USA; NO DEM
OCRACY FOR
NEGRO SAYS
WRITER

New York, Feb. 5-America falls
short of being a democracy so far
as Negro rights T concerned, as
serts Lewis Gannett, well known
book critic of the New York Her.
ald-Tribune in an article in the
Survey Graphic for February.
The February issue of the Sur
vey Graphs is devoted entirely to
1.-THE Challenge to Democracy UNI
der the title of calling America"
The special guest editor for the
issue is Raymond Gram Swing.
In his article showing up the
short comings Of American demo-
cracy toward the Negro, Mr. Gan
nett points out the discrimination
in schools, jobs, sports, housing, le-
gal rights and basic citizenship
rights. He calls for equal oppor-
tunity for individual Americans
everywhere and expresses the hope
that Americas new awakening the
denial Of democracy abroad will re-
suit in fulfilling the promises Of
our own democracy at home. He
concludes:
eve still have a habit of for
getting about Negroes when talk
ing about democracy, in America.
And while we are rescnting the
plight of the Jews in Germany, we
may well think harded about Ne
groes in Amerea.n

AL SMITH, FORMER DEMO-
CRATIC CANDIDATE, PLEADS
FOR CHANCE FOR NEGRO

Alfred IL. Smith, ne OF broWH
Derby" fame and Democratic can
didate for president in 1928, made
a strong plea for better education
al facilities for Negroes and called
upon the nation at large to helI
solve the racial problem at a Lin
coin university luncheon given
Wednesday at the Empire State
club by j. Frederick Talcett, q
member of the university board Of
trustees.
Mr.. Smith. also a former gov
ernor of New York, pointed out
that "the number of Negroes has
>trebled since freedom came to the
race" and added 'there has beer
talk about the Negro problem ev-
err since them"
"But in the first place." he said
apart of what we cali the Negro
problem is a white problem. The
white part of the population has
not always done what it could to
help the Negro on bis long upward
climb. Today we r trying to
make our institutions serve them
better and give them more oppor-
tunities. Opportunity is all they
ask. they can and are solving
their own problems and working
out their own destiny. But they
need some help"
After pointing out that the col
ored race is one tenth of the pop
ulation "only three quarters of a
century out of slavery, and only a
few hundred years out of savag-
cry" he declared:
at strikes me that the remark
able thing is not that we have a
Negro problem, but that the Ne
gro is so little of q problem and
has come so far in 20 short q
time. We can help them work out
their economic and educational fu-
ture if we provide more adequate
educational opportunities for them.
1--WE should stop ,crowding them
into slums, both country slums and
city slums. The Negro problem
would be much more quickly solv-
al. too. if better health and medi-
chi service were available to the
azce, and that is one of the things
vs must give attention 10 along
wtth education, housing, Jobs and
tsrtter working conditions In the
future.
"rhere isn't any bigger job a.
hcad Of Us In this country than to
6sap give the opportunity to this
rsoe that they IN entitled to as
citizens Of the nation. To give
Shern their opportunity will not
Anuiy help them, but It will help the
entire nation. It viii make this a
better and more harmonious coun-
ny. This problem Of race refa-
tons will take care Of itself large
" when the colored race is given
educational advantages, health and
ssedical care, better living condi-
tons and more of the good Jobs
and not all Of the poor ones"
Another of the speakers was the
Rev. DR.. Walter Fl. Brooks, pastor
Of the 10Th Street Baptist church,
OF Washington for SO years, a for
mer slave who is a member Of the
class of 1872. DR.. George john
son, dean Of Lincoln, spoke In the
absence Of the president, DIR. Wal
ter Livingston Wright, who was
b. He referred to the increase in
ahrcilment during the past 20
years and listed as needed facilit-
les a library, dining hall, addition

formitories.

DRAMATIC HOLIDAY SETTINGS

Dramatic table settings for the holidays should be planned well in advance and with minute attention to detail. One New York designer of distinctive housefurnishings intro- duces for the coming season exquisite table cloths of mousseline de soie and heavy silk satin in un- usual colors. China and glassware are, of course, assembled to com- plement the cloths which, in some cases, are of the same material as the hostess gown. Tn her collection is shown an exquisite pink mousse line de soie cloth appliqued with a border of huge grapes. vines and leaves in shades from fuchsia to wine; a cafe au lait cloth of the same material is appliqued with autumn leaves in tones of brown. giving the effect of leaves blown across the cloth. Flanaboyant color is used daringly in c setting of Chinese red glass dinner plates sand-carved with Q spray of white Hibiscus blossoms, gleaming crystal and white porcelain figurines on e white crepe back satin cloth.

