oped on their arrival here were

JUST WHAT rs A NEGRO?
In the June 9th issue of the lib
eral Catholic weekly, America, DR..
John Gillard tries honestly to dis
cover what a Negro is. If one
drop of Negro blood in America
makes an otherwise white person
a Negro here, the same miracle
but in the reverse is witnessed in
Africa. There, one drop of white
blood apparently, makes an other
wise brown person, white For in
stance, Ethiopia The ruling class
of Ethiopia had mixed ancestry
so Ethiopia automactilly became
white. But to be consistent, the
same principle Of mixed ancestry
would leave very few Negroes in
America. About ten million
Afromericans would at once be-
come white, just as has already
happened in Cuba, Brazil and Cen
trail America where no one is a
Negro who is not both black and
poor.
But even in Africa, alas, there
are no pure races, says DR.. Gillard.
Before Negroes were ever brought
here they were intermixed and of
many distinct stocks. And not
even the lawmakers of this open
minded republic can decide what
a Negro is. A person legally
Negro in most Southern states
isn't one at all in Michigan, Ne
braska or Oregon. And a Negro
in Oklahoma is anyone whose de-
scendants ever lived in Africa,
which might come as a great
shock to many Dutch and Eng
lish South Africans.

WPA PROJECTS
BAR COLORED
IN LITTLE ROCK

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-House-
cleaning is the thing confronting
New Dealers in the home state of
high-in-the-councils Joe Robinson
and Rep. Hattie Caraway, espec-
cially in Little Rock, which has a
population of $4,000 colored or
one-third of the total. Colored
persons have been most adversely
affected under the WPA and other
government projects.
In November, 1885, there were
$50 relief projects for whites and
none for the colored. Prominent
colored citizens petitioned Wash
ington and, after investigation,
240 women were employed on two
sewing projects their salaries
ranging from $33 to $48 per
month as compared with $48 to
$1O0 for the whites.
The WPA in December of the
same year ordered the colored
women dropped from its roll; at
present there are sixty working
on the sewing project, and five
in a nursery school.
When asked why they were cut
from their jobs, the following an
swers were given by the local Of
ficers in charge Of relief: You
should get lawn mower and go
out and cut someone's lawn; Your
children are too young for you to
be working; you should depend
upon your gentleman friend. Many
of the women were without hus-
bans, or never had had any, and
have dependent children chiefly of
school age.
The whites with a little less
than two-thirds of the population
are employed in sewing, book
mending,> recreation, music, cam
paigning and various other acti-
vities. The colored group has a
lone sewing project and a nursery
school.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

"~HE chief feature of military training in schools,
- colleges and camps is the building up of char
acter and uncompromiSng truthfulness"
This sentence is taken from retired Army Off
GERS speech. There can be no doubt he is sincere,
just as many civilians are sincere in their disagree
ment.
UncomproniSng truthfuneSS is not to be found
in any kind OF military training in any country on
earth. It's basic fundamentals are composed of I'M
truth; the fabrcations of profteers; the false
propaganda about other nations; the Qualification of
those instincts which are most shameful in men, the
urge to hate to destroy and to take what belongs to
another No matter how many fine names we apply to
these characteristics the truth compels recog-
nZe them for what they are
Brig Gen. William Mitchell died the other day.
He contributed notable service to his country in the
World War and was decorated for extraordinary
heroism. But he happened to be a who spoke
the truth as he saw it. For that. he co-t-nnar
tailed and kicked out of department of government
to which he had brought honor but which could not
bear to hear itself criticised When Gen. Mitchell
spoke of the "incompetency and criminal negligence"
of certain national defense policies he dshonor
ably discharged
Whether he right or wrong does not enter
into our question. There is only point to con-
slider He was not allowed to say what he believed
was true
Does the Army permit men to tell the truth Wien
it does not coincide with the opinion of its leaders?
Does the boy who becomes involved in military sys
tenn ever have a chance to speak the truth?
The facts disprove it. Life in Germany Italy and
Russia disproves it.

PLUGGING A LEAK?

