Editorial Correspondence NEW YORK CITY, N. Y., June 26. If you ride on the 6th avenue h from 42nd street to the Yankee stadium, you pass through a narrow, shallow canyon the sides of which are more or less dilapidated tenements. Between five and six p. m. of a warm June afternoon, you will find every window open and framing from one to two or three human faces, and each face is BLACK. Not one white face mile after mile. It is darkest Harlem, and there whether you like it or not, is the rising tide of color. This particular afternoon, there was perhaps a greater dis play than usual, for it was the day of the Louis-Carnera fight, a red letter day in the annals or Jrianem. ine mam uoui was not scheduled until ten p. m. but the preliminaries were to start at 8:00, and the pilgrimage to the stadium had already started. Not since the days of champion Jack Johnson, had the black sporting world been so on the qui vive it was more than' a sporting event, it was a racial celebration. . . . After passing through such an African jungle, however, and then arriving at the Stadium to find the advance guard com posed of at least 50 per cent colored, the $2 bleacher seats nnened at five r. m. the bic took on a rather unpleasant if not actually sinister aspect. We believe our prejudices against color are less extreme than the average, and yet, the idea of seeing a black man pummel a white one, and like as not be wedged in between ft couple of dusky bucks throughout the performance, for good measure, necame extremely distasteful. Our fastidious friends who regard boxing as inherently brutal and degrading, under any circumstances, will no doubt smile at such scruples, drawing the color line in a sport that should be abhorrent to all ladies and gentlemen and the ultimate purpose of which is manslaughter. However, we have never accepted that view crly conducted, it is an interesting and stimulating spectacle, and in the higher brackets, with much, at stake, and before thousands of people, it is a real if a somewhat primitive form of drama. Nevertheless, we regard this emergence of one Joe Louis as the principal contender for the heavyweight championship of the world as unfortunate for the sport, and may lead, par ticularly here in New York, to to contemplate what might have happened last night in the Yankee stadium, if this grotesque man mountain Camera, had put over a lucky punch and sent the dusky gladiator from Detroit sprawling for the fatal in fear of such an outcome that the largest force of policemen ever to attend a sporting event in this country blue coats mounted and unmounted were all over the place, inside and outside of the arena. In that crowd of 60,000 people the papers this morning estimate there were 15 to L'O thousand colored. Our larger. Their worship of Louis amounts to a frenzy. They came there bringing their best clothes, their best girls, their race pride and their race consciousness, it was to be a colored Roman holiday. Fortunately they were perfectly safe in their expectations. Had the unexpected happened as was the case in the Baer-Braddock embroglio, well, the population of Greater Manhattan might have been much less than it is this morning. ..... Having witnessed the slaughter of Italy's circus freak a year ago at the hands of Play Boy Baer, Primo hitting the canvas eleven times in as many minutes, this second exhibition of pugilism's largest human punching bag in captivity, was far from exciting. Primo started with more animation than on the former occasion, coining out of his corner at the beginning of each round rather like a pachyderm that had just learned to walk on its hind legs, and whirling his huge padded paws like a sideshow kangaroo, but any evidence of activity in that por tion of his anatomy which rises above his shoulders, was as lacking last night as it was in 1034. When he failed to tumble over the first round, and even maintained his balance for four more, one had the feeling that perhaps the New York sport writers were right and this was a new Camera, but when the sixth round started it was plain, that the difference was not in Trimo but in the man he wes fighting. This colored boy, Louis, is no play boy. He is no Max Baer nor is he a second Jack Johnson. The dramatic instinct has been left out of him, entirely. lie is simply a fiuhter, a powerful and a calculating one, whose one idea when he gets into a ring, is to knock over the man opposite him, in the shortest time pos sible, and with the least possible danger to himself. He is or appears to be as cool as an iceberg and as unemotional as a cigar store Indian. No wise cracks for the press row, or flour ishes for the gallery.' Joe is all business, and that is what he attends to when it is over he calls it a day, and lets his press agent do the talking for him. So now ho is matched with Max Baer for a bout in the fall, and of course this will be a "natural." Boxing, like all other professional sports, has been commercialized, the promot ers being in the business solely for the money they can make out of it. Recent events in New York fisticuff circles, may well have been merely a "build up" for this next performance, which may return prize fighting to the days of million dollar gates again. The coming event will be a nice study in contrasts, white against black, the play boy against the killer, the show off against the plodder, both hoys packing dynamite in cither hand, and that deep, elemental thing known as race prejudice, a vital factor in the drama. Beware of the man who never smiles. Joe Louis never smiles. Max smiles a large share of the time. We have an idea that when they meet, Mux will find very little to laugh about. Cer tainly very little if he loses, and wjth 13 or 20 thousand black boys between him and the dressing room, little more if he wins. R. W. R. INDUSTRY PLANS COURT FIGHT ON PROCESSING TAX CHICAGO.

