Handicapped for centuries by a state of mind which ,^nslaves us helplessly to doctripes and ideals not necessarily essential to our well-being as a race of people, Negroes all bveir the world, are baffling with consequent problems embodying insurmountable difficulties- ' o; ■w-^ro< : It Is the Negro’s self-erected social barriers, which, more than anything else, are blocking our path of progress, and with

deadly effect.

The canned knowledge being dished Out to the race ih higher institution of learning all btdfc th£ k World is of a wholly one-sided na-

Negroes are on record as having made numerous outstanding contributions to civilization: They have done their part well in helping to build nations, including our own. Many irmventiohs, the benefits of which the world Is now enjoying were born of Negro creativenfess, yet our people, because of prejudicial systems in vogue^ ’ everywhere, are miserably uninformed on such things. This is one reason why our people have suCh 4 disdain for things colored and * such great admirations for the institutions of other groups. l : Our people must wake up to this treacherous situation.; Qur self-respdtt demands it. The ^time has come for more of the kind of education'that will make for lifting the raCe out of its present wilderness of savage superstliution, 'needless ignorance ahd state bf self-imposed inferiority complex. it is the Negro’s right to demand for his postertiy a greater knowledge of things more in keeping with fundamental educational requirements of the race. must obtain more of this kind of knowledge in our public schools, in our high schools, in our colleges.

THE LOCAL HOUSING PROJECT

, Ayprit pn the $3,000,000 Federal housing project started in Indianapolis last week following appropriate ceremonies participated iii by‘Governor Paul McNutt, R. L. Bailey, attorney, and former assistant attorney general of Indiana and other local and govern•men.tOfficials. ’ ’ ' K ' \ : - r Thps, this huge employment creating undertaking for which The Recorder has battle* for many months is an accomplished fact. ’ u ' / ' * The fifteen apartments and row houses now beiAgkconstfucted on the two-acre tract, will provide modern homes for three hundred tdmilips with twelve play grounds and dub rooms. Apart from ttye improved sanitary condi-

tions to accrue to dwellers in the district affected the government hpuging plan might result in inducing. Indianapolis home owners to clean up, painWp; and repair their properties on a lafge enough scalp- to add somewhat to the volume of employment now being afforded through the medium of the housing construction project. At least, it is to be hoped that something Will be done, while work on this project is going on, to speed up the wheels of private industry. For if ever prosperity is to be returned to the people, if must be done by means of full co-operation by big business with state, local and Federal work finding programs. ' There can be no recovery as long as big business and conniving politicians continue to block all move*? to that end with selfish criticism of whatever is being done. Meanwhile, this newspaper insists that an appreciative number of colored mechanics should be given employment on the local housing project.

CRUISING ‘ROUND

THE PENNY ICE FUND

The Star-Salvation Army Penny Ice Fund is among the most substantially helpful efforts ever launched in interest of the needy of Indianapolis. A total of 3,393 families, 1,093 more than it has ever reached are being served daily with ice through this fund. The number of citizens who are dependent solely upon the penny ice fund for relief during the present hot season, is much greater ■than it has ever been. A circumstance which makes for as heavy a drain on the fund. Therefore, every legitimate means is being utilized by those in charge to create in the charity movement a wider public concern. Because of the great benefit it is contributing to the community’s needy, the fun d . which calls for regular public support, must be continued. According to executives, “the fund is receiving the greatest test of its existence during these days.” However, it is fortunate that donations to this charity effort have been gen^ous from hundreds of public spirited citizens and business concerns. Equally refreshing is the circumstance that the fund has been boosted considerably during the last few days by contributions amounting to $172.62. All of which goes to show to what desirable extent liberal minded citizens are favorably impressed with the penny ice movement. That, of course, is as it should be .

THAT NORTH CAROLINA LYNCHING

“Death at the, hands of parties unknown.” Such was the cold matter of fact language in which the reuslt of a corner’s inquest into the murder of Gowan Ward, who was lynched by a North Carolina mob last week was expressed. It is not expected of authorities of that state to even attempt to apprehend, much less punish, the murderers of this 25-year-old race man. There will be absolutely nothing done down there now, nor, at any other time, to put a stop to this savage habit of cowardly snuffing out lives of defenseless American citizens by cut-throat elements of privileged classes in the south. Just so long as our people remain in the south with arms folded and do nothing themselves, to call a halt to this system of officially aided and abetted barbarity, just so long will members of our group be strung up to trees, shot down like veritable rate and otherwise maltreated at the hands of traditional enemies. - North Carolina will do nothing, we say, to apprehend and punish her most recent mob murderers because the victim happened to be a member of the colored race. If this is not a damnable shame, we know not what is. A number of Negroes are alleged to have participated in the brutal Louisburg lynching. Whether or not this is true we are not prepared to say. But it is hard for us to believe that there are any such types of Negroes in the United States depraved enough to take part in the bloody system that has for its ultimate purpose of exterminating the race in the southland.

AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS

The recent speech as delivered by Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia on the position of his Kingdom in the present Abyssinia-It-alo improglio has gone down in history as a highly brilliant bit of diplomatic performance. That the world’s only unconquered nation is determined to maintain that status in spite of whatever Mussolini might do to change it, was revealed unmistakably in the Emperor’s address. For nobleness of thought and logic, Haile Selassie’s pronunciamento was plainly a declaration to the world that millions of African patriots are prepared to die rather than surrender their Constitutional Liberty. Meanwhile’s Great Britian, France and Italy seemingly are getting their heads together for the purpose of cheating Abyssinia of her rights in the controversy. This, is being done with a view of preventing a war that pormises to involve the entire world. * ’ • ”

One of the anest^ arejekt follojy ears of “Cruising ‘Round”, old friend John W. Howard, veteran insurance man, has this to say about young men. “Yes there are exceptions, hut as a rule our young men are soft and unable or unwilling to stand any test of endurance.” This is true in two many cases, but we their eiders must ‘ share some of the responsibility^-' We train our young to work short periods, as they grow up this becomes a part of them, thus no m,atte#how willing or how able they may be to perform certain tasks of endurance, their faulty training comperls them to stop periodically, regardless o fwhat may be the icbnse

quences.

Cered, her the seht.

Notice that our young women are not going as naked as they went last year. I overheard a discussion on the subject of women’s dress between an elderly man and a boy. A girl dressed in ohe of those noback and very-little-front, no-stock-ing and sandel outfit happened to pass. The boy said “I do not think it at all nice for a girl to go about the streets in such a costume.” “Well, said the elder one, it was not nice years ago, but times changes. What was right then, now appears to be wrong and what was wrong is now right. What’s right in one case is wrong in another.” Thus the young “conservative” and the elderly “liberal” continued their debate. Is it wrong or right, who’s to say?

She declined,

the offer. Pardon me lady, I shan’t

do it again.

If above this line were there a picture of a certain woman I would say “Meet the most amazing secretary” not only that but a careful and prudent woman. Her individual courtesy, her magn&tic personality, her lead-on conversation, despite the volume of work on her desk makes one feel that the office and her time belong to the patrons of the firm. No where have I seen a superb business courtesy of an employer so minutely and perfectly matched or surpassed by one of his employers. Only a keen observer could distinguish the difference between Mrs. Hughes finely trained “business welcome” and a genuine “personal welcome" on business of no consequence to the firm, and since Mrs. Hughes (who is careful in giving her name to strangers) did not reach for her | pencil or notebook, which means , the conversation is ended. I would | have found myself using the lady’s valuable time, had not the telephone rang. The John A. Patton Funeral Home is fortunate in having such a highly trained assist-

ant.

DEYQND DEATH By Noel Chandler A red roste Blooming by the way, And blowing near, a violet— So chants the one—a lyric lay. The other thrills a triolet . . .

A poet lingered near to note This harmony of earth complete, ' Then sat him down at last and wrote In rhymed lines and measured feet. Of violets and the rose-^-tree’a bloom In breathing words to apprehend ‘ His themes, but Time has sealed his tomb And blown his verses down the wind. A crimson rose—bud blooms again . Pale petals dancing laughingly . . . ’ O words are but the tools of men, But living poems will never die 1 1

Contributed Verse

In his new car Attorney Henry J. Richardson, Jr., took me to his spacious office; consisting of a guest room, private office and an overflow office, fully equipped with an enormous assortment of law and other books. He allowed me the privilege of looking over some of hfs briefs in regards to various suits. I saw enough to convince me that he has among his Clients some of the largest firms in the city. He says his ambition is to become a lawyer. The writer thinks he has the opinion that he has already attained his ambition.

Mr. Shelds was carrynig Mrs. Shield’s baby, but Mrs. Shields was telling Mr. Shields just how to carry it. Mr. Shields did not say much out loud, but I imagine he said inside “Much my baby as it is yours.” Mr. Bally and another young lady were with the Shields, a lovely appearing couple, an innocent beautiful baby. Debating with a friend of mine, I held that our morals of today were just as good as „ they were years ago; my friend says they are not. I was sure that I was right until I heard an otherwise very charming young lady sniging the song “I Can’t Dance” I still think I am right but I am not cocksure about it. One of the most brilliant weddings ever held in the city took place at Simpson M. E. Wednesday night a week ago in the marriage of Miss Jessie Keys, popular leader of the younger set, to Mr. Cary Jacobs, progressive attorney. The church was crowded to overflowing. The Rev. Plummer Jacobs, a brother, officiated. The column wishes this couple many happy returns.

