Cny Associated PressI

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Best
available reports are that the
President is thoroughly sold on
the national necessity of an air
fleet approaching 10000 planes
and viii ask Congress to finance
il, perhaps over a two or three
year period.
Estimated cost is pure guess
work because of the varying cost
of different types of planes but
an outlay of half billion dollars
should not be surprising. 1t may
be considerably more but it is
not likely to be a great deal less.
Not only must the planes be
bought but many of them will
have to be replaced by different
force. The present air force av.
erages 10 men to a plane, even
at eight men to a plane, the new
program would mean an air
force of 10000, half the size of
the whole army at present. The
1898 airforce is 10000 men and
officers.
Exciting reports have come
from Berlin as to the potentiality
of the German mass production
of air planes. 1t is generally ex-
pected that President Roosevelt
will make public some of them
20 bolster his proposals to Con-
greSs.

FISCUS, Ia, Dec. 24.-The Fis-
Gus municipal waterworks
hopes soon to double its patron
age-and when it does, it will
have six customers.
Housed in a shed about the
size of a St. Bernard dog house,
the waterworks serves three
homes. There are six families in
Fiscus.
1t was built by Elmer and Har-
ry Jorgensen, who claim it is the
smallest Waterworks in the
world. 1t really isn't a municipal
project, they admit, for Fiscus
isn't incorporated.
It consists of a three-quarter
horsepower motor pumping well
water into a 100-gallon pressure
tank. The tank maintains 80
pounds pressure in the mains.

A CONSUMERS COOPERATIVE
By Herbert Howell

The organization of the Sumner
Sweet Shop into Consumers Co.
operative Store gets under way.
The North Side is being canvassed
and the people are responding
intellectually to the cause.
People everywhere have begun to
realize that if they want a better
economic order they must have
businesses of their own.
The Sumner Sweet Shop is not
combining its work to the North
Side. Rather, the cooperative is a
project that includes all of the
Twin City Negroes and their in
telligent and helpful white friends.
The major purpose of any CO.
operative store is to serve all
people with quality goods at the
current market prices. Glasses are
in session now at 514 Lyndale Ave.
No, which explain how a coopera-
tive store differs from a private
store. Other homes have been
opened for meetings also.
Call Bridgeport 6938 for any
other information.

Here And
There
By w. M. Smith

We were having a most interest
ing discussion at a recent meeting
of a society given over to such en-
tertainment. We were attempting
to decide What the Negro Wants"
and with unusual unanimity we had
about agreed that what he (the
NegrO) wants is just about par
alleled to what the rest of the folks
want: his guarantees under the
Constitution, and an opportunity to
apply them effectively and equally
to his economic status.
But at this point a member, who
had thus far sat quietly through
the discussion, claimed the floor
and advanced this thought: that
the proof of a desire to have an
opportunity is the willingness to
use the opportunity when it ap-
pears.
The speaker recounted a number
of experiences in which valuable
opportunities had been lost be-
cause no effort had been made to
use them.
All of which had inclined the
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1938-01-28

speaker to believe that our people
did not want an opportunity if it
called for sustained effort, physical
or mental.
We sat in rather panied silence
after the speaker had finished.
All of us had had similar ex-
periences time without number and
their recalled memory did have the
effect of making us sympathetic
with the doubt expressed.
So many times we had witnessed
lack of cooperation in situations
holding out opportunity. So many
times little display of personal in
terest would have helped over the
bumps to some worth while accom-
plishment, a project that failed for
lack of it.

But, while instance after inst lance
of such occurrence could be readily
cited and their untoward influence
be as readily accepted, there is yet
a question as to whether all this
goes to prove that the Negro group
does not want the things it has
not always developed the initiative
to acquire. For this is not charac-
teristic of the Negro people alone.
The world at large is filled with
people blind to their own best in
terests, unmindful or unaware of
the necessity of cooperation and the

Hernia Should Be
Corrected
By DIR. w. ID. Brown

A hernia, commonly called rup-
ture, is the protrusion of body or
gan through the wall of a cavity
normally holding the organ. The
most common hernias are those
through the abdominal wall, es-
pecially in the region of the groin.
These latter are called inguinal or
femOral hernias depending upon the
exact location. The most common
organ that protrudes is a loop of
the intestines. When the individ-
ual strains, coughs, or moves about,
pressure from within forces the or
gan out if the wall is not sufficient
ly strong. When he is quiet or in
a recumbent position, the organ
will go back into place because of
a release of intra-abdominal pres
sure.
The danger of a hernia lies in
the fact that the organ may not be
able to get back into it's normal
position but may be held by con-
stricting band composed of the
margins or edges of the rent in the
abdominal wall. This is painful
and may lead to intestinal obstruc-
ton which, in turn, must be re-
Geved Immediately or death will
ensue.
Treatment of this condition is
palliative or remedial. The former
deals with the application of some
exterpa!' apparatus :tq strengthen

tanned. However, to effect cure,
the abdominal wall must be
strengthened so that the opening
is eradicated. This may be done
in two ways. First, and time
honored, is an open operation which
repairs the rent in the wall. Sec
Ond is the newer method of injec-
ton of irritants into the abdominal
wall to stimulate the tissues to re-
pair themselves. Both methods
have their special indication. When
possible the injection method is to
be preferred because it does not
require disqualification or time off
from work.
Hernias should be taken care of
while small because the tissues are
then stronger and repair is easier;
likewise, the possibility of recur-
renee is less.

To the Editor:
In May, 1887, the Credjafawn So
cial Club held it's regular meeting
at the home of Miss Adele Graham,
1882 Rondo Street. The speaker
of the evening was Mrs. Alverta
Corum of st. Paul. Her subject
was Cooperative. From this, de-
rived the Credjafawn Credit Union,
open to junior and senior members
only.
Mrs. Corum, as instructor, and
eleven Credjafawn members stud
led the plans for a Credit Union.
After studying for a while a
credit union was established with
a charter from the Minnesota State
Banking Association. A board of
directors and committees were ap-
pointed and the treasurer bonded.
The union was ready for business
June 9, 1887.
With Mr.. John R. Lawrence, Jr.,
as president of the board of di-
,rectors, and Mr., Huron J. Shelton,
Jr., as treasurer, the union has
progressed greatly.
On January 10, 1888, a general

would still be accidents in Waterbury, just as there are in other cities. You could surround this aldermanic task with all the ramifications possible and still ac- cidentS would occur. They are neither dependent on this aldermanic action nor at all influenced by it. We have always had coasting accidents in Waterbury, some of them most tragic, and we pre- sume so long as children continue to slide on streets and automobiles are made, we'll continue to have them.
 We see no reason to find fault with the aldermen for delaying this annual task until after the first snowfall If there was any desire to cudgel city officials for allowing our youngsters to be maimed and killed by crashing into motionless vehicles on slippery streets, it might be that we don't put a close ban on all street. sliding That's the only way street acci- dents could be prevented. And the only way you could do that would be to quad ruple the police force and assign men to all the hilly districts when sliding is good and children are out of school That would force the city to build slides in the parks or on private land where there were slopes.
 To our way of thinking the only legiti- mate complaint about sliding in Water bury is the same that can be voiced in other cities where streets are utilized for this sport - it hasn't yet exercised full control over the pastime
