greatest.
Fly traps made by the manual
training class of the Colored Train
ing School were exhibited at the
Fair. Professor Brown said that he
could supply these traps to the COM
munity at the small cost of fifty
cents each, which is just the cost
of the material used in making the
trap. Professor Brown plans to
speak at the next Community Club
meeting and to explain the i'm
portance of this Statewide Santa
ton Educational Campaign, and
what it means to our people. Mil
lions of dollars could be saved for
the State and her citizens each year
if flth-borne, fy-borne, diseases
could be wiped out. Healthy, work
ing citizens are no expense, but doc
tors bills, funerals, crippled bodies
that cannot make a living, come
from wrong conditions that can be
made right.
DR.. Brydon says the colored peo-
pie in the State are interested and
anxious to learn just what they can
do. With such a spirit of co-opera-
ton continuing, our people will help
to do their part in making the
homes of our children safe to live
in, as we'll as help to protect the
homes of our neighbors.
Miss Vance, one of the Field
Representatives of the State Depart
ment of Health, will be in York
County this week in the interest of

paign.

REPUBLICAN ALDERMEN
MAY BE LED BY NEGRO
Two Harlem Delegates, Constituting
Half of Minority, Are Expected
to Reject Baldwin

City Hall discussed yesterday the
possibility that after January l the
leader of the small Republican
minority in the Board of Aldermen
may be one of the two negro Re-
publican members.
One of these, Fred r. Moore, is
publisher of The New York Age,
The other, John c.. Hawkins, is q
lawyer. Each represents in the
board a populous Harlem constitu-
ency. On December 81 each will
have served a full year as Alder
man.
Their two white Republican col
leagues in the board are John Clark
Baldwin Sd, who was named to sue
coed Mrs. Ruth Baker Pratt from
the "silk stocking" Republican Fiji
teenth District in Manhattan when
Mrs. Pratt went to Congress, and
Frank A. Manzella, elected last
Tuesday from the Twentieth Dis
trict in Manhattan, the home district
of Fiorello II. La Guardia.
In the past the minority leader
ship has been awarded on senior.
ity basis, it having been held for
some years by Alderman Frank
Dotzler, of the Sixth Manhattan
District, Samuel S. Koenig's district.
Dotzler failed of reelection. The
leadership actually is voted by a
caucus of the Republican Aldermen
and this year it is in doubt. 1t is
assumed at City Hall that the ne
groes will not vote for Mr.. Baldwin,
the choice of the Republican lead
ers. Mr.. Hawkins, especially, is said
to have resented his exclusion from
party councils.
If neither Mr.. Hawkins nor Mr..
Moore votes for Mr.. Baldwin his
election is, of course, impossible.
Mr.. Manzella's elevation, it is
thought, is impossible because of
his inexperience.
The salary of an Alderman is
$4,000 year. The minority leader,
on the other hand, receives $500 a
year and private office in City
Hall.

Gained 2S Pounds;

That's What Thin Run Down Atlantic
City Man Wrote

There are tens of thousands Of ex-
ceedingly thin men and women who
need more weight and need it badly.
Most Of these skinny people need
better health-more vigor and ener-
gy and something more that we all
strive to attain-a fresh, clean and
clear complexion.
One underweight woman, exceed
ingly thin, gained 10 pounds in %
days with McCoy's Tablets and
doesn't have to worry any more about
her figure.
Mrs. Alberta Rogers, thin, run
down and weak, ghiined 10 pounds in
six weeks and is thankful for Nc
Coy's.
Mccoy takes all the risk-Read
this ironclad guarantee. If after TAX
ing sixty-cent boxes of McCoy's
Tablets or One Dollar boxes any
thin, underweight man or woman
doesn't gain at least 5 pounds and
feel completely satisfied with the
marked improvement in health
your money will be returned.

AS TOLD TO A. NJ. SMITH.

