OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Party:
Gentlemen:
L Inasmueh as the right of the
ballot j. the handspring of demo-
crate government, that right must
be made secure. In a government
o. the people, by the people and
for the people," SO fundamental is
this right. that property and edu-
cational qualifications should be
abolished. In other words, there
should be universal suffrage in the
primaries as wei. - IN general ell
ections, in both our state and ma
tional governments.
2. Definite steps should be TAX
en- to safeguard the civil rights of
the Negro in every state of the
Union and if necessary, they should
be crystallized into another amend
ment to the Federal constitution
3. AS the judiciary is one of the
most important branches of our
form of government, Negroes
should have representation on the
Federal bench and also in the vari-
GUS state judicial offices.
4. Such representation should be
accorded the Negro in every other
branch of the government, on all
administrative boards and commits
sions, and in the Civic Service.
Particularly, we urge that appli-
cants for civil service be known
and selected by fingerprints Ia
stead Of photographs, so as to pre-
vent discrimination.
5. Inasmuch as the crime of
lynching is a national evil and dis
grace in that it challenges respect
for law and order and renders life
and property of American citizens
insecure, there should be enacted
at once Federal law against
lynching.
We deem these matters so vital
ly important to the, Negro and to
the national that we are request
ing the opportunity to personally
present them 20 your committee at
the very earliest possible moment.

''SWINC Time"
AT THE MARVA
mon. TUES. WE'D.
Opening Awaited With Eager
ness By Local Cinema
Going Public

Whirling to new prestige in their
sixth consecutive dancing triumph,
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers set
up a new record for themselves to
shoot at with their "Swing Time" the
most tuneful and original of all their
vehicles. It's opening at the Marva
Theatre is awaited with eagerness by
the local cinema-going public.
Teamed for the first time in ely
ing Down To Rio," their featured stat
US in that production was raised to
stellar ranking in the successive "The
Gay Divorcee," Roberta" "Top Hat"
and "Follow the Fleet" each of which
surpassed it's predecessor in popular
ity.
Now with the delightful Jerome
Kern musical setting, brilliant cast
and spectacular features of "Swing
Time," the wing-footed celebrities bid
fair to eclipse their previous records
as Americas favorite screen enter
tainers. They present several notables
dances, one of which "The Waltz in
Swing Time," is scheduled to be the
ballroom rage of the year, and half
dozen song numbers of which "Pick
Yourself Up" "The Way You Look
Tonight" "Never Gonna Dance" and
"a Fine Romance" are acknowledged
song hits.
In addition, Astaire appears in
blackface for the first time in his
career in the "Bojangles of Harlem"
number, rated as the most amazing
screen spectacle of the season, in
which he performs a sensational
hand-andfoot tap dance with back
ground of beautiful dancing girls in
a breathtaking setting designed by
John Harkrider.
Victor Moore, Helen Broderick, Eric
Blore, Betty Furness, and Georges
Metaxa are featured 3 principals in

CARELESSNESS
IN PERSONAL
HABITS A PERIL
Germ Exchanges May Be Estab-
lished. Advice To Mary
land Pupils

"Don't establish a germ exchange
through carelessness in your personal
habits" is the advice Of DR.. R. II.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health to girls and boys in
Maryland as they start in on another
year at school. Incidentally the adj
vice is equally applicable to grown
ups.
"Much of the sickness caused by
the catching diseases" DR.. Riley
continued; sis matter of give and
take. Coughs, colds, sore throat, di-
seases of the lungs and other diseases
that are spread through discharges
from the nose and throat, belong in
the give and take class. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, whipping 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 contracted in the
same way and so are certain skin di-
seases.
"The hand-washing habit is one of
the best means of defense against di-
seases contracted in the give or take
method. 1t serves double purpose
it protects you against disease produc-
ing germs picked up on the hands in
various ways, and it safeguards those
with whom you come in contact, es-
pecially those with whom you shake
hands, for whom you prepare food
with whom you share your lunches OF
other belongings. Form the habit anC
remember to wash your hands thor
oughly and often; always after yor
have been in the toilet, and always
before eating or before preparing
food for others.
eff you develop cold, don't broad
cast your germs. Don't cough OF
sneeze in your neighbours face. Have
your own handkerchief; your owl
towel and your own drinking cup. You
can be generous and friendly without
exchanging germs. Share your ap
pies with your chums but don't bite
into the fruit first. Lend your pen
Gil to your neighbor but keep it ou
of your mouth, for your own sake a!
we'll as for his.
"The mouth and nose often serve
as portals of entry of disease produc
ing germs. Keep your hands ava!
from them.
Gas soon as the schools open in thu
fall, teachers and health officers know
that there is likely to be a big in
crease in communicable diseases-di
.seases that spread from person t,
person. Carefulness in personal hab
it's will help greatly to ward off sucl
diseases"
