Put Faith in Image
to Friphfen SMALLPOX

Motoring along a country road in
India, the attention Of tourists was
called to curious-looking object by
the roadside. II was roughly carved
little image, mounted on a small stool.
with three legs.
The image betrayed no signs Of
expert workmanship and was quite
clearly the handwork of some rough
village carpenter. They eyes and
mouth were roughly carved, and ver-
million paint brought these into prom
inence The little creature had also
two wooden arms.
Stopping the car, the tourists waited
until some villager came along the
road, and questioned him as to the
reason why this image had been left
by the roadside. He pointed out that
it had been placed few yards over
the boundary line Of the village. and
that 1t had been there since the early
hours Of the morning.
1t was an image of the goddess Of
the village temple, so common in south
India, and represented the deity who
controls smallpox. The scourge had
broken out and had laid low number
of people, and 1t was felt that unless
the goddess could be persuaded to
transfer the evil more would fall sick.
So the little image was made and
removed outside the bounds Of the
village. Naturally the people in the
next village did not appreciate this
attention, and the custom is to move
it from village to village. Then some
times it is possible to get Moham-
medan, for a small fee, to destroy 1t
completely.
Thus does the Indian villager deal
with the troublesome disease.

"WHITE PRIMARY" LAWS OF
TEXAS TO SUPREME COURT
Continued from page u

Fred C. Knollenberg, of Ell Paso,
retained by the National Association
pie in behalf of DR.. Nixon, argued
that as Democratic party primary
elections in Texas are recognized and
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
regulated by law, casting ballot in
such an election is an act of voting
within the meaning of the 18th
Amendment; and the immunity
against discrimination on account of
race or color guaranteed in that
amendment, protects the Negro in his
right to vote in such a primary.
Mr.. Knollenberg's brief further re-
cites:
'The Democratic party primary in
Texas is the only real election in that
State, and the general election in No
vember is nothing more than a for
NAL ratification of the results of the
Democratic primary. The same is
true to greater or less extent in a
number of other States. If such an
enactment under such conditions be
valid, government of the people, for
the people and by the people, was an
idle dream, and the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments to the Consti-
tuition of the United States were
adopted in vain.
I'm the primary from which DR..
Nixon was excluded, no race or color
was barred except his. In Ell Paso
thousands of Whites and of Mexicans
and numbers of Chinese could, and
did, legally cast their ballots; but
Nixon, because of remote Ethiopian
ancestry, was only a spectator"
The brief characterizes the Texas
law, as "such a fragrant, unjust dis
elimination against citizen solely on
account of his race and color; such
brazen attempt to Danish him from
a party of his choice and brand him
with mark of inferiority, as an out
cast unfit to exercise the privilege
which other citizens enjoy of affiliat-
ing with the party of his choice and
exercising the freedom of judgment
in selection of officers under whom he
shall serve, that we are constrained
to believe this court in the exercise
of the high powers reposed in it by
the Constitution and laws, will find
some means of protecting this class
of citizens against such ignominy
and shame even though we may have
failed in our efforts properly to point
the way"
Associated with Mr.. Knollenberg
in the case are Moorfield Storey of
Boston, President of the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Col
ored People, Judge James A. Cobb of
Washington and Robert J. CHANNEL
of Ell Paso, Texas.

LOS ANGELES, Dee. 21.-Ed-

ish slayer of Marion Parker, knew
"more scripture than Sunday
School teacher,' it was revealed
here today, by furniture salesman
who had befriended the youth.
Percy l.. Beck, the salesman told
of how Hickman, following his pa
role on forgery charges, went to the
Calvary Baptist church in this city

Beck said that Hickman visited

year. 1t contained such glowing ac-
counts of the activities of the young
student of Central High School,
Kansas City, that one of Beck g
daughters exclaimed, "you must

Beck said he first met Hickman
