SIMPLICITY IS NOT BREVITY Iff in I "" I 1 IIIIIIIIIUMIM .Ill || by Ruth Taylor One day I was sitting in on a conference to plan out a most im portant booklet. It had been de cided that the best thing to do was to make the text as simple as pos sible, so one person started to blue pencil the text and cut out all superfluous phrases. There was an expert present, but he kept silent until the discussion as what to omit was going strong. Then he said in an objective sort of drawl. “You know simplicity is not brevity.” The more you think about that line—the more it strikes you. Simplicity in writing is not in cutting down—it is in stating clearly exactly what you are try ing to say. Simplicity in dress isn’t in brevity—it is in not having any Yes, ■mart women and men by the thousands know how quickly Palmer’s SKIN SUCCESS OinV meat works to relieve the itching of many sxtei~ Daily oaused pimples, rashes, “spots” eczema and ringworm.

Simplicity in talking is not in speaing only in headline phrases. It is in having something to say. saying it in the most lucid pos sible language and in sticking to the subject. Simplicity in living is just the same. It is not so much in omit ting things from life, but in doing the things that are real. In con centrating on the worthwhile, not the tawdry, in living WITH a pur pose and BY a principle. The men and women who ob serve that kind of simplicity are the ones who get things done. Be cause their minds are uncluttered by non-essentials, they are able to think a problem through and then find the solution. They are the people who have time to be kind. Out of the ordered neatness of their days, they have saved hours in whch to help others. The big gest men I know are the ones who have time to listen. It’s the little people who are “too busy.’’ Simplicity is a gift within the reach of any one. It is possible to so order your Ives that you will have time to include all things you want to do. Just do the most important thing first. Once you do this all the rest falls into line. You are not haunted by the things you have left undone. The unim portant things disappear of their own accord. You are always up to date. It's a simple rule of liv ing—and it really works. Why not try it? THE COMMON DEFENSE By Rev. William C. Kernon BAD USE OF A GOOD WORD Latest reports of un-American activities show that one method subversive groups employ is to lay claim to a respectable word— in the name of which they mali ciously contrive to undermine Am erican democratic principles. The Nazis, of course, used a number of such words—among them, strangely enough, the words ‘positive Christianity’. The people were taught that they were fight ing for the things represented by these words. They were taught that they were fighting for civil ization, for the Fatherland, for Christianity. But, the upshot was that people were persecuted— londemned to lives of misery in concentration camps—murdered. Priests were stoned. Religious schools were closed and the right to educate children was taken from parents and from the Church Democracy was destroyed, men deraded, and brutal dictatorship established. In America there are those who even after the war is over, follow this pattern, They too, have seiz ed upon and claimed a good word in whose name they attack demo cracy and the rights of American citizens. They have seized upon the word Christian. In the name of Christianity, whose aim is to cre ate a brotherhood of sill men, they spread race hatred. In the name of Christianity, which proclaims Northside Drama — By Al Sparks — LOU IS-CONN It is Wednesday Night June 19th. Last year it was the Japs and Naz is, this year Louis and Conn. Joe Louis proved that he still packs a healthy wallop,and his North side Fans and Fans everywhere are celebrating. With not as much enthusiasm as after the Schm eling-Louis second encounter, but they are celebrating nevertheless Especially down south, because it is Juneteenth. But that Louis-Schmeling fight was a thriller. Hitler had to delay the war for two years while he rebuilt his Superman Myth.

