its minor thought radiate. The
‘central idea' in our public opin
ion at the beginning was. .'the
equality of man-; and, although it
has always submitted patiently to
whatever seemed to be a matter
of actual necessity, its constant
working has been a steady and
progressive effort towards the
practical equality of all men’’.
What Mr. Lincoln said so truly
and so clearly in the middle of the
19th century is still true and must
always remain true of America.
Democracy in this country is test
ed and proved in every generation
by the degree to which it succeeds
in applying the principles of the
Declaration of Independence to
the lives of all the American peo
ple.
Is there more opportunity for
more people so that the sons of
the lowliest may by the exercise of
virtue and hard work, attain the
goal toward which they strive?
Are the civil rights of all guaran
teed and protected so that, in the
wise employment of them, men of
talent, however obscure today,
may live to bless the common life
of us all tomorrow? Is racial and
religious prejudice;and its unseem

unjust things which do not belong |
in a country like ours ?
These are the questions which
sincere and conscientious Ameri
cans have always asked abdut Am
erica and to which they have also
sought the right answers. We can
not escape these questions today
anymore than Americans of the
past could. For by them the pro
gress of our American way of life
is tested. We cannot escape them
because, in Mr. Lincoln's words,
the constant working of public
opinion in America has been a
steady and progressive effort to
wards the practical equality of all
men.”
DANE—GELD
By Ruth Taylor
Kipling once wrote a poem
about the Danish pirates who,
nearly a thousand years ago, prey
ed on the coast of England and
collected Dane-geld to stay away;
and he showed how fallacious was
the idea that “Paying Dane-geld
ever got rid of the Dane”.
The nations of the world learned
again at Munich that ‘peace in our
time’ only meant that our time
was measured.
What's the difference in dicta
tors ? Whether it be Mussolini
strutting on his balcony, Hilter
screaming in a rage—or Stalin
making his puppets walk out when
ever he can’t have his own way—
or other lesser dictators, ready to
do exactly the same things when
ever the chips are not all on their
side of the table?
A dictator is a dictator and it
never pays to appease him. But—
the one thing we can always do
is—not to do business with him.
It doesn’t make any difference
whether for the moment he is on
our side of the fence or the other.
His methods are wrong. And we
certainly learned as children that
the only way to make a bully
change his tune is not to play with
him.
Brutal talk? Yes, but these be
brutal times. The peace we hoped
for after the war is not here. The
peace we wanted we are not achie
ving. Our time seems again to be
but seconds. Why? Because we
have appeased. We went about
what we thought was our busin
ess instead of taking care of the
most important business of all.
We agreed, compromised and ac
quiesced in order to concentrate on
our own affairs and forgot that
in order to have the road smooth
the line must be true. We paid
Dane-geld—and not only overseas.
Can we still correct our errors?
We can—but only if as individu
als we turn back to the straight
line—and we must not do it at the
expense of any one, of any group,
of any nation. We must make up
our mind what we want—and
make everyone know that we do
know what we want.
This is as true today as it was

An Item or Two About
A Personality or Two
NEW YORK—Hollywood has
never permitted a Negro star to
shine in the celluloid heaven it
has created out of pure imagina
tion. Photogenic Lena Horne has
come closer to the distinction than
any other Negro performer, but
she has missed the mark by so
great a margin, it is possible that
she will soon fade unless she gets
a break of some conseguence al
most immediately.
Miss Horne has been more wide
ly publicized, more glamourously
built up than any other perform
er of her race. Her voice, which
is mediocre, has been her chief
asset from the Hollywood point
of view, and whenever her charm
ing likeness is flashed on the
screen, it is even money bet that
she is going to sing. The boys
who are supposed to be in the know
will tell you that studio execs are
tearing out fistfuls of their thin
ning hair trying to find a story
that will fit the beauteous Lena.
They say that Miss Horne can
not act, and they could be right,
but the truth is more likely to be,
„ *=r
she has never had a chance. For
all of the vaunted liberalism of
the Hollywood studio personalities
there isn't the slightest nope that
j a Negro actor of the highest abil
! ity will get a chance to rise to
| stardom. Witness the slaughtering
cf the exceptional ability of Can
ada Lee in the film, “Lifeboat".
Hollywood is not averse to using
the device of token representation
to satisfy the millions of Negroes
who support the film industry. Ne
gro actors are featured in grade
A’ pictures in. segregated spots
that flash on the screen for a few
brief minutes, and which many
times do not have a discernable
relationship to the story.
The art of buck-passing reaches
its zenith in the film industry. The
men who write the stories say it
is the producers who are respon
sible for the treatment of the Ne
gro. The producers blame the men
who write the stiries, and quest
ioned together, the blame the pres
sure of the southern market. Ac
tually, the situation derives from
an unwritten agreement by all con
cerned to carry out the pattern of
of lily-whitism, while proclaiming
a desire to act without prejudice.

