BIOLOGISTS
DISCUSS THE
RACE ISSUE
CONTINUED from page II
throughout all of Europe.

| throughout all or Europe.
Professor Julian Huxley, who
recently co-outhored a scientific
book scotching the idea of pure
racial stocks, was one Of the bitter
enemies of any group designation
on the basis of race" To him the
term no longer has any scientific
meaning and he would prefer us
ing "tehnic group"
at is impossible to give scien'
tific definition of race" proclaimed
the eminent professor. at cannot
be properly applied to man since
the term has connotations which
do not apply in the human species
| The immediate task before an
thropology is to definite human
groups in terms of measurable
characters and correlations be-
tween them"
An internationally prominent
geneticist, Professor r. Ruggles
Gates, disagreed. He said race
ought to be retained, adding that
those who wanted to regard the
major human groups as subspecies
should not forget there is no uni
formity among lions, tigers of
higher mammals. There are nine
recognized races of gorillas and
four of champanzees, and If scien-
lists find no trouble in accepting
these apes as traces" they should
not object to human races, Profess
sor Ruggles asserted.
Directing to the Ruggles stand
was Professor f. A. r.. Crew,
equally famous as a genticist, who
branded as "preposterous" any
idea that large groups of humans
were so uniform and stable they
might be called traces" To him
the whole problem of race" was
one of interbreeding and heredity
when an animal breeder wants
to keep a strain what he calls
pure he uses barbed wire"
Professor Crew declared. There is
no barbed wire in nature. Even
mountain ranges, deep seas and
deserts have not been effective bar
riers to migration.
Human beings have roamed
and mated. Man in the mass knows
no biological barrier. The only
barriers to mating are taboos,
varying in time and place.
Because Of the ceaseless move
ment and the mixing, shuffling and
redistribution of genes, no con-
stollation OF characters that dis
tinguished individuals of one pri-
mary sub-species Of mankind from
the rest has remained intact"
According to Professor A. N.
Carr-Saunders, another biologist
who quoted the sociologist and his
torian, Professor Toynbee, there
have been "21, civilizations of
which five have survived. Nordic
whites have contributed to Eve OF
these 81, the Alpine whites to at
least seven, Polynesian whites to
one, the browns to two, the Fellows

MISTER news
SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH
(By Miss C. whitney,

Services at the Second Baptist
Church began Sunday morning by
the wonderful prayer service held
in the Pastors Study by the Dea-
cons and assistant pastor and CO.
workers Rev. e. B. Reese and Rev.
w. L. Douglass.
The Sunday School was held at
the usual time under the supervi-
sion Of the Supt. B. Cooper. The
lesson was very Interestingly dis
cussed. The devotional service
was conducted by deacons Baker
and Lambert, and was very inspir-
ing.
The musical part of the morning
service was under the direction OF
the Jr. Choir of which Cleveland
Curry is director They marched
to the stand singing the process
sional hymn, Holy, Holy Fol-
lowing they sang many beautiful
songs with much enthusiasm.
Rev. w. l.. Douglas delivered a
very interesting sermon His sub
ject was 1.-THE Nature of True Wor-
ship" Some of the facts he stress
ed were; IF not going to church
with the object of seeing a true
God, then going to church is IN
vain; There must be truth in wor-
shipping God; as long as the
heart is right with God, one can
worship God any place and any
time; Worshipping God with a
pure heart is the kind Of worship
God will accept"
In the afternoon Second Bap-
fist were guests of the Mt. Zion
Baptist Church of Ecorse, Mich.
Rev. Douglas delivered another in
teresting sermon; his subject, "The
Purpose of The Church In the
World" Many helpful thoughts
were impaired.
Some OF which were, 1.-THE
CHuTC0 SHOulu De dDle 10 CuduBS
the mind of any man of the world
who comes in contact with the
church; The church is responsible
for the home of every member who
belongs to the church; If the church
fails to speak, God has no Voice.
Following this most interesting
sermon, a beautiful Duet was sung
by Mrs. Hurry and Miss e. Berry,
God Shall Wipe All Tears Away"
The night service was also very
encouraging and interesting. A
program was rendered by the Jun
ior and Senior choirs with Mr.. o.
w. Orange director and Master Of
Ceremonies.

