Boston, Mass.-Rev. B. w. Swain,
vice-president-at-large of the National
Equal Rights League, speaking at the
Oath anniversary of the issuance of the
Emancipation Proclamation in the 18th
Baptist Church, declared dissatisfac-
ton with the Presidents response to
the Sesqui-Centennia1 Anti-Segregation
Petitioners, for he could not see the
segregation already removed" nor
any gradually" removed since any
wrong should be wiped out.
]. A. Hagan saw no relief from
Coolidge or Sen. Butler, now up for
reelection, but a sorry blow of Jim
Crow Beach Law, nor had Butler, af-
ter promising, ever instanced any
sPecihc interview he had with the
President on the segregation. Secre-
tary A. G. Wolff, presiding, called for
an end of political childishness.
Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson, seconding
all this, memorialized Rev M. "A. N.
Shaw, and VIM. Monroe Trotter. in

TO President Coolidge and Sen. Butler
which were adopted.
1t said in part: President Coolidge
hereby called upon to make now
tangible removal Of federal employee

four years ago to save the country
from disruption by the white south
who are the authors of this segregation
in recognition Of this saving by soldier

HAVE YOU EVER HAD BOILS7
By a Christmas Seal Doctor


If not. you may not know what to
do if you get one, and if you have had
boils, you may not know any more
about what to do or what not to do
than you did before.
1t is important to know what NOT
TO do, so l shall tell that first
Do NOT poultice boil, and do not
use hot congresses upon it,
Now come along with your protests
and your assurance that the pouItice
takes out the pain and makes the boil
come to head better and that you
have always used that method Of treat
ment with success. and that your
mother before you and your grand
mother before her always used poul-
tees and hot congresses! A whisper
in your ear! used them once my
self. but it didn't take very much
persuasion to make me stop when l
saw that heat softened the tissues and
opened up more avenues for the sta
phylococcus and his millions of
brothers. / am willing to get rid of
one boil without inviting hundred or
even two more! Heat is liable to soften
the tissues and spread the infection
and make a whole series of boils! 1t
doesn't always do so, but it does so
frequently enough to make the practice
inadvisable.
Antiseptics at the early stage of
boils are practically valueless. The
best treatment when you feel one COM
ing is to use ice. Put piece of ice in
a sterile piece Of gauze and freeze
the boil" If you do this when you
| first feel one coming on it may check
It. Drink large amounts Of water, and
take a cathartic.
If the little spot of agony" goes on
to full development see physician and
get it lanced early and properly
dressed. Do not try to lance it your
self and NEVER squeeze boil You
are liable to introduce other and more
dangerous germs into the tissue or
spread those you already have. There
is no sense in running the risk of blood
poisoning.
A little antiseptic ointment smeared
gently over the surrounding area may
prevent the infection Of the other hair
follicles in the neighborhood.
When one boil after another appears
the use Of ''bacterins" injected BY the
physician may be of help The best
bacterins are those from the material
taken from the patient himself. This
treatment is of no practical use for one
boil.

BULLETIN No. 76-FOR YOUR
SAFETY
By Chief Of Police Morgan A. Collins

By Chief of Police Morgan A. Collins
In moving into a new apartment, all
locks should be carefully inspected, all
keys accounted for, and best of all,
door locks should be changed, accord
ing to the weekly bulletin issued by
Chief of Police Morgan A. Collins,
yesterday, intended in this instance to
warn the army Of persons who will
move on October LIST.
The bulletin follows:
Front and rear doors should be
equipped with double bolts as profess
sional burglars experience little diff
Guilty in forcing back spring locks.
Change locks to avoid trouble. 1t is
the best investment you can provide
for your family's safety. This warn
ing is particularly applicable to large
apartment buildings.
Protect your windows with good
strong LOCKS. Cheap locks are worth
less as safeguard. If you can afford
it install electric alarms that will give
warning in case Of entry.
Fire escapes are frequently used by
burglars. They should never be &C
cessible from the ground or an adjoin-
ing building.
Securely fasten all windows and
doors when you 60 out. To conceal
keys under door mats or over door
castings is an invitation to rob your
home of everything movable.
Install chain locks or other safety
device on your front and back doors
to prevent entrance while conversing
with strangers. This precaution may
save your life.
Help us to protect you If you see
suspicious person lettering about
your premises call your nearest police
station, Police 1913. An ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure.

