Most ministers never say a good
thing of their Pensioners until
he performs the funeral eulogy.
Should we practice saying good
things of one another rather than
the opposite we would eventually
eradicate the traditional philosophy
which says, "Let him come as
came, but never encourage them"
God called everything good. A few
days ago 1 learned why he called
snakes good. Scientists have dis
covered that oil of snake is good
for the cure of cancer and paraly-
sis. So it might find us good for
something if only oil. Thank you.

and hearty cooperation you have
given us in our relentless and per-

into her cooking. On other dayl
her hands were heavy and her
judgment none too accurate, she
wasn't able to assemble in just the
right degree the fundamentals of
her products.
Now, that is not true of all
mothers nor of all housewives.
The truth remains. however, that
no woman, mother, wife, or daugh-
ter can cook acceptably all the time
unless she is prepared with a
knowledge of the fundamentals of
cooking. She cannot serve those
Iainty delightful luncheOns and
dinners so dear to the heart of the
housewife and so much appreciated
by her guests.
To meet the situation there has
developed the modern Cooking
school" where some public sponsor,
usually some outstanding news
paper, secures an expert demon
strator and teaches many hundreds
OF women attending in a group,
the science of preparing palatable
attractive meals.
That this meets an almost uni
versal want is attested by the null.
titude Of women who eagerly seize
an opportunity to become more ex,
pert in this favOrite art of thu
housewife.
Our own women by reason Of
environment and natural caIlinI
are usually good cooks. But man,
would like to become better an,
wish to learn the secret of unfail
ing success and how to prepar,
succulent and gratifying meals TO
all occasions.
So this paper is undertaking t,
meet that desire by sponsoring
cooking school with all the oc
coutrements that have made tina
form of education so successful an,
so popular. There will be an ex

HERE and
THERE
D. W. n. Smith

Those of us whose mothers left
US in early childhood retain as a
sacred tradition the thought that
mother was "The finest cook that
ever lived" It's a tradition that
does us honor and surrounds the
memory of mother with an aura of
almost angelic degree.
But when our mothers have sur
vived to the time when the chill
dren have grown to manhood and
womanhood, when our judgments
have matured we are forced to ad-
init, sadly enough, and only to
ourselves that our memory of
mother may have been exaggerated
if she ever deserved to be num-
bered among the superScooks, has
out lived it and today she must
be placed among the "has beens.'
The conviction comes to US thai
mother never could make a lemon
pie.
And while at times she can max,
a pan of biscuits that just seem Il
melt in the mouth there are Othel
times, all too frequent, when he

This, of course, was becaus,

ings rather than with knowledge
and measurement.

MY FLOWERS WHILE l LIVE

To the Editor:
Clergymen, state executives,
prophets, and housewives are
usually praised for their faithful
ness after their deaths. Mr.. Lin
coin and Mr.. Mckinley were said
to have been the best presidents
we ever had. Both were killed
while serving faithfully in office.
Therefore all things whatsoever
We would that men should do unto
you, do We even so to them" l
rejoice when my wife, Mrs. Brown,
says something good of me, while
am living and can enjoy words of
praise.
Is it possible that we humans do
not see fully the human blossoms
in their beauty until the plant
dies? While passing around flow
ers l shall drop one with our
colored papers of the Twin Cities,
the st. Paul Recorder and the Min
neapolis Spokesman, which de-
mands the interest of thousands of
colored and white readers. l wish
to commend Mr.. C. E. Newman,
the editor, for his courageous and
fearless attacks on those who
would violate the rights of the
colored citizenry. Should we read
with interest the editorial notes
we will find wherein he labors
faithfully with one great objective
to bring about clearer and better
racial understanding between the
white and colored people.
am deeply impressed with the
philosophical statement in which
Mr.. W. M. Smith, staff writer,
made with reference to efficiency
as the means with which we may
safeguard our employment. His
choice of Mr.. Whatley as an ex-
ample was timely. We know Mr..
Smith as competent commentator
on our problems. / am grateful
that so many people buy the Re-
corder and Spokesman. 1t is an
unusual example of the coopera-
ton which will mean much to our
future generations. Both papers
are a living example of what the
colored people can do if they will,
an example our young people will
have before them.
| Another flower must be bestowed
on the group of colored men who
have guided and piloted Joe Loui:
to the greatest honor in the pugil
istic world, the heavyweight
championship of the world. Oul
first champion was managed ant
trained by whites. He kicked ovel
the traces and the pail of mill
which would have supplied the rae,
with courage to climb to heights
l feel justified in saying that Jack
Johnson's life could be blamed OF
his white managers and trainer

