son, according to the constitution,
had no right to present the views of
NINA in Washington nor to speak
for it. The statement further de-
clared that the shortage of medical
personnel was no fault Of the medi-
cal profession.
The statement further urged that
the National Medical association,
which of course is composed of Ne
gro doctors, line up with American
Medical association, which is almost
totally white and which together
with other conservative sections of
organized medicine opposes the
Wagner bill and socialized medicine.
A number of Chicago physicians
have said they did not approve the
statement and that it did not repre-
sent the real sentiment of the ma
jority Of physicians in Chicago.
These physicians said that the old
attempt to curry favor with the
ANA was no longer a policy of
NINA, and that the Negro physi-
clans took seriously their obligation
to the masses Of the people.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 27 (ANP)
The first lively exchange of opin-

The strong Cook County Medical

resolution flatly opposing the
Wagner bill, which some say will
lead to socialized medicine The as

took last April when he appeared

care to the many areas which are
now under serviced. He pointed out
that the health needs of the Negro

NARY CHURCH TERRELL
RECALLS FRIENDSHIP
WITH H. 8. wells

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 27
(ANP)-The recent death of H. G..
Wells, English novelist, historian,
prophet of World Wars | and II,
and of things to come, had special
significance to Mrs. Mary Church
Terrell, Negro publicist and club
woman.
In 1919, after attending the In
ternational Congress of women at
the Hague as delegate, Mrs. Ter
rell made the first of several visits
to the home of home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wells in England. According to
Mrs. Terrell, she found Mr.. Wells
"as fine an example of perpetual
motions as one could meet in day
march,"
1t was on this first visit that Mr.
Wells encouraged her to write the
story of her life. This she did final
ly, publishing her autobiography ir

White World" H. G. Wells wrote
the preface.
The essential value of the book,
he wrote, lies in the revelation of
the writer's character and in her
reaction to the changing social or
der in which she has lived.
Mr.. Wells did not acknowledge
racial conflict as such, but saw it as
human conflict. He felt that "the
desire to extort some admission of
our own superiority over other peo-
pie seems to be ineradicable in the
human family" The inferior" he
wrote, made of the same flesh and
blood as his superior" would get it
all back some day by sabotage, by
derision, by turning his humiliation
on to his interiors.
The novelist agreed with Mrs.
Terrell that color antagonism is in
creasing in a declining America,
and explained it as "a steady deteri-
oration in the general moral and in
tellectual quality parallel with the
contemporary moral and mental
collapse Of Europe"

Rural Areas Don't Match
Health Record of Cities

LINCOLN, NEB. - Those who
live in rural areas are less healthy
than city residents because of the
lack of physicians, dentists, public
health facilities and hospitals, ac-
cording to the health committee of
the Northern Great Plains council.
The committee met at the Univer-
sity of Nebraska to determine
what medical facilities are lacking
in rural areas of the Great Plains
and what action should be recon-
mended to remedy the situation.
Several counties in the area have
neither doctors nor dentists, and
ailments which could respond quick
ly to treatment became major
calamities, the committee reported.
For majority of farm homes in
the region, hospitals of so beds are
more than 100 miles distant.
One physician must serve sever
al localities, and a large number of
small towns have no milk or water
inspections, it was said in sum-
ming up of the rural disadvantages.
Medical and lay experts attend
ing the conference proposed
"health clinics" as one possible
remedy for the poor rural health.
Such community clinics provide
emergency medical attention, take
care of obstetrical and simple sur
gical cases and offer x-ray examina-
tons.

Magic Explained
By NerU Pied Piper

Then Better Music.

NEW YORK.-Efrem Kurtz, the
Pied Piper of Kansas City, I'M
tangled his long legs from around
his French poodle and explained the
magic necessary to produce a ma
jor philharmonic orchestra out
where the tall corn grows.
First you must give the people
a little "corn," Kurtz admitted, and
then you slip in the better music.
Kurtz, who has conducted the
Kansas City orchestra for the last
three years, knows what he's talk
ing about, because when he took
it over the Kaycee Philharmonic
audience was virtually nil This
past season, which began in Octo-
Der, he had to turn away hundreds
from the "Pop" concerts because
of lack of seats.

The tall, cheerful, Russian-born
conductor believes inland America
is due for a great increase in ma

''In Kansas City we are going
ahead fast" he said. lone of my
former assistants, Anton Dorati, has
started a fine orchestra in Dallas,

He believes most experts sell the
average American short as a music
lover.
"Give him something he knows,
and then mix it with something he
should know, and he is most appre-
ciative," Kurtz said.
Kurtz said that he, himself, was
quite entranced with much popular
music and that he even liked
boogie-woogie.

Quiz For MdrYlonders
Answer to Question 1:

HhSWCT ~ SeSoSiOit IL
1t would seem that in the old
free State of Maryland horse
racing was not only a tradition,
but by all odds Maryland's most
popular sport. 7 out of every 10
Marylanders have attended rae
ing. The average racing fan in
Maryland is between thirty and
forty with an upper middle class
income, family and church
member. They go to the races on
an average of one to two times
year.
Answer to Question 2:
For one thing, both are or should
be interested in the promotion of
good breeding farms in Maryland
and the fostering of the highest
possible class of horse racing in
America. Horse breeding farms
conserve Maryland land, take
land out of competition with COM
mercial farmers, provide jobs for
workers, make a market for
farm produce and add to the
prosperity of the State. High
class horse racing assures tax
money for Maryland and makes
it possible for Maryland to hold
its own against the twenty other
states that have horse racing.

