Recent out breaks of anti-Negro violence, the oruinous resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan. the re-election of the most vulgar representatives of virulent racism-the Bilbos and Talmadges— all this has served to remind the thoughtful persons that the gains j are not absolute, and that explo • sives exist in this society which are capable of blowing them to bits. I put it down as an incontro- j vertible truth that freedom of the mass of mankind can never be se ' cure and beyond the reach of pre- j judice and reaction until the mass j is economically free. And we are a long way from being economically free. We have it on the authority of the US Government that more than half of the famliies in this j great and rich country have an annual income of less than S2000 Many of the families receive consi derably less. What happens to this million-j mass when the inevitable bust does come ? What becomes of their free dom when they are thrust upon relief? And the BUST is coming. You know it and I know it. It’s in the capitalist cards. Industry is working against the backlog' of orders today. But the time is com ing when the slack will be taken up and production will have to de pend for a market on current in come. That’s when the big lav offs ' will begin It won’t come with one crushing blow, but with a series of} blows like a ball bouncing down- ! stairs. The workers who are laid off aren’t very good customers. They quit buying a new pair shoes every year or a new suit as soon as they’re taken off the payrolls. So more shoemakers are laid off and more tailors. Unemployment breeds unemployment. How can you expect race rela tion gains to be secure in a society as economically precarious as this ? How can you hope for prejudice to die when men's hopes and plans are periodically mangled and torn by the anarchy of an outmoded so cial system? I wash some of these 'little by little" people who are so horrified when we talk of Socialism and organizing the working class, and who claim to be inching along toward tolerable conditions—I wish some of these people would tell us how the capitalist system can avert a smash-up. Or how the in-! evitable smash-up can fail to hurl all society backward, perhaps as far as barbarism. CONNECTICUT HAS NEGRO REFEREE HARTFORD. Conn.

(CNS)—Ma bel Fairbanks, the darling of the ice and the only recognized Negrc girl iceskater, lias just been signed as a feature in the new revue “Hollywood On Ice” which premi ers at Long Beach, Callif.. October 12th. Rehearsals begin Sept. 10th. The announcement was made by the Petroff Productions, 6636 Hollywood Blvd., sponsors of the lavish show. The news came as a complete surprise, though the Pe troff Productions had been nego j tiating for some time to get Miss Fairbanks' services. Yet. just recently, Elizabeth Chandler, a producer in New York tried without results to bring the skating wonder to New York for her new show at the Iceland Re staurant on Broadway. After se J veral days of debating passed, Mrs. Chandler finally disbanded ideas on the proposed all-Negro show- and quickly put an unknown Negro skater, Holkina (Lucky) Petersen into a white show. Why Mrs. Chandler had not secured the same spot for Mabel was nev er known but conclusions amount ed to this: either Producer Chand ler was afraid Mabel would skate rings around any other skater she had featured and thus steal the show, or after realizing she was a potential money maker, by under paying her as a star performer on the theory that it was a ‘break' and that Negro iceskater couldn’t be choosy. In any event, Mrs. Chandler’s I many letters and wires to Mabel) in Hollywood pleading with her to • return were a failure because Ma- I bel stuck out for the right thing) and waited for a better chance. That chance is in “Hollywood On i Ice" which will be the first time a Negro has joined the cast as an equal. Lucky Peterson, a Spanish looking giri, does not have that equal chance. As a known inferior skater to Mabel, Lucky, who ap peared with Mabel in two skating, productions put on by Mabel’s i :oach. skates nightlv at the Ice- < land Restaurant in N Y, to the :une of “Shortening Bread” after being anndtmced as our little Ne gro skater. Mabel’s music will be international and her part will be is an American. BEAU JACK WALKS OFF WITH HALF OF G ATE WASHINGTON. D. C.

It is from the Pa pilla that the new hair is created, as it is here we find the nerves and blood vessels. The sebaceous or oil glands emp ty into the hair folicle. If the duct which leads from the sebaceous gland to the hair follicle becomes clogged or stopped up: we must not expect a healthy head of hair. We should mention the arrector muscle which is located just below the sebaceous gland. This muscle does just what the name implies. It holds the hair shaft in place. Perhaps you are wondering just why we have gone so much into detail where the sebaceous gland the papilla and the arrector mus cle are doing their work as they id OUT OF ^ ADAM'S HAT BRADOOCHI6 FATHER MUST HAVE KNO* HE'D BE CHAMP HE NAMED HIM AFTER * James J.

Enthusiasm ran high and plans were made for j AVOID SUSPICIONS, FEAR TO BE HAPPY, SAYS BILL ROBINSON A recipe for lifelong happiness is given in the October American Magazine bv dancer Bill Robinson who says that fear and suspicion are the basis for much of the un friendliness existing in the world today. The motto of the 68-year-old ve teran Negro trouper is avoid sus picions and be a giver, sharing your time, energy, money, and happiness with those less fortun ate. "If we go around suspecting and fearing the people of other coun tries, of other races and creeds, we are going to set up forces that will keep us from making their friend ship. and them making ours, ever,’ Bill states. “I tell you. its a won derful thing to meet people with out suspicion”. Bill is aware that a lot of peo ple think him foolish because he has given away much of the three million dollars he estimates he has earned in 60 years of professional entertaining. But he explains, “there are plen ty of other folks who think I’m a pretty good fellow because I have helped them along when the going was tough. I feel a person has got to be giver. “The way I look at it, I can work and work and dance a million miles and make a million dollars, and the only good money is to me is to keep mv family and friends wTell and happy; to give me a home and a good car to ride in. and all the ice cream I can eat. “Taking an interest in other peo ple and sharing happiness with them keeps me young. When I think how little I started out with and how much I have today, it seems like a miracle and I have to share it. In a way, I get a share j of all other people's energy and youth when I make them happy and take an interest in them”. future activities. Virsie Winston Bailey, pres. Christine Althouse, secy.

Dempsey believes that Tami Mauriello. who is scheduled to go with Louis Sept. 18, isn’t the type of fellow likely to beat Joe. In addition to the Dempsey story ' the September SPORT contains a full-length biographical sketcch of Joe Louis by Jack Sher. / ACROSS 1 Gseek letter 5 Fodder vat I 9 Mine entrance 10 Verbal 11 Prescribed regimen ‘ 12 Fat 13 Forming 15 Hawaiian food | 17 Fabulous bird 18 Unit of electrical resistance 21 Grain 23 Humor 25 Sloth 26 Funeral song 1.28 Rock debris at cliff base (geol.) 3G Compass point (abbr.) 31 Acquire 33 Forbids 34 Inlet from the sea 36 Monetaiy unit (Bulg.) i 38 Pig pen 39 Bodily infirmity 42 Insignifi cant trifle 43 Extent of canvas (naut.) 45 Afresh 46 Prong ) 47 Spreads grass to dry 48 Seaweed DOWNv 1 Not good 2 Building Solution In Next Issue. 777?.T P P Y//A‘ P r”I* Y//A 3 One row „ of many 4 Oil of rose petals 5 Plead for 6 Persia 7 Very slow (mus.) 8 Ancient L4 Cut as grass L5 A mark to show theme taken up Cm ns.) 16 Tanker car rying oil 19 Frequent 20 Little miss No. 12 22 Ovum 24 Flap 27 Plant dis ease. cab bage. etc. 29 Enduring_ 32 Evening sun god ' (Egypt.) 35 New Eng land state 37 Goddess of the hearth (Rom.) 40 Frosted 41 Claw /' 42 Plump 44 Meadow \ Answer to Pauls Number II KING COLE TRIO HEADLINES CONVENTION HALL IN N.