There are some “tricks" about
ntroducing new foods which it is
iust as well to know about even
•.hough you may not need to use
:hem. * j
Most babies love cod liver oil,
providing mother doesn’t show in
iny way that she doesn’t like it.
It is not a good practice to mix it
with other foods. Give it before the
jath so that if some is spilled it
doesn't get on his clothes.
Orange juice is diluted with boil
ed and cooled water. If it seems to
upset him it may be put into his
miik. If he is breast-fed, postpo: e
giving it for two or three weeks
and then start again, It may be
added to the milk and put on his
cereal and thus diluted. >
Cereals, the special pre-cooked
baby cereals, are usually the first
more solid foods given a baby. At
first use enough milk to make it
quite liquid, more nearly like a
thickened milk than a cereal. If
your baby is breast-fed, starting
cereal gives you an opportunity to
introduce another form of milk—
usually diluted evaporated mjlk.
When the first strained vege
table or fruit is given, it is fed
with a spoon. This method helps to
accustom your baby to the spoon
as a utensil. If he doesn’t seem to
like the new food, remember it
is a new texture and consistency
and not so much a matter of a
new taste. Dilute it with milk for
the first few feedings. Either vege
table or fiuit may be thickened
with some of his cereal. It makes
the new food more like the cereal

! Jackson-Cox In Prelim Go
A few months ago Omaha's Eu
gene Brown was working on an
j impressive string of welterweight
kayos. He looked like a sure com
er. Then Warren Corbett cooled
, the Omahan. That shot Corbett to
the top of the preliminary-boy
heap.
And then last week Sioux City’s
Jesse Jackson hammered out a de
cision over Corbett; flooring the
j Minnesotan twice.
So now it’s Jackson who steps
into the picture. Wednesday he
was matched with Roy Cox, busy
club fighter out of New Orleans,
for a four-rounder on the August
12 Council Bluffs Legion Park out
door card.
The Legion card, probably the
last outdoor show of the local sea
son, will offer a double main event.
Uancho De La Cruz will swap
i punches with Sterling Ingram in
a heavyweight 10-rounder while
Jackie Burke and Deacon Logan
will vie in the companion 10
rounder. They are middleweights.

TRAFFIC SAFETY RECORD
A1 says this auto safety record
contest reminds him of high school
track meet competition, while he
was watching Di Giorgio, Christ
ensen won the race. But, trafficly
speaking, we can still beat De
troit’s record and save many lives
in doing so.
CONTEST
Old Timer says these homicides,
or whatever you call them, won't
let him sleep and that what little
sleep he does get, is marred by
dreams.
Last night he dreamed that the
Negro news publications were
sponsoring a nation-wide anti
homiside contest offering cash
prizes to the cities most success
fu in surpressing casualties. Such
cash prizes to be used to fight
juvenile delinquency; the source of
most crime.
A1 says, if it is within his po
wer, Old Timers dream will come
true.
PASSIVE RESISTANSE
Whenever there is something in
the paper which displeases him,
one subscriber calls up and de
mands a limited cancellation. Says
a permanent (Cancellation would
kill the interest. Old Timer says:
‘ Tell me the reason, it ain’t pleas
ing’’.
WHO’S NUTS
The fellows in the office were
debating the feasibility of using
"mental immaturity”- to desccribe
vandals, criminals and delinquents.
One group maintained that vlw
1''n"s and crime was an indica
thn of mental immaturity. An
other group said that crime is
not necessarily a sign of ‘mental
immaturity”, the offenders just
plain ‘‘didn’t care”. Old . Timer
said mental immaturity did not
necessarily mean insanity. A lady
staff member said “only people
who are mentally mature have
enough sense to go crazy” A1 said
‘‘Nuts'’.
QUALITY OF MERCY
It appears that this fellow Tay
lor has little appreciation for the
quality of mercy. How many faiths
did he break?

