Such social egotism is preposter-
Gus.
I was the valedietorian of my
graduating class, all white, ex-
cept me, at Sioux City, Ia, sever
al years ago.
My color had nothing to do with
that. l just had a higher average
in my studies than the others.
Would it not be a wonderful
thing if these supper crust. color
prejudiced intellectualsn could con-
c~entrate their thoughts and de-
wise ways and means to combat and
destroy all forms of discrimination
and injastices perpetrated upon
them race? 1t also SENS they could
use their intellectual abilities to
good advantage in shaping and
molding the thoughts and actions
of the less fortunate of their race;
so that whenever they come in con-
tact with other races, they could
hold 'their own" in language, de-
pertinent, etc.
A few years ago, l caused a
metropolitan newspaper to change
its policy of printing Negro" with
n small m" | convinced the editor
hat white, black, brown, yellow or
red were common descriptive words
or adjectives and when applied to
humans was used as defining the
color of people or races; but when
any word was used to define a
whole race of people as Negro"
which has within its fold all of
these common c%olors, it is sheer
ignorance, or something else, to
not recognize the word as a proper
noun and should be capitalized.
Another editor informed me that
it was their policy to use a cap
ital IN" in the word Negro; but
sometimes a small IN" slipped by
the proof reader. He also called
my attention to the fact that some
Negro editors used a small an"
when printing the word NEGRO"
in their papers.

Shampooing

ottaAh pobAhE
In previous chapters, we have
had the three necessary steps pre-
paratery To The slampooins-mass-
aging, brushing and oiling. Correct
shampooing is n of the essentials
in the care of the scalp and growth
of the hair.
To shampoo, use clean, soft wa
ter or water that that has been
treated by a softener, and a good
skin soap or a prepared sham
poo. Have the water about
blood heat in temperature. Wet the
hair thoroughly with a spray or
wash cloth, then pour enough sham
poo on to make a good lather.
Massage the lather through the
hair and the surface of the scalp.
Spray water through the hair I'M
til the water runs perfectly clear
To test for cleanliness, rub a piece
of cotton over the scalp--if cotton
is soiled, use more shampoo and
proceed as before.
To dry the hair, s a turkish
towel. Rub the hair briskly, but
gently.
The hair combs with ease if comb
ed while still damp. To take out
the snarls easily, begin combing al
the ends.

Chicago Defender, is to be found
a statement by a lady, of De-
troit, Michigan, accusing the Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority of that city
Of color prejudices.
Hamerieans, with color prejud-
ices, possibly, never for a NOM
emf consider that color does not
create wisdom, intelligence, brains
nor moral or spiritual values.
The question with such people
should be,-Who and what am |?
Where did l come from and where
am l going?
An excellent illustration of what
we do know about our real selves,
which is our soul. spirit or what
you wish to call it is to be found
in the Book of Job, Chapter To-,
verso II. Referring to God his
maker jon says: Thou hast clothed
me with skin and flesh, and hast
fenced me with bone and sinews.
Also in Job 1919 we read that
"Great men are not always wise.'
Color hallucinations are not con
fined exclusively to the dark Amer
lean. Great numbers of our white
fellow countrymen have their very
souls saturated with this chair
Drained" color fallacy.
A noted white, American, editor
ial writer, once wrote about rein
carnation. He wrote: IF races
like the bushmen, clay eating In
dams, backward tribes in the hills
of Ceylon, and some others that
were killed off, should come back,
their spirits would necessarily
come back into superior bodies,
possibly, even in lovely white skin
ned, golden haired, Nordic bodies.
Fine thoughts for a brainy man.
According to this mans theory,
he should have had a kindlier feel
ing toward all backward people,
he possibly might have been the
re-incarnated spirit of some race
that he apparently despised.
God, through His laws, caused
humans to be incased in black,
white, brown, yellow and red skins,
and, "There is no respect of per
sons with God" Romans 81.
Sad to say, this color scheme
seems to prevail amongst the in
tellectual social class people who
! should be the last ones to look to
for such unGodly thoughts.
A person could easily conceive
of such outrageous thoughts pre-
dominating the reasoning powers
of the ignorant people who had been
brought up in an environment where
they were taught that the winter
the skin, the more Godlike and
superior beings they we're; but for
educated and intelligent people to
have such thoughts should be, and
I think is, beyond the compensa-
ton of ordinary level headed peo-
pie.
How can a people with such
thoughts ever expect to rise to a
: recognized race and be considered
as being on a par with othel races
and accorded the rights and pri-
viIeges of mankind, the same as
other branches of the human fam
lily?
I wonder what these people with
their different superior colors %
are doing to eradicate the ~insuffer-
able injustices, indignities and
crimes that are daily being perpet-
trated upon the race; a race which
they must accept as their own.
