DOWN BUT NOT OUT:— The
one-time world’s champion boxer,
Jack Johnson, is in the hospital in
Minneapolis, Minn. “Black Jack”
is staging a battle with “Father
Time” and “Mother Nature,” as he
is now 62 years old; possible pneu
monia, thinks the doctor, and the
cold weather of Minnesota is tax
ing the rugged strength of the fa
mous colored prize fighter. John
son is beginning to realize that he
is not the same strong healthy
truckman on the Galveston steam
ship walls that Joe Chovinski pick
ed up and started on the trail to the
championship.
REAL EMANCIPATION:—
Death in Chicago of Julia Jackson,
age 98, was her second and real e
maneipation. Julia Jackson was
born a slave, the daughter of slave
parents in Huntsville, Ala. Lin
coln’s emancipation proclamation
brought her freedom from slavery,
but death freed her from all earth’s
sorrows and care.
The mention of “slavery,” does
pot appear too often in the news

but each time I am reminded that
slavery is far from being ended.
There is slavery to custom, to hab
it and to accepted ideas. There are
still pioneers who can break the
shackles and look forward, carving
new opportunities. All young peo
ple, black and white, should be re
minded that slavery isn’t only a
physical thing. Too many of us
have never allowed our minds to be
emancipated—and we can’t do it by
proclamation.

DOGS TREATED BETTER
THAN FARM HANDS:—A group
composed of both races in Chicago,
investigated charges of peonage on
the Sandy Cross farm in Georgia.
According to one refugee, “nobody
gets milk” there “but the dogs.”
Good food is essential to good
health and milk is necessary for
children. Deny good food and milk ,
to the farm hands and their famil-1
ies and they sink to the lowest level j
of human existence: a condition1
worse than the days of chattel slav
ery. Sharecroppers in Missouri,
like those in Georgia, are much in
the news. They are being promis
ed federal aid.
It seems to me that Negroes
should look at farming seriously.
There is in dependence in it, and an
even break. Out in the west there
is plenty of land. Methods are dif
ferent, and that means college train
ing in good agricultural schools.
Although opportunities for a col
ored are needed; so is strength,
courage and desire to find them.
CATHOLIC CHURCH CON
FERS HONOR:— “Kiwanuka,”
meaning “one who comes fx’om on
high,” is the name given to a native
African, who comes from Uganda
and was recently consecrated as a
bishop by the Catholic Church at
Rome. Bishop Kiwanuka speaks
latin fluently, as well as his native
Uganda. He recently conducted
the high pontifical mass in Latin at
Westminister cathedral in London,
which is an evidence that brings
know, no color line.

THE “HOT MIKADO” GOES
HOME:—It was a far cry from the
streets and alleys of Richmond, a
half century ago to a top line dan
cer radio and stage star along
Broadway and it is safe to say that
few of the residents of Richmond,
Va., who oined the welcoming
throng to pay honor and homage to
William “Boangles” Robinson, nat
ive son, who returned to his home
city as star in the musical swing
show, “Hot Mikado”, remembered
him. Bill Bojangles Robinson is
king of the tap dancing and is now
in his sixties. When Bill cam* j
back, he was where he could show
his appreciation to the people in the
place of his birth. He gave money
to the poor and needy; participated :
in programs for their benefit; and
gave the shut-ins a chance to see
him at work. Bill was glad to be
back home.
FASHIONETTE
by Hazel L. Griggs for ANP
Snug Suits Beneath Coats Appear
As Mercury Dips
Lowered temperatures this week
brought out all kinds of new and
perky suits under topcoats and fur
coats. Consisting of swing skirts
and fitted jackets, these suits are
just the thing to keep one snug and
warm when the mercury dips. In
reality, the suits being worn now
are more like dresses, smooth e
nough to avoid that cumbersome ef
fect.
The materials are light-weighted
woolens, and the colors cheerful yet
softer than the vibrant shades of
early fall. A skirt of gold topped
by a jacket of stripes which catch
up the skirt tone is attractive be
neath a brown cloth or fur coat.
Little dressmaker suits peeping;
out from their covering are youth- |
ful and chic. In Botany wools,
they have abbreviated jackets or
boleros that button down the front
or swing free. Blouses of dotted
or plaid crepe accompany these
I suits, and they will be very good la
i ter, when spring comes, for wear
without a coat.
Longer jackets, fitted at the
waistline, are predicted for spring,
and may be seen now under the
coats of many forward looking fash
ionists. The longer jacket is de
cidedly slenderizing and very smart
These jackets also will be worn
with print dresses for spring.
The military influence is being
felt in American styles as well as
French, and trench pockets are a
new fashion device popular on suits
and dresses. These pockets, usual
ly slung low from the belt, have
flaps which fasten with decorative j
buttons.
Quaker gray and sunshine yel-!
low is the color combination offered
to brighten up the postholiday dold
drums. It is a beautiful combina
tion that will carry over into spring
the same popularity it now holds.
Dresses of gray wool are shown
with yellow accessories and gray
suede shoes. Yellow chamoisuede
gloves and sunshiny costume jew
elry make a stunning accent.
Gray has been steadily gaining
favor since early fall, and now out
rivals all other colors for chic and
smart simplicity. Shades range
from pearl to gunmetal with the
Quaker, a soft dove shade, taking
first honors. This shade is un
questionably lovely against brown
complexions.

