"BoRDER BRIEFS"

The General Conference Of the
Methodist Church was indeed an
epochal affair. DR.. A. P. Shaw, edi-
tor of the Southwestern Edition of
the Christian Advocate, was elected
bishop, to succeed Bishop M. w.
Clair. Border is preparing for the
greatest years program in it's his
tory. To it's Trustee Board have
been added three of Minneapolis
leading citizens-a realtor, an educa-
tor, and leading business man.
These represent the laymen of the
three greatest and most influential
Churches of our denomination in the
city. Working with them will be two
women and four men, who will rank
with the most progressive laymen
of the city. Border must grow, and
glow, and go, and we, the members
have pledged to make it so. Rev. D.
P. Young who has been attending
the sessions of the General Confer
ence of the Methodist Church in Co.
lumbus, Ohio, will resume his right
full place in the pulpit Sunday morn
ing, May Oath. He will enlarge upon
the theme: "Methodism and the King.
dom of God"
We are most grateful to the Rev.
Elder A. Gaynes Thompson for the
splendid spirit of Christian coopera-
ton that he displayed in delivering
the message Sunday morning. Using
several texts, Elder Thompson's
message was indeed an inspiration
to the members and friends who wor-
SHIPPED with us.
In the next edition of this paper
we will present news of the young
mems club, and the results of their
efforts in the North Side Y. M. C. A.
diamondball campaign which will
open next week.

RoDle's Gratitude
To Her Black Warriors

LONDON-(C)-The Italian plan
for dominating Ethiopia has as it's
main point segregation, according to
a noted journalist here. Complete
separation of the races is the rule
which Marshal Badoglio has been
asked to observe unflinchingly. No
Italian soldier, official or colonist
will be allowed to marry a native
woman. Ealian colonists will be es-
tablished in reserved territories, not
mixed with natives. Their settlement
must be separate from Ethiopian
towns and villages, according to the
journalist.

C.Mea On Trail OF

Apprehension Near

Well, it finally happened. A few
"Play Boys" of the near North Side
finally caught up with themselves,
fell down and went "Boom," and
came up with two or three Grand

What We Owe the Past

There are many among US who look
down upon the so-called primitive
peoples. In our school books, l be-
lieve, such folk are labeled "savages."
And doubtless there are many who
thank their stars that they live in
this advanced" age. However, it is
just possible that the only way we
fundamentally differ from the an
clients is in the vast crowds in which
we live.
Not long ago, Hooton, Professor of
Anthropology at Harvard, declared
that Man today was no more intelli-
gent than he was in the Stone Age.
But, it will be argued. at least we
have Science" today, and that is
our superiority over the past. Well,
let US survey some of the --latest" dis
coveries.
Our dictionaries refer to the Uni
corn as a mythical animal. Nineteen
centuries ago, Pliny wrote that such
animals existed, that, in fact, they
could be made by the transportation
of horn buds. Now DIR. Dove of the
University of Maine, has just eds
covered" that horns can be trans
planted and unicorns can be made and
that they make the best herd lead
ers.
In Africa and the South Seas it was
the custom long ago to save, preserve
and powder the placenta. Then later,
if the child showed any weakness, it
was administered. The "latest" discov-
cry in medical science shows That pla-
centa feeding will prevent some of
the most dangerous childhood dis
eases.
Facial surgery is supposed by many
to be one of the most important and
recent scientific advances. In "New
Faces, New Features" you will read
that the ancients were as good at
facial repair as we. In ancient India
they understood how to graft flesh
from the forearm upon facial wounds,
how to make new noses and perform
successful skull operations.
Blood TRANSMISSION is another re-dis-
covery. All primitive peoples under
stood the value of fresh blood. They
constantly drank the blood of animals
1--WE call it silver extract'), and often
of one another. Sometimes the idea
degenerates into Cannibalism, invari-
ably It was incorporated into their
religions. The sacrament" Of Christ
ian Churches today rests upon this
same principle.
The "Weaker" Sex
It is even now the custom of many
people to consider woman the infer
Tor of Man. Women are incapable Of
becoming great creators of art,
science or industry because their
function of creation is collaborating.
This is the theory but how about
facts.
Will Durant in his magnificent first
volume of the "Story Of Civilization"
shows that it was woman who first
planted food, originating agriculture;
that she invented weaving which is
the basis of the textile industry; that
her pots, and the figures she painted
upon them, was the beginning of
sculpture, painting, and letters. She
started science by studying the eff
feet Of the weather upon her crops.
She was the parent first recognized
and probably ruled her family first.
Medicine and surgery? They began
with the midwife.

Birth Control Ancient

Clergymen, doctors and politicians
frequently grow epileptic about birth
control This "new" idea, they say,
will destroy society and is one of
the "evil" results of the new "emanci-
patton" of Woman.
Birth Control is as old as society.
Many Amerindian women refused to
bear more than three children; Bra
lillian native women would not bear
children till thirty; African women
today refuse relationship with their
husbands till after the nursing period;
1t Is stretched to four years and
more. So is there anything really
new under the sun?

Under Secretary Morgenthau's

payers, Treasury officials revealed

For the first time since the in
come tax Law became effective in
the Wilson administration, investi-
cations are being made of incomes
of less than $4,000 and special
assessments as low as one cent are
being imposed, officials said.

workers something to do, they have
been instructed by revenue collec-

mentS where possible.
Check Large Incomes
Regular revenue auditors we're
ordered to speed up their investiga-
tionS into income tax returns of
wealthy individuals and big corpo-
rationS in order to collect any
extra taxes that might be assessed.
Thousands of taxpayers have
been assessed extra taxes on their
1885 incomes as a result of the
campaign. The collectors have
notified them that certain exemp-
tionS allowed under the law have
been disallowed by the discretion
ary authority the collectors have
been given under recently enacted
laws.
The collectors notify the IN
