'T'lIE protoHts of vnrioiis colored ortranizatioim affuinst "Amos
an' Andy" at this late dute are ratlier surprising.
We fail to see wherein thin radio feature reflects upon the
colored race uny more than "Mutt. and Jeff" refleet upon the
white race j or "BrintoiiK Up Father" reflects upon citizens of
Irish extraction, ; , - ,
They are all caricatures, and therefore frank exaggerations,
which should not he taken seriously, hut like the Virginians'
epithet, should always he taken with a smile.
Jn fact we would not he surprised to find that these protests
proceeded from "Amos an' Andy'' themselves or from .their,
astute business nia.iiagcrs. , u "'.''""" ' : " '
XLKSS we, tire greatly mistaken,;. tie "Amos, an' Andy'
craze reached its height a year or, more ago and fcver. since
has been on the' wani. If Medford is a fair example, the " Amos
an' Andy" radio audience today is not more than .fifty percent
as large as it was eight or, ten months ago. ,
All of these comedy stunfs have short lives. They go up in
a burst of glory like sky rockets, ,and like sky rockets they
come down, just a 'burned-out stick SUNK without a trace.
There were the Cherry. Sisters, Sir. Gallagher and Mr.
Sheen, the Two Black Crows, and several others which spread
like wildfire, burst into the lime light and then suddenly sizzled
out into complete oblivion. ' '..
We have an idea that Amos, who always had a level head
on his shoulders, sensed the final denouement, and through
some clever manipulation, got these colored organizations to
broadcast their resolutions, in an effort .to delay i.t.
' ( '? v . " ,"
FOR nothing revives public, interest, more quickly, than tlc
prospect of n fight. Many n dying .cause has been resusi
tated, by front page opposition. Oct the colored people excited
enough, and oppositioij to "Amos fin' Andy " .STUONO enough,
and the rank and file will be adjusting' their dinner hour once
more to the "Amos on' Andy'' hour.
,
DDEI) evidence to support such a diagnosis, is found in the
fact that this racial opposition comes at such a late date.
We don't know precisely when "Amos an' Andy" started, but
ccrtninly several years ago. "The "shiftlcsKness" complained
of is no more marked today than it was then. And in our
opinion, Amos, with his devotion to Ruby "Taylor, and his
shrewd native sense, more than compensated for the alleged
irregularities, sentimental and economic, of the dusky "Show
Off" Andy. . . , , . ..
So in this sudden opposition wc detect a "nigger in the
woodpile," none other than little Amos,' pulling wires, and
arousing the brethren, whilo his thick headed partner dreams
of Madam Queen, and is properly "regusted.' .

