and lily clothed. Perhaps larger
proportion are previously sM-
fering from sickness and dis
ease for lack of proper medical
care. On the crowded streets of
our large cities physicians,
mostly idle stand in each others
way. While in the rural dis
tricts and smaller communities
the dearth of doctors is lament
able. On the other hand school
teachers under state control are
more or less evenly distribut-
ed Throughout the United States,
according to the educational
needs of the population.
Socialized medicine will i'm
prove the general condition of the
public S health just as the pub
lie education is calculated to
stamp out ignorance.
Of course the money must be
raised for medical treatment
just as it is for education by
public taxation. Those who OBJ
ject on account of the bugbear
of RECOMMENDATION, are merely
caught up in the culture lag of
centuries ago. AS our pupula-
ton increases and the processes
of civilization become more and
more complex, the world must
coform more and more to the
regimented regime. AS Tenny-
son with a prophetic eye, told
us a hundred years ago 1.-The in
dividual withers and the world
is more and more"
But what is to become of the
machinery which has been built
up under private agencies when
the state takes over medicine ?
The example of existing private
schools and colleges still exist
in rivalry with public educa-
ton indicates the solution.
A few private physicians will
md patients under specialized
circumstances just as there are
specialized private schools. The
great private institutions of
learning like Harvard, Yale,
Columbia and Princeton now
compete vi t h public education
only be keeping out of it's way
through specialization.
In some such fashion no doubt
private physicians and private
hospitals will cotnue for wears
to come but will confne them
sevles to special expert functions
The existing cnrps of physi-
clans will in the main be absorb
ed as state doctors, just as pri-
Vate instructors have become
public schol teachers. The re-
lative efficiency, enthusiasm and
enterprise of our corps of teach
ers today indicates we need not
lear the lack Of incentive az a
spur to to the medical frater-
nifty when medicine becomes
socialized.

ALONG ELM STREET
BY CAPTAIN d. J. GILMER
GREENSBORO, n. C.

Long long ago the Latin
fathers had a great convention
for the purpose of enacting GER
tain m ora laws by which to
safeguard human society, but
the Bible canon did not accept
these Latin laws among which
was this:
Let nothing but good be said
of the dead"
Therefore, upon the sense &
virtue of the above Latin moral
law, we wish to say something
Johnson. Not to give vent to
spleen but to comment upon
of his works which l did not
fancy so well. I did not knop
anything persoally about Mr..
Johnson. By his works l knew
him and from that point | wish
to rite about him.
There is a technical point in
the lives of American Negroes
where what some of them
would want to be of service it is
not, from my angle of observa-
tin not service at all but a viola
ton of 'Thou shalt have no
other gods before me-"
To violate this law is danger
Gus in the lives of Negroes when
they forget all other races and
their virtues and gifts and at
tempt to glorify the Negro race.
This I am afraid, Mr.. John
son did. His Negro national an
them is an excellent American
hymn, but not a Negro national
anthem. The purport of the
hum is for the American Negro.
This Negro race is not a nation,
but an integral part of the
America nation. And this ma
TONS national anthem is the
only one we can have.
" hat Mr.. Johnson had in the
deeper recesses of his mind and
soul whe he wrote what he styl-
ed the Negro National Anthem
is really tn e Negroes prayer
hymn.
Then to take Mr.. Johnson s
Creation" styled by him a
poem l cannot agree that it is a
poem. From my way of think
ing God condemns it for he says
that we must not add to his word
foreign matter; it is very dan
gerous to do so. We can inter-
pref Gods word to any enlarge
ment for His glory in the
bounds of the truth-and you
know that there is but one truth
and that is God, VII ere Jesus
says Il am the truth" There
fore there is no truth except
where it portays the purpose
of Jesus Chist. So "Ceation"
written by the late Mr.. Johnson
from my angle of observation
of holy interpretion of Gods
word, the so-called poem is a
displeasure to God. A dangerous
thing to do.
The word Of God is quite more
than we can understand even
in this day when schools believe
they know the mastery of every
earthly problem but Gods word !
NO.. Only God can reveal the |
of His word.

A Good Boy Wanted

Is there some one who has a
boy about IL or 13 years old for
who they would like a good
home? We should like such a
boy of good character, and one
that can be trusted for light
work around our home, and dur
ing the school term must attend
school. Would like boy we can
treat as our own son. For
further information write.

