City Struck

City Struck
Prof. A. r. Hatton, authority on
population, tells one of the great wo-
mans clubs that the people are city
struck. Twenty years from now 70
per cent of the population will be
city dwellers.
A nation of city people means
early decay. 1t is all right to ques-
tion the wisdom of white Americans
deserting the land, but you under
stand why colored people leave the
farm for the city, do you not?
Northern colored people have
never been country people. On the
other hand southern colored people
were never city people until after
the rebellion. In the last twenty
years country colored people in the
South woke up and started to town.
After awhile they heard of better
times further on and started north.
Mr.. Borah, who started out to be
an actor, told the United States sem
ate that he thought the South treated
the Negro better than the North eco
nomically and industriafiy. You hards
ly know what Mr.. Borah is driving
80 -
Booker T. Washington used to say
that Negro could spend dollar in
the North but he couldn't make one
there. Times have changed, as you
see. Now the Negro can make dol
lar in the North and make what he
gets in the South.
A voteless man living among a
voting people will get what he can.
A voting man living among those
who vote with him may not earn
much but he can go to the courthouse
and get what he earns. You see that,
of course.
Mr.. Borah! the Negro left the
country for the city because he was
scared to go to bed at night. He left,
the South because he heard of a land
where the Democratic party hadn't
read him out of the government.
Colored men who make a good liv-
ing solving the race problem say
otherwise, but the truth is the light.
Having driven coiored people from
the country, our white people may
some day repeat after Gray:
"Princes and lords may flourish or
may fade;
A breath can make them as breath
has made,
But bold peasantry, their country's
pride,
When once destroyed can never be
supplied"

Treatment of Varicose Veins.

In two or three talks I gave my ideas
about the nature, cause and prevention
of yarieosities. All such information
goes in one ear of the average reader
and right out of the other ear. what
the reader wants is the cure, call II by
whatever name he will. Ii 1 insist on
telling him the nature and cause OF
his malady, very well-he supposes ne
will have to stand for that in order 10

correspondents whose sole interest Is

| If / did know of a cure for anything,
I couldn't tell the correspondent about

no license to practice and no desire to

point. There is no law governing the

advice, consult a physician.

| what folks mean when they speak OF a
varicose vein breaking" or bursting.
| II they mean hemorrhage, that must be
| excessively rare. I've never known of
such an emergency, and I've had a
goodish experience in private and hos
pital practice. But to assure you If ever
your varicose vein should break open
and begin to bleed you can stop it
easily enough by simply pressing a
| folded handkerchief OF your fingers
moderately on the bleeding point and
| holding 1t or applying a bandage over it.
Perhaps the expression breaking or
bursting" of Varicose vein means an
other complication that happens too
often, namely, clothing of blood at some
point in the vein (thrombus. as doctors
call it, and perhaps infection invasion
by germs), which produces infiamma-
ton of the vein wall tphlebitis), and
| the whole effect Is called thrombophle-
| bits. This is marked by swelling, hard
| ness of the flesh or skin about the
| thrombus, usually some general fever
and probably liberation after many
days This is one way in which varl-
cose ulcer develops. Another way is by
accidental abrasion of the skin of the
| leg and subsequent infection OF the
| poorly nourished tissue thus exposed.

ton is indeed serious and when not
wisely managed 1t is dangerous to life.
Whether any form of Logging, sup
porter. bandage or other permanent
dressing should be worn is a question
for the individual medical adviser to
consider. When in doubt it is surely
better not to adopt any artificial sup
port.
OF course, no appliance, medicament
or method of treatment that can be
used externally or managed by the
patient himself is worthy Of serious
consideration To my mind, it is sad
commentary on American educational
standards and American business ethics
that certain takers are permitted to ad-
yertise their mysterious nostrums as
"cures" for varicose veins.

Tourists Coat and Skirt Hangers
BY LYDIA lie BARON WALKER

of the ideas is for skirts and the other
for dresses and coats. One costs MOTH
ing. and the other nothing more than
the price of a few large safety pins,
brass rings about the size to slip over
ones thumb or the same size of cellu-
loid rings. and yard OF wide tape,
Strange TO say. it is the skirt hangers
that have the slight expense attached
to the making. while the larger coat
hangers cost nothing at all to make.
The coat hangers can be fashioned
| of a newspaper, wrapping paper or a
stiff piece of cardboard. A box cover
win do. If paper is used, an entire
/ section will be needed Roll 1t tight
I and close, starting from the top and
| rolling to the bottom Of the pages
! Keep the roll as neat and smooth as
possible. Wind a string several times
around each END about Ia inches from
the tips and tie securely. Wind a
stout string or length of twine around
the middle of the roll tie, and then
make loop Of the Irvine about or
inches long. The coat hanger is COM
plete. The string about the ends will
prevent the coil from getting loose. and
also will prevent garments from slipping
off, The twine around the middle of
the coil further aids in Keeping the
roll from undoing, while the loop is
used TO hang the coat hanger to the
closet hook, The roll of paper must
be so solid that it bends not at all or
but slightly under the weight of the
garments.
If strip of cardboard or box
cover is used, II or IA inches by 4 or 5
inches is a good size. Pierce two holes.
one each side of the center top. making
them about or inches apart Run
a piece of Irvine or a small cord through
the holes and tie at the back, forming
a loop Of string about inches long in
all. The stiffness of the cardboard acts
as the wood or metal Of the coat
hanger, while the cord suspends it.
A skirt hanger is made from 4-inch
length of | or "a inch wide tape, Run
the tape through the ring and sew the
tape together 50 that the ring Is held
in the middle of the length of tape
Run one end of the tape through the
slit in the metal of the garter pin.
Double the other end of tape over this
turned-in end and seam SO that the
raw edges are neatly concealed, and
at the same time prevent the tape from
slipping where it goes through the Slit
Two OF these pin and ring arrange
mentS are needed for one skirt hanger.
The rings slip over closet hooks and
The pendant safety garter pins are run
through the band of skirt, clasped,
and thus secure the skirt as well as If
in regulation skirt hangers
The skirt hangers are so small that
they can be slipped into woman's
handbag, and so do duty many times |
during journey. but the garment |
hangers can be discarded on leaving |
ones destination and others made when |

a few moments to make several. and |
as has been said. they cost nothing.

Pin a Scarf.

Instead Of knotting the triangular
scarf, which often gives too broad a
shoulder line, many women are now
crushing 1t softly about the neck and
fastening 1t with pin at the throat.
AS we'll as making another way to wear
the scarf. it gives an attractive oppor-
tunity to the new brooches.
A brooch with stones TO match the
figures or stripes OF the scarf makes
a desirable collar for the frock or
sweater with a plain neckline.
