The statement, in the form of a
words asserting, "Waller was
doomed from the start" and that
Gin failing US, the cause of Hitler
ism at home has been aided"
Pointing out "the complete dis
illusionment and embittered resent
ment of the Negro masses in this
country" is "discontent" which is
taking organized form, the state
ment said, "You must realize that
in this case every known instru-
ment of the democratic process was
utilized, only to end in total fail
ure. Certainly you must know that
Negroes are reaching such point
of desperation that they are be-
ginning to express willingness
and determination to die right here
in America to attain a democracy
which they have never had"
Commenting on the 'lack of
sensitivity and intelligence with
which high Administration Off
Gals approach the Negroes prob
lems," the statement continues,
"the insulting phrase we try to do
all we can for your people is in
dicative of the Separation with
which public officials are prone to
view questions involving the Ne
gro, whose main grievance is pre-
cisely the failure on the part of
the Nation to treat him on a par
with any other citizen"
"Waller's electrocution has in
tensified a wave of determination
for a showdown on the question of
total democracy for the Negro
which cannot long be held back by
leaders who use the bargain and
compromise method. It was a sig
nal for the barbarous forces in this
country to renew the unleashing
Of their venom of hatred upon the
Negro people. Within two weeks
after Walters electrocution the
press has reported the lynching Of
Willie Vinson, 25-year-old Negro
in Texarkana, Texas, the lynching
of Private Jessie Smith, 25-year-
old Negro soldier, by a white posse
in Flagstaff, Arizona, and the bru-
tai beating and falling of the noted
Negro tenor, Roland Hayes, and his
wife in Rome, Georgia.
"These fascist-like brutaities in
America are grist for the propa-
ganda mills of the Axis powers and
undoubtedly will be used to destroy
the faith Of the allied nations in
the honesty and integrity of Ameri-
can democracy, and hasten the de-
terioration of the morale of the en-
shaved peoples of the world which
hangs precariously on this faith.
"Your silence has been viewed by
the enemies of democracy at home
as an indication that a single re-
gion, with its policy of openly
Haunting the denial to Negroes Of
constitutional rights guaranteed to
every citizen, is stronger than our
national government.

ueI-Saving Device
Fits on Pipe Between
Furnace and Chimney
Economy Effected by
Utilizing Unburned
Particles and Guses
BY LAWRENCE CROLIUs.

With the old thigh cost of living"
bugaboo staring US In the face
again, 1t behooves more than ever
to look around for ways and means
to cut down living expenses to an
absolute minimum. No longer can
we leave lights burning all over the
house while we enjoy q movie, or
toss any amount Of fuel into our
furnaces, because We don't only
have to conserve electricity and
fuel, but the dollars we save here
and there will come in mighty handy
when tax day comes around.
You possibly know 1t already, but
the chances are that your furnace
Is using much more fuel than 1t
should to heat your house properly.
Old-style furnaces, particularly, are
regular offenders, since they were
designed and built in q lavish age
when 1t wasn't so necessary to cut
corners. As q result . large amount
Of the heat which you are general
ing is allowed to escape to the out
side air. Wouldn't you Like to do
something to corral that heat and
put 1t to work for you?
There Is . self contained fuel
saving unit being manufactured
which Is said to improve the opera
ton Of any kind of q boiler or fur
mace regardless Of the type of fuel
1t burns. This new unit fits into
the flue between the furnace and
chimney, and consists of q compact
metal casing standing on a sturdy
angle-iron framework. The inside
of this unit is arranged In such q
way that the fue gases which pass
through 1t are slowed down 30 that
combustion inside the furnace Is
greatly improved, and a greater
amount of heat is absorbed by the
heating surfaces.
Its action is completely automatic.
and. according to tests made on
various types Of heating plants un-.
der actual service conditions, it has
been found that fuel savings up to
40 per cent have been obtained. This
economy Is made possible by the
utilizing of unburned particles of;
fuel in the form of SCOT or arnoke,
which would ordinarily 60 up the
chimney with heated gases. Fur
thermore, these gases are also used
TO preheat the air used In burning
the fuel, thus causing this air 70
come in over the top of the fire It
q temperature close to the firing
point, and at q more efncient Local

Costly accumulations Of SCOT are
thereby eliminated, and gases which

unburned are prevented from being
wasted. You don't have to worry
about excessive stack draft. either,

Question: How can I remove

Answer-Stickiness of imitation
upholstery is usually due TO the use
of furniture polish or something
similar. Nothing of this sort
should ever be used on leather,
either real or imitation. Wiping with
a cloth dampened with turpentine
should take 1t OF, or washing with
the suds Of any pure soap.
