Wheat Closes Higher

At the close wheat was Is to Ia
cents higher, corn was unchanged
to q cent lower and oats were Il
to g cent higher. Provisions were
weak.
A slight betterment in the Ster-
ling exchange gave Liverpool 7s
to IS pence lower close, equal to
unchanged to 4 cent down. A pri-
vate expert estimated winter wheat
acreage at 14.8 per cent below last
year, or 6,260,000 acres, the smallest
since 1913. Buying in the late
morning was of good character.
Cash prices were unchanged. Re-
ceipts we're II cars.
Cash Corn Lower
Corn dipped fractionally on the
action in wheat at the start but
did not show the same amount of
recuperative power, standing p to
"a cent lower at mid-session. Re-
ceiptS were slightly larger and this
was considered bearish, suggesting
a possible increase in the move
ment. Colder weather in the north
west is likely to improve the cash
demand from that section. Cash
prices were unchanged to q cent
lower. Receipts were 116 cars.
Oats lost a minor fraction at the
start with the major grains. The
market remained unchanged to Il
cent lower early in a dull session.
Cash prices were unchanged. Re-
CeiptS we're Is cars.

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Wheat shook
of the depressing influence of the
stock market, at least for the time
being, on the Board of Trade to-
day and scampered upward for
nearly a full cent gain under the
influence of news rapidly turning

Eastern houses were on the buying
side after a week of selling.
Export sales we're small but in
quirieS were more numerous with

recovered with wheat, but was
draggy. Oats rose above the previ-

Volume Picks Up

The stock market increased in
activity as the close neared and
stock after stock plunged down. A
few met support on selective in
vestment buying, but this was not
sufficient to turn the trend.
Rallying tendencies in the after
noon were led by the railroad
group. Various reports on the
railroad wage meeting at Chicago
and agreement among executives
on a credit pool to aid weaker
roads brought in short covering
and the entire carrier list was
brought above the previous closing
levels.
Late in the day private reports
from Chicago indicated the rail-
road workers would not accept a
pay cut. That meant, observers
said the roads would give a thirty
day notice on Monday that wages
would be cut Is per cent.

EDITORIALS
Whose Ok Is Gored?

The editor of New York's II Pro-
gresso Italo- Americana has begun a
campaign in behalf of his fellow
citizens of Italian parentage.
Daily papers make a practice OF
placing the adjective Italian after
names of persons figuring in crime
news.
II Progresso objects to this. 1t de-
clares that it is sufficient to print
the names alone without any identi-
fication of race or origin.
ii Progresso is right. A Jewish
criminal is not so labelled in the
daily press. We do not read about
Irish cops raiding Spanish or French
American dance palaces .sr piling up
nude German Gretchens in the patrol
wagon.
This Italian paper makes the point
that the few Italian criminals ought
not to be mentioned so as to bring
reproach upon the large group oil
industrious and law abiding Italians
With this the Enterprise is in alb
solute agreement and while we are
about it, we might ask II Progressc
whether it won't hereafter omit al
references to NEGRO" or ''colored'
in it's own columns.

Colored Merchants
Name Holsey Pres

NEW YORK. CITY-Fifteen lead
ers in the nations business, half of
them white, met Tuesday in the
Chrysler building and the first bust
ness meeting of the National Col
ored Merchants Association Stores,
Inc, which is the nucleus of ma
tion-wide voluntary cooperative
system of grocery stores, owned and
operated by Negroes
Retail grocers who join the c. M.
A. will have uniform store fronts,
window symbols, window trims, mer-
chandising services, local and nation
al advertising campaigns. and store
equipment. Field representatives
will instruct members in store ar
rangement, record-keeping and sell
ing methods. Negro Housewives

sections, will be extended to include
all sections where C. M. A. stores
operate. The policy of ownership
of retail stores. The organization
will help those already in business
and encourage others who desire to
establish stores.
At present there are over 270
c. M. A. stores, and their growth is
just starting. The volume of bust
ness the chain may eventually con-
troll is illustrated by survey made
by the National Negro Business
League, which disclosed that the Me-
groes' annual food bill is approx
nately 100000, 900.
Offices of the National c. M. A..
Stores are located at 145 West 41st
street, in the Calvert building.

One Vote

Doubters who have questioned the
wisdom of having only one repre-
sentative in legislature or in Con-
gress may learn lesson from Hi
nois. q "
There last week the state senate
voted 26 to "a for bill repeating
the states dry laws. The deciding
vote was cast by Senator Adelbert
Roberts, of Chicago, a personal dry,
who voted wet because, he said, he
was casting vote for the people he
represented, not for himself.
Few people care what Mr.. Rob-
erts, the individual. thinks, but as
state senator with the pivotal vote
in his hands which determines the
policy of an entire state. Mr.. Rob-
erts becomes an important person
age.
Our country is so accustomed to
having the Negro ask for something
that it is good thing ito turn the
situation around and have men like
Senator Roberts, Congressman De-
Priest and scores of legislators and
councilmen, whose views and votes
become highly d esirable when
''things get tight"

Birth Control

Too many Negroes are born each
year, too many are sick, and too
many die, according to Professor
Newell l.. Sims of Oberlin in the
current issue of Opportunity maya
zine.
Professor Sims thinks that colored
people would get ahead faster, if
there weren't so many of us, and
therefore he advocates birth control.
A committee of the Federal Coun-
Gil of Protestant Churches agreed
with Professor Sims last week in its
report on marriage, in which it gave
its approval to birth control as an
aid to the health of mothers and to
the proper spacing of children.
According to the committee, the
Bible is silent on birth control but
recognizes as right sex unions be-
tween husbands and wives as an ex-
preston of mutual affection without
relation to procreation.
Lutheran and Catholic prelates
fastened to contradict the commit
tees views.
Quoting the Pope, Bishop John
Dunn of New York said that the
conjugal act, if not designed to be-
get children, is wrong and hence,
birth control is wrong.
When experts disagree, laymen
may be expected to follow the ad-
vice of either. However. we venture
to assert that the rule will be large
families for the poor and the ignor-
ant. small families for the rich and
intelligent.

Stop This

A man from Texas claims to have
found an ape woman in the Belgian
Congo. He is bringing it to the
states to be exhibited as a freak
The theory is that this strange crea.
ture-if she does exists the off
spring of native African woman
and an ape. 1t is suggested that the
woman was probably captured by the
ape and carried off into the jungles
Physical descriptions of this crea-
ture give to it attributes of both the
human race and that of the ape. In
body it was part ape and part wo-
man.
There is no telling how accurate
this story is from this great distance
But out of t all this much is true
Such creature must not be shown
in the United States. 1t will serve
only to intensity the propaganda
against colored people.
And the fact that it is to be
brought back by a Texan certainly
does not help the matter.
If any creature exists it could
have been born of any woman. But
that It was colored woman, (be-
cause of the fact that it was on Afri-
can soil) would only to serve to Gre
ate the accusation that the status anC
intelligence of the race were that OF
the apes Such ridiculous twaddle
must be stopped.