Censrship

The powerful efforts of the
Catholic priests and the K of c
to stop the showing of Block
ade," a motion picture dealing
with the Spanish conflict, is a
fair sample of what films of the
future, attempting to give por-
trayal of social and political
themes will have to face, unless
ways and means are found to
stem the tides of intolerance,
which brazenly flaunt the ban
ner of dececy.
Those who clamor for decency
in motion pitures are apt to be
deceptive persons, not actually
so much concerned with pro-
priety as they are with bending
an instrument of public to their
selfish wills. Give the decency
defenders an inch and they will,
true to old tradition, take a mile.
without regard for the public
good.
Censorship is an old pastime;
a weapon of the weak and the
fearful. 1t has little place in a
democracy, especially a demo-
cracy that guarantees freedom
of speech and press In a written
Costitution.

By Mrs. Edna Lamkin

Funeral services for Mrs.
Floyd Rhodes were conducted
last Sunday at 2 pm. in Thank
full Baptist church. Rev. j. G.
Roach officiating. Mrs. Rhodes
was an outstanding character in
our community and we shall all
miss her. She leaves to mourn
their loss her husband, Floyd
Rhodes, a daughter, Hattie Lolu
and one son Charles Huff of
Williamson. The Ladies Auxi-
liaries of Local 6495 of William
Anne and 6,OOO1 of Puritan
Mines held a short service at
the church and accompanied
the body to it's final resting plae.
On Monday morning quite a
Juror was stirred up when Mrs.
Alice Frazier with a As calibre
revolver in hand walked into the
company store at Puritan and
threatened the life of Floyd
Rhodes if he did not accompany
her home. The store when Alice
arrived was full of people but in
few minutes you couldn't find
people or clerks. Some were un-
der counters, others in the ice
box, anywhere they felt safe.
The state police soon arrived and
took Mrs. Frazier before Squire
Kirkendall, and in pleading
guilty for carrying a weapon
was given one year in jail and a
fine of one hundred dollars.
1t was really sad to see how
many of our race Tuesday sold
their birthright for a mess of
pottage. What is the Negro
looking for in return for selling
his vote to the Democratic party
and boasting of it? Doesn't he
know that when he receives one
or two dollars, and his beer,
whiskey and sandiches, that he
has received all he will get, and
one reason that is all he will get
is because he is not in ernest nor
sincere in what he was doing. He
was out for what he could get !;
End, Negroes of this type are
NOT qualified for any position,
unless it's a mental job, like
scrubbing, hopping or cleaning
receptacles. Several years ago
I was visiting Harpers Ferry,
w. Va, during election a nd 1
was Mortified to see cars go to
the homes of people and t a k e
them to the polls to vote. Some
were very old and decrepit, and
had never been in an automobile
on questioning them about their
vote I learned they couldn't read
or write and just for a few cents
were going to vote as they were
very essential that the lower
masses of people, ought to be
taught the meaning of voting.
Delve into as near as you can
what it will mean to you and the
people in general, what the can
didates hope to do. know some
thing about the men you want
to represent you, learn to think,
and act, for yourself sometime
when you meet the issue.

When the Millennium
Will Come to Humanity
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star.
Africa has it's savages, America had
its Indians, China has it's bandits and
America now has its tigers instead of
Indians. AS children we all grew up
together, played together and went to
school together, Catholic, Protestant and
Jew AS soon as we grow up and put
on long pants and tuck our hair up we
are transformed into tigers-at least q
large portion of us.
The whole thought in such peoples
minds is to claw at every one not of their
particular den. Every one seems to
think that If their particular church
would rule supreme that there would be
millennium. There have been various
times in the worlds history when such
q condition existed, but there was no
millennium. On the contrary, those pe-
riods were the worst in history.
The millennium will come when "the
lion and lamb lie down together" not
when the lamb is inside of the lion. We
could have a millennium tomorrow if
people wanted it. Most people do not
want 1t. Their millennium is to be on ton
and torture everybody in reach. If thev
are subdued and the others arise. we are
apt to have the same trouble over again
Pain OF long duration is hard to forget
and there is always the thought of
revenge when one is liberated. Hence
the millennium has q difficult time to
force itself upon US. F. LANDING.

want person bred
To ways refined who is inclined
To poetry and art.
No sordid roll will e'er control
The dictates of my heart"
And soon in truth. she found a youth
With lovely curly hair
And hazel eyes; he was a prize
With a complexion fair.
And he would play by night and day
Upon light guitar,
Cut figure eights on roller skates
And run a motor car.
Oh, chapter two is soon run through.
The honeymoon was brief.

Her travelling suit was smartly cute.

