Il always tell every Northern audi

between Negroes and whites, so far
as am concerned about you, I believe
it about you, too. OF course, that

believe in social equality, why don't
you have lot of Negroes come in
and take Sunday dinner with you
But it won't work any more there

The biggest problem that confronts
America internally today is the Negro
problem. You have better hold what
you have got Because after a while all
these good Negroes of the North will
want haven of refuge in the South.
They can't live in the big cities, for
they will die from tuberculosis or
they will be murdered by the Yankees

Negroes that they want.
Difference in Races.
"They recognize it North and South

II tell them we don't aim to have

So the Borah measure did not come
out of the committee.
Senator Borah bases his contention
that Associate Justice Van Devanter,
retired, is still member of the Su-
preme Court, on decision of that
court itself in 1884. Judge Wilbur F.
Booth of the Eighth United States
Judicial Circuit brought suit to COM
pei the Government to continue to pay
his full salary, although he had been
retired. Under the economy act the
Government withheld part of Judge
Booths salary. The Supreme Court
decided that Judge Booth remained a
judge, retired or not, particularly as
the law providing for the retirement
of judges of the inferior courts pro-
vided they could be called on to per-
form judicial services, if they were
needed. The same provision stands in
the Summers act providing for the
retirement of justices Of the Supreme
Court.
In view Of that opinion Of the court,
Borah maintains, Associate Justice
Van Devanter is still justice of the
Supreme Court, and Black, therefore,
is a new and additional member Of
that court and therefore illegally ap-
pointed.

OF New York requesting on behalf OF
New York newspaper "your attitude
on possible impeachment of Supreme
Court Justice Black"
Representative Mccormack, Demo-
crat, of Massachusetts, urged a con-
gressional inquiry into the Justices
qualifications.
Senator Bulow, Democrat, of South
Dakota commented: Il know Black
personally and he's pretty nice
fellow. Senator Bankhead, his COL
league, assured me that Black had
never been a member of the Klan."
Postmaster w. Cooper Green of
Birmingham, Ala, associate manager
of Blacks 1892 Senate campaign,
made public a list Of persons whom
he said obtained Government posi-
tions with Blacks recommendation.
The list, he said, contained names
of four Jews and nine Catholics. 1t
demonstrated, he declared. that Black
was mot rehgiously prejudiced."
Alabama's former Governor, Thomas
E. Kilby, political foe of Black, made
public copy of what he said was
purported to be sketch of the grand
passport" of Justice Black in the Ku
Klux Klan, the Associated Press re-
ported.
Kilby said sketch copies were dis
tributed several years ago, and he dug
one from his old files. He said he was
not familiar with the origin of the
sketch and copies.
AS given out by the former Gov
ernor, who was Blacks opponent for
the Senate in 1926 and 1892, the copy
read:

PLEA
ON HOURS LOSES
Hazen Says City Heads Will
Not Approve Funds to
Meet Plan.
BY JAMES r. CHM.

The plea of the City Firefighters'
Association for inclusion in the 1899
budget estimates of an item of about
100000 for establishment of 5-day,
60-hour week in the fire department
will be turned down by the Commits
sioners, it was disclosed today by
Commissioner Hazen.
Legislation designed to shorten the
work week of 1iremen is now pend
ing before the House District COM
mittee, and, even if it is approved
at the next session of Congress, the
plan cannot be put into effect unless
funds are provided for salaries of
additional firemen. For that reason
the association appealed to the Com
missioners at the budget hearings
last week to anticipate enactment of
the legislation and provide the neces-
sary funds to put the five-day week
into effect.
Hazen cited two major" reasons
why the Commissioners will reject
the plan. First, he said, the condi-
ton of District finances will not per-
nit a 100000 salary increase for the
Fire Department. Second, he pointed
out, it would be decidedly unfair"
to the Police Department and other
District departments to put the fire.

they would actually work so hours

that Senator Black was proven to be

Fennininity'
Calls for
Exercise
This Is the Surest
And Safest Way
To Gain Curves.
by Modern Science Institute.
By ELSIE PIERCE.

