*=rv r 0 r By Arthur Sridbaac; WARNING TO PARENTS. 8 MILLION LITTLE PIGS. RIDING A DRIVING WHEEL EASTMAN’S MILLIONS. All fathers and mothers should be put on their guard by the death of the President's son. The boy wore shoes, or sandals, with no stockings, as thousands of boys and girls do, every day in Summer. THAT IS MOST DANGEROUS. The earth, everywhere, is im pregnated with dangerous germs, including the germ of lockjaw, and innumerable other germs that may cause blood poisoning if a slight wound be neglected. The feet and especially the toes, are more easily infected than any other external part of the body. Cramped for generations in shoes, deprived of their natural blood supply, very often the toes lose their power of resistance to germ attack. Constantly you read of blood poisoning that starts in the foot. Wearing shoes without stock ings. neglecting a cut or blister, as children often do. any germs ac cumulated are persistently and con tinuously nibbed into the tissues and into the blood circulation, with no protecting stocking between the foot and the leather. The pluckier the child the more probability of a neglected wound. And boyisn courage, unfortunately, is no protection against germ at tack. “The Spring crop of pigs Is short by 8,000,000 lfi the corn belt’* What becomes of the "conscious ness” of those 8,000,000 little pigs that never saw the light of day ?<| Are they suspended somewhere in eternity, waiting for a chance to kick up their little legs in thd corn belt and eat good corn, pre vious to having their throats cut? Mf they could think at all, wbat would they say of a system that brings them into tne world to eat corn for a littie while and then be eaten by their “superiors,” a sys tem that keeps eight millions of them out of the world when the price of corn happens to go up? What is the exact difference be tween 8,000,000 pigs and the same number of humans? Next in importance to INTEL LIGENCE comes POWER. Every thing we have comes from power intelligently directed. The World Power Conference in London, dis cussing the possibility of harness ing wind, waves, tides, sunlight, natural steam and hot wells and unusuod possibilities of alcohol pro duction, is a most important gath ering. ’w ____ w Prince Conti says the United States of America could get more power from its hot springs in Cali fornia, the Yellowst^he. “Yalley of Ten Thousand Smoke's*'’ in Alaska, etc., than from aj^ gur waterfalls. And think of unused heat, deep under ground. CWv — Sir Charles Bedford says alco hol from waste vegetable matter would provide more power than gasoline, when oil is exhausted. 'Rice straw wasted in India could produce enough alcohol to equal In power the annual production of petroleum. This earth is a driving wheel and it is silly to think that we could ever run short of power, living on a driving wheel. The attempt to climb Mt. Everest is abandoned for this year. But with the patience and perseverance of other insects, men will keep on trying and they will reach th* iiqjijy say tma m*r° the ffo^ch bodies ofMj<ery and Elaine, two of the expedition la^fe as they entered a heavy cl6ud fn a drive for the top. 4 . Rathfer a romantic grave, in the freezing cold of the highest spot on earth. Some day sightseers in flying machines will look at a stone, “covering the dead bodies of the first two men that ever climbed up here,” and children m the sightseeing flier will ask, “Why did they climb up, instead of flying?” Five years ago'George Eastman, of Rochester, allowed 6,000 em ployes of his Eastman Kodak Com pany to subscribe for stock in the company at par. Last week the employes got their stock, worth $21,000,000. They paid just half that price for it originally, making a profit cf 100 per cent. That’s a good wav to encourage go«d work and inter est workers in their jobs. 68 N. A. A. C. P. BRANCHES OVER l THE TOP FOR 1924. Robert W.

P. in var ious parts of the country had exceeded their allotted quotas in the 1924 drive for funds, thus breaking the records of all previous years.

P., has been doing and it shows that color ed people are desirous of supporting and sustaining that work.” OUTSTANDING SCHOLARS ADDED TO HOWARD FACULTY. teaching staff now numbers 175. WASHINGTON, D.

Le pabt two weeks have be« n a busy season for Virginia farmers when ever the weather permitted field work ' as the wheat was ready for harvesi, , hay was ripening; and corn, cotton, to bacco and peanuts needed cultivation. Frequent rains interrupted and delay ed the farm work very much. I The wheat harvest which is usually completed in Junei, has been very late 1 this season and in the northern part o; the State many farmers have just fin ished cutting. There is generaliy a large crop of straw, but the heads are i not as well filled as usual in some sec tions, and the rains have caused some 1 damage to the grain in the shock. The yield per acre will probably be up to the average for the past tep years. Threshing has commenced in the south ern part of the State. The corn crop is very late, so an early frost will cause considerable loss. The rains have pi evented cultivation and most fields are grassy and weedy. Some early croips on well drained lands are looking well, but the crop on river and creek bottoms, where planted is very poor. Conditions are worst in the eastern part of the State and bestJ in the Southwest. There has been too much rain foi the proper development of tobacco plants, growth iis backward and fields generally need working. A favorable season is needed in order to make an average yield. The hay crop is generally ready for harvest, but the wet weather has pre vented much progress with this work. The yield will be unusually good if all Of the crop can he saved. A large acre age of cowpeas, soy beansi. and millet has been sown on land that had been intended for corn, but these crops have not progressed very well owing to the wet feather. Pastures have made spl.en did growth and are unusually fine in all parts of the State. The digging of early potatoes progress ed rapidly during the past 10 days; the shipments were unusually heavy. The total carlot shipment to July 12 was 10,916 ;cars compared with 10,719 cars tQ the same date last year. The ^' yield on the Eastern ShO-Ve nag been | better than expected, while in the Nor folk section the crop turned out poorly except on well drained land. PeflUUt growers have had great filffi1 1 culty in keeping their fields Clear owing to the frequent rains which pve vented cultivation, and which caused rapid growth of grass. The condition of the crop is poor and the outlook is dis 1 couraging. | Fuit prospeots continue to be above the average in most parts of the State. Blackberries are now ripening and the crop is very good. As a result of the ' unusual number of damp and rainy days the quality of apples is not as good as usual. There is an excellent crop of peaches, and early varieties are ripening in the southern part of the State > The condition of livestock is general ly very good. Owing to sappy condition of pastures cattle have not fattened a3 well as teXpected. Lambs shipments have beeh heavy, and prices to the grow •ers are very good. There has been litcie change in the farm labor situation. In the northern and central districts labor *is very scarce, but in the southwest the supply has been more plentiful as the let up in mining and other industries has re leased some labor for the farms.

A BOOK OF NEGRO BIOGRAPHIES "Who's Who in the General Confer I ence of the African (Methodist Church," is a volume containing more than 300 biographies of the leaders of that de nomination issued by Dr. R.

The book is more than : interesting because of the compactness of its form, and because it shows how j many of these distinguished started from the lowest round and reached the | top where they are.
