VIRGINIA RACIAL LAW GETS
SEVERE SETBACK

State Fails to Prove Woman CoIored
Richmond, Vain the first case in
volving the racial integrity" law, the
state lost The statute which was en-
acted for the alleged purpose Of
keeping the strain Of the white race
pure provides that every person
register his racial identity and there
after relied on such records to prevent
marriages between white and very
light complexioned colored people,
which Of course, is forbidden BY law.
The case involved Robert Painter
and Atha sorrells, both apparently
white who applied for a license to
marry. The register Of vital statistics
quoted alleged records which purport-
ed to show that the grandmother Of
the woman was freeborn colored
woman, which she denied. Evidence
tended to show that there was strain
of Indian blood but none showing any
strain of Negro blood.
In his opinion, Judge Holt stated
that while he was in full sympathy
with the purpose of the law, still the
facts in the case did not justify any
finding save one for the plaintiffs. He
said that many authorities had been
looked up but that at no time has there
been a complete and final definition Of
lines between races.
The register of vital statistics. DR..
Picker, stated that this adverse de-
cision would not prevent him from
keeping records up to date and COM
piling facts which will assist in de-
Gliding who are white children for the
purpose Of public school attendance.
II is expected that case involving
an Interpretation Of this law will
eventually reach the United States Su-
preme Court, for BY the ruling in this
case will be established precedent
that will be far-reaching. The CLASH
fcation Of thousands Of people as to
racial identity in this country will be
involved.

Storks in Great Britain

"A Welsh lad was recently attacked
by a large stork which was believed
to have been blown from Holland by
storms. 1t is a somewhat strange fact
that storks have refused to breed In
the British isles except In Kew gar
dens. There a pair started housekeep-
Ing in the year Of King Edwards
coronation, and clearly copied the de-
sign for their grotesque nest between
the two elm trees from a Coronation
bonfire. They met with multitude
of misfortunes. One year a storklet
fell from the nest and broke it's neck +;
in another year nesting was slain
BY barnacle goose. A eliminating
disaster was the drowning Of an en-
tire family by a thunderstorm. When
the "storks' mound" becomes a con-
gested district. superfuous storklets
are exported to populate other dis
tricts.

North Pole Receives
Full Share of Heat

The North pole, it is said. receives
more heat than the equator. OF
course, each hour of sunlight brings
more heat to the equator, but the
hours Of sunlight each day increase
in number the farther one goes north.
Therefore, while the sun is shining
the arctic receives more hours Of sun
light a day than does the equator and
altogether 1t gets more heat, says the
Detroit News
As one goes north the length Of
day increases more rapidly than the
amount Of heat per hour decreases.
Consequently, although the heat per
hour received at Winnipeg. Canada,
is less than at New Orleans, the
amount of heat received per day is
greater. That is one reason why In
July Winnipeg is frequently hotter
than New Orleans. For about five
weeks every summer more heat per
day Is received from the sun on a
square mile In the arctic than at the
equator. However. the winters at the
North pole would be as hot as the
equator. However, the winters at the
pole are long and a great deal Of
cold Is stored up in the Ice mass. This
neutralizes the downpour Of heat from
the summer sun.
