Military Chiefs
Urged To Lower
Bars In Armed Forces

NEW Notwithstanding of War
Henry l.. Stimson and Secretary
of Navy, Frank Knox, recently
appointed by President Roosevelt,
were urged by the N. A. A. C. P.
TO remove all discrimination
against Negroes in the armed fore
es.
The N. A. A. G. p pointed out
that Negroes are prevented from
enlisting in any branch of the Ma
Wy save the mess corps, and from
most branches of the Army with
the exception of a few segregated
units. 1.-THE new defense program"
the N. A. A. G. p. letter stated,
depends entirely upon the estab-
lishment of unity among the Anne
rican citizens of this country. The
refusal to fully integrate Negroes
who constitute the largest minority
group in this country tends to de-
stroy that unity which is necessary
to the success of the new defense
program"
The N. A. A. G. P. urged de-
Tense secretaries ito take the ne
cessary steps to prevent any dis
elimination against Negroes in the
new defense program and to re-
move the old types of discrimina-
ton now existing in the present
armed forces to the end that Ne
groes will be integrated into the
armed forces without discrimina-
ton because of race or color"

Negroes Protest
Third Term
BY Emmett Scott

Washington, D. c. - Colored
Leaders throughout the country
are deeply stirred by The Third
Term Issue that has been pre-
cipitated by the denomination of
President Roosevelt by the Demo-
cratic National Convention at Chi
cago.
These outstanding Leaders of the
Colored people of the United States
make very plain their well founded
fears that Mr.. Roosevelt's re-elec-
ton in November will mean the
continuance of every New Deal
policy, every New Deal excess, and
every New Deal threat to the con-
tinued existence of Constitutional
Government in the United States.
Also they see in a Third Term
added harshness in connection with
the administration of New Deal
Agencies as they affect the Negro
group. They resent the apparent
persistence of the effort of the
Democratic Administration to
make Colored citizens permanent
wards of the nation" by placing
them on direct and work relief
rolls instead of opening the doors
for employment at regular jobs in
industry.

ANU Isl Opposes
Draft Bill

Registering an emphatic protest
against the Burke-Wadsworth Ad-
ministration bill, the first peace
time CONSUMPTION, A. M. u. No.
.151 went on record as being I'M
alterably opposed to it. Resolu-
lions adopted by them were or
dered sent to President Roosevelt,
Senator Burke, Congressman Wad-
sworth, the entire Washington
Congressional delegation, William
Green and to the press.
The Resolution is signed bv
John B. Bader, president and
Wayne Bryant, recording secretary
and recites in part:
This bill, in addition to univer-
sal military CONSUMPTION, also pro-
vides for labor CONSUMPTION where
by men and women would be
drafted to work at scab wages on
any job forced upon them, there
by wiping out all of labor's gains
and destroying our trade unions,
similar to the labor and military
CONSUMPTION SO abhorrent in Nazi
Germany. The working people of
the United States demonstrated
unselfishly during the last World
War their willingness to give their
lives for their country while the
traitorous record of the dollar a
year" men have blackened the
pages of American history"

Miss Mary Yarbra
Crowned Queen

Entering the popularity contest
of the Northwest Enterprise just
13 days before it's close, Miss Mary
Yarbra, sponsored by the popular
six Crowns" soon took the lead
in the race. Cheered on by her
faithful and hard working cohorts,
Miss Yarbra led her field all the
way and never was headed, win
ming by wide margin.
The same enthusiasm with which
the "Six Crowns" chose a queen
to represent them in the contest
never waned until the Queen of
Swing" herself had placed the
crown upon the charming young
lady. Nor was Miss Yarbra a
queen of creation. Her charm,
natural beauty and winning man.
ner, her artistic pose-a queen in
her own right, added to the popu-
larity of her elevation to high and
we'll earned honors.
Five other members of the Six
Crowns-Mrs. Roberta Ray Col
Inns, Miss Alma Wilson, Miss Re-
gina Twaits, Miss Dorothy Nc
Clery and Mrs. Mary Tanner, each
equally as captivating, served as
the queens retinue, and led her
to a triumphant victory and her
crown.
The Northwest Enterprise is in
deed grateful for the very agrees
sive campaign of the Six Crowns
: in adding to its subscribers. AS a
reward, it was pleasure for the
Publisher of the Northwest En-
terprise to present the Queen of
the popularity contest and the
queen of the "Six Crowns" check

