To All Correspondents

Those who write in wanting Red sp~ks to
answer this or that point should include their
name and address-and, even better, postage
stamp-as we are unable to reply to everything
asked of us in the column itself
What you ask you see, may be of Importance
to you, but not to others. And there is such a
multitude of things to discuss in the column
that we cannot perhaps give space to your
special point. Some points require a long an
swer, or reference to sources where the CORE
spondent can find what he or she wants {
know.
For example, Bertha j. of Boston recent
wrote us-without giving any address-asking
question about the capitalist crisis which
qures lengthy article to explain ADEQUATE.
She will find such an article in the magazir
"The Communist International" Vol. VIII, No
8, price 10 cents, Workers Library Publishers
SO East 18th St, New York. In fact, there are
two articles on the question in it.

he wanted one hundred and ten dollars So we
collected that much and gave it to him but he
never did defend those boys He just told them
to plead guilty and to get life. He just plain
railroaded them to the electric chair. There are
two other boys besides mine only fourteen years
but with Roy they declared it a mistrial because
he is only fourteen. They was afraid to send
him to burn in the chair.
THE newspapers never did tell the whole
story and they just lied about everything They
didn't want any one to know that three bows

Eugene Williams and my boys was friends and
they started off together TO Memphis but they
never did see the other five boys till they saw
them in Jail You see the police Just went
through the train and picked up all the poor
Negro boys on the train. That's how come there
was nine boys picked off the train and all of
them framed up to burn on July ten.
We'll we all told Roddy that he just took
our money and never did nothing to defend our
boys but just sent them to the chair. The man

We won't attempt to give the bill OF fare: 1t
is too overwhelming. There's lot more than
just dancing, anyhow; and we feel more kindly

HERE is HOW TO SAVE LIFE,
Health Leagues Simple Don't May Ak
You In Giving Service.

Summer camping trips, jaunts thru
the woods and other warm weather
activities, pleasant and beneficial as
they may be, are not without some
accidents. Sometimes the "Donts'
are more important than the DOS,
according to the Health league OF
Washington. Here are some of the
things not to do:
Don't let the patient sit up after an
accident; lay him flat, slowing the
heart action.
Don't let bleeding limb hang
Raise the bleeding part higher than
the heart so as to lower the blood
pressure.
Don't disturb blood clots. They are
natures protection to stop bleeding.
Don't fail to keep patient warm
Blankets, hot water or friction may
be used to keep up the temperature.
Rub the bare skin toward the body
except in opium poisoning; let the
patient sleep.
Don't allow crowd to gather.
number of persons around the patient
excites him and shuts out the air.
Don't fail to get an injured person
to a physician as soon as possible
These simple admonitions may save
a life.

Needless to say, he got the order.


And as someone remarked the other
day "That was wonderful summer
we had last Wednesday, wasn't it2"
Well. we should crab about the
weather, we're not dying OF the heat,
anyway, and It's easier to work when
It's cool.
And Just as began thinking Of the
why's and the wherefors OF my new
bedspread and curtains, who should

used to sew for us In the shop And

and do my sewing for me- You should

quilting. doubt If many people
know how it's done. It takes nine
yards Of fifty inch material to make
a spread for double bed, that is
long enough to come over the pillows
and wide enough to come down al
most to the floor on the sides. The
two side widths have a piece taken off
each one, the full length. If you don't
wish the spread quite SO wide, six
yards is sufficient. Split the second
width, and stitch half a width on each
side Of the center panel. After this
is stitched together, lay the material
wrong side up on large table. Cut
a pattern out Of paper In diamond
shape, 10 Ia inches long by Q 10
inches wide. Lay this on the center
fold of the middle panel and trace.
From this start continue with yard
stick the penciled lines all over the
material. It is now ready to stitch.
Purchase three 6o-yd spools of
crochet cotton, No. S, in whatever
color YOU desire, and mercerized sew
ing thread Of the same color. Thread
your bobbin with the crochet cotton
and your needle with the thread. Try
the stitch on another scrap of cloth
until you get 1t adjusted the right
length to make the stitching smooth
Now stitch your spread, following the
lines drawn. The bobbin of heavy
crochet cotton will appear on the
right side of the material and give a
lovely raised effect for pattern.
After the stitching is done, line the
spread with sateen. The sides may be
scalloped, and bound with color of
material like the quilting, if a par
ticularly beautiful effect is desired.

Riley Figures in Dramatic
Tale of Early Chicago.

Chicago.-For forty-two years Chi
cagO's map department has possessed
a living, breathing receipt for the at
las of the Town of Lake, annexed in
1889. The receipt is John D. Riley,
who will soon celebrate his silver an
niverSary as chief of the department.
Back of this lies a series of events,
dramatic, romantic, humorous, and
tragic.
In 1887, ChicagO's area was only 80
square miles. In that year the idea
of celebrating the anniversary of Co
lumbuS' discovery of America became
a lively issue among American cities.
Chicago wanted that exposition but
lacked the land upon which to stage
it. Carter Harrison was mayor. He
called together a group of men of
courage and vision, and they planned
subtly and big.
Immediately began a campaign
amidst five great communities sur
rounding Chicago. which resulted in
the annexation in 1889 of part of the
Town of Cicero and all of the Town of
Lake. Town of Jefferson, Village of
Hyde Park and City of Lake View.
With only SO square miles of terri
tory. Chicago annexed more than 49,
square miles. Meanwhile Carter Har-
rison had been defeated for reelection
and De Witt Creiger had became
mayor of Chicago.

went TO Washington, appearing before

But in the meantime John D. Riley,

had been having his troubles. When
the Town of Lake was annexed 1t be-
came his duty TO deliver it's atlas to
the City of Chicago.
Chief of Chicago's map department
at that time was the Baron Roderick
Won Manstein of Germany.
Baron Won Manstein was bit can
tankerouS and extremely stubborn ana
dignified. When John D. Riley arrived
at the city hall with the atlas of the
Town of Lake, the baron was in bad
humor. Mr. Riley requested receipt.
The baron said mo and having said
no" his dignity would not permit him

Atoms Take Journeys

Atoms, even the heavy atoms of
lead, are wanderers. Prof. ]. G. Won
Hevesy of the University of Fret
burg in Breisgau, Germany, has been
investigating their properties. Lead
atoms are constantly in motion, even
in solid metal. he believes. In an
alloy Of lead and gold, at tempera-
ture half again as high as that of
boiling water, the atoms wander
through space of hundredth of a
cubic inch in day. When there is
nothing but lead in the lump, how
ever, moving about is not nearly So
easy; in pure lead an atom can mi
CRATE in one day through space of
one to two ten-billionths. of a cubic
inch.

Good Health Is

But you can't expect to enjoy good

of disease organisms which must be
attacked and destroyed if good
health is to be restored. These and
many other more serious types of in

health restored by chemically de-
