What 'Back to Africa' Means
Fellow-Men of the Negro Race, Greeting:
Having traveled for hundreds of years across the deserts and prairies of human prejudice, we have now arrived at the crossroads of racial destiny. Each and every race today seems to be traveling in its own direction. The great human family has divided itself and each unit feels that there is a peculiar goal to be reached. Hence we hear the cry of "Japan for the Japanese!" "China for the Chinese!" "India for the Indians!" "Europe for the Europeans!" And now the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world are shouting in tones stentorian "Africa for the Africans!"
Not only has humanity divided, but it has become more suspicious. No one group will believe the professed intentions of the other, in that selfishness of purpose has so surrounded us that it is apparent that truth, love, honesty, charity have taken their flight to another world. Because of the absence of these virtues man is not disposed to pass his destiny over to his brother, but seeks to find his own. Just at this time, therefore it becomes opportune for the Negro, amidst all the environments of aggression and heated preparedness on the part of others, to strike out along his own lines and build for himself an independence, a power through which he can live secure.
It does not mean that all Negroes must leave America and the West Indies and go to Africa to build up a government. It did not take all the white people of Europe to come over to America to lay the foundation of the great republic; therefore, those who write disparagingly of the grand program of Africa for the Africans are doing so without paying any attention to history.
I desire each and every one to realize that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not teaching Negroes to discard or to throw away opportunities that may be beneficial to them; to the contrary, we say to all Negroes in America, the West Indies and elsewhere, seize all opportunities that come to you, but remember our success educationally, industrially and politically is based upon the protection of a nation founded by ourselves. And that nation can be nowhere else but in Africa.
Some people seem to think that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is too big, too elaborate. But what of the program of other races and nations? Are they big, are they elaborate? What about the program of Ireland, what about the program of Egypt, what about the program of India? Are they elaborate? What do they seek? They seek freedom, complete independence for the people who make up these countries, and so we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association seek a program that will bring about freedom for the four hundred million Negroes of the world.
For the consummation of this program it is our bounden duty to work unceasingly night and day with might and main. We must do this, or brand ourselves as pigmies occupying a place that is our due on the fringe of the civilization of others!

Garvey Has Disciplined the Masses and Given Them an Incentive to Achieve—For This Reason He Is Revered More Than Any Other Negro That Ever Lived—He Taught the Negro to Find Himself—His Name and Work Will Live Down the Ages

SCOTT'S EMULSION
This food-tonic, rich in health-giving cod-liver oil, is one of the most valuable factors known to medicinal science to help keep young or old in vigorous strength. Take Scott's Emulsion regularly!
Brant & Down, Humboldt, N. Y.
By G. EMONEI CARTER
By G. EMONEI: CARTEN
Secretary-General of the U.N. I. A.
A concrete value of the movement of a people rests in training the masses to look beyond the appearances of limitation, and behold the reality and presence of the things talked and dreamed of. It is not an easy task to so enlighten and discipline the masses; yet it has been done in a very large measure. Many are able to visualise the possibilities and probabilities of a once solely dependent race, to even help itself to lift itself. Before we came, every single effort to advance along any line came from without the race. We taught the masses to turn their eyes within, and to know that all lasting and truly beneficial strength came through the development of internal power and resources. For it is here we and strength to do and dare, strength to battle the greatest odds, and to stop only when victory is achieved.
The Leavening Group
It is true many of our members have not as yet been able to see our goal or look beyond the appearance of things. But it must also be said to the credit of those in every division and chapter organized throughout the world that the "leaving group" is there to permeate the masses, and when the time is fully ripe the leaving process will be evidenced in the frultition of our dream.
The Redemption of Africa must come, because God has promised, and He cannot fall. Governments and nations know this, as well as they know that all effective reformation or world-changing movements begin with the individual who visualizes the whole, and when inspired fills the minds of his followers with his vision. They knew that our founder and leader was right and inspired to write and speak as he did to the many millions. They thought that if he could be silenced the cayes would wane and generations would pass are another would cry loud and long in the same strain Garvey cried and is crying even now. .....
The lessons of African Redemption must be taught and the inner circle trained for the past seven years in the school of the masses by the inspired founder of this movement, must pour out its message for the salvation of a race.
The First Principle
The first principle emphasized in this real education was "Finding Ourself." This was very difficult, because slavery had taught us to rely upon everybody else but ourselves. We had even been taught to depend upon some one else for our daily food. We did not believe we could do anything, however insignificant, without consulting some one of the other group. Our training all pointed to the "Race Inferiority Complex." Our text books all placed our group at the bottom, and things black were to be desplaced, and looked upon as ugly. Garvey came and preached that beauty was measured by standards. That our group had as much right to set up its own standard as that set up by other groups. He gave us the consciousness of looking to and accepting this standard. Measuring by this standard, for the first time in the life of our group, many of us realized that we were a handsome folk, in spite of our inability to qualify after the order of the white man's standard.
Reflecting On the Group
Reflecting On the Group Again, we found ourselves by demonstrating our abilities to subsidize our local colorings, due to the places in which we were born, to the extent of our realizing that when an attack was made upon our group it was made in the collective sense. The best and most learned among us was measured

