Plane Flights Aid in
Fight Against Hay Fever

Medical science took to the ma
tons airways in 1910 on behalf Of
1000, 900 Americans suffering from
hay fever.
Transport planes participated in a
coast-to-coast series Of experiments,
each carrying oil-smeared slides at
attitudes ranging to $4,000 feet. The
surveys were sponsored separately
by Oren c. Durham, a Chicago bot
anist, and the Hollister-Stier labora-
tories Of Spokane. Wash.
If successful, the studies may pro-
vide the medical profession with one
Of its major achievements in the
logged battle against pollinosis. The
full story Of the experiments may
emerge at winter medical meetings.
By studying the course and ex-
tent Of wind-blown pollen migration,
the investigators hoped to obtain
additional data for the desensitiza-
ton treatment Of pollinosis victims.
The treatment begins with injections
of pollen extracts until the aIlergy
is determined.
For a number Of years, however,
1t had been recognized that hay fe-
yer in many instances could be
traced to pollen from a plant not
found in the victims community. In
these cases, the value Of an index
to local plants and hay fever prev.

are professional disrupters. They
think it a demonstration of their
worth and ability to be able to tear
it up. No intelligence or training
is necessary to tear down. 1t re-
quires skill, ability and training to
build house. But any fool with
a sledge hammer and a crowbar
can tear it down. Because you can
keep up confusion in an organiza-
ton, and disrupt it, because you
can spread dissension and break it
up, does not mean that you have
the ability to organize and build
such organizations,
WHY CAN'T WE have faith in
our own abilities to rise and cease
trying to build ourselves and our
institutions at the expense of 9th
ers. If society thinks an organi-
cation is not worth while it can
not live. An institution which lives
has without doubt some place and
function in society. 1t may not
mean anything to you, but others
receive some benefit. Both insti-
tutions and leaders will either sur
vive or perish by their own merits
or demerits. It is not necessary,
therefore, to think Of destroying
others that you may have some
place for yourself or your pet
scheme or enterprise to stand upon.
TOO MUCH OF OUR
STRENGTH is wasted in fighting
one another, and there is not
enough left to be used in construc-
tive planning and building. We
stand today so very much in need
of constructive workers. Unfortu-
nately for US there must be plan
ming, Negro planning, if we are to
survive. At present there is none.
We should shut our eyes and stop
our ears to those individuals and
that type of leadership in any
sphere that is forever trying to
destroy somebody or some institu-
ton in order to make room for
himself or that which he promotes.
If an individuals work or an in
stitution's work does not by it's very
genius, quality and utility merit
place in the confidence and support
of the people, time will be the
judge. We must stop cultivating
competition and wasteful
strife between our leaders and our
organizations so that we all may
enter in earnest upon a program of
building.

What's Wrong?
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.

By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
At certain irregular intervals
A new controversy arises,
About Negroes civil rights
Among US division appears
causing endless surprises.
Indignation meetings are held
To discuss what course to take,
Then we finally decide what to do,
Inform our group to keep wide
awake.
Many are the meetings,
Committees work feverishly-
Maybe they get results,
If not, what happens consequent
ly?
It looks like the same old thing
We're up against brick wall,
Protestations don't seem to solve
Our groups rights at all.
What's to be done about this?
Everyone has thought the same
Seen what's happened time and
again
Maybe we don't play the Other
groups game.
They believe in being strong po'
litically,
If we were we could stop a lot
And until we recognize this fact,
Wen be continually put on the
spot.
It's all right to keep on fighting,
To try and get our rights,
But they'll never be obtained
Until we stop having interna
fights.

