"In this study the BHE has been

food is sufficient to indicate diet ade-
quate for health, and whether the
money put into housing and household
operation is sufficient for good living

low-income Negro families indicate
that they are inadequate nutritionally, "

SPIES HELD JOBS DENIED
TO NEGROES

NEW YORK, June, (CNA)-Reve-
lations of the ease with which Nazi
spies and other enemies of the Ameri-
can people can obtain employment de-
MED to Negro Americans were made
here this week when volley of espion-
age indictments was fired by the Unit
ed States Government against eighteen

of the secret agents were employed in
key positions in strategic industries.
Only four of the indicted suspects
are in custody. Several of the others
fled to Germany before the Federal
Grand Jury which handed up the in
dictments convened.
Erich Chaser, %, one of the four in
custody, was an enlisted man in the
U. S. Air Corps, which bars Negro
Americans Another, Otto Hermann
Voss, 80, was employed as technician
by the Seversky Aircraft Co., which
does not employ Negro technicians.
Among those high in Nazi councils
named in the indictment charging theft
of American naval, aircraft and defense
secrets were Capt Lieut.. lido Won Bo-
min, chief of Germany's Naval Intelli-
gence (Espionage) Service, and Capt
Lieut.. Hermann Monzel, his assistant.

Interesting among villages included
in the study was Mound Bayou, Miss,
which, with an all-Negro population,
has been commented upon by sociolo-
gists as an example of Negro self-gov-
ernment and economic independence.
The average spending of Negro
family with an income up to $249 per
year, over a one-year period, is as fol-
lows: An average of $50 for food; $34
for housing; $27 for household oper-
alton; SO for clothing; $1l for medi-

There is but one Negro hospital in
Chicago =. and it takes no tubercu-
lar patients.
But Provident Hospital, in spite of
being affiliated to the Rockefeller sup
ported University of Chicago, is in
grave danger of going under. The hos
pital is now conducting drive to
raise $500,0O0 This sum will offset
its losses for period of S years. Un-
less the hospital raises these funds its
doors will be closed
In spite of the fact that it maintains
high level of sanitation and its equip
ment is among the best in the city,
this only Negro hospital in Chicago
/, has only l20 beds.
l walked through the wards of Pro-
vident Hospital 426 E. 51st Street
and found only three TB cases. They
were women who were diagnosed as
having the dread disease after they had
entered the hospital with some Other
ailment.
The Provident Hospital refers al
who come to its doors with tubercu
losis to the public institutions, Cool
County Hospital and the Municipa
tuberculosis Sanotarium.
There are less than 100 beds allotted
for Negro TB cases in all of Chicago
private hospitals.
Cook County Hospital has only lO'
beds for TB patients. 1t does not hav'

The Monarchs and the Giants finish
ed the 1887 League Season in a tie for
the pennant the Monarchs winning in
five playoff games. The Monarchs
were tied for first place with the Mem
phis Red Sox at conclusion of first

last six starts.
Permission was granted the Mon

DOG, GANDER KEEP UP
MOCK WAR FOR YEARS

COSHOCTON, O., June FL
(UP)-For several years now,
their owner, James l.. Boyd, re-
ports, Mack, German shepherd
dog, and Oscar, a gander, have
carried on a daily farm-yard feud
without the loss Of one feather
to Oscar or one mouthful Of hair
to the dog.
Spiritedly, but without rancor,
they wage their pseudo warfare,
Sometimes it is the dog that starts
it; at other times, the gander,
When one or the other gets tired
they quit.
The gandcr's mate takes it Sc
riously, however. AT every fight
she stands on the sidelines and
cheers him on. Boyd. while desir-
ing to remain impartial, neverthe-
less gives a little encouragement
to the dog.
To one not knowing about these
odd encounters it would appear
that both cOmbatants were in
deadly earnest. The gander stands
with feet firmly set, wings spread
and neck twisted in the shape of
a snake about to strike. When he
gets the chance. the bird closes
his bill over section Of hide and
hangs on until shaken loose. The
dog, on the other hand, always
grabs Oscar about the neck and
could, if it chose, make it Il two
piece neck. But Mack so far has
never forgotten to allow for the
difference in size and strength.

Iceland Portroys Its
Geysers on POSTAGE

RUGGED, pittcd Iceland is one
~ of the most volcanic regions
on the entire earth. Volcanic ac-
:ivity has been going on almost
continuously from the formation
Of the land in the time-dimmed
Tertiary period to the present.
There are l07 known volcanoes in
Iceland together with thousands of
-raterS
But the most spectacular evil
lcncc of this vulcanism today arc
Iccland'S. hot springs and geysers.
Hot springs are found in every
part Of Iceland, both Singly and
n groups. Sulphur springs and
boiling mud lakes dot the country,
and in places there are carbonic
acid springs.
Great Gcyscr is the giant OF
hem all. After being inactive
since 1916, suddenly in 1885 it re-
lcwcd its magnificent displays,
shooting hundreds of tons OF, water
$50 feet into the air. Today resi-
