horrible automobile toll-a toll

Zulus Want To
Keep Race Pure
Rap Missionaries

Ladysmith, Natal, South At
rica, Aug. q, amp - Zulu
chieftains held a conference here
recently and made a demand for
legislation to maintain the purity
of their race from mixtures or in
termarriage between Asiatics and
Zulus.
The Zulu chieftains also
begged the government to pro-
tect them "from the darkness
east upon the natives by the num-
erous religious sects which flour
ish so prolifically in Zululand."
They stated that in Zululand
alone about 80 sects-most of
them from the United States
were propounding their various
and varying paths of life-
The chiefs grew quite warm
over this matter and agreed upon
a resolution calling upon the
Union government to put a stop
to all undesirable creeds and
superstitions, and permit only
recognized churches of South
Africa to give scriptural instruc-
ton to Bantus."
The editor of ode Vader-
land" published in Prestoria,
was much taken in by the Zulu
opposition to intermarriage. He
commented:
Thanks to the late Tielman
Roos, we have progressed far
enough to prohibit marriages be-
tween white and black and to
make extra-martial relations a
penal Offense. Yet, on this ques.
ton, our knowledge and senti-
ments are still so crude that we
have not placed the slightest OBJ
stacle in the way between Ash
atics and Zulus, or even China
men and Europeans. In the same
manner, we sit watching the
problem Of mental deficiency
which threatens our community
and do nothing about it. We are
painfully aware and anxious
about our breeding stock, but oul
people are permitted to drift tx
perdition as they will. We hope
the complaint Of the Zulu chiefs
viii not fall on deaf ears"
The editor then proceeded tt
show how the Zulus have deter
iorated through admixture Will
the despised Makalanga and
Shangaans thereby inferentially
drawing a picture between Zulu
miscegenation and that of thu
South African Dutch.

'ElkS Condemn
Labor Unions For
Jim Crow

The condemning Of labor organ
izations throughout the country
which bar men and women from
membership because Of their col
or and the setting into machinery
legislative effort to deny exist
ence to such organizations and
the creating Of permanent organ
ization to correct educational and
economic determinations against
our people in the South, were high
spots of the annual convention Of
the Improved Benevolent and
Protective Order Of Elks Of the
World in session here this week.
The confab closes on Saturday.
Records Of public men as to
their acts and attitudes Of lynch
ing, discrimination, segregation,
and other activities based On color
or race, were made the subject Of
study for the purpose Of organiza-
ton Of effective political opposi-
ton.
Officers Of the convention are
directed to demoralize the Presi-
dent and Congress as to failure
of the social security bill to cover
in its provisions the domestic
worker the casual laborer and the
agricultural worker. A national
bureau Of economies to give at
tention to the problems Of Our
people, similar to the studies made
for educational purposes by the
United States Office Of Educa-
ton, was proposed. The confer
ence was made an annual part Of
the program by the grand lodge
Of Elks.
Bedecked in gay attire, this eli
ty is offering a warm welcome to
Elks and women Of the grand
temple. The convention is not as
largely attended as it has been in
previous years. Some say it is the
depression while others contend
that it is because there is no cleo
ton Of the grand exalted ruler.
Two years ago in Indianapolis,
the Elks' amended their cOnstitu-
ton To provide for the election Of
a grand exalted ruler every two
years. AT the convention in Allan
tic City last year a controversy
arose as to whether the election
Of J. Finley Wilson, grand exalt-
ed ruler, of Indianapolis was for
one or two years
1t was ruled that the law pro-
viding for a two-year term for the
grand exalted ruler became eff
fective after adjournment Of the
Indianapolis grand lodge, and
that Mr. Wilson'S term had ex-
pired.
After the ruling was made, the
rules were suspended and Wilson
was reelected for a term Of two
years, maxim gthis a off year for
the election Of the grand exalted
ruler.
In the fight for offices, it ap-
pears that the James E. Kelly,
grand secretary and Judge VIII
liam G. Hueston, commissioner OF
education are to face some stiff
opponents.

modern, adequate traffic codes
that are enforced to the limit. In
the average state, traffic law en-
forcement is weak and made

ers, the dangerous driver.
Every motorist should regard
the war on the reckless and in
competent driver as a public
duty, In which all should partici-
pate so far as they can.
