not join Germany and it does not
seem at all likely that they would
now want to take Hitler's side.
Switzerland is peace loving, but
the people have seemed ever willing
to defend their country from an
invader. It Is not certain that
such small country could keep
out the armies of a large and DOW
erful nation, but the Swiss have
mountains to help them. To pass
through a country Of mountains
means the use of passes or low val
leys between the peaks. These are
more easy to defend than fiat
country.
Many of the Swiss make their
living by farming. They raise
cattle, poultry, fruit, wheat, rye,
oats and potatoes. The dairy in
dustry is important and Swiss
cheese is justly famous.
The Swiss are experts in making
watches. They also manufacture q
great deal of jewelry.

women with non-Jewish names tt
add Israel or Sarah as first or sec.

be named exclusively from a list
of acceptable Jewish names.
The second decree specifies that
every Jew must obtain a special
Identification card which must be
shown at all official places, such as
tax offices.
The third forbids Jews to be ar.
tisans or retailers.
The fourth forbids Jews to dea
in real estate.
The fifth, sixth and seventh bar
Jews from being building superin-

printing shops and banks.
The eighth forbids Jews to own
or drive an automobile, except
hearses.
The ninth bars the Jews thrown
out of employment by the other de.

these sources will continue is ques-

Mrs. Mitchell Off
to Washington for
NYA Conference

In response to an invitation from
Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune, Mrs,
Juanita E. Mitchell left the city
Monday to attend an advisory con-
ference of the National Youth Ad-
ministration in Washington, D. c.
Educators, social workers and
other outstanding individuals from
all over the country are being
called to the meeting, which is the
second Mrs. Bethune has called
since she began her duties as di-
rector of Negro affairs for the
N. Y. A. Mrs. Audrey Mccullough
of Minneapolis was also invited by
Mrs. Bethune.
One of the outstanding results
of the first conference was the
granting of additional funds, be-
yond those ordinarily given, for Ne
gro students in white graduate
schools.
Mrs. Mitchell, who was asked to
head one of the discussion sections
at the conference, mentioned that
one of the most pressing problems
is the lack Of representation Ne
groes have on the administrative
stats of such agencies as the
N. Y. A. in sections where the
coIored population Is small and
largely overlooked.