Fire I caused by defective lantern. peace among men, they stir up discord between Christians and Jews. In the name of Christianity which is identified with truth, they deal in falsehoods, many of which they have taken whole ■ grained from the Nazis, the ene mies of Christianity. All of this is done in the name of Christianity whose purpose is to reconcile man to God and man to man. To proclaim hatred in the name of hatred is bad enough. But to preach hatred in the name of Jesus Christ is blasphemy. In short, this generation, which has seen hatred all but destroy civil ization in Europe, is also seeing the same kind of hatred attempt the same thing in America—in the name of a good and noble word, in the name of Christianity. This is the totalitarian way of covering bestiality with the cloak of religion. And against it true Christians 1 will set themselves like flint. WALTER WINCHELL, EDDIE DUCHIN, EDWARD EVERET HORTON ATTEND KING COLE PARTY NEW YORK CITY—(Calvin’s News Service)—What was termed as an all out affair to officially welcome Nat King Cole and his trio to New York was given at the Hotel Savoy-Plaza this week in their beautiful Mandarin Suite. The occasion won its importance for two reasons. Firstly, Negroes have never given an affair at the Savoy-Plaza. Secondly, never has there been such an array of all classes of people together to pay tribute to any one musical group. Among the stars and celebrities who greeted Nat Cole and the boys were Walter Winchell, famed newspaper columnist, Mr. and Mrs Noble Sissle, Richmond Barthe, Mr. and Mrs. Andy Kirk, Harold and Fayard Nicholas, Mrs. Ers kine Hawkins, Anne Brown, Rex Ingraham and Maurice Rocco. Just in from California on the Constellation, Edward Everette Horton arrived in time to meet the Trio. He joins the Kraft Mu sic Hall air show this week on which the King Cole Trio are ap pearing for the summer. The most dramatic moment of the party was when Eddie Duchin star of the Kraft show, made a simple and genuine toast to the Trio at which time the 200 guests drank champagne. The cocktail reception was de finitely unique. There were pro ducers, actors, singers, artists, lawyers, doctors, radio executives, booking agents, cafe owners, band leaders, television men, disc Jock | CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1 Asterisk 5 Refuse of grapes 9 River (European) 10 Nurse (India) 11 Game of dice 13 Greek letter 14 Onion 16 Music note 18 Church seat 19 Vex 20 Chop 21 Land measure 22 Honey gathering insect 23 Attractive (Colloq.) 24 Wet earth 25 Kettle 26 A saurel 28 Perched 29 Masurium (sym.)

SEPIA PLAYERS SCORE DRAMATIC SUCCESS By H. J. Pinkett The SEPIA PLAYERS, Friday and Saturday nights of last week presented ‘THE WHOLE TOWN’S TALKING’ the first in a series of plays, to be presented; at the Ur ban League. The play was a fine comedy of love and humor and emotions which they inspire. The play was in three acts; the scene, the living room in the home of Henry and Harriet Simmons and their daughter Ethel. Court was paid to the daughter by two admirers, one a 'man of the world and the other a country lad ol homely virtues. Willa Gordon who played the stellar role of Mrs. Harriet Sim mons, portrayed the charactei with splendid artistry, worthy ol the truly excellent actresses ol the American stage. Lawrence the country boy who loved his Ethel, performed like a veterar of the stage. And Geneva Burnej who played the role of Ethel Sim mons, the daughter and the sought was as charming and pure as i maiden could be. Edward Crooms as Henry Simmons, was a verj good “old man” who was alway: getting into trouble with his verj clever wife. Robert Myers as Don aid Swift, the “man of the world” ; enacted his role superbly, but los in the race of love for the favoj of Ethel. And Wave Madison as Letty Lythe, almost ruined Chest er Binney’s affair writh Ethel Harvey Carter, as Roger Shields Lottie Wright as Lila Wilson, Do ris Newland as Sally Otis, Ger aldine McKim as Annie the Maid Jennie Robinson as Sadie Bloon and Harold Whiteside, the Tax Driver, played well their parts. Nearly 50 years ago, Fred F Schrader, the Dramatic Critic o the Washington Post remarkee that “the colored race is our great est resovoir of dramatic talen and if afforded opportunity, wil become the leaders in dramatic art”. The excellent acting Friday anc Saturday night by THE SEPI.A PLAYERS, vindicated that pro phesy. In spite of difficulties, the production staff did an essentia! job most capably. Lee Aitchisor directed the play. SAN ANTONIO GIANTS TOUR IOWA The San Antonio Giants, play ing out of Omaha, engaged team; in Adele, Ft.
