FISHING THRILL


 But it can't touch the feel,
 Of big bass bite.
 o-C--o
 The politicians oc not intend to spend as much money on radio this year as they did in the last na- ,tional election. What break for the fans listening in.
 o--O-o
 Al Capone is playing ball at Leavenworth. The boys want to look out or he'll steal sec ond base. Mussolini says Italy will be pros porous when the United States gets back on it's feet. The Duce, you say.
 There were good times after the last eclipse. Perhaps there will be after this one.
 o-O-o
 The farm strike didn't last very long. It takes something besides a pair of overalls to win these days.
 The politicianse want to kill pro- hibition but scorn the idea of the old saloon coming back. That's about as easy as taking out mans appendix by extricating his eye tooth.
 o-O-o
 Economists claim our pros perity was merely a glorious drunk in which the nation engaged. We'll, there's still a little of the dark brown taste hanging around.
 o-O-o They claim the return of booze will increase business. It will for the cops, city court judges and jailers, but that's about all.
 OVER THE RIVER Gals in long skirts,
 Are funny to see, Their tulnmy seems set
 Where their knees used to be. The politicians may be warming up but the public is still pretty cold. You cant buy the good things of life with saccharine political prom ises.
 
 A partnership is like any other kind of ship, it genearlly goes aground and is wrecked.
 o-O-o
 Some -bartenders are so confident the saloon will come back that they're painting the ne-time familiar signs, Fam fly Entrance
 O-O-O It's a tough world. The man who enjoys telling the truth is bound to be looked upon by some as a liar.
 TEE. HEB The girl who snubbed her boy
 friends,
 No longer pulls these "breaks", She's working in a baReshop, Frosting layer cakes.
 o-O-o
 The coming election proves that wee're not sitting on keg of pow der at all but keg of beer.
 o-O-o
 Sheriff Wolfe claims squat ter shot at him--News item. Huh, merely trying to keep the Wolfe away from the door.
 o-O-o
 The government might put the postoffice on a paying basis if it put out ink wells incapable of be- ing used by owners of fountain pens as fillig nstations.
 O-O-o
 Cold exteriors may hide warm heart but lot of us are hardly looking for fire places. o--O-o And then Rudy told the Mrs. the former Fay Wray that she could go her Wray and he would go his. (And if you promise not to shoot I'll quit this line.)
 .o-O-o When a bride burns her first cake she's not so hot. OH YEAH A look down the past. As the future appears. You'll see quite a difference And below, three cheers. o-O-o The chap who is always belly aching about the times, gives an earache to those who try to smile and keep going. o-O-o In heaven the last shall be first which is great news for the drones among us. o-O-o The man who kills joy is mur- dering sunshine. o-O-o Writers of nursery rhymes had a different method of dis closing depression.

EDUCATORS ARE NOT MADE

by r. A. ADAMS
(The Literary Service Bureau)

One Of the most serious and de-
terrent weaknesses Of Negro educa.
tlonal institutions is the kaleidoscop,
changes in their faculties. These are
due to politics-racial politics in Sc.
cular schools and church politics in
the religious ones.
In the chucrh schools these fIuc-
tuations come with changes in e~ccles-
iastic supervisors, because SO many
Negro bishops and ministers are giy-

members of their own families ii

such persons are manifestly incom-
petent.
The secular schools are usually al

ing ample scope for politics, and, in
them, the "outs" are eternaDy afte,
the "ins", to get their places; and
this causes the frequent upheavals.
Experience counts much in n
work, and it is especially indispens-
able in educational work, and only
long tenure and extensive experience
can fully qualify one as an educator.

SELLING HOOVER BIG JOB

The Democrats are making much of the increased
registration of their party, especially in San Francisco,
having almost reached the hundred thousand mark, and
know that they have a large-sizeed job, to sell Hoover
this year.
The small business man who finds it exceedingly
hard sledging to keep going, lays it on Hoover; the man
out of a job, says it is Hoover's fault, the fellow who calls
loudly for beer and light wine, to quench his thirst, has
got it in for Hoover. So all the way down the line of
human woes all are going to test the ingenuity of the
spellbinders to convince these elements of doubt and dis
trust who have voted the Republican ticket for years, be-
cause they believed that prosperity was contingent upon
the continuance of the Republicans in power; but seeing
the magic of their slogans fail in the face Of worldwide
depression, they have no patience with a condition that
fails to yield to the methods of statesmen and economists.

