NEGROES
Atlanta, Ga.—(CNS)—During 1931,
white criminals in Georgia have in-
creased twice as fast as Negro law-
breakers, and are incarcerated in the
county jails for much more serious
crimes according to the state depart-
ment of public welfare.
The commitments to county jails
during 1931 recorded an increase of
7 per cent over 1930—the commit-
ments representing a total of 19 out
of every 1,000 of population in the
state. *
While both white and Negro groups
showed a gain, the increase in whites
was 10 per cent against a 6 per cent
growth in the Negro population of
our jails.
Only a few years ago there were
about two Negroes in jail in the state
to one white person, but this ratio
has steadily changed until now the
two groups are practically equal, with
the white population exceeding that

BINGA FAILS TO
TAKE STAND TO
DEFEND HIMSELF
Chicago, III.—(ANP)—At a late
hour Monday afternoon a jury in the
court of Judge John Prystalski was
considering what punishment, if any,
should be meted out to Jesse Binga,
former president of the defunct Bin-
ga State bank, who all last week was
on trial in connection with the alleged
disappearance of some $39,000 which

Old "Chained Libraries"
Preserved in England
Ever since there have been books
there have been book thieves. And
in medieval times, when books were
rare and valuable, libraries took no
chances with would-be "borrowers,"
but chained their volumes and manu-
scripts securely to their shelves.
Several of these "chained libraries"
still exist in England, but among them
the one at Hereford cathedral is
unique in several ways.
It is definitely one of the oldest-

WHITE PEACE-MAKE WOUNDED
St. George, S. C.—(ANP)—Murch
Jackson, white, in acting as a peace-
maker near here Thursday morning,
came near reaping that heavenly re-
ward promised to all peace-makers,
when he was wounded by one of the
belligerents.
According to reports received here
Jackson came upon Marion and Rob-
ert Haynes, brothers, fighting. Rob-
ert was getting the worst of the fray
and pulled a gun. Jackson attempt-
ed to persuade him not to shoot his
brother and was himself shot in the
chest. Robert and Marion are both
in jail pending the recovery of the
wounded peace-maker.
Fish “at Home” on Land
Fishes known as mud-skippers that
are found along the coasts of the In-
dian and Pacific oceans are nearly as
much at home on land as in the water.
When they are stranded on the sands
by receding tides they get over the
ground in remarkable fashion. By
means of their highly developed pec-
toral fins they jump about and climb
up on rocks and other elevated objects
in search of insects. These they catch
on the wing by jumping at them as
they pass by. .
NEW HOMES FOR
TEACHERS AT PV
not
de
The two new homes for teachers
and employees of Prairie View State
College, which have been in process of
construction for the past two months,
have just been completed.
The buildings are two stories high,
containing eleven rooms each, which
are electrically lighted, steam heated,
and furnished out and out with every
modern convenience and comfort. The
two buidings are located on East Cam-
pus, facing north, and were built at
a total cost of $5,000, $2,500 each.
The two teachers’ homes just com-
pleted, as well as the $50,000 dormi-
tory for girls now under way are in
line with the expansion program of
Principal W. R. Banks and the board
of directors of the college to make
ample provisions at Prairie View for
the education of Negroes.
Principal Banks contemplates that
the depression wave now affecting
college and business institutions will
soon pass and the normal attendance
at the college will be resumed. It
is planned, therefore, in order to meet
in advance the demands of this nor-
malcy as well as to provide ample ac-
commodations for the future growth
of the college in general, to continue
its building schedule from year to
year.

