Negro Second
Among
''HighbroWs

WASHINGTON CO. = The
"f1ll-blooded" American Negro is
second among the "highbrows" of
the world, according to DR.. Ales
Hrdlicka, anthropologist of the
United States National Museum,
in a report published by the Smith
sonian Institution. In measuring
the height of the forehead of the
different races, DR.. Hrdlicka finds
Eskimos first, with 2.81 inches,
Negroes second with 2.74, North
American Indians third, with 2.6O,
Irish fourth, Old Americans (first
farnilies) fifth, Tennessee noun
taineers, sixth, etc. It was point
ed out that the Negroes measured
were "full-blooded", suggesting
that mixed bloods were inferior in
intelligence quotients. The doc
tor has measured heads for 40
years.

ANOTHER GETS CARE
FOR MATE

BIRMINGHAM = Two elderly
Negro women appeared at the
social service department of Hill
man hospital last week and after
telling heart-touching stories,
gained what they sought.
Mrs. Cornelia Fields, IL, wanted
a general health examination.
That is contrary to the policy of
Hillman Hospital, which examines
only those individuals who know
definitely what is wrong with
them. That is what officials told
them.
The elderly woman got up to
leave, disappointment written on
her wrinkled face.
II sure was hopin' I could get
it," she said. "I've started going
to school out where I live and I've
got two years to go before I get
my diploma. I know I haven't
much time to live and I wanted to
get the diploma before I died. So
I was hoping they could repair me
here, If needed any, long enough
to pull through to get the dip
loma."
The other woman was Mrs.
Georgia Jackson, who pleaded so
hard for the admission of her hus-
band, Henry, to the county aims
house that tears trickled down
her cheeks.
He's been an invalid four years
and all the time I've waited on
him hand and foot" she said. But
I'm getting old and I can't do all
for him that ought to be done.
Maybe he wasn't as good as he
could have been," she added. "He

This is Your Paper, 1t, Tells Your
Story and Fights for Your
Equality

YOU can help to make this little
paper larger and better if you will
only send the editor all the per-
sonals that you come in contact
with that would be of general in
terest to the Race.
You don't have to be a polished
writer, you don't need fancy paper
or a typewrite, just jot the item
down and mail or bring it to the
editor.
There are many cities larger
than Phoenix that has no Race
paper. Do what you can to in
sure this little paper for your use.
We are glad to publish items Of
general interest; lodge news, and
church news and etc.
And when buying from our ad-
vertisers, if you will but mention
to them the fact that you noticed
their advertisement in the Clean
it will help us out wonderfully.
It has always been we'll known
fact that the Negro cannot get
proper space in the ordinary news
paper for his items. If he does
get the space, usually the facts are
so distorted that one could not
recognize the truth from the ap-
pearance of the article. And per-
sonals! Well, did you ever see
one in the local papers?
If you do your part and send us
in items of interest occasionally,
and patronize our advertisers, it
will not be long before we can
have a larger and better paper.

he reads morning that II Duce has occupied the
