BUYERS GUIDE
By Clarence II. Peacock

Last year Colored people spent ap-
proximately two million dollars for
halr preparations. In the same yeai
manufacturers of hair dressings and
pomades spent over $1,000 0 for adyer-
Using their products in the Colored
press. An additional $25,O0O was spent
in this market fol- miscellaneous adver-
Using in the Colored sections.
The Nelson Manufacturing Com
rany, manufacturers of Nelson's Hair
Dressing, one of the oldest nair dress
ings on the market, appreciates the
loyal support that Colored people have
given their advertisements in the Col
ored papers throughout the country
This company shows its apprecia-
tion of Colored patronage through the
continued employment of Negroes I'm
their manufacturing, sales and adver-
Using departments and through their
consistent advertising in the Negro
press.
The Nelson Manufacturing Com
pany was established thirty sever years
ago and has been SUCCESSFULLY operated
ever since without interruption. Only
through manufacturing a quality pro-
duct and through consistent advertis-
ing has this company been able to sur
vive this length of time. This company
does not use Objectionable and offen-
sive advertising copy as their adver-
tisements are made up with the Color

tition and breakdown" legislation.
There can be no recovery worthy of the
name so long as u relief rolls stay at
record levels and private business stag
mates, unable to absorb the unemploy-
ed. There can be no confidence to re-
vlve business so long as investors are
in constant fear of some Legislative
bombshell being exploded in Washing
ton.
Mr.. Hopkins did we'll to recognize
these conditions and not attempt to
dodge facts. Business does not want to
remain in a state of paralysis. Invest
ors don't want to hoard their money.
Most of the unemployed don't want to
stay on relief. To the contrary, busin-
ess wants to expand and go ahead. in
vestors want to put their money to
work building up the country, the un-
employed want real jobs.
This is a great country. Its capaci-
ties to produce and consume are close
TO limitless. There is no available cell
ing to the extent to which it should be
possible to raise the standard of living
Of everyone. But-and there is a big
but" indeed-private business, which
makes all material progress possible
must have confidence. 1t must have
faith. 1t must not be taxed to death. 1t
must not be legislated to death. 1t must
be encouraged to take the risks that
are an unacceptable part of economic
growth and social development.
II this government actually puts
into effect a constructive policy such
as described by Mr.. Hokins, there will
be a resurgence of industrial expansion
that will really bring recovery. He has
pointed to the sound way out of the
doldrums. 1t remains to be e now
whether other men in high position will
take a similarly constructive stand.

SPORTS AND ART

The material progress Negroes
have made in the South in the past rs
years is often contrasted with that
made by the same group in the North,
and the conclusion is generally reached
that we have not made the most of our
opportunities north of the Mason and
Dixon Line.
There is, however a type of pro-
gress found largely in the large urban
centers of the North not generally
found in the South. We refer to the
achievements in sports and the arts,
especially in recent years, and when
we consider the advertising value of
these achievements to the race W. can
not but feel that the North has contri-
buted its share to the advancement of
the Negro in America.
The stage has done much to gain
greater respect for the Negro, and the
present season has been an outstanding
one for the colored thespian. The con-
cert stage, through the efforts of Mar
ion Anderson, Roland Hayes, Paul Ro-
beson and numerous choral groups
have also contributed its share. Then
there are composers such as William
Grant Still. X. Nathaniel Dett, Will
Vodery, Duke Ellington, ETC., who have
done remarkably well. Nh. Stills theme
music for the New York Worlds Fair
DR.. Dett's o~ratorio, "rhe Ordering of
Moses" are signal achievements in the
music world without regard to rae or
color.
In the sport world the Negro has
Jared equally well in the North. No one
can doubt that Joe Louis would ever
have have been given opportunity to
become the worlds heavyweight cham
pion had he remained in Alabama, nor
would Henry Armstrong have gotten
tho chance to win three worlds titles

PLUGGING The HoLE

Lower wage scales IN the South
have long been a drag upon the econo-
mic development that section Of the
country and, at the same time, a men,
ace to the wage structure up here in
the North.
The recommendation of the Textile
Committee of the Wages-Hours Board
for a 3212 cent minimum for the textile
industry both in the North and the
South-eliminating the d~ifferential-
is, therefore, a notable one and may
we'll prove to be a precedent of great
Importance.
The new minimum, if enacted would
not only tend to bring Southern wages
up to the Northern level. but would
help put an end to the practice of put
ting the Negro textile worker in a
special category wen below that of
the Southern white worker.
1t is hoped that. despite the pres
sure now being exerted by Southern
mill owners, Wages-Hours Administra-
tor Andrews will give his official ap-
proval to the proposed minimum. Plug
ging the hole made by Southern en-
ployers in the wage structure, would
he a boom to the entire country.

EDITORIALS
WHO IS THE ROBBER?

