When this century came In,
Back in eighteen thirty three.
With a great OK for a steed
And water-mill for power,
Little thought had men Of

Cruel demon, splendid dover.
But this century has brought
Magic gifts to you and me;
Tasks, undreamed of once, are

Now, in Observation-Disclosures!
In Chicago, at the fair,
We are shown a world made

All Aladdin's dreams are there,
Brighter, that they have come

Boundless realms swing wide

WEAVING

WEANkNO
Q.-I enjoy reading your col
umn very much and / feel sure
you will be able to help me. My
baby is eight months old, and I
would like to know the proper
diet for her. She refuses to take
orange or tomato juice. Have
you any suggestions that would
help me to pursuade her to
take these necessary juices?
I think it is time to start
weaving her, but she can not
drink from a cup. am wonder
ing how to give her a sufficient
amount of milk daily. Kindly
explain the procedure of wean-
ing. r. F. B.
Ave are forwarding in
structions regarding weaving
the child. We suggest, however,
that the diet should be outlined
by the baby's own doctor. Chill
dren and especially babies need
individual feeding care.
AS to the difficulty about the
orange juice try giving it to her
in her drinking water. Hold out
on her milk when she refuses.
She'll take it when hungry
enough.
Calcium
Q.-Will you tell me the
foods that contain calcium? l
have suffered from what my
doctor says is q calcium de-
ficiency all my life and I don't
want my child to do so also.
Mrs. D. F. G.
A.-Milk chiefly. also vege-
tables and some fruit. During
pregnancy the mother.to-be
should drink plenty Of milk
and keep it up while nursing
her child. After weaving a
growing child should have from
a pint to a quart Of milk per
day.

INTERVIEWS
AT HAVANA
ABC, Machado Accept
Mediation by WelIes,
New us. Ambassador

HAVANA, June 16.-The interYen-
ton of United States imperialism in
the affairs of its Cuban semi-colony
took shape yesterday as a plan for
the new American Ambassador, Sum-
ner Welles, to mediate between the
brutal Machado dictatorship and its
bourgeois opposition, the Menocal
and Gomez "outs." President Ma
chado's acceptance of such mediation
was followed by the acceptance of
the A.B.C., the secret anti-Machado
terrorist organization which repre-
sents the interests of former Presi-
dent Menocal and other sugar mag
mates.
The last four years bloody struggle
for dominance between the Machado
faction, financed by New York bank
ers and maintaining its power by a
reign of terror, and the bourgeois
opposition, greedy for the rich plums
of office, has finally become "scan-
dial" which Washington can no longer
ignore Now, when the resulting I'M
rest and strife are beginning to hit
the pocketbooks of the American i'm
perialists, the mask of non-interven-
ton is cast aside and intervention is
openly resorted to.
WeIIes, Latin American Agent Of
U. S. Imperialism
Welles, the principal agent in this
intervention, is one of the State De-
partment's experts on Latin Amer
lean affairs. He wrote the new con-
stitution for the Dominican Republic
which legalized the U. S. Marines
occupation Of that country, and is
expected to rewrite the Cuban con-
stitution and election laws within the
next few months, to provide for a
president to whom the butcher
Machado will turn over his power,
pending an election. Whether U. S..
Marines will supervise the election,
as in Nicaragua, has not been an
nounced yet.

the bankers" by themselves buying
Baby Bonds" that is, bonds of
small denomination, 500 and $500.
This scheme, of course, does not
fight the bankers"
1t also has the advantage to them
of raising the value of the bonds
which they now hold since the pro-
posal of the city to sell new bonds
at lower rate of interest will in
crease the value of the bankers bonds
with higher rate of interest.
VIII Cause Higher Taxes.
The whole scheme is doomed to
failure for the simple fact that, the
masses of the people are impover-
ished. Thousands of small home
owners are finding it impossible to
pay their taxes. They cannot buy
bonds. If the city issues Baby
Bonds, they will eventually land in
the hands Of the Wall Street bank
ers, who alone have control over
enormous funds and credit
The final futility of the whole
scheme as a solution for the financial
crisis in the city's budget lies in the
fact that the interest and principal
on the new bond issue will have to
be paid just the same as the interest
on the present bonds held by the
bankers. The issuance of Baby Bonds
will only add to the already intoler-
able financial burden on the city's
budget. They will necessitate heavier
taxes in the end.
More Wage Cuts.
Behind all these financial maneuv-
ers of the city administration turks
the definite threat of wage-cuts in
the near future for salaried city en-
ployees. Realty and business inter-
ests close to Tammany and the city
administration are increasing their
clamor for "retrenchment" in the city
payrolls. And, as has been the case
in the past, the "retrenchment" will
be made at the expense Of the lower
salaries city employees, particularly
the school teachers, who last year re-
ceived 6-8 per cent wage cut. The
Tammany officials of the Board of
Education are already insisting that
the teachers will soon be faced with
the choice of lower wages or loss Of
tenure. The way for salary cuts is
being speedily prepared

income tax, sales tax, a stock trans

now, rejected all proposals to tax

Plan Scent Fare.
1t Is also reported that confer
ence of Tamnany and city officials
decided two days ago upon an in
crease of subway fare to cents to
go into effect after the November
elections. 1t has been stated that
the city government, headed by
Mayor O'Brien, has definitely pro-
missed the bankers that the subway
fare will be increased. This received
strong confirmation from the fact
that one of the two letters sent by
Mayor O'Brien to the bankers has
been carefully kept secret, and that
the reports Of an increased subway
fare have not been met with any de-
malls by the city administration,
which in the past has vociferously
proclaimed its intention Of main
tanning the Scent fare.
The city administration has def
nitely guaranteed the Wall Street
bankers who hold $436 100000 of loans
which fall due on December II, that
the city will raise at least $30,0O0,000
Of new revenue within the near fu-
ture.
A delegation of Wall Street bank
ers, headed by Winthrop Aldrich,
Rockefeller's leading financial agent,
and Frank Polk, one of Morgan's
agents, recently renewed $200,000,000
in short-term loans which 1t holds.
The interest rate which the city must
pay is 534 per cent, at least 8 per
cent higher than the prevailing rates
in the money markets. This costs
the people of New York City $1,000

payments.

EXTRADITION OF
GEO. CRAWFORD
ORDERED TO VA.
LID. Hits Ruling Of
Higher Court

NEW YORK. - The International
Labor Defense yesterday learned that
the U. S. Circuit Court in Boston
had reversed the ruling of Federal
Judge Lowell in refusing to extradite
George Crawford, Negro, to face trial
in Virginia on framedup murder
charge.
1.-THE I. L. D. vigorously protests
against this decision" Frank Spector,
assistant national secretary of the
organization declared. The decision
of the higher court condones the vi
cious system of persecution of the
Negro population and approves the
denial of elementary Constitutional
rights of the Negroes.
ut gives aid and comfort to the
white rulers in the South in openly
Haunting the 18th, 14th and 18th
Constitutional Amendments"
The mighty campaign the I. L. D.
conducted and is carrying on for the
Scottsboro boys and all victims of
national oppression compelled Judge
Lowell to make his decision in the
Crawford case.
The I. L. D. will raise the campaign
to yet higher stage for the freedom
of the Scottsboro boys ind in behalf
of the rights of the Negroes and
backed by masses Of white and Ne
gro people of the United States will
prevent the extradition of Crawford
to Virginia, as well as the extradi-
ton of every other Negro who is
faced by an all white hand-picked
jury to do the bidding of the white
master.
The I. L. D. calls upon all Negro
and white workers and middle class
people to close ranks and present a
united front against the whole vi
cious system of oppression of the
Negro masses.
