Negroes, the last Americans
to be given the guarantees of
the Constitution, and the ones
who have not yet been able to
realize them to the full, more
than others must give thought to
what course the nation takes.

charges that the New Deal has
made segregation its official
policy. Since segregation &C
cording to all experience is the
short road to limitation and in
equality for Negroes, his charge
is not to be dismissed lightly.
He says that the federal govern

are to serve only Negroes, that
color is taken into account by

Yet because of the Wagner labor

1T is plain common sense that the

I'M ANSWER TO "A RESIDENT

In reading his letter OF Nov.
1910. concerning the Firemen's and
Policemen's Pension, II is hard to
believe how short-sighted some
people can be. What line OF work
does "A Resident" do? or has he got
a comfortable income for the rest
OF his life?
l wonder II "A Resident" knows
that the firemen and policemen are
tax payers? Therefore they help
to pay their own salaries. They
too would like to be a home owner.
| wonder II "A Resident" knows
that these men themselves are pay
ing into the pension out OF thei.'
salaries the most part, and the tax
payers a small portion. Doesn't
the railroad and other concerns
pension their men, and not out of
their salaries?
wonder If "A Resident" knows
that other cities hold high respect
for these men who are risking their
lives to protect you, your family,
and your life savings? Don't you
read in the papers where police
men and fremen are injured and
killed. helping you?
| wonder II "A Resident" would
rather see the families OF these
men lose their homes and 60 on
the welfare, for the sake OF a few
pennies.
| wonder II "A Resident knows
that the good big increase OF sal
AIRY this summer will not buy a ton
of coal, but It helps.
Mr. Resident will say all right
II you do not like your job do some
thing else. All right then who Will
be the first to complain II your
home burns to the ground, ora po-
liceman is killed protecting you?
Does "A Resident" begrudge
these men little recreation il they
like to hunt or fish?
Does "A Resident" know these
men work on a Sunday, all holt
days, including Christmas, and that
their families spend half the time
alone? Oh yes, he gets two weeks
vacation with pay In the summer.
But can he go for a week end IL
he likes TO hunt or fish?
Remember too "A Resident"
these men have to put in q good
many years OF service before be-
ing pensioned whether he be so 1r
10. Do you want a man to be
walking on crutches or his lungs
filed with smoke before he can
enjoy little fishing?
Be honest with yourself and ad-
NIT these men do not get anything
for nothing. They pay every cent
back into trying to make a decent
and comfortable living for their
family. Is that not the ambition
Of US all? Then why are these de-

Easily Assimilated

The proteins Of meat supply
liberal amounts Of all amino acids

adequate proteins. Meat is easily
digested, and its amino acids are
promptly used by the body for
growth, for the repair of the
everyday wear and tear Of tissue,
and for the formation Of impor-
tant gland secretions.
These quite incontrovertible
facts are the basis for the state

some advantages in the diet. Vege

Of adequate proteins. While pro-
teins are contained in many foods,
not ell proteins are alike, nor do
they have the same nutritional
value.
Proteins build and repair body
tissue. Adequate proteins are re-
quired for the maintenance Of
muscular tissue in adults. Chill
dren, because of the added need
of proteins for growth, require
more in proportion to body weight
than grown-ups.
Proteins are complex sub
stances, made up Of a number
of individual units technically
known as ammo acids, the build
ing blocks" of the body. About
thirty such amino acids have been
identified. The work Of nutritional
chemists has shown that ten Of
these thirty cannot be made in
the body, or at least not in as
great quantities as the body re-
quires. These ten can be obtained
only by eating the protein foods
in which they are present. With
out enough of these ten essential
amino acids. growth is retarded
and a state Of poor nutrition will
develop. The proteins which sup
ply them are known as adequate
proteins.

DRAFT NUMBERS

Failure Of the order OF draft mum
bers to run according to the rules
OF chance continues to be Il subject
for general comment. There is mo
charge OF deliberate unfairness. but
there is criticism OF the manner in
which the numbers were mixed. the
claim being that high numbers
placed last in the bowl were the
first to be drawn out
Examination OF the draw dis
closes that high serial numbers,
generally speaking, came out sooner
than the low numbers. This was
notably true OF the first l.00o drawn
and the second 1000 as well.
They were the vital numbers -
the numbers of the men who will
be first called upon for army serv-
ice
Clarence A. Dykstra director Of
selectiye service. has said it is "un'
likely" that any draft registrant
whose number is above 1000 Will
find himself in an army camp be
fore next July l.
According 10 statisticians, out
OF the first lU00 numbers drawn
the law of averages should have
produced Ill numbers between the
serial numbers zero and 999. Actu-
ally there were only thirty.
Also. there would have been Ill
numbers between serial numbers
1000 and 1899. Actually there were
only nine
The statisticians contrasted this
with the number Of higher numbers

would have produced. they say, only

bers 5000 and 1893. The actual

ty times as many numbers between
5000 and 5000 actuall drawn as
there were between 1000 and 1000.
Although under the law OF aver
ages there should have been about
an equal number In each category.
II will be noted that not once did
any number between 1000 and 1899
come out in the first three hundred
capsules drawn from the goldfish
bowl.
Serial number 1853, first out OF the
bowl, got the most publicity. The
second number. 1872. also was low
number. Then came the parade OF

Higher numbers are blanks" in
many communities where the num-
Der Of registrants did not run high.
Consequently. many men holding
low numbers will be drawn into
the first draft. II all the registrants
are called into service the order Of
numbers will mean little The only
advantage may be delay for some
who might wish 10 20 Immediately
or an early call for some who would
prefer 10 wait till later date. In
some OF these cases there may be
