NEGRO FOLKLORE
 OF WHITE ORIGIN
SuperStitions Did Not Originate
 in Africa

Cleveland, Nov 12. RIThe greater mass of the southern ne- gro's superstition and folk-thought are attributed to the white man and not to Africa, says Dr. N. N. Puckett, professor of sociology at Western Reserve University.
 Only the picturesque voodoo be- iiefs and a few general folk-tales are African in source, he declared in a book written after 21 years spent in Mississippi.
 toodooiSm Vanishing
 White and black. the fear-inspir- il-o 'Voodoo-man' still practices his strange tuasi-religious 'healing' rites in the Southland" writes Dr. Puckett. but Voodooism as a cult, termed by many as devil worship, is thing of the past In America.
 Negro race pride is forcing many more or less illiterate negroes to give up. or at least to subdue and refuse to pass on, @le old beliefs for fear of ridicule from the more developed members of their race.
 Race Pride Helping
 Line by line, increasing know ledge and pride of race are forever crasing these records of folk thought"
 Dr. Puckett made a special study of Foodooism and for some time be- came Voodoo doctor in New Or leans as one means of obtaining data for his book. Research was made into ali published sources of African and American negro lore.

 ARMISTICE DAY BANQUET GUESTS

Jackson. He stated that there are 26,O00 service men in government hospitals today suffering from in- juries or disabilities cultured in the war.
 He cited the objects of the Amer ican Legion and explained that it was organized for the purpose of giving service towards the better ment of humanity and communities. He told of the 3,600 boys baseball teams sponsored by the Legion throughout the country and the ef- forts of the organization to incul- cate the principle of a square deal into the minds of the boys. New Britain. he said, produced the cham pion team in the state. He referred to Armdstice Day as "The Indepsa- dence Day of the World" \
 Towne Praises New Britain.
 According to National Vico Con- mander John G. Towne. he never saw such whole hearted cooperation between a community and Legion post as is manifested in New Brit ain. He said he appreciated and ac- cepted as personal compliment the presence of the veterans of the Civil War. and was pleased with the re- ports of the activities of Eddy-Glover Post. He said the American Legion is the largest patriotic organization in the world, having millions of members with branches in every state in the United States and in seven foreign countries.
 Tt would be pity to conceive what would have happen those 26,- i 900 for whom the war is not yet over. had 1t not been for the organ- ! ization," he said. He objected to the term lex -servicemen" and said there are no ex-servicemen in the Ameri- can Legion. They are still service men, in service for God and coun- i try. "The two words I thoroughly detest are x-servicemen and bonus, , he added.
 l He dwelt at some length on the apathy of the voter and advised the Legionnaires 10 help get out the vote on election day, saying: Never
 mind how they vote. get them out to vote Forty-eight per cent Of he
 people of his country don't give 8
 tinker's dam who is president of the
 United States. The American Legion
 made an error in it's constitution
 when it became on-political. Il
 should be non-partisan but not non'
 political" He referred to the endow-
 ment fund as the most businessllke
 proposition ever. promulgated in the history of the country. He explained
 how this fund keeps widows and or phans together In their own home: in the same way the father would
 have done, and added that the av.
 craze orphan asylum is the mos
 cruel institution in America.

Now in time of peace, 1t really should not be different. New Britain is q splendid community, as fine as any in the United States. All of us in our hearts are proud of our city, that should stand out, whenever 1t is possible, do not hesitate to speak favorable about it, and whenever you can do what you can for Your city. You will be aiding the com- munity in which you live. It is the spirit of service that counts. Let us serve and adhere to that principal"
 The Fidac, an international or gani2ation of veterans striving to avoid future wars, was explained by State Adjutant T.. L. White. He said the movement of the organization, which recently held a convention in Warsaw, Poland. and whose purpose is to promote peace and good will on earth, is based on a just and req sonable understanding and intelli- gent patriotism.
 Ex-Cong. Lonergan Speaks
 The big job ahead of the Ameri- can Legion is to "AmericaniZe Americans" according to ex-Con- | gressman Augustine Lonergan of i Hartford He said the underlying principle of the World War was the 1 thought that the divine right of kings that might makes right, as opposed to the spirit of democracy | that right makes might.
 | Our boys wrote indelibly on the battlefield Of France with their own l blood democracy's guarantee to the wordl of every mans right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness,". he said.
 He spoke on the question Of states rights and said Thomas Jef- ferson, "who was one of the coun- try's greatest statesmen, believed that the people are best governed who are least governed
 He quoted statistics to show that slightly more than half the voters exercise their rights to vote and added: You can engage in no bet | ter NOrh tlldu lO alieElCdlllAe ile Americans"
 "-t is the duty of every person to take an interest in government af- fairs and unless they do so we will soon have a government of the minority. In this country in the last 25 years the rights of states have been taken from us and are being taken from us. We ought not to stand for patornalism from the gov- ernment We are coming to the point where a noisy minority can tell the people what to eat and drink and when and how. There should be no amendment until it is first submitted to the voters to eX- press themselves upon it.
 If you want to make good on the things fV which you have organized take an interest in government af- fairs and stimulate your friends to take an interest,"
 Entertainment was furnished by the Serenaders.

 Day in 1918.

 Address By Mayor Weld.
 New Britain's contribution to the World war was told by Mayor Gard ner c. Weld. as follows:
 Tonight we are gathered here, not only as representative members, and as eX-service men of this city. but as happy citizens observing the celebration of Armistice Day.
 This occasion has been called a civic banquet, and perhaps no more appropriate name could have been selected. It is we'll and fitting that periodically We should all of us in all walks and in every business and profession sit down together around the table or in the meeting hall and view in retrospect what has happen ed before us and what tasks lie ahead of us.
 Tt is not so long ago, that the whistles shrieked from the factor les, not only here but everywhere. and the bells rang out from the 1 church steeples as America rejoiced that the armistice had been signed and the war was over. Then when the count was taken. New Britain found that many of the boys who had donned the uniform for Uncle Sam had gone to eternal rest in line of duty. but. fortunately most of them came back to resume their duties in civilian life. becoming better citizens as result of their military training.
 That training brought to the mer in uniform an esprit de corps that was of the highest order and incul- cated in them the spirit 'of service It has remained permanently with them, and today the American Le. zion. banding together so many ot those veterans. stands out conspicu. ously as an organization not only willing and ready. hut rendering in. valuable service wherever possible
 Tt seems 10 me that the example set by the eX-service men is ono that should readily be followed by civic organizations and the com. munity at large. Lofty communit, pride is precious assest to city and here in New Britain, there i! much we can do to boost our city Tn the war we earned the distinc tion of being the second city in th' country to send the largest contin gent of men to arms, in proportion to population, everyone put shei' shoulders to the wheel, and bough Liberty Bonds.
