FOR FROSTINGS
MANY OTHER THINGS
MORE ATTRACTIVE
WITH PURE FOOD TINTS
Hints for Tints
FO RFROSTINGS—
While you mix the icing, stir
in dissolved tint until the desired
■diade is obtained. Cakes may be
iced with more than one tint. Fill
ing between layers can also be
colored.
FOR CAKES—
A cake may be attractively
tinted by adding dissolved tints
to the batter, before baking. By
separating the batter into parts,
a different color may be obtained
for each layer.
FOR ICE CUBES—
Stir into the water to be frozen,
enough tint to color it as desired.
Pour into ice-tray and place in
electric refrigerator. Still more
charming results can be obtained
by adding pieces of fruit or ber
ries to the water before it is froz
en. Try mint leaves with green
tints in cubes for Iced Tea. Fla
voring may be added to any of
rhe above, such as the juice of
lemons, limes, oranges or a few
drops of oil of wintergreen, spear
mint, or peppermint.
FOB SALADS—
You can variety-tint pieces of
pears, peaches, pineapple, fancy
cut hard boiled white of eggs or
boiled potatoes and other salad
ingriedents, by dipping each in a
• different dissolved tint. Mayon
naise may also be tinted. Very
unique and appetizing effects are
secured that beautifully dress the
t table.
FOR WHIPPED CREAM—
Dissolved desired tints and add
to cream before beating. A
beautiful rainbow effect in whip
ped cream decorations can be ob
tained by separating cream into
a number of portions, adding a
different tint to each part, and
beating until quite stiff. Then,
just before serving, pour all |
parts into one bowl and gently
pass a kitchen fork once or twice
through the entire bow! or whip
ped cream.

RAILROAD TWO YOUTHS TO
DEATH IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
(Jhattanooga, Tenn. (CNA) To
satisfy a white cop’s long-stand
ing grudge,—and to provide an
other example to “keep niggers
in their place,” the state of Ten
nessee is planning to take the liv
es of two young Ne,gro boys, us
ing once more the old lying
charge of rape.
The two boys, Oscar Bivens,
and Andrew Wilcox, were sent
enced to death in the electric
chair, by an all-white Negro hat
ing jury. The frame-up began
in March, when May Brown,
white, brought a charge of rape
against “some colored man”
Here's Brown’s tall story, which
was eagerly swallowed by the
jury.
May Brown and Millard Prince
a white man, were walking along
Kossville Boulevard at three
o'clock in the morning. They
said they were coming home from
the house of a friend where they
had gone (o attend a party. The
party didn’t come off, because of
sickness in the home. Yet for
some unknown reason, they stay
ed in the house until 3 o’clock.
As they were coming through the
Negro neighborhood, at 23rd st.,
two Negroes attacked them—or
so they say. One of them “drag
ged the white woman down the
hill”, while the other “ran the
white man off.”
Negro witnesses, among them a
reputable old woman, testified
that they were awakened by the
sounds of a drunken fight and
saw this man beating up the
white woman and heard them
shouting and cursing at each
other. As usual, the word of a
Negro witness counted for noth
ing.
When the case came up in po
lice court, May Brown testified
that it was so dark at the time
of the attack that she couldn’t
idehtify anybody. When she
was taken to the county jail to
view the line-up of prisoners, she
left without being able to ident
ify anybody, although the two
boys, Bivens and Wilcox were a
mong them.
That was a golden opportunity
for Roy Clinton, white policeman
Bivens had previously defeated
one of Clinton’s attempts to rail
road him to the chain- gang
Since that time, the cop had been
out to “get” Bivens and his
friends. Only a few weeks be
fore, Bivens and a group of
young girls and boys were sitting
on the front porch of a friend’s
home at ten o’clock on Saturday
nigfft. when Clinton picked them
up and rode them around in a car
until after one o’clock, and then
brought them to jail and booked
them for “late hours.”
I hns it came about that three
prisoners, who testified at the
trial neard Roy Clinton tell May
Brown that Oscar Bivens was the
man in the Coca-Cola cap and
give her the means of identifying
Andrew Wilcox. Brown went
hack to the line-up and immed
iately identified the two hoys.
A white doctor from the Erlan
o'er city hospital testified that he
had performed an abortion on
May Brown for a two-month’s
pregnancy and that the “baby”
was a Negro. Everyone who
knows anything at all about such
matters knows that at this stage,
it is almost impossible to tell the
difference between the human
embryo and an animal embryo,
much less between Negro and
white.

