Such Herculean exploits as strangling a lion capturing

CT with the task of refuting anti-Negro superstitions. Take

Negro heroism are in the files of the War and Navy Depart

But, if you think these facts have scOtched the supersti-
ton you're letting optimism get the best of your senses.
Lnly the other day this writer heard a young white Ieuten-
ait, just back from Italy, tell some friends who had gather

enough SO all the fifty-odd passengers waiting for the New

landed in New York, l sat beside hin in the airport taxi and

But he didn't give a continental for the official record. The

They made Negroes Jockey trucks, did't they? Why did

Pile to pull in their belts and get
along on a smaller and less varied Sc

ident Truman declared that the
threat of starvation overseas was
greater today than at any other
time in history.
While Americans have been con-
Stunning about $500 calories per per-
son, he said, more than 125 million
people in Europe will have to SUBJ
sist on less than 1900 calories a day;
% million will receive less than

groups will get as little as 1000
~calories.
In shaping a nine-point program

lief requirements overseas, the adj
ministration placed emphasis upon
conservation Of dwindling wheat
supplies to assure fulfllment of ex-
port goals Of 225 million bushels.
No less than Is million bushels Of
wheat expected to be saved
during the first half Of 1916 by rails
ing the quantity of -four produced
from a bushel of wheat to 80 per
cent. AS a result, more dark bread
will be made. Another 20 million
bushels of grain are to be conserved
by disseminating the use of wheat
in the direct production of alcohol
and beer and limiting the use of
other grains for beverage alcohol to
five days consumption per month.
At the same time, the depart
ment of agriculture will seek to cut
down on use Of feed grains by m
~couraging the speeding Of market
ing of hogs and beef cattle and Gull
ing Of poultry.
The other provisions of the ad-
ministration's %nine-point program
include the acceleration of rail ship

or Of offending Britain by acknowl-