by the worst and most illiterate among us. As black men our interests were common, our battles the conquests of all black men, and our problems affecting the whole group. We found ourselves in our ability to demonstrate confidence and trustworthiness in one-man leadership. This was a most wonderful task. For, we have had many leaders of all shades and types, coming at all times and under many gulses, still none ever claimed the place and held it as did our present founder and leader.
Faith In Garvey
The people believe in Garvey. They may honor and respect some of his associates, but not one of them enjoys the confidences of the whole masses as he does. This is true because he gave Birth to the idea of seeing things black through the eyes of the black men, as well as in his willingness to undertake big things affecting world problems and in its special relation to the Negro and Africa.
He fixed himself in the mind of the people because he, was the first leader to speak in such language as to cause governments and nations to quote him and comment on his sayings in their councils. He has gained the confidence of so many because when persecutions came he endured and never recanted, even when it would have been to his own personal advantage and seemingly for the advancement of our cause. He was just different from the others; and because he was different their faith and confidence in him and his program was enhanced.
We found ourselves in endearors to enter the large business world. Without experience or even the proper encouragement from the right and helpful sources, we pushed forward and demonstrated, beyond a reasonable doubt, the ability of the masses to pile up in a short space of time large sums of money for any cause which Garsey brought into being. No man today can raise money as he raised money from all the folks, at any time it was needed. They gave because they believed he knew the wisdom of the asking and their wisdom in the giving. We found ourselves in letting the other group know and realize that the communities in which he lived stood for racial enterprise and co-operation and appreciated most those firms, which utilized help from our group, when the patronage was almost wholly from our group.
Finding Ourselves
We found ourselves through our abilities to build not in any one single instance for the present, but always for the future, knowing that the unborn generations would rise up and call us blessed or cursed, in the light of the monuments we left behind. If these structures beat the evidences of racial solidarity and co-operation, they will bespeak our finding ourselves. If they are weak and show only the divided interests of a more divided group, we will still be in the position of learning to find ourselves.
When 400,000,000 Negroes or black men will have learned fully the lessons of finding themselves, the world will know and realize that Garvey was right when he began to teach black men of the twentieth century, like Socrates did the Greeks before Christ — "know Thyself." For in knowing ourselves we find ourselves, and in finding ourselves we move the world in the direction we wish to go by our thought force and power.
U. S. Has 157 Publications Printed in Italian
one hundred and fifty-seven daily and periodical publications in the Italian language flourish in the United States, out of 280 in the world outside of Italy, according to statistics published by the Italian Department of Emigration.
In the United States there are nine Italian newspapers, of which three in New York city have a total circulation of 240,000. Italian dailies are published in Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston and Providence, says the Detroit News.
In South America there are sixteen Italian daily newspapers, some of which have circulations as high as 20,000. The oldest Italian newspaper, outside of Italy is Messaggio Egiziano, of Alexandria, now nearing fifty years old. Tune has an Italian daily and various Italian periodicals.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1998
Those Who Called Africa the "Dark Continent" Themselves Change the Name—It Is Treasure House of All the World Stands in Need Of American production of metals has a new rival in South Africa, from which has just been announced the discovery of a platinum field, the richness of which is such, it is said, that the precious metal is likely to be produced in quantities bringing its price to a level lower than gold, which it outsells, and outweighs.
Platinum is usually found like plaster gold, in alluvial gravels, from which it is taken by a process of washing. But it is quite commonly associated with osmium and iridium, from which metals it is not easy to separate it. Besides its use for jewelry, platinum possesses valuable properties as a catalyst in chemical processes. It melts at a very high temperature and is not attacked by many chemicals, so that it is used for laboratory dishes and wires. Until the discovery of platinite and tungsten it was commonly employed when necessary to send a wire into glass with which it has an identical coefficient of expansion, and for contact points in electrical apparatus.
The South African discovery of platinum, if it eventuates as forecast, will bring that country to the front as a producer of wealth in concentrated form. The diamond fields of Kimberley have been making history since the early seventies, and today the city founded upon the gems is a modern metropolis of splendid villas, paved streets and every modern convenience.
The Rand and its production of almost one-half the world's gold output has long been the source of a steady supply of the precious metal. Probably to it more than to any one other economic influence, has been due the construction of railroads, harbors and other public works, and the development of coal mining, which now exports considerable tonnage to India and other points.
The Rand, or to give its full name Witwatergard, or white water ridge, is a great undulatin plain, lying a mile or more above sea level. The Boerchristened it on account of the many streams of clear water issuing from the north side of the range and flowing down to the Indian Ocean into Delonga Bay. Like all goldbearing districts, the Rand is of ancient geological formation. The ores are complex, and require to be crushed, amalgamated and cyanided like our own Colorado ore.
No Terrible Heat
We in North America think of Africa as a tropical land of terrible heat, volcanoes and jungles. But the Rand rock is anything but hot. Instead of a degree for every 65 feet of depth, its shafts encounter only abut one denounce to every 225 feet and some of its mines are among the deepest in the world. The industrial significance of South Africa appears in its total gold production of more than four billion dollars, its billion dollars worth of diamonds, its coal, tin and cotton, while the dry plateau of Southwest Africa with hundreds of square miles, is one of the finest cattle countries imaginable.
Besides it has gold output and catter Rhodeia exports orange; copper and asbestos. The potential economic power of a land which couples to such rich natural advantages the further advantage of unlimited coal and the enormous water power of the Zambest with Victoria Falls, and many other big rivers, is insestable. Victoria Falls alone are a mile wide and $50 foot high, with several times the possible power capacity of Ningara and Muscle Shoals together.
Northern Rhodesia produces lead in addition to its start in cattle raising and general farming and fruit culture. Basutoland, with a climate well suited for white residence, sends out wheat, rye, barley, oats, wool, and some iron and coal. Bechuanaland, undeveloped, nevertheless counts her cattle by the hundred thousand and is beginning to produce gold. Swaziland is only a small district, but it is known for its corn, tobacco, sweet potatoes and fat cattle. And so the story goes.
Africa is an economic storehouse of undeveloped, and hardly known, resources. British West Africa, for example, contains Nigeria with 600 miles stretching back from the Gulf of

Guinea between Dahomay and Kamerun. This is the old slave country, out of which ivory and ostrich feathers used to come by caravan. It has tin lead and iron industries already developed to be very valuable, besides palm oil, nuts, tobacco and other tropical products. Slavery was abolished in 1917.
British Exploitation
The British are not backward in developing their new empire. They predict confidently, that East Africa alone can, and will, supply their mills with all the cotton they can use, and make them independent of American planters. In the vast Kenya territory, which has a climate like that of Southern California, every industry that thrives in California seems to be feasible, together with the rubber industry, for which certain sections are said to be well adapted.
Imagine a country of vast rolling plains, dotted with lakes, watered by big rivers, of such uniform, climate that it will yield two crops a year of everything from grain to fruit, and think what such a land five times the size of Pennsylvania might produce under systematic cultivation. It is big enough and rich enough to feed the United Kingdom.
The Klonga Trifangle in East Africa is seven or eight times the size of Pennsylvania, and combines forests with great areas of tillable land. It covers the crater region lying inside of Lakes Nyanza, and Nyanza and Tanganyika. This is the part of Africa split by the biggest crack on the surface of the earth, which makes our Grand Canyon Lilliputian by comparison. And it is along this huge crack, running down from the eastern end of the Mediterranean, where the latest mineral discoveries have been made and are being exploited.
This is a territory of precipitous escarpments, down which big streams tumble in such force that they offer unusual opportunities for power development, at low cost. And its mineral deposits appear to be of an extent and richness that make their development imminent.
American hydro-electric engineers have been at work for a couple of years on some of these projects, surveying and estimating for English companies who have mineral locations and propose to use electric power for their operations. They bring home wonderful stories of the great copper deposits accessible, to tidewater, veritable mountains of ore. Unless they are very badly mistaken—and these young

men are not the sort to be easily hood-winked—there are so many copper deposits that development is actually retarded by indication as to which should be most profitable to undertake. In some cases surveys are started for construction of preliminary facilities for handling one deposit, and after they are under way prospectors locate another so much better that plans are summarily changed.
Africa may be largely unexplored and unoccupied, but it is no longer the Dark Continent. It is beginning to come up as a vast agricultural resource, and to loom as a producer of industrial, as well as precious metals. While aluminum is eating into the electrical field, copper is one of the world's industrial standby. And Africa, with a wealth of copper and electric power, resources perhaps greater than any other continent, is likely to figure largely in copper production in the future.
Striving to Regulate
Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 18. (A. P.)—Five rules to eliminate objectionable features of the Charleston, barred by dance hall managers here, have been formulated by dancing instructors of the city, as follows:
1. Charleston dancers must not swing their feet more than two feet from the floor—eliminating danger of a fall.
2. Dancers must not kick more than one foot either side, thus protecting the shins of other dancers.
3. The addicts must not move their bodies above the waist—imiting the dangerous vibrations that infuriil shaky walls.
8. The "stage" Charleston with its dangerously swinging feet and hands, shall be absolutely barred.

