as these arise: Do you use -four or

like frying pan or deep kettle MS

chicken do you prefer? Should it be

CHILDREN IN COURT

an ever increasing number Of chill
dren being brought into court Juv-
emile authorities IN many districts
are becoming alarmed over what the
future holds sor such youngsters.
One Of the principle reasons for
a fifteen billion dollar a year crime
bill is that many parents do not
realize that they themselves are
developing disobedience and dishon
esty in their children. One Of the
most common methods whereby par
ents lay the foundation for dishon
est youth is BY lying 70 others in his
presence. Parents should always re-

The New champion

The New Champion
American white people won tre-
| mendous victory themselves on Tues.
day night when Joe Louis was crown.
ed heavyweight champion of the
world. For many years it had been
said that no Negro would ever again
be champion. Many Negroes believed
this, and practically all were skep-
tical about it right up to the knock
out punch IN the eighth round. When
Joe was crowned, then Of course the
skeptics folded their tents and sr
lefty marched away, but not without
| much JOY in their hearts. For in
spite OF their belief to the contrary,
nearly everybody was hoping that
this real test Of the white mans
sense Of fair play would be met
squarely, and as real man should
meet it. Well, that happened, SO we
all feel much better about the whole
thing. We feel much better toward

SENATOR BULKLEY SUPPORTS
FEDERAL ANTI-LYNCHING BILL

WASHINGTON Senator Robert
j. Bulkley, senior Senator from
Ohio, again has stated his interest
in the passage Of anti-lyncling legis-
lation ct the present special session
Of Congress.
Senator Bulkley's statement is in
reply to 8 letter by Jesse G. Dickin-
son, Columbus, Ohio, chairman Of the
legislative committee of the Ohio
State National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
Dickinson wrote November q, "urg-
ing your most ardent support and
assistande in effecting passage Of
the anti-lynching bill at this special
session.
Senator Bulkley wrote Dickinson:
My stand on this proposal is we'll
known for I have been a consistent
supporter Of anti-lynching legisIa-
ton. 1t is my earnest belief that
the American people want something
done that will prevent lynchings and

before the Senate, if passed, will do
much TO end menace that is ell-
tirely repugnant to the Anne can
tradition Of law and order.
I-ynching is inhumanly crue- nd
barbarous. The victim is seized
without legal warrant, accused, often
tortured, and slaughtered viii * j
crazed mob that may include many
children gapes at the spectacle. There
is no trial and the victim, sometimes
IN extreme terror as savage torture
Is applied, may admit crime he did
not commit.
Every lynching is a blow at the
good name Of American justice. They
must be prevented and the federal
government can assist by the pas
sage Of effective legislation.
7 shall continue my efforts to OBJ
tain passage of anti-lynehing legis-
iation as soon as possible and I hope
It can be accomplished at this special
session.

NEGROES SHOULD BUY CHRISTMAS
TUBERCULOSIS SEALS

COLUMBUS - Colored people in
Ohio have every reason in the world
to support the sale iof Christmas
tuberculosis Seals now being held
throughout the state, according to
Dr.. Charles A. Doan, secretary Of
the Ohio Public Health Association,
which is i'll general charge Of the
Seal sale IN Ohio.
While tuberculosis is seventh in
Importance as the cause of death
among white people, said DR.. Doan,
it is second in Importance as
cause Of death among colored people,
and the mortality rate among Me-
groes today Is just where the NOR
tality rate among white people was
25 years ago. In the last FIVE years
there has been a growing disparity
between the tuberculosis death rate
among white people and the tubercu-
losis death rate among colored resi-
dents.
Taking the Northern states as .
whole mortality from tuberculosis
among Negroes is five times as great
as it is among whites, and in some
Of the larger cities, where Negroes
live III eongested districts, it is even
six or seven times as great. In the
Northern states the number Of Ne
groes who die from tuberculosis IS
placed Ill 232 per 100000 inhabi-
tants. compared with "A per l0O,--
900 white inhabitants.
According to the Ohio division OF

answer your call and your chal-
lengc."
He declared that the Seventh
Congressional District Of Ohio is not
only osc Of the greatest congress
sional districts In the state but also
one of the greatest of the nation.
'sFor generations it has been rep
resented in Congress by men of
stature, Of broad vision, Of character
and ability, of influence and posi-
ton. They have been strong men
representing strong people.
Here in this district can be
found all of the elements that have
made our country great nation and
our citizens great people. Here
our land, the most fertile in the
Middle West, makes US a great ag-
ricultural district. Here industry
has found the combination of skill
and intelligence in our people that
make the products OF our factories
known throughout the world. In
representing the Seventh District one
must be the spokesman of agricul-
ture, of labor, of the little store
keeper and the small business man,
and Of large factories and great in
dustries."

Afro-Cuban Dancers
Thrill First Lady

NEW YORK CITY (ANP)--An
audience of more than 800 notables,
including Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt,
watched two-hour program Mon
day in the Rainbow Room, Rookie
feller Center and applauded heartily
as nine Afro-Cuban dancers stole
the show with native, ritualistic
dance that is banned in Cuba.
The Cubans, Negro descendants of
slaves brought by Spaniards to Cuba,
presented two Nyanligo tribal
dances, which, because of the fervor
and the general mass hysteria they
excite among both participants and
spectators, are banned by the Cuban
Government. Their appearance on
the program was made possible by
President r. Laredo Bru of Cuba,
who permitted selection of the dan
GERS from interior settlements, gave
them back their confiscated devil
drums" then sent them to New York,
guarded by Special Commissioner
Henry r. Yskuierdo, who was to see
that no attempt was made to popu-
larize the strange dances with
American audiences.
The Star performers, who speak
only Spanish and have kept their
native dances alive by practicing in
secret since the Cuban ban, arrived
in New York just few hours before
their scheduled appearance. After
their final performance last Saturday
/ they returned to. Cuba The big
program was sponsored by Virginia
Day Nursery, and other nationalities
represented were Swedish, French,
Ukranian, Siamese. Yugoslaviaa,
japanese and East Indian, all Of
whom presented native dances. Hos
tess for the afternoon was famed
Ruth st. Denis. prominent teacher
of the American dance.
A featured number on the Cubans'
starred Miss Esther Cruz and Ari-
borio Sardinos, who depicted color
full dance during which Change, the
thunder god, is driven from a mans
body by woman, to music provided
by six natives, pounding on the devil
drums"

Columbus NAACP
Selects Lobbyist for
Ohio General Assembly

COLUMBUS, O. - The Columbus
Branch of the National Association
for the Advancement Of Colored
People has secured a lobbyist, it was
announced here today, to defend the
Negroes interest before the Ohio
General Assembly. Jesse G. Dickin--
son, president Of the Columbus
branch and chairman Of the Legisla-
tive Committee of the Ohio State
Conference of Branches, was chosen
and has registered with the Secre--
tary of State of Ohio for that pur-
pose.
The NAACP has provided, on pre-
yious occasions, t is much needed
service to the people of Columbus
and Ohio. The late Attorney Samuel
j. Walters was the last person who
served the association before this
law-making body. His services have
proven time and again the necessity
for lobbyist.
In addition to assisting the passage
of constructive bills it shall be the
duty of the lobbyist to check and
determine that there are no unfavor-
able riders or portions of bills, other
wise beneficial, which will prove de-
trimental to tha Negro.
Attorney B. F. Hughes of Colum-
bus, DR.. A. S. Burton of Newark,
Mrs. z. R Davis of Cincinnati and
one other member will serve with
Mr.. Dickinson on the legislative
committee.
