IT'S NOT
"just a fOrmality''

When fast aker says the written contract is ust form
aty merely red tape" doesn't anything" then STOP
look and think.
Take time and read the contract before you sign
Don't be misled into thinking your signature is unimportant
It's the most important thing you verbal representa-
tons different from the terms of the contract don't sign!
Reputable business institutions want the people with whom they
deal investigate read and understand their obligations
they put their signatures the dotted line This avoids later
misunderstanding and hearaches and builds good will for
business.
READ BEFORE YOU SIGN!

"THE DOORWAY TO HELL"

When big business methods
were adopted by gangsters and
racketeers of the underworld,
gang crime suddenly became one
of Americas greatest problems.
Organized crime became the
terror of citizens and city offic-
ials. The lawless gangs became
too big and operated with too
well-oiled machinery to cope with.
What has happened since big
business methods were introduced
into a big city's underworld is
wildly depicted in "The Doorway
to He'll" the Warner Bros. and
Vitaphone melodrama of rackets
and racketeers at the National
Theatre next week.
Open warfare machine gun
tattles and the organized systems
of the vicious racRets with killer
leaders at their head-all are pro-
trayed in this dynamic film. And
through this maze Of crime is
woven a love story deep in raw
human emotions between a youth
full gangster and a woman who
took him only to betray him.
Lewis Ayres heads the cast Of
"The Doorway to He'll" as the
baby-faced gangster-killer. Doro-
thy Mathews plays the girl. Char
les Judels, Leon Janney, Robert
Elliott, James Cagney, Kenneth
Thomas, Jerry Mandy, and Noel
Madison complete the cast. Archie
Mayo directed. Rowland Brown
wrote the original story and
George Rosener the dialogue.

Says Negroes Came To
America Before Columbus

Lynchburg, Va. (ANP) Lorenzo
J. Greene, research investigator
for the Association for the Study
of Negro Life and History, ad-
dressed the teachers and students
of Lynchburg Theological Semi
nary, at Lynchburg, Virginia,
Tuesday. Mr.. Greene told his au-
dience that tn widespread igno-
rance the world over concerning
the Negroes past, the omission OF
anything credltable concerning
Hun In text books and ouner III
eraGure, the wIiIluI suppression o.
known 1acts, and the engineering
OF deliberate propaganda undei
the gulse OF history calculated 70
demean and to deDase the Negro
not only in the eyes OF the
world, put of the Negro himself,
has made the study anu circulation
OF the real facts OF Negro history
Imperative.
Mr.. Greene refuted many ac-
cepted but erroneous theories con-
corning the Negro, mucn to the
delight of his listeners. DE dis
PEELED the notion that the Negro
had his beginnings in slavery by
narrating the rich heritage OF the
Negro in Africa before the des-
truction of the great Negro
kingdoms there following the be-
ginning of the slave trade. He al
so took issue with the current
theory that the Negro has always
lacked pioneering spirit, by
pointing out that recent lnvestl-
cation has shown that Negroes
actually visited America long be-
fore Columbus and had left here
as evidence of their coming SUCH
highly priced commodities as cot
ton, tobacco, and yams. 1t is al
so common knowledge, the
speaker added, that Negroes &C
companied all the Spanish ex-
plorers in their colonization OF
North and South America. They
were with Pizarro in Peru, with
Cortez in Mexico, De Soto upon
his discovery of the Mississippi,
with Ponce De Leon in Florida,
and with Coronado in New Mex.
leo, Arizona, and other parts OF
what is now the Southwestern
United States.
The speaker further stated that
the theory that the Negro cannot
compete Intellectually with the
white race is an idle shibboleth
founded upon prejudice and lgno-
rance alone. To disprove such ne
recalled Negroes who had excelled
in various fields of endeavor.
Among them he ranked Sebastian
Gomez, the great Spanish Negro
painter, in the same class with
Raphael and Leonardo dl Vlncl'
called Matzeliger, the Negro m
ventor of shoe machine, in the
same breath with Fulton and Gut
enberg, regarded Juan Latino, and
Antar the equals of either Goethe
or Byron in the field of poetry,
and placed Essadi, the Negro his
torian, in the same classification
as McCauley or Bancroft.
Both the teachers and students
listened in rapt attention as MIR.
Green unfolded the story of Ne
gro achievement.
