worrfm of different racial back
grounds
In the matter of pictures, both
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt
have been most gracious. 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.

Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On
No matter how many medicine*
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take a chance
with anything less than Creomul
sion, which goes right to the seat
of the trouble to aid nature to
soothe and heal the inflamed mem
branes as the germ-laden phlegm
ts loosened and expelled.
Even if other remedies have
failed, don’t be discouraged, your
druggist is authorized to guarantee
Creomulsion and to refund your
money if you are not satisfied with
results from the very first bottle.
Get Crecmulsion right now. (Adv.)
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

Manager of the bank's only

of Assistant Vice-president and

of another colored man to the
post of Assistant Manager of

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.

90.000 new members carrying $108,
123.000 in gross new business. More
than 3,000 camps played a part in
