"You spoke that time. By the way, we haven't said anything about the cut. How would f1fty- fifty be?"
 'Fifty-fifty,' said the Weasel, lis okiedoke wid me-"
 Joe bent his attention on the road. Presently he reached over and switched out the dashboard light.

 Yeah" agreed the Weasel. And then, for a long period, beautl- ful silence reigned It was is Ii two souls in perfect harmony and understanding shared the gloom that now pervaded Chandler & Sandhams Ford delivery truck But, under cover of darkness, MT Joseph Herendeen Sandman be- gan to do things.

CAST OF CHARACTERS

 JOSEPH SANDMAN - hero; he thought he was on top of the world until he smacked into KELLY ARCHER -- heroine; she thought she was headed for the altar until she smacked into ED, the WEASEL - gangster; he thought he was headed some where, too, but affairs somehow got mixed up.
 Yesterday: The Weasel escapes the police and the trio moves on while Kelly thanks Ed for an entertaining" evening!
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-07-01

You said it, fella," the Weasel admitted. You had me sucked in. I fought you wanted to marry da goil."
 That's what she thinks too. Wait'll she wakes up."
 This appealed to the Weasel as humor of a high order. He shook with silent mirth on his case of Chandler & Sandhams Peanut TWeeties.
 Now look" said Joe, getting down to business, T wouldn't have told you thing about this if I hadn't seen that it was necessary. But you've got the drop on me, pard as we say out in Arizona where the bad men are. And what want to know is, how far are you prepared to go to earn your cut?"
 The Weasel scratched his head. Gee, I dunno" he said. T ain't hep to do snatch racket"
 Well, I am. In fact, I wrote the words and music. You don't have to worry your head. All I want to know is what will you do?"
 You mean you done kidnapin' before?" asked the Weasel unbe- lievingly.
 Joe flashed his head around and looked at him pityingly. Have I done it before? Don't be a cluck. |"
 Well" said the Weasel, "wot you want I should do?"
 At this point Kelly gave little moan in her sleep. They shot quick glances at her. But her eyes were closed; her body relaxed.
 First of all" Joe said, you might tell me what kind of a place you and this Cissy jane have in Canada?"
 "Ain't much of place, the Weasel told him. Its kinda shack"
 Shack, eh? Well, that sounds all right. Where is it?"
 Pretty near St, Catharines,"
 "Ontario?'
 'Huh?"
 Skip it. I guess it's Ontario, all right Now then, do you think that Cissy can handle this girl? She's a red head you know They're plenty tough"
 The Weasel scoffed. Handle her? Listen, fella, Cissy can shoot da light outa a candle at 50 yards. :"
 Well, before you do anything else when we get there" said Joe decisively, you'll take Cissys gun away from her. We cant afford to have Kel-er-this girl hurt or anything. Not even scatrched. They don't pay off on dead bodies, you know
 "Wot you gonna do," inquired the Weasel heavily, write ran som note?"
 "Yup.'
 "Wotll we say? I aint much good at Writin'."
 Don't you worry, Shakespeare, " said Joe. I'll do the literary work. Is this shack of yours decent at all? This girls got class. We can't keep her in rathole.'
 'Aw, da shack ain't so bad" said the Weasel. Its good enough fer Cissy."
 That, said Joe with imper- cepitble scorn, makes everything okay. We'll, how about going straight there? We better get out of the country before we fool around with ransom notes or any thing. Time enough for that later. I suggest we drive like hell for Niagara Falls
 Sure said the Weasel. And he added: Dis here's a natural, ain't it?"

End of Scandinavia On the Delaware

TWO years after roaring Johan " Printz took command of the New Sweden, the entire colony was swept by fire in 1645, started from a candle dropped by sleep ing sentry on duty at Fort Gothen- burg. Printz rebuilt the fort but Sweden failed to send him new settlers to expand the colony and decline of the project set in.
 In 1853 Printz himself returned to Sweden for recruits and SUD- plies and new governor, Johan Rysingh, took his place. But Ry- singh was too late to save the colony. Long since when Printz had established military post on Tinicum island the Dutch had been aroused, considering this an invasion of their territory. They had retaliated by building Fort Casimir near the site of New Castle. Later the SWedes and Dutch came into open conflict. The SWedes took Fort Casimir in 1854, but were driven out the next year by the Dutch, who seized the whole country.
 The end came in 1855 when peg-legged Dutch Peter Stuyve- sant captured Rysingh and the whole Swedish colony. Thus Sweden became part of New Netherland. Last mark of the Swede in America today is the Holy Trinity church in Whining ton, Del, built in 1898, with walls three and one-half feet thick. It is shown here on one of the five

