American Boy Introduces
A New Football Game

In the early fall issues of THE
AMERICAN BOY there'll be present
ed the story of new game-six-man
football-fast as professional football,
wide open as basketball, thrilling as
hockey!
The game came to life through the
need of small schools for some sub
stitute for 11-man football, which was
too expensive. Stephen Epler, a Ne
braska graduate student in athletics,
developed the game of six-man foot
ball to meet this need. In six-man
football anybody can score, the posi-
bility of injury from mass plays is
nlinimized, and the game is open
enough for spectators to follow every
exciting development.
The new game is a hit. New
schools are taking it up every day. In
coming issues THE AMERICAN BOY
tells the world about this practical
new game. In addition, it presents
The American Boy Official Handbook,
which can be obtained from the mag
azine at 20 cents a copy, or Is cents
when bought in bulk.

THE NEGRO, THE STAGE

THE NEGRO, THE STAGE
Editor:
No other race or nationality
has given so much dramatic tech
nique and dignity to the stage as
have Negroes. Aldrich, Gilpin,
William, and Walker, were all
great actors in their day. But
their day and kind of acting is no
more. The twentieth century actor
or actress must put into practice
a different technique and philoso-
ply. For the most part the actor
of yesterday who were Negroes
played in comical scenes or plays
that had a racial characteristic to
them.
But since this time there has
been complete revolution in the
stage. Paul Robson, who is now
on his way to Russia, expressed his
intention to appear in StevedOre.
Langston Hughes, MulattO, enjoyed
a successful run in New York.
Tobacco Road, play depicting the
horrible conditions of the poor
Southern Whites, is a play of the
twentieth century.
In our city, the assembly players
of the Minneapolis theater union
presented such plays as They Shall
Not Die, Until the Day l Die, Bury
the Dead, The Peoples Enemy and
He.
Archie James, Clarence Hughes,
and Herbert Howell, were members
of the theatre union; had important
parts in these plays. They didn't
appear as servants as many
Negroes do in the old type of plays.
Stevedore, and the other plays
here mentioned fall into the gen.
eral classification of propaganda
plays. They depict class struggle
rather than racial inferiority or
race conflict. Propaganda plays
express the idea that black and
white people must join hands to
better their economic conditions.
If young Negroes are planning
stage career, and the writer knows
no better way to get ahead, he
should give serious attention to
these Twentieth Century plays.
The old gardener feels that this is
where the success of the young
actor lies.
Herbert Howell.

AS Jimmy Braddocks said the radio after
the grand fight Louis brought boxing back in this mans
country.
His willingness to fight for his money. His unorthodox
method of picking the best in his division to minge
with in the ring has been tonic for game which lost its
swing after Iunney hung up his gloves.

Ry THE LITTLE ENGINEER

WE'RE going to have the swell
w est motoring season in history.
New roads. Old ones fixed up. New
places to go. New things to see.
And new cars!
Those new automobiles are the
best yet-the smoothest running
the best looking, the most COM
Portable, the easiest to drive the
safest.> BUT-you've got to take
better care of the new automobile
than you did Of the family car OF
a couple or five years.
The new cars are the last word
in engineering design and perform
ance but to create these qualities
the engineers have given them
higher engine speeds, higher COM
pressions, closer clearances, new
type gears and bearings and great
er horsepower. These things mean
greater friction and greater heat
and they have brought new lubri-
cation problems which spell GRIEF
and expense if you don't handle
them properly. They can be
summed up in three words-gaso-
line, oil, grease.
In the new engines oil should
reach the fast moving parts along
with the fuel. Some of the great
oil companies have acted on this
necessity and have given us lubri-
Gated gasoline which contains light
oil and gum solvent to lubricate
and clean pistons and upper cylin-
ders the instant the engine Is
started. These new fabricated fuels
also give old cars better perform
ance than the old fashioned gaso-
lines.
There Is no economy In using
cheap oil in your new car. In a
whole season 1t may save you the
price of few movie tickets and
cost you many dollars In wear and
repairs. Buy only the best adver-
tised motor oils, preferably those
made from Pennsylvania crude.
Your motor win thank you and re-
ward you.
Grease is important especially in
the new cars having hypoid gears
which create extreme pressures.
There are new special lubricants
for these. They should be used ex'
clusively in hypoid gears and never
mixed with other lubricants. Insist
on this to avoid costly breakdowns,
Happy summer to you!

