While Hoover Plans

While President Hoover plans for
world peace and disarmament, ia
pan and China square Off to fight
as Russia oils up her guns and
stands in waiting. AT the same time
the English colonies are expressing
mutinous opinions and smaller ma
lions show unrset President Hoov-
er permits the Tenth Calvary to be
disbanded and cuts down the naval
appropriation. He may find regret
for both. Peace is beautiful idea
and some day we will have peace
and there will be no Jim-Crow
armies and navies but Mr.. Hoover
might well see that society is not
yet ready for peace and in the days
to come the gallant colored soldiers
may be needed again. Come what
will or may the colored people, in
spite of insult and injury, will line
up with the flag. For this loyalty
and patriotism we will some day
be rewarded, but not during Hoov-
ers reign.

gage burning exercises. Addresses of

ing Star Lodge by John T. Rhines,

Reporter Finds
Original Meat
Skin Peddler

ST LOUIS, MOTOR years the
meat skin peddlers have been crying
their crisp curly tasty, baked meat
skins seasoned with barbecue sauce
and sold in bags for five cents. 1t
is real money making idea, but
even newspapermen and women
often ask. the question: who first
started it?
A rambling reporter here whose
sole Joy is to ferret out queer
things while recording the human
spectacle finally found the inventor
of this strange but profitable idea.
1t proved to be Eddie Smith and his
wife at 2036 Market street.
Twelve years ago." Smith began,
81 worked at packing house rend-
ering meat. After the lard was
rendered, these crispy skins were
left and men enjoyed munching
them even then. From that Incl
dent, it occurred to me that it
wouldn't be bad idea to sell them
and / know now that 1t was good
one as we sell more than 800
pounds of skins a day. OF course,
Smith added, ''our process keeps
the skins crackley instead of tough
like those who have long since gone
out of business"

The frantic mother and her two lit

had not even the means to transport
themselves over the twenty miles, to

appeals for his wife to come to him.
Sympathetic neighbors finally collec-

her husband had been bound as a
raving maniac to his prison cot. And
as she sat with her two little boys,
waiting on the front porch of the
prison, they brought out the father
of the family and to her they de-
livered him-dead.
At last reports, the colored peo-
pie of the community were aroused"
that is, they were taking up money
to offer bit of temporary relief to
this bereaved woman and these
fatheress children, and also to pre-
pare for the dead a recent funeral
service, through which they no doubt
sat fearful and sang:
Praise God from whom all bless

Pope Plus Receives
Ethiopian Students

ROME.-His Holiness, Pope Plus
XI inaugurated two structures in
Vatican City-the Ethiopian College
and the Palace of the Governor of
Vatican City.
Twenty-four students from the
Ethiopian College of Casamari near
Naples, comes to participate in the
official Inauguration of the Ethio-
plan College in Vatican City, were
received in audience by the Holy
Father. One of the students read
an address of homage, expressing
the hope that those present would
be the advance-guard of many reli-
gious who, through the Ethiopian
College, would save Abyssinia for
Catholicism.
Pope Plus thanked the students,
rejoicing in the renewal of the most
glorious religious tradition of Eth
opia, which remained Christian in
the midst of a Mussulman inunda-
ton, despite that schism had
broken its Christian unity. From
this marvellous resistance, the Holy
Faher drew hope that the Gatho-
lie faith will again flourish in
Ethiopia.

given DR.. John w. Davis, member
of the Presidents Organization on
Unemployment Relief, following his
canvas of the nations leading cap
tains of industry. Mr.. e. F. Carter,
vice-president of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company,
which employs thousands of Negro
workers in many of its branches,
in a letter to d. Davis, gave def
mite understanding that his COM
pany would keep as many of its
employees as possible and that there
would be no discrimination on the
ground of race.

Telegraph Company" wrote Mr..
Carter lis endeavoring to the best
of its ability, to distribute all work
that is now available among those
normally employed. in so far as it
is practicable to do so to prevent a
decrease in employment. This policy
relates to all employees regardless
of race"
Mr. Carter's statement followed
the statement of George Sloan, pres
ident of the CottonTextile Institute
last week, who gave similar assur-
ance that Negro labor would receive
impartial treatment from his COM
pany Dr. Davis expressed confid-
ence this week that the employers
of the largest numbers of Negro
labor would all adopt this fair
minded policy during the present
economic crisis.

