Forty Acres and Mule
No Ideal Dream, Bond

NASHVILLE CAMP The SOU
thern mans post-Civil War dream
Of forty acres and mule" has
come to life seventy years later
in the form Of the Bankhead Bill,
now before Congress, says Horace
Mann Bond. in an article publish
ed this week in Opportunity.
Mr.. Bond, member of the Fisk
University faculty, points out that
shortly after the Civil War, know
ing politicians laughed at the ma
i've belief of exslaves that the gov
eminent actually intended to set
each freed man up for himself
with forty acres of farm land and
mule. If this policy had been a.
dopted, he said, the present ten
ant-farmer problem would not be
now facing US.

HOODLUNS BREAK

MISUNDERSTANDING before the
shattered window. through which
a stone had been thrown, appar-
emily as protest against his Brook
line residence. Roland Hayes, Ne
gro singer, who has sung before
King George, discussed the Negro
problem and his hopes for his race.
The jagged pane was sharp evil
dence that the problem he discuss
ed was not an academic one. AL
though swift to absclve his neigh
bors, whom he described most
pleasantly. he was inclined to a.
gree with police that the rock
which came hurting through the
pane last Friday night was the
weapon Of a gang Of hoodlurns
who live near, rather than in, one
of the most aristocratic Of Boston
suburbs.
Refuses to Move
He glanced at the splintered
pane, and said, 1T is well that /
live here. While it is Of slight i'm
portance to me where / live, it
might perhaps have some slight
Importance to the race Of which
am a member and to white peo-
pie too. # prove through my own

grces can be the same sort Of a

some slight contribution to the
solution Of an important national
problem. .
Hayes on Thursday night drew
one of the largest audiences in his
tory to Carnegie Hall in New York
and who has been described as
"one of the greatest singers of his
generation"

Caring for Pets
BY HORACE MITCHELL.
Rabbit Orphans.

ION MULFoRD has sent us a let
ter that is different from any
thing else ever heard about.
Don bought two young white rab-
bits and raised them to average size
when 4 months DID," as he puts it.
He kept them in a movable pen.
so they could have plenty of green
grass. They escaped occasionally.
but they were tame, and he could
catch them easily. Then came potato
digging time and something hap
pened!
my father" says Don, dug up
a hill of potatoes and there was the
nest of a wild rabbit right beside It,
The little ones all ran of, except
two, which he caught and brought
to the house, thinking could maybe
raise them.
1T saw they were too small to
raise themselves, because their little
mouths were not large enough for me
to put feed into them. didn't know
what to do with them, so I just put
an old sack in the bottom OF an egg
case. put the rabbits in 1t and placed
the egg case in our wood house.
Next morning when I went to
get them they were gone. I knew
they could not have gotten out by
themselves, so I thought cat or
dog had probably got them. How
ever, my old rabbits had dug under
their pen and got out the same night
but I caught them and put them
back and filled their tunnel up with
rocks. Then I noticed they dug 6
deep hole in one corner. It was sc
deep I couldn't reach the bottom oi
it. They seemed to enjoy going dowr
in 1t, so I didn't flll II up.
About a week later I saw some
thing run down the hole that looked
| like a mouse. A few days later
saw it again and discovered it wa.
one of the little wild rabbits. From
| that time on I saw them quite otter
when I would come out of the house
but they always dived into the hole
as I came near.
1--WE figured that our tame rabbits
must have taken the wild ones from
the box and raised them. But the
peculiar part of it all is that neither
| of the tame rabbits had ever hac
any young. Later the wild rabbits
escaped"

Connection Secuted
WALLACE, II, his an.

CECRETARY WALLACE, In his an
nual report on the Agricultural
Department, is undisturbed by pros
poets of increased cotton production
in other lands, feeling confident that
they will be unable to offer any serious
competition to the American grower.
He points out the natural advan-
tages to cotton raisers in the growing
conditions in the South. No other
country, he declares, is so able to ex-
pand production as the United States
and that any improvement in foreign
markets, therefore, would bring about
stimulated production in this country
rather than abroad.
Indian, Russian, Chinese, African
and South American areas have been
devoted to cotton production and
there are prospects of greater yield
this year, but Mr.. Wallace argues that
it would be unwise to force down
domestic prices through increased
production in order to get down to
level where American cotton can COM
pete with the cotton of these lands
in the foreign market. Maintained
higher prices in this country, he con-
tends, are far more important to the
growers of the United States.

A Dart Blowgun

RY FORCING the pith from two
or three sections of a straight
stalk of an elderberry bush, you can
make a blowgun similar to the
weapons used by some of the South
American Indians. A long, heavy wire
can be used to clear the pith from the
elderberry stalk, Then by flattening
the end of the wire into a sort of
dull chisel, the inside of the tube can
be cleaned out perfectly smooth. Dec
crate the outside Of the tube with
some sort of odd design by skinning
the bark off in small sections with
your pocket knife.
For darts use white pine stick
about S inches long and just a trifle
thicker than a match stick At the
end place a small wad of cotton in
small slit, then wrap the ends of the
