"The Truth-Quick" In our humble way we strive to serve the Colored people of America by giving them a truthful story of local and world news. S. W. Green, national head of the Knights of Pythias, has thrown his support to the anti-lynching meeting at Washington, D. C., sponsored by the Equal Rights league. DETROIT. The citizens of color of this city are up in arms and keyed to the fighting point over a reported criminal assault on a Negro woman in the basement of the Brushaber furniture store by one of its clerks last Monday. This store, which is notorious for its brutal treatment of its Negro customers, is situated in a decidedly colored neighborhood, and 75 per cent of its patrons are Negroes. Less than six months ago the manager and a clerk of this same store severely beat up a colored woman and threw the secretary of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. who had come in protest of the mistreatment of the woman, out of the store. The manager was subsequently arrested and fined $100 and a damage suit against the store is now pending. It was suggested at that time that Negroes boycott the Brushaber store. This most recent assault, which was effected by the clerk following the lady down into the basement under the guise of showing her a desk which she wished to purchase, and, catching her unaware, tripped her, it is reported, throwing her over on some old mattresses, where he criminally assaulted her. This case has been turned over to the N. A. A. C. P., and Negroes have promised to stand solidly behind that organization in pushing the case to the very limit. Meanwhile, a movement to boycott the store has been started by the local newspapers. YOUTH MUST DIE IN CHAIR GRRENVILLE, N. C. — Unless the governor intervenes, Norman Blakely, 18, will die in the electric chair, December 19, for the murder of D. M. Garrett, a convict guard. WASHINGTON, D. C. — Three hundred thirty-five women are to have new dormitory accommodations in the three buildings now being erected at Howard university, by the Maiatico Construction company of Washington, D. C., with Albert I. Cassell as architect. Interrace Meet Adjourns as Klansman Rises to Give Talk department of the Inter-racial commission, which has headquarters at Atlanta, Ga., got the floor and voiced an opposition opinion to having the Klan come into what was considered a private meeting of members of the Inter-racial group and propagandize on the Klan philosophy, to the discredit of the Negro membership. Another white woman, member of the commission, disagreed with Mrs. Ames and felt that the white sheet spokesman should be given a chance to tell the Negroes what the Klan could do for them if they stayed in their place. A cross debate ensued between Mrs. Ames and the other lady, which terminated in Mrs. Ames calling for a referendum among the colored people. She said: "I think this matter should be decided by the colored members of this body, since they are the ones involved. Let them say whether they want to hear it." It was at this moment that Dr. Fuller arose, ostensibly to speak for the colored, but once recognized by the chair, he said: "I move we adjourn sine die." Thus the three-day session of the Texas Inter-racial commission came to its close unceremoniously. VOL. III. No. 52 Special Cops Charged With Holdup of 15 White Texas Police Use Guns, Brass Knucks; Land in Jail Break In on Party To Stage Robbery 4 Beaten With Knucks; Victims All Knew Their Assailants DALLAS, Tex. — Two special policemen employed at State Fair park as watchmen were charged with robbery with firearms in complaints accepted Sunday morning by Assistant District Attorney Harry S. Pollard in connection with the holdup and robbery of fifteen Negroes near Fair park in the morning. The two men, W. H. Clarkson and C. C. Chapman, were arrested after several Negroes reported the holdup to officers. City detectives arrested the men in stables at the east end of Fair park ,adjoining the fish hatcheries. Break Up "Social." Detective John R. Roberts, who swore out the compalints, named two complaining witnesses as having been robbed of $6 and $5 The special policemen entered the front room where the fifteen were, he said. One was armed with a pistol and the other with brass knuckles. They crowded the Negroes to a back room, lined them along a wall and robbed them of between $25 and $30. Victims Beaten At least four were struck by the white man with the brass knuckles, the detective said. Following the robbery, one victim was treated at the Emergency hospital for severe cuts on his lips. Three of his front teeth had been knocked out by a white man with brass knuckles, he told Dr. L. B. Hurt. The robbed men all knew the two park policemen, and identified them immediately when city detectives investigated. All live in the vicinity of Fair park. Neither of the officers is connected with the city police department, although Chapman is said to have been a city patrolman at one time. Social Equality Is Upheld by DuBois Social Equality Is Upheld by DuBois BOSTON. — Declaring that the white man brought the Negro to this country against his will, held his women as concubines, the entire race as slaves, and in this civilization is persecuting him, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, radicalist, in a discussion with Professor Thomas N. Carner of the Department of Economics of Harvard university, created a furore. The men were debating on the subject, 'Should Negroes Be Encouraged to Social Equality,' at the Ford Hall forum Sunday evening. Professor Carver criticised militant Negor leadership. DuBois, in his reply, scored this condition and, speaking of social equality, said all Negroes desired social equality with white people. ARGUE OVER DOLLAR; ONE KILLED NEW ORLEANS. — An argument over a dollar in a game of pool led to the death of George Anderson. Anderson was shot twice by Buddy Marshall, who is being sought by the police. DALLAS. Tex. — The Texas In- DALLAS, Tex. — The Texas Inter-racial commission abruptly closed its annual session in the lecture room of the First Baptist church, (white) Saturday afternoon, when Dr. Fuller of Bishop college offered a motion to adjourn following a moment of excitement and confusion by a member of the Ku Klux Klan asking to speak. Following the reading of resolutions and the report of several committees a tall, lanky, cow-punching type of Klansman rose to the floor and, after addressing the chair, stated: "I am a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I've sat through all the sessions of this convention and have been making notes of what has been taking place here. A complete report will appear in the Klan's official organ. I want an opportunity to tell the colored members of the group what the Ku Klux Klan thinks of them." Breathless silence momentarily prevailed. During this brief period of confusion and indecision, while the chair was trying to decide whether the request should be granted and the floor given to the champion of white supremacy. Mrs. Jesse' Daniels Ames, formerly of Texas, now head of the women's ? The Gary American EIGHT PAGES Aids Movement 9 Charge Clerk With Assault On Customer Detroit Store Has Bad Reputation; Rape Is Latest Act Seeks Wedding But Is Handed Long Pen Term PROVIDENCE, R. I. — Neither his expressed willingness and attempt to marry the white girl whom he betrayed nor the girl's plea that she loved him dear saved Howard Douglas, a colored youth, from a term in State's I son. The case of Douglas was gvien much publicity when two weeks ago, Judge Walsh dismissed a juror from further service when he learned that this juror had held out for acquittal during the trial. According to the court, the juror's reasons for acquittal seemed foreign to the issue in the case. The judge in imposing sentence said that while on the stand the witness had told a story which the court did not believe and which a majority of the jury did not believe, adding that he was imposing not only punishment which the defendant would not son forget, but that he was teaching others a lesson. Douglas testified that he had promised to marry the girl on learning of her condition, and had applied for a marriage license at city hall when the clerk, becoming suspicious, notified the police, who on investigation, arrested the youth on the assault charge. Goodfellows Open Home For Jobless Salvation Army Assists In Supplying Food Goodfellows Open Home For Jobless Salvation Army Assists In Supplying Food The Gary Goodfellows' Charities, under the direction of City Treasurer Herman Werber, have opened a "flophouse" at 1932 Broadway for unemployed Negro men to find a haven for the night. This makes two "hotels" for the unemployed, the other was opened a few weeks ago at 920 Adams, for white men. The new shelter for homeless men was made available to the Goodfellows by the Superior Packing company, owners of the building. It is a one-story brick structure, steam heated, and with room for about 75 beds. Cots have been obtained from the county; the Salvation army supplied blankets, while the 113th Engineers' regiment of the national guard furnished the mattresses. Six men were lodged in the 'hotel' the first night it opened, Saturday, and on the second night 12 men sought shelter. The number has increased steadily each night, until now ther are more than 40 unemployed homeless men being sheltered each night by the Good-fellows, and fed by the Salvation Army. Slayer Snatched Again From Electric Chain CHICAGO. — Leon Brown was snatched again from death in theLECTIC chair Thursday night when Judge Charles A. Williams of the Criminal court granted a stay of execution to Richard Westbrooks, attorney, to permit him to make another appeal to the Illinois supreme court. Earlier in the day Justice Frederic R. De Young had denied Brown a writ of supersedas.

