HERE'S A DEVICE INTEND
 ED FOR SAVING GOLD

A device for extracting mineral bearing sands, or "pay dirt" from beds of streams where they are at freshet or flood stages is the subject of a patent just issued by the United States Patent Office to John v. Row ley, of Fortuna, Calif.
 Troughs having screens across their open tops are buried in the bed rock below the stream, according to the patentee's description filed with the patent office. The "pay dirt" moves by gravitation or is pumped along the troughs to the side of the stream, where it is in position to be carried away from the stream so it may be snbejcted to extraction pro- 'tesses.
 l., The two troughs or -condHits" en,- bodied in the device extend along the bed 6f the stream in a general bank to-banksdirectien. They are inclined .doRnwardly from the horizontal to convey the material to another con- duitrphlced at right4angles to them. This conduit, which may parallel the stream tara,a, short distance, finally lhringsz the deposit sto~a- position for remav8l.
 The specifnatinnssaese1lbe:the the con- duits. as being made of concrete, but state they maybe constru cted from 8 different. material witho1a. departing from the .spirit.and sscone Q 1.-the in- vention.
 "Insthe .i.astallation of, p siaeans of this character the plant must neces- sarily meee the -iocal~conditions," the patentee~ states. s"The preferred method is to construct the conduits by exeavatihg through bedrock and during the. period, of. lowz.water. The device will then be ,Teady for high water and will function,eto carry of the. fine materials, these materials carrying the precious metals"

VANDALIA, -Seven's prisoners were wounded Last night > isp.s sass att tempted break flor freedom ard in the prison riot which followed among the 600 inmates of the Wandalia s;t.state penal fam1-
 The qrisoners became senragedl when four of their comrades were shot down in a desperate .attempt1to escape by scaling the sbarbed wire farm stockade. Before the rioters could be qnieted they had put the torch to four of the farm buildings. |.
 It is reported that Superintendent Metzgar was tipped of to the plans for the break and he stationed guards in cornfield adjoining the outer fence. When the guards -saw the prisoners coming they ordered then, to halt, and when the prisoners failed to heed the command they were fired upon, with the result that they were wounded. As soon as their condition will permit, the four wounded prisos- CTS win be turned over to the county authorities for trial.
 Immediately following the shooting the other prisoners ran to their dor mitory, tore open the straw mat tresses and set fire to ythem. Others threw stones at the administration building and at the guards When the superintendent arrived and ordered the prisoners into a corner of the stockade, they complied .meekly and the trouble WAS over.

African Blacks Feel Superior to All Whites

has the leisure to examine carefully
the reactions of the blacks to the
curiosity of which they are the OBJ
jeets, the contempt of the blacks
may be clearly seen in their looks
and their gestures.
As to the word, Negro, the Ga
zette thinks it is purely a European
stereotype and utterly incapable of
describing all the blacks of many
shades, some of whom like the Toua-
regs of Mauretania have profiles like
those of the ancient Greeks, and
whose women are draped like statu-
cites of Tanagra.
The blacks, the writer thinks. are
geniuses at showing their contempt.
"A hundred times" he says, 81
have seen a Touareg five his eyes
upon a customer, whom he consider
ed not very generous and watch the
look of contempt suddenly form
around his mouth look that the
greatest actor could not initiate"
Even when the customer is gem
erous the look on the Africans face,
the writer thinks, is still one of con-
tempt. There is a certain different
CLEAN but "the look is certainly not
one of gratitude. The sons of the
desert possess truly a genius for
being contempuous."

Dixie Excursionists
Flock To New York

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Twenty
carloads of anxious and eager tour
lists from the South arrived in New
York Monday morning to spend the
week end in the worlds Wonder
City, being the largest excursion
ever arriving in the city from the
South.
Allowing forty-eight hours in New
York, many residents of Virginia
took advantage of this excursion
and came for the trip. Other trains
poured their loads into Harlem from
other points South and West. max
ing up in port for the many who
HELD themselves to the beaches and
other nearby pleasure resorts over
the holiday.
Four thrilling rescues were effect
ed by the life guards at Rockaway
Beach, where over the weekend a
record throng of 100000 were pres
ent on the two days. Most of the
crowd was colored.

