cause, it is the fuse that fails, opening
the circuit, not some hidden wire.
The best advice. then. is not to
monkey with fuses The average dwell
ing today is equipped with No. II
wire which calls for a l5-ampere fuse
A l5A fuse. in turn, will carry about
1900 watts of work on the average
house line today, SO the first rule is:
don't operate appliances and lights on
any one circuit whose total pull
(plalnly marked on plate affixed to
each appllance) exceeds 1900 watts.
Ranges and other special installations,
of course, are usually on individual
circuits specially fused.
If fuses begin to blow with normal
load on the line. then call either the
public service company or a qualified
electrician to determine the cause.
Don't under any circumstances insert
heavier fuses A 3O-ampere fuse. for
instance, is plenty strong enough to
hold while the wiring in the wall gets
red-hot from the excessive resistance
which blew the l5-ampere fuse. So
putting in the 30 is as futile as plugging
up the rathole - and leaving the rat
in the wall! And far more dangerous.

Wants No
Wage Difference
In North, South

Washington, May 28-Opposi-
ton to any geographical differen-
tial IN the wages and hours bill
has been expressed to congress-
men and senators by the National
Association for the Advancement
Of Colored People.
The association has taken the
position that if a lower wage is
placed in the bill for southern
states, this will be unfair Compel
ition with manufacturers in north
ern states. It is known that the as
soeiation believes that the real OPP
position to a universal wage scale
on the part of southern congress-
men is the fear chat Negro work.
ers in the South will be guaran-
teed the same wage as other work
ers. Even though the wages and
hours bill provides only (at the
beginning) a of % cents and hour.
this is far above the scale now
received by Negroes in many ar
cas- of the South.
The New York Daily News in
an editorial some weeks ago put
its finger on the key point of the
southern opposition by saying that
southern congressman opposed the
bill because they thought it
would spoil the Negroes"
In many places in the South,
Negroes are working for five, sew
en- apd eight dollars a week.
whereas this bill, if passed would
give them a minimum wage of $40
a week
The NAACP in its letter to con
gressmen pointed out that there Is
no reasonable faeual basis for the
contention that it costs less to live
in one section of the United States
than in another.
The necessity of the Negro being
constantly on the alert to fight
against d%ifferentials was i%llustrat-
ed last week by the statement of
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississip-
nj in which he declared that as
the old NRA codes. It will be re-
membered that in 1888 and 1884
the NAACP and other organiza-
tions sought to arouse the country
on the danger of the p~reeedents
being established by the different
ais were thinly disguised as geo
graphical, but in reality were ra-
cial. In the MIRA laundry code, for
exmple, wages in the Deep South
states were set at Ia cents ard
hous, but in northrn states at q
cents an hour. In the NRA steel
code, Pittsburgh wages were 40
cents an hour, but Birmingham.
Ala. steel workers got only 81
cents. Now the ghost of the NRA
wage codes, which were grossly
unfair to Negroes, rises to haunt
the wages and hours bill.
There is evidence, however that
there will be stiff opposition to
any differentials and the bill will
be passed as drawn.

has been customary for the st.

Despite cancellation of their in

cadets and a small group of nom
commissioned officers visited the

CZechs to Assure
Equality for Races

Prague, Czechoslovakia, May %
(CNA)-The Czech Government
this week answered the threat of
German invasion by firmly adher-
ing to its collective security pact
with the Soviet Unions and at the
same time rushing to completion
a new statute granting minor
groups additional rights and privi-
leges.
The Government spurned British
Tory Proposals to accept the de-
mands of Konrad Henlein. Hitler
chieftain in Czechoslovakia, to
split up the Central European
country into fascist-run "%cantons.'
Well-informed sources said the
new minority statute will grant
equality to all nationalities within
the country, including an adequate
share of government jobs, and
abolition of the dominant race

Theatre Man jailed
For Showing Picture

Orange, N. j., May 2s-Adolph
j. Rettig, manager of the ormont
theatre here, has been arrested for
exhibiting the race-hating film.
"rhe Birth of a Nation
The warrant for his arrest was
worn out by DR.. Theodore X. Ingc,
president of the Orange branch of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
under a New Jersey law passed in
1885 designed originally to curb
Nazi propaganda. The law bans
any picture (which in any way in
cites, promotes, advocates or SYM
bolizes hatred, violence or hostil-
ity against any group of persons
by reaons of race, color, religion
or manner worship"
The Ormont theatre exhibited the
film May Oil over the protest Of
the Orange branch Of the NAAGP.
The branch secured more than 600
signatures to a petition asking the
city councicl to forbid the show
ing of the film. After the first two
days of its exhibition, some parts
were deleted, but DR.. Inge main
tanned that the entire film should
be withdrawn and accordingly
swore out the warrant under the
1885 law.
Franklin J.. McGlynn, attorney
for the theatre mapager, stated
that he did not see why anyone
would object to the film because
at had been exhibited for more
than twenty years" The national
office of the NAACP informed
the Orange branch that it had
compiled a record showing that the
film at one time or another has
been banned in eighteen states be-
cause it has BEEN adjudged to be
an Indictment to riot and hatred.
The Essex county grand jury will
take up the Rettig case.
Mr.. McGlinn said he would call
David Wark Griffith, producer of
the film, as a witness and have
him tell how he assemled his ma
terial for the Reconstruction per-
iod scenes of the picture. The pic
ture glorifies the Ku Klux Khan
and paints the Negro race as COM
posed of brutes and rapists.

Would Send American Negroes to Liberia
Lawyers Finally Settle
Case Out OF Court

Washington, May 2S-The court
action by which the National ASS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People was seeking a per-
manent injunction against certain
former officers of its District of
Columbia branch who had incorpor-
ated the branch as a separate and
Independent body was settled May
10 by an agreement between op-
posing counsel.
The agreement was made, ac-
eording to a statement of counsel,
"in order that the work of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People may go
forward IN the District of Column
bia with unified effort and utmost
vigor." Counsel in the case issued
a joint statement that it was not
a question of seeking victory as
between the parties, but a question
of getting NAACP work started
again in the District of Columbia.
The amicable adjustment pro-
vided that the District of Column
bia corporation would be dis
solved; that officers elected Janu-
airy Is, 1897, would be considered
in office until the next regular
election; that each side would pay
its own costs and counsel fees;
that the rationrl board of direct
ors would rescind its revocation of
the charter of the District of Col
umbia branch, and that the terms
of the agreement would not go
into effect until ratified by the
rational board of directors and
the executive committee of the un-
incorporated branch.
The court action by the national
body was taken primarily because
three officers of the District of
Columbia branch. without the
knowledge or consent of the ma
tional board of directors and with
out the knowledge and consent of
the executive committee of their
own branch, incorporated the Dis
trict of Columbia branch as a
separate and independent corpor-
ton in March, 1887. The incorpor-
alton move was made in order to
avoid obeying the instructions of
the national board of directors to
hold a new election in place of the
January Is, 1897, election which
had been protested as illegal.
A temporary injunction against
the use of the name District of
Columbia branch of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People" had been issu-
ed in July, 1897 by Justice Jen-
nings Bailey against the former
officers. This injunction will be
set aside when the agreement is
ratified by the national board of
directors and the board of directors
of the District of Columbia The
national board of directors will
consider the terms of the agree
ment at its regular meeting ON
June 10.

Men and women can have bor-

The Mayo Clinic takes slices of
mans shin bone and transplants
them to a weakened backbone.
These new parts are held along

In one realm, embryology, sci

But this is useless for man, ex-
