WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-A war time shortage of important drugs, which year ago loomed as an alarming handicap in the treat ment of disease, has been eased considerably by increased produc- tion of medicinal plants in this country.
 A quickly-expanded acreage of plants which provide such essen- tial drugs as belladonna, digitalis and henbane has relieved criti- cal supply problem. Helpful also have been synthetics, among these being synthetic camphor and ata- brine, a limited substitute for qui- nine.
 Still pressing, however is our need for quinine, which was inn ported largely from the Neither lands East Indies and is now re- quired in large amounts for our armed forces in tropical and semi tropical regions.

But the little episode of the white carnations and
her continuing love for her departed parent brought
geson to Miss Jarvis, "Wy should wait til these
dear queens OF our homes had laid down their scepers

it was that Mothers Day gradually took form First the

white man, we could do wonders
toward getting rid of the economic

cial chains forged upon us by mis-
informed people
Here is an example, said MIR
Coates, of cooperation in trade
where one dollar will be worth
seven dollars in one week and be in
the hands of the owner to begin the
next weeks work. 1t will be worth
to the race $685. in every year and
be in the hand of some owner to
start the next year Believe it or
not Here we go, suppose / paid
my Negro pastor, $1.00 Sunday. He
paid Negro grocer $1.00 Monday.
The grocer paid the Negro doctor
$100 Tuesday. The Negro doctor
pays Negro lawyer $100 Wednes-
day. The --ewro lawyer pays Ne
gro Insurance Agent $1.00 Thursday
The Negro Insurance Agent, pays a
Negro gasoline dealer S1.00 Friday
and he pays me an oil bill Satur-
day and on Sunday I pay my pas
tor $1.00-thus you can see how the
same dollar can be spent seven
times in Negro business and re-
turned to the same preacher who
in turn starts the chain again. One
dollar therefore, circulated in the
race means 1856 a year to Negroes
and the same Negro will have the
same dollar to start the next year

without break in the chain would
support the entire Negro population

more years to learn this plain fact

by Mr.. Coates and in reading, learn
to make a practical application of
them beginning today.

THE SOUTH HAS THE BEST
ENVIRONMENTS FOR NEGROES
By A. w. HIGH

Every day I am asked to express
my opinion as to which section of
America offers the Negro the best
environments. I have been in con-
versation with many men and wo-
men in all walks Of life. find these
people differing in their thinking,
all citizens have this right to think
as they desire, so since this is cor
rect, don't unjustly criticize me for
my thinking.
Knowing the South as l do I am
forced to prosecute my attitude in
informing those who always try to
belittle the South by using unethi-
cal morals to mislead the lower ele-
ments in both of our groups. Let us
consider the conditions here in the
South. The Negro owns his homes,
his businesses has his own conven-
fences to do with as he pleases.
Here in the South, we do not have
half as many slum districts as are
found in other sections. And having
travelled extensively over the entire
country, I am quite able to testify
as to the really poor conditions and
environments for our roup found
in the East, North and West. This
does not mean that we in the South
have all the comforts of life, but
for a majority, our environments
in the South are better than those
in other places.
We need to improve our environ
ments generally and daily, but il
some Of us would visit some of the
northern and eastern states and see
the environments in which the
Negro lives, you would certainly
have an opportunity to tell those
politicians and agitators to better
their own environments; to elevate
their own Negroes before attempt
ing to do this for people of our
section.

These agitators are hurting the
progress of our group in the South.
With all its great environments the
South still has much room to build
in the minds of its men and women
to cultivate what we have and not
econurage groups in other sections
of this country to prey on the poe
kets of Mr. Taxpayer to build big
industrial enterprises for them to
reap big profits at our expense.
With the many blessings that fall
on us here in the South some of us
still have the idea that we can i'm
prove our conditions by loafing a.
round and doing nothing but critiz-
ing the little man who is trying to
do what he thinks is right.
