Despite tho vicious attacks made on both in the course of last year's cam paign by such scandal-sheets as the Georgia Women's World, they havo yet to refuse to pose for a picture with a Negro group. The President’s photograph was taken shaking hands with officials of Howard university just at the time when critiam of his friendliness to Negroes was at its height. With in the past month Mrs. Roosevelt has been snapped twice With Ne gro groups; once at the Christmas celebration in Navy Place Alley, Washington, and one while addres sing the Conference on the Pro blems of the Negro. So paste this in your hat: racial bigotry holds no terror for the Roosevelt. Unlike some former ten ants of 1600 Pennsylvania avenue, they’re big enough in their own right to brush aside prejudice and thus to get the real core of some of the most important problems af fecting America.

THE RECORD SPEAKS At the close of the old year, all of us had am opportunity to see just how important- it is to the group as a whole for some of us during a given year, to brdnk some kind of a construc tive record. We saw Jesse Ow ens paaded at the top of the list in the sports marathon. Who could help but feel proud of this achievement, and what colored man or womlan, boy or girl, did not feel a thrill of exultation when (l-he (told record forced people who, otherwise, wou'd not notice a colored man, no matter how good and respect able he might be. The record of Owens and what followed shows that we simply must put our shoulder to the wheel, and by some herculean effort, go over the heads of everybody else to the front rank, and here shine for the benefit of all of us. Only a few can, do it, but those few should feel it their duty to do it whenever they can. They should not shirk, nor should they give up easily be cause the going is a little tough. There is too much at stake for shallow reasons or thin excuses. Ater all, one young man raised the Negro group in America to world-wiTle attention. No mat j ter what the sacrifice, it wins worth it. On the other hand, it would be unfair to us not to point out thiat most of our record-break jers seem to be individuals. We j gether very well. In short, we Ido notco-operate, neither in ’ worknor play. Many people question tlhe (amount of tijme and energy put into our grid iron clashes in our schools and do not seem to do things to colleges, but this writer believes it ils a good thing if for no oth 1 er reason than that it is teach I iug the Nergo, on a mass scale, I to work together, intelligently, to work together. The team has (to win. The school knows the value of pulling for the team. The state and section is proud when the championship comes home. An instance of this was having a turkey feast for the | the Virginia State College boys ; first time in five years—a chain pionship feast. Everybody was happy, from President J. M. Gandy, down. If our youth are taught the scientific reason for co-opera tion in their play, we will have a better and stronger group in our racial and national life as these youth go out into the world. It is mainly because those among us who have the spolight today were not taught how to play together, that we work together so poorly. That attitude causes all to suffer, in that we get so few champions, right when we need them the most. A Bank Teaches The Naion The Dunbar National Bank now in its ninth year in Harlem nears the four million dollar mar kin assets and the three milion dollar mark in deposits. It is generally known that the ban khias succeeded, surely and quickly, largely because it has worked sympathetically with the people in the communiey in which it operates. It has pro moted a colored man to the post Manager of the bank's only branch, and has just nnounced, of Assistant Vice-president and for the new year, the promotion of another colored man to the post of Assistant Manager of this branch. In the main office of the bank, many of the em ployes are colored, and these tx-pt. o. Jersey City, N.

Losing Weight ST. LOUIS, MO.—It's pathetic to iee u woman spending hours with aer make-up nnd coiffure, thinking jnly of her fnee, when she careless ly allows her body to acquire the extra pounds that make a bulging waistline and fleshy chin. Before I outline a simple diet [bat should help you lose weight. |et me make one point clear: if you ire considerably overweight, see your doctor to find out If there Is m.v organic cause for this condi tion before you try any strenuous pleting. And I wouldn't advise dieting un less vou are considerably over weight. Fortunately, It Is no long er considered stylish to starve your i gol f for weeks on end in order to ; keep as slender as a rail. Of i course we want to avoid plumpness Ct one extreme, but on the other nnd nmture, graceful curves are belter than boyish slimness. Although It Is not absolutely es lentlal, It Is a good idea to sturt your dieting wdth three days in which you eat nothing but fresh fruit juices and liquids. Drink a glass of sugarless lemonade when tou arise, nnd for breakfast eat an brnnge and coffee without cream nnd sugar. During the day, be sure lo eat plenty of fruits such as un sweetened orange Juice, lemonade, grape fruit, pineapple, or other fresh fruits. Drink plenty of water. The chief purpose of this three* 'day "starvation diet" is not to lose weight rapidly, but to cleanse your system nnd prepare It for the new diet which you should follow after* wa rds. After the fourth day. you can se lect your own foods, nnd even eat rather large meals, hut you must follow these rules religiously: 1. For breakfast, eat fresh fruit, a boiled egg, toast with very little butter, black coffee. 2. For your other menls, eat mostly vegetables — spinach, raw cabbage, turnips, carrots, bents, string beans, celery, lettuce, dande Uon greens, nnd similar vegetables. 3. If you are still hungry, eat fresh fruits. 4. Eat moderate helpings of meat, but don’t eat any fried meats, or any other fried foods. 5. Eat salads with vinegar or lemon Juice instead of fattening sal. ad dressings. 6. Eat clear, uncreamed soups. 7. Drink buttermilk Instead of sweet milk. Buttermilk Is non-fat tening. 8. Do not eat butter, sweets, sugnr, fried foods, pastries such as doughnuts and cakes, rich sauces or dressings; especially, do not eat starches like potatoes, white bread, rice, spaghetti, noodles, etc. Do not eat canned fruits, and don't use cream In your coffee. This diet allows yon enough free dom so you can enjoy yonr meals, and yet, If you follow it carefully, yon will gradually lose weight in a healthy, harmless manner. A few setting-up exercises In the morning, or a brisk walk once or twice a day, will help greatly. partmenbs. he bank’s president, Mr. C. C. Huitt, a man of quiet dig employes range through all de nity hu tof liberal as well as sound views, has said he hopes the record of hi^ institution, Mr. .John I>.
