Most of our leaders, today, are in

aims at the expense of all things i'm
p~ortant for the advancement Of the
common good.
The Negro Politicians and would

kind that believes in getting their

Political Barons" who get fat, big
and strong, and their followers (the
people or masses) are "hot dog" fed
political beggars.
Therefore:
Races and groups, especially the
Negro of America, can not really be-
come important as a great portion Of
the political strength Of this nation,
unless we have unselfsh, sagacious
and ~veracious leaders with a clean
vision whose main duty should be to
teach the masses the true values and
the spirit of their greatest privilege
and most important function as citi-
zens of a great but none too liberal

life; Illicit love affairs; drinking and
debauchery; and the mixed emotions
Of soused literary and artistic charac-
tiers as depicted in Ozark Lustre".
The author, Godfrey Barnes, who,
apparently, gained some renown as
the writer Of "Party Husband" (which
| have not read) ~endeavors, in Ozark
Lustre", to portray the reactions Of
a mixed love affair between Alan
North, a writer with an inherited in
come and who spends his time prov
ing that there is no such thing as
prohibition and Aline Milton. a null
alto who is the direct result of a mid
night liaison between an old Ken
lucky judge and his black housekeep-
err.
Aline has a rival for the affections
OF Alan in the person of Patricia
(Peter) Brent, an artist who also en-
joys an inherited income. Of course.
Peter is white, beautiful and ador-
able. She wants Alans and wants
him bad. In fact she literally throws
herself upon Alan on any terms that
Alan may desire but no, Alan, doesn't
want Peter in that way and neither
does he want to marry.
So, he goes to Harlem, meets AL
inc and spend such a hilarious night
together that he finds himself in pos
session of a new apartment key and
a willing maid awaiting him at all
hours. The scores Of other charac-
aers merely add to the general de-
hatchery, if not the plot.

Xmas,
Well Folks.
by John Benz. Horton. Jr.

On previous occasions. this writer
was accustomed to using his admit
lance card to the United States Senate
Chamber in Washington at the open
ing OF Congress; had he been there
this year he would have rushed over
to either Senator Norris's or Senator
Royal s. Copeland's office to have his
admission card to the 72nd Congress
exchanged for one for the 73rd Con-
gress. Then. he would have hurried
over to the House of Representatives
and up in the gallery-stand; and with
an eagerness out of the ordinary, he
would have heard these words from
the lips Of Speaker Garner, namely:
1.-TWO thirds not having voted, the
resolution is lost" once the count was
completed. I'm telling you its mighty
sad for us this year because every
BODY wished that Old Santa Claus
would bring us BEER for Xmas. n
The House rejected the Garner reso-
luton for prohibition repeal Monday,
the votes being 271 for repeal to IA
AGAINST. A two-thirds majority vote
was necessary for approval of the res
olution and. the necessary margin not
having been delivered, the proposal
was turned down. A change OF six
votes would have resulted in the re-
peal amendments adoption.
One of the reasons that the resolu-
ton was rejected was that many
Lame Ducks Congressman, defeated
for reelection, opposed the resolution.
Congressman Howard Malcolm
Baldrige and Congressman Malcolm
Howard of this fair State of Nebras-
ka were among those who had the
courage of their convictions to vote
for the repeal amendment
No Political Party Can Cure Our

WILD CARGO
By Frank Buck

Once when I pulled into these
three ports on the S. S. Bear
port with the largest collection
of animals ever assembled on
one veSSel-a collection COM
prising enough specimens to
equip a fair-sized zoo-the
schools were closed so that the
children could view this great
floating menagerie. acted as
a combination guide and lee
turer and answered hundreds of
questions that the children fired
at me.
Always there were questions
about the American buffalo.
The text books used in these
Philippine schools do not neg
lect the period in United States
history when great herds of
these animals roamed the west
ern plains, and the children are
tireleSS in their efforts to find
out all about these species that
so completely captivate them.
One child, looking at a huge
Asiatic elephant, asked me, "Is
the American buffalo as big as
that?" Another wanted to know
whether the bison could beat
the Philippine domestic water
buffalo, known as the carabao,
in a fight. Inevitably other
children sought information
as to the number of buffalo
that Buffalo Bill had killed. I
answered their questions as best
I could. the reply that made
the deepest impression being my
declaration that a full-grown
American buffalo could dispose
of the formidable carabao with
out much difficulty.
Now that I was returning to
these Philippine ports where
we had two-and three-day stop
overs, I decided to get in touch
with the school authorities and
give the teacher a chance to
bring their children around for
a look at my pair of bison.
Kids Disappointed
Although there was much in
terest, the children, I regret to
report, were uniformly disap-
pointed. My specimens were
only little over half-grown and
not filled out and they stood
only about five feet at the
shoulders. One of the children
said, when I saw you two
years ago, Mr.. Buck, you said
an American buffalo could beat
a carabao in fight. Why, my
father has carabao that could
whip these two together!"
When I arrived at Singapore
the Sultan of Johore was away.
(Johore and Singapore are only
about IA miles apart.) So I de-

