RECIPE FOR LIVING
By MRS. JULIA BANKS

Living is an art and we are all
artists whether we realize it or
not. Each day we draw on the
canvas of life picture for all the
world to see.
Our thoughts, words and deeds
are the paints we use. Keeping our
paint clean and pure enables us to
draw pictures of beauty and with
a lasting quality that will give
pleasure to more than we know
and over a long period of time.
Let us therefore watch how we
apply these materials to the canvas
of life during the days of this
new year, and endeavor to draw
only pictures we shall be proud to
display.

be pure; they will refrain from
gossiping, slandering, etc. What
men need most are pure hearts.
If you have pure heart, you have
all. Sure! have trained minds, be
well-educated, but most of all have
a pure-heart love for one another.
The heart believes, loves and wills
LET every man as he willeth

For if our heart condemns :"
If we would seek God, our hearts
must be clear, clean, unblemished
pure Not enough to be clean
outside, but inside" said Rev.
Green, in exclusion.

doubt this but believe Jack will
go the distance: and there are

You must remember that Flood is
not fighting the old Joe Louis
he's fighting a very old Louis.
All Jack has to do Is look good.
Should he show Louis the least bit
of promise. he's Madison Square
bound-after all, the paramount
objective of Louis whole tour is
to find half-decent heavyweight
to take back East in hopes of pull
ing his international Boxing Club

take Jack Flood and do it =.

A Natural Death
For Negro Baseball

EoH NOEHo Dm5COon
A decade ago the Cotton Club
of Chicago and a few Sugar Hill
Clubs in Harlem were enjoying as
much prosperity and reputation as
any other clubs in the nation. But
when the reputable white" clubs
began to welcome Negro patrons.
the popular clubs began to die
slow and natural death.
Negro baseball is doomed to the
same fate that destroyed Negro
night clubs. Jackie Robinson's de-
but in the major league marked the
beginning of continuous decline
in the attendance of Negro base
ball games. AS other Negroes were
signed by the major league teams
the decline accelerated until one of
the main Negro leagues died last
year. The other is hanging on.

is at an all-time high. Many of the people
crowding turnstiles apparently are new fans,
unfamiliar with the games. Until they know
better, these folks can cause trouble.
2. Comes are too complex. Much of the
fault really lies with the games themselves.
To make them more attractive to the custom
ers. sports impresarios have introduced more
and more rules favoring speed. offense. action
Rules are increasingly technical or subject to
wide latitude of official judgment. Hockey
