NEW YORK CITY, Feb. lin
an investigation held by the Commits
sioner of Accounts of New York on
the rewriting of history books, Viii
liam Pickens, associate field secretary
OF the N. A. A. c. p. demanded that
future histories show the part played
by Black Men in the great war.
Referring to histories he studied
while student in school, he said;
Il went through public school," he
said, "and graduated from Yale and
was a grown man before l ever
learned that it was black man who
shot Major Pitcairn at Bunker Hill,
or that one man out of every ten at
the Battle OF Lake Erie was black. or
that in the War of 1912 there we're
many black men behind the American
parapet of cotton bales, or that George
Washington had hundreds OF colored
Soldiers. or that Abraham Lincoln
said that without the 100000 black
troops on the Northern side they
never would have won.
For the sake OF good feeling be-
tween black and white that is essen
tial want our histories to show the
part that colored soldiers played in
the great war

Slave Stories Untrue,
Maintains Briggs

NEW YORK. Feb. 11.-Cyril V.
Briggs, paramount CHIEF OF the Afri-
can Blood Brotherhood. issued a warn
ing to the Negro People OF America
against being deceived by the slave
trade" propaganda now being directed
against Abyssinia from British and
French propaganda sources Accord
ing to Mr.. Briggs, the slave trade
thrives no greater in Abyssinia than in
those parts of Africa under European
rule, and the present fearful concern
OF Great Britain over the terrible con
ditions" obtaining in Abyssinia is
nothing more than the usual prop
uganda which precedes a big steal"
The European plunderers are plan
ming another attempt against Abys-
-inian independence. AM body tamil
lar with conditions in the African
colonies" OF Britain and France and
possessed OF a KNOWLEDGE OF the meth
ods Of imperialists will Immediately
recognize that behind the stories
cuanating from London Of terrible
conditions Of slavery in Abyssinia is
the desire to complete the partition OF
Africa and the subjugation OF the last
African people to maintain their in
dependence in full.

CALLS PASSAGE Of
DYER BILL GREAT
ACHIEVEMENT

The New York Nation. one OF the
Oldest liberal publications OF the
United States, in its issue OF February
8, calls the passage Of the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill the most important
legal step ever taken toward ending
our peculiarly national disgrace The
entire editorial paragraph in the Ma
ton reads as follows:
The passage of the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill in the House OF Repre-
sentatives by the large majority OF
go to 119 is an achievement. Every
American should derive distinct salts
faction from this, the most important
legal step ever taken toward ending
our peculiarly national disgrace. For
this accomplishment the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Col
ored People, which for years has
labored to arouse the American con-
science about lynchings and to crystal
lie public sentiment into effective
legislation, deserves full credit. But
the tight is not yet won; the bill still
has to pass the Senate. Those who
feel the sting when Europeans ask
Do you really mean that crowds
gather to see men burned alive in
America? should give the National
Association unstinted support until the
bill not only passes the Senate and be-
comes law, but is enforced.
Those who wish to act in accordance
with the suggestion of the Nation,
which for more than fifty years has
championed the cause of colorcd
Americans, may send donations for

Sport Models
Speedster - Sport Touring

THE Sport Models, Speed

complete the Dixie Flyer
family, GROWING with distinc-
ton the efforts of Dixie
Engineers.
These cars, constituting the
latest acquisitions to the Dixie

They reflect the ideas of in
vigorated, red-blooded youth;
characterized by individualism
without a trace of freakish-
ness.
The Speedster is a two-seat-
er that is given a racy appear
ance by special body design,
lowering of seats and inclin-
ing steering column and wind
shield. 1t is equipped with
removable, collapsible top
which is stored in the dust and
weather-proof rear compart-
ment when not in use.
The Sport Touring is a five
passenger car of surprising
roominess with low-hanging,
one-man top iutting over the
sloping, nickel-trimmed wind
shield. A design that satisfies
the ultra fashionable and yet,
car in which the family of
modest taste feels at home.
Both Speedster and Sport
Touring are deliberately pro-
vided with special equipment
that beauties and contributes
to the exceptional car value in
Dixie Sport Models. Alumi-
mum steps of attractive design
are substituted for the conven-
tional running board. Uphol-
