Smart, indeed, and ideal for summer
wear is the twO-piece dress which
styles its skirt and sleeveless jacket
of checked taffeta, the blouse being
either of washable white crepe or
sheer white cotton wolfe. If this lin
gerie blouse displays a jabot, also
a generous amount Of fagoting or
hand-drawn hemstitching, so much
the better from a fashion standpoint.
Designers are doing some amusing
things with the new gingham-silks by
combining plaidS or checks Of one col
oring with those of another A black
and-white check bOrdered with a red
and-white check is stunning. The
same may be said of polka dots,
which, by the way, are in smart FASH
ion again. For instance, a large navy
and-white polka dot is trimmed with
tiny-dotted tan and white. There liz
no end to the novelty which can be
achieved by following out this line Of
thought.

the overskirt effect which appears in

are matched

Prominent among these are yellow

PROLONGING LIFE
BY Herman N, Bundesen, M. d.,
Commissioner

All that lives must die" sighed the
weeping poet, and many have echoed
that sentiment. The desire to live is
one OF the strongest instincts Of all
living things, and whoever can show
the way to prolong life will be hailed
as one Of the greatest benefactors Of
mankind, says DR.. Herman N. Bundle
sen, health commissioner of Chicago.
Living is process Of wear and tear
on the body mechanism. Suppose you
had clock so perfectly built that with
proper care it could keep good time for
"a hundred years. Without proper
cleaning and oiling that same clock
would be worn out in ten or twenty
years. So with the even more COM
pick organism Of the human body.
What then is the maximum life OF
man? The Psalmist sang: The DAYS
Of our years are three score and ten,
and If by reason of strength they be
tour-score years, yet is there strength,
labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut
off and we fly away" continues the
Commissioner.
In these days we are not satisfied
to accept without question all that our
fathers handed down to us; we must
look for ourselves. And looking far
Their, behold The Lord has given Us
a new mark to shoot at Witness the
sixth chapter of Genesis:
"'And the Lord said my spirit shall
not always strive with man, for he is
also flesh; yet his days shall be an
hundred and twenty years."
What progress have we made
toward this higher goal? In the 18th
century it was calculated that a new
born child had an even chance Of liv-
ing "a years. By the 18th century this
expectation had been increased to s.
years. In the United States BY 1901
the expectation OF living had increased
to so years. By 1920 five more years
had been added to the expectation o.
life. And now, thanks to our unex-
celled living conditions the baby born
in Chicago in 1927 has an even chance
Of living So years.
"How this increase in the span OF
life has been accomplished is too long
story to tell here The discovery Of
the germs of disease, the work of Pas
teur, Robert Koch, Joseph Lister, are
tales more thrilling than the widest
romance
"The protection and publication OF
drinking water, the safe disposal Of
sewage, the pasteurization of milk,
vaccination against smallpox and ty-
phoid fever, antitoxin and toxin-anti-
toxin for protection against diphtheria
are only a part of the factor that have
helped to stretch the span of life. In
telligent care, pure milk, and infant
welfare work have in the past few
years saved thousands of Chicago
babies for useful happy lives.
1--WE do not know the limit of life
we only know that limit is receding as
our knowledge and our skill advance
and with the continued reduction OF
disease and the growth of positive
Astounding health, we can confidently
look forward to the day when people
will be born in health and live their
lives in fullness of health and then die
not from defects, but because they
have fulfilled their allotted span OF
life" concludes the Commissioner.

The Depopulation Spectre

The Depopulation Spectre
Several noted Nordic statisticians
have recently stated that THE Negro
population in the northern industrial
renters and cities does not reproduce
itself" and that ''by 1885, the Negro
population of the United States will
Be decreasing absolutely; and this will
90 on until the Negro, as a separate
population, will have ceased to be a
factor of importance"
A glimpse Of the U. S. Census Blu
reau's Statistical Analysis of Negro
population will reveal the fact that the
depopulation prophecy is merely a
spectre. Probably its originators cher
ished a secret hope which was parent
to the prophecy.
AS a matter of fact, the Negro in
industrial centers is reproducing him
self. and more than that. His death
rate. at these points at least, is grow
ing lower; and his birth rate higher,
than in past decades. His health is
improving and his prospects for lon
qevity, in comparison with competitive
racial groups, are Frightening.
Depopulation has set in only in
southern farmlands, which are yielding
up each year, a goodly number Of
Negroes who are able to purchase
railroad tickets to points north. Even
this influence, however, is growing less
and less, for the reason that those who
have endeavored to stife previous de-
partures of Negro groups from the
cotton and rice fields, and from the
lumber camps and steel mills of the
southern states, are beginning to real
lie that the proximate cause, not the
result, is what should be given first
attention.
1t is indicated that, as between the
years Of 1910 and 1920, when the Ne
gro population increased more than
half a million, new trend Of increase
will begin within the next few years.
With restricted immigration and in
creased industrial opportunities, moth
ing else could be expected.
In the meantime, if crossing the
line" could be averted, either by the
removal Of miscegenation laws Of the
south or the-estoppel of unethical prac-
tees, instigated by the other group,
which tend to bring about an indirect
depopulation, through blood, rather
than through actual numbers, a great
er menace to the Negro population
than that caused by the actual lessen
ing of population would have been re-
moved
