But Roosevelt has a better way
than merely talking" his interest in
the Negro race. He tries to formulate
policies that will not work without
them and which will be a general bless
ing in which the Negro must share.
Let us beware Of the implications Of
those Negro leaders who always hold
the Negro up as a threat. Negroes are
not in a position in this country to DO
much threatening. The psychology
of threats is against the Negroes inter
eSts.
Furthermore, there is a question
in many minds, whose face was saved
when the march on Washington was
called off, the administrators or the
march sponsors? There have been
raised serious questions, as to the num-
Der that would have marched. The
fundamental question raised as to lett
ing the march drift into the leadership
of subversive elements prejudiced
many conscientious Negroes against
the march tactics. Our communist
comrades have a way of running a.
way with the show" and so caution
was in order. Our leadership should be
wary about using the Negro as a
threat. AS a threat the Negro and his
best efforts are strictly limited. Co
operation is the word and offers the
more effective t~hreatless way.

How TO Get
More Plants
CheapIy
BY AMATEUR GARDENER

THE SIMPLEST and most
inexpensive way TO get more Of
a plant is by making cuttings.
While there are a few plants
that are increased more favor
ably by division and by seeds,
most Of them are easily multi
piled by cutting.
Hardwood cuttings are those
that are made from grapes, or
willows or popularS and other
softwood trees and bushes such
as gooSeberries and currants.
Roses are sometimes propagated
from hardwood. Hardwood in
this case means wood that Is
dormant as most hardwood cut
tingS are made in the Fall after
the leaves have fallen.
Softwood cuttings arc those
that are made from wood that is
active and growing at the time
the cuttings are taken, such as
"mumS," begoniaS, coleus or
geraniumS. These are best made
during the growing season.
Sand and peatmoss mixed half
and half is the best roofing me-
dunn, but many plants will
make new roots rapidly if the
cutting is just stuck into the
ground along side the parent
plant. Work the ground up as
fine as possible and even then
always make a hole in the
ground where the cutting is 10
go. Firm the soil around the
cutting but do not pack down
