It is to be hoped that the  citizens of Louisville will realize the importance of the coming of this great Association to the city as it is the object of this great Association to better the general health conditions of our groups of people all over the country. This is not a group of pleasure seekers, but physicians whose only object is to better the general health conditions of the race; therefore it is hoped that especially the citizens, and bu that we mean every colored man, woman and child that can, will be at the Jefferson Co. Armory Tuesday night from 6 to 10:30 to meet the visiting Doctors and hear the pr  ogram that is arranged for that night. Governor Morrow and May [illegible] will be among the [speakers].[illegible] hoped that again all of the citizens will attend, especially the mothers, as this is the special health night. The United States Health Department has charge of this program and no one can afford to miss it. Everything relative to the general care of children will be discussed. Moving pictures and lecture o different health subjects will be given bu the leading physicians of the race. The State Board of Health is giving all the assistance possible to make this the greatest meeting  if the Association. We hope that the citizens in general will come out each day to hear the papers and discussions which will go on each day in the Jefferson Country Armory and to which every one is cordially invited and uregd to attend. The Falls City Medical Association secured the Armory so that there would be plenty of room for the accomodation of every one who desire to attend any of the sessions. Friday night a general reception and dance will be given at the Armory to which the whole public is asked to attend. All are asked to come and spend a social evening with visiting doctors and friends. In connection with this article the Tuesday and Thursday nights program are printed on the editorial page of this issue.
Confidential Bank Relations A considerable number of colored people are slow to begin business with a bank officered and operated entirely by Colored people. They feel that coming in contact with the bank's forces socially and in their daily lives, and having in common the same group of friends, that their business with the bank - that is, their loans; their deposits; their withdrawals or other transactions may be a subject of discussion or information to others. This feeling to some extent is quite natural. However, it should be understood that when a bank, such as the "Million Dollar Bank," has around 3,000 customers and handles each day from ten to thirty thousand dollars worth of business, it is a practical impossibility for any employee of the Bank to remember any particular transaction. In addition to this, it should be understood that deposits, loans and other transactions of the Bank are all in the hands of some particular employee of the Bank and no officer or employee of the First Standard Bank is permitted, under any circumstance, to discuss anything pertaining to the business of any customer.
Important Announcement.
The Falls City Medical Association wishes to announce that the fee to the Assemble Dance on Friday, Aug. 26, is reduced to $2. per person. Jordan's Augmented Orchestra.

Miss Garrot Leaves for California
Miss Miriam J. Garrott, Girls' Work Secretary of teh Phyliss Wheatly Branch, Y. W. C. A., of our city, received a call to take work as Executive Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., in Los Angeles, California and left for that city Sunday, August 14.
Miss Garrott came to us last October. She is a college graduate of Fisk University, has done Social Settlement work for one year in Augusta Georgia, and from there she received a call as supervisor of the Girls' Camp [for] St. Louis, during the summer of [1920].
Some [of] our Louisville women who attended this camp saw and liked Miss Garrott and she was called to Louisville, since which time she has put forward some wonderful efforts in the extension of new work and the carrying on of the old. She had about 450 girls in clubs and every one of them loved her and the work.
Miss Garrott had sent her resignation to take effect Sept. 1. The call to leave before that time came as a sudden surprise to he rand her host of friends. All who knew Miss Garrott knew her as a very beautiful character, refined, cultured and noted for her wonderful poise.
Highest recommendations went from the Y. W. C. A. of Louisville to Los Angeles and a host of friends regret that she was given only a few hours notice to leave, as it seemed every one wanted to do something nice for her before her departure. Many tokens were carried to the Y. W. C. A., Saturday and to the train Sunday a. m. We wish  Miss Garrott great success in her new field of labor.
Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Jackson entertained at dinner last Sunday Miss May and Anna Roberts, teachers in the High School, Metropolis, Ill. They are en route home from Wilberforce University, where they attended summer school. - Miss Fannie Dunkerson waitress in the Hotel Roscoe Simmons is taking her vacation with relatives and friends in Cincinnati. - Mrs. Lillian Johnson, 540 Springer Ave., and Mrs. Bessie B. Neal, 610 E. Hill St., are leaving Monday for Paris and Lexington, for a week or 10 days. - Mr. W.B. Martin, well known business man of Paducah, Ky., was in the city this week on business.
Judge Orders "Nigger" User To Leave Town
Editor's Note.
It is too bad that this same judge is not in Louisville to pass sentence on some of our groups here who inably use the dirty epithet "nigger." when referring to another member of the race. 'Tis bad enough for men and women of the streets to use it, but it is nauseating to hear it come from the lips of certain preachers, teachers, and others that call themselves leaders. The other day we heard one Negro call another Negro "nigger." A few minutes later a white man near by began a conversation and referred to a member of the race as "nigger." This fellow who had just called one of his group "nigger" was one of the first to show resentment. We must first respect ourselves if we want others to respect us.
The Domestic Life And Accident Insurance Co. Enters Upon The Stage Of Big Business
The Board of Directors of the Domestic Life and Accident Insurance Company held an interesting meeting Wednesday to complete the details of organization which were left from the initial meeting of last week in the Pythian Auditorium when more than two hundred stockholders gathered from all parts of Kentucky to witness the final consumation of their hearts' desires. Prayers were offered by Revs. M. E. Lanier and J. M. Mundy. Fervent speeches were made by many pledging the support of various counties. To many ,it resembled a church praise meeting, tears of joy were even shed and well may this be so, for the successful culmination of this gigantic undertaking, $125,000 stock company fully paid up, is enough to thrill the heart of every Kentuckian. G. P. Hughes who conceived the idea, and his associates, J. E. Smith and W. F. Turner who helped to carry it through were given rounds of appreciative applause. Attorney R. T. Burke explained the insurance laws and the articles of incorporation. After the adoption of by-laws, the following directors were chosen: Dr. C. H. Parish, Profs. A. E. Meyzeek and H. C. Russell, J. H. Hathaway, G. P. Hughes, W. E. Turner, J. E. Smith, Chas. Brannon, A. B. Ridley, W. W. Spradling, Clarence Yount, Dr. W. H. Witherspoon, O. P. Mack, Mrs. Polly Flint, W. E. Diggs, Madisonville, Ky., John S. Davidson, Providence, Ky., Newton Jones, Danville, Ky., George Martin, Frankfort, Ky., A. G. Strauss, Paducah, Ky., J. E. Kuykendall, Bowling Green, Ky.; M. F. Lanier, Frankfort, Ky.
This corporation is Kentucky's first Negro $100,000 insurance company on the Old Line Legal Reserve basis and marks the beginning of big things in that particular field. This is a remarkable achievement in that the capital stock of 100,000 plus $25,000 for reserve and expenses are fully paid in and the O. K. of the State Insurance Commissioner Ramey given six months sooner than the time allowed by the state for organization. All Kentucky is proud of this big business enterprise, proud of her sons, G. P. Hughes, J. E. Smith and W. F. Turner who conceived the idea and by unlimited energy combed the state in the sale of stock until today there is not a county in Kentucky without a group of stockholders.
They showed great business foresight in enlisting the support of well known and efficient people that now compose the Board of Directors and the official staff. There is plenty of room in Kentucky for another Negro insurance company, in view of the fact that several white companies are doing a magnate business solely among our people without giving a dimes worth of employment to our boys and girls.
Every Negro bank, every Negro insurance company or business house, means more avenues of employment for our worthy young people and the more self respect for the race. It is a call to the race to wake up from drowsy sleep. Every Negro who withholds praise or support is either envious, ignorant or disloyal. The Domestic Life is our biggest achievement.
To safely guide the Domestic Life ship upon the insurance sea, the following official crew was selected:
President, G. P. Hughes; V. Pres. and Agency Dir., J. E. Smith; 2nd V. Pres., W. E. Diggs, Madisonville, Ky.; 3rd V. Pres., O. P. Mack; 4th V. Pres., Geo W. Martin, Frankfort, Ky.; Secretary, W. F. Turner; Asst. Sec., H. C. Russell; Treas., A. E. Meyzeek; Auditor, W. W. Spradling; Medical Director, Dr. W. H. Witherspoon.

