CAN AN AUTOMOBILE BE
MADE THIEF PROOF
BY ERWIN GREER
president Greer College OF
..n..,nrsrn Enn-inHerinEl

The automobile thief is doing ,
big business of late, and the po7'0
records show a large increase or"
that of last year. How then, ci:"
the car manufacturer bring OILY
more or less standardized an
thief contrivance that will re
prevent q car from being stoIr'
and what Will be the characteris
Of this perfect lock?
The motorist Of today needs b.
a consrivance that can be locked
unlocked from the car seat by
driver. or else something that
automatically remind the driT
its existence before he stars
engine again.
Something which merely pre-
the engine from being start
the ordinary way is of abs
no use. For example, if tn
starter is disconnected by th-
owner. there would be nothing
stop two or three men from star
the engine by pushing the car ":
the gears in mesh. Why not give
the thief constructive rather than
destructive work? Let him DIllu
I'D instead of tearing down. De
struction is much more simple than
construction, and it can be done
with most any tool Any prisoner,
given time and saw, can eventu-
ally break Jail, therefore, If the de-
vice will break a connection or
some sort, perhaps something that
would temporarily prevent the en-
CINE transmitting power to the dit
ferentiaI, it would be more liEei,
to confuse the thief than mere
locking device, which could easily
be destroyed, and allow the car to
be driven away.
II isn't the fact Of getting the
better of a thief with only a Few
minutes time in which to work out
his getaway. It's got to be some
thing that will puzzle the skilled
mechanical thief, who has longer
time in which to accomplish his
work.
The majority of old time motor
lists suggestions seem to tur2 to-
wards some device which will lock
the gear in neutral, and by the way,
there are already numerous devices
Of this kind in existence, many or
them onArated with a Yale key.

A MIRACLE happened
in Washington recently.
Something that most Of
us have said could not
happen. But it did hap
pen. A group Of Negro
women were there to at
tend the sessions of the
Internal ional Council of
Women. Women were
there from all over the
civilized world as we'll
as from the United
States. United States
women were IN the ma
jority. They were run
ming the affair. The
foreign women were
guests. Our own white
women had charge Of
all arrangements as to
program, halls, recep-
tions, and all the rest Of
it, including the seating
arrangements.
a~'
A group of Negro mu-
sicians-our very best
! had been invited to give
the program on a certain
night. They were there
all ready to sing. They
discovered that Negroes,
their own people mind
you, had been segregat-
ed. That is, the white
women who run and
manage the Information
al Council of Women in
this country had permit.

this country. All of
the Negro audience was
all to itself alone
This program had been
arranged to show for
efgn ladies just what
America has contributed
to music. Evidently some
Cne-in charge-decided
that this was not enough
to show the foreign Ia
! dies. They must be
. shown thai democracy
in these United States
is confined &c whites
! only. They must be
shown also just what
the land of the free and
the home Of the brave
has contributed to the
god of hate, prejudice
and bunk
But the miracle hap
pened. These Negro sing
ers and musicians walk
ed out. There was no
program as far as they
were concerned. This
little group, by their &C.
tions, said to the United
States and to the rest of
the world, that at last
the American Negro is
beginning to show the
germs of mass or group
action. This is the con.
summation that white
America has striven a.
gainst with might, main
and fiattery. All the

think up and devise has
been whispered to Negro
leaders to get them to
ward off just such an
occurrence as this in
Washington.
Some Negroes will say
that these Negroes miss
ed an opportunity to
show the whites just
what we can do. This is
tommy-rot. The whites
in this country know
better than we, Just
what the Negro can do.
The outstanding gain
to us from this affair is,
that this group of Ne.
groes denied themselves
the pleasure Of applause,
congratulation and that
good feeling that comes
to all of us when the
world bows at our feet.
1t is this budding con-
seriousness Of kind, this
young racial solidarity
that should make us
stop and think before
we say that these Ne
groes did not do the
wise and polite thing.
1 hope that more Ne.
groes will decide to take
the same attitude when
the same situation con-
fronts them at some fu'
,ture date.

Beautiful Hair
Now Within
CLEOPATRA
THE WONDER OF THE PRESENT
AGE


For years it has been the desire of
the better class of colored people to
have beautiful hair and with this end
in view have tried all kinds Of Hot
Comb preparations, and while their
hair became straight, it was stiff and
unsightly.
Now, with Cleopatra you use no
hot combs and your hair becomes
long, soft and silky. with just enough
wave to- be beautiful.
After using Cleopatra for a short
while you can dress your hair in
any style most becoming.
Cleopatra does exactly as we say.
Cleopatra is not an experiment, but
IS the result of long and careful
scientific study of the hair and scalp
of co.ored people.
