Negro History

Is it true that a man of dark blood
founded the present Swedish dynas-
ty?.--N. M. X.
Yes. He was Berhadotte, a man
of Moorish extraction. He was one
of the Marshalls of Napoleon, and
succeeded to the Swedish throne un.
der the name of Charles vi.
Which is considered to be the
greatest of Dumas novels?-B. W.,
The Count of Monte Cristo.
have read that a Creole is one
born in America of French or Span.
ish parents and not of Negro blood.
Is this correct?-H. H. J.
This is the Americans favorite
definition to avoid the truth. Among
the Creoles of New Orleans, whs
should know, a Creole is one OF
French or Spanish blood along with
some degree of African.
How was the Moorish civilization
destroyed?-M. M. L.
The Moorish civilization was de-
stroyed as a result of the religious
wars waged by the Christians and the
Mohammedans.
Who was Jethro?-D. X. T.
Jethro was priest of indian and
father-in-law of Moses. He was of
African descent.
What was the greatest city of an
cient Ethiopia &c. H.
The city of Meroel, often called
the Kingdom of Meroe, inasmuch IS
it was situated on an island just
north of Egypt. Late Psychologists
have claimed the original Ethiopia
stretched clear across the northern
littoral of Africa, including even the
Gold Coast. If this is true, then
Ethiopia was indeed very extensive.
Is it true that some Negroes have
been admitted to the X. X. K.?-
B. N. F.
Hardly. The very purpose of the
Klan excludes them. If there are any
Negroes in it, it is that they are
passing as Nordic.

BIG BUSINESS SEEN
DOMINANT IN i. S.
Leonard P. AyreS Says Little
Concerns Are Being Crowd
ed Out by Prices.

NEW YORK. September 2f-Big
business is crowding out little business
and the future holds more jobs but
fewer chances for individual enter
prise, said Leonard =. Ayers. Cleve-
land banker and we'll known econn-
mist, writing for the October Review
of Reviews.
The United States is in the FIRST
stages of new economic era. he said
in which falling prices in a period Of
prosperity are forcing the smaller and
less efficient firms out of business.
leaving the big firms stronger than
before.
I'm the future we shall have fewer
depressioha. but we shah also have rot
atively fewer opportunities to found
businesses wrote Mr.. Ayers.
There will be more employees and
fewer proprietors. For most business
men there will be less risk, less worry.
less responsibility, and more steady
jobs in middle and subordinate jobs
with larger corporations"
Mr.. Ayres credited immigration re.
! striction with a large contribution to
the situation by forcing manufacturers
to become more efficient through the
use of machinery.
