MARCH OF TIME
Is CHALLENGED
ON NEGRO VOTERS

NEW YORK, Sept. IL A letter
Of protest charging "The March of
Time. radio news feature, as being
Ignorant or vicious" in its broad
cast of the campaign OF the major
political parties for the Negro vote,
has been sent the editors of TIME
magazine by Charles H. Houston,
special counsel of the N. A. A, c. P.
The broadcast on September 2,
after detailing the efforts being
made by political parties to secwe
the Negro vote In the North de-
clagsd that Il . President gave
equality to Negro citizens, he would
have to appoint Negroes TO his cab
met and that daughters of high
United States officials would have
to dance with Negro elected and
appointed office holders. The Hous-
ton letter declares:
II challenge your good faith in
dragging the question of social
equality into your comment. Oh
viously you were trying to con-
jure up the bugbear of miscegena-
ton. Intelligent white men do not
fear miscegenation. otherwise they
would do more to prevent their
white brethren from practising it.
Have you ever noticed that Negros
never talk about miscegenation,
that white women seldom do, but
that white men cannot discuss the
race question ten minutes without
dragging the DOGGY of the miscege-
nation into the argument? Yet
ninety-nine percent of the miscege-
nation has been foced upon
Negroes by white men,"

MUCH ILLNESS CAUSED BY
GIVE AND TAKE METHODS
Germ Exchanged Established Thru
Carelessness In Habits

Don't establish a germ exchange
through carelessness in your personal
habits, is the advice of DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health to girls and boys in Maryland
as they start in on another year at
school. Incidentally the advice is equal
ly applicable to grown-ups.
much Of the sickness caused by the
Catching diseases, DR.. Riley contin-
ued, sis a matter of give and take.
Coughs, colds, sore throat, diseases of
the lungs and other diseases that are
spread through discharges from the
nose and throat, belong in the give and
take class. Diptheria, scarlet fever,
whooping cough, measles, chicken-pox,
and the rest of the so-called children's
diseases can usually be traced back
to such experiences. Trench mouth, of
which we hear very frequently, is con-
tracted in the same way and so are GER
tain skin diseases.
"The hand-washing habit is one of
the best means of defense against d.
seases contracted in the give or take
method. It serves a double purpose-it
protects you against disease producing
germs picked up on the hands in var
ious ways, and it safeguards those with
whom you come in contact, especially
those with whom you shake hands, for
whom you prepare food, with whom
you share your lunches or other be-
longings. Form the habit and remem-
Der to wash your hands thoroughly and
often; always after you have been to
the toilet, and always before eating or
before preparing food for others.
eff you develop a cold, don't broad
cast your germs. Don't cough or sneeze
in your neighbours face. Have your own
handkerchief; your own towel and your
own drinking cup. You can be gener-
Gus and friendly without exchanging
germs. Share your apples with your
chums but don't bite into the fruit
first. Lend your pencil to your neighbor
but keep it out of your mouth, for your
own sake as well as for his.
"The mouth and nose often serve as
portals of entry of disease producing
germs. Keep your hands away from
them.
GAS soon as the schools open in the
fall, teachers and health officers know
that there is likely to be a big in
crease in communicable diseases
diseases that spread from person to
person. Carfulness in personal habits
will help greatly to ward off such
diseases"

The chief job money does values In order
do this must have value itself 1t must consist of repre-

In many ways it the measuring the length of

But you values with credit with tickets
Only they represent valuable money they be used and

It follows that there never shortage of money If