Livingstone's Successor Still Works in Africa
When on October 12, 1875, the little steamer Ilala sailed out of the Shire River on to the waters of Lake Nyasa with Dr. Robert Laws on board, the door into Central Africa finally opened. Today, fifty years later, the indomitable, hazel eyed Scoteman who is in the direct Livingstone succession and is known throughout the world as Laws of Livingtonia, is still at his work in the heart of Africa, says the Detroit News.
A great discipline of a great leader, Laws, more than any one, has made Livingstone's dreams come true. The slave routes across Nyasa, over which passed 10,000 souls a year, were doomed when the Ilala began to call on the lake, and he has transformed the country where he has passed his life. Livingstonia today, on its plains in the healthy air nearly 3,000 feet above the lake, is a microcosm of the new Africa. No longer do hunted folk, their lives never secure from the slave raiders, haunt caves in the side of the rocky hills. Up from the lake which the Ilala explored, proving it to be 100 miles longer than Livingstone estimated, winds a road, surveyed and engineered under the doctor's own supervision.
Success is, worthy achievement. It is accomplishment of a definite purpose.

LET'S PUT IT OVER
UNIFORM MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE LAWS
ONE of the crying scandals of American life is the diversity of its marriage and divorce laws. Nearly every State of the forty-eight has a system of its own, and a marriage of divorce in one State need not be and is not always valid in another State. This makes for endless confusion and much hardship. The principle involved is the Christian house, the destruction of which, it is generally conceded, would menace the life of the nation. The looseness of the marriage laws and the laxity of the divorce laws has led to a most dangerous condition, which alums thoughtful people. There cannot be any successful Christian government without the supremacy of the Christian home. Decadent Russia and immoral France are showing this to be true at this time.
Senator Caraway of Arkansas has introduced a bill in the Senate prohibiting the marriage of white and "colored" persons in the District of Columbia, and Senator Capper of Kansas has a bill pending to bring about uniform marriage and divorce in all of the States. A law such as Senator Capper has introduced in the Senate, the passage of which is being urged by influential civic organizations, is needed to protect the Christian home and safeguard the government. The bill by Senator Caraway is an immoral one, and would work for the destruction of the home life of those concerned, and place the Negro women victims of lustful white men and any offspring they might have outside the protection of the law, and without curbing in the least so much of immoral commerce among the races as has existed from the introduction of slavery, and will continue to exist as long as the two races, or the many race groups that make up the total population, occupy the same environment and have the same contact. The intermarriage of the races may be regarded as very bad, but to legalize prostitution and bastardy, as Senator Caraway's bill would do, would be infinitely worse. Neither the women nor their children by white men would have any protection in law under the Caraway act, and that would be brutally inhuman and demoralizing.
The scandal of the intermarriage of the races has been recently brought to the attention of the country by the Kip Rhinelander and Alice Jones case; the one being of a rich white family while the other was the daughter of a "colored" man and an English white woman. The man claimed that the woman deceived him as to her race and color, but he failed to prove his case and is still the white husband of his "colored" wife. The other case was that of Irving Berlin, a famous Jewish song writer, and Ellin Mackay, the Irish-Catholic daughter of Clarence Mackay, president and part owner of the Postal Telegraph system. The marriage of the Jew and the Irish-Catholic woman was not sanctioned by her father, and has provoked much discussion in the newspapers, many regarding such unions as ill-advised.
A uniform marriage and divorce law is needed, but if it should raise the race and color question, with intent to control and regulate it by law, it would raise more trouble in the race groups of the 110,000,000 people of the nation than can be conceived by the average person.
KNOW WHAT YOU WANT. THEN GO AHEAD
GREAT many people move through the devious ways of life without any definite purpose. They drift with the tide, taking life as they find it. They are not thinkers. They do not make provision for tomorrow. They take it for granted that in some way they will manage to make ends meet. These people make up a very large percentage of every race group and of every national group. They are usually good workers. They do the rough work of society, but they do not provide the work; others have to do that for them. They spend as they go and have no disposition to save anything for a rainy day or as capital to provide some independent business of their own. Others have to save for them and invest the savings in enterprises that give employment to them. How large a percentage of every community these sort of people are it is easy for any reader of The Negro World to ascertain for himself by studying the disposition of his neighbors.
President-General Marcus Garvey touched upon this phase of human character, but indirectly, in his front page article in The Negro World of last week. His philosophy about it is comprehended in race organization and race idealism. He says:
rounded as he is, has no other alternative than going forward in the atmosphere of racial self-interest, working for the generation of the present and providing for those of our posterity. In the service of race the Universal Negro Improvement Association finds its program, and for its advocacy or promotion we offer no apology.

That is to say, the Negro should create and develop his own ideals. How difficult this is to be done by a minority race in contact with a majority race has been demonstrated time and gain. Just now many Jews are accused of unorthodoxy because they show a disposition to adopt the ways of Christians among whom they live, but the great majority of Jews in the United States and Europe do not look with favor upon those who break away from the faith of their fathers. But the tendency to do so among the Jews will continue; as it is human to strive to please those who have the larger number in a given situation and who are the arbiter in things that make for social and economic advantage. The philosophy is good, however, that it is best for a race group so situated to create and develop its own idealisms, and these should always be an improvement upon the idealisms of the stronger race group.
The question of organization is a major one with the Negro. He has less of it everywhere than others and he profits less, therefore than others in the large benefits which come out of intelligent organization and co-operation. The white races have reduced the principles of organization and co-operation to an exact science, and it is reflected in their social, civil and economic power. They conquer not only by the sword but by the magic of money values. By the co-ordination of the two things they are just now dominating the world. If the principles are apparently breaking down in Europe, as the aftermath of the World War, it is due to the fact that the people have turned from double-crossing others and have begun to double-cross themselves. They are doing that now in Europe in their lust after the lands and labor of the darker races. It is a question of gamblers falling out over the share of the loot each of them shall have.
The Negro people are being aroused to the necessity of organization and co-operation to get the most out of their social, civil and economic values as others get it out of theirs. They have made wonderful strides in doing this during the life and inspiration of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the insistent preachment of Marecus Garvey, and this is being felt as a fact in the life of the Negro in the United States and Latin America, in the West Indies and in Africa. He has found out in part, he will find out wholly, what he wants and is entitled to, and he is going after it to possess it. That is as it should be.
EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS
Politically, the Negro is not even holding his own; he has been slipping backward for the past decade; and it is because he does not interest himself sufficiently to qualify and participate in matters political. He has no political program, and is never found a unite on any proposition. Yet he swears the Republicans have betrayed him and the Democrats would destroy him, and rests his case here—East Tennessee News.
While it is true, we have just cause to complain when we feel that we are not justly treated, yet when we soberly consider, the conditions we cannot blame others for bettering their circumstances at our expense, if we will not try to make the best use of the chances when they are presented to us.

