A THOUGHT FOR
TODAY
Whet you dislike in
another, take cere to
correct in yourself.—
—Thomas Sprat.
Personal n. Collective Efforts
That which is needed in this
hour can no longer be fresh
experiments in personal medi
ation doomed to fresh misin-
terpretation. What remains to
be tried is an effort by ail men
of authority in ail countries
conscious of the great gravity
of the situation ‘"to cooperate
in preventing the supreme
catastrophe" and to lay the
specter of war and enmity be-
tween nations. There may
even now be time for such si
supreme collective effort to
produce a response. There
could not then remain any
doubt that it proceeds not out
of panic fear but from a calm
resolution to leave nothing un-
done to show that "we stand
for a peace of equality for all
and of justice for all,” but that
in the last resort, if not we hut
others so determine, we are
together “resolutely determin-
ed to maintain our own liber-
ty” at whatever sacrifice that
resolution may demand.—
Yorkshre Post.
Judgment
We judge ourselves by what
we feel capable of doing, while
others judge us by what we
have already done.—Longfel-
low. 1
If you can’t be a pine on the
top of the hill, be a scrub in
the valley—but be the best
little scrub by the side of the
rill; be a bush if you can’t be a
tree.—Douglas Maliock.

WASHINGTON . . art*
Whenever I have an oppor-
tunity to roam around Wash-
ington, where I lived and went
to school from the time 1 was
ten until I was 21, I get new
impressions of the Nation’s
Capita], and the people who
live in it
More and more I am im-
pressed with the feeling that
Washington is becoming the
nation's center not only politi-
cally but in the fields of
science and the arts, as well as
of information on every
imaginable subject
In the library of Congress,
for example, there are more
books and documents than in
any other one place in the
world, all indexed and avail-
able for reference. A new
eight-million-doilar annex has
just been added to the Library
to accommodate the growing
store of knowledge on every
subject under the sun.
The new National Art Gal-
lery, the gift of the late An-
drew Mellon, is nearing com-
pletion. It will house the
finest collection of paintings in
the world, in addition to two
great art collections already in
Washington. Nearly all the
important scientific societies
have headquarters in Wash-
ington, and more and more na-
tional business organizations
are establishing themselves in
the Capital also.

THINK THIS OVER
We have a bakery in oar midst, that's a credit to any
town,
And if you continue buying foreign bread, it's even-
tually going down.
It supports our schools and churches, and contributes
to the town's welfare,
And should our community fail—in all its tasks—
what does the outside fellow care ?
Let’s pledge ourselves to buy at home — from the
ones who help us live;
For after all—when we need-—a little help——what
does the outside merchant give?
So when you want good old home-made—cakes and
bread—and we guarantee it—good and fine—
Remembr. you can get—just what you want—by
calling Number Nine!

GROCERIES
.Timpson
make up the American people
there is a higher percentage of
Negroes than the average for
the whole nation. The largest
Negro institution of learning,
Howard University, is located
in Washington, turning out
doctors, lawyers and teachers
who go forth to serve the peo-
ple of their own race.
There is a large number of
Negroes of both sexes employ-
ed in the Government offices.
Nearly all official elevators are
run by colored girls, and the
messenger, doorkeeper and
janitor staffs of the depart-
ments are practically all Ne-
groes. They get good pay,
life jobs and pensions at re-
tirement age. A few Negroes
hold really important Govern-
ment positions, but they are
the exceptions. -
The majority of Washington
Negroes live in alley slums,
which furnish about the worst
living conditions to be found
in any large city. Many pnblic
officials have tried to do some-
thing about the Washington
slums, but little has been done
effectively.
t t t
VOTES . . . segregation
For years there has been a
strong movement to give the
citizens of the District of
Columbia the right to vote. So
many of those holding Govern-
ment offices, however, find it
important to retain their voting
residences in their home states,
that the movement to give the
District residents the franchise
has been blocked by the fear
of Negro control of the local
government as much as by any
other one cause. Nearly a third
of Washington’s permanent
residents are Negroes.
While separate schools are
provided for the colored folk,
they cannot legally be segre-
gated in street cars or exclud-
ed from seats in theaters.
Once across the Potomac, in
Virginia, Negroes have to ride
in “Jim Crow” cars.
t t t
PREJUDICE .. equality
1 seem to have got into a
discussion of racial prejudices.
That subject is up toward the
top of world discussions right
now. It is almost (inescapable.
I know few. if any, persons
who do not have a feeling that
some or all people of other
races than their own are in-
ferior in one way or another. I
believe that is an inherent and
ineradicable trait of human na-
ture. But such prejudices are
no excuse for depriving those
we dislike of their comm
human rights.
We can admire the achieve-
ments of persons of a different
race without giving a blanket
indorsement of the whole race.
The wise thing, it seems to me,
is to tolerate all races and wel-
come whatever contributions
they can make to the general
good, without either banishing
them, as Hitler is doing with
the Jews, or opening the doors
of our private lives to them.
Equality under the law is
one thing, which every good
American should insist upon,
especially if the legal rights of
one of another race are in-
fringed. But social equality is
something else. The right to
choose one’s associates and
friends is as sacred as the

MUSIC . . achievement*
There are two races which
stand out among all others for
their achievements in the field
of music. They are the Jews
and the Negroes. Probably a
majority of the outstanding
musicians of tbe past two cen-
turies hare been Jews. Certain-
ly musical ability is more
common among Negroes than
among the white races gener-
ally.
Many eminent critics of to-
day acclaim Marian Andersen,
a Negress, as the greatest sing-
er of modern times. In Wash
ington no hall large enough to
hold the crowds who wants to
hear her can be obtained.
The largest auditorium in
the Nation's capita! is Consti-
tution Hell, which is owned
by the Daughters of the Amer-
ican Revolution, and the D. A.
R. has refused to let it be used
for the Anderson concert.
Heifetz, Elman, Menuhin and
other famous Jewish musicians
have given concerts there, but
Marian Anderson has been
barred because of htr color.
The ladies are, of course,
entirely within their rights.
There probably are few if any
Jewish members of the D.AJL,
and certainly no Negroes. Bat
racial prejudices are racial
prejudices and the line ia
drawn sharply in Washington,
even against a great artist.
The Greatest Need
“Countless as are the needs
of the present world, none is
greater than the need of spiri-
tual power.”—John D. Rocke-
feller, Jr.
In this way we want to ex-
press our appreciation to our
dear friends that came and of-
fered a helping hand in our
deep sorrow. We shall also
never forget those words of
comfort, which made our bur-
dens lighter. May God be with
you all when such sorrow
comes in your home.
