Much progress has been made in improving the health, find in increasing he life span. °f the American Negro, yet last year Negroes spent over *10,000,000 fkr patent .medicines Many Colored people, fearing that they have the symptoms of some chrt-nic disease such as can cer, tuberculosis or syphilis, be lieve that if they were to go to a doctor it would mean repeated visits the cost of which they could not afford. Rather than see a physiician, many unenlightened people rely upon worthless nostrums fcr the treatment of these diseases. These people are willing to let the man_ ufacturers of patent medicines diagnose in advance, and treat with omplete assurance, almost every disease that afflicts human beings. - Many in the patent meflfcine industry are guilty of the econo mic fraud of selling drugs under meaningless or fantastic names, with absurd claims of special merit, These drugs with some ex ceptions. are injurious only to the extent that they drain from slim purses the dimes and *iua rters neded for bread, meat and milk. There are in America today, over -1,000 Colored physicians 2, 000 dentists, 300 osteopath 5,000 graduate trained nurses. 11*0 Ne gro hospital)* arsd training schools, and 717 Negro owned and operated drugsfc. res. If tl*e many millions af Colored people throughout the . country had spent the larger portion of this $10,000,000 with their own physician;, they would have bene fited by getting the proper med ical attention, and at the same time they would have been pro tected against products which might endanger their lives. -O Patronize Your Own Phy sician Patronize your own physican.

Nebr., August 4-—The Nebraska Unemployment Compen sation division is busy this week recording second quarter payroll contributions from 3,300 Nebras ka employers, who are subject to » ■■MMWHaaHMH* the law because they -employ eight or more workers. July 31 was the delinquent date tr re orting contributions and workers', wage reports. R. T. Malone, director of the division, announced t' Hay nihat a large majority of employers had font, in their reports prior to the deliqueot date. Malone stated that the prompt reporting of so many 'conaributions demonstrated a high degree of co-operation by Ne braska employers in complying with the saw’s provisions. Whether this promptness was uo to greater familiarity with the j state law' or to improved business conditions over the state, the fact remairtl that fewer employers are now delinquent than at the close of the last quarter of 1938. Second quarter reports cover the months of April, May and June. Reports filed after July 31 will draw a penalty of one percent per month, according to the law. Immediate actim will be taken by the Unemployment Compensa tion divjsii n force to secure ro_ ports from these employers, now listed as delinquents. Estimated, collections for th» second quarter will amount to approximately one million dollars. 0n July 28, with $250,381, of this amount contributed, the Nebraska Unemployment Q mpensation Re serve Fund totalled $5,279,339. ments available for paying bene fits to Unemployed covered Work ers of Nebraska, after January 1, 19.59, when benefit payments start. G ntributior-s fo rthe first quarter of 1938 totalled $911,105. LOSE I5ATTLE WITH DEMONS Sedalia, Mo.

The bund might conceivably finance such a campaign by Negrc.es, and this was a possibility investigated by the special representative from Washington, who came to Chicago to collect data for presentation to the Dies investigation committee. Leaders point out that because they are both minority groups with many common interests, Negroes and Jews should be united on a common front. The bund would find it difficult to eobat a Semitic* Negro affiliation, whereas with tho tw'o minority groups split, it w'iuld be a simple problem for the burd to help one group ‘kill off” the other, then marshall its entire forces against the survivors. That Negroes have been singled out by Jewish merchants and real estate holders for exploitation, as colored anti-Semitic leaders insist is called absurd by leaders. It has also been pointed out that the race has benefitted greatly from the be nefactions of Jewish philanthro pists, like Julius Rosenwald, who ha'e provided schools, YMCA and YWCA’s and scholarships for col ored Americans. The Dies committee in Wash ington will not only investigate activities of the German American Bur.d and Negro anti-Semitic cam paigns, but will also probe “all un American activities and prepagan i_ »» rtL : — tc....M utti vuai» *v*• He announced last week the ear ly investigations of the committee have thus far “startled”, him by revealing a “growing hatred in the United States between races* clas ses and to some exent, creeds” “I menti n this fact because I am sure our committee will be very careful to avoid anythin gthat might increase hatred in the Uni ted States” the Texan said. “What is needed is more tolerance be tween races, classes and creeds and an understanding of other man’s circumstances and viewpoints ” -—0 80 JEWS DIE IN CAMP Londcn Aug- 18 (CNA)—-More than eighty Jews died in the Buchenwald concentration camp near Weimar during July, accord ing to reliable sources this week. The Jews were transported to the campt from various towns throughout the Reich, on trumped up charges usually. WHAT MAKES A LYNCHING,. MAGAZINE AUTHOR TELLS HOW New York, Aug. 18— What makes a lynching possible? The? question is answered effectively by George Leighton in the second anil final installment of his story of an American city, Omaha Ne braska, appearing in the current, issuo of Harpers magazine. In a straightforward and mov ing account of the forces behind tho rise and fall and alter lame & tempt at a conuback of this mid western railroad center since the eighteen-nineties, Leighton in cludes an account of the lynching of Will Brown, a packing house; worker in Omaha during the latter part of September 1919 for ar* alleged attact on Agnes Lobeck a white woman. Carefully he builds up the back ground of this case, showing the political corruption that included ccntrol of organized vice, the part played by so-called respectable business men of the town, railroad barons, the giant utilities with their headquarters in the east, tho monopolistic meatpaekers with their main offices in Chicago. AU these forces, aided by th© Omaha. Bee pushed a press campaign of ' slander accusing them of attack ing whites that culminated in the lynching of Brown and thc. Mayor of the Town, Leighton says lit his article. Leighton makes it clear that it is not racial hatred, but the desire for fat profits built up on the backs of prostitutes and sweat shop labor, tnd th© crushing of organized labor through organized corrupt politicians that accounted for the lynching of Will Brown back in 1919. •-o COLORED MEDIC MEETS WITH WHITE DOSTORS TO STUDY INSURANCE PLAN York Pa.
