Hays Asked to Keep
Birth OF A Nation
Out OF The South

ATLANTA. Ca, Feb. 18.-De-
cided opposition is developing across
the South to the showing in that Sec
ton of 1.-THE Birth of Nation
which it is understood has recently
been reissued as a talking film. Pro-
tests are being sent to Director viii
Hayes from various quarters, includ-
ing religious groups, missionary So
cieties, the Commission on Interra-
cial Cooperation, and various indi-
viduals and bodies connected with
that organization.
Among the most recent of these
protests is a letter which has just
been addressed to Mr.. Hays by a
prominent Southern churchman, the
editor of an important paper of wide
circulation, who requests that the
picture be kept out of the South,
on the ground that it tends ITO stir
up irritation and friction between
the races" The author of the letter
has been for some years prominent
as a volunteer worker in the inter
racial movement. The following are
extracts from his letter to Mr.. Hays:
Creates Hate
"Some of US have been for many
years exerting ourselves to promote
better relations between the two
races in the South. We believe that
we have met, and are still meeting,
with notable success. | am sure that
you and Governor Millikin and
others associated with you would
not deliberately put a straw in the
way of our effort, and would not de-
liberately undertake to revive inter
racial hostility"
Whether these protests will have
any effect does not yet appear. In
any case, however, they are signifi-
cant as Indications of interracial
good will.

Attack Integrity
As a further evidence of lack of
antipathy between the two races. it
is interesting to note that the whites
proceeded to attack the Negroes ra-
cial integrity as soon as they got
within reach. Says f. B. Reuter-. in
1.-THE American Race Problem:
Miscegenation of the Negro and
white people in America dates from
the first appearance of the Negroes
Neither the severity of the law
nor the intolerance of public senti-
ment seemed to have much effect on
the miscegenation of the races. They
prevented intermarriage rather than
race mixture.

Paul Robson, noted athlete, actor
and singer, was heard in concert
last night at the Metropolitan Thea
ter before a capacity audience. Ro-
beson is a superb baritone. His art
is not strained but is demonstrated
with an ease that leaves no room to
doubt the singer less than a genius.
Robson sings difficult opera with
the same ease he sings spirituals. His
Interpretation of Negro folk songs is
nothing short of marvellous.
A review of Robeson's artistry has
often appeared in these columns.
Among the numbers on last night
program winning great favor were
the renditions of "Water Boy" Odd

Captive" and isis and Osiris" The
singer was ably accompanied by

but rather a dance of joy. 1t is no
more and no less sexual than the

In answer to a question from Mr..
Viereck as to whether the dance with
Negroes does not emanate from a
more primitive life urge, DR.. Hirsch-
field replied:
Undoubtedly, but it has another
beneficent social function. Il is a
safety valve for the repressed desires
and ambitions of the Negro popula-
ton, a compensation for the humilia-
tons to which many of them are con-
demned daily through no fault of
their own. II their emotions could
not spend themselves comparatively

 What do you think will happen to Mrs Fowler?"
 "Oh, you can't tell. Trial may be put off good while. There seems to be a big public reaction in her favor. I should think she'd. get light sentence"
 Gypsy sat silent. It had been the most exciting morning of her life. To find the barrier between life and death so fragile, to face such trag edy left her exhausted. She gazed at Jim with new respect.
 They heard Nina's footsteps on the stairs and Gypsy went to meet her.
 'Luncheon's ready" she said. Shall we go in?"
 For two days Nina Roberts was guest in the Wallace home. Gypsy saw to it that she had plenty were constantly telephoning but aside from the typed statement Jim gave out at his office Nina was not quoted in the newspapers.
 There were household tasks which the girls shared together Nina romped with Pat. Over the telephone Gypsy made arrange- ments with the woman who Oper- ated Nina's boarding house to have the girls clothing packed and sent out. She gave the girl plenty of wholesome food. urged her to rest.
 Nina had announced that she wished to leave Forest City.

YOUR CHILDREN.
MNvKobey7sBal1ou
BY NfA SERVICE INC: (

Parents now recognize the need |of children for the companionship |of other children. True, there are some who can make a fairly good job of bringing up a child away from the contact of the crowd, in the company of adults, and there Are |even few good parents whose |children never even go to school but receive their education in the home at the hands of governess or tutor.
 But they are very few.
 I happen to have known some
 very excellent people who were
 brought up in this manner, and dld
 not mix with the world until they were, almost at maturity, but I have often wondered how they would fare If left to their own resources. Under 1t all are. they as we'll prepared for
 life in general as the people who
 have rubbed shoulders with their |feilow-m men from the cradle?
 Developing Social Being
 As few of us are hand picked. so to speak, this word of mine must concern the others. And for that matter. the mothers of that class which formerly segregated Its children j; are now recognizing the necessity of mixing. It is com- monly known now that our better instincts and our mental alertness, too. depend largely on contacts. Take generosity, for instance. Generosity does not mean always giving bite out of an apple. It
 means giving up one's- own way in many things.
 Children have to learn to give up at times, when playing with other children. If they don't they soon find out that the spirit of the crowd Is agains them. This spirit of the crowd'' in childhood repre- sents the spirit of the whole wide world later on and is more effectual lthan all the telling they get at home. A Lesson i'm life
 Suppose. in the little group there lis one child who is not so well. who cannot run so fast, who needs help. What lesson to our own little friend this is in sympathy, kindness and tolerance. Also in tact--for he learns, if the crowd is the right sort. that the other little fellow must never have his feelings hurt or
 know that he Is to be pitied.
 There will be the rough and ready children in the crowd, too. Very Iweil, that Is good for him. He will learn that life isn't any pillow-fight and he must stand up for his own rights now and then. He develops mettle and will.
 Games sharpen his mentality and speed up his muscles. He learns to cooperate in a little club. for instance.
 The solitary child is at sn un- Hair disadvantage and needs other children as much as he needs food. ] lexperiences early int life.
