RACE EQUALITY Is NOT SOCIAL
EQUALITY.

IS ir--.s.nco it Ia gcnernl}y thought
that race equality and social equall'
nv arc identical In character, AM

equality is not social equality. Yet
we are continually confronted with
+ the idea as II they were one anu the

NdiTerent as black Is from white.
"A DISTINCTION WITH A
DIFFERENCE
Race equality deals with innate, in

no relationship whatever to race, but

shown that race equality deals with
tile stun out Of which races are
made. Tho Apostle Paul in tho 18th
chapter Of Acts says: And God hath

THE QUESTION OF QUESTIONS

THE KIND OF SEPARATION

/ Yes, we have by divine creation

SETS BILLIARD RECORDS
Belgian Player Has Run of $50 at
1871 Balkline and an Aver
age of 81 II.

NEW YORK, March 30.-Edouard
Horemans, Belgium's ambassador ex-
traordinary to this country in bill
liards, broke the world record for
high run in 1871 billiards and also
the mark for average made in any
single session. whether in a block or
a continued match, in play against
Albert Cutler yesterday. His high
run was $50 and his average 81 IL
Play in this handicap match, in
which Horemans is striving for a
grand total of 2.4O0 points. while
Cutler aims at 1900, is being con-
tinued today. Horemans is leading
by good margin.
The previous record for high run
in competition in 1871 balkline bill
liards was 140 and was established in
1897 by Frank Ives, who was playing
the elder Jake Schaefer in tourna-
ment match. Ives set the previous
record for high average in this same
match at 31A.
Still another world record is in
danger at the hands of the Belgian.
That is the 1871 mark of 20S3 for
grand average in complete contest
made by Willie Hoppe against Mau-
rice Vignaux in Paris. This mark
has stood since 1906. but Horemans,
in his match with Cutler, up to last
night. had made an average of
