tomorrow and simply must be there"
Shut up!" the pilot snapped.
We're virtually snowbound. It'll be
48 hours before a rescue party can
get here. Well have to make the best
of it. He added: If anybody should
be gotten out it's Mrs. Jones. Her con-
dition is serious"
We'll make a stretcher," Stuart
Bland said. Two of us can start
down the mountain and meet the
rescue party"
Paul Bonney protested. He didn't
see the sense to it. They didn't know
the way. Mrs. Jones would die any,
way. What was the use?
Joan shuddered and closed her eyes.
When she opened them again
Stuart and the pilot were making a
stretcher. An hour later they started
down the mountain, bearing the
stretcher between them with Mrs. Jones
lying on it, unconscious, more than
half dead.
The co-pilot built a fire. They
huddled about it. Time passed. No
body said much. Paul Bonney fretted
Night came. The fire was built up
An hour later they heard a plane. 1t
circled overhead. A bundle was para
chuted down containing food and
blankets and a note OF encourage
ment.
Dawn came. Cold foreboding. The
morning passed and the afternoon,
and darkness fell again No more
planes appeared There was no sign
Of rescue party. Joan slept, reused,
slept again. When she woke for the
second time it was light A figure
was struggling up the slope. Her
heart leaped. It was Stuart Bland.
He smiled cheerfully and told them
that the rescue party wou<, be there
in half hour. Mrs Jones had been
taken to a hospital She would
probably live.

from people? After all, it must be
dreadful having folks besieging you
al the time
"Besieging! That's hot one!"
Joan glanced sidewise at young Mr.
Bland. He was GRIM g. He wasn't,
she decided abruptl, as nice as she
had at first thought
At Albuquerque Paul Bonney and
every one else got out to stretch their
legs. Joan took advantage of the
opportunity to do something she
considered daring. She accosted the
movie idol as he was getting back
into the ship.
Please don't think me forward
Would you autograph my book?"
"Of course" Mr.. Bonny smiled
3ndulgently, seized her pencil and
ecrawled his name with more flourish
than good penmanship.
Starry-eyed, Joan thanked him and
turned to find herself face to face
with Stuart Bland Mr.. Bland was
wearing his customary grin.
1T sure hit you hard" he observed,
and shook his head sadly.
Joan lifted bar chin de1iantly
you're jealous" she said.
FOG enveloped the low-fying plane
before they were in sight of the
Sierra Nevadas Some of the pas
eengers became nervous. One old lady
began telling stories of plane crashes
she had read about Her lurid tales
didn't help ease the tension. Stuart
Bland laughed when she was through
and his laughter sounded good, re-
assuring.
Joan glanced toward Paul Bonney.
The movie hero was sitting with his
face glued to the window, pale, tight
Tipped
Hes thinking what a permanent
injury would do to his career" Joan
thought. He has more to lose than
most Of u.s." And it was just then
that they crashed.
Joan had no recollection of the,
many things that happened She re-
turned to full consciousness, keenly
aware Of pain in her side, slowly
rrasping the fact that she was half
In and half out of one of the windows,
that there was vast silence, that it
was cold and that snow was every
where. Then suddenly, as II at
signal, sound crashed against her
ears.
A man yelled. There was a crack
ling as of flames. Women screamed.
Some one groaned. Then voices and
cries. and cracklings intermingled.
Somebody grasped Joan under the
erms. She was pulled free, carried
some distance away and set down.

the Southern United States have
much in common III. They both have
a bi-racial civilization, with it's diff
fering standards of living for the
different races and the inevitable fea
lest the biological inheritance of the
European stock be impaired
South Africa, like America, has
the problem Of racial intermixture.
In the United States mulattoes are
classed with Negroes, and the ten
deney Of succeeding generations is
towards brown race. In South
Africa the colored people, or half
castles, are a people apart from eth
er European or Natives. They rank
with ire whites politically and eco
nomcally but not socially. AS DR..
G. {. Loram puts it, In the United
States a man is either white or not
white; in South Africa he is either

world opinion is having increasing
weight in race relations, and in the
moulding of that opinion liberals of
South Africa and of the South are
making a decisive contribution :.
The so-called Color-Bar Bill, carry
ing out form of economic segrega-
ton, was enacted in response to this
demand, and the Parliamentary Com
mittee Report advocated the repeal
OF the Cape Native Franchise But
liberal South Africans see the fallacy
and the injustice of these measures
and are outspoken againt them. Like
the Jim Crow laws of the South,
so unjust in their application and SO
| Objectionable to Negroes, these mea-
sures arc a phase in the development

the ruling group to express their
viewpoint in law, and obviously too
much is expected Of the law. When
law ceases to be just, it breaks down,
and with it falls precious thing in
/ civilization. Society has yet to de
wise better ways of dealing with such
/ problems, and one finds sober inquiry
| toward this end going on in the uni-
! versities of South Africa as it is in
the colleges of the South. One sees
for example, increasing attention to
Race Relations is doing work OF
Native education, and the Institute of
great significance. This Institute is
a parallel to the Commission on Inter
racial Co-operation, which has been
such constructive force in the
South since its organization in At
lanta in 1919. These organizations
represent an effort to study and un
derstand the social, political, and eco

no counterpart to the disgraceful out

Roxborough and Black

The plotting Of Joe Louis to the
heavyweight throne by colored
board Of strategy, and the earning Of
nearly million dollars in the mean
time, all within three years, is Ger
tainly an unusual phenomenon on
the American scene.
Colored people themselves should
stop and study this enormous feat,
this prodigious accomplishment by
men of their own kith and kin, who
were born under and must survive
under the same general rules Of liy-
ing as the least among US.
Heretofore, whenever a colored
person of unusual personal endow-
ments was discovered by white CO.
operating with whites. But in this
case, Joe was actually discovered by
John Roxborough, promoter of a
number of years standing In Detroit,
who sort of tucked up on Joe, the
Ford factory worker. Bringing IN
Julian Black as co-manager, and
getting Jack Blackburn as trainer,
theset men pulled everlastingly to-
gether, in thick and thin times lre-
call the trying Schmeling aftermathl !,
until the main objective, the heavy
weight crown, was won.
Negroes don't have much aback-
ground, much tradition, for coopera-
tive effort. Even IN our success1ui
family life, II is not SO much cooper
alton that WINS, but the DOMINATION
of an unusually strong personality.