THERE'S been much emphasis on
the bust and /femininity. AS a
result letters come pouring in-how to
reduce or develop the bust The one
or the other seems to be the pet beauty
bane with women anyway, and par
ticulsrly so this season.
The same cry-how to reduce
quickly-isn't there some other way
than exercise? The same cry land
its volume is increasing on this side)
how 10 develop the bust-aren't
there some applications one can try,
some method of massage, something
other than exercise?
And I'm sorry that my answer has
to be the same. There may be plenty
of progress in the way of new prepa-
rations for skin care, new methods
for waving the hair and all that, but
when it comes 10 bust development
or reduction. exercise is the only thing
sponsor. Others may approve gentle
massage with warm cocoa butter or
similar preparations to develop.
Others may recommend cold applica-
tons of reducing lotions or potions.
But I feel-very strongly-thst no
one should attempt any external or
internal treatment to reduce or de-
velop the bust except under consta nj
supervision of q physician.
In argument you may point to half
q dozen women who reduced or devel-
oped the bust by external massage or
applications. without apparent harm
full effect. Fine-and we hope there
will be no after-effect at any time in
the future.
Exercise, then, remains my one rec
ommendation. And anything that
exercises the arm. shoulder and chest
muscles brings the breast muscles into
play. Active sports such as tennis,
golf, indoor tennis or table tennis,
rowing, swimming are all fine. When
these aren't possible, resistance exer-
cises and arm circling and fIinging
are recommended. For developing the
bust. deep breathing is one of the best
exercises I know. Depend, then, on
exercise and the clever undergarments
that give one = beautiful, youthful
b,lstline-and never mind the drastic

A Problem
Difficult
ToSolve
One of the Reasons
There Are Many
WallhOwers.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: I am OF the
opinion that no gentleman, after
dancing with young lady, would ex-
cuse himself and leave her stranded
with no one to talk to or to dance with,
especially if she knows few people
there. The idea OF being "left cold"
to use the slang expression, SO he can
dance with some one else, sounds ex-
tremely rude. And yet my parents
have treasured my brother that he was
quite within the rights of q gentleman
to do just this. He was a stag ut
private dance and I don't think he
cared especially for this girl, for il he
had he would probably have monopo-
lized her all the evening.
Answer-No social problem is harder
to solve or more distressing from every
angle than this question of what 4 man
is to do when girl to whom he meant
merely to be polite after dancing q
whole dance with her, must either
leave her stranded or else be her part
ner the entire evening long. 1t is this
situation more than anything else that
is the reason why there are wall
flowers. Men don't dare ask girls who
are not outstanding bellies, and that
means that only these last are sure
of having a good time at dances. The
wise girl asks the man to leave her
and the still wiser girl goes to q dance
with 4 group of other girls and always
insists upon returning to the group
after each dance. Girls who do this
regularly always have a wonderful
time, because . man asking one of
them to dance knows that he will be
free to ask another to dance Just as
soon as the music stops.

This Is not an exaggerated story
nor an uncommon one. 1t ought not
to be true, but it is. The remedy lies
in the teachers hands. First, no home
lesson should be given until the pupils
know thoroughly all the principles and
processes involved. This type of home
lesson should be for practice only, not
for the getting of new knowledge.
Next, the lesson should be carefully
planned on one point, for the .-rst six
years Of school, and a few related
points, clearly set forth, for the high
school freshman and juniors. The les
son should be brief. There is no sense
in long lessons. Cover the point-and
done with it. Next, every lesson as
signed must be personally reviewed
and marked by the teacher who gave
it, and the mark recorded.
This last is truly imperative. When
monitors correct papers the teacher
does not know what state the class Is
in on this point, and she must have
personal knowledge of the progress Of
the individual pupil. When children
correct papers mistakes are made,
sometimes favoritism creeps in. 1t
makes work for the teacher, and she
already has enough of that. True.
But il the teacher assigns home les
son with = purpose, and if it has been
planned and pointed accordingly, she
will give fewer lessons of better quail
ity and the pupils will benefit greatly
by them.
And what is very important to the
education of the children and the
health of the home life, mother will
not have to sit up doing homework.
