The contemplation of beauty can
be used to re-create. From our
jumbled store-house we recall that
a poet, a Persian, we believe adj
vised eff thou hast two loaves of
bread, sell one and buy white
hyacinths for thy soul" OF course
what is beauty for one person may
not be for another 1t is quite pos
sible that a second loaf of bread
might appear more beautiful to
some people than a field of prim-
roses. The important thing is to
seek whatever brings peace or
ecstacy to the eyes of the beholder
or the ears of the listener.

Of personal taste as the book one

but continue to use our leisure

With the all-star football games
getting under way early in Septem-
Der, the fans are beginning to
think in terms of the pigskin and
make representations as to who
will win and so it goes. The talk
usually runs to the Negro stars
and what they will do this fall.
Oze Simmons and his brother
will be back at Iowa, Reed at
Minnesota, Jordan at Northwestern,
Gillie at Western Reserve, Duvall
at Loyola in California, Weaver at
Williamett up in Oregon, and
Bright, Illinois Normal. The boys
are raring to go and you can bet
that some of them are going to
flash prominently across the foot
ball scene.
Oze Simmons looks like he will
arrive this fall and make that ALL
American team that he has been
threatening to do for the past two
years. He runs, he passes and if he
can pick up the art Of punting,
can't see how they can keep him
off the team. He runs like a ghos
in an open field and can really
carry the mail when the pressure
is on. This looks like Simmons
year.
Reed is due for another good
year with Bierman up in the north
country. This lad held his own last

asked:
"Do you still maintain you didn't
kill Miss Clevenger?"
81 didn't do it."
"Then who did,"
well, it wasn't me. That's all l

Moore then asked reporters to
come around Oct. I, the day before
his execution, as he had some
thing important to tell them about
the case. He also said he wasn't
afraid to die, but wasn't going to-.
"They licked that confession out
of me-" he said. "They beat me
with hose and punched me in the

season witnessed the game.
The Grays jumped on DeLaugh-

first inning, pounding out four

Titus men, and pitched six and two

we'll, until his team mates began
booting balls and made seven con-

for most of the ten runs charged
to Britten.

A WOMAN'S
OPINION
BY Charlotte A. Gillard
international Negro PreSs)

Never before has our group
seemed so conscious of physical
exercise. Every block has its
nightly street boxing sessions, the
participants ranging in age from
five years upwards. Ropes stretch
ed across the sidewalks at differ
ents heights make an adventure of
what hitherto has been an ordi-
nary constitutional walk as flu
ture Cornelius Johnsons and David
Albrittons practice higher and
higher jumps, coming down on the
hard flagstones seemingly needless
of the jolts that would reduce older
bones to fragments.
Vacation time is almost over, but
that does not mean the end OF re-
creation time. Healthful living in
cludes recreation. Since the days
of Hippocrates the regimens of
healthful living drawn up by
hygienists have stressed fresh air,
food, rest, cleanliness, the oorrec-
tion of physical defects and exer-
else. Whether we are at work or
at school we have leisure and what
we do in our leisure time has an
intimate part to play in determin-
ing that perfect balance of mind
and body which we call health. 1t
does not matter whether VIC have
an hour of leisure time or Il week
end; what does matter is that the
time be used to truly re-creatc.
Listening to or making music is
a form of recreation. If person
has ever had the experience of for
getting bodily fatigue while lis
tening to music, isn't it worth while
to spend some time in working out
a way to have the experience re-
peated often? The radio makes this
form of recreation very accessible,
but we fail to take the greatest
advantage of it. Too often we chat
ter through the finest programs,
almost shrieking in order to be
heard above the music instead of
permitting the soothing strain to
permeate our souls and replcnish
the wells Of life.
Reading for pleasure is another
form of recreation, but tastes in
reading material vary Not only do
individual tastes vary, but indivi-
dual appetites for one or another
form of reading are subject to
seasonable changes. On a spring
afternoon one may prefer poetry,
while cold winter night may
make n detective story the first
choice. The principal thing, how
ever, If any individual loves TO
read and knows that reading can
always give that bodily relaxation
and mental stimulus sought, is to
secure reading matter which fits
that persons taste.
