off; keep them out of circulation
for about 10 years while working
with interracial groups composed
Of those who understand that Abe
Lincoln has been dead over half
a century, and that although he
was all right In his day, time has
marched on since then leaving in
its wake new problems of uni
versal Importance, to be solved not
by this for one race and that for
another, but that which works for
the greatest good Of all the COM
ponent parts Of the human race.
Youth today looks back on the
political mistakes of its fathers
some made because of stumbling
blocks that could not be moved
and others made because of an I'M
quenchable beside for unwarranted
power or love for money which
many times accounted for the race
coming out on the short end of po-
litical deals.
Now lets take a look at our
so-called leaders not identified with
the great game of politics. This
leadership has been found in all
walks of life, but usually on the
walks that led nowhere for the
race as whole. do not mean that
we have had no good leaders, but
those who did think of the people
before self, have been few and far
between, and their achievements
have been heralded far less than
those of the synthetic leadership
which shall attempt to illustrate.
For years we have chosen our
leaders from the rank and file of
professional men, doctors, dentists,
lawyers. Men with responsible jobs
or positions; men who contribute
heavily to civic funds, who know
Mr.. so-and-so ETC., and also mini
sters. The ministers were chosen,
I believe because we have been
laboring under the impression that
this is a Christian world and that
through the brothers of the cloth,
the ultimate abolition of minority
oppression could be reached.

Frank Burns would be a problem
to his attractive wife and his fami-
ly consisting of an 18-year-old
daughter now attending the Uni
versity of Washington, and his 16-
year-old son in high school if they
were inclined to be uppish on ac-
count of the success of the head of
the house. But that problem COULD
MT exist around Frank Burns be-
cause he is a natural-born debunk-
err.
Likes People
Perhaps the key to his whole
success is that he likes people and
they seem to like him, judging by
the way he keeps on stepping
ahead in life.
If he decides to step towards
the governorship it is quite possi-
BILE that Frank Burns will be the
next governor.

Mrs. Fausett Not TIl Quit

Mrs. Crystal Bird Fausett, who
was the first Negro woman elect

resigned TO be assistant state dir
ector of the WPA, denied this
week that she will quit WPA in
order to direct a section of the
Roosevelt Campaign.
With the Hatch act acting like a
hatchet preventing persons on the
federal payroll from political act
ivity, rumors were rather consist
ent that the silver tongued New
Dealer would have to make a
change. Il contemplate no
change, she told the AMP this
week. "When there is a change
to be made, I'll see that the public
knows it. However, I can say very
frankly that | hope Mr.. Roosevelt
will be reelected because | feel
that the best interests Of the Ne

FLUSH KIDNEYS OF
ACID AND POISONS
GAIN IN HEALTH AND STOP
GETTING UP NIGHTS

When kidneys are continually
over-burdened they often become
weak-the bladder is irritated =
often passage is scanty and smarts
nightly visits to the bathroom are
frequent.
A safe, harmless and inexpens-
i've way to relieve this trouble and
belp restore more healthy action
to kidneys and bladder is to get
from any druggist 35 cent box
of GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil
Capsules and take as directed.
Don't be an EASY MARK and
accept a substitute Get Gold
Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules-the
original and genuine. Look for the
Gold Medal on the box-35 cents.
Remember-other symptoms of
kidney and bladder trouble may be
backache, puffy eyes, nervousness
and leg cramps.

Practice What You
Preach

Practice Mhat you preach" is
one of the guiding principles Of
the life of the ST. Louis, Mo. hair
dye manufacturer, Charles w
Godefroy, and Mr. Godefroy lives
up to his preachments.
For years this Negro benefaetor
has advocated that Negro employ
ees in industry receive the same
vacation grants accorded other
workers. But Mr.. Godefroy has
done more than advocated this
practice: he observes it.
This yeor, as in past years, the
Godefroy Manufacturing Comp
any has its employees designate
two as the company's Vacation
peric,l." During that per'pd, all
employees simultaneously take
their vacations. Product manu-
facture is sufficiently geared dur
ing earlier months of the year to
provide sufficient supplies for the
vacation period.
And this year, as in past years,
all Negro members of the comp
any participated in the genera
vacation period, with full pay.

recently asked of me by readers of
Beauty and Romance" The an
swers are quite obvious.
No woman can afford to be a
carbon-copy of another woman. To
make yourself different, would you !:
Buy a jacket that is most unusual
even If it isn't flattering?
Wear black shoes with an other
wise white outfit?
Fashion your hair tightly to your
lead when most are fluffing it?
Little Nervous Habits
Are you a shoulder-strap grabber,
| table-drummer, or a bracelet
iddler? Small nervous habits can
be glamour-robbers.
When you have a date to an i'm
,ortant function with one man,
would you break 1t to go with the
hero of the hour" If the hero
suddenly asks you?
Are your around-the-house clothes

is your street clothes?
What is your social speciality

hostess, being a good companion?

lighter, grayer streaks might add
dignity to your appearance?
Any Woman Can Be Glamorous
Any woman can be glamorous
who has a mind of her own, little
confidence in herself and knows how
to use the right shade of cosmetics
and patronizes the right hairdresser.
Men always look twice at women
who know how to be women g.
who know the value of daintiness,
the art of conversation, the outs and
ins of everyday social etiquette. Be
different, yes. But don't be too
noticeably different Be gay. But
don't be rowdyl Be Independent.
But don't be so Independent that
you are a wallflowerl
And here is my final question: II
a new girl comes to town with a
ravishingly different hair style,
should you rush to have your hair
styling copy hers, or should you
have your hairdresser create a new
style for you, or should you tenn
porarily at least continue with your
present hair style? Think real hard
and then do the latter and no
one can accuse you OF being a copy
