PREVENTION IS A MORE POWERFUL WEAPON THAN TREATMENT Prevention is a more powerfuli weapon than treatment in the control of tuberculosis .declared officials of the Nebraska Tuberculosis Associat ion in announcing the early diagnosis campaign conducted annually during April. People cannot be expected to recog nize fatigue as having the remotest cbnnection with tuberculosis. Even a physician cannot be expected to rec ognize tuberculosis in its early stages without a thorough examination, in cluding a chest x-ray. The x-ray can be relied upon to find a TB infection of the lungs long before signs of the disease can be de tected by stethoscope. X-ray is the only sure way of knowing whether lungs are healthy or diseased. Any person who waits tor symp toms before getting a chest X-ray is storing up trouble, for, it may take long, .slow years of bed rest to cure him. Long years in bed mean being away from work, heavy expense, draining one's own resources or pub lic money. Some of the people who waited never recovered. There are about 160 deaths from tuberculosis in this country each day. Those deaths should not happen. Each death from TB is unnecessary. That is why we go looking for small trouble before great trouble finds us and overwhelms us. We urge the search for early tuberculos is among apparently healthy people.

LEVIRT (ST. LOUIS) KELLY SLAIN IN POLITICAL BRAWL Chicago, 111., —Bronzeville is in tears as the news spreads of the slay ing of J. Levirt Kelly, one of the na tion's most widely nown labor and political leaders. Kelly was shot dead with a .28 special revolver in the hands of Wendell (Cat Eye*s) Lyot s at the climax of a heated argument late Friday night at the entrance of ,the Forrestville School where a pol itical rally was being held. The mel ee started according to the confession of Lyons after Kelly had reprimand ed him for reporting the tearing down of Campaign posters of form er Aledrman Benjamin A. Grant, the assailant's brother-in-law, Lyons stat ed that he -hot Kelly after the labor leader had put his hand in a pocket as to draw a gun. With a bullet in his head, Kelly died immediately. The inquest was held at Wabash Avenue Police station, Saturday at 1 pm. and was continued to April 27th. Kelly was head of the Waiters, Waitresses, Bartenders and Cooks Union, Local 444 and founder of the Tavern Dwners and Retail Liquor Store Business League, and numerous other businesses and organizations. H; was one of the campaign manager £ of Commissioner Edward M. Sneed, Grant's opponent for the 3rd Ward Committeemanship. He leaves a widow and son, Pvt. Robert Kelly. Tuberculin testing and mass x-ray are the ways to search. Tuberculin testing of children, X-raying of the positive reactors, mass x-raying of industrial workers, school personnel, food ahndlers, general hospital admis sions and people who have been in contact with tuberculosis, is our duty our patriotic duty. DISCHARGED I’ETS MAY FIND JOB LISTS AT UNITED STAT ES EMPLOYMENT BUREAUS When a man is discharged from any of the armed forces and goes looking for work, he will find at the United States Employment Service office a summary of the job oppor tunities in all the major industrial centers with 100.000 population or more, and in the principal city in ev ery State regardless of its size.

The statements will indicate not only the major war and civilian in dustries of each area, but also a short statement on employment prospects currently and in the immediate fu; -ture, plus an estimate, wherever pos sible, of the post-war employment out look for the area.

The Army. Na vy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard have indicated keen interest in this type of information and in all prob ablity will use it extensively when de mobilization takes place.” Mr. McNutt explained that virtual- : ly every local office of USES is now recruiting in other areas thronrh Seeds that Grow* Get your new crop bulk garden seed, onion sets, seed potatoes at the old reliable.

Emphasis is put on the word, ‘ Slav ery.” The white people of the rest of the world are feeling it already The Polish people the French people, the Belgians, who cut off the hands and feet of the lack people a shcur t while ago, the English who own 3-4 of the world and others, too numer ous to mention, are feeling it as they are caught in the clutches of the tGiant German Octopus.” The Black man can certainly sit back and say. If this is civilization excuse me.” "There’s a long road that has no turning. We are two distinct crea tures in this great Democracy, or "Demockery First we are Negro es. When it comes to taxation and fighting the Whiet man’s battles we are American citizens, ut we are set apart in everything that is Jim Crow. It has been said y Knox that whit) men will not work with Negroes. That is a lie! This writer worked for ten years in the post office at New Orleans with white men and women from 1907 to 1917. Whites and Negroes used the same swing rooms until Mr. Wilson’s first wife saw some Negroes and whites work ing together in Washington, D. C. and Mr. Wilson, then president, was told by his wife that that such con ditions should cease at once. That was the beginning of the Jim Crow' in the post office at New Orleans and other points in this great country of ours. But notwithstanding these facts | white men did work with Negroes in | the Post Office, in the Custom Ser vice and in the railway mail servic^' in the deep down south, and are still working with them. If the President gave an order to end dscrimination in government jobs like he promised to do when he was running for the third term, White men will work with Ne groes and like it. ' racy and Building a World Commun ity of Brotherhood,’’ to be held here next Tuesday and Wednesday, April 18th and 19th. High points of the conference will be : 1. The appearance of A. Philip Randolph, president Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, fresh from ihs rebuke to Boss Ed Crmp of Memphis Term., on the issue of “Free speech” Mr. Randolph will speak on the ‘Rac ial Crisis in America” at the Mass meeting on Tuesday night. 2. A National prayer service in which spiritual aid will be invited for the attainment of the conference on objectives. The unusual service will begin at six o’clock Wednesday morn ing.

A Good-will Dinner to which a number of Senators and Congress men have been invited. In his statement Dr. Jernagin de- ! dared that the Church is not the "be nign institution” some would prefer to think it always. He asserted that "Negro people are articulating their viewpoint through the Washington Bureau,” and that it is "the responsi bility of the organization, in accept ing this mandate,’’ to make a clear statement to this or any administra tion which may follow: The sources of discontent, he said, are expressed in a “weariness of a buse in our armed forces; impatience at the preachments of world democ racy when so little is practiced at home: humiliation at the denial of ordinary civil rights; and dejection at the refusal of job opportunities.” The conference has the endorse ment of Bishop W.
