BETTER THAN YEAR

Twenty centuries ago, the Man of
Gallilee, the Savior of mankind, found
ed the Christian or gospel church a.
gainst which He pledged the gates of
hell shall not prevail.
After the lapse of two thousand
years, if Christianity has made no I'M
provement in the economic, social mo-
raj and religious conditions of mankind
then the devil is a better general than
the Lord Jesus Christ and eventually
must win.
AS seen by the eye of the gloomy
pessimist, who continually rants about
what they claim to be a departure from
the "land marks to whom the church,
with an intelligent program an order
ly service, the man of letters, the SER
mon minus the transforming are all
so many evidences of a failing Chris
tianity. True it is, we are in a transi-
ton period. We are changing from the
yester year in things religious as in
material, to this day of our Lord. And
he reads history to no purpose who
does not see ~emblazoned on every page
proof positive of the growth and devel-
opment of an improved and an ever
improving condition.
The world today is better than it
ever was since the Morning Stars sang
together and the Sons of God rejoiced.
Every belching cannon, every ex-
ploding bomb dropped from the skies
with its death dealing and destructive
effects, every keel of a mar O war that
lets into foam the waters of the deep,
every army marshalled TO put down
the wrong and the wrong-doer are but
SO many evidences of the onward march
of Right and the progress of Peace. 1t
will continue so long as mans inhu-
mainly to man make countless millions
mourn"
Something wrong? Yes. Where and
whenever individuals in state or in
church become obsessed with that SUI
periority complex which results in a
conviction that they are born to force
their theories and what-nots upon those
they adjudge to be inferior, when the
religious bigots conceive the idea that
they are better than their fellows, fric-
ton begins and trouble is generated.
Every bombing plane, every navy,
every army with all the munitions of
warfare are but effective protests a.
gainst the encroachments on God-given
human rights. Free the Christian
church of its Pharisees and the Phari-
steal spirit and much of the lombard
ment in the religious world will end.

BUYERS GUIDE
BY Clarence Il. Peacock

BY Clarence T.. Peacock
American people spend more than
$1,000, 100000 annually for tobacco and
cigarettes. Last year cigarette smok-
ers contributed more than $3.50, 100000
in tobacco taxes to the Federal Govern
ment.
Government statistics show that
smoking tobacco yields a revenue of
$4,000, 900 a year and cigars yield
more than $13, 100000. Snuff is in
fourth place with a return of more than
$6,000,000. Government records show
that the consumption of snuff has not
changed much in the past thirty-eight
years. The total Federal tobacco tax
for 1898 is expected to exceed $780,
600,
Twenty years ago the consumption
OF chewing, smoking and cigar tobacco
averaged more than five pounds per
person a year; now it is little more than
three pounds. It appears that as wom-
en- smoke more, men have been consum-
ing less tobacco. The per capita con-
sumption of cigarettes has increased
from n and a half to three and a half
pounds a year.
Colored customers throughout the
country spend ver $780, 900, 900 annual
~ for cigarettes, cigars, smoking tob-
acco and snuff. Of this mount very
little is returned to Colored circles.
While Negroes are given employment
In the tobacco fields and factories. they
are overlooked by the large manufac-
turers when it comes to advertising
and merchandising their products.
Some time ago in this column I
pointed out that in 1887 the four larp-
er brands of cigarettes, Chesterfelds
Camels, Lukies and Old Gold spent
over $25,000,0 900 in advertising for
That year, yet not cent cent of this
amount was spent in Negro press.
These same companies spent a similar
amount for advertising in 1938lbut
still continued toignore our newspaper.
Colored Americans can Increase
their purchasing power by spending
thelr money with those companies who
want Colored patronage and who are
willing to return part of their revenue
that is obtained from Colored Circles
back to Colored hands. This accomplish
eel through the employment of Negroes
and by advertising in the Negro mar
ket by these companies.
There are three brands of cigaret-
tes now advertising in our papers, they
are Twenty Grand, Domino and Mar
vels.. For greater economic security
support u papers and their advertis-
ed products.

Juvenile Snake Club, Under Police Pressure,
Agrees to Pact Limiting Scores
Restriction Follows
Frightened-GHI
Incident

The Snake Club of Somerset, Md,
has weathered a crisis, with its
youngest member-6-year-old John
Notwithstanding the brunt OF the
difficulties.
Tension arose when John, the son
OF a Carnegie Institute scientist,
and friend, blandly engaged girls
of the neighborhood in conversation
and surprised them by suddenly per-
mitting an 18-inch snake to crawl
out of a pocket.
John said that he thought the
matter ended when the snake bear
ers were put to flight by a barrage
of apples from frightened girls. But
Montgomery County police were in
formed otherwise. The headquar-
tiers at Bethesda, Md, received q
telephone call from a secretive tip
ster, who complained that Young
ster McNish was terrorizing children
and housewives of the area by ap-
pearing at front doors snake in
hand.
County officers found John on his
own premises at 311 Essex avenue,
stoutly denying the charges. John
proudly told them he had total of
five snakes, that his 14-year- old
brother George had 49, that a 12-
year-old playmate, Lanier William
son of 1888 Legation street NV,
also had some, that all of these
snakes were caught by hand in
nearby woods, that the captors had
banded themselves into an active
organization known as the Snake
Club. Another young friend. Lind
say Goodloe, 13, of 1919 Legation
street NV, who aids in capturing
snakes, but who is permitted to keep
only turtles, is also a member, said
John. Young John, an engaging,
bright young man, suggested that
perhaps certain snake-frightened,
apple-throwing girl had telephoned
the complaint.
A checkup revealed that the COM
plainant had given fictitious name
and address, but the officers were
concerned over scare probabilities.
The officers allowed that the snakes
could be kept since there was no
regulation against it, but that the
harmless reptiles must be kept
around their owners residences and
not used to scare neighbors of any
age or sex. The Snake Club readily
agreed to this proposal of modified
reptile circulation.