Of all the diseasef from which* human beings suffer, those affecting the heart, the kidneys and the blood vessels take the largest toll of deaths. Yet of these three it is interesting to realize that not infrequently either heart disease or disease of the kidneys may be secondary to a condition affecting the

blood vessels.

For this reason, life insurance companies are paying more and more attention to the discoveries that have been made which show at as early a date as possible that changes of significance are occurring in the tissues of the arteries

and the veins.

The term “blood pressure usually is taken to mean the amount of pfessure behind the flow of the blood in the arteries, which carry the blood from the heart to the outeimost points of the body However, doctors recognize the fact that there is als a certain pressure to be found in the veins which carry the blood back to the heart after the arteries have carried it out, and there is also a pressure in the capillaries. These are the very tiny blood vessels which transfer the blood at the terminal I points from the arteries to he

veins.

blood pressure. When the heart has just contracted, the pressure is higher than When the heart is

relaed.

The first measurement, during systole or contraction, is called the systolic blood pressure. The second measurement, during diastole or relaxation is called the diastolic

blood pressure.

You might think that there is practically no pressure when the heart is relaxed, but there is ordinarily elastic tissue in the walls of the largest and smaller blood vessels, and that these aid to maintain the pressure during the relaxation of the heart muscle.

I have acquired the quadrennial habit of querying Perry Howard on the eve of tbe approaching National election as to what he would make to the colored voters to hold their traditional allegiance to the “Grand Old Party.” .Hf has always assured me that ample, adequate and convincing apical would be forthcoming in due time. Now Perry Howard is the Prime Minister of Negro Republicanism. He is as true devoted and died-in-the-wool a partison ua black. If tlie “Grand Old i‘artv* any Republican that lies, white or ever succeeds In regaining ascendency it should and probably will reward his unswerving devotion by making him Dictator of the political fortunes of this groups The pardent Mississippi National Committeeman has taken time by the forelock and lias issued tbe warning note to the ••Grand Old Party" bemoaning the estrangment of their black allies and advising how to bring the aggreived black brother back to the fold in 11X10. He advises tbe ‘‘Grand Old Party” to elect as a standard bearer one who will command tbe enthusiastic support of the Negro vote upon which tbe party most rely for hope of victory. He does not specify any particular candidate. Ex-Presi-dent Hoover is still titurlar head of the Republican Party but his name would make a very faint appeal to the colored voter who naturally enough, objects to being stung by the same bee twice. Of all tbe names now prominently mentioned to lead the forlorn hopes qf the once mighty but now overwhelmed party, only oaie awakes any enthusiasm in ‘AfroAmerica—Hon. James W. Wadsworth who remains true to the faith of bis father and to tbe faith of tbe fathers of the “Grand Old Party.” But to pick a candidate too far in advance is to invite his defeat by concorted onsiuut of his rivals. Mr Howard is forced to admit, though reluctantly, that the colored voters “in a large measure left the Republican Party” during the last decade. There is probably not another Negro of bis prominence in the Nation who would agree with him in the assertion: “Personally I am satisfied that there was no justification for their desertion.” His loyalty to his party can hardly be matched, no not in all Afro-America* It is crass partisanship of this archpartizan which leads him to say that Mr. Roosevelt has not only failed the country but has failed the Negro in that he has done nothing that he promised to do. During the campaign Mr. Roosevelt was scrupulously careful not to make any extravagant promise to the Negro. He declared pver and over again that h$ would bg made part and parcel of the “New Deal” and would receive the consideration along with other “forgotten men.” This promise lias been kdpt with absolute’ fidelity. He has not isolated the Negro race nor given bis special attention to group grievances, but every step in the “New Deal” has applied to all who fell within- the given catagory without discrimination on account of race or color. Under the NRA codes the Negro did indeed suffer certain incidental

