Hitltrs Regime Makes
Futile Attemp TOReach
Across The Sea

Because of official opposition by the
Hitler regime in Nazi Germany to
Schmelling meeting Negro, an
nouncement of the date was delayed
until Schmelling had actually arrived
in this country from Germany. The
German boxer strobe down the gang
plank of the German Lloyd Liner
Bremen last Wednesday afternoon, ap-
parently blissfully unconscious of what
Louis has in store for him.
Soon after the decision of Promotes
Mike Jacobs to stage the battle in this
city, it was announced that a telegram
had been received from San Diego,
Cal, officials asking for Louis appear
ance in that city after the Schmelling
bout against suitable opponent"
Decision was reserved.
With the details finally ironed out,

Culture of Orchid Long,
Tedious Gardening Task

The culture of orchids takes
place one step at a time and with
only one step year, says the Mil
waukee Journal. The minute seeds
are placed in tubes with agar-agar,
a Ceylonese seaweed, and are
sealed. A year later the sprouted
seeds are picked out with tweezers
and placed in jar Another
year and the tiny separate plants are
isolated in separate Jars In which
are mingled soil, charcoal, pieces Of
broken pot and osmunda, fern
which comes from the Indian
marshes.
During this slow growth the or
child plants must be protected from
cold draughts at all costs. They
cannot tolerate the temperature Of
60, which Is suited to blooming or
chids at night but must be furnished,
a home where the air Is like q per-
petual wash day with the boiler go
ing at full Nast. The orchid de-!
. mands not so much heat but plenty,
of humidity.
When an orchid does come to flow
er the grower need have no further,
worry. Provided he treats It right,
he can be certain that 1t will 60. on,
producing the exact order of fiow-''
ers OF Its primary bloom to the end
of its life. Itruns true to type.

that the shop Is @fancy" and that

80 cents to produce q single orchid

the heavyweight contenders will soon
start training. Louis already has COM
pleted arrangements to work out at
Lakewood, N. J.
Already plans for accommodating
100000 spectators are under way. The
fight is expected to gross in the
neighborhood of $l,5OO,OO0. Tickets
are priced SO high that the opinion
in Harlem is that few Negroes will be
able to attend.
Louis is strong favorite in betting
circles. He is expected to eliminate the
Nazi "Aryan' hope. His next potential
victim will be Jim Braddock, present
heavyweight champion, it is generally
believed.

Chairman Smith pointed out that contributions from the average citizen" will be solicited to help further the democratic campaign tlhs fall.
 Arranging Finances
 He said, we stated some time ago upon the formation of 6 finance committee for the democratic party that the organization is proceeding vigorously in an attempt to ar- range for the finances of the coming presidential and state campaign. Because of the fact that the den- ocratic party cannot hope for and does not look for large contributions from persons of considerable wealth who, unfortunately, fail to realize that liberal forms of Legislation may, in the long run, be theif best protection, we must expect to cb- tain our support from tho average citizen who Is willing to assist, but who ia many cases finds 1t iE1posgt- bie to make large contributions.
 Naturally the difficulty of ob. thlnltlB Q lhTBe uuInper OL DLlhh contributions is considerably greater than the mere solicitation of funds from Q few interested sources. It Is for that reason that the demo- cratic party has so frequently in the past been handicapped by the overwhelming preponderance ot funds available for campaign ex- penditures in the hands of the re- publican party.
 Overcome Handicap
 For instance, in 1882 despite the depression and despite the unpop- ularity of the then President Hoover, the republican party had for it's campaign fund an amount in excess of three times that available to the democratic party in this state. |.
 "It is our sincere hope that our early efforts this year will in part overcome this handicap and we sin. cerely trust that those Of our friends who are at the moment unable to make 6 contribution will indicate the amount that they hope to Do able to contribute some time before the election"

DISEASE PREVENTION AND
CONTROL AIDED BY WPA

Jackson, Miss.--A helping hand
in the prevention and control OF
communicable and other diseases
in Mississippi has been and cor,
tinues to be extended by the
Works Progress Administration
in its work program for the state
it is revealed by a glance at the
list of projects in operation.
This helping hand is extended
through a large munger of pro-
jects undertaken by the WPA.
Many workers are engaged in
compiling vital statistics for the
health department !; others go into
the homes Of the underpriviledged
in the effort to instruct for great
err cleanliness and healthier sur
roundings; still others construct
stadiums, swim pools for building
bodies, but all lend a hand in
fighting disease in Mississippi.
Statistics for the health depart
ment are being gathered on the
trend of health in the state in or
der that the family physician may
