Beta Kappa. That has remained
to this day the leading honorary
college fraternity. Since 1874 when
the first Negro was elected there
has been steady gain, until today
there are 155 Negro members.
Among these are Louis B. White of
the Iowa State University, Carlyle
Clark of Drake University. Among
the first Negroes admitted was S.
Joe Brown of the Iowa State Uni
versity, admitted in 1898. He was
the tenth student to be admitted
in the United States.
Since 1876, a little more than go
years, 1872 Negroes have received
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy,
Russell w. Brown of the State Col
lege at Ames, one of them. Ma
thaniel o. Galloway of the Iowa
State University is another.
One of the curious facts brought
out by the records of the World
War period is that more Negroes
relatively were accepted and sent
abroad than whites. The record
reads:
'The per cent of reflections of
those examined was greater for
white registrants than for Negro
registrants. OF those examined,
70.41 per cent of the whites and
1850 per cent of the Negroes were
accepted. The number of Negroes
finally indicted into the service
was 367,71O. The number accepted
for full military service was 342,-
277. OF the total registrants 1884
per cent of the whites and 31.74
per cent of the Negroes were ac-
cepted for full military service"
Of course fitness for war would
be more physical than mental, and
the same qualities that promise to
give Louis the world champion
ship as prize fighter are the ones
that gave his friends front place
in our armies abroad. But there
has to be something more than
mere physical alertness in Louis
and there had to be something
more than that in the soldiers of
the World War.

Nothing can be palmer than that
the Negro must take his place in
the new world we are entering, and
it must be a place of intellectual
leadership as well as of power and
skill in athletics.
What this means is that the Ne

the arts and sciences must have the
recognition that has always gone
with that sort of achievement.
Our social and political life must
be adjusted to the new relations

The reason it is important to get
this other side of the picture be-
fore us as we come to the prize
fight is because the Negro occupies
so large a place in our United
States population. The census of
1880 showed 11,877,412 Negroes,
or very close to one-tenth of our
total population.
And that is taking no account
of the populations in Central and
South America, which for every
reason we are becoming more in

substantially 20 per cent of the
total. There are more than IL

American Farms
Most Mechanical

WASHINGTON. Feb. Is. (UP)
American farms have become the
most mechanical in the world, ac.
cording to S. H. McCrory, chief OF
the Department Of Agriculture bu-
reau of agricultural engineering.
1t was only 100 years ago that
the steel pillow and the grain haf-
vester were invented. Gasoline
tractors came into general use less
than 25 years ago. Electric power
on farms is much newer.
"Todav there are more than
1,25O,00O farm tractors in use
and electric power is available on
1000 900 FARMS" McCrory sald,
"Hugc combines that harvest loV
acres of wheat a day are COM
mon in the Great Plains. =
"Thcre are 85,000,OOO acres OF
the best agricultural land IN or
ganized drainage districts and w.
100000 acres under irrigation IN
the west. Millions of acres more
soon will be irrigated from huge
dams now being built"
There is a strong tendency, NC
Crory said, for engineering I'M
provements to aid the family-slzc
farm. Among recent developments
are the handy general-purpose
tractors and the "baby" combine
grain harvestcrs adapted to small
fields.
Despite the increase in the num-
Der of machines, McCrory SAID
the quantity of metal used IN farm
implements is about the same as
in 1917.

j. s. IS LEADING
IN RESEARCH
FOR INDUSTRY
Science Pushes Forward
in World in Finding
New Products

PITTSBURGH, Feb. Is. CUP
The United States spent $780,
100000 last year to lead all other
nations in the field of industrial
research, according to ii world
survey read to the American
Chemical society by DR.. William
A. Hamor, assistant director of
the Mellon Institute of Industrial
Research.
The never-cnding search for
new products and materials has
led to scientific experiments on
almost every conceivable subject
and in many countries novel syn
theticS have opened a new era OF
solvents, plastics, paints, pharma-
ceuticals and perfumes, DR.. Ha-
NOR said.
Hundreds of scientific inveSti-
cations are underway in Canada,
Great Britain, Germany, France,
Italy, India, Sweden, Switzerland,
Russia, Australia, Brazil, Chile,
Denmark, Honduras, Guatemala,
Norway and Palestine.
SMALLER NATIONS ACTIVE y.
The report, a comprehensive
outline of the research activities
throughout the world, reveals that
experiments flourish in the small
er as well as the larger nations.
Switzerland, Dr.. Hamor reports,
holds European leadership in
pharmaceutical research. The de-
mand for insecticides has result
ed in reorganization of Pales-
tines sulphur industry. German
chemists are aiding Brazilian au-
thorities in search of new uses
for surplus coffee.
DR.. Hamor summarized re-
search activity in this country in
separate report.

the lithium-bearing ores, h a S

The cobbler. not wanting dental