There are more Negroes in the United States than there are Jews in the whole world, yet because the Jews have learned how to handle money, the Jews have more privileges all over the world than Negroes have in any one city in the United States.—Christian Recorder.
You cannot always determine the purpose of human conduct by circumstances, neither can you always judge the results from the purposes or circumstances.—Oklahoma Eagle.
As the new year downs, let us set for ourselves some goal that can be reached only by constructive activity. Let us make an honest attempt at worthwhile effort.

A very encouraging thing in our race is the number of our young people who really desire to do something worth while. Of course, there are the don't cares and the confirmed parasites.

One of the strongest arguments against segregation is that it always results in inferior accommodations for the weaker group. And it is indeed logical that inferior accommodations will result from segregation because the providing of two first-class places means an increased cost out of proportion to the amount of pathogenesis—Cleveland Call.
Crime is crime, whether committed by white or colored. But when we see in so many cases where the whites go free and the Negro invariably hold, then we can't but think there is something wrong with the administration of the law.

Habits—Good and Bad
By the BLACK CROSS NURSES OF
NEW YORK
Habits are easily formed, but are often very difficult to break. Whatever a child is in the habit of doing he is likely to continue to do when he becomes a man. Habits are formed, by doing the same thing over and over again until we do dt almost without thinking. They are most easily acquired when we are young. There are bodily habits which we should form when young. Often elderly people suffer in health, from habits formed through ignorance when they were children. These are some of the rules of good health which we should survive habitually to practice: Regular hours, regular meals, regular action, of the bowels. Cleanliness of the skin, teeth, hair and nails; of our clothing, our food and drink, and our surroundings.
Regular and systematic exercise and rest.
Eating and drinking to chew our food thoroughly, to eat only at meal times, to drink very little during meals, to keep windows open, night as well as day.
Bad habits to avoid--Smoking when yodging. Excessive use of tobacco when grown up. Drinking spiritous liquors as beverages. Overcauting, tight lacing, idleness. But, besides these bodily habits, we should strive to acquire the habit of doing what we know to be right and shunning what we know to be wrong. By so doing we shall lay the foundation of a good character, without which we lose what is best in life and become a source of danger to others. Our characters, good or bad, are built up day by day without our noticing it, just as our bodies change and grow from day to day. Our habits are the storms in this character building. To be of good, strong character it is necessary to acquire good habit. Above all, we must learn the habit of self-control; that it is the ruling of our bodies by the exercise of our wills. The lower animals do not possess this power. Many men do not perceive it, because they have learned themselves to keep away the effects of their desires and impulses.
A more vigorous self-control is easy to come to, and great joy is with it without a builder to lit the fire, batter all the plants and sustain them all through the year. That ends with the need to keep good self-control, and to have support throughout the year.
NEW DAM TO AID
SUDAN COTTON OUTPUT
Will Irrigate 300,000 Acres Effort to Make England Independent of American Cotton by African Product
Visions of a day when empires grown cotton will make British industry almighty. Independent of American sources of supply are conjured up here today by the formal opening of the gigantic million ton-Makwar damson the Blue Nile, which will, with irrigation 100,000 acre acres in the Nidan. The dam was opened by Lord Lloyd, High Commissioner for Egypt, in the presence of a throng of officials and visitors. Lord Lloyd, himself an engineer, is the builder of Makwar's dam on the Indus, one of the biggest water bighirts in the world.
The Makwar dam will, however, be capable of irrigating 300,000 acres and it is now generally understood that this is the ambitious objective of the sponsors of this vast undertaking and that a million bales annually is hopefully, regarded as the ultimate output of the region which it is prophesied will be the greatest for cotton growing of any country under the Union Jack.
Other big cotton growing projects under British sponsorship are being carried out in East and West Africa, Trak and Asia Minor. Major Ormsby Store, Under Secretary for the Colonies, has just left London on route to East Africa to study the problems of trade development. It is his contention that on transport facilities will depend the success of the ambitious cotton growing projects on African lands under the British flag.
It is estimated by experts here that the area available for cotton cultivation in Africa, including the Sudan, exceeds 10,000,000 acres. There is an acute political issue connected with the harnessing of the waters of the blue Nile by British engineers. The Egyptian nationalists have contended that it will divert the waters of the Nile, thereby working a serious disadvantage to Egyptian planters.
English engineers and some foreign ones as well have disputed the Egyptian contention. It was one of the four points along with the question of the status of the Sudan itself which was left over at the time the British Egypt protectionate was abolished. While seeing great material success following upon this vast scheme of irrigation, there are many Britons, nevertheless, who realize that the cultivation of the Geizing plain will only add to the far reaching importance of the problems of Sudan's political future.
Natives Now Appearing On Legislative Bodies In Br. West Africa
From The New York Sun
Nearly all of West Africa under British rule now has constitutional rights. Great Britain's policy toward the natives appears to be one of gradual assimilation, giving the Negroes a share in government, first as unofficial members of deliberative assemblies and then as full rededig legislators. Recently Sierra Leone and Southern Nigeria admitted to their Legislative Councils a proportion of elected African members. The Gold Coast is the latest colony to effect this change. Letters patent reorganizing the Legislative Council were read in the Chamber of Accra last month and the Council will be in function early this year.
The Governor will be president of the new body, which will be composed of fifteen official and fourteen unofficial members. Six of the latter will be Africans from the provinces, three Africans from the towns and five Europeans. Provincial councils are also established, elected by head chiefs, three for the eastern, two for the central and one for the western province. This will give the head chiefs an opportunity to discuss questions relating to the welfare of their respective provinces. The constitution also provides for the election by ballot of municipal councils with African majorities, a feature intended to encourage interest in municipal government among the natives. Of the European unofficial members of the Legislative Council one will be elected by the chambers of commerce, one by the mining interests and three members at large will be chosen on a general ticket.
This new constitution is a great step forward in instruction of the natives in the ways of civilization. Another favorable influence is the continued prosperity of the colony, largely due to cultivation of cocon, which was first exported in 1891 to the amount of 50 pounds. In 1941 shipments amounted to 900 tons; in 1913 to 5,554 tons. Even during the war the figures kept mounting, reaching 50,713 tons in 1918. The industry is entirely in the hands of natives, whose standards of comfort have been enormously raised.

