FREES FOUR JAILED

Empire State Building office of Gro,
yer Whalen, President of the New
York Worlds Fair Corp, in protest
against Whalen's fragrant discrimi,
nation against Negro job seekers, were
dismissed in court this week by Mag
istrate Niles Pringle.
"You have as much right to picket
as any other group, especially when
your own interests are involved in the
issue. l want you, when you return up
there to picket, to act in an orderly
manner, Magistrate Paige told the four
prisoners in discharging them OF
charges of disorderly conduct lodged
against them.
The arrest occurred after several
hundred persons, mostly from Har-
lem, had gone to the building at the
call of the Greater New York Coordi-
mating Committee for Employment to
picket Whalen's office for anti-Negro
hiring practice at the Worlds Fair.
The pickets were led by the Rev.
Adam c. Powell, chairman of the Co
ordinating Committee, and the Rev.
William Lloyd Ames, pastor of the
st. James Presbyterian Church.
The picketing is continuing daily,
with the pickets working in shifts of
nine persons to group, and carrying
slogans, some of which read: MAKE
the Worlds Fair Fair" Democracy
for one means Democracy for All"
we Fought for Our Democracy
and We Demand 1t, and stop Hit
lerism at the Worlds Fair"

Your HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

The little organism, known as
an itch-mite, which Is so dis
turbing to so many people, is fire.
quently overlooked for days be-
fore its presence is correctly
diagnosed and proper methods Of
treatment are applied.
One of the reasons is that the
itch-mite is so small it is hard
to see without a magnifying
glass. Since it usually is found
first between the fingers in the
webs, this is the place where the
magnifying glass should be first
applied.
The condition usually spreads
from one person to another by
direct contact, but may also
pass from one person to an
other through clothing, bed
clothes or other materials.
The chief sign of the itch
mites presence is irritation. This
is intensified when the person
infested becomes warm. After
the itch-mite has penetrated the
body, fine rash will appear,
usually between the fingers, but
sometimes spreading over other
portions of the body. Usually
the victim has scratched so seri-
ously that the skin had been
damaged and there is secondary
infection.
In children, pus infections &C.
cur. A child in school with this
condition should be sent home
for treatment and not be per-
mitted back in school until the
infestation is removed.
In Canada, a routine has been
adopted which involves treat
ment with a remedy containing
benzyl benzoate. After having
had thorough warm bath, in
volving thorough rubbing with
soft soap. the affected portions
of the body are painted with
this solution which seems to de-
stroy the itch-mite.
OF course, the patient can be-
come promptly infected again
from his own clothing or bed
clothing unless clean clothes are
put on and Undertaking and
soiled linen are boiled and hung
in the sun to dry.
Since the drugs involved in the
treatment OF the itch are potent
remedies capable Of harm as well
as good, they are 10 be used
only under a doctors direction.
The methods Of treatment most
frequently used heretofore have
involved preparations Of sulfur.
There are many different ways
in which sulfur is employed,
varying from the use of sulfur
powder and pastes to ointments,
lotions and paints which are ap-
piled to the body.

The other day when he accepted
appointment as President Roose-
yelt's personal representative at
a world peace conference at the
Vatican. Mr.. Taylor recalled
that prophecy. He goes to the
conference in the belief that II
anything is accomplished it will
be through a united front of the
worlds religious influences.
Everything else has been
tried and the world has gone
from one mess into another.
The Vatican conference may
find the answer. The expert
ment is worth trying.
WHEN Calvin Coolidge was
w elected president of the
Massachusetts, assembly rs years
ago, he delivered a brief ad-
dress full of homely truths but
as succinct and conclusive as
his 'I do not choose to run"
Among other things he said:
I'VE need a broader, deeper,
firmer faith in the people-a
faith that men desire to do
right, that the commonwealth is
founded upon a righteousness
that will endure. We need re-
constructed faith that the final
approval of the people is given
not to the demagogues slavishly
pandering to the clamor of the
hour, but to statesmen repre-
senting their deep silent, abid-
ing convictions.
statutes must appeal to
more than material welfare.
Wages alone won't satisfy,
be they ever so large. Nor
houses, nor lands, nor cou-
pons, though they fall as
thick as the leaves of
autumn.
Man has a spiritual nature.
Touch it, and it must respond as
the magnet responds to the pole.
To that, not to selfishness, let
the laws of the commonwealth
appeal. Recognize the immortal
worth and dignity of man."
The foregoing thoughts ex-
pressed in the typically succinct
Coolidge style are respectfully
commended to candidates, New
Deal and G. o. P. alike, who
seem to think that all who dis
agree with them are evil minded.
