struction is proper bracing. The frame
of the car must be firmly and sol!dly
built to eliminate any swaying that
might cut down speed.
Streamlined Body.
Another type, which is something
like the box frame, requires more skill
in construction. but has been used by
boys desiring to make an effectively
streamlined body. This frame uses
side members of 2" by As which have
been cut at an angle and then joined
together so that the middle of the
frame is wider than either of the
ends. An *" frame brace strength
ems the frame in addition to cross
pieces.
After you have your material cut
and ready to place together, the
sections of the frame must be joined
securely. Don't use nails If you
can avoid it. Use screws and bolts
where possible, because nails work
out too easily. 1t is permissible to
use some metal bracing at the four
corners of a frame, and 1t is not
prohibited to use strap iron angles,
T and L braces to hold the wood
frame together, but the frame must
be of wood.
One of the purposes of the derby
is to furnish boys with an oppor-
tunity to use their own imaginations
in the construction of their cars.
Each entrant is encouraged to make
his own Improvements to contribute
to the speed and appearance of his
entry. You can accept advice and
criticism from your father or other
adults, but each boy must build his
own car himself

ciaci6n economical contra ell ne

cha por ell DR.. F. Franklin Fra
zier, professor de SOCIOLOGICAL en-
la Uniwersidad de Howard.
Declarando que ell profile
ma econ6mico del negro es ba-
sicamente ell mismo que ell de
todos los trabajadores en- la
ciudad, Ell diio que "algun dia
ell negro despertara en- Har-
lem Y Sc dara cuenta de que
mediante la propiedad colec-
tiva tendra una mejor oportu-
nidad de empleo."
"En Harlem dijo ell, "tene-
mos gentes. que Sc conforman
Icon las reglas cosmopolitas de
la sociedad urbanizada, y o.
tras con profundamente arrai-
gados recuerdos, tradiciones y
Attitudes, al igual que sucede
en- otros grupos raciales. Har-
lem representa- la urbaniza-
ci6n del negro, y presentara
naturalmente los mismos pro
bIemas que cualesquiera Otros
grupos de campesinos en- las
ciudades."
Harlem es propiedad del
exterior Y esta controlado des-
de ell exterior; v cualquier lu-
gar poseido y controlado des-
de ell exterior es apto para ex-
hibir algun desorden. Pero ell
negro posee una marca exte-
rior que permite a las gentes
identificarle y asignarle un lu-
gar definido en- sus mentes. Els
to no es cierto en- ell case de
otros grupos r~aciales."

Como resultado de esa dife-
renciaci6n, dijo, en- Septiem

before the forthcoming Congress with the result that session may be stymied in a great many instances
 The fact is that the minority party hasn't the
 strength in its forces to stop any piece of lees- ation that may before the Congress It has but 23 seats in the Senate out of 96 and only ITO seats in the House out of total of 435, thus the Republicans cannot hope to defeat any proposal of the Admins tration simply by their votes. As the New York Times points out they can defeat Administration proposals only with the help of a substantial number of Democrats Passing out little advice to the Re- publcans, the Times, commenting on the Congress sional setup says:
 The Republican minority is likely to gain most advantage for itself in proportion it does not try to gain too much advantage merely for itself As it becomes evident that its effort to gain partisan advantage it will forfeit the indispensable support of moderate Democrats at the same time as
 it alienates public goodwill.
 If the Republicans are to increase their represen-
 aon further in the next Congress if they seriously hope to be restored to leadership and majority power
 they must convince the country that they have pro- at the very least definite set of principles They cannot do this if each Republican member of Congress tries to play a lone hand They cannot do it if each Republican member tries to draw atten- tion to himself virtuoso and great sooist tries to play his own tune his own instrument without regard to what his colleagues are playing They cannot do 1t, in brief if one group of Republicans opposes all Administration measures with stupid stand d-pattism while another group tries to rush to the left of the New Deal if group denounces Ad- deficits and extravaganza while another demands even higher payments to farmers higher wages to WPA workers and larger old-age pensions than the Administration is prepared to give Opposi- tion of this type cannot command respect and must tend to cancel itself out If the Republican opposition to inar1r unity in it. Whether the Republican party makes further gains in 1940 loses even its present gains will depend in large part upon course in Congress in the next two years"

