LINDBERG AND NEGROES

Only if white civilization is threaten

Charles A. Llndberg IN Radio ad-
dress recently Col. Lilldbers simply
said publicly what thousands of white
leaders all over the world are thinking
and discussing more or less privately.
Foreseeing it with deadly terror
that white civilization is OH the decline,
the whites may be expected to do all
in their power against detnronement.

law of birth, youth, maturity, and de-

disintegrated, the modern white man
finds it difficult to believe that his own
civilization is in precarous condition y

So first of all she carried him
away to the stable. Barry led the
way inside, stalking straight to
the harness room where the man
who had been doing something
with a saddle was back at his
work.
'That's a pretty fine saddle, -
said Barry.
Lucy, noting it for the first

Wall Brackets

Wall brackets should be con-
sidered for their decorative
value only, and not as a source
of light when reading, working
or entertaining. The most i'm
portant thing to remember
about these lighting fixtures is
that, by all means, the lamp
bulbs must be shaded.
A wall bracket serves two
purposes in decoration. First,
to attract attention to a parti-
cular grouping. as for instance,
a pair of brackets over a fire
place makes a perfect setting
for an ancestral oil painting.
