Has High Blood Pressure,
Which May Slow Him Up

New York, July 2l.-LP-Jack
Dempsey is no longer the superman
who Knocked Luis Angel Frpo for Il
loop four years ago. in the opinion
of DR.. William Walker. physician for
the state athletic commiss ION, who
examined the ex-cbampion today.
Dempsey is as physically fit as
any human being could be at 30, =
said DR.. Walker. but he is not the
superman of four years ago. He is
no longer the bundle of nerves that
faced Firpo. The most obvious change
in his physical responses was a blood
pressureg test which, although not
lete. Sharkey's blood pressure was

Blood Pressure May Cause Sl0wness
"Dempsey's high blood pressure
from Il medical viewpoint, may tend
to slow him up as the fight progress
es." DR.. Walker continue Further
more, Dempsey's pulse rate-73 at
rest and 70 after eXercise-indicated
that the. formed champions heart
action would be slower returning to
normal than Shsrkey, whose pulse at
rest was GS and "a after exercise.
"Dempsey's increasing blood pres
sure is doubtless due to his age" DR..
Walker said.
Dempsey's weight indicated he had
trimmed off approximately IL pounds
in three weeks of training at Sara
toga. Nevertheless it was consider
ably over his poundage last Septen-
Der when he scaled 1870 for his losn
fight with Gene Tunney.
Sharkey Cool
Sharkcy was as cool and as con
fident as ever when he stepped or

Nv. Caucasian Superiority

R. B. James (white) writing from
Lexington, Va, "a section Of Vir-
ginia which is overladen with Cauca-
sian intelligentia), after referring CO
piously to the catastrophe Of mis-
cegenation which has befallen his
brethren Of the South" says that "the
colored races have been on the earth
thousands Of years longer than the
Caucasians and have never been able
to establish civilization nor even to
maintain one established by the white
race"
Philosophers OF Prof James type
have peculiar way Of mishtting eff
fects to causes. AS a matter of fact,
everyone knows, though few Cauca-
slams will admit it, that the 'catastro-
phe of miscegenation" which has be-
fallen Prof. James brethren is mis-
named. The catastrophe" in truth
has taken, and is now taking, ITS toll
not from the Caucasians, but, rather.

the English Common Law, as It once
existed in Virginia and elsewhere in
the South, prior to revision by state
legislatures.
Prof. James again errs when he
states that the colored races are not
maintaining the civilization which has
been established in America. They

GEORGIA WHITES AND
BLACKS AT SAME
BARBECUE

Woodland, Ga.-An outing designed
to strengthen the bonds of amity and
good will existing between the white
citizens and Negroes here last Satur-
day was witnessed by the attendance
Of several thousand persons Of both
races. The gathering was believed
the first Negro homecoming ever
given by white citizenry.
Prominent members Of both races
delivered addresses in evidencing the
friendship of the two in this part of
the state. The occasion was planned
primarily that the people of Talbot
county might manifest their apprecia-
ton Of the loyalty and industry Of the
Negroes in the county, few of whom
have migrated.
A bountifuI barbecue was rendered
the Negroes after the speaking, fol-
lowed by various athletic events and
a baseball game in which only the
Negroes participated.

STUDY OF NEGRO LIFE AND

is an all but general demand for the
extension of this work Requests for
the organization of branches come
from reading clubs, literary societies
and churches.
There are four important purposes
in establishing local branches: To
save such records Of the Negro as old

past Of the Negro; to secure the CO.
operation of a number of persons who
will learn to tell intelligently to chill
dren in schools and churches interest
ing stories of distinguished Negroes
who have achieved things worth while;
and to promote the actual study Of the
Negro in class or club proceeding
according to definite outline and under
the supervision Of the director or the
association.
To carry out this program the asso-
citation has employed field secretary
and financial agent. The field sec
rotary is MIR. John J. Mckinley Of
Chicago. He comes to the associa-

training at the University of Chicago

II. A Virginia Dilemma

oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive"
Nirginia's racial integrity law,
measure which was recently designed
to act as an, extractor of black chaff
from white wheat, is at present en-
deavoring to hop, skip and jump over
some unforeseen racial difficulties. 1t
appears that notable Indian descend
ants from gentle Pocahontas and her
kin Of years ago have been hard struck
by the integrity law, and that the
sieve is turning back some human
Jumps which under the law cannot be
crushed into bits and strained through.
The city of Richmond, it seems, is
about to be compelled to 60 to the
trouble and expense of establishing a
special school for fifty or more Indian
children-racial outcasts, as it were
who cannot enter the white schools
and will not enter the colored schools.
At first, it seems, that the racial in
tegrity measure was functioning per-
tectly when families with a notable
strain Of Negro blood were barred
from the white schools. In many cases
It was necessary to eject children who
had almost completed their education
In the white public schools-sons and
daughters of parents who always had
considered themselves white"
Several Of the families affected had
been proud Of their Indian blood until
the racial integrity agitation disclosed
beyond reasonable doubt that prac-
tically no Virginia Indian blood sub
sequent to 1900 remained free from
pronounced Negroid strain. Indian
reservations for more than a hundred
years furnished free refuge for run
away slaves and hospitality to freed
Negroes. The black and the red races
IN most of Virginia became inextric-
ably mixed And inevitably the white
mixed with the red and black to pro-
duce children with clear features,
aquiline noses and straight Indian hair.

months ago that cotton from India
and other foreign countries might en-

The southern cotton farmers has al
ways been subject to number of con-

him fear. There has been one fac
tor in the cotton enterprise as to
which he has felt safe and sure; year
in and year out; and that is the avail
ability Of the Negro cotton worker,
at whatever wage the cotton operator
wished to pay.
But, 10 and behold, the producer of
cotton, the output Of the hands of
Negro labor, now faces "windfall."
What will he do with the surplus
profit? Will he purchase improved

the Negro would become more happy
and more contented?
Will the cotton farmers, who con-
troll the southern banking and cur
rency systems, ease up on the interest
rates which Sharks" are exacting from
Negro farm operators and agricultural
workers?
Will this cotton wealth be used to
make Dixieland a better place for all
the people to live in?
If so, next years cotton surplus will
be greater than that of this year If
not the southern cotton farmer will
soon again drift back into an atmos-
phere Of fear and apprehension. Let
him take his choice.

unending hues and cries against law

America has spent sleepIess nights
fearing that out of the conviction and

terrorism, the instrumentalities Of

With the morrow, though, the old
order will reappear. Gone will be
the memories Of the hatred Of an

which came from the knowledge that

Again, he will toll onward, ever kept
in his place, while those Of purest
white hue, be they aliens, anarchists
or whatnot, just so long as they re-
tain outward composure and respect
as to the treasures of America, will,
as before, be placed in the front ranks
Of favor, with the Negro at their rear.
