The banker considered the pros

With awe in his voice, the other
asked. mo, have your been out

NO" admitted the first, but

A young would-be lover wheeled
his beautiful Buick to the curb
where a version of sepia loneliness

It's a fact: The OAR, or the
Daughters Of the American Rev

huge number had any offspring?

tween two luscious brownskins

The second girl shrugged her

WHAT A PROBLEM: Nails
that keep breaking willy nilly
certainly are a problem. No
sooner do they all get long
enough together, then whoops-I
one, two, or even three of them
gets knocked out of commission.
One of the pioneers in the hand
care field dn the low-cost group
of nail products) has come up
with a new product that is a
scientific cream containing lano-
lin, cholesterol, and Diiodotyro-
sine "a white iodine compound
in a formula designed to help
prevent brittle or split nails, pro-
mote and strengthen the nails,
and help keep the cuticle soft
and pliable. You massage this
new cream product daily into the
cuticle at the base of the nail. 1t
can even be massaged into your
nails while your polish is on.
Your hands are always on dis
play-keep them looking attrac-
tive!
Now that you are on the road
to settling the problem of brittle,
breaking nails, you'll want to
have your hands looking smooth
and be petal soft to touch. We
can't add anything new to the
wonders of hand lotion that
is already famous, but we can
pass on the news that a finger
tip dispenser lis now being offered
with the regular 81 size lotion
AND with an 11-cent reduc-
ton for them both. Another
recommendation we can make is
for an "opalescent look" to your
legs (they're showing now with
the shorter skirts. try massaging
them with the lotion so that your
hose will go on smoothly and look
even sheerer than they are.

Does Democracy Require Violence
And Segregation?-

"The Communists after being in 81
years still need a secret police" is an indict-
ment delivered by an AP by-line appearing
in a daily paper. We have depicted wildly in
this article the immediate and continuing
problem of the Soviet to crush and keep
crushed all those opposed to the dominant
party-the communistic. Confiscation of
property, suppression and liquidation are
enumerated as methods of handling the op-
position. No person can prosper or even sur
vive if he is found to be a traitor or an
enemy to the party.
AS Americans we read with conviction
this indictment of the way of Russian COM

Same Soup Warmed Over
BY EARL

Last Friday morning in the wake OF a
post Thanksgiving celebration two Negroes
convicted of numbering white men, met Their
death in the electric chair at Tucker prison
farm. One Of the men was the second to die
for the same crime.
II anyone would like TO ask any ques-
tons / would only have one answer, same

have to explain to me the seriousness of the
crime, murder, and the penalties which Il
carries. but what would like to have ex-
planned is why is John Does guess is always
right when he predicts the verdict of jury
when il has to decide whether d Negro is
guilty or not guilty?
II is for the most part true that when
Negroes are involved in homicide cases
where white persons lose their lives, they
are doomed for the maximum penalties
which they deserve IF found guilty. II is
the opinion of this writer that II a man g
big enough to commit a crime. he should
be equally big enough to receive his punish.
ment to the extent of the crime committed.
II such be the findings of fair trial But on
the other hand, anyone who takes the life Of

gard to race. II is not the thought Nat tho

the only function of the committee that has

committee.

are needed for the Negro ctizenry. But, we
are opposed to a jimcrow advisory commit
