appears to be habitable but which
has the fatal shortcoming of being
built on shiftless sand! 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.

Gets Break in

NEW YORK City.. (CNS)—Ma

as a feature in the new revue
“Hollywood On Ice” which premi

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

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

FALLING HAIR (Continued)
From the bottom of the hair
follicle we find the papilla or mo
ther of the hair. 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

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”.

DEMPSEY SAYS LOUIS
CONTENDERS ARE SCARCE
Not since the time Jack Johnson
was heavyweight champion of the
world, has there been such a dea
rth of contenders for the crown,
claims Jask Dempsey in an exclu
sive story in the September issue
of SPORT, the new magazine for
sports spectators. “Just as in John
son’s dav, there isn’t a single con-1
tender of real ability on the hori-1
zon”, reports Dempsey.
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.