cHoroscobe The stars incline
 but do not compel
SATURDAY, NOV. 26, 1888


 Benefic aspects dominate today, according to astrology. The stars en- courage the prolongation of the holiday spirit and provide stimulat- ing influences where love affairs are prevalent.
 University students should bene- fit under this direction of the stars which seems to presage access of ambition, increase in popularity and success in making ends meet.
 Recreation will be more widely sought than usual and theaters will benefit.
 Speakers will enjoy unprecedent- ed popularity through the winter. College professors will be in demand as analysts of world trends.
 While intellectuals interpret con- temporary history the stars seem to foretell events unfavorable to dicta- tors. The League of Nations is to gain support
 In the horoscope of Chancellor Hitler aStrologerS discern threaten ing portents Next summer may be time of danger to his highest am- bitions. An accident or illness has been prophesied.
 Mussolini is subject to planetary government much more fortunate than that of Hitler. The Italian dic- tator may gain world acclaim by an act of astute statesmanship early next year.
 Girls may expect to register strongly in association with young men under this configuration which promises intense and speedy declar- ations of heart interest.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of prosperity and increase of personal prestige. Both men and women will progress toward desirable goals.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be highstrung but kindly and talented, though difficult to direct Subjects of this sign of Sag ittarius may be dreamers as well as doers
 The late Queen Maud of Norway was born on this day 1869. Others who have celebrated it as a birth day include George Cary Eggleston, author, 1889; Edward Savage, por- trait painter, 1761.

ALASKA'S NEED OF CAPITAL

In the Alaska colonization thought which is draw ing good deal of these days, it occurs to US that one factor vtally essential to any such plan is being notceaby overlooked That potent ingredient is capital
 What Alaska needs first, and must have if it is to support an additional large number of people, is capital-peope with resources to develop its unde- veloped resources. It may sound strange to those in the States who not conversant with Alaska problems that a Territory which produces the vast amount of wealth which Alaska gives the world each year should need capital But nevertheless it is fact, and here of the reasons
 Alaska has for example vast store of untapped mineral wealth To bring that wealth into com mercal channels requires production and to bring any piece of mining property into production requires mining equipment which costs money The day is gone when with pick and shovel and given amount of energy make fortune in the north. Mining today a successful scale a substan- tial amount of money for equipment In many in- stances, vasts amount of money must be expended before actual pay dirt be brought production This applies in both hard rock and placer mining 1t is pretty slim pickings for man without some resources in the mining industry the north for if he is coming from the Outside looking for work in the industry he will find the jobs are all taken and . there is abundant labor market
 The same condition applies to the other industries of Alaska If person proposes to go fur farming it requires money for stock for proper housing and care of the animals before he realize anything General farming requires money for buildings and generally getting started, if the prospective farmer choses piece of land which doesn't have to be cleared. and clearing into important money In the fishing industry there is always surplus of labor during the short season. the man hoping ito the fishing business must have money for equipment in the way of boat if he is going into the packing business he must be supplied with ample resources to establish his plant and get operating The man who comes north hoping to make his : livelihood taking fur must remember he must become
 resident of the Territory before he can get resi- dent trappers license which requires residence of at least year he must be prepared to pay the higher rate of the nonresident have none of the privileges of the resident Alaskan Thus he must have money to take of himself for least year before he can hope to enter the trapping business
 The same conditions prevail for any venture the prospective settler in the north may be considering He must have certain amount of capital or his lot probably will be hard and very likely unsuccessful
 
 It strikes us that this thought is too often over looked when the matter of colonization of Alaska is discussed To be sure, Alaska needs more people but / 1t needs people who have some resources to help in { developing the country.