Harping Race Pride

Year in and year out we hear or
ators and the leaders" harping on
that much-used phrase, race pride.
We are told day in and day out that
we must have race pride and stick
by this leader or that leader for the
sake of trace pride" We are adj
vised that we cannot permit this in
stitution to fail because of race
pride. We are exhorted to give sup
port to this individual or that indi-
vidual because we must keep our
race pride. In almost every instance
we have responded in some sort of
fashion and rallied almost to man
on theory that race pride demanded
it.
While the rank and file of us have
been giving our best to these leaders
on the policy of race pride these
leaders with very few exceptions
have failed to remember us and have
some race pride themselves and for
us after thev have gotten what they
want themselves. These leaders in
state, church, business and political
activities are elevated to the high
places on our shoulders and by vir-
tue of our support on the theory of
pride of race" and then shut the
door in our faces and forget all about
race pride When they have OBJ
tanned the goal these praters on race
pride then buy from the other man,
ride by us in fine cars, convert ev-
erything to their own use, and stay
in the spot light still singing their
song of race pride"
The time has come when we have
got to teach these race pride orators
that they too must show some race
pride and it goes for them as well
as for those who make them possible.
If we elevate them on the theory of
race pride and they lose their race
pride when they are so elevated, then
we must learn enough race pride to
tear them down when they fail to
practice what they preached. Let's
| begin now.

PARIS.-Most white persons, how
ever benevolent they may be, are in
clined to think themselves superior
to Negroes. That the African Me-
groes do not at all share in this
viewpoint of the whites is the opin-
ion of the G azette de Lausanne,
Switzerland. These blacks, in their
inner being, are just as emphatically
sure that black is superior, as the
whites feel that their color is.
Moreover, the blacks do not only
wish to be black, but those of par
ticular region, it finds, do not wish
to be mistaken for the blacks of an
other region, as Frenchmen do not
care to be taken for Germans, or
Germans for Englishmen, and so on.
"Ab Vincennes," it adds, "the
whites go to see the blacks and to
enjoy themselves by looking at the
primitive simplicity of the blacks;
they take pleasure in seeing them
work, dance, and live; they greet the
blacks in a mood of protective good
nature and with the certainty of be-
ing considered the most amiable Wis
itors in the world"
The blacks, however, the Gazette
finds, have their own feelings on the
matter. eff one takes the pains or

GARVEY'SCAUSE

NEW YORK.-For the past week,
the corner of Seventh Avenue and
134th Street, has been the scene of
soapbox speeches in favor of the
Garvey movement. Nightly, the
crowds gather here to listen to the
inspired addresses of the followers
of the Garvey cause.
"The black man has got to get a
sensible idea of his condition, he
has got to realize that he is being
duped by the white man in this
country shouts the speaker. and
the crowd of two hundred or more
persons echo his sentiments with
shouts and wild mouthings.

Marcus Garvey is the man of the

country.
"Black man, wake up and follow

lie Sourire. Paris weekly, turn their
backs upon the Negroes, but borrow
from them their music, the parapher-
MALTA of their dance and their color

The article, which is illustrated,
shows Dorothy Mackail dancing in
loin covering of bananas la jose
phnie Baker, and "the false Negro"
Al Jolson in black-face. The writ
er adds:
'Under the good King Henry the
nest maps of the time showed all

habit of looking at all the natives

Low WAGES OF
HARLEM WOMEN
AFFECT MORALS

NEW YORK.-That the constant
ly decreasing wage scales of women
in New York are digging at the
morals and health Of many, is the
opinion of social observers here.
According to report of the State
Labor Departments statistical bu-
reau, Girls in domestic service are
being paid as low as SIS a month,
and the average is $40" And there
are women-white and black-will-
ing and anxious to work at the en-
ployer's fixed paw, or the employers
terms.
"Womens wages in New York have
decreased 40 to so per cent since
1929" the State Labor bureaus sur
vey reveals. The report says that
bookkeepers who drew $25 to $50 in
1929 now work for as low as SIS a
week. Wages for typists dropped
from SIS and 1922 week to $21 to
S12 with the $12 offer far more
usual" said the report.
Stenographers' wages dropped
from SIS week for beginners and
$35 for experts to 50 to $40, respec-
lively. Machine operators in officers
are getting about $12 a week, and
''the piece rate on hand addressing
has been cut from SO to $3.50 a
1000" se
Some time ago, President William
Green of the American Federation
of Labor declared that wages should
not come down and that prosperity
shall be forced to return through.

piled by high wages. But many en-
ployers have gradually decreased
wages.
