The Grandpa Of Sigma Chi
George Newman, 81, Oldest Living Member, Lost
His Fraternity Pin at Bull Run.

Huntington, W. Va, June 90,
The little jewelled pins of Sigma
Chi fraternity have cleaned and
twinkled on vests. lapels and dresses
in divers times and places. but
George Odd Newman of Huntington,
oldest living member of the frater-
atty. can tell tale OF one that has
them all stopped.
Newman is 81 years old. His
first fraternity pin lies somewhere
beneath the dust and mud on the
outskirts OF Manassas Junction. Va.
1t has been there ever since the first
battle of Bull Run.
In 1855 Newman joined Gamma
chapter of Sigma Chi at Ohio Wes-
leyan University. Graduating the
following year, he went to Ports
mouth, o.. to practice law, and in
1861 he joined the First Ohio in
fantry and took part in the highly
touted invasion of Virginia that
came that summer.
Bull Run is IA classic in American
military history. The army lost the
battle, the nation lost the war and
the high privates lost everything
they had in their hands. Rifles,
haNersackS and coats We're dis
carded as impediments TO flight
And, in all Of this turmoil, George
odd Newman lost his fraternity pin
He didn't stop to look for it.
NO wonder 1t jostlcd Oft" he
ne says We ran, that time, let me
tell YOU
A diligent search OF the Bun Run
battlefield has failed to locate the
pin.
Mr.. Newman is believed to be the
oldest fraternity man in the country.
ON every birthday he gets a flock
of letters and kilograms from fra
ttrnity brothers-nany of them
striplings young enough TO be his
great grandsons.
And he's not too old to hum,

NEGRO RACE MOST FERTILE
OF ALL IN u. S.-DR. DUBLIN

New York City-"Of all the native
stocks of America, it is and has al
ways been the most prolific" de-
clares Dr. Louis l. Dublin of the Ne
gro, in a new book, Health and
Wealth, a copy of which has been
sent to the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
SO Fifth avenue, by the publishers,
Harper & Brothers. DR.. Dublin con-
tinues:
"The doleful prophecies of those
who saw the race problem solved
through his (the Negro's) extinction,
have been absolutely discredited by
recent events. The recent
gains in the average length of life
are entirely commensurate with those
of the white population. This fact
alone holds out the greatest prom
Use for the future of the Negro in
America"
DR.. Dublin reports a sharp decline
in the incidence of tuberculosis
among the Negroes and says:
"The colored people have, as a
race, good physiques and they are
learning all the time to take better
care of themselves in relation to their
change of environment. In their ma
tive habitat, tuberculosis was either
unknown or only slightly prevalent.
There is no reason, therefore, why
they should not ultimately have as
low a tuberculosis death rate as any
group of the American population in
similar economic circumstances"
On the other hand DIR. Dublin is
sues warning against the high death
rate from syphilis and degenerative
diseases of syphyllitic origin, such as
locomotor ataxia and general paral-
ysis. From every ANGLE" he writes,
''these venereal diseases appear to be
the most important single obstacle in
the health progress of the race"
According to scientific research,
DIR. Dublin reports, the Negro who
now numbers about 10 per cent of
the population of the United States,
will not change his relative status
in any marked degree. 'He is here
for good, and the years to come will
probably see him playing an increas-
ingly important and worthy part in
the affairs of the country. His
achievement in America will be ulti-
mately recognized not only as the
greatest experiment in racial adjust
ments ever undertaken by man, but
as the most encouraging and crafty
ing episode in our national life."

Company unions offer no redress,
because owned and directed by the

Director of Branches, N. A. A. C. p.

The movement towards the organi-
zation of the Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters is one of tremendous
Importance to Negro labor through
out America. If it succeeds it will
cause Negro labor to be encouraged
to organize all along the line. The
organization of ten thousand porters
also will convince white labor that
the Negro is fully capable of mobili-
zation and should be freely accepted
into the ranks of organized labor.
The failure of the movement on
the other hand will discourage Ne
groes in all other lines from attempt
ing to organize unions and will dis
count the Negro in the eyes of white
labor.
The Need
No one who knows anything about
the pitiable wage and the unfair
working conditions of the porters will
deny that such an organization is
needed. 1t is not, as some suppose,
an organization to do away with tips
but an organization to do away with
tips counting for wages. Dead head