GET DOWN TO

The average American is highly
wary of Communism, Fascism or other
foreign "isns" which he believes may
slip through our borders surreptitious-
" and destroy freedom and democracy
as he knows it. Yet it is highly probable
as DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler has
pointed out, that the great threat
to American Democracy lies within our
borders. Abuse of taxing power, grad
ual Capitalization of government, and
a growing bureaucracy are a few of the
evils that are insidiously undermining
Democracy from within, observes DR..
Butler.
Political demagogues have taught
millions of persons to believe that the
way to better things lies in the destruc-
ton of wealth, or, if you will "redistri-
button of wealth. which is another
way of putting it. The taxing power
OF government is being used to do the
job. Instead of seeking to create more
wealth, more production, and a higher
standard of living, the country is back
tracking. The people are confused.
They are allowing public money to be
used to destroy t~axpaying enterprises
and private jobs under the delusion
that they are thereby establishing so
cia Justice" social security" or some
Utopian condition that appeals to mass
sentiment.
What is the ultimate solution to
this problem? There is only one solu-
tion-public educationl Just as the
three RS readin', 'ritin' and 'rithmetic,
are taught to every child, SO must the
simple fundamentals of economics
the bread and butter side of life, the OBJ
legation to produce, the obligation to
save-be taught to every Individual,
child and adult alike. Only in this way
a Democracy ultimately survive.

"ACUTE INDIGESTION"
600

The taxpayers and industries of
this country have a vital stake in the
railroads. That is the theme of an ed
iorial in the Santa Fe New Mexican,
which says in part: Railroads pay a
huge chunk of the taxes which keep up
our public institutions. More often
than not the railroad is the No. l tax
payer in any county. The railroads
have financial difficulties. They are
entitled to help, but it should not be
benevolent paternalism on the part of
the government, nor should the govern
ment toy with the idea of going into the
railroad business. It is to be hoped
that railroads can work out some plan
whereby they can get financial assist
ance without having to sell their souls.
It is becoming increasingly apparent
that if railway business isn't healthy,
most other forms of enterprise have
acute Indigestion, too"
The Omaha guide., 1938-10-22
The Crucial Accident Period

The automobile death and accident
rate has shown a steady decline for a
number of months. But now the cru
cial test period is at hand.
We are entering the most danger
u driving months. Fail brings
rains, to be followed by the ice and
SHOWS of winter, all of which immeas-
urably increase driving hazards. E.
qually important, these seasons bring
shorter days-and the accident rate at
night, is much higher than in daylight
The wise driver will prepare for
this dangerous period. And prepar-
alton should take two forms. Put your
car in first class condition, SO far as
brakes, lights, tires and steering are
concerned. And put yourself in the
proper mental condition for safe driv-
ing. Never forget that the human ell
ement is the responsible factor in the
great majority of accidents. Before
anyone can drive safely, he must think
safely. He must know the hazards he
faces, and be prepared for them. This
safety consciousness" IS the first and
most vital essential of accident proven
ton.
Remember that chance-taking isn't
clever. Any fool can push the throttle
to the floorboards, pass on hills and
curves, disregard adverse weather
conditions, and perform similar acts of
idiotic recklessness. Caution is the
product of intelligence.
Drive safely all the time. And be
especially careful in the fall and winter
seasons. Then the accident rate will
continue to go down.

ance companies, to see if they were
operating in violation of the law.
Whatever the results Of this inves-
tigation, the prospective insurance
buyer will do well to keep on his guard.
Prize" policies, whether for life, ac-
cident, or what not, usually contain
long lists of exceptions and limiting
clauses in fine print which make it i'm
possible for the unWary buyer to act
ually obtain what he thinks he is pur-
chasing.
Buy your insurance from a we'll
known company, with agents in your
locality. Pay standard rates, and get
policies that mean what they say.
That's the best insurance protection
anyone a obtain.

The re~trenchment that has been
forced on the railroads, because of the
failure of regulatory authorities to
permit them to charge a living wage
for their product, has been an import
ant factor in prolonging hard times
Under normal conditioils, the lines
spend more than a billion dollars q
year for supplies. They purchase some
10000 different items. The little man-
ufacturer of, say pins or blotting paper
is a beneficiary of this-as well as the
large manufacturer of locomotive air
brakes. And it is this vast purchas-
ing, spread throughout the 48 states.
that is normally responsible for hun
dreds of thousands of jobs-skilled,
unskilled, technical and clerical.
The solution to the railroad prob
lem is basically simple. The lines must
be given rate increases sufficient to
pay costs and earn a profit. Unequal
tiles in the method of regulating them
and their competitors must be ironed
out. Not until this is done, and our.
largest single industry given a chance
to get back on its financial feet, will
industry at large be able to rid itself
of "acute Indigestion"

