Tho brief war which put an end
70 SPANS colonial empire and TO
her pretenslons as Q world power
Is more familiar to people Of the
United States than Is the rest Of
Spanish history.
That Is because II was the United
States which administered the blow.
Older people today will remember
the indignation that swept this
country when tales OF oppression
and atrocities came up from Cuba,
where Butcher" Weyler, the Span
ish commander, used medieval
methods In keeping the Cubans un-
der subjection.
When the U. 8. battleShIp Maine
was blown up In Havana harbor,
The United states demanded that
spain get out OF Cuba.
War followed, swift and decisive.
Two Spanish fleets were destroyed
that Of Montojo by Dewey at Manila
and that Of Cervera by schley and
Simpson of Santiago. The Amer

pineR and her foreign empire faded
away. Well lost, too, many Spanlards
felt because II had been q drain
rather than O resource. But there
remained o tremendous war debt
and q spirit OF pessimism spread
throughout the country. II was felt
that spain must begin again ct the
bottom.

ions, participating in the New

ence of the American League
: raigat Var and Fseism, signified
The willingness to struggle against
~imper'alist war and facist terror,
light discrimination and to gather
IL The allies they could for a uni
ted front.
During a five-hour trade union
session, delegates heard Charles
Oxford of the building Service EN-
ployees supplement the findings
of Herbert Moore of the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters.
Mr.. Oxford appealed for unity of
black and white.
1--WE Negroes" he said, "are be-
ing kept out of industry. We are
used as scabs. In a recent strike
of white building service employ
ees, the building owner scared the
strikers with the threat of unor-
ganized Negro workers. IF you
strike, I'll get Negroes, now you
had better go back to work"
"Sisters and brothers, we of the
Sleeping Car Porters who have
organized in the past ten years
against the greatest of odds have
proven that the Negro is not a
scab. He can fight. He can organ
ize. He understands solidarity and
loyalty. His white fellow-workers
must fight for his social and eco
nomic equality for their own good.
Sure as you're alive, if we workers
don't achieve unity among our
selves, the Negro will be used by
the Hearsts as the Jew was used
by Hitler in Germany"

and also an old citizen of Yincoln,
to attend the show in the eveing.
In the meantime Mrs. Wright
had secretly invited some of her
husbands old friends to be present
acquainting them Of the occasion.
After Mr.. Wright left the house,
Mrs. Wright, and her friends got
busy and prepared a fine luncheon
which vas served in buffet style.
Those helping Mrs. Wright to star
in this cas- were Mrs. Anna Bur-
ckhardt, Mrs. C. A. Long, and
Mr.. Perry Williams. Mr.. Wright
on his return home was so sur
prised and overjoyed that he had
to resort to tears as a near of
expression.
On the neatly arrange table
there was a cake which contained
rs green candles, which indicated
the number of years the Lord had
permitted him to live. Those pres
ent we're Rev. C. A. Long and wife,
Rev. o. J. Burckhardt and wife,

to a happy husband and wife.

Owls and Hawks Ravenous

Owls and hawks tear their prey
apart, then swallow 1t In large
chunks, bones, fur, feathers and all.
When the meat has been digested
they get rid of the bones and other
unwanted parts by coughing them
up as pellets. These pellets are al
ways rolled up with the bones and
sharp bits wrapped up in the skin
with the fur inside. 1t Is possible
to learn much about the birds feed
ing habits through an examination
of these pellets. The large Snowy
or Arctic owl usually chooses one
particular straw stack for his win
ter domicile and numerous pellets
will be found atop this. One Of
these, strangely enough, yielded the
skull of a least weasel, a tiny furry
animal not known to be in that re-
gion at all.-Detroit News.

About Hog Island

Discovered in 17T2 by the French,
Hog island belongs to a group of
barren rocks called the Quezot Is
lands. It derives It's name from
the fact that an English captain
liberated a few hogs on the tiny
isle a number of years after its
discovery. The hogs promptly died,
but the name stuck. Mariners came
to know and dread the forbid
ding rock when several disastrous
wrecks occurred on its shores.

Said Accidental

the Negro members was intro
duced by him as Mister he
was placed under arrest and
taken to the police station and
questioned by Chief of Police
Lee.
Want No Mixed Meetings
MY only motive in arresting
Mr.. Mardis Chief Lee said,
was that we don't a want mix
ed meeting of whites and blacks
and further we don't want Ne
groes introduced as Mr.. Jones
or Mr.. Jackson or Mr.. any
thing else before white men
and women. 1t gives thom a
sense of equality that might
result detrimenally to the
good relations that exists be-
tween the Negroes and whites
of this city"
In explaining his side of the
case, Mardis declared that the
organization of which he was
secretary did not foster mixed
meeting but that delegates of
two local unions had been intro
duced into open meetings of the
Workers Alliance to help them
organize their own unions.
"The Workers Alliance is an
organization of the unemploy-
ed, part-time employed and re-
lief workers. he said, 1--WE
have about 500 members with
a little more than 100 Negroes.
1t is an organization of the pre-
viously unorganized to help
better their condition by pro-
testing against the dsffereneps
between WPA wages in the
North and South"
'Mistering" An Accidental sli
Referring to his calling one
of the Negro delegates Mis-
ter" Mardis stated:
"As for the mastering psft,
| did address the Negro dele
gate who was to speak as
.er' but t was m accidental
slip. We do not believe III Mis-.
tering Negroes in a Southern
city like Memphis.
Mardis further assured the
chief that in the future it would
no be necessary for Negroes to
attend the open meetings since
their organization work had
been completed but that they
might be invited to attend the
meetings of the leaders of the
movement which would be clos
ed. After his release he indi-
caed that he would confer with
his lawyer as to what steps to
take in bringing charges against
the notice of ''illegal arrest. -

THOUGHTS
The brain is a factory

The brain is a factory
Where flower and weed thoughts
grow.
The thoughts you think
Are the seeds you SOW.
g!
Every kind and loving flower
thought,
Produces a kind and loving deed.
While a thought that is selfish,
Is like an ughly old weed.
We should watch what we think
Each minute all day, and pull
up,
All the ugly old weed thoughts,
And throw them away.
We should plant kind loving,
Flower thoughts, so thick in
a row,
That there will not be room,
For ugly old weed thoughts
10 grow.
