permit a professional hairdresser

rolling il up at home because
she said most American wives
did just that!
All the girls around the studio
liked Marsha--even the glamour

looked so nice and wholesome.
But what a change-and as
the girls point out, so suddenly;

curly, is devaststingly smart
Long false lashes blink as seduc-
lively as Greta Carlo over the
Hunt eyes that have suddenly
become alluring. And the clothes

Last chances do come. We as a race

trust we have not sinned away our
day of grace. But we cannot take
anything for granted. "The mills of
God grind slowly, but they grind ex-

On November II, 1918, when news
that the armistice was signed was
brought into the assembly of bishops
Of the Methodist Church, they spon-
taneously called on Bishop Quayle to
speak. They expected the silver
tongued orator to express their deli
rious joy in a flow of oratory. In
stead, he arose and said very solemn
ly: "Now that peace has come we
must see that justice is done to the
Negro" and he sat down. Peace
meant that to him-or nothing. 1t
was the greatest speech of his life.
So far Americas greatest act as a
nation has been the liberation of the
slaves. Her next great act will be to
give the descendants of those freed
slaves equality of opportunity. We
must do it, not through patronage or
condescension, but through simple

turn they have made more progress
in these eighty years since slavery
than any race in human history in
that length of time. We should be
proud of them and open the gates of
opportunity to them. For as Booker
T. Washington said once, There is
no way to keep a man down in the
gutter except to stay down with him."
We are degrading ourselves in the
eyes of the world and in our own
eyes by degrading the Negro. And
our professed belief in democracy is
3 farce unless we are willing to give
equality of opportunity right here
and now to the Negro.
"They did not sing!" How could
they sing and be honest? We must
reverse that, and we must make it
possible for them to sing with us,
"My country, tits of thee, sweet land
of liberty" And if we do, we our
selves will be able to sing it with
freedom-we will sing it with no
choking in our voices and with no
Juggling at our consciences.
But whatever we do we must do
quickly and decisively, For Gods
Judgment Hour is upon us.

gro equality Of opportunity all down

The Negro has much to contribute
to us. Not to take that contribution
is, in the words of a white principal
of a Negro institution, "like refusing
million dollars as a gift" Our at
titude toward the Negro will have to
change from one of patronage and
condescension to one of appreciation
and gratitude.
A white officer sent up a Negro
student aviator and told him to do an

the officer, the student did it. He

will we suppress them and thus turn
