UNUSUAL CAREERS FOR
COLORED WOMEN
CHICAGO — Many young colored
women with talent and ambition are
puzzled about the choice of a voca
tion. In the past, the range of voca
tional offerings for them has been
very limited. The result is that new
opportunities existing today are not
generally known. In order to help
these young women, Home Circuit,
The Magazine For Bronze Women,
has started a “Career Comer" to pre
sent the latest information on unusual
careers for their benefit.
As a public service, Mrs. Marie
Ferguson Peters, an experienced mem
ber of the Home Circuit staff, is spar
ing no efforts to present examples of
colored women who are succeeding in
new fields. She will welcome informa
tion about women engaged in inter
esting and unique occupations.

Speakers at the public meeting in
Holy Trinity auditorium included Jes
se D. Locker, Cincinnati councilman;
Eugene Fulton, Catholic Negro law
yer; Dr. R. E. Clark, member of the
Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Com
mittee; and Charles Lobert, Negro
Catholic layman. Father Arnold Wix
man was a chairman of the meeting.
In their private discussions, the
priests emphasized the moral aspects
of racial discrimination.
If the Dodgers have not been note
worthy for fair play in baseball in the
past, they have now become base
ball’s outstanding exponent of a much
more significant kind of fair play, ra
cial tolerance, which is something that
all true Americans, even those who
cannot distinguish a ball from a strike,
will warmly applaud. This is not to
say that Robinson is being used as an
experiment in public relations; he is
in the big leagues because he deserves
to be there. He led the International
league last year in hitting and in other
departments.”
“Much o fthe credit for the Brook
lyn team’s decision to sign Robinson
goes to Father Raymond J. Campion,
a Brooklyn pastor, who has long con
ducted a one-man campaign in favor
of deserving Colored players.”
“The hiring of Negro players cer
tainly will not detract from the qual
ity of major-league baseball, sports
writers who know the Colored leagues
say that the stars o fthese leagues can
match anything the major circuits
have to offer. They point out, that
Colored players, who have a keen
sense of the dramatic, can make the
humblest pop-fly interesting to the ]
spectators—a box-office consideration I
that ball club owners cannot afford to
overlook.”
But Christian fair play should, of
course, be the first reason for admit
ting Colored players to the major
leagues. To prevent their playing is as
un-Christian as it is un-democratic.
America’s favorite game should be
made a truly all-American game.”
PET MILK BABIES
I A year ago four little girls were
bom in Madison, North Carolina.
They are the daughters of Mr. and
Mrs. James Fultz. Because of the
rarity of the birth of quadruplets the
Pet Milk Co. adopted these little girls
For ten years. Pet Milk Co. gave the
family $25,000, and purchased them
a 160 acre farm, and hired a trained
nurse to take care of the girls. For
the $25,000 received by the Fultz
family the Pet Milk Co. like other
milk companies reserve the right to
use these girls in their advertising
campaigns.
Friday, May 23, these quadruplets
will celebrate their first birthday.
They are Mary Ann, Mary Louise,
Mary Alice, and Mary Catherine.

their own community.” The town and
its founder are hailed by Laura V.
Hammer in The Reader’s Digest for
June.*
Miss Hamner’s article, condensed
from St. Louis Post-Dispatch, says
that North Heights is a town of home
owners, not renters. Eighty-year-old
Matthew “Bones” Hooks, its founder,
was bom of parents who had been
slaves. His lifelong dream of an ex
clusively Negro community was real
ized after overcoming many obstacles
along the way. Well known in Amar
illo, largely because of his ability in
breaking wild horses to the saddle,
Hooks persuaded the mayor to ad
vance the money to buy a tract of 105
acres for his proposed all-Negro town.
I After the big opening-day sale of lots,
| however, a slump in land values
| caused many buyers to regret their
i down payments.
With his lifetime savings Hooks
built a two-story building on the tract
and adapted it as a meeting place for
Negroes. By degrees he succeeded in
getting a water main, a gas main and
electricity extended to the city. Later
a paved street was run through the
development.
The town grew slowly but surely.
“Today,” the article states, “natural
gas for cooking and heating, tele
phones, a store, a post office and a bus
line to the city make life comfortable.”

CATHOLIC NEWSPAPERS URGE
' FEPC PASSAGE
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 22—
(Special)—Editorials in at least two
leading Catholic newspapers have in
recent weeks called upon their readers
to “go to work” directly on the law
makers through letters, phone calls,
and personal contacts, for the passage
of Fair Employment Practice Legisla
tion.
In a leading editorial the Pittsburg
Catholic, official newspaper of the
Diocese of Pittsburg, exhorted its read
ers to urge their representatives to
pass the FEPC bill now being consid
ered by the Pennsylvania Legislature.
Meanwhile, the Michigan Catholic,
official organ of the Archdiocese of
Detroit, re-echoed the warning of
George Schermer, chairman of the
Michigan Council for Fair Employ
ment Legislation, that “time for ac
tion” as regards the FEPC bill now
before the Michigan legislature "is
fast running out,” arid urged those
citizens “who signed petitions for an
FEPC to go to work directly on the
lawmakers.”
“CHRISTIAN FAIR PLAY” REA
SON, FOR NEGROES IN BIG
LEAGUES, SAYS CATHOLIC
NEWSPAPER
CINCINNATI, O., May 22—(Spe
cial)—“Christian fair play should be
the first reason for admitting Colored
players to the major leagues,” accord
ing to an editorial in the Telegraph
Register, official newspaper of the
Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati,
published here. The article assert*,
that Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn Dod
gers’ Negro first baseman, is “in the
big leagues because he deserves to be
there” and noted that his hiring is due
in part to the efforts of Father Ray
mond J. Campion, Brooklyn Catholic
priest, who for some time has cam
paigned in favor of deserving Negro
players.
The editorial is as follows:
“The deflated Dodgers of Brooklyn
have reinstated themselves in the good
graces of their fans as quickly as you
could say Jackie Robinson. They have
done so by giving a contract to a Ne
gro player by that name—the first
«egro in major-league baseball since
.884.”

