hole had no vision that any Of them
would arrive at anything more than
Statewide reputation or prom
inence. One Summer day the boys
thought they would make Jack" the
object of their playfulnesS and while
he was swimming they hid all his
clothes except his pants and suit
of underwear Perforce he had to
cloth himself in the underwear. The
pants they turned inside out and at
tached the legs to two poles.
In those days it was no disgrace to
wear fathers cut-down clothing and
the lining was usually made from flour
sacking. In the course of events the
youngster had to march home in his
long-legged underwear with an escort
Of playmates led by two standard

BELIEF.
THE almost human capacity of mod
ern machinery really is super
human in the case of Edwina HAM
bleton.
Edwina, who is young and imagina-
tive, detached herself from the group:
she was with the other afternoon to
make call over a public pay sta
ton. She did not have a nickel, but
she did have quarter and that struck
her as being quite as useful to her
situation.
The other youngsters waiting for
her concluded eventually that she had
been gone long enough to make dol
lars worth of telephone calls and went
to investigate.
They found her sitting In the phone
booth, an expectant look on her face.
What are you waiting for?" one
Of them asked.
For my change" she explained.
"I put in whole quarter"
It took some arguing but they even
tually convinced her that she could
get the money back only by buying
telephone company stock and collect
ing the dividends.

CONFUSION.
A TAXI driver named Kennedy, who
probably doesn't like street cars
anyhow, has painful reason to believe
that even the cars are confused by
all this rerouting business.
He was riding along beside one, a
Takoma Park car, going up Fourteenth
street the other day. The front trucks
of the car crossed the switch at the
intersection. but not so the rear. In
stead Of going north as the ordinary
course of events dictated, it swung out
toward the east and the taxi. If it
failed to reach the former, it succeeded
in getting to the latter with a pretty
heavy jolt.

as compared with the Queen Mary's

The Import Picture.
The import picture is somewhat diff

per cent, was revealed from January
through April this year, and of this
figure $40,000,000 was accounted for
by Canada and Cuba, the balance be-
ing spread over all other countries.
The percentage gain for Canada and
Cuba, taken together, was SO, and for
the other eight agreement countries,

II. Thus, the agreements would ap-
pear to have done more to bring goods
into the United States than to send
them out, but not all or even a very
large share Of these additional imports
have been competitive with domestic

NEGRO IN SCIENCE

At the recent Conference of
Negro Youth many important facts
were brought out concerning activ-
tiles of Negroes in the various
fields of modern life. It was
clearly shown that this highly
mechanical and intricate modern
life depends for it's success on con-
tributions, small or large, by every
individual. What is not generally
known is that there are and have
been many outstanding Negroes
who have and are playing a domi-
nant factor in all of the various
fields.
During the round table discus
sion on Science, William Foster
graduate student in Medicine,
U. of N.Y., Paul Boswell (medical
suddenly, Robert A. Thornton
graduate work in Physics, one of
American Men of Science, Prof. of
Physics at Talladega College,, and
B. E. Squires (Urban League of
Omaha)-these men told of re-
markable work done by Negroes
in specific scientific fields.
From 1892 until the present day
Negroes have played an important
part in Americas advance. 1t is
true that they have been handi-
capped by lack of financial assist
ance and in securing entrance into
laboratories and institutions of re-
search but many have risen above
these barriers and have made out
standing contributions in spite of
handicaps. Carver of Tuskegee
has been one of these. Although
born a slave, he is now one of the
outstanding chemists of America
and the world. Just of Howard
has worked in the field of biology.
His work on the synthesis of life
is unparalleled. Daniel Williams
of Chicago was eminent in the
field of Surgery. He was probably
the first man to do any surgery
connected with the heart and its
covering (the pericardium). -.
These are a few EXAMPLES of
scientific contributions. During the
next year, we will discuss some of
the outstanding men, giving their
background, their problems, and
their success in spite of these. If
any of our readers wish to assist
in this work, please send data to
this paper.