200 Kentucky insurance men and women here in great business meet Closed with program at Lion Garden More than two hundred men and women from every county and section of the Sate assembled in the spacious $30,000 annex of the Mammoth Life and Accident Company yesterday at the call of the President in the annual meeting of the agency force of this great company It was an inspiring sight and marked a new epoch in the history of Kentucky. The occasion was made the more pleasing and conspicuous because of the part that the members of the race assembled here in their $75,000 Home office building, on the day that marked the completion of the beautiful annex. These builders of business within the race who met here to study and discuss the science, art, ethics and the economics of business for two days sets a pace not dreamed of a few years ago, except by the promoters and founders of the company. 
Among the representatives of the Mammoth Company who attended the meeting and made speeches or took a leading part in the many [illegible] taken up and [illegible] discussed were; L. [illegible] Street, [Princeton?] [illegible] Powell, Owensboro; J.G. Butler, Covington; J.P. Black, Lexington; Oliver Owsley, Danville; V.W. Dunn, Central City; Mr. M. E. Smalley, Nicholasville; Mrs. G.S. Powell, Frankfort; Mrs. Jennie McDowell, A.D. Doss, Joseph Ewing and Dr. W.T. Merchant of Louisville.

The men and women who gathered here yesterday are pioneers of big business. Among our people in Kentucky. When asked how so much could be accomplished in so short a time an official of the company made the following reply to the writer: 
"From the start the Mammoth Life and Accidence Insurance Company set out to build confidence into the minds of the people of Kentucky. It is this confidence that these people who assemble here have built, the knowledge, honor and honesty, they have carried into the one hundred thousand homes they serve, that have aroused the latent ambition and instilled the self-reliance which has made other big ventures possible. The slogan used by the company, "The Mammoth Made it Possible," is emphasized when it is known that the President and Secretary of the Gibraltar Health and Accident Insurance Company, of Indianapolis, Ind., the General Manager of the Pyramid Mutual Casualty Company of Chicago, Ill.; the President, Vice President and Secretary of the Domestic Life and Accident Company (organizing) of Louisville, Ky., and the promoters of the Anchor Insurance Company of Ohio, received all of their business and insurance training while they were members of the Mammoth Agency Force."
This convention is one of the most important and far reaching that has ever assembled in this state. Officers and representatives of the Pyramid Casuality Company of Chicago and the Gibraltar of Indiana are in attendance by their own request. 
The convention closed with a great and grand picnic and gala day and night at Lions Garden.
