dustrial Reform Party and Prohibi-
ton Party Presidential nominees.
The Union Labor party amassed 146,-
900 votes, The United Labor Party
2,818 more. The Union Labor Party
had inherited the following of the old
Labor Reform Party, formed in 1872.
In 1888, labor political organization
in this country was just 60 years DID,
The Workingmen's Party, which
seems to have been the first labor
collective action group in the coun-
try, had been formed in PHILADELPHIA
in 1928, when Karl Marx was 10
years old, and had passed into history
before Ferdinand LaSalle got the So
cial Democrat Party in Germany es-
tablished three-quarters of a century
ago this year.
It was another American Working
mems Party that was reorganized in
1878 sthe Socialistic Labor Party,
with MARKHAM principles. Such SIM
ilarities in names make difficult the
study of the chronology of collective
labor political activity in this country.
Labor organization really got start
ed in the Eighties, but in unions
whose leaders sought to WELD in
fluence upon established major part
les rather than in independent politi-
cal groups. The country was still
mainly agricultural, and industrial
workers were in the minority. Only
25 percent of the. population lived in
towns of 5000 and up. The campaign
that started so years ago this sum-
mer was the first in which a labor
party in this country ever polled
more than 100000 votes, and it can be
called the beginning of the climb OF
the working class chieftains to su-
preme power.

Bowl Over Long Course

Bowling in Fire is done on the
open roadway and bears no resem-
blance to the more sedate variety
popular in America. In Fire it is a
game of strength as well as skill.
Usually two men from widely sep
arated places are the contestants,
each being backed by the entire
population of his own town. The
course is Of three TO four miles in
length, the idea being to negotiate
the distance to an agreed upon pub
lie house in the fewest number of
throws using a 28-ounce iron ball.
The game is most popular in the
County Cork where the best of the
bowlers can throw the heavy ball
about 70 yards with an additional
roll of about hundred yards.

Kaifeng, China, Founded
About TAO Before Christ

Kaifeng, on the east-west Lunghai
railway in central China, was built
by Duke Chwang about TAO B. c.,
and once was the eastern capital Of
China. The city once had popu-
lation of about 175,000 and was the
capital of Honan province.
AS one of the earliest settlements
of the Chinese in China, Kaifeng
has seen its name changed many
times as dynasties rose and fell.
Following Duke Chwang, who
named it Kaifeng, meaning to mark
off kaD the boundary Of his fef
(feng), the Chow, Suy, and Tang
dynasties called the city Pienchow
from the years 567 to GOT. During
the five dynasties of the Wutai,
from GOT to $50, it was Tungking, or
eastern capital
When the Yuan or Mongol dynas-
ty came into power in 1850, the
name was changed to Pienliang,
but with the establishment of the
Ming dynasty in 1868 it again be-
came Kaifeng.
When the Yuan or Mongol dynas-
ty came into power in 1860, the
name was changed to Pienliang, but
with the establishment of the Ming
dynasty in 1868 it again became
Kaifeng. -...
Floods and rebel bands have at
tackled the city many times during
its history, but each time it was
reconstructed. The wall, pierced by
five gates, afforded some protec-
ton, and its broad streets and beau
tiful buildings are imposing evil
dences of the city's determination to
survive. A history pagoda rises 600
feet and is the tallest structure with
in the city's ancient wall. A watch
tower 200 feet high affords a look
out for approaching flood waters
from the Yellow river.
Jews who entered China in 1853
A. D., established their first colony
at Kaifeng. Remnants Of the an
Gent and once prosperous Jewish
colony still live there.

Poetic Thoughts
Picnicking
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

Summertime is the for picnics, .... 81.
For old and young go in for all the knick-knacks
That make our baskets overflow r..
With all the goodies that they love so. . ...
Early in the morning we leave to go,
By bus, train for trolleys are now too slow,
Excitement is at high pitch for the Riddles want
Everyone to be their way for this pleasure jaunt
At last we arrive at our destinations end
And look for shady spot for we're ready to spend
Our time in getting ready for wonderful spread
That we know is ready, and we're hungry to be fed
When all is over the remnants are gathered
For each has had his fill and nothing else mattered
Until hunger is appeased and then they scatter
In all directions with their childish patter.,
Night comes and the weary picnickers wend
Their way home and plan to spend
Another day for picncs a summertime delight
Because in winter the days shorter than the nights

Edinburg Castle Stands
High on Its Mighty Rock

Strong and grim, Edinburgh
castle stands high on its mighty
rock. So standing, it becomes a
fitting sentinel for the gray, stony,
primIy beautiful city it overlooks; it
is a monument curiously symbolical
of the austere Scottish landscape
and people; it is reminiscent of the
dour, memorable John Knox, Of the
mighty Bruce, of Wallace and his
great two-handed sword, Of the
Black Douglas, of Comyn and Mo-
ray and Montrose and all the other
stern and stiff-necked chieftains Of
that harsh land, recalls H. c. CARR
son, writing in the Detroit News.
The castle and rock have been
bombarded with everything from a
hurtling stone out Of a catapult in
the late Middle ages to Zeppelin
bomb in 1916; and still they stand,
unmoved and changeless.
The first castle was built on the
rock about 100 by King Malcolm
Canmore, who would have been for
gotten long since had he not bull
the castle and had he not succeeded
to the throne of that Macbeth whom
Shakespeare immortalized. The
principal remainder of that frs
castle is the chapel Malcolm bull
for his wife, now called st. Mar
garet's chapel.

