Contest Is Nation-Wide Similar contests to the one to be held here have been held in all the McFarlane Visions Race As Loving Spiritual The American Negro, fundamentally, is not a materialist and is not attracted by the designs of a materialistic world, declared Prof. F. L. MacFarlane, Roosevelt Annex school assistant principal, in an address Thursday evening to graduates of the Christian Service schools at the First Baptist church. A packed house of interested spectators and auditors heard the speaker as he talked to the graduating class on the subject of "The Destiny of the Negro." Declaring that the destiny of the race, first, is to restore to the world the joy of living and second, to lead the people of the world back to their allegiance to the heart, the speaker declared that the Negro, at bottom, is an Oriental and an anti-materialist. This fact, he explained, accounts for the Negro's love of music and song, his quest of the beautiful, and of the heroic in human conduct. Expressing disgust at the manner members of the race have allowed inter-group animosities and hatreds to influence their behaviour, the speaker compared the serfish competition among Negro business and professional men to rivalry among cats. The position of the American Negro in a world of gross materialism, such as America, makes him almost a pitiable figure in the world's drama, he pointed out. Situated in a world where money is placed above every other possession, but inclined to devote himself to the spiritual side of life, the Negro is considered an anomoly, Mr. McFarlane pointed out. Three undergraduate classes were given, diplomas following the address, and a post-graduate class also was similarly rewarded. Many of the graduates received bouquets of flowers when they were called forward to receive their diplomas. Three speakers gave valedictory addresses and a similar number delivered the salutation. Rev. Charles Hawkins, pastor of the church, was master of ceremonies. FLAT FOR RENT Three rooms, steam heat, 2182 Washington.

Many of Michigan's most captivating and beautiful girls and young women took part in the Detroit contest, according to Mrs. Lane, and it is hoped that a similar interest will be taken by local young women in the Gary contest. According to Mr. Watson, Gary should make a splendid showing in the contest as the city, Mr. Watson believes, can boast of as many pretty and beautiful girls and young women as any other city of its size. Every girl who aspires for a recognition of her beauty should send in their names at once, Mr. Watson said. That a large number will take part in the affair and parade their charms before the eyes of the judges who will be named to pass upon the charms of each contest.

Showing surprising mastery of their machines, the drivers in this year's auto derby made performances in speed this year that would make even white race drivers jealous. At times in the race, the unusual speed of 110 miles an hour was attained by the leaders in the race. Practically every make of big and powerful automobile was entered in the contest, and the colored drivers showed that they could handle their cars with as much skill and as much intrepid daring as could be expected. Offer $2,500 Prizes A wealth of prizes amounting to $2500 in all were offered to the winners in the race. Racing fans from all parts of the country were in attendance at this year's contest, and they came filled with enthusiasm, lauding and applauding each intrepid driver as he darted past the grand stand. Before qualifying for the race, each driven was required to make a certain rate of speed in the trials last Tuesday. Those who could not average the speed required were eliminated. Promoters of this year's race were elated over the result of the contest. Each year, they stated, sees more people coming from all parts of the country to witness this the speed marathon. It was conservatively estimated that more than 5,000 persons saw this year's race.

EDUCATION AND THE MOVIES Stupid critics are once more assailing the movies. A stream of propaganda is being squirted at the public to drench them with the idea that this form of entertainment is an evil. One section of the attack is led by R. F. Cholmeley, president of the Incorporated Association of British Headmasters. The movies, in his opinion, are made to "attract the largest possible number of silly people in their silly moments." This is hardly accurate. If the speaker gave thought to what people did in their silly moments he would realize that they made silly statements under pretense of saying something wise. Had he stopped to consider he would have to admit that the movies are a great educational force. They reach more people every day than all the headmasters of England reach in a year. Moreover, their education is of the present, and not of the dull, dead and gloomy past. They portray vividly the hell and horror of warfare, and so preach the great lesson of peace. They take the spectator to every corner of the globe. They show him marvelous scenes and introduce him to great men. They make him well traveled and widely acquainted. They teach him deep moral lessons that the schools ignore lessons of life and love and home building. They bring vividly before the eyes great experiences of life. They teach what to avoid as well as what to strive for. They are linking the peoples of all nations into closer understanding with each other. They are thus a great factor in molding civilization. Their influence for good will be felt long after their silly critics have passed away. The only part of the nation's food raised by the middle-man is the price.—Arizona Gazette. A Harvard professor explains earthquakes by saying that Mother Earth shakes to gain symmetry. Sort of dancing for exercise as it were.—Coconino Sum. One of the most prominent entertainers in a small town is the undertaker. He is always giving box parties.—Miami Bulletin. A woman used to leave her mark on a man by using a rolling pin.

PHONE CHECKER 1061 BROADWAY THE HEALTH QUESTION By Dennis A. Bethea, M.D. Health Editor of The Amerigan YOUR HEART Statistics show that more people die from heart disease than from any other one cause. It was not always thus, for in the earlier times it was a rather rare thing for one to pass away from heart affections. However in this day of rush and crush, the excitement of making both ends meet and keeping up with the Joneses is telling on us. It takes a good deal of courage to stick on the, day after day, with small salary, and still meet the army of collectors with a smile. There is a great movement on now to educate the people in the simple methods of taking care of the heart. Here as in no other place does an "ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure." It is just as hard to build up a heart that is torn down as it is to warm up by a fire that has gone out or to bring back love that has been carelessly lost. In the first place, a whole lot of what folk call heart trouble, is not that at all. Many a time a physician is hurriedly called to the bedside of someone who was thought to be dying with heart trouble, but after a careful examination he finds that these cutting pains in the left chest were the pains of intercostial neuralgia. Perhaps you have had dizzy spells, or you may suffer from cold feet and hands, or you may be awakened some night with palpitation or rapid heart beating, but this does not always mean that the heart is to blame. Perhaps you had better watch your eating a little more closely, or give yourself a general house-cleaning or cut down on your smoking or have your eyes looked after. Sometimes you may find yourself getting short of breath when you walk or work a little faster than usual. This may mean that your heart valves are weakening, and then it may mean that you have taken on a little more flesh than is good for you. Remember that it takes more effort to take a heavier body around than it does a lighter one. But after all, there comes a time when sure enough heart disease steals up upon you. If people would have their infected tonsils removed, and their bad teeth extracted or treated, there would be very little organic heart trouble. Germs from infected tonsils and decaying teeth enter the system with the food and thence into the circulation. After these toxins get into the blood stream, they are liable to play havoc with any part of your internal organs. They often injure the delicate valves of the heart, and when these valves heal they shrivel like a withered leaf, so that the openings into the various chambers of the heart are not fully closed. But to make a long story short, your charming widow will soon be on the still hunt for another husband. There is probably nothing that cuts down the efficiency of the heart as much as giving away to the emotions of anger, fear, worry and anxiety. But there is nothing that will build it up more than cheerfulness and contentment. The human heart needs love and good cheer more than digitalis and strophanthus. The Pilgrim Fathers gained this by meditation and prayers. There are people living now who can remember when their father would gather the members of his household at the family altar at bedtime for Bible reading. If the fathers of this day would take a notion to adopt this plan they would be reading the big book at one and two o'clock in the morning. (Copyright, 1928, by The Gary American, Inc.)