Kluxers Meet in Virginia Church Stoutly Deny Reports Of "Natural Death" ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The Ku Klux Klan in this vicinity, including the towns of Ballston, Fairfax, Charlottesville, Occoquan and Fredricksburg, Virginia, and other nearby towns in Maryland and the District of Columbia, assembled her last week in open protest to a recent report that the size of the organization is diminishing. Gowned and hoded, but not masked, they attended en masse the service at the Trinity Methodist church to hear a sermon by the Rev. Emmett R. Spencer, pastor, on "A Larger Meaning of Armistice Day." The minister took as his text the words, "and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks." By actual count, there were 162 members of the klan dressed in the costume of the organization. In addition there was a band of 28 pieces. After the offertory of the church Howard Edward Beaty, grand dragon of province No. 1, of northern Virginia, arose and complimented the pastor on behalf of his organization.

Nab Two More As Cab Bandits; Case Shaken In New Identification Dentist Freed On Charge Of "N-S-F" Check Proves Check Issued For Materials Was Not Done for Fraud Charged with issuing checks with the intent to defraud, Dr. C. V. Dixon, 1901 Broadway, was found not guilty in Judge Herman Key's courtroom Wednesday morning. Dr. Dixon was defendant against charges filed by the Dearborn Dental Laboratories of Chicago. In the bill of complaint, as represented by Henry Rose, treasurer of the Chicago company, Dr. Dixon is alleged to have issued a check for $25 without having sufficient funds in the bank to cover it. The plaintiff charged that the dentist owed them a bill for materials, and that the check was in partial payment of same. Also, when the defendant was notified that the bank had returned the check, he made no effort to redeem it. Attorney John W. Robinson, in representing Dr. Dixon, proved to the satisfaction of the court that the check was not issued with any fraudulent intent. He proved the fact that at the time the check was issued other checks of larger amounts were issued. Those checks were honored at the bank, before the contested check was sent over by the clearing house of Chicago. He also stated that Dr. Dixon left the city shortly thereafter, not knowing that his bank balance was not sufficient to redeem the check issued to the Chicago company. He later attempted to redeem the check, but the dental laboratories refused. Governor-Elect Is Arousing Negro Ire As Capital's 'Coon' OKLAHOMA CITY. — W. H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray, governor-elect of Oklahoma, has already aroused the ire of Negroes of this state by appointing Jim Noble, who has worked at the capital for all but two governors since statehood, "coon of the administration." "Jim," Murray said as he appeared at the capital Saturday, "you remind me of the Negro who went to New York to be a doorman and then came home to talk about it. "Rastus,' said one of his friends when he got back, 'does o' all know this firm of Kuhn, Loeb, an' 'sociates." "Know it," was the reply, 'boy, I see the coon of that there firm.' "Well, Jim," Murray concluded, "you'se the coon of this here administration." PHILADELPHIA.—Stating that the "open letter" to the president of Lincoln university, purporting to be signed by a Lincoln alumnus, E. C. Hall, were false, and that no such man as "E. C. Hall" ever studied at the school, William Hallock Johnson, president of the school, has branded as malicious lies the stories to the effect that "petting parties" and "all-night orgies" followed many of the big football games. President Johnson declares: "Investigation shows that 'he charges made in the letter are false' After the A. & T. game on Saturday there was an informal dance, well chaperoned and orderly, which broke up at a reasonable hour on Saturday evening, and all visitors left the campus before midnight." Students from other schools, however, insist that Lincoln students have been holding wild parties for years.

Sweetheart Is Untrue; Lover Uses His Gun Woman and Rival Shot As Man Breaks Into Their Love Nest Believing that his sweetheart, Minnie Ferguson, 38, 1729 Pennsylvania street, was not being true to him, Alexander King went there early Monday morning and shot the woman and her paramour, Julius Ross, 31, 1601 Van Buren street. King got into the house by breaking through a glass panel in the front door. He found the woman and his rival sleeping in a bedroom. Without a word, he opened fire on the couple, wounding the woman in the head and the man in the jaw. Both were rushed to St. Antonio hospital where their wounds were treated.

At the same time still another suspect, James Browning, arrested in a Broadway poolroom, was freed by Judge Herman Key when John Wida, after allegedly identifying him at the police station as the man who held him up on two occasions, stated in city court that Browning was not the robber. Get Long Terms Dave Fowler, 2228 Madison, and Wayman Roberts, 2377 Pierce, were arrested, tried, and sentenced last week to serve from 10 to 25 years in the state prison for their part in the robberies. Fowler was arrested with a gun answering the description of the one with which Jeffries was shot and implicated Roberts in his confession. Fowler admitted he shot Jeffries. Browning and Armstrong were arrested this week by Detectives John Bolden and Wardell Fields who are also credited with arresting the others. Browning Discharged Wida testified in city court that Browning was not the man he picked out and identified at the city jail. Detective Bolden, however, insisted that the right man had been brought into court. Judge Key settled the case by discharging Browning. Armstrong pleaded not guilty to complicity in the holdups, but due to his positive identification by Jeffries, was held to the grand jury in bonds of $2,000. Attorneys for the suspected man say they will be able to prove of the satisfaction of the court when the case comes to trial that their client is not the guilty bandit but that it is a case of mistaken identity on the part of the cab driver and police officials. Meanwhile, the hunt for the remaining members of the gang is going steadily on. Bolden and Fields claim they will soon be able to arrest the remainder of the ring.

Fighting Men Vow Feasance To Selassie | 100,000 Tribe Warrior: Hold Demonstration Before Emperor ADDIS ABEBA, Abyssinia. Pledging fealty and assuring him of their readiness to defend him against all enemies, one hundred thousand Ethiopian — warriors marched before the newly crowned Emperor Haile Selassie I last Fri- day. Attending the demonstration were the many foreigners who had attended the coronation services the previous Sunday. Chieftains Wear Lions’ Manes Shouting and gesticulating, the hordes of feudal chieftans and tribesmen made a spectacular sight, garbed in lion’s manes and armed with lances and swords. They rode up before their monarch at a furious gate on beautiful spirit- ed horses. Haile Selassie sat on a golden throne, at the top of a hill, wear- ing the uniform of the Commander in Chief of the Ethiopian army. His headgear was made from the mane of a lion. As hte warriors from the desert and mounatins arrived before their emperor they flung themselves from their steeds and lay pros- trate before him, swearing their allegiance, American Guests Present Among the’ Emperor's foreign guests included the Americans, H. Murray, General W. W. Harte, Charles L. Cooke and Addison Southard, American consul at _Ad- dis Abeba. They showed much in- terest and consternation in the pro- ceedings, as the gallant warriors galloped at breakneck speed up the hillside, brandishing their lances and yelling loudly, While it was known that the demonstration was to be one of fealty, the local authorities took all precautions against any outbreak of the tribesmen. Machine guns were trained on the horsemen from strategic points. A slight furore was created when the Em- peror’s guards feared once that majesty’s life was in danger and forced the horsemen back down the hill. Nothing came of it.

The brides are: Martha Hatfield, Myrtle Hudson, —_Irine Reigh and Edyth Long. The cere- monies were performed by the Rey. Lloyd Deacon, of the Baptist church on Themis street. The “Four Musicians” were known heretofore as _ inveterate bachelors who had no time for “skirts.” For eleven years these partners have been a hit with the residents of the county. From town to town they traveled in a lumber wagon, drawn by two sleek black horses, and they played their instruments wherever thfley stopped, sometimes even in the country. They lived alone in a house on the summit of Lover's Leap above Main street, overlooking the Mis- sissippi river. They did their own cooking, washing, and gardening, raising the bulk of their foods, having a garden spot that covers almost an acre. They are neat dressers, immacu- late, and manage to live by taking up a collection at the end of each concert they give in the neighbor- ing towns. They have arranged a schedule which names each stop the hour and the details prepara- tory to each program. In the win- ter season they play dances. in halls, with, not infrequently, a square dance at their house on the high hill. They will take their brides inte the house on Lover's Leap, where they aim to live together, the mu. sicians being even in marriage in separable.

