SYPHILIS CONTROL

A project to stimulate development
of health activities among 10000 stu
dents in 1O4 Negro colleges through
out the country will constitute a first
step in the national campaign in syph-
Ills control and social hygiene to reach
an ultimate 100000 young men and
women, it was announced by DR.. Wal
ter Clarke, executive director of the
American Social Hygiene Association.
Action on the proposal was taken
today by a committee comprising DR..
Kendall Emerson, managing director
of the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton; DR.. G. st. Clair Guild, field rep
resentative of the MIA; DIR. Paul B.
Cornely, associate professor of pre-
tentative medicine, Howard Univers-
ity and DR.. Clarke.

youths will return to schools and col
leger to prepare themselves for bust

survey shows that 3,079 Colored per-
sons graduated from mixed and segre-
gated institutions of higher learneng
in the United States during the acade-
mic year 1937-1938, according to the
seventh annual education edition of the
Crisis magazine.
Many of these people will seek
employment opportunities in the in

A DRAG ON THE COUNTRY

A short time ago the Interstate
Commerce Commission increased the
freight rates charged by motor trucks
in New England and the East Central
states In an editorial praising this as a
constructive step in dealing with the
general transportation situation, the
New York Times said: ''The problem
of rail-motor competition is far from
peculiar to the United States, and most
of the countries of the world are hav-
ing to contend with it. The problem is
not of favoring one form of trans
portation at the cost of another, but
rather of preserving the advantages of
each in a national transportation sys-
tenn in which each is IN integrated and
coordinated part"
During the past eighteen or
twenty years the motor carriers have
been in the nature of "teachers's pets"
SO far as our transportation policy is
concerned. Until comparatively recent
ly, they were subjected to no central
regulation, and even today they r
not regulated as stringently or tho
roughly as the railroads. While they
pay considerable in taxes, their rights
of way-the public highways-are pro
vided by government, for which all the
taxpayers help pay. Railroads, on the
other hand, buy and build their rights
of way another track, and r then
heavily taxed on them in addition to
taxes on equipment earnings, etc.

ARE O A HYPOCRITE?

The average motorist is an uncon-
scious h~ypocrite. That's a strong char
acterizatiofEbut a little impersonal
ANALYSIS will substantiate it.
How often have you roundly crl-
ticized some driver for an offense
which you commit periodically your
self? How often have you taken COM
fort in the thought that accidents are
caused by some reckless breed of motto
rists with whom you have nothing In
common, thus lodging the fact that
only pure fools luck has saved you
from a crash on a dozen occasions?
Have you ever attempted to get a
ticket "fixed'-even though you pay
lip service to the cause of aggressive,
impartial law enforcement?
1t is a fact that a large proportion
of accidents are caused by the reckless
ten percent, but the other ninety per
cent periodically take chances and are
responsible for many of our annual au-
to deaths.
Who, for example, doesn't some
times pass a car when the stretch OF
empty road that can be seen is too
short for safety? Who doesn't occa-
sionally succumb to the lure of Excess
sive speed-even though he has little
or nothing to do when destination is
reached? Who doesn't periodically neg
lect necessary repairs to brakes, lights
or steering mechanisms, on the theory
that he will get around to it when more
convenient?
Well go a good way toward reduc-
ing accidents when the average driver
begins asking himself such questions
and returning honest answer Accident
prevention, so far as it concerns the
human element, is a personal, indivl-
dual matter-and each individuals has
to really want to drive safely at all
times before he can analyze his driving
errors and correct them.

THE HYDROELECTRIC MYTH

If you listen to the politicians,
you'll come to the conclusion that the
rapid development of Americas hydro
electric resources by the government,
is the solution for just about all of our
national problems. So far, the govern
ment has spent hundreds of millions
on hyro projects scattered about the
country, and it plans to spend hundreds
of millions more in competing with
private enterprise.
Yet, according to the engineers,
the value of hydro power has been ire
mendously exaggerated. And you don't
have to take any lone individuals word
for this. This National Resources Com
mittee, for instance, which was ap-
pointed by the President with Secre-
tary Ickes as chairman, reported in n
of its surveys that water power Jacks
reliability, as it is affected by metero-
logical conditions, dry season, floods,
ice IN the water supply, and mechanical
inter1erences with transmission lines
connecrlng Inc power with distant mar
kets.
Even that isn't the whole story. In
many hydro plants, maximum possible
output is reached in the s~ummer-While
maximum demand comes in the winter.
Far more important than this, the
great bulk Of u~ndeveloped hydro re-
sources in this country + situated
west Of the Mississippi-while the
great bulk Of the population and al
most all big industry is situated in the
East. And it is not economic or feast
BILE to transport power from the plant
except for a moderate distance. The ex-
perts place the maximum practical dis
lance at two or three hundred miles.
To sum up, hydro power is econo-
mic when, and only when large CON
Stunning centers happen to exist near
large water resources. That means
that most of the country will continue
to be served by steam and other fuel
electric plants, in spite of the hydro
myth the politicians have been so busy
creating.

will determine whether these new 1870
travelling sales people, and the 1900
clerks will keep their new jobs, and
Whether these companies will continue
to spend money advertising in the Ne
gro press. If all the Colored people
throughout the country, gave their full
support to the advertisements in their
papers, they could increase by ten
times, the present number of Colored
sales representatives and sales people.
Economic security for the Negro
races lies in the every day buying and
spending of each and every Negro.
Even in so small purchase as a pack of
chewing gum, it is important that Ne
groes buy only those brands that seek
and want their patronage. Last year,
Colored Americans spent over $2,000,-
000 for chewing gum.

fered the widest decline since the new
Daladier government took Office.
In the early afternoon the unit was
quoted around 304 cents and some
trading circles said it was offered at
even lower levels here and there. Wall
Street banking houses heard from their
foreign connections that variety of
factors tended to touch off the selling
most of which came from abroad.
Among the rumors current both here
and on the other side which traders
said affected the market were that
hopes Of making a French loan in
London were dwindling. It was also
said that If an internal loan were to
be noated. some French government
quarters believed the franc should