baidships but this was due to the prejudice of employers and white workfolk, and not to administrative policy or purpose. Every instance of race discrimination that has been properly brought to the attention of the Administration has been properkv adjusted as far as Administrative authority could a 1 feet it. While the Negro suffered it has been because of the misfortune of his lot and not by studied purpose of the Administration. There has been more kindly feeling and substantial expression of good will towards the Negro under President Roosevelt's administration than under those of Harding, t'oolidge and Hoover. Colored i»digents and unemployed have been given public work and relief out of all proportions to their numerical quota. They receive most where their need is greatest. Secretary lekes in his statement before the Association for the Advancement of Colored People said that in tbe administration of the Public Work and Relief Funds there was absolutely no race discrimination. Perry Howard is honestly mistaken, that is as honestly mistaken as a politician can be, when he states that, colored Leaders who supported Roosevelt are disappointed because they have ■ •een overlooked. There is less expression of disappointment among Negro politicians and less criticism and condemnation by the Negro Press, pulpit and other organs of public Opinion than of‘any administration during the past forty years. Of course no Administration can satisfy the claims and demands of disappointed politicians, white or black. I suggest to my friend, the die-hard Republican exponent, that he should cast his mine backwards and review the_ volume of condemnation and abuse heaped upon the heads of Harding, Uoolidge and Hoover during the closing years of their administration. I assure him that he will find that in comparison with the mild murmuring against the present administration it would compare like a raging storm to a gentle zephyr. Even an ardent partizan must not allow his enthusiasm to sweep liim too far beyond the fact. When Mr. Howard says that Mr. Roosevelt has overlooked the Negro in appointments, I can only suggest that he follow the advice of Governor Al. ■ Smith and consult the record. Mr. Roosevelt has appointed to office more colored, men than his three Republican predecessors combined. He not only selected colored men for the important positions usually assigned to race—Recorder of Deeds, Minister to Liberia and Judge of the Municipal Court of Washington, D. C., and special Assistant to the Attorney General, but has also selected specially qualified Negroes as special Assistants to the Secretary of the Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Commerce. The number of colored men filling positions under the “New Deal” requiring experience and jpxpertness is out of all proportions to such assignments in the history of the ' Governmehf. Mr. Howard’s slur on the colored experts -appointed by. President Roosevelt as Peakn-singing Rosenwald Workers is gratuitioijs, to

One expert has pointed out that we ought to stop using the term blood pressure, because it is really the arteries that are concerned, and not the blood. If the pressure of the blood is found to be higher than uaual, the patient is said to have "hypertension,” or high blood pressure. If it is less than the normal, he is said to have “hypotension,” which

Doctors measure the blood pressure with two types of machines, in most cases. One has a column of mercury and the pressure is recorded in millimeters of mercury above the air or atmosphere pres-

sure.

Another type of machine has a dial and a moving needle controlled by the tension of a spring. The fiure on the dial compare with the reading o? a mercury col-

umn.

There are several conditions which may raise the blood pressure temporarily, after which it will retu^p to normal. Thereafter doctors have to distinguish between the mere record of a high blood pressure aqd the occurrence of disease affecting the blood vessels; of which the chief manifestation is high blood pressure. • ^ Thus they, call the first arterial hypertension ahd the second hypotensive arterial disease.

‘HOW READEST THOU?” It is one thing to Read the Bible through. Another thing to Read to learn and do. Some Read it with design to learn to Read But to the subject pay hut little heed. Some read it as their duty once a week; Bat no instruction from the Bible seek: While others read it but little care. With no'regard to how they read, nor where, a " Some read to bring themselves into • repute, By showing.others how they can dispute While others read because their neighbors do, To see how Jong ’twill take to read it through. Some read it for the wonders that are there— How David killed a lion and a bear; ;• While others read it with uncommon care Hoping to find some contraction there. Some read as if it did not speak to them, • But to the people of Jerusalem. One reads with father’s speces upon his head, and sees the thing just as his father said. Some read to prove a preadapted ;• creed. 5 - • ■ Hence understand but little 'that they read-; ' ’ For every, passage in the book they bend to make it suit that allimportant end. Some people read, as I have often thought, to teach the book instead of being taught; And some there are who read and of* spite. I fear there are but few who read it right But read it prayfully, and you will see. Although men contradict, God’s words agree; For what the Early Bible prophets wrote. We find that Christ and His Apostle quote. So trust no creed that trumble to recall what has been penned by one and verified by all. RE.V. Wm. WOOTEN.

say the least. It hi;s been the policy of President Roosevelt to fill the high places in the Government not with more political incompetents who use the offices merely as a loafing place for political henchmen and party boosters, but he has insisted that every official under the Government, white or black, shall efficiently perform the function to which he has been assigned. On calmer reflection, I am sure Mr. Howard will wish to uith-draw his Insinuations against Julius Rosenwald, the superlative philanthropist whose benefaction to the colored race has been so bountiful. Complaints against the present Administration in that it has not ended the depression is indeed loud and strong, but this complaint comes from the priviledged and powerful outreuched behind the breastworks of. vested and not from the Negro who is but a fellow-sufferer in the misfortunes which have befallen the nation and the world. I agree with Mr. Howard in the hope that the Republican Party will select a candidate for 193ti that colored voters can enthusiastically help to elect. I hope that the Democratic Parly will do likewise. To this end the Republicans may have to look far and wide for such a candidate, while the Demociats have only to re-nominaje the present incumbent of the White House. —KELLY MILLER.
