Infant Mortality
Alarming IN N Y.
Among Negroes

New York, Jan. 18-In GER
tain districts of New York City
particularly in Harlem, accord
ing to a report of the Depart
ment of Health for the last
year, "infant mortality is near
ly double that of the city at
large" and the tuberculosis
death rate two or three times
that of the city.
Tied up with infant mortal
ity, the declining birth rate of
the City is a matter of great
concern to city authorities. The
report stated that the birth
rate for 1885 was "less than
fourteen per one thousand as
compared to approximately
thirty-five per one thousand at
the beginning of the present
century"
The per capita cost for health
last year was fifty-three cents,
the report said, adding "this is
much too low to do the most
effective work.

New Deal under Roosevelt is
credited with modifying this thru
the appointment of Negroes to adj
visory or administrative posi-
tions in various departments.
Representation Inadequate
There are, however, two de-
fects at present. Federal employ
ment is uneven and inadequate as
can be seen by a comparison of
the number of Negroes in govern
ment service with the number Of
There is little or no employment
in the great bulk of federal occu-
pations-clerks, stenographers or
typists. But the Resettlement adj
m~inistration, with Negroes en-
ployed in all capacities, is setting
a good precedent.
Other government agencies, as
IVA, WPA, PWA, affect the en-
ployment of Negroes. The late c
w A, found Negroes suffered
most from the tendency to class
fly them, regardless of skill, as
unskilled and pay them accord
ingly. In some cases the IVA has
found local opposition to bring
ing in colored workers. There has
also been pressure in h e r
places against the use of skilled
workers. The PWA overcame this
by inserting provisions in its con-
housing projects in Atlanta that
unless contractors hired a def
mite proportion of Negro skilled
labor it would be called discrimi-
nation. Since it worked, the same
clause is used everywhere.
The Re-settlement Administra-
ton is also fighting diserimina-
ton and intends to see that Ne
groes are hired in proportion to
the population, he asserted. The
department of labor has contacted
local unions for all projects and
has secured membership or tenn
porary work permits for all Negro
skilled workers used.
In order to be better able to
remedy the matter, DR.. Viewers
department is planning a national
survey covering problems of
these groups of colored skilled
and white collar workers, he an

fine audience made up of many
visitors as well as members. In
spite of the slight snow flurries,

greatly in swelling attendance.
Next Sunday, the eighth, will
find US having two worship serv-

with the pastor, Rev. D. P. Young,
using the theme, "The Cross in
Art and in Religion" At 8 p. m,
Rev. II. w. Bolts will be guest

You cannot afford to miss hearing
this great Gospel preacher, nor his
very fine choir of trained voices.

program, we are indeed fortunate
in having our good friends from

FOOD AND HEALTH

Popular ideas about food are strOnge
admixture OF truth and fiction, according
to recent article by DIR. Lieb, an author
ity on diet. Particularly is this the case
with respect to notions of what is good for
people, or not good for them, under vary
ing circumstances.
For example bananas and nuts were
long thought to be hard to digest, but if
the bananas are ripe ard the nuts are
chewed sufficiently they are among the
most easily digestible of foods
The prejudice against raw foods is al
so unwarranted it is said. Raw corn,
wheat and other starches in moderate
amounts are completely digested while
raw potatoes are 78 per cent digestible.
The craving of some children for raw
potatoes may be INDUCED to a reasonable
extent without harm, and the same is true
of raw cabbage and lettuce.
Drinking water during meals was long
thought to be harmful to the digestion,
but for normal persons it is now declared
to be beneficial if slipped in between swal-
lows of solid food.
Forcing children to eat spinach or
other foods which they do not like is not
good for them, as the feeling of repulsion
which they experience binders digestion.
While the doctor does not say so in
so many words, it appears that a rather
safe rule of diet is to eat what one likes,
provided it does not produce any disagree
able after effects. And regardless of ad-
vice, that is what most of us insist on do
ing anyway.

CANCER NOT INHERITED

After experiments with $4,000 rats
during a period of II years, the Institute
of Cancer Research announces the definite
conclusion that cancer is never inherited
An announcement by the Institute says:
Cancer is a terrible disease, not only
because it brings pair and death, but also
because it inspires an immense amount of
worry in a great many people who are
never going to suffer from it physically.
1T is the people who have seen can
Ger attack some member of their family
who worry the most and without cause. 1t
appears from the research done that cam
Ger does not start unless there is an irrita-
ton present. The germ cells which are in
herited from parents do not carry the
liability to cancer.
THE main benefit derived from the
study is that it removes the fatalistic at
titude developed toward the disease. 1t is
that attitude which keeps many persons
away from the doctor during the early
stages of the cancer growth, when through
an early examination and treatment life
might often be saved"

PHILIPPINE DEFENSE

Many Americans have wondered, in
connection with granting the I hiippine Is
lands independence, whether or not the
FilipinOS could maintain their freedom
General Douglas Macarthur, former Chief
of Staff of the United States Army. now
military adviser to President QueZOn
seems to be rather optimistic that the
Philippines can be defended
The plans, according to General Mae
Arthur, are that when the Philippines be-
come an independent republic, after 1915,
he said, there will be an offshofe patrol Of
fifty to 100 small defense ships capable Of
moving fifty to sixty miles an hour, 4O0,-
600 trained reserves, a 250-plane air force
and a comparatively small standing army
In thirty years he added, there will be 1,
100000 army reserves.
General Macarthur said that if the is
lands followed the general defense plan
1.-The Philippines can rest in perfect Sc
curity. 1t would take 100000 men, $1O,-
0OO,0OO,00O, tremendous casualties and
three years time successfully to invade
the Philippines he added.
