BY their leaves you shall know
them. Three leaves spell "foe."
which the poison ivy Is certainly.
The Virginia creeper. with It's five
leaves tries to spell friend" but
does not quite make it-the result
is the same, even though 1t is . Ave.
leaf plant.
Now every one who is q nature
lover has been warned not to touch
poison ivy. There are some who are
not allergic to the plant, but those
who are suffer. oh, row they SUI
ferl
This enemy is . native perennial
and continues its race through seeds
and by root stock. It Is In bloom
from May until July. then is very
busy maturing its fruits. They are
full size by the latter part Of Aug
ust and remain on the stem al
winter Il the birds permit them to.
This plant Is . globe trotter and
from Nova Scotia to British Co.

lumbia, southwark to Florida, Ar
kansas and Utah Is very hourishing.
There is nothing secretive about
the plant. It selects sunny road
sides. waste places, fence rows and
along the edges Of woods, to mention
. few spots. Your own cherished
flower garden may produce . very
fine showing. In fact, those who
are restoring old gardens and trying
to clear neglected spots have paid
dearly for not recognizing an arch
foe.
Though the result of fondling the
poison ivy or even coming in con-
tact with the plant will cause fear
full blotching Of the skin and water
blisters" that are alarming to look
at when in their prime, but do not
leave scars, beyond anguish of
mind and sleepless nights, until
something is done to conquer or
deaden the poison, the general
health Of the sufferer Is not injured.
The poison is not soluble in water:
therefore, to wash the af1licted parts
is to spread the trouble. Alcohol will
dissolve and remove the poison If
applied right after contact.
The plant may develop into q
husky, bushy shrub or 1t may be
found sprawling and trailing over
the ground. Again, 1t may take to
climbing trees by means Of aerial
rootlets.
The leaves are compound, with
three leaflets, ovate and pointed,
with few teeth. They resemble the
leaflets Of the woodbine or Virginia
creeper.
The flowers are small, greenish
white, and in loose, axillary panciles,
with flve parted calyx. five petals,
five stamens and q one-celled seed
box (ovary).
The fruits are smooth and waxy
and greenish white In color. They
dangle In clusters Of about the size
of currants, and each contains one
seed.
This pest, furnished free trans
portation by all birds from the
smallest to Jim Crow, is one to reck-
on with. It Is q fast grower and
develops many seed children. Some
one has suggested that those who
are immune to the poison Of the
plant do their gracious turn by
helping to rid the earth Of It. II

spread in trading ranks. Steels re-
covered early losses. Prices in the
final hour were about the best of the
day.
Dealings we're livelier on the up

OF about 100000 shares for the full

the upside were Delaware g. Hud-

PHILLY PLANS ON 10000 BAP-
lists AT CONVENTION

Philadelphia, Aug. 10, amp
The National Baptist convention,
the largest religious body among
Negroes, will hold its annual ses-
sion here for two weeks begin
ming Sept. 5. The Rev. c. c. Adj
ans, president of the Pennsylvan-
ia State Baptist association, said
10000 Baptists will attend the
September meeting, a record at
tendance for the convention during
the past 10 years. The sessions,
which will be held in Convention
hall, will consist of both closed
and open meetings. The passage of
sectional legislation, which will af-
feet the Southern wings of the
convention, is also predicted.
Sessions of the women's auxili-
airy which is under the leadership
of Mrs. S. Willie Layton of Phil
adelphia will be held simultan-
eously in the mirror room of Con-
vention hall. Women will comprise
more than $500 of the delegates
to the convention, which is head
ed by DR.. Laaey Kirk Williams of
Chicago.
Said Rev. Adams in announcing
the meeting: ut is significant
that both the national convention
and the mid-year session of the
bishops council of the AME church
have selected Philadelphia as the
meeting place. Representing as
they do the whole strength of the
leading organized branches of
Christianity among Negroes, these
meetings will do much to show
Philadelphia the living power Of
organized Negro Christians"
The Baptist state leader pointed
out that his denomination is join
ing the front already established
by leaders of the AME and AME
Zion connections toward unitina
all Negro religious bodies in mat
ters affecting the race as a whole.
Local leaders of thestrong Bap-
fist organization said it was not
certain whether the church would
consider resolutions condemning

government is pushing Stun clear

posed plan for government health

MISSOURI SUPREME COURT
REFUSES TO SHUT DOOR
OF UNIVERSITY TO GAINES

Jefferson City, Mo. Aug. 10
The supreme court of Missouri
handed down this week an opin-
ion reversing the decision of the
Boone County circuit court rem
dered originally in the Floyd
Gaines Case in which Gaines was
seeking admission to the Univer-
sty of Missouri Law school.
This latest action in the famous
University of Missouri case is i'm
conformity with the opinion of
the U. S. Supreme court, delivered
last December IL.
The states highest court by its
opinion does not order the Uni
versity to admit Gaines to its Law
school does not shut the UNIVERSE
ty to him. It takes notice of the
fact the State of Missouri, since
the u. 8. supreme court opinion,
has directed the establishment of
a law school for Negroes at Lin
coin university, and has appropri-
ated a sum of 100000 for this
purpose.
The court holds in its opinion
that IL the lower court should find
as a fact that the newly-establish-
ed law school at lincoln is not
Substantially equivalent to uhe
facilities offered at the UNIVERSE
ty of Missouri then the writ must
issue.
The Judgment of the Boone cir
cuit court was the original deci-
sion in the Gaines case, and denied
him a writ of mandamus compel
ling the University to admit him.
From this decision an appeal was
taken to the Missouri supreme
court which affirued the derial
of the writ. From this decision an
appeal was taken to the U. S. Su
preme court which reversed tina
Missouri supreme court.
Reargument of the case before
the Missouri supreme court was
held May % with Charles H. Hou-
ston of the New York office OF
the NAACP and Sidney R. Red
mond of st. Louis, member of the
national legal committee, appear
ing for Gaines.
The present opinion of the state
supreme court reverses its affir-
nation of the denial of the writ
by the Boone circuit court, and re-
mands the case to the circuit court
for further proceedings.
