An Editorial
THE ERA OF THE COMMON MAN


The Daily Review, Clifton Forge Virginia. recently devoted
editorial to story which has been making the rounds in
England. Here's the way it goes:

trousers"
Again the listener broke n saying Him comfort
able in corduro+ys."
The astator, annoyed, said that would be permissible

Once he interrupted: Hid rather bike"
This time The agtator eaped from the platform and grab

Graveyard Tells
Secrets Of Life
Of Fencepos+s

A fence post graveyard" at the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station is yielding valuable infor-
nation about the life and dura-
bility of its occupants.
More than 300 posts were set
in the ground in 1914 for service
testing. These consisted of un-
treated shortleaf pine, American
elm, and soft maple posts, and
posts of these same species treated
with various types of preserva-
tiveS. This year, r. L. Sarles, of
the stations forestry department,
examined the posts and learned
which ones are giving the best
service. ........ -
Full length preservative treat
ment is essential with posts made
from these non-durable woods to
insure a sound condition above
the ground, Sarles found.
Materials used to treat the
posts We're creosote oil and copper
naphthenate applied by three diff
ferent methods - pressure, hot
cold open tank, and 15-second dip.
Posts treated by the latter two
methods received butt treatment
only.
Sarles does not recommend the
15-second dip treatment since
in this experiment it did not in
crease the service life of the post
sufficiently to justify the time
and expense tr..
During the 94year period, there
was no failure at the ground line
of posts treated by either pres
sure or hot-cold bath methods.
pntreated pine, elm, and maple
posts lasted only TO, 4.8, and so.
years, respectively, in terms of
average service life.
PRIMITIVE CHRISTIANITY
Christianity is Christlike only

Justice In Mississippi

Justice is making progress in Mississippi. A white
has been found guilty in the attempted death of
Negro The case, which occurred back in 1851
took alwhite Circuit Court jury only eight minutes
to find white employer guilty of attempting to kill his
Negro employee. The sentenced to serve 10
years in the state pententary. Negro man. alleged
have helped in the crime, is already serving 10year
sentence. He brought to testify in the at
cent court hearing.
The details of the relatively unimportant
judging from the recent trend Of things in Mississippi
There was time when white person would hardly be
brought trial in involving Negro. The state
has stood foremost for its of brutality and acts
of injustice against the Negro But today, find
light being thrown conditions in the state. There
seems to be more of effort the part of intelligent
white people to work for justice for ALL The fact that
this allwhite jury took little time possible to find
this man guilty of crime shameful IN the eyes OF any
civilized region is indicative of the trend of justice IN
the state 1t also represents that Mississippi is coming OF
age and people longer going to be content with
the dictates of their emotions against that OF logic
When white person is allowed to go free when he
commits crime against Negro, society becomes the
greatest loser criminal set Free regardless of race
IS menace decency. Law and order becomes less Ell
fective and the people, not the Negro suffers most
Southern Justice should take serious note OF what is
being done in Mississippi
The state should be commended for its new approach
to Justice The demonstration the part of the Circuit
Court is one which hghighs the trend of justice in the
future not for of tie people, but for all of the
people.

MAHALIA JACKSON
SOUGHT FOR BROADWAY

NEW YORK = (GlobaD - Will
gospel singer Mahalia Jackson star
on Broadway? The answer to this
question is known only to the SEN
sational singer of spirituals who
has gained international fame for
her recording and personal appear
ance triumphs.
Cause for the question dates
back to recent huddle in Chicago
very hush-hysh up until now
between Miss Jackson and producer
Leonard Sillman. The impressario
of the hit New Faces of 1858"
wants to feature Mahalia in an
opus which he will present on
Broadway next year. Sillman con-
ferred with the gospel singer for
several hours, and Miss Jackson is
known to have been flattered by
the offer. However, she has al
ways adhered to the religious field,
and she seems hesitant to violate
this stand. However, she is read
ing the script, and this in itself is
significant,

United Negro
College Fund
Distributes
S. Million

New York, N. Y, June ga
sum of 100000 in additional
grants was distributed today to
81 private, accredited colleges and
universities participating in the
United Negro College Funds $685.
100000 building campaign, known
as the National Mobilization of Re-
sources for the United Negro Col
leges. Today's distribution was the
third since July, 1852, and brings
the total to S9,400,000 so allotted
in capital funds to the member col
leges.
The Funds National Mobiliza-
ton Program, a five-year capital
funds campaign to help the men,
Der colleges meet their capital
building needs, recently reached
the appeals halfway mark of S12,
100000 in corporation and founda-
ton gifts.
Today's distribution was an
nounced at UNFC headquarters, %
East 54th Street, New York, n. Y,
by w. J. Trent, Jr., the organiza-
TONS executive director, who said
that funds allotted so far in the
program have been distributed on
an equitable basis approved by the
presidents of all Of the member
colleges.
Mr.. Trent explained that reports
from the college presidents showed
that most of the funds received in
the first two distributions, in July,
1862, and February, 1858, have
been used to begin construction of
new buildings where needed or to
make extensive renovations to old
buildings long in need of repair.
Bethune Goodman College in
Daytona, Beach, Florida, used it's
first grant to renovate Goodman
Hall, dormitory for men, and to
begin construction of a new physi-
cal education building.
The first allotment made to Dill
lard University in New Orleans,
La, supplemented other funds to-
ward completing and equipping
new science building. billiard was
also enabled to improve it's heat
ing plant and complete paving of
its campus roadway system.
Funds made available to Knox
vile College in Knoxville, Tenn,
made it possible for that institution
to elect a new, modern building to
house its music and art depart
ments.
With it's share of the money al
loted, Benedict College in Column

hall and do-mitory.

