NEW WORKERS PROTEST
AGAINST IMPRISONMENT OF
FAMOUS HAITIAN AUTHOR

New York.-CNA-A delega-
ton Of IL prominent Negro and
white professionals and labor
leaders visited the office Of the
local Haitian consul here last
week. They demanded the imme-
date unconditional release Of
Jacques Roman and all political
prisoners in Haiti. Roman was
railroaded to Jail for organizing
'Scottsboro Defense Committee.
The local consul, Charles Vim
cent, promised to submit the form
al protest and demand to his
brother, Stenio Vincent, president
Of Haiti.
Roman Beloved BY Haitians
Jacques Roman is a Haitian au-
thor highly esteemed in France
and beloved by the oppressed peo-
pie Of his native country. Be
cause Of his untiring fight for the
rights Of all the oppressed, Hal
tian officials fear him.
For his activity in organizing a
Scootsboro committee, he was
thrown into prison on the trump
ed up charge Of importing materi-
ais into Haiti for the overthrow
OF the government. The govern
ment based its charge on the dis
tortion of the word "materiaux"
to mean war arms. The only ma
terials the government found in
Romans possession were CO.
pies of Gle Cri de Negroes" or
gan Of the French Negro workers.
He was court-martialled and SEN
fenced to three years imprison-
ment. An appeal for a new trial
was refused on a technicality.

Fathers Letter To Alta Vesta, No. .
Dear little Daughter:

Dear little Daughter:
Your letter was bright and spark
ling. am glad you had a nice party
and I'm sure all enjoyed it. You
didn't tell me about refreshments or
about your company, but | know
everything was all right.
So, I'm your banker, am I? Yes,
dear, | am. But you do not write a
check to your banker, but on your
banker. A check is an order on your
banker. Well, in a sense it is to your
banker, but that is not the regular
way Of expressing it. I am sending
you money to purchase all that was
on your list and a little more. Have
parties whenever your dear aurt
thinks advisable and bring into your
young life all the innocent pleasure
possible. Give my love to Aunt Cor
nelia.

Friends:
/ truly hope you like my poem, and
If you grasp It as you should, and
I think you will, you will get a lot OF
good out Of it. Plant 1t in your mind,
and try to say it at least once a day
and instead Of all that ballyhoo that
you make a daily study, try to do
some good deed, no matter how small,
and you will find pleasure after pleas
ure coming into your life. Between
yesterday and tomorrow Will be the
happiest day Of your life. Try it!
When we look back and see yesterday
gone without any gain, and today
tasty passing with the same, we
know u fate for tomorrow will not
be a bright one. And we should know
that tomorrow expects more Of US
than yesterday because in this fast
Progressing world it is expected Of US
to do something between yesterday
and tomorrow. Think this over care
fully, and act as you see fit. But re-
member if you don't consider tomor-
row, when it comes and i'll health, mis-
fortune or the hand Of fate grasps
you, there is no one but yourself to
blame. Remember, what l am saving:
While you are having a good time, as
you call it, and your so-called friends
are slipping those cocktails while you
pay for them today, they may laugh
at you when you are unable to do it
tomorrow. Who knows any better
than you how quick your friends can
forget you when all of your cash is
gone. What did / say last week?
Never be a better friend to anyone
than you are to yourself, and by 80
doing, you will be a good friend to
your friends. Just a tip, take it or
leave it.
Several of the men have asked me
for some Of my toasts, and while I am
in the mood, I will give you one that
you can say anywhere. / will also
give you one each week, but like the
mind reader tells you, some of them
you will have to have q private read

The Yankees gave him every
chance to regain his place in the
lineup, but broken bones mend
slowly, and Dusty moved along to
Newark for a while. His throwing
improved and he hit the minor
league pitchers. The Red Sox
bought him.
But he didn't step into the
picture right away. He had to
convince the skeptics that he
was in condition to play major
league baseball. Well, he's in the

Cronin's patience will be richly

Lefty has recovered his fast

half cooked and smack the ball up
against the distant fences. The

poppies will be distributed by the
Auxiliary members, the Sons OF The
Legion and the Juniors. Every pen
ny contributed in exchange for the
flowers will go for the welfare ac-
tivities of the Legion and Auxiliary.
The enthusiasm Of our women for
the Poppy Day project Is due to the
two great purposes which the little
memorial flower achieves: FIRST,
it pays tribute to those gallant young
men who sacrificed their lives in
defense of American ideals on the
poppy-studded battlefelds Of France
and Belgium. Second, It raises funds
for the relief and rehabilitation OF
the living victims OF the war, the
disabled veterans. their families, and
the families Of the dead. We are
hoping that the people Of Milford
will understand the significance OF
the poppy and give Us their support

ONCE A CRIME TO CUT
WOOD At CAPE HENLOPEN

One hundred and twenty-five years
ago there was forest. IL is said,
containing several hundred. acres in
the area Of Cape HenlOpen. In those
days it was customary for Lewes folk
to go to the ''Capes" and. get their
winters supply Of wood. This was
the custom for many years. Finally
law was passed which made it a
criminal oifense to cut the trees,
probably because the area was con-
sidered state land, and there was a
desire to retain them to prevent eTO-
sion and have the wooded section
present a picturesque scene at the
entrance Of the Delaware Break
water. After the passage of the
statute, a larger number Of men
were indicted in the Court of Gen
,eral Sessions for taking wood from
the Cape" but so far as can be
learned only one man was convicted.
This man was David Wolfe who, on
April 2Srd, 1912. was fined $500.
Wolfe, no doubt, was not aware
Of the provisions of the statute un-
der which he was brought into court.
In the opinion of the court, the Of
fense must have been considered
somewhat trivial or else a much
heavier fine would have been i'm
posed. There is no record OF any
other conviction or indictment there
after. It might be that the law was
or the attorney general
considered getting wood from the
public land such a small matter that
he did not want to bother with
bringing large numbers into court.
Many years later, it is stated. the
public at large could go on the
''capes" and get supply without
The story is told that when Lewes
was bombarded by the British in
1912, that logs were placed on the
beach in such positions that they re-
sembled. cannon. Some OF the trees
felled from the ecapes" mzg have
been used for that purpose.