CHILDREN IN
COURT

With an ever increasing number
of children being brought into
court, juvenile authorities in many
districts are becoming alarmed over
what the future holds for such
youngsters.
One of the principal reasons for
a fifteen billion dollar a year crime
bill is that many parents do not
realize that they themselves are
developing disobedience and dis
honesty in their children. One of
the most common methods whereby
parents lay the foundation for a
dishonest youth is by lying to
others in his presence. Parents
should always remember that son
or daughter will not remain honest
if they themselves are untruthful.

Institutions visited General
Parkview Veterans and Franklin
Hospitals.
Home visits-Four.
From the Nurses Notebook
We found two of our men in
wheelchairs on the lawn at Park
view last Monday. Mr.. Andrew
Horton, who had not been feeling
so well the past week, had wheeled
his chair in a shady spot, lighted
his pipe and prepared to listen in
on the ball game. The patients on
the lawn are able to hear the radio
programs while summing them
selves, thanks to a thoughtful
neighbor. This neighbor moves his
radio to his front porch which is
across from Parkview lawn and
tunes in for the benefit of the pa
tients. Since the rooms are not all
equipped with radios out there,
the kindness of the neighbor is
truly appreciated.
Mr.. John McMoore showed US
how skillful he has become in
manipulating his wheel chair. We
were glad to note that he seemed
stronger since our first visit. We
had visited his home that morning
and found his wife planning to
take him some green peas cooked
with salt pork. This is his favor
tie dish. The other men want some
"greens." Institutional diets may
be ever so beneficial but after
months and months of eating
proper vitamins, it turns out to be
very uninteresting business. We
know the greens will be taken to
the men.
Mr.. Phillip Humphrey is able to
walk about so well that he heads
the list of our convalescents. Mrs.
Tavia Beasley, Sally Bailey, and
Fannie Banks remain on the seri-
ously ill list.
At Veterans, Mr.. Roscoe Mays is
resting as comfortably as possible.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-06-25

Due to his serious condition a male
nurse was on special duty with
him. Mr.. David Rodgers condi-
ton has not improved. Mr.. Homer
McCravens has improved since his
three weeks stay in the hospital.
He has been encouraged to join the
Art class there. His "hobby" of
drawing should be developed as it
shows possibilities.
We took some flowers to Mrs.
Mary Smith at Franklin Hospital,
for a friend. Mrs. Smith is en-
joying many useful gifts from her
friends.
General Hospital had no serious
ly i'll patients to report last Tues
day. New patients are Ray Dibrel,
Lorraine Lowry, James Faison,
Rhoda Pettiford, Robert Patterson,
and Robert Taylor.
No personal or sentimental OBJ
jections should be allowed to inter-
fere with sending a sick person to
a hospital if it is for the best
interest of the sick person and
others concerned.

that kept our country eyes turned c
Like the migratory spread of
Minneapolis this city's business is
moving ever onward and outward
and Negro business keeping step
with progress moves its important
center from 35th to 47th st.
If one may judge by the activity
of commerce upon this highway the
depression has passed on by. Color
full groups of its shifting populace
fill the street, it's theaters, its drug
stores, it's beauty parlors; crowd
it's street cars, window shop its

