ion, would return Angelo Herr
don to the tender mercies Of the
state of Georgia.
The liberal sentiment of the
nation made the Negro a eitI
zen and conferred upon him the
rights and privileges of citizen
ship, and made these rights ir-
revocable by the states. The re-
dictionaries have constantly com
batted the spirit and purpose
of the 14th and 18th amend
ments. The doctrine of states
rights since the days of John
G. Calhoun, has been chiefly
concerned with preventing the
Negro from enjoying the full
status of an American citizen.
President Roosevelts propo-
sal to liberalize the supreme
court would certainly tend 10
safeguard the rights of the Ne
gro under the law. Every can
did and fair minded citizen
knows fully well that the rights
and privileges Of the Negro
would be better preserved by
five liberal judges than by four
reactionaries who joined in the
dissenting opinion in the Hern-
don caseA
Justice McReynolds in an ex
ira judicial statement said he
believed in equal justice for all
men, even including the darby
but his reactionary attitude and
states rights obsession, illustra-
ted by his vote in the Herndon
case makes this statement ra-
ther usconvincing.
Roosevelt's proposal to add
six new members to the su-
preme court may appear rather
daring to the timid conserva-
tive mind, but the practical
statement never imputes ideal
istic perfection to FRAN human
nature. Judges are men, subJest
to like infirmities as other men.
Donning the judicial ermine
does not change a judges ma
ture: As long as judges are ap
pointed by the president and
confirmed by the senate, their
attitude on political and eco
nomic questions will Influence
their decisions. Then why not
have a bench imbued with a ba-
sic political and economic ply
osophy which the nation has ap
provedH
In addition to this broad
principle the Negro has his spe-
eial reason for supporting Roose
velt's proposal. 1t squints in
the direction of liberal federal
control against the doctrine OF
states rights which has been
the rock upon which the Ne
pro's political hopes have found
cred from the days Of Calhoun
until now.

Manners

Moment

SOME Of the men are complaining
that their girl friend steps out
OF character as soon as they step
into the country. They say that
the sweetest little dance partners in
the world suddenly turn into Amazons
when faced with a wooded road and
go cantering out At q pace that leaves
them the boy friends) completely
winded.
And they (the boy friends) don't
like it.
Don't Ask us why. It's one of those
masculine mysteries. Just because a
girl hasn't had room enough in her
apartment to chin herself doesn't mean
That she can't. But apparently men
dont figure that way at least
not about girls. They seem to work
on the supposition that no girl can
walk a step, or lift a paper weight or
whistle tune until she has shown
them she can. It's Just crazy, But
still there it is.
More than likely it's all because
the men don't like TO be outdone in
things they consider their own do
main. And since taking = brisk bit
OF exercise in the country seems to
be part OF their domain, We suggest
that the girls vt the men set the pace.

BY ANGELO PATRI.

first insuring their care and safety

to friendly talk. regular meals. com

Our cats and dogs learn to love

and heartless. unworthy of people
with souls, to close the house and leave
these trusting family pets helpless, at
the mercy of storm and hunger and
Ill treatment.
When the pets cannot be taken
along. and this is easier than some
folk think, arrange for their care.
There is usually some friend or rela-
tive who will undertake the care of
the pets until you return. Failing
that. there is always a humanitarian
society 10 attend to them. There is
no excuse for the heartless cruelty of
abandonment.

hangs in the Walkers Chapel Metho-
dist Church in nearby Virginia,
mile from historic Chain Bridge, and
is attracting considerable attention,
not only in local art circles, but other
fields as we'll The Methodist Pro-
testant Recorder of Baltimore. the
Christian Sun of Richmond, and the
Christian Advocate of Greensboro,
N. c., have secured permission from
the artist to reproduce the painting
on the cover sheet of their respective
publications.
In spite of the fact that the artist
turns out an amazing amount of Gre
ative work, she still finds time for
her family, church. clubs and other
outside activities, and she is never
too busy to do neighborlv act.
Mrs. White also enjoys cultivating
flowers. and just now she is direct
ing the work on rock garden She
loves to can vegetables, which she
grows on her own place.
A SKED as to how she accomplishes
so much in so many different
fields. and still keeps all in their
proper proportion, she thought mo-
ment, and then replied. L think it
all comes from keeping an open
mind, by being sensitive to impress
sions, and needing the call Of in
spiration. "One of the finest COM
pliments I ever had paid NE she
continued, was when a friend told
me I seemed to have the power to
discriminate between the important
and the unimportant." The artist ex-
planned that she has no set schedule,
but she does have a fixed objec-
tive. To illustrate her point she
compared herself to the master of
a sailing vessel, who, in order to
reach his goal, has to take advantage
Of the shifting winds and currents
OF everyday living. Mrs. White feels
that the sympathy and understand
ing OF her husband, John Kearnes
Whites. for her art. has helped her
over the rough places and made the
sailing smoother. 1t was largely
through her husbands cooperation.

family that the painting of the Christ

Parents do pamper their sons and pre-

they do this. nobody knows, since girls

NEVERTHELESS, the world over,

Men pat the father on the back and
the mother swells out her chest with
pride and beams with complacency
for having done something that she
considers wonderful. Whereas, when
a girl is born nobody cooks even a
veal chop in her honor The father
gets the handshake Of sympathy from
his fellows and the mother feels hum
bic and apologetic.
And it goes along that way. Little
girls are made to help with the house
work, while little boys are excused
from doing any chores. When they
