News dispatches tell of another attempt to get all of
"our folks" interested in a trip to Africa where they will be
allowed to help the Countries of Liberia Haiti and Abyssinia
to become world powers. The redoubtable Marcus Garvey
figures m these dispatches to a great extent and they come
perilously close to the dispatches telling of his plea to the
white bouth to encourage this newest exodus of the Negro
By now the thinking people of the country have tired
of Garvey and the blatant schemes sf hi3 for the coining
of easy money. They have begun to realize that their fu
ture lies not so much "in going to Africa where they will as
he says "be free to carry on their own affairs in their own
way" as it does in living here in America and making the
best of the opportunities that are evident on every hand
here. ' " " ''
; America now is the best country in the world as far as
we can see. It has its unfortunate and .unfavorable sides it
i3 true. But what country is there which does not have
them? It contains prejudice of the most virulent sort and
some of the jnost frequently met features' of it are savage
in the extreme but it does offer the needed .ppportunity for
the growth and development that we need most at this time
Garvey speaks so often of building great financial pro-
jects in the countries to which we will go. Those same pre
lects can be fostered here and m reality must be reared here
if they would.be guaranteed in those new fields which he
says that we should seek.
Migration to Africa may appeal to the more credulous
among us. cut tnose wno tmnK cieariy wwDe convinced
I that if we are failures in a commercial way here we most
likely will be the same there. It does not stand to reason
! that we would change miraculously in so short a time..
I - In the meantime as we think of the things that we hope
to do and become in the days to come let us realize that if
we cannot succeed m America with them we will not succeed
:in Africa where the problems.will.be of a totally different
nature. Even Garvey himself falls under the operation of
this same rule. If he has not made a success of the Black
Star Line and the allied concerns that he has fostered here
.there is no reason to feel that he can or will make a success
of them in another place whose customs he does not know.
Liberia and Abyssinia need help it is true.' But if we
have not as yet been able to solve our own problems of the
simplest sort for ourselves how can we hope to be of any
real service to those who have already by their own efforts
done better than we?
AMERICA EXCLUDES

Those who may have Imagined
that the hatred of the Japanese
was limited to the Taciflo Coast
where they had become bo num-
erous as to become .. unwelcome
competitors of the fruit growers
of that section now may be con-
vinced that there la no real love
for them anywhere la America;
et least that may be claimed In
ttie light of the exclusion act oa

the exclusion of these people was

of the white people of America

RICKETS
DR. J. O. HARDIN
Rickets Is chronic disease of nu
trition In children. It Is a condition
characterized by softening- and oth-
er anatomical changes in the bones.
The disease Is one that results from
disturbed metabolism which affects
chiefly the bones but also the mus-
cles ligaments mucous membranes
and nearly all the organs of the
body. The disease occurs especial-
ly between the ages of six and
eighteen months while the disease
Is not always fatal Itself. Rickets
adds very greatly to the danger from
all acute diseases In Infancy. In large
cities among the poor and those of
unsanitary surrroundlnga the dis
ease Is very common occurance and
Is the disease from which inrants
most frequently suffer. Clinically
the disease In Its early stages Is
very difficult to recognise.. Most
cases having been discovered only
by Post Mortem.
The cause of this disease is from
Improper feeding bad hyglenlo sur-
roundings. The children that are ar-
tificially fed are much mora prone
to the disease. Rickets is essential-
ly a disease of cltlea being most
often seen In children living in
crowded tenements where in ad-
dition to Improper food the hygienic
surroundings are poorest (For this
reason poor ventilation filth and
lack of sunlight have been regarded
a potent facts in producing the dis-
ease. The treatment of Rickets Is
the job of an expert the treatment
covers diet hygiene medicinal and
treatment of the rachitic deformities.
Dallas maintains several baby clin-
ics which Is established for the bet-
ter health of babies and children.
The advantages offered there are
too numerous. If you have a baby
or child you should take ad-
vantage of the clinics. Experts aay
that 90 out of .every 100 children
has some form of Rickets. "

There is a division of thought among the Negroes of

The good-will tour can do much good. It should teach
the visitors that all of the progress is not being made above
the "line." It will give to those in the South a more inti-
mate knowledge of their brothers in the North and a proof
of their willingness to do their bit in making the general

