 It's remarkable how quickly grass will burn and crops wither at this time of the year. particularly after such a prolonged period Of rain. It's this latter fact, though, that aids Tn drying up vegetation. Grass with dew or rain on it Is more susceptible to the suns rays, which are now at their hottest point.

Norma Shearer has declined the role of Scarlett O'Hara in the forthcoming movie version of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind". Maybe she'll regret this, for as yet nobody has taken the trouble to see if the scenarists are going to make free with the Mitchell characters. In the book Scarlet is pretty much on the disliked side, but to produce a pleasant picture her character could be completely changed. In this instance the chosen actress won't suffer from the stigma of being Scarlet O'Hara.

A Book a Day

An altogether different sort of travel book is Mountains of the Moon," by Patrick M. Synge tDut- ton: $N. Or perhaps 1t should be called an adventure book, for sure- ly MT. Synge's exploration of the fabled Ruwenzori range in East Africa was nothing short of adven- ture.
 MT. Synge headed the recent British Museum expedition into the gray mists of Ruwenzori to study it's fauna and flora. What he found there was a world gone mad; "un- real, like some imaginary recon structions of life in a long past geologic age, or even upon another planet"
 Synge found Alpine plants, or dinarily dwarfed, grown to gigantic things; heather slarge is great trees, and groundsels with woody trunks 20 feet high. He discovered so-called primitive savages" quite as charming and as interesting companions as many of the white people I had known in England"
 In fact, it was the latter portion of MT. Synge's book, dealing with the native, that to this reviewer proved most interesting. For here in East Africa, MT. Synge tells us the tempo of the European culture and life is fast reaching into the bush, and with remarkable adapt. ability the African is accepting it
 MT. Synge poses the question: "Is this really an advance? What have we to offer them, or should we clear out as soon as possible?" By no means, of course, did the explorer find the old tribal Africa with its dances and clayed faces vanished. Synge saw much of this, and he writes of it intimately.

Selected Poem
JELLY MAKING (Olive Carleton Munro in the


 (Olive Carleton Munro in the
 Christian Science Monitor) Crystal ruby, emerald, Pale white drifting sand, Ebony and lava, Jade from Samarkand; Souvenirs that you've brought back From some far-off land? No, my kitchen table Holds these treasures rare; berry made of ebony, A leaf of emerald there. Rosy juices bubbling Like lava on the Moon; Drifting mounds of sugar Stirred in with a spoon. Crystal goblets waiting To blush in ruby red Paraffin like creamy jade. Lo, royal spread! Crystal, jade, and ruby. On my shelf they stand, For romance in familiar things And beauty close at hand These my summer souvenirs Remembrance of the land.

Crime Increase

ST. JOSEPH, Mich. Nudge NAL
colin Hatfield today stated that
courts cannot compete with
the cheap dance hall, divorce mill,
road house, pool room, and question
able theatre and magazine. He as
serted that thousands Of children will
soon turn to crime if Indifferent par
ents are not educated to their duties
and responsibilities. The judge lays
down specific means for treating dis
obedience, dishonesty, temper tan
trums and other symptoms that indi-
cate future criminal careers, in his
book, children in Court" which is
being released by the Paeber Co. of
New York City.
Judge Hatfield, whose work with
youthful offenders is closely follow
ed in parent-teacher, religious and
educational circles, added that the
ten million children who are affili--
ated with no church cannot be ex-
pected to develop character and high
ethical standards of morality.

Drive on for Full
Emancipation!

Since the Emancipation Proclama-

1868, colorod Americans have made
what has been called the greatest
progress by any people in the same
length Of time in the history of the
world.
They were poor, without pro-
perty, without jobs and without
education. Today they are so
per cent hferate. They own
more than Two billion dollars in
property and they are (normai-
ly) more than so per cent gain
fully employed. A detailed ex--
animation of the progress would
require book.
Today colored people operate in
suraince companies, banks, savings
and loan societies, thousands of
farms and small businesses; they
have more than $4,000 school teach
ers and college professors; thou
sands OF dentists, doctors, nurses and
other professional people; more thsn
100000 are employed in lndustl v,
thousands belong to labor unions;
they have hundreds Of fraternal So
cieties, thousands of churches and
many millions of dollars in church
property, with millians Of church
members; they have contributed to
the arts and sciences; they have
made enormous strides iii cultural
achievements. They have become
intelligent and responsible citizens
with hundreds Of elected and APP
pointed political office holders.
Full Freedom NOT Won
But with all this progress, MS re-
markable as it has been, full free
dom has not been won. The rights,
privileges and responsibilities Of
American citizenship are denied to
great groups of colored people in
every section Of our land. Such
achievements as have been made
have been against tremendous odds.
In many sections Of the coun-

money Of the states. A fair and
equitable distribution of the tax
funds for education is not made

In many places coiored people
are denied access to certain
types of employment solely on
account of their color; and in
many cases, even .yhcn employ

lower wage scale than white
workers performing identical

The sharecropping and tenant
