there also are many times when Horo-
witz asserts his own individuality IN his
reading of Chopin works.
Nothing could have more lyrical
ioveliness than this pianist's presenta-
ton of the Liszt arrangement Of
Schubert's 'Liebcsbotschaft." This was
a rare tribute TO the current Schubert

other unusual number that won much
applause.

Propaganda

The United States is run by prop
uganda. Where rival propagandists
compete, victory in the majority OF
cases goes to him who has the most
money. The conclusion is that the
United States is largely run by
moneyed interests.
Take simple thing like flood
relief. Mr. viii Rogers, the come
dian and humorist, who charged the
Dodge Motor Car company $5,OOO
for an hours talk over the radio
the other night, was employed Dy
wealthy persons in the flood area

sion as Congressman at Large
and put In a good word for federal
aid to the flood district when he
said: at seems to me that the ma
ton should pay for all Of 1t, we
should not try to keep them half
drowned"
The point made is that congress
always keeps one ear open to the
voters back home and the other to
the propagandists in Washington.
Congress has dallied with the
anti-lynching bill for three or four
years. II those to be benefited

Travel In Dixie

ATLANTA, Ca, (ANP.) = What
ever there may be of liberalization of
uolicy toward colored travellers by
the railroads of the South is the di-
rect result of constant effort on the
part of few colored men who travel
frequently and demand the best ac-
cofnmodations available and resent
every discourtesy rendered.
Jesse o. Thomas. field secretary
of the Urban League, who acts as
sort of unofficial transportation
agent in securing reservations for
sundry colored travellers out of At
lanta, North, South, and East, is an
example. Recently returning to At
lanta from his tour of observation
as a member of the Hoover Colored
Flood Advisory Commission, Mr..
Thomas, who was weary, reclined
on the last seat in the car, a long
narrow cushioned bench half again
as long as regular seat.
The flagman came in and asked
him to move because he wanted to
use the space as his "office" to sort
the conductors tickets. Mr.. Thomas
refused. "This is no place to sleep,
said the flagman tartly. Day coach
tickets are not sold with sleeping car
privileges" he continued. Eyes,
said Mr.. Thomas, chats why the
railroad company always sells me
seat in the Pullman"
The flagman subsidized, but Mr.
Thomas took the matter up with Gen
eral Passenger Agent Billups of the
| Atlanta and West Point Railway al
soon as he reached Atlanta. The re
suit was immediate. "Your letter Of
December 49," Mr.. Billiups wrote
Complaining of an action of oui
flagman on train IS. has been refer
red to our superintendent of trans
portation, who has charge of all trail
crews. I assure you the matter vii

Conceited Professor

benjamin Brawley, professor at
Shaw University, refuses one of the
second awards donated by Harmon,
the philanthropist. claiming that his
work has never been second rate.
II is quite true that Professor
Brawley has done some splendid
work in the field OF literature but
his efforts have not startled the
world nor have they been of suf-
ficient character to be labeled as
the products of genius. What is
more. the erudite professor. who
admires himself so much that he
cannot see the work of another
has taken the mental slant that will
prevent him from doing superior
work. When people get SO gooc
that they can see no room for i'm
provement then their usefulness
ceases. The professor is certainly
no paragon Of modesty.

Songs--Then and Now

Behind jokes lay studied intents.
That which amuses often reveals
the mind of the amuser and the
amused. Because of this, ii is sim
pie to measure the respect accord
ed a people by the jokes and songs
recorded about them.
Two decades ago the songs about
colored people clearly revealed the
poor estimate in which they were
held Many of the popular songs
of the day used trace" as the big
selling idea. And the sale, mind
you, went big among both colored
and white people. There was Coon,
Coon, Coon. Wish My Color Would
Fade" There also were such songs
as, ''If the Man in the Moon Were
a Coon" Wont You Come Home,
Bill Bailey?". Navajo" and "Rufus
Rastus Johnson Brown"
Every single one of the above
mentioned songs capitalized an al
legged inferiority of race. And the
sad thing is that while the Cauca-
slams capitalized it the colored peo-
pie subscribed to it with money
which helped make these songs the

Poem This Week
If We Only Understood

III we Oniy OnoeTstooo
Could we but draw back the curtains
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit
Know what spur the action gives
Often we would find it better,
Purer than we Judge we would;
We would love each other better,
If we only understood.
Could we Judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we would love the sinner
All the while we loathed the sin,
Could we know the power working
To Overthrow integrity,
We would judge each others errors
With more patient charity.
If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim external roughness
Seem, wonder, just the same?
Would we help where now we hinder
Would we pity where we blame?
Ali we Judge each other harshl!
Knowing not the fount of action
Knowing not life's hidden force;
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
| Oh we'd love each other better
If we only understood.

Do You Know?
HOW DO WE SEE?

The working of the human eye is
like a camera in many respects. The
camera has shutter to control the
amount of light required; the pupil
of the eye performs a similar duty.
The camera has a lens, which re.
tracts (bends) the light waves and
brings them to focus on the sensi-
tive plate in the rear of the camera.
The Crystalline Lens in the front OF
the eye focuses a picture Of the OBJ
ect on the retina. the sensitive part
of the optic nerve, which spreads over
the inner surface of the back of the
eyeball and does the seeing. A cam
era is focused by means of movable
sides or by substituting a lens of diff
ferent curvature. The normal human
eve adjusts itself in much the same
way. Eyes that fail to adjust prop
erly for distance are known as far
sighted or near-sighted.
