New Light on Race Mixture

! ~'NU LASNN WI AsNNN
II. S. jennings, zoologist of
Johns Hopkins University, in his
latest book, The Biological Basis
Of Human Nature, states that ac-
cording to the law of genetics,
parents that do not have the same
defects, though possessing. the us
ual amount of defective genes diff
ferently located in the chrome
somes, will most likely have the
strongest offspring. Scientists
have crossed inferior grades of
maize and created a superior type.
How? By selecting the maize from
widely different locations so that
parent stocks differ in the posi-
ton of their defective genes. I'm
less both parents have the same
defective gene, the child escapes
the defect and is superior to both.
Thus, it is clear that race mix
ture is a good thing biologically,
for those who have the nerve and
courage to carry on the expert
ment.
Biologically, the mixing of two
distinct stocks eventually makes
a stronger stock, if we are to be-
lieve those who have given the
subject most careful study. A
good example of the beneficent re-
suit of this mixture is to be OBJ
served in colored America which
survives and flourishes under
conditions that have decimated 9TH
er peoples.
Inbreeding is unsaf, as we al
know from witnessing the ane-
mia rampant in the inbred Euro
pean royal houses. Had the little
son of the last Car of all the
Russians not suffered from hemo-
phelia Russia's history might have
I been different. There would have
been no Rasputin, and possibly
no successful revolution. Had the
Spanish Royal House been virile
Alphonso and his sons would not
now be in exile. Inbreading was
one of the factors that destroyed
ancient Egypt.
Other Aspects OF Equality
/ biological demands call for tn,
destruction of caste lines, the
logic of equality is equally insis
tent in other realms. From the
commercial standpoint it would BIZ
far more profita bic for the ma
ton if there were one standard o.
service 70 all The dual system
greatly retards the South. 1t would
be far better the United States tC
have all groups and classes fairly
paid An industrial nation lives by
selling, not suppressing.
From the psychological stand
point, it is unwise and destruc-
tive to nurse internal dissention
in the form of hatred and pre-
judice If royal anemia paves the
way for revolutions, sectional and
group conflict just as readily
opens the way for foreign con-
quest In every nation ever con-
quered the real Williams behind
the scenes have been disgruntled
or greedy natives eager to sell out
their homeland for gold or revenge
Quarrels among East Indian pc
tentates led directly to British
West Africa, North Africa, Aztec
Mexico, China all were betrayed
from within. &C.,.
AS sure as sunshine, this coun
try will go the same way if it is
rot lucky and More sensible thar
it has been to date.

ed, we can see just how biased and
unfair is the attitude of local Of
ficials, regarding the employment
of colored men in the local Fire
Department. Those whom we find
boosting public officials of this
type, do not seem to have the well
fare of the Negro at heart.

Attorneys Examine City
Charter For Data
On The Case

AT meeting of the Detroit Civic
Rights Committee, recently held
at the local Y. NJ. C. A. on Eliza
beth street, plans were made for
waging a legal battle, under di-
rection of Attorney Charles B. Ber-
ry, to secure representation for
Negroes in Detroit Fire Depart
ment
An official of the organization,
in a recent interview, made the
following statement:
I'VE have examined the City
Charter and have not been able to
find in it any provisions, which
would permit the Mayor or any
other city official in charge of the
various municipal departments to
discriminate against Negroes, in
the distribution OF jobs in the Fire
Department or any other depart
ment which is supported by tax
money.
There is a civil rights statue in
Michigan, which rorbids discrimi-
nation against Negroes, as we'll
as other citizens, in public places,
including hotels, theatres, restaur-
ants, and so forth; and it is the
belief of the CIVIC Rights Commit
tee that this particular statute is
broad enough to curb the apparent
discrimination against Negroes, by
certain officials of Detroit
There are also laws which for
bid the use of public funds to aid
certain groups, while others are
denied the privilege of such aid.
1t is therefore necessary that our
case be taken to court, and we
believe the public is willing to sup
port us in our enGeavor to secure
economic justice for the Negro.
Several of the Southern States
are far ahead of Michigan, in
practicing distribution of employ
ment, irrespective of race and col
or. For example, the following
, cities have fire departments in
which Negroes are employed, some
being in fire stations with white
and colored fireman: They are:
Durham, N. c.; Charleston, S. c.;
Nashville, Tenn; st. Louis, Mo-
Indianapolis and Gary, Ind; Kan
sas City, Mo-; Chicago, ILL.,; New
York City, Washington, d. c.; Phil
adelphia, and Pittsburgh, Pa; and
Louisville, Ky.
Other cities in the west also en-
ploy Negro ffremen.

Detroit with conditions in cities in
which colored firemen are employ

This Watch Doc
Seeking Home
In Country

A fine watch dog is the pet
featured for adoption today. In
fact, he overworks his talent and
is inclined to be altogether too
unfriendly' with strangers, which
is the principal reason his former
owner is giving him away.
But in the country where there
will not be too many people
around, this deg would undoubted-
ly be a splendid pet. He is keen
to the slightest noise at night.
This is a male fox terrier, about
four years old, and in perfect
health. He is a pretty dog, black
and white in color.
If you would like to have this
pet, notify Mrs. Jacob Fret, 1911

BY DIR. MILTON A. BOSLEY,
d. v. M.
In my opinion the scourge Of
dogdom is distemper. Has your
animal been immunized against
this dreadful and highly con-
tagious disease? If not you should
go to your veterinarian and have
your dog inoculated with the
proper serum which will confer
prompt protection.
Even today after exhaustive re-
search here and abroad there is
no sure cure for this miserable
malady. However, in the past few
years research veterinarians have
developed an almost sure protec-
ton which has proved a godsend
to the canine population.
The disease usually attacks pup
pies and all breeds are equally sus-
ceptible, with death frequently &C.
curing. Once a dog has suffered
the disease and pulls through he
is usually forever immune.
If your dog becomes sluggish
and sleepy showing obvious signs
of sickness, the chances are dis
temper might have set in. He
will find it difficult to digest his
food and will have a warm and
exceedingly dry nose. A short
husky cough usually proceeds the
disease. His eyes lose their natural
freshness and he refuses to eat
anything set in front of him.
Symtons of distemper are us
ually manifested in the chest,
lungs, intestines or head of the
animal.
When the dog shows the above
signs of distemper, keep him
warm and dry out Of drafts and
see that he gets a well-balanced
diet. Consult your veterinarian
and he will give you blood build
ing and health pills which will
help build up the dogs resistance
to the disease.
But the safest thing is to have
him innoculated when a puppy.
The operation is simple and the
dog suffers not at all and will
probably be forever free of the
scourge Of the disease.
