Suppose, like most peo– ple, you buy about twelve tubes during a year. Na.w if you knew that you could buy as good a dentifrice as can be made and still save each year the price of 25 loaves of bread or 60 bars of soap or 40 pounds of sugar or a box of fine cigars-could you conscientiously fail to take advantage of such an opportunity? That is exactly what you do when you buy Listerine Tooth Paste at lSc for a large tube. Figure it out for yourself.

The model above is really very charming. It adheres to straight lines, a simply tailored notch collar, slot pockets and turn-back cuffs-– and then proceeds to introduce a jaunty cape, split in back for the sake of freedom as well as smartness. This would be excellent in flannel in dark or pastel shades, a basket-weave, or in a crepey woolen. Excella Pattern No. 3007.

Mitchell result in low overheads; the larger the A Negro, Cornelius Patterson, who died ·in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a Home and oFreign Missionary society few weeks ago, il)spires this column tp digest the moral that his life, re– vealed after his eath, gives to the entire race. -0-- This man, little heard of during his life, and still less heard of at his death, now, a few weeks after, gives to the race an object lesson that far surpasses any sermon, lecture or trea– tise that could be prepared on the sub– ject of thrift and economics. -0- His attorney, Henry P. Cheatham, of Philadelphia, who was one ,of our congressmen from North Carolina, in the 51st and 52nd- Congress, and in– cidentally, who, yeilrs ago was an op– ponent of the present senator (Sim– mons) from North Carolina and lately met defeat in the primaries, discloses the fact in probating Patterson's will,, that Patterson left an estate of $30,- 000, nearly all of which was cash de– posited in Camden, New Jersey, banks. -0-- In the financial worth of estates, thirty thousands, is not so impressive but in the estates of Negroes, thirty thousand net a~d in cash causes com– ment. Generally speaking, a Negro who is worth $30,000 dead is easily worth, or so reputed, ten times that amount, alive. No race can excell or even equal ours ir.. the art, if it can be so called, of "financial camoflage." Patterson was a merchant and his estate proves that he was a successful one, yet, he was practically unknown. While others were attending and giv– ing banquets attesting their success, being lauded and publicized by the press, living in luxury and millionaire style with their retinue of servants, liveried cars, and all the attendant pomp and splurge that form the life and habits of the near-successful, this merchants was plodding on, daily ap– plying the laws of economics, un– heard and unsung. -0- Those who have lived or frequented our large thickly populated districts of our large cities, Philadelphia and else– where, are familiar with the peculiar cry and call of the street peddlers and hucksters. They are merchants in every sense of th~word, buying and selling a commodity for which th~r is constant demand. --<>-- Their business is licensed and each cart carries a licensed number. Usually foreigners are the operators and in– variably thrive off the business our people give them, buying a nickels worth of this and a dimes worth of that, in fact everything from fish to nuts and from ice to coal. Patterson, ri~h in death, but prob– ably despised jn life, was a push-cart vendor. In selling for a nickel he made a penny and he made thousands of nickel sales while more dignified and pompous merchants were looking only for the d;;-llar. His turnover was constant. He didn't have to wait for the annual inyentory to determine whether he was making or losing money. He knew his cart of wares, cost probably four dollars and sold for five and he stayed on the job till his cart was empty. It didn't take much of an organization or overhead ex– pense to determine that he was one dollar better off than when he started on his trip. The dollar he put in the number kept efficiently employed the greater the profits; keeping the capital intact; living within the income and profitably investing the profits. • A WELL KNOWN WRITER AND RACE LEADER , TAKES ISSUE WITH KITS ( Continued from • Pa&'e 1) to have allowed his personal sympa– thies to have overridden the opinions of men who without any personal rea– sons gave the verdict as they saw the right? We do believe that "Kits Reid" would acquiese in such proceeding. Governor Young is not the character to subordinate right to any political as– piration. If he were aspiring to the presidency of the United States, much less that of United States Senator-to which "Kits" attributes his stand on the Mooney case-his decisions would not be influenced thereby. This is not intended to be contro– versial, neither would it have been written, but the fact that the column of "Kits" is so widely read, and the comments carry the stamp of authen– ticity, it would be an injustice to the columist as well as the Chief Execu– tive of a great state to have allowed this error to have gone uncorrected. The State of California is brining, at the expense of the State, one Mac– Donald, a self-confessed perjurer. He will testify openly before the Supreme Court and the Advisory Board of Par– don. Upan the sincerity of his testi– mony will rest ·the fate of Billings ancl Mooney. Governor Young has given the lie to those who would make politi– cal capital of the case by his attitude in not waiting until after the primary election to hear the evidence of Mac– Donald. Many were of the opinion that he would defer the hearing. His political enimies hoped so. Respectfully, W'. J . Wheaton Editors Note:-Mr. Wheaton is well known as an editorial writer.