A sweet refrain: "Toot toot!" This trai,

Japan's Panay indemnify
The Second in Its History
To the Editor Of The Star:

10 the Eoltor OF The Star:
Your readers, no doubt, have read of
the indemnity payment made recently
by the Japanese government for the
unfortunate and unWarranted bombing
OF the Panay. In addition to that gov
ernments reparation, thousands of
Japanese made individual contributions
Tor the survivors and families of the
victims.
Recently I read of an occurrence in
1868, known as the Shimonoseki affair.
The Japanese government issued an Or
der the early part of 1863 for expulsion
OF all foreigners after June Is of that
year.
The Japs fired upon a small American
steamer passing through the Strait of
Sh1monoseki on June 26 and upon q
french and Dutch boat in July. The
powers sent an expedition to Shimono-
sehl' destroyed one OF six batteries,
burned a small village, etc The con-
vention in settlement of the affair fixed
indemnity at s3,000OO0. of which the
American share was s785,OOO. This sum
was paid in full by Japan
Our Congress passed bill in 1888 to
return the money to Japan. plus accumu-
lated interest thereon. The japanese
decided that the funds should be ex-
pended in some work that would perpet-
uate in lasting, useful and visible form
the good will of the United States.
Thus was built the breakwater in the
Harbor of Yokohama.
The full details of the above incident
will be found in Akagi's "Japan's For
eign Relations, 1542-1936" etc.

Fulham-London and Ipswich, Conserva-
tives were defeated by Labor candidates.
Particularly In the London and Birming-
ham districts, Chamberlain's foreign
policy-specifically his "childlike faith
in dictators," as the Laborite winner of
last weeks contest put twas the issue
on which the by-elections were fought
and on which the government was sound
ly trounced.
Numerically the loss of three seats in
Commons, which the Chamberlainites
rule by some such topheavy majority as
the New Deal possesses in Congress, but
which is far more tractable phalanx
than Mr.. Roosevelt is finding the Demo-
crates to be, is meaningless. Only day
or two ago. for instance, the government
rolled up vote of 400 to ITS, more or less,
for approval of the Anglo-Italian deal
sanctioning the conquest of Ethiopia and
the Fascist invasion of Spain.
But the pendulum, as those reliable
ticks of the political clock called by-elec-
tlons are now showing is swinging in the
other direction. Susceptible as British
governments traditionally are to changes
OF popular temperature, it is plain that
Neville Chamberlain is taking notice of
what that all-potent factor in Britain,
the man in the street, thinks of Birmine-
nam diplomacy and the "city" wire-
pullers who are debating it. The aver
age voter clearly is becoming progress
sively discontented with a policy that
Justlfies the epithet of perfidious Albion.
AS for the Czechoslovaks, they register
commendable unreadiness to make
Anglo = French recommended "conces-
sions' to burglarious Germany without
commensurate guarantees of protection
from the egoists on the Thames and the

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

This comes about because these fan
tails have comet and other types OF
blood in their veins. Let no one feel
that fish do not have blood as we know
it. They bleed as freely as we do, and
have even a more marvellous blood sys-
tenn. Many humans speak OF them as
ld-blooded," as if that were some
thing against fish, whereas the fact is
that, the fishs blood is q wonderful
adaptation. 1t is not cold, except in
the sense that it is able to take on the
temperature Of the water In which the
fish swims. If it could not do this. the
animal would die. It is a provision OF
Nature which has been worked out over
the centuries. Goldfish, for instance,
may be frozen, with their blood at freez-
ing temperature, and still live. Investi-
gators declare that as long as the heart,
itself, Is not frozen solid, the fish can
live.
Fish Of the same genus mate, but not
when they belong to a different genus
Different species of the same genus
often mate and have young.
But goldfish will not mate with min
nows, unless those "minnows" happen to
belong to, some branch of the aforemen-
toned carp family.
There are two ways new and strange
looking fish get into pool.
One is because the young fish, usually
Matched out during the spring, revert to
some of the other blood in the line.
They become perfect little calico"
fsh, for instance when their parents
seemed simply typical goldfish with flow-
ing tails.
II the owner has never seen calico fish,
and particularly if he placed some wild
mlnnoWs in the pool, he will think that
ne has made a great discovery.
Strange fishes often are introduced
into a closed pool by the planting of
new plants in it.
The eggs are on the roots.
IaKlng kindly to their new home, thev
hatch out. and the first thing the pool
owner knows, there are scores of little
fishes Of queer sort.
The water hyacinth, with it's great root
system, is one of the most usual plants
Tor this sort of Introduction.
Goldfish breeders often use the water
hyaclnth for this purpose. owing to it's
matt of roots, which catch the goldfish
eggs as they drop
Inc roots then may be lifted from the
pool, and transferred to another body
OF water where there are no mature fish
TO eat the eggs.
determining the sex of the goldfish is
not easy. The male fish. at breeding
time, is supposed to have little proiec-
tons on the head, but quite often the
female flsh has much the same erowths

apart by observing their actions. Here,
