[|„ » A FORWARD STEP IN LABELING T.'jo National Better Business Bureau has announced the issu ance under drte of March 22, 1939 of a news release from the Association of Cotton Textile Merchant* of New York telling of the adoption of a resolution incor porating recommendations of the National Bureau, the first para graph of which reads as follows: ‘After July 1, 1939 to make no shipments of sheets and pillows cases below first quality grade without pos tive identification on each article to prevent any confusion wilh first quality product.” The names of twenty seven manufacturers arc* listed as sub c nibing to the principles and practices art forth in the recom mendations and the news release further states— “Based on senti ments already expressed, it is ex pected that expressions from oth sheet and pillow case produ cein will be practically^ unani mous in support of their recom mendations. Responsible dealers in wholesale and retail channels of distribution have assured toheir cooperation in making the practice effective.” This culminates a years hard1 work on the part of .the National Better Business Bureau in this field. The first couit-e was to contact the five principle manu facturers of sheets. The coopera tion of those firms was secured and then the smaller manufac turers of unbranded sheets were contacted and therir cooperation secured. Several of the mills them selves got in touch with the As sociation of Cotton T:ott’le Mer chants of New York and the reso lution paralleling the recommen dations of the National Better Business Bureau was passed. While national in scope this ef fort of the National Better Busi ness Bureau is if importance and directly beneficial to every retail or in Omaha. The cooperation of the retailers in this program will make it double effective and ,the same reasoning applies to them that the National Bureau used in its letters to the individual pro ducers. “Our recommendation to you is based upon the promise that Cailure to disclose the fact that sheets are of second quality ha„ the tendency and capacity t)o mislead and de ceive consumers. The dictrine of ‘decepaive concealment' is one which is being read more and more into Federal Trade Com mission rules and orders, and as an agency w'hich endeavors to serve business by promot ing better business consumer relations, we urge the sheet manufacturing industry to aid in protecting his ultimate customers from deception by disclosing ‘seconds’ as such. We urge that this action be taken voluntarily because of a de sire to cooperate with the public in its legitimate demands upon industry rather than to wait until public resentment finds expres sion irt legislation."

Everyone agrees today, that there is more discussion of the Roosevelt for 1940 question than anything else in the field of pol itics and is the subject uppermost in political talk throughout the country. We feel that President Roose velt alone can save the New Deal f>:>m being wrecked and ,hjt re gardless of the President’s per sonal inclination, that be owes it to the country to stay in office for an additional four years. The third term tradition should not bs allowed to prevail against the emergency which the New Dc-al faces. You recognize, of course, from ' the pamphlet enclosed, our aims and purposes. It. is our thought that the President realizes that he is in no position, because of precedent, to ask for a third term however necessary his return in 1940 may be for the economic welfare of the country, and that ho can only obey the voice of the people in .this respect. In other words, we must DRAFT him and through an organization such as ours, crystalize public opinion to that end. Our job is an important | one and must reverse presidential history. Never in the past has it been necessary as now. We intend this organization be available .to the President at the proper time. We are about to increase the number of local clubs throughout the country and we are about to start one in your city. Each state will be encouraged to follow its own procedure. At .the proper time we will resort to radio appeal for mass organization. There is a year ahead; and those who are with us now, will be heading the movement them. Particularly now, we need money and man power for sound organization to carry on this im portant work, and I hope we can count on you for your support. We feel you will give us whatever financial support you can afford. Therefore please send in your membership blank immediately so that we can arrange a club in your city as soon as we have suf ficient returns. We will gladly answer any question.

On June &th, the Marching Club had its first dance at our beautiful Elks Rainbow dance Hall, 2420 Lake St. Those boys under the leadership of Brother Amos Thom as and his aids are really deter mined to put over a worthwhile program. They are fast winding into shape for their competition during our Mid-western associa tion which meets here at our hall on July 2nd to 5th. It's our duty to get behind these boys and give them our whole hearted support. The weather was contrary on this and it spoiled some of the fun, but I am sure thait all had a nice time. On June 7th was election night and to you that are listening in the score is the same. Only changes are Brother Carl Bone, was elected lecturing km'ght, Brother Robert Johnson was elect ed asquire. Girl Bone replaced Redrick Brown. Robert Johnson replaced Nolan Anderson. The re maining personnel of the Iroquois Lodge remains the same and of course Charle8 F.

