door opened and he was led down
the hall to the rear stairs and up
to the second floor to the door OF
Mary's room. 1t seemed chat ne
could not breathe What did they
bring him here for? His body was
once more wet with sweat. How long
could he stand this without col
lapsing again? They led him into
the room. 1t was crowded with arm
ed policemen and neWspapermen,
ready with their bulbs. He looked
round; the room was just as he
had seen it that night. There was
the bed upon which he had sEnoth-
cred Mary The clock with the
glowing dial stood on the small
dresser. The same curtains were at
the windows and the shades were
still far up, as far up as they had
been that night when he had stood
near them and had seen Mrs. Dali
ton in flowing white grope her
way slowly into the dark room with
her hands lifted before her. He
felt the eyes of the men upon him
and his body stiffened, flushing
hot with shame and anger. The
man with the golden star on his
chest came to him and spoke in a
soft tone.

Bragdon says the recent race riots
are volcanic eruptionS c. undelly-
ing heat and preSSures of hate and
fear of hate. They can not be
blamed on the war, and we cart
by making subversive groups the
scapegoat escape our social respOn-
sibility." AS for the schools solving
the problems of inter-racial ten
sions, he reminds the public that
they can't expect the school to COM
bat prejudice by itself, but at the
same time, the school does have a
part to play"
OTHER SOLUTIONS
Other means towards the solu-
ton, as advocated by the director
of the workshop, the first of its
kind in the HISTORY Of the univer-
sity and probably the first in the
country, are: one, allowing the
FEPC to reward violations of their
codes with suitable punishment,
and second, voluntary cooperation
on the part of the two dissenting
parties whether it be capital and
labor, or white and colored.
The workshop, though, is not
looking for solutions, but is rather
trying to find promising approaches
for school efforts in the interest of
inter-raciai adjustment, going at
it in as cautiously realistic and ex-
perimental way as possible" Be-
sides examining current practices
in schools, and engaging in frequent
discussions, they have heard from
many of the experts in other fields
such as DR.. Allpert, Harvard pro-
fesSor and authority in psychology

we, the Jury, believe that
the said occurrence was murder and
recommend that the said Bigger
Thomas be held to the Grand jury
On a charge of murder, until re-
leased by due process of law
The voice droned on, but Bigger
did not listen. This meant that he
was going to jail to stay there until
tried and executed. Finally, the
coroner's voice stopped. The room
was full of noise. Bigger heard men
and women walking past him. He
looked about him like man waking
from a deep sleep. Max had hold of
his arm.
Bigger"
He turned his head slightly,
I'll see you tonight. They're
taking you to the Cook County
Jail. I'll come there and talk
things over with you. Well see what
can be done. Meanwhile, take it
easy. As soon as you can, lie down
and get some sleep, hear?"
Max left him. He saw two police
men wheeling Bessie's body back
through the door The two police
men who sat ~ either side of him
took his arms and locked his wrists
to theirs. Two more policemen
stood in front of him and two more
stood in back.
Come on, boy"
Two policemen walked ahead,
making path for him in the dense
crowd. AS he passed white men and
women were silent, but as soon as
he was some few feet away, he
heard their voices rise. They took
him out of the front door, into the
hall He thought that they were 60
ing to take him back upstairs and
he made a motion to go in the di-
rection of the elevator. but they
jerked him roughly back.
This way!"
They led him out of the front
door of the building, to the street.
Yellow sunshine splashed the side
walks and buildings A hugs throng
of people covered the pavement.
The wind blew hard. Out of the
shrill pitch of shouts and screams
he caught a few distinct words:
9" turn i'm loose!"
q" :. give i'm what he gave that
girl y
:" let us take care of m! :"
burn that black ape :"
A narrow aisle was cleared for
him across the width of the pave
ment to waiting car. AS far as he
could see, there were blue coated
white men with bright silver stars
shining on their chests. They wedg-
ed him tightly into the back seat
of the car, between the two police
men to whom he was handcuffed.
The motor throbbed. Ahead, he saw
a car swing out from the curb and
roll with screaming siren down the

E. B. L. Dear Doctor: Why hello,
hope you are fine. Just a few lines
to let you know my troubles. My
face is broken out on both sides
OF my cheeks in round rings, kinder
like ring worm. My face runs this
way over a year. 1t is even on my
lips. Please let me know how much
money you will take to get it off
me. My uncle recommended you to
me.
Ans. - Young lady, your par
ents need a good lacking up
for letting your face run on
this way. Why, with the right
kind of medical treatment, it
could soon be brought under
control. Let me add that you
will continue to suffer with
this condition unless you place
yourself under the treatment of
a reliable doctor. If you can't
get treatment i'm the little town
where you live insist that
your parents carry you to the
city. Finally, / strongly advise
you to stop trying to treat your
self with remedies the neighbors
and kinsfolk recommend. This
advice applies to agents, mail
order houses and herb doctors
as well. You need specialized
medical treatment and YOU
can't get it from quacks.
