While the Negro has offered to
sacrifice his life to serve as a spy
for his country, he boasts of an
unbroken chain of loyalty, extend

War I, out of the millions who
would have coveted the honor of

of Woodrow Wilson, Col. Startling,

From The State
Health Officer

Nearly half million children
in this country have been affected
by rheumatic fever. The greatest
danger resulting from rheumatic fe
yer is the damage which can oc-
cur to the heart Children who
have rheumatic heart disease are
frequently treated as cripples. In
fact, they have been referred to
as 'scripples who do not limp"
However, in cases where the heart
is not severely damaged the child
should be permitted a normal range
Of activities if the doctor so ad-
vises The child needs to have plen-
ty of sleep and rest and good nour-
ishing food. He should be protect
ed against wet weather and damp
ness and, as far as possible, from
contact with those suffering from
respiratory Infection or sore
Threats.
Unfortunately the cause of rheu-
matte fever is unknown, although
investigators are busy at work on
it and point out that some role may
be played by the streptococcus
germ. The disease often tends to
run in families, showing that there
may be an inherited susceptibility.
The early symptoms are usually
slight fever, nose bleeds, poor ap-
petite, weight loss, rapid heart ac-
ton, and pain and swelling in the
joints of the knees, feet, ankles, eli
bows or wrists.

enlistment of 100000 Negroes. Cen

up an organization in Virginia to
enlist both slave and free Negroes.
The Union policy vacillated on
enlisting Negroes The action of

War. They erved with distinction
at Island Mounds, Mo-, Fort Hud-

the disease early. However, it is
wise to consult a physician if
there is the slightest suspicion of
rheumatic infection. Usually the
onset is gradual and its first evil
dence may be no more than ex-
IRENE irritability and emotional
upsets.
Ever though there is at present
no specific cure or preventive for
this affliction, it is believed that
better understanding of the early
symptoms and quick and accurate
diagnosis under medical supervi-

vent much of the damage that
comes from delayed treatment.

sian. Stain understands little
English. But both. when they
lay down the American and
Soviet points of view, speak
bluntly, sincerely and to the
point.
They are the antithesis of
Churchill and Roosevelt.
Churchill. the master Of ora
torical English. has his say in
polished phrases for which he is
famous.
The late President, with his
GrOtOn and Harvard back
ground, likewise liked 10 in
Gulge in long drawn-Out per-
oratiOns and disliked making
quick, hard and fast decisions.
Churchill AT times seems
worried about the outcome OF
the British general elections.
Sometimes, in the three-hOur
carly evening sessions, the
bluntneSs of the language used
by the President and Stain
startle the listening staff Of 40.
But they get the business
done speedily.
Mr. TRUMAN handles his
vi chairmanShip with Wit and
humor that quickly disSolves
tension when il arises.
This frequently brings a twin
kle into Stains brown eyes.
Mr.. Truman comes from
Missouri with basic Mid
western farm background.
Stain comes from prOyin-
ciAl, mountainous Georgia.
Neither has any use for red
tape and the tiresome long
wiBded speech Of diplnmAcX
The contrast between these
two blunt-spoken men and the
British prime minister is so
great that Stain frequently
uses the President as means
OF a little mild leg-pulling.
When al one point, Churchill
seeks 10 have the language Of

the life of Dorothy Parker is moi
going to be attached to the movie
if Columbia Pictures can prevent
it. The assumption was somewhat
general in the pieces years as q

many persons professed to see in
Miss Gordon's heroine, a waspishly
wise woman, a resemblance to Miss
Parker whose husband, Allan
Campell, was an older sort Of man