Our executive accepted the invita tion and got busy and the tele phones began to ring. Elks begin to hoof and every conceivable way to get word to the Herd was put into execution. Naturally we were pushed for time but by the ap pointed time we had a well round ed up Herd. The writer was unable to be there 'being is line of duty that day but they tell me that the jpoquois were well represented and was very much appreciated by their white brothers. The Lodges met and formed their line ef March at 27th and Leavenworth St,, and marched to Hanscom Park, where their activi ties were held. Everybody report ed a very pleasant outing. On Sun day just after itihe parade initiation was held at the hall at; which time nine members were added to the Herd. The Marching Club and the i P. E R.

Although Summer Is not officially here until June 21, this first week of June presents the same problems of beauty care and good grooming which we will have right on through July and August. It requires extra care, time and forethought to look your best In Summer but It can and should be accomplished. Perspiration vs. Daintiness The most grievous sin against summer daintiness Is excessive perspiration. Frequent baths, of course, are an absolute necessity during the Summer months (and all year round for that matter) but soap and water are not proof against offending these blood-boil ing days. No one can be really fas tidious and not use a deodorant. There are excellent preparations on the market which deodorize without Interfering with the natural func tions of the glands. One of these should be applied at least once a day, preferably after bathing. If you are among those who per spire very freely, a non-persplrant may be necessary to correct the con dition. Otherwise a good deodor ant may be used to advantage. These preparations come In dif ferent strengths and you should read the directions carefully before applying. A non-persplrant is a boon to th$ fastidious woman in any season and saves a great deal ef wear and tear on your clothes. Perfumed Pick-Upe Once you have taken care of the fundamentals of summer daintiness —at least one bath a day and regu lar use of a deodorant or non-per spirant—there are any number of Calvin's Newspaper Service TESTED RECIPE —Jy JF routes Lae Berlem WOMEN may be famed aa lorers of chocolate candy, but when it comes to chocolate Ice cream, choco late cake, and chocolate pud dins, the male of the speciea demands recog nition.

And in this battle against per spiration, don’t forget thRt your head, too, perspires more freely in Summer. Wash your hair oftener in Summer, if possible every week or ten days, to prevent that sticky, stringy look that we see all-too often. Be sure to use a good shampoo. Make a complete change of cloth ing dally. Never put anything away without airing it thoroughly over night. Try to limit your wardrobe to washables so that you will feel free to wash out a whole day’s costume after one wearing.

Lumber Worker Shot, Burned and Body Thrown in River For Ob jecting to $5.50 Deduction from Pay New York, June 8—The hot-iron torture lynching of Joe Rodgers, lumber worker and respected citi zen of Canton, Missippi, on May 8, was revealed here today by the National Association for The Ad vancement of Colored People, fol lowing receipt of an investigation mans report. According to the investigator's report Rodgers, a deacon in Can ton’s M'.i. Zion Baptist Church, was shot, tortured by hot irons, brut ally cut, and his body thrown into tho Pearl River by a foreman of a local limber mill where he was employed. He was lynched, the report said because he refused to accept a weekly deduction of $5.50 from his wages in payment for renting a company owned cabin wh'ch he did occupy. The lynching represents the fifth in the United States for 1939 and the first in Mississippi this year. It followed by nine months the lynching of Claude Banks, in the same town, July 21, 1938. Banks was the innocent vic tim of a white mob which was seeking suspects in the killing of a white man. The lynching of Rodgeas has brought no arrests, no publicity from 'the local papers, and an or der from town officials advising local citizens to refrain from dis cussing the crime, despite the fact that the m;ll worker’s bodiy has been recovered from the river and given a decent burial. The text of the investigator's report follows: “On the eight of May at Canton Miss., a Negro named Joe Rodgers was lynched. He was a workman at a lumber mill and was nomieu by his foreman that he had to live in the m'll quarters. He re fused to obey these orders. How ever, the company deducted from his weekly wages the sum of $5.50 for rent just as if he were living in the mill quarters. This Rodgers protested and asked for hU full payment. His foreman struck him with a shovel and Rodgers struck h’-m back with one whereupon he was captured, tied hand and foot shot, tortured with red hot irons and cut and the body throwm into the Pearl River. ‘The body was recovered from the river three days later and held in 'the funeral parlors of People’s Funeral Home at Can ton, Miss. He was later buried at Forest, Miss. “This man was a deacon of Mt Zion Baptist Church at Canton, president of the church choir and had a splendid record in every way. The newspapers of Canton hove not written a word and there have been no arrests made. The Negroes have been told not to discuss the incident. “The sheriff of Canton is C. H. James. The mayor of the town is C. N. Harris.” Other lynchings during 1939 listed by the NAACP follow: February—Eldora, Ark., Walter Lee Frazier, alleged have moles ed white couples—shot. March—Woodcliff, Ga., Charley Williams, accused of having said “something to a white woman that she didn’t like,” was snatched from a freight train and hanged. April 1—Panama City, Florida. Miles W.