Dr. McMillan Speaks Before
The Alpha Omega Club
By Fr"<nk Wilkerson
The Alpha Omega Club was hon
ored to have Dr. Aaron McMillar!
"s -u"~t speaker last Su- 'av. Dr.
McMillan, a< fornier resident of
Omaha, spoke on his experiences
in Africa where he not only learn
ed to ap^remate and love the Afri
can people but b yusing his skills
as a surgeon he was able to make
one of the greatest contributions
any man could offer.
The good Doctor has often found
himself in situations where he
sometimes didn't know what to do
but through a continuous struggle
not only for existence but with the
idea of helping those who needed
his help most. He has been able to
create something that shall al
ways be appreciated. Imagine a
man building a hospital in a land
strange to him. among people who
speak a different language and
whose philosophy of life is entirely
different from his own. Yes, Dr.
McMillan struggled as all men
must do to accomplish a goal, and
it took him seventeen years. He
loves Africa and is glad that he
was able to help the people. He
told the club that be spent many
happy years in Africa and has a
yearning to return in a couple of
years. Does the ngme Af"ica ir^an
any more to you than just another
country ?
I have never witnessed a more
balanced and attentive group of
young people who sat and listened
for two hours to a speaker with
out showing signs of being bored.
Dr. McMillan truly a great sur
geofi and a great speaker was en
jo,r<'d bv all.
The program com“uded with Fo
ster (Tood'ett singing "Ole Man
River” a solo by Leonard King, a
piano solo by Miss Hattie M. Beck.
We concluded the evening with

The present wheat emergency
has not changed the bread habits
in our family. When I was a young
girl learning to cook, my Mother
taught me the importance of avoid
ing waste in food —and I think
some of the hints I learned will
help you to conserve bread now.
We don't throw away left-overs
at our house — if bread does be
come slightly stale, I make toast
or use it for bread dressings and
puddings. If there is still left-over
bread, I roll it into crumbs and
pack it away in my refrigerator
until I make a dish that requires
a crumb topping. 0
Incidentally, I’ve found that by
opening just one end of the bread
wrapper — and carefully reclosing
the waxed paper, then placing the
bread in the refrigerator—it stays
moist and fresh much longer. And,
too, I wash my refrigerator at
least once a week with vinegar.
It’s just an extra precaution that
stops any mouldings.
You know, it’s really surprising
how much food can be saved with
just a few such precautions as
these. And every crumb we save
here — means prolonged life for a
neighbor in Europe. That certainly
makes it worth the effort, doesn’t
it?

FALLING HA1R
Someone has said that “an ounce'
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure’’. We find his spying very
true in the falling of hair. It is
much easier to keep a healthy
head of hair th in it is to grow a
beautiful head of hair v/ith a dis
eased scalp.
In order to understand the prin
ciples underlying the treatment
that stops falling hair and leads
to the production of a new Igrowth
of hair we should learn what the
hair is and how the hair grows.
We ar e then in a position to know
when we can expect results and
why.
By Christine Althouse
The hair like the nails, is an
appendage or an out-growth of
the cuticle; and reaches the sur
face through the hair folliccle (a
tube-like inversion of the skin).
From the bottom of the hair
1 follicle, we find the papilla or
1 “mother” of the hair. It is from
the papilla that the new hair is
created as it is here we find the
nerves and blood vessels.