Our last stop was Hong Kong
where we unloaded the pair of
bison on the KnoWldoon Docks.
AS the next boat for Singa-
pore my next stop was not
due until four days later, it
was necessary to rig up camp
right on the dock where Lal
could live with the animals and
watch them.
I stopped at the Hong Kong
Hotel and spent my time looking
up old friends. A couple of
days after our arrival in Hong
Kong I decided to run over and
see how Lal was making out on
the dock. My visit was purely
perfunctory for the boy was so
trustworthy that I was sure he
was giving the animals the
proper care.
I found that Lal had rigged
up quite an establishment. He
had gathered up some old sail
cloth and gunny sacks and dun
mage boards and had built a
tent-wall around the crates. I
found him standing at the i'm
provised entrance delivering a
ballyhoo on the subject of his
charges and collecting pennies
those big Chinese coppers as
large as our quarters-from
coolies who had made up their
minds they would have to see
these wonderful American ami
mails that brought such good
luck to the beholder.
Sure of Himself
Lal was not the least bit
sheepish when I caught him.
He said he felt sure I wouldn't
mind-and he was right. He
was taking good care Of the
animals and that was all that
mattered. The boy did quite a
business during his four days on
the dock, playing to two or
three hundred Cinnamon.
The boat that took us to
Singapore was an American
freighter that made three stops
in the Philippines-at Cebu,
Iloilo and Zamboanga-to load
copra, lumber and other cargo
for Pacific Coast ports.
Invariably when I put in at
Philippine ports on nv Way
from Singapore or Calcutta to
America with animals I have
requests from American school
teachers to permit them to bring
children on board to view my
specimens. Needless to say,
always comply; and when
have the time I make the rounds
from cage to cage with the
teachers and children and tell
them all about the different ami.
mails.

Little women have not been
neglected by designers, manu-
facturers, or the stores this
season. The same fashions are
made up for them that you find
in the regular sizes, and in as
good variety. But in case you
don't remember what little
women's" dresses are, perhaps
we had better explain. They
are sizes proportioned for
women who are short, but are
we'll developed through their
shoulders and hips. They are
for those who want to be smart,
who want youthful clothes, and
who realize that half Of chic is
in the fit. If you have all
these requirements, and have
not discovered little women'S"
sizes, be sure to do so at once.
Plenty of Variety
All the best of the seasons
materials, fashion details, and
ideas are put into these shorter
versions of regular sizes. The
new sheer materials, in darker
colors or prints for daytime,
and in pastels' for evening are
found on these special racks.
Sheer summer suits are in pro-
fusion. Whites and pastels that
will launder easily, and all the
spectator sports clothes that
you could desire. Then, for
travel, or for something you can
wear now and take into fall, we
have the dark sheer suits.

cided to leave one buffalo at
my compound near Singapore
and go on with the other to
Rangoon where, in addition to
depoSiting the shaggy visitor
from America, I had important
business involving four ele
plants I planned to land for
ZOOS and circuses.
I wired Friedlander that I
was on my way to Rangoon
with his bison and he met me
at the boat with a motor lorry
and a gang of zoo coolies. The
ZOO official was delighted with
his acquisition and agreed right
there on the dock to give me
a fine elephant in exchange
for it.
I supervised the uncrating of
the bison and its installation
in a shaded paddock where it
could seek shelter when the
sun was too blistering. The
idea was to give the animal
chance to get used to the new
climate by degrees.
A record of the arrival of
this American buffalo is to be
found in the Rangoon Gazette
for March 9Th, 1926, which
said in part:
A valuable addition to the
animals at the Rangoon Zoo
has arrived from America in
the shape of a young Amer
lean bison, about a year and
a half old, and a splendid
specimen Of its class. The
bison, the first of its species
ever seen in Asia, was Sc
cured through the well-known
American animal collector,
Frank Buck, in exchange for
an elephant. It arrived by
boat via Singapore and was
taken to the Zoo where yes
terday it was the center of
attention.
A small fee to see the bison
was charged by the ZOO, and
the animal earned its hay
for a year in no time.
Work Is Alone
My work in Rangoon over,
I returned to Singapore. The
Sultan was back in Johore,
so I got him on the telephone
and told him I had a present
for him, didn't say what it
was, merely making a date to
call on him the next day

The Sultan was delighted
when he found I had brought
him an American sladang. He

park where he had a small

He was sure; he made her
sure. Presently he was gone.
Suddenly almost sick with
fatigue, Lynn undressed and
went to bed. Lying there in
the darkness, she tried to
think. But her thoughts were

her to marry him in the spring,

utter astonishment, is it possible
that I was tempted even then?
She thought wonderingly of
Sarah-remembering how she
had seen her waiting, her face
a mask of tragedy. She turned
her tired mind from the scene
which had followed. Then
