Old Promise Not Kept
For years, the Negroes of Ja-
nmca, British-owned island of the
West Indies, have anticipated Au
gust 1, 1938, as the day on which
the big plantations of the island
were' to be divided into smalt un
its, and presented to descendants
of slaves whose freedom was
granted on August 1, 1938, by
Queert Victoria. Copies of a pur
ported proclamation by the Queen
ordering such' a division 100 years
following the date of emancipa
tion, have been in existence for
many years. When August 1 ar
rived, nothing happened, because
British militia units had beeu mo
bilized to forestall trouble by the
1,000,000 Jamaica Negroes suppos
edly entitled to this division of
land. For years, the government
had made announcement that
Queen Victoria had ordered no
such division, but the Jamaicans
steadfastly believed the British
government in London would or
der it carried out. Some had even
bought equipment for their small
farms and barbed wire fencing to
enclose them.
Eat More Candy
More than 1,500 candy-makers
meeting In their annual convention
in Chicago were told that the
American public ate an average of
16 pounds of candy last year, by
far tho larger 'part of it in the
form of chocolate bars containing
nuts. Tho candy-makers' organiza
tion has set as its objective for
1939 an average of 20 pounds of
ciindy per person.
Itubbit fur is sold under S(i trade
names, such as Baltic Lion, Amer
ican SphI, Baltic Black Fox. Black
Lynx, Belgian Beaver, French Sa
blo, Gulland Squirrel, Australian
Cony, and Erminotte.
I The American public is swin
dled out of more than a billion
dollars evory year by mail fraud
