GEORGE S SCHUYLER IMPORTER by WILLIAM PICKENS (For ANP) We see that George Schuyler is pro poking to help people in America to secure article* of African art and handicraft, for gifts, presents and decorations, — by getting into touch with merchants and producers on the i wes coast of Africa and ordering the articles direct from them—We advise George to get the money from the prospective buyer in America before he »ends for the articles We have wondered why somebody has not tried to get us in touch with these interesting aricle* of African genius before- They are much more beautiful than most American Indian products- But no American merchant, ha* tried to exploit them, partly be- ; case of distance away of the African i. have seen rugs, cloths and hand- j wrought jewelry brought as exhibits by missionarie from Africa, that be token a much higher culture than Na vajo rugs and Chimayo blankets and the gold and silver handiwork of our American Indians. That reminds me: that I have of ten pondered why American Negroes do not use more of the beautiful Af- j rican names, — especially for their clubs and societies. I see Jewih names for Jewish organizations, tltali an names for Italian clubs,— nation al and characteristic names for the organizations of every race in Ame rica,—but I have seldom found a Ne gro group with the courage and self respect to give their organization a good African name- Perhaps if Schuy ler’s business succeeds, we will soon hear of the Zulu Importers, Limited; The Baluba Basket and Pottery Jnr porters; The Nigerian Products Co-, etc—And some of our social set may I get self-r' spect enough to name their j elubs and societies. I see Jewish The Dahomey socialites; The Bechu anas, The Congos, The Angolas, The Abbeokutas, etc African pottery and basketry are of the finest hand-work. But Afri cans are supposed to be savages to the American mind, and nobody has thought of them as artists of a high order snd great culture—that is, no body but a few anthropologists and missionaries- Least of all have their Negro cousins in America thought of them as anything except something* to be ashamed of and forgotten. These same American Negroes are loaded down with “Indian art,”—bas kets, silver bracelets, rugs, blankets. Ju«t think of what they could do for Africa, and for themelves by turning this economic power into trade with African workers! That would not on ly make work for Africans but work f»r American blacks. The most civi lizing touch is likely to come through mutual economic interests. Economic relations mean cultural relations. Economic success brings aelf-respeet for one’s cultural origins. —Of course, the American Negro wa* DOES THESE 3 AMAZING THINGS OR (MONEY BACK 3 Makes Skin lighter 'Over Night. .

HAMPTON INSTITUTE EXPANDS ITS FAIR BY ISAAC FISHER HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va-, Oct 26, 1934—The Community Fair given last fall by the Institute was so suc cessful and pleasing that a second one will be given here in expanded form, on Friday and Saturday, November 9 and 10, respectively- This year all departments of the school are plann ing to present newer and more attrac tive exhibits. Better Babies or Race Suicide? The Fair will open at 1:30 p m- on Friday; and wll close at 5 o’clock p. m. At’2:30 p- m. the “Better Babies” Contest will begin, closing at 5 o’clock This contest to determine the healthi est, best formed, best nurtured and most vigorous babies in the commu nity will be one of the star attrac tions of the two days exhibits, espe cially to mothers. All of the latter who can do so are being rged to bring their babies, enter them into the con test, have them tested and compared wih other babies, and compete, for the awards. The greatest good to be had from such a contest as Hampton will conduct will consist of the exhibition of proper and highest standards of the care of babies, applied b/ train ed nurses and experts. The conserva tion of these babies, so that a hardy race may result and race suicide, be averted is the main purpose of this exhibit. Community Night Friday night from 7 to 10 oclock, will be observed as Community Night This is intended specially for the friends and neighbors of the commu nity- The demonstrations in home economics, one of the most popular attractions last year, promise to ex ceed the offerings made them- In ad dtion to the general exhibits from the depatrments are large, the pro gram for that nigh lists tap dancing, and music by the orchestra of the Royal Hamptonians Morning of Thrills and Surprises ISaturday morning will be one of thrills and surprises. The Hampton Institutte Band will open the Fair at 9 o’clock with stirring msic- Whiliy exhibits are being inspected, more music will be given at 10 o’clock by the orchestra- There wll be a posture parade; and at 10:35 a- m., typing by music will feature the hour, giving place ten minutes later to a tap- danc ing contest physical Education Demonstration .In the chapel of Ogden Hall last year, the department of physical edu cation gave a demonstration which created a profound impression before a great audience of distinguished vi sitors from various parts of the North The rythm and beauty of th« mass movements held the audience as in a spell. Visitors to the Community Fair this year will see something of that same fine demonstration at 11:15 a- m-, out of doors. No persons who love to see a great group of students at their best can afford to miss this demonstration Howard-Hampton Home-Coming Game In the afternoon, Saturday, will oc cur the homecoming football game be tween Howard and Hampton, on Arm strong Field- Many local alumni will be here to witness this gridiron con test, and the game will be a fitting close to the many demonstrations of the day- The community Fair will close at 6 o’clock p- m MRS.

