SAYS JOE
SIMPSON
The Barber Bill

Last week the Norfolk Jour-
nal and Guide carried an edito-
rial in it's editorial columns en-
titled North Carolina BARRIERS
Caught Mapping" in which the
Norfolk editor had the following
to say: "The BARRIERS of North
Carolina are awakening to the
realization that when the last
legislature enacted a measure
regulating BARRIERS and barber
shops something was put over
on them. That the BARRIERS were
not more alert, as were those OF
Virginia, is something not cas-
ily understood by the Journal
and Guide, especially in view OF
the high average intelligence of
many of the men in the business
in Tarheelia. The "health" as
poets of the measure were so
much stressed by it's propo-
nents that the BARRIERS lost
sight apparently of the features
that require:
Cd A registration fee of 50
per man for the first year and a
tax of So per man thereafter;
(2) That all apprentices shall
have six month in practical ex-
perience under a master barber
before he can obtain a license.
The upshot of the fee pro-
vision is that during the first
years operation of the a W
the BARRIERS paid to the bar
Der board $37,O0O.O0 in fees,
$4,000 of which was paid over to
the state health department
which furnishes a man to do
the inspecting. The board
and the Inspector are all white
men who are interested in
eliminating the colored proprie-
tors of shops which cater to
white trade and thereby elimin-
ating colored BARRIERS from
working on white trade"
Virginia BARRIERS should get
al object lesson from the sad
plight of the North Carolina
BARRIERS as pictured by Mr..
Young in this editorial and
should bend their every egort
and bring into play every device
known to them in a strenuous
effort to defeat this vicious piece
of class legislation when it comes
up in the next Virginia legis-
lature. i --
The Virginia BARRIERS must not
wait until few months before
the next legislature convenes to
begin to work on this important
matter, they should be whip
ping their organization into
shape and strengthening their
financial backbone, bolstering up
morale of the men and doing
what they can to influence as
many of the members of the leg
islature as they can in their fa-
vor by impressing them with
the justice and righteousness
Of their cause. This all impor-
tant work must not be delayed,
it must be done now.
The Virginia BARRIERS put a
gallant fight in the last legisla-
tllre, one which was commend

sition to know anything of the
work of their organization, they
therefore must not sleep at the
switch land let the excellent
work that they have done in the
not distant past be swept into
the abyss of forgotten things
during the sessions of the next
legislature.

On Being a Good Fellow
Chicago News

A former alderman departing from Chicago to serve
a sentence in a federal penitentiary for his participation
in a conspiracy to violate the prohibition law explained
with becoming resignation that he had got into trouble

thousands of dollars belonging to the village that elected
him to office, attributed his plight to the fact that he

The president of a bank in another western suburb,
now under heavy bond on account Of q shortage in the
banks funds that exceeds 100000. lays claim to having

This recommendation comes just when spring foot

N the fall. the coaches require players to give weeks and
even months to 1t In winter and spring.
At this distance from the important fall games it is

too little practice and training. and Of the need for
more Thorough preparation.
A basic trouble with American football Is that It Is

upon It. The theory Of an amateur sport Is that It is

PEAS, BEANS AND LENTILs

PEAS, BEANS AND LENTILS
Beans have been regarded by some
of the old schools Of dieticians "a one
of the finest substitutes for meat be-
cause they contain a'large amount Of
protein. When / first experimented
with dietetics I soon discovered that
while beans undoubtedly contain q
large amount Of protein, It is q form
that Is not readily digested and causes
flatulence even when eaten by
healthy people. and, Of course, nat
urally a great deal more gas with one
who has a disturbed digestion. This
seems to be because the large amount
Of starch contained throughout the
bean, and because Of q peculiar Gel.
lular construction which makes 1t
difficult for the digestive ferments to
penetrate into the protein Of the
bean.
There are a few exceptions to these
general remarks about beans. The
first Is the string bean which, when
taken young, before the beans have
fully formed, makes an excellent nom
starchy vegetable that can be used
in combination with any other food,
even by sick people. Another exccp-
ton Is the soy bean which contains so
little starch as to place 1t In the non
starchy group and for this reason 1t
has been used for . number Of years
In diabetic diets. It Il extensively
used as q food In China and Japan
and undoubtedly furnishes the prin.
cipal protein Of these nations. It has
not yet become popular in the United
States or Canada. Its protein is q
little more difficult to digest than
meat, but because Of It's small starch
content, 1t is quite q superior to the
ordinary navy beans, and may be
used in the same way that you would
combine any other protein food. The
soy bean has the advantage that one
can grind 1t into a flour and use 1t
for making biscuits, GRAVES and as a
breakfast cereal for those who must
remain on q non-starchy diet. An
other good bean which Is distinctly In
the advance Of the remaining legumes
is the lima. This Is because lima
beans are exceedingly rich In alkaline
elements, and consequently a very

Editorial Comment
One Censorship Is Enough
New York Herald-Tribunc)

NEW YORK Heralo-ITlbunc)
Five hundred and sixty distinguished gentlemen, in!
Guiding ministers, college presidents, editors, librarians,
authors and q group strangely classified as intellectual
leaders, have signed a memorial to congress protesting
against Senator Shoots effort to introduce a censorship
branch into the customs service and giving weighty 'rea-
sons for their opposition.
It does not seem to us that it should require $50 sigma
lures or very weighty arguments to convince congress
that the customs service has enough functions already
without asking 1t also to serve as q judge of literature.
Senator Smoot is reported to have spent hours ~plodding
through ~alegedly salacious books to find juicy excerpts

