of assistance to class of workers
whose welfare has been of little
governmental concern in the past.
HerndOn and the ScOttsbOro Boys
The resolution demanding the
unconditional release of Angelo
Herndon and the Scottsboro boys
should be Of great interest to
Negroes. It is not alone that this
demand endeavors to bring to an
end the physical suffering of these
boys, but it also proclaims bitter
opposition to any form Of illegal
lynching." 1t further proclaims a
determination to fight all Fascist
tendencies Of government agencies.
Through the efforts of delegate
]. Louis Erwin of the Rondo club,
the convention reaffirmed the par
tvs stand against all discrimina-
ton, segregation, and disfranchise-
ment. This was a signal accom-
plishment and Mr.. Erwin deserves
great credit for his efforts.
Loyalty to BensOn's Program
The convention, through the
adoption of the report of its leg
islatioa committee, went on record
as endorsing Governor Benson's
program. Two of these proposals
are of extreme interest to Negro
citizens: specialization of medicine
and adjustment of taxation. The
passage of making the first pro-
posal possible will mean that full
medicinal, surgical and hospitali-
zation benefits will be available
to a greater and more frequent de-
gree to those who cannot now af-
ford such a beneficial service. Such
a law would lift the standard of
health appreciably and would
make for better, happier lives.
And how badly WE need any such
a program is too obvious for dis
cussion here.
The Governors taxation propo-
sal will make for larger distri-
button of income taxes, graduated
on the basis of ability to pay, and
an attendant lessening of the tax
strain on homesteads and farms.
That the convention should so
intellectually support such a
proposal should be of great en-
couragement to persons of small
incomes and homes. And in that
class the majority of Negroes can
be found.
Loan Sharks
The convention took definite
steps to support the Governors
drive on the usurial policies of
loan companies. Far too frequent
ly have we been the victims of this
vicious policy. Any effort to curb
such unjust practices should meet
with our enthusiastic approval.
Forced as we ofttimes are to Dor
row in order to bolster our pre-
carious financial status, such a pro-
posal to give us greater protection
when we are forced to borrow
money will doubtless be greeted
with our acclaim.
How We Can Help

plain to the Appropriations Subcom-
mittee the need for additional per-
sonnel to shorten hours. The Sen
ator said l3 more employees are

The House, by unanimous consent,
today passed the bill creating a COM

ate and House Committees on Public

torium and to report back with rec
concentrations to the House. Repre-
sentative Taylor of Tennessee, ranking

mittee. called attention that by the
amendment the Republicans are given
representation on the commission.

Rest in Bed is Best
Treatment for Colds.

Colds and sore Threats never declare
a moratorium for Christmas. For that
reason the Public Health Education
Committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association today recommends
extra precautions so as to avoid spelling
the holidays with sniffles and worse.
No sure preventive can be offered, the
doctors say; but unlucky victims who
"feel a cold coming on" can drop their
activities for day or two, stay home
in bed. And thus give themselves the
benefit of the best known aid for
nipping colds in the bud.
Many other cold preventives are being
tried, according to the bulletin. They
range from vaccines and serums to drug
preparations. They have their uses in
special cases but none are universally
successful
Only one tried and proven measure
can be recommended to everybody with
out exception; that is to stay warm and
quiet in bed Drinking an extra
amount of water, fruit juices and other
liquids also helps.
If the cold should prove to be q
preliminary to some more serious all
ment, staying in bed is a necessary
first step in treatment. If not, day
in bed will hasten recovery, assist ir
preventing possible bad effects of ne
elected colds and protect others from
infection.

Surrey Shows Tree
Species Moving North.

Finding Minnesota's soil and climate
suited to their needs, at least five
species of trees have taken root many
shows a recent survey conducted by
staff members of the Lake States Forest
Experiment Station, University Farm,
st. Paul.
Of particular interest is the extern
sion in range of the hemlock to the
eastern side of Lake Mile Laos, stresses
E. I. Roe, station forester, who with
Joseph Kittredge, former member of
the station staff, conducted the survey
Once thought lost to the state, this
trees location near Mile Laos is the
westernmost locality known for the
species in the United States. Previous
to the great fires of 1918, the hemlock
was found in Pine, Carlton and st
Louis counties, but all traces of it were
destroyed that year.
Other species which have extended
their range in Minnesota, generally to-
ward the north, are the silver maple
the rock elm and the jack and red oaks
The rock elm, found in northern Iowa
at the time of the last previous survey
is now growing in northern Itasca
county, 800 miles north of its former
range limit. The silver maple has
moved northward $50 miles from
southern Minnesota to the Lower Rec
Lake region.
