upon the sparse attendance at the

OF the District population is colored and
numbers great potential home town
ian sections Why then do they not
support the team as do the colored
rooters IN New York, Cleveland, Chi
cago, Milwaukee and Brooklyn?
The reason is simple. Years ago
clark Griffith could have had the pick
OF the best colored players in the Ma
zion. The late Josh Gibson, Bankhead
and others showed their ability before
Griffith every summer in his ball yard.
Even after Branch Hickey broke the
tradition, Griffith held off going after
some potential colored stars.

He is simply thinking man who is

futility Of dealing with the Com

the Communists made 1t quite plain

During the past several years, as we
have steadily lost ground to COM

Admonition to Tax DODGERS

some Americans think it is smart to
cneat on their. income taxes, making
CLAIMS for unlawful deductions and ex.
emptions. These people are surely fool
ing themselves as well as being disloyal.
- our Government does not have the
necessary cash to maintain our Army
Air Force and Navy, we NAV become
weakened to such an extent that we
cannot repel or attack the countess
enemy Communists in this world.
II our armed forces should be de-
feated by the Communists Americans
would not only lose. their property. but
other special privileges of the United
States.
So, my fellow Americans, pay all your.
income tax honestly and patrioticallv.
being assured that in doing SO you will
get full value for your money in sup
porting our glorious republic.

COFFEE ADVICE PROVIDED

Women" the man says, know
very little about coffee or coffee
making So, I'll tell you"
Robert T. Cameron, retired Knox
vile lawyer who keeps bachelor
quarters has been working on a
coffee pot for five years. It's pat
ented with eight claims to special
features. 1t brews coffee in any Of
the popular ways-peTcolatOr, drip
or pOt-all in the same cOntainer.
Don't boil it hard he urges. That
brings out bad taste in a substance
called caffe-tannin and boils off
the good taste with the aromatic
oil.
That's the heavenly aroma you
smell in some kitchens when cof-
fee is being made, and that makes
your disappointment greater when
the cup handed you holds a COM
paratively tasteless brew" he says.
CamerOn's coffee pot, he says,
keeps the caffeine and oils in the
brew and leaves the caffe-tannin in
the grounds.
