 Turning the calendar back p years takes us to May, 1918. Then we faced a powerful enemy arrayed against us in armed warfare. Our men were pouring overseas by the hL Gdreds of thousands, ready to give theE lives in defense of our countrys rights and ideals. Behind them stood a united nation, every man and woman serving in every way open to him or her

1918, highest sacrifices were neces- sary. As the olive-drab lines of American troops advanced across the poppy studded fields of France, men dropped, never to rise again. There, amid the poppies, they gave their all for America.
 The poppy became the symbol of remembrance of those men. It be- came the memorial flower of the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary and all America Each year, on the Saturday before Memorial Day, patriotic Americans wear the poppy to pay tribute to the World War dead.
 Poppy Day this year comes on Saturday, May 25. On that day the women of the American Legion Aux Hilary will ask all to wear poppies in honor of the war dead and to make contributions for the welfare of the war disabled, the widows and the fatherless children. The day should have high significance for us all. We cannot honor the dead and aid the disabled without think ing of the sacrifices they made, and with such thoughts stirring our hearts we cannot fail to catch their spirit for continued service for Am erica.
 The poppies, exact .replicas in paper of those which grew along the battlefront of France, have been made by needy disabled veterans bravely struggling by this means to earn livelihood for themselves and families. Viyidly and simply these blood-red flowers symbolic the highest ideal of patriotic service. By wearing them we help keep that ideal bright for the America of today and tomorrow.
 The need for the inspiration of the poppy, the need for remembering the patriotic sacrifices of the dead, also has become greater as the war 0t ZZ years ago becomes more QlStant and the war in wartorn Europe be- comes more real. Today we need to remember that men have died for this country of ours, given their lives by the thousands that we might be secure in the blessings of democracy; then no sacrifice we are called upon to make, no service We are asked to give, will seem too heavy Wearing the poppy in tribute to them, we feel their sturdy patriotism stir within us, and we will go forward in their spirit to serve America in these critical days of peace as they served during the crisis of war.

Ann Sheridan Is Starred in
 Capitol Show
Appears With Richard Carlson Tonight in
 Winter Carnival

Movie fans everywhere will have one decided advantage over the gay thousands who go to New England for the snow sports this year. They will be able to view the celebrated Dartmouth winter carnival at first hand in Walter Wanger's Winter Carnival" which is slated for it's first showing at the Capitol tonight. The film CO., stars Ann Sheridan and Richard Carlson. .4 s.3s 5a.
 Winter Carnival is unique in that neither winter atmosphere nor winter sports control any portion of the story or demand even the slightest deviation from a smoothly moving story plot to accommodate scenes of the 1889 Dartmouth car nival. To offer a relief from time worn settings Producer Wanger chose to create romantic film tale around the Dartmouth carni- val because it presented New Eng land in it's most colorful natural raiment and because the winter sports fete is Americas most dis tinctive social event.
 The story which the Wanger film depicts has had more than one parallel in the history of winter carnivals and Director Charles F. Riesner exercised extreme care in presenting the romance between Jill Baxter and Prof John Vel don, in the film, as it might be seen through the eyes of youth. Both story and accompanying mu- sical score were created by Dart mouth men whose memories of many winter carnivals are still fresh.

chic, pleasant, modern, walked into the living room of her New York hctel suite. s
 1 had called to learn what gave the daughter of the famous Mime. Curie, the radium woman, her rep utation for chic. I stayed to learn something about that but much else besides
 A Fashion Formula
 With the late afternoon sun splash ing on her, she removed the jacket of her simple black suit, revealing gay reddish blouse, also softly tailored. I noticed the soft waves in her severely coiffured black hair. I liked her smart black pumps. Even her choice of pillbox hats var jed by draped fabrics or snoods gives away her inclination to sim plicity.
 Clothes are best reduced to their simplest expression she comment ed Her fashion formula combines Schiaparelli design with her own requisite of severity.
 Almost at once she gave me the feeling that regardless of her ac- complishments, the exciting thing about Eve Curie will continue to be herself. 4 h .-a
 Reverent to the point that emo- tion tiptoed into her voice when she spoke of her mother, this tall younger daughter showed almost childish pleasure in ,her fan-mail and, definite grown-up satisfaction in the letters that tell her that read CTS of her biography regarded Ma dame Curie as personal friend and heroine even though they never had met her. 1 M
 She sat gracefully at ease on a divan and told me of her plans. Even the daughter of Mme Curie, it seems. probably will write her next book on women in the war, and at least temporarily allow war to displace the book she intended to write on women in science.
 Still Has Stage Fright
 T am really not a writer" she reiterated. She seemed to believe that seemed to forget her first book had been translated into "A languages, and to gloss over the fact that she successfully carried Broadway plays to the Paris stage. She insisted she was a lazy linguist who spoke only three languages well admitted she had terrific stage fright in contemplating a lec- ture tour. She. did express special pride in her sister, Irene, and Irene's Frederic Joliot, who carry on the work of Marie and Pierre Curie in the same laboratory.
 Although she was chosen almost at the outset of the war as feminine leader of the French Ministry of Information, Eve Curie asserted her lecture tour was her own and that she was no agent of the French government.
 She is telling her own story of French women and the war And she thinks Europe has more than a scrap-of f-paper chance to be unit ed because of the practical coop eration between France and Eng land.

