a change in the general attitude

We wish to call to the attention
of our educators and social workers
the splendid research monographs
now being issued by the Division
Of Social Research, Works Progress
Administration, Washington. We
have recently perused such volumes
as Farming Hazards in the Drough-
til Area" "Rural Families on Re-
lief and "Rural Youth: Their Sit
uation and Prospects" These are
exhaustive studies, directed by train
ed sociologists, and they have both
current and permanent value.
For instance, in the 167 page
work on Rural Youth we learn in
| the chapter, Marriage of Rura
YOUTH that: "Color and residence
both influence the proportion o.
youth Of the various ages which j:
married. In 1880 relatively mort
| Negro than white youth were mar
| ried in all segments Of the popula
tion-urban, rural-farm, and rural
non-farm. While more Negro youns
men in rural-farm than in rural-non
farm territory were married, the re
verse was true for Negro young Wo
men with the exception of those q
years of age"
We also note that where photo
graphs are used the Government
publications, photographs Of Negroes

DEVELOP CHEAP
PAINT FOR
RURAL HOMES
BY A. w. CURTIS, Jr.,

DR.. C. w. Carver

TUSKEGEE tAMPl Travelling
through the South, one')s attention
is attracted to the aeNlorabIe condi-
tions and the absence Of paint from
homes. I'll the majority Of cases il
is not negligence, shiftlessness nor
lock Of interest or pride that are the
reasons why homes are not painted.
II is rather the inability Of farmers
to spend money for that purpose.
With the meagef income that they
earn, painting ii practically impos-
sible. AS one farmer stated THE
money that could have been used
to paint the house was needed to pay
the children expenses il school
Most rural houses are bnilt with
unfinished lumber, wiiich eliminates
the use Of the finer commercial Or
cheaper grades Of paint. II was not
a cheaper paint adapted To use on
unfinished lumber that was wanted,
but a paint that could be prepared
by the farmer from waste material
or native material that possessed the
necessary qualitiesit was a pre-
servative and beautifier that was
needed The work was begun at
Tuskegee to find q cheap source Of
paint material for the rural home

Unquestionably the real purpose
of the visit Of the royal pair to Can
ada and the United States was the
building Of good will and the bring
ing about Of a greater friendship be-
tween the great nations OF the new
world and the British government.
That such purpose has been ac-
complished cannot be questioned.
George and Elizabeth proved them
selves to be so genuine, SO likeable,
and 50 human and sincere, that they
quickly made friends of all those
who had .he opportunity to see or

historic occasion, for it marked the
first time that any ruling heads Of
Great Britain ever visited the United
States. Then, too, it was from one
of his predecessors King George

freedom. On every hand the royal
pair could see statues and famous
paintings of those who rebelled
against England more than a hund-

Queen Elizabeth is deserving of a
paragraph all her own. The Com
moner Queen won the hearts of all
who saw and met her. More beauti-
full than her pictures, she smiled her
way through the arduous Washing

that went on about her. Every bit a
mother, she spoke often of her chill
dren left at home and on several oc-
easionss held up the progress of the
royal party to chat with Girl Scouts
and other youngsters about their
life here in America, telling them Of
what her own children were doing
IN England. Men, women and chill
dren alike enthused over her and
agreed with the words of one Of the
ecret service men who said: "she
really looked like Queen"

in very few instances. King George

Handicap in Long

BY the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, July IA
Edwin N. Pauley's 85-foot schooner
Fandango has reported 815 miles
from the island of Oahu in the 2085-
mile San Francisco-to-M Manila yacht
race.
This report placed the Fandango
SIS miles ahead of the Chubasco, ST.
foot yawl entered by w. L. Stewart,
jr.. of Los Angeles.
Position reports of II boats of the
26 entered. relayed by Globe Wire
less, showed the Fandango far in
the lead, with Zoe third. 931 miles
from Oahu, and Contender and
Bitten about neck-and-neck 936
miles from the island.
The Contender estimated the
Brilliant was 973 miles from Oahu;
Odyssey, 983. and Jorie, 1912.
OF the leading boats reported, the
Bitten seemed in best position to
win the race. With a handicap of
3 days 48 minutes Is seconds,
the Bermuda race victor entered by
Richard j. Reynolds of New York,
has more than day and half
allowance in which to make up the
12l miles difference between it and
the Fandango.
The Dorado, 1896 winner, gave no
position report, but other informa-
ton placed it considerably behind
the leading eight boats, and its
handicap is less than that of the
Bitten.
