are not the only ones who some

Aching Muscles. We home girls
often work just as hard and have
just as many Headaches, just as

just as Tired.
About a year ago, I first used
ALKA-SELTZER
I find that it eases my Aching
Head, takes the kinks out of Tired,
Aching Muscles and brings relief
when I have Acid Indigestion.

Mrs. Henrietta Claxton worked

able t° stand up and walk like u
plan she caught step and went

Richard Wright, author of Native Son, and Etta Moten, currently star
I ring in “Porgy and Bess” in New York, photographed following their
discussion of Edwin Embree’s 13 AGAINST THE ODDS over WQXR’s
"Other People’s Business.” Mr. Wright is one of the thirteen most emi
nent contemporary Negroes (others are Paul Robeson, J. Philip Ran
dolph, Marian Anderson, and Joe Louis) whose life stories the author of
Brown Americans sketches in his new book. Neil Scott of Interstate
United Newspapers arranged the radio discussion.
New W o r I d
A-Coming...
by Roy Ottley A MUST READ!!!
“Inside Black America.” the sub
title of Roi Ottley's book, perhup
best explains it- He tells the story
of Harlem from the time, when in
1626 eleven Negroes were imported
in the then Dutch Colony of New
Amsterdam and a way of life for
Black America began.
Although Mr. Ottley deals most
specifically with Harlem, that most
complex of colored communities,
this description serves as a mirror
to reflect the many intricate parts
of Negro thought and action
throughout the United States. He
use soutstanding individuals such
as A. Philip Randolph. Rev. Clay
ton Powell, Joe Louis, James W.
Ford and Father Divine to reveal
the influence of broad social forc
es.
“NEW WORLD A-COM IN'"}” is
a very shre'vd, objective and ac
curate survey of Negro life m A
merica by a reporter who spent
ten years in preparing this book.
Especially interesting because of
the present national and world
conditions are his chapters on
“Freedom of the Black Press,”
“Executive Order Number 8802” —
(whereby the Fair Employment
Practice Committee was set up,)
“Made in Japan,” wherein he dis
cusses the influence of Axis pro
paganda disseminated among the
Negroes and his chapter on "What
Negroes are Saying.’’
Mr. Ottley points out that we
are again approaching a crisis and
that, as in the time of the Civil,
War, our nation could not remain
half free and half slave, it is now
a question of whether the whole
world will become truly free o” will
sink into the slavery of fascism.
The author says, “The Negro's
cause in America is the barometer
of democracy. If it falls here, it
falls everywhere, for colored men
will lose hope, and the whole wo-Id
be be plunged into a racial con
vulsion which may very well krin-?
about the destruction of civiliza
tion. The Negro’s cause will rise
or fall with America, He knows
well that his destiny is intimate y
bound to that of the nation. Am
erica stands today as a symbol of
freedom: The loss of this symbol
will mean the loss of hope for
white and black alike- This war un
deniably, belongs to the Negro a«
well as to the white man.’’ There
fore. now is the time for us ail
to Join forces behind the leaders
who are struggling to do away
with the myth of “White Super
/
iority” and restore all of the col
ored peoples of the world to their
rightful equality in the ' Nov.
World A-Coming.”
