Howard University Official

National Race Congress went into
executive session this morning at
10 O'Clock at their headquarters,
Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Third

mittees on enrolment was the first
business of the session.

ty, made the welcoming address for
the Commissioners of the District
OF Columbia. w. F. Turner well
coined the congress in behalf of the
church, saying in part.
Let the negro eXemplify the
qualities Of Christian meekness,
forgiveness, and charity which en-.
dureth all things, believth all
things, hopeth all things. May it
not be that God has chosen the
negro race to embody the beati-
tudes of the Kingdo moi Heaven?
Thong hall men should forsake
these Christian virtues, yet should
not we,' he concluded.
William L. Houston, member of
the Board of Education, welcomed
the congress for the fraternal
organizations, while the Rev. E. D.
w. Jones spoke for the citizens at
large, the Rev. c. T. Welchers,
Newark, N. j.. responding.
Farming Is Urged.
In his annual address TO the con-
gress at the 2:30 o'clock session
this afternoon, DIR. Jernagin said
in part:
There has been an alarming ex.
odus fro mthe farm. The negro has
joined in to swell the tide that
moves cityward. Wholesale advice
Is useless. But, in the main, the
negro should remain on the farm
and root himself in the soil. He
has much larger relative place
there than in the city. The last
census shows that the negroes own
27,828 800 acres of land, VALIDATED
at $2,257, 645,325. In agriculture the
negro fills the one significant, in.
dispensable place which the race
occupies in the industrial and Geo.
nomic life Of the nation. He should
take hold of agriculture values
where the white man leaves off.
In the last analysis the destiny of
the nation will rest with those who
own and till the soil"
Continuing his address to the
delegates, which come from nearly
every State in the union, Dr.. Jern.
agin said, in speaking Of the politi-
cal situation of today:
I'VE can no longer hope for sal!
walton through political action. A
political party is but tool to &C.
complish social aims. Political SOL
idarity is advisable only as it may
be necessary to promote definite
race advantage or to thwart threat

members Of the race north and
south to make the best possible
arrangements it can effect with
local and national political agencies
regardless of party name or tradi-
ton. Every negro in the North or

ARCTIC .MUSHER
ALWAYS IN
DANGER
Subzero Winds Like Flame.
Eyes and Lungs Must
Be Protected.

NENANA, Alaska, April SO.-The
''musher" in the Arctic Circle, where
winter prevails about eight months
out of the year, must never relax
his vigilance if he would survive
the perils peculiar to the region.
To the explorer, prospector, scien-
fist, trapper, or hauler of mail and
supplies who must go north of the
Yukon River basin, one of the great
est winter hazards is the lack Of
timber for firewood. In some local.
ties the only timber is aspen, COM
monty called poplar, scrub spruce,
and stunted brush. When a man
faces so degrees below zero in
sleeping bag and canvas tent he
requires big log fire-and abundant
fuel to keep it going. When the
Arctic blizzard sweeps down, man
and beast are compelled to seek
shelter.
Lungs in Danger.
In the bitterest cold few lungs
can withstand the "scorching" at
mosphere that appears to scar them
like a flame while the blood is
turning to ice. Frozen" lungs are
not uncommon, but there are GER
tain precautions that minimize the
danger.
The equipment includes three
pairs of heavy Noolen socks on
each foot; underwear and shirt of
wool, but Of medium weight; nit
tens augmented by buckskin slip.
overs and a drill parka, it's hood
faced with wolverine fur, which
does not gather frost and freeze
where the breath strikes it. The
muskrat or beaver cap has flaps
to pull down over the ears and
under the chin. The shoes fire..
quently are moose mock mukluks.
AT no time must any portion of
the flesh save the eyes be exposed
70 the frost, and even the eyes
must be protected when facing a
blizzard. Travellers usually augment
this light" equipment with a com
plete suit Of reindeer furs.
Submission to the cold Of the
Arctic has different effect than
might be imagined. Instead of a
shivering and a gradual agonizine
process of freezing, the frost over
comes one suddenly and almost
painlessly.
Wind Like BIOwpipe.
A danger is found in becoming
oVerheated and then tarrying to cool
off. Even when the temperature
Is SO below, ones body perspires
Il all orifices of the clothing are
closed. If there are any holes in
the equipment the cold penetrates
u1ke the flame from a blowpipe
boring in rather than spreading.
One may have a spot the size of a
dime frozen on a finger where
there is hole in glove or mitten,
and the rest Of the hand then be-
comes numb. In stopping for rest
the uninitiated often tarry too long,
and on arising wonder why the
limbs refuse to function with their
wonted suppleness. After several
such halts further progress becomes
q struggle and unless a fire is
available Immediately the chances of
freezing are great.

EWELRY STORE ENTERED
AND ROBBED OF $1,000

Ripping the lock from the rear
door Of the jewelry store owned by
p. X. Richter, 1922 Ninth street
northwest, early today, burglars
gained entry and robbed the place
of $4,000 worth of jewelry.: No
clues were left.
When Richter arrived at the
store this morning the windows
had been stripped, he said. Show
cases in the store were disarranged
and much of the valuables had
disappeared.
A few days ago, Richter informed
the police, a man came into the
store and bought a cheap ring. He
acted as IL he were making a close
survey of the establishment. 1t was