Cool Cocktail
With Fruit
and Sherbet
UBTLE flavor
and daintiness
are requisites of
an early sum-
mer fruit cock-
talk And here
is a recipe of
exactly the kind
needed for the
right result; an easily made com-
bination of fresh fruits and pine-
apple sherbet.
The special advantage of the
sherbet is Its content of evaporat-
ed milk which, as so many home-
makers are discovering, contributes
a certain fineness of texture and in-
viting taste, to every kind of frozen
dessert.
Pineapple Sherbet
loop sugar 1 No. 1 can
Few grains salt crushed pine-
1 cup water apple (2%
1 tbsp. lemon juice cups)
14 cups evapo-
rated milk
Add sugar, salt, water, and lemon
juice to pineapple. Let stand In re-
frigerator 20 minutes, stirring oc-
casionally to dissolve sugar. Chill
milk in ice cream can. Add pine-
apple mixture slowly. Freeze with a
1:8 salt-ice mixture. Yield: 1%
quarts.
To make the cocktail, place pieces
of pineapple, orange, grapefruit, or
berries in season, singly, or several
of them together, according to pref-
erence, in glasses. (Be sure that
berries are thoroughly washed.)
Put a small spoonful of sherbet on
fruit, just enough to form an at-
tractive topping, yet not completely
covering it In order to secure the
perfect, pleasing sensation to the
tongue, the cocktail should he
served frosty cold. The sherbet
helps in the chilling. %
• When the family gathers at the
table at the end of a day of sum-
mer heat, when spirits may be wilt-
ed and conversation not too easy,
nothing works a better miracle
than a cool, appetising and eye-
pleasing cocktail of this kind. Try
it and seel
him, he gave it to Mias Inez Cantey,
private secretary to Binga who, in
turn, took the money to her office,
counted it and obtained cashier’s
checks for it which were deposited in
loop banks in the accounts of Binga.
The state holds that the purchasers
of the stock had a right to believe
the Binga bank was receiving the
money because they obtained bank
forms as receipts.
The defense contends that the
money was never a part of the bank
funds, that therefore the bank was
not liable for the payment of this
money, that the court order for pay-
ment was in error, and that Binga
provided enough assets to take care
of these stock payment obligations.
On the strength of these conten-
tions, after several score witnesses
had testified to their purchase of
South Park stock, defense attorney,
John Cashen, white, made a motion
Thursday for a directed verdict of ac-
quittal.
This motion resulted in a clash be-
tween defense and state attorneys
and Judge Prystalski refrained from
making a decision on the issues in-
volved. He. set Friday morning for
a decision and adjourned court so
that he might study the question as
to whether the money was or was not
in the bank and as to whether or not
the bank was liable. Friday morn-
ing, he still had not made up his mind
and set himself to hearing arguments
from the lawyers, deferring a deci-
sion until Monday morning.
When court convened Monday morn-
ing, Judge Phystalski declined to
grant the motion and turned the case
back to the jury.
In his opening statement to the
jury. Attorney Cashen had promised
that Binga would take the stand and
clear himself with his own testimony,
but when Judge Prystaiki refused -to
grant the motion for a directed ver-
diet of acquittal, Mr. Cashen, declin-
ed to place Ms client on the stand.
No defense testimony whatever was
offered and the attorneys for both
sides started arguments before the
jury which consumed most of the day.
Throughout the trial, Mr. Binge
displayed an amazing confidence in
the happy outcome of the case and
has been alert to take advantage of
every point He sat immediately be-
hind his lawyer and kept him sup-
plied with suggestions as the different
witnesses took the stand.
The first day’s testimony of C. N.
Langston, Binga’s former cashier, was
considered the most damaging sub-
mitted against the banker.

Old Methods Employed
by Viking Fishermen
Fishing is now one of the most high-
ly organized Industries in the world.
But although everything has been
“speeded up" and mass production
methods are used for catching fish,
progress has not killed the old long-
line fishermen of the Scandinavian
countries. These Vikings, direct de-
scendants of the reputed discoverers
of America, go to sea in a vessel about
the size of a trawler. On the fore
deck there is a small engine, worked
by steam and about the size of a type-
writer. This is a set of spools for
winding up the line. The twine they
use is no thicker than the string shop
assistants use for tying up parcels,
but it is strong and there are miles
of it on the spools. At intervale all
along the line there are long strings
branching off, and at the end of each
branch a book, belted with a bit of
fish. The number of hooks on one line
may be anything from a thousand to
five thousand. The bait used is gen
orally mussels, whelks, squid and bar-
rings.
Modernism’s Beginnings
We call those things modern which
are widely characteristic of our con-
temporary western type of civilization.
The things which make modern times
modern are in general those which dis-
tinguish our own day from medieval
Europe. Feudal government gave way
to national states, the unity of medie-
val Christianity was broken by the
Protestant reformation. Europe began
to expand overseas, a new Interest de-
veloped In science, serfdom disap-
peared, a new world commerce devel-
oped, the Renaissence-put- new vigor
in art and literature. Printing was
invented. Since these movements took
place in the latter Fifteenth and in the
Sixteenth centuries, it is usual to think
of these years as marking the transi-
tion to the modern period so far as
western Europe is concerned.—Chicago
Tribune.

