ARE YOU ONLY A.
THREE-QUARTER WIFE?
EN. because they are men. can
never understand a three
quarter wife—a wife who is all love
and kindness three weeks in a
month and a bell cat the rest of
the time.
No matter how your back aches
—how your nerves scream—don't
take it out on your husband.
For three generations one woman
has told another how to go "smil
ing through” with Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound. It
helps Nature tone up the system,
thus lessening the discomforts from
the functional disorders which .
women must endure in the three
ordeals of life: I. Turning from
girlhood to womanhood. 2. Pre
paring for motherhood. 3. Ap
proaching “middle age."
Don't be a three-quarter wife,

American Negro Is
Growing Competitor
New Orleans, A;■ II 30 (By James
F. Bozeman for (ANP)—Through
out 10,000 mile tour of Dixie, I
find the 80 percent of our dark
brethren who yet call Dixie home
are in many ways growing into
what can be considered a commer
cial Competitor. Along the great
Gulf coast and deep into bordering
states are found, where state high
ways lead, filling stations intelli
gently operated by Negroes and
patronized by all races. In Galves
ton, Tex., J point with pride to the!
Webb Furniture store in the heart
of the uptown (white) business!
in fact, over 50 perci nt of his
district and der.ling with all races,
business comes from whites. In
Pensacola, Fla., you will find the
Negro ic ecream king of American,
Ernest,. Singleton, whoe.s company
supplies the entire na.vy at Pen
sacola with ice cream, and he is
the leading man in his field re
gardless of color.
As a land ownei' and real estate
| dealer as well as farmer, the deep
south Negro is gradually catching
his stride in the struggle for some
thing of his own. The economic de
pression taught a valuable lesson
that no college nor university could
offer. Land owned by our race in
Yazoo County. Miss alone is valu
ed at more than $3,941,596, and
buildings at $1.600,234. Twelve
other counties in the deep South
exceed Yazoo in acres of land
owned by Negroes.
T. J. Huddleston, Sr., fraternal
leader in the Delta, is said to own
more than 2.500 acres of the richest
farm land in th • world, more than
Delta land than any other individ
ual in America. The new Ameri
can bvanzemoon is beginning to
bran b off into every line of busi
ness and receives the support of all
men whenever the right technique
is applied. No, not “Uncle Tom”
stuff, but pure business efficiency.
If you should visit such places :
as Natchez. Miss., Columbus, Ga.J
and Orowlev, I>a., you would be
amazed to find so much downtown,
property owned by Negroes and in
most cases rented by white busi- j
ness whenever there is an excess
amount. I could bring to you sever- j
al other such situations in the ■
South where most people think of
the Negro only as the ex-slave;
found in the cotton field or the |
log cabin. Negro business leagues j
are fast growing into prominence,
educating the business man.

This was announced by W. r*.
Day. Exiiosition Vice President
and Director of Works. Simulta
neously in New York General
Electric engineers announced their
new tubular fluorescent lamp to
the world. New “cool” light sour
ces, producing colors rivaling the
rainbow, are made possible by the
ew lamp and will have their
lirst large scale outdoor applicu
ion at California's $60,000,000
Exposition.
Twenty-three hundred of these
.ew, revoltionary lighting tubus
will be used in specially designed
floodlights for providing colored
Rumination of the walls in the
Court of the Moon. Court of Re
flection^ Court of the Seven Seas,
Court of Flolwers and other loca
tions, according to A. F. Dicker
ion, Manager of Genearl Electric’s
illuminating laboratory and Il
luminating Engineer of th Exposi
tion.
The possibilities of colored il
' lumimi.tion in exterior use are
greatly multiplied by the devel
opment of this new fluoresent
tube,” Dickerson said.
Efficiencies in terms of colored
light have been stepped up in some
cases as much as 1(H) to 1. Under
this new light the walls of the
■ourts will become luminous and
irridesent in color shades and
toros which heretofore have been
artist’s dreams that seemed beyond
practical accomplishment. For the
first time we are able to mix
lights as we do paints and pro
duce the theatrical results on large
irons as a reasonable cost that
Dive been limited in the past to
the stage due to the expense."
Fluoresent powders compounded
and specially heat-treated in the
company's Nela Park laboratories
hold th” secret of the e'f;"ior,i.,v
and color-producing qualities of
the new light argon ga* as low
pressure and a conting of fluores
cent powders, selected a .ml blend
ed to produce the color of light
desired,
When erurent is applied, the ar
goun servos as a “starter” and in
a fraction of a second « feeble
blue light with a large component
of invisible ultra-violet radiation is
generated inside the tube. This
radiation stiikls the fluorescent
coating and is re-radinted in the
visible range of spectrum. Each
powder has its own characteristic
wave-band with ihs responds to
the ultra-violet, thus forming its
own particular color of emitted
'ight.