If a heartbeat brains it would grow very and in an overweight body, for it could see the dangers ahead of it.
As I told you in a previous article, excess fat means larger area to be covered, more food, more poisonous waste to carry and a resulting hardening of overworked, arteries.
Suppose this sort of dangerous overwork and slow poisoning and slow stiffening of the blood vessels had gone on for some years and the fat person had reached the age of fifty.
Let us lineagine a pompous and ponderous man with a rather red face. Look closely at him, and you will see that he is always "high colored." He is invariably "ruddy" in complexion. Look again, and you will discover that the red is not very healthy in shape. It is tinged with a dullness that reminds one of red mixed with blue. The lips are somewhat blush.
We shall book inside the man. We see a heart which has tried to grow large enough to take care of this enormous bulk of a body. It is beating too rapidly trying to send more blood, as though that would do any good. It is putting all its force into these beats, so that the stream of blood can make the long, long journey through that huge body.
The blood vessels have worked so hard that they have become stiff and are no longer pliable, but somewhat brittle.
Let us go to the brain. Here is a tissue which must get its nourishment or stop working, and when the brain stops—death. There must be absolutely no extra pressure upon some of its sensitive nerve cells, or—paralysis or death.
Here are tiny arteries which must pass through this delicate tissue and nourish it without damaging it.
In this fat man what do we see here in the brain? Among others we see a thy artery running up beneath the temple. It is stiff. It can't yield to the stream of blood. So long as the blood does not come with terrible force it manages to stand the strain.
One day the strain is too much. The pressure of the blood is too great. That thy artery bursts apart. The blood keeps out into the brain. Those sensitive cells cannot endure the touch of the blood which socks them. It is as though they were drowned. They stop work. They no longer control the body. The man is paralyzed.
He has had a "stroke of Anoplexy."
A Race of Athletes Found in Africa
From the New York World LONDON, Jan. 7.—The American Olympic records are at the mercy of the athlete of a tribe of gigantic Negroes in Central Africa, ruled by a seven-foot king, according to William J. W. Room, F. R. G. S., secretary of the British Foreign Bible Society, back from an African trip of 75,000 miles, lasting ten years.
Room exhibits a photograph of a Rusda champion clearing a bar 6 inches high by at least a foot. The world's record is held by Harold M. Osborne of Illinois at 6 feet 8-16 inches.
Room saw King Muslinga himself who rules 2,080,000 persons, whose highest caste, called Watusi, are between six and seven feet tall. The high jump was ordered by the King while the Englishman took a photo. The King's profile is exact like that of Seti, the first mummy in the Cairo Museum, and Room says he believes that the ruling caste is descended from the ancient Egyptians who entered Central Africa through Abysinin.
In a forrest 1,000 miles long and 500 wide in the Northwest Congo and the French Charr Chad territory, Room found a tribe of pygmies, few of them more than 4 feet high. Mothers 3 feet 9 inches tall nursed tiny babies. The pygmies hunt with poisoned arrows.
One out of twelve persons in the United States dies of tuberculosis. This does not mean that you have one chance out of twelve to die of this disease because your chance depends on your parents, your surroundings, your previous condition of health, your present occupation and the manner in which you live, says Dr. Linny R. Williams, in "Hygela."
Many persons have said that tuberculosis was due to bad housing, insufficient food or overwork, but in all of these instances the original cause is the name—a lowered standard of living, which includes all of these factors and predisposes the person to develop the disease. In a family which is entirely dependent on its caring power and in which one or both parents are affected with tuberculosis, there is a marked lowering of the standard of living. The children of that family will be more liable to develop tuberculosis than the children of a family in which the income and intelligence of the family are sufficient to provide the necessary standard of living, and, not surprisingly, the presence of tuberculosis, to limit or minimize the amount of infection by the application of certain well known precautions.

