suggestions. Rev. Diffenderfer says:
These bodies are frequently called

mediately after the riots at Elaine the
Governor of Arkansas called into con-

the negroes. What shall we do to
relieve the irritation" The reply was
that they thought negro men were
treated with unnecessary roughness
on street cars and by the police. The
white men Immediately took steps to
correct the abuse.
The Y. NJ. c. A. is taking a promi-
nent part in carrying out the plans
of these inter-racial cooperative
committees. They have been admin

the negroes. The Red Cross has also
been very active. in bringing about a
better understanding among the races

feeling Of helpfulness which is it's
fundamental principle.
The question of lynching and
courts of justice has been carefully
Investigated and much progress has
been made all over the southland in

hinges. bound in green brocade and
rolling on two sticks mounted with
large brass handles. The lecturer
said it was written thirteen years
after Moses and this year is 2,57S
years old. After being handled that

pre- servation. The high priests

script into Arabic and the Rev. Will

lecture where the roof of one house
serves as courtyard for its higher
neighbor. A red haired Samaritan
matron with a fat white naked bat

them and they said their husbands
might be angry. Anyway. there was
more generous display of neck and

was not wasted. The Samaritan
women wear wells as Moslems. be-
cause of custom and because thdr
skin is fair and their features differ
ent from the other inhabitants.
When I started to leave the Samari
tan center / found that my pipe, which
I had left on the coping outside the
temple. had gone before me. Its removal
does not prove the insecurity of prop
erty under the British mandate or
affect the merits of the Zionist move
ment, but it brings doubts. to ME at

deserve the prefix good"
