Exchange or the Postoffice at Augusta,

Praise them, and her world-weary
old eyes light up. They represent full
lifetime of honest, painstaking toll.
They have sustained her since the har-

Recently l heard retired merchant
ask successful author, who has more
money than he can ever spend, why he
didn't quit and 'enjoy" his money.
The scribe looked at the man with
puzzled expression:
"My word," he asked, "what would
| do if didn't writer"
The authors questioning reply is the
universal answer of those who do things
in the world. Work - the daily adven-
ture of the job is the solution to the
riddle of life, the expression Of the indi-
vidual against the pattern of all society,
the catalytic that stimulates the chang
ing chemistry of living, the reason for
our existence on the planet at all, the
justification of our ability to reproduce
our kind. 1t gives meaning to the mir
acle of love and birth, and softens the
shock of tragedy and death.
The real workers of the world are
those who glory in their work, what
ever it be, love it, take keen pride in
its dignity and merit. Life for them has
zest and focus and meaning. They
don't whine about opportunity or the
breaks. The Good God has given them
the same twenty-four hours He gave
their competitors.
They fear no competition but their
own. Whoever pays them, they work
for no man but themselves, fear no
critic but the insistent voice of their
own conscience. The job itself is the
boss and the challenge.
And should such man choose some
time to hitch-hike to the pearly gates,
he could thumb a ride in no surer
fashion than to lose interest and heart
in his work.

ONE of the best hammered men
in England is Sir Samuel Hoare,
First Lord of the Admiralty, but
when the occasion demands it
he can give thrust like a rapier,
controlled but annihilating.
This, in effect, is the reply
which he is said to have sent to
man who had written him a very
offensive letter:
"Sir:
!, being a gentleman, cannot
dictate an appropriate answer to
your letter to my secretary, who
is lady. But you, being neither,
will know what mean."

people asked her, "What is the
truth about the abdication?" In
reply she told this story, which
illustrates the state of mind in
London on those history-making
days: Shortly after the Kings
radio speech, she received
phone call from an important
official of his former household.
"Do come to see me-" he said.
"When | arrived" said Rebecca,
"all agog at the thought that at

inside story, he ushered me into
his private office, closed the
doors, drew up his chair and
whispered: Now tell me what

Mrs. Simpson. "
FENCING is a sport in which
youth must take a rear seat. Ac-
cording to George Santelli, the

IT was left to a former farm boy,
who started adult life as a coun-
try school teacher, to show our
big cities how to smash Americas
most powerful crime gang.
George E. Q. Johnson is the man
who landed the super-gangster,
al Capone, and many another
overlord of crime and racketeer-
ing, behind federal prison bars.
He was born and spent his boy
hood on an Iowa farm - and left
teaching to study law. With no
political experience, he was picked
by President Coolidge for the job
ofUnited States District Attorney
at Chicago.
The Capone gang was at the
height of its power, and state and
city enforcement agencies seemed
powerless to break him. But
Johnson decided he could con-
vict Capone Of income tax fraud.
Investigators were working for
months before the newspapers
had any inkling of what was 60
ing on - and by that time
Johnson had his evidence. Threats
Of death failed to daunt him.
Capone was convicted, and, be-
fore johnson finished, gangdom
in Chicago was smashed.
As reward Johnson was ap-
pointed to a federal judgeship,
from which he later resigned.
Now he is crusading against
crime by exposing its causes.
A terse, powerful article by
Judge johnson will appear in an
early issue. Look for

she married Scotchman; she has
lived many years in Burma.

to lay the scenes of her stories in

George Schloss, a steel worker, plas-

suffered like machine gun, clinching
red-hot rivets against a dolly bar.
Dizzy business!

man was a human squirrel.
He wiped away the sweat with the
back of grimy hand, and answered:

Well, what was it he liked? Money?
Naturally, most of us do; but he wasn't
thinking now about money.
He examined some rivets, circled
with white chalk. He spat disgustedly.
"Put in by four-Ausher that didn't
give DAMN" he said. Got to come
out"
Then, of course, l knew. The chap
liked to see that creation of steel take
proper form and shape and security
under his hands. He was builder.
His attitude reminded me of Paul
Benson, who in 1888 refused to plow
up any part of his cotton acreage. Paul
was good Democrat. He believed in
the program; so, curious, | interviewed
him about it.
''You won't understand" he said,
somewhat sullenly. "You've never been
a farmer and raised things. l manured
and plowed the ground, chopped the
grass, poisoned the weevil, prayed for
dry weather, dreamed of the crop at
night"
He pulled some of the fluffy staple
from fruited boil, and tested it be-
tween his fingers.
"Not for twice the money" he con-
cluded.