Congressman J. M.
Coffee Seeks
Reelection

In the fall of 1886, the people
of the 9Th Congressional District
conferred upon me the honor of
representing them as their cong
ressman in the national capital. By
an even larger vote, they re-elect-
ed me to that office in 1888. Dur
inng this time, have tried, and,
believe, succeeded in represent
ing the individual and collective
interests of the people of this dis
trict in a manner which meets
with their approval.
The record of my vigorous
championship of many pension
measures, including those which
have as their aim the establish
ment of a genuine national old age
pension plan that will facilitate
our economic recovery, is one of
which I am proud. 1t has been my
pleasure to participate in the fight
for all veterans legislation pro-
viding for recognized reasonable
preference clauses and other mea-
sures concerned with benefits and
compensation allowances to vet
Grams, their widows and depend
ents.
On many occasions have lifted
my voice against monopolistic big
business in the United States. The
people of America, the State of
Washington, and my congressional
district know that where monopoly
exists our local businessmen are
driven to the wall by the compel
tive practices used against them.
Following that, all of us as con-
sumers undergo full measure of
exploitation by these same mon
opolies. In my home district, and
wherever else I have been privi-
legged to raise my voice, 1 am
known as bitter opponent of any
measure, any device, or any pol
icy which may tend to involve
this country in the European or
Asiatic wars. At the same time,
I have given the present admin
istration full support in the mat
ter of providing the necessary
authorization for funds with which
to proceed rapidly on a program
of national defense that will offer
our shores protection against at
tack by foreign enemy. In this
problem, as with nearly all others
that confront me in the Congress,
the matter of political PARTISAN
ship has no place and never will
govern my actions as representa-
tive of all the people of the Sixth
Congressional DlStr1ct. My aim has
been and will continue to be one of
giving a maximum of prompt and
efficient service to every person,
every organization and every in
stitution in the district, regardless
of political belief or nationality.
I believe this congressional dis
trict to be the finest in America.
On the basis of my record, 1 ann
nounce my candidacy for re-elec-
ton to Congress Subject to the
Democratic primaries of Septem-
Der 10), thus indicating my desire
to continue serving the people of
the 9Th District who have twice
honored me with this high and
responsible post.

Extracts at this time from a
few of the dozens of letters which
have come to Republican National
Committee Headquarters, which
follow, indicate the present state
of feeling among Colored citizens
as the Third Term Issue becomes
almost the paramount controversy
in the struggle which lies ahead:
Pillars of Democracy Endangered
James A. Washington, D.
c., former Assistant U. S. District
Attorney, and former Municipal
Judge of the District of Columbia:
while it is not a technical viola
ton of the Constitution of the u
nited States for a person to be
nominated and elected for a third
term, it certainly is in violation
of the spirit and the custom that
has existed since the adop-
ton of the Constitution of the
United States /. F. To say that the
present President of the United
States is the only one capable of
heading the Government in an e.
mergency is to admit that Democ-
racy is a failure I do not be-
lieve the American people are
ready to sacrifice this great I'M
written principle of the Constitu-
ton of the United States. If so,
one of the strongest pillars of A.
merican Democracy has fallen.

 "Olive," he said suddenly, knock ing his pipe against the rail, T could have gone ten times as far if it hadn't been for my voice."
 "Your voice?"
 "Yes, you see, the minute I tried to impress point on my em- ployees, I talked too 1oud and too much. The minute I got excited or upset, up went my pitch about an octave. I lost control to a certain extent. Once I lost the biggest order of my whole experience because l used too much pressure" SAY IT SOFTLY
 But enough of Uncle John here. His words are clear to me, however, whenever get bit impressive.
 Over the years I hear his ad- vice: When you want to make a point, or get your way, my dear, remember to keep your voice low. There is your best friend and your best weapon.
 Shakespeare wrote, "Her voice was soft and low, an excellent thing in a woman"
 A quiet, sure manner, and con- trolled tone, work magic. Couple this with a smile and lots of sym pathy and I think you have recipe worth its weight in gold. Parents are not army officers barking Squads right" and "As you were"

