C.L. 0. UNION WINS ON REHIRE

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Militant SUD- port of a Negro union committee man fired for active interest in be- half of his fellow colored workers, shut down the R. E. Loughney plant for an hour and half last week, when white and Negro en- ployes affiliated with CIO United Automobile Workers Union went on strike for his reinstatement.
 After the committeeman was discharged by the management on the fiimsy excuse of a technical violation of company rule, mem- bers of the union held a special meeting and voted unanimously to strike.
 Company officials, who had pre- viously refused to reinstate him, called for meeting with the union committee when they saw the solidarity of the workers, and agreed to put him back to work with pay for all time lost.

THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CATHOLICS

If Catholics worship pictures, statues and saints-if they think medals, holy water and the like, will in themselves prevent acci- dents, disease, lightning and drowning-if Catholics have no minds of their own and act just as their priests order-then surely there is something wrong with the Catholics. Yes, something so wrong that they should never be permitted to have a hand in the running of this great country of ours.
 If, on the other hand, there is no idolatry or superstition about anything Catholic-if all Cath olics have 100 per cent free will if their patriotism is a proved fact-if, in short, Catholics be- lieve that their Faith has in it and behind it reason, common sense, God-given authority and a philosophy, which if generally adopted, would solve all present day problems-if Catholics have such a story to tell to their non- Catholic neighbors and refuse to

CATHOLIC INFORMATION

tell it-then again we say there is something wrong with the Cath olics-woefully wrong.
 To enable fair-minded people of other creeds to know Catholic facts from Catholic sources, this society from now on will publish little informative stories of the things which Catholics believe, do and live day after day, believing that our messages will receive courteous attention and credence because we have no religion to attack, no axe to grind, no pur- pose in mind other than to en- gender understanding and good will which are so necessary if America is to stand united against the evils that surround us.
 We hope you will feel free to write us your opinion of our labor of love and to ask frank questions about anything Catholic which you may have in mind. Such questions will be courteous1y an- swered without obligating you in any way.

 The revelation that Joseph Dun- ming, honor graduate of Massa- chusetts Institute of TechnoI- ogy, is now a probationary em- pIoye of the world-famous Doug las Aircraft Corp. is indeed most encouraging, but this is no sur prise to Dunning's family and intimate friends.
 Fully a year ago, the Chronicle military editor had knowledge Of such prospect, but he was re- quested by the family not to publish even the slightest hint. For obvious reasons such stories must be handled with caution.
 Joe Cunning is another local lad who has made good. He is tall, good natured, hard working boy, born in Milton, Mass. He has always worked. His record at NIT. is one of the best. He grad uated in the 1887 class of aero nautical engineering. He won his masters degree at Stanford Uni versity. The hard times, discour- agement and setbacks he has met can almost be imagined. Sickness kept him out of Tech for nearly year, but he kept up. At one time he set a precedent as de- livery driver for Writings Milk. The young man has taken what has come along and today he is probably the best Negro aviation expert in the country.

University Items
By James "StonewalP' Jackson

By James ''StOnewalT' Jackson
 We'll, the majority of our uni versailles and colleges are either closed or are closing very shortly. We shall attempt to acquaint some of our prospective college students with some of these institutions in the following issues of the ChrOn- icle. In this issue we will take as our first institution of higher learning the well known Fisk University.
 Fisk is located in Nashville, Tenn, one of the seats of the historical South. It has for sev- eral decades served the Negro of that community and other points both North and Westward.
 Fisk offers a well-rounded ed ucation for any young and capa- ble student. It offers the happiest, richest adventures that ever comes to human being.
 A college is more than a school house or a congenial place of residence; it is a gathering place of intellectual enthusiasm and a prepartion and practice ground for social action. It is a place where knowledge is the founda- tion, but a sympathetic under standing and interpretation based on knowledge is considered more valuable.
 For curriculum, Fisk Univer- sity offers courses leading to the A.B. or B.S. degrees. The faculty is composed of graduates of the leading universities of the coun- try. It is their expressed desire to help and guide the students under their supervision.
 Student Life and
 Activities at Fisk
 Among many extra-curricular activities at Fisk are the follow ing: the university choir, drama tics, debating, student govern ment, fraternities and sororities, and last but not the least, a we'll rounded athletic program.
 During the past week, many more have returned home from school. A few of them are:
 Arthur Johnson, Artie Wilson, John Holton, George Thomas, Vic tor Lambert, Richard Cobb, James Wright; and Evelyn Powers, Annie Blanton, Mildred Gay, Clothilde Cornwall, Gertrude James, Grace Cooper, Catherine Dowdell, Lor- etta Montgomery and Marjorie Gaskins.
 It is interesting to learn that Artie Wilson will be member of the New York Cubans professional baseball team. Artie is we'll known around our city as an athlete. He is equally well known at home on the basketball court, baseball dia- mond and football field. While in college, Artie was well known throughout the CIAA as danger ous, and well worth watching in any sport. Good Luck to you Art. The home folks are with you.

the city.
 Be that as it may, there are certain problems peculiar to Ne groes in the fields of business and commerce that only Negro chamber of commerce working in conjunction with the already es- tablshed local white agency can attempt to solve.
 In line with this projected idea, call will be sent to the Negro barbers, hairdressers, und r. takers, restauranteurs, truckers, and other Negro entrepreneurs in the hope they will hear our call for organization.