CECRETARY ROPER doesn't like news to leak
- out of the Commerce Department He therefore
has dismissed Commander H. Mccoy Jones and
Frederick L. Adams Of the Bureau of Navigation
and Steamboat Inspection on charges of insrhor
dnation
Several weeks ago the Board Of Supervising In
spectors OF the Bureau met in Washington They
passed a resolution which said in substance that
they no longer could be responsible for the safety
OF the lives OF passengers and crews on American
ships. They complained of lack of funds and ner
sonnet in the bureau.
No announcement was made of the resolution
by the department. But shortly copies of it an
peared anonymously in several newspaper Offices
The resolution was published and Immediately
there was the devil to pay in the Commerce De-
partment. Treasury agents we're summoned to
investigate. The agents even went to Mr. Adams
home to question him.
AND according to Secretary Roper's explana-
ton, refusal Of Mr.. Jones and Mr. Adams to answer
questions about the premature" release of the
resolution was what constituted INSTRUMENTATION
1t also appears from Secretary Roper's explana-
ton that much material pertinent to the public in
teres is quietly filed away where none but the elect
may see it This would indicate policy based unon
the presumption that what the public doesn't know
won't hurt Secretary Roper
IL appears that among the things thus filed awav
would have been the supervisors resolution, had #
not been released without the imprima1ur of Sec
rotary Roper Surely it matter of great nublic
Importance that should have been PROMPTLY
from official sources
The effect of its circulation was public service
and for that two government EMPLOYEES have los+
their jobs.

ONCE these studies have been
~ made, it has been found that 10
to Is per cent of all people respond
to the eating of certain food sub
stances with constitutional reactions.
The foods concerned may be such
wholesome articles OF diet as milk
eggs and cereals, or such appe-
tizing luXuries as Strawberries and

A baby sensitive to egg will be-
come severely sick after eating an
amount of egg too small to be
weighed on a chemical scale. A
person sensitive to honey will get SO
i'll after eating honey that he will
be unable to go about his daily work
He need not eat the honey as such,
but may even get it as a favoring
for cake or some CONNECTION.
Some people are so sensitive to
eggs that they become i'll by getting
the trace of egg contained in chick
en- meat. On the other hand, the
same person may eat rooster meat
with impunity.
A man so years old who had
asthma was so sensitive to fish and
fish glue that he developed an at
tack every time he licked a postage
stamp. Truly. in such cases, one
mans meat is another mans poison.

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

COMETIMES you hear of a num-
- Der of people becoming i'll after
having attended banquet, or 9TH
erwise having eater # the same
kind of food. In cases, it is
usually found thag God con-
tanned some poisonous substance, or
certain germs responsible for the
infection.
There are cases on record in
which metallic poisons were in
volved. In most instances. the poi
son concerned came from certain
groups of germs usually found as
food contaminants.
If, however only one or two per-
sons who partook of a certain food
develop abdominal symptoms or
break out with a rash, the trouble is
with these persons and not with the
food. On examination, the victims
are likely to be found sensitive to
the proteins in the food.
Sensitivity to food substances
shows itself by such symptoms as
vomiting and nausea after eating
the food, sometimes with excessive
action of the bowels. In many in
stances there are rashes on the skin,
and occasionally the eruption Of
WhealS or bliSterS.

minds off their troubles and debts
by reading the paper. They read
the comments of such men as
Smith, Ford, Hoover and the ego
bloated j. P Morgan, who says,
when you destroy the leisure class
you destroy civilization"
He no doubt feels it is fair and
square that the workers of the
world, including the doctors and
men of profession, should be de-

made his happiness possible, but
whose work is no longer needed
by these parasites, can now lie
down and die.
After reading a little of this stuff

anything, but making people wish
some one, somewhere, could say or
do something to make these poor
unfortunate money-blinded men
understand before it is too late.
So he turns the dial and we lis
ten to great comedian whose
jokes are so poor that he has to
laugh at them himself We wonder,
when we read that he gets $500
for a half-hour of nit-wit comedy,
and men who really do work can't
get SIS cents for a full hour.
One of his jokes which contained
more truth than comedy was, THE

about his twin SIX
We like to hear him and many
others, but with $500 for 80 min

wrong; but the workers are not the
