H. u. Offers
new COURSES
IN DENTISTRY

WASHINGTON, d. During
he summer school session at
Howard university the College
Of Dentistry will give postgraduate
courses in eight subjects, it was
announced this week by DR.. Rus
Courses in Operative Dentistry,
sell A. Dixon, dean Of the school.
Periodontia, Radiology, Oral Sur
gerry, Surgical Anatomy, Ortho-
dentics, Pedodentia and Root Ca
nal Therapy will be given from
July Z to August 8.
DIR. Dixon, in emphasizing the
importance Of taking postgradu-
ate courses in dentistry, said:
During the past decade, pro-
found changes have taken place
in dental science and art. Post
graduate training furnishes the
best means Of keeping the prac-
tltloner in touch with the latest
developments.
moreover, in the current world
crisis, it is the duty Of all profess
slonal men, especially those con-
cerned with the public health, to
prepare for such enlarged respon-
slbl tiles as they may be called
upon to assume.
These courses provide a uni
que opportunity for those to whom
postgraduate training in dentistry
is not now available"
Second Year of Special Courses
Although postgraduate courses
have been given by the College Of
Dentistry during the regular ses-
s1ons for number Of years, this
is the second year in which spec
cial summer courses have been
undertaken. The venture was first
launched last year.
In order to facilitate those den
lists Of Washington and vicinity
tho may plan to take the cours-
es and still keep in touch with
their offices, special morning SEES
sions, covering a slightly longer
period, will be arranged.
Prospective registrants are urg-
ed to communicate at once with

tistry, at 500 w street, N. W.,

Howard Prof.
Finds Cure For
Scurvy Disease

WASHINGTON, D. c., May l.
A professor Of Chemistry at How
ard university has been doing re-
search work for the past three
years on a substance which is be-
lieved to be a preventative for
the disease known as "scurvy"
II was revealed this week.
The substance, known as "Ene-
diols'' which was prepared by DR.
r. Percy Barnes, is now being
tested by Prof. c. G.. King, pro-
lessor Of Chemistry at the Uni
versity Of Pittsburgh.
Although "scurvy", a disease
which develops due to a lack OF
Vitamin G, (knoWn as ascorbic
acid) causes an average Of thirty
deaths a year in the United Stat
es, numerous persons suffer from
mild attacks Of the disease, which
Weakens blood vessels and lowers
personal efficiency.
DR.. Barnes research has CEN
tered around the preparation and
study Of the behavior Of Enc
diols', which is closely related
structurally to Vitamin G, and IS
expected to prove superior to as
cCrbic acid as a preventative for
"scurvy."
The significance Of ''Ene-diols'
in its relationship to Vitamin @,
can be illustrated by the relation
ship Of ''Novocaine' to the drug
cocaine. Cocaine, a naturally oc-
curing drug obtained from coca
leaves, was long used as a local
anesthetic. But it is a habit
forming drug. However, from a
knowledge of the constitution OF
cocaine, the chemist has improved
upon nature by producing the
drug 'Fnovocaine" which is supe-
rior to cocaine, in that it is an
excellent local anethetic and is not
habit-forming.
DR.. Barnes, who was recently
selected to teach the course IN
explosive chemistry now being Of
fered by Howard university as
part of the National Defense pro-
gram, believes that the prepara-
ton and study Of the behavior Of
substances closely related Gas
''Ene-diols" to Vitamin @ may
be Of great importance to human
ity.

Along with Capt. B. D. Davis,
Jr., and Cadet Robert Tressville
now completing his second year at
West Point Military Academy,
Dr.. Marchbanks stands out as
one Of the few sons Of older Ne

Selective
Service
News

"A substantial percentage Of reg
istrants rejected for general mill
tary service on physical grounds
have remediable defects which, if
corrected, Woul5 permit training
Of the men in the armed forces.
National Headquarters, Selective
Service System, announced today.
Although approximately one
third Of all registrants are reject
ed for full military service When
physically examined, only 20 per
cent Of them have defects which
necessitates their placement in
Glass IV-F as unfit for any duty
with the Army. The remaining
II per cent are placed in Class
I-B, fit for limited military ser
vice only, but a considerable num-
Der eof these men have minor all
mentS which may be remedied.
Registrars classified in I-B
should consult their personal ply
sicians, dentists or other cOmpe-
tent practitioners and have re-
mediable defects corrected.
Defective teeth and eyes are the
major causes for physical rejec-
tons, statistics compiled by the
medical division show. Nearly
one-fifth Of the reflections for
failure to meet Army physical
standards are due to dental de-
fects and more than 10 per cent
are due to eye abnormalities.
Reporting on the records Of 65,-
600 men examined, or about 10
per cent of those given physical
examinations by local board ply
sicians, the medical division said
that Of this group 21,O25 were
found to have defects which ne
cessitated the deferment Of regis
trants in Class lib and Class