As we'll ask an artist to destroy a
cherished canvas, or a mother to drown
her baby, as to expect Paul Benson
to rape this field, quickened by his own
sweat and labor.

any line seem to have this love of work,
this pride Of creation. "Mammy" VIM

THE DIGEST
BY FLOYD j. CALVIN
A Dying Era

The era of race hate, prejudice
and prescription is dying in Amer
lea. The reason it Is dying, il
because the prime promters OF IN
tolerance, bigotry, and unfairness
on the one hand, and those who
would brithely ignore, gloss over.
on downright refuse to recognize
the rights of our darker minority
are dying themselves.
An instance Of this is the pass
ing of Former Senator Fess and
of Arthur Brisbane. Fess repre-
sented the latter school-the high
ly place and all powerful who
would dismiss the most deserving
colored man with a wave OF the
hand. Fess did just that, during
his brief career as Republican Ma
tional Chairman.
Brisbane represents or was the
chief promoter-of the former
school-the Big High and Mighty
Nordic (really a Ku Kluxer at
heart), who prostituted science
and learning to the base ends OF
brutalizing, covering, and other
wise humiliating and discouraging
twelve millions of his fellow citi-
zens.
But the Negro race in Ameriea
outlived slavery, and now 1t L

Lines From Nose to Mouth

Lines From Nose to Mouth
Many an otherwise beautiful
face is disfigured by those ugly
deep lines that run from the nose
to the mouth. To get rid Of these
lines try this method: Close the
mouth. then press the tongue
against the teeth and blow hard,
then draw in your breath quick
ly. Repeat this exercise for five
minutes daily until the lines grow
dim and finally disappear.

Negro Business Outlook

Negro Business Outlook
The outlook for Negro business
nj the New Year appears to be
good. From different authorities
&C. c. Spaulding, Harry H. Pace,
Major R.. r. Wright-we hear
prosperity is actually back. Mr..
Spaulding announced some weeks
ago that we have turned: the
corner; Mr.. PAGES insurance
company in Chicago paid a cash
bonus to employees; and Major
Wright publishes figures showing
that his bank in Philadelphia, on
June 80, 1888. had $466, ,283.34 in
resources, while on June 80, 1885,
the resources were s735,577.45.
His bank is also a City and State
depository.
Mr.. J. B. Blayton Of the Citi-
zens Trust Company Of Atlanta.
writing in the Bankers Magazine
recently. says that "The Negro
banks earning assets in proper
tions to deposits compare favor
ably with those of commercial
banking institutions in their 10
calities."
However, there is still much
work to be done in the field Of
small business among Negroes.
Much educational work has to be
done to get the Negro masses to
form a better appreciation Of the
meaning and value Of business;
and much training and experience
must be acquired before the Negro
can become generally successful
| in the small business field. For
instance, we simply do not under
stand the handling Of money. We
know neither the mechanics, phil
osophy nor the value Of money.
Broadly speaking, we don't know
how to employ a dollar, collect
its wages. and yet keep the dol
lar. Not knowing these funda-
mentals, we are still having all
kinds of trouble at the bottom Of
the ladder. We have a few shin
ing examples Of our ability to
overcome these petty handicaps
and climb the ladder Of success;
but if we are to have more sue
cessful businesses, and business
men, we have simply got to find
a way to help. the little man.
We are. getting help, however.

 She reviewed. briefly the work being done by the fourteen clubs with a total membership of almost seven hundred, in the Alaska Fed eration of Womens Clubs, pointing out the force they have been able to exert in their various commun- ities and in Alaska as a whole, through organized and united ef- fort. She also described some of the work being done by the local club through it's seven departments pointing cut that, combined, the departments have something of in- terest to offer every one.
 You must remember, however, she declared, that you can expect to take no more out of club work than you put into it. In the last analysis 1t is you who must decide beth what you can give to and what you can take from an organ zation such as the Juneau Wo- mans Club.