The selling of many churches, if any ene would buy them, was alsc advocated by the speaker, whc averred that in this manner much money could be released for busi- ness purposes. Mr. Greene alsc recommended the consolidation of churehes in order to reduce the carrying charges of the group and the money be released for produc- tive enterprises. Jobs Not Nourished “Unreliability, lack of punctual. ity, want of training, and the gen- eral failure to take care of their jobs all served to drive the Negro out of his customary jobs,” declar- ed Mr. Greene when discussing the displacement of colored workers. “The day of ‘nigger’ jobs, exclu- sively set apart for the race is gone, and the Negro must produce in order to create jobs for their own group in times of economic stress,” he continued. A general back-to-the-farm move- ment by persons now crowding the cities was suggested by Mr. Greene as one of the remedies for the re- lief of unemployment, not to raise cotton, but to engage in truck farming, poultry or cattle raising. Back to the Farm Mr. Green also urged that the Negro patronize colored businesses, and not to spend their cash with the white storekeeper and expect the colored entrepreneur to “carry” them on the book. He spoke ap- provingly of the boycotting of white businesses under certain con- ditions to force open new jobs for the race. The restriction of for- eign immigration until the present economic crisis is passed, was also advocated by Mr. Greene.

Appeals Filed Against 2 Insurance Companies Four suits against two insurance companies, involving claims for more than $1,400, have been filed in Superior court on appeal from the city court. The claims are: two cases against the Washingon Fidelity National Insurance com- pany and two against the National Life and Accident Insurance com- pany. They were filed by Attorney A. S. Moore, representing Clarence Jackson, 2472 Polk street. In the original case, which was tried the first week in September in city court, the plaintiff charged that the insurance companies had illegally cancelled poicies on the life of Mrs. Katie Kendall, aunt of the plaintiff, now deceased. Spe- cial Judge Samuel P. Moise, who was sitting in city court at the time, ruled that the policies were elapsed at the time of the ingured's death and that the plaintiff had no claim. No date has been set for a hear- ing on the appealed cases.

Morris Williams, supreme head of the Knights and Daughters of Honor, have forwarded their sup- port of the open national colored Anti-Lynching congress to be held here in John Wesley Zion church, l4ht and Corcoran, November 24 and 25, at invitation of the Nation- al Equal Rights league whose own annual meeting begins the 26. They have been added to the ad- visory commitee. Dr. W. H. Higgins, president of the National Medical association; J. Finley Wilson, G. E. R. of Elks; Rey. T. S. Harten of New York, A. Philip Randolph, organizer of the porters’ union; Noble T. M. Dent, for the Shriners; and Roth- schild Francis of New York, for- mer Virgin Isles editor, will speak and have been added to the com- mittee of management, which the president of the National Afro- American Civil league, has been invited to join. Pledges of support have come in from many places. Colored Wash- ington awaits the coming of in- dividuals and organization dele- gates with cordial interest. Intend- ing and annual Thanksgiving Day visitors are urged to come in early in order to attend the sessions. Everything is in readiness, Pronose Week Much interest has been expressed in the league’s proposal of a na- tional “Anti-Lynching Week” Nov- ember 23-28. The league asks all churches and other organizations to make Sunday, November 23 “An- ti-Lynching Sunday” to begin the “week” with sermons on lynching as a national sin. ‘or Monday November 15, 1980 pe eS mass meetings it suggests lynching as subversion of government; Tues- day as fostering race prejudice; Thursday, especially at union Thanksgiving services, as breeding blood-lust and disrespect for law; Friday as aid to unrest and anar- chy. The fee for individual representa- tion is $1.00, for representatives of churches, lodges, committes or or- ganizations, $2.00. Every kind of race body is urged to send, and anti-lynching citizens committees are asked to hold mass meetings next week to send represenatives, the cbject being a national race demonstration of protest, and evolving of plans for protection and an official race expression of causes and methods of prevention.

