Catalogue Tells of
Many Plant Diseases

The song writer who pictured the
rose In q care-free life under cloud
less skies and its freedom from
work while It kisses the passing
breeze evidently was unfamiliar with
the existence of plant diseases. There
is many worry" in the "llfe of a
rose" from the time the tiny seed ger
inmates In the warm, moist earth until
the opening Of the bud under the
sunny sky, according to the patholo-
glsts of the United States Department
of Agriculture. Thlrty-nlne different
worries" Of the rose have been listed
by these Psychologists in catalogue
of the diseases which affect economic
and ornamental plants In the United
States.
To one unfamiliar with the extent of
disease among plants the 100-page cat
alogue in which the specific troubles of
every important plant are listed would
seem to indicate that no plants life
Is bed of roses-they all have their
troubles and many Of them. The wheat
crop Is afflicted with 81 different dis
eases, the corn plant with 81, the to-
mato with AZ. The oak tree fights its
way against 81 diseases, and we have
apples In spite of 60 possible mala-

Good Effect Gained
by Proper Pictures

Pictures serve an admirable pur-
pose In the decoration and furnishing
of the small home.
BY the very nature OF their lOca.
tlon on the wall they occupy none OF
the floor space that is SO valuable In
the small dwelling, II the little room
has been rather crowded with furnl
ture, pictures on the wall carry the
eye upward and bring the attention
from the lower part OF the room to
the upper, where there is greater
appearance of space.
Then, too, the subjects OF the pic.
lures may be chosen with view 10
increasing the apparent size OF the
room, Pictures with a rather deep
perspective give the eye a feeling of
looking into the scene, down a CORR.
dor, into a valley, along river, or
otherwise creating an appearance OF
distance.
To do this removes much OF the
cramped feeling that invades small
room overcrowded with furniture.
The choice OF color In pictures also
will have much to do with the deco
ratlve scheme Of the room, and the
same effect OF spaciousness can be
created with the Judicious use of mir
rOrs.

LatU's Protection for
Writers and Artists

The United States law of copyright
is founded on a provision In the Con
stitutlon, as is well known. There is
mention in Roman literature of the
sale of playrights by the dramatic
authors, and Rome had booksellers
who sold copies Of poems written by
slaves. and who seem to hive been
protected by some kind OF courtesy
of the trade" since Martial names
certain booksellers who had specific
poems of his for sale. Cicero In his
letters indicates that there was some
notion of literary property, and 1t
Is probable that some kind of pay
ment was made to authors. The Ro-
man jurist, GaIus, probably of the
Second century, held that where an
artist had painted upon tabula,
HIS was the superior right. And this
opinion was adopted by Tribonlan,
chief editor of the code of Justinian,
In the Sixth century, and was applied
in modern question In respect to
John Lecch's drawings upon wood.
The first record Of a copyright case
is that of Flnnian vs. Columbia in 567,
chr0nlcled by Adamnun fifty years
later and cited by Montalembert In
"The Monks of the West"

Weak Mill on Sabbath

English milk users find that the milk
they get on Sunday IL not as rich as
the milk delivered on other days.
An Investigation was conducted by
health authorities and It was found
that adulteration occurs more fire.
quently on Sunday than on any other
day.
The investigators were led to be-
lleve that the sale Of milk must be
greater on this day than on any other
day of the week and dairymen are
tempted to Increase the supply by
adding water.
The moral to this may be: Don't
drink milk on Sunday or adulterate
the milk on week days 80 you'll not
notice the low quality Of Sunday milk.

FROGS TO GIVE HARLEM
LITTLE THEATER IN FALL

Americas first little community
theater owned and managed by Ne
groes will be opened this fall in the
heart of Harlem's large colored pop
ulation. The building at 46 West
135th street, a stones throw from
Lenox avenue, has been bought by
The Frogs, Inc, and will be con-
verted into a 299-seat playhouse,
equipped with stage, scenery, dress
ing rooms and modern lighting eff
fects.
The Frogs were organized some
years ago by Negroes prominently
identified with the theatrical profess
sion. Among the incorporators were
Bert A. Williams, Bob Cole, George
w. Walker and James Reese Europe.
One of the aims is to encourage dra-
matte art among Negroes by provid-
ing an outlet for plays written by
talented members of the race.
The projecT will be primarily in
the interest of dramatic art and not
in any sense a commercial venture.
The cooperation of the entire COM
munity will be sought.

ORGANIZER GIVES
PLANS OF B.S.C.P.
Statistics on Condition of Pull
man POrters to Be Presented
to Cancellation Board.

Pointing out that the Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car Porters had become
so strong that the half-veiled opposi-
tiOn of the Pullman company had
been withdrawn, A. Phillip Randolph,
general organizer of the B. S. c. p.
concluded weeks series of meet
ings at a. final mass meeting at the
Unitarian church, Minneapolis, last
Sunday afternoon.
The immediate program of the Or
ganization is the securing of liv-
ing wage for porters and maids, Mr..
Randolph said.
In outlining the plans and activi-
ties of the organization, Mr.. Ran
dolph stated that the only opposition
which had been met with from the
workers themselves came from a
group of conservatives who refused
to see the value of organization. The
figures compiled by statistical eX-
perts on the condition of the Pullman
porter in regard to hours and wages
will be submitted to the United
States Cancellation Board very soon,
Mr.. Randolph said.
Frank Boyd of the st. Paul local
outlined the background of the move
ment. S. A. Stockwell, candidate for
the state legislature, gave short
speech; and Paul L. Caldwell, secre-
tary of the local union, acted as mas
ter of ceremonies. Two musical num-
bers concluded the program.
