on YOU REMEMBER?

On Saturday June 19 1939 two
long shots made their appearance
in the winning circle. One for 90.80
•nd one for $48.80 to place. That
ia real (money on any man’s race
track. Some fans never play a
horse that is over 5 to 1. They
seem to think that if a horse has
got juicy odds he or she can’t
win. Fans, the public make the
prices, not the mutuals, so it
makes no difference what the
price ia if you like the horse play
the animal. Your choice is just
as good as the other fellow. I
have seen owners bet $50 dollars
on their horse to win and the
horse finish out of the money be
cause no man that got breath in
his body knows what a horse is
going to do. All that a owner can
truthfully tell anybody, is that
his horse is ready to win because
fthere is 144 ways legitimate that
horses can lose a race. I hear race
fans get sore ai touts after all
Ho is guessing just like you. If
you take his suggestion in a race
and the horse wins, you think he
you want to call the police so my
suggestion is that you pick your
is smart. If he picks a losen then
own then you will feel more con
tent eith r way your horse comes
in. Here is a little hint to horse
players. You take races that is
one mile and one sixteenth or
ever very seldom that a mare or
’ a fillie wins one of these long
races unless she is in company of
one of her own sex. Nine times
out of ten races a gelding or a
horse will ou last a fillie or a
■ ■ --- I
)mare going over a distance of
ground. You know it has been
many a year since n female won
the Kentucky Derby or any big
stake. They just haven’t got the
stamina. Discovery, Gallant Fox,
Man of War, War Admiral, Sea
Biscuit, even the great horse,
Joihnstown. they are all male hor
ses. So you see that why you lose
bets on those last races. Some long
shots always beat you because
the best looking horse on form
is always a female horse. Here
is the last year winners for June
11, 1938.

EDUCATOR DESERTS CLASS
ROOM, TURNS DAIRYMAN,
WINS SUCCESS IN 18 MONTHS
Atlanta, June 22 (ANP)—Read
ing like a page from a Horatio
Alger story, the remarkable suc
cess achieve*! in 18 months by l)r.
Wilfred B. Nathan has caused a
stir in Georgia educational circles
and given new meaning to the
theory that real economic indepen
dence for the Negro is to be found
on the farm.
Just 18 months ago, Dr. Nathan
39 professor of four degrees earn
ed in this country and Europe,
and a native of Jamaica, British
West Indies, was serving as dean
of education at Atlanta university.
For 11 years he hud been telling
students of the possibilities of the
Negro in agriculture, of the

tion pictures at Elks hall,

boundless resources of nature and
of the proved ability of Negroes
to excel in any line of endeavor
that wholeheartedly claims their
attention and interest.
Suddenly Dr. Nathan quit his
position at Atlanta U„ took up
dairy farming, set about methodi
cally to prove some of his class
room utterances and put into prac
tice his theory that in agriculture
and stock raising a man can make
himself economically independent.
From an original investment of
$33,000—about $25,000 in cash,
the rest in mortgage loans and
other credit—Dr. Nathan has de
velop'd in a year and a half mod
ernly equipped, 100 acre, 90-cow
dairy valued at $00,000. He has
met all his obligations, earned a
satisfactory salary for himself,
furnished profitable employment
to 17 workers and provided good
living conditio»i for five families.
Located just five miles outside
of Atlanta, Dr. Nathan’s dairy
plant has a $3,500 deep-well water
system, modern sterilization sys
tem, a $3,000 refrigeration plant,
filter room, laboratory room for
buter fat test and bacteria analy
ses and many other improved de
vices needed by the modern dairy
men. Dr. Nathan has accomplish
ed all this despite the fact he had
no previous training in farming,
no practical experience in comnv r
cial production of dairy products.
But, by having a clear objective
and a determination to achieve it,
Dr. Nathan has learned many
things about dairy farming—that
it requires close attention and su
pervision, a thorough system,
knowledge of animal husbandry,
feed crop production, land ferti
lization and improvement and
many other farm rules, that once
learned, spell the difference be
tween success and failure.
Last week, Dr. Nathan com
1 mented on his successful farm
| venture, in part as follows: “With
the proper training, the Negro is
able to do anything that anybody
else can. It is quite possible for
us to become a productive race,
because we have the strength am'
ability to work. What is needed
is an exodus of trained youth from
our economic and industrial in
stitutions that will take the ini- .
tiative creating small economic
units that will provide work for i
killed and unskilled people.”

OFFFICIAL SHOWS HOW
MISSTATEMENTS DISCREDIT
WORK OF WPA
MOST COMPLAINTS, AFTER
INVESTIGATION. FOUND
TO BE GROUNDLESS
Washngton, D. C. June 22
(ANP)—Discussing on Friday the
subject ‘Do WPA Worker8 Refuse
Jobs in Private Industry?” How
ard O. Hunter, WPA deputy ad
ministrator, declared the public
is often misled by complaints of
individuals that WPA-ers are
“shovel leaners” and ‘If anyone of
fers them a job, they turn it down
quicker than they can straighten j
up from the shovel handle.”
As a case in point, the deputy
administrator stated that Collier’s
magazine had published part of a
letter from a Mr. J. C. Richaber
ger of Vinton, Texas, which com
plained that a friend of the writer
had tried to hire a woman named