Modern Menus
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

Even in troubled Finland, thoughts of the great Christmas feast are !n order. Not turkey or goose, but KINKKU. roast pork. is their na- tional dish. We might add 1t to our list Of Christmas possibilities.
 Klnkku or Finland's Roast Pork
 Ten pound leg of fresh pork, 2 tablespoons prepared mustard, l tablespoon sugar, 1-2 cup bread crumbs, cooked prunes, roast DO. tatoes, fresh or canned pineapple.
 Order your fresh pork in ad- vance and ask the butcher to "cure" 1t slightly for you, by mar mating in salt water for three or four days. Then at home, boil the slightly cured pork in water, ale lowing about l-2 hour to the pound. When tender, remove from water, skin, and cover with prepared mus tard, sugar and bread-crumbs. Then roast in moderately hot oven (400 degrees F.) for one hour Serve on great platter garnished with prunes. pineapple and roast potatoes.
 With this Christmas dish the f1lnS AlWay5 serve turUlp CHS- serole. Boil the turnips, then mash. Season with milk, nutmeg, sugar and salt. Mix with bread- crumbs. Place in casserole or baking dish, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and dot with butter. Bake until brown. Serve with sweet pickles.
 A Christmas dessert in Finland would be either whip of prunes, of cranberries or Arctic bramble- berries. The berreis or prunes are forced through sieve and then mixed with heavy whipped cream.

Every line is made for action; every inch planned with rooIny freedom. The front buttoning that's 50 dec- orative and smart lets you in and out at high speed, without mussing a single curl. The yoke gives Gmoosh, trim lines through the shoulders and holds in the free-and-easy full- ness of the bodice below. Notice how attractively 1t is shaped at the frontl You will tuck the long sleeves at the wrists for nice fit, leaving plenty of elbow room above. Knot scarf casually at the becoming neck of a collarless version for sportswear. Then make another short-sleeved dress for at-home days and trim the neck with a crisp, little boy collar. You might like the collar, yoke and sleeves all of a colorfui contrast.

Authorities agree that walking, standing and sitting correctly VIII make any woman feel, as well as look, better.
 If you doubt this, make Q slm- pie test. Just let your shoulders sag, pull your head back into the collar of your coat--in fact, allow all of your body to slump, then walk c block. Now lift your chest, hold shoulders tip and back straight, but not exaggeratedly so, carry head high--in other words, assume 0 perfect posture, then walk another block. At the end of the second block, stop and analyze your reac. tions during the short walk. No matter how nice your clothes, you felt pretty frowsy, even siight- ly down-trodden, during the first half of the walk, didn't you2 Dur- ing the latter half, your spirits as well as your chest and head seemed to bc uplifted, too, didn't theyr STAND, LOOK
 AND WALK "TALL"
 It's c well known fact that bad seated posture produces fatigue rather quickly. It's important that the office worker sit far back in her chair with end of spine (not acc. essarily shoulders) touching the back of the chair. Stomach will then be up and In. Feet should be placed flat on the floor.
 When you stand, try to keep back bone in as straight line as pose sible with chest high. stomach in and head up. It's possible to stand with weight on one foot without throwing the body out of balance or having the hip on the opposite side stick out. Practice shifting your weight from one foot to the other, meanwhile keeping the body in 6 nice, graceful line. Remember, of course, that deep breathing exercises do Q great deal toward teaching you to stand, walk and sit with chest In an elevated position. Many Q fat-chested look has been cured by breathing exer- cises and by correction of posture defects.

The hardest role any mother can play is to be cheeful and encourag. Ing to her weaker child. Her heart prompts her to make an exception of him. She will have to plan e part, more or less, If she Is to en- courage the invalid or senni.invalid to feel that he does not lie outside the orbit of well people.
 In order to do this, she must bury her "sorriness' just c little. She must keep this chllds mind of his lack Of preparedness and build up in him faith in his powers. He sees other children being reprimand- cd much of the time. He won't feel so "hothouse-ish" if he gets c small portion of their roughagc. He says to himself .:Well, I must be as husky as Tim if mother thinks l can be sent to bed for sassing grandma" Or, T guess I'm not such 6 baby If dad thinks he can bawl me out for losing his pen" PITY FOR
 ILL CHILD
 Early illness in child, particu- lzrly If 1t has lasted Q long time or just escaped ending in death, often is the source of 6 fixation be- tween parents and child.
 Mother prayer when small Buddy lay at deaths door. She promised God that night, that If Buddy lived she would never say 6 cross word or make Buddy do anything but the thing he wanted to do; and dedi- cated her life as c slave to that little body racked with fever.
 Who can blame her? Not I. Yet, such consecratiofi may act in coin- plete reverse ot Buddy's best in. tereSts If carried out as she meant It. She can dedicate her life to the frail child who emerged and who may have to 90 many months still before he is quite himself.
 But she will Dc far happier, and make the child happier, If she is able to see what he needs to create grit, stamina, faith isi himself and feeling of being usual.