Washington D. C I am still
knocking around Washington but
I am not job bunting. So Many
men come here Job hunting look-
ing fine and w(th a few dollars
In their pocket and are sure that
they are going to land. Day after
day they see- or seek to see their
Congress men who is going to
land them and money gives out
clothes get seedy and they jUBt
go on down and down until they
land with the dogs.
This job hunting business
around Washington is Just some-
thing awful awful and often men
I have landed in their graves witli-
Mt getting a landing and if they
miss heaven like they missed the
job it Is still awful awful. I do
not like to hear of any one going
down to that place but they are
landing there on regular through
trains and do not return. It is
not a train that will go there
and then right back although it
may be the only noe on the track
There are many political aspir
ant wrecks here. I am urging my
people not to get fixed on polit
ical jobs. I am now thinking of our
friend Judson W. Lyons the man
who one time held a big job.
and the wreck came he never
got back to where he once was.
Th two great Methodist bodies
of our people are getting ready
to go Into their big meetings.
The African Methodists will be
In Ioulsrille Ky.. and the African
Methodist Zions In Indianapolis
Ind. They are going to take up
church matters and of course
racial matters will come up also
Foremost in the minds of many
will be elections. There are aspl
rants in church as well as in
state and they work as hard.
We cannot be elected president of
the United States nor governors
of any of the states just now but
we can be bishops and general
officers and other big church
positions. To be elected bishop
you are elected for life unless they
decide to retire you and still you
are a bishop but you do not func-
tion except to draw your allot-
ment There are some strong men in
the race for alt the positions.
There are of course more stalls
than horses or more horses than
stalls. I do not know how many
bishops are to be elected In the
general conference but I know
that the A. M. E. Bishops will
recommend two to be associated
with them and they declare that
they do not need any more hue
I am of the opinion that when
that episcopal committee begins
to look into the work and their
extensive future program they
will recommend more. This will
be carried out.
There are strong men making
the race. Rev. John A. Gregg
will heve to land and then Dr.
A. It. Gaines. Dr. R. C. Ransom
Dr. G. B. Young Dr. W. R.
Iance Dr. M W Thornton are
up and then comes that scholar-
ly leader of men. Dr. A. J. Wil
son of North Carolina. Why not
Just make Gregg Wilson and
Ransom and then if you can get
Lindsay and R. A. Grant in do so?
I do not know what else to say
about this but I do know that
they are getting their 'ducks in
line?
Now as to the general officers
each are " out announcing - what
they will do If elected and then
comes to ' the front. Dr. S. J.
Johnson of San Antonio Texas
with a great program for the
Church extension and I would
like to see him in line and with
an opportunity to work out what
be has In that great head of his.
Now when It comes to the depart-
ment of missions' there will be
som scramble for it. There is Dr.
Noah Williams the man who Is
going to entertain the general con-
ference and he will have Kentucky
and othr places behind him and
I would mention Dr. J. A. Hadley
of Georgia who comes to the
front with a great big Georgia
following behind him and Rev.
C. W. Abington from Texas and
there are still others. Rev. Dur-
den. and another whose nam I
do not recall.
Rev. C. A Wtngfleld will lay
down presiding eldership and be
editor of the A. M. E. Church Re-
view succeeding then Bishop
Ransom. That will be a good
choice. Of course yotr know Rev.
Sims Is knocking at the fin-
ancial door but Just what will
be we are not prepared to say
just now. But Prof. John R. Haw-
kins will - succeed himself and
there will be S. S. Morris going
to the position of Allen Christian
Endeavor League and he will not
have any opposition.
Editor Wright will return and
the same is true of Dr. D. M.
Baxter business manager. No
power on earth will be able to
stop this young business giant
He has given the church a
wonderful administration and the
Business iManager and the Editor
have worked like two peas in a

At night there was a reception
given celebrating the silver an
niversary of Rev. R. R. Wright
jr. into the ministry and one
of his birthdays into the world.
They did not say which one it
was. hut it was one of them and
one worth while. He spent fifteen
years editing the Christian Record-
er and 7 years as editor and
manager of the Recorder and
Book Concern. He was at one
time professor of Greek and He-
brew in the Payne Theological
Seminary Wilberforce and has
been a worker for hla people. I

It was a great occasion. Of
course they had many things to

done and how he had brought out
the Christian Recorder. He had
served well. Each speaker had nice
things to say and then they pre
sented him with a loving cup.
Mother and father were there
and they were protid of their son.
They had done much for the race
for the world and did not hesi

others for the good things that
had been said by them concern'

Oh Horse you are a wonderful
thing
No buttons to push no clutch to
slip
No sparks to miss no gears to
strip
No license buying every year.
With plates to screw on front and

No gas bill climbing up each day
Stealing the joy of life away.
No speed cop chugging in your
rear
Yelling summons in your ear.
Your inner tubes are all O. K.
And thank the Lord they stay
that way
Your spark plugs never miss and

Your motor never makes uu cuss
Your frame is good for many a

Your" body never changes style
Your wants are few and easy met.