Insects Have Enemies

An insect has no enemy like an
other insect which preys upon it.
One-half of the worlds insects live
on the other half. We're it not for
this balance that Mother Nature pro-
vided, it is believed that certain
types of insects would long ago have
overpopulated the earth and con-
sumed all vegetation, without which
neither man, bird, nor beast could
survive. Birds, frogs, lizards and
animals whose diets consist chiefly
Of insects, while keeping down the
population of injurious insects, also
curtail the numbers Of the beneficial
insects. Therefore they are not
nearly so important in insect con-
troll as are the predacious insects.

Here And
There
By w. M. SEnith

The general public, for reasons
not too hard to understand, has an
Unborn prejudice against hospitals.
This is especially true of hOspi-
tai where tuberculosis is treated. l
have always regarded this situa-
:;en rs most unfortunate where the
Negro group is concerned for as a
rule we need disqualification more
frequently than other folks and ii
is agreed that our people are more
subject to the ravages of tuber.
culOsis than are members of the
white group.
Medical authorities are thor
oughly convinced that the best
possible place for sick person is
hospital where every scientific
care is available and where a
trained personnel brings to service
its learning and its experience.
In the case of tuberculOus pa
tient, early and careful attention
are the great essentials. After a
visit to the magnificent Glen Lake
SanatOrium this week | am more
than eager to convey to all my peO-
pie who stand in need of its SER
vices the very splendid equipment
and set-up of this Hennepin county
institution and how it places its
helpful aid for all to use without
stint, without cost and without ia
vOr of race or creed.
The history of this institution is
so intensely interesting and the de-
velopment of its widespread activi-
ties so marvelously beneficial that
it can not be given just appraisal
in one article.
l hope in future issues and at
various times to tell of its wonder
full aid in many fields aside from
that of health restoration. Suffice
it now to say that its present great
building, which resembles a mod
ern hotel, is a logical development
governed by the experiences of its
growth. This is largely the result
ing influence of the Hennepin
County tuberculosis Association as
it has induced legislatures to grant
to the counties of the state en-
abling acts making possible build
ing and supervision of these units
in place of one state controlled in
stitution.
Twenty-Five years ago when such
action was authorized, methods
were much simpler and much less
effective. Then it was accepted
that patients should be isolated
and given as much fresh air as
| possible. So tents were first used.
Then cottage units were estab-
lished. The years have determined
that tuberculOus patients need the
same careful attention, good food
and nursing as any other sick per-
sons must have.
Therefore tents, cottages and I'M
limited fresh air have been aband-
oned in favor of the scientific mod
ern structure with it's competent
staff of nurses and administrators
housed in its more than 100000
building, capable of caring for all
of $50 patients. These are divided
into 700 adults, 60 children and 100
in summer camps.

BouIIe Was a Cabinetmaker

The word 'boulle," to antiques en-
thusiasts, has come to connote a
type of marquetry, or inlay, that
consists Of bits of tortoise shell and
brass set in combination into the
wood surface of a piece Of furni-
ture. Actually Boulle was premier
cabinetmaker of the epoch of Louis
XIV, and although the turquoise and
brass marquetry technique had al
ready been used in France before
he began his career, he was almost
exclusively responsible for its pop
ularity.

excluded) in America are colored.
Four of the larger soap manu-
facturers spent over $12,000,000 to
advertise their products for one
year. From my own observations,
not one of these manufacturers
found it necessary to spend any of
this amount in the Negro press.
In 1886 these companies spent
the following amounts for adver-
Using.
l. The Proctor and Gamble Com
pany, manufacturers of Palm Olive
Soap, Chipso, Ivory Flakes and
Ivory Snow, spent $5,S76,146 for
advertising.
2. The Colgate Palmolive-Peet
Company, manufacturers of Palm
Olive Soap, Cashmere Bouquet
Soap, Super Suds and Concentrated
Super Suds, spent $2,969,577 for
advertising.
3. The Lever Brothers Company,
manufacturers of Lux, Rinse, and
Lifebuoy Soap, spent $2,803, 603 for
advertising.
A. The Fels Naptha Company,
manufacturers of Fels Naptha,
Soap and Chips, spent $4SO,719 for
advertising.
If these soap manufacturers had
spent only one per cent of their ad-
vertising in the colored newspapers
the income of these papers would
have been greater, by $121,3O0 in
that year. These new advertisers
would have had to employ colored
statesmen to back up their adver-
tisements and to promote the sale
of their products in this market.
The increased revenue of $121, 300
would enable the colored news
papers to give employment for one
year to seventy-fve or more col
ored youths.
About ten years ago the Lever
Brothers made a bid for colored
patronage by advertising the mer-
its of their products in the colored
newspapers. They employed col
ored lecturers and participated in
colored cooking schools. This COM
pany is still enjoying a consider
able amount of colored patronage.
Every colored housewife is an
important buyer of soap and soap
| powders, for the use of her own
home. Those who do domestic and
laundry work are also important
buyers as they exert considerable
influence regarding the brands
bought in the home of their White
employers.
Patronize your colored newspa-
pers, watch their advertisements
so that you can do your part by
buying only those brands that are
advertised in your papers. By
spending your money with those
companies that invite your patron,
age, you will derive direct benefits
through the increased employment
opportunities for the race.
