Dr. Irene Taueber of Mount Holyoke College states, “Nevertheless, the race as a whole is growing lighter, it is due to the crossings with the lighter colored stock already in existence.” Then she further states, “The segregation process operative in the inheritance of pigmentation will prevent the develop ment of a population of one uniform hue.” Just what does Dr. Taueber mean by “segregation process”. We gather two things from this writer’s article—little white blood is now entering the Negro racial mixture and the white man is still operating, but on a segregated basis. Either the writer of this editorial is underestimat ing Dr. Taueber’s scientific survey on the intermingling of the white and black races or lack of understanding of this congested idea. This segregation process” as she terms it is in deed puzzling, since the beginning of the intermingling of races, it has been a distinct privilege of the white blood to use the segregated process. As to the population of one “uniform hue” is the disturbing point for consideration—or all you may say, summed up in a nut-shell. The Negro is getting lighter too fast. It does require close examination to tell which is which these days. Many doors have been closed and privileges refus ed because of the color of the skin but if this range of duskiness is to your gain and their loss and if a man is to be denied the opportunities of life because the color of his dkfc, pot lighter, folks, get lighter.

OUT OF TOWN CHOIR AT HILL SIDE CHURCH The choir from the First Presby terian Church of Wahoo, Nebr., will appear in a lovely Sacred Concert, Sunday afternoon, November 27th, at 3:45 O’clock at the Hillside Presby. terian Church, 30th and Ohio Streets. Music lovers in Omaha, should show their appreciation to this lovely group of singers, who are bringing to us contributions from the great compos ers from Debussy down to Rodeheav er. We should show our appreciation in giving them a capacity house—not because they are of the other race, but because they are “Out of Town” artists, coming to Omaha and there fore are Our Guests. The program will last for only one hour and will include a half a dozen chorus numbers, two numbers by the male quartette, two from the female quartette and three vocal solos. The Pastor of the Wahoo Church, the Rev. Mr. E. J. Nickerson, former moderator of the Omaha presbytery and several members from the church will accompany the choir. There will be no admission charges. Rev. J. S. Williams is Pastor of the Hillside Church. ^ READ THE OMAHA GUIDE 5c WEEKLY PLAN BIBLE FATHERS by Dr. A. G. Bearer Isaac, The Deceived Father (The Literary Service Bureau) Text: The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the bands are the hands of Esau— Gen. 27:22.) One must pity the weakness of Isaac as strongly as he would con demn and contemn the conduct of his wife, Rebecca. Rebecca was wickedly partial. She loved Jacob more than she loved Esau and she plotted to secure for her fav orite the blessing which was due his brother Esau. She Succeeded, but this favorite suffered many things and his mother must have suffered re morse. Pathetic was Esau’s, “Bless me al so, my father,” when he knew his own brother had defrauded him of his priceless heritage. But Jacob paid in fear, august suffering and uncertain, ty. Let all fathers take warning from the weakness of Isaac and its its direful consequences. Read The Omaha Guide SOME WIVVES AND OTHERS by Mr. “X” Getting Too Thick with Neighbors (The Literary Service Bureau) Some women actually have no tern perate zone in regard to their inti mate associations with neighbor worn en. They are overflowing, ardent gushing, intemperate and as thick a: the proverbial “two pease in a shell They they fall out and the end is ter. ribly frigidity if not real enmity anc slander. Generally when a woman falls out with another, her first thought is tc “tell what I know.” She uses such expressions as, “She beter not fool with me, or I’ll open my mouth and she’ll be ruined." Better not get toe thick and become too confidential, and there will be no danger and no feai of having secrets repealed. 