Unsafe For Business

The assault upon Mr.. c. C. Spauld-
ing in a soft drink establishment
should help to wake up North Caro-
lima from false sense of security.
One of the country's foremost
men, a peaceful, law abiding citizen.

al gives him physical and mental
shock that might well prove per-
manently disabling.
The reason for this was that Mr..

For all this, the cowardly "Gene

would have been avoided.
! Evidence, however, has long piled
up proving that the South is unsafe
either for colored business or indi-

The fate of the Standard Life In

embarrass the National Benefit Life

The South is unsafe. Tuskegee

The country has too few Spaul-
dings to sacrifice any of them upon
the altar of race prejudice.

The Superior Nordic

Mr.. William J. Mahoney, white,
managing editor of the Montgomery
fAla.) Advertiser. reviewed the
Scottsboro case for the Baltimore
Evening. Sun on August Ia, in an
illuminating manner.
Mr.. Mahoney said:
'The average plantation col
ored person is a transplanted
savage, with the mentality and
unconscious cruelty of a child,
blind to reason and restrained
only by fear +. Southern iails
are filled with colored men held
on charges of murder and as
sault with intent to murder"
If true, what a confession, what a
reflection upon the civilization and
Christianity of these Southern white
people who, forced to free their
black slaves 81 years ago, still keep
their part of their community in
semi-savagery.
of evidence and the exacting of a
penalty" in the courts are not as in
exorable when the victims are col
ored.
In other words, the South has two
kinds of justice. Murder of col
ored person by a colored person
never ruffles a Judge. The court is
only concerned when colored per-
son murders a white person.
Editor Mshoney advises us that.

crime (ranel." He neglected to add
that no white man has ever been

(Southern) colored man who knows
his own age" Mahoney AYERS, who
here generalizes upon a subject upon
which he has only false information
or none at all.
Mr.. Mahoney's views are those OF
a typical Southern white. They re-
veal him as a man of no community
sympathy His black neighbors are
barbarians.
Thus is justified the double stan
dard of justice in the courts, the eco.
nomic and political bans.
Finally, the Mahoneys generalize

citation Stores) which are increasing
in number in Harlem. They are also
well established in a number of
southern cities, most numerously in
Montgomery, Alabama.
So much educational work has
been done by Mr.. Holsey that there
are no misconceptions as to what the
C. M. A. stores aim to do in an eco
nomic way. The system aims to or
ganize the buying power of Negroes
and convert it into Jobs. When that
is done neither the source of our
buying power nor it's stability will
be so uncertain as they now are.
If the women of the country
should sense the possibilities of this
movement to the extent that they
have already awakened to it in New
York, the next few years would wit

Science Is Re0i0ing Forgotten Nahve Foods

DEFORE the advent Of the white mans farm
- ing, the North American Indian lived well
on the plant life of this country, found bene-
fcial herbs and medicines, and even knew of
q plant which brought about intoxication.
With the spread of the white man, however,
with his imported types of food the native
food plants gradually fell into disuse and then
almost into oblivion. Recently, however, the
Department of Agriculture, through its Bureau
OF Chemistry, has been studying these native
foods. The results have been interesting and
have disclosed one fact, that food element
believed to be Of wide value in the prevention
OF diabetes has been allowed to go by the boards
because none knew of its advantage.
Many Of the plants once used by the abo-
rhymes contained a substance known as inulin
q name closely akin to insulin, which has been
used successfully In the treatment Of diabetes.
Inulin closely resembles levulose, which for
years considered sugar that was valu-
able in the treatment Of diabetes.
Modern civilization has made of the human
race q race of starch eaters because most of
the cultivated plants store up starch as re-
serve material. The starch, of course, Is SINH
lar to dextrose In its effect on the human sys-
TEN.
The study being carried on by the Bureau
OF Chemistry has revealed more than 600
plants indigenous to North America, which are
valuable as foods are not now cultivated These
plants will be made known to the general pub
lie when the work Is completed shortly
Among these plants are the prairie potato.
possessed Of thick skin, but less susceptible
to insect injury than the potatoes now culti-
waited. A wild ncorice has been found which
is a source OF the hcorice used in the manu-
facture Of candy and various pharmaceutical
compounds. Camas, plaE6 contain:2g large
percentages Of inulin, was once the Indians

could become highly intoxicated on an infusion
made from a small plant Of the cactus family
known commonly as dry whisky" This plant
provided an alkaloid which was as effective as
alcohol in producing intoxication.
In many sections Of the country plants COM
monty considered weeds are eaten and found
to be delicious. AS an example, the common
mikweed provides q real delicacy. The shoots
which come up overnight, much as asparagus
are picked when from five to seven leaves are
showing. These are cooked In the same man
ner as asparagus and are truly delicious. Pig
weed or lambs quarters is another weed which
serves as q green vegetable In the menus of

The research now being carried out Is ex-
pected to be Of value In pointing out delicious

interest.

Petroleum Industry
Gains in Efficiency

THE petroleum industry, which for time
appeared to abound in wasteful practices,
is in reality far along the road of efficiency
One of the latest steps is in the development
Of methods for recovering the vapors from the
stills which has been lost heretofore. This
vapor upon recovery and processing has pro-
duced an appreciable amount of gasoline, and
gasoline Of considerable volatility. The residue
of the vapors recovered after the removal of
the gasoline has been used for providing fuel
for the stills. Much efficiency has resulted
from this method, and its use Is being fairly
widespread.

EdgarBouAgnyLed d GarmedLite Through
Thousand and One Fights, but Died
From a Toy Pistol Bullet Fired by His
French Mar Bride

August Bouligny induced the French con-
sui general to send him to France with ship
load Of French reServists. Upon arrival at LIE
Havre he enlisted in the Foreign Legion for
the duration Of the war.
QOULLGNY was put into the I'd Foreign Regi-
- ment, and sent to the training camp at
Rouen, where first met him. He had pleas
ing personality, and Immediately liked him.
After few days at Rouen we were sent to
Toulouse and drilled there for a month.
The regiment arrived in the war zone at
Mailly-le-Camp, in Champagne, on october 2,
1914. Bouligny was promoted 70 corporal, quite
q distinction in the Foreign Legion. The regi-
ment was first under fire at Verzenay, Cham
payne, in mid-October, then marched farther
north into the Aisne, and occupied trenches
near Craonnelle.
The first American blood shed on a European
battlefield during the great war was on the
night of November a. 1914. Corpl. Bouligny
led his squad out shortly after nightfall, to
establish advanced outpost between the
lines. A German post already was established,
but Bouligny and his men drove them away.
Bouligny was shot in the knee and went to
hospital
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-11-08

Boulgny's wound was a clean one and after
a month in a hospital, he returned to the front
and was promoted to sergeant.
Bouligny was again wounded on June H. 1915,
this time by q stroke with q trench knife,
during brush with German patrol between
the lines near SiIery, Champagne. Bouligny
Drained his assailant with his rifle butt, had
the wound bandaged by his battalion doctor,
= and refused to go to the rear.
On the opening day of the great French Of
fensive in Champagne. on September IS. 1915,
Bouligny was gravely wounded by q large shell
fragment through the right groin, as he led his
section to the conquest of q German trench
near Souain. His commander proposed him
for the Military Medal, Frances most coveted
decoration, but himself killed later in the
offensive, before he could make sure of the
medal being awarded
DISCHARGED from the hospital late in jan
- uary, 1916, Bouligny went back to the
trenches around Lassigny In the Aisne, and
on up into the muddy Somme.
In the trenches at Belloy- -Santerre he
was wounded for the fourth time, on December
Is. 1915. This time it was by q German hand
