 Money, However
By WILL GRIMSLEY

NEW YORK, June 22.-R-Con- fidence radiated from both camps today as champion Joe Louis and challenger Jersey Joe Walcott en- joyed brief lull before their 15- round heavyweight title bout to- morrow night at Yankee Stadium.
 "Ill get him quick" was the cold prediction of the Brown Bomber, who announced this 25th defense of his crown will be his last ring outing.
 He's ready" was the tag hand lers put on Walcott, the amazing comeback who almost snatched the title last December.
 Odds favoring the champion re- mained firm at to 13 although there was talk of a late flow of Walcott money that might reduce them slightly by ring time.

Negroes In College Miss
Agricultural Opportunities

"Many opportunities for pro-
fessionally trained Negroes in
these fields are not being filled
because those with the Compel
ence are nowhere to be found.
These positions now pay salaries
which make of them career op-
portunities worthy of careful con-
sideration.
"Those in position to offer
sound o%ccupational guidance
should not overlook the field of
agriculture and the varied oppor-
tunities to be found in it,"
Other leaders are also noting
that the Negro is not taking ad-
vantage o fthe chance to get ahead
in agriculture now offered him.
1t has been noted that many COL
legiates are studying to be gov
eminent county agents while few
really aspire to running farms on
a big scale.
The following colleges, mostly

CHICAGO, May 26. CAMP
Even though $50 per cent Of the
Negroes earn their living through
agriculture only a small percent
age o fthem are studying with the
aim Of a future on the farm.
With the great advance in
farming techniques through the
use of machines more training is
required to be a good farmer. The
new scientific agriculture requies
much college work.
Yet, in II Negro colleges in
the south giving courses in agri-
culture, only 166 students in this
department will graduate at the
May and June exercises. An es-
timated 100 are presently en-
rolled in this department. The to-
tai enrolment at these schools is
about 10000; thus only slightly
more than 10 per cent Of the COL
lege students, coming mainly from
an agricultural society, are pre-
pairing to continue in this field.
DR.. F. D. Patterson, president
of one of the leading schools in
agricultural training, Tuskegee in
stitute, and also assistant to the
secretary of agriculture, recently
said:
"The Negro continues to receive
about $50 per cent of his en-
ployment from agriculture. Farm
ing is now a highly lucrative en-
terprise. Successful farming calls
for technical knowledge, skill and
insight.
"Those who make money in
agriculture year after year are
likely to be those with high intel
ligence backed by sound train
ing. For such people as these agri-
culture is a profession"
DR.. Patterson pointed out that
in many fields where Negroes
we're first used as unskilled and
semi-skilled labor they lost out
when the field advanced to a skill.
1t was because they failed to
study and qualify for the higher
skill. The same thing is beginning
to happen and will happen in
agriculture, he warned, unless the
colored man began to get train
ing. He said:
IA host of specialized callings
associated with the field of agri-
culture now exists. The number
and variety of these fields OF
specialization multiply yearly. They
are to be found on the state and
federal levels, and in the foreign
service.

murmured. But of course it was parlor

what he called quick exits" snatching up
fragments of clothing as they ran.
One, alone, retained her composre. Or
perhaps pity for the fallen man (he had
dashed his skull against the tree) made her
forget the scantiness of what she wore.
''Or perhaps" Phantas added, she was
accustomed to appear in that costume in pub
lie. She bent over me, this ivory vision, her
body cleaning in the sunlight, and my last
thought, as her dark eyes looked into mine,
was that had met her, and loved her, some
where before"
He awoke to find himself stretched ON
wooden bed in stone cell!
From where he lay he could see brass
lantern which hung Immediately outside an
iron grille in the door of his cell. The door,
heavily nail-studded, was of medieval
solidity
HE MANAGED to get to his feet, but the place,
damp and evil smelling, began to swim around
him in fluid mockery. He sat down and waited
awhile. There was an earthenware pitcher of
water in niche, and he tasted the contents,
found it sweet enough, and icily cold, and
drank long draught.
Somewhat restored, he took further stock
of the situation. He was still fully dressed
None of his possessions was missing, except
his automatic. He lighted a cigarette
"And," said Phantas. the smell of tobacco
convinced me. for the first time, that l was
neither dreaming nor mad"
As soon as he felt equal to the effort, he
crossed and stared out through the bars of
the grille. He could see little way along a
stone passage. Another grilled door. on the
opposite side, was just visible: clearly a
regular prison.
There was no sound, except faint trick
ling of water.
The whole thing remained completely un-
accountable. He had heard, in parts of Saudi
Arabia, of wealthy landowners who retained

dropped into more normal atmosphere, he
dinly recognized the tops of tall palms, then
the regular boles of the trees as he descended
lower and lower -.
Il had some impression of terrace bright
with flowers, of water, of marble. Then

had fallen into the harem garden seemed
highly probable.
But why had he been thrown into prison?
Il decided to examine the lock" he said.
Phantas had the door open in less than two
minutes. He habitually carried tiny case Of \
implements useful for such purposes, and il
remained IN his wallet.
He cautiously surveyed the corridor.

Phantas paused. offered me cigarette and
refilled our glasses. An old woman, emaci-

resting heavy bundle on the pavement To

word she uttered at that moment - made
my heart jump. That word was my stage
