The colored race will never OBJ
tain any degree of economic secu-
rity until they learn to discrimi-
nate and concentrate their buying
with those companies that give
them equal employment opportuni-
ties.
Last year Colored consumers in
discriminatory spent over $4,000
900 for toothpaste.
Over $11 100000 was spent in
advertising by four of the popular
brands of tcothpaste in 1896. Col
cato spent $3,977, 1882, Ipana spent
$3,476, 1898, Listerine spent $2,207,-
372, and Pepsodent spent $1,612,-
151.
Because the Colored consumers
did not discriminate and concen-
trate their buying on any particu-
lar brand of tocthpaste, not one
of these companies spent any of
this $11,000,O00 for advertising in
the Negro Press.
If the Negro buyer had nee
trated his buying on just che of
these brands of toothpaste, the
increased sales of this brand would
warrant the company to advertise
in the Negro press and employ Ne
groes in their factories and as sales
representatives.
Toothpaste advertisements have
influenced millions of people to
brush their teeth properly and save
them from decay. They have ex-
riAiz-i IN very day language of
the people that poisons from de-
csyed, Injected or unclean teeth
can permanently impair the most
vital organs and the most remote
parts of the body.
Since these companies have adj
vertised only in the white press,
the colcred consumers have not
been getting the full benefit of the
$4,000, 900 spent for toothpaste.
Ii the millions of colored peo-
pie would read their own papers
and %patronize their advertised
products they would be spending
their money with companies that
want their patronage and are will
ling to give them equal employ
ment opportunities.
See your dentist at least twice
4 year. There are over 1000 Col
ored dentists in this country-pa-
tronize them, they need and de-
serve your support.
For economic security, buy only
hose brands of toothpaste that
ire advertised in your Colored
newspapers.

New York, Aug. 25 (CNA)-
When Father Divine took two ex-
cursion boatloads Of his Angels"
up to Krum Elbow on the Hudson
opposite the estate of President
Roosevelt, the members of New
Yorks leading white dailies had a
field day with pictures) and
plentucus mention of pork chops,
chicken, watermelons, trucking,
hallelujahs and minstrel humor.
They interviewed Mrs. Roose-
vel. and learned tina she, diplom-
aically, was happy that the estate
was to be Heaven" for some peo-
pie. They interviewed Father Di-
vino and discovered, later, that
what they said he said, he hadn't
said. They interviewed Rowland
Spencer, former owner of the 500
acre estate and bitter enemy eff
President Roosevelt, who sold the
valuable piece of property to Fa-
Their Divine. Everyone of the
bright young men who covered
the story had a swell time being
clever.
Everything was very funny, but
when they all stopped laughing
Father Divine still had a lovely
500 acre estate in one of the fin
est locations in New York, COM
plete with houses, gardens and
boats where he and his angels
will be able to enjoy themselves
] their way and for as long
as they care to.
And maybe me of the things
that will add to their enjoyment
will be the fact that theirs is the
last laugh after all.

HELP FOR TEACHERS OF
SAFETY

Educators throughout the eoun-
try hailed the Inauguration last
mcnth at New York University of
a nationa leenter for safety edu-
cation, the first of its kind IN the
United States, which has been
made possible under a special
grant of funds by the National
Conservation Bureau Of the Asso-
citation of Casualty and Surety Ex-
ecutives. It's principal object is to
[ ach teachers how 10 teach safety
bur its facilities will be open TO all
wis have a practical concern in
its interests.
This is not the first time that
the stock casualty insurance COM
panies who maintain and admins
ter the National Conservation
Bureau have appeared in the safe
" movement began in 1922, theirs
has been a most important influ-
ence in the acceptance by schools
everywhere of SAFETY education as
a major and practical part of the
regular curriculum.
Tho legislatures or the depart
ments of education in nearly every
state now requires some form OF
safety instruction for grade school
children. The results are wildly
shown in a phenomenal saving OF
child lives, The accident fatality
rate in the age group of five to
fourteen years since 1922 has de-
creased Is per cent. Meanwhile the
rnte for all ages combined has in
creased "a per cent.
With the Inauguration of New
York University's center for safe
ty Education, a new phase in the
safety education movement begins.
For some time the need has not
been to convince educators of the
importance of safety instruction,
but rather to nj dthem in making
their courses moro effective
through the development of sound
teaching practices and materials.
This job New York University has
now undertaken. The experiment.
will be watched with inter st by
a public which is seeking despera-
teiy fer means with which to re-
duce Americas CHASTITY toll of ac-
cidcntal deaths and injuries.

Those qualities of heart and mind
did not pass unnoticed; his bishop

in which to exercise his zeal and
transferred him to parish duty in
his own native city of Draguignan.
For seven years also in this new ca

be still at the same post today, had
not Divine Providence, in the per-
son of Right Rev. H. Granjon,
Bishop of Tucson, brought radi-
cal change to the tenure of life of
Father Duval.
In 1903 Bishop Granjon was con-
fronted with the difficult task of
providing priests for Arizona; he
could not recruit ecclesiastics from
the East; they were all needed due
to the rapid growth of the Catholic
population. He then resolved to
initiate his predecessors, Salpointe
and Bourgade, and went to France
as they had done before. He visit
ed a number of seminaries, inter
viewed clergymen and got in touch
with prospective volunteers that
would accompany him back to Ari-
zona. The Bishop had been a school
mate of Father Duval at st. Sui
pice; they both chanced to meet in
the house of a mutual friend in
Lyons; at once the conversation
was monopolized by the Bishop who
expatiated on the needs of his Ari-

Monsignor Duval, whose 50th an
nivessary as priest will be cele-
brated Wednesday, was born in
Draguignan, France, in 1864.
He early manifested a desire to
enter the ranks of the priesthood; !;
as a consequence he was sent to
Avignon, the old city of the Popes,
where the Jesuits conducted a col
lege for boys with a religious in
clination. He graduated with hon
orable mention, a distinction &C
corded only to pupils of superior
accomplishments. From the college
of Avignon he passed the ma
jor seminary of ST. Sulpice in
Paris. The abbe Ouval followed the
various courses as then prescribed
and prepared in that secluded re-
treat for the great day of his or
dination. June 24th, 1888 he took
the irrevocable step that separated
him forever from the world and

listers, being elevated to the Holy
Priesthood at the hands of the
Bishop of F'revus.
After a brief vacation in the
midst of his family the newly or
dained abbe was appointed pro-
feSSor of mathematics in the prep
aratory college of Brignole, in the
of the Var. For seven
years he labored at the ungrateful
task of driving into the recalcitrant
heads the abstruse science Of num-
bers and related subjects, with what
success is left to the judgment of
the reader, but this much is pos
itively known from information re-
ceived that the professor formed
bond of friendship between him
self and his pupils which has last
ed even to this day; notable
achievement which supposes an in
