To the Editor:
+ The Negro knows now that he is a
man, that makes the difference. He
| knows that he has under the Consti-
tuition of the United States certain
Rights declared to be inalienable and
that these Rights are denied to him
He knows that merely because of the
color of his skin he is put at disad-
vantage with his fair skinned brother.
He knows that he and his children are
branded by that one mark of color and
consigned by it to the pit of caste
from which there is no escape, and
he feels in his heart and knows in his
mind that all this is contrary to ele--
mental justice, to the American tradi-
ton and to the law of God. He has
looked UPON all these things until the
iron has entered his soul. In the last
sixty years he has achieved himself,
not only unaided, but in the face of
the bitterest prejudice and often ac-
tive opposition, an enviable position
in this western civilization. From
1910 up to this date the Negroes of
this country, by their own efforts, re-
duced the percentage of illiteracy
among their people from 40. to 20.
and that in the face of the fact that
southern states where most of the
Negroes and most of the illiteracy
exist, are frankly organized to pre-
vent Negro education. Justice for
the colored race-how he can get it,:

Trimming for Long Skirts
BY MARY MARSHALL.

y KIRT lengths are no longer giving
us concern. For the time being
at least dreSSmakerS and those
women to whom dreSSmakers look
for approval have agreed on floor
length skirts for evening wear, ankle or
instep skirts for informal afternoon
and evening. and for general daytime
wear skirts that escape the ground by
II or 13 inches.
But there is another angle to the
skirt situation that is bound to come
up for consideration before many
months have passed-and that is one
Of silhouette. Slender lines from waist
to knees are likely to remain in favor
but, to relieve the severity and possible
monotony of the long. plain line from
waistline to hem, some of the French
dressmakers have experimented with
trimming at the knee. Needless to say,
this trimming is used only on long eve
ming gowns and is desirable only for
the woman who is tall or slenderly
proportioned.
The trimming may take the form of
a very large flower, splashing pouffe
Of velvet, satin or silk net or a sweep
ing. bow of ribbon with long ends hang
ing to the hem line. And it must, alb
solutely must. appear on the left, not
the right. knee.
Aside from relieving the severity OF
a long, straight line from waist to hem,
this large splash of trimming at the
knee accentuates the Slenderness of the
silhouette and provides that unexpected
element of trimming that the French
call "amuSant," not exactly amusing in
the French sense of the word, but rob-
bing the dress of a too great serious

wood becomes more beautiful with age,
takes on a rich reddish brown, and is
in much demand in beautiful homes
Furniture. parlor cars, and even steam
ships are finished in this wood. No
part is wasted and the smaller pieces
are used as inlay.
In May the flowers, small, white and
fragrant, appear. Thousands Of busy
nectar seekers swarm above them. The
leaves are long and slender. from two
TO five inches long, glossy green above
and pale beneath. The fruit ripens by
September, and is rather more fiat than
round, and about the size of a pea,
deep purple and bitter. Small boys
and birds eat the fruit long before it
is ripe. The birds are responsible for
the wide distribution of the cherry tree.
Large, spreading branches, a sturdy
trunk, and a fairly quick growth make
this tree valuable as a nurse tree for
other and slower growing hardwoods.
Moist soil is its preference, and it may
be found from Ontario to Dakota, south
to Florida and Texas.
Besides being useful as shade tree,
it is very ornamental. The satin bark
reminds you of the bircheS and has the
same slit-like breathing holes" A
taste of the wood will soon dispel any
illusion you might have had that 1t was

Your Home and You
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

Some ideas for Spring sandwiches
for picnics That's what one Of our
readers asks for She wants good sub
stantial sandwiches that are filling, yet
tempting.
Tomato sandwiches answer this re-
quirement, to our way of thinking, but,
of course, tomatoes are still expensive
To make them. use either white or
whole wheat bread, spread with butter,
add several slices of tomato some may
onnaise, a few crisp bits of lettuce and
another slice of buttered bread II you
want, you also may add a slice OF bacon.
But as some people don't like cold ba-
con- this is not always advisable.
Egg sandwiches, too, are substantial
and delicious. These may be made by
chopping hardboiled eggs fine and sea
soning with pepper and salt and mayon-
tered slices of thin white or whole
wheat bread. Or hard boiled eggs NAV
be thinly sliced and spread between
slices of buttered bread with a piece of
lettuce and some mayonnaise.
Meat sandwiches, OF course, are sub
stantial. The veriest ends of meat may
be temptingly used in sandwiches. The
meat is finely chopped and seasoned
with melted butter, pepper, salt, mus
tard, mayonnaise. Chicken is good with
mayonnaise. Beef takes mustard well.
Lamb, minced and moistened with a
little gravy, may be Sprinkled with
minced mint leaves
Cheese sandwiches, too. are substan-
tial and delicious Thinly sliced Swiss
cheese between buttered bread, with
mustard and perhaps a little piece of
lettuce. Cream cheese mixed with
chopped nuts or with chopped stuffed
olives. Cream cheese spread on the
bread and then spread with layer of
jelly or jam or marmalade

Everyday Psychology
Filling in the Time.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Most psychologists hold that nothing
is really forgotten; that the stock of
past experiences is permanently regis
tered in the cells of the brain. Just
how the registration takes place is
something of a mystery. What we call
/ forgetting is merely name for an in
ability to recall voluntarily this or that
item Of the past Many of the ex-
periences we think are forgotten come
back at most unexpected times .and in
most unexpected connections. They
often appear a little puzzling until We
get them placed" This fact is taken
as proof Of the unforgetability of every
experience.
Let us assume that the theory is
good that it states the facts about for
getting. What does it mean for every
day psychology?
ever forgotten, all new experiences
merge with the unforgotten experiences,
This merging makes all new expert
ences seem like so much more of the
old. Unless something very much out
OF the ordinary happens, life seems to
race along on a monotonous plane.
Therefore. as We look back, the years
seem to have passed rapidly.
And then what? Men and women
should never retire from their vocations
or callings. Work is the one thing tnat
NILS the vcid created by the absence of
thrills and excitement. There seems
to be place for adult education in our
science of living. Perhaps We need a
new course of study about every five
years. We need some way Of escape
from the commonplace We need to
discover something new

Should he come to the Senate, he
would not be the first to attempt q
reformation on that side Of Capitol Hill.
And those who know their Senate are
of the belief that the general, with all
his reputation as a fighter, would be

others
Which is exactly nothing --
Gen. Dawes probably has made the
mcst spectacular attempt along this
line in recent times. And what the
Senate did to him-and he was Vice

Dawes merely wanted to amend the
rules to curb the loquacity of Senator's

officer, and look what they did to him
If Smedley Butler were to win that
heroism might pale in comparison.

to tamper with its traditions It's not
always so easy to obs erve openly. but
