ployer.
Down to a few years ago in
many households of the upper, mid
die, and lower middle class in our
own country it was thought almost
an infraction of some natural law
for the domestic drudges to want
rest, relaxation, literature, lovers,
and exercise in the open air. So if
the Negro got bored with mo-
notonous and unending work for
somebody else's main advantage he
was stigmatized as so viciously
lazy that it was really a moral
obligation to fog, starve, or fine
him into a Sisyphean routine.
AMEN TO YOU, REV. BOTTOMS
Rev. Grant Bottoms, the local
pastor at Louisiana, Mo-, of. the
Church of God in Christ, on or
about the 7th of August, 1925, in
the night time, guilty of loud and
boisterous hollering, yelling and
screaming, by which the peace of
the citizens of the city of Louisiana
was disturbed.
The alleged offense was commit
ted during the course of a religious
service, attended by Is of his little
flock, commencing at o'clock and
ending about 9:2O of the same eve
ming.
The particular conduct said to
have disturbed the peace of the
good citizens was his shouting
Amen" praise Cod" "Halleluja"
throughout the service, in a tone
which was actually heard by GER
tain persons at a distance of two
blocks from the church; others said
he could be heard even at dis
lance of six blocks.
This meeting was attended by
100 white people, including two
police officers, and ion other SINH
lar occasions as many as 800 white
people were in or about the
grounds of the church.
The two police, officers, who
testified in the case, called by the
city, were among those whose
curiosity had prompted them to be
present at the service.

PROTRUDING OR LARK HEEL

The protruding heel or the back
ward prolongation of the os cal
caneum is not a simian feature but
one that is ultra human. The lark
heel" is noticed in the West Afri-
can Negro and the ancient Euro
pean Negroes, but does not appear
in the Asiatic Negroes, Bushman,
or Congo pygmies. The develop
ment of the heel is observable in
the plain dwelling natives of India.
The clark heel" is probably
brought about by excess walking
on level ground and is more OBJ
servable in Negroes living on the
plains than in those dwelling in
mountains.
This feature is observed in some
American Negroes.

Naming Girls

We hear combinations of names nowadays
That we never heard of even in plays,
Some coined we hardly believe
That the given name for the does deceive.
In the old days girls names were plain,
The girls of course were the same
Now since times have changed quite bit
It's problem to combine two names that fit
Now a couple when girl is born,
Have read book, seen play and are torn,
Between the two names they ought to combine
Some relative dear maybe hers mine.
1t used to- be Mary, Bell, Louise
Harriet, Dorothy, Pearl and Sue in a squeeze,
Now it's a combination of these two today,
Like Mary Lou, Mary Belle Sulumay
When boy wanted but girl born
The parents get combination to their foror
Use the male first which indicates their dismay
Joining the two together makes everything okay
Boys names were never any worry at all,
Just call him John, Henry, or Paul,
Some liked Harvey James or Oscar r
But anyway the name impostor.
