It is an “unwritten law” to
keep Negro officers out of the

As for attending service schools,
the excuse is made that there i"
no money available for transpor

rent from the same post to tho

How To Relieve
Bronchitis
Bronchitis, acute or chronic, is an
Inflammatory condition of the mu
cous membranes lining the bronchial
tabes. Creomulsion goes right to the
■eat of the trouble to loosen germ
laden phlegm, increase secretion and
aid nature to soothe and heal raw,
tender, inflamed bronchial mucous
membranes. Tell your druggist to sell
you & bottle of Creomulsion with the
understanding that you are to like

Unfair Responsibility
Referring to scout cars granted
the Ninth and Tenth since 1935
and under commend of a privat -
f,rt;i. .lass', Pierce declares, “It is
unfair for a man rated at $30 to
$40 monthly to have to assu're
the responsibility of a $23,(XK)
fully equipped scout car, while
not less than $150 monthly r
among white* an officer drawing
r,-spoils,ble tor a $10,000 airplane.
Property value in dollars and
cents should be as important to
the government trom one angle
as from another. To pla e this
Obligation cn a man without d-Je
rocognit on i* unjust.
“In Ninth cavalry promotions,
IO.. i.xample, they have been held
down to the point of longevity
rather than for efficiency. This
ha;; been true through u!l Negro
regiments. Promotions have come
from likes and dislikes. This Iw
reduced the morale of the regi
ments and has caused the army
to lose good .nen who would have
been an asset.”
[h the Seventh corps area it
is an unwritten law that no Ne
gro from the regular army can
receive a reserve commission,
Pierce savs. He and another sol
dier, ITivate Carl Russell, tried
it and were turned down on
physical qualifications ‘‘with
enough defects to make each of
us a corpse.” Others have been
rejected 'because of mental and
technical qualifications.
To War in 30 Days
Despite the pitiful lack oi
training the Ninth will l>e given
exactly 30 days to get ready for
the firing line whenever war
comes, according to official or
ders. Meanwhile, without colored
officers the policy of suppression
continues. Pierce says that Lieut.
Col. T. F. Limbooker, executive
officer of the Ninth bases all his
decisions on racial attitudes and
the belief that ‘a Negio is not
equal to a white 'man.'
From 1930-'35, colored regi
ments were denied the right of
promotions except for one or two
in the upper brackets. The lily
white air corps was formed and
grades taken from colored units
to make room for white soldiers,
with the result that the total of
Negroes enlisted dropped “from
6,000 in 1931 to less than 3,OHO
today.”
‘‘Why are not Negro regilrents
moved from such prejudiced areas
as those in wihieh they aie now
placed?" he asks. “Why is it

CLOSE-UP ON CLOTHES
With the first touch of chill in the
,iir, most of ms are beginning to
think about full clothes. There are
so many attractive tilings in the
shops that it Is hard to make a
choice. A number of new shades
have made their appearance this
full, purples, greens, reds and the
winter blues. For tills reason tlie
wise woman will carefully plan her
entire wardrobe before she plunges
Into a shopping spree. If you start
without u definite scheme worked
out, you ore likely to find yourself
with a purple dress, red hut and
green bag, with perhaps a pair of
blue shoes thrown In. Kneh looked
so Irresistible in the shop that in
your enthusiasm you overlooked the
general effect.
Color Scheme Important
The sensible thing to do before
you buy so much us a pulr of gloves
Is to pick out a basic color and then
limit yourself to the various shades
which will harmonize with that
color. Suppose, for instance, you
have a green suit which Is going to
do heavy duty this fall, (ireen is a
very practical color since it looks
equally well with black or brown.
Thus, you may choose a hut In
black, brown or one of the new rust
shades which blend so well with
green. From there you can go on
to choosing the other accessories
which go to make up the outfit.
Remember, the odds and ends of
I.. " 111 "" """"
| your ensemble nre ns Important ns
! i be dress, font or suit.
Harmonize Make-Up With Fall
Shades
And when you’ve completed youi
full wardrobe, don't forget your fall
make-up. The sha > of powder,
| rouge and lipstick which has been
so becoming with your summer pas
i tels may prove altogether Inade
quate with the deeper lines you are
wearing this autumn. Experiment
with u variety of colors until you
decide which is best suited to your
skin tone nn.l the colors you nre
wearing. And remember, the make
up which is most natural looking by
day Is not necessarily the one that
will make you most glamorous by
night. Many women have two com
plete sets of make-up. one for day
and one for after dark. At night
you can get away with more vivid
colors which by day might make you
look artificial.
Bear these things In mind while
planning your full glamour. A lit
tle forethought will save a lot of
complications later on.

NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIA
TION TAKES SURVEY OF
“CONSUMPTION”
Disease Shown to be Most Active
Between Ages 11 to 30
Norfolk, Va. Oct. 19 (ANP)—
' The report of the Tuberculosis
Commission, National Medical As
sociation, recently released shows
that TB is much harder to cure
between the ages 17 to 31 and that
at this period i‘ runs a more active
course. The disease is especially
I violent among females aged 15 to
21 years.
As age increases one disease is
much less active, although it must
not be thought that old people
don’t have TB. On the contrary,
it is very frequent among them
and while not so dangerous to
themselves, they spread the disease
especially among children and oth
ers with whom they are in con
tact.
The report dismisses an "inade
quate and ineffective” such meth
ods as bed rest alone, medicine and
vein injections and it recommended
such modern methods as Pneumo
thorax or collapse of the lungs by
injecting air into the pleural cavi
ty and other surgical methods of
obtaining complete rest for the
affected lung.
In its summary, the commission
strongly urges the support of local
: e ate and federal governments in
i t.iaflishment of preventoriums,
sanatoria and ambulatory centers
ior treatment of colored TB suf
ferers.
