NO Fear of Decisions
On Rights for Negroes
Huntsville, Ala. Times Says Ways Exist to
Circumvent Rulings ON Jury Service

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, April 81
Confidence in their ability to cir
cumvent any court ruling" which
holds that the systematic exclusion of
Negroes from juries is violation of
the Fourteenth amendment to the
U. s. Constitution, Yves expressed to-
day in an editorial in the Huntsville
Times"
The paper is published in the home
town of Victoria Price, perjured pro-
sscutioi witness in the Scottsboro
trial, and the lynch center of north
ern Alabama.
Referring 10 the raising of This
issue iii the Scottsboro and ITALIA
poosa trials and the recent action of
Judge Lowell in refusing to extradite
George Crawford, a Negro, to Vir-
GINA from Massachusetts the edi-
torial says:
"A Massachusetts, federal judge
yesterday granted writ of habeas
corpus to Negro, wanted in Viz
ginia for the murder of two white
women on the ground that Virginia
does not allow Negroes upn juries,
and therefore that the defendant
could not and would not receive a
fair trial.
"Ike question of Negroes on
Southern iuries was raised in the
first Of the Scottsboro cases. 1t
was also the first point raised in
the trial of several Negroes, now in
progress at DadeVille.

And as hatred for Parker sank deep

northumberland Parker. Fear that
he would lose trade in his store. fear
that the Negro troopers would move

Parker knew that in every cabin

The Fighting
Vet
BY H. f. BRIGGS
The Case Of Arthur Hale

Arthur Hale, who took part in the
first Bonus March and last winters
Hunger March, was picked up by the
police of Washington, D. c. After e
brutal beating for reasons known
only to the sadistic thugs who wear
the blue uniform, this vet was thrown
into Jail and again beaten and
kicked almost unconscious. His
papers and personal belongings were
taken from him.
Not being able to hold him on any
charge, they released him and
framed him for deportation as an
alien. Although 80 years in this
country, he is to be deported to Eng
land unless mass pressure is brought
to bear on this case.
AS usual the I. L. D., that fore
most fighter for the rights Of all
workers and vets, has taken the
case. His attorney is Samuel Levin
son, 4O9 Columbian Building, Wash
ington, D. c. This is a case deserv-
ing the militant support Of all mem
bers of the WESL.

Ry PAUL HARRISON

New York, May 13-It,s sad soiree.
a dull dansant, or even an unusual
evening at a fashionable night club
that doesn't turn out enough titled
personages to stock a medium sized
royal court. Counts and countesses,
marquises and marchionesses, princes
and princessses are all over the place.
Their names are on the very
choicest invitation lists, and are set
off impressively In the society col
umns. Some, Of course, are in the So
cial register by native right. The
Princess Miguel de Braganza, for in
stance. was Anita Stewart in 1909, and
related to the Rhinelanders and
WitherbeeS and other blue -blooded
American families. She married the
late Prince Miguel, who renounced his
claim to the now nonresident throne
of Portugal.
Russian titles predoininate, partly
because they are handed down gener-
ously to all the children of noble
Russian line. Thus, Arthur and Nj
cause their father was one.
Any night at the Central Park
Casino, or at the Waldorf, are likely
to be seen such titled folk as the
Grand Duchess Marie, Prince George
Matchabelli, Prince Serge Obolensky,
Prince Paul Chavchavdze and Prin-
cess Nina, Count Mario di Zoppola,
Prince George of Russia, the Countess

will be farm relief and bank re-
lief. In my judgment this amend
ment solves every problem We
have so far as a money policy
can solve them"
This statement is probably true
enough-provided that its final words
are always remembered. The new
scheme will solve our problems 80
tar as a money policy can solve
them; but it must not be forgotten
that some of them cannot be solved
by a money policy, and that the re-
form and recovery program previously
outlined by the administration still
needs to be pushed ahead.
The problem of direct relief for un-
employment is still with us, for ex-
ample. The measures designed to
rectify the glaring faults in our bank
ing system are just as much needed
as ever. The federal blue sky"
proposition is as vital as ever.
A start has been made, and there
is plenty of reason to believe that it
is going to do us a lot of good. So
long as we don't get so optimistic
that we assume there is nothing more
to- be done We ought to make out
splendidly.

so CALCIUM IS GOOD FOR
RHEUMATIC?

A great many persons suffering
with recurring hives, hay fever, bron-
chial asthma, or periodic sick head
aches (migraine) have obtained con-
siderable benefit from taking calcium.
I have recommended particularly to
migraine victims the taking of, say,
ten grains of calcium lactate three
times day for period OF ten weeks.
Calcium lactate is best dissolved In
little hot water, and this mixed with
nearly glassful of cold water, the
dose to be taken soon after the meal.
1t has a taste, not very bad, but the
taste may be covered by putting few
drops of lemon juice in the water. or
some syrup of orange, or one may take
the nearly tasteless gluconate Of cal
cium instead of the lactate, tho the
gluconate is too expensive, I think.
Occasionally calcium lactate 1rritates
or upsets sensitive stomach. It that
happens, it is too bad, but fortunately
this is still free country and you
needn't take any more OF the stuff,
you know. In any case. please re-
member I do not guarantee 1T to 90
anything; I merely assure you 1t Is
a harmless experiment to try.
Every little while some reader
writes in to tell me of the remarkable
benefit he or she has experienced
from this course of calcium lactate.
Now in my playroom have two por-
traits-I'd have three If there were
authentic pictures of Father Hippo
krates. The two likenesses keep be-
fore me are the beloved T. r. and the
philosophical John j. Coincidence. I
look to T. r. for inspiration when l
get an exceptionally hard Jolt or KICK
, in the pants; and to J. ]. for forbear-
ance when I get testimonial. AL
ways until now old j. j. has helped
me to laugh off the solemn aSsevera-
tions of many of these readers that
a dose or two Of calcium lactate gives
immediate relief to headache.
Now comes q physician. DR.. Cod
frey Tavares, who reports In Mum
chener medizinische Wochenschr1ft
that he has been given calcium lac
tate with uniform satisfaction Tor pre-
cisely that purpose these many years
that is, he has found it serves well
as an analgesic (painkiller) not only
in neuralgia and headache but IN
neuritis, rheumatism or what have
you. This physician says it has
brought about complete cures in not
a few cases of these Affections when
the ordinary remedies have failed. He
believes calcium lactate is most ef-
fective when given as above directed
and in doses Of from ten to twenty
| grains.
There it is. And that's all there
is. Don't ask me for any more. You
take it or leave 1t. Sometimes you
take it and leave it, too.
I have but one last word to add
Just now as I looked up at old John
J. saw him wink slowly. That re-
minds mel quoted DR.. Tavares's re-
port from a German medical journal
The Germans are great ones for
