NA.A.C.P. Urges Vote
Against Senator Jones

The National Association for Ad-
vancement of Colored People has adj
dressed a letter to the Seattle
branch urging the defeat of Senator
Wesley l.. Jones, Republ ic an.
"Among the members of Congress
who turned their backs on the ap-
peals of colored people is Senator
Wesley L. JONES'" said the letter.
"He voted to confine the nomination
of Judge John j. Parker to be a
member of the Supreme Court of the
United States despite our urgent
plea to him to vote against confirma-
ton. Judge Parker was shown to be
an enemy of colored people and the
vote of Senator Jones in favor of
Parker endangered the rights of col
ored people. We are therefore APP
pcaling to all colored voters of Wash
ington to vote against the reelection
of Senator Jones.

Bibles and Bullets

Ancient and medieval scholars we're imprisoned and
even put to death because of their learning but it is
startling in modern America to find member of
congress in danger of his Official life for the same
reason
Representative Ross A. Collins of Mississippi who
running for reelection is being attacked because
several years ago. he sponsored purchase for the IL
brary of congress of the volbehr collection Of 5000
rare volumes, including the Gutenberg Bible.
Both from the standpoint of religion and of cu-
ture it would seem natural for the people of Mssis-
sippi to appreciate this official act which saved to
America valuable documents which otherwise would
have gone to Europe Instead it is berated as extrav-
agant folly.
Yet If there is member Of congress who has
stood firmly and consistently for government economy
in the last few years it is Ross Collins AS chairman
OF the house subcommittee in charge of war depart
ment appropriations he had the difficult task last
winter OF trying to bring about economies in the one
government department which refused to economize
Of its own accord
His determination brought about savings of at lea st
$125OOOOO, and would have brought even more had it
not been for strength of the army lobby in the senate
These real and practical economies probably are
the actual reason for the attack being made upon him
large part of the army and majority of the
house OF representatives supported Collins In his con-
tention that economies he proposed in the military
machine actually would increase efficiency of national
defense, rather than impair it in any way But of
course, his fight made powerful enemies

Your Leisure Hour

What will you do with your leisure hours when
the time comes that you will have at least three
fourths of each day free from work?
The new problem is that of leisure. It is here
now. 1t with enforced idleness 1t will be
permanent because of the inevitable reimbursement of
industry and business.
To the hundreds of thousands who have lost their
JOBS the problem Of what to do with time is quite as
acute as the question Of getting the necessities of life
To the employed who have been placed on part
time or staggered work. the matter is of some mo-
nent To every person, the problem will be pre-
sented very soon because work days and work weeks
will be shortened
The future Of this country will not be determined
during working hours 1t will be settled by what peo-
pie tb with their leisure hours
Science, coupled with inventive genius has so in
creased the processes of production that it requires
only 80 per cent of the workers on an eighhour dav
to produce all the necessities for the whole population
That means that work must be distributed with
more leisure for every one or that living standards
must be increased to point where every one will
have all the luxuries possible only for the
very rich.
That both these things will happen is inevitable,
but society has not yet been educated to the point
Of making this transition without shock
The truth is that most Of us have forgotten how
Most of us depend upon money to buy entertain.
ment and amusement. Very few have developed the
capacity of companionship The competition in life
and the struggle for existence has been too harsh.
In this city, the Leisure Hour Clubs are proposing
q novel experiment. They merely suggest that in
these days of more leisure people in the various 10
oates unite to find fun and entertainment and
neghborliness in ways that cost money.
They suggest that social centers be established,
With rooms where men and women can meet during
their hours of leisure. They propose that there be
entertainments with lectures music, dancing, games.
They propose to solve the problem Of leisure by
operation and to enable human beings to satisfy
their minds and souls. They declare war upon
employed minds and hearts
Here is opportunity for those who may have
talent for organization. If you have such talent
get in touch with Dwight S. Ritter at 916 Majestic
building.
Very soon the different centers will ask for talent
from outside their communities. You may be
able to sing. You may play musical instrument
You may be specialist some topic of general in
teres There will be opportunity in all these centers
for these talents
Here is a solution for the real problem of unem-
poyment-the employment of Leisure Hours.

