A NEGRO METROPOLIS

Harlem of New York City contains
more negroes to the square mile than
any other spot on earth. This realiza-
ton has come with surprise to the
statisticians and to the strangers Wis
iting this section of New York. The
peculiar thing about this negro center
is that it is not in any sense quarter,
slun, ghetto, resort, or colony. Just
suddenly when crossing 153rd street
on Seventh Avenue, without any
change in the character of the build
ings or streets one comes suddenly to
the transformation of a black popula-
ton which continues for twenty-five
blocks and then suddenly changes
again to, white. There is nothing just
like this in any other city, for there
is no preparation for change, which
is only shown in the color of the peo-
pie and that so suddenly. 1t is beau
tiful and healthful section of New
York, with splendid buildings, church
es, shops and theatres, apartments and
homes. The next distinctive feature is
that it presents the first concentration
in history of so many diverse elements
of negro life, African, West Indies,
the northern and southern negroes rep
resenting every social status has come
together in one community. 1t prom
Uses to be race capital.

POTATO PLANTS
SHIPPED BY CAR LOADS

ATLANTA, Ga, April 3O-Baxley,
Ga, is gaining national fame as head
quarters for potato slips two million
and a half of these slips having just
been shipped. The plants were destine
for every yam growing state.
The shipment according to officials
of the A. B. & A. railroad consisted OF
90 packages or several car load lots,
and they were sent either by parcel
post or express. The movement from
Bailey will continue for 90 DAYS and
the record made in 1923 with an out
put of 70O0O,000 seems likely to be
broken the first month.
The Loyal Daughters S. 5. Glass
of the Christian Church are having
bake sale Saturday. Cakes, pies and
bread will be offered for sale.

MORE THOUGHT OF MUSIC

The purpose of national muse week
is explained in the slogan:
Give more thought to music" Ma
tional music is radio in which every
one becomes either sending or re-
ceiving station or both. Music will be
in the air for one whole week, bring
ing to the public the reminder that
good music is thing that can be I'M
iversally understood, enjoyed and shar
ed The late President Harding said:
II am friend of every effort to give
music its rightful place in our national
life. Governor Clifford Walker has is
sued proclamation calling upon the
people of Georgia to observe national
music week"
Music does not hold its rightful place
in our national life but music week
will get people to thinking about mu-
sic, talking about music, and to max
ing music.

HAMMERS-A hammer is a most useful and ne
cessary tool in the hands of a carpenter or anyone
who has a legitimate use for it. w it'll it you may
drive nail or bruise finger. When one needs
hammer he needs it badly. 1t is really house
hold necessity To bring to the hammer is term
used when one is compelled to sell at auction his
personal property. The carpenter then and the
auctoneer as well use the hammer. The miner us
es the hammer to drive his drill The circus man
uses it to guide his chsel There is the riveting
hammer the tack hammer blocking hammer, the
brick-layers hammer, steam hammer, trip hamm-
er. Hammers OF stone are still found in the relics
There is the piano hammer, the blacksmith's ham
1ncr, and the forgcr's hammer There more
kinds of hammers than anything else in the world
In mythology there is Thor's hammer by the
throwing of which thunder and lightning was
cased Everyone OF these hammers, the
NEUROLOGICAL one, has some good and legitimate
purpose but there is just one hammer in the world
that is the opposite of all these others, and that IS
the hammer which the professional knocker Yields
with such malicious and fatal results. That is one
hammer which should forever be cast out from the
line of ancestral hammers of fame and dignity. II
YOU are toting a hammer like this throw it away.
Bury it so deep that you will have to go around on
the other side of the globe to resurrcct 1t. 1h1s
kind OF hammer should never be used The man
who wckedly and wantonly yields the knocker IS
hammer should be forever silenced with well d1-
rected blow on the head with sledge hammer.

FARM BIRTHRATE H1GHEsT-The power o

FARM BIRTHRATE HIGHEST-The power Of
a nation is indicated by its birth rate. The nation
with sound birth rate is always the stronger ma
ton Correspondingly sectional strength in nation
is subject to the same law. These facts are unas-
saiIable The Institute of Social and Religious
service shows clearly where the strength OF Amer
Ia lies In its census analysis just published, this
organization tells us that the birth rate in the
farming areas of the United States is 81 pen cent
greater than in the cities and "a per cent greater
than in the villages--that is communities from 80
to $500 population
Other interesting acts disclosed. For instance
the average number of children to each 100 mar
lied women between the ages OF fifteen and forty
tive years is 128 in the cities, l57 in the villages
and l05 in the farming areas
We also learn that there 100 men to every lOO
women on the farms, while the villages have only
95 men to 100 women.
Villages have disproportionate large number
of old people as compared with the cities 2/4 per
cent are forty-five years old or have passed the
milestone The cities show that only 20 per cent
of the women are forty-five or more.
The stability of America remains on the farms
and in the villages. SO too is the purchasing pow

ANOTHER REASON WHY THE NEGRO

SHOULD STAY IN DlXlE-CofnneutihS oii
the increasing death rate among negroes III inc
North the Savannah Press says; Inc negro
rate in American cities is appalling. This is es-
peciallv true int he North where there has been
a large migration of Southern negroes, living most
in poor. crowded unsanitary quarters and not YET
acclimated. In one large Northern city, where the
mortality rate among native whites last year was
10 per thousand, among negroes 1t was ~ per
thousand. nearly four times as great. This inior-
nation is from a Northern paper, not from south
ern journal 1t is printed in the Reading, Pa, 1rlb-
une which says that at this rate the negroes IN
America will die off in few generations. 1t IS
more than twice the death rate of our white pop
rlation. 1t would seem that the blacks OF the
South have not materially improved their position
by moving northward" Albany Herald.

FOR THE SUMMER MONTHS-Wha

do with the children during the summer months
This may be serious problem in the cities, but
there is not much danger that children in the coun-
try will get into mischief on account of ldleness.
There is plenty of work to do there and it need
not be hard work Near to nature it is health

MORE NATIONAL FOPESTS

An executive order rec 'gred
by President Coolidge establishes eight
more national forests on military res
ervations there having been the three
already established at Fort Benning,
Camp Mcclellan and Fort Jackson.
It is found that privately owned for
ests will never be conserved and re-
planted to the scientific limit of re-
forestation and only government for
ests can be depended upon for future
generations. At best the prospects for
their wood supply are very meagre,
with our present rate of destruction.

Uglinsss an Expensive
Luxury for Any Tour,

There IL q common belief that GER
tain forms Of ugliness have CONNER
cial value. The existence of cheap
buildings, gaudy signs and shoddiness
in general about city Is due as
much to the idea of economy or profit
as to bad taste.
But ugliness Is a drag on any city.
on the Individual as well as the com
munity. II thrusts itself into the
daily life of the inhabitants; 1t In
trudes upon the visitor and leaves
no opportunity for pleasant impress
sions. One ugly spot OF unsightly OBJ
ject 'may block the effectiveness Of
beauty In dozen places nearby.
Many cities are realizing that ugli-
ness Is expensive and wasteful, nc.
cording to Andrew Wright Crawford,
a member Of the art jury Of Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Crawford declares that
Philadelphia and several other cities
of the country are planning to replace
public buildings, the principal reason
being that the structures are ugly. He
declares that All art jury or commits
sion, composed Of individuals compel
ent to pass judgment on the artistic
features Of any public structure, may
save cities good sums Of money an
nually. In one year the Philadelphia
jury, for example, recommended
