We've changed our ps and as
lot since the day when the Roman
nobility sat around tables COW
cred with purple and gold striped
linen and used table napkins solely
to carry food home after day.
long feast. The ancient Romans
would be very much impressed with
and maybe little disappearing of
the lovely tablecloths, place mats
and napkins that almost any,
body can own today. For after all,
that marvellous Roman civilization
of theirs was fine for few at the
top but it was built on slavery.
Today, not many workers are
engaged in making precious rari-
ties for the few fabulously rich fami-
lies. Instead many workers espe-
cially in peacetime spend their skill
and time on pretty table coverings
for everybody, and many work on
entirely new fibers that make life
simpler for us all.
For formal table coverings, new
and cleaning types of damasks are
made of rayon-and-cotton blends.

Influence of War Shows in Table
Coverings, Place Mats, Laundering
By elizabeth MacRAE BOYKIN

And there's an unusual new fabric
for tablecloths made of rayon and
cotton and wool! Spun rayons COM
bined with cottons also are used for
lace cloths that have a lustrous ex-
citing quality. Some of these lace
designs are copied or adapted from
rare old laees, such as a 18th cen
fury banquet cloth, symbolic altar
cloth, an old wedding veil.
The war has had it's influence even
on tablecloth styles the main
point these days being the easy-to-
care-for angle. And so place mats
are gaining all the time in popular
favor. Now they represent z per
cent of all table cover sales, as con-
trasted with 5 per cent before the
war.
Rayon-and-c tablecloths are
easy to launder. First, of course,
the colors should be fast. Then they
can be washed by hand or by ma
chine if you use mild soap suds and
lukeWarm water.

Underwater Exercise Is
Aid to Injured Soldiers

JOHANNESBURG, S. A. - Under
water bicycles, wall bars and ira
pezes are being used in a SUBJ
merged gymnasium for paralysis pa
tents at the Cottesloe military
hospital.
One patient who suffered back
injury at Ell Alamein and others SUI
fering from poliomyelitis have been
treated with the underwater exer-
else devices with good results, ac-
cording to the superintendent.
An underwater boat allows for
observation of the patients without
distortion
The patient injured at Ell Alamein,
the bath superintendent said, is
now able to walk some 80 yards.
When he arrived at the hospital for
treatment in the baths last October
he was unable to walk at all. He can
walk along the path, dive into the
pool and swim about 100 yards. 9th
err patients show similar improve
ment.
After some mild exercises with the
aid of floats, patients are often able
to exercise on the bicycle or the
trapeze suspended from the diving
board.

PRIVATE PURKEY AT
SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANClSCO
Dear Ed: Well l am out here at
the San Francisco world huddle on
what is the Best Way for World
to Stop Cutting It's Own Throat"
and all can say is that if the boys
don't get together on it this time
they are crazier than was even sus-
pected.
I got one piece of advice for them
which took from piece of sheet
music. It is "Accentuate the posi-
tive, minermize the negative and
don't mess with Mister n-Between.
That should be the slogan here from
start to finish.
A lot of people has got the idea
this is peace conference, which is
gooney on account of you can't
hold no peace conference until
war is over and the only people who
think this global shindig is over are
the ones who are too busy in dark
cellars raising mushrooms at home
to know what goes ON outdoors.
This is just conference to keep the
fire from breaking out all over again
once it gets put out.
It is suffering from overcrowd-
ing, bad ventilation, mutual suspi
cions, long speeches and difficulty
getting pants back from the suit
pressers on time. There is more
jealousies than you would find at a
party thrown for frankie Sinatra by
a bunch of bobby-sockers, and there
have even been a couple of good
fights in the halls and out behind
the garage. But everybody here
knows just the same that they all
got to get together on an antisuicide
pact or spend the rest of their lives
trying to outguess jet bombs.
Don't worry too much about the
Polish situation. This is a tough one
and it is too bad. But it can wait.
Letting it stynie this meeting is
just the same as if lot of neigh
bors outside a burning village held
a emergency meeting to make plans
for bigger hydrants, but decided to
have a argument first over whether
one of the fremen fell off a ladder
or was pushed.
The one need of the world after
this war is going to be a League
of Nations with CUTS instead of UNI
brellas. And it has got to have a
headquarters without no golf links
attached.
So I don't think the pussyfooters,
rubber backbone boys, fixers and
fancy walters is going to get no.
where at this meeting, even if I
admit some of 'em is getting lot of
headlines.
This is a pretty screwy world but
7 still think it is not 100 per cent
nuts yet.

The library wants to collect and

The library wants to collect and
preserve for history the letters
that have been written by Negroes
in the armed forces to their wives,
sweethearts, brothers, sisters and
friends. For these letters tell elo-
quently what the men have expe-
rienced in camps and on the fight
ing fronts, what they have seen and
how they have felt, how they have
been treated and how they have
treated others. For a true history
of the Negro in this war to be writ
ten thousands of these letters are
needed. The name of either the
writer or the person who received
the letter will not be made public
without permission.
Here is way that we can all help
to make a contribution to the build
ing of the history and culture of our
people. Make yourself a committee
of one to collect all of the letters
that you have and tell others about
it. Make this announcement in your
organizations and churches. Tell
them not to throw their war letters
away but send them to L. D. Red

WAR LETTERS WANTED

Now that the war is over and the
boys will be coming home, it seems
that there won't be so much of
stress on writing letters. Some peo-
pie will be throwing away the many
letters they have amassed over a
period of time. For goodness sakes,
don't do that Your letters that you
have received from your CT can be
of definite service to the Negro peo-
pie.
You see, the Schomburg Collec-
tion of Negro literature of the New
York Public library is making
nationwide appeal for letters from
Negro servicemen and women that
have been written to their friends
in this country. This library is
depository of the historical records
of the Negro from all parts of the
world. In addition to the thousands
of books and prints the Schomburg
collection contains hundreds of let
ters of Frederick Douglas, Paul
Lawrence Dunbar, Booker T. Wash
ington and Negro soldiers and sail
ors who have fought in past wars.

Education implies teaching.
Teaching implies knowledge
Know. edge Is truth. The truth IS

This country has suddenly be-
come conscious OF the function OF
pure science because OF the sensa-
tional use OF the atomic bomb in
the war against Japan. The primer
pal work on that bomb was done
by scientists in university, labora-
tories In search OF universal truth.
They did not labor to produce a
bomb In kill people: thew labored
TO learn the nature OF the atom.
DR.. Irving Langmuir stated the
case fully to a committee OF Con-
gress when he said:
"a. The unhampered. free search
for tpith which was permitted IN
universities provided the favor
able conditions under which such
fundamental research progressed.
Without such a foundation no plan

atomic bomb into existence. -"
Had anyone set out to produce
such a bomb. he probably could
never have done 1t. Yet. Albert

foundation for the researches which
ultimately produced the bomb. Nor
