stake everything on victory this
summer.
Returning officials report that

The shortage is not only in food.
stuffs but also in clothing, which is
rationed to insure the supply for
the armed forces. A woman may
buy clothing only to the extent of 100
points" in the course of a whole
year. And a single pair Of silk
stockings rates 80 points.
More important from the military
viewpoint is the report that German
gasoline is of such poor quality that
it, befouls the motors and causes
frequent requirements.

north and west of it Nebraska in
cluded) should be free. The Neb-
raska-Kansas bill left it to the set
tiers to decide whether or not it
should be slave or free.
Slavery never did become dom
inant in Nebraska because the peo-
pie never voted for it and the
branch of the Underground Rail
road" in Iowa made it difficult TO
hold the slaves.
Slavery and the fear of i%ncreas-
ed taxes delayed the admission of
Nebraska as a state. The first at
tempt was defeated in 1860 but
statehood was voted for by a maj
ority of one hundred votes in 1866.
The first State Constitution was
not accepted by Congress because
Congress required the legislature
to revise the Constitution SO that
it allowed only white men to vote.
no one would be kept from voting
because of his color. This was
done and President Andrew John
son issued a proclamation making
Nebraska a state on March /, 1867.
Though we often feel that pre-
JUDGED sentiment from some
therners and southerners, we are
glad that our freedom in Nebraska
was lawful from the beginning.

With the March winds bowling
around the corners of buildings and
the last traces of winter in the mir,
most of us are a bit run down
from a long hard winter, and It's
a lucky girl who can step into
spring without at least one bad cold
to her creditor discredit. Because
colds are worn enemies of beauty
and romance. A man would have
to be pretty much in love to look
with pleasure at a girl with blood
shot eyes, a red, sniffly nose and n
hacking cough. We all instinctively
draw away from a person with n
bad cold so the logical solution Is
TO avoid a cold in the first place.
Keep Fit
Here are some eommon-sense sug-
gestions for avoiding the start of
a cold: Keep In the best physical
condition possible don't allow your
self to become over-tired nor ex-
pose yourself unduly to temperature
changes. Get plenty of sleep, fresh
air and exercise and maintain a
sensible, balanced diet. Lack of
sleep and proper food at this time
of year leaves you a ready prey to
colds. And If, in spite of taking all
possible precautions. you find your
self with a heavy head and n fever
ish feeling, do something about 1t
Immediately. If possible, 90 to bed
and stay there for n day or two.
If you can't stay there all the time,
get as much extra sleep as possible,
drink lots of water and fruit juices
and avoid unnecessary fatigue.

feathers and other other items that
you have in mind then go after
them-but all this work you have
done isn't going to change things

Nebraska Has a Birthday
This great state of Nebraska will
be seventy-three years old on Mar.
|, having been admitted into the
Union on this date in 1867. Space
in this column does not permit a
detailed discussion of Nebraska
history, but it is very interesting.
There was a time when there was
nothing here but Indians. buffalo
es and beavers. Then the explor-
ers and fur traders came and found
many things. Following these
came the pioneer settlers who
moved westward in covered wag-
ons. This moving westward con-
tinued to crowd the Indian west
ward and southwark. It was OPP
posed by some because of the In
dian question.
But we, Negroes should be
thankful for the present develop
ment of Nebraska because our stat
us as slaves was a determining fac
tor in its settlement. The will to
authorize the forming of the Ter
ritory of Nebraska was defeated
three times, but the fourth one
passed in 1854. The decision of
the Missouri Compromise was that
Nebraska should be free because
Missouri was to be admitted as a
slave state, but all other territory