Y. N. C. L. Notes
SAVING CONSUMERS’ MONEY
by George S. Schuyler
(for Educational Bureau YNCL.)
INKS .
Consumers should know that
despite advertising, practically
all inks are of very low quality,
while the prices charged are ex
orbitant. They are usually ob
jectionable because they corrode
and clog pens, and are neither
permanent nor indelible. Some
can be easily washed out with
soap and water, or a weak chem
ical.
The best ink is the government
standard which can be made for
low as six cents a quart. Where
as commercial inks cost from $1
to $1.50 a quart retail. For
formula for perparing this iuk,
send ten cents to the Superintend
ent of Documents, Washington,
D. C. for “Inks”, Typewriter rib
bons and Carbon paper.” Circu
lar No. 95, Bureau of Standards.
Or send 50 cents to the same per
son for “Materials for Household'
Circular No. 70, Bureau of Stan
dards.
If you do not want to make this
excellent ink yourself, send 70
cents to Half Moon Industries,
Pleasantville, N. Y. for a quart of
record ink, or 60 cents for a quart
of writing fluid made according
to government standards. It is
cheaper to order in quantities.
James W. Ephraim, One., 91
Warren Street, New York City
sells concentrated record ink of a
high quality in 4-oz. bottles for
30 cents. In ordering, however
add 25 cents postage, and differ
ences will be returned to you. No
jiostage need be included on order
of more than $1.00. A 4 oz. bot
tle will make a quart of writing
fluid or pint of record ink when
water is added.

Cincinnati Buying Club Finds A
Way To Compete with Chain
Stores
--
Cincinnati, Ohio.. The Buying
Club of the Consumers' Co-oper
ative Society of this city reports
that its experiences have reveal
-1
ed that there are only a limited
number of commodities that are
sold cheaper by the chain stores
than can be purchased directly
from wholesale dealers. This
finding came as a result of the
club’s unique plan of buying.
Which, in brief, is to have a Pur
chasing Committee keep posted
on, and make regular reports up
on wholesale .prices, which are
then compared with chain store
'prices, and only such things, as
can be bought at a saving, are
petition with the chain stores and
independent grocers is eliminat
ed.
This club in its several months
of existence has grown to the
place where its orders are made
biweekly instead of weekly, there
by teaching housewives the value
of bulk buying and effecting a
greater discount in the cost price.
So decided has been the increase
in the business, that the society
now plans to purchase a truck.
Which will both facilitate the
present deliveries, and make it
possible for the buyers to deal
directly with farm producers.
Negroes’ Biggest Problem One of
Dollars and Sense Co-op Head
Declares
_ o
N. Y. City—Speaking before
the Virgin Islands Civic and In
dustrial Association here on Thurs
day evening, July 7th. Miss Ella
J. Baker, National Director of the
Young Negroes’ Co-operative
League declared that most real
and most direct problem facing
Negroes’ today is one of dollars
and sense.
“The present economic depres
sion should have taught the Ne
i gro some things in general with
1 other groups, and some things in |
^articular as a group, ur »xne
lessons of general import, the
Negro should have learned that
for individuals and nations alike,
the day of sharply defined in
dividualism is rapidly giving
place to that of mutual interde
pendence; and that platitudes,
however high-sounding, do not
buy food nor pay the rent. As
for lessons of special group in
terest, he should now realize that
as much as he would like to be
“just another1’ citizen, or human
being, the age-old prejudices
force him to both share in comm
on with other groups many prob
lems, and face in a very large and
definite manner problems that
are peculiarly his own. Which
problems are neither to be solved
by some philanthropy on the
part of the powers that be, nor
by any act of Providence; but
only by the concerted and persis
tent efforts of the Negro himself.
“This means, Miss Baker con
cluded, “that the Negro must get
down to the brass tacks of this
bread and butter proposition, and
learn to put more SENSE into his
dollars. He must be willing to
abandon all hopes of building up
a Negro capitalist society upon
the ruins of big capital, and direct
his attention to the virtues of
Mutual Self Help. By the simple
process of buying together the
things he consumes, thereby di
verting the profit from the mid
dle man into the pockets of those
to whom it belongs, thejconsumer
limself—it is possible for the
Negro to lift himself from the
o\v social and economic status
•vhich he now occupies to a posit
ion of command and respect,
where he would be a group to be
reckoned with in the new social
order—whatever that order be.”
1,000 Omaha Householders To
Buy Cooperatively
Omaha,—The Citizens’ Cooper
ative Society has directed its at
tention to the opening up of a
Milk, Butter and Egg Dept, with
the hope of soliciting the patron
age of one-thousand Negro house
wives.
The idea is to have these one
thousand households purchase at
least one quart of milk, one
fourth pound of butter, and one
half dozen eggs a day. From
which it is estimated that, with a
daily profit of one cent on each
ftem, there would result a gross
profit of $30.00 a day, or $900.00
a month. With which it would
be possible to employ some five
persons for a joint cost of three
hundred dollars, and to provide
against nominal losses, pay for
heat, light, rent and telephone
and rental for an additional $145.
50, leaving a net profit of $454.50.
This net profit to be rebated to
the patrons on the basis of their
purchases.
The movement has already re
ceived the indorsement of some of
the leading citizens of the city,
including several business men
and some of the outstanding min
isters, and bids fair to become one
jf the cief factors in relieving the
economic strain upon members of
the race in this city.

