." The colored population of the community is about 2,500, but it has no central meeting place where it may assemble and wherein, to quote the announcement, "there is no division as to industry, religion, fraternities or sex." . The proposal in a nutshell is this the establishment of a permanent community center, in charge of a trained worker, to direct the following enterprises: Committee on activities, committee on girls' and women's recreation, committee on men's and boys' recreation, committee on music, committee on drama and pageants, committee on church activities. : It takes no deep study to see the positive advantages that will accrue not only to the colored citizens but to the city as a whole from the establishment of a center, under competent leaderership, which will direct the recreational activi
ties of the colored people.
Forced to congregate on street corners and in front of stores because they have no common meeting place, the establishment of headquarters at a convenient location will enable the colored people to enjoy the facilities of club life, under the direction of a trained secretary. Their wives' and children have no place to go
critics of the race, seeing a large number of them standing on a street corner, believe that they are loafers and idlers. The truth is, they are standing there because they have no comfortable place in which they may enjoy themselves in reading books and magazines, or in indulging in wholesome recreation. ' The full-time secretary who would be employed would not only manage the central meeting place, but would also direct the following activities: Music, dramatics, literary societies,
arts and crafts, health and clinics, domestic sci
ence, home-making, and the care of babies. All these features are meritorious ones that chal
lenge our support and help.
The colored people are trying to raise enough money to finance the undertaking. They believe
that they will be able to do so, as it is the first
opportunity they have had of showing their zeal
and enterprise in creating for themselves a real
center for social betterment and the enjoyment of the better things in life. Should they be unable to raise the full amount, they will call on other citizens of Richmond to help raise the amount still lacking. A paragraph in the announcement voices their earnestness and zeal. It says : ''The national community service organization has sent workers here who have taught us the real value of a community service program. The labor of these faithful, efficient workers has cost us nothing. Many of us have become acquainted with a part of the program that of the benefit and enjoyment of playing, singing and laughing together and we realize how much even this fractional part of a program is worth to the community. We want more of it. Every colored citizens must do his or her, part to keep community service in Richmond permanently. Our fellow citizens of the white race have organ-
ized, raised their financial budget, and employed
TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author cf "You Can", "Take It". "Up" ADJUSTABILITY A man hasn't even translated the first line, of life until he has learned how to adjust himself to circumstances. If your envinmment seems all wrong, don't try to fight it accept it! Then go ahead with the matter at hand. Most people, who pay no attention to their environment, Boon find that their environment has changed almost overnight. Can you call to mind a single incident where fretting or worrying solved anything? A woman once told me that she had been "trying SO hard for years to get rid of a bad habit." I advised her not to try any longer but to drop it and pass on. The more you pamper your faults and failings, the more intimate they become to you and the less liable you are to lose them. Adjust yourself to the hourly rythm of your life and shut the door to everything else. Nothing stays at normal. I am told by one who has given much thought teethe subject, that few sons of rich men ever make much of a success separated from the wealth that was handed to them. The reason for this lies in the fact that few rich men's sons have ever been taught the value back of time and money as well as muscle! The triumphant experience is had by those only who have learned the lesson back of failure, as well as the lesson in front of success. And these are the people who are always taking up and doing, asking few questions and complaining about, nothing. My friend, never mind! What of It? Adjust yourself. Smile the conqueror's smile and go ahead and be one!

disgrace, and go and join the weeping gang around the well known wailing place. The savage letter is a sign that someone's liver's out of plumb; no misfit madrigal of mine should make the harsh epistles come. Some fellows life my hide by mail, and that's a safe and pleasant stunt; if face to face they'd doubtless quail before my fierce and Mars-like front. Sometimes I write such screeds myself, hairlifting letters, bold and stern; but then I place them on the shelf, or put them in the stove to burn. When I
feel sad and tired and sore, it does me good to take a pen, and write ten thousand words or more, denouncing all my fellow men. I rake my foes and
cook them brown, and strive to do them wordy harm; but when the stuff is written down I would not mail it for a farm. When one has mailed a bitter note, he gasps to see how small he's grown; he hoped to get another's goat, and finds that he has lost his own.

WHAT TO DO IN HOT WEATHER. (According to various experts.) Eat vegetables. Eat no vegetables. Drink plenty of water.
Don't drink any water.Plenty of exercise. Sit perfectly still. Take hot baths only. Take only cold baths. Have an electric fan. Use no artificial breeze. Work hard. Loaf much. A SEA-GOING HACK. Mr. De Bolt ran his car in the Old Woman creek last Thursday and got stuck, and before he could get the car out the water came up and turned it over. The water got so high that it was neessary to fasten the car to a tree to keep it from washing down stream. Warren Booster.
SMALL AMOUNTS AND BIG FIGURES One hundred thousand dollars in ten years!
This is not the fortune amassed by a prominent lawyer, a famous physician, a popular politician, a successful delicatessen store proprietor or even
a fashionable butcher! It is merely the sum which a man in Syracuse known as the "Shoe-Shin
ing King" has annexed, according to the complaint filed by a kicker against a fifteen-cent tariff for a shine in supporting his demand for an investigation
by the Department of Justice, while the Lever Act was in force. Local agents, who carefully checked over the evidence contained In the complaints received, found that the greater part of the one-hundred-thousand-dollar fortune of the chain bootblack-stand proprietor was derived from the old charge of a nickel for a shine; .since the fifteen-cent fee went into effect, the gentleman complained of is said to have admitted that he saved so much
money he did not know exactly how to spend it. Of course, he has long since retired from active business. There are many other instances of the large sums of money which aggregate from small purchases. The multimillionaire tobacco kings have acquired their fortunes from billions of cigars and cigarettes, which represent almost as many sales of a few cents each. The penny weighing machine has a clientele of several hundred million people annually and Is responsible for many of our millionaires. The automatic vending mechanisms which distribute chewing gum, postage stamps, chocolate samples and a dozen other what-not articles gather their harvest of coppers and nickels to help maintain the yachts and automobiles of their promoters.
The richest newspaper proprietor in the world sells his commodity for three cents.
Shonts and Woolworth were the master alchemists of time they made millions out cf nickels. Also the shoe-lace plutocrats, the match manufacturers, the button magnates, the orange-drink fortunaires and so on. These are only a few examples of how big figures are built up of small amounts; there are innumerable opportunities of which a man with brains, push, vision and something honest to sell can take advantage to develop a little large business of this kind.

Alkali In Soap Bad For the Hair
THEY ARE MILD BIT EFFECTIVE A person with inactive or slowed up digestive organs suffers doublv from hot weather. Billiousness, headaches blurred vision, bad breath, coated tongue, are almost certain to be present with a mass of heat-productng undigested food in the stomach. Foley Cathartic Tablets keep the digestive organs active and the system fit and fine, purged of poisons. v. T Kennedy. Albany. N. Y., says: -Foley Cathartic Tablets are mild but effective" A G.

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, which is pure and greaseless, and is better than anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonsful of mulsified will cleanse the hair and scaln
thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified. Advertisement.
