question in the minds of physicians.
Almost everyone has a fall of some
type or an injury to the head at
some time during early life.
Therefore, if an injury to the brain
occurs or does not occur it is due
to the strength of the blow and the
power of resistance of the skull
and it's contents.
For this reason it is almost i'm
possible to state at the time of in
jury whether or not there will be
some mental change. Physicians
have usually considered statements
concerning falls on the head rather
lightly because of their universal
ity.~ However, one investigator, DIR.

Blau, has made a detailed study of
children who showed mental
changes after such injuries. He
has divided his results into four
types. First, those patients who,
on regaining consciousness, showed
emotional and motor instability
with fear and anxiety. This condi-
ton was acute and cleared up in
few weeks. Second, chronic be-
havior disorders with intelligence
within normal range. Delinquency
was the important factor here and
it tended toward progression.
Third, epilepsy following the in
jury which could not be laid to
hereditary faint. Fourth, mental
deficiency as a result of second
airy intellectual deterioration. This,
although rare, may develop from a
lack of interest in life.
1t would be we'll to prevent head
injuries to infants and young chill

the fact that at the time they seem
to be little affected by such rough

KOLA Music co. HAS RACE
COLLECTOR

Leon Burnett, GOA Broadway, st.
Paul, is employed by the Kola
Music Co. as collector.
This company installs nickel VIC
trolas in restaurants, beer taverns
and various other places of amuse-
ment.
Mr.. Burnett is also in charge of
the record exchange in the ma
chimes owned by this company both
in st. Paul and Minneapolis.

has been most active. She works
chiefly on the Minneapolis north
side.
The stormy petrol of Republican
politics in Minneapolis is Mrs.
Fannie Shanks, president of the
Minnesota Association of Colored
Women. Capable of building a
large following because of her
progressive outlook and fundamen-
tai community interest, her work
has been hampered by fractional
fights and her failure to work well
with other personalities. With less
training than some of the others
she is yet more interested in her
own peoples progress than other
prominent women. While normal
ly an adherent of the G. o. P. she
has been known to go outside the
Republican camp to support candi-
dates. Her support of Mayor VIM.
A. Anderson is one example. She
has not used her club women's con-
nection to further her own political
fortunes as some of the other
women have done. Her greatest
handicap is that she considers her
self always right.
Mrs. Dovie Welsh of st. Paul is
the most prominent Independent in
Minnesota. Several years ago she
aroused st. Paul Negroes as they
had never been aroused before
along political lines.
There are no outstanding Negro
women Democrats in this state.
Mrs. Mary L. Short was active in
1882 for the Democratic ticket, but
has not shown much interest in
the present campaign.
Mrs. Beverly Hollimon of Duluth
has charge of the Roosevelt work
in that city.
Other women who show more
than a passing interest in political
parties, etc., are Mrs. Annie Foster
of st. Paul, Mrs. Matte Deering,
Mrs. Palmer Jackson and Mrs. I.
M. Davis.
Miss w. Gertrude Brown, Min
neapolis, because of her broad con-
facts with the other group is
called upon repeatedly to support
some party or candidate but true
to her good common sense she
eschews giving endorsements. We
can recall only one time that she
unwittingly took sides and that
was several years ago when the
Herald which 1 edited attacked the
Negro record of Arthur Nelson,
present G. o. P. candidate for lieu
tenant governor. Miss Brown at
a Phyllis Auxiliary meeting an
nounced to the women gathered
there that "Mrs. Paige (Mabeth
Hurd Paige) said Nelson was all
right" Unfortunately for the oc-
casion your correspondent was in
the hall and we got to our feet
and roundly denounced Nelson and
any suggestion that he was all
right. That's the last time we
have heard of Miss Brown talking
politics in public. Her influence is
now quietly used to fight candi-
dates who are unfriendly to the
proup.

