DR.. Coyne told Of other strange

normalities, who have passed through

There Is one human beanpole, all OF
whose growth after adolescence has
been in one direction-up. There Is
one who. 20 years ago, was beautiful
actress. Something went wrong with
one OF her pituitary secretions and she
developed the grotesque condition
known as acromegaly, with the face
bones curiously distorted.
There are others whose bodies ap-
pear to be normal except that the arms
below the elbows and the legs below
the knees are grotesquely thin. In the
strange assortment are several beard
ed ladies" This used to be considered
as due entirely to pituitary harmone
disturbance. Recent studies. 1t was
explained. led to the belief that 1t is
probably much more complicated, due
to the interaction OF pituitary, adrenal
gland contex and sex glands.

Senator Hattie Caraway's victory in
the Arkansas primary encouraged
other women today in their cam
paigns for political positions long mo-
nopolized by men.
Her denomination had been fought
unsuccessfully by Representative John
L. Mcclellan. who said that serving in
the Senate is "a mans job"
The senior Arkansas Senator, only
woman ever elected to that Office by
popular vote, always has contended
that Senator's should serve, not as men
or women, but as citizens.
A similar viewpoint has been ex-
pressed by her five woman colleagues
in the House of Representatives, all
of whom are seeking reelection. The
woman lawmakers say they serve their
districts with the same efficiency that
would be shown by men of similar
qualifications.
Representative Nan Honeyman Of
Oregon and Representative Virginia
E. Jenckes of Indiana, both Demo-
Gratis, already have been renominated.
Three other CongressWomen seeking
denomination are Representative Mary
E. Norton. Democrat, of New Jersey,
who Steered the wage-hour bill through
the House; Representative Caroline
O'Day, Democrat, OF New York, and

Representative Edith Nourse Rogers,
Republican, of Massachusetts,.
Two other women already have won
places on the November congressional
ballots. Mrs. Ruth Hollingshead de-
feated two male opponents for a
Democratic nomination in Iowa, and
Mrs. Elsie Stanton of Wellston, Ohio
won in the Democratic primary for
Ohio's tenth district Tuesday.
Mrs. Caraway has served in the
Senate since the death of her husband
in 1881, and has assumed greater re-
sponsibilities each year. She is the
first woman to head a Senate COM
mittee, the first to preside over the
Senate, and the first to conduct q
Senate hearing.
After the death Of Senator Joseph
T. Robinson, Democrat, of Arkansas
last summer, Mrs. Caraway abandoned
her habit of silence on the Senate floor
She made about 10 speeches at thu
recent session.
She avoids asking any special consid-
Grafton because of her sex, but usually
declines to attend parties where she
might be the only woman. She dresses
conservatively, usually in black.

should say in all fairness that the
early Hawaiians didn't seem to
care much for civilization such as
we know it, and are happiest with
their music and their beautiful
dances and would rather not both
er with all the hate and hurt we
seem to feel is so necessary in our
so-called civilization. The white
man has to have someone to hate,
so in Hawaii it's the Japanese.
When he talks to you about them
he refers to them as Dam Japs.
But he always talks in whispers,
for the Japanese are the cleverest
Iace on earth.
In Germany Hitler forces his ma
ton to be race conscious with the
tip of his sword. The Japanese
need no leadership. They stick to-
gether automatically. They mi
grated there from the Orient and
worked for zoe a day until they
learned their way around. But
soon they formed their own cor

white firms have to pay. The white

that these 0rientals are complete
ly loyal to our flag and have be-
come so Americanized that they
would be as out of place back in
the Orient as we would be back in
Africa.
May l say in conclusion that you
must plan to visit these Islands?
If your stay is to be short you
must pay no attention to the
mechanisms of government, of
monopolies and racial peculiarities,
but you must breathe deeply of the
freedom and romance of the land.
Where else on earth will you find
a city that builds huge concrete
platforms high up on the side of
a mountain where on moonlit
nights lovers worm their way up
to it in cars and park all night I'M
der the stars if they so desire ? Not
only are the people there unpreju-
diced, but many of the native ones
don't know that there is any
prejudice anywhere else on earth,

some day give yourself your great

he felt he was getting rich off of

Concluding ATticle)
When l talked with a number of
the Negroes in Hawaii l was sur
prised to learn that many of them
had migrated from Haiti. That
brought to my mind d strange
phenomena about Negroes in gen.
eral. They are very poor adven-
turers. Talk with dozens of them
in our own northland and you'll
find that either they were trans
ported here during the war to fill
in a labor shortage, or they were
sent into various sections to work
on the railroads. Many individuals
will tell you, "Well-my cousin
Charlie was up here and he wrote
and said dat he wuz doing quite
well and 1 come on up furst anC
after 1 gifts a job 1 sont back anC
got de wife"
l simply choose this way of say.
ing to many of you that there is
Hawaii where many of you could
find your pot of gold if you are
trained in some given field, for
even cooks and maids get $40 a
month to begin with and there is
huge shortage of domestic help
there also. An experienced cook
can easily get 800 a month. There
also is South America, Samoa,
Australia, and Russia where many
of you could prosper and enjoy the
fruits of real manhood, but who
among you will have the nerve that
Chatwood Hall (Homer Smith)
had when he gave up his job as a
postal worker in Minneapolis and
went to Russia where he holds
high Governmental position?
The Negroes who went to the
Islands from the U. S. in most
cases had jobs assured them be-
fore they arrived there. Negroes
there are civil engineers, school
teachers, architects, taxi drivers,
doctors, lawyers, and domestics.
Most of them have completely lost
their race consciousness and make
no effort to associate with each
other.
Racial Melting Pot
Hawaii has been called the melt
ing pot of all races. 1 do not con-
slider it to be a melting pot, but
rather feel that it should be called
a mixing bowl. The native Ha-
waiians have almost lost their
identity through inter-marriage,
but there are 10000 Japanese in
Honolulu, 10000 Chinese, 10000
Filipinos, and whereas a few thou
sand of the above inter-marry,
they have by no means melted to
the extent that they have lost their
identity. Most of the wealth of
the Islands is already in the hands
of the American whites, who in the
early days married the rich Ha-
waiians. These whites are mostly
descendants of the early American
missionaries. 1t is jokingly, but
truly said, that the missionaries
arrived there in 1920 with a ship