ELECTION TIMES
900

In a few weeks the American peo-
pie will go to the poles to vote and elect
men to public office. The ballot is a
very sacred instrument as well as pow
erful and can be used to better u eco
nomic, political and social conditions.
The Negro race has a great opportun-
ity to advance in this Nation and that
opportunity should not be cast to the
winds. Now is the time to consider the
candidates who parade before you and
ask for your suffrage. Examine their
records on public issues where u peo-
pie are concerned. Now is the time to
make your demands for your rights
as citizens and as Taxpayers and as vot-
ers. Don't wait until election day is
over and be disappointed and then cry
out, "Well, we will get even at the next
election" You have been saying that
for the past 40 years, and the candi-
dates don't believe you.
Our leaders must think in terms

than a job for one or two. After all,
the Negro ace is bigger in the life Of
Negroes than any partisan politics and
our leaders who make their living from
the sweat of the working masses had
better learn that very thing. The time
is at hand when our people must sup
port and vote for men and measures,
rather than traditions. Vote for those
men seeking public office who are will
ing to give the Negro a square deal in
the economic, political and social devel-
opment of this Nation. From now I'M
til November, candidates will be APP
pearing before you passing out their
literature and making promises. It is
up to you to weight and consider the
evidence in the light of the possible
betterment of our race and the nation.

TWO APPLES A DAY!!!
600

Because Of a number of complica-
ting factors, the apple marketing stu
alton seemed to grow progressively
worse for several years. Then last year
faced with a bumper crop, intense COM
petition from other fruits, and a down
ward spiral of purchasing
power, apple producers decided it was
time to take action if runious losses
were to be avoided.
They appealed to the organized
food chains of the nation for help-and
out of this request, came the National
Apple A Day Sale, which was partici-
pated in by thousands of chains in all
the states.
A report has now been issued on
just what the sale accomplished. 1t is
an inspiring example of what organic
ed distribution, b%uttressed by extensive
newspapers advertising, can do for the
farmer.
During the eight months from
September, 1897, through April, 1888
the period embraced by the campaign
and directly following-the chains sold
AZ per, cent more apples than in the
same months a year before. And this
vas not all. According to retail ex-
perts, the campaigns stabilized prices
an dgave consumers excellent value. It
ducated thousands of persons to the
value of apples, thus creating perma-
nent new demand. 1t brought produc-
ers and retailers closer together in dis
cussing other mutual problems. And of
immense Importance, it crystallized
consumer attention on grading pack
ing an dother phases of apple market
lng-thus increasing the sale of high
as we'll as lower grade fruit.
Thus was a big job we'll done. The
surplus problem was greately alleviat-
ed. Farmers got a good cash return
for their crop. Many l%ong-range bene-
fits were achieved. It's no wonder that
progressive American farmers are
coming to look on mass distribution as
one OF their greatest allies.

LOOK BEFORE LEAPING

Mass distribution is here to stay.
Make no mistake about that. One hun
dred and thirty million people can't be
fed, clothed and housed by the same
methods that were used in this country
a hundred years ago. Seasonable pri-
ces and smooth functioning efficiency
r essestial. And these are the key
stones of mass distribution. Do away
with it and you will bring about a
lower standard of living. These are
facts that M amount of political bally-
hoo can change.

garettes, advertised their products in
the Colored newspapers. The response
of the Colored consumer to these adj
vertisements evidently was not great
enough to warrant them to continue
using the Negro press, as an advertis-
ing medium.
If Colored smokers had given their
full support to these advertisements,
by buying Camel cigarettes, Camels
would have continued to advertise in
the Negro press. AS q result, the in
creased sales would have ben a suffici-
ent inducement to have encouraged the
company to have employed Ne
groes, both in their factories, and also
as Colored statesmen and representa-
tives.
At the present time, there are three
brands of cigarettes being advertised in

d.,

If these manufacturers had spent
as little as l per cent of their advertis-
ing appropriation in the Negro press,
the purchasin' power of the Negro race
would have been greater by $250,000,
in 1897. This quarter of a million dol
lars might have given employment for
n year, to 184 Colored. youths, at $25
a week.
Why is it that these manufacturers
are ignoring this $40,000,O 900 market in
their advertising? Obviously, they have
all the Negro business they want with
out making any special appeal for Col
ored patronage. Just as long as the ma
jority of Colored consumers persist in
buying almost any brand offered them
their economic status will not change.

Employer Charged
With Law Violation

Akron (OLNS)-Facing a possible
fine of $4,000 if found guilty of vio-
lating the new Ohio labor law regulat-
ing the employment of women, Harry
Schneiderman, operator of the Para
mount Dry Cleaning Co. here, entered
a plea of not guilty when arraigned
on the charge last week.
The charge against Schneiderman
was filed by M. K. Wells, deputy in
charge of prosecution for the Ohio
department of industrial relations,
which has jurisdiction over the adj
ministration and enforcement of the
new law.
Schneiderman is accused of failing
to keep a record of hours worked
daily by woman employe. As the
penalty is a maximum fine of 500
for each day that the records are not
kept, and Wells charges that Schnei-
derman did not keep record for more
than year, he is liable to fine of
nearly $4,000 if found guilty.
