This unfair treatment of the col lored World War Veterans was ( openly pleaded on the floor of the | Convention hall, by one, Euctia L. Taylor of Boston, but as the Na tional Convention is dominated by a solid Southern bloc of delegates same as dominates the army and navy of our government, there was little to be done at this time but our delegates of Charles Young Post, Milwaukee, Giles Post Chicago, Roosevelt Post Om aha. and posts from Ohio, New York and Boston decided to con tinue their fight after returning home to see if they cannot get re presentation for the Southern Ve terans in the Amercan Legion.

LATEST RAVE (by Ted Yates) New1 York (Typ)—Fresh from a sensational dance tour Andy Kirk and His Band, which won praise from both press and public in the hinterlands, streamlined into town a fortnight andalmost immediate ly was booked for the Famous Door— ace nitery here. Last week the band with guitadist Floyd Smith; vocalist June Rich mond and featured pianist Mary, Lou Williams went out over a na tional CBS network. Manager Joe Glaser reports already an in creasing demand for return tour of 1-niterys. individual citizens, P. K. Walsh, chairman of the Chamber fire pre vention committee, anouncei rec ently. Purpose of th»; campaign is to educate the public to recognize and remedy fire hazards in homes, pub lic buildings anj j laces of business ‘‘During 1940 10 000 lives were lost and property damage of more tl an a quarter of a billion dollars occurred because of avoidable -i^cs in the United,” Mr. Walsh stated. ‘“Now, with problems of national defense confronting the country, the conservation of human and physical resources is vitally im portant.” ; Plans of the committee include the distribution of 800 self inspec tion blanks to business and manu facturing establishrments so that they may chelk their own fire haz ards. The committee will also ar range displays of fire apparatus throughout the city during Fire Prevention Week; talks by mem bers of the Speakers’ Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce to clubs and other groups, special “fire prevention” stickers for outgoing mail and for automobiles and store window displays. Special emphasis will be placed on a campaign throughout grade and high schools in Omaha. In addition to fire prevention talks at assemblies and convocations, arrangements are being made by| the Chamber of Commerce to show a fire prevention film. The Chamber of Commeroe will also sponsor a contest among the Omaha fire stations for the best fire prevention exhibit. GEN.

Battle For Racial Free dom At Home More Important Tan Europ ean Wars (by Richard Haines’ NEW YORK (NNS)—If it is true that it is an “111 Wind That Blows Nobody Good” then It may be that out of the muddled morass of this World War, with its con flicting and confusing issues some good may come to the colored race as a whole, and the 15 million Ne groes of America in particular. That good will mot come by itself, however. IT MUST BE FOUGHT FOR. Fought for not on some dis tant, inglorious battlefield, in Eur ope, but in the cities and towns, the farms and swamps, the slums and little Harlems of these United States. The BATTLE that must be fought is the age-old one against the forces of white intolerance. PREJUDICE and BIAS must be wiped out, once and for all time. And it may well be that the new and pressing need for NATIONAL UNITY will provide us with the key long needed to open wide the door leading into the life for which we have labored so long—a life of EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL OP PORTUNITIES AND— MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL—EQUAL VOICE IN THE GOVERNMENT OF OUR COUNTRY! But only by DEMANDING our rights may we obtain them. Three years ago, for instance, the feudal fanaticism of suspender snapping tobacco chawing ignorant Govern or Talmadge of Georgia would have passed almost unnoticed by1 the white press of the country, to die down or be forgotten. Every ter. The attitude of Talmadge to wards the colored citizens of Geor gia is widely condemned by the WHITE press, for there are in the country today national leaders wise enough to realize that men of Talmadge’s type must go! The Negroes of Georgia are more im portant than a cracker Governor. The issue should not be allowed to die down, o be forgotten. Every colored man, woman and child In the United States should send a card to President Roosevelt, a card saying: “YOU ARE ENLISTING OUR AID IN A FOREIGN BATTLE for DEMOCRACY. WHAT About OUR DEMOCRACY AT HOME? WHAT ABOUT THE LIVES OF 0<UR PEOPLE IN GEORGiEA? ARE HUMAN RIGHTS MORE IMPORTANT THAN STATES’ RIGHTS, OR MUST WE FIGHT THE CIVIL WAR AGAIN?” Enough of these messages and Washington would be FORCED to Double Help for WOMEN! What do you do when headache,<3 nervousness, cramp-like pain, lack of energy and appetite, or some other form of periodic, functional distress begins to make you miser able? Why not do as thousands of women and take CARDUI? There are two ways to take it. First: To help relieve periodic pain and discomfort, start three days be gl". fore “your time” and follow direc tions. Second: To assist in building energy, strength, through increas ed flow of gastric juice which helps appetite and digestion, take it by directions as a tonic. Women who use it both ways seem to be CARDUPS most enthusiastic boo sters. pay attention. Already, White House leaders are disturbed. Three years ago, for example, had a Ne gro soldier shot a white officer, in some mix-up, there is no question who would have been blamed, who would have been punished. NOT the white man! But today Wash ington officials are quick to de mand a THOROUGH investigation WHY? They KNOW, the men ifi power today, how MPORTANT the atti tude of 15 million colored citizens is in an hour of stress. They KNOW that national unity can be only a myth, a bit of political mumbo-jumbo, as long as ONE TENTH of the population of the country is EXPLOITED and op pressed. But beginning today, there CAN be one kind of UNITY. That is the UNITY of the colored peo ple—united solidly, unswervingly, in the demand for their RIGHTS. The first battle to be fought is HERE—and not in EUROPE! FEP BREAKING BARRIERS, CRAMER SAYS Washngton, Sept.-(ANP)—Law rence Cramer, executive secretary of the Fair Employment Practices committee, in a discussion of a group’s work said last Monday that the committee in the short tiest had been in existence had accomplished a very astonishing amount of good in breaking down the prejudial barriers against Ne gro employment in defense indu-f stries. ‘‘However”, Mr. Cramer contin ued, “I would much rather wait until our staff is completely orga nized and functioning begore giv ing out any statement to the press as to what we have accomplished. “I feel that the greater amuont of good can be accomplished if we didn’t try to say too much at a position to do much talking— present. Then again, we are not in we aren’s even organized com pletely. *‘My desk is cluttered with cor respondence which I am just get ting around to and our quarters are too small. When we are set tled in larger quarters, we will know which wab we are going and can turn our press matters over to a competent person, whom I be lieve we already have”. At present, there is much con cern over the organization due due to a leak in the committee by which certain deliberations were given out before the matter was entirely settled. The usual pocedure in such mat ters is to wait until all persons concerned have been cleared, ap proved and certified before any announcement is made. Because of the unusual manner in which information reached the public there is some doubt as to whether a much desired worker will be assigned to the FEP. However, arrangements are go ing ahead to fill this bost if the person desired is obtainable and others will be assigned as soon as the investigations of the civil ser vice commission are cleared. Mr. Cramer is pleased with the reception given the committee by Negro newspapers and feels ihat they will exert a potent force to bring about desired results if 'the papers will string along with the committee until it is formally and completely organized.

