News Headlines

A New York Paper reports that
the Governor of New Jersey has new
evidence with which to balk the ex-
ecution of Bruno Hauptman or at
least delay the execution. They say
the disclosure of this information
may furnish the basis for "the most
shocking story ever brought before
the American people. It would be a
good idea and certainly humane
move if the Governor of Alabama
would do a little investigation of his
own. If he did the Scottsboro boys
would go free!

OUR SNooTY NAVY

The N. A. A. C. P. has just been
told by the navy department that the
fleet has no place for Negroes ex-
cept as messmen and personal serv-
ants. In a certain sense this ruling
is a blessing to Negroes.
The next war will probably be a
naval one and the navy's stand will
prevent Negroes from getting killed
to make Alabama safe for democra-
CIV and Texas safe for lynchings.
Anyhow, the navy has been snoo-
ty for years. There hasn't been ca
Diet at Annapolis, since the 1905
and few full fledged seamen since
the Civil War.
Much has been said concerning the
withdrawing of American athletes
from the Olympics to be held in
Germany. Some athletic organiza-
tons have voted that the U. S. not
participate because Of he Nazi cru
SADIE against the Jews and non-Ger-
mans. We think that Americans
should participate and that Negroes
should by all means go to Berlin If
America participates. Negroes have
everything to gain by going and
stand chance to lose If they stay
at home.
This month our secret fraternitieS
and other organizations conduct their
annual elections. The officers elected
should offer constructive programs
for their organizations. Programs
that will not only mean added
strength to their own organization
but to the community as whole
We would like to see some organiza
ton launch q cooperative movement
Give scholarships to deserving boys
and girls, in short make their orgar {
cations serve the community. This
can be done if elected heads will let
their unselfishness overcome their
selfishness.

Pig Sticking, British
Sport, Still in Fashion

Two very ancient and honorable
sports, by no means extinct in this
country, still attract visitors to the
channel islands off the coast Of
southern California. "Pig stick
ing" that typical British pastime
with it's accompanying dangers and
thrills, is an attraction to many
American sportsmen. On Santa
Cruz and Santa Rosa islands, ~
ing about thirty miles west Of
Santa Barbara, there are still num-
bers Of wild boars to be found, de-
scendants of pigs originally brought
to the isles by early Mexican and
Basque settlers. These animals
have an unusually ferocious nature
and will charge a human being on
sight. Consequently it is dangerous
for a man to travel about either
of these islands without a good
rifle, especially If he is unmounted.
Santa Barbara island, so miles
west Of San Pedro, is a precipi-
tous, rocky place, Inhabited, OBJ
serves writer in the Washington
Post, by herds Of wild goats, which
lure sportsmen who are fond Of
chasing their quarry in craggy sur
roundings. While not as dangerous
as hunting the wild boars, goat
hunting requires steady nerves.

EDITOR HAS BIRTHDAY

A package from his mother, Mrs.
Cora Newman of Kansas City, was
the first reminder to G. E. Newman,
local newspaperman, that he had
arrived at his 32nd birthday. Staff
members, led by Oscar Newman,
office boy, conspired to give New
man an old-fashioned spanking but
the editor growled his way out of
the birthday spanking. Newman
told Oscar, who is his son, that if
the staff members spanked him
when it was all over he would ex-
ercise his parental authority and
spank him. So there was no birth
day spanking.
Chief conspirator Oscar was re-
ported as murmuring about "the
unfairness of certain fathers"

Efficiency of Fins Aid
Fish to Be So Graceful

The most conspicuous external
organs of fishes are the fins. The
fms are composed Of non-scaly men,
branes supported by bony rods
through the movement Of which To-
comotion is accomplished. The high
speed which most fishes are able to
attain tells of the efficiency Of the
fins, the most powerful of which
is the caudal fin. The pectoral fins
are located one on either side of
the body and correspond to the
hind legs of an animal, says a
writer in the Washington Star.
The uppermOst fin is called the dor
sal fin, and ofttimes is divided into
two or even three parts, appearing
to be distinct and not uncommonly
termed "adipose fms" The remain
ing vertical member is known as
the anal fin and, like the dorsal,
may be composed Of spines, rays
and f1nlets. Great variations occur
In shape, size, division, position and
other features Of the fins of differ
ent species, thereby offering char
acters which serve in a big meas
ure for classification.
Organs common to higher animals
are found in fishes. The ear, an
internal chamber, lies near the
brain, but II has, no opening to
the exterior. 1t is the otoliths,
or ear stones, which function, ap-
parently, in determining the equi-
lbrium so necessary to fish life. It
is lightly probable that the ear
shares with the lateral line the re-
cording and Interpretation of sound
and water disturbances.
Nostrils are present, but the part
they play in the fish makeup is not
clearly understood. Though exter-'
nal openings are present, the nasal
pits do not extend back to the
throat, and no apparent assistance
is rendered to respiration.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. IS.
(UP).-A breach between Amerl-
can bankers and the New Deal
was evident last night, as the
bankers adjourned their 61st an
nual meeting in an air of defiance
of government spokesmen.
Mariner S. Eccles, chairman OF
the board of governors of the FED
eral Reserve System, delivered the
parting shot for the New Deal.
eff you want the government TO
get out of the banking business,
then you must get into it; lend
money on mortgage paper to the
people, instead of lending it to
financial institutions, at a low per
cent, thus enabling these lnstltu-
tions to lend it to their clients at
a much higher per cent.

NEW YORK, Nov IS. (UP).-
The public eventually must decide
whether the Constitution should
be amended to permit passage OF

told the Academy of Political Sci

when it passes upon the constitu-

Labor has steadfastly believed
that the trainers of the Constitu-

congress should have the power to

DARING WOMAN
FLIER IS SAFE
Miss Jean Batten Reaches
Rio De Janeiro, II
Hours Overdue

RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 15.-
CUP). - Miss Jean Batten, 22-
year-oid transatlantic flyer from
New Zealand, arrived safely at
Campos Dos Affonsos airdrome
today after being missing II hours
on her flight from Natal.
Grave fears had been felt for
the safety of Miss Batten, first
woman to make solo hop over
the South Atlantic, when she be-
came two hours overdue on her
air journey from Nata Ito Rio De
Janeiro.
Airport lights and beacons which
had been kept lighted in the hope
she might arrive last night were
extinguished at 1890 p. m. Hope
was not abandoned, however. Col.
Newton Braga, famous Brazilian
pilot, flew as far as Cabo Frio but
returned without sighting Miss
Batten. and had planned to renew
his search at dawn, accompanied
by two other planes.
