HAT BAND VS.. BELLY-BAN

Hal BAND vs.. SELL BAND
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
It is not an elegant expression but
there is a world of truth in the de-
claration that "The hat band and not
tn: belly-band decides the worth Of o
man.. This aphorism means that the
size of the brain and not the size of
stomach-the amount Of avoirdupois
decides a mans worth.
The greatest conquests of the
world have been mental. We call this
a machine age but the machines are
products of mems brains. In warfare
the strategy used behind the lin 5, is
the principal feature. In the dew lop-
ment of science and the propagation
of philosophy, the brain has baen the
chief contributing agency. Many Of
the great intellectual giants have
been lmsn small of stature All these
are in harmony with the declaration
of Alexander Pope, "The minds the
standard of the man."

LOOKING BACK
BY Videtta Ish


(For The Literary Scrvice Bureau)
The world has come to show more
tolerance and more justice toward
unfortunate illegitimate children. Eff
forts are made to give them the
names of their fathers and, in regard
to property rights equal privileges
with legitimate children This belated
justice is to be commended. But it is
carrying it entirely too FAR when IL
legitimacy is sanctioned by society
and in a great measure encouraged.
In the other days the girl who gave
birth 10 a child out Of wedleck be-
came an outcast- Though the double
standard placed on her too large a
share Of the blame, the boy was con-
demned, also. But, today women de-
~liberately and defiantly "have child
rem" to whose fathers the motherf
are not married. In magazine articles
women have given details and made
defense of such conduct
If virtue is worth the name, if
marriage is indispensable, and unless
our whole ethical system is to be re-
volutionized, there must be found a
way to lessen LEGITIMACY. l think
the old ways were the best ways.

JSH MANHOOD; PAY THEM Cash"

" l. OhOOn IN
The above was the subject of a release given to the Am
erica by the Honorable Harland L. Mossman, candid
ate for County Attorney of Douglas County. MIR. Moss
man was the first man to say, stop insulting Americas
manhood by giving him charity through a lot of red tape
Give him a Job and pay him cash instead OF grocery or
ders." Mr.. Mossman says that it is not the duty OK inc
American Government to crush manhood. The duty OF
the Government is to restore confidence IN It's citl-
zen and it cannot restore that CONFIDENCE by giving
them grocery orders today and starving them tomorrow
The Government should make jobs for the unemployed
citizens and pay them cash for their labor and let them
spend it where and with whom they please" !.
Shortly after this news was given to the press OF
the country, thousands Of men began to receive cash Tor
their labor. Every man working on Government pro
iects today SHOULD rdmember the stand MIR. .Mossman
took when it was not popular for any man to speak
in their interest. Mr.. Mossman is the kind OF a fearless
leader that is needed in the County Attorneys office:
Hn has the courage Of his convictions. The honesty OF
his intentions of right cannot be questioned. he IS
one Of the three men in Douglas County who stood by ms
! cI1ns against the Dennison Machine from 1907 till they
were put out of the City Hall. Mr.. Mossrnan has never neen
known to bite his tongue on expressing a Thought or laying
the filth and destruction Of the human family at the door
of the politician where it belongs:
This is thefirst time that Douglas County ana tne

loader for the unselfish service he rendered as an ALL

The automobile industry was first
to be hit, with the tool and die max
ers strike which paralized production,
at a time when demand for cars was
highest in years. This strike was
finally settled, after a fashion, by
Federal ,mediators-but there are
plenty Of rumblings beneath the sur
face still, and it may break out again.
Then shipping onthe Pacific Coast
tied up solid by a longshoremen's
strike, in which other labor organ
izations, including truck drivers and
rivarboatmen, joined through SYM
pathy. Main demands of the long
shoremen r a closed shop and short
err working week.
Then truckmen struck in the twin
cities of St Paul and Minneapolis
placed $500 striking drivers in picket
lines-and caused a shortage of food,
gasoline and other necessities. Union
recognition, CLOSED shop and wage
adjustment were demanded.
Great fear is that the strikes will
spread, will eventually result in a
general indutrial strika which could
only be "~arbitrated" through blood
shed and martial law. Most unbiased
observers believe that both workers
and employers have good points to
presents, but are frankly dubious as
to whether arbitration efforts will
get far. Local authorities r power
less, ara looking to the Federal gov
eminent to solve the problem.

