STRAIGHT FROM
THE SHOULDER

any kind (also a necessity, no
program designed to safeguard
the success of Negro business and
no progressive church program.
However, it is only fair to record
here the contribution made by our
thinkers during the past year.
They organized chapter known
as the Alpha Xi, which is sort of
an Alphabet of the well known
Alpha Phi Alpha. The Delta Sig
ma Theta sorority, whose Sigmas
and Thetas are found in the To-
cal society Delta, sponsored "a We
ry beautiful tea" at Clark hall and
dropped the bars temporarily by
unfortunately inviting most of
the town to go forth and sip tea
on yonder campus.
During the past year most or
CARNATIONS met hither and yon
and the leaders made speeches al
most every place except in Sears
basement. After a series of long
lectures, punctuated here and
there with the same blah blah
about what the race ought to do,
when 1899 joined the parade of
passing years, they had reached
the conclusion that Seattle Ne
groes have a problem in fact,
two problems.
The results of this collective
brain storm revealed that the two
major problems confronting the
race were the matter of jobs for
the group and the problem of jul
venile delinquency which is on the
increase. 1t was unanimously de-
cided that there are a few jobs
which rightfully belong to the
group but for obvious reasons the
group does not hold. In the ques-
ton of the younger group, our
leaders arrived at the conclusion
that said group can find nothing
to do with its spare time (of which
it has plenty) and no place to do
it. After arriving at these conclu-
sions the leaders have retired to
their respective sanctum sanctor-
iums to watch and wait while the
problems solve themselves.
Looking back to six months ago
when I was tempted to worship at
the shrine of this rare Negro So
ciety, and bow in reverence to the
high quality leadership by which
it is represented, now wonder on
what they base their claims. When
I think of the opportunities that
raped at the door OF Negro lead
ership = opportunities to create
jobs and insure the future welfare
of the younger generation, 1 am
tempted to indict our leaders as
imposters and suggest that they
go down to the sheriff and give
themselves up.
This columns tendency to criti-
CHE Negro leadership has not
made it very popular, but exist
ing conditions reflect the SINGER
ity of our race leaders, and there
is little that can be said here that
is not common knowledge. Do you
remember these words "A tree
is known by the fruit it bears"

Washington Mutual
Savings Bank Pays

Seattle's oldest savings institu-
ton, the Washington Mutual Saw
ings Bank, credited its depositors
accounts on December 80 with
$613,000 in interest, earned for
them in the six months since June
30, 1889, at the rate of 2 per cent
per annum. With this, the Tooth
semi-annual distribution, total in
terest shared by Washington Mu-
tual depositors for the full year
amounted to 81, 200, 900. The grand
total of interest paid depositors
since the banks founding, more
than half century ago, reached
$32, 100000. AS 1889 ended, an
additional 100000 was transfer
red to the big mutual saving
banks guaranty fund, which is
held for the exclusive protection
of its depositors, bringing the to-
tai OF this fund to $4,000
In his New Years letter to de-
positors, Dietrich Schmitz, Wash
ington Mutual's president, pointed
to the continued substantial ex-
pansion of the bank through 1889,
which brought its aggregate re-
sources at the year-end to well ov-
er the 81 million dollar mark.
Washington MutuaTs traditional
activity in the home financing
field was sustained throughout the
year, and the institution currently
has over % millions of dollars in
vested in first mortgage loans.

OxYGErJ FOR CORONARY
 THROMBOSIS

Angina pectories means quinSey of the chest, heart pang, the Latin word anger meaning to choke. Emotion often precipates an attack of angina pectoris in one subject to coronary disease-anger particular ly, John Hunter, famous Scottish an- atomist of the 18th century, him. self subject of coronary disease, said "my life is in the hands of any rascal who chooses to annoy me-" A bad example the doctor set. Pass ing the buck.
 Coronary arteries are the arte- ries which convey blood from the great artery or aorta just beyond the aortic valve to the muscle of the heart wall itself.
 The most favored theory is that the attack of angina pectoris is due to spasm of the coronary ar tery which restricts the quantity of blood delivered to heart muscle. However, nobocy knows whether this is actually so, for of course it is no time to operate during a paroxysm of angine, and poSt-mortem examination cannot determine whether the coronary ar terieS were SpaSmodically con- stricted before death.
 Whether coronary Spasm is or is not the cause of the pain, more plausible explanation for the symptoms of angina pectories is anoxia, insufficient oxygen de- livered to the heart muscle.
 The same cause, anoXia, would account also for coronary occulsion Shutting off a branch of the coronary artery altogether) or cor onary thrombosis (clotting of blood in the coronary artery) in many cases,
 Coronary thrombosis has been observed at autopsy in many cases of carbon monoxide gassing, and of course the serious or fatal effects of carbon monoxide are wholly due to crowding oxygen out of the tissues or cells, in short to anoxia. Difficult breathign gasping for air, palpitation, cough and pain in chest over the heart region are familiar symptoms of such coronary thrombosis.
 Administration of pure oxygen continuously for three or four hours, with interruption of inhala- tions for fifteen minutes, then continuation of inhalations for three or four hours again, if neces- sary, has proved an efficient method of relieving intense pain accompanying acute coronary thrombosis and in the treatment of a seizure of angina pectoris. In many cases perhaps inhalations of carboxygen would be better pure oxygen mixed with 5 to 2 per cent of carbon dioxide. The carbon di- oxide is natures own srlmulant to breathing.
 Natural breathing, that is, belly breathing is particularly beneficial to persons subject to angina pectoris or coronary disease. Such persons should practice it regularly at least last thing at night before falling asleep and first thing in yhe morn ing on awaking. If they wake in the night they should immediately begin belly breathing. For instruc- tionS send stamped envelope bear ing your address and ask for mon- ograph Belly Breathing"

Glorityimg Yourself
By ALICIA HART

, all women to remember. For the little boy whose personal pride is so strong that he worries about his clothes, manners, and the way his house looks, grows up into the man who is still sensitive to all those things.
 Because men like to pretend that such superficial things don't matter to them, women are often fooled into believing that they don't.
 But little thought and atten- tion will convince any woman that man is more a slave to public opinion than she is.
 Mems eyes follow the girl whose taste in clothes and whose "en- frances" turn all eyes. But they don't marry the type They marry girls they feel they can count on never to embarrass them.
 Men grumble about their wives extravaganza, all the while letting it be known that their wives de- mand and get all the 1uxuries. If the honestly didn't like their wives making show of expensive clothes and possessions, they wouldn't foot the bills.
 MEN ARE CONSCIOUS
 OF THEIR LOOKS
 Men are slaves to etiquette-and worry much longer and apologize much more for a social blunder than do women.
 Men are so conscious of their looks that there is the dickens to pay if their clothes aren't kept in perfect condition. And they are jealous of a handsome man as women are of a beautiful woman. Perhaps more. There are women who like Dorothy Lamour. But try to find a man who has good word for glamor boys of the screen. For all those reasons 1t is a big mistake for woman not to exert herself to be quietly charming, to make her house little more att tractive than the Joneses, and to see that her husband thinks he is a pretty good looking guy.
