1T SEEMS TO ME By HB BRo1S

Job of being a servant was funda-
mentally ignoble in spirit.
But there was a need of readjust-
ment and, here in New York. at any
rate, it has been the Negro who has
been chiefly responsible for raising
the standard.
Proud Nordics from the north of
Europe worked as cooks and maids
under conditions which a woman
from Harlem would not tolerate,
even though she we're starving.
OF course, certain World-Wise eco
nomic currents have been RESPONSE
bic for the creation Of living wage
in domestic service,
But it is the Negro woman who
has led the way in winning the
new freedom for the servant. She
has insisted that when her Job was
done she would go back to her own
home and return the next morning.
Not for her the rent-free room,
with its obligation Of being on con-
slant call to perform some task or
other while she was resting. Even
at great financial sacrifice colored
servants have held to this essential
innovation.

The very simplest cells known are certain one

Don't worry about that name because if you aren't
practicing biologist, you will probably have little
occasion to it,
Such plant consists of little microscopic drop

The simplest cell, therefore, consists of two parts
The exterior membrane is one. The pretoplasm with
in the membrane is the other
Such simple cells are very rare however. and it
is usually assumed that the typical cell has three
parts. The third is darker spot within the proto-
plasm which is known the nucleus
Most biologists today consider that every part Of
the cell the membrane the interior filling and the
nucleus. is protoplasm Consequently they use the
word cytosoe TO represent the interior of the cell
exclusive of the nucleus.
Our typical cell. therefore consists of membrane

At one time il thought that certain cells
lacked membrane. This thought to be true OF

however has shown that all cells possess membranes
Cells possess variety of shape Some are spher-

cells which resemble the branching Of tree.
Some types of cells are shown in the accompany

TINE leading editorial in an Ala

given over to high praise of Negro
citizen of the town. The article
mourned the passing of Jim Swift,
born a slave, and all his life the
servant of the Mallory family.
And the editor could not resist
the temptation of rounding off the
tribune with few mournful re-
marks about modern Negroes, which,
quoted from the Selma (Ala.l Times
Journal, added at least hint of
misgivings on its own account about
the passing of a type.
There is said the Times. "a

tive to irritants of any kind will
react with eczema to a small dose of
external irritant whereas a skin
that is not so sensitive will be able
to overcome the irritating dose.
The symptoms of eczema vary.
Sometimes there is itching; some
times the formation of blisters, and
sometimes dry crusts Each of
these conditions must be treated
according to the way in which it
appears in the individual who is
concerned.
For this reason it is hopeless to
rely in cases of true eczema on any

type or another, and that this type
of inflammation of the skin is en-
tirely different from the type of in
f1ammation that is due to factors
coming to the skin by way of the
blood
1t is believed that many of the
cases of eczema are due to some
special Sensitivity of the body to
various food substances or to BAG
terra and that the constitution of
the child, its heredity and similar
factors may be important in the
onset of the eruption
There is one type of child which
is oJerfat and which is likely to
break out with eczema. The condi-
ton is called exudative diathesis,
because of the tendency of the
pouring out Of fluid on the surface
of the body and in the internal
organs.
These children are especially like
ly to have eczema. The eating of
large amounts of fat and sugar
make the condition worse.
It is. of course, quite possible that

But the Negro of today couldn't
be old Jim Swift or Selma even if
he wanted to. 1t is quite beside the
point to ask colored man of our
generation to behave as if he be-
longed to a serial order which has
entirely passed away.
One might as we'll say to Alonzo
Parham. "You have no business go

The south would like to have the
Negro maintain a good-humored
servility toward the white man. If
this condition still existed, there
would be no need of klans and full
limitations.
Yet. why can't the southerners
see that this condition is impossible,

but does it go without saying that

What is there about a judges
order that calls for more than
compliance?
We feel at liberty to discuss actions
of the President, even if they involve
such delicate matter as foreign
policy.
We feel at liberty to discuss the
conduct of an official, no matter
how exalted his station.
We feel at liberty to discuss the
wisdom, or justice, of a law, not
only before, but after it has been
enacted.
When it comes to a court order,
however, the legal point Of view is
that we should remain silent, no
