An educational campaign among the colored people of Washington will be conducted during the week of April 3.10, as this city’s observance of Na- tional Negro Health week, a move- ment instituted in 1914 by Booker T. Washington. 5 The activities in Washington will be conducted under the direction of the National Negro Medical Associa- tion, the officers of the Medical School of Howard University, and colored civic organizations. According to Dr. Algernon B. Jack- son, head of the Howard University medical department, health conditions among colored people in Washington are poorer than in most large cities. The death rate liere among the people of his race, he contends, is three or four times higher than the white death rate and even above the mor- tality rate in other places. Lack of education as to means of acquiring and maintaining health, he believes, is partly responsible for the condition. Too many colored people, he said, live by the Oriental philosophy of fatalism, believing that if they are to have disease — particularly = tuberculosis — there is no alternative. % The health _education campaign program as outlined follows: Sunday, April 3, mobilization day: Monday, home hygiene; Tuesday, community. sanitation; Wednesday, child health; Thursday and Friday, special cam- paign days; Saturday, generdl clean- up dzy, and Sunday, April 10, plans will be made to carry on the work inaugurated during the campaign week. Dr. Jackson said this morning that improvement of health _conditions among the colored race will consti- tute an asset in the economic welfare of the United States by lessening the danger of disease spread and by pro- viding this country with a better equipped group of its citizens. i BRIDE’S DEATH MYSTERY UNSOLVED IN CHICAGO Two Men Released From Technical Custody—Slaying Laid to Prowler.

Armed bandits, traveling in an au- tomobile, robbed two places of busi- ness early last night, getting $135, while three boys, unarmed, appeared in one store and snatched $6 from the cash register.

TOKIO, March 2.—Vernacular newspapers, commenting on the Brit- ish reply to the American naval | armament conference proposal, gen- erally regard the possibility of a three-power conference as impractical. The Nichi Nichi Shimbun is one of the few leading. dallies to express a contrary view. While admitting dif- ficulties, the newspaper does not be. lieve that a three-power agreement is n ‘expressing a_belief that England might safely agree to fur- ther limitation, as France and_Ttaly are too impoverished to take advan- tage of the additional disarmament. The Jifi Shimpo, however, thinks it more advisable for the United States to endeavor to induce France and Italy to reconsider their decisions than to attempt to arrange a tri-party conference which has little chance of success. glwlllllllllmlI|I|IIIIIII|IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIHlllllllllllllllllllillllll|llllil‘llllillIlllllullllflllllllllllll“lll"Illm||1ml| FASHION SHOP Stock of OVERCOATS offered at ° PRICE 163 OVERCOATS Including BLUES AND BLACKS Young Men’s and Conservative Models $42.50 Grades...... $17 $52.50 Grades $62.50 Grades $75.00 Grades $90.00 Grades 4 Overcoats, Were $22.50, Now $9.00 4 Overcoats, Were $25.00, Now $11.00 Owing to the sharp reductions we are forced to charge all dlterations at actual cost NO C.0.D’S—NO PHONE CALLS—NO CHARGE ACCOUNTS Tasmion Fhe 15%¢ Freo PeLzMAN , President Ny Te eiTer S| -e- An Englishman holds the records of having broken the bank at Monte Carlo 38 times in one season and four times in half an hour one Sunday aft. ernoon last year. -Open a Charge Account For Nurses-- y with and Buckle Brre Ny o apper erm whem A special watch for both pro- fessional and social use. ¥he Gruen Nurses' Cartouche is thoroughly adaptable to Yet in smallness of case and beauty of design, it is equally as desirable for social wear.