Thanksgiving

On mountain top, on plains broad
sweep
On hill and vale, in valleys fertile
deep,
The peoples of earth to rejoicinS
give way,
For back to us on the wings of time
is glorious Thanksgiving Day.
Garnered are the golden fields of
grain,
The fruit no longer hangs in blood
red profusion from the bough.
The swallows have flown to their
southern CLINE;
The hearts of earth in silent unison
proclaim it's Thanksgiving time.
Here and there are sluggards few,
Who sang and played the summer
through
In fruitless effort at close of day
To improve the hours that were
whiled away.
The wear grows old--let all who
know the JOY of living
Turn from their daily toll and pause
For one of true Thanksgiving.
To whom must We turn with thanks
for the grain.
For the fruit of the vine and tree;
Who must we thank for comforts of
life
Poured out so bounteous and free?
We search all earth for the power
who gave
Such blessings as we've received.
But none is found who could battle
with dew
The dry and thirsting leaves.
So o. last we turn with thanks to
HIM
From whom all blessings flow:
The earth and all the fullness there
Of.
And THANKSGIVING with its snow

woman of the Isle of st. Nevis.)
Hamilton, says one biographer,

Mr.. Pickens as saying, my blood

plume themselves upon their an
cestry."
Hamilton" he continues, "Was a
Negro according to the definition
accepted in our day. That is, he was

We Ask Bishop GREGG

Bishop J. A. Gregg, addressing
Annual Conference recently, is quot
ed by the Kansas City Call as fol
lows:
II have no time for drunken
preachers; the pulpit is no place for
them; a man who cannot control
his own appetite Is not competent
to lead Others"
Perhaps Bishop Gregg does not
read the papers, so we advise him
that his colleague, Bishop r. A.
Grant, of the Alabama area, was
arrested last week on the charge
of bastardy. The press of the coun-
try carried photostatic copies of the
contract signed by Bishop Grant in
which he agreed to pay the 19-year-
cld-girl-mother, who accused him,
the sum of $4,000.
1t is just possible that Bishop
Gregg did not know all of this
when he paid his respects to preach
ers who drink. However, he knows
now, and knowing. maybe he will
say word about the need of bish-
OPP controlling their appetites and
maybe he will even say word pub
licly about the competency of Bish-
OPP Grant whom the church raised
to the office of apostle and charged
him with the keeping of its sacred
honor.
So we ask him: Bishop Gregg,
does the Bishop Grant $4,000 baby
contract meet with your approval?"

Everybody's Depression

well, this is not my depression"
a man who is drawing a pre-depres-
sion salary in a fairly secure job
told this writer this week
Fortunately this opinion is not
held by the majority of those whom
the depression has not hit, but it
serves to emphasize an argument
about the present condition in the
world which thinking people must
come to realize This argument is
that this is everybody's depression
If everybody did the right thing
for the next thirty days this depres-
sion would all but disappear Mind
you, we say Everybody.
Although everybody agree that
the Hoover administration could do
more than it is doing to solve the
economic problems-as. for instance,
correct the high tariff evil-the
Hoover administration alone cannot
completely solve the problem. The
coming election is not going to
bring a panaeea. Even if the rich
men of the country pour capital
into industry and start more wheels
to turning, that alone would not
solve the industrial problem, for the
rich men alone could not consume
the factory product. This is one de-
preston, the solution of which de-
ponds upon every citizen in this
country who is working and draw
ing any kind of pay doing his bit
to solve the problem.
Whatever you can do to increase
the number of jobs for men and
women is your share of the depres-
sion solution. Giving to charity is
the immediate need as a palliative.
but increasing jobs is the only real
solution,
Those who are wealthy should go
the limit in employing help But
so also should the family who can
spare a dollar week for some ex-
ira employment go this limit Have
somebody come and do the little
extra work if you can possibly spare
the money. This is no time to hold
back 1t is no time to feel that III
all the OTHER people in your com
munity or in the country do their
part the problem will be solved
IT will not be solved unless every
body gets the prosperity spirit
Figure on what you can do in
the next six months to increase
jobs and take for granted that
everybody else is going to have
sense enough to do the same thing.
