find no job. Nobody would hire
him. He therefore began to think
to plan invent: he would get his
father to advance him the capital
to fit out one vegetable and fruit
peddling truck. The father did so
on the agreement that he was to
be repaid so much a week until re-
imbursed for his loan. The boy
then had to buy, sell at profit,
make the upkeep of truck and re-
plenish his stocks. He is now
earning s25 to $50 per week. when
he would have jumped at SIS or

Our Own Brahmins

The six-day fast by Gandhi, the
Indian Holy man." was bold
stroke at prejudice and class feel
ing. In India, not wholly unlike
conditions In Southern United States,
there Is a caste system that heaps
humiliation and restrictions upon
the "untouchable" class by the Brah-
Minis and other high caste Hindus.
The untouchables are not allowed
to worship with the caste dominated
by the priests of Brahmins, nor eat
with or visit them. They are forced
to step aside and bow while others
pass on the street. Gandhis fast
seriously disturbed this old persecu-
tion.
The newspapers of our own Dixie
land have been filled with tributes
to Gandhi and condemnation of the
system at which was aimed such "A
powerful blow. At the same time
there are eight million "untoucha-
bles" who suffer from restrictions
and persecution equal to that of the
Indian "untouchables" right here in
southern u. S. The political Brah-
minis through the Democratic party
in the South deny Negroes the right
to vote. Nine Scottsboro boys are
awaiting the decision of the u. s.
Supreme Court in hope of escaping
a legal lynching by these same Brah-
Minis of Alabama. Negro laborers
are held in peonage and continual
debt and eternal ignorance by this
same system.
William +. King, Republican rep
resentative in Illinois. in attacking
the rotten system of the South made
this thoughtful analogy: Robert R.
Motion, John Hope, Will Alexander,
Bishop r. E. Jones, Jesse o. Thomas
and any one OF the goodwill inter
racial leaders of the South might
announce and begin fast unto
death tomorrow without the slight
est effect upon the Democratic Brah-
Minis. They would continue to deny
the Negro the right to vote in those
states"

That the Afro-American has not
slept on his temporal rights is ev-
idenced by the fact that 10000
have taken degrees in the profess
sions; doctors, lawyers, engineers
and technicians make up that total.
There are now 81 Negro banks and
az Negro insurance companies in ex-
istence in this country. All in all,
it would appear that the American
Negro has made much progress in
the past decade, keeping pace with
all other races. In common with
others he has been depressed by the
industrial stagnation, although he is
usually endowed with cheerful
temperament better calculated to
bear it.

Negroes In Religion

The census tells US that there are
11,S91,14S Afro-Americans in the
United States, more than half of
whom belong to various religious de-
nominations of which 81 are listed.
Though the bulk of the cQlored peo-
pie belong to the Methodist and
Baptist faiths, their range of belief
is wide. They are found in groups
of theosophists, spiritualists, Nor
mons, Lutherans, Episcopalians and
even Jews. There are $4,000 Negro
Roman Catholics. For no reason at
all it appears there are very few
Negro Presbyterians.

(By William Plekensl

The depression" may prove a
God send to Negroes-in many
ways. Not in all ways; in some
ways ii hurts awfully. Let US OBJ
serve some of the helpful ways.
1t is forcing the Negro to learn
business" small trades. Ye
Gods! Negro men are now push
ing banana carts in Harlem. That
was previously left to Greeks and
Italians and other queer white folk.
The Negro scorned the very idea.
Now he is a common street ped
fruits, vegetables, ice cream, chew
ing gum, shoe strings, ties and
many other useful things and some
do-dads and knick-knacks. What
does this mean? 1t means learn
how to buy and how to sell and how
to handle a market. This was and
American race, that lack of bus
mess technique.
Learning How To Earn
After the depression lifts, we
do not expect the Negroes to throw
away what it has forced them to
learn. They will profit by it. Also,
Negro men and boys are shining
shoes" on the sidewalks now. We
have been accustomed to think of
the Negro as a shoe-shine. Not SO!
In the south and in hotels and es-
Establishments of the whites in the
north, he shined shoes as the hired
underling of some white capitalist,
but seldom went into the business
on his own. Now he owns his job;
and he owns his SHOP even if it
consists of only his brushes, his
polish, his shoe-box and some rags.
1t is his; he is doing business ION
his own That's different. He is
not working on commission, TAX
ing orders and bearing no prime
responsibility. He can now measure
his gains, weigh output against in
come and manage" That's impor-
tant.
Besides, the Negro was more will
ling to be hired, bossed "hand"
years ago than to be seen in some
role like shining shoes on the side
walk or standing by banana cart
in the gutter.
Using Opportunities
1t is indeed an i'll wind that
blows no good to anybody any
where in any way.

cheney is lost in digestion. 1t does,
however, give us all that We need for
good nutrition, If We eat enough of it.
The argument against using it as a
complete source of protein is the fact
that a diet depending on legumes is
bulky. We are, however, certain to
supplement our dry diet by milk or
cheese and eggs for other reasons if
we are planning it properly, SO that this
can be disregarded. One of the assets
Of legumeS is the fact that they are
literally supplied with calcium. phoS-
phOruS and iron. the three important
minerals needed for complete nutrition.
They also contain large enough guam
tity of vitamins A and B to make them
contribute to some extent to the amount
required daily As far as calories are
concerned, they rank high. with high
protein and high starch content. AL
together their score is high on the
chart OF food values, especially in COM
parative cost.
All of these dried vegetables take
some time to prepare. as they need a
long cooking to make them tender
Soaking them previous to cooking cuts
down some of the time necessary to
soften them. If. however. time presses.
they may be cooked without this extra
process, at the expense Of little extra
fuel.
For their continued popularity at the
table, legumeS need to be seasoned in
an interesting and varied way There
are different types Of beans. of which
navy lima and kidney are the best
known. The flavor of each is different,
and therefore each responds differently
to the method of cooking used. Lentils.
peas and black beans. while differing
from each other in flavor. can be treat
ed successfully i'll the same way. They
can be used Interchangeable in any
recipe. They are particularly good for
soups. which are almost meals in them
selves. Navy beans are best when
cooked with salt pork and molaSses or
with tomatoes. Lima beans are per-
hapS at their best when served with
bacon or with a tart sauce. Kidney
beans combine well with cheese and also
with tomatoes.

circumstances would. however. have

Youthful double chins are mainly

bolt upright with chin up when one is

when bending forward is necessary the
bend should be as much from the waist

Chin bandageS have been used for
generations to reduce fieShy chinS
While there is really no magic in them
for creating a Clean-cut chin line, they
are useful especially in connection

adequate bandage. 1t may be fastened

New Social Mind.

From widely unrelated sources I find
growing suspicion that a new and
better society is in the making. 1t now
begins to appear that the depression
will be worth every cent it cost; that Is,
in a social sense.
Great Britain has begun TO weigh her
secondary school system. Beyond the
three RS. should the state undertake
o educate the masses? That's the ques-
ton Many Americans are beginning to
entertain the same que ton stated in
different language: Do We not in Amer
ica pursue false values?
The educational system in any coun-
try is the ultimate foundation OF the
social mind What We need is not less
education but more Of differen sort.
What is the eS, nee Of that more diff
ferent sort? II l mistake not. that SyS-
TEN should emphasize the educational
process rather than the content.
If our psychological tests 50 widely
used nowadays reveal anything solid
about human nature, that solid some