To Cure Bridge Violence
milwaukee Sentinel)

milwaukee ScOLlOcO
When Mrs. Colyer bid six no trump on 10 diamonds,
her husband. a man plagued by his excessive emotions,
hit her with a cut glass grapefruit bowl. The "crime
passionel." the French would call that. and they would
let Mr.. Colyer off with a warning. Here in America it
would be fairly easy to assemble q jury that would
acquit him.
But for all that, there is something wrong. The cases
OF assault and battery, the divorces, the murders even,
that are attributed to faulty bridge make Q long. dis
turbing list. Why is this?
In the marrow Of the matter rests the belief that q
good bridge player is gifted with intelligence beyond the
average. The reaction Of the good bridge player then
is fury over the stupidity Of the poor bridge player. To
be impatient of stupidity is a common characteristic. A
teacher may have difficulty in restraining her impulse
to box a dolts ears.
Now so long as superior bridge players think their
superiority Is based on superior intelligence, there will
be trouble. But If they can be taught that good bridge
playing IS merely a skill. which. like good knitting. or
basket weaving, is acquired from practice, not through
intellection, they will feel constrained to deal gently with
their miserable partners.
We suggest that all bridge players take an intelligence
test. Then when an alteration breaks over the table,
the defendant may demand a comparison of intelligence
quotients. The irate critic may discover that the object
Of his wrath Is his intellectual superior who has been
occupied with important matters that interfered with
his bridge practice.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
XIII or Cure

Question: j. A. Nj. writes: II
would like your opinion Of the fol-
lowing drink recommended by -
for breaking the cigarette habit:
Drink q quart, one glass upon arising,
for four days, equal parts Of pornc-
granate juice, fresh cider. orange and
lemon juice. Be careful when you
smoke, be somewhere where someone
can look at you because you may be-
come unconscious This seems sort
Of scarey, doesn't it?"
Answer: Such q mixture Of fruit
juices with various acids might be
quite upsetting to some people, but I
do not see why anyone should become
unconscious from adding a smoke to
that mixture. A more sensible treat
ment to cure the smoking habit is to
take q fast for q few days using only
one kind Of fruit, such as oranges or
apples. After a day or two the desire
for tobacco disappears.
Prunes and Rheumatism
Question: j. g. asks: SHOULD
rheumatic people eat prunes?"
Answer: The rheumatic patient
always has a poor bowel elimination.
Prunes help in overcoming constipa-
ton SO should therefore be used in
diet Of one who is trying to get over
q rheumatic toxicoSiS. I understand
the theory you refer to about prunes
being a cause Of rheumatism because
Of their acid content. Such acid as
the small amount found in prunes
has no effect on the rheumatic pa
ttent. providing the rest Of the diet is
balanced properly.
Blood Test
Question: A. j. asks: Can the
parentage Of q child be determined
by blood tests OF any other method?"
Answer: The blood tests are not
reliable for determining the parent
age of a child, but this method will
sometime determine whether q per-
son is not q parent of the child.

strong digestion, but not nearly as
much as some Of the other dry beans.
Lima beans may also be ground into
q flour and used in biscuits IL one de-
sires. although it must be remem-
bered that they contain quite a large
amount Of starch. When eaten they
should be soaked overnight and we'll
cooked so that the particles Of cellu-
lose are thoroughly softened to per-
nit the penetrating of the lima di-
gestive fluids. Lima beans may also
be used In the green state in which
case they need not be soaked over
night. but used as q fresh, starchy
vegetable at q non-protein meal.
There are no other beans which I
would recommend for the average
diet.
Other legumes closely related to
beans are peas, grabanzos and lentils.
Peas are . wholesome food II used in
the green state and are not as gas
forming as beans. They are q starchy
food and when used should only be
combined as you would starches. II
you like, the green fresh pods may be
cooked with the peas. Lentils are
one Of the most ancient Of foods used
by man, but they are somewhat like
beans, difficult to digest unless they
are finely ground or mashed. Ora
banzos contain q large amount Of
protein and as much as 6 per cent Of
fat. They are the principal protein
food in Spain and northern Africa.
They are like beans. difficult to digest
and should not be used by those with
weak digestions when other better
forms Of protein are available. They
are, however, quite alkaline forming.

Real Travelling

Travel. II the old saying is to be believed, broadens
the mind.
This may be so and it may not; but one thing, at least,
Is sure. You can get q great deal more fun out Of your
travels If you put your mind in the right mood before
you start out.
BY that. Of course, we simply mean that the traveller,
be his journey long or short. sees only what he wants to
see. II when he sets forth he gets in shape to see un.
pleasant things and disagreeable people he will see them
in abundance: and II he prepares to see things that will
delight him. he viii be delighted.
Here's an illustration:
Suppose that you start on . railroad journey Of several
hundred miles. During that journey your train will whirl
you through miles Of open country, through several large
cities and through . multitude Of small towns and VII
lagos. There viii be stretches Of open country that are
monotouous and dreary. and there will be places that are
almost disquieting In their beauty: and the picture that
lodges the most deeply In your mind will depend chiefly
on the kind Of mind you have.
II you're feeling bored. dispirited and generally out Of
sorts with yourself and the rest Of the world, youll
remember only the dull stretches. II you're feeling
cheery, hopeful and contented you'll remember the beauty
spots: more, you'll be able to zee beauty even in the dull
stretches
The same thing holds good Of the cities and towns.

road. are apt to Be rather shabby and depressing; and II
