Guilty Glands
The pituitary gland, that Won
dcrrul little piece of flesh no bigger
than the end of your little finger,
which lies in the skull and rcgu-
latcs so many Of our personali-
tvs tcmpcramcntal and physical
traits, is one Of them. The thyroid
GLAND is usually also involved; at
least these cases respond by re-
ducing weight if thyroid extract
is given. These two glands in
AucNcc many other functions,
through their action or ''trOphic"
influence on other glands in the
body. This is what produces the
feminine characteristics III I!!cSc
children.
They do cat a lot. They seem to
have a craving and a need for
candy and sweets and it is very
hard to keep these away from
them, and they have an enormous
capacity for storing sugar and
starch, and they store it in the
form Of fat.
In treatment it is very hard to
do much with them in the way OF
diet. They break over restraint.
Their physical desires are greater
than their will power Tin which
they are not so very much different
from their older colleagues in
obesity and endocrine treatment
often works wonders with them.

PUBLIC HOUSING

The new homes constructed under
the Governments public housing pro
gram will soon be ready for occu-
pancy. Their purpose is to provide
decent habitation for low-income fami-
lies who had been compelled to live in
the grouping of substandard dwellings,
commonly known as the "slums." 1t is
these families that rightly will be
given preference as prospective ten
ants.
Generally recognized is the great
worth of low-rent housing as a factor
IN improving the living conditions of
families of small income. The pro-
Jects provide them with the means for
better health standards, for reducing.
juvenile delinquency, for supervising
their children's recreation. On the
premises provision has been made for
chlldren's playtime activities. The
tendency is to keep children off the
streets where they are liable to get
into trouble.
The experience of public housing
here and abroad reveals that the adj
vent of low-rent housing has been fol-
lowed by reduction in crime and
juvenile delinquency and at the same
time the health rate of the community
has been raised.

A CHAMPION PASSES

Few men of his generation achieved
the well-merited reputation which the
late Walter H. Pollak had as champion
OF constitutional liberty in America.
He graduated from Harvard College
in 1907 and from Harvard Law School
in 1910, being admitted to the bar in
1911. From then on, although his
sympathies, like his upbringing, were
profoundly conservative, he always was
vigilant against infringement Of civil
rights. He placed his considerable legal
talents as one of the nations most dis
tinguished constitutional lawyers at the
service of those who needed them, vic
tins of the violation of their civil lib
critics.
Colored Americans honor the mem
DRY of Walter Pollak because he made
the first appeal before the United
States Supreme Court in 1892 in be-
half of the victimized "Scottsboro
boys. His appeal in 1885 won free
dom for four of the nine then serving
life Imprisonment.
Walter Pollak belongs in the com
pany of such great Americans as Will
liam Lloyd Garrison, Abraham Lin
coin, Charles Sumner, Moorfeld Storey
who came forward as champion of lib
erty at critical moments in the nations
progress.

been guilty. Germany had a COLONY
in Southwest Africa before 1914. in
which a large tribe known as Herreros
lived. The German conquerors on an
unimportant pretext drove them out
into the desert to starve and die of
thirst, atrociously killing almost the
whole tribe.
The racial doctrines of Hitler are
absolutely contrary to the principles
of equal treatment and equal rights
for which colored Americans have con-
sistently struggled. The German die
tatOr justifies his seizure of neighbor-
ing and peaceful countries, such as
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Norway, Den
mark, Holland, Belgium, by proclaim
ing the poisonous doctrine that the
Germans are a master race and all
other races are slave races. Not only
that, but no man and no organization
in Germany is permitted publicly to
denOunce this doctrine as a lie.
More and more colored Americans
have been joining trade unions in
recent years. For progress has been
made, with the welcome aid of the
uSCGuC anu 1dISlSnIeu WnlIe trade
unions. All trade unions are sup
pressed by Hitler and Mussolini. and
the workers have no political or indus
trial rights at all.
Colored Americans should favor a
policy of giving all possible aid to
England in her fight against the dicta-
tors, with their vicious purpose of
ruling the rest of the world under
Fascist brutality and denying all
democratic rights of fair treatment to
other nations or races.
The Committee to Defend America
by Aiding the Allies is organized to
secure the backing of public opinion
for stronger and more effective steps
to aid Great Britain in her fight
against the Nazi and Fascist dictators
Americans of every political party
should give the Committee their sup
port.
