payment to surviving relatives men,
toned above is six times the primary
insurance payment earned by the
worker up to the date of his death.
For example, if the monthly insur-
ance payment would have been $50,
the lump-sum death payment to the
surviving relative would be $780,
If there is no such named surviv-
ling relative, the person or persons
who paid the burial expenses may be
repaid for the actual cost, up to six
times the primary insurance payment.
In other words, if the monthly in
surance payment was $50 and the bu-
rial cost $3.50, the lump-sum payment
would be $50.
If the burial expenses were 5000,
the lumpsum payment would be $3.50,
or six times the monthly insurance.

Vice-President Jack Garner will
have nothing to do with the man
who assailed him as "whiskey-
drinking, labor-baiting, evil old

Recently senator friendly to

would see the CIO chief. No rea-
son was given for the request and
Garner didn't inquire. He was
merely told that Lewis would like
to talk to him.
"My door is always open," Gar

won't stop him. But l can tell
you frankly l have no desire to
have any dealings with him."

HOW WE GET
THAT WAY
MRS. D. w. KINDS

Although we start crying for some
thing shortly after entering this
world, our first desires are merely for
food and bodily comfort and are, in
most cases, easily satisfied. Soon our
interests, though for some time re-
naming quite objective, extend be-
yond our immediate needs. At this
age, our senses are keen; we investi-
gate everything within reach; life is
so full, and we are so eager our de-
light cannot easily be restrained, and
we really are happy. We hear the
birds sing and watch the plants grow,
and, enjoying the love and apprecia
tion of others, we are contented.
When and how do we lose this
healthy response to nature and take
up the false idea that we are lacking
in something, that our happiness de-
pends upon the accumulation of ma
terial things? 1t is often implanted in
our subconscious minds during our
very early years, when we are so
young, so new to the world, that we
are easily misled by our elders. When
we hear Mother intimate that her hap
piness depends upon a new hat of the
purchase of new car, we do not ques
tion her. When Father says that his
coming increase in salary will make
the family happy, we do not doubt him
he is so big and wise. And gradual
ly, we come to believe that we our
selves are wrong in being happy and
contented, that happiness lies outside
ourselves, around the corner. In con-
sequence, by the time we have reach
ed the teen-age, we are ready to give
up the fundamentals of life for the
illusions of our elders.
The false premise remains with us
sometimes throughout life. If we rid
ourselves of it in middle age, we are
fortunate. We see men striving for
money with which to make themselves
happy, yet many persons now wealthy
are miserably unhappy. We know
young persons who pine for travel,
while others who do travel, do so in
complete boredom with eyes closed and
minds filled with prejudice. We hear
it said, "To be happy, we must have
health" Yet, we see about us speci-
mems of perfect health who are far
from happy. On the other hand, we
see iltyalids who arc extremely useful
and happy. In spite of this evidence
to refute our conception of life, it is
difficult for us now to realize that
happiness comes from the ability to
enjoy what we have.
1t is not yet too late, perhaps, again
to cultivate our natural resources.
By forcing ourselves, painfully, we
can take sufficient exercise to awaken
our old zest for eating. By studious
effort we may once more learn to
smell the meadows and to hear the
tinkling brook.
But what of our children? Shall we
mislead them as we ourselves have
been misled? Shall we teach them by
word and implication that they are not
to be happy now but later, when they
have acquired something which is
now beyond their reach? Shall we
keep them reaching constantly for the
unattainable or shall we, by example,
show them the truth? What is the
truth? ? That they will always be happy
provided they keep their God-given
active curiosity, their pleasure in
achievement, their natural reverence
and kindliness and the ability to en-
joy the simple things of life.

In recent times thinkers have
offered music as a means of heal
ing certain ailments. Certain
strains on the violin have been
used to soothe those suffering from
NERVES" and music Of various
other instruments have been used
in assisting sick people to return
to the normal. This is not new
idea for man has known the
healthful qualities Of music for
hundreds Of years. In the days
of the Pharaohs music was used
as a remedial agent, for medical
records Of some 80 centuries age
tell Of the effect of music on the
human body. Homer tells OF
music stopping hemorrhage and
, one finds a record Of music used
to soothe the nerves of the sore
ly tried Saul.
The Greeks and Romans en-
ployed music in treating cases ol
insanity and fevers. Esculapius
claims to have cured deafness by
the sound of trumpet and an
other doctor Of the times leaves
a record Of curing sciatica by soft
music.
Two centuries ago both German
and French doctors claimed they
had been able to treat with Sue
cess cases of ST. Vitus Dance ano
other so-called nervous diseases
with music Of various kinds. Sc
enthusiastic were the people O
the Seventeenth Century over the
theory of music therapy that they
employed it in the treatment Of
tarantula bites. Kings in history
have been reported to have beer
brought back to normal by music
More recently curative concerts
have been organized in asylumS
and hospitals with interesting re-
suits.
Some time ago the value of mu-
Isle was discovered as a means Of
dispelling fatigue, and it is a vel
known fact that music has long
been used in certain parts Of the
country to speed up work. The
old familiar work songs are ar
evidence Of this. Some music is
found to be more soothing thar
other types. Allegro, militaire,
maestoso, the largo and andante
movements were found to pro
duce more work than allegrett(
for instance.
In recent years an epidemic 0.
suicides in a foreign land were
said to be traced to a popular
lsong. Some Of the modern mu-
sic is known to stir up emotions
ir an undesirable manner. But
good music always has had, anc
always will have the power tC