Tropical Countries Mostly Agricultural—Raw Materials and Food Products—Special Preparation Needed
In an article in Economic Geography E. S. Gregg, chief of the transportation division in the Department of Commerce, expresses the opinion that industrialism will not be extended to tropical countries, because nature has made them largely agricultural. Their fertility is insustant, but sustained effect, such as is required in manufacturing, is impossible for any length of time. In the temperate zones men are mentally and physically active and can work at high pressure all the year round. Accordingly, this authority assumes that southbound cargoes from the United States will always be chiefly of manufactured products and "the northbound movement will be largely of raw materials and food products." Ninety-three percent of tropical exports to the United States consist of oil, sugar, bananas, molasses, iron and coffee. No pronounced industrial development is likely to occur even in sub-tropical Caribbean lands. Mr. Gregg says:
The first obvious fact about our trade with tropical America is that special types of ships are necessary. In general, the vessels in the trade between the Caribbean area and this country may be roughly divided into three classes: tramp ships, off ships, passenger ships and fruit ships.
Of these the trump ships "follow no regular litterary and keep no fixed schedules." They raise freely in the tropical waters of both hemispheres. The fruit ships are peculiarly American, maintaining touch with out neighbors to the south and carrying passengers, mail and exchangeable products. But the fruit ship is likely, for it must include refrigeration apparatus and have a higher speed than the tramp. Its rates for passengers and freight must necessarily be higher:
The rate on machinery from New York to La Guayra, Venezuela, 1147 miles, was at the end of 1924 $14.56 a long ton, as compared with $12 to Calgata, 934 miles; $12 to Ceylon, 8,602 miles; $12 to Bombay, 8,174 miles; $9 to Cape-Town, 6,156 miles; $19 to lille de Janiero, 4,770 miles, and $10 to Barcelona, 3,719 miles. . . . The explanation usually given for the higher rates in the Caribbean trade include reference to lack of competition, strong conference agreements, inadequate to harbors, poor harbor facilities, large expense for loading and un-loading cargo.
But the most important factor is "higher construction expense" of ships in the specialized Caribbean trade. It should not be forgotten that it costs our traders a good deal to get their goods ready for Caribbean markets, because precautions have to be taken to protect them from excessive moisture. "Claims for damage in transit are an economic waste," says Mr. Gregg. Only the most careful packing will prevent them. It becomes the duty of geographers in the Government service to supply exporters with information that will cut the expenses of their trading operations to a minimum. In conclusion, it is said by way of example:
If all the trade with the tropics were as well organized as the trade in bananas, apples, other tropical fruits, little complaint would be heard regarding difficulties and more satisfaction would be expressed over profits.
The Turks and Mosul
From The New Orleans item
"Mosul is Turkish and Turkey is prepared to fight for it . . . ; we don't care about the League of Nations or the Hague decision. They mean nothing in our lives. I would be a fit subject for the insane assylum if I even expected a just decision, from the Hague or the League of Nations."
All this, and some there, is attributed to Tewilk Rushall Rey, Turkey's foreign minister, in a public interview during a visit to Paris. Everybody knew the Turks feel that way. Their head diplomat's undilicament candor, however, is unusual in commonplace diplomacy. The Turks have always had some talent in that field. Their minister's Greec-and-casy terms with his powerful feiechhors, if not a magnificent bluff, indicates a powerful opinion on the Turkish side that the English and the others are exceedingly unwilling to engage in strong-arm work.
That might easily be the case, for a complication of many reasons, quite aside from any doubt of their ability to pound Turkey into pulp. The late war showed everybody that it is even harder than before to force exactly what a war over a regional issue will extend. It is likely that the major powers are more fearful of each other than of the Turks, regardless of the treaty bonds that bind them in fellow ship.
THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS
CHICAGO, ILL.
The week ending Sunday, January 17, found Chicago Division struggling usual for the advancement of Garveyism, and trying at all times to uphold the fundamental principles on which the organization is based. We realize that the most effective and assured method of promoting the ideals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is through the agency of firmly established divisions. Divisions so firmly established that they will not be swamped from the path of loyalty, to the cause either by the incarceration of our beloved president-general or by any peculiar circumstance which might develop within any department of our great organization. Laielys we have been having very applauded meetings. These meetings indicate our firm resolved to leave nothing undone to hasten the progress of the division.
In our meeting on Sunday, January 17, we were favored by a program颁授 by the Black Cross Nursesunior the direction of Mrs. Pannie Robinson, head nurse, and by the Motor Corps, under the direction of Miss Octavia Holloway, captain. The principal address was delivered by Dr. Mary Waring, nationally known welfare worker. Her address was mostly along the lines of civic welfare, and was very encouraging.
We are looking forward with great anxiety to the coming of Miss M. L. T. De Mea on February 16. Her visit will be in behalf of the Mareus Garvey Committee on Justice.
PUERTO CORTEZ, C. A.
This Puerto Correya Division of the U. N. L. A. has again made another deep impression on the minds of the people of Puerto Cortez. This time it is a Christmas dinner provided for the Negro children of Puerto Correza under the auspices of the U. N. L. A.
At l. p. m. on Christmas Day, the hand of the U. N. L. A. under the directorship of Mr. Albert Flowers, proceeded from Liberty Hall to Camp Rojo, a distance of about three-quarters of a mile, where a large number of children, attending Hurrells school, awaited its arrival. The proceeded then proceeded in the following order: The U. N. L. A. Land, Roy's Brimade, Girl Guides, Juvenile, Corps, school children and a large number of members of the race.
Mr. Thomas A. Ford, president of the division, and Mr. O. F. A. Harrison, commandant of the Daws' Brigade, who are responsible for the bringing about of this occasion, were busy during the whole week making preparations for the day. A special banquet committee was appointed, consisting of the following persons: Mrs. Stamp, Mrs. Coc, Mrs. Myers, Miss Jane Richardson, Miss G. Slusher, Mrs. Dent and Miss Brooks. These ladies, under the instruction of the president and the commandant, worked fathily and made the event a very successful one. As the procession wended its way from Campo Roje to Liberty Hall it was greeted by the inhabitants of the town, who lined the street verandas and shop windows to pay tribute to the rising tide of Negroism under the inspired leadership of the Hon. Marcus Carvey and the U. N. L. A.
Never in the history of the republic has the Negro attracted the attention of the community as at the present time. Tears of joy sounded to flow from the eyes of every queer as the band played the Ethiopian National Anthem. "What! Has the Negro a National Anthem?" the question that anglobally escapes the lips of the would-be oppressors of the race, and almost as by the power of electricity the answer flashes across the ears of the inquirer: "Yes, the new Negro under the leadership of Marcus Garvey is thinking in terms of government."
On the arrival of the procession at Liberty Hall the children were received with an address of welcome by the president. After a brief discussion of the significance of Christmas, he contrasted the life of the Redeemer of the world with that of our most revered and illustrious chief, Marcel Curvey, the Redeemer of the Negro race. In conclusion, he charged the children and parents to be steadfast under the new dispensation of Negro freedom and liberty and to be ever-mindful of the duty incumbent on each of us, to wield the redemption of our Fatherland, Africa, and an abiding faith in our inspired leader.
After the address, Hymn No. 116 from the Universal Negro Ritual was sung by the audience, the band accompanying, and a sumptuous dinner was served to the children. During the serving of the dinner the band

convenient the occasion with a few delightful selections. After the children had finished eating the tables were prepared to entertain the adults. When all had finished dining the following gentlemen addressed the audience: Mr. Irving Membhard, second vice-president; Mr. John Cadrington, and Mr. David Nibbett, first vice-president. The president then read out the names of the donors, to the banquet, some of them being distinguished members of the race. Chief among them were Mr. S. Hudson, Mr. A. Plke, Mr. M. McKenzie and Mrs. Miers and others. He also thanked the committee for the noble work which it had done to insure the success of the occasion.
The commandant of the Boys' Eglise then delivered the closing address, and at the conclusion he called on all present to bow their heads in a five-minute prayer and ask the Supreme Ruler of the Universe to touch the heart of President Coolidge, so that he may grant a Christmas pardon to our great leader. The request was heartily responded to and observed with the greatest solemnity. The singing of the doxology brought the day to a close.

VELASCO, CUBA
The Universal Negro Improvement Association scored a complete success on Sunday, December 20, before a large gathering of delegates, deputies and representatives from various sister divisions and friendly societies, friends and well-wishers, Vesaco Division dedicated its Liberty Hall to the service of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and also unveiled its charter. The program was fine and the ceremonies were worthy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its high teachings.
"Garvey's Day" service was conducted that it caused many hearts to go out in sympathy for the Hon. Marcus Garvey, president-general and founder of the association. A banquet which was given by the officers and members of the division brought an eventful day to its close.
The order of procedure was as follows: The dedication service started at 3:30 p. m. by the singing of the opening ode, "From/Greeland's ley Mountain." A prayer for the success of the undertaking was said, by Chaplaim John G. Mullins, and a verse from the 5th chapter of the first book of Kings was explained by him, Mr. Ernest C. Benjamin, president of the division, introduced the delegates and representatives and welcomed them to Velasco after reading their testimonials and 'credentials.' He "impressed upon the audience the importance of the occasion, and asked that their divided attention and support be given. The explained the rapid growth of the Division showing that the division was organized in February of this year and from that time until now many great things have been done. He said we have reached the high water mark in our division, and that it is now time that we turn our undivided attention to the support of the parent body and work to our limit to put the program through of "Africa for the Africans at home and abroad."
The chair at this point was turned over to the High Commissioner, the Hon Richard H. Bachelor, who was present and helped us with the day's program. He expressed his pleasure on the occasion and congratulated the division upon its rapid growth. He encouraged us to carry on the good work to a successful end, which he said will be the "Redemption of Africa."
The chair, which was composed chiefly of Black Cross Nurses, headed by the Lady President, Mrs. D. Johnson, and directed by Chole Masters R. Grey and C. Er Dixon, rendered so very fine selections appropriate for the occasion. A sold by the Lady President entitled "Pin Nearing Africa" received much applause; also a large sold by Mr. John D. Titus, entitled "Breakers Ahead."
The chairman, in closing the dedications service, said: "This 'Liberty Hall of Venusco Division' is from now the recognized property of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, and that it must always be respected as such." This brought the dedication service to a close and at this point a recess was taken to give the delegates, officers and members time to regale themselves and prepare for the unveiling of the charter, which was the chief event of the day.
At 5 p. m. the delegates from the various divisions dressed in full regalia made up of the tri-colors of the Association, and the representatives of other societies marched from the residence of the second vice-president, which is a short distance from Liberty Hall. The order of marching was as follows: Delegate R. T. Webley-president of the Ciego de Avila Division, No. 78, of the U. N. I. A., marched in front as directors of the procession, followed by the banner, borne by Mr. H. Brooks, assistant to the executive secretary, Mr. Richard Grey, came next hearing the Cuban flag, and hard behind him was the well-beloved flag of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, borne (Continued on page 6)

