double price for beer, by breaking

some cases, by deliberate refusal.

More than two hundred persons
gathered in the Phyllis Wheatley
gymnasium Tuesday night in a
protest meeting called by the Min

mittee. Equally as many white
people were present as were mem
bers of the colored group.
The Principal Address
The main address was given by
Rev. F. T. Kennedy of the Simpson
Methodist Church.
Pictures Conditions
An intensely interesting review
of conditions as he had found them
in his travels in the south, a vivid
picture of the environment of the
Scottsboro boys with tributes to
white men of that section who had
dared to act in their defense made
up the gripping story the Rev.
Kennedy told. Ending in the
solemn assertion that the Methodist
Church, member of the Scottsboro
Defense Committee, would give its
utmost in energy and influence in
behalf of these boys, and the
establishment of justice in America,
Other Speakers
After the main speaker, brief
talks that further emphasized the
spirit and intent of the meeting
were made by Senator S. A. Stock
well, Rabbi David Aronson, Alma
Foley, and several others.
KNCSOAuIAOAAS
Resolutions prepared by the
committee were adopted at the
meeting and. ordered sent to the
President of the United States, the
Congress, the Governor of Ala
bama, the Judge presiding at the
trial and to the Mayor and City
Council of Minneapolis, urging
similar action.

In response to appeals made by
Rev. Damon P. Young, cash con-

ever had in the same ring the same
night.
The Build Up
All of this may be recognized
for what it is, a clever resourceful
build up to enable the promoters to
cash in on the fight between Brad
dock and Louis when it comes off,
either this year or next. One thing
may be accepted as truth beyond
preadventure: Joe Louis is "tops"
in the sporting news of the world.
Rat-Tailed Maggot
About the middle Of the Eight
eenth century Reaumur, known also
for his thermometer, wrote about
the life histories of insects, and it
was he who named the Rat-tailed
| MaggOt. This insect is very inter-
esting, but it usually lives in foul
water such as about privies and
| the fluid in decaying carcasses. The
yellow and black adult resemble
honey bees. The long tail of the
larva lengthens and shortens like
a telescope, so that the tip may
reach the top Of the water, and the
larvae breathes air through 1t, while
feeding on decaying matter, under
the water. Pupation takes place
out Of the water in the larval skin

Audience OF White And COlOred
People Hold Big Protest
Meeting At Phyllis Wheatley
COMMENT
BY w. M. Smith

Five hundred people attended the
meeting of the League Against
War and Fascism in Minneapolis
Monday night. Reports of dele
gates from the recent national
gathering Of the association in
Cleveland, Ohio, was the business
of the hour.
At this convention, a mass meet
ing was held in the Cleveland Audi
torium at which $4,000 people were
present. A marvellous spectacle of
white men and black, yellow and
brown, of all religions and of none;
of farmers and artisans; of work.
ing men and the unemployed; all
moulded in their thinking by the
one idea of fighting against war
and the reactionary measures now
prevailing in Germany and Italy
and other parts of Europe.
Said one of the delegates: 81
have attended conventions and
mass gatherings all over the
United States from coast to
coast, but never in my experience
have seen anything like the inn
pressive silence that hung over the
great throng that met in Cleveland
as they listened to General Smed-
ley Butler and other speakers de-
velop the theme of protest against
war and Fascism. 1t was as if the
souls of all those peoples were knit
into one solid band of unity against
the horrors of war and the inhu-
mainly of Fascist measures"
At this meeting this writer was
given an opportunity to speak for
the Scottsboro Defense Committee
and was given a courteous recep-
ton and a most attentive hearing.
The chairman of the meeting, in
ringing tones, declared that Fas-
cism, as shown in the Scottsboro
case, was showing its vicious char
acteristics and unlawful methods
today in the south against a group
of helpless Negro boys; tomorrow
it may rear its ugly head against
the workmen of the north. There
is, he said, no safety anywhere for
any of us until its vicious propa-
ganda is stamped out completely.
The Scottsboro boys have the
sympathy and will receive the help
from all those arrayed against all
forms of injustice.
Resolutions prepared by the
Scottsboro Committee were read,
adopted, and many of those pres
ent signed a petition to the mayor
and city council urging similar ac-
ton.

Joe Louis, Negro Sensation,
Headlines Sport News OF Day

Joe Louis is still stops" in the
sporting news of the day. Much
that appears in print may not be
accepted without the proverbial
grain of salt. Everyone knows
there enters in the moth-worn
"build up" that startling state
ment of the latest developments,
affirmed today, vigorously denied
tomorrow, but it's interesting and
enjoyable-makes good reading,
sells the papers and strange to say,
never fails its primary object of
creating an excited interest that
turns itself into dollars in the next
battle.
Press Reports
Note these clippings from the
N. Y. Evening Journal: Joe Louis
will not fight James ]. Braddock
for the championship in 1886.
Julian Black made known the de-
cision of the Louis encourage last
Saturday. Suppose Louis did meet
and defeat Braddock- paper
continues,-Louis would have to
wait to meet fellows who would
get the chance only after tiresome
and meaningless eliminations.
Denial
Right on the heels of that comes
a statement from the Louis camp
denying it's truth, and declaring
"Louis will be glad to meet the
champion at any time arrangements
can be made for a fight"
BraddOck's Contribution
Then comes Braddock with his
bit as he says, 81 saw Louis fight
three of those punching bags he
knocked out. Pm not afraid of
what he's got-a good left, but his
right is not so hot-Baer, Levin
sky were scared stiff-Carnera just
a circus"

Getting the True Perspective
On Your Job

EDUCATORS and business men
of long experience have esti-
mated that it takes anywhere from
two to ten years for the high school
or college graduate to adjust him.
self to the business world. The more
you can shorten this period of adj
justment, the greater and quicker
will be your success.
Much of the difficulty of adjust
ment undoubtedly comes from. the
beginners inability to see in its true
perspective both his own job and
the business he is in. As result
he may soon become convinced that
the business is dull and without op-
portunities, and his own job mere
routine drudgery. Such an impress
sion becomes an almost unsurmount-
able obstacle to success.
Try to see beyond the routine of
your job to the essential part it
plays in the functioning of the bus
mess. At the same time, by spare
time reading and study of business
subjects, seek to acquire a true pic
ture of the part the business plays
IN the economic structure. Once you
have succeeded in this, your own
work viii acquire new interest
and the opportunities your business
offers viii become apparent.
No matter how great your intel
igence or your willingness to work,
interest in and enthusiasm for your
work are vital TO success. Such in
terest and enthusiasm must come
through knowledge and understand
ing. These come to few by instinct
or as a gift from heaven. They are
acquired through the extra study
and thinking . man is willing to
devote to his Job.

WITH the arrival of cooler days
w and nights that do not Offer
much encouragement for outdoor
activities, there is very noticeable
increase in interest by amateurs in
snapshots in the house at night.
Once you start this fascinating
hobby you will undoubtedly agree
that it is real pleasure and an ideal
way to occupy your time probably
during the long evenings of fall and
winter.
All Of US are familiar with the
ordinary type of snapshots but few
have made silhouette pictures. With
this type Of picture, even more than
with ordinary snaps, it is important
that the pictures tell their own story

detail.
The first essential of silhouette
pictures is perfectly fat back
ground, devoid of detail. And the
easiest way to obtain such a back
ground is to stretch bed sheet
across broad doorway between two
rooms. It's important that the sheet
be tackled up so that all creases and
wrinkles are eliminated.
To light up this background, a
strong light must be put in back of
