HOW SAFE AN AUTO DRIVER
ARE YOU?

Every driver in Omaha will be
given the opportunity to get the n
swer to that important question at the
courthouse any day except Sunday dur
ing the two weeks, October 6-18.
Through arrangements made by
Ralph H. Campbell Insurance Agency,
the elaborate safe driving tests feat
ured by Aetna Insurance Company at
the New York World Fair, will be op-
Grated in the courthouse rotunda un-
der the joint auspices Of the Omaha
Safety Council, Omaha Police Depart
ment, Nebraska Safety Patrol and the
Sheriffs office.
Everyone is invited to take these
tests without charge. Each person
will be given his own score, and no rec
ord will be kept of them.
The first test, on the Barometer,
judges the drivers reaction to head
light glare. It reveals how much light
he needs to identify objects against
glare of an oncoming car.
The second test, on the Reacto-
meter, measures his reaction time in
applying the brakes in an emergency.

The German High Command and

have made, have destroyed, in killed,
wounded and captured, about 26 mil

several times. Russia had but 1880
soldiers when the war began.

Udder ointment is used for cleans
ing the udders of cows. Recently,
however, at n of the Douglas county
establishments, according to the
World-Herald, it is now being used on
persons. That is different, ever if it
is not new. It seems that the County

Clearview Home, where there are no
COWS, hence the explanation as to it's

NATION TO CELEBRATE THE
150th ANNIVERSARY OF THE
BILL OF RIGHTS

December 18th, 1941, will mark
the 150th anniversary of the adoption
of the first Ten Amendments to the
Constitution, commonly called the
BILL OF RIGHTS.
In these amendments are to be
found the guarantees of individual lib
erty, including FREEDOM OF RELI-
GION; FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH. At the
time they were adopted they did not in
clude all the men and women of the
country; the PEOPLE OF COLOR"
and Colored Chattel Slaves, were ex-
cluded. Years afterward they were to
be included at the cost of a million in
human lives and a billion in treasure.
Now, all Of us may and must join
in celebrating the 150th anniversary
of "THE BILL OF RIGHTS" which
means more today than it has ever
meant before.
The Colored People. of the coun-
try, like their fellow countrymen of
other races, have taken liberty for
granted. 1t can no longer be taken for
granted anywhere in the world today.
Therefore, let the Colored People
of the NATION organize celebrations
in every town and city in the United
States where they reside, parade the
streets; assemble in halls and churches
and hear addresses on the BILL OF
RIGHTS, what they have meant and
mean to Negroes and mankind. Let
us do this not only because it is right
We should, but for the greater reason
that we have given more in proportion
to u numbers to make LIBERTY A
LIVING THING here in America than
any other racial group, while at the
same time receiving the least from it.
But the principle must not die,
and if it is kept alive, we shall yet
know its benefits and share its bless
ings. And by holding this torch aloft
we shall serve not only ourselves, but
mankind everywhere.
The time to begin is now, the
place, here.
Distinguished men and women of
the NATION are backing the celebra-
ton under the auspices of the COUN-
GIL AGAINST INTOLERANCE IN
AMERICA.

THE WAR
PRODUCTION ANSWER

If We are really in earnest pro-
ducing war materials, let the manu-
facturer make a profit and pay the
workers high wages. The present prac
tice and suggested practice of limiting
profits and wages, will lead to failure
of the whole war effort.
Workers will spend if they earn.
And thus the whole cycle will become

Archibald 5 Thin Title

CoIored Boy Will Cory
K. o. Threat Into Ring
At Stodium Tonight

joey Archibald will defend his
New York Maryland featherweight
title tonight at Griffith Stadium in
l5-round session with sepia Chalky
Wright of California.
Wright is favored to win and in
some quarters the prognosticators
add the significant phase-by a
knockout.
Archibald has trained diligently
for the fight, although some ardent
observers did not care particularly
for Joey's methods. Little money
will change hands on the business
for nobody expects Archibald to win,
yet everybody is afraid to wager
against him.
Wrights record speaks for itself.
He's belted out everybody but Uncle
Tom and Little Eva and has been
running around in heavier company
for want of something to do. Chalky
is the logical choice.
This will be Wright's first crack
at the 126-pound belt and the third
defense of it by Archibald. joey
took the first two with votes to
spare.
Archibald, no slow thinker, per-
hapS will let Wright come to him
tonight-if let is the word-and try
to beat him off with a backfire of
sweeping left hooks. joey prefers to
play a waiting game. counter
punching and looking for openings
for brisk right.
Chalky is not bashful with his
features and probably will keep bor-
ing in from the first bell to the last,
trying to put the chill on his oppo-
nent. II Wright does land his Sun
day sock. it should be curtains for
Joey. If he doesn't, Archy may out
tumble him.