Read The American Are you in need of MONEY See Sam at 1604 Broadway Phone 2-3477 Can the Race of a Woman Be Told by Legs’ Shapeliness? November 15, 1930 Exercise and Culture May Remedy Limbs Of No Beauty Re siane Myers in which she walks? This much discussed question with its advocates pro and con stalked to the front again this month during the visit of Prof. Tekra Rannavolona, distinguished educator and artist, of Cape Town, South Africa, who emphatically de- clared he Gould tell the race to which a woman belonged by ob- serving the shapeliness or ugliness: of her limbs and the manner in which she walked. Says Prof. Rannavolona, “The limbs of American women are os a general rule very shapely. ‘They do not have the hulking bulk that usually characterizes the limbs of immigrant women, and neither do they have the emaciated appear- ance of those characterizing her darker American sister. The gait of the American women is agile and graceful, that of the others usually dull of pep and shiftless.” This assertion on the part of the eminent African artist brought down a storm of protest about his head. But storm or no storm, the man making the assertions sticks to his guns and cites proof in con- tention of his assertion. “My observations are not unus- ual,’ says Prof. Rannavolona “What I have said can be attested to by most any impartial observer you meet. Many indeed have been the artists of international repute who have eulogized the beautiful limbs of the women of America and who have paid despairing tri- butes to the limbs of her darker sister. Why are the limbs of these women more beautiful than those of other women in this country is a question that has been asked many, many times.” Quite naturally, limbs are judged by the standard of the ruling race in any country. Beauty being a thing of relative value, one might expect to find in other parts of the world a different standard for beautiful legs. In certain parts of Africa, among the tribes that call long necks a sign of beauty and sometimes stretch them to as much as fourteen inches in length, the standard of a beautiful limb is probably changed. The pigmy tribes probably have a still diiver- ent type of beauty that pleases the eye of the pygmy “sheiks.” But there is also the possibility that it is such an old story with them that it has lost ail interest. You see, they are used to this thing longer than we Americans can claim to be. A Chinese woman with little feet has undoubtedly “a nice looking limb, if one could but see it. But she wears long trousers, and no- body really knows what a mult!- tude of sins a pair of trousers will hide. In view of the fact that we have a lack of evidence, those who will, may draw conclusions for themselves. The squaws of the race of Chief Sitting Bull, if reports are correct, were inclined, for the most part, to obesity. We can see evidence of what obesity generally does to the average woman. The calves, shape- ly and young, of yesterday's slim princess change into full grown cows on today’s fat woman. On the other hand, limbs of the copper -skinned maiden have been very fascinating to certain white Americans. Take Capt. John Smith, for instance. Not that that was the real cause of the affair, but still it may have been a con- tributing factor. Another authority who supports the opinion of Prof. Rannavolona quoted above is Dr. Mowgli Taj, famous physician of Caleutta, Up- on his arrival in these United States recently he made the re- mark that there was a world of difference between the limbs of the women of India and those of the women in this country. The jearned doctor should have said that there was a half a world of difference between the two types as, geographically speaking, he would have been more nearly correct. At any rate, however, he made it strong enough to show to the peo- ple that there was much difference between the two types of beauty. Styles in limbs change pretty much the same as styles in dresses, only not quite so often. Venus de Milo, a few centuries ago, had the most beautiful limbs of any one known. But if she were to appear today upon one of the fashionable ulevards, they would get hardly ore than a fleeting glance. The t'end of the present day is to- ward slimmer and more streamline Shapes in both cars and women. The limbs of this same Venus were jarget around both the calf and the ankle. There seems to be a wide dis- crepancy between the limbs of the women of the darker race in America. The most common of them all is the slim type that gen- erally brings out the calf muscle To prove this, go to the average show that boasts of a chorus of such women and look ‘em over. Large women with toothpick “pins” are quite common. Ary observer is likely to feel that someone has been cheated out of her birthright. It must be admit- ted that these defects are being overcome, so there is still hop Now and then, one sees a really Since these intellectual giants dis- cussed everything elise, one might be tempted to wonder why they overlocked this. To tell the truth about the mat- ter, it is distinctively a twentieth ‘century problem. Not so long ago, it wasn't definitely known that women had limbs. Long dresses that dragged the ground hid them completely from view. One was fortunate indeed if he got a glance of a lady's foot. It is probable that the speculation of the time concerned race by looking at the pedal extremeties. The poets of the time made odes and sonnets to the glance of a fair damsel's eye or the wave of a hand. In this country, since the emancipation from long skirts, free verse has also become popular. Of course, there is no definite knowledge that one influenced the other, but it furnishes much food for thought. Science takes up everything eventually and endeavors to ex- piain things on a straight-forward, matter-of-fact basis. Now they have studied deep into the matter and they have brought forth ex- planations as to the reason for differences between the limbs of the women of different races. Culture, says the scientist, has made one woman's limb shapely and lack of it has kept another womans’ limb unshapely. The im- migtant woman coming to these shores also possseses a very un- shapely limb, the scientist points out. This woman, like the Amer- ican woman's darker sister, has been used to hard tasks requiring great muscular strength of both arm end limb. As a consequence, the arms and legs of thes women have become greatly overdeveloped or else disproportionate. “As in nearly all rules of science, there are variations. Ever now and then an observer will come across a pro- duct from this stock that has limbs of great beauty, but in this ease, it is argued, if the history of the women with the shapely limb be traced, it will be found she has jong Jed a life calling for no undue physica! exertion. One can readily see from the above that ungainly limbs are not markings of any particular race but rather a result of purely physical conditions. On that basis any woman can hope to have beautiful limbs if she cares for herself in the proper manner. Proper nourishment when young will help to offset any tendency to- ward unsightly limbs. The weak- est part of a child’s body is gen- erally the limbs as it takes a year before the average child can walk. Lack of athletic training when the child becomes older is another fac- tor. It scems as if they disregard gymnastics as much as possible. The right amount and kind of training makes a lot of difference. The draft horse has huge ungainly legs while the race horse, especially trained, has slim, graceful legs. Ta this day and time, a woman's fortune is often in her limbs. Mlle. Mistinouette of Paris was a notable example. Her limbs were insured for $100,000. The chorus girls in the majority of shows capitalize upon these necessary appendages— legs. Our own Florence Milsl reap- ed much of her popularity from this scurce. The famed professor from Cape ‘Town and the learned doctor from Calcutta, made no mention of bow- legged women and their opposites, those who are termed knock-kneed. They are both wise and discreet enough to kecp silent on this phase of the problem. There hasn't been much discussion about this matter as it is probable that the same amount of constructive criticism hasn't been given here. And_ be- cause of this, it is not definitely known that one race or a nation- ality produces a different kind of bowleggedness from another race or nationality. The popular opin- jon seems -to be that if an indiv- ual is bow-legged, she is bowlegged, and that's all. Nothing has been handed down to us to tell the style in limbs of the popular Misses in the past few centuries. For all one knows, it may have been popular to sport a mean pair of bow-legs. It is more likely, however, that it didn't make any particular difference. The aforementioned long skirts kept the subject a hidden mystery, until it was too late to do anything about it. Cleopatra, the Queen of Sheba, and Helen of Troy “did their stuff” in the olden days, but all it took then was a beautiful face. Kinz Solomon cought to be men- AX.

But the space really should be given to Mr. Browning and “Peaches.” f "Prof. Rannavolona also mention: ed something about distinguishing ‘the race of a woman by the man: ‘ner in which she walks. There i apparently, a grain or so of truth in this contention; although, to be frank, things are becoming so ‘world wide in scope and people are becoming such cosmopolitans that the barriers which separate one race from another are being slowly yet surely pushed aside. The wad: ale of the over-plump woman whe pushes her cargo of flesh down the street as if it were worth $5.00 a pound, is practically the same in all races. Those who are tired from undue physical exertion show ‘the same lack of spirit in their walk. On the other hand, one hears ‘the phrase in barber shop and pool ‘hall, that ‘she walks like a white woman" There is generally a lack of spirit in the carriage of Negrc ‘women that is quite noticeable. It can be laid to the scientific expla. ‘nation of too much physical exer- tion of a type that ruins instead of develops. The racial spirit was broken during the long years of forced servitude, and our women are just coming to the point where ‘they cen hold up their head with the rest. Even this can't be done in all parts of these United States. Conditions aren't quite so bad along this line as it would seem The limbs of the darker women of America are not, as a whole, as beautiful and as shapely as those of the American white woman, but this can eventually be remedied by the right sort of exercise and not too much over-exertion, physically. You never can tell, as the bandit said when he robbed the deaf and dumb man, what might happen in a few years . The only trouble is, if styles in shapely limbs suddenly take @ sudden spurt changing as rapidly as do styles in dresses and hats, there won't be any need to exercise and develop them because next spring Paris might set knock- Inees as the example. That being the case, a good surgeon could make plenty of money. ‘As there seems to be little dan- ger of the aforementioned possi- bility actually happening soon, it would be a nice thing if some re- former, out of work at the present time would start a natioual e:m- paign for “more beautiful and more shapely legs among Race women.” Potter’s Program Will Consist of Folksongs Announcement was made this week that the tenor recital of Walter V.

The Handy Man MAKING A FISH AQUARIUM Though the round fish globe s kind generally found in the average home, the rectangular tank with straight sides is the more suitable. An aquarium of this type can be easily made. For instance, if a tank of five gallons water capacity is desired, the dimensions will be approximately fourteen inches long, eight inches wide, and ten inches high. Angles of brass or iron, as desired, are obtained of the proper dimensions and riveted or welded together. For an aquarium of this size, aquarium glass or ordinary double thick window glass will answer for the sides, while a piece of heavy plate glass or slate can be used for the bottom. The whole aquarium can then be mounted on a hardwood board. It is always a good policy to put a strip of glass about one-half inch wide, across each inside corner of the aquarium as this will aid in strengthening the joint. The triangular space formed by this strip of glass should be filled with aquarium cement. A cement which has successfully used by the Bureau of Fisheries for many years is composed of five parts of putty, one part of red lead and one part of litharge. These are mixed to the proper consistency by the use of boiled linseed oil and few drops of dryer. A suffi- Suits Cleaned and Pressed 69c MON. and TUES.

The bride will wear white velvet with a seed-pear cap over her veil. MRS. H. X. 2. I am to be married at Thanksgiving. As our home is not large, the reception, followed by breakfast, will be held in the double parlor of the parish house. The back parlor will hold the breakfast tables and the marriage service will be read by the minister in the front parlor. Would it be possible to have an aisle arrangement in the center? Both rooms are spacious. What decorations are suggested? DORCAS Answers: 1. Autumn leaf coloring may be the motif of the bridesmaids' costumes; orange, russet and crimson work out most pictorially in velvet gowns with hats ot match, and bouquets of yellow and wine-red chrysanthemums. 2. Autumn leaves and chrysanthemums are seasonable decorations. Rows of chairs may be placed at either side of an aisle in the church parlor. Description of this arrangement and other details will be found in Helen Decie's leaflet, "Wedding Etiquette, Formal and Informal," mailed anywhere on receipt of a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Bracelets and Earliest Days Tied Together Worn Before Clothes in History of Man; Worn On Arms at Present By Helia Trope It is interesting to trace the history of the bracelet, said to have been with us since the beginning of the world, and believed by some to be of earlier origin than the necklace, and worn even before clothes were considered necessary. They were mentioned in the Old Testament, in the days of Pharoah, and it is believed were used by the Romans as a form of money. Wrist, upper arms and ankles were graced by them, even as today, though we would scoff at being called barbarians as we continue to wear them as folk did in other days. The list of things bracelets have been made from is varied as the life and experiences of mankind; gold, silver, coins, studded with precious stones; of copper, straw, shells, beads, even iron, dried skins, teeth, claws of animals, tortoise shell, wood — what a list to trace the evolution of the bracelet from. Within the past few years the bracelet has undergone some interesting changes. One of the most interesting, perhaps, is that it has again, after several generations "gone masculine." For it was as feminine as feminine could be for many years, and any man who dared to wear one would have been put down unhesitatingly as queer or a sissy. It was time, just time, that brought this change about. During the World War it was discover- cient amount of lamp black is then added to change the color from red to slate. After the cement has been applied, it should be allowed to dry thoroughly before any water is placed in the aquarium.

