Investigation by the United States

that the main diet of skunks consists
of grasshoppers, crickets, beetles,
mice. rats, ground squirrels, pocket
gophers and sometimes stems Of sue

do their hunting at distances from
the haunts of men.
Although usually safe because of
its protective 'smell-gun," the skunk
sometimes falls victim to wolves,
coyotes. foxes, badgers, and great
horned owls.
The general color of the skunk is
black with a thin white stripe be-
tween the eyes. This stripe forks
at the shoulders and continues along
the sides until it reaches the tail.
The tail is furred with black hairs
with white bases, and ends usually
in a white tuft. There is much va

A Doctor Knows!

There's q very good reason why
doctors and hospitals have always
used liquid laxatives! You'd use a
liquid, too, if you knew how much
better it makes you feel.
A liquid laxative can always be
taken in the right amount. You can
gradually reduce the dose. Reduced
dosage IS the secret Of real and safe
relief from constipation.
Just ask your own doctor about
this. Ask your druggist how popular
LIQUID laxatives have become. The
right liquid laxative gives the right
kind Of help, and the right amount
of help. When the dose is repeated,
instead of more each time, you take
less. Until the bowels are moving
regularly and thoroughly without
any Selp at all.
People who have experienced this
comfort, never return to any form
of help that can't be regulated! The

Poor Dotty! She was all Jagged out, cause Duncy'd chased her all about. Brave Scouty noticed this, and shouted, "Oh, let her alone.

 Then Duncy stopped and said, "Aw, gee, most everybody picks on me, just 'cvause I want to have a little fun with this fat worm.
 "I held the strange thing way up high, which made wee Dotty shout and cry. If shed just stop and look, she'd have to laugh to see it squirm."
 Just then they heard a rooster crow and Coppy loudly shouted, "Oh, the bird is coming right this way. It's up to something, now"

DUBOIS THINKS ITALY WILL
WIN IN WAR

New York Writing under the
title, "Interracial Implications of
the Ethiopian Crisis" in Foreign
Affairs for October, DR.. W. E. B.
Dubois ventures the prediction
that the probabilities are that
Italy will win in a war against the
black kingdom, but that it will be
a costly victory both for Italy and
the white world.
He pictures the colored people
Of the United States as being dis
illusioned in their hope that the
white world would show any JUS
tice based on ability and accom-
plishment, and opines that the re-
suits of the white worlds program
of economic exploitation based on
the excuse of race prejudice can
only be awaited.

Girl Guest Kills
Hostess Who Got
Mystery Telegram

Philadelphia-What did a tele-
gram received by Miss Beatrice
Wayne, %, of 1910 Jefferson St.,
contain that should have cost her
life?
This question may never be an
swered, for she is dead, and Miss
Queenie Parker, %, a Chicago girl
who was visiting her, is at large,
charged with shooting her hostess
to death after the latter had torn
the mysterious message to bits.
Was Visitor
Detectives investigating the kill
ing say Miss Parker flew from the
Windy City to New York to wit
ness the Joe Louis fight. On her
way home she stopped over to
visit Miss Wayne, arriving at the
Jefferson street home on Wednes-
day afternoon.
After pleasant evening, during
which the friends visited a num-
Der of movies and night clubs,
they returned to the apartment.
Shortly after their arrival, a tele-
gram came for Miss Wayne.
Signed Leon
Police say Miss Parker saw the
signature on the telegram, and
that they believed she recognized
it as that of her alleged lover,
Leon. When Miss Wayne refused
to let her read it, a quarrel en-
sued, which later developed into
an alteration.
Miss Parker drew a revolver
and sent a death bullet into the
head of Miss Wayne, who died at
the st. Joseph Hospital on Thurs
day.

American Negro is an economic
problem. An interview snatched in
ten minutes cannot hit more than
the highights, but when I talked
to Mr.. Hughes in Dean Willey's
office at the University the morn
ing after his arrival in Mime
apolis, he was quick to make this
point emphatic. His poems are
mainly poems of Negroes in the
lower economic bracket, and these
poems have grown out of his ex-
perience and contacts with those
who have suffered under the pres
ent social scheme which cripples
the economic opportunities offered
to the race.
Langston Hughes, at thirty
three, has seen more of the worlds
far away places than a good many
experienced travellers. He has
knocked about from one foreign
corner to the other, on shipboard
and on land, but in all of his globe
trotting he says that he has found
few places where the Negro was
not Disseminated against. Even
in Africa, the homeland of the
Negro race, he found prejudice.
During his travels he spent a
year in the Soviet Union, and it
is his opinion that the Russian ex-
pertinent is working out satisfac-
torily.
"The Russian young people are
happy" said Mr.. Hughes. "They
have something to work for. Of
course, there are dissatisfied people
but they are found everywhere, no
matter what the conditions may
be-"
When asked about Germany and
the Hitler regime, Hughes laughed.
81 don't pretend to be an authority
on world affairs, so I really don't
know anything about the German
situation. ] spent only one day
there"
His literary activities have been
varied, ranging from poetry to
playwriting. During the time that
he was in Russia he was supposed
to have helped with the making
of a Russian motion picture de-
picting Negro life, but unfortun-
ately the project came to nothing.
Within the next few weeks, a play
written by him will open on Broad
