NEGRO PAPER.
RAPS NAACP.
TREASON TO 9.
Anger ofNegro Masses
Brings New Tone of
Militancy in Press

NEW YORK.-In the face of the
desperate attacks on the ScottSboro
Defense by the Southern boss lynch
erS and their white and Negro agents,
the mass fight to save the nine in
nocent Negro boys facing the cleo
trio chair in Alabama continues its
forward sweep. Daily it gains great
er mass character as additional
forces join the fight to smash the
murderous frame-up against the nine
boys To the angry protests of the
American working class is now added
the denunciations of the workers of
Germany, Soviet Russia and other
countries.
The militant voice of the interna-
tional working class is smashing
through the conspiracy of silence of
the capitalist press justs as the angry
protests of the Negro masses forced
the imperialiSt tools at the head of
the NAACP to pretend a fight to
save the boys while at the same
time continuing their treacherous
cooperation with the Southern
lyncherS. The boss papers have been
forced to report the demonstration of
German workers before the American
Consulate in Dresden. The New
York Evening World Telegram has
been forced to publish batch of
letters from its readers protesting the
frightful outrage, planned by the
Alabama landlords and capitalists in
their campaign of terror against the
Negro people.
Under pressure of the angry Ne
gro masses, hundreds of Negro
churches, lodges and other organiza-
lions headed by reformists have been
won to the fight to save the nine
boys. Mass anger against the traitor
GUS attacks ON the Scottsboro defense
by Walter White, William Pickens,
and other NAACP leaders continues
to sweep the Negro masses. This
anger is increasingly reflected in the
growing tone of militancy in many
of the Negro papers.

1t is also reflected in a growing

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. d.

rheumatism, whatever that may be, in
which subcutaneouS injections of para
thyroid extract produced extraordinar-
lily good results. Following that expert
mental case the French doctors used
the treatment on a dozen similar cases
and obtained similar results in all Of
them.
The immediate results of the treat
ment, which are manifest after the first
few infections, are a feeling of well
being, increased facility of movement
and greater f1exibility of the affected
joints.
This amelioration uniformly appears
in 20 or 80 minutes after the injection
and lasts IL hours. 1t is similar to the
effect of insulin injections in diabetes,
that is, the remedy is effective only so
long as the dose acts. But, just as
the insulin treatment of diabetes has
cumulative effect which is indirectly
the real object of treatment and may
be regarded as a gain in general meta
bolism, so in this parathyroid extract
treatment of long standing cases Of
arthritis benefit indirectly, and for
the same reason-it helps to improve
the patients general metabolism.
Thus, like insulin treatment, whether
for diabetes or for mere undernutrition,
we must regard this parathyroid treat
ment of advanced, disabling arthritis
as therapeutic encouragement. If
little is good, more is better-but it re-
quires the skill and knowledge of the
physician to know how little or how
much insulin to administer to one with
undernutrition or hyperglycemia or how
little or how much parathyroid extract
to administer to one with chronic pro-
gressive arthritis.

Decorating the house for a home
wedding presents one of the pleasant
est problems in connection with such
a festive occasion. If the celebration
is in the evening, artificial illumination
can be counted upon to add glamour.
There should be plenty OF light, but 1t
should be mellowed and never suggest
a glare.
Candles supply the most becoming
light that is known. Candle-light
bulbs give an illumination suggesting
them, as the name implies. Shades for
all lights should provide becoming
glows without casting any actual color
which would alter the shade OF gowns.
The main floral decoration should be
back of the officiating clergyman dur
ing the marriage ceremony and provide
a beautiful setting for the wedding cor
tege, both during the ceremony and
later when the couple and their at
tendants turn to face the roomful OF
guests. Just what these decorations
are depends largely upon whether much
or little Is expended and whether the
family, with the help of intimate
friends, arranges the flowers and foliage
or whether a florist does the work.
If home is so situated that flowers
from its garden and those OF friends
are available, the decorations can be
exquisite at little or no cost. Branches
from trees, sprays from shrubs and
any spreading foliage can supply .

Old Mother Nature.

Cocky the Road Runner and Mrs.
Cocky were very much upset. Yes,
indeed, they were very much upset.
Farmer Browns Boy had found their
nest. They had anXiously watched him
going from one patch CT chaparral to
another and peering into and through
each and looking into every lone cholla
and clump of cactus. They had kept
themselves well hidden. but never once
had they allowed him to get out of
their sight Twice he had passed the
place where their nest was hidden in
the middle of a cholla without seeing
it. He had at last started for his horse
to ride back to the ranch and they
had begun to breathe easier. Then he
had turned back for one more look and
this time he had found the nest. Do
you wonder they were upset? You see
they didn't really know Farmer Browns
Boy. He had stopped only long enough
to peep into the nest for glimpse
Of the four little Road Runners and
then had hurried away. Mrs. Cocky
sighed with pure relief. Thank good
ness, he has gone. I hope he never
comes back" said she.

Cocky. He made me nervous"
1T was all your fault" snapped Mrs

MY fault" exclaimed Cocky. What
are you talking about? What did I
have to do with it? How is it my
fault?"
Because you would show off and
have a race when he came along on

Cocky. IF you had kept out of sight
as I did he wouldn't have known that
We were anywhere about and he wouldn't
have come back here to look around
this morning. Just because you are a
good runner there Is no need for you
to show off before any one who hap
pens along. His finding of this nest
is no ones fault but your cwn."
It was true and Cocky knew 1t.
well, anyway, he didn't do any harm"
replied Cocky with surprising meek
ness.
He'll be back feel it in my
bones," declared Mrs. Cocky.
She was right. Very early on the
following morning Farmer Browns Boy
was back and for while he was very
busy close to that chollA where the
nest was, and Cocky and Mrs. Cocky
spent a half hour of such worry as
they had seldom known. Then he had

Household Methods
By BETSY CALLISTER.

II have a light blue silk crepe dress
that I have had cleaned twice. 1t Is
no longer very new, so I dod not like to
wash it instead. Other women know
have good luck washing dresses Of this
scrt. It Is simply made and has no
pleats, so it would not be difhcult to
iron. Will you please tell me the best
way to go about 1t to prevent the color
from running and to get the best re-
suits"
The worst thing to fear is that the
dress will shrink. There is little danger
that the color will run or fade In the
washing, as practically all silk crepes
are washable.
Remove buttons, buckles and other
such trimming from the dress. If there
are white trimmings, such as collars
and cuffs, these should be removed and
washed separately. Use warm, not hct
water, and mix some mild soap with
the water, but do not rub the soap
directly on the dress. II the water is
very hard you may use just little
borax in the rinsing water.
The dress should be rinsed two or
three times in tepid water and then
out in the hands. The dress should
be hung in an airy place out of the
sunshine and away from the fire.
The safest thing to do Is to let the
dress become completely dry before
pressing. Then work carefully on the
wrong side with an iron that Is not
very hot. Some people press silk
dresses when they are partly dry. This
is sometimes a satisfactory method,
but some silks show water marks when
this is done.
Remember always to press on the
wrong side and to use an iron that is
not hot enough to scorch the silk.
