from DR.. Paul Cornley, Of the

Mississippi has only 65 hospi-

The first report is indeed
difficult to believe. But the
second is beyond reckoning,
considering the deep concern
that America gives suffering in
every foreign quarter Of the
world. She even has wonder

Just how can she neglect her

citizens of this the Wealthiest
country in the world? If other
nations, with far fewer resour-

SCHOOL CASE

Because of the great Importance
and state wide significance, the Co
'umbus NAACP, in its recent Board
meeting, voted contribution to the
Wilmington School Segregation
Case, also known as the Lewis Case.
The Lewis Case arose last fall when
the Wilmington, Ohio School Board
decided to establish segregated
school for clored children Of that
city The Board decreed that all
colored children must attend that
one school and at the same time re-
fused them admittance at any other
one.
Mr. Theodore Lewis had courage
enough to stand up for his rights.
When he refused to send his two
young children past two schools
thru heavy traffic of the congested
business district, he was placed in
jail

Should The Allies
Attack Russia

Long shots are the food OF
gamblers. Sane men seldom,
if ever venture In this quarter.
Yet. the wise heads Of the
Allies lean in this direction.
They are planning All attack
on Russia from the Rosphorus.
With the support Of Turkey
they think the risk would be-
come a sure thing. But can
they be sure9 Have they for
gotten Lawrence of Arabia
Upon British assurance he
made promises to the Arabs in
Palestine that Briton did not
keep. The Arabs still chafe
under this failure. And it Is
reported that the Germans are
| capitalizing on this point. As
Turkey fought with Germany
in the last war it may not be
difficult to again enlist her
support, especially with the
rest Of the Mosiem world al
| ready friendly to Germany
/ and Italy.
The Allies have another

gard lightly. How shall they

sub-marines2 They can not
bank too heavily upon Italias
desertion from the German

The Father DEGREES

Father Divine is chatting un-
der a recent court decree Civ
en- against him, by New York
Judge, Justice Beedict d. Di-
neen. As evidence of his dis
pleasure he has announced the
forth coming death of justices,
who decide against him. In
commenting on the matter he
said: Il always reverse every
malicious and prejudieed de-
cision and | will reverse this
one, or when | get through,
there will not be many judges
living"
Among primitive people the
threat of death, by magic, was
sufficient shock to cause the
victim to die of fear. HAPPY,
civilized men do not generally
succumb to such nonsense. It
remains to be seen just how
strong is the will power of the
justice who decreed against
the cult leader. II he is phleg-
matte and given to morose mo-
ments he may die of fear. This
would certainly boost the stock
Of the divine movement. On
the other hand if he goes on
living for the next twenty
years, Mr.. Divine will have to
fall back on an alternats te.
Wise. man that he is, he has
already instituted proceedings
for an appeal to higher
court for the reversal Of the
decision of the lower court.
If he wins. the decision will be
reversed. So what if the Judge
does live? ShreWd. is it not?
