DR. THOMAS AUTHOR
 OF NEW TEXT BOOK

Little Rock, Feb. PA new course of study will be opened at the Uni versity of Arkansas next term-so new that special text book will be written for the subject "Race Rela- tions' is the name of the course, and it will answer a wide demand for some such course throughout the south. Dr. D. Y. Thomas, head of the department of history and political science at the University, will write enc chapter of the next textbook, which is being prepared by a special commission. The course will deal with the geographical distribution of the races of the world, the present situa- tion of the white race as the domi- nant race, the history of the negro in America, and the present day aspect of the race question (Japanese as well as negro) in relation to the church, education, sanitation and civil and economic justice. A number of the southern colleges have already intro- duced such a course. At a meeting of the inter-racial committee of the Y. NJ. C. A. held in Atlanta last Novem- Der, the University Rase Commission was requested to outline a standard course for colleges and universities. It is now at work on the course and also on the text book.

BAN sHEADLoCK HoLD'
 BY'S 'STRANGLER LEWIS
tBy United Press)

New York, Feb. 12.rJack Curley's ban on the "headlock yhold" in wrest- lings bouts in New York has divided the ranks of the srapplers and mat fants. Mostly effected by the edict~ of the promoter wKe has become pfact- ieally the contfoller of the sport in America, is the heavyweight champ ion, Ed "Strangler" Lewis who work ed his waysup and wsf the title by the "headleck"
 Lewis claims that the prohibition of his pet Hold wilpjust about ruin him as the most Lucrative matches are staged sn-.New York and as smaller promoters in other states are fol- lowing the lead of CGrley in outlaw ing the hold.
 Many fans claim the head-lock is not more punishing or brutal than the "scissors" of the former champion, Joe Strecher, or the toe hold. Earl Cadock, judged by many fans the best of all the present crop of matmen, IS among the grapplers who side with Lewis and claim the hold is not so dangerous that it should be ruled out. Curley bases his action on the grounds that the public and the press demanded a ban on the grip after Lewis had injured several opponents.

YELLOW PERIL ARTICLE

Mcclure in Times Predicts Yellow Races Contest Mastery of
 White Peoples.
By Webb Miller.

(United Press Staff Correspondent. )
 London, Feb. 12,-A vast war be- tween the yellow and black races for supremacy of the word-that is the possibility seen by S. s. Mcclure, American publisher, after long trip through the Orient.
 In a long article in the Times Me Cure gives nls reasons for believing such a war is inevitable. His main point is that Japan, China and the Mongolian races are animated by the most powerful and elemental of hu- man reasons in the necessity for ex- pansion. He foresees that the Moham- medan world and the black race of Africa would be impelled to join the yellow races, because they have been under the subjugation of the white races.
 The article urges the vital necessity of an understanding between Britian and the United States, the two most powerful representatives of the white race, to defend the interests of the Caucasian races against the Yellow Peril" Mcclure says:
 "The policies of Japan are determ- ined by the most fundamental force in nature-that is, the struggle to make a living. No nation in the world needs room as much as Japan and for the Japanese there is no part of the world so desirable as North America. We find the same condition in China. The struggle for land has caused innumer- able wars in Europe for hundreds of years. The coming struggle for land will be on the scale of continents and hemispheres. There is another strug- gle looming in the future which will include also the people of Africa against the dominance of the white race.
 Ut can be seen that the white race has secured and undue proportion of the choicest portions of the globe; that the white race has, frequently

with cruelty and injustice, ruled over the colored peoples-that these peo- pies are bound to fight against the domnance of the whites; and that just as Japan has mastered all the machin- cry of war, so many of the other peo- pies of Africa and Asia"
 Mcclure writes that if the rulers of Russia should follow their present policy of working with the peoples of Asia, the world is facing a conflict that will be much more terrible than the last war.
 The Times in an editorial scouts the possibilities predicted by Mcclure, but says "it is not without it's clements of truth, but to most Britishers it will seem strangly exaggerated and quite needlessly alarmist."
 However, the Globe is more inclined to listen to McClure's warnings. It says I've are not all disposed to set aside as chimerical the very grave warning given by Mr Mcclure. All war is at the bottom caused by pres sure of population and in the east and even in Africa, that pressure is be- coming heavier and heavier every day"
 "The same pressure of population 1 that drove Attila and Tamerlane and i Chingiz Kahn westward is most keen ly felt today" the Globe says. "China feels herself a riapt in a capa and the sixty millions of Japanse, snatch ing the barest living from an inhos- pitable soil, turn their eyes with long ing to the rich and as yet unexhausted lands across the Pacific. We, the British and Americans, no longer pos sess any superiority in weapons. ! The crisis may come much more quickly than we imagine. At no period in the worlds history have events moved so rapidly as they have. done in this"

SENATE CIGARETTE
 BILL PASSES HOUSE

Little Rock, Feb. 12.-The general assembly has acceded to the request of prosecuting attorneys and circuit judges throughout the state to strengthen the anti-cigarette law which has been on the statute books for several years. After an hour and a half debate yesterday afternoon, the house passed by a vote of. 46 to 37 the bill by Senator Johnston pro hibiting the sale of cigarettes to mi
 nors under IS years of age and pro
 viding for the licensing of dealers in cigarettes. It has been shown that the law which prohibits absolutely the sale of cigarettes has been for years openly violated. The argument was advanced that it is better to license the dealers and thereby provide a fund and an agency whereby the sale of cigarettes can be regulated and their use by minors effectually pro- hibited. The measure had the SUD- port of the state health office and of the American Legion, and majority of the medical fraternity of the state.
 In a memorial presented to the house during the consideration of the bill by the Eberts Post of the Ameri- can Legion, the following statement is made: Standing first and fore most for the enforcement of law, the American Legion deprecates the dis regard of law which must always be fathered by the presence of laws upon the statute books which are not and cannot be enforced because of their conflict with well established and ap- proved customs of the people,

OVERSUPPLY OF UNSkILLED
 LABOR

The story, perhaps tpOCryphal, brought from Italy by a trade com missioner from the United States, which is in substance that the Italian government proposes to take control of emigration, with a view of "distri- outing it scientifically" among nations bidding for labor, and in order that this may be used as a basis of ex- change for coal and other raw pro- ducts of her industry, suggests a good many obstacles which, if the story is true, the Italian government cannot have taken into account. The most impressive lesson it conveys, how ever, is the growing unimportance of untrained labor. There is a moral here for all who would shape their lives in accordance with future needs.
 In attempting to control the destiu- ies of those who want to leave their country, according to this authority, the Italian government plans to grant passports only to unskiIled laborers, of whom there is large surplus. Ar tisans are to be kept at home to de- Velop the industries for which, through judicious manipulation Of the Hnskilled surplus, it is hoped to obtain fuel and other basic materials. The untrained are mere pawns in the game; the educated become the true aristocrats of industry, honore1 by having their privilege of choice re- stricted, because thereby the govern ment admits that they are indispens- able to the state.
 Only short while ago the notion obtained widely that too many men were being educated for the so.called higher walks of life, and that pres ently there would be no one left to do work which required no skill at all Already the number of jobs which training is not desirable has dimin- ished almost to the vanishing point The suggestion may not be amiss that If Italy is foresighted 1t will push vigorously a program of industrial education which will reduce the sup ply of unskilled labor by transferring it to higher ranks. The pick and shovel era is fast being superseded by that of the machine. Demands in every country, including our own, is not so much for the proverbiaI man of weak head and strong back as for those who bring special knowledge to their tasks.
