Ill.Fated Spanish Ring

Alfonso XII of Spain, father Of
the ex-king, had a beautiful opal
set in ring and on his wedding
day gave it to his wife who died
shortly afterwards. Before the
funeral he gave the ring to his sis
ter and she died in few days. The
king presented the ring then to his
sister-in-law and strangely enough
within three months she was dead.
Taken aback by this strange threaa
Of fatality, he decided to wear the
ring himself and in short time he,

XIII, attained his majority, then

there to safeguard the interests of
the Negro?
Without a Negro press the
Negro is defenseless. Seldom will
his accomplishments be exploited,
His social life will never become
public. Injustice against him will
be overlooked, and propaganda
against him will be rampant. The
Negro press must lead, coordinate
the work of the school, the church
and other worthy institutions, must
protect the Negro.
The Tribune wishes to teach
these facts to it's newsboys, that
they might teach those who do no
know, or have forgotten.
The Negro newspaper SHOULD
have the full support of all sensible
people.
Our newspapers are your men Of
tomorrow. Help them by taking
the paper and paying them
promptly.

aged. You can help-making Race

MAKING RACE LEADERS

The Washington Tribune is
launching upon a constructive pro-
gram that is designed to make fu-
ture race leaders out of its present
newsboys. The Tribune hopes to
teach its boys what the position of
the Negro newspaper is in Negro
community life, and how they can
help as race workers while serving
with Negro newspaper.
The Negro has little protection
in the community outside of the
Negro newspaper. He abides by
laws made by white congressman,
and enforced by white policemen.
Jobs are issued out and denied by
whites. Justice is meted out by
whites. A white press reports

ANGINA PECTORIS

The term angina pectoris really
means pain in the chest but the
condition is classified as a disorder
of the heart. The pain is cramp-
like in character, originating at the
lower border of the chest with a
feeling of a vise-like construction,
the pain radiating from this re-
gion upward over the heart and
often to the left shoulder, down
the left arm and forearm. There
is usually a fear of impending
death because of the uttermost in
tensity of this pain.
This condition often appears in
those who are apparently in vigor-
Gus health and it may prove quick
ly fatal. The underlying cause
varies. An inflammation of the
aorta, a large blood vessel con-
nected to the heart; inflammation
or degeneration of the coronary
arteries, the blood vessels that
nourish the heart muscle; infam-
nation of the pericardium, the
covering of the heart-these and
some unknown factors cause this
unfortunate condition
There are many drugs at GU
disposal now with which to either
stop or mitigate an attack. These
are used either to prevent an i'm
minent attack or at the time one
has begun. For the most part
they have no curative effect.
When possible an exhaustive study
should be made to ascertain the
exact cause in each particular case
and curative treatment directed
thereto. Most cases are not great
ly benefited by any form of
therapy. Anyone who has this
disorder should notice what seems
to bring the attack on and so reg
ulate his life to avoid this predis-
posing cause. Overeating, over
indulgence in alcoholic beverages,
too strenuous work or exercises,
over use of tobacco, mental worry,
and other factors may be asso-
ciated with angina pectoris. The
common sense management of
ease must take these possibilities
under consideration.

this third woman, although he is
very severe in reference to some
others Of her sex. She seems to
have had no faults he did not re-
gard as natural, and therefore to be
fOrgiven because of her many vir-
tues.
Once Silerius discovered his third
wife was jealous of him, and was
astonished. "She knew at our mar
riage," he wrote, that ! had lived
the life Of a goat. Why should she
be jealous? 1t seemed to me I'M

The red lantern signal Is usuaIy
| hung on unsuitable husbands and
wives, IS it is on dangerous bridges.
An old German Is reported az say
Ing: "When our sons moved down
thousands Of French, and woa the
battle, we shouted and drank beer.
When the French killed our sons,
they cheered, and drank wine. When
my son marched away to fight, I
stood in the streets Of this town and
eheered. A letter my son wrote
just before he was killed said he
had lived in France two years, and
liked the French, and they liked
him." In addition to the un-
necessary killing and hate, the
war impoverished the world. :.

understand the moral of this In con-
sidering the next WARP
The habit men have of being arti-
Acial, 0ver-Sentimental, Is very old.
AS far back as Roman times, ST.
lerius was weary of artificial things,
and wrote that they 80 bored him
that he dreaded to go on the streets.
In the Roman Forum, when a young
man nscd fine eloquence to make
false promises, Silerius walked
YEARLY away, and retired to his
study. The last year of his life he
spent in writing his memoirs, and

find this observation:
Writing men have 50 tired the
people with unnatural things, I have
concluded l may better please by
being natural and simple In writ
ing my recOllections. / may thus
at least put down what one man
actually thought and experienced
during a long life; men have be-
come so untruthful in seeking truth
that my method may, indeed, prove
TO be something new, and better rec
ommend my work"
This seems to have been a mis-
taken opinion. Although Silerius
wrote with great simplicity and
frankneSS, Marcus Aurelius, a con-
temporary writing with so much la
Dor and obscurity that critics now
say he Is not understandable, Is
more popular. The natural use Of
writing would seem to be to truth
fully record credits and debts, in
books of history as well as in ae-

decided otherwise.