Dips and Peaks
* i |
By GEORGE S.BENSON
Prerident of Hording Collego
Searcy. Arkansas
.. B !
PRACTICAL economists view the
business outlook in terms of
peaks and valleys. They have
come to accept the ups and downs
of the charts as interpretation of
the myriad factors indicative of
trends that may take place in our
changing, dynamic economy. But
the query is put: How can we
avoid depressions? Must we take
these periodic back - sets for
granted ? Is there not danger for
America in depressions?
These questions are sometimes
honestly asked by critics of what
they call “boom and bust” capi
talism. Yes, there is danger in
depressions. They’re full of dy
namite. We might wish to avoid
the effects of every kind of busi
ness recession, but to say that we
desire to give up freedom of in
dividual opportunity for a regi
mentation so thorough that we
can avoid depressions would be to
swap temporary set-back for per
manent disaster.
Level AMERICA’S economy is
Iioad? a changing economy. It
is dynamic. And its di
rection, always, has been up
wards toward the mountain peaks
of a higher and higher standard
of living for all her citizens. It
is just possible that we could
stay in the valley, finding a level
road that would be smooth and
easy. Some folks mistakenly call
this "security.” But if we would
have the mountain peaks of high
er and higher standards of living,
then we must be prepared for the
brief plateaus, or even the dips,
of readjustment for the climb
ahead.
_ This need be no bitter revela
tion. The price of no depression
would mean accepting a static
economy. We can have "no prog
ress” along with “no depression.”
A static America, however, would
not be a progressive, inventive, |
virile America. »i
Upward THERE ARE freedoms
Still which thrive in the dy- ■
namic economy, and not j
the least of them is freedom of 1
opportunity. Almost within our
own generation the working man
has had his hours cut nearly one
third. Real wages of the un
discovered” common - man have
tripled in many industries. Sec
ondary school enrollments have ■
increased ten times, and college I
education is available to every- 1
one. The physical comforts and
the luxury goods consumed by
America’s common-man are the
envy of the whole world. All this
has taken place, despite depres
sions.
This is not to say that Amer
ica should accept serious business
recessions without making any
effort to cushion their effect. A
wealth of experience from the un
certain Thirties should enable
Congress to meet future emer
gencies with more success. We
shall be able to avoid the mistake
of blaming overproduction, for we
now know that to admit overpro
duction is to admit that we can
offer a higher standard of living
than our people can accept.
America can keep going ahead
on the climb upward toward
heights now undreamed of, if
we rededicate ourselves to hon
est effort in understanding and
using the system -that has
brought us so much. Recognizing
the laurels that belong already to
the American way, we may scale
heights that yet have never been
surveyed. Let us not just take
depressions for granted; let’s
take them in stride. [
Quick-Frozen Apple Sauce Gets
Top Rating As Spring Dessert
APPLE SAUCE made from crisp,
orchard-fresh apples is a zest
ful treat that used to be limited to
the harvest season. But, nowadays,
quick-freezing makes fresh-flavored
apple sauce a treat all the family
can enjoy right now when the
spring's apple blossoms are still
buds. This delicacy, now abundant
ly available in local stores, is all
'sugared, spiced and sieved; ready
to serve as soon as it’s thawed.
Co-starred with gingerbread, this
fresh-flavored apple sauce is sure
to score a hit with all the family
as a glamour dessert. The ginger
bread may be baked in a flat cake
and served in squares, or it may
be baked in cup cake form. Observe
cooking time and temperature care
fully, because gingerbread burns
easily on the bottom and edges if
the heat is not properly controlled.
Always serve the gingerbread spicy
and warm, topped generously with
apple sauce, cold or hot. as you

1$ THERE SUCH A THING AS
PERFECT
WOMANHOOD ?
"No”—claim medical authorities, who ought to
know! Nature has so constructed and physi
cally endowed woman that in many cases she’s
apt to suffer certain distressing symptoms
during her life. For instance, when she enters
womanhood—or during the menopause, the
period when fertility ebbs away.
Now if on ‘certain days’ of the month—fe
male functional monthly disturbances are
causing you to suffer from pain, nervous dis
tress and feel so tired, cranky, you snap at
your children and husband—men do try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to relieve
such symptoms. It’s famous for this purpose.
* Made ESPECIALLY For Girls and Women 1
Pinkham’s Compound does more than relieve
Buch monthly pain. It also relieves accom
panying nervous tension, irritability and weak,
highstrung feelings—when due to this cause.
Taken regularly thrucut the month — this
great medicine helps build up resistance
against such distress. A thing any sensible
woman should want to do!
Lydia Pinkham’s Compound is also very
effective to relieve hot flashes and those funny,
embarrassing feelings during the years 38 to
52—when due to the functional ‘middle-age’
period peculiar to women.
Pinkham’s Compound is worth trying!
