ganization are urged to attend.
The Letter
The following is copy of the
letter, Sec. Howard has mailed to
various Business men and women.
Dear SIR
Don't you think you could increase
better or at least lend something TO
Negro business in st. Paul IL you be-
came member of the local branch
of the National Negro Business Leag-
ue?
1t is very true that there is no
large number of us in the same line
of business while at the same time 1t
means little or nothing for each bus
mess organization or group of the
same kind of business to stand alone.
An organization composed of all per-
sons in business in this community
would have telling effect to say the
least of the benefits that could be
derived from the association.
We are inviting you as Negro
business man-regardles OF the ma
ture of your clientele-to become
partner in an organization whose
purpose is to promote a partner In
an organization whose purpose Is 10
promote Negro business. In this city
and every other city, the white man
has his commercial club for the pro-
motion and protection of his Dusi-
ness while the black man in meas
ure depends upon the church or the
lodge hall to serve to that end. we
seek to remedy this situation.
If you are interested in your busi-
ness or the advancement OF Negro
business: If you believe there in work
for a business organization here; IL
YOU believe in cooperation on the
part of Negro business and profess
sional men inorder to demand the
proper recognition of achievements
in the economic field; IL you believe
by intelligent association and COOP
Grafton of other persons in business
like yourself that you could profit
something. we invite you to meet US
next Thursday evening the 2sth at
Little-Pilgrim on the Hill at 8 p. m.
and join with us in our effort to link
all Negroes in business in this COM
munity into an upand-doing business
organization.
Respectfully yours,

with every care the poultryman may
take, he will have little success in
bringing on layers during the cold
months unless a proper house is pro-
vided.
Experiments by poultry specialists
at the state agricultural colleges with
artificial lighting to promote egg pro-
duction during the short days have
been most interesting. 1t now has
been proven that artificial lights, prin-
cipally electric, that are turned on
early in the morning, will double win
ter egg production, providing, of
course, the hens do not utilize all their
feed to promote warmth. After the
hens have gone to rOost at night, their
morning feed is scattered in the litter
Then when the lights are turned on
usually about 4 a. M, they get off the
perch, are forced to take exercise to
get their breakfasts and are kept in
an active, healthy condition, and pro
duce a comparatively large number of
eggs.
Handling flock of poultry is inter-
esting work and can be made very
profitable now that poultry products
are high and feed costs low. With
the proper sort of a house and careful
feeding and handling, the owner will
find their flock cash-producing asset.

Chestnuts.

An old writer says that horse-chest-
nuts are so called because people in
the East countries do with the fruit
thereof cure their horses of the cough,
shortness of breath, and such-like dis
cases." 1t is always temptation to
seek for an ingenious explanation
when there is a simple one at hand,
but the fact is that the horse-chestnut
has no connection whatever with the
horse. The word horse" as used not
only in horse-chestnut, but also in
horse-laugh, horse-play, horse-radish.
and horse-mint, is the same word as
goose" the common name of the
rough, prickly shrub of our commons.
The horse-chestnut deserves its prefix
doubly, for when inclosed in its burr
it is prick1y thing to handle, and
its kernel is acid and unpleasant to
the taste Similarly, the horse-radish
is a pungent tuber and the horse-mint
a pungent mint. HOrse-play is rough,
uncouth play, and horse-laugh is a
vulgar, bcisterous guffaw.

. Ado chaos is to be Strengthened
N out. The radio telephone conference
called some time ago by Secretary
Hoover to help solve the present chaos
In the air has rendered its final report,
upon which will be based the control
legislation to be asked of congress.
Under the final report wave band
Of 150-275 meters is assigned to anna
teur telegraphy and telephony and for
technical training schools, the amateur
having exclusive rights to 10000 me-
ters. while the training schools must
use oO0-275. There is also a restricted
special wave of $40 meters for special
amateur telegraphy.
AS the conference was designed pri-
marlly to recommend government con-
troll, 1t suggests that Secretary Hoover
be given authority over the establish
ment of all radio transmission stations
except amateur, experimental and gov
eminent, and also the operation of non
governmental stations. These recon-
mendations will be carried into legisla-
ton through a bill drafted by Repre-
sentative White of Maine.
In addition the conference passed
resolutions declaring radio communities

controlled by the government and
recommending that 'the type of radio

HAD CRUDE IDEA OF WORLD
In the Thirteenth Century People Had
Very Simple Notions Concerning
Geographical Facts.

