"Figures don't lie." PAYING 50 TO 1 Think of it! $25,000 a year in return for an expenditure of $40,000! Where else could the race make an investment which would pay such large dividends? MUCH MORE TO BE ACCOMPLISHED The surface has just been scratched. The Alliance has shown what can be done with a "pot" of $400.00; with a much larger working fund the results should be much more convincing. Every Negro in Washington should do his utmost to swell the funds with which the Alliance carried on its work. Here is an investment which pays, and pays, and pays. The membership drive extends until February 5th. You can't invest a dollar more wisely than by taking out a membership in the New Negro Alliance. [[line]] Bailey's Home Bakery 206 10th Street, N.W.

The bitterness of days like these we know; Much, much we know, yet cannot understand, What was our crime that such a searing brand Not of our choosing, keeps us hated so. Despair and disappointment only grow. Whatever seeds are planted from our hand, What though some roads wind through a gladsome land? And yet we know relief will come someday For these seared breasts; and lads as brave again Will plant and find a fairer crop than ours. It must be due our hearts, our minds, our powers; These are the beacons to blaze out the way. We must plunge onward; onward,gentlemen. STERLING A. BROWN. From his Southern Road (Harcourt, Brace and Company, N.Y., publishers.) DON'T MISS CAMPAIGN SPEAKERS The public is urged to attend the nightly meetings during the campaign for new members in the New Negro Alliance.

The Howard University dean of men charged that "Washington is a grave yard of degrees." This challenge is regarded as a direct slap to the many "leaders" in this city who subscribe to "smug complacency." From his wealth of personal experiences, Dean West told of the many problems which the Alliance would encounter in it's "economic war." The speaker's address was greeted by the audience with marked enthusiasm. Following Dean West's speech, Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of the A. M. E. Church, was introduced by William H. Hastie, who presided. Starts with Great Ovation (Continued from page 1) try. He advocated a healthy race consciousness that the Alliance was effectively creating and admitted that throughout the country our standards are pitched to a point which cannot be maintained without some form of readjustment. The problem which follows is that some change must be made in either the standards or in the source of income. Skillfully drawing his analogies from the monetary field with which he is so very familiar, Mr. Brown stated that the country is in a receptive mood for drastic changes. The influence of the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment was cited as an illustration of the change in the though of the Nation. Likewise, the great changes in the monetary system of the country were pointed out as illustrative of the willingness on the part of the people to realize the necessity for changes for the benefit of the masses. Mr. Brown, in concluding, said that in all his receptiveness of the program of the Alliance there was only one thing that he hoped the group would not forget, namely religion and loyalty to the country.