 AMERICAN GIRLS
 HAVE SOFT HOURS The women MT. Brockhurst paints are regarded by other women as the worlds great beauties. Yet he picks Sadie Smith for looks.
 MT. Brockhurst finds more of these unknown beauties" in New York than in London because he says the American woman can dress becomingly on almost noth- ing. Also, working conditions are better here than in England, so that office girls are less likely to look tired and haggard.
 "Here," he points out "girls leave their offices promptly at five or five-thirty.. In England it is not at all unusual for them to be kept until seven-th thirty, night after night"
 If it seems odd for an artist who is interested primarily in women's beauty to discuss work ing hours, let him explain.
 Long hours, hard work, and hurrying age women. They look tired and strained when their load is heavy. I think the American working girl is beautiful. But she can be more beautiful - and she will when she works only six hours day..
 In comparing English and American types, MT. Brockhurst credits the English women with dignity, ease, and the ability to sit gracefully. He marks her down on feet (too large), legs (too short), and her walk (stepS too long).
 The American woman rates GA plus" on legs, teeth, walk, hair dos and the way she wears her clothes.
 Her faults are in sometimes looking more athletic than femi- nine, and in having q tendency to appear tired and nervous, as though she is tryinug to juggle more interests than she can manage.

Frequent frowning, scowling or other grimacing puts vertical lines between eyebrows and horizontal ones across the forehead. The wo- man who is determined to acquire through the years as few lines and wrinkles as possible refuses to let herself acquire any face-making habits.
 If you know that you frown a great deal when working at your desk or reading or sewing, try plac- ing your palm hard against the forehead and holding it there for two or three minutes several times a day. The pressure will help to smooth out lines already formed. But, more importantly, it will make you conscious of your fore head and what happens to it when you scowl.
 For lines deeply formed, there are special little wrinkle -eradica- tor plasters to be put across the lines at night and left until morn ing. These are well worth trying. GLASSES ARE
 IMPORTANT
 To eliminate the network of ht- tie lines running outward from the corners of the eyes, massage and pat gently with cream every night. In addition, be honest with your self as to what cause them to form. If you know what you squint a great deal, by all means find out whether you need glasses. Wear

Improvement of the tone of the belly, that is, the muscles in the front wall of the abdomen, is de- sirable for most sedentary adults and particularly for those who have ptosis or falling or dropping or displacement of any organ or organs.
 To get an idea of what "tone" means, consider a live rubber band. It readily contracts and as readily expands or stretches. But if the band has not been used for long time 1t does not contract when you expand or stretch it, but remains relaxed and useless.
 The tone of muscles, either the voluntary muscles or involuntary muscle such as that in the wall of stomach and intestine, in the wall of artery and heart, refers to the degree of tension or reSiliency in the muscle.
 Sometimes wiseacres feel inclined to scout the importance or value of daily exercise for the sedentary person who wishes to preserve health and vigor as long as possi- ble. They base their rejection of exercise chiefly on notable in- stances of persons who have sur vived to an advanced age although they never took any exercise at all if they could help it. From what I have seen of such ripe old geez- CTS it seems to me we all need a reasonable amount of exercise daily and for every individual who overdoes it there are thousand who shirk it to their injury. In the race for longevity I'll back Jump ing Jimminy and you can put your money on Sitting Bull.
 Everybody knows that in athletic contests or endurance races an inn portant factor is the reserve power in the heart. The purpose of phy- sical training for such contests is to develop such reserve power in the heart. Getting. "secod wind" depends on reserve power.
 In any kind of formal or casual exercise, from the gentlest calisthe- nic movements to running around the block, nto only the skeletel or voluntary muscles used in the ex- ercise are participating but also the heart muscle and the breathing muscles, for these must increase their work in order to supply the increased quota of oxygen demand ed by the functioning muscle cells.
 So its should be obvious why reasonable amount of daily eXer- else is of value in helping you to win a battle with pneumonia, let us say, for if you happen to catch pneumonia . heart with fair amount of reserve power will prove of inestimable value. Firing out and failure of the heart is the cause of death in many cases of pneu- monia.
 No matter how sedentary your occupation, there is no reason why you cannot keep fairly "fit" for whatever betides. Even the six or eight movements from the Last Brady Symphony, as described and Illustrated in 'The Seven Keys to 'yite," if done regularly morning and evening, will contribute mater ially toward building and main- taining reserve power.
 The tone of the belly is the best gauge know of an adults fitness. If the tone of yours is poor sug- gest that you begin training with Belly Breathing = for instructions send stamped envelope bearing yoru address.