MUSIC NOTES
(L. M. Babcock) CRITIC

d. M. Babcock) MUSICAL CRITIC
 Hartford is quite often treated with varied types of musical en- tertainment in the form of song recitals, instrumental concerts and quartet jubilees. A few weeks ago a colossal quartet program colossal both in foursome parti- cipating and the entertainment given, was sponsored, honoring the anniversary of the Melody Four. It was really wholesome, worldwide and musically benefi- cial affair. This department has heard many flattering comments concerning this effort to please Hartford.
 On the heels of this came an- other quartet program, last Fri day, to be exact, at Mt. Olive Church. Its function besides en- tertaining was to give a name to a newly-formed quadruple of voices. The name under which they will appear will be the Guid- ing Star; incidentally for the naming, MT. George Miller, tenor, of the Travelling Four, won the five dollar prize money. Run ming close to Winning Women was the Rising Star, however, the au- dience reacted just a little more favorably toward the Guiding Star.

St. Louis-A leading speaker at the Fifth National Townsend Plan Convention, which meets here June 30 to July 4, will be John P. Davis, founder and secretary of the National Negro Congress, who will address the body on July 3. In making the selection, Dr. Francis E. Townsend commented: ''We asked MT. Davis to address our meeting and he accepted. We believe he will bring a real mes sage to the delegates there as sembled and we are particularly glad to have him.
 Our organization has had the support of Negro citizens in many parts of the country. We feel that these good people not only deserve representation in our national convention, but deserve a place on the program as we'll. Our or ganization makes no distinctions in race or creed, for no successful national movement can bar any group. Our program is for all the people of America"

Cunning is on probation, but this is only natural for begin ners. There is no question that he has the ability or he would mover have even received the oppor- tunity. But what is most illum- mating is the fact that the air craft industry is willing to em- ploy Negroes in the now tremen- dous task to build 50,000 new planes in a comparatively amazing short time. Other colored students are studying and are being pre- pared for similar jobs. The Chron- icle military editor knows of at least one other boy who may be encouraged in the aeronautical engineering field.
 We strongly urge Negro youth to enter the skilled trades.

North Carolinian
Largest on Record
Born in 1898, Giant Weighed
1000 Pounds at Death.

RALEIGH, N. C.-Largest human
of which there is any authentic rec
ord was none of the famous freaks
Of history, but a relatively obscure
North Carolinian, according to be-
lief here.
Miles Darden, who weighed over
1000 pounds at his death, was born
in North Carolina in 1893 and died
in Henderson county, Tennessee,
January %, 1857. Such a creature
must have been a sensation in the
South at that time, but little is
known Of Darden in this state now,
though his existence is mentioned
in 1.-The North Carolina Historical
Review" of October, 1926. Therein
F. A. Sondley referred skeptics to
Appleton's Cyclopedia of American
Biography (Vol. 2, P ~ land other
authorities" No other authorities
were uncovered by a superficial
search, though contemporary Ten
nessee newspaper accounts of such
a marvel must be extant.
Appleton's Cyclopedia notes that
Miles Darden, giant,-was feet
AiASiiSo AL height, anu dl Ills uedtl
weighed more than one thousand
pounds. Until 1853 he was active,
energetic, and able to labor, but
from that time was obligated to re-
main at home, or be moved about
in wagon. In 1850 it required
13le yards of cloth, one yard wide,
to make him coat. His coffin was
eight feet long, IS inches deep"
etc.
Nearest rival to such corpulency
was the giant Daniel Lambert OTTO
1909, an Englishman who weighed
739 pounds. Darden was a third
again larger, and it is said of him
that in 1889 his coat was buttoned
around three men, each of them
200-pounders, who thus encountered
together walked in it across the
square at Lexington. Darden was
twice married and had children,
none of whom were notably heavy.

openings. You can buy windows and
window frames to fill these holes
pretty cheap. And you'll pay for them
for years to come in heat lost, drafty
floors and wet walls. Or, you can buy
carefully designed, precision built and
factory fitted windows and window
frames complete with weatherstrip
that will be a joy and comfort every
year that you live in your house. Yes,
and you'll find that the extra cost was
money we'll spent because OF heat bills,
repair bills and redecorating bills
saved.
Can't Replace Windows
Good windows are permanent part
of your walls. They protect your in
vestment in insulation and quality
construction. Any home without
weathertight windows is only one-half
insulated. So when you build, get
down to fundamentals. Always re-
member-you can add the gadgets
any time, but you can't replace foot
ings or timbers or windows. They've
got to be good right from the start.

Origin of 'PhOnOgraph'

Writing of Thomas A. Edison,
Francis Rolt-Wheeler says that the
word "phonograph" was coined by
the Able Leblanc for his friend
Charles eros. The latter in 1877
invented an instrument to which this
name was given. "Phonograph" was
later applied to Edison's invention,
which was also called the graphic
phone.

Glitter of Gadgets Often Distracts
Builder From Quality Where
It's Needed Most

Are you building house for the
first time? Then chances are you are
in kind of a daze. There are so many
things to decide, so many things to
buy, SO many more things you want
and can't buy because there is just so
much money. Now there's nothing
less glamorous than the concrete foot
ings and foundation. One doesn't show
them off to ones friends, but if you
skimp on either, you'll be busy for
years to come trying to cover up
cracked walls that all your friends
will see.
Don't Skimp on Framework
Likewise the timber skeleton or
frame of your house is going to be
all covered up, but if you skimp on
it you'll have sagging floors that
squeak at every step.
And how about those great big
holes in the wall, the rough window