HABITS
by A. B. Mann
Practicing Dishonesty
( The Literary Service Bureau)
There is the old story of a boy
who was hanged for stealing, and
who confessed that he began his
career of dishonesty by stealing a
book from school. Such is the
cumulative influence of minor
crimes which most certainly will
develop into major ones if allow
ed to do so.
Little streams make great riv
ers. A little stick of dynamite
can destroy a large building. A
little word may cause (murder.
A little lie may cause disastrous
war. So, little acts of dishonesty
may cause one to become a thief,
causing grief and shame and end
ing in penal servitude.
There are those who contend
that these minor errancies are not
so serious, but, if allowed to con
tinue they will most certainly
prove disastrous. Better not take
the risk.

“CAN WE COUNT ON YOU?”
LREFUTES CLAIM LINCOLN
CAME OF COMMON STOCK
There are no grounds for be
lieving, as many Omaha people
now believe that Abraham Lin
coln came of inferior stock or that
his father was an “ignorant,
shiftless vagabound. ”
This is the gist of a message
received today by Michael J. Al
msteier, 329 Aquila Court, from
Or. Louis A. Warren, of Fort
Wayne, Ind., author of “Lincoln’s
Parentage and Childhood,” and
foremost living authority on Ab
raham Lincoln’s early life. I>r.
Warren has also asked Mr. Alm
steier, whose long standing inter
est in Lincoln has been greatly
whetted since his affiliation with
the Lincoln National Life Insur
ance Company, to put him in
touch with all persons in this lo
cality possessing documents or
other facts having a bearing on
Lincoln s parentage or ancestry.
Dr. Warren and Paul Manship,
famous American sculptor, have
just completed an exhaustive re
search in Lincoln genealogy as
a background for Mr. Manship’s
heroic bronze statue “Abraham
Lincoln, the Hoosier Youth”
which is to be dedicated at Fort
Wayne in early fall. This will be
the first statue portraying the
boy Lincoln ’, and since there
are no known pictures of Lincoln
prior to the age of 37, the two
sought to dig deep into the rec
ords of Lincoln’s youth to de
termine what the boy Lincoln
must have looked like. Their
findings are at sharp variances
with the ideas commonly held a
bout Lincoln s ancestry and boy
hood, and the completed statue
will show “young Abe” as a
clean-cut youth, dressed in rough
frontier clothes, but well-groom
ed, strong and self-reliant.
“Historians have been almost
completely stumped for facts on
Lincoln's maternal side,” stated
Dr. Warren. “But the paternal
side can be traced more readily,
and it is the paternal side that
seems to indicate that we have
been all wrong in our estimate
of Lincoln’s birth and boyhood.
Our searchings have led very de
finitely to the conclusion that
Lincoln forebears were of no
means common stock, and that
despite the fact of Lincoln's
humble birth in a log cabin, the
family from which he sprang
was one of outstanding men*
men of ability and men of afflu
ence. The more we delve into
the records of the Lincoln Nation
al Life Foundation, the more we
become convinced that Thomas
Lincoln, father of the Civil War
| president, was a stronger eharac
| ter than formerly believed. We
j have positive evidence that he
• was a respected and responsible
j member of his community. And
we are certain that he came of
the flower of pioneer stock, a
stock that, must have been perpet
pated in the boy who was to be
come the Great Emancipator.”
THESE HUSBANDS OF OURS
Making a Fetish of Dead Wife
By Mr. “X”
(Next Week: ‘‘Some Wives and
Others” by Madam “X”)
( The Literary Service Bureau)
Some men are very foolish and
very unfair in continually telling
of what their dead wives have
done. “My other wife did it this
way; • ‘ My other wife never did
do things this way;” “My other
wife was just the best woman
that ever lived;” these are some of
the expressions used by men who
seem not to think that a present
wife is due any consideration. If
the conditions were reversed, and
the woman should be constantly
“throwing up” what her dead
husband had done or had not
done, the man would become en
raged and shout, “To h- with
your dead husband; I got nothing
to do with that!” all, let men
practice the Golden Rule, in this
connection.