PINKHAM’S TABLETS _■A Uterine Tonic and Sedative for Women SEND EDWARD R. BURKE TO THE SENATE HE WILL HELP ROOSEVELT AND NOT KINDER - i---— — 1 -— —• afcK’ ^- v: ?: Edward R. Burke . . . "as kindly -as the twinkle in his eyes.” EDWARD R„ ^TTTVr7^ Congressman Edward R. Burke, democratic candidate for United States Senator pledges his support to the drive of The Omaha Guide to have Negro workers in Federal positjons U the same proportion as their population is in Nebraska. Nebraska Negroes know of the splendid work which Congress man Burke did last Spring when he worked with prominent Omahans in getting Federal authorities to agree to a plan whereby the Negro population of Omaha w'ould be properly represented on the Federal payroll. Mr. Burke plans to continue this drive until ther are Negro workers in every Federal office in Nebraska. He is also an enthusiastic support er of the Costigan Wagner antilynch law. During the last session, Burke worked for this law and plans to in troduce a similar ^ne during the next session. mf Mr- Burke has always been one of the oatstanding friends of the Omaha Negroes. He was instrumental in placing a Negro upon tha Federal staff of examining abstracts for the Home Owners’ Corporation in Oma ha, Nebraska. His reeord in this respect shows that he has aided some fifty get loans thru the Home Owners Loan Corpora tion. He has further helped some 40 Negro exservice men get their pen! sions properly adjusted during his past twoy oars in Washington. tin Congress, Burke, the Negroes of Nebraska know they have, a friend who will work for their benefit at all times. Indications are that because Burke has pledged to wo* with and for President Roosevelt that he will get a tremnedoue vote in Nebroska. He promises to support the president while his Republican opponent promis ea to oppose the President’s program. Because of this the canfpeign ha* gotten down to where those favoring the Administration of President Oft: BRAITHWAITE AT HAMPTON * BY ISAAC FISHER HAMPTON INSTITUTE—Hampton paid Dr. William Stanley Braithwaite the tribute #f a large audience when he appeared in Ogden Hall on Oct. 23, and gave his lecture on “The Plaoe of the Negro in American Literature” tin many respects, the lecture while fully justifying its title, was much more than a discussion of Negro men and women of letters. It was, really, a broad survey of the whole field of American literature. If the Negro in this field had been omitted, the lec ture would have been acceptable to any college group of students interest ed in the growth of iterature in the United States- Dr. Braithwaite knows his subject well, as is evidenc ed by the rank which he has attained in the realm of letters; and he spoke throughout “as one having authori ty.” Persons from New England, par ticularly from Boston, could not help but be conscious of the “atmosphere” and language of that eld cultured eity as the lecture itself. At the conclusion of the lecture, Dr- Braithwaite met a great number of his friends of the staff and was en tertained l<y them at the Katherine House. A most charming conversa tionalist he proved himself to be, by reason of hie broad field of interest* and his appreciation ei so many thing* that really oeaai Roosevelt will vote for Congressman Burke for United States Senator, while those who favor a return to the President Hoover way of doing things will vote for Robert Simmons for Senator. It is Roosevelt and Burke versus Hoover and Simmon*. While in Washington Congressman Burke visited Howard University sev eral times and he is thoruoug-hly in sympathy with the plan to appropri ate several hundred thousands of dol lars to enlarge thisuniversity and make it one of the outstanding in stitutions of learning in the emtire Uunited tates. HOLD MAHER AND MARDI TO TRIAL After deliberating three days in police court on a preliminary hearing, Bill Maher and Jimmie Mardi were bound over to the District Court, charged with mur der in the first degree and held; without bond for the slaying of Harry Lapidus, December 22, 1931, by Police Court Judge Per ry "Wheeler. Attorney North, for the defense, argued and read citations from a law book concerning various other cases all over the country, and also in England, trying to obtain the right to bond his clients out until the trial. The courtroom was packed with spec tators each day of the hearing. “DON’T EXHIBIT LYNCH VICTIM’S BODY,” GOVERNOR ASKS NEW YORK, Oct. 27—Expressing the conviction that Florida's lynch ing record prior to the Claude Neal mob murder toddy! “gives no hope that anyone in Florida from your of fice on down will do anything to pun ish mob,” the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple today wired Governor David Sholtz of Florida urging him to “for bid exhibition of body of Claude Neal in the public square at Marianna, Florida-” The telegram also charged that “State of Florida ha* proved its un willingness and inability to stop lynching even when twelve hours ad vance notice was given to all per»ons in authority.” THINKS OMAHA IS A fi PLAGE TO LIVE Mr*.

LOOKING BACK BY VIDETTA ISH (For The Literary Service Bureau) (Children and the Church Service) Children used to go to church. I remember a family all the children of which attended the church services £t wa" the “Foote family.” It was the usual thing to see father, mother and all seven of the children on the way to church. A comment was “Here come the Footes with all their little feet” But, today, as a general thing, children do not attend church servi ces. Thousands of them go to Sunday School and yet “pass up” the church In the light of youthful errancies, juvenle crme, and the growng indif ference toward religion, it is reason able to conclude that there is inti mate relationship between this condi tion and he fact that so few young people attend church and hear the gospel. Considerng all of these one is inclined to quote the warning, “Re move not the landmark by the fath f* ers EMERGENCY FEED LOANS AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT NEB With the addition of Burt and Thurston Counties, Nebraska, to the list of primary drought areas, as an nounced in a statement received to day from the Farm Credit Adminis tration, emergency feed loans from tho recent droght relief appropria tion are now available in all parts of the State. The emergency feed loans may be made to purchase feed or to move livestock to and from drought areas. Applications are received by the lo cal crop and feed loan committee in the applicant’s county. All such loans are advanced in monthly allow ances limited to the amounts requir ed per head for the cattle or stock to be fed. The emergency feed in the primary drought areas are being disbursed from a part of the $525,000,000 drought relief fund appropriated in the Act of Congress approved June 19, 1934- They are handed only by the emergency crop and feed loan of fices throught the local county com mittees and are not made by any of the permanent credit institutions un der the Farm Credit Administration.
