A TREMENDOUS and vitality important vol
N ume is the 746-page BLACK Reconstruc-
ton" the story of the Negro races economic
history in the United States since the Civil war
by the great Negro historian Prof. w. T. Burg
hart Du Bots (Harcourt,. Brace; S450).
Comparable in clarity and originality with
The Rise of American Civilization, by the
Boards. BLACK Reconstruction is an intensely
personal work Of the brilliant DR.. Du Bois and
it will serve to rank him with the greatest MS
torians this nation has produced.
Considering the Negro not as inferior to the
white man by nature, but merely handicapped
by the lack of education and capital, DR.. Du
Bots warns his readers at the outset of his point
of view asserting that those who do not see
growth in the Negro will not welcome his book.
BY reconstruction, DR.. Du Bots means that
period Of economic upheaval in the South from
1860 to 1880 when the slave labor system was
disrupted and the Negro compelled to become
self-sustaining. He paints the growing swell
Of Negro dissatisfaction mounting in the war
wears until it becomes a general strike, and the
transfer of the Negroes labor from the South's
planters to the North's invaders. DR.. Du Bots
contends this forced the hand of President Lin
coin whom he sees as compelled to free the
slaves to make use Of them since the draft was
not Welding enough white soldiers
DIR. Du Bots, true to his more than quarter
of a century Of unselfish work, is an evangelist
for education.
1T is" he writes zones moral duty to see
that every human being, to the extent OF his
capacity, escapes ignorance, poverty and crime.
DR.. Du Bots has written a personal master
piece. He deserves far more than reviewers

Baskerville

THIS surname is of French origin
and is traced to the parish Of
Bacqueville, anciently spelled Basque
vile, near the seaport town Of Dieppe.
The family was introduced into Eng
land by Martels de Basqueville. who
was one of the followers of William
the Conqueror, and fought in the Bat
tie of Hastings in 1866. One Of his
descendants, who served as butler to
King Stephen, used the name Of
Martel.
The coat of arms here displayed was
borne to America by John Baskerville,
who came to Virginia and settled in
York County prior to 1867. He par
ticipated in the public affairs of his
time, serving as clerk Of the court, and
in other civil capacities. He married
Mary, the daughter of Col. William
Barber Of York County. Some OF
their descendants settled In Cumber-
land County. while others moved into
neighboring States. John, the founder
of the line, was born in 1885. the
fifth child of John and Magdelen
Baskerville, of Goosetry. Cheshire,
England. The line can be traced to
John de Baskerville, knight Of Old
Wilmington. A. D. 1866.

a mate and begin housekeeping. At
this time you would be delighted to
hear the lovely, melodioUs song Of the
happy suitor. His colors are bright,
for his wedding garments are new.
You will have no difficulty in iden-
tifying him. His general color Is a
soft, strawberry red. fiecked with
gray. This color predominates about
the head, under wings and legs. His
handsome tail and wings are marked
with brown, black and white. Between
the shoulders there is q series Of
markings, too noticeable to escape
your eye. The under parts are washed
IN pale red. merging into q lovely
gray green.
One glance at his sturdy beak and
clear eye is enough to convince you
that he is bird of determination.
His spouse is clothed in modest slate
brown, giving a general appearance
from a distance of a garment of
olive yellow. Her wings and tail have
the same color pattern as her mates.
Her under parts are ash-gray. tinted
with brownish-yellow.
The offspring. as soon as they lose
their natal down, take on the colors Of
their mother. The sons, when their
wedding date arrives, which is their
second birthday. are. OF course, those
similar to their fathers.

Pine Grosbeak
(Piricola enucleator caradensis).

In the woods, these beautiful birds
are q lovely contrast to the deep
greens Of the foliage. They race
happily about, deeply engrossed in
their own affairs.
In Bangor, Me-, nests have been
found around the first Of June. The
nursery Is few feet from the ground,
q sturdy affair, with outer walls built
of twigs and rootlets, while the inner
ones are Of finer materials. There are
usually four pale greenish-blue eggs,
spotted and blotched with dark brown,
and there are lilac shell-spots.
During the Winter, the pine gros-
beaks come southwark. 1t may be

in Washington, rare in the Bronx

higher average, it is predicted.
This prediction is based on the
fact that drivers in this years 500
mile grind will not have to worry
about gasoline conservation, a con-
dition that kept many of them from
opening up in last years grind.
Have Fuel to Spare
A fuel limit of As gallons was
clamped on last year, the first time
gasoline consumption ever was cur
tailed, and as result, many of the
boys we're more interested in finish
ing the race than setting speed
records. They nursed their cars
along in the early part of the race.
Later, when they learned they we're
safe in stepping out, they kicked up
the speed and the winning average
kept mounting until the record was
passed.
None Of the drivers who finished
in the money used all of their gaso-
line allowance. Cummings required
only 301a gallons last year, the least
Ct any of the finiShers. Only one
o. the first IL used over 40 gallons.
When A. A. A. officials again
slashed the limit to 421a gallons this
year, there was little complaint from
the drivers. This apparently indi-
Gates that a majority of them
aren't worried by the limit and are
confident they can finish the 500
miles under the allowance and at
a higher speed.
First $50 Miles Important
Much depends on the first $50
miles of the race" said Charles
Merz, prominent engineer, former
race driver and new chief steward
of the 500-miler, when asked about
the probability of new records. IF
many of the faster cars are forced
out, the race will slow down auto
matically. However, if conditions
are right, I see no reason why we
should not have some new records"
1t is doubtful if the early-race
llldl Lie mai n
Of 114.118 and, the 100-mile speed of
112.247, set by Bill Cummings in
1888, appears safe. Babe Stapp's 200
mile record of 109.635, also set in
1888, appears slightly out of reach,
as does his 300-mile mark of
109 1872.
But from this point on, the rec
ordS are standing on webbing legs.
The 350-mile record is held by Louis
Meyer, set in 1888, and is 107.339
Meyer also holds the 400-mile record
of 104683 miles an hour.
Last years record breaking start
ed at this point, with Mauri Rose
crossing the tape with an average
of 104.828.
Cummings then shot into the lead
and tackled up a record 105.021 for
the 450-mile mark, and a new high
of 100000 at ATS miles. His final
mark of 104.865 shaded Meyers win
ming time of 104162 set in 1888.
None of last years crop of records
is likely to survive, if, as Mr. Merz
so correctly puts it, conditions are
right.
