Three Divisions
''Thcrr should be three principal
diviSionS---a division Of military
aviation, which should have, to do
with the creation and control of the
air force and recommendations look
ing to its Independent operations,
its equipment and its use in joint
operations with the army and navy.
GA government aircraft corpora
tion might be organized similar to
our inland water ways corporation,
to, operate between principal cities
aud centcrs of population and in
duStrv throughout the country. This
would determine what articles could
be transported at Il profit through
The air and what volume of business
could be expected.
THE organization Of depart
mcnt of the air would result in
making one man responsible for the
handling of aviation in all depart
ments with the special duties sub
divided under him in an appropriate
and definite manner.
AcronauticS no longer would be
an auxiliary of another existing
agency whose principal function is
something other than aeronauties.
Not Orphan Child
"To leave aeronautics as an or
phan or foster child, attached to
any Of the older agencies of the
government, is merely to Stranglc it
before it reaches man 5 estate.
Heretofore, the management Of avi-
alton by the army and navy has
been suicidal To its development. If
we now establish an acronautieal
service in the department OF com
morcc to handle civil aviation, the
chances are il will be run by poll
ties with no knowledge of air con
ditionS.
1T will result very much the
same rs happened in England when
civil aeronautics was assigned at
one time 10 the board of trade,
which corresponds to our depart
mcnt of commerce.

es. have reached a state in church life which
calls for more modern and intensive prepara-
ton OH TIL part OF ministers who would essay
TO be real religious leaders from the pulpit.
1t is an 'undeniable fact, saddcning perhaps
to the passing generation, that the "Hallelu-
iah" days are declining in church life. No
longer do mere stentorian tones and buoyatt
voice Of exhortation appease the religious
hunger of pewholders. They, in their advanc-
ING cry for religious saviorship, just as sim
cerev desire intelligent explanation of the
Bible and the life of Him who died that we
might live.
The youthful generation, amazingly trained
in reasoning processes and privileged to make
public observations and private research OF
religious facts contained in the great schools
and libraries. seldom visited by the preacher
who relies upon might rather than logic, Is
semi-critical as it listens to the pulplt-not
~critilal of Religion or of God, but of the OFT
given types of explanation given by ministers
who will not study-and in that vein drain
numbers from church life which otherwise
might there be useful and exemplary.
II church is Our bulwark, the nucleus OF
our every effort. Yet. no one has ever pro-
phesied that the way Of the church should be
roseate and undisturbed. 1t. follows that,
amid the maze Of present-day life, when CON-
mercialism, fanaticisrn, and a dozen other
delights of the semi-religious man are ever
present to divert his mind from the church
institution and its purposes. the ministry must
train more keenly to buffet the challenge
which the world is making to the Church.
IGNORANCE. the child of inadequate train
ING, in the pulpit has no more justifable place
in civilization than the ox-cart has as a means
CT human transportation.

fftv-seven or more contests for pr1ze-Wlnrl1lg

The country, bring us an occasional wave OF
sadness Notwithstanding the tribute, silent or

misunderstood we wish to say forthwith that
we never did adhere to the policf of Aesop's
Fable of the fox and the sour grapes. Yet,
it seems to us that a good bit of useful energy
is being burned up in the smoke OF beatty
contests to determine whether bobbed hair or
tresses, whether blondes or brunettes are most
to be desired. In other words, We htlrnbly
cpine that while beauty contests are O.. K,
it would be far more useful to society to de-
termine which lassie or dame could most skill
fully bake a yam or do a nice darnlng JOB on
her husbands, fathers, brothers. or sons
socks, thus thwarting indigestion or holding
down the family budget, as the case might be.
It is consoling to know that the town of
Podunk sent the beauty who won the finals at
Atlantic City, or Madison Square Garden; or
that the best looking foot on Fifth Avenue
came from Home, Sweet Home. But it
seems to us that breasts could surge with
greater pride were it to be announced that the
worlds best pan of biscuits came from there,
or that Susie Smith made a lace pattern which
had been adopted by the Partisan madistes.

AWAY WITH WAR.

+. Brittcn, cool historical logician that he
is, writes very disconsolately in The Sunday
Pictorial of London, England, depicting in
future years AN unparalleled war to the death
between the white and colored races" of the
world. Mr.. Britten writes in an excited vein,
saying: N"The shadow of a war cloud in the
East is falling darkly upon the hitherto sunny
World supremacy of the white race, whose
prestige will disappear when the savage, bar
barrie millions from Africa and Asia can DEFY
The white man.
Even more disconsolately, Mr.. Britten con-
tinues: "He, (the white NAM has committed
the browning folly of leading the colored
races into battle against white men, and the
colored races hate the white with a hate
whereof we have no conception.
Friend Britten has wandered far from the
pet theory of his race kins1nen, whose scien-
tiic satellites picture the darker races OF the
world, save the japanese, as an incident, half
civilized, but happy-go-lucky people, void OF
initiative and complacent even amid hardship
imposed by alleged superior groups. He also
wanders far from the psychological proofs, as
adduced by his group, of alleged inferior
mental equipose among the dark human spots
of the old globe. Lastly, Britten implicitly
casts espersions upon the civilization which
his people have carried to the dark wales OF
Asia and Africa. Methinks, perchance, that
FEAR may have guided his pen to portray a
retaliation. by the worlds darker races, for
grave acts of injustice which it is roundly
admitted the self-constituted "supremlsts
have heaped upon the Weaker races, usually
dark. of the world.
Yet. we think-and we are glad so to
rhink-that the calamities penned by friend
Britten will never come to pass. That CIVIL
:zation and that Christianization which the
darker races have inbibed from the white
mans teachings have not yet, thank God, be-
come sufficiently saturated with that master
Of the white world, COMMERCIAL SUI
PRENACY AND IT'S MONEY MARKET"
to form an eclipse of the true types OF ideal
istic life. While the white world is dslving
into finance, the dark world is plodding along
hopefully, delving into Religion, Art, Music,
Education and the refining products of honest
to-God civilization. The prospects of war are
not, in general, disturbing the mind of the
dark world. Rather, on the whole, away
with War" seems to be the hope of the dark
world content, which almost mutely wonders
why, in the name of Jehovah, the white world
forgets its financial market for only one thing
in this brief life-and that one thing is WAR
which, said General William Tecumseh Sher-
man, is He'll.

My remarks last week
were prompted by a Sc
ries of incidents in one
of the large universities.
!
1t seems that a young
man from Cleveland was
preparing to matricuiate
in this school. An Aunt
with whom he lived
called him in and told
him that. he was not
gong there as a Negro
but as an American cit.
izen. The young man
evidently interpreted
this to mean that he
should pass" for white.
Evidently he thought
that passing" was the
only way that he could
deport himself as an
American citizen.
This youth went to
school and became just
a freshman, one Of a.
bout two thousand. Al
ter having been there for
a couple of years he was
just a sophmore, one Of
a thousand. He went
into the junior class just
one of many. He did
nothing to get himself
elevated in The eyes OF
students or faculty.
When he graduated he
was simply a cOlored boy
coming out into the
world, ready to ask
Negroes to give him
their money in order
that he might live and
not starve.

The serious part of
this matter is that this
type of student has the
brass to graduate, hang
out a sign and ask real
Negroes to come in and
