the prospects of improving 1t. Hit
Ter and the Nazis have long had
a policy of stirring up dissatisfac-
tion among minorities, and they
have addressed a good many ap
peals to the American Negro.
These appeals probably have not
had any great effect, but the Me-
gro cannot be blamed II he senses
the irony of fighting for democracy
abroad when he does not enjoy its
full fruits at home. AS Mrs.
Roosevelt told a church society
last January, THE nation cannot
expect colored people to feel that
the United States Is worth de-
Tending If the Negro continues to
be treated as he now is"
But though the Negro may not
have the same stake in the war
as some of the rest of us, his
stake is still considerable. Hans
Habe, a prisoner of the Germans
after the fall of France, reported
that Negro prisoners were espec-
tally i'll treated and that many of
them were shot outright On the
pretense that they were shippers.
Habe learned of the policies being
set up for Germany's future ocl-
onies in Africa. They included
plans for strict regulation of Ne
gro labor, a rigid policy of segre-
grafton. and complete disenfran-
chisement. The Nazis called the
policy of equal rights for Negroes
a democratic cancer" The Nazi
propaganda line was that the Ne
gro was not an enemy of the
German, but only his slave. The
Negro captives were taught that
the Germans were not his enc
mics, but only his master. Habe |
declared that the Germans hatred |
of colored people seemed to be
deeply rooted. They issued PAM
phlets depicting the Negroes as
cannibals. The Negroes in the
Prison camp were penned in a
special Enclosure, which the Ger
mans seemed to regard as a sort
of zoo. Any kindness to these
prisoners were strictly forbidden.
Negro doubts about the races
stake in the war should fade in
the light of Axis plans for col
ored people. Moreover, though
conditions in this country are by
no means ideal for the Negro,
there have recently been some
signs of improvement. For in
stance, take the matter of higher
education. twenty-five years ago
the total enrolment of all Negro
colleges was only 2637. Last year
this enrollmnet had reached a !
figure above $4,000 = some IT
times as great. Twenty Negro
schools have attained standards
which make it possible to accredit
them as recognized liberal arts
colleges.
In 1899 the Supreme Court
ruled that Negro teachers must
receive the same salaries as whites
for comparable services. Last
year Gallup poll of southern
whites indicated that about half
of them favored providing equal

 Furnaces-No Priorities Necessary

to put in grates. I can get the grates, but I need some bolts, rivets, nuts, and pins to install 1t. What can I do about this?
 A. File a PD-1A application, giv- ing complete information. Be sure and state in your application that you need this for oil conversion pur- poses.
 8. @. am a jobber, and under L. 63 I can't put in an adequate SUD- ply of grates to take care of what the demand will be this winter What should I do?
 A. You should file an appeal, ad- dressed to the War Production Board. Show in the appeal that you need this equipment for anticipated conversion jobs.
 g. o. How can a conversion job be financed?
 A. Conversion jobs have been re- moved from the restrictions of Reg ulation. Owner can now apply to local bank, and arrange to finance the cost of conversion.

The stream of workers marching into the Newport News Shipyards, pictured above, is a tiny drop in the tremendous flood of people who poured into tho Norfolk area on the crest of the war boom. . Along with other problems, they have brought housing crisis. Even stub roOkeries, like the ones shown at right, are terribly con-
 gested.
 close to 15,OO0 "tempos" have sprung up; on the Norfolk side, twice that number.
 Everybody builds housing units here. Navy went into the apart ment business and threw up g com naunity called Benmoreell, accom- modating around 1900 families of seamen. FSA, PEA, USHA-all the characters in governments alphabet soup have scarified the landscape with their own projects, and re- gently outside builders from the north have dominated the construc- tion scene.
 Still there is not room. Washing ton, D. C., supposedly possessed of acute transportation and housing difficulties, is a peaceful, idyllic community contrasted to the Nor folk area.