THE SITUATION IN GERMANY
TIIK failure of the Prussian' plebiscite, is at least one ray of
sunshino in the Central Kuropean gloom. '?..
It means for tho time being, that tho present government
will not be ovwrthrown and tho Hitlerite plea for a repudiation
of tho war debts and tho regaining of the lost provinces, WILL
NOT bo heeded. : : , .
; , This in turn nVeaiistliat tberftja still a cbanee for . a real
reajqu'oHchiiient between Germany, and fnine : ivhieh is only
another way of saying that Germany" still may bo saved.
AND IN NO OTIIKR WAY CAN 'GERMANY. UK SAVED.
For, contrary to general opinion, tho fundamental trouble in
Central Europe is not economic 'but political. .
FRANCE is today in absolute control. She is the richest
mitimi in Kurnntv ulw iu tlir '.mrtKt. iinwnrpiil lr 'Slin nnubl
destroy Germany if she wished, but also contrary to general
opinion she DOESN'T WISH TO.
What sho does wish and what sbo DEMANDS is this ;
That Germany keep her place, the place dictated by the
treaty of Versailles; that sho abandon all claim to the I'olish
provinces, all efforts to materially jrovise the treaty, all pres
ent negotiations for a union with Austria in other words that
she bo a good dog, keep her place as a conquered country.
Then and then only will France give her aid. Franco docs
not want a ruined Germany, nor a communistic Germany; but
she does want, and she intends to have a NON-RESISTANT
a non-dangerous Germany. '
And if she eiul only secure such a Germany, by ruin, then
ruin it will be. ' ' !
If she ean secure it without ruin, then Germany will be
saved. Hut ontj way or appther, she is going to spenie a mm
resistant Germany, or go down to ruin herself.
i
SO THE only hope for peace and eventual prosperity in Cen
tral Europe at least as we1 see it depends absolutely upon
France anil Germany getting together politically,' agreeing on
SOME I'IjAN which they can work out in comparative peace
and harmony. ' .
The communists, Hitlerites and old militarists, are against
any such program, the present government is for it not as
strongly as Streseman was but still in favor of conciliation
and peace rather than defiance and war.
SO WK repeat, the failure of the Prussian plebiscite, while
it may not prevent the collapse of Germany, will at least
postpone it. Iiike the Hoover moratorium, it is a favorable
factor in the situation, though in no sense a determining one.
Parents
MAKINU rilll.DRKN HAPPY
v
lly Alice J ii ilno n Praia
Merer have parents tried more
earnestly than now to Rive tftelr
children the best of everthlng. Never
before have they Invested so much
thought, so much lore and so much
money In their children's happiness.
We hare good will In abundance
but not always, alas I the wisdom to
make it bear proper fruit.
The moat common mistake la the
belief t'int enough pleasure Is bound
to produce happiness. Children of
ten are showered with toys. adran
tages" of every sort, with all kinds
of Indulgences only to become dis
contented, bored, unhsppy.
Often, too. the concern which their
elders so erldently feel for their hep
plnrss makes children consider pleas
use t.'te single worthwhile objective,
something whlcti they hat a light
to expert to hare provided tor them.
The state of mind which makes tor
happiness is not one primarily occu
pied with the pursuit of pleasure.
It Is rather a condition In which the
Individual Is so 'engrossed In activi
ties which he pursues with sntlsfac
factlon and enthusiasm that his
whole thought aud energy are bent
upon things outside himself. '
He Is so occupied that he does not
think about pleasure and he Is
happy. He- la happy because happi
ness Is alvraya a by-product of suc
cessful, Interesting living.
Making r.Mldren hsppy Is some
thing more than giving them pleas
ure. It' is a matter of helping them
to get satisfaction out of doing the
right sort of hlnga.
It depends, too. upon the training
which enables the child to control
his temper, accept responsibility, snd
meet detest with equanimity to
share, to do things tor himself and
by Mmselt.
The child who cheerfully can make
the most of whst he haa, who has
learned the degree of self discipline
necessary for living In harmony with
others la likely to find happiness
along the wayside, A T '
In running an arbitrary line to
j divide the hyere from the hypos tlw
omer aay, no uouoi we uiiptuvu
quite a few folk
who are just nor
mal or average and
refuse to be so
classified. In order
to relieve those who
are neither hypos
nor hypem, we'll
propose another dl- iHBually
vision or manxina
into types today,
acccrdl ng to the
predominance cf the
symca::ictlc or the
vagus portion of the automatic or
involuntary nervous system . in the
temperament' and makeup.
Pray do not be frightened If you
don't understand what the sympa
thetic or vagus portion of the In
voluntary or autonomic nervous sys
tem Is. Aa we proceed you'll see
it doesn't matter, and I'm not sure
I understand much about It myself,
only I rather like to roll these Im
posing terms off my chest now and
then, being a doctor. Suff;ce to
say that the autonomic nervous
system presides over functions which
are beyond control of the will, &ucn
as the beating of the heart, the
regulation of the breathing, and the
secretory functions of the ductless
glands. , This autonomic nervous
system Is composed of. the sympa
thetic 'portion on the one hand
and the vagus portion on the other,
and the one portion acts to an
tagonize, balance or steady the other.
An Individual In whom the sym
pathetic Influence predominates (cell
him a symp for short, not a "simp")
is usually well nourished, warm
handed, dry skinned, fluffy haired,
blond and has small eyes. A symp
has a clear, but often a pale com
plexion. He or she Is of a "neuras
thenic" disposition and must- be
handled diplomatically lest thoy
grow restive. Symps are hard cus
tomers, hard pupils to control, hard
patients to treat. They are emo
tional, quick tempered, fickle and
changeable. They have a pulse
rate and a body temperature habit
ually e, little higher . than the
normal average.
Practically- all of us have latent
tuberculosis. Only a small minority
of us with latent tuberculosis ever
develop active tuberculosis and most
of these groups are symps. Hap
pily, however, a symp haa a better
chanco to attain arrest ot active
tuberculosis than does a vag.y
icbaiitii;uujf aymytrt oio vancu oyi-
pathlcotonlc" and vags 'vagatonic."
The vag la typically a young adult
who Is undernourished, underweight,
brunette, has large, clear, glistening
eyes with umall pupils, but Is short
sighted . She ( usually ) has cold
hands and -cold feet, sweats when
the, least excited, suffers iWn "hy
peracidity of the stomach, heart
burn, enlarged tonsils, husk mess of
voloe and Uriah Heeo hands. - A vag1
looks like a good subject for tuber
culosis yet seldom has It. Vags go
In . for hay fever, asthma.' croupy
conditions, sore throat, gallstone,
colic and eke mucous colitis. They
complain of sudden flushing, stick
ing of food In the gullet, too much
saljva, nervous swallowing. The com
monly described as "nervous" vagi
are warm hearted, dry-eyed, cool,
calm and collected. The pulse rate
la : usually sixty or less. The body
temperature is usually a d agree be
low normal. ' Vags have a large tol
erance for sugar or candy, and
large craving for sweets.

fair clue I'll break Into print about
it, I assure you.,
, Vitamin A for Sensitive Eyes
Please tell your correspondent who
complained about light hurting her
eyes to make sure of getting plenty
of Vitamin A. I have found that
my trouble ceased after I paid more
attention to taking foods rich in
Vitamin A. Also my hearing, which
was very poor and which otologists
assured me could not be improved,
has 'improved distinctly since I be
gan getting more Vitamin Aj Miss
1VT, E. H.

Vitamin A: Butter fat, egg yolk,
cream or fresh milk, spinach, water

Time to Feed the Bahy.
My baby since birth has been
troubled with constipation. She was
breast fed and Is now 2 years, old.
Orange juice, prune Juice, oatmeal,
graham crackers seem to have no
special effect. I am now giving
her a teaspoonful of fa hlfalutln
nostrum) daily . . . have also given
her much plain mineral oil, but
little castor oil. Mrs. D. V. T.
Answer Still you're oil wrong.
What the baby needs, and Bhould
have received away back when she
was four months old. - Is food. I
believe every infant, breast fed or
hand raised, that tends to be con
stipated, should receive a dally ra
tion of well ripened banana raw.
It Is a sod day when you resort
to nostrums to induce the Imitation
of natural bowel function, especially
when bananas are so cheap and so
healthful for Infants who do not
thrive.
A Long While After.
Is It possible for a weakness of
the voice, especially after eating,
to be caused by pressing of the
stomach against the dlapragm?
8. A. V.
Answer That might explain It in
some bad cases two or three weeks
after eating. ! Singers ana speakers
have better voices if they, eat only
lightly before . performance, and
fill up with a real dinner after the
show. ,
