ST. PAUL RECORDER

"Man cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead
There's virtue in these solemn
words I've read;
If you like person, show it,
In some way, let him know it,
Make him feel he has the prestige
of a king;
Tho in desert, swamp or flowers,
Paint for him rose-covered bowers,
And to his heart, much love and
sunshine bring!
"Man cannot read his tombstone
when he's head
He won't care if those bouquets
are black or red;
There's no sermon can express it,
No biographies can stress it,
He won't care what's placed above
his sleeping brow
So, if he's worthy of your praises,
And your admiration raises,
Don't wait until tomorrow
Tell him now!

THE ENDOCRINE GLANDS

In the last two decades there
has been an ever-increasing study
of the glands of internal secretion,
commonly called the endocrine
glands. These organs give Sc
cretions to the blood stream which
have an important effect on body
function and economy. They have
either a chemical or catalytical ac-
ton on body tissue. When the Sc
erection is insufficient or when it is
over-produced, certain definite re-
suits occur and the individual be-
gins to complain of symptoms
which are indicative of disfunc-
ton. The thyroid, pituitary, pan
create, ovarian, testicular, adrenal,
and parathyroid glands, the i'm
portant endocrines, are located in
the neck, in the brain, in the abb
dominal cavity by the stomach, in
the pelvic cavity, in the scrotal
sac, over the kidneys and in the
neck along with the thyroid, re-
spectively. For example, increased
secretion of the thyroid increases
body metabolism with nervous
ness, headaches, palpitation, weak
ness, prominence of eyes, etc. De-
creased secretion causes dryness of
skin, sluggishness, weakness,
apathy.
The pituitary gland has to do
with body stature obesity, water
excretion. The ovarian and testicu-
lar glands control sexual charac-
teristics and potency. The pan
create gland through some spe-
cialized cells, the islands of Lang
erhans, is active from an endocrine
standpoint in sugar metabolism,
preventing diabetes mellitus. The
adrenaI glands are associated with
body strength, courage, precocity,
and undernutrition. The para
thyroids are associated with calcium
metabolism and thereby with heal
ing of tissue, the strength of bones
and teeth, and the tone of muscles
and nerves.
All of these glands are inter
related and correlated so that dis
turbance in one sets up a compen-
satory reaction in one or more of
the others. To determine whether
or not any of these glands are
functioning properly is no easy
matter. Many special methods are

HERE and
THERE
By w. M. Smith

The cocksureness of youth!
Amusing at times, yet how admir-
able, how necessary. The dynamic
assurance with which youth attacks
problems their elders have studied
and given up as insoluble have
been responsible for many of the
advances of the past, is the in
spiratiOn of many things in the
making; is the hope with which
we face the future.
Without that exuberant and ir-
repressible optimism youth would
be but spineless thing; without
it's courage and it's strong belief
in its own power of accomplish
ment Negro youth, at least, would
lack the incentive to grow leaders
strong, unpurchasable and depend
able like A. Philip Randolph,
Geo. Schuyler and host of other
young men who have cultivated
these qualities tempered and re-
fined in the school of thought and
action.
Without youth and it's indOmit-
able determination to overcome any
and all obstacles the Twin Cities
would yet lack the best race news
papers it has ever possessed. It
is the youth of our city that is
carrying on the fine traditions of
our Forums, giving us that splen-
did educational entertainment for
cur leisure Sunday afternoon hours,
building for the future, bringing
true the dreams and ambitions of
our unc0nquerable young.
So we smile at youth, it's i'm
petuosity, its cocksureness, but in
diligently. We pat it on the back
and say, go to it, you can but try,
you may be successful!
Women are queer. Many of
them are something else than
beautiful. Some are Indifferent,
cold, selfish, and some appear to
be just dumb.
AS none of my readers qualify
under this last classification I may
not offend if write of one of that
type who in large numbers patron
ize the street cars. She was a well
developed physical specimen and
when she boarded the car and
stood squarely beside the fare box
left no room for others to pass on
or off. Reaching for the small
valise that most women affect,
she sought in its depths for her
small purse from which she took
a dollar bill and purchased six to-
kens. Taking these, carefully
counting her change, she deposited
her fare, returning the rest and
her money in the purse, the purse
back in her bag, then suddenly re-
called the need of a transfer. Sc
curing this the whole process was
gone over again; the purse was
opened, the transfer enclosed, the
purse put in the bag and then,
without conscious glance for the
men and women who in the mean
while had been pushing and
sauirming irving to pass on or of

