recently emerged, then it is time to
try some new method, or TO revert to
the old.
Strikes seldom do anyone much
good. A strike is a m;lder form of a
mob; and, God knows, that if there
is anything in this old world that Ne
groes should be 'gunshy" Of, it is the
mob and the psychology Of the mob
the laying down Of precepts, and the
organized wave of exhaust from
thoughtless minds.
Students and strikes are completely
inharmonious; and if we would pre-
serve the education of our boys and
girls, we must take steps to free them
and us from the strike menace. II
the cause is the new type Of youthful
mental freedom, then let's put some
ballast upon it, lest, like the pig in the
parlor, it takes possession for itself
and puts US adults out in the cold.

3,6S0,536 in 1910 to 4.043,763 in
1920, the number gainfully employed
shrunk from 2,013,oS1. or 54.7 per cent,
in 1910, to l,571,28o, or 3S.o per cent,
in 1920, or a numerical and percentage
loss among the sisters Of 1852 and
1873 per cent, respectively. In other
words, while native whites OF native
parentage and native whites of foreign
or mixed parentage increased from III
to 17.2 and from 24.6 to FAB per cent
respectively, our female group and the
Indian Chinese Japanese groups
dropped from 547 to 500 and from
no to 1877 per cent, respectively.
There is but one answer to the scien-
tifc study in figures and percentages
made in this analysis of the u. S. Cen
sus figures, and that is that in the
female industrial competition now GO
ing on the whites are gaining laps on
the blacks, the reds, the yeliows, and
the browns. Worst of all is the revela-
ton that nearly every group, whether
native or foreign born, seems to have
the industrial call over the American
Negro woman; and. somebody is a
party to the crime Of holding colored
women at the post of the industrial
race, while all other groups are gal
looping to glory upon the back Of a
blind competition.
Of course no one is particularly
happy that the hand which should be
rocking the cradle is turning over
mill and factory wheels; but if il
must be so, then American colered
women must not permit themselves tc
be crowded out of the race. It's ur
to a whole lot of somebodies to gen
crate enough patriotism and Made
in-America" spirit to see that the next
decade witnesses, at least, the indus
trial parity of the colored sisters who
when steam shovels and harvest reap
ers were unheard Of, were bearing the
burden of Americas heaviest industrial
tasks-and for wage that would have

l. The Ballot Box.

1t IS said that Uncle Sans search
light is being turned on the ballot box
of the Birmingham, Ala, district,
which heretofore has been as far out
of the reach of the brother as the tail
Of Halley's comet. On Monday, two
colored women, while attempting to
qualify for the ballot box, were openly
charged with disorderly conduct, ar
rested, and placed in jail This start
ling, but not unusual procedure, was
followed in Alabam' with the ''sirene"
disclosure that Uncle Sans men from
the Department Of Justice had been on
the job some time making an inquiry
into Alabama methods of registering
voters. OF course Alabama does not
differ from its sister states in perni-
cious instrumentalities Of evasion, I'M
der which the brother is carefully "per-
suaded" not to vote.
After even giving Prejudice a 100
per cent rating, SO far as potential
strength is concerned, it is difficult to
see why the South does not want the
brother to be on speaking terms with
the ballot box. When the eyes Of
southern white leaders and statesmen
fill with tears and choking voice pro-

Whence Cocou Comes

The cocoa plant is now grown in many
districts Of the tropical belt, and Its
consumption. in one form or another,
has increased all over the world II
il an evergreen, and is equal in size
to a well-grown apple tree. The pods.
about eight inches long, grow out Of
the trunk, and are red, yellow. black
and purple, according to the season.
There are twenty or thirty pale red
beans inside each pod, embedded in a
soft white pulp. Cocoa groves are
never planted solely with cocoa trees.
Although II grows best In hot coun-
tries, It is delicate, and has TO be pro-
tected from the sun, and for this pur-
pose forest trees are planted In the
groves. Some OF these grow to a great
height and have a tufted head like a
natural sunshade. These protecting
trees are called "Cacao Madse.' or
cocOa-mother.

WaterproofIng Paper

The most important thing In the
making OF waterproof paper is the
proper CHOICE Of the sheet. The
toughest papers are now made from
iute and also from wood, the kraft or
Sulphate pulping process being used
for the latter. The wood or other raw
material must be long fibered and
tough to start with. Waterproofing Is
accomplished by the use of sizing
agents, such as resin, water glass or
wakes and paraffin. One type Of wa
ter and grease proof paper Is made By
Immersing sheets Of paper made fresr
sUlphite pulp In strong sulphuric acid
solutions The action Of the acids
tends TO harden the fibers and render
them transparent as well as resistant
to moisture and grease. The strength,
however, Is not increased by this proc
ees.