Geography in the Thirteenth CEN
fury was a very simple affair, which
could be completely mastered by a
schoolboy with few minutes study.
The most reliable map pictured a
little fiat world of three continents,
Europe, Asia and Africa. On it's face
appears the various kinds of creatures,
human, animal and semi-human, which
were believed to inhabit the remote
regions of the earth. The holy city
of Jerusalem is placed in the exact
center, and at the extreme east is the
Garden Of Paradise, represented by
an apple tree, Adam and Eve and the
serpent
The earth itself is bounded on the
four quarters by the 'jumping-off
place." In the southern part of At
RIGA appears the figure of strange
man whose face appears to be on his
chest. Elsewhere are griffins, uni
corns and several creatures which COM
pletely defy classification. This map
is interesting to contrast with that
studied in ancient China, which repre-
sented the known world as resting on
the back of cow. Some of the old
Chinese declared that, after an earth
quake they had found some Of the
cows hairs in the assures of the earth.

Railroads Must Stand by Themselves

THE conclusion that Gin the public
L interest the railroad industry must
rest upon it's own foundations and it's
revenues must be so constructively
regulated that the operations of the
carriers will produce enough to pay
fair wages, cost of materials, taxes,
meet the fixed charges, pay fair
dividend and leave a margin to at
tract investors Of new capital" is an
nounced by the joint congressional
commission of agricultural inquiry.
This conclusion is reached by the
commission after study of railroad
management and financing, along with
other conclusions and recommends
tiOns as follows:
That the issue of tax-free securi-
ties and large expenditures for nom
productive purposes by the federal,
state and municipal governments be
reduced to the smallest possible limits
so that the taxes can be decreased and
capital funds be allowed to increase
for the use at fair interest rates by
agriculture, industry and the railroads,
and thereby help promote essential in
dustries.
That the railroads establish regional
traffic executives and organize public
relations departments to bring about
closer contact and better under

A Malayan diet includes, besides
any amount of canned foods, an oc-

meat or beef, oranges, always eaten
green. bananas of all flavors and sizes,

DURAN, which is described as a huge,
green, round, spikey fruit which
smells worse than combination of
Iimberger cheese, the mephitis (our

like a blend of strawberries, onions,

The War and Navy departments run

Uncle Sam also has 1860 citizens

under the supervision of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. His war veterans
get the next best attention, with 1927
civilians in the veterans bureau. Most

vETASHINGTON.-The government
Wv of the United States after pro-
longed delay, is ready to sit around a
table with the representatives of Is
foreign nations which owe it Sill $780,
100000 in principal and interest, to
discuss the funding of this tremendous
war debt.
Up to this time this great obligation
has merely been acknowledged by the
debtor nations. 1t has never been
placed in the form of obligations or Sc
curities.
Now the government is going to get
down to the task of whipping the huge
debt into shape for proper handling.
The task is variously referred to as
the funding" or the "refunding" of
. the debts. 1t has been placed by con-
gress in the hands. of a commission

Point to point communication, or
communication between two fixed
points instead of general broadcasting,
is discouraged by the conference,
which says this method of transmits
sion should not be used when other
means are available. for instance the

Recommendations are made that the

That new money for railroad i'm
provement should Lot be raised

That sound railroad finance requires
that larger part OF the credit nee
essary for railway construction be
obtained by stock issues instead of by
bond issues.
In reaching it's conclusion and in
making it's recommendations, Chair
man Anderson said today the COM
mission utilized this basis:
"The railroads are not self-sustain-
ing and are therefore not on a sound
credit basis. If this condition con-
tinues, transportation service will be
crippled and the country will suffer

employer of civilian labor in America
according to the latest figures of Di-
rector of the Budget Dawes.
With 5SS,61S civilians drawing pay
checks twice month, the government
takes first rank as q employer. The
number, however, shows a consider
able reduction over the pay roll list
of last year, when 643, S33 were work
ing for Uncle Sam.
More than half of his force works
in the Post Office department. The to-
tai is 301,779, compared to 29S,S34 a

The money handlers come next,
with 67,492 men and women working
