Delnquent Tax List Of The Personal Property

of the Grand Hotel (where nothing ever happens),
 This machine consists of a der rick in glass case, suspended ov- CT a pile of green candy on top of which few prizes have been cached. These include cigarette light CTS silk stockings, colored pencils, handy pack of twelve Count them -twelveD photographs of American picture stars, and a pair of binocu- lars. The Maharajah wants those binoculars.
 The candy the Maharajah gets, and he averages about 3 pounds a day, places in bowl in his sitt- ing room. As candy goes, it is only so-so. But is decorative.
 The talk around Nice is that Nancy would much prefer her hus- band lose his money at the gaming tables than stand around in the lobby of the Grand Hotel all day long feeding his francs to toy der rick and filling his pockets with green candies.

when YOU TAKE
A LAXATIVE
-. use a spoon

1t isn't what brand Of laxative you
take that's so important the
form. A liquid laxative can be taken
in any required amount. If only a
little is needed, you need never take
a bit too much.
Doctors favor the easily measured
liquid laxatives. Instead of any form
that does not encourage variation
from the fixed dose. A fixed dose may
be an overdose for you-or your
child.
Always remember this one thing
about constipation: the secret of any
real relief is reduced dosage.
Give the bowels only as much help
as may be needed, and less help as
the need grows less. You will find Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin an excellent
aid in regulating the bowels. 1t con-
tains SIENNA and cascara (natural
laxatives) and it will cleanup any
bilious, sluggish condition without
upset. Delightful taste, and pleasant
action. Your druggist has it.

The League Spineless and Useless
The League Of Nations has ex-
listed since the world war, and each
succeeding year it demonstrates its
worthlessness. 1t cannot even stop
a fist fight, to say nothing of war.
Japan withdrew, Germany with
drew, Paraguay withdrew, and
others are going to withdraw be-
cause there is nothing in the League
for which to remain.
Mussolini Expert Liar
1t is authenticity reported that
$4,000 soldiers have left Italy for
Ethiopia. But there is good reason
to believe that hree times that
many are enroute to the Negro en-
pire.
Mussolini states that the mobili-
zation and movement of these
troops to Ethiopia is "precaution-
airy measure" and that he does not
intend to make war. If he does, it
will not be before next fall, when
he feels his soldiers will have be-
come sufficiently acclimated to the
African climate
Unite The Dark Races
Let the dark races unite, should
now be the slogan. Let's make COM
mon cause with Japan, China, India
West Indies, East Indies, American
Negroes and all other dark races.
ltaly's charge on Africa is the con-
Germ of the whole world.
American Negroes are asked to
volunteer. It is expected a large
number Of our group in this country
will be more interested H volun-
teering and fighting for a Negro
country than to go over seas and
fight for any other.

GIGANTIC SALE
NOW ON AT ALL
A. &P. STORES

One of the biggest sales Of the
many that are held ever year by
the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea
Stores is now going on and will end
Saturday, March End. This sale is
held in celebration of the founders
of the chain of A. & P. Food Stores
and to show its appreciation, DUR

host Of high quality merchandise
at exceptionally low prices during
the entire week. A special announce

week is to be found on page three
The first A. & P. Store was es-
tablished in 1859. Since that time
more than $4,000 additional stores
have been added to the organiza
ton The tremendous buying pow
er of concern of this kind enables
it in nearly every instance TO
undersell, and at the same time
give the highest quality merchan-
disc. It is for these reasons that A.

wonderful acceptance by the gen
eral public and the thrifty house

INTERVIEWED ON OUTLOOK
Continued From Page One

Will, and the cooperation of every
Congressman on the Democratic
side OF the house-he stated that
he expected to experience no diff
tlculty in having passed the meas
ures which he has introduced in the
House. He spoke of the fine CO.
operation he has received from the
other Congressman from the South,
and reminded his hearers that he
went to Washington for the ex-
pressed purpose Of making friends,
not only for himself, but for his
Race,-realizing that only in this
way could any appreciate work be
done, or any appreciate legislation
passed in the interest of his consti-
tuents, and in the interest of his
people
He said that all the opposition
that had been offered against him,
which he regards as being insipid
and foolish, came from a bunch of
disgruntfed calamity bowling Re-
publicans.
No Petitions ecessary
Mr.. Mitchell further said that his
standing in the House, was of such
that he did not need, at this time,
any special petitions from any Of
his constituents interesting in circu-
lating petitions, to get his 1egsla-
ton reported by the Committees.
He said this might be necessary
when this legislation reaches the
Senate.
He also called the attention Of
the organization to the fact that
during the brief time he has been
in Congress, he has been able to
make two good appointments of
colored men to places III Washing
ton, one he said was working
in the office Of Secretary Ickes,
and the other one in the Capitol it
self. These men come from the
Second Ward.
Conduct Above Reproach
He read several newspaper clip
pings from southern and northern
newspapers that his work and con-
duct in office is above reproach and
commendable He stated that only a
few representative Negroes had ex-
pressed disapproval of the manner
in which he has worked in tire

diary Of a WOuId-be COIumnist

OdCuEudy, Jan. 1S-Op DSCImSS
and out to the campus. Late for
class as usual, and nightly did the
professor chide me for my tardi-
ness. At ten-thirty home to sweep
ing and busting and much tele-
phoning. In the evening to the
A. X. A. soror cocktail party for
songstress Eta Moten at the home
of the Wilbur Williams. And a
right merry gathering it was with
much smart chit-chat, and tuxedos
and trailing gowns. Home in the
early morning hours and to bed.
With the thermometer hitting
80, campus classes are depleted
because panty-waist college folks
don't dare venture out from home
in this kind of weather. There are
some queer sights walking around
out there. Gels in ski suits which
don't fit, gels in ski suits which do
fit, gels in high boots, gels in
Indian moccasins and heavy socks,
gels with heavy socks pulled down
over their galoshes; sheiks with
trouser legs stuffed down in but
toned overshoes, sheiks with over
shoes unbuttoned, sheiks in stock
ing caps, sheiks with ear muffs on
and no hats, sheiks with ear muffs
and hats, sheiks without hats (even
in this weather). Some members
of both sexes with scarfs tied
around their heads and under their
chins, immigrant fashion. Every
body has only one idea-to keep
warm.
This and That: LEONA HUGH
LEY over at Phyllis Wheatley is a
swell-looker. PATRICIA NIT
CHELL is wearing an engagement
sparkler. BRAINARD BIRCH,
who is pretty V. RAGLIN'S hubby,
and good-looking lad, too, always
appears so deep in thought.
A. WALKER came flying out into
the lobby of the library t. other
day, and there were so many cullud
students standing around in groups
that Arnie gasped in amazement
and said: aye gods! / thought
for awhile / was down at FISK"
:. Yes, and it looked like Fisk and
Tuskogee all in one few days ago
in the p. o. when almost the entire
sepia population of the campus
claimed together for a between
class chat. JACK HARPOLE
knows all the campus big-shots by
their first names b'gosh. WILL
LIS WARD is due back in town
next month for the intercollegiate
track meteor somethin'. Michi-
gan is stalking everything on him
for the affair. Three we'll
known married couples are expect
ing additions to the family in the
not-so-distant future. ETA
MOTEN looks so much younger
and prettier in person than she
does in the films. And she's a
grand person, too. A graduate of
Kansas University and an A. X. A.
soror. What st. Paul Mr.. and
Missus who parted, are dueting
once more? Bets are three to
one that DICK MANN will return
to the home town sooner or later.
But if this weather keeps up, I'd
suggest that he stay in California.
