Here And
There
BY w. M. Smith

The art exhibition shown AT
Phyllis Wheatley House, Mime
apOlis, last Sunday, seems to this
writer to have reached a new high
in race consciousness, and develop
ment.
Not that the compositions on
display claimed remarkable ex-
ceIlence, though to this more or less
uninitiated eye they well deserved
all the praise shOwered upon them.
1t was rather the atmosphere
that surrounded the exhibition and
the newer approach and apprecia-
ton shown by the visitors that
marked this occasion as differing
widely from anything heretofore
called to the attention of our
group.
We have grown accustomed to,
and, frequently impatient with,
youth in it's immaturity and I'M
conscious conceit; we have won
dered if it could ever grow up, and
we have worried often enough, that
when it did reach maturity, would
the product justify our high hopes
and pay in definite dividends, the
investments made through the de-
veloping years.
Then comes this most comfort
ing answer through the medium of
this exhibition. Wide eyed young
men, grown beyond the thralldom
of youth, modest, yet far-seeing.
Appreciative of the beauty and cul-
tural possibilities in their art, con-
scious too, that they have reached
only the threshold of that wide
valley of knowledge through which
to climb to the heights and unwill-
ing to invite or accept undue praise
for accomplishments not yet per-
fected.
1t was a pleasure to hear them
voice their hopes and their ex-
pressed determination to succeed.
There were many other young
people about, not artists in their
own right, perhaps, but drawn to
this showing of artistic attempts by
fellow young people, as much by
the discarding of youthful hinder
ances, bOisterous acclaim for the
wrong things of life and a ready
acceptance of things of real value,
as for the merits Of the exhibition
itself. There was cOntagiOn in the
very air, as with quiet dignity they
welcomed visitors, conducted them
to the various examples of paint
ings, photos and sculpture hung

A young man came into our
Office last week who had read Our
comments upon the actions of the
Senate in refusing to use the clO-
ture to bring the pending anti.
lynching bill to a vote. He was
righteOusly indignant that the gov.
eminent would continue to pay sal.
aries to men who would permit the
murder of his people to go on un.
checked. He declared the Presi.
dent or someone should do some.
thing about it.
i patiently explained to him, as
l have to many others, that he had
the wrong slant upon the remedy
and the way it should be applied
Certainly he was correct in assum.
ing that something should be done
about it. But he was entirely
wrong in expecting the President
or any other uninterested body OF
persons to act unless urged thereto
by a personal interest they do not
as yet possess.
You are the interested party and
you must do the necessary "sOme-
thing"
What can / do" he asked.
You can write or telegraph your
Senators in the Congress urging
them to support this legislation
This is one of the most effective as
well as most inexpensive ways to
use your own influence. The at
tempt to invoke the cloture will
again come up for consideration;
write before it is too late.

humanity as lynching and the de-
privation of their rights as citizens

For the last "a days, the business
of the 18th Congress has been
practically side-tracked by a fill
buster of southern senator's against
the anti-lynching measure spon-
.sored by the Roosevelt administra-
ton and, as part of the Democratic
program, entitled to the support of
the Democratic senator's and con-

Now comes Senator McNary,
leader of the Senate minority, with
no apology or explanation for the
volte face, and announces tn a t
his REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES
WILL AID THE FILIBUSTER
BY OPPOSING the cloture rule
whereby the bill could be brought
to vote. That should be the last
touch to drive the Negro voting
population of the United States out
of the camp of their BETRAYERS.
Shrewd politician that he occasion
ally is, McNary plans to trade the
Negro support of the South for
what renegade Democrats tn e

to the anti-lynching bill.