MARCUS GARVEY COMMITTEE ON JUSTICE.
NEW ORLEANS, LA
On January 1, 1926, the New Orleans Division held its usual annual parade. Long before the appointed time Liberty Hall was crowded with members and spectators. At 1 p. m. the procession was on its way. The Legions, the Motor Corps, the Black Cross Nurses and the juveniles formed quite a military spectacle. Another imposing scene was Mrs. Louisa Henderson in the role of the Ethiopian Queen. Mounted on a float decorated with the Iet, Black and Green, and two guards on either side, she looked every inch a queen. Something of a deep pathos and sentiment was aroused by the banners that were carried in the parade, which captured the attention of everyone, energy and for all alike. Some of the banners, read, "Marcus Garvey, we are behind you 480,000,000 strong." "Some we do not a person makes, nor from burs a cage." "We need the release of Marcus Garvey!" Why not let him go? "Give us Africa back, and then back to Africa."
There were many more inspiring motives. The procession wended its way through the principal streets and was cheered and applauded by all. The procession returned to Liberty Hall without a mishap. At 1:33 p.m. a tired, endosmastic audience was there again. Meeting was called to order by the acting president, Mrs. Grace D. Davis, who spoke on the economical and financial status of the parade. Mr. T. C. Cooper read a paper on the declaration of independence. Mr. Cornellus W. Thompson gave a short address, thanking the audience for their applauded behavior.
Sunday, January 3. Garvey Day, was celebrated by a mass meeting in the New Orleans pavilion. On account of inclement weather the crowd was not as large as expected. And the acting president, Mrs. Grace D. Davis, having met with an accident and being incapacitated, the vice-president, E. A. Francis, presided. The hymn, "Shine on Eternal Light," was sung as professional. The ritual was read by Phillip Clinton. The meaning of Garvey Day was outlined by Mr. E. A. Francis, first vice-president; The following program was rendered: Reception by the band; lecture by Dr. Johnson, who spoke lengthily on the economic status of the Negro race, also on the harm the Negro's "religion" has done to him financially. Mrs. P. S. Waterhouse was scheduled to speak, but was indulged at the time with a sore throat. The vice-president spoke on "Unity." The offerty was rendered by the band. The meeting closed with the National Anthon and dedication.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
Twelve in New Negro
be the Editor of The Negro World:
I cannot conceive of any greater
providence than to write a new words
inspires of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. God planned
fruitful seed in the bosom of the
Memorable Marcus Garvey which is
destined to thrive and grow until it
discours out into Negro nationhood.
Those who are not willfully blinding
themselves to the trend of present-day
events can readily see in which direction
the affairs of the Negro are going.
Negroes are taking hold more and
more, and it only remains for them to
understand the doctrines of the Universal Negro Improvement Association
more thoroughly for many more millions to commence to do their bit to
get the program over.
We are praying that our leader will soon be returned to us; but in the meantime, we are determined to stick to the program with bulldog tenacity so that the Association may not fall to progress during his absence.
The Negro of today as represented by the Universal Negro Improvement Association has come to stay and those who are wise will not attempt to hinder its progress. It does not mean that the program will be defeated. It only means trouble for the ones who are foolish enough to try to hinder its progress.
The Negro has before him a future filled with hope and promise. The race is millions strong and all it needs is unity to put over any reasonable and practical plan for racial advancement.

Negro World News
Cheers African Natives
To the Editor of The Negro World:
News of the progress of the Negro is largely sought by our African brothers even in the most remote corners of what is generally termed the "dark continent." Encouraging messages reach and cheer even the most illiterate of the natives through The Negro World. Through this medium the search of events is closely watched even by the most heartless critics who, seeing, hearing and believing, traitorously pretend not to see, hear and believe.
The spirit of Garvey is being carried throughout the continent and is taking possession of the hearts and minds of the native population. It has taken a firm hold and is defying all attempts at eradication. Wherever there is a small group of Africans
RHEUMATISM
A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by One Who Had It
In the year of 1991 I was attached by Muscular and Sub-Acute Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted Rupw for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporary. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely and such a pitiful condition has never returned. I have given it to a woman who we were probably afflicted by, bedridden, some of the severity to eighty years old, and the results were the same as in my own case.

Hopes for Speedy Release of Mr. Garvey
To the Editor of The Negro World:
By the time this letter reaches you,
I am hoping that our great leader,
the Honorable Marcus Garvey, will once more be at liberty to carry on the work of our great organization.
This is the season when all Christian people are singing "Peace on earth, good will to men." I wonder how many of the white races mean, to include the Negro when they sing this song so fervently, I fear not.
I take this opportunity to redeclare my Royalty and devotion to the Honorable Marcus Garvey. I am wishing for him health and strength and renewed determination to carry on the work of the association during 1926.
Slogan of Universal Inspiring to Members
To the Editor of The Negro World!
It is a great pleasure to read The Negro World. I find that it brings to the Negro the kind of message that other Negro papers never bring. The slogan of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, "Let's Put It Over," is encouraging and hopeful and cannot help cheering those who constantly see it.
God has endowed the Negro with the same attributes as those possessed by other races. Our physical and mental endowments are no less than those possessed by other races. Our progress has been slow in the past, but what the future holds only we may determine. So let us get together and "put it over."
W. C. DUCKER.
New Orleans, La.
To the Editor of The Negro World:
The passion for power is universal.
Man never refreshes more than, when he becomes conscious of power by overcoming difficulties and attaining desired ends.
There are various kinds of power which it is our duty to covet and gain.
The most precious of all possessions is power over self: Power to bear suffering, to face danger, to follow our convictions in spite of obstacles. Then, there is the power through which the mind triumphs over matter. These human attributes, we cannot prize too highly.
Every man has been within him the desire for supremacy. The Negro is no different from others, but he is often slow to recognize within himself cer-

