Evidently the furore caused by Mrs. O,car De Priets' having tea at the W!hite House and the Negro's sue• cessful protestation of Judge Parker's appointment to the United States su– preme court )las had its effect upon President Hoover, since he has de– clined to send a message of greeting to the National Conference of the N.A. A.C.P. Meanwhile lynchings have in– creased over 1.()0 per cent over 1929, and still no utterance from the White House against it. We wonder if Mr. Hoover's law enforcement commission will take any notice of this peculiarly American pastime.

Ten ladies were ~eated at the beautifully appointed table with its centre piece of pink and lavender sweet peas. A delicious four– course "brunch" was served. Place cards were arr~nged for the following; Mesdames Reynolds, Deiz, Cora Jami– son, Stanton, Adams, Cannady, and the Misses Alfreda and Nellie Frank– lin, Mrs. D. G. Hill and Miss Har– riet DeJournette of New York City. Miss DeJournette and Mrs. Hill were guests of honor. A beautiful green leather 'coin purse with a clasp of met– al-a replica of Mt. Hood was pre– sented to Miss DeJournette who gave the ladies a fine talk on Negro liter– ature and other interesting questions effecting the status of the Negro as a P llyann Socl 'ety Editorcitizen. Mrs. Hill was presented a 0 , bouquet of lavender sweet peas. The Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz entertained at dinner Sunday honoring Miss Ida Galloway. Mr. and Mrs. George Holliday, 708 East 13th Street South, had dinner Thursday for six in honor of their house guest Miss Mamie Sims. An– other out-of-town guest was J. B. Sims of Seattle. Mrs. Holliday will motor to Seattle with her guest tomorrow. They plan to be gone until Tuesday. Before returning, however, they will visit Vancouver, B. C. The trip will be taken for the pleasure of Miss Sims. M1iss Ida Galloway left Tuesday noon to visit for a few days with her sister in Seattle prior to her depart– ure for Pennsylvania. Mrs. Ellis Williams is spending sev– eral weeks motoring thru California. Mrs. Anna Diggs and niece, Miss Francis Farres of Los Angeles, are the house-guests of their cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Crosswhite, 1037 Division street. hostess requested her guests to keep their pretty green figured napkins (handerchiefs) as souvenirs.

Last Saturday evening a few friends were invited in to a card party honoring the guest. Mrs. Mc– Clear served refreshments. Mrs. Scott brought her infant daugh– ter, Gertrude May.

Who comes into New York from Easthampton every now and then on shopping excursions was seen lunch• ing at the Ritz the other day in this distinctive frock, fashioned of a heavy, dusty rose crepe which charm– ingly emphasized the slender lines of her figure.

In another column of tbis issue of The Advocate is a news item telling about a local restaurant drawing the color line •by informing one of our club 'women that she could not be served there any more; that it was not the policy to serve colored people in the restaurant. The restaurant is Man– nig's. It might be advisable for col· ored people who have been patroniz– ing the Manning's stores to cease it. We have patronized the Manning's stores on 4th ;ind Alder and also on Yamhill street for man; years but from now on and until the Manning stores cease to draw the color line, we shall find other stores with which to spend our money. Colored .people must learn not only not to spend their money where they cannot work but also not to spend their money where they cannot eat. besides it might be something objec– tionable. For in the opinion of the Oregonian "the Negro type as we see it here does not parallel the Moorish type," and it is quite unbelievable that an American Negro should read the Shakepearian lines "more in the ac– cent of Mayfair than in that of the cotton fields of the United States south." Hence the Oregonian answers its own question by inference: "It Will Not?" gro Spirituals. You will enjoy this Miss Caroline Shepard returned from service. J Salem Saturday afternoon.

It will be held at Bethel A.M.E. ~n:W~&C'o. "Merchandise of Merit Only" Peace_ On every hand one hears talk of peace-the end of wars and the reign of brotherly love. The people are tired of strife and wars; they are ask– ing if sacrifices already made have not been enough, asking what has been gained and why peace cannot be ne· goiated 'before the coming of utter ruin and despair. Enough men have died, enough loss has been ,susta1rted, h'earts enough have been broken, and surely innocent children and women enough have suf– fered hardships to cause the whole world to long for peace. Let us pray for the nations to lay down their arms and shake hands across the abyss of • distrust, suspicion and greed that di– vides them. --- Street Corners One of the worst habits that any one can form is that of hanging on the street corners to gossip. We noticed recently colored men and also instances of colored women, standing on the street corners gossiping. The prac– tice looks bad and conveys a bad im– pression to many people who think that colored people don't know how to deport themselves. It cannot be urged too strongly that colored people must be more careful. Remember that the whole race is misjudfl'ed by one of its members. DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU CANNOT WORK!

The general assertion ing this period. is made that a similar situation ex· ists in connection with homicides. The conclusion is then drawn that if the use of firearms was absolutely restric– ted deaths from homicides and sui– cide would be materially reduced. The same line of reasoning would apply to the use of automobiles which have a record of killing some 31,000 people in 1929 in this country. There are probably not as many automobiles as guns in the United States. It is interesting to recall that before guns were in common use the sword, the dagger, poison and numerous other agencies were responsible for some of the most horrible suicides and deaths in history. The campaign to do away with guns is just part of the program of restric– tive legislation which has gradually been encroaching on the rights and liberties of American citizens. It is all proposed in an enticing manner to win sympathy on the theory that by penaliziug the law-abiding and norm– ally minded citizen, the weak, the criminal and the misfits will thereby be saved without inconvenient or cor- rective measures being applied direct- ly to them.-E.