And now the man who keeps his watch in a pocket is becoming more and more rare. The wrist watch seems to be in keeping with the speed to which modern life is keyed, a glance, no fumbling, and we know whether we can walk on take a taxi to keep that next appointment. Women were quick to take up the watch bracelet idea; they found it ornamental; and without pockets or a waistline, where could a poor watch go? But now that the waistline has returned, the bracelet remains, its convenience proven, it holds its own in changing style. Probably few who purchase a modern watch bracelet, pause to realize that time is linking them to the past. But it is so. And, as in the beginning of the world, cherished possessions still grace the wrist. "I Want to Know" Q. How can I remove a rusty screw? A. Heat a poker or spike red-hot and apply it to the head of a screw that is rusty and obstinate. When the screw has become hot it can be removed very easily. Q. How can I take away all dampness of rooms? A. Place blocks of camphor in all corners and on the shelves, replacing them as they evaporate. Q. How can I remodel a straw hat? A. If it is desired to change the shape of a straw hat ,pour boiling water over it, and while it is hot and pliable, reshape it with the hands. Take a bowl or vessel that will fit the crown and place the hat on ths while workng, also leaving it on the bowl to dry in the sun. Lower-Merritt DECORATING CO.

INDIANA Thanksgiving Turns Eyes to Dining Rooms Many New Decorations Vie for Prominence In Modern Homes The approach of Thanksgiving turns the spotlight on the family dining room. The feast of that day of days must have an unrivalled setting, and the roast turkey this year promises to be surrounded by such a shimmer of handsome damask, and glitter of silver, that the bird might almost be reconciled to the sacrifice. Though pastel tints are still popular in table linens, especially pale yellow at this season, the pure white taupe cloth, however, makes a good background for the rich colors, ruby, amethyst and smoky shades of the new glassware, stemmed in black. Cloths of cutwork and mosale will grace many a lovely table. The newest napkin is an oblong affair, in French size, eighteen by twenty-four inches, and the cloth may be selected from white or pale colorings, even to a delicate gray that resembles silver cloth. Mirrored surfaces reflect the splendor of the table appointments. There are mirrors, the size of the table dolly, on which the plates rest throughout the courses, with smaller ones for the goblets. Large mirrors for the center hold many a decorative effect. There are lovely bowls to be filled with fruit or flowers; there is a flower holder of French bronze, with decorated mirror sides, and there are also fascinating sets in Dresden to give a dramatic note to the scene. One intriguing set represents an autumn hunting party, with the pack leading the way, followed by the mounted hunters in top hat and pink coat, with grooms walking alongside, all in bisque. Harvesters, or knights and ladies on horseback may also be assembled on the Louis XV mirror plaque in the center. Or perhaps it may hold a pair of graceful crystal swans, or a dignified silver stork. Artificial fruits not only rival Dame Nature's rich colorings, but also offer great clusters of silver grapes and gold and silver oak leaves as well as those realistically colored in scarlet or gold. Chinaware and glass carry out any color scheme desired, and generally a combination of two or more colors is planned. Dainty little cocktail glasses for the season carry out the idea of sports. Some bear hunting scenes, and a recent arrival is composed of a half-dozen low glasses, gold-rimmed, each designed with a dog of different breed, all in black and white. As for the cocktail napkins, their designs are legion. Many are oblong, conforming to the dinner napkin. They are hand-blocked in a more or less modernistic impression of barnyard fowls; or are designed as an oak leaf, hand-worked in pastel tints. They may be tiny squares of fine linen, embroidered with colorful cocks or may take the form of a triangular trifle, edged with Banch lace and with a lace cook as inset in the center. The same motif prevailed in designing the stopper for an attractive cocktail decanter of crystal which lately hailed from Czechoslavakia. The turkey which rests on the huge platter of china or silver is traditional. His appearance at Here NOW ...the NEW Super ZENITH MODEL 61 $155 LESS TUBES ZENITH AUTOMATIC LONG DISTANCE RADIO C. J.

This mighty production is still playing to packed houses every performance. All the thrill, the beauty, the drama of the West is shown in the mighty spectacle. Staunch, fearless pioneers traveling through hardships and dangers to reach the trail to love, life, homes and happiness. The actors actually lived the life of the pioneers going through all the hardships and dangers that their predecessors endured. Raoul Walsh, who directed this inspiring screen masterpiece informed all the players that they would have to live the same lives, wear the same clothes, sleep in covered wagons, and have to endure all the hardships and dangers of the history-making pioneers. John Wayne plays the part of Breck Coleman, friend to the Indians and scout for the train of wagons. Marguerite Churchill as the sincere heroine, Tully Marshall, Tyronne Power, David Rollins, and 20,000 extras complete the cast of "The Big Trail." that first Thanksgiving feast on New England shores marked him for all Thanksgivings to come. But his running mate, the cranberry, has also a romantic history. It was sought in New England woods by the early Indians, for its beauty, its flavor and health-giving properties, and later was adopted by the Pilgrims for the same reasons. Visitors to Cape Cod are struck by the singular beauty of the cranberry bogs, low and level, and covered with a close vine rich with crimson berries gleaming against the white sand at this season. A cranberry harvesting scene is said to have all the colorful beauty which nature bestows on autumn fields. It is no wonder that its piquant sauce has become enshrined along with the turkey, as the symbol of the nation's Thanksgiving table! An Advertisement in The American brings results.

I don't blame it on anyone but myself and circumstances. I thought the sex attraction that I felt was love. We are married six years, and have a girl of four and a half. Things have not run very smoothly; home broken up, furniture sold, I am working. After five months of coaxing, we fixed up a home again. In all fairness to him I will say that he has not treated me badly since then. Dear Betty, I will tell you that which I would not voice to my own mother, although she and I are just like friends, I have never in the last three years kissed my husband willingly. I do not hate him; I do not love him. "Now comes the problem. I have fallen in love with a neighbor, a boy of eighteen, of a lovely family, and he with me. I told him I do not love him, because I thought it very selfish of me to tell him so. But that does not help any. I know that we only live once, and each person owes themselves happiness; but if you think it wise to give him up, I will. "I will not go on living with my husband. I dread having another child with him, and making one more unhappy. He is beginning to surmise. If I should get a divorce I would not marry this other man until he is twenty-three.

"Katherine B." * * * * Yes, it is easy to read between the lines—to read the indictment against early marriage. Katherine's young heart cries out for the real love it has never known—perhaps does not know even now. With all her unhappiness, she has been just. But there is one little flaw in her reasoning — "each person owes themselves happiness." No, happiness is not a right; happiness is a result. If we set out to find it, we will surely miss it. It comes to us only if we set loyalty and unselfishness before an unloved husband, for surely six years is a fair trial; and she has been true all that time. Beyond these few facts I can only tell her that the one infallible guide in perplexity is the welfare of that innocent and dependent little child. She may free herself of this husband; but let 30 her beware of whom she takes for a second. Have you a problem you cannot take to your family or your friends?