THIS
U. S. Naval Academy and
Hitler
BY Hobart T. Mitchell

Once upon q time n little boy
and his smaller sister were pick
ing up coal, that fell from the cars,
in the railroad yards of a certain
urban town. Being of a poor but
very religious family, this eco
nOlnie measure was a necessity.
Going about this duty of prOvid-
ing fuel for the family eOOkstOve,
the little girls shoe got caught in
the frog of a switch. Yelling for
her brother to release her foot, the
cries of the child were somewhat
smOthered by the noise of an ap-
preaching train on the same track.
Finally he saw her plight, but did
not move to assist his sister. He
stood perfectly still. A switch was
thrown further up the yards by
brakeman and the ehild's life was
saved. When asked by his parents
why he did not 60 to the rescue of
his sister, he replied, well, / knew
God was going to save my little
sister so 1 watched to see just how
He was going to do it."
We have been profoundly puz-
zled regarding certain reactions of
various groups or individuals in
their attitude toward persons of
different hue than themselves. But
we have made up our minds to
stand on the sidelines and watch
to see how God is going to
straighten out these conditions.
These United States of Ameri-
ca are supposed to be the very hub
of democracy, but what do we find
at the United States Naval Aead-
envy? A few days ago at this aead-
envy, where they teach one to be
''an officer and a gentleman" LUG
ian v. Alexis, Jr., a Negro stu
dent at Harvard and on the La
Crosse team, was barred by the
gentlemen" in a Lacrosse match
Between the Naval School and Har-
ward University.
These same gentlemen" are des-
tined to be our future admirals.
We hate to think these gentle
men" embryonic admirals of our
navy catering to race hatred of the
lowest possible type.
Hitler refused to shake the hand
of Jessie Owens, the Olympic star,
because his skin did not compare
in color to his. The Lacrosse team
of the Naval School refused to play
in a game with Harvard's Lucian
v. Alexis, Jr., for the same identi-
cal reason.
But as we write these last words,
we hear a whisper, peace and
friendship will be perpetual be-
tween the groups, races, and cOun-
tries and all offences or acts of
hOstilities will be mutually forgiven
and buried in oblivion, never to be
had in remembrance"
We shall be like the little coal
gatherer, only we shall hear a
whisper and forget about ''Once up
on a time" but seek to live hap
PLY ever afterwards"

COOPERATION is one of the
great needs of Negro leadership
and Negro organizations. There is
too much organizational strife, in
dividual conflict and wasteful COM
petition going on between our lead
ers and between our organizations.
Of course, a certain amount Of
criticism, competition and opposi-
ton is necessary to the healthy
growth of leaders and organiza-
tons but too much Of our opposi-
ton is wilfully designed for the
purpose only of destroying. We
have entirely too much of this sort
of thing.
This internal strife between lead
ers and organizations is greatly i'm
peding the progress Of the Race in
every line of endeavor. We, the
Negro, are in serious need of mu-
tual concern.
FAR TOO MANY of US think
that the technique of building our
selves or our organizations is that
of tearing some other leaders or
organization down. Many of us
have given ourselves and our tai
ents to the evil of undermining and
discrediting leadership and disrupt
ing organizations because we feel
that by this means we increase our
powers and enhance our prestige.
We find in the field of business
Negroes who refuse to. associate
themselves and their interests with
other Negroes in business because
they have the erroneous idea that
they build their business by run
ming down or destroying their COM
petitor. They have an idiotic no
ton in their heads that they can
build bigger and better, working
alone.
WORTHY INSTITUTIONS and
organizations which could make a
distinct contribution to the COM
munity and play a large and vital
! part in the economic, social, re-
ligious and political advancement
of the Race are too often unneces-
sarily attacked and opposed when
they deserve to receive the ardent
support and cooperation Of all Ne.
groes. Negro leaders who should
be devoting all of their time and
energies to the task of leading
spend too much of these trying t.
kill off others who attempt to lead
We raise no objection to those
leaders and organizations which
oppose inscriptions would-be lead
ers and fraudulent organizations
or those who point out real (not
fanciful) failings in the structure
and function of organizations, will
a view toward aiding in their cor
rection. 1t is their duty as leader
to oppose everything detrimental
to the Negroes interests. God for
bid that the day will ever com,
when there are none with sufficien
vision and courage to speak on
against hypocrisy, fraud, and ig
norance wherever it is seen. But {
great majority of us fight othe
leadership and attack other Organi
cations, with but one thought ii
mind, advancing ourselves.