Mrs. Roosevelt:_
(Continued from Page One)
roorru rememined for the thing
v hich is better done than the
average, and there is always
room for the person who can do
a better job than the average
person; and anyone in a minority
group has got to strive to do a
better job. not just for himself as
an individual, but because it is
going to help the whole group
that he belongs to and because it
is going to have an effect os what
■’ll the others are doing to be able
to do; and every time we fai.l
every time we do not our best,
rve don’t help if we did ourselves
down, we let down all the others
thot, might help if we did our best
and if we did succeed.
“So, in making your plaee, i*
seeking the place which you cau
hold a position she has got to be
better than a man would be whs
would be going t.O hold that same
position; ar.>l if she fails she is
not going to fail alone, just as an
individual, but is going to hurt
ether women who try to hold that
mine position for a long time. I
think we women have learned that
that is the case.
“Minority groups are in very
much the same position that
women are in. There is always
fill in the community, remember
that it will require the best that
is in you. It will require you to
do the' best, while you are here, in
preparation. It will require you to
learn all you can of practical
things, of academic things; but,
above everything else, it will re
quire character. No one can suc
ceed without character. It is the
most important preparation that
any of us can have, to learn to
control ourselves and to force our
selves to do the best that is in
us, instead of be:ng content to get
by. A great many of the young
people who came to my house
frequently tell me that they are
all right in school or in college—
oh, yes, they get by—and I a ways
long to tell them that thew may
get by in college in their examin
ations or with their felLof stu
dents who are their fellow stu
in life it is not good enough to get
by. You will have to do a great
deal hotter than that, if you are
going to contribute something to
the community in which you live
and to the demoerack which today
is o ntrial as a form of govern
ment in the world.”
At the conclusion of the ad
dress, while the audience was giv
ing Mrs. Roosevelt an ovation, a
young woman student presented
her with a mammoth bouquet. Be
fore she could conclude her
thanks, group of students uncover
ed the stand before which 'she
had been speaking. It was, un
known to her, a replica of the desk
used by Washington in New York
—said to be a gift from General
Lafayette.
Made in the Hampton Institute
Trade School, President Howe
presented it to her and President
Roosevelt.
The Rev. Dr. Chester B. Emer
son. for the Board of Trustees,
delivered a brief but impressive
charge to the classes which will
graduate next month.
Immediatey after the exercises
in Ogden Hall, Mrs. Roosevelt was
taken to a reviewing stand, erect
ed for her, and witnessed “Re
treat” by the battalion, the cadets
passing in review before her.
Mrs. Roosevelt’s coming brought
a most notable party from the
North and other points in the
country, including the wife of the
Secretary of the Treasury, Mrs.
Henry W. Morgenthau, Jr,; Prep,
and Mrs. H. N. McCracken of
Vassal' College, Mrs. Malvinia
Schrider and Mr. and Mrs. George
Bye of Washington D. C. This
anniversary was one of the great
est in the history of Hampton* In
stitute.
