Mrs. Gillies confides that she her. self happens to like very much yell low, flowers, deep woods, autumn foliage, spring Towering bulbs, oceans, ponds, streams, wood fires and fabrics. And that she actively dislikes drab surroundings, huge cultivated flowers, so-called domes- tic Orental rugs, big crowds, fuSSy things, and limitations of anything. CONVICTIONS
 GIVE CONFIDENCE
 "Even though at first you are un- able to interpret and make helpful deductions from your ists," Mrs. Gillies advises, simply determining your likes will train you in making quick decisions If you develop the ability to feel reactions clearly, you won't go into tailspin trying to de- eide, for instance, what kind of ma terial to use for draperies. You will know what you like and that will be the thing to use.
 Incidentally, you will find that having a nice solid core of convic- tions (likes and dislikes) tucked away in your conscious mind will give you a new confidence in every thing you do. It also will make you & great deal more interesting per- son."
 Mary Davis Gillies points out her decorating book that only an extremely small amount of money is needed to give a jaded room a new face. A can of bright paint, few yards of inexpensive although really gay cotton slipcover and drapery fabric, plus new and imaginative encouragement of the old furniture, often are al lthat is required to turn dull room into a stunning one.
 Mrs. Gillies warns against a great striving for original, unconvntional effects by anyone who is decorating for the first time, or even the sec- OnCh

Skid Season Is
At Height Now
March Calls For Special
Caution If Accidents Are
To Be Avoided.

The great skid season will be at
its nelght IN many parts of the
country in March, warns the Ma
.ional Conservation Bureau, acct
dent prevention division of the AS
ISOLATION of Casualty and Surety
Executives.
This" say the safety men, calls
for extraordinary precautions by
motorists to avoid getting into one
of those uncomfortable spins, which
account for so many accidents on
Americas streets and highways"
Skids occur at all seasons of the
year but they are particularly prev
llent when road surfaces are icy,
accident prevention specialists point
out. Except in the southern warm
belt, ice coated streets are especial
ly frequent during the first half
OF March. Snow or rain followed by
sudden cold blows quickly turns
highways and streets into veritable
death traps.
Since few drivers know how to
keep car out of sudden skid, or
to minimize the consequences of a
skid once it has started, National
Conservation Bureau specialists Of
fer the following recommendations.
To prevent skid before it starts.
l. When starting car on a slip
perry surface put gear in second
engage clutch very slowly and care
fully.
g. When stopping on slipperyasur-
face, leave clutch engaged and APP
ply brakes lightly and intermittent
ly.
g. Approach curves slowly. II
there is still tendency to skid, ac-
CELEBRATE very slightly as you round
the curve.
To come out of skid:
|. Steer in the direction of the
skid.
O. If the roadway ahead is clear
accelerate slightly and steadily.
3. Do not apply brakes unless q
collision is inevitable. Braking al
most invariably increases The skid
However, there are times when
braking may prevent a crash into a
vehicle Immediately ahead

Judge Orders Spell For Trial Despite

that the Estate has failed utterly

Seek Removal Of White Draft Board

having sent memorandum includ-
ing the following statements to the
appeals board in connection with
the case of Leon Melvin, who
sought deferment on the ground
that he had dependents:

great deal to straighten this gen.

johnson Replies To
Houston Challenge

Correspondent Of the Northwest
Enterprise.)
To the editor:
Re: Article by Jddge VIM. Hous-
ton--"A challenge to Negro demo-
Gratis" in December goth issue of
the Northwest Enterprise, kindly
allow space to print the follow
ing
Judge Hueston brings to our
attention a condition which has
existed since the close of the civil
war through Republican as well
as Democratic administrations.
This condition rather than being
challenge only to Negro Demo-
Gratis, is a challenge to all Ameri-
cans regardless of race of poll
teal affiliation.
1t was within the province of
the Republican party between the
administrations of Grant and
Cleveland, a period of sixteen
years to put an end to the out
rageous treatment accorded Negro
people in the South. The 18th
Amendment (1865 had made the
Negro freedman, the 18th
Amendment (1868) had made him
citizen and the 18th Amend
ment t1870) made him a voter.
The incorporation of these amend
ments in the Constitution if pro-
perly enforced, would have pro-
tected the Negroes freedom, citi-
zenship and suffrage against I'M
friendly state legislation such as
now prevails in several Southern
states. Clearly the Constitution
states that no state can pass a
law violating any clause of it, and
clearly the Republican party fail
ed to protect the Negro in the
rights guaranteed him by the Con-
stitution during the years it was
in complete control of the govern
ment. Grant, attempting to give
some measure of protection, sent
troops into the South, but Hayes,
upon assuming the Presidency or
dered their withdrawal. From then
on, neither party has made any
tangible effort to enforce the 18th
Amendment in states where the
Negro is denid the right to vote.
No Negro democrat has any re-
spect for the Democratic party in
the states to which Judge Hueston
refers. The answer is, majority
of Negroes have turned to the De-
mocratic party in recent years, is
first, Roosevelt and the New Deal
program which at least seems to
offer a fairer chance and a fuller
life. Second, in protest of the Re-
publican partys lack of protection
which at the same time using the
Negro as pontoon bridge merely
to carry it across to victory.
These factors are, further pre-
Dictated by the fact that the Negro
has learned that all the good are
not in one party nor all the bad
in the other, in the belief by the
younger generation that since we
must work out our own destiny,
we can more effectively destroy
the evils of the Democratic party
by fighting them from within than
from without, and in the knowl-
edge that votes are more and more
becoming of supreme value and
that by the application of more
cold blooded logic to the practical
affairs of life, we may not always
be compelled to scratch the backs
of those who will not in return
scratch ours. AS for Judge Hues-
toms pledge to get every Republic
can member of Congress to sup
port bill to give the Negro his
full rights in the South, while we
would like to believe the Judge,
we cannot forget the conduct of
number of Republican Senators
when the last anti-lynch bill was
up for passage.
