FBI Chief Urges
Youth to Join
the FBI
Chicago.—"The Negro has
proven his worth as a law en
forcement officer,” FBI chief
J. Edgar Hoover declares in an
October Negro Digest feature
and urges young Negroes to
enter law enforcement as a car
eer, saying:
The Negro has made invalu
sion and has an essential place
in the future of this great field
of public service.
In this article written espec
ially for Negro Digest’s “Fut
ure of Negro Youth” series,
Mr. Hoover warns:
“Before recommending law
enforcement as a career for any
youth, I would ask him to ex
amine himself carefully and to
decide what it is he wants out
of life. If he is seeking fame or
fortune, he should not turn to
law enforcement. Few achieve
fame in law enforcement. Few
er still grow rich.”
f Bells That Sing Out
Have you ever gone to the wrong
entrance when the door chime, bell
or knocker sounded? A new electric
door chime has been developed to
eliminate these unnecessary steps.
It features three different musical
signals — a continuous harmony
chord that sounds as long as the
caller presses the button; two sym
phonic notes in sequence, and a sin
gle resonant note. One signal is used
for the front door, one for the back
and the third for a side entrance, or
to code-page members of the family
for phone calls.
$50 Fine!
Nebraska law provides that a
minor is subject to a fine up to
$50 for misrepresenting his or
her age for the purpose of
purchasing alcohol beverages.
The latest in a series of poster*
calling attention to this law,
furnished gratis by the Nebras
ka Division, U. S. Brewers
Foundation, is now in the
hands of every beer retailer.
This poster, headed “$50
Fine!”, is designed to help re
tailers prevent under-age per
sons from procuring or con
suming beer.
Virtually all Nebraska beer re
tailers want 100 percent ob
servance of the “No Sales to
Minors” law. and they wel
come every aid to that end.
“Sworn Statement of .Age”
blanks, also furnished free by
the Nebraska Division, are
used by many retailers with
good results.
These services to beer retailers
—in the public interest—are a
part of the brewing industry’s
program of self-regulation.
Our aim is to have beer han
dled in a manner deserving of
full public approval.

get a bird that’s young and tender,
with plenty of fat under the skin.
The body should be well-rounded
and the breast well-fleshed. In cook

bigger the bird, the lower your oven
temperature should be.

Nature of Wool
What is wool? It is the hair ok
the sheep, an animal fiber, a pro
tein substance. It ranks topmost in
Its field and its varied utilization in
the wearing apparel industry is so
great as to assure its pre-eminence
in the manufacture of both smart
and utility clothing, especially
where protection from cold is essen
tial. There are substitutes for wool, ;
one of the most successful being 1
Lanital, an artificial fiber made in
Italy in 1936. Another, produced in j
the United States in 1940, is called I
Aralac. Both substitutes are made '
from casein, a product of skimmed
milk.

Primitive Origin
The universality of man’s love of !
color was demonstrated early in j
antiquity, ^ach region and sub-re
gion of the globe developed its own I
dye sources. It is estimated that I
nearly 1,000 different plants, vines, .
shrubs and trees were, at one time j
or another, employed for extract j
ing dyes. However ;,uy a few of
the primitive ayes survived to an
cient and medieval times.
Give Plants Milk Bath
A milk bath will brighten up ivy,
philodendrum and snake plants il
the look a bit dull. Dip a soft
cloth in skimmed milk and lightly
rub the surface of the leaves that
appear dull, is the advice of Cor
nell specialists.
Start of Nylons
Women’s nylon hosiery were Intro*
duced to the public in May, 1940. ,
Within a year, nylon yam was/
