is dangerous, not only to our own
group, but to the white group as wei.
I believe that the white man would
prefer the truth rather than a false at
any time. If we have a message to
carry to the white man let it be the
truth or nothing at all. Our race, and
especially our immediate cbmmunity,
is suffering for true leadership; for
men and women who viii not sacrifice
the race in order to hold a position, but
for men who would rather sacrifice a
position than to sacrifice the race. Oh,
God, give US men! True men, sun crow
ned men, men with back bone. We
have now TOO many jelly fish.

editor D. B. Raulingsl For the most
part, we agree win what editor Raulins
has to say with reference to the reli-
gion Of to-day. Some how, the editor
of the Weekly Echo believes that God
is going to suffer another war in order
to change conditions. If He does, we
believe it is going to be some war. It
seems to be hard for us to be absolutely
out Of harmony with a war; in view Of
the fact that it may be the only means
by which conditions can be bcttered.

Some Observations
OF Negro Leader
ship

1t has been my GOOD pleasure to OBJ
serve within our group the leaders Of
our community. l am of the opinion
that we have in our city some men and
women who are a credit to our race as
leaders. We have some who seem to be
putting forth every effort to LIT our
people to higher standards. Some who
are willing to make sacrifices and are
making sacrifices, while on the other
hand, we have some who hold leading
positions who are not worthy Of the
position they hold No man or woman
eaould be placed in a position to re-
present the race, who can be used as
a tool We have in Meridian, several
biz tools and It is a known fact among
our people, that some Of us are tools
We sometimes wonder why, we, as
a group, cannot put over constructive
programs. The answer is: there is a
tool in the way. We sometimes blame
the white man for things we really
ought to blame ourselves for. I believe
that Negroes Of this city ought to shum;
they ought to boycott they ought to
snub every Negro in our town who
holds an important position and yet, is
nothing but a tool This race will ne
yer amount to anything as long as we
will make ourselves contented with
such poor leadership We have criti-
cizad the people in general too much
The people in general do not need SC
much criticism, but those Of US who fill
the pulpit; those Of US who occupy
principalship Of schools; those OF Us
who pose as physicians and those OF u
who pose as business men need to b
criticized, not all of us but some Of US

STYLE CHATS
WITH ALMA ARCHER

There was a time not so long back when no one but a second- rater would possess machine embroidered linens. Now, with the aid of slight brainwork insofar as design is concerned, and the arkra process, it is considered perfectly justifiable to machine-embroider even quite good linens. These ex- perienced old eyes can be fooled just like scat. One little matter to consider in avoiding disappoint- ing upset is choosing 8 monogram design that blends with the woven design of the linen. Step two is to insist upon Ella, the kitchen slave. treating the monograms as care fully as the finest hand executed ones, that is, in laundering, press them through the hands-don't rub. Use hot, not boiling water. Don't wiring! Place in a towel and press the water out, and finally pin the embroidery right side up over g. board on a piece of blot ting paper. Use plenty of pins, and stretch the monogram tightly. Don't allow an iron near embroid- cry, no matter how pretentious. And let me know if I qualify for the Boy Scouts on this daily deed.

The slightest eruptions or skin disorders call for special types oi beauty treatments
 The minute you notice anything wrong with your complexion, Inc wisest thing to do is put yourself in the hands, of a physician or a skin specialist.
 If you use cosmetics at all while you are undergoing skin treat ments, select kinds recommended by the doctor who is caring for you.
 Absoulte cleanliness is necessary to a healthy skin. Once you dis cover the slightest blemish on your face, take extra precautions. Use a medicated soap. Compact powder puffs are the worst offend- CTS of cleanliness. Be sure that yours is washed often enough to keep it scrupulously clean. New ones cost only a few cents.
 Always apply creams, lotions and makeup with clean cotton pads. In that way, germs on your hands are not carried into the skin on your face.
 You can buy roll of sterile cotton for very little money. Cut it into squares as you need it. And seal the box when you have cut up all the squares you need for that one time. The old-fashioned powder puff is no longer fashion, able on the modern woman's dress ing table. She realizes that a clean cotton pad, each time, is much more sanitary.

 l It has been proved that one- half of one per cent solution of sodium hypochlorite in water will | kill five of the commoner strains | of ringworm in 15 seconds. Drs | Osborne, Putnam and Dickloff re- port success with the use of such solution in rubber pans or in | wells built in the floor, where pu- | pills will step in the solution for a | few seconds on their way to and i from the shower, in the college or school gymnasium.
 Other solutions have been sim | ilarly used for preventing this very prevalent foot itch, athletes foot" | ringworm, trichophytosis, epider- mophytosis, as it is variously called. A good one is a solution of i photographers fixing agent, sodium | hyposulphite (thiosulphate) 10 per cent strength. This has been used l in a similar way to prevent spread of the itch in baths, pools, gym nasiums.
 In the Buffalo schools the pans or wells are refilledswith l per cent solution of sodium hypochlorite every two days. at a cost of about i17 cents. In the past three years | the prevalence of the ringworm among school and college students in Buffalo has dropped 50 per cent under such prophylaxis.
 The Buffalo investigators observe that it is fairly easy to employ such a means of prevention in schools and colleges, but it is hard to make it effective in golf clubs and the | like where the locker boy takes the foot bath as joke and allows it to go unchanged for weeks. They
