A. HEALTH LESSON FROM
LINDBERGH
Bv Herman N. Bundesen, M. d.
Commissioner

Everyone who is familiar with the
advances Of modern science knows
how the flying machine was developed
and perfected until transatlantic
flights are possible. Does everyone
know how the human body was per-
fected by Lindbergh to make possible
the plotting of the aeroplane" asks
DR.. Herman N. Bundesen, commits
sioner of health, in his latest bulle-
tin.
What we see in Lindbergh is not
only the courageous. aviator Of high
spirit We see in him a superb speci-
men Of mankind, upright, healthy,
virile and alert. We see in him the
product Of a good body, we'll cared
for, as beautifully developed as his
monoplane.
"Lindbergh started with the great
est of gifts that humans receive from
their parents-good health. He treas
ured and guarded this great gift. He
lived clean, healthy youth. He took
his quota of exercise, fresh air, sports,
work and play And when he tested
his body in the EXTREMIST way, it was
not found wanting" continues the
commissioner.
1--WE acclaim Lindbergh not alone
for his feat of aviation, but for the
wisdom and care he gave his body to
make possible this newest conquest Of
distance and time.
1--WE are not all-nor can we all be
-Lindberghs, but we can profit from
the lesson he teaches Modern health
science, practically applied, is MAX
ing it possible for babies to be well
born, healthy and strong. By health
education, clinics, welfare stations, and
other means, we are making it pos
sible for mothers and fathers to give
their children healthy childhood
After the years Of childhood and early
youth, the burden OF keeping health
through adult life falls upon the in
dividual. His is the duty and the
obligation to make of the body what
Lindbergh made of his-the- fitting
Temple Of the Soul" concludes the
commissioner.

PULLMAN PORTERS WANT
HIGHER WAGES
preston News Service)

preston News Service)
Washington, D. c., June BE
cause of the small wage Of about SIS
month on tips, a total for the United
States Of about 100000 a year, has
created a dire necessity among Pull
man porters for higher wages. Most
of them are willing, it is said, to give
up the tipping privilege entirely for
shorter hours, more pay and recogni-
ton of the Union of Sleeping Car
Porters.
This is the burden Of petition filed
with the Federal Mediation Board by
the officials of the Pullman Porters'
Brotherhood, which claims a member
ship of nearly two-thirds of the Pull
man porters and maids.
The petition also asks that the medi-
alton board recognize the union as the
employees official spokesman, in
place of the Porters' Benefit Associa-
ton, which is characterized as a
company union"
The petition goes on to say that
the average wage is now about $72. so
month for 400 hours work per
month, or an average of 13-hour day
for 80 days. The porters ask for 240-
hour month.
While the $50 tipping average
means an average total income of $3.50
a month, tipping varies so widely, the
petition says, that some porters make
about SIS a month from it, while
others make 5000 or more.
But the porters want the tipping
system entirely abolished. It encour-
ages longer hours because they want
to stay on the trains to collect tips;
produces unequal pay for equal work
and encourages obsequiousness among
Negroes and thus binders the races
chance for advancement, they say.
They also assert that inasmuch as
the porter's service is an essential
part of the commodity sold by the
Pullman company, the system enables
the company to charge the public
twice, once in its own rates and once
in its savings on porters' salaries.
Better sleeping accommodations or
night runs and certain changes in trir
schedules are also asked.

son the burglar, prowler and sneak
thief is on the lookout for unguarded
property. Whether you reside in an
apartment or residence, here are a
few points to remember when you
leave home:
Every door and window Of your
home should be securely fastened with
a good strong lock or fastener. If
the door can be opened with skele-
ton key, provide another lock or bolt.
Don't fail to notify your mailman
to hold your mail Accumulated mail
in the box is an invitation for a sneak
thief.
Notify your newspaper carrier, your
milkman or anybody that may deliver
articles to you not to make any de-
liveries until you return home.
Don't pull your shades all the way
down. All outward appearance Of
your home or apartment should be the
same as if you were home.
Under no circumstances should val

THIS WEEK
BY Ernest Rice Mckinney
(For Preston News Service)


The whole world has been singing
hymns Of praise to young American
who successfully piloted one-engine
monoplane across the Atlantic and
landed safely in Paris in less than
tltirty-two hours. While there is lots
of glanor and glory and honor in the
thing, there is something far deeper.
1t isn't fully explained by saying that
Lindbergh took chance and won.
1t isn't enough to say that Lindbergh
was lucky" 1t is pretty difficult for
a man to fly through the air 5000
miles on luck. And even if the ele-
ment of luck did enter there must
have been some quality present, some
worthwhile quality, that would make
a man place himself into position for
luck to become operative when the
peril of such trip is considered.
I am of the opinion that any race
that produces Lindbergh has quail
ties that some other races would do
well to learn about and adopt. ! am
finding it increasingly difficult to hate
a race. that can produce Lindbergh.
In fact / have the greatest admiration
for such a race l am also ready TO
believe that a family that produces
Lindbergh is an exceptional family.
This young man did not just happen.
It may be true that no biologist or
geneticist or psychologist can put his
hands on the full explanation OF the
Lindberghs, but there is an efficient
cause nevertheless.
The day that Negroes produce a
Lindbergh in the various fields OF ac-
tivity that day will see the dawning of
lessening prejudice and the coming OF
greater freedom; respect and recogni-
ton. It is useless to argue that there
IS no chance That is but to repeat
the age-old cry that everyone, Ninclud-
ing many Negroes, is tired listening
to. Lindbergh did not sit on this side
because there were storms on the
ocean. He did not request that ships
be stationed every few miles to pick
him I'D if he fell Most important of
all he depended absolutely on himself
to get to France. There is no need to
say more. There is lot in this At
lantic fight that will do some Of US
a lot Of good if we give heed.
