THE CRYSTAL BIRD

White storm swinging forever
Out of the west
Crying: clean, clean.
Seeing the shining
On a lavender mountain
The laurel grew on it,
Crying: clean, clean.
Icy sweet the crystal bird
With turquoise eyes of brilliance,
From his opal throat singing:
| am clean, clean
Theirs was stark, inviolate beauty;
Theirs was the impersonal power Of the wind
Flooding through winter nights.
Theirs was the infinite spaces;
The bright arched air
Was theirs; nothing clumsily in motion
Belonged to them.
In their austere pride of cleanliness
They remained apart

Plaintively out over the desert to where
Nothing else ever has been,
And the sands cry out: clean, clean.
Following the course of steel north river
To the great gateway to the great ocean,
Crying: clean, clean.
The smoke came out of the grime-hpped Gimme
And blew away, darkness fell;
Stars strobe into the sky.
Stars of fire came walking upright like me
But the people did not notice the stars
Looking at them.
Yet icy-sweet the crystal bird
With terrible eyes of brilliance,
Consumed with Joy,
From his opal throat singing:
! am clean, clean.

Great are the joys and priv

dent. Yet none, l am sure, would
wish to remain one forever. There
are other heights to climb, other
prizes to capture in the great
games of life, other work toward
which we feel the overwhelming
desires to press.
Perhaps one has done great
things in the past, led the class
in scholarship, written the prize
paper, carried off the ribbon for
track, or led his class in mathe-
MATES. One has been looked up
to by his classmates. Unless one
carefully guards himself he will
pride himself upon past achieve
ments, wear his honors daily, in
season and out of season, that
they may be seen by men. But
forget all those things. What
one has done should be relegated
to the past, for each of us hope
to do still greater deeds in the
future. "You can not turn the

pansion for a minority race of
strong vitality, are provided only
through the forfeiture OF excess
sive powers by the majority race.
The fastening of their forfeitures
should be the Negroes first incen-
tive; it can be fastened by organ
ization. This shows the inevitable
struggle between the two races in
the South. Whether that strug-
gle will end fairly for all de-
ponds wholly upon the white man
obeying the constitution. One
thing is certain: Negroes are de-
termined, as never before, to
share equally in all the benefits
of the country, or perish in the
attempt.
The majority of Negroes con-
slider the old traditional mock
subserviency toward white people
Is no longer needed. The white
man has lost his prestige and
cannot hope to regain it without
the Negroes help. The time has
come, therefore, to admit Negro
elements to world rule. Negroes
are prepared to relieve the white
man of his burden as regards
themselvs.
TIL mightiest Pan-African ideas
of all times are attacking the
continued dominance of white
people over Negroes. The gigan-
tic task of Afro-America embraces
all of the southern U. S. A, Cen
trail and South America, the West
Indies, and all Africa. Negroes
are not faced with a mere set
of petty tasks such as lynehing
and discrimination, but rather
with a new adjustment of life.
Self-determination for Negroes
will be a partnership, in which
they will help fight the white
mans battles, but they will take
over the Negroes own part in the
actual conduct of all internation-
al affairs.
Negro autonomy in all areas of
the world where there are large
Negro populations will shake off
not only the political, but the
economic dominance of the white
race. Self-determination for Ne
groes is a potent means of pre-
venting future expressions, and
as such, it is now on the march
as truth in a world gone mad.

FAY ARTHUR IS
INJURED BY HIT
AND-RUN DRIVER

Fay Arthur, Is years old, of
224 Gath Ave. No, was injured
by a hit-and-run auto at 23r |
and East OHM st. May 20, Sa :
urday. The results are frac-
tured leg and wrist. Mr.. James
Smith of 1854 23rd, a witness,
says she was standing near the
curb when the car sweryed up
on the curb and knocked her
three feet into the air and she
landed hitting the telephone pole.
The car was a make either dark
blue or black. The first two Ii
cense numbers were 70.
While in the hospital she was
joy to all the patients. She
received so many guests many
were turned away.
This poem was written about
her by one of her newly won
friends, Mrs. Blanch Sillman, who
has been there for over two
months:
MISS FAY
A young little girl named Fay
Came into our ward one day,
Sc wasn't very big
And she wasn't very tall,
But from a big old car
She got an awful fall.
As she stepped down off the side
walk
She just barely looked around
Befor a care doomed up
And knocked her to the ground.
They brought her to the hospital,
Put her to bed out in the hall,
For fear she'd wake the patients
If she'd let out a hawl
She broke her leg
And cracked her wrist,
So they put them in a cast
1 guess now, for a while.
Miss Fay won't run so fast.
She'll be home in her bed
And have the gang all in;
Big Mamma'll be worn out
Aletting them all in.
Now. Fay, when you get home,
Just don't get too darn frisky
Cause walking on your leg too
soon
viii be sort of risky.
So take it easy, baby,
And if it hurts, just don't yell,
And before you realize it,
You'll really be all well.
