 II must be remembered that they are q transplautcd people living under conditions different from those under which the race grew. They have had, further more. less opportunity for educa- ton, less knowledge of sanitation and disease prevention.
 Among the diseases which occur most frequently in the negro race are tuberculosis and diseases of the kidneys and lungs.
 The murder rate is six times that Of the whites. The diseases which seem to affect are nervous distu hances, eve troubles and skin diseases. Their suicide rate is. moreover, about ono-.ilird ttlt of the white race.
 Because Of their increased rate of mortality and their lessene1 life expectancy. they usually are forced 10 pay higher insurance rates than do white people.

RED GRANGE IN ZONE
MINUTE TO Play AT IRIS

Starring the greatest football
player Of all times, Zone Minute To
Play Greater F. B. O's production
introducing Red Grange to the motion
picture world, will be shown at the
Iris theatre Sunday and Monday. The
story revolves around a boy who goes
to college with the purpose of making
a football record both for himself and
his Alma Mater which to date has
never won a game. This theme gives
Grange a great opportunity to dis
play his flashing speed and remark
able technique, and also offers the en-
tire country chance to see the
"Gridiron Ghost" in perfect form.
Aside from the thrilling football Sc
quences, the picture is replete with
side-splitting humor and has beau
tiful romance of youthful love. The
story is an original by Byron Nor
gan and was made under the diree-
ton of Sam Wood. The cast includes
Mary McAllister, Ben Hendricks, Jr.,
Lincoln Steadman, Lee Shumway,
Charles Ogle, Jay Hunt, Edythe
Chapman and George Wilson, famous
halfback.