In last evenings issue of the Dem- ocrat the government in a series of questions and answers explained to the house owner the methods to follow in converting oil burning fur naces into coal furnaces. Tonight the government advises the dealer or business man on how to comply with the general request for immediate conversion of all oil consuming fur naceS.
 1. o. I am in the heating bus mess and want to buy some grates, but my jobbing house will not sell them to me without priority. What should I do?
 A. The sale of grates is not re- stricted, and no priorities are ne- cessary. If you will let us have the name of your jobber, we will be glad to call him u p and explain this to him. The chances are that he is not familiar with the procedure, and is therefore asking you for priorities,
 2. @. Can I use PEA to get grates for conversion?
 A. No. You do not need any pri- ority to buy these grtaes. PEA is only to be used for replacement and repair purposes.
 3. O. I want to put in a new boiler to replace an oil burning type boiler that cannot be converted They tell me I need a priority on this under L-79. Paragraph No. 8 o1 L-79 says Nothing in this order shall be construed to limit the sale or delivery of any shipment which is to be used for the purpose of con- verting oil burning equipment or gas burning equipment to coal burn ing equipment" Why do have tc have priority?
 A. L-79 defines certain types oi metal heating equipment. These types are subject to the restrictions of L-70. Paragraph No. 8 merely states the fact that any equipment not especially mentioned may be solo without priority. This refers to grate equipment, and other similar things such as shaker bar firing tools, etc It does not apply to the various items defined as metal heating equipment.
 {. e. am wholesaler. If I sell my grate stock without ratings how am going to replace 1t?
 A. You may file a PD-ix show ing what ratings you have on PISA and showing the balance as grats oil conversion sales. No priority l. needed for you to buy this grate equipment from the manufacturer.
 s. e. I want to put stoker on ( lob to convert from oil to coal. Ths stoker manufacturer tells me thai he has this stoker practically built but not assembled. and wants priority, I thought that stokeri could be sold without priorities: be- sides, this one is ell made up any' way.
 4, If Q stoker is under sixty pounds. and has been manufactured ln accordance with L.T1, you dt not need a priority. If it is ovel sixty pounds, the manufacturer has to have Q priority in order 10 even assemble iE. You sill have te eel your customer t0 file an application for a priority on c Ppsik form.

JEWRY PREPARES
 FOR TOM KIPPUR
PentitentiaI Period to Open
 With Sunset Sunday Evening

Tom Kippur, the Day of Atone ment will be observed by all Jewry Sunday evening and Monday. This holiest day of the Jewish calendar will be observed by a 24-hour fast from all food and drink.
 The holiday will be uShered in on Sunday at sunset by the tra- ditional Kol Nidre prayer. The day is one of confession and re- pentence for all sins committed Jewish law which considers all men equal before God, each indivi- dual prays for forgiveness from his own sins.
 During the afternoon service on Monday, a special memorial ser- vice for the dead will be held in all synagogues. The services are closed with a special prayer known as the closing of the gates" at which time Jews are given their final opportunity to seek forgive hess before their fate for the com ing year is sealed. According to ancient legend, everyone passes in judgement before the Lord on Rosh Hashana, celebrated last week, and his fate is sealed on the Day of Atonement. Through prayer, penitence and righteous action, a severe fate may be averted before the judgement is sealed.

NEW PAMPHLET
 ON SAVING FUEL
Useful Guide for Home Owners Now May
 Be Had

Information to assist the home owner in fuel conservation methods, the procedure of converting oil burner heating plants to coal, and the proper methods of firing coal and other fuels in heating equip ment are outlined in a new pamph- let entitled War on Fuel Waste How To Do It, just issued by the war service committee of the Amer ican Society of Heating and Venti- lating Engineers, 51 Madison ave- nue, New York, N. Y.
 "The desire of all Americans to cooperate in conserving fuel as a war measure is recognized by the committee says pr. B. M. Woods, chairman, land 1t is hoped that this pamphlet will serve as useful guide in simplifying the ways in which the Ten Ways to Save Fuel can be achieved"
 Four things that can be done by the home owner without cost: (a) avoid oyerheating by proper firing and correct thermostat adjustment; (b), maintain lower temperatures: lc) do not heat unused rooms; and (d) improve radiator efficiency by cleaning surfaces, removing drapea and other obstructions to air cir- culatlon.