Chronic Arthritis

Arthritis means Inflammation Cd
joint. Chronic arthritis is that
form of arthritis which is charac-
terized by a gradual, progressive
disability of a joint. Chronic
arthritis has been divided into
many different types. This differ
entiation has depended more or less
upon the type of deformity that
has resulted. However, at the
present time, most of these types
have been united into two major
types.
If we knew the exact bacteria
logical cause of this inflammatory
condition, classification would be
more scientific and in line with
classification of diseases of other
parts of the body. However, there
are, at present, many factors which
apparently have much to do with
the development of chronic ar
Thrills in general. Physical injury to
joints, tonsillitis, influenza, sinus
tits, dental infection, and chronic
infections in the body are all shown
to play a part as predisposing fac
tors. r... .....
The treatment of such a condi-
ton will necessarily be confined not
only to the joint or joints involved,
but, also, to those parts of the body
which show evidence of chronic
disease. In eradicating all such in
fections, the body can be given
more strength with which to over
come the arthritis and poisonous
waste products and toxins are re-
duced to a minimum, thereby de-
creasing the pollution of the blood
stream which must nourish the dis
eased joints. The diet should be
rich in minerals and yitamins with
a sufficient amount of meat and
cereals. Drugs are of use to de-
crease pain and to stimulate tissue

exercise and other forms of physi-
cal therapy are very useful when

Source of l-e Names of
Twelve Months of Year
Names Of the twelve months Of
the year have the following deri-
walton:
January. the Roman Janus pre-
sided over the beginning Of every
thing; hence the first month of the
year was named after him. Febru-
airy, the Roman festival Februs was
held on the fifteenth day of this
month, in honor Of Lupercus, the
god Of fertility. March, named
from the Roman god Of war, Mars.
April. the Latin word, "Aprillis,"
probably is derived from "aperire,"
to open, because spring generally
begins and the buds open in this
month. May, the Latin word, Mai
us, probably is derived from Maia,
a feminine divinity worshiped at
Rome on the first day of this month,
June, from Juno, Roman divinity
worShiped as the queen Of heaven.
July, from Julius; Julius Caesar
was born in this month. August,
named by the Emperor Augustus
Caesar, 30 B. c., after himself, as
he regarded it fortunate month,
in which he had gained several VIC
tories. September, from 'septem"
meaning seven; September was the
seventh month of the old Roman
year. October, November and De-
cember respectively are from "oc-
to-" meaning eight; "novem,"
meaning nine; and ''decem,"
meaning ten, those three months be-
ing the eighth, ninth and tenth
months of the old Roman year.

with true artistic design. The older
people present, as they were deftly
served a grateful cup of tea, were
visibly impressed by the new sense
of values, so mOdestly, yet so in
delibly impressed upon them.
1t is to be regretted that more
of our people did not benefit
themselves by viewing these ex-
hibitions of talented young people
in their first attempt to call public
attention to their meritorious work,
the result of an inward urge for
the most part unsupported by their
friends and neighbors.
None the less it is to be CRATE
fully acknowledged that the in
ward urge toward artistic interpre-
tation did grow and overflow into

ators and their appreciative au-
dience.

Because of this more or less
mythical protection, the only sub
stantial following the Republican
Party has had in the South the
last 70 years has been drawn from
the Negro race. Denied the right
of suffrage, and in many states not
even daring to exercise it, the
Negroes stuck Loyalty to the party
of Lincoln - to the men who set
them free.
. The only function they have
been able to exercise in political
affairs has been to appear once in
four years in national Republican
conventions, closeherded by white
boss, to cast their votes for a presi-
Dental candidate for whom they
could never vote at the polls and
who rarely carried a state south of
the Mason and Dixon line. In sue
cessive Republican administrations
they were rewarded for this loyalty
with occasional crumbs from the
pie counter. Even such a wretched
pittance kept the Negro vote fairly
solid for the G. o. P.
Then came the New Deal and
an awakening of the Negro To the
bunco game he had been unwilling
ly playing. In 1882 and 1886 the
NEGROES BROKE RANKS AND
SWARMED OVER, WHEREVER
THEY HAD A CHANCE TO
VOTE, to the Roosevelt camp. Now
they are being CHASTISED by
