Egyptian writer, speaking of the ne
gro, said: ale is different, his skull is
not like ours; it ossifies at the age of
puberty, after which the brain does
not grow" That is a true transla-
ton from the cuneiform characters of
the Egyptians. The difference noted
then exists now.
If the Presidents words, quoted in
the first paragraph, mean anything,
they mean that the negro must be al
lowed to work on an absolute equality
with the white mechanic or artisan.
To be allowed to so work, he would of
necessity have to be admitted to men,
bership in the labor, unions-the
bricklayers' union. carpenters union,
the steamfitters, the boiler makers, the
stonecutters, the timers. the cigar
makers, the machinists. the electro
clans, the typographical union. The
President says, "You must stand for
the political and economic equality of
the races" 1t will be interesting to
note if the question will appeal to the
great labor leaders of the country
with the same force with which it
seems OF have gotten hold of the
President. 1t is interesting to note
how much equality is possible in the
Northern cities to which the negro has
flocked in recent years, where prac-
tically all labor is performed by men,
beers of labor unions, operating under
their rules, which require that each
member demonstrate before a selected
committee his ability to perform skill
fully the work properly falling to
members of that union. believe it
is true at the present time that all
negroes are barred from membership
in these unions, and | am informed by
union men that there are a few ne
groes in those cities who could pass
the required examinations provided
they were admitted to them. Now the
question naturally arises. will the
great unions yield to the plainly ex-
pressed determination Of the Presi-
dent? Those who have tested the
temper of these men in other matters
do not think SO.
If the President is sincere in his
startling utterance, he should show
his faith by his works. The world is
still judging the tree by its fruit.
Something like twenty per cent of the
Republicans are negroes; on that bas-
is, twenty per cent of all the Presi-
dents appointments should go to ne
groes. They should have two men,
bers of the Cabinet, while part Of the
assistant secretaries in the Depart
ments should be negroes, and part of
the Presidents office force, and few
members of the Diplomatic corps, two
Associate Justices of the Supreme
Court, ct cetera. But will the ap-
pointments be made No, not one of
them-in fact, the negroes will not
get at President Harding's hands
three appointments that are desired
by white Republican politicians. 1t is
reported that the President hasn't ev-
en- selected negro chauffeur, and the

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1921

There are too many of US who are
always saying 81 ought to do this" or
u ought to do that" Boys, don't get
into that habit, it's too risky. You
may easily become failure through
it. The real man says 81 shall do this"
or II shall do that"

 You say Many people recommend a steaming cure'' This should not be re- sorted to till every other method has been tried and failed. This for three reasons.
 Steam is most harmful to the eyes, and even when they are covered with a ban dage (which should always be the case if used) the steam will often penetrate and make the lids appear puffy and swol- len. Steaming will also make the skin coarse &S .t,
 Begin by removing all the superhuous greasiness from the face For this you ought to wash it well in quite warm wa- ter and little castillo soap for lather and your fingers. Rinse all the soap of with plenty, of very warm water, then dry the skin quickly, and while still warm rub on some of the following oint- naert: Benzonated marrow, one-half ounce; sulphus hypochlorite, 30 grains {; potassium carbonate, grains; oil of verbena, minin. You can mix this yourself, and when you have worked a little of the ointment in with your finger tips take off the supernucus grease with piece of absorbent cotton. In the | morning wash your face in warm water | and a. little oatmeal in place of soap. l Take little fine oatmeal and mix into | a paste with warm water In the palm of your hand. Rub this over your face, then <, rinse on. Dry your face and use the following lotion which should be dabbed on with pad of absorbent cotton and allowed to dry on the face.