Sears-Roebuck Raising Huge Charity Fund Employes ‘and Company Will Give Million For Charity The national office of Sears-Roe- buck & Company has developed a unique plan for the relief of the suffering which will evidently be caused by the unemployment crisis during the coming winter. It was anounced this week by heads of the local organization. The company will cooperate with its employees in raising a fund to help the unemployed. A request has been sent to all employees, asking those who can afford to do so, to contribute one day's pay for the next four months to a general fund. For each dollar contributed by the employes the company will contribute a dollar. Used At Home The management has assured its employes that the money raised by each branch of the company will be used in the cities where it is subscribed. It also will be supple- mented by a pro-rated fund dis- tributed by the parent organization in Chicago. Under the conditions of the plan more than a million dollars will be raised for relief purposes. If each employe will voluntarily contribute one day's pay in each four-week period it will approximate more than a half million dollars, which, with the company’s contribution to equal it, will make a total of ap- proximately a million dollars to be given to unemployment relief.

Holdup of Cab Driver INDIANAPOLIS. — It’s not often a man gets held up twice in the same night by the same bandit, So S. R. Walden, white cab driver of this city, can at least point with pride to this phase of hi Sunday night experiences. Walden wa® Griving a Negro passenger when the latter suddenly pressed a revolver against his baci. The driver grappled with him, how ever, and they wrestled and fought for several minutes, the bandit finally breaking away and fleeing on foot. Walden went to a neighboring phone and called his office, but while he was standing there some- body got in his cab. “Come on, let's go!” said the Passenger, “I'm in a hurry to get away!” The driver drove rapidiy away but glancing into the rear vision mirror, he saw the reflection of the man with whom he had so re- cently fought. The recognition was mutual. “Say” said the colored man “You're the same guy that mussed me up a while ago, ain't you?” And again he pressed a revolver against Walden's back. This tim he obtained $4.65. Minister to Haiti Goes From U. S. to New Post WASHINGTON, D. C.

As for Fordham—keep her away from the other teams named unless you want to ruin her record. Utah and Western Maryland are the strongest of the remaining undefeated teams.

C. — A husky Eagle eleven from North Carolina State university, Durham, was defeated Saturday by the rejuvenated Bisons of Howard university at the Howard stadium, 6-2. Howard's touchdown, by "Red Bank" Taylor, through right tackle on a 5-yard plunge, followed a 4-yard gain by Marshall through the same territory. A 16-yard pass, Marshall to Lee, had advanced the ball from the Bison's 25-yard line to the point from which the threat was executed. A forward pass for the extra point failed. The Eagles scored a safety when Stroud kicked into Bison territory, Marshall touching the ball before it went into the end zone, recovering it immediately thereafter, but being thrown for the 2 points after an ineffective dash across the width of the field. Most of the passes attempted by both teams were smeared. With the exception of Larry, who showed flashes of heady football when he came in for Taylor, the Bisons failed to play up to previous standards. Howard Pos. State Mack.....L.

A BODY BUILDER Most of the ills and primary causes of disease are due to faulty elimination. No disease can be cured unless the bowels move regularly. If the bowels do not move properly toxic poisons accumulate through the bowels into the blood. Therefore it is important in treating chronic or lingering disease that the bowels move regularly. DR. MICHAEL'S ALL-HERB TONIC acts as a mild soothing TONIC laxative. It thoroughly cleans every fold, tube and gland, of the entire alimentary canal, it flushes out, cleans and strengthens the kidneys, carefully removes the superfluous bile from the liver. Therefore it is very essential to rid the body toxins which eliminate through the pores of the body, the urine and bowels, then nature's machinery is ready to do her work in a natural way, putting forth rich, red, healthy blood flowing throughout the entire system, and health is restored. DR. MICHAEL'S ALL-HERB TONIC imparts making and building qualities to the blood. ASK YOUR DRUGGIST With Local Grid Teams With Local Grid Teams AVONDALES, 6; ROOSEVELT, 0 The speedy backfield of the Avondale boys was able to slip over a touchdown in the first few minutes of play in the first quarter of their game with Roosevelt Wednesday night, but from then on it was nip-and-tuck, with no scoring for either team. Both teams played good offensive football, but the defense was stronger and so nobody scored after the A's lone tally. Wednesday night's game, played on Gleason Field, marks the first time in local football history that an all-Negro contest has been played on an illuminated field. Brilliant runs by Exum paved the way for the Avondale boys to win. Bruce Mackey, fullback, carried the ball over for the touchdown, from the five-yard line. Although ther was no more scoring, Avondale threatened in the second when Gibson, halfback, carried the ball to Roosevelt's one-yard line, and then fumbled. Courtney and Cooke, Roosevelt halfbacks, threatened for Roosevelt, but they were not able to get any closer to Avondales' goal than the ten-yard line. Lineup. Avondale Pos. Roosevelt Pearson L. E.

Galloway EAST PULASKI BEATEN, 14-0 Coach Lane and his boys from the east side school journeyed down to Terre Haute last Saturday to engage the school there in a game of football, and came back on the small end of a 14-0 score. More than fifty players and students made the trip. The boys from East Pulaski were handicapped in the game because of the absence of Lieutenant Perry, star halfback and kicker. He was ill with influenza and tonsilitis. Because of the fact the game developed into a kicking contest it is evident that the loss of Perry for the encounter was the deciding factor in the defeat of Coach Lane's charges. McCovey, end, was switched to the backfield to replace Perry, but not being as sure a kicker as Perry, his punts were not long enough to help in the scoring. All of his kicks were run-back into East Pulaski territory, keeping them on the defensive during the entire game. East Pulaski has no game scheduled for Saturday, but for November 22 they expect to play Roosevelt school. Arrangements for the game have not been completed as yet.

Wilberforce Coach Favored Frat Men Graves' Suspension Due to Unfair Tactics WILEERFORCE, Ohio. — Friction said to have grown out of fraternal favoritism displayed by Coach Harry Graves of Wilberforce came to a climax when President Gilbert Jones suspended the coach and appointed Edward Ritchie an assistant in his stead. The disagreements between the football mentor and the president has been of long standing and came to a crisis on the eve of the Tuskegee-Wilberforce game when the coach insisted on carrying a crew of 30 to Chicago while accommodations called for only 25. Graves was appointed in 1924 to succeed Harry Jefferson who resigned. During his regime he built a strong athletic organization, dropping but few games during the long career. Ritchie was a former basketball and football star and in company with Wu Fang Ward, was appointed this year. Last year Rap Wheatley, a star athlete from Baltimore nad a former member of the Morgan college championship basketball team, left Wilberforce in mid-season, declaring that he belonged to the wrong fraternity and could not "get a break on the team." The last serious clash between Wilberforce administrative officials and its athletes or coaches occurred several seasons ago when a Wilberforce basketball team, coached by Graves, played a game in Chicago after having been refused official permission to go to the Windy City and play the game. Members of the team were suspended by President Jones, but later were reinstated. An Advertisement in The American brings results.

It was pointed out that, if Bell's presence was objectionable to the Southerners, the game could have been cancelled. Failure to do so was construed as bowing to racial prejudice by a school which had everything to lose and nothing to gain by so doing. There are 241 American firms in business at Shanghai, China.

