Captive Wild Beasts
Haze Strong Appeal

Long before Christ the desire of the
public to view wild animals, birds,
reptiles and fish at close range mani
tested itself. Royal preserves and me-
1ageries are as old as the civilization
Of Assyria and Egypt. In 100 B. G.
It is recorded that the first emperor
Of the Chou dynasty in China estab-
ished a geological garden, the first of
Its kind of which there Is definite
knowledge. This garden was called
Intelligence park and appears to have
had scientific and educational objects.
The ancient Romans kept in captiv-
lty large numbers of such animals as
eopards, lions, bears, elephants, cam
els, rhinoceroses and appropriateness,
as well as ostriches and crocodiles.
Emperor Frederick III had at his Sell
ian court a notable collection from
which he sent to Henry III of England
three leopards, in compliment to the
three animals of that species that ap-
peared in the monarch's coat of arms
These animals, with an elephant sent
not long afterward by Louis TX of
France, formed the nucleus Of the
famous Tower menagerie. = Detroit

President in PotUer
in Troub[ous Times

James Buchanan. as fifteenth Presi-
dent of the United States, occupied
the White House when the questions
If slavery and states rights We're dam
gerously fermenting. His administra-
ton, from 1857 TO 1861, saw the pref
ude to the Civil war.
Buchanan was born April %, 1871.
AS Pennsylvania he disapproved Of
slavery, but being a strict constitution
llist and a Democrat, he held to Off
cial convictions. He publicly denied
he right of secession, and refused to
.reat South Carolina representatives
as foreign delegates.
His chief difficulty was an unsym-
pathetic congress.
The bred Scott decision and John
Browns raid on Harper's Ferry so
stirred the nation during his admins
tration that those events somewhat
submerged his diplomatic accomplish
ments of settling the question Of Brit
lsh dominion in Central America and
by stopping Great Britain's fright Of

Atlantic cable was laid in Buchanan's

Odd Legends About
Inhabitants of Moon

The weird marks seen on a full
moon, and today known 20 be noun
tains and valleys on the face of the
Queen Of Night, have given rise to
many quaint legends, peculiar to diff
ferent countries. In certain races the
man in the moon is a being who, on
account of great wisdom, says q writer
in the Popular Pictorial, was trans
ferred to the moon, from which he was
able to see everything that occurred
To the Chinese he is Yue-tao, who ar
ranges all marriages. Among the old
Red Indian tribes the medicine men
received their power by departing into
the middle of a lake and holding con-
sultation with the man in the moon.
The German version deals with a
peasant who was reprimanded by an
angel for gathering fagots on a Sun
day. He replied, Sunday on earth, or
Monday In heaven, it Is all the same
to me-" For this he was sent to an
eternal MONDAY in heaven.
The earliest English version ap-
pears In the writings Of st. Adams
monk. Here it was Moses Who found
a man gathering sticks on the Sab
bath, and expelled him to the moon.
In France the man in the moon be-
comes Judas Iscariot. and the wood
is load which he must always carry
az a punishment.

COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES
By THE CAMERAMAN

Medical, dental and nursing clinics
were held, and the committee discov-
cred and faithfully recorded MANY i'll
health characteristics and causes of dis
ability among both white and colored
children.
Ignorance, however, among both
races, was the chief proximate cause
Of the discouraging truths which the
committee unearthed.
For instance, prejudice (the child OF
ignorance) against smallpox and ty-
phoid vaccination was adding to the
ravages of those diseases, "and," saws
the committee, there are still Negroes
in Rutherford county (Tenn.) who fear
that such things Vaccinations mean
interfering with Gods will, and white
people in Marion county (Tenn.) who
gather in the back yard Of a home in
which child lies sick with SMALLPOX
to chant hopefully, Chase the pox, D
Lord: chase the pox.'"
And thus, the Demonstration Com
mittee of New York has gripped with
the dismal health conditions; and in
one of the selected counties local ap-
preparations for child health work have
been increased from 10 cents per head
to % cents. Think of it! Twenty
eight whole pennies per year to pre-
serve the teeth, the eyes, the body of a
child, who, tomorrow, will Be the man
or woman
And, before calling Negro health a
menace to a nation which is struggling
for high health standards, think, too,
of the cramped Negro life in the back
streets and alleys, on the water fronts,
behind factory walls and amid low
wages and conditions of oppression,
and you'll forgive them for their short
comings in the way of accentuated i'll
health and mortality.

> Coercion VS.. "Sugarcoating":
South Africa has adopted a plan of
legislation instead Of "sugarcoating' to
solve one of its serious race prob
lens The problem of how to get
along with its imported Hindu popula-
ton, which, by underselling and under
living, threatens to make living i'm
possible for the white man in small
trade"
1t appears that after economic pres
sure, municipal ordinances, and even
"sugarcoated" offers of free passage
home and cash bonus, have failed to
reduce Indian population, the Union
government is about to change the
economic status, at least, Of these dark
skinned people, by compelling them to
live according to the white mans
standards, or leave South Africa.
This new movement is viewed very
tavorably by some of the Hindus, while
others see only the possibility Of this
procedure finally driving out the sim
pie living, frugal Indian, with whom
the whites are unable to compete.
Whatever the outcome Of this new
measure may be, whether it will be Of
harm or benefit to these Hindus, time
only will tell. But the whole affair
shows how Nordics the world over
fear the progress and increase Of their
dark-Skinned brothers. Nordic eco
nomic, political, and social supremacy
is ever the white mans creed; be he
English, German, or American.

Christianity and Intolerance:

A recent episode at the Kings
County Hospital in New York, where
.,ren+v-four internes made three Jew
;sb internes the victims of cruel and
cowardly hazing party, causes just
comment from The Jewish Tribune.
This magazine, usually broad in its
views of life, characterized this affair
,s "a misunderstanding Of the teach
;nps of Christianity by Christians
themselves. THE hospital is an insti-
tuition maintained by the City of New
York. at least a quarter of whose pop
rIation are Jews. Yet these Christian
obvsicians made life miserable for
three Jewish colleagues, at the same
time Dining into their ears This is a
Christian institution and we will toll
crate no Jews here \"
This is, indeed, the spirit of bigotry
and intolerance that accompanies the
Christianity Of Nordic America today.
Throughout the South, the Negro has
long been the victim Of such malevo-
lence on account of his color and "pre-
vious condition Of servitude." But
what has the Jew, except his difference
IN religion that should cause him to
become the object Of American ami
mostly?
The spirit of hatred and intolerance
seems to be steadily growing every
where. We, as a group, can deeply
sympathize with our Jewish brother,
and feel with him the chagrin that
such injustices bring TO its victims.
Intolerance, hatred, bigotry and preju-
dice, can they go hand in hand with
real Christianity? who loveth God
loveth his brother also"
