fessor Of sociology at the Uni
versity of Chicago, one Of the
outstanding thinkers Of this
area. DR.. Wirth spoke on
"The Negroes Stake in the
Post War World" He declared
that peace will not break out
all at once and that perpara-
tions ought to be made for it
now. He urged Negroes to adj
vance their position in every
way they could but to work
for advancement and safe
guarding the interests of all
the people as the surest meth
Cd of advancing their own
racial interests.
He did not decry, he said,
efforts to push ahead the wei
fare of Negroes in times such
as these but he thought that
pressure should be applied in
telligently and that apprecia-
ton should remain of the
starting progress made dur
ing recent years and care TAX
en- to lose none of it.

SCORE BY INNINGS

The Missouri Mules kicked the All Stars hard in the Sunday game, both teams making their first appearance of play in the City League.
 The Mules put six runs across in the first inning and five more in the fourth inning. But all of the scoring was not faulty pitching of Hamm because he did not have the support in the infield and nurner- ous errors were registered Hamm stayed in the game until he went to the bench in the first half of the sixth inning after l2 scores had been chalked up. Long then went on the mound.
 Stolen bases were numerous in the games.
 The Mules have a good team, but not as good as the box score shows Kreyling is good heaver and in- cidentally good at the stick. He stayed in the game until the first of the sixth when Stang, south paw, went on the mound.
 The All Stars, in yesterdays game, seem to lack team work and also hitting power. They have mighty good back stop in Mar tin, who knows the game.
 The game went the full nine in- nings,. both sides putting across two runs in the last inning.
 There was some good individual playing and for the All Stars a fast double play was made, catcher to third to second.
 The next game will be played tomorrow night between the Web- feet and Missouri Mules.

"The Chinese rural home, which during the previous thirty or forty years has largely withstood the im- pact of undermining movements, has undergone significant changes as result of the war says Dr. Irma Highbaugh, director of the Methodist Rural Service Center in Kienyang, S1echwan, West China. One of the greatest is economic Others are: new freedom for wo- men which brings new self-respect and a new status; self-activity of the farm family instead of the old passivity; new honesty, and also new vices; education and literacy for the masses instead of for the few; consciousness of being citizens of a great nation and willingness to sacrifice as individuals and as families for larger interests. Every rural community has furnished it's quota of soldiers who leave behind wives with added burdens and children without a fathers care
 Families moving in great masses from occupied areas have changed almost as much as if they had gone to foreign country"

not feel at home in it. White peo- pie generally, expect their buddies in arms and the missionaries, held aloof from them; while their Afri- can relatives had languages un- known to them and the customs also entirely foreign. Our mis- sionaries felt that of all the Aneri- cans in the country these needed most the kindly Christian contacts we could give Some of them said that since coming to Africa they had not felt like singing but at the mission they sang their spir- ituals in the church, the hospital, the leper camp, and in our homes . A number of white officers and soldiers, doctors and nurses, were likewise appreciative. This was par ticularly true of the Jews when they were invited to the home of mis- sionary to spend the evening of the Day of Atonement."

Control Of Certain Pests Vital
To Success of Victory Garden

or They are not active in the day,
but are quite likely to cut off tomato,
cabbage and other plants the first
night after they are transplanted
into the garden. The damage may
continue for some time, so the con-
troll measure must be applied at
once. The plants may be protected
by placing paper cylinder about
them. The paper should be of
quality sufficiently stiff to remain
upright after being wet. 1t should
extend or 5 inches above the soil
and about half this distance into
the soil.
In preparing the garden, it is ad-
vised that constant lookout be
maintained for these worms, which
should be destroyed on sight. There
is a poison bait which may be sue
cessfully used. 1t is made by mixing
l quart of wheat bran and l tea
spoon OF Paris Green well together
while dry, and then making the mix
ture into thick mash with one
fourth an orange finely cut, 3 tea
spoonfuls of molasses and little
water. Roll into pills above the size
Of small grain of corn and place a
few under numerous small boards
placed about the garden. It must
be remembered this is poisonous
mixture and must be kept from ir-
responsible persons and livestock.
Tomato plants and radishes are
likely to be damaged early in the
season by flea beetles. These are
small black beetles and get their
common name from their jumping
habit. A light busting with cryolite
offers protection. Cryolite dust may
be used later for the protection of
the bean plants from the bean bee
tie. There should not be any lime
on the plants before cryolite is ap-
piled. The mixture with lime will
destroy the plants. Mix cryolite with
sulphur or tale. six parts by weight
OF the cryolite to four of the sulphur
or tale. Rotenone dusts are also ef-
fective in the control of flea beetles.
These dusts are available for Vic
tory gardens.
1t is something of fight to grow
a good vegetable garden. It is point
ed out that it will be necessary to
put lot Of personal effort into the
garden if satisfactory results are to
be obtained.