DoRSES DYER ANTI-LYNcH-
ING BILL
]. o. Jones Thanks N.A.A.C.P. for
Aid and Says Resolution win Be
Offered Legion's National Conven-
ron

New York-An important step is
announced by the National Association
for the Advancement Of Colored People,
90 Fifth Avenue. in the hfteen-year
fight to rouse the conscience Of the
nation against lynching and to have a
federal law against this crime enacted.
\ ]. o. Jones, member of the American
Legion in Ohio, writes to the MA.
C.P. that the Legion unanimously
passed a resolution endorsing the Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill at its state conven-
ton, and that the resolution will go
before the American Legion in its Ma
tional convention. Mr.. Jones writes as
follows to James Weldon Johnson,
Secretary Of the N.A.A.C.P.:
The information that I requested
from you some time ago, concerning
the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, was re-
ceived in due time, and am thanking
you gratefully for it.
The resolution referred to in this
letter, and a copy of which you will
find enclosed, passed the American
LEGION Convention Of Ohio without a
dissenting vote. The delegates were
authorized to present this to the Ma
tional Convention Of the Legion when
it convenes in Philadelphia on October
IL, 1926, for its adoption.
You will know that the first round
of that battle has already been won,
when I tell you that I was elected ma
tional delegate to this convention. l
am endeavoring, however, to be a
member of the Resolutions Commit
tee, in order that I may use my influ-
ence in having it presented at the con-
vention.
shall ask the assistance of the N.
A.A.C.P. in my endeavoring to have
this passed in Philadelphia next month.
The text of the Resolution adopted
by the American Legion Of Ohio in
State Convention is as follows:
Whereas, there is pending in Con-
gress Bill known as the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill, action on which has
been deferred for more than three
years, and whereas, all Of Ohio's Rep
resentatives to Congress voted for this
Bill when it passed the House in No
vember, 1922, and whereas, both OF
our Senators are urging its passage,
and whereas the American Legion
stands for those principles that secure
for all justice and liberty, be it re-
solved that this convention now in
session at Elyria, Ohio, heartily favor
its passage and request and urge that
Congress pass it or similar bill dur
ing its next session.
Be it further resolved that the dele
gates elected from this convention be
instructed to have a similar resolution
brought before that convention.

to Emerge Victor in SAT-

Shortridge was the only one Of
three local high school teams per-
forming on the hardwood Saturday
night to succeed in turning in a
victory. The Blue and White de-
feated Danville, S1-24, while Man
ual was being dropped by Bedford.
1920, and Tech was losing to New
castle, S1-35. All three were home
games for the local teams.
Good Passing Attack
Shortridge, led by Don Wood, Tom
Woods and Beaman was on the ag-
gressive from the opening whistle
and exhibited a pretty passing at
tack. The Danville team fought
hard and kept on the heels of the
local quintet throughout the first
half which ended, 1914.
Manual was unable to cope with
the whirlwind attack launched by
the powerful Bedford five, and, al
though putting up game fight,
was completely outclassed. The
Stone City netters passed over and
around the Red and White and
commanded a 17-10 lead at the ter
mination of the first half.
From All Angles
The downstaters opened up in the
final period and fired at the basket
from all angles. Miller and Cum
migs showed up best for the Bed
ford team, while Rubush and Bren-
neman were the outstandig Manual
performers.
The green,clad Tech netmen
dropped their second game in as
many nights to the Trojans in a
big Ten" conference game. The
Wakefield-coached outfit was drawn
out by the Newcastle lads, who
counted a number of under-the-bas-
ket shots. The visitors were lead
ing at the half. 1872, and sue
ceeded in holding on to a good
margin the remainder of the con
test.

A. L. Trester, State Basket
Chief, Promises Definite
Details Saturday.

A. l.. Trester, permanent secre-
tary Of the Indiana State High
School Athletic Association, today
refused to verify as official from
his Anderson Office the rumor that
the next State basketball cham
pionship final tournament at the
Exposition Bldg, Indiana State
Playground, will be a reserved seat
affair. He also refused to say the
sixteen regional tournament idea
was definite decision of the board
of control.
1t was reported in Indianapolis
late Saturday that Trester, in a
meeting with the representatives Of
the four Indianapolis high schools
concerning details of staging the
State finals next March, told them
1t was the wish of the board that
the entire 10000 or more seats at
the tournament be reserved.
Trester said this subject had been
discussed by the board but no de-
cision for publication had been re-
leased. He said the board members
meet next Saturday at the Claypool
Hotel, and a decision might be made
then. He spoke likewise regarding
the regional idea.
At the present time more than
500 teams of the State play in sixty
four sectional tournaments, and the
winners divided into eight regionals
Of eight teams each. Two surviving
teams from each regional come to
the State finals here.
Under the new plan, II adopted,
with eight additional regionals, only
four teams will play in each, but
will name a final winner. Sixteen
winners will come to the finals, as
in the past.