STUDENTS PASS

WASHINGTON. D. c.. July 1S
The Howard university Civil
ian Pilot Training program has
been brought to a successful con-
clusion for the school year 1889
30.
Of the twelve men in the
ground course who took the Civ
il Aeronautics Authority's writ
ten examination, all passed. Of
the ten men who constituted our
quota for flight training, one re-
signed because Of illness which
prevented his getting sufficient
flying experience to pass the flight
examination. The other nine sue
cessfuIly passed their flight ex-
animation and have received prl-
vate pilots licenses. Some Of the
men passed both their written and
flight tests with high credit.
It is interesting to note that the
entire course at Howard was con-
Quoted by colored men, the
ground course being conducted
by \ Professor Addison E. Rich
mond and Darnley Howard, of
the School of Engineering and
Architecture, and the flight train
ing by c. Alfred Anderson, well
known colored pilot, who was en-
ployed by the Hybla Valley Fly
ing Service for this purpose.
The Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority believing that the direc-
tors of the Flight Training pro-
gram could conduct the program
better if they had actual expert
ence in the controlled flying
course, made available a schol-
arship for eight hours of flying
instruction for such persons. The
director of the program at Ho-
ward, Professor Addison E. Rich
mond, successfully completed
this course.
Students who participated in
the program are enthusiastic and
plan to continue their flying.

COP DELEGATES
SCORED FOR
I AT 7 PLEDGE

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 18-
(By Leon Lewis for AMP The
one man Republican party of
Louisiana, John E. Jackson, COM
miJteeman, was bitterly assailed
this week for having state dele
gates pre-instrucIed to vote for
TAFT and holding to these in
structions through five ballots,
when it was evident that "Will-
kie was the man." TIE criticisms
came from r. E. Baird, an alter
nate to the convention from Lou
iSiana.
Jackson denied having been re-
spOnSible for the blunder that
Baird said would not do Louisiana
any good" When the Louisiana
delegation was chosen they pledg-
ed support to Johnnie Jackson,
the national committeeman. All
were previously instructed to vote
for Taft. But when the entire
convention seemed to shift to
Willkie, the Louisiana delegation
under order Of Jackson held their
support to Taft.
For years the COP delegation
Of Louisiana has hinged on
Jackson and has consistently
polled less than a thousand votes,
with about 85 per cent of those
being Negro. Jackson has been
followed by James E. Lewis, Jr.,
anG' DR.. J, A. Hardin, both Walter
Cohen proteges. This has been
the main faction in the one party
setup.
This year was the first time in
the history Of the state that a
primary election was held in the
Republican ranks. John E. Jack
son attempted to block this ven
ture that was instituted by James
Woods in attempts to build up
the Republican party and promote
interest in the party activity in
5he state. Jackson bitterly fought
Woods because he wanted to
build up the party and used his
influence to get Negroes register
ed as Republicans. More than rs
percent Of the Republican votes
cast by Negroes were the fruits
Of Woods efforts.
Johnnie Jackson met with pub
lie criticism when he stated in a
local political meeting before a
group Of Negroes Of the Seventh
ward that he would not raise one
finger to help get Negroes regis
tered. Negroes were being turn
ed away from the registration Of
fee by the hundreds in a CITY
wide registration bar. DR.. Har-
din and Mr.. Lewis supported him
in this and thereby remained his
chief cohorts.
Attorney Baird feels that their
actions at the Philadelphia con-
vention, this year will not help
this state if it be a Republican
victory year and that Willkie is
not elated over their voted objec-
ton to his nomination. 1
Future participation. in the ma
tional party activity by the Lou
1S1ana delegation is threatened
with the ruling in the convention
that districts would have to poll
over 1000 votes to have delegates
represented at the convention