Sublimity
If you can make the world stare and
look on, there you have vanity or com-
passion to support you; but to bury
all your wretchedness in your own
mind, to resolve that you will have no
man’s pity, while you have one effort
left to procure his respect, to harbor
no mean thought In the midst of ab-
ject poverty; but at the very time you
are surrounded by circumstances of
humility and depression, to found a
spirit of modest independence upon the
consciousness of having always acted
well—this Is a sublime act which,
though It Is found in the shade and
retirement of life, ought to be held up
to the praises of men, and to be looked
upon as a noble model for imitation.-
Sydney Smith.
National Horse Show
The formation of the National
Horae Show of America, controlling
body’ for the sport, came about in
1883, as the result of friendly argu
ments as to which man, among the
wealthy group in that era, owned the
best trotter, the best pacer, the best
jumper, and so on. The Initial Show
was in old Madison Square garden.
New York, on October 22 to 26, 1883.
The democracy of the show was evi-
danced by the fact that although the
main idea waa to settle supremacy
between blooded horses, all types of
horses were invited to participate.

Trace Troubled Dreams
to Prehistoric Period
When a man dreams that he is
falling be never strikes bottom be-
cause his monkey ancestors who fell
from their perches in the forest and
failed to hook their tails over the
limb of a tree during the descent nev-
er lived so that their human descend-
ants could remember crashing to the
ground. And if a man dreams that
he suddenly awoke unclad in a room
full of people, that, too. Is a carry-
over from prehistoric times, when
man went about unclothed.
So believed Prof. William E.
Slaght, wiio for a quarter of a cen-
tury studied sleep. He analyzed
thousands of dreams, seeking to find
their origin, and generally was able
to trace them either to hereditary
causes, such as the monkey falling
from the tree, or to some vivid ex-
perience in the past life of the
dreamer.
In his “Before Adam” Jack London
added that Just because the dreamer
woke up, even if sweating and in a
fright, proved that he had survived
the fall.—Pathfinder Magazine.
Scripture Proves Horse
Was Known to Egyptians
The Egyptians were warriors from
ths beginning of their history, and
had horses in numbers as early as
when Joseph was laying in grain dur-
ing the seven years of plenty before
the coming of the famine years, for
we are distinctly told that he gave
out “bread for horses" (Genesis
47:17) when the people were giv-
ing everything they bad In exchange
for food. Jacob knew horses, too, and
the troubles they were subject to
when before his death in Egypt he
described Dan as an adder “that bit-
eth the horse heels" (Genesis 49;
17) referring to the serpent called the
cerastes, which lurks in camel tracks
on desert sand trails. The book of
Exodus (Chapter XIV) gives us s
vivid account of Pharaoh’s 000 horse-
drawn chariots, and his cavalry being
overthrown and drowned in the Red
sea.
Earliest Periodicals
The beginning of the periodical was
in the Seventeenth century, when in
1646 catalogues of books were intro-
duced. In 1665 the Journal des Scav-
ana was printed in France, and in the
same year Acta Philosophica. These
might be said to be the parents of the
periodical. In 1760 the Tatler was es-
tablished, 1711 the Spectator, 1712 the
Guardian and 1710 the Examiner. In
1782 the North Briton appeared and
in 1781 the Gentleman’s Magazine. It
was in imitation of the latter maga-
zine that Benjamin Franklin founded
’ the General Magazine in 1741 in Phil-
adelphia. One of the most notable
early attempts of the publication of
the magazine in this country was ths
Pennsylvania Magazine, 1775A. This
was the joint work of Robert Aitkin
and Thomas Paine.
SCHOOL OF PEN
Bryn Mawr, Pa.—The Bryn Mawr
branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is going
forward with plans to carry a school
segregation case to court in spite of
continued criticism by the Ardmore,
(Ps.) Daily Times. The newspaper
has written several editorials saying
the local N. A. A. C. P. officers were
good people, but they were “poorly
advised,” in opposing the segregation.
The paper contends that the school
board at Berwyn, in deciding to send
the white children to a brand new
school next fall and keep the colored
children in the old buiding, was “im-
proving the colored race.” The N.
A. A. C. P. branch does not think that
handing Negro children second hand
buildings which are regarded as unfit
for white children, is improving the
race. Plans are being formulated for
the legal fight.