Wane to do housework, but coutd

i WPA sewing project at $40 a
nonth. Also her daugher a WPA
;r, was getting $38 a month; her
son, in the CCC, was getting $30
a month, and her husband, Miguel
was working for relief at $12 a
week.
Mr. Hunter stated, “Our inves
tigator tracked down the man who
was supposed to have discovered
the family in the story, and he
said it had happened to him, it
was just sort of legend in the dis
trict ,based on something which
was supposed to have happened
several years ago before there was
any WPA in existence. He couldn’t
give the names of the original
cases or of any others. The whole
thing had just been ‘a good Story.’
That was all.”
Another complaint came in the
form of a telegram signed by six
men and sent from Dexeter, Ga.,
declaring that farmers in that sec
tion were threatened with loss of
crops because WPA had all sur
plus labor. “The grain was falling
down in the fields and the grass
was taking the crops. Couldn’t
some arrangement be made to get
WPA labor back to the farms?”
Mr. Hunter sam tne inquiry re
vealed the following: “The six
gentlemen were visited by an in
vestigator right off the bat. Three
of them were very much surpris
ed. They said they’d never signed
any such telegram. All said there
was no shortage at the present.
None of them needed workers. As
for the man who really sent the
telegram—a Mr. Clayton Nichol- •
son—he was out of town and could
not be reached. The investigator
asked his wife, ‘Did he need any
workers?’ No, he had needed some
the year before, but didn’t want
any now, So, with all the stories.
They are told by someone who has
an axe to grind. They are a form
cf wish-fulfillment.”

Hollywood, June 24 (ANP) —
While preparations were going
forward for the production of “The

Well baseball fans, that old ball
game started off like it was go

white team in the very first inn-,

to make 3 runs not earned by the
sweat of their brow. Boy wasn’t

The colored boys didn’t score. It
looked bad for them again. All
of a sudden about 8 beautiful

went. Why the boys run in 11
runs before the hail storm put a
halt to activities. Then came back j
in the 5th to run in 3 more. Why
they batted around 2 times. The

CHAPTER III
Our Heroine is talking with Carl
Smith, who has finally succeeded in
getting a conversation with her.
She is relating to him her past
life. It seems they have found
something congruent in each other.
Go on with the story
“Did he deliberately kill your
baby?” asked Carl.
“No . . . not deliberately. You
see the plane crashed . . . and he
and my baby were both killed in
the wreckage . .. after that my life
wasn’t worth living. I almost drift
ed into ruination . . . I . . . I . . ”
She interrupted her statement
with silence and wiped her eyes.
Carl sat in a daze and pondered
listlessly until the train’s echoing
whistle sounding in the distance,
aroused him.
“You know, there is something
about you—something that makes
me want to know you better,” he
said.
Willa smiled slowly as Carl’s ex
pression changed. “I’m sorry we’ll
have to part at the end of this
trip,” he finished.
“Where’re you going?” she
asked.
‘New York.”
“Why, that’s where I’m going;
but not ’till tonight. I’m going to
spend the day in Washington.”
“Where’ll you live in New York?”
he asked.
“I don t know exactly. I think
[’ll be on Morningside Drive to
morrow unless they make ...”
She turned pale as some unwar
ranted information narrowly es
caped her lips. Carl stared at her
questioningly.
“What’s the matter? Unless who
makes what?” he asked.
“Oh nothing,” was the soft mys
terious reply. He realized further
questioning would be distasteful,
and he wrote her name and address
in his memorandum book.
“Oh look! There are the Blue
Ridge Mountains!” she exclaimed.
“That’s a beautiful sight!” he
marveled. “As far as the eye can
see, nothing but hills, finger-waved
by God; some tip-toeing to hide
their heads among the pallid clouds,
please excuse me, I’ve got to go. I
feel a poem.”
She smiled as he arose to take
his former seat.
The train continued to rumble
through the region of the moun
tains as they Doth observed the
scenic beauty. She turned about
after a bit and saw him slip his
fountain pen on the inner pocket
of his coat, fold an envelope and
put it into his vest pocket.
“Let’s see it,” she asked.
“You wouldn’t appreciate it now.
It’s in the rough. If you want to
see some of my poetry, you may
look at this one."
He handed her a newspaper clip
ping from his pocket. She read it
carefully and remarked: “Oh this
is wonderful! Give it to me.”
“It’s the only copy I have and
I can’t get that paper again. It’s
out of date. I keep a scrap book
of all my works."
“You have lots of others already
published. It looks like you could
spare me this one.”
Her lips parted with a tempting
smile as something within him
seemed to snap. ,
“Oh alright, you can have it.” >
“Autograph it for me.”
“Say, you act like I am a genius
or some well established celeb,”
he smiled pulling out his fountain
pen and scribbling his name on the
bottom of the clipping.
“Maybe you are, and modesty j
prevents you from telling me,” she
returned with a challenge. Ha
smiled and handed her the auto
graphed slip of paper.
The train rolled into the Wash
ington, D.C. terminals. “I’ll call you
in New York,” he said and left for
the New York bound limited. Ha
arrived that afternoon and secured
his room and went out to get some
thing to eat. At twilight he return
ed and dressed to go out on th®
streets of Harlem for the first
time.
As he walked down Seventh Ave.
near 135th St., he marveled at the
boulevard crowded with racing ve
hicles and noisy buses and peopla
flitting racily up and down tha
side walks as if late for some des
tination which meant life or death.
sporting women witn laces paint
ed like marionettes and clad in ono
piece dresses and wearing no stock
ings, stood in door-ways and on the
side walks smoking cigarettes, hop
ing to get the eye of some mascu
line prey.
As he reached 134th St., two
girls approached him. They walked!
swiftly. He didn’t notice them at
first. Then he heard a voice:
“Hello Mr. Carl." He turned with
surprise and recognized Willa.
“What on earth are you doinj?
here so soon? I thought you wero
not going to leave Washington ’til
tonight.”
“I thought so too; but I changed!
my mind, and caught the next train
out after you left. What are you
doing over here in this section of!'
New York?” ,
“Oh just scanning with an au
thor’s eye. What are you dointf,
here ? ”
