w the Women
BY RUTH

A New York hat designer has
created a special board of judges
to pass on the headgear he de.
signs for women to wear. The
board is made up of husbands. Il
they boot at a hat, it isn't manu-
factured-and a lot of other hus-
bands are indirectly benefited.
Now there's a real step forward
in feminine fashions. Had a board
of judges made up of husbands
viewed all the fashions Of the past
few years, probably a lot OF them
would never have reached Main
Street.
And Main Street would have
looked better for not having been
cluttered up with pretty girls look
ing grotesque in blue jeans, wom-
en- who sack their lovely hair in
snoods. And husbands might have
labeled a lot Of costume jewelry
as pure "junk."
And that unbecoming cross be-
tween Stacks and shorts-the ped
al pusher-wou.d probably never
have come out of the nightmare
world to see the light of day.
Women would never have been
tempted to twist their hair into
variations of jungle hairdoes, if
men had been allowed to veto the
up-swept hair style before it swept
the country.
So long as men don't get a gan
der at a new fashion until their
wives and daughters have already
bought it, their boots don't carry
much weight.
Their only chance is to get a
look at them before the women
are told, "This is the very latest
style"

before he got out, by folks from
the Goald Coast. No matter how
many negroes were killed, wounded
cut up Fannin Road kept going
it noisy, gay, colorful and sofe-
time violent way.
What happened to the Fannin
Road is this. Sometime ago on
the Gold Coast which is the white
section, a white salesman MEM
Der of adrominent Louisiana fam
ily was robbed and killed land so
far nobody has been arrested for
the crime.
Following this incident which
came Immediately after others
that had brought more public con-
Germ with the Gold Coast than
ever before, the Governo rordered
a clean up and sent the National
Guard under Col. Birdsong to do
the cleaning. This has been done
before but never was F'annin Road
much bothered. But this time the
Fannin Road is getting as much
attention as the Gold Coast and
its looks for sure that its gay
nd colorful era is gone - If not
forever for long time to COME.

AIcorn College
Establishes
Forestry Dept.

Alcorn A & M. College, Alcorn,
Mississippi, August q = Accord
ing to President w. H. Pipes, Al
corn College has the added dis
tinction (she was the first Land
Grant College for Negroes in the
United States) of establishing the
first Forestry Department in Neg
TO College.
Several years ago a Depart
ment of Forestry was added to the
Alcorn College Curriculum. Re-
gular college credits were offer
ed those taking the course. I'm
fortunately the young men were
being called into the armed SER
vices so rapidly that the course
had to be abandoned for the dur
alton.
The course has now been re-
activated. I'm 1916 the first man
aged cutting of timber was made,
and the college was able to Sc
cure about 10000 board feet OF
much needed lumber. In this man
aged cutting desirable seed trees
were left for reseeding and t
insure future lumber needs of the
college.
In January ,1947, j. D. Boyd
was employed as instructor of
Agronomy and Forestry. He was
also given the responsibility OF
managing the college farm and
forest lands. AS far as we are
able to find the facts, this makes
Alcorn College the first Negro
College in America to offer a
course in orestry with college Gre
dts.
In cooperation with the Fores'
try staff of Mississippi State Col
lege Their has been worked out
very fine forestry program OF
work. The department is being
fully equipped with all necessary
implements for teaching fire con-
troll, timber estimation, reforestr-
alton, timber outing, and wood
uses. The college has about 4OO
acres for practice plots for class
es enrolled in forestry.

Elks Return Funds As Police Chief
Warns Of Lottery Law Of Mississippi
Winner Was To Get Free Trip
To Brook|n : Chicago Baseball Game
By James Rundles

Jackson, Miss Committee
members OF the L. K. Atwood
Lodge today beared plans for re-
turning special funds solicited
during an Annual Charity Fund
Drive. The drive, being conducted
on statewide basis with it's goal
the massing of substantial sums to
be contributed to The Local Chap
terof The Red Cross Community
Chest and other worthwhile or
CARNATIONS, was nearing complet-
ion when the members of the COM
mittee decided to rule it out.
Growing interest was focused
on the rally because the prizes
to be awarded citizens aiding the
campaign were to have included
five free trips. to Chicago with
choice seats to the Brooklyn-Chic-
agi two games series being played
in the latter city Sept, 9th and
10th. Jackie Robinson, famous
Negro first baseman for the bod
gers is to appear in the game.
Along with this, Chicago bound
hopefuls were wagering that Dan
Bankhead, First Negro major Lea
que hurler, would also appear on
the mound for the Buns.
1t is believed that a recent state
ment released to a local daily pap
per by police chief J. d. Holden,
warning against any form of lot
teries being conducted in the city,
prompted the action of the commit
tee. Chief Holden pointed out that
while the purposes behind the
drawings may at times be worthy,
state and city laws definitely pro-
hibit them.
In commenting on the rally Vic
tor Jones acting as spokesman
for the committee stated that
more than 800 tickets had been
sold in connection with the drive
previously scheduled to end in a
huge festival at the Lodge head
quarters on Erie street. Mr.. Jones
furtherstated that it was regrett-
able that the drawings had to be
cancelled because of he great
amount of good the funds would
have rendered, but he expressed
hope that other methods could be
used to raise these much needed
funds. Persons holding tickets in
connection with the rally have
been advised to contact the party
from whom the ducat was pur-
chased Mt. Jones concluded.
1t is believed that in spite of
the cancellation of the rally, a
large number of Jacksonians will
entrain for Chicago in time for
the games. At present more than
so tickets have been sold to local
citizens.

It was then that the FBI was

Further investigation led to the
revealing Of long series Of swindl-
es connected with the man called

It was learned that he had beat
Rev. Borders out Of an unreport-
ed sum, even though he interceded
in getting him into Mayo Clinic
during his illness. He was also
said to have fleeced Rev. C. S.
Stamps of Highland Baptist CHI
urch of Kansas City out of $4,000
and turned deal down to build