Women Leaders
In Minnesota
State Politics
By Cecil E. Newman

Negro women in Minnesota poll
tics have not gained unusual
prominence. Only two colored
women hold purely political jobs.
One is employed in the Secretary
of States office, the other is
deputy in the Ramsey county
sheriff's office. However, ofttimes
women politicians have been far
more astute than the male men,
bers of the group.
A general failure of the leading
women to work together; COM
plete failure to practice real Or
ganization by block, precinct and
ward has made most of Negro
women's political efforts purely
"paper efforts" In Republican
ranks the leaders have been Mrs.
Lola Edwards of st. Paul who has
served on both the county and
state central committees. AS far
as we have been able to ascertain
her prominence has come not from
the support of any organization,
but rather from her personal &C
tivity and the patronage of S. Ed.
Hall. No other St. Paul woman,
with the exception of Mrs. Mary
Mcfarland, has been very active in
G. o. P. circles.
Perhaps the best known Negro
woman in politics in the state is
Mrs. Rebeque Force of Mime
apolis, long a G. o. P. stalwart and
an able vote-getter. Her political
industry Of long years has not yet
been rewarded by the Republican
powers that be. All she has reaped
has been a job during campaign
times; afterwards nothing for her
self or the members of her group.
Another Republican faithful is
Mrs. Katherine L. Smith. For
years she has been active in regu-
lar Republican circles and is a
member of the potent Hennepin
County Republican Women's Club.
Not as active as formerly, never
theless she is consulted daily by
political hopefuls who want her
advice and support.
Closely allied with Mrs. Smith is
Mrs. Elizabeth Van Hook, who
several years ago exhibited signs
of becoming another Mrs. S. Joe
Brown, but whose activity and
sphere of influence has waned
somewhat. Vice president of the
Hennepin County Political League
and member with Mrs. Smith of
the Hennepin County Republican
Women's Clubs executive board,
Mrs. Van Hooks chief contribution
to racial political activity during
the recent campaigns has been tea
to which candidates are invited.
Of the younger women Mrs.

COOKING

Cooking next to eating is the
worlds Oldest art and the hobby
most widely adopted by girls and
women, probably because they long
ago learned the short cut to a man Is
heart is through his stomach. But
even we'll prepared food cannot fetch
the gourmand's appetite If immacu-
late service, etiquette and atmos-
phere are absent.
While cooking appears to be a
necessity the little "niceties" so at
tractively served are the result %
hobby experimenting with
every conceivable vegetable and ami
NAL substance-and few minerals
The few men who ride the hobby of
cooking do justice to the art
The last fifty years have brought
hundreds of changes in the style of
cooking. New appliances are avail
able for making cooking easier,
quicker and more interesting.
1t is said that there are more food
connoisseurs on the Delmarva Pc
ninsula than in any other part of the
country. Perhaps, this can be at
tributed to several natural advan-
tages. The peculiar geographic al
situation of the peninsula, lying as
it does between two great bodies Of
salt water giving a salty atmos-
phere; the iodine and mineral i'm
pregnated soil producing fine vege=
tables; the prevalence of fresh sea-
food and live poultry and last but not
least, the pride of those who like to
cook. Here most of the natives live
to eat rather than eat to live.
There are so many delicacies avail
able that each section has its own
special dish which just doesn't tast
the same anywhere else, and this is
especially true during the Christmas
season when family reunions bring
to the board the favorite down
home" recipes.
The joy of eating is equaled only
by the joy of cooking and the re-
wards that come from riding a
pleasant hobby.

SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

Surrender yourself to the Spirit of
Christmas Let its Joy thrill you
let its peace steal softly across your
heart! Open your ears to the magic
of its message-open your eyes to the
miracles 1t accomplishes
Read again Dickens Christmas
Carol, the best known and most in
spring of all the Christmas stories.
And don't feel ashamed, IL at the
end, as Tiny Tim whispers, "God
bless us, every one," you find your
own eyes wet with tears.
Open the Book of Books, and let
Luke tell you about that first Christ
mas-of the long journey to Bethle-
hem, of the birth in the humble man
ger, of the shepherds keeping watch
over their flocks. Listen to the heav-
emily music that was heard upon the
hills, to the thrilling words Of the
angel, Behold, bring you good It'd
ings of great JOY, which shall be to
all people. For unto you is born this
day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord" Bow your
head and give thanks for the Prince
of Peace who came, saying with the
angels, GLORY to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward
men,"
Let Matthew tell you Of the coming
Of the Wise Men from the East, with
their gifts Of gold, frankincense, and
myrrh, which they presented to the
Christ Child.
Then, with the Spirit Of Christmas
in your heart, go forth and help make
Christmas a brighter and happier
day for rs!-Katherine Edelman

MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

The first meaning of Christmas is
that of generosity, inspired by the
great gift of God to mankind. The
selfish sway Of the world is broken
at least for time, and the Christ
spirit is born in our hearts. Some
times the exchange Of presents is
carried too far and becomes burden
instead of pleasure; but anything
that makes the world unselfish is
beautiful and good.

CHRISTMAS

"Peace on Earth and Good VIII
Toward Men," This message, which
heralded the birth of the Christ
child, more than 1900 years ago, has
lost none of its potency with the pas
sing of time.
The Christmas season awakens
within us. the realization that what
ever our personal animoGities or pet
ty quarrels, there is this sublime &C.
casion devoted to peace and good
will among us.
1t brings to us the consciousness
that life holds something more than
the selfish persuit of our own hap
piness, the thought of others.
Christmas typifies the essence o.
unselfishness, kindness, love, finding
its most common expression in gift
giving; which is in reality desire to
bring happiness to some other per-
son.
When the influence of Christmas
Is so effective that its spirit will
guide the affairs of every day, the
Utopian age, of which mankind long
has dreamed, will have arrived.
In the observance of Christmas 1t
is our hope that all may enjoy a full
measure of the happiness that this
glad season typifies.
Our wish is Merry Christmas

TUBERCULOSIS NO INSPECTOR
OF PERSONS

tuberculosis is no respector Of
people, Doctor Samuel Wolman, Pres
ident of the Maryland Tuberculosis
Association, said while discussing the
annual sale of Christmas Seals and
the disease.
Tuberculosis has no preferences
and attacks rich and poor, strong and
weak alike" Doctor Wolman said.
'Of course the rich and the strong
are more ably equipped to fight the
disease, but they are nevertheless
susceptible to tuberculosis infections
as are the rest. The only way to
safeguard ourselves and communi-
ties against this disease is to wipe it
out. This can be done by the tu-
berculosis associations who are now
conducting their annual sale Of
Christmas Seals to raise funds for
this purpose.
No disease has robbed the world of
genius any more than has tubercu-
losis. 1t has attacked, If not killed,
men and women who have been not
ed in all walks of life. Such names
as Shelly, Keats, Stevenson, Emerson,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and
Irving in the field Of literature; John
Locke and Spinoza in philosophy;
Andrew Jackson and Thomas Benton
in Government; and generals such as
Grant and Napoleon Bonaparte.
Others were Christy Mathewson,
Hugh Jennings, Cecil Rhodes, Roger
Babson, and Jay Gould. The list
could go ON indefinitely listing people
whose names have become household
words.
Reports concerning the progress
of the Christmas Seal Sale In the var
ious counties of the state will be due
next week. No definite financial re-
ports have been received yet but it is
hoped that the enthusiasm and opti-
mism of the county chairmen will be
reflected in the SALE, Doctor Wolman
concluded.
People making their returns to the
various chairmen of the Seal Sale are
requested not to rub out or erase
their names from the return enve-
lopes. If this is done there is no
way Of finding out who made the
contribution and they will not receive
credit for their helpfulness.

why didn't Beverly tend to things

AS he walked down the crowded

from the balcony. An orchestra
was up there playing Christmas