The stamp collectors of the United
States finally have convinced Post
master General Frank c. Walker.
Many months ago, representatives
OF the philatelic public appealed to
President Roosevelt for a series of
adhesive postage labels to dramatic
the issues of the war. The President
referred them to Mr.. Walker. But
the latter proved unsympathetic to
the proposal. His predecessor, James
A. Farley, had incurred criticism for
approving too many new issues. It
was his intention to err. If at all,
on the other side. He let it be known
that he would authorize no stamps
of any sort unless the practical need
for them could be shown.
The stamp collectors, however,
were not discouraged. They en-
listed in their campaign a whole
group of artists, headed by Paul F.
Berdanier of New York, and these
collaborators produced large port
folio Of designs for the considera-
tion Of Mr.. Walker and his asso-
ciates in the Division Of Stamps.
Meanwhile, Harry L. Lindquist,
president of the National Fedora
ton of Stamp Collectors; Philip H.
Ward. jr., of Philadelphia, CORE
spondent for Mekeel's Weekly Stamp
News, and other philatelic leaders
supported the drive.
Hundreds of letters on the subject
reached Mr.. Walker from individ-
uals and groups whose plea was to
make use of stamps for constructive
propaganda purposes.

BY James Waldo Fawcef.

Now, at last, it is announced by
the Post Office Department that:
"A series of II new postage stamps,
commemorating the heroic and con-
tinuing resistance to the Axis pow
ers by the peoples OF the overrun
and occupied countries of Europe,
will be issued at intervals during
the next several months.
THE stamps will be exceptional
in their designs, which will include
reproduction in colors OF the flag
of each of the countries honored.
The Post Office Department on nu-
merous occasions has issued stamps
in two colors, but never in more
than two. Use of colors not only
will permit natural reproduction of
the flags, but also will add to the
attractiveness of the series.
Countries to be honored are
Poland. Czechoslovakia, Norway,
Luxembourg, Netherlands, Belgium,
France, Greece, Yugoslavia, Albania
and Austria. The stamps will all
be of the scent denomination and
the same size as the present special
delivery stamp.
The first of the stamps, honoring
the people of Poland, will be placed
on first-day sale June % at the post
office here, and on general sale at
post offices throughout the country
on the next day, or as soon there
after as supplies can be made avail
able. Dispatch of mail to destina-

cultivated and growing vigorously
for long, strong stems and large
flowers.
Weed control should be started in
earnest. Many of the early spring
weeds, such as chickweed, will soon
be gone. but crabgrass starts into
growth shortly after mid May, and
We will need to keep it under control
from the beginning if We are to
avoid injury to our flowers and veg
etables.
Now that warm weather is here
we should make early preparations
for the start of an insect and disease
control program. Whether We use
dust or spray does not make much
difference. The important thing is
to decide upon one and get ready to
use it. The effective use of insecti-
cides and fungicides depends upon
having them on the surface of the
leaves before the bugs and germs
arrive, Afterward is too late.

Further evidence of the severity
OF last winter upon garden shrubs
is the scarcity of lilac bloom. Per-
sian and Chinese lilacs are practi-
cally foWerless. The common lilac
(Syringa vulgaris) did not suffer ap-
preciably but all others did. The
mimosa trees in the more exposed
situations seem to have been badly
injured if not killed.
