So man thnkeh is he. But what has that to do with
Negro History Week? The these words
viz THE Negroes live America deep their hearts notwith
standing the Jim Grow and disregard for them full booded
first class American citizens.
This week dedicated to the Negro is appropriate
men to remind the world that Negroes just segre
gated segment of fifteen million amid Americas conglome
rated population of the world
are an integral Of America and its history and has only
to study early records Of from the colonization

call today THE American Way of Life"
Strangely enough none of the white contemporary writer's
and historians have given thought to the which
shaped this country back in the dark days of IT'S They
have completely overlooked any episodes

know the facts, establish the prin-
ciples, develop the skill to apply
them Brotherhood is social stu
dy. We must learn it together"
That statement is quoted from
literature of the National Confer
ence of Christians and Jews, which
has taken the lead in mass educa-
ton for Reunion of the peoples.
The facts that have been learned,
the principles that have been es-
tablished and the ski1Is that have
been developed in this project sum
up to a body of knowledge that
will save mankind. 1t will make a
secure National Order, restore in
ternational peace and bring world
government. This is the bright pro-
mise of Brotherhood Week.Let's
all join with them to better serve
the cause of happier community,
a stronger nation, world of BROTH
ers. Maybe, we will not need a
Civil Rights Law, since we are alb
brothers, for brothers will not on
ly love brothers. but will do Justly
by them for God is the Father of
adj us brothers. Set an example
during Brotherhood Week and
keep 1t up. Make friends out Of
your race, your community and
the reward will be great. William
Lloyd Garrison once said, my

This is the time to survey your
land and see If you have room for
the silver bell or snowdrop tree.
Here is q beautiful tree reaching a
height of 80 feet with erect branches
and narrow head. It does best in
well-drained rich soil in sheltered
places. Either in tree or shrub form
beautiful specimens are found from
the mountains of Virginia to Illinois
and south to Florida and East Texas.
In the very early spring you will
notice the small, hairy, reddish buds.
The flowers open in May, exquisite
and bell-shaped. The entire tree is
a glorious cloud of white with pink
ish hue. During the summer you
have a dense shade tree and In
autumn the winged seed children
dance on a long stem. The two
species are known as the lone or
two paired wings" Every seed has
waferlike wings, each pair at right
angles. On these sturdy wings the
seeds ride to far places as the wide
range of distribution reveals.
The snowdrop tree Is a fayorite In

gardens and the young tree Is easily
transplanted. If pruned, 1t will
meekly remain a shrub, each. spring
covering itself with filmy gown OF
pinkish white. The bells are beau
tiful, swaying back and forth on
their stems, calling important insect
guests which arrive in vast multi
tudes, though not bit Of fragrance
can be found in a single cluster Of
beautiful blossoms
The leaf buds have a rosy tint,
lending a ruddy glow to the tree in
spring. Every change Is like magic.
In its bridal robe IT 'has turned to
white in a single night" Yet. you
who know and love the silver bell or
snowdrop tree know that the unfold
ing has been going on for some time.
After the white bells fade and
drop, the small, green, tapering seed,
with its four thin wings in length
wise lines, ripen into a seed case.
Among the green leaves the pale
green fruits are distinctly orna-
mental.
The pale brownish soft wood is
light, with little commercial value.

j. F. Of Butte, Mont, writes: ut
irks me to hear the beautiful name
America pronounced 'a-MURR-i-ca.'
Won't you discuss the correct pro-
nunciation?"
I will indeed. It is amazing, but
a fact nevertheless, that many peo-
pie Of good education sound the
second syllable as muir" to rhyme
with "purr, burr" I do not know
why this should be so.
The late Wendell Willkie was
much criticized for his muir" pro-
nunciation during the presidential
campaign of 1910. Numerous peo-
pie wrote to this column about 1t.
Correctly pronounced, the second
syllable Of America is given the
short "eh" sound as in merit, merry,
Merrimack."

Goren on Bridqe

Today'S hand, strangely enough,
came to me more or less directly
through the channels Of sport. At
an early hour one morning In
smoke filled room" at the recent
national championships In the
Roney Plaza of Miami the boys had
gotten around to a review of the
last seasons pivotal football games.
SO many of which had appeared
hopelessly lost and had been won IN
the last 80 seconds Of play. Peter
Leyentritt, by a slight diversion
which seemed natural at the time,
staged a cavalcade of bridge hands,
q procession of apparently impos-
sible contracts that had been
snatched from the jaws OF death.
His own contribution was this
choice morsel from Bridge Week,
the last time we participated In this
celebrated tournament in Los An
geles. I'm a witness both to the
occurrence and to the relating OF 1t.
The hand was subjected to q wide
variety of treatment, both In the
bidding and the play, but the Sc
uuence of calls that had the great
est number of adherents Is indicated
In the diagram. In some cases five
odd tricks were made, In others the
contract Of four hearts was de-
feated.
Sitting in the South seat Leven-
tritt found himself in the rather
precarious position of having to full
flll a small slam contract in hearts.
due to an unwarranted outburst OF
enthusiasm on the part Of North.
The bidding had been opened with
q spade, which North overcalled
with two spades. South dutifully
responded with three hearts. a ges-
ture which pleased North to such
an extent that she carried 1t to five.
Inasmuch as South had been
brought upon the scene perhaps un-
willingly North should have been
unwilling to assume this risk. II
South had nothing. a contract for
IL tricks would be distinctly out OF
reach. South contracted for slam
without the slightest qualm. Inas-
much as partner had offered to pro-
duce II tricks singlehanded, the
ace of hearts should be the sur
prise card that would bring in the
twelfth.
When the king Of spades was
opened, Leventritt was willing to
call the whole thing of. But when
the outlook Is gloomiest, optimism
has its proper place. The spade was
rufaed with the jack of hearts.
Everything depended upon estab-
fishing the club suit, so faith had
to be placed in the nine Of hearts
as an entry to his own hand. The
king of hearts was cashed, then a
low heart was led toward the closed
hand and when East did not play
the 10 declarer finessed the nine,
which held. A club was led toward
dummy. West ducked and the king
held. A low club was returned and
West won with the queen. He fol-
lowed with a spade, forcing dummys
queen Of trumps. A low club from
dummy, ruffed in the closed hand,
established the suit. The last trump
was drawn, the jack Of diamonds

Needless to state, this was an un-