November 15.1930 Supporters of Parker Knifed By Negro Vote Fight Bitter in Ohio; Returns Show Split Ballots Cast NEW YORK. — Breaking party lines for the first time on a truly national scale, Negro voters in the election just past contributed srikingly to the defeat of two pro-Parker Senators, McCulloch of Ohio and Allen of Kansas, and made themselves felt as a political force that must be reckoned with. Although the results in Ohio and Kansas, where the pro-Parker senators went down to defeat, are most striking, the colored voters made close and bitterly contested campaigns in other states as well, notably Rhode Island and Delaware. Election figures sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by telegraph, special delivery and air mail, show the part that colored voters played in districts where they predominated. The bitterly contested and successful campaign led by the N. A. A. C. P. against McCulloch in Ohio resulted in an overwhelming vote against him in almost all the colored districts from which returns have been received. McCulloch Behind Election reports from the Ohio conference of N. A. A. C. P. branches, forwarded by the conference president, C. E. Dickinsin, show that in three districts in Middletown and eight districts in Marion, all mainly colored, McCulloch ran behind Bulkley, the democratic candidate in every case. In Youngstown the 3rd ward mainly colored, gave Bulkley 2510 a against 2255 for McCulloch, and results in other cities were as follows: Urbancrest (entirely Negro): Bulkley 112, McCulloch 84. Canton: preliminary report indicates 4300 votes to one against McCulloch. Cleveland: unofficial count shows in Wards 18 and 19, predominantly Negro, McCulloch had half or less than half as many votes as republican candidate for governor. Telegram to N. A. A. C. P. states: "No escaping fact that in Cuyahoga county Negro contributed substantially to McCulloch defeat for without their support Bulkley's majority would have been considerably less." Cuyahoga county gave Bulkley 107,000 of his 150,000 majority. Threaten Violence Threaten violence Illustrating the lengths to which the opponents of the N. A. A. C. P. campaign were ready to go in Ohio. Mr. Dickinson reports an attempt to break up the meeting at which Walter White, acting secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., spoke in Columbus on November 2, with hired ruffians brought in to schillfit violence. "Conditions were ripe for a real riot," he writes, "because those in the rear of the theatre where I was standing, knew what was going on and were ready while you on the platform did not." The planned disorder did not materialize when the hired persons "saw the sentiment of the meeting." Rhode Island and Kansas Rhode Island and Kansas In Providence, Rhode Island, where the N. A. A. C. P. was opposing the pro-Parker Senator Metcalf, reports state that not more than 50 per cent of the colored people voted a straight republican ticket, and of the other 50 per cent 20 are estimated to have voted democratic and 30 per cent to have scratched Metcalf. In Newport the opposition candidate, Gerry, had plurality increased 87 per cent by the Negro vote. In Kansas the N. A. A. C. P. opposed Senator Henry J. Allen who was defeated and endorsed Senator Arthur J. Capper, who was reelected, Allen having voted to seat Parker and Capper against his being seated. The Negro votes in Kansas undoubtedly helped the wheat farmers and labor defeat Allen and a telegram from the Kansas City Call to the N. A. A. C. P. states: "Undoubtedly Allen would have won had he had every Negro vote as in previous years." A flower of vivid blue, resembling a sweet pea, was grown from a seed 3,500 years old, which was taken from the tomb of an Egyptian Pharaoh by P. M. Harris, of London, Eng.

VOL. III. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 15. 1930. No. 52 The Disappearing Klan ONCE a mighty beast with the blood of nearly nine million fanatical Americans coursing through its veins, the Ku Klux Klan has now dwindled to a mere dwarf which can muster a strength of not quite thirty-five thousand. The history of the organization's growth and decline should amaze no one. In the aftermath of a catastrophe the size of the World War, the people were susceptible to strange and unusual influences. They craved excitement. It was the same state of mind which fostered the original Klan years ago after the Civil War period. "Smart" Caucasians, capitalizing on the prejudices of their fellowmen, saw a chance to turn these sentiments to their own profit. So the organization sprang up; gullible whites were given a title and a sheet for cash money, and its sponsors, inwardly laughing, grew fat and lazy from the millions pouring into the organization's coffers. Accordingly, their new business suffered and the Klan, founded on the disease of racial antagonism, has itself gradually sickened until death stares it in the face. As the Klan was founded on social abnormalities, so the present era of national depression has been the basis for two more organizations of its type and principles. The Caucasian Crusaders and the Black Shirts have sought to take its place. The failure of either organization to gain serious headway may be laid to various causes. The responsible South realizes that Negroes there are driven away and this will react against her economically; prospective members, duped by the Klan, are a little wary of all such propositions; finance could not permit many to join whose sympathies were with the movement. As for the Black Shirts, it had another disadvantage in that its color was against it. During the presidential campaign of 1928 the Klan made a last bid for national prominence. But it made then the mistake of being on both sides which meant that it clashed with itself in spirit if not in fact. Some Klansmen supported Al Smith in spite of his Catholic affiliations while still others gave their aid to Herbert Hoover. Heflin, Alabama's senator who lost out this election, was buried under an avalanche of votes even though he was backed by the once powerful Klan. No further proof of its weakness need be given. The Alabaman was its most consistent champion and wielded for many years a popularity in his own bailiwick which few men could equal. The nation may well bid goodbye to the Ku Klux Klan, for what public opinion has not done to put an end to its existence has been accomplished by itself. Oklahoma Gets One UNCLE TOM-TOM Heflin, Alabama senator defeated for re-election, has long received the pity of the nation for his mortal terror of the Roman Pope, his childish and senseless hate of the Negro, and his grudge against all Jews. Now Oklahoma makes a contribution to the vast intellectual emptiness in high offices by making "Alfalfa Bill" Murray the duly authorized resident of her gubernatorial mansion. One of the new governor's first acts was to appoint a Negro to the position of "coon of this here administration." It therefore begins of look as if the Sooner state will uphold its tradition of bone instead of brain in the heads of its executives. The era of imbecility and race prejudice in responsible positions is gradually passing. Senators and high officials who spend their time hating other races are gradually being laughed into oblivion. For the most part they are harmless except to the mental reputations of themselves and their constituency. Oklahoma's governor has done nothing more than get himself catalogued as an intellectual freak and his state a vast home for Little Minds. Again the Mexicans EDWARD BUSH, Lieutenant-Governor of Indiana, made a statement a few days ago in speaking of unemployment relief throughout the state which should be given serious consideration by officials. During a conference at Indianapolis, Mr. Bush declared that money for unemployment relief could be put to no better advantage than in giving the Mexican residents of Indiana a one-way ticket to Mexico. In Lake county alone, there are at least 30,000 natives of our neighbor to the south. This newspaper some months ago pointed out their malevolent influence on prevailing labor conditions in this country. Three weeks ago a report submitted to President Hoover by a special commission stated, among other things, that the competition of Mexican labor was one of the most powerful obstacles to Negro progress in the North. A survey of the labor situation here would reveal little or no unemployment among the Mexicans living in Lake county. It would show special agencies preparing to and taking care of the non-workers of both races. It would show businesses suffering because U. S. born workers could not make purchases, while Mexicans sent their earnings home in a steady stream or else hoarded them to return to the land of their nativity at some future date. Among the 30,000 or more Mexicans in Lake county, men outnumber women to an overwhelming extent. We believe the total amount of unemployment within the county is not in excess of the number of Mexicans now working on jobs. It is to be hoped that state and county authorities will seek to in some manner call a halt to the exploitation of Mexican labor and remedy the situation, for it breeds hardships for all. London versus Ethiopia DAILY newspapers of the land made much of the coronation of the Negus Ras Taffari as Emperor of Ethiopia. There were few daily papers that did not attempt to play up and make light of those features which were distinctly Abyssinian. The feast of raw meat, the live lions, the pomp and display—all of these provided mental fodder for the members of our western civilization. And now, before the great nations of the world can forget the coronation, comes the news that angry elephants injured Londoners during the parade which was part of the ceremonies of swearing in a new lord mayor of the English metropolis. It looks as if the African kingdom carries off the honors. None of her subjects was injured in the rites of crowning a new ruler. Her display of splendor was reserved for a national event. It was in the hands of capable officials who indulged in no yahooism. The stampeding of the elephants was caused by the presence of a life effigy of a lion carried by students. The trumpeting beasts, seeing their natural enemy in the vicinity, merely followed the dictates of their natures. The whole incident was a display of gross unintelligence on behalf of English officials. When London swears in her next lord mayor, it would be a good idea to send a delegation to Ethiopia and find out how such events are staged. Either that, or she should stick to Western ballyhoo which is, after all, the most blatant. The impartial observer will have little to choose between England with her elephants and Ethiopia with her lions and raw meat. He cannot laugh at one without guffawing at the other. Other Papers Say THE PROBLEM OF NEGRO HISTORY (Inter-State Tatler) From time to time our educators discuss the question whether Negro history should be taught in the public schools. It certainly ought to be taught in the schools, for the simple reason that colored children should learn something about what their race has contributed to the development of the country. And white youngsters too would go out in the world better informed if they were taught how Crispus Attucks as well as Paul Revere served the cause of American liberty. As a practical proposition, however, the teaching of Negro history in the public schools is not feasible except in places where there are separate schools. In the North where the children of both races attend the same schools, boards of education would be unwilling to alter the curricula of the classes to make room for it. They might be willing to separate colored and white pupils, giving the former a curriculum which would include the history of their race. But properly enough, we would oppose that. Segregation would be a high price to pay for a knowledge of our past. Between contact with the living and knowledge of great men who are dead the former may be preferred. Fortunateyl there is a way in which youth could be taught the history of the race. The church could do it. At comparatively little expense each church could maintain a school of Negro history, somewhat similar in function to the Rabbinical schools of the Jewish faith, in which courses could be given after public school hours. A class of an hour, or if the number of pupils were exceptionally large, half an hour a day would be sufficient to give our youth a working knowledge of the background and achievements of the race. It would result in a commendable stiffening of race morale in a few years, and for the present it would tend to reduce juvenile delinquency by giving thousands of children less time in which to roam the streets and raid fruit stands.

