War Threatens
If war comes row it will he
thrust upon a world that does not
want war. Even the puppet na
tions, struggling under the heels,
of dictators, are not as anxious
to fight as they pretend. The rea
son is the cost of war is too
frightful. There are on longer any
illusions about dying in mud waist
deep, or being buried standing up.
War might give the sagging eco
nomic system a lift; but that is
all. We all know' it would be an
artificial boost, to be followed by
a worse callaspe later. So we
might as well try to figure our
way out of this dilema, as to have
a worse one with which to con
tend.
Nobody knows what the sabre
rattling dictators are going to do,
finally. All a sorely tried world
can do is watch and wait.
In the selection of Dr. L. II. King
to run for Congress in Harlem, a

Beware Kidney
Germs if Tired,
Nervous, Aching
Are you Run Down. Nervous, suffer Aching
or Swollen Joints? Do you Oet Up Nights, or
suffer from Burning Passages, Frequent
Headaches. Leg Pains, Backache. Dizziness,
Puffy Eyelids, Loss of Appetite and Energy?
If so, the true cause often may be germs
developed In the body during colds, or by
bad teeth or tonsils that need removing.
These germs may attack the delicate mem
b’xnes of your Kidneys or Bladder and often
cause much trouble. Ordinary medicines
can't help much because they don't fight the
germs. The doctor’s formula Oystex, now
stocked by nil druggists, starts fighting Kid
ney germs In 3 hours and must prove entirely

major constructive move has been
made. Dr. King is an able man, he
bas behind him a career of achieve -
ment. In Ha.4! m, it is not so much
party politic,, as it is to get a Ne
gro in Congress that the public
is concerned about. For the pre_
sent wo i1 mmend suspending
party lin'-s and working whole- *
heartedly to put Dr. King over. We |
believe he w 11 give all Harlem i
the representation it needs, and we ;
do not believe his representation
will bo tinged by party partisan

a Negro Congress. The race at
largo needs it as well as Harlem.
More I’«y Increases
Tbj indefatigable leader of the
United Government Employes, Ed
gar G. Brown has now struck out
for $1,000,000 increase for the
3,000 low-paid workers of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Appearing be
fore the District Commissioners on 1
Monday, September 12, Mr. Brown |
asked that 3,000 workers be given
consideration to the extend of add
ing $1,000,000 to the District bud
get, so that school and hospital
custodians and orderlies, street
sweepers, ash collectors, garbage
removers and thousands of inter,
mittent per djem wortiers—that
these people be given a five day
week and regular status on the
annual roll with sick leave and an
nual leave as others in the federal
service.
The UGE has already set an en
viable record in guining increases
for low-pa ill Federal workers, no
tably in the Department of the In
terior. May they be sccessful in
this latest attempt.
Yt'mg Mpn Up
The Baptist conclave in St. Louis
brought two militant young men
into the spotlight—Rev. A. Clay
tor Powell Jr., of New York and
Attorney Joseph A .Booker of Chi
cago. Rev. Powell, leader in the
labor fight in Harlem which has
been successful in winnnig many
new jobs, was one of the principal
speakers of th. convention. Mr.
Booker, son o fa distinguished
Arkansas educatof, was one of the
main speakers before the laymen’s
section. Dr. L. K. Williams who is
an inspiration to youth, was re
elected president of the convention
for the 17th consecutive time. Bup_
tist affairs are still in progressive
hands.
Nr.tieral Resources
Varying ir terpretation are beinq;
placed on tho figures released 1 y
tho National Resources Committee.
The Negro Labor News Serviro
of New York points out that: The
Committee’s figures also show that
42 per cent of the families of the
country are getting under $1,000 a
year. This is certainly a powerful
indictmmt of capitalism. Experts
tell the technical knowledge and
tho available man-power to turn
out an average of $5,000 a year
for every family in the country.
Yet we are falling far short of
that figure which engineering sci
ence makes possible, simply and
solely because ur.dev capitalism
there has been a complete failure
to distribute to the workers and
farmers the purchasing power ne
cessary to keep our industries go
ing at anything near full blast.”
This is something to think about,
indeed.

D. J.—I am writing you to find
out if there is any way that you
or anyone else 'can break up my
son from this other woman? I
am worried to death?
Ans; There isn’t anything that
I tan do or anything anyone else
could do to make hint give up the
woman he feels he is in love with.
Try not to become involved in the
affair for it will certainly end up
in a family fuss. It’s likelyl that
ho will see his mistake later on.

next door to me is she a friend?

she ?

that she is taking advantage of
you in any way for she isn’t.
D. L. K. Will my mama ever
leave my husband ard my business
alone ?
Ans: Yes, but she is the type of
person who worries continually a
bout something and your affairs
seem to prey on her mind. Don’t
hold any hard feelings against
your mother for her faults—try
to overlook it and give her noth
ing to worry about.
E. M.—I am planning on leav
ing town and 1 want to know if
it would be a good idea or not ?

kGAIN ASKS CLEMENCY IN
SCOTTSBORO CASE
Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 22 (A
NP)—Attorney General A. A.
Carmichael was requested Friday
by Morris Shapiro, Sctossboro De
fense committee counsell, to set
a dato for hearing pardon appli.
cations on behalf of Andy Wright
Charlie Weems and Clarence Nor
ris. However, Qov. Graves, who
is in Washington, will probably
set the date as is his custom.
Pardons were asked for the
boys recently in a hearing before
the pardon board. At that time
the state refused to recomnv'nd
pardons for Haywood Patterson
and Ozle P well and said pleas
for Norris Weems and Wright,
wero "prematurely made” since
time for appeals had rot expired.
THE LOW DOWN FROM
HICKORY GROVE
Old jokes or new jokes or any
kind, of , ajoke, I like them. If
they are old enough, I have for
gotten them, and they are new a
gain. And anyway, nobody got in- j
digestion from a
joke.
And my neigh
bor, he is kinda
comical at times,
and I guess he
j thinks maybe I
am a good guy to
| try his jokes on, i
!so he says Jo, did E
^ you)'hear about a Jo*' Serra
feller who gold his 10 thousand
dollar dog? And I says, no.
Well, he says, this dog looked
like 2 bits but the feller held his
price at 10 thousand—but he did
not sell him. And then one day
ho rushed home and he said, I sold
tho dog. But when he was pinned
down he said is wasn’t exactly 10
thousand in cash—it was kind of
a trade—he got 2 nice five thou
sand dollar cats.
So I says, were the cats sure
enough worth 5 thousand? And
our neighbor, he took a long
breath and he looked out the win
dow and far away and he says, Jo,
I see now why some of our elect
ions turn out sofunny.
