No American Citizen of any degree of intelligence re-

can deny that this country passing through one of
the most trying periods since the beginning of the
Frequent racial disturbances both with respect to Ne

the complete reports of boodshed DEATH damage NAV
we'll be classed the in the nations history: should
bring at once, to serious question: study action the
need for full Indignation of the Negro into the war effort
and into the political and civic life of every state com
murity, and of the nation.
The Detroit riot which every American citizen of any
amount of goodwill is joined in the hope that it will be the
elimination and end of such disturbances in this country
should make it clearly evident that it is impossible
to constantly expound SUCH high ideals contained in
the Declaration of Independence the American Constitu

unqenchable desires of the human spirit in every Amer
can breast be it humble and regardless to color
That it is tragic and hypocrtca to expound such
noble precepts without giving them the bulwark of
parable examples.
The Detroit riot should make it clear to intelligent
people everywhere who cherish the christian IDEAL that
race prejudice is of the most sinister powerfu and do
sTucuVe evils existing III the nation an evil that is paw
ing at the very vals of christian civilization American
and world democracy
The Detroit riot should also bring the fore an in
creasng number of white ard Negro men and women of
sincere and determined goodwill every state and section
OF the nation who having discovered the schemes of the
sesh and seseekng of the demogog bigot in keep

ITU To Vote On
Re-en+ry Into AL

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 90 (FP)
One hundred and fifty-three To-
Gals of the International Typo
graphical Union (unaffiliated)
have ratified a call for a referen-
DUN of the unions entire member
ship on reaffiliation with the AFL,
ITU President Claude M. Baker
announced here.
A resolution calling for reaffili-
alton was submitted by Newark
Local 103. No date for the refer
endum has been set by the ITU
executive council, Baker said.
The ITU was expelled by the
AFL in October, 1889, after the
membership had twice refused to
pay a special 1-cent per capita
assessment levied by the AFL to
combat the CIO. At the time of
expulsion the ITU was two years
in arrears on the assessment. Be
fore per capita payments could be
resumed, reaffiliation would have
to be ratified by the AFL conven-
ton.

sorry stuff. 1t was difficult to
grow. And it produced only two
units of penicillin per cubic cent?

Don't ask why Meyer decided
this might work. He can't tell

Production shot up Immediately.
He looked for other foods that
might be tempting; and looked
for more productive strains of
the mold. All this, of course, re-

crowned with magnificent sue

found a microbe that would pro-
duce tremendous quantities of glu-
comic acid. At the time, this stuff
was a chemical curiosity costing
Sl00 a pound. But once it was
available, in quantity and at a low
price, research men quickly found
uses for it. They found that if it
were converted into calcium glu-
conate, it had uses in tanning,
metallurgy, and in making tooth
paste. But its most striking use
was in veterinary medicine, where
it provided a ready source of cal
cium form easily assimilated