READINGS ARE READY
M. E. D.—Should I go to Mem
phis and finish the beauty course or
go to Chicago ? I am a follower of
your column and enjoy it so much.
Ans: It would be to your advan
tage to go to Chicago. You could
get a job of some other type and
finish this course at night if you
wished to. You would also be
much nearer your mother and peo
ple if you chose Chicago and you
would certainly be satisfied there.
-,
B. R. G.—I own some property
located in a rural district. Should I
sell all or part of this property and ,
buy a home in the city?
Ans: Don’t be in too big a hur
ry to sell the farm land. Wait un-1
til you are more definite in your I
plans as to what you wish to do in ^
regards to your future. At this
time you really don’t know just
where you wish to make your home.
When you are sure—sell only
enough of the farm land to pay for
your home.
R. E.—How on earth can I make
my life different and more happy?
Ans: By taking unto yourself
that which is the God-given birth
right of all womankind. That is
MOTHERHOOD. It would be to
| your advantage to call on your fam
ily physician and talk this subject
over with him.
M. B. G.—Will my husband and I
ever get along any better than at
the present time?
Ans: That is entirely up to
1 you. You CANNOT as long as you

try to hold the love of TWO MEN
at the same time. When you are
willing to forsake all others for
your husband, then you two will be
able to agree and come to a peace
ful understanding about your home
affairs.
M. M. A.—Why can’t I get a job
and hold it? I seem to have about
the toughest luck of anyone.
Ans: The jobs that you get do
not appeal to you and you don’t put
forth your best efforts—therefore
you are fired. Decide on the type
of work that you think you would
like best and get work along the
line of your choice. I might add
also that you work a little harder
than you are accustomed to work
ing on your next job and you will
stand a better chance of holding it.
W. E. M.—I am quite sure that
my friend loves me but he is terri
bly jealous. What should I do?
Also may I write you privately?
Ans: The boy does love you —
but for some reason he doesn’t j
trust you. Take yourself out of
his life. Yes, you may write to me
privately. Send a quarter for my
new 1940 Astrology Reading and I
will be glad to send my free opin
ions on three questions for you.
S. M.—Will I be able to leave
this town? Also tell me if it
would be a good idea to make a
change at this time?
Ans: There is no reason for you
to feel compelled to live in the loc
ality where you are if you find it
unpleasant. You are at Liberty to
leave any time and I believe too
that it would be a good idea. I j
would advise that you go farther
east.
R. R.—I have become engaged
twice to the same woman and each
time she breaks off the engage
ment and before we become engag
ed again she wants another diam
ond ring which will be three. What,
should I do?
Ans: Tell her a few things—let j
her know if she doesn’t marry you
now—without another diamond
ring—that she won't have the op
portunity to ever call you her hus
band. She seems to be pulling
your leg.

Woman Praises Mme.C.J.
Walker’s Preparations
' “I use Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations exclusively be
cause I get results from them
that I am unable to get from any
other preparation,” stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam C. J. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of Ube
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glosslne,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result of
years of experimenting to pro
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh
ing. Just the thing for these hot
days.
The Mme. C. J. Walker’s won
derful preparations are sold by
Walker Beauticians and Drug
Stores everywhere, or you can
write The Mme. C. J. Walker
Mfg. Company, direct. Address:
The Walker Building, Indian
apolis, Indiana.