little colOred boys hawk "Joe

alyzeds men beseech the benevo-

Latest editions of the press called
by newsboys rival the noise of the
street hucksters who peddle in the
open street the products of farm
and garden.
A friend with whom we stop
for a moments greeting and to
whom we comment of this welcome
return of prosperity tells US pessi-
mistically that the reality bellies
our deduction. Declares that WPA
is largely responsible-that the bulk
of Chicago's people are in bad
way. And as we. continue our OBJ
servations conviction is forced upon
US that our friends conclusions are
nearer correct than our first opti-
mistic estimate led US to believe.
For we noted a certain lily defined
decadence, manifested more in
ways indefinite than specific. A
sort of lowering of the moral tone,
a thing of the spirit that enveloped
many of the people, perhaps I'M
known even to themselves. The
residences show it; the appearance
of the lawns indicates it; the care
less conduct of patrons of the pic
ture houses proves it.
The cold attitudes of the traders
and the grasping raisings of rental
for strangers by hotels and homes
go to show that Chicago is in the
midst of a prize fight "boom" and
that it must make hay while the
sun shines. For tomorrow it will
be over.
Chicago is a city of vast extent
as everyone knows. But the casual
visitor is amazed at the extent of
it's territory. At the new sections,
each with it's business center that
duplicates the Chicago of the loop.
In each of these there is found
colored people; a few here; a con-
siderable settlement there. In one
small such division, fifteen miles
from the city's center, there are
$500 Negro people, almost half as
many as the total of these people
in Minneapolis.
There are perhaps a half dozen
business places they conduct. In
one important way this community
shows its kinship with the Twin
Cities: it has 80 churches.
1t has seemed to us most natural
to discuss these things and the con-
illusions they invite with Chicago
acquaintance. They say it is most
unfair to judge the community by
its worst and most visible aspects.
That Chicago, through its churches,
clubs and civic organizations, is
doing much to bolster religion, edu-
cation and individual progress. The
truth of this we will not dispute.
But it has always seemed to this
writer just appraisal of people
when the condition of the mass is
made the criterion.

Important Bills Affecting
Monroe County To Be
introduced In Legislature


Three very important bills af-
fecting Monroe county VII te in
troduced at the next meeting of
the Florida Legislature, the titles
and meanings of which are being
published in The Citizen of tins
date.
This trio of bills have been dis
cussed between County Attorney
Arthur Gomez and the board Of
county commissioners and the las-
ter have approved them in every
detail.
First bill will be introduced
with view to raising the salaries
of county commissioners to 500
per month, except that the emolu-
ments of the chairman, IN this
case, Carl Bervaldi, vii ta raised
to SIPS monthly.
In expla ming the larger salary
of the chairman, Mr.. Gomez said
that this was the practice in 9TH
er counties. and felt that the adj
ditional work VIII ;ch 6evolves on the
chairman warrants the increase
in compensation to higher f'g-
ure than that received by the
members.

Another bill which he win in

at.ltes in connection with the
ju6go Of the criminal court Of rec
ord, and permit the judge, in tbs
instance, Judge William V. Al

permitted to engage in the prae-
tee Of Jaw, but the passage Of the
bin would ynsan that this d'sabiIi-
ty has been removed.
b. The last Of the bills would make
it obligatory on the part Of the
person who has the ap2ointive
power to appoint as members Of

of Monroe county.
Mr.. Gomez explained that ~
ell of the work on the bridge and
road is being carried on and will
be within the boundaries Of Mon
roe county, it is no more than
just that the commission mem
bers be appointed from the coun-
ty.
On these three bills the COM

WELL KNOWN PAINTER WAS
CALLER AT THE CITIZEN
etA OFFICE TODAY

Willard B. Gillette, of Troy
New York, was an entertaining
caller at The Citizen office today
and had many nice things to say
about Key West.
Mr.. Gillette is q well known
painter, and has specialized in
placing on canvas many varieties
of sea specimens but at present is
anxious for good weather in or
der that he may have the oppor-
tunity of catching some.
Although he has been quite a
traveller Mr.. Gillette says that
he has never visited a city which
has the quaint charm variety of
attractions he finds in Key West,
and predicts that with the COM
pletion of the overseas highway
bridges, an undreamed of future
prosperity for "this beautiful and
attractive city,"
One of the first attractions he
found took him on a mental trip
to Troy. This was when coming
out of the Colonial Hotel he saw
the spires of st. Paul's church. He
Investigated and found that the
name of the edifice was the same
as that of the church he attends
in his home city.
Mr.. Gillette is assembling data
from which he will write leng-
thy article on the beauties of Key
West, its many charming and in
triguing qualities, and send it to
The Times-Record company, of
Troy, for publication.