When public power projects reduce
the rates below those charged by prl-
vate companies operating under the
same conditions, theirs a reason: pub
lie PROJECTS pay little or nothing In
taxes, are allowed to charge off a por-
ton of their expenditures to other
activities, such as navigation and flood
control. and, with all the credit of the
government behind them, are able to
get money at extremely low interest
rates. Director Lilienthal of iva ad-
mitted this at the congressional inves-
tigating last summer
Some recent figures concerning a
specific case cast a bright light on this
situation. The Consolidated Edison
Company, the largest private utility in
the nation, pays in taxes 2112 cents out
of every dollar it receives. If it were
taxed on the same basis as the IVA,
(which, with the municipalities distri-
buting its power sets aside a maximum
of 812 per cent-a far greater reduc-
ton than any government project has
yet put into effect.
Another glaring example of public
ownership short-change is the Ontario
Hydro Electric Commission. 1t pays but
one mill in taxes out of each dollar of
revenue. If Consolidated Edison were
given the same tax freedom, it could
cut it's domestic rate by 66-2s per cent.

in st. Louis. The Negro track stars
have been given the opportunity to
compete with all other races in the
North and have been consistent win
ners over a long period OF years, SO
that they now reign supreme IN track
In basketball and football, they have
been outstanding stars IN many of the
leading college teams.
True, there are occasional show
lngs OF poor craftsmanship like the ex-
ample OF Johnny McHugh In the a
of John Borican, but these have become
the exception rather than the rule. 1t is
u opinion that as many whites de-
plore these incidents as Negroes and
we have faith that eventually the
weight of public opinion will put a stop
to them.
On the whole, we believe that while
the North has not accorded the Negro
full economic opptrunity, it has given
him much more freedom in the arts
sports and politics than have any other
sections of the country. And the use the
Northern Negro has made Of these op-
portunities has reflected general credit
to the race throughout the country.

HE WHO DOES THE SHAPING

1t was an act of typical Southern
bourbonism the other day when Rep.
Cox, anti-New Deal Democrat Of Geor-
gia arrogantly slapped the face OF a
constituent who had come to Washing
ton to protest Cox's opposition to the
Presidents WPA request
The man slapped was a progressive
white Southerner-and there are thou
sands of them coming up to plague the
Coxes today who made the trip to
Washington with his fellow constituent
a Negro. Their very presence bespoke
the growing Negro and white unity in
the South. Their trip showed they have
common sense, common need-and
Cox showed they have a common
enemy.
When the white worker asked the
high and mighty Cox to listen to the
Negro, Cox replied with a slap-which
was a blow against the most vital in
terests of the South and the nation.
In Negro and white unity arising
in the South, Cox and the other reac-
tionaries see the handwriting on the
wall. And the calm words of the white
worker, dooms Cox even lore: IF that
is the way you feel, we will remember
this at the election"

END OF SEASON WARNING

HYw safe from fire hazards will
your home be for the balance of the
time you run your heating plant?
Fire losses take a decided squirt at
the end of the cold weather season. 1t
isn't necessary to look far to find the
cause OF this. Households have been
running their heating plants steadily
since the first cold snap in the fall. De-
fects are apt to develop in stoves, fur
naces or chimneys. Chimney flues may
become clogged with SCOT.
A fire prevention engineer gives
suggestions for avoiding fires from de-
fective heating systems at this time OF
year. He warns against forcing furna-
ces or stoves and says that if you can't
get enough warmth from them, it will
pay you to call in a heating expert. He
suggests that h~ouseholders check V e
their heating systems to look for such
defects as broken parts, holes in the
smoke pipe, burnable material near the
smoke pipe or any very hot part of the
heating plant that becomes charred
from the radiated heat. Look for dirty
or defective chimneys.
If you don't feel entirely sure that
your heating system is safe, it is best
not to wait until you have let the fire go
out in the spring. In fact it may be deci-
dedly dangerous in blustery weather.
Heating plant fires, particularly, are
a ena to life, because they are so
apt to occur in the early morning hours
or at night.
Act on this suggestion for safety's
sake!

REPORT PROVES SOUND
NESS OF SUPREME LIBTY

According to an : independents
report compiled by the Stand
ard Analytical Service, the SUI
preme Liberty Life Insurance
company, of Chicago, has more
assets for each 500 of liabili-
ties than any of the II largest
white insurance companies of
the United States. Included in
the list is the great Metropolitan
Life Insurance company Of New
York wi hasets of $106.77 for
each 500 of liabilities. Supreme
Liberty has assets of $120.49 for
leach 500 of liabilities.
In its report to Supreme Lii
berty the Standard Analytical
Service Indicated that age and
size alone were not the only
criteria by which the soundness
of life insurance company
could be judged. The report
pointed out that "The best Test
of strength of any company is
the amount of assets it has in
proportion to it's liabilities"
Officials of the company in
commenting on the report said
that the present economic status
of the company was a result OF
careful and Diversified invest
ments. The company has a port
folio of over $65O,OOO in rail
road, public utility and United
States Government bonds. II

principles of government for
which Lincoln stood are the
foundations upon which our

any state dominated by the
ideals for which Lincoln stood,