guilty persons may read and reform.
Two men were talking and without
invitation or ~provocation, another
proceeded to inject his opinion con
corning the matter Of their converse
ton A woman was talking on the
phone, when a woman listener cx-
claimed, "That ought to be me; I'd

added, "WIhy don't you cuss her out?"
A boy and a girl were sitting together
engaged in a serious conversation
when another girl dropped down on
the seat near them saying, "You
uns will have to stop your spoonin
for a while, cause I'm here, now"
AS a general thing people are TOO
polite to ask "How did you get into

apt to quote, "Two's company and

BLAME RESTS ON ADULTS

Education of motorists in traffic safety is still in
the little red school house stage Of development, in the
opinion Of Harold G. Hoffman, Motor Vehicle Commits
sioner Of New Jersey, who believes that adults are largely
responsible for the slow PROGRESSED safety training.
Although good work has been done in installing
safety codes in the young, Commissioner Hoffman COM
ments, Our efforts in teaching safety to children cannot
come to full fruition until we have been successful in
bringing to the adult motorists a full sense of RESPONSE
hility to his own children and others. We must engender,
too, q general and wholesome respect for the motor laws
designed to promote safety on the highways, and insists
upon their equitable enforcement.
Commissioner Hoffman also points out that while
younger childrsn have demonstrated an aptitude to as
simulate safe practices, the elder ones, now in high school
and college have not shown the same tendency.
Statistics show that these youngsters are motor
iOusiy unsafe drivers, and for the tragic accident record
Of youth, | am convinced that our high schools and colleg-
Is must accept a large share Of responsibility. The
schools prepare these boys and girls for various activities
of life; but when it comes to an activity that we are sure
most of them viii take up, that of driving a car, they do
comparatively little.
Education in the traffic field is universal in its ap-
plication- Too often We are tempted to c%onfine consider

POINT Of LAW
Parent and Child

The nos universal private relation
is that of parent and child. Children
are Of two sorts, namely, legitimate
and spurious or illegitimate. The
former is he that is born in lawful
wedlock or a competent time after
wards. In England the rule is mar
rowed, because the marriage must be
celebrated before the birth of the
child. With us a child is legitimate
if born in wedlock or within ten
months after the dissolution of the
marriage. This is a presumption Of
law that can be only disputed by the
parents or the descendants of them.
OF course if the laws of nature make
it possible that the husband is the
father the presumption is conclusive.
The reason for the English rule
that in order for a child to be legit-
innate it must be born in wedlock was
to fix the protection. maintenance
and education of the child. This con-
strued as being better answered by
legitimating all children born after
wedlock. The great uncertainty In
the proof that the child was really
begotten by the same man would
create a great Encouragement to the
matrimonial state. One main induce
ment to marriage was not only the
desire to have children, but also the
desire Of procreating lawful heirs.
In this state, like the rule Of the
Roman law, q child born before we'd
lock becomes legitimate by the SUBJ
sequent marriage of its parents. Even
though the child hay have reached
the age of majority before the mar
rage of its parents the results of leg
ltimation takes place.
The parent must give the child
support and education suitable to his
circumstances and the child must give
the parents his services and earnings.
In cases of illegitimate children the
is entitled to the child's ser
and earnings. The obligation of
parents extend to illegitimate
children but the parentage of the
child must first be established.

OUR POLICY BUGS GONE MAD

We have often heard Of horses returning to a burn
ing stable only to be consumed by the raging flames, but
it's beyond our ability to understand just what the inocu-
lation is that causes SO many of our silly minded women,
and men, to tramp up and down the streets and in and out
of deserted dives where not many days ago they were
openly playing the numbers, trying their best to overtake
cover. In all seriousness it is pathetic to watch these
dreamland goofs drifting around almost in a state of
como, with their hopes almost at the breaking point, try
take their nickels and dimes and quarters, and sometimes
dollars, in exchange for a wee piece of paper with a few
numbers on it. The habit has become an obsession. They
are living hopes but are gradually dying in despair and
ample toothers. In the meantime let us epress a word of
appreciation for the noble work our city government is
doing in Kidding the city of such a vicious crime.

Negro journals turnout the land are reporting with
conspicuous display the victory Of Mrs. Mary c. Booze,
wide protest against the confirmation of B. B. Montgom-
cry as U. 5. Marshall because of sladerous remarks he is
alleged to have made about colored women.
Making a personal appeal to various organizations
newspapers, and leaders in civic and political circles, Mrs.
Booze also solicited the aid of certain members of the
United States Senate and placed the issue squarely before
them. In practically every state in the Union citizens
were asked to urge their senators to oppose Montpom-
erys nomination. The response of various members of
the senate and the ultimate blocking of the confirmation
indicate that more and more the Negro is becoming alert
to the power of his ballot.
1t was left to CALIFORNIA; senator. Samuel M
Shortridge, to lead the fight and in order that we NAV
appreciate the efforts of our statesman to uphold the high