CROWDS HEAR RANDOLPH
Continued from Page i

Tightening talk spoke of the history
of the Brotherhood, its years of
effort to effect a fruitful organi-
cation and of the later develop
ments which induced the presence
in the Twin Cities of the National
Organizer, the Hon. 0. Philip
Randolph.
Noted Orator
Mr.. Randolph whose oratory is of
national renown and of itself the
occasion of an immense gathering
whenever he speaks, on this visit to
the Twin Cities was no less the
finished and elegant orator but de-
voted himself to a logical presenta-
ton and argument in defense of
the Brotherhood and the value of
its efforts in behalf of self deter
mination of the Pullman workers
and incidentally of all the Negro
people.
Describes Recent Laws
In each of his talks the speaker
elaborated upon the laws enacted
by Congress for the protection of
the railway men; how these laws
failed to include in their provisions
the powerful Pullman company
and thereby eliminated from their
benefits the Negro men and women
in the employ of the corporation.
Through the efforts of the
Brotherhood amendments were Of
fered and adopted by Congress cor
recting these vital defects of
previous laws and giving to the
employees protection never be-
fore granted them.
The passing of these amend
ments, the speaker declared, gave
to handful of Negro workers a
victory of such widespread sig
nificance as the long years of
trials by workers organized under
the American Federation of Labor
had failed to accomplish.
In the closing minutes of his
speech Mr.. Randolph with intense
earnestness and compelling elo-
quence paid tribute of praise to
the small but undauntable group
of workers undismayed by the re-
verses of the years, the uncertain
support of their fellows, the
treachery Of many and the vicious
discrimination of the employing
company, had proved loyal through
the stress of years, sacrificing their
all on the altar of duty and loyalty
to race.
The future of race progress, said
Mr.. Randolph, depends upon its
willingness to sacrifice and suffer.
Without these, he declared, no
people in history has ever been
able to free itself from servitude
and the infamous conditions that
prevent it's upward climb.

"The educated Negro" asserts
DR.. Howard Thurman, Howard
gu" instructor, sis in need of a
major operation on his personal
ity." Hitting the professional class,
Thurman said, 1--WE are developing
small and increasingly large
sterile, trained nucleus which is
cutting itself off from the blood
supply of the masses, upon whose
back they must ride. If they get
gold they must line their pockets
with the CUTS of these poor peo-
ple."
This is a very severe Indictment
and one with enough truth in it to
cause us to ponder.
We were among those who were
unable to hear A. Phillip Ran
dolph, president of the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters, at
his two principal appearances in
the Twin Cities. Other duties in
tervened.
Randolph to our mind represents
the highest type of Negro leader
ship. Equipped by education and
training he might exploit his peo-
pie as many lesser leaders do, he
has, instead, sacrificed his oppor-
tunity for financial affluence, fight
ing the battles of the most. ex-
plotted and underpaid workers in
America-the Negro workers. A
brilliant and eloquent speaker, a
fine writer and publicist, he has
spent the past few years attempt
ing to organize Pullman porters.
His fight has been one of great
significance because the powerful
Pullman company has used every
method legal and illegal to keep
the porters from organizing their
own union.
Many a man less stout of heart
would have given up the fight, but
Phillip Randolph has never relin-
pushed the battle fighting on for
the right of Pullman workers to
organize themselves to be able to
bargain equitably with their en-,
ployers.
If we were called upon to NOM
mate man for the Nobel prize
we would Immediately name Ran
dolph. No two men who have re-
ceived the Spingaren medal or the
Nobel prize for that matter have
done as much or sacrificed so much
for people.
We need more men like Ran
