Washington, D. C.
By J. O. Hart
Washington, D. C., August 27We
so often blame the other fellow
for our short-coming, when we
ourselves are first to blame.
At 14th and You streets N.W.
the New Negro Alliance has been
fostering a - picketing of the Peo~
pie's Drug "store for several weeks.
The reason they are picketing the
store is because 75 percent of the
trade is colored, but no colored
clerks nor can colored sit -at the
soda "fountain. ? - ?
' Now that is a good enough reason
to picket, but if the colored
trade cease, as it has to a great
extent, where are they going to
1purchase tliuir drug goods.
There are about twenty-or-twet*
ty-flve~tho\Isand pepple who live in
this immediate vicinity and most
of them are colored plus thd thous
ands who transfer at the comer
each day. Yet we do not have a
decent drvjg store here that peo,
pie might make their .purchase.
So what are they going to do,
- walk six or eight blocks elseV
* !- ? 1 *
xca xur awnne du^ not
long. They are going: to start
the People's Drug stord. and you
won't be able to get them to cooperate
^with you anymore.
There is but one thing to do that
^ Is to open one or two- good drug
stores in this vicinity or put some
things in these we have.?Competition
is what the store needs. I
am sure if. we_had a iew- good colored
drug stores we could ggt
j ~ what we wanted without trouble.
Mrs. Edna Boozer Simon and
Mrs. Thelma Rallison Gallman
spent ten days here visiting
friends. They reported^_having_a

- District President making a round B

( red the message, full of fire and

spirit ran high while the man of a|

"Stop fighting the Word, and

, was the conducting of a Model v'
jj- Missionary Society, with Mrs,?T.?

p nectlon with this, some very help|
ful plans were suggested. How
r to raise money for the MSssionaries
v/ithout embarrassing the pas-' tor,
by members of the Conven.
tion. Out of all wc* have many
e missionaries made by the Lord to
be bells to sound out the notes of