Lonesome and heartsick, she ioubted her wisdom in refusing a hurry-up wredding just before his departure. Instead she had chosen to wait until he returned. 1 think she did exactly right! I told her that she had chosen wisely. That the year’s delay, if viewed Baneiy, could be a tremendous bless ing to both of them . . . could prob ably help Them to find greater hap piness when they did marry. Here Is why I argued as I did. I wanted to give her the best coun sel and advice I could summon. I wanted to give her some thought ij comfort her during the 12 months of loneliness separated from the man she loves. Patriotic duty? Yes! But also, there is a terrific -element of personal duty. The young man will return from his 12 months of service much more of a man than when it begun, bringing greater maturity, and more mental and physical strength Into the marriage. The young woman will have 12 months In which to prepare herself for marriage, and its obligations and duties. Dreaming, scheming and planning for that marriage . . . anxious lest something happen to Interfere with it when the young man returns to civil life, she will waste no time in preparing for a marriage and a home — something She did not have time to do before he left for the Army. Suppose they had married hur riedly. Wedding bells, a taste of marriage bliss — and none of Its comedy and reality — and then de parture ! For 12 months there would be little that he could do for his bride at home. And how about the husbandless bride during those first 12 months of marriage? She’s won her man! Why worry? Why scheme and plan for a home? Why bother herself? It would be but human to drift and dream, feeling that there is plenty of time later to prepare for a home. Do you see the difference in the two situations? Do you see the many complications which can de velop? Do you see that married or unmarried, the soldier is occupied many hours a day with the business of making himself a better soldier? My young friend understood my meaning, and gradually smiled through her tears. Together we outlined a busy routine for her, schemed and planned unusual notes and letters and gifts which she could prepare and send to her man at camp. I helped her budget her earnings so that when the year closed, some funds would be avail able to help their dreams come true. And we also worked out sewing projects for those little knick-knacks that make a house a home. Will they drift apart during that year? If they do, how fortunate they are that they aren’t married! But busy people do not drift. And people with a real purpose in mind do not change their minds. Instead I foresee the development of a greater understanding between the two, a greater desire for each other, a strengthening of the character istics and personal traits which have so much to do with successful marriages.

The W^ihte Plains local was carrying about 100 commuters. No cne, however, was injured. The collision ocurred about 300 yards north of the Woodlawn sta tion in the Bronx, where south bound trains of both roads use the Central’s tracks to continue on to the terminal. The soldiers, recently transfer red from Fort Ontario, N. Y. to Camp Edwards, Mass., had left the camp for a week end excursion, but the 13 car New Haven train was running ahead of schedule, be ing due at the terminal at 7:24 a. m. The four car White Plains lo cal was due at Woodlawn station at 6:06. The local had just passed the junction when the troop train's locomotive crashed into one of the local’s cars. However, the impact was slight and both trains we-e halted without derailment. BABE’S BUFFE1 for Popular Brands of BEER and LIQUORS 2229 Lake Street 1 _ Always a place to park— a * "»........nasawi .

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 the I 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. t $ Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine, 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.
