Hits Program Adver-
Using

Editor: AS a business man, / am
constantly contacted by individuals
wanting me to place an ad in their
programs. Most program advertis-
ing is not worth the paper upon
which it is printed. Ads which ap-
pear in them are simply cash gifts
from the unhappy merchant who
must perforce buy space in one of
them.
In the final analysis the only
person who profits from an adver-

advertiser and the group which
sponsors it get little value.

posite color, white" does not seem
to have enjoyed the same favorit-
ism. According to Plutarch, in the
Life of Agesilaus, when that king
made an expedition into Persia, he
ordered his commissaries, one day
to strip and sell all the prisoners.
Their clothes sold freely, but as to
the prisoners themselves, their
skins being soft and white, by rea-
son of their having lived so much
within doors, the spectators only
laughed at them, thinking they
would be of no service as slaves.
In 1888, Solomon HUMPHREYS, a
Negro of Macon, Georgia, owned
one of the largest grocery stores
in town; $4,000 worth of property
and some slaves. ....
In Biblical times the slave some
times escaped Il Sam. 25:10) in
which event, the master had the
right of reception. This right seems
to have extended to the territory
of the neighboring nations, as was
exemplified in the case of Shimei
pursuing his fugitives into the ter
ritory, and even to the house of
the King of Gath Il Kings 2:39, 4O).
With the characteristic exclusive
ness of the Jews, they denied this
right to other nations, whose slaves
sought refuge among them (Deut.
23:15,16).

LISTEN TO THIS
By Hobart T. Mitchell

The first mixed jury ever i'm
paneled in the United States were
to try Jefferson Davis, president
of the Confederate States, for trea-
son, but the case never came to
trial. There were twelve whites
and twelve Negroes. Chief Justice
Salmon P. Chase was to preside.
(The author of this column has
picture of this jury.)
Servius Tullius, the sixth king of
Rome, the son of Ocrisia who was
a captive and a slave. Tullius'
mother was a bondfnaid.
"And he who graced the purple
which he wore,
The last good King of Rome,
bondmaid BORE"
In early history the Irish do not
seem ever to have engaged in slav-

Nelson, mulatto vs.. The People
of the State of Illinois.
This was a prosecution under the
act of February IL, 1853, to pre-
vent Negroes and mulattoes emf
grating into the state of Illinois.
The third section of the act de-
clares, that if any Negro or mu-
latto, bond or free, shall come into
this state and remain ten days
with the evident intention of re-
siding in the same, such Negro or
mulatto shall be deemed guilty of
high misdemeanor, and for the
first offense shall be fined fifty dol
lars, to be recovered before any
justice of peace of the county
where such Negro or mulatto shall
be found. It also directs that the
proceedings shall be in the name of
the people, and a trial by jury of
twelve men.
The fourth section declares, that
if such Negro or mulatto shall be
found guilty, and the fine assessed
be not forthwith paid to the justice
before whom the proceedings shall
be had, it shall be the duty of the
justice of the peace to commit the
Negro or mulatto to the custody of
the sheriff, or otherwise keep him,
her or them, in custody; and the
justice of the peace is required
forthwith to advertise the Negro
or mulatto, by posting up notices
in at least three most public places
IN the district, for ten days, and,
on the day and place named in the
notice, the justice shall, at public
auction, proceed to sell such Negro
or mulatto to any person who shall
pay the fine and costs for the short
est period.
And the power is conferred upon
the purchaser to compel such
Negro or mulatto to work for and
serve out the time, and is required
to furnish such Negro or mulatto
with comfortable food, clothing,
and lodging during the servitude.

a favorite among slaves. The OPP

The Big Brother
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.

By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
It seems like at certain times .
Someone, either an individual or
nation
Assumes, or is assigned the big
brother role
To help settle certain situations.
The world has been fortunate so
far -
In having Uncle Sam take that
part,
And he has been looked upon
AS the saviour from the start.
Sometimes the role gets to be con-
tinuous
Due to the fact it is accepted,
BY the parties who undoubtedly
are weak
Look for strong friend to be pro-
tected.
Charity begins at home
In accepting this role let's not for
get,
That it's nice to be helpful to all
But Glands off" has proven the
best policy yet.
Sympathy is one thing, common
sense is another
And it's sometimes hard to decide,
Just what a nation or individual
should do
Or just let things slide.
Good often is misconstrued, when
help is offered
Efforts can easily be wasted,
When acting as a peace maker
Causing mediator to be thorough
ly disguised.

a hungry Negro worker the man
who keeps him out of a job be-
cause of his color is his enemy,
whether that man be an employer
or labor leader.
CLIO Has Done Better
The CIO has done better on this
question than William Green's out
fit. Let that fact be remembered
when plans for uniting the two
labor movements get to a concrete
stage. If the A. F. of L. should
enforce its Jim crow-exclusion
policy in the agreement to unite,
the Negro worker will be out in
the cold truly. His only salvation
is to fight now for his own well
fare. His first step should be an
intensified fight to amend the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act so that
unions which draw a color line
shall not be recognized as agents
to bargain collectively with en-
ployers. Labor leaders, like poll
ticians, do not understand concilia-
ton and cooperation; they under
stand and react only to uncom-
promising opposition. The more
docile we are, the less we will get;
the more hell we raise, the more
we will get.

Realizing that dirt contains

fore a carrier Of most common
diseases, recent conventions of the
American Medical Association
have displayed considerable inter-
est in the findings of a H o m e
Washing Survey conducted over a
period of 20 consecutive weeks.
Samples of the last rinse water
were taken from washing in ten
typical American homes for 20
successive weeks-a total of 200
average washings. S m p l S of
the last rinse water were also TAX
en from 100 typical laundries. AL
these samples were submitted to
a meteorological laboratory f r
analysis. Here is what was found.
The average bacteria count in the
last rinse water Of 200 home wash
ings was 318, 1872 bacteria per cubic
centimeter Of last rinse water The
average backeria count in the last
rinse water from 100 commercial
laundries was 81 bacteria per cub
ic centimeter Of last rinse water.
None of the homes in which sur
veys were made used more than
four changes of water, and in most
cases only three changes were
used! All the laundries surveyed
used from ten to twelve complete
changes of water during each SIN