to three, the reds to four and the
blacks to none"
Although he quoted Tcynbee who
apparently is not acquainted with
recently uncovered facts Of African
history and evidently ATTRIBUTES
the ancient Egyption civilization
to the browns" Professor Carr
Saunders belittled the apparently
poor showing of the blacks by
pointing out:
There are fair-haired and blue
eyed Highlanders of Northwest
Africa who have defied the assaults
and Establishments of one civiliza-
ton after another and fair-haired
blue-eyed Highlanders of Albania
who have contrived to evade civil
lization in fastness which overlook
the highbread betweent Greece and
Rome.
at is unsafe to conclude that
sections of the white group are
incapable of civilization. So with
the blacks. Their time may come
yet to develop civilization. Any OF
the major groups Of mankind are
Intimately capable Of making dra-
matte advances, implied by the
passage from primitive social orga'
( nization to which we call civiliZa
ton This means that all major
groups have the necessary intelli
gence to build and maintain a civil
liaztion, intelligence being the
quality most needed for the pur'
pose.
Civilization created by any one
of the successful major groups re-
| sembles one another in color anc
] atmosphere. 1t would seem that
one civilization was derived from
another, but evidence suggests the
possibility the resemblances arise
from differences in emotional and
temperamental characteristics"
The large audience, after hear,
ing the discussions by the renown'
ed scientists, came to the conclu
sion that the best authorities were
as technically perplexed as thu
average man. Geneticists, zoolog
lists, historians and statistician'
can merely utter convictions tina
the popular conceptions of race
are all wrong, but no branch OF
science is yet able to say what
definitely distinguishes one GROUP
of humanity from another-If there
are definite distinguishing charac-
teristics. ......

RETAIL 7 RADE
BEST SINCE 30

Responding to combination Of
increased purchasing power, fair
weather and good consumer buy
ing psychology, retail trade for the
first half of the current year was
the best since 1880, according to a
survey by the Standard Statistics
Company.
Mail-order sales were approx
mately 1877 per cent larger than in
the previous year, all leading COM
panies reporting the greatest vol
u1ne for any similar period in their
histories. Dollar transactions i'll
department stores were 10 per cent
ahead of last year, the sharpest
gain for any first half since 1923.
Speciality and furniture stores
scored increases of more than 20
per cent.
OF further significance was the
strong revival of variety store sales
during the final two months of the
first half. After an extended
period of only nominal gains, sales
in May showed sudden increase
of IS per cent, then rose IA per
cent in June. The improvement,
however, may be regarded as TEN,
porary and does not reverse the
seemingly general trend of va.
riety chains towards sterilization
rather than additional expansion
of volume.

BANKING
RESOURCES
MOUNT

Continued improvement in the
condition Of State-chartered bank
ing institutions, with an increase
of more than 5000 million dollars
in a year in total resources, is
shown in a report by the State
bank division of the American
Bankers Association. The report.
which was prepared by the divi-
sion's committee on State bank
research from data furnished by
State banking departments, said:
"The combined resources Of
1O,473 State-supervised banks
were $35,724,723,OOO as Of De.
cember 81, 1885. Total deposits
amounted to $3O,526, 100000.
Total loans and discounts stood
at $12,43O,4O 200 and total in.
vestments were $14,17O,421,0OO."
MORE BANKS THEN
A year previous, tables in the re.
port show, there were 1854 State
supervised banks with combined
resources Of $32, $3.50, 203 900; total
deposits, $27, 297 $50 900; loans
and discounts. $13. O60, 033, 900, and
investments, $12,582, 1926, 900.
OF the reporting State-banking
institutions on December 81, 1885,
80 per cent we're commercial
banks, the report states, 9 per cent
trust companies, almost 9 per cent
stock and mutual savings banks,
and less than per cent were
private banks. The report adds:
"The parallel upward move
mentS Of deposits and total in
vested funds Of total State-Super-
vised banks during the years
1884 and 1885, after declines in
these items in 1892 and 1888,
are indications of definite steps
toward recovery in State banking,
Based on figures assembled for
total State-supervised banks on
resources and liabilities as Of De-
cember 81, 1885, it is noted:
Deposits Rise
First, deposits in 1885 rose ap-
proXimately IL per cent over the
previous year, as compared with
an increase of 9 per cent in 1884
over the year 1888, and declines
of z per cent and IL per cent
in 1888 and 1882, respectively.
from the preceding years of 1882
and 1881, and second, total in
vested funds increased by ap-
proximately 2 per cent in 1885
and also in 1884. while they de-
creased by 9 per cent in 1888
and by II per cent in 1882"
In q survey and analysis Of
earnings and expenses of State
banks doing a commercial bust
ness, it is brought out that in a
majority Of States they have in
creased their earning ability dur
ing 1885.