DETROIT, Mich, August 31.-There
should be no unemployment of able
bodied, able minded people; the ma
chine age does not result in greater
numbers of unemployed; there never
will be time where there will not be
plenty of work to do. So says Henry
Ford.
Mr.. Fords attention was called to
certain statements, among them the
following: American stockholders are
increasing at the rate of about 10000
a year. labor-saving machinery is rapid
ly developing, the average workman can
now do with machine about five times
the work he formerly could, every such
machine throws an average of four men
out of production of the thing the ma
chine makes; of every 1000 men out of
employment it requires nearly year for
700 to get back into steady employment.
I'VE can go only by our experience"
Mr.. Ford said. I'VE find that improve
ment of production methods means
more jobs. not fewer. That has held
true for the last 20 years.
THE use of machinery Is increasing
and men are being released from work
that can just as we'll be performed by
machines. But don't forget that it re-
quires men to make the machines. II
machines are doing more and more Of
mans work it means that more and
more men are employed making ma
chimes.
"Of course, if you figure that we now
have all the industries we shall ever
have. then the possibility Of unemploy-
ment may become serious. But not only
will present industries become bigger,
industries unknown now will rise in
power and there will be plenty of EN-
ployment. I am sure of that. The one
thing that will make it sure is more
leaders. Most of our major industries
were unheard of 80 years ago. You
don't suppose that men have ceased to
create, do you?
Did Not Do Their Best.
"I'll tell you why the great majority
of men not at work today are in that
condition-it is simply because they did
not do their best while they had job.
"It would be a grand thing to have
national once-a-year DO Your Best
day and let everybody in the country
observe it-even at the table. trying to
eat the things they think they should
eat and in the amount they believe to
be the best. You would hardly recog-
nize the United States after one such
Gay. I don't mean DO Your Most
day. but do your best.
UNEMPLOYMENT is not excusable. I
do not mean the occasional man suffer-
ing from disability, or who is unem-
ployed through no fault or neglect of
his. I do mean the state of mind that
hangs back and waits for somebody else
to supply the job. If there are no jobs,
make one. There are always more
things to do than there are people to
do them.
Evening star., 1929-09-01

blame everything but themselves. It is
human nature. Yet everything that
is wrong is our own doing. They
used to blame politics if they were out
of a job. Now the fashion has
changed-the machine is the new tar
get for complaint. Yet if it were not
for machinery there would be next to
no employment anywhere today.
Couldn't Afford Handmade.
"Imagine trying to sell any OF our
modern convenienceS II they were
made by hand! People couldn't afford
to buy them. and away your employ
ment would go.
"The reason the machine Is used
is because it can turn out greater
quantity more accurately than could
be done before. and at much lower
cost than hand labor. But in the
process it employs hundreds Of thou
sands of men where handicraft would
employ only tens.
THE range of possible inventions and
discoveries not yet touched is, in my
Judgment, without any limit. 1t Is
a mistake to look upon our industrial
era as the end Of process development
or as the climax of production. We
are still in the Dark Ages, compare
lively speaking. Our stage OF develop
ment is very crude. The world hasn't
even commenced as yet, industrially
speaking.
Regarding the notion that because
more people are dabbling in stocks
than ever before. we are on our way
to become Nation OF capitalists. with
little or nothing to do except live on
dividends-that is mere clap-trap. You
can't live on dividends. You can live
by nothing but the products OF labor.
Expect Something for Nothing.
"People are still silly enough to ex-
pect something for nothing. but that
is not the way the world is made. The
living of this country is made where
men work, not where they trade.
II don't say a man doesn't some
times have a little difficulty in finding
Just the thing he would like to do. If
we all had our likes it would be a
strange world. But I do believe every
man can find his job, either by dis
covering it or by creating it.
Most men wait for others to create
their jobs for them. They are un-
employed, not because they can't find
a Job, but because they can't swallow
some foolish pride.
And maybe it would happen that
swallowing that pride would be the
beginning of their real career. 1t was
never more true than now-and I
mean this literally-that chances to
do things are waiting for takers.
And sometimes think that people
never bestirred themselves as little rs
they do now in thinking out their own
concerns"
