Composite Photography

There probably were earlier ex-
periments of composite and trick
photography, but the most notable
examples appeared after the assas-
sination of President Lincoln. There
was a great demand for his pictures,
but there was none showing him in
the heroic postures which the Amer
lean people wanted. Earlier states
men had been painted in such poses.
So photographer took pictures of
the posed, draped figures of such
men as John c. Calhoun and Henry
Clay and superimposed the head of
Lincoln. Currier & Ives had issued
a Autograph showing Lincoln's
deathbed scene with Vice President
Andrew Johnson present. After
ward, when Johnson became unpop-
ular and was impeached, the head
of General Halleck was substituted
for Johnson's.

LOVE AND GIvE-People and the Lord love
a cheerful giver.
We come now to the Gift Season of the year
when for a brief interval we doff our mantle of
selfish getting and wear the royal robe of bene-
factor. The gift without the giver is bare; we dis
cern no heavenly radiance there. But the giver
adds that radiance rare which ~brightens our dull
lives everywhere.
At this blessed season we pass on to you a
scintallating extract from a Sixteenth Century let
ter penned by the wise Fra Giovanni. It expresses
the Spirit which this column would convey to you
at this time.
Il am your friend and my love for you goes

have not got; but there is. much, very much, that

its gifts by its covering, cast it away as ugly or

find beneath it a living splendor woven of love, by

e~rything we call trial, a sorrow. or a duty, believe
me, that Angels hand is there; the gift is there,

BETWEEN THE LINES
by Dean Cord IN B. Hancock for AMP
Elm KAMPF-

Hitler's "Mein Kampf" has startl-
ed the world. In it he sets forth his
dreams of a new world order wherein
the Germanic people will be the regn-
ant peoples of the world. AS a social
prophet Hitler made certain predict
ions which if fulfilled will fill the world
with great woes. Step by step Hitler
moves towards the contamination pre-
dicted in his Mein Kampf and step by
step the world move nearer to the
Drinks of destruction.
Hitlerism is proving a'scourge to
the smaller nations of the earth and
a threat to the mighty ones. The very
foundation of Britain's mighty empire
is trembling and our own United Stat
es of America is being weighed in the
balances of time; and woe unto us if
we are found wanting. The most pres
sing matter before this nation today
is to snap out of an Indifference and
lethargy and money grabbing and real
ize that "MEIN KAMPF" lies before
us.
Only our supremest efforts will
save Jul great and mighty nation! Our
isolationists and pacificists have sung
their siren songs Of peace until the
hour of our doom is nigh at hand. The
holding-out power of the British may
save US; but it will be merely by the
proverbial hair-breath. With Marlin
spired strikes brooding here and there
in the defense industries and with the
Nazi-filled industries being crippled
in a hundred ways, Uncle Sam needs to
take some positive and summary meas
ures if we are going to cDme through
with out national hide intact.
The question in my mind is how
long beiore Uncle Sam will realize that
for every Nazi in industry there are
ten Negroes who a be trusted with
out fears or qualms? How long will
this country let race prejudice stand
between them and that internal secur-
ity that is more and more a pressing
problem? How long will the Negroes
true and tried patriotism be rewarded
with a scant recognition, while foreign
traitors threaten destruction to- a coun
try that takes them to its bosom? How
long before dear Uncle Sam will see
the futility and danger of excluding
from strategic industries Negroes who
can be trusted while bundists and com
munists enjoy the richest fruits of oul
great land? How long will Americas
finest patriots famish with hunger
while its enemies enjoy its richest op.
n9rtunities?
A nation that cannot see straight
in times like these need not hope fOl
great success. If Germany had such
loyal patriots in Germany we may resr
assured that Hitler would use them t..
the greatest advantage. The Negroe:
are this nations only super3patriots
and lust whether country is goint
to use them to the fullest advantage
NAV be the deciding factor in this com
try's survival as a democracy. If
The Omaha guide., 1940-12-21

nation becomes so morally unsound as
~ refuse to use its best in the very best
way, that nation is threatened with de-
structi0n. When prejudice is put a.
head of a nations safety and security
we may listen for that nations swan
song. In other words that nation that
minimizes true patriotism and magni-
fies false values cannot hope to over
throw so powerful a movement as Hit
lerism.

Omaha, Nebraska

Dear Friend of Humanity:
1t is our belief that most people are kindly disposed to-
wards THE SALVATION ARMY, and helps us whenever pos
sibe. Everyone is familiar with our work of helping the needy
work which possible only through the whole hearted cooper
alton which is given us by the public. We are writing at this
time, however, to again call to your attention the special signif-
icance which winter has for our organization and it's work of
helping others.
The coolest months of the year are just ahead of US, and
we know from past experience that hundreds of poorly clad men
and women will appeal to us for warm clothing, shoes or bedd-
ing when winter sets in. In order that we may continue with
our work during the months when it is most essential. we are
again asking for your kind and unfailing assistance through the
donation of goods, useable clothing, odd pieces of furniture, mag
azines and newspapers, or any waste materials.
We know that our work this winter will be as great as in
former years and we look to you today, as in the past, for aid in
our efforts to help the needy
1t is needless to remind you that when people appeal to
us, their cases are urgent and we must have a sufficiently large
supply of materials on hand to meet these demands which are
constantly made upon us.
Won't you look through the basement or attic TODAY
for material which no longer are of use to you or your family,
then phone IA. Abs and our truck will gladly call for your do
nation. Sincerely yours,
R. w. EDWARDS, Adjutant.

One of the great disgraces of this
nation is that a conference at Hamp-
ton must be held to decide how to use
the nations most patriotic citizens. AS
it is, because of blood ties with Europe
it is hard to tell when a true American
Or a Nazi is being given a place OF
trust when a white man is being given
a place. The Negro has no European
ties and whenever a Negro goes on a
job a hundred per cent American is on
that job! In a crisis a nation needs
such assurance.
What is the point in hoping and
praying for true Americans when mil
lions of Negroes are standing by wait
ing for the word? The Negro must
not be grouchy in this crisis. He must
not quarrel and bubble and he must
not sulk in his tents. AS in past crisis
the Negro must give his best and re-
affirm the worlds exalted opinion of
him as a nations super patriot. The
struggle before u nation and the
world is a struggle for Christianity
and democracy and the Negroes fut-
ure is bound up therein. The Elm
Kampf of our nation must be the Mein
Kampf of every Negro. The Negro
goes UP or d5wn with this country.

Chickenpox is of the most highly Infections

are exposed to the disease escape contracting it,
In most cases the disease is trasni tied by direct
contact, but the virus be carried by third

There are generally nc striking symptoms to indi-
cate the onset of the disease before the rash ap-
pears. This eruption appears small raised spots
which subsequently fill up wi tn fluid and develop
crusty scabs. The fresh dried fluid from these
spots is the main source of infection to others.