PRIVATE LOANS.
STILL IN LEAD

CHICAGO, July 25.-Despite
increased activities of the Fed
eral Housing Administration, the
private mortgage lenders over the
country are continuing to make
the bulk of the loans, according
to a poll of members of the
Mortgage Bankers Association Of
America, results of which were
made public today. Reports from
20 cities also showed that private
lenders are making loans at an
average of almost l per cent less
interest than the Government
agency.
The average interest rate
charged by private mortgage
lenders in 20 principal cities COW
cred by the poll was $50 per
cent, which is more than "a Of
! per cent less than the $50 per
cent interest rate of FILA insured
loans. This latter figure, 6.38
per cent, represents the actual
cost of FILA loans rather than
the 5 per cent figure more often
used, according to the associa-
ton. Average interest rate in the
Far West and Mountain States
was ST. per cent. in the Middle
Western States So per cent, in
the Southern States 5.87 per cent.
and in the Eastern States $50
per cent, according to the survey.
In commenting on the poll, L.
A. Mclean, president, said:
ut would appear from our
reports that FLA will not make
more than 10 per cent of the -
total amount of mortgages this
year. Our report showed that
in 20 PRINCIPAL cities, in all Of
which the Government agencv'S
lenders were very active, FILA
accounted for 2A.4 per cent Of
the total in the first six months
this year while private lenders
made 7S.6 per cent of the total.
With this as base for the en-
tire country and keeping in
mind that there are thousands
Of communities over the land
where FILA lenders are not &C
tive but where private inStitu.
tons are making loans daily,
it would anDear that FHA's

HOPES OF FALL
RISE BRIGHTEN

Intermittent rains temporarily
relieved the two-month drought
in the major agricultural sections
of the Middle West and South.
Although too late to aid spring
wheat, improved weather condi-
tions now permit hope that the
curtailment Of corn and cotton
yields will not reach drastic pro-
portions, according to the Stand
ard Statistics Company. Farm
products prices are in most in
stances substantially higher than
earlier this season and at least a
moderate increase in gross farm
income as compared with 1885
now appears reasonably certain,
the firm said, adding:
with one of the most dan
Eerous potential handicapS to
continued trade expansion thus
now partly overcome, confidence
in the fall business outlook
should be moderately strength
ened. Federal emergency relief
measures in the most seriously
affected farm areas are expected
to virtually offset losses Of farm
income arising from the drought.
Industrial production cOntin-
ues to hold at exceptionally
high levels for this season. In all
the major industries, recesSiOns
from the peak levels of the past
several months have been much
smaller than had been expected.
However, an acceIerating decline
in schedules of the steel and
automobile industries is ex-
pected next month when the
automobile industry prepares for

THE SOUTH AND THE NEW DEAL


The most infamous assault upon
the American system Of government
and the most brazen Indictment to
revolution that have come from the
pen OF any responsible member of
the administrator at Washington
find expression in a book, Whose
Constitution? written by Henry A.
Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture.
Unless the letter and spirit Of this
book are repudiated by the Admins
tration at the earliest possible mo-
ment. preferably by demanding the
resignation of Wallace himself. the
task of inducing the American peO-
pie to travel along with the New
Deal in the hope that the leader him
self will shift to the Right will be
Unspeakably difficult.
Wallace makes the amazing state
ment that If agriculture We're today
a local matter, as the Supreme
Court says it is, half of tho people
of the United States would quickly
starve"
The complete answer is that they
would have come perilOusly near it
if Henry Wallace could have con-
tinued his policy of throwing 6,O0O.- |
900 little pigs in the river, plowing |
up a third of the lettuce in Arizona |
end California and requiring Mid
West farmers to burn their wheat
at a time when 100000 persons
were out of work.
The dyspeptic snarl with which
continues to greet those de-
cisions of the Supreme Court which
saved the country by invalidating
NRA and AAA will tend to stir the
red blood of the American people
