Health and

SINUSITIS
By DR.. w. D. Brown

There are cavities in the bones
of the skull which communicate
with the nose through small canals.
The lining Of these spaces is mu-
cous membrane, just the same as
is found in the nose proper. There
fore, any Inflammation in the nose,
such as a common cold, may spread
through the canals or small open
ings into one or more of the 81
muses..
Such a condition is spoken Of
as an acute sinusitis. The severity
of the condition depends upon
which of these spaces is involved,
how many, and whether or not the
space or spaces are shut off from
the nasal cavity by occlusion of the
small canals or openings.
The symptoms are those Of an
acute cold, plus pressure symp-
toms due to the accumulation Of
pus which cannot drain thoroughly
into the nasal cavities. This pus
under pressure causes severe head
ache. Unless you have suffered
with this disorder, you cannot pos
sibly imagine how excrutiating
this headache can become. The suf-
ferer uses every pain-Hller within
access in order to obtain relief.
The prevention of sinusitis de-
ponds upon measures used to pre-
vent recurring head colds. This
means that the general body
health should be kept normal. Suf-
ficiently warm clothes should be
worn to prevent body chilling in
cold weather. Diseased teeth or
gums should receive attention. Dis
eased tonsils should be removed.
Defects within the nose, such as
a crooked septum, especially,
should be eradicated.
The treatment of the condition,
once it has developed, is rather in
volved and technical.

Contributions to America" Ac-
cording to him, the creations and
cultural contributions which have
been most peculiarly American
American Negro. This, he said,
was no disparagement of the con-
tributions of other groups, such as
those of the Indian, the mountain
eer, and the cowboy, whose folk
art has been distinguished by con-
tributions of handicraft, folk lore,
songs, and dances.
'The distinction" he pointed out,
Giles in the fact that the arts of
the Indian, the mountaineer, and
the cowboy have not been taken
into the nations art, and that the
American white man has worked
on European models"
Negro Helped Shape America
DR.. johnson said that many peo-
pie think of the Negro as the beg
gar under the nations table, wait
ing for the crumbs of civilization.
"That may be true, too," he as
serted, "of all of the other groups
that make up the nation. The
Negro, too, has helped to shape
and mold the nation"
The Negroes part in American
civilization, according to the Fisk
university man of letters, has been
twofold: passive and active. Pas
sive influences, he designated as
those which have given the United
States the unique opportunity and
temptation, shared to a lesser ex-
tent by Germany, to abuse a mi
nority group.
Active influences have included
contributions in the fields of mu-
sic, folk lore, dancing, humor,
speech, literature, drama, the con-
cert stage, scholarship, and science.
"The Negro of today is fortu-
nate and ought to be proud of the
fact that he has a well-integrated
folk lore foundation upon which to
raise conscious art" DR.. John
son said in closing his address.
"The Negro of today may go back
to his folk art for inspiration. Both
black and white conscious artists
may send their roots into the Ne
gro sub-soil and get something out
which will be truly art. To
achieve true art, however, they
must rear a thing which transcends

ground to Test Right to
Acquire Property.
By the Associated Press.

NEWARK, N. j., December 21.-If
present plans are carried out. suit
to restrain the Government from pro-
ceeding with its $6,000,000 Resettle-
ment project in Franklin Township
will be filed in Washington, with Re-
settlement Administrator Rexford G.
Tugwell as defendant.
Such a step was planned yesterday
by Merritt Lane, counsel for the
Franklin Township Board of Educa-
tion and property owners, after Fed
eral Judge William Clark had denied
an application for preliminary in
junction.
Judge Clark said the wrong persons
were named as defendants in the
action before him. The suit had
named Theodore PelliS, manager of
the project, and two men who were
designated to acquire options.
Lane at first said he would go be-
fore the Circuit Court of Appeals and
ask for reversal of the decision. Judge
Clark suggested" that the Govern
ment accept the suit in Washington.
"It is a vital constitutional question
and some day it must be heard" he
said.
The Board of Education and prop
erty owners contended the project
would make nearly so per cent of the
township untaxable and attacked the
constitutionality of the legislation
making it possible.
"If the United States acquires prop
erty in a State, that property be-
comes tax free" Lane said. The Gov
ernment can go and acquire all Of
State and thereby stop that State
government from functioning. I am
not attacking the spending power Of
Congress, but am attacking the ac-
quiring power of Congress"