fend its cause when they fail to
carry out the tenets and princi-
pies Of the constitution upon which
this government is founded?
Solve Home Problems First
We as a race of people have
many viewpoints and lose sight
Of the fact that, as citizens Of
this great country, we have a
problem that first must be solved
here in the United States before
we can extend any argument to
Negroes elsewhere. l make this
statement because one Of our
great columnists took to task a
representative Of the British gov
eminent who spoke before an
American organization because he
failed to state what the policy Of
Great Britain was to be towards
its colonies after the war. One
thing we are sure of. Great Bri-
tain is not hypocritical. It's poll
cy towards the black colonials has
been in keeping with its program
Of offering opportunities to those
throughout its colonies who are
ambitious and able.
For instance, just now McGill
college in Montreal, Canada, one
Of the worlds greatest medical
schools, has revealed the fact that
a number Of Negroes from the
British colonies are taking a
course in medicine and have serv-
ed their interneship in the hos
pital of Canada without restric-
ton nor discrimination. Even
Negroes in the United States have
succeeded in entering the school
and have been given an OppOr-
tUnity to train with the members
Of their class without being made
aware of the fact that their coll
or or nationality was different.
British Colonial Policy Not
Hypocritical
There is a vast difference in the
treatment Of the subjects Of Great
Britain and the United States and
we wish to reiterate that the pol
icy of Great Britain towards its
colonials is not hypocritical. But,
sad to say, we are forced to &C
| knowledge that here in the Unit
&c States, a country which boasts
that it is a democracy, there eX-
lists a natural disposition to deny
one-tenth Of its population the
full rights and privileges Of citi-
zenship due to prejudice against
their color And we further re
peat, that the United States Of
America will never be able to
win the confidence, respect and
friendship of the South American
republics until they are big
enough to wipe out that prejudice
which exists on the basis Of col
or. It is a problem which cannot
be solved in a day. And this
black man in America is patient
and perseVering, believing that
eventually his white brother will
awaken to the weakness Of the
structure upon which we all stand
and hope for freedom.

Fire Victims

PHILADELPHIA, May la
NP)-Relatives Of the fire vic
TINS Of the Maryland fire which
three weeks ago brought death to
eight people, cannot get any law
yer to represent them, it was re-
lated here last week as Mr.. and
/ Mrs. Samuel Mcbride brought an
eyewitness account Of conditions
OF the Maryland Eastern Shore.
Mcbride, who works at the ia
nous Bookbinder's restaurant
here, lost his mother, a sister, and
an aunt in the blaze, respectively,
Letitia Mcbride, so; Mrs. Alice
Wright, ~, and Mrs. Anna Jones,
Sc.
In the hospital in Chance, Md,
there are still % critically hurt
Negroes, with very little Informal
ton being available about them.
Mcbride points out that the
fire which started in a mattress
project brought death and injuries
to Negroes because, following SOU
thern custom, the Negroes on the
project were put in an old con-
demned frame building on the
campus of the Princess Ann
Academy, while white women al
SO learning mattress making were
located in much more modern and
substantial bIIildin0S
Believing that whoever is to be
blamed for the deaths should be
brought into court and sued, the
McBrides tried to get legal aid
lin Maryland, but found no Ne
gro lawyers in the area Of the fire
willing to even consider the case.
There are no cOlOred lawyers
there. They are now appealing
to the NAACP to use its offices
to bring some justice to those who
suffer due to their loss Of rela-
tiVes.

Kin Of Halle
Selassie Attends
School Here

EVANSTON, Ill, May Ian
PA member Of Ethiopian roy
atty, Malaku Emanuel Bayen, Jr.,
is an Evanston resident, it was
learned this week. He is the son
Of the nephew Of Emperor Halle
Selassie, is eight years old and
T'when his father died in New York
six months ago he came to live
IN Evanston with his grandpar-
entS.
Young MaIaku's grandfather is
Joseph Hadley, an employe Of the
suburban WaterWorks and a well
known resident here. The boys
father, Prince Malal1u Bayen, ST.,
married Dorothy, the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hadley in 1881, at
Fairfax, Va, the bride being %
years old, the groom 80. Princess
Bayen was a graduate Of How
ard university and later attached
to the registrars Office there.
Prince Malaku was also a me-
die and the personal physician to
Emperor Halle Selassie. After
the Italian occupation the royal
family fled to England and when
the party reached there, the en-
peror ordered Dr. Malaku to
America to establish a Red Cross
chapter. This the prince did,
publishing meanwhile "The Voice
Of Ethiopia" and aiding refugees
until last year when he died.
Of his devotion to duty, Mrs.
Dora Hadley said here last week:
He hadn't been used to working
and he didn't know when to stop.
He had been gassed in the war
and he used to worry so. We
warned him often about working
so hard but he wouldn't listen.
He said he was working for his
country"
Young Malaku is in the third |
grade at Foster school. He reads
constantly and listens attentively
to the war broadcasts for the lat
est developments in Ethiopia. An
intelligent, serious-minded chap,
his grandmother, Mrs. Hadley,
says he objects to having his hair
cut. Philippians, he says, are
proud Of their hair and prefer to
have it grow long.

Veterans Duck
Appointment Of
Eligible Negro

STPAUL, Mimi, May Run
around tactics have been used by
the Veterans Administration in
dealing with racial discrimination
in a civil service appointment in
volving Charles H. Hale Of this
city.
Mr. Hale, who took and passed
an examination for hospital at
tendant in the Minneapolis Veter-
ans hospital, was certified three
times by the Civil Service Com
mission. But after being inter
viewed by the chief nurse and
the hospital superintendent, he
was told by the superintendent
that he could not be certified by
the hospital because he is a Ne
gro, and the white employees
would resent his living on the
premises and eating with them.
Mr.. Hale referred his case to
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
for possible action. According to
a letter received by the NAACP
from Brigadier General Frank 7.
Hines, administrator Of Veterans
Affairs, Mr.. Hale recently receiv-
led an appointment in the hospi-
tai at Tuskegee Institute, Ala,
far from his home. This appoint
ment makes it impossible for him
to get the Minneapolis job.