What Charts Show

TINE survey, according to Scott,
Il explains what is happening in
the United States today.
Prior to 1900, the charts show
very little fiuctuation in the pro-
duction of the major commodities"
he says. Since then the oScilla-
tionS grow tremendous, increasing in
frequency and in amplitude.
The man power needed in the
production of each commodity slips
down.. even as the total installed
horse power increases.
The facts revealed by the charts
completed through 1920 clearly in
dictate the coming of the present
depression. although the figures
point to 1880 instead of 1929 as the
year of the crash.
las efficiency approaches 100 per
cent, employment nears zero. As
the number of machines increases,
so the fluctuations in employment
and production increase.
Our major slumps hit new lows
each time, our booms new highs. We
oscillate closer to inf1nity on the one
hand. and to zero on the other.
The maximum of employment in
industry was reached in 1918, and
has declined ever since that date.
Total production, on the other hand,
reached its maximum in 1929.
This ratio of increased produc-
ton and declining employment is
to be found in every major industry,
as the charts indicate.
Employment may be considered,
therefore, an inverse factor in the
rate of production"

Forests Threatened

-Four states face destruction of their greatest
natural resource TIL white pine forests of Idaho,
Montana, Washington, and oregon are being devas-
tated by blister rust.
Forced cutting of the timber in these states where
the lumber market already is gutted would strike
severe blow at sovency of the entire region And part
OF the United States not go bankrupt without
Iuring the rest.
The white pine blister develops in currant and
gooseberry plants, and protection of the northwest
forests requires nothing complicated than Grad
icaton of these plants of 100000 acres.
The work is underNw way but it is moving slowly
If it could be placed on an eight-year basis, it
would provide labor for an average of 10000 man
days season, an important item in relief of unem-
poyment in the west

mercury arc was 80 times as power
full as the mercury tungsten glass
arc, and about 100 times as powerful
as midday summer sunshine.
Moreover, it was 480 times as
powerful as winter sunshine, and
an ordinary incandescent lamp was
so feeble as to have little, if any,
value.
The carbon arc has about the
same value as the quartz mercury
arc.
1t is, of course, difficult to select
the proper dosage of ultraviolet for
various purposes. 1t is known that
oYerexposure is dangerous.
Excessive exposure to ordinary
sunshine will bring on listlessness,
irritability, fatigue, and even fever
Certain skin diseases become worse
on the administration of light.
There is possibility that con-
tinuous excessive use may cause the
depositing of calcium in the tissues.
A certain exposure of the light is
beneficial to development of the red
blood cells, but overexposure may do
harm.
1t is, therefore, well to bear in
mind that sunlight or ultraviolet
rays should not be had in excess
and that in every instance in even
the slightest doubt it is we'll to con-
suit a physician who has special
knowledge of this subject.

Must Defend Weak

TINE situation demands some
Il thing bigger than personality.
except as personality serves to ex-
press and restore those principles
without which this republic becomes
a mockery of its original design.
The question is not whether YOU
prefer Hoover or Roosevelt as in
dlviduals, but whether you believe
in paternaHSm or democracy: in a
philosophy of government which ca
tiers to entrenched privilege, or con-
Germs itself with the welfare of aver
age people.
In this connection, it were Just
as we'll to remember that the pri-
mary objective of democracy is de-
Tense and protection for the indi-
vidual who lacks power to cope with
organized wealth, mass production,
of any other form of voluntary
coalescence by which society func-
tons.
Democracy never was meant to
invent or promote commercial
schemes for the benefit of a favored
few, but to safeguard the rights
of the IS per cent inarticulate, to
speak for those who can not speak
for themselves, especially against
the abuses which go with super
system.
