WoRLD-wAR CLOSES; ORGANIZE
AND MEET FOR ABOLITION OF
RACE AUTocRAcY AT HOME;
.coLoRED DELEGATES, ON TO
WASHINGTON, DEC. Is, 1918.

Foreseeing coming events, the Ma
tional Equal Rights League of Col
ored Americans in 18th Annual and
National Convention assembled in
Chicago, Sept. 10, 1918, adopted and
sent forth 70 the race a plan for a
national race representative Congress
for race petitioners who shall proceed
abroad and have the cause of dem
ocracy for Colored Americans pre-
sented at the Peace Council Table.
The plan is the formation at once of
local equal rights leagues or commit
tees to elect and send delegate Zone
additional for every so members over
the first 5O) to such a Congress at
Washington, ID. C.
One delegation can be sent even if
the members number less than so.
The time set was Jan. LIST, 1919.
The Leagues officers have set the
date forward to Dec. 16, 1918, in
view of early closing of the war. All
existing Colored organizations are
asked to affiliate with the League and
send one delegate for every so mem
bers. This applies to religious, civic,
political, fraternal, industrial and
literary race bodies. National organ
izations working for equality for Col
ored Americans will be asked to send
2 delegates-at-large.
These delegates chosen by race or
locally will assemble and
elect race ENJOYS to be sent to the
seat of the international peace con-
ference.
Hasten to organize your league,
Colored Americans, in every COM
munity and elect your delegates.
Never in our time will there be
another opportunity like this to ask
the world for justice and consistency.
Upon those of US, and God grant that
they may be few, who fail now, will
be the responsibility for our race be-
ing left the Slaves of the goth CEN
tury." The Leagues secretary hum
bly, prays the race, in the name of his
departed wife, a martyr to its cause,
to vindicate its honor and move for
a share of the world democracy.

WOMAN WITHOUT
FOUR CHILDREN
TERMED STACKER
Professor Urges Superior
Glasses" to Maintain
Members

Women of America are Stacking on
the job of motherhood, in the opin-
ion of Prof. Roswell H. johnson of
the University of Pittsburgh, who
spoke nthe subject of "Aequate
Production" at the ninth annual con-
ference of the American Association
for Study and Prevention of Infant
Mortality, which opened its sessions
Thursday at the Congress hotel.
"We must expect more than 81
births from all superior women of the
country or we cannot have a pro-
gressive race and maintain our num-
bers," said Prof. johnson. "Are our
superiors reproducing adequately?
Without retailing here the details, the
answer is decidedly no. Woe to the
nation which, like ours, finds its
superior women Stacking on the job
of motherhood. The married woman
who does not have more than three
children is, except in a few cases,
pulling back on the wheels of pro-
gress. We have talked much of the
nobility of women who gave sons to
the risk of death. Have we no word
of appeal to superior women to give
life to sons?"
Single Women Blamed.
The single women are just as guilty
slackers as the married ones, accord
ing to the professor.
"Are theyto be wholly excused for
their celibacy?" he asked. Haven't
they allowed themselves to drift into
an inexcusable anti-social misan-
thropy?"
A racial noblesse oblige is what
the women of the country need to
remember, he declared. An income
of $4,000 or more was declared to
be actually injurious to the recipient
and his family, and such a man was
called flair game for the income tax
collector"
Sex education, economic fair play,
and birth control knowledge for the
ignorant classes in order to reduce
the disparity in the birth rate be-
tween theirs and the educated classes
were advocated.
Csntonments for Segregation.
DR.. Johnson suggested that the
United States cantonment should
eventually be used to segregate feeble
minded women who might produce
their own kind.

quarters for the accommodation of

FAKE INFLUENZA CURES.

Any wide spread outbreak of ar
epidemic disease invariably brings to
light a flood of fake cures for it. The
present almost nationwide prevalence
of influenza is proving no exception
to the rule.
The Department of Health has re-
ceived many alleged cures for both
influenza and pneumonia from well
meaning but ignorant people, who
think they have made a wonderful
discovery and who are willing to give
it to the health officials for a price.
Sometimes, however, these remedies
are offered free and for the good of
humanity. Frequently the writers
recommend them not only as cures
long known in the ''old country" but
that they also will prevent one from
getting sickness of any kind"
According to a recent issue of the
U. S. Public Health Reports the fake
cure specialists have been busy all
over the land. The u. S. Public
Health Service has been deluged with
offers of wonderful discoveries held
secret but now offered, as a rule, for
only a 1.-THE of what they would be
really worth to suffering humanity"
The formula for these alleged cures
range all the way from sprinkling a
little flour of sulphur in each shoe
every morning to the daily use of a
teasponful of raw onion juice three
times a day.
Now comes the advice of the De-
partment of Health, which is this:
Do not take patent medicines or
advertised nostrum of any kind. AS
yet there is no specific cure for in
huenza; though it has been found
that plenty of fresh air and sunshine
along with good medical care and
nursing greatly reduces the number
of deaths from this disease.
Do not take remedies recommended
by friends or neighbors. As a rule,
they do more harm than good.
In case you are theatened with an
attack of influenza, stay at home and
call your doctor. Getting good start
is more than half the battle.
Don't dope yourself with home
made connections. Let the doctor
precribe what you take. In your ignor-
ance on the subject of treating dis
ease you may be doing the very
things you should not do, if you want
to get well.
Remember that physicians woh give
their whole time to the study of med
icine and disease must know more
a whole lot more in fact-than one
who has never studied these subjects
at all.
Better be sensible and you viii not
be sorry.

the public health official to make bet

munity.

White Tackle VS.. Negro.

Last Saturday at Des Moines, Iowa,
aid Camp Dodge struggled to a score
less tie. AS in the case with service
elevens this year, officers, privates,
and professionals were permitted to
play on the teams. The Dodge team
had Maj. Bradley of the regular army
playing right tackle, while opposed to
him was Slater, the giant Negro tackle
of the Hawkeye team.
Maj. Bradley halls from a town in
the southern part of Missouri. He
had been born and brought up along
the strict southern lines of relation
ship between whites and Negroes. Be
fore the game started Maj. Bradley
was asked if he cared to play against
Slater, and replied in the affirmative.
Fair Play L. Shown.
The writer was an official in this
contest and was warned beforehand
to be on the alert for foul tactics. A
few plays was enough to convince
anyone that the best of feeling existed
between the pair. On several occa-
sions, Maj. Bradley helped Slater to
his feet when the latter was handled
roughly.
The conduct of these players
brought forth much favorable COM
ment from high officials in the army
and those identified with the uni
versity.