An informal tea party was held
Friday afternoon in honor of the
overseas brides who have arrived
from Australia, England and France
in the last few months, by the Ha-
gerstown Chapter of the American
Red Cross. Ten brides, of the TWEEN
ty-two who have already arrived in
the community, attended the party.
One of the guests, Mrs. Gloyd Ped
dicord, arrived May Is from Amble-
side, England, and now resides with
her husband at 805 Dewey Avenue.
"On March T." Mrs. Peddicord told
our reporter, Il was sent to the camp
where wives are registered to join
their husbands overseas, and there
was told what ship was to sail on.
We sailed on the John Emerson, May
4, and made the trip in nine days
Not much of anything happened
coming over, but we had very nice
trip.
Il like America very well, but I'm
sure I'll like it more when l get used
l find that life isn't too different
here, only things are more plentiful.
/ haven't gotten homesick yet, and 1
don't expect to, for everyone treats
me so nicely.
Mrs Richard TroVinger, a London,
England, bride, arrived in the States
March 10, on the Queen Mary.
Il like this country very much"
Mrs. Trovinger said, "but l can't get
used to the roads What I like most
about America is that you don't need
coupons for everything you buy. In
England everything in the stores
costs so many coupons and since we
were allotted only "a coupons a
month, we went without a lot of
things we needed. There were plenty
of clothes in the stores, but we just
couldn't afford them in the way of
coupons. A coat cost 10 coupons;
hose, 2; shoes, Z, but they have gone
up to 9 now; a blouse, 6; a suit, ID
or 10, according to the material;
dress,7, and if it was wooden it cost
II coupons"
Mrs. Robert F. Bonner, from Sgd
ney, Australia, says: 1--WE had a
rather rough time coming over, but
l, for one, had a very nice trip, al

though l got very sea sick. We ran
into a storm after leaving Sydney
and were driven 200 miles off our
course. The night before we landed
at Honolulu, we were hit by the tail
end of a tidal wave and when it
struck one woman was thrown from
her bed. 1t was rough going from
then on"
According to Mrs. Bonner, one
way to lose weight is to take long
trip on big ship. Mrs. Bonner likes
the United States very much and,
like practically all overseas brides,
she can't get accustomed to the roads
and the great supply of articles in
the stores here. Speaking for her
small son, Barry, who was interested
in the candy on his plate at the time,
Mrs. Bonner said, "He loves America
and is crazy over chewing gum. He
chews it night and day"
American driving habits h-av e
caused one overseas war bride to
feel that confinement to barracks"
is the safest procedure to anyone
who is looking forward to ripe old
age. Mrs. William E. Palmer, for
merly of Melbourne, Australia, who
had not been instructed in our red
and green light system, plunged
into traffic on a red light and had a
head-on collision with the side of a
scurrying taxi Not seriously in
jured, Mrs. Palmer, nonetheless, has
a bad case of traffic tremors.
In addition to Mrs. Peddicord,
Mrs. Trovinger, Mrs. Bonner, Mrs.
Palmer and daughter Carol, war
bride guests included Mrs. William
Light, Brisbane, Australia; Mrs.
Franklin Wayand, Mrs. William
Sayles, Mrs. William Senior and
Mrs. Bernard Cline and daughter
Margaret, all from England; and
Mrs. Claude Deeds, France.
Those in the receiving line were:
Mrs. j. C. Fulde, chairman of the
Red Cross Chapter in Hagerstown,
and Miss Ethel M. Sprinkle, home
service secretary.
Refreshments were prepared and
served by Mrs. James Cannen, as
sisted by Mrs. Leo Hines, Mrs. Rich
ard Whitelegg and Mrs. Elmer Funk
members of the canteen.

AN ARROGANT FEW


of the storm warnings they have
received of late? 1t is doubtful! Bust
ness ''Tycoons'' of a decade ago re-
fused to do so - and they were
smarter men than most of the power
crazed masters of labor who have
done so much in the past year to
destroy the prestige of this nation,
to deeply injure its people, to threat
en- the system which has made us
the only prosperous nation extant,
to make the labor unions almost
hated, and to cause such terrible
additional suffering in Europe.
Right here it should be said
that labor leader, and a labor
union, are two distinct entities
A labor union is an organization
created for the worthy purpose
of protecting its members from
exploitation, and to uphold and
advance their rightfuI interests.
There is nothing new about the
practice-it is centuries old and
much desired. A labor union
leader SHOULD BE what the
name implies. He SHOULD BE
elected to that position upon his
merit - and by SECRET ballot.
When he proposes a strike to
a general meeting of his union,
the ballOting SHOULD BE
secret, so that dissenters could
express their attitude without
fear of reprisals.
Because of the undemocratic
structure of many unions, their lead
erS have been able to usurp the
power inherent in the members.
Some have become dictators, and
have so completely carried away by
this unaccustomed sovereignty that
they have fiouted the wishes of
their union members and appear to
have utterly disregarded the well
fare of this nation and its people.
The arrogant, stupid and proftless
stewardship of a few men - in just
one single year - has caused more
havoc in this country, and in the
whole world, than any other compar-
able sabotage in history. The dread
full repercussions will be with us
for long time to come.
The people and this in
cludeS the best elements in the
labor unions - are at last arOus-
ed, and only certain elements in
government have prevented
drastic and effective action being
taken in the public's interest.
The voters will know which of
these SO-called servants of the
public" have had THEIR inter-
ests at heart; and those who have
not will be taken care of in No
vember of this year, and in 1913
If we know which side our
bread is buttered on. But will
the power made labor leaders
heed - in time - the warnings
to the unions whose interests
they are supposed to represent?
And if not, will the unions check
them before it is too late?
