When America was still 8
British crown colony, an English
woman came to her new home
in Tidewater, Va. and brought
her family recipe for furniture
polish to keep the finish on her
furniture soft and lovely. This
recipe has been handed down
through the generations. and has
now been placed on the market
by one of her own descendants
with no change in the original
formula.
This is the history of the furni-
ture polish that works four ways.
It. clearls-quick1y removes dust.
dirt and grease. 1t polishes-
gives a lovely, soft sheen and
with continued use will build up
an even more beautiful finish.
It feeds-they say it's nourishing
oils sink into the wood, thus
preventing excessive dryness and
cracking. This is especially i'm
portant for veneers, which crack
easily in artificially heated rooms.
1t protects-leaves a thin coating
of fine wax which preserves the
wood and it's high finish.
This polish contains refined
beeswax, which you'll find leaves
a finish soft and satiny in ap-
pearance, but hard and smooth
in texture. 1t also contains a
generous quantity of linseed oil
which is said to be the perfect
oil for wood. 1t does not con-
tain paraffin or any petroleum
by-products. To use, just shake
the liquid in the bottle, dampen
soft cloth, rub it over the wood
then polish with a clean, dry,
soft cloth. You'll discover a little
goes a long way.

TO PUBLISH WRITINGS.
=

From Mrs. M. A. H., White
Plains, N. "
A free lance writer for many
years, with an even greater length
of time on the other side of the
desk, I'd like to add my 2 cents
worth to the remarks of Mrs. L.
M. B. An additional source of
information and data for writers
is The Writer. published in Bos-
ton. 1t is older and I think better.
Paradoxical as it may sound, a
beginning writer should start i'm
mediately to specialize. AS soon
as you can call yourself an expert
along any line however big or
humble, contributions along that
line get greater consideration by
the editors. This is particularly
true when you can refer to con-
tributions in other publications.
And it is very desirable for a
writer to keep very careful records
of everything sent out, an exact
set of books so to speak. Many
small publications are not too
scrupulous about returns: it helps
a little if you indicate that. you
keep exact records of everything
you write. Occasionally a study of
your own books will suggest ideas
for new articles or places to re-
send returned stuff.
The most needed quality in free
lancing is patience. not in a mat
ter of days or weeks but running
(sometimes) into years. Especially
If you go after the pulps and the
little papers,

! grocery store. You will find this
broom amazingly light as it weighs
one-third less than old-fashioned
brooms. You'll also find the broom
will continue to hold its shape
because it does not bend when
sweeping. It can be used for all
purposes as it is washable and can
be easily cleaned with soap and
water. The companion 10 the
above is called the Whiskof. It
comes in three sizes, the large
utility size, medium. or home size
and small size which fits very
conveniently into the average
handbag. These. too, have the elec-
irene bristles and you'll be sur
prised how quickly and easily you
can remove dandruff and other
particles from wearing apparel.
The electrene bristles, which look
like a pliable lucite, are, finished
in the same colors of which the
wooden handles are painted. These
brooms could never be considered
an "eye-sore" in your kitchen
equipment.
Those interested in collecting
cups and saucers will find a large
selection of lovely ones in one of
the local shops. They are made
of bone china with gold deccra-
tions, and are imported ware. Al
though they are of the demitasse
style, the shapes and sizes differ.
Shades of rose, blue, green and
cream can be found among the
stock.
At your next dinner party serve
the after dinner cordial from a
cut crystal decanter. This partic-
ular one is beautifully cut and
the matching six glasses are very
dainty. The set would make an
outstanding wedding gift or better

to abuse the iron.
An electric dryer is a real time
and labor saver and it has been
my experience with the tumble

less wrinkled than when dried by
other means. The tumbling ac-
tion tends to shake out wrinkles
and leave the clothes soft and
fluffy. This is particularly desir-
able for bath towels which come

BASEMENTLESS HOUSE.
From Mrs. R.M.L., Falls Church,
I have been silent partner to
RICH for cne year now, taking all
and giving nothing. Now would
like to add bit.
For NJ. K. S., Silver Spring: I
have been using a steam iron
which is a combination steam and
dry iron with a two-letter name
for three years now and it's been
most salts ying. Also with regard
to her inquiry about dryer, they
are wonderful. Mine has a rather
long name. eight letters, highly
advertised and I'd rather give up
most anything before I'd part
with it. It's always fair weather
and it's amazing how soft the
clothes come out of it. Many
things can be folded and put
away. C3rduroys are as nice as
new and needn't be ironed one bit.
I surely enjoy doing up my che
mile bedspreads and bath rugs
nowaday. In a couple of hours
they are back in use and fluffy
as ever.
Another reader requested infor-
nation regarding basementless
houses AMI to her I would like to
say that have just completed my
first year i'll my radiant heated

ment ever again. The floors are
warm and there is a certain solid
ity about our home now that we
have never enjoyed before. No
floors to vibratc, pipes to rattle
and squeaky such as you get in a
basement-type house. AS for
storage. We have clean dry stor-
age in full attic. My laundry
room adicins my kitchen and
saves me many steps. I have had
an automatic washer in a base
ment for 10 years and I now ap-
preciate having it in a more con-
venient location.

