The West Side has been under
survey during the past few weeks
in observance of Negro health
week. The committee in charge Of
the survey released a report of
their inspection. With regard to
clean alleys and yards it found
the territory west of Summit
street in fine condition., with only
a few places in poor condition.
From Miami river west to Broad
way was found to be in a deplor-
able condition in the majority of
yards and alleys.
The committee announced it's
intention of taking the matter up
with the city health authorities in
and effort to effect a cleanup
campaign of the area.
We might note parenthetically,
that a good portion o fthe area
between the river and Summit
street is slum area. By slum rea
we mean areas blotched by un-
livable novels, ramshackle tene-
ment, ~rat-infested, disease breed
ing shacks. The only widespread
solution in improving these areas
is to pressure the housing author
tiles with %incessant demands for
adequate housing projects. Two
years after the war for democracy,
we see, according to a newspaper
report last week, an lakewood
real estate operator stating to the
city council there that several
real estate transactions have trans
pired in which restrictive cove

Things That
Interest Women
By Bessie F. Bell

If your makeup would accom-
plish the correctplish the correct
effect, there should be a healthy
skin to begin with.
The complexion that is marred
by blackheads, pimples and rough
scally skin cannot be improved a
great deal by applying rouge and
lip stick.
For clean cut lines-when you
have no lip brush, as a second
best, an orange stick dipped into
your cream rouge or into that re-
naming bit of old lip stick, will
serve nicely. Draw the outline
carefully, then fill in the space
with lip stick, blending evenly
with the finger tip.

MURDER CHARGE

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col,
April 26. (ANP)-An argument,
following a drinking party, led
Mrs. Beatrice L. Grant, 43, to beat
her aged mother-in-law, Mrs. Mag
gle Williams, 70 into a state of
Inconsistencies from which she
never recovered. Last week, a cor
oner's jury ordered second degree
murder charges filed in the Ell
Paso county district court, against
Mrs. Grant. The beating was ad-
ministered on the night Of March
%, and Mrs. Williams died in a
local hospital April 10.
DR.. Henry Maly, county coro-
ner, held that death was due to
a cerebral hemorrhage and the
jury decided death was caused by
injuries inflicted by Mrs. Grant.
AS far as could be learned, fists
were the only weapons used.

Alabama pushed the ball up the

standing up. After that it was
lust a question of how long Jack

came after a sustained drive of

The Tiger score was the result
of a pass that carried some 30

threw to Johnnie Green who
caught the ball with a one handed

The explosive offensive mach
inc that the Bulldogs were supper
ed to show was very definately
missing. Both teams looked like
anything but college powers, and
from the opening gun it appeared
TO be just a question of who would
be The luckiest.
Walter Howard, Tougaloo back,
was easily the offensive star of
the game. Passing for two scores,
and running and punting through
out the game, he made up for
somewhat listless play of the othe
players. Kent Gee and Edward
Gipson were Towards targets,
and made nice catches as he threw
to them inside the twenty for the
Bulldog scores.
Alcorn took to the air for two
of its tallys, but the third was
a precious from Tougaloo. The
Bulldogs allowed an Alcorn kick
off to roll dead in the endzone
and AIcorn covered it for the game
winning 6 points.

New Orleans, Nov 1 - The
past month was a time of much
activity on the legal front in
the fight against discrimination

involved: Oklahoma, Texas, Vir-

California
Oklahoma became the second
Southern State in two months to
lower the race ban in the grad
uate schools of the State Univer-
sity. The Texas Supreme Court
turned down an appeal for a
writ of error in the celebrated
case of Herman Sweat who is
seeking admission to the Uni
versity of Texas Law School. In
Atlanta, Ca, a Federal Judge
granted an injunction restraining
the Board of Education from pay
ing white teachers more than
Negro teachers. Members of the
school boards and the superint-
endents of two Virginia counties
will appear in a Federal Court
in Richmond on October % to
show cause why they should not
be held in contempt for failure
to comply with a July Court or
der to provide educational opp0r-
tunities for Negroes equal to
those afforded white children. On
the Atlantic coast a Federal Judge
in Baltimore ruled that the Jim
Grow dining car arrangements Of
Southern railroads are not a vio-
lation of the Constitution and do
not constitute 'real inequality.
