AIphas And
nAAcP Honor
A. NJ. Smith

Dallas, Texas-For some time
suggestions and ideas have been
exchanged among different groups
and individuals as to some type of
recognition for one of the most
noted sons of Texas. The news of
the elevation of A. Maceo Smith
to the General Presidency of the
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity point
ed up what should be done. A joint
banquet, open for all citizens to
participate, and say "thank you
Maceo". To many of his associates
and fellow workers, when refer
ence is made of Smith nothing
registers as the familiar and af-
fectionate title of "Maceo".
NATIVE TEXAN
Smith to the surprise of many,
halls from Texarkana, Texas, where
his parents were prosperous farm
ers and where Smith received his
early educational training. He en-
tered Fisk University in 1920 and
was graduated in 1924 He holds
the graduate degree of Business
Administration from New York
University, N. Y. City.
ACTIVE IN CIVIC AFFAIRS
Soon after coming to Dallas,
Texas in 1888 Smith launched up
on campaign of right and justice
for all persons. His activities drew
him in the rank of the NAACP
and for a number of years he has
served as Executive Secretary of
the Conference of branches of Tex
as, NAACP.
ALPHA GENERAL PRESIDENT
At the 37th Annual Convention
of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraterni-
ty, held in Berkeley, California,
December 27-3O, Smith was elevat-
ed to the presidency of the Fra
ternity. This touched off what is
now planned as one Of the most
elaborate banquets ever to be tend
cred an individual in North Texas.

FOR CENTURIES, the lion
L. has been known as the
king of beasts. If you are
speaking of his appearance,
this may be fair enough;
otherwise, it's pure hokum.
Not only is this great cat a
lazy beast that can be ap-
preached and even touched by
an unarmed man in the day.
time, but he is afraid of al
most everything.
The giraffe, on the other
hand, despite its enormous
size, is usually regarded as
the mildest of beasts. 1t has
kind eyes with long, black
lashes like a movie starlet,
is alleged to flee on sight and
is believed to be unable to
make a sound even when
alarmed.
Nature has thrown the lion
and the giraffe into the ring
together throughout Africa.
Given the right setup, only
a few animals are swift
enough to get away from the
lions first rush, and even
fewer are too big or too strong
for him to pull down. Among
the latter are full-grown ele-
plants, rhinos, and giraffeS,
and sometimes a big bull
buffalo. But the lion cannot
resist the young of these
animals. And that's where
he. often gets a surprise
A tourist in South Africa
was amazed recently to see a
lion lying under a 1aucet at
the side of a highway. Trying =
to catch the animal, he saw
that it was badly wounded,
with it's muzzle smashed in
and it's lips split. He re-
ported this strange sight to
the police in the next town,
and a game warden went to
investigate.
The lion was easily tracked
and killed, for it was almost
at the end of it's tether. The
warden then backtracked to
try to find out what had hap
pened. He soon came upon a
female giraffe walking round
and round her calf, which

lay very still in the long
grass. AS soon as the man
approached, the giraffe took
up a position facing him and
in front Of her fallen child.
Moreover, as the warden drew
nearer, she threw up her
head and adopted a threaten
ing attitude. Then the man
saw that her young one had
been mauled and killed by
the lion.
What had happened would
be obvious Immediately to
any one who knows the game
animals of Africa. When the
lion had attacked the baby
giraffe, the mother had flown
to its defense and, rocking
back on her short hind legs,
had started delivering the
most terrific lefts and rights
known to this planet with
her l0-foot forelegs. These
towering pistons of solid bone
and muscle have a girth of
some S feet at the upper arm,
a 5-foot shaft of steel-hard
bone in place of a forearm,
and hunks of horn Z inches
wide for fists. With these,
the giraffe delivers the old
one-two, straight forward.
This lion obviously had
taken one on the chin and
cried uncle" And, in a way,
he had been lucky because an
infuriated female giraffe has
been known to kick a lions
head right off it's shoulders
with a ell-directed blow of
its smaller hind hooves.
Occasionally giraffes will
fight among themselves with
dreadful tenacity and some
times fatal results. They do
not use their mighty hooves,
however, but slash and bang
at each other with their heads
and necks. Full-grown male
giraffes stand over 18 feet in
height, and half of this is a
towering column of muscular
neck, When they strike with
their heads, the neck forms a
terrible weapon. and these
ck-breaking contests can
be heard for upward of a mile.

The question has been raised in
many quarters because of the

which they were afiliated."
If the general died after the
electors acted and before noon or

Constitution provides for the sue

The Goth Amendment, adopted
