POET WATKINS OBSERVATIONS

Mr.. Lucian d. Watkins writos OF
fIs experiences as a poot. He should
remember that it Is indeed q rocky
road that marks tho way to eminenco
in this direction. We regard him az
genius In this particular line. We
would to God that no could DO valued
at his true worth. Sometime, however
he will reap what no has sown and
will garner that which has been tho
result OF tho years of his labor. Even
Paul Laurence Dunbar secured or had
secured for him government Job In
crder to enablo himself to eke out an
existeace.
Mr.. Watkins Is moro fortunate. The
people are slow to appreciate raro
ability, but when it comes forth in
it's pristine splendor, money enough
Will accompany it to enable the author
to keep out Of tho poor-house. We
hope during our day though to gee
Mr.. Watkins the recipient of a com
Portable income from his productions
and we hope that our people may DO
tho leaders in the movement to make
him financially independent.

We would like to know If the very
aAlc, Rev. DR.. e. G. Morris, President
OF the National Baptist Convention
believes away down in his heart OF
hearts that Robert l.. Hill, under ar
rest in Kansas can get justice in the
courts Of Arkansas? We would also
like to know il he believes that those
c0lored men now in tho Arkansas pen
itcntiary, under sentence OF death
and the others undergoing long terms
OF Imprisonment got justice? We must
ADMIT that wo have high respect for
The Chief Executive of that State and
we believe that if the matter was
absolutely in his hands. fair-play and
m6rited punishment would go hand
in hand.
1t seems to US that Hill will walk
into the electric chair with his Dyes
State and be he guilty or innocent
neither white men nor colored men
well go that route If there is any way
to get by in another direction. Wo
have never understood the merits and
demerits Of this unfortunate affair.
We do know that white men can com
NIT crimes and go scot free, but whom
colored men commit crimes, they
mUst face the music and die without

can Hill and his associates got fair
trial in Arkansas?

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and entire.
iy greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooing, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance Of rich.
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses ut easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and eX-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut Oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is en-
ough to last everyone in the family for

PRESIDENTS STAND
ON FIUME JUST, IS
i SOLDIERS BELIEF

President Wilson'S stand on the
Ffume controversy is Just and abso-
lute1y right, according to Earl J. Smith.
eX-lfeutenant recently discharged, who
Is spending several days in Richmond
visiting his brother, r. Smith, a mem
Der OF one Of the army recruiting
parties now here. Lieutenant Smith
spent two years in Italy with the 32nd
Division and 35th service outfit. He
was also eight months with the Amer
ican Relief Expedition In JugoSlavia,
S@Tbia, Dalmatia and other coast coun-
tres.
If Pr ident Wilson goes back on
hi stand on Fiume, a war between
the JUG0-Slavs and the Italians Is In
eVitab,e." said Smith. And IL it
comes 10 war Italy will be worsted,
for the Jugo Slavs have a force on
hand that could quelch any move of
the Italians. In case Italy gets Fiume
she would be in position to control
the entire country, as the city is the
keystone to the Balkans.
London Pact Unfair.
Even though Italy has been prom
;sed Fiume under the much-talked-of
London pact, It would be as unfair to
give her the city as 1t would be to
give Indiana to Japan, or any free
ration to another nation, and the coun
tries surrounding Italy, who have suf
fered from the war, would certainly
resent it." he continued.
president Wilson has gone too fa1
on his stand, which is correct, to back
out of it, and the Jugo-Slavs, along
with caynral n+Eor Yatinno1itiaS n
basing their all on the presumption
that the president will stand pat"
Smith also said that Presiden,
D'Annunzio, who took Fiume for Italy
IS fast losing his popularity.
Speaking on the condition OF the
Jugo-Slavs, Dalmatians, Montenegrin:
and other peoples hit by the war the
returned soldier said:
Red Cross Is Praised.
''The conditions of these peoples a
present is exceedingly pitiful. Th'
American Red Cross has done much t,
relieve the situation however.
"The Red Cross has been on the jOl
all the time. The Red Cross doctor
and nurses have saved countless mum
hers Of lives.
Hospitals. relief stations, SOU
kitchens and canteens have been es
tablished all over the country. Ware
houses. where the food and clothing
supplies from the United States ar
stored and distributed, have been os
tablished The Red Cross has dis
tributed from 200 to 400 tons O
clothing alone.
"The Jugo SIavs appreciate the hos
ritality extended to them by TIL
Americans and the American stand
