Masons and chairman of the st.
Paul Citizens Committee. The Rev.
Father Gilligan declared that Min
nesota is a northern state in which
Negroes have the least of economic
opportunity, and depriving them of
liability insurance necessary for
their work in some cases is a fur
ther bar to their chances of earning
a living.
Sustained hand clapping came
from the audience for Mr.. Ransom
when he stated that he was a war
veteran and seven years after re-
turning from the front persons
who had been sent to fight could
secure liability insurance while he
could not because he was Negro.
Turner and Erwin Pointed Out
Hammond Turner and ]. Louis
Erwin, attorneys, pointed out cases
in which Negroes had been denied
insurance for their cars for racial
company for nine years and that he
had been dropped although he
never had an accident.
o. C. Hall testified that, although
companies contend that the reason
they do not sell to Negroes is be-
cause members of this race cannot
get a fair deal in courts when they
are involved in accidents, he knew
several judges who denied that this
allegation has any foundation in
fact.
Mrs. Rose L. Davis, 387 st. AL
bans street, stated that she carried
insurance on her automobile since
1919 but lately she has been having
considerable trouble in getting COW
erage for racial reasons.
Mrs. Mitchell Speaks
Representing the st. Paul branch
of the N.A.A.C.P., Mrs. Juanita
Mitchell told the committee that
the denial of insurance to Negroes
was attracting national attention
and that justice required some rem
edy.
W. B. Baines, coal dealer, told of
how he is required to carry liability
insurance under city council or
dinance in st. Paul, but the fact
that companies discriminate pre-
vents him from getting this insur-
ance.
Cecil E. Newman, editor of the
Minneapolis Spokesman and st.
Paul Recorder, testified that a
number of colored persons in the
trash-hauling business in the Mill
City have been arrested for not
having insurance as required. They
could not get this insurance, he
said, because of their race.
Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr., execu-
tive secretary of the st. Paul Ur-
ban League, pointed out that this
form of discrimination first came to
his attention when a truck owner
was about to lose a contract be-
cause he could not obtain insurance
required under the terms of his
agreement. The league secretary
submitted a memorandum on IL
cases of discrimination to the COM
mittee.
Insurance companies failed to
state any opposition to the bill al
though George Wells, life insur-
ance lawyer, told the committee
that he had heard of one man who
wanted to make statement but
could not be present because Of ILL
ness.

thy non-syphilitic baby. Treat ment also appreciably enhances the resultant cure of the mother.
 Every woman, the moment she suspects pregnancy, should at once consult her private physic- ian for early and periodic rout- inc examinations throughout pregnancy and necessary blood tests. Physicians at time may hesitate to make a blood test in private pregnancy cases for fear of offending their patients, but what expectant mother realizing it's importance, would refuse eth CT test or treatment to make sure her child would be born free of disease? What mother would not demand it? When every prospect i've mother is given a blood test early in pregnancy and when all such mothers who have syphilis are treated early and adequately, congenital syphilis will be wiped out.
 In many states legislation is be ing proposed to make the blood test in marriage and in pregnan- cy routine requirements. This will finally and effectively re- duce syphilis among the new born to the vanishing point.

Syphilis and Maternal Health

In the many-sided movement for child health and protection carried on during the last twenty five years, the public has learned the importance of prenatal care. Guided by the family physician or advised by official or volun- tary health organizations, many expectant mothers are careful ly following regimens of diet, ex ercise and behavior to build and protect the health of the life they carry.
 Yet thousands up on thousands of prospective mothers do not know that unless they have a blood test during their early months of pregnancy, an unseen and unsuspected tragedy may be menacing their unborn children.
 This tragedy is congenital syph ilis-syphilis contracted before birth-transmitted to the child in the mothers womb. Each year 60,000 babies in the United States are born with syphilis. Thousands die within a few weeks of birth; those who sur vive infancy may suffer from any of the consequences of syph lis including blindness. insanity and serious deformities.
 Congenital syphilis is definite ly and almost wholly prevent able, and can be wiped out in one generation if every prospect i've mother will cooperate. This cooperation requires that every woman have a blood test early in pregnancy. No expectant mo- ther should let false shame deter her from this test, for anyone may have syphilis unknowingly. Syphilis recognizes no social or economic class; of the millions now suffering from some form of the disease, probably at least half were infected through TO fault of their own-men and wo men infected in marriage, per sons accidentally infected, and especially children congenitally infected. Congenital syphilis, however would soon cease to ex- ist if all mothers will do their part.

It may show however, that of pregnant woman-may show in her blood are the insidious eff fleets of a syphilis infection which if she is not properly treated threatens the health & may cost the life of her child. If proper treatment of the mother is be- gun before the middle of preg- nancy and continued until de- livery, mother with syphilis can almost always bear a heal

AAA Chief
Grateful To


College Station, Raleigh, Oct. IL
Appreciation for the cooperation
given by all agricultural and leading
business and professional organiza-
lions in conducting the short but
thorough educational campaign pre-
ceding the referendum on flue- cured
tobacco quotas for 1910 was ex-
pressed here today by E. Y. Floyd,
AAA executive officer of State Col
lege. The expression Of the tobac-
co farmers when they voted more
than 80 percent for control indicated
their understanding of the problem"
he declared
without the cooperation of every
agency in our State, the job would
have been impossible for the Extern
sion Service and AAA officials to
accomplish in such short time"
Floyd continued. But | believe that
every producer was able to get an
understanding of the problem
through meetings, personal contacts,
the press, and radio.
Il question whether any Of us can
was a fuller measure Of cooperation
throughout the State" he added
Floyd also urged that the same in
terest and enthusiasm be accorded
the Triple-A and other agricultural
agencies in working out for each in
dividual farm better balanced
farm program (which will raise the
standard Of living of our rural popu-
lation in the flue-cured tobacco
area"
1T is a difficult thing for the aver
age farmer to understand how he can
exist unless he has all the tobacco
acreage that he thinks he needs. The
farm program does not seek to curb
any farmers efforts or ambitions.
We stand for the right of farmers to
produce all they can sell at fair prices
without damage to the SOIL" Floyd
concluded.