We Are Glad

The Negro communities of the Twin Cities have been
fortunate far in that only of the garng crimes
against in the past months have been attributed
group members.
The single exception treated by the daes without
stress emphasis the of the perperator of the
crime.
When criminal whites commit crimes it is merely crime
but when Negro is charged with committing such oense
the deS usually accenuate the of the criminal rather
than his deed In other words crime committed by white
is simply crime whereas the crime committed by
Negro is NEGRO CRIME.

INDUSTRIAL CONFLICT

In spite of much improvement in
business. existing or possible labor
troubles constitute a cloud on the
industrial sky. May it grow less,
will be the hope of peaceful minded
citizens. Recent reports have given
some hope that the prolonged con-
troversy in the maritime industry
may be settled, but there are possi-
bilities of serious trouble in the
steel trade.
Recent strikes in the glass indus
try threaten to interfere with the
automobile factories dependent upon
this material. How far will the
automobile and other industries be
affected by the present wave of
labor unrest?
A certain amount of conflict be-
tween labor and capital can never
be avoided. Some employers will
not yield until forced to do so. Some
labor people take positions that
would ruin the industries in which
they are interested. So long as one
or both parties to such a dispute
fail TO see these conditions in an i'm
partial light. there will be trouble.
People see their own side of a
controversy very clearly. but do not
usually realize the force of the op-
posing argument. The manufac-
turer is driven by competition, and
he can not raise his prices above
the level at which people will buy
his product. Harassed by these con-
ditiOns. he has much to worry about,
and he has to be cautious how he
increases his costs.
The workers have to get along on
limited earnings. They are eager
to get the benefits which seemingly
should go to every citizen. Yet if
they push their demands too fast,
they may ruin the employers bust
ness.
There are many employers who
need more human sympathy, and
many workers who need more intel
ligence about business. How can
these lacks of human vision be sup
piled?
Milford chronicle., 1937-01-01
CAUSES OF UNEMPLOYMENT

The United States Senate, at its
session soon to open, will be asked
to investigate the causes of unem-
ployment. While many congress
sional Investigations of past years
have not seemed to accomplish much
yet here is a situation that urgently
calls for study and action.
Work is perhaps the most vital
necessity of life. If a civilization
can not find work for practically all
its people, it is a very faulty ciVili-
zation. In the earlier history of the
country, no such difficulty was ex-
perienced.
That was largely because anybody
out of work could take up govern
ment land for little or nothing, and
raise and sell food. The situation is
more complex today. with about all
the good land taken up. To provide
work for everybody. everybody must
be willing to work. There is no
room for the lazy. All these ques-
tions should be pondered deeply by
every statesman in Congress.

NEW YEAR. NEW METHODS

No business can expect to be per-
manently prosperous. unless it modi-
fies its methods as time goes OIL. The
world keeps changing. peoples ideas
keep changing. The kind of mer-
chandise that sold well ten years ago
will not probably sell today. What
sold well in 1886. will not necessarily
move readily in 1897. The alert
business concern has to watch
changes very closely and keep up
with them.
Also the ways of handling Gus
toners and systems of buying and
credits and collections and delivery
of goods and everything else. are
subject to change and improvement
as time goes on. Many concerns get
in rut and stay there. We must
all move with the times.

WHAT n REAL SUCCRsSi

Prof. Albert Einstein. famous
scientist and philosopher, has a
paper in the Christian Register, in
which he indicates that people have
wrong idea as to what constitutes
success" in life. He thinks the
most important aim is to find joy
and happiness in the work one does.
Most people consider that the sue
cessful person is the one who makes
heap of money. But many people
who have made heap of money are
very unhappy. If such success does
not bring happiness, what does it
amount to?
The average person simply looks
al his pay. He will in time lose his
interest in the things that pay can
buy. If he can do some job of work
better than anyone else, he feels a
sense of triumph that brings happi-
ness. We all need money to meet
the high cost of living. but many

motion as the result of good work.