the answer is NO. Not only the churches unable

There is no use of dodging or denying the fact
that is the theme of this column which fact is: the
basic trouble of all of the hell going in the world
springs from the peoples religion No man can get
away from his religion. The squarest deals do not
come from church folk, but from those who have
nothing to do with churches. It does not count a
hill of beans how morally clean one may be; how
often they attend church, or how much money they
contribute to the poor and to charities. All of such
is pure trash if there is not LOVE, Don't you see

BOGUS" LYNCH FIGURES
The National Association for the Advancement

last week called attention to the bogus" nature of
the yearly figures on the number of lynchings re-

Through its secretary, the NAACP said that in addi

and occasions of violence that fail reach the press
and wide attention. Those of who live in the South
and who are really in on the know about the afro
cities agree that the number of unreported lynchings
per year MOST LIKELY exceed the reported ones

The genius and the wisdom and

not be dimIned because he found
himself the spearhead of the ull-
successful attack on the Mordecai
Johnson administration. Thought
full men will be charitable and for

many years. This country knew

his opposition to the johnson

kindly reference to Kelly Miller in
one of his speeches.
It was then that I understood
why the anti-Johnson forces were
doomed to failure. johnson was big
enough to make kindly reference
to man who was his avowed op-

and Johnson did it! Bigness of

HATE ONLY HATE, FEAR ONLY
COWARDICE"
BY WILLIAM PICKENS
(Eor ANDY
(FOr AMP

Not yet am I go years of age, but
this day, the 18th of January
1910, 1 start climbing on that year;
and if I live until January Is, 194l,
1 will have achieved it, day by day,
rung by rung,-up the ladder from
the bottom to the top OF the Str
decade.
There is much that could say.
for in So years have been very
conscious of more than so Of them.
In fact, I remember since I was
a little over two years old.
That line Of verse-"Hate only
hate, fear only coWardice"-was
written when I was 19 years old,
and a sophomore. 1t as the last
line of a SONNET, written for the
climax of an grafton. This line Is
all I now remember of these FAM
bic pentameters. But not once in 40
years have ever forgotten the sin
cerity and the heroism of that
spirit. I could write correct verse
but it was no great poetry. However
remember that the bright teach
er who heard the grafton, thought
that I had quoted the verse OF some
great poet, and was reluctantly
convinced that the sonnet was my
own.
What have I learned in these 40
years, since that sonnet?
That it is better to be hated y
than to hate.
That it is better to love than to
be loved.
That it is better to receive evil
than to give it.
That it is better to be lied
against than to lie.
That it is less disgraceful to be
cheated than to cheat.
That it is loss of a loss to be
robbed than to commit robbery.
That the thrill of the open
fight is not to be found in
treachery.
That honesty Is far more re-
liable than shrewdneSS.
That it is better to forgive than
to revenge.

The Babel of Negro leadership
would be we'll even now to consider
the Sanhedrin idea prom ulgated by

prophetic insight no less than a
facility of expression to clearly set
forth what to him was clearly re-
vealed. Kelly Miller was wise

Miller was learned and he was wise.

WAS WISE MAN
The study and travel OF my ma

me that my appraisal was inspired,
for Kelly Miller was wise man. 1
heard him deliver a great address
at Virginia Union once, and was
tremendously impressed as ne
paced the platform after the mail

Kelly Miller as wise man loved

A GARLAND! GLOOMY DEAN
TRIBUTES KELLY MILLER

The passing OF Kelly Miller
bereaves a race and nation! One Of
the most brilliant stars in the aca-
demic armament of the time has
passed beyond the horizon. One
of the most mastery pelis is still
ed. One of the tallest trees in the
forest of stalwart Negro manhood
has fallen. His was brilliant
career and his was a blessed life.
He belonged to a school of thought
and thinking that has made an
indelible impress upon this gene
ration. His thousands of admirers
and disciples need not mourn his
departure, but be profoundly
thankful to God that his ripeneSs
of years has been an untold bless
ing.
Kelly Miller was one of this
worlds few rare spirits. He did not
live in a multiverse or a pluriverse.
He lived in a universe. Kelly Miller
truly lived. In later years there was
a ripeness in all he said and olo
that marked him as a giant of the
spirit. His long and illustrious
career at Howard terminated In
retirement that left him time TO
give instruction to race and ma
ton. No greater fortune could
have come to him than the oppor-
tunitv to give in his last days 4
valedictory through the columns oi
the natiors press that will outlast
time.
WAS GIFTED MAN
Kelly Miller was a gifted man
Few men could observe so keen,y
or express themselves so clearly
He was easily one of the maste,
rhetoricians of his generation. HI
made words live and these living
words gave life to the thought q
the times. Dean of the Negro col.
,1mnists that he was, his facile per
wrought miracles in the thinking
of the Negro race. Kelly Millel
dreamed many years ago about
Negro Sanhedrin. He could neve
get the idea deeply impressed upol