New Loyalty
Probe Bill

WASHINGTON, April EN- a
statement filed today with the
House Un-American Activities
Committee in opposition to HR
1895, Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr.,
NAACP labor secretary, charged
that "the powers vested in the
three-man loyalty board which this
bill would establish are so sweep
ing that almost any organization
might be affected, ranging from a
college fraternity which holds Sc
cret meetings to a labor union
which refuses to divulge a list of
its members
The NAACP's opposition to this
bill, Mr.. Mitchell's statement said,
SIS based on our traditional fight
to protect civil rights" Enact
ment of this bill, be said, would
replace the supposed menace of
communism with a concentration
camp atmosphere in which all per-
sons who seek to promote social
change would be suspected of ac-
tivities against the best interests
of the United States"

Marshall said:

Marshall said:
at matters not to me whether
every single Negro in this country
wants segregated schools, it makes
10 difference whether every white
person wants segregated schools,
if Sweat wants to assert his in
dividual constitutional right, it
cannot be conditioned upon the
wishes of every other citizen"
Before arguments of the Sweat
case was begun, argument of the
case of G. w. McLaurin, stu
dent in the Graduate School of
the University of Oklahoma, was
completed.
Robert L. Carter, an attorney
for the NAACP representing Nc
Laurin, was questioned closely
about the type of segregation to
which McLaurin is subject in the
University Of Oklahoma by JUS
tice Tom Clark and Chief Justice
Vinson.
Mr.. Carter took the position
that it was wrong for university
authorities to set up regulations
requiring racial segregation in the
university and that McLaurin was
entitled to admission on the same
basis as other students.
Justice Robert H. jackson asked
Clark what difference did it make
where the seats colored students
were required to occupy were and
whether they were numbered or
not. He remarked that he bore
only on one phase of the argument
because the "phase that there can
be no separate treatment does not
depend on whether there are good
seats or worse seats in the house."
Carter agreed that that was the
crux of his argument.
Justice Jackson then remarked
that that question of equality may
be affected by changes in the seq
regation requirements but the
other question is not affected by
any changes" Carter agreed that
that was his position.
Continuing the argument in be-
half of McLaurin, Amos 7. Hall,
a Tulsa, Okla, attorney, told the
court that "If there is a choice
between retention of few jobs
! by Negro teachers in Oklahoma,
we prefer equal protection of the
! law"

ney General of Oklahoma, present

and on the approval of the dates
of President Bedford V. Lawson,
the Thirty-First Annual observ-
ance of Education for Citizen
ship Week" is hereby announced
for April 1928, 1850.
The purpose of Education for
Citizenship Week" is twofold.
Alpha Phi Alpha recognizes the
need for and seeks to establish
that kind of climate in our homes
and schools where students pro-
coed instinctively from grammar
school to high school and thence
to college. This program pro-
vides student guidance in survey
ing and utilizing all possible
sources of assistance for scholar
ship aid.
The second broad objective of
Alpha's program is to encourage,
and actually to secure, the regis
tration of every man and woman
who arrives at the voting age in
the year in which he or she quail
flies for registration on the basis
of age. Coming of age should and
must become synonymous with
registration for citizenship.
Alpha Epsilon Lambda Chapter
of Alpha Phi Alpha is marking
the close of Education for Citizen
ship Week" with a public program
to be held at Parish Street Bap-
fist Church on April %, 1850.
For this occasi ion, A Up h

Oats, President of Alcorn Col
lege, Brother Oats brings with
him distinguished and creditable
accomplishment in those vitality
important fields of Education and
Citizenship. His message will be

Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc. has and
will continue to pioneer and to
persevere in the eradication of the
twin blights of ignorance and po-
litical ineptitude.

Bolivar County
Holds Annual All
Club Rallies

Cleveland, Mississippi - (Spe-
cial) - In one of the most i'm
pressive events of it's history in
club work, Bolivar County held its
annual All club rallies with to-
tai of 2,516 in attendance. Because
of desire to reach more children
and to impress more adults of the
superior quality of work being
done, the unlimited interest being
shown by boys and girls and the
great need of fullest cooperation of
churches, schools, homes and in
dividuals with the children and ex-
tension agents in the greatest or
ganization for greatest good of
any other among boys and girls, it
was decided to hold rallies in dis
tricts.
On April 5, 6, and 7 all roads
led to Rosedale, Shaw and Mound
Bayou. Great throngs gathered to
watch the most colorful parades,
led by the bands of Cleveland and
Mound Bayou performing in a
manner to do credit to any aggre-
cation, followed by well planned
and conducted programs in each
community. Exhibits of clothing
and foods were on display for pub
lie observation. SO impressive were
these programs and exhibits that
persons to whom the activities of
Al club work were previously UNI
known have pledged themselves
intellectually to the work. Club
work is, therefore, no longer a
step-child in Bolivar County.
All credit must not be given to
the Extension Department who led
the affair but also to the Health
Educator, Ernestine Smith; the AS
sistant Health Educator, Willard
Jordan; the Soil Conservationist,
Elisha Pippins; the Jeanes Super
visor, Principal Richard Sapenter,
of Rosedale; Principal B. G.

Burnside, of Mound Bayou.
We thank every one who contri-
buted to the success of the occas-
ion.
