Texas Lass Adopts Role or OutLau

Denton, Tex, Jan. 2. (UP)-Four- ten-year-ol Eva Lee Knoop, who got tired of going to school and decided to be an outlaw" was held for juvenile authorities today after Kidnapping a 2oo-pound taxicab driver.
 Eva Lee. pint-sized brunette weighing 90 pounds, was identified by E. L. Howard as the girl who forced him to drive her from Denton to Madill, Okla, at the point of Q gun.
 The pistol, which Sheriff Harmon Spicer said was the ''littlest" het ever seen, measured approximately three inches, was unloaded and hac a faulty firing mechanism.
 But then, as the red-faced driver explained. you can't always tel about gun when you're looking at the wrong end of it.
 Howard said Eva Lee climbed into the back seat of his cab. made him hand over $4 in change and told him to "get out of Texas" It being big state, he chose the shortest route.
 When they stopped for gas along the way, Eva Lee let him get out to stretch his legs, and it was then that Howard gave the filling station operator the details of his fares activities.
 The attendant, in turn, notified authorities and the cab was stopped at the next town.

pointed out that although Negroes

six times their proportional bur-
den of i'll health and premature
death. "T his disproportionate
burden of sickness and death upon
the Negro race should be remov-
ed" DR.. Parran declared. Every
American, whatever his race and
economic status, should be assur-
ed the opportunity of health"

JOB

Wherever one has a job he
should strive to be as efficient as
possible. He should not try to set
tie political, racial and social
questions when he should be
working. He should, however, join
his fellow workers in their eff
forts for wholesome social and
economic gains at the proper
times.
In all events. the way to keep
a job is to be on the job and
give a full days work for a full