MARSHALL DAVIS The Health Question The Health Question Dr. Dennis A. Bethea (Health Editor, The Gary American) DIRT I heard about that "peck" opposed to eat during our most of us have already Therefore from now on better busy ourselves with "cleanliness is akin to YOUR PECK OF DIRT From time immemorial we have heard about that "dirt" that each one of ous was supposed to eat during a time. It is safe to saw that most of us have been that peck and then some. Therefore from now till the last curtain falls, we had better busy ourselves with problems of strict sanitation. John Wesley used to say that "cleanliness is all alliness." He might have gone a step further and not it was akin to healthfulness. Of course some of them to be able to wallow in dirt and eat it by the peck be healthy, just the same as some folk can chew on their neighbor and still be a good church member. In the earlier years people did not put a great deal of stress on clean food, but the Pure Food and Drug Act 1966, brought a great awakening along this line. Dead and stuffs today will not sell you impure products and merely did, for there are certain definite laws concerning handling of eatables. Your grocer may sell your steaks and there is nothing that you can do about it if he sells you "smelly" meat or old age butter, you handle him. Then there are strict regulations concerning food covered and handling it with care. But what advantage is there in forcing the grocer to strict sanitation, while we are covered up with dirt in kitchen?

For the youngster the mouth seems to be a catch basin for ing. From time immemorial we have heard about that "peck of dirt" that each one of ous was supposed to eat during our life time. It is safe to saw that most of us have already eaten that peck and then some. Therefore from now on until the last curtain falls, we had better busy ourselves with the problems of strict sanitation. John Wesley used to say that "cleanliness is akin to Godliness." He might have gone a step further and said that it was akin to healthfulness. Of course some people seem to be able to wallow in dirt and eat it by the peck and still be healthy, just the same as some folk can cheat and lie on their neighbor and still be a good church member. In the earlier years people did not put a great deal of stress on clean food, but the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, brought a great awakening along this line. Dealers in foodstuffs today will not sell you impure products as they formerly did, for there are certain definite laws concerning the handling of eatables. Your grocer may sell you "shoe sole steaks and there is nothing that you can do about it, but if he sells you "smelly" meat or old age butter, you can handle him. Then there are strict regulations concerning keeping food covered and handling it with care. But what advantage is there in forcing the groceryman to strict sanitation, while we are covered up with dirt in our own kitchen? It is like dressing your youngster for the party only to have him go out and play in the mud before your guests arrive. The housewife cannot be too careful about keeping food covered from the dust as well as from the flies.

Right! Spend It. By Clifford C. Mitchell This week ahs been one of general celebration throughout the country and our group has taken active part in the Armistice and "American Education Week" programs. Prominent sororities and fraternities have sponsored "Negro Achievement Week." It is fitting at this time that we should not only reflect on our creditable educational achievements but also to stress the necessity of properly exercising the advantage that scholastic training has given our individuals. The amount of learning or the degrees possessed is not a fit gauge of a man's worth nor should it set a standard of an individual's prestige in the community. Rather, the individual's usefulness should be measured by the deeds wrought in comparison with the tools available with which to work. Therefore, the scholastic attainments are but tools to supplement the gifts of nature. To attain the heights of scholastic training and knowledge without using such to comparative advantage is as much an economic waste as it is to dwell in a mansion when a cottage is more fitting. By close observing it is possible to see social functions given by and for those with scholastic learning of a Greek scholar all bedecked in stylish and costly raiments, yet their very appearance has strained their already slender pocketbook. Each year our schools turn out thousands and thousands of graduates. Where do they go? In what social sphere are they absorbed? At a frolic or dansant we see them in droves. They must live and they do — but apparently not because of their scholastic advantages — but in spite of them. Those who realize that their schooling is but a polish on a rough surface are not content to rest on their educational laurels and they are shining examples of our successes throughout the country. Their education has afforded them a contact and by diligently applying practical methods of service they have increased their own field of usefulness through continuous studying and practical application. Every worthwhile achievement in the history of the world has been the result of surmounting all obstacles and improving a bad condition. We are all in accord on the pitieable condition of the Negro today. Yet, the very condition that we are in assures us that there is a wonderful field for improvement and that means opportunities. Those who recognize this truth and prepare themselves accordingly will be rewarded by earthly prosperity and happiness as well as the blessings of the heafter. In considering educational achievements it might be well to educate our masses of the fallacy of depending upon mass demands and mass protests, purely as such. It is all very high-sounding to talk of mass demands and mass protests but unless these mass demonstrations have a solid backing they are useless. In almost any community in America you can observe a few successful men and women who can accomplish more and wield a greater power than thousands are able to do en masse. Still, there is no great secret as to why this is. It is merely because they have standing in the community that only can be secured through individual ability, character, worth and practical possessions. Organized mass demonstrations are effective only when it is known that such are but the exhaust of a full and powerful boiler but when it is learned that the exhaust is merely so much hot air exuding from a bellows that has to be artificially worked then the results are nil. *** No comment on educational achievement would be complete without reference to that misnomer "equal opportunity." There is no such animal. We must be practical and face facts as they are. There is a double standard for "equal opportunity" in America and the quicker we educate ourselves to realize this and in our plans prepare for same, just that much quicker will we gain individual recognition. There is no profession, business, condition or calling in which a black man has an equal opportunity with others. He is handicapped at the start of the race and it is only by giving this handicap and then over-coming it is he able to enjoy what outwardly appears to be an "equal opportunity." Protesting against such a system is of no avail. The thing to do is to so train ourselves that we will win in spite of the handicap. When this truth becomes more universal and we gain through its application then we can really boast of an educational achievement. ON WHITE HOUSE BODY WASHINGTON, D. C. — Dr. Algernon B.

The People Say- Editor, Gary American: The time has come, when the Negro must battle against error in all forms, check the advance of the foes of justice and equality and banish the worthless leaders. We need MEN, not males. Men who think more of principle than they do of the dollar. I cannot see how men, who are supposed to be intelligent, can be so ignorant. Segregation is only hate and jealousy in its infancy and it is a drawback to advancement, a destroyer of love, an enemy to peace and a denial of the declaration, "all men are born free and equal." For some time the tender minds of our children, have been poisoned by the advocates of segregation and now the morals of our race women have been trampled under foot, by a worthless would-be leader.