BOARD DIRECTORS OF NAACP.
HOLDS MEETINGS

At the May melting Of the Board,
the following action was taken:
On motion of DIR. Wright. duly Sec
onded, it was VOTED, That The
Crisis is the organ of the Association
and no salaried Officer of the Asso-
citation in the pages of The Crisis;
that any such criticism should be
Drought directly to the Board of Di-
rectors and its publication approved
or disapproved.
J | did not know Of this action until
a week after the June editorials had
been written.
I regret to say that | am unable to
comply with this vote. l do not for a
moment question the right of tn
Board to take this action or its duty
to do SO whenever differences Of
opinion among it's officers become so
wide as to threaten the organization.
Naturally, / seriously question the
wisdom or right of any distinction
between thu opinions of salaried and
u~nsalaried officials.
On the other hand, in thirty-five
years of public service, my contribu-
ton to the settlement of the Negro
problems has been mainly candid
criticism based on a careful effort to
know the facts. | have not always
been right, but | hava been sincere,
and I am unwilling at this late day
to be limited in the expression of my
honest opinions in the way in which
the Board proposes. In fact, THE
CRISIS never was and never vas in
tended to be an organ of the Asso-
citation in the sense of simpy reflect
ing its official opinion. | could point
to a dozen actions of the Board con-
firming this. My ideal for THE
CRISIS has always been that any
ones opinion, no matter how anita
gonistic tc mine, or to that of the AS
ISOLATION, could to a reasonable ex-
tent, find there free and unc1nsored
expression. 1 will not edit THE
CRISIS unless this policy can be con-
tinuud.
I am, therefore, resigning from my

and thirty years, and begat a son in
his own likeness, after his own image.
Genesis 5:3.
There is no intention to comment on
virility of this man who could beget
children after ha had passed the cen
fury mark. Rather, the stressed is
the matter of heredity, as set forth
in the terms "image' and likeness"
-heredity in all of its phases.
1. Image. The term Image" may
be considered phsiologically- The son
was the "flesh and blood" of his IA
Their and his body resembled that OF
his father. This is in keeping with
the laws of anthropology and the more
retrictiva functions Of biology and Of
physiology. And he transmission OF
physical appearance and physical
strength or weakness is as pronounced
as ever.
2. Likeness. may also be applied
to physical resemblance, but it runs
the whole gamut Of intellectual, ethi-
cal and spiritual characteristics, as
well. 1t includes mental capabilities,
ethical cast and spiritual endowments.
8. Lessons Taught. Believing in
heredity men recognize the necessity
for giving to their offsprings the
basis for good health and longevity.
But many Of them are not creful in
regard to the moral and spiritual
heritage they give to their children.
Yet, the functions and operations of

worthy Of consideration in connection

TIRES

In reconditioning YOUR car for the summer driving
campaign, it is to be hoped that you did not stop
with the engine, the brakes, the lights. Of course, these
must be in perfect shape, but perhaps you overlooked a
vital safety feature in every automobile-the tires.
While YOUR brakes stop the wheels, it is the tires
that stop the car. That fact is being emphasized in this
day of high speed and increased horsepower If you go
fast, yu must stop quickly. And that is where a good
tire comes in.
Figures, obtained by the National Bureau Of
Casualty and Surety Underwriters, indicate that three
fourths of the cars inspected in a number of states last
year had dangerous defects: Nearly 4S per cent Of these
detective cars were equipped with tires that were
either poor or in fair condition. A poor, even a fair tire,
is liable to a puncture of a blowout, and everyone knows
what that means at high speeds.
All drivers have noticed the abnormal number Of
blowouts and %punctlres during the first warm daps. The
heat has raised the air pressure and a Worn tire has
blown out or punctured an a sharp obstruction of a severe
bump. During the winter months the dampness has
seeped in through the cuts and burises producer by thou
sands of miles of driving. This dampnass has decayed
the rubber and weakened the tire.
There we're 7.12O accidents last year due to- pune
lures and blow outs. In 480 of these accidents persons
were nilled and there were 27,160 skidding accidents in
which 1920 persons were killed and 10000 injured.
Look your tires over carefully and if they are not
up to standard replace them!

IN tell you one thing" Howard

end, with a brilliant set of backs in
Grayson. Hamilton, Alustiza and sew
eral others. I don't believe any
ground attack can make much head
way against such people as Reynolds,
Galloway, Moscrip and Muller, backed
up by strong secondary help. STAN
ford not only has big men. but big
men who are fast and active. Any
foot ball team can be beaten on a cer-
tain day, but it will take quite a foot
ball team to handle this Stanford out

These foot ball arguments are in
teresting, sometimes" remarked
Zuppke, but where do they get you
when team can score 27 points in
IS minutes against the Chicago Bears?
There is no possible way to rank foot
ball teams, because they don't play the
same schedules. Some meet teams
that are up and some meet the same
teams that are down that particular
day-which proves nothing. But you
don't have to prove anything to keep
an argument going, which is the main
idea.'
