TIMORE

Baltimore, Nd, Dec. IS. The race
people of Baltimore have made ouch
rapid strides in the way of accumu-
lating property-valuabl property
that the whites have become afraid
will be invaded. In order to stop
the Negroes in their quest for land
and to keep them out of the exclu-
sive residential section Of the whites,
a city segregation law was drawn up,
which would have, had it not justly
been declared unconstitutional, con-
fined our people to the undesirable
parts of the city where the environ
mept for the rearing of children
would be anything but pleasant
Since they failed to segregate the
people by law, a neighborhood segre-
cation provision, taking in more than
300 residents of Baltimore's finest
residential section, has been framed
and the instrument in the nature of
an agreement has been filed at the
records Office.
The area takes in 2 large section
of the northwest and is one that has
been threatened by Negro invasion
since, the city segregation law was
declared void. The agreement with
the owners guarantee against the
sale Of the properties in the pres
cribed district to people of African
descent"
The agreement. which will be fol-
lowed by similar facts in other To-
calities, is hoped by the whites to be
effective. but in order to counter
act this. the Colored business men of
Baltimore have organized themselves
into a real estate company whose
sole purpose is to purchase resi-
dences in this so called heaven

WHAT CAUSED THE WARP PIGS.

lust ordinary barnyard pigs, brought
on the world war. This is the latest
contribution from The royal houses
OF the Central Empires submitted to
history as the cause OF the conflict.
II is put forth seriously by no less
a parsonage than Count Carl Sail

Emperor Charles in Vienna
In statement to a master OF the
convoy bringing American Red Cross
relief to Budapest, the Count ex-
planned how plain, ordinary porkers

SUGAR SUBSTITUTES IN FOODS
MUST BE STATED ON LABELS.
Harmful Substances, Including Sac
charm, Are Prohibited, Object OF
Regulations is to Let Consumers
Know What They Are Getting
Offering Goods Liable to Seizure.

Substitutes for sugar or for other
normal ingredients of foods should
be declared on the labels of the
packages of foods in which they are
used, if the packages are shipped
within the jurisdiction of the Federal
Food and Drugs Act, say the officials
of the Bureau of Chemistry, United
States Department of Agriculture,
who are charged with the enforce
ment of that act Only substitutes
which are harmless are permitted
in foods under the terms of the law,
and those that are permitted should
be stated clearly on the labels.
The object of the regulation that
substitutes be declared on the labels
is not to limit in any way the use of
wholesome substitutes, the officials
state, but to let the consumers know
what they are getting. A purchaser
of any food product, of which sugar
is normal ingredient, will naturally
expect to get sugar in that product
unless advised to the contrary. AS
the substitutes are usually cheaper
than the substance for which they
are used, it is only fair both from
the standpoint of the purchaser and
from that of fair trading, that a
clear distinction be made on the
labels between foods that contain
all the normal ingredients and foods
IN which one or. more of the normal
ingredients is replaced by cheap
er substance.

OUTLINE OF PARTY ATTITUDE
BENEFIT TO WOMEN VOTERS.
Recent Utterances of Chairman VIII
H. Hays viii be of Great Value.

Republican women who want to
know the partys attitude on cur
rent questions may find their an
swer in one of the recent speeches of
viii H. Hays, chairman of the Re
publican National Committee, who
urged on the part of government,
group and individual ''the practice of
the strictest individual economy con-
sistent with the proper development
of present-day needs and possibil-
tiles, and voiced a party pledge when
he said, There shall be legislation
passed as rapidly as possible, and,
when the complete Republican con-
troll necessary for full function shall
have been brought about. there shall
be legislation and execution all NOV
ing in the direction of efficiency and
economy, for the establishment of
business in the country on a sound,
safe and sane basis; the solution of
the railroad problem; legislation for
a better relation between labor and
capital, with justice for both; law
providing budget system for the
country's own business: legislation
for the development of our diplo-
matte service: the solution of our
shipping problem that we may have

development Of our position on in

the readjustment which is imminent"
OF industrial problems. Mr. Hays
said: THE industrial problems of
the country will. I have implicit
faith, be solved in one way-by find

CHALLENGE RESOLUTION OF
SOUTH CAROLINA AMERICAN
LEGION.


The National Association for the
Advancement OF Colored People
through It's chairman, Mary White
Ovington, has issued statement
challenging a resolution Of the Ann
erican Legion Of South Carolina
which stated that the Associations
activities would tend to cause fric-
ton between the races.
The statement, which asserts that
Colored soldiers from South Carolina
outnumbered white and that the per-
centage of illiteracy among the Col
ored troops was less than among
the white, Is as follows:
| am at a loss to understand your
position regarding the work OF a
body that lays special stress upon
securing due process OF law rather
than mob violence for Negroes
whether they live In the North or
In the South. Our branches, In what
ever states they may operate, voice
the sentiment of the educated, law
abiding Negroes who have so recent
ly helped America to achieve VIC
tory In the Great War. We note,
however, that your resolution con-
deming our activities is from "the
American Legion of South Carolina
representing the white soldier who
fought in the recent great war
We feel that we are right in con-
sidering also the opinion of the Col
ored soldiers of South Carolina, who
outnumbered the white. particularly
In view of the fact that among the
Colored there was less illiteracy than
among their white comrades at arms.
Very truly yours,
(Signed