INDIAN RULES INDIANS
OF RED LAKE TRIBE
CASS LAKE, Minn., Jan. 20, (A.P.)—Seventeen hundred Indians of the Red Lake Chippewa tribe are being governed by one of their own people, Ms. Mark L. Burma, new Red Lake Agency superintendent, a mixed blood of twenty years' service in the United States Indian Bureau.
Efforts of the new chief are directed at removing the last vestige of aloginal customs still existing in this isolated section—the "meditine men" and the self-torture to appease the anger of traditional "evil" spirit.
Burma has jurisdiction over the tribe's own councils, which still function as in days of old. He began his work as the Chippewa entered on what may be one of their most trying periods.
Acting at the request of younger gentlemen and demands of Chippewa in general, the Indian bureau has taken steps toward breaking up the great reservation. It proposes to allot the rich timber land, according to the rule which has permitted virtually all American Indians to assume control of their own property.
In this case the 1,700 Indians would be allotted 100 acres each and the remainder of the approximately 480,000 acres would be sold for the benefit of the Chippewa tribal fund, which is shared by 13,000 Chippewa. Old men of the tribe, satisfied with strict government control and fearing poverty which has overtaken many emancipated braves, will fight the proposed allotment. They claim exemption under an old treaty.
Filipinos Active in Relief Fund Drive
Mrs. Mary Frances Kern, executive director of the campaign to raise $2,000,000 in the United States for the care and education of abandoned and neglected children of American parents in the Philippines, announced yesterday that headquarters had been opened for the drive in Chicago, at the Hotel Congress.
Major General Leonard Wood, Governor General of the Philippines, personally, has sponsored the campaign. The endowment fund will be supervised by the American Guardian Association, incorporated by General Wood in 1921.
In the Chicago branch the active support of United States Senators William B. McKinley and Charles S. Deneen has been enlisted. There are 18,000 children being aided by the American Guardian Association, of whom 4,000 are described as being in urgent need.
Native Filipino musicians and dancing girls entertained members of the American Guardian Association yesterday afternoon in the Murray Hill Hotel, who assembled to discuss ways and means to obtain an endowment fund of $2,000,000 to be used in the care of neglected mixed-blooded American children in the Philippines.

Rabbi Drachman Says Jews Are Excluded From Many Homes and Denies Marriage Ban Exists—Still After Rabbi Wise
Judaism does not inculcate and Jews do not, as a people, possess undue pride, aversion to the fellowship of those of other faiths or antagonism to any human being because of race. The lack of desire for fellowship is more on the part of the Gentile than of the Jew.
These assertions were made yesterday in the synagogue of the Congregatiion Zichron Ephraim, 163 East Sixty-seventh street, by Rabbi Bernard Drachman. In answer to charges made last Sunday by the Rev. John Haynes Holmes in a sermon in the Community Church, Park avenue and Thirty-fourth street.
"If we look closely into the matter," Dr. Drachman told his congregation, "the lack of the desire for fellowship will be found to be more on the part of the Gentle than of the Jew. It is certainly rather illogical to accuse the Jew of a fear of fellowship at a time when many hotels and clubs are closed to him, when numerous landlords of fine apartments will not take him as a tenant, and when those who consider themselves social leaders do not welcome him to their home."
The assertion that the Jew is equally fearful of admixture of his blood with that of other races is also unfounded. Dr. Drachman said, pointing out that "a recent happening in New York has given conspicuous evidence of this."
"These criticism were due to the unpleasant and regrettable controversy in Jewry brought about by the ill-advised sermon of Dr. Stephen Wise on the founder of Christianity and his relation to Judaism, and the natural investment of the orthodox rabbis at the marks attributed to one who is supposed to be a great leader of Judaism.
"I do not object to criticism in itself, but the examination must be indeed impartial and the defects alleged must be actual and genuine. Though Dr. Holmes is generally considered a very liberal-minded and learned gentleman, his views that the Jew is a victim of overwhelming pride who fears fellowship and racial admixture do not display either of these characteristics.
Why Not Let Women Serve on Mo. Juries?
ST. LOUIS—The Missouri women's legislative committee wants the law amended to render women eligible for jury service. The present law restricts jury service to male voters. The women's organization claims, "While women would not revolutionize the administration of justice, they would bring to the courtroom a viewpoint which it does not now have."

SEES EVOLUTION AT WORK Scientist Says It is Reducing
BALTT. JOHN NO. JAN. 18. Scientific men are finding evidence that evolution is still working on the body of man and changing it. says Dr. Adolph H. Schultz, who is an Associate in Anthropology of the John Hopkins Medical School.
Dr. Schultz says his research has shown that evolution is now decreasing the size of the ears, and that not more than 20 percent of human beings have ears of the same size.
"In the past the tendency was for the ear to continue growth after birth and to increase in size in proportion to the body," he says. "Now we find that the tendency is to decrease in size as compared with the size of the body."
Having eliminated two of the roots of the wisdom teeth, he says, evolution is now working toward the complete elimination of these teeth. He also asserts that the bones in the little toe are being reduced in number.
In the greater number of persons, he continues, the eyes are on differing levels, usually the opposite side of the mouth differ in size and in level, the right arm is usually longer than the left, the collar bone is seldom symmetrical and one foot is usually larger than the other.
Dog Fights to Guard Little Boy Fast Asleep
At Waynesburg, Pa. five-year-old George Fox left home with his dog, Jack. In search of wild game. By nightfall the neighbors were hunting for the pair. At 9 o'clock Guy Henderson, coon hunting, heard dogs fighting and went to them, thinking they had found a coon. But what he discovered was the boy's dog trying to keep the coon dogs away from his little master, fast asleep nearby. The child told his mother that his dog "got after a big animal with two long ears and a big white spot," and that he had tried to keep up with the dog.

Persian Woman Said
To Be 146 Years Old
JERUSALEM, Jan 18—The first census in the history of Peru, which has just been completed, reveals unusual longevity among the peasantry of the country. In the village of Michin, at the foot of the Alwand Mountains, lives a woman named Mina who is 146 years old and has a son 117. The hardy mountainers, living in extreme poverty in ramshackle huts, live principally on bread and milk with meat a rare artifact of food. The census was undertaken by the order of the Shah when Arthur Mill paugh, the American administrator of Persian finances, confessed his inability to estimate the revenue that the Government might realize, because he lacked statistics on the population.

RED PEPPER FOR RHEUMATIC PAIN
Red Pepper Rub takes the "ouch" from sore, stiff, aching joints. It cannot hurt you, and it certainly stops that old rheumatism torture at once.
When you are suffering so you can hardly get around, just try Red Pepper Rub and you will have the quickest relief known. Nothing has such concentration, penetrating heat as red peppers. Just as soon as you apply Red Pepper Rub you will feel the tingling heat. In three minutes it warms the sore spot through and through. Pain and soreness are gone.
Ask any good druggist for a jar of Rowles Red Pepper Rub. Be sure to get the genuine, with the name Rowles, on each package.