'This is a case where prevention is far bettei than cure. • -—--- o PRISONS AND PRISONERS by Clifford C. Mitchell o -— * * • Elsewhere in this Armistice edit ion will, undoubtedly, be found ap propriate features, poems, drawings and comments that will definitely connect the subject with that great day of November 11th, 1918. In this space, however, I wish to use Armistice as the theme of a col_ umn and in a manner that will spec ificly bear upon the lives of prison ers that are to be found in all pris ons and at this particular time. An armistice can be declared and put into effect by others than two or more warring nations. Each prison er has the opportunity of outling an Armistice edict that will affect two or more rivaling forces that are now swaying his mode of living. These forces within us are con stantly at war. Varying circum_ stances environments and associations create changing thoughts, desires, sentiments and habits. And in these continuous changes we are confront ed with temptations that will easily devour us if we do not stop and de clare a truce—or Armistice—between these warring thought processes. The Armistice that put an end to the World War caused an immediate cessation of human slaughtering which otherwise would have continued indefinitely not only causing the loss of millions of human lives but a complete destruction of many govern ments and all therein. Even the winners in such a pro longed death-struggle would be so seriously handicapped due to the wrecked and maimed condition in which its forces would be in that they too would suffer equally with the losers for it would take centuries to overcome the damage that a few years of destruction would inflict. Just so with our own lives. Some of us have been years paying the penalty, and attempting to rebuild the things that we destroyed in mo. ments of confusion when we permit ted ourselves to be swayed by war ring evil forces that seemed to daz zle false illusions before us. Many others are just commencing to pay—and pay dearly—for the des. struction that uncontrolled warring forces (within themselves) have caused—all of which could have been averted if a truce—or Armistice, had been declared soon enough. There is much consolation in the fact that even, after our physical en ergies have become mutilated and ex_ hausted that we can call a truce or Armistice, and rebuild our resources. In the preparation of such an Arm istice edict we must use reason and become an architect in preparing the plans and terms upon which we re build, replacing the faulty and weak parts with materials of strength and so brought together that each part will serve to support the structure as a wnoie. After the plans for the rehabilita tion have been perfected the Armis tice edict will beneficially differ from a resolution because in such plans we not only resolve to do, or refrain from doing, certain things but because it really is an Armistice we must act ually stop certain performances and actually commence others. Some times an Armistice can be perfected because of pressure from various direct and indirect sources. All prisoners, in all prisons know of many things and many ways by which we have observed an Armistice on certain actions because of both di_ rect and indirect pressure. When we fail to observe such an Armistice we know well what the penalty is. But to really observe Armistice Day we should do so voluntarily de. i i The ONE HORSE STORE i' W. L PARSLEY, Propr.

ADAMS (The Literary Service Bureau) You say you are not satisfied 1 With what your life has been; That often fighting, you have lost, When you deserved to win; But, better that it should be thus, For, satisfied, you know, You’d cease to struggle, and aspire, And thus would cease to grow. Heavy your load has been, you say, Your tasks so very great, That victim you have been oftimes, Of unrelenting Fate; But loads and tasks are needful things, By them we make advance; For no great height* were e’er at tained By aid of fickle Chance. iTt-. HABITS "•mump by A. B. Mann Slovenliness in Dress (The Literary Service Bureau) It is doubtless true that most eld erly people become sloven in dress. And perhaps it is true, as claimed, that elderly men are greater offend ers in that way. But women are far far from being exempt from the hab it. There are women whose stockings are habitually twisted and wrinkled. Others are constantly raising their their “undies”. Women wear dirty shoulders to keep up the straps on dresses and aprons and excuse on the ground that, “I can’t keep dressed up while I’m working.” And the phases of this weakness are almost number less. We find many men who will not take time to shine their shoes, to shave or even to brush their hair. Intensely disgusting is the appear ance of a man with a soiled cellar on. There are both men and women who will not take time to clean fin ger nails or to wash their and behind their ears. Any and all of these habi dis creditable and inexcusable. In many cases friends would like to call at tention to these faults and thus help the addicts, but nearly all of such of fenders in this way are very “touchy" and to make such an effort would bring displeasure and resentment.
