COURTHOUSE and
Garden Beautiful
Your Mantels
BY DORIS M. JONES

In decoration of the mantel and
over-mantel, keep in mind two
principles. Keep the treatment
simple, for in simplicity there is
always true beauty. An array of
objects of no particular interest is
essentially important to avoid.
The ornaments for the mantel-
shelf should be limited in number
and well chosen with an eye for
their appropriateness. Remember
that your fireplace is an architec-
tural feature of the room and
should be accorded a measure of
dignity in its present.
The 'bust'of a favorite author in
bronze, piece of lacquered tin in
lustrous black, and a couple of
Canton ginger jars have a very
distinct decorative value.
I don't believe any fireplace
mantel is complete without large
chime-clock. When the lights are
out and the fire burns low, the
Ginning of the clock leaves one at
peace with the world.

What Abouf
Us, Uncle?
From the Philadelphia Independen

From the Philadelphia Independent
President Roosevelt h a S
been loud in his plea that the
foreign dictator nations call
off their wars. He was ex-
ceptionally loud spoken in his
plea for Finland.
We agree with him in prin-
ciple. Any true American and
exponent of democracy can
not truthfully approve of the
big fellow taking what little
fellow owns" We as a minor
ity people certainly must be
in the front ranks of those
demanding a recognition of
the rights of others but we
still insist that President Roo
sevelt could do much more if
he would raise his voice here
at home for the recognition of
full citizenship rights of Ne
grose.
Why should Negroes be Sc
cretly excluded from the wide
scale industrial recov cry?
Why does not President Roos-
evelt call attention of the rest
of the nation, and the indus
trialists in particular, to the
fact that the recovery of
America must include the in
dustrial emancipation of Ne
gro workers?
Why must President Roose-
welt remain silent on the
equalization of educational
standards for Negroes of the
South? Why must he remain
quiet as to the need for pas
sage of the anti-lynching bill I?
Why must he remain silent at

BOOK REVIEW
Armies With Wings

Armies with Wings gives a vi
vid, complete picture of how a
modern air force goes about its
business. It defines the different
branches of aviation: pursuit, at
tack, bombardment, utility. and
reconnaissance. It describes the
various planes that do these jobs,
their armament, speed, meneuver-
ability range, etc, and how the
jobs are done. 1t tells of the basic
research behind the planes; how
they are designed and tested, and
how they are manufactured. Alb
out the men who fly them, the
training of the pilots and the me-
chanics, the human element, the
limitations of the human body at
high speeds and attitudes, and In
combat maneuvers. The final sec
ton deals with today's aerial stra-
tegy; theory versus practice, for
nation flying, mass combat, anti
aircraft defense; about bombing
and what it can accomplish.
Dodd, Mead & Company, 449
Fourth Ave, New York, N. Y.
James L. II. Peck began writ
ing in high school but quit, after
two years of university study, to
take up flying. His first book,
Armies on Wings" combines both
interests. Actually, it is one of the
first books to tell about modern
aerial warfare from a pilots point
of view. Many of the conclusions
in the discussion are based on the
authors experience with combat
units of the Republican army in
Spain.
Mr.. Peck is an expert swimmer
and diver and plays the drums
professionally, having twice tour
ed the country with professional
orchestras. He lives near Pitts
bugh but spends large part of
his time in New York where he
has a host of friends, particularly
in literary and journalistic circles.

politics too. The New Deal and
the Democratic party will be fight
ing for their lives in this election
year. The Negro voters in the
eastern and middle western states
hold the answer. If southern SEN

The House of Representatives last week again passed
the Gavagan antynchng bill and has sent it to the Sen

Because the bill is likely to meet its doom at the hands
of the unreconsucted South many people pessimsc
about continuing the fight for the enactment of anti

Lynchng is a symbol of the whole system of Ameri-

factor contributing the decline in ynchng has not been

during the antnchg debate in the House in reference
to the few lynchngs last Why should worry with

Representative Colmer OF MISSISSIPPI the Leading lynch

HEART THROBS
THE HOLY CITY

Thirty men, red-eyed and dis
heveled, lined up before a judge
of the San Francisco police court.
1t was the regular morning COM
pany Of "drunks and disorderlies."
Some were old and hardened,
others hung their heads in shame.
Just as the momentary disorder
attending the bringing in of the
prisoners quieted down, a strange
thing happened. A strong, clear
voice from below began singing:
Last night lay a-sleeping,
There came dream so fair"
Last night! It had been for
them all nightmare or drunk
EN- stupor The song was such a
contrast to the horrible fact that
no one could fail of a sudden
shock at the thought the song
suggested.
II stood IN old Jerusalem,
Beside the temple there"
the song went on. The Judge had
paused. He made quiet inquiry.
A former member of a famous op-
era company, known all over the
country, was awaiting trial for
forgery. 1t was he who was sing
ing in his cell.
Meantime the song went on, and
every man in the line showed emo
ton. One or two dropped to their
knees, one boy at the end of the
line, after desperate effort at
self-control, leaned against the
wall, buried his face against his
folded arms and sobbed, ooh mo-
Their! mother"
The sobs, cutting to the very
heart of the men who heard, and
the song, still yelling it's way into
the court room, blended in the
hush.
At length one man protested.
Judge" said he, "have we got to
submit to this? We're here to
take our punishment, but this"
He, too, began to sob.
1t was impossible to proceed
with the business of the court, yet
the judge gave no order to stop
the song. The police sergeant, af-
ter an effort to keep the men in
line, stepped back and waited with
the rest. The song moved on to
it's climax,
"JeruSdlem, Jerttsalemi
Sing for the night is DER!
Hosdn,ta, HOSdnnd!
Hosanna in the highest!
Hosdnna for ever morew
In an ecstacy of melody the last
words rang out, and then there
was silence.
The judge looked into the faces
OF the men before him. There was
not one who was not touched by
the song; not one in whom some
better impulse was not stirred. He
did not call the cases singly. a
kind word of advice, and he dis
missed them all. No man was
fined or sentenced to the work.
house that morning. The song
had Gone more good than punish
ment could possibly have accom-
