the capacity for sane reasoning.
They have heard that sunshine is
good for the health. There is also
a fad for getting ones self tanned.
And so at the first opportunity they
proceed to expose as much of their
bodies as possible to the blistering
rays of Old Soil.
To their dismay the skin turns
very red and unless they are ex-
tremely fortunate they are in for
a very miserable time. Fever often
develops and nausea and vomiting
come en-. The skin may pop out
in a mass of blisters which are not
easy to heal.
The writer was once called to
see patient who had spent the
day before at the beach. She had
remained in the water for two
hours during the hottest part Of a
July day. and then lain in the sun
in a backless bathing suit for per-
haps an hour.
The poor creature was piteous to
behold. Her whole back and arms
were covered with blisters of va
rious sizes and shapes. Some were
as large as the palm of the hand
Her sufferings were acute. The
proper remedies were applied and
she recovered from her sun spree,
sadder but wiser girl. Instead
OF acquiring the tan which she
coveted, she resembled boiled lob
ster for some time to come.
! Frequent and prolonged expo
sures to the rays of the sun dry
out the natural oils of the skin,
produce freckles and pigmented
spots which are a blemish to beau
ty. Too much exposure to sun
shine permanently coarsens and
roughens the skin.
There is a skin disease known as
psoriasis, which improves in sum-
mer due to the beneficial effects of
the actinic ray of the sun. Acne, a
very disagreeable skin condition
which manifests itself by a success
sion of pimples the face, chest or
the back of adolescent' young men
! and women is helped by sunshine.
The outdoors is generally con-
ducive to health, for fresh air and
a certain amount of exposure to
sunshine promote the general we'll
being of the body. Vitamins are
more readily absorbed in sunny
climate than in one that is foggy
and murky.
If you examine the skin of a
negro under the microscope, you
will observe a thick layer of black
pigment in the true skin. This was
put there by a wise Creator to pro-
tect the inner delicate tissues
against the destructive rays Of the
African sun.
In the South, where the negro
children live much in the sunshine.
they flourish if fed on plain whole
some food. In the North it is
necessary to give negro children,
especially in Che cities, cod liver oil
to prevent ricketts,. The white child
suffers less from insufficient sun
shine because he lacks the pigments
possessed by the negro which pre-
vents the small amount of the
Northern wintry sunshine from be-
ing absorbed into his system.
Like all good gifts from God,
sunshine is blessing; wrongly used
it is harmful.

Nisei Vet Fights Oregon Land Law

PORTLAND Greg. Aug. Initial test
of the constitutionaity of Oregon's Alien Land
law, which prohibits aliens of Japanese ances-
try from the ownership of agricultural proper
ty, will begin before Judge Crawford in Multi
nomah County circuit court on Tuesday, Aug. 5.
Judge Crawford will hear the suit filed
by Kenji Namba, %, veteran of the 442nd
combat team in Italy, and his father, Etsuo
Namba, 80, native of Japan.
The Nambas seek to lease 62-acre farm
near Gresham and the suit asks judgment
declaring the law unconstitutional.
John McCourt, Mutnomah County dis
trict attorney, and George Neumer, attorney
general of Oregon, have been named as the de-
fendents.
The suit alleges that sections of the Oregon
Alien Land law, passed in 1923, are discrimina-
tory in that they deprive alien japanese of the
right to hold interest in land while aliens eli
gible to citizenship and that the complaint
states that this section declares it to be crime
to enter into contract made in the name of
wife or child of an alien ineligible to citizen
ship
The plaintiffs asks declaratory judgment
ruling the 1923 law of the 1915 amendment in
contravention to the 14th amendment.
The Nambas are represented by Verne Du-
scnberry and Allen Hart, Portland attorneys.

paper about a comic strip called
1.-THE Spirit which appears in
the Chicago Sun. l do not think
the Sun any more liberal"
than does Mr.. V.D.L. but on
the subject of racial discrimin-

ought to be cleared up.
Briefly, what / object to is
Mr.. Won der Lancken's attack
inng a rather superior comic
strip, considering the art work
and intelligent presentation, on
what seems to me to be a some
what fanatica1 basis. What he
resents is the idea of carica-
ture in connection with a Ne
gro. We must ask ourselves at
once whether Mr.. Won der
Lancken woulud resent also a
caricature of persons not Ne
groes. If he does not resent,
ipso facto, all caricature -
then Mr.. Won der Lancken is
guilty of racial discrimination
of type of which all intelli-
gent Negroes disapprove them
selves. This same comic strip
has repeatedly caricatured all
types of individuals, from the
police inspector down to the
jitterbug, and unless Mr.. Won
der Lancken also objects TO
this I will not go along with
him.
I am aware that Mr.. Won der
Lancken's heart is probably in
the right place, but my expert

groes do not make healthy
progress as result of Negro