NEW YORK-(Global)-Listen-
ing to Georgia Carr, the gal has
a new "hit" record on Capitol
label ("Laugh") makes me realize
that here is girl with everything
"a voice, talent, looks, and who,
above, all, is lady.
This is a combination that is
hard to beat, and it makes you
realize how few of our young stars
have all it takes. So many of them
are not interested in their appear
ance, they are not well behaved.
Few, like Miss Carr, possess char
acter, class, and the other attri-
butes that make for stardom.
When our young stongsters
strike out for a career, they should
be made to realize how important
| appearance is, and how important
is their behavior. 1t is not enough
just to be able to sing, and any
one who hopes to make living by
appearing before the public, must
present a pleasing picture to the
public.
Now, there is little excuse for
anybody being anything but well
groomed, tastefully dressed and
we'll put together these days. The
beauty industry is one of the lar
gest in this country, and there are
thousands of beauty consultants
willing, in fact eager, to tell wo
men what to wear, how to wear
their clothes, what to do with their
hair. There are many dancing
schools, and dramatic schools that
are anxious to teach people how
to walk, talk, and conduct them
selves, and how to match their col
ors. Therefore, anyone who was
not born a raving beauty, has no
cause for complaint. Modern cos
metology can work wonders, and
if one would only take a good look
and honestly criticize her appear
ance, she could be as we'll turned
out as any model.
This writer would be willing to
wager that any one of our young
singers who took the trouble to
think about the picture they pre-
sent to the public, they would find
their earnings would take jump
and that would be good for all
of us.

plete new science hall in which
classes were first held in Deem
Der, 1852.
MIR. Trent went on to explain
that one of the primary needs of
many of the member colleges has
been to improve or replace out
NODDED, substandard heating and
power plants. Aside from the drain
on the college budgets, the old
heating systems have been eX-
tremely hazardous to the health
and welfare of students and facul-
ty.
In it's report to the Fund, John
son c. Smith University in Char
lotte, S. c., stated that early dis
tribution of funds made it possible
for that institution to replace it's
old power plants erected in 1895,
and to eliminate thirteen decentral-
lied heating units.
Similarly, Shaw University in
Raleigh, n. c., announces it has
been able to make extensive reno
vations to its heating plant.
The report from Tuskegee Insti-
tute in Alabama shows that that
college has invested it's share of
distributed funds until the institu-
ton obtains the full $1,500,000 re-
quired to build a new power and
heating plant to replace the present
fifty-year old, outmoded system.
Mr.. Trent continued by saying
that other member institutions
have either started or completed
preliminary plans for construction
Of new buildings. In some cases, he
said, plans and Specifications were
developed Immediately after re-
ceipt of Mobilization Program
funds, and in others, construction
was actually begun.
Two of the colleges, Atlanta
University in Georgia and Lee
Moyne College in Memphis, Tenn,
have invested their portion of dis
tributed funds until such time as
additional funds may be raised to
meet their total building needs.
On the other hand, funds allotted
to Lincoln University in Pennsyl-
vania and Xavier University in New
Orleans, La, are being used to
build new dormitories for men.
Mr.. Trent went on to say that
allotments made to all the member
institutions have been used to make
major repairs to campus buildings
and to purchase badly needed
equipment for their educational
programs.
Discussing the colleges them
selves, Mr.. Trent said that all
but one of the colleges-Lincoln
University in Pennsylvania-were
located in the Southern states
where 70 per cent of Negroes of
college age reside. These institu-
tons, he said, have an enrolment
OF $4,000 students, representing %

GOD is BROWNING ON SIN"
God is frowning on this world of
sin
Yet mans war takes no heed
mother S sons are on the battlefield
And theIr hearts are made to
bleed.
Sins are going to bring this world
TO an end
1t Will be lire next time we are
told
Men are going to be running and
hollerlng
"O' Lord Please Save My Soul"
You know too much about the word
of God
And care nothing for your soul
God hid these things from the
wicked
And revealed them to the sancti-
fled old.
It's best to know God in departing
of your sins
Than to boast of your many oil
wells
Money won't give you a home on
high
The love of money will lead you toI
He'll.
The love of money is the root of
all evil
And no evil in Heaven as we'll
So why would you lust for the
worlds goods
And lose your soul and go to He'll.
This is only warning to the SIM
ners today
The old world is stained with blood
And a thousand of lives lost wei
are told
by GOd great water and tlOOd.I
God drafts no men with AtomicI
Bombs
Neither a Machine Gun at all
He holds the power of this world
in His hand
And for the sins of this world it'll
must fall.
Nation is fighting nation today
And churches are doing the same
The church is full of hypocrites
And its a low down dirty shame.
God has a few saints in this world
Yet the world it won't take heed
Young boys are on the battlefield
And their mothers heart is made
to bleed.
Money is about to rule Gods house
Will you answer yes or no?
These people have too many del
grees
They are not like Grandma and
Grandpa.