Beverly mils, CaL NUTRITION In medical literature vitamin a Is commonly referred to as entlderma tltlc, that Is, it prevents akin troubles due to faulty nu trition. It b s a e q u 1 r e d this name mainly be cause It Is essen tial to prevent pellagra, and In pellagra (this term literally means rough skin) the skin assumes the ap pearance and condition of an old sunburn or chronic ' c z e- ma. But other vitamins, notably C and D, have been employed in the treat ment of such common conditions as acne, end often with apparent bene fit. One thing dumb or gullible folk should get out of mind at once Is the notion that you can rub in or by any means administer vitamins directly through the skin. Yes, yes, I wasn't born yesterday and I've heard about the quaint old custom of anointing the feeble baby with cod liver oil, but I'm telling you let ua not con fuse ourselves about this. Dr. Helen Mack ay aald (Archives of Diseases of Childhood, 2.65, '34) that the first sign of A -deficiency in chil dren Is undue susceptibility to skin Infections such as bolls. Impetigo, pimples, which are slow In healing Later the skin becomes too dry and gives off a fine scurr. The hair loses its luster. In the British Medical Journal. 3,113, '34. G. P. Goodwin described the case of a boy 10 years old with A-deflclency. The skin of the legs and feet particularly was dry, and there was a popular eruption mainly over the legs, with six weeks of ''od liver oil treatment (internally) this cleared up. A similar skin condition, which proved to be due to vitamin A deficiency, was observed In a number of prisoners by Lowenthal, In Africa. The main feature Lowenthal noted were dryness. Itching, papular erup tion, and In some cases inflammation of hair follicles or roots. The erup tion resembled ordinary acne but the pepulea or pimples did not pustulate. By giving the prisoners one ounce of cod liver oily daily Lowenthal suc ceeded in clearing up the skin condi tion, as well as the xeropthalmla and night-blindness which many of the prisoners had. Total deprivation of vitamins is NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK. June 29. New York. the highly vaunted gayest city, can become all of a sudden most forlorn. I speak In partic ular of any sum mer Saturday af ternoon around 4 o'clock. Along what Is a rather busy street below I see two droop- 1 n g charioteers on seata of their taxis. A doorman fans himself with his hat on the curb across the way. Alt about activity seems arained out. This apartment Is in the grip of the same 1: i tla everybody Is away. Even the dogs. There Is a gaunt and hollow tick about the 100-year-old clock In the rear hall. The slow drip of a pantry faucet accentuates the dolor. I am wonder ing If there Is ever a time In this mystery of progression we call living when man Is entirely alone and friendless? Philosophers hint that there will be such r, period. One Henry James as I recall pre dlcta a "flailing about in the fathom less void." But what do philosophers know? What do scientists know? They say now that science is the art of learning something, soon unlearn od. No comfort there for animals tor tured by vivlsectionlsts. The loneliest and most deserted I ever felt was after stepping from a dinky train at San Luis Potost In old Mexico to scamper across the sun blazed square for a refreshing drink. The drowse of the siesta waa on. The canttna was closed and I got back to the station as the train waa rounding a bend. There wasn't a soul any where. I knocked on the door of a shuttered house, a door the poisonous green of wall paper. An Incredibly old virago, came, mumbled and pointed to the sign at the door side. There was smallpox Inside. No train until mid night. It was my first and, I hope, last, visit to hell. That quality called eerie and where Is a more descrlptve word? seem to settle and choke like stray pollen abovtt a deserted apartment. There's an Inclination to throw open the windows, turn on the radio, lights, anything with a current of activity. 1 have tn succession phoned lee Otwell.

The tremolo of oruana sua seats gloomy cathedrals, sinners In piteous supplication, decay. I even walk out on the Crawfords. Threading a trace of gloom this way violates the columnar credo: Be merry and brlsht. But many of us like to wallow In the morasses now snd then. The British call It "going wonky." Meredith Nicholson once wrote a marvelous essav on "The .tor of Melancholia The Gloomy Ouses of the uorld st l he hreaks and back pats. The Tolanas dredge 1 OF THE SKIN rare In this t-ountry, and the more dramatic deficiency diseases are ac cordingly leas likely to occur. But partial lack of one or more vitamins is far more frequent than we have suspected, and It begins to be appar ent now that a great many mild dis turbances or nutrition and health, for which some persons hardly think It worth while to consult a physician at all, drift along unrecognized or wrongly diagnosed and hence Im properly treated. Unfortunately, we have no accurate or precise testa by which we can de termine whether a given person Is suffering from deficiency of this or that vitamin, altho we have rough tests for A-deflclency and for C-de-flclency. Until such definite teats are available we must rely on the cllnlc sl teat that Is. If there Is reason to suspect a deficiency of one or more vitamins, give the patient an optional ration of the vitamins In question and see whether that helps. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Diathermy of Tonsils When I had had two diathermy treatments I met an old doctor friend who told me scar tissue will form, that the diseased part Is not removed, that the electric needle cannot get around the "pillar", and the only way la to have them taken out by the "old Spanish method." (S. C. R.) A nawer They're your tonsils, I'd prefer the diathermy method for mine. Trouble with the old Spanish method is that if a pillar or anything get in the way, sntgger-snack. the guillotine or the snare takes care of It.

This writer, sleeping th sound sleep thst comes to those with good consciences, awakened by rudely prodding foot. Mumbles somnolently: "What's up here In the middle of the night? Indians Jumped the reserva tion? "Indians, hell 1" li the rude answer. "Breakfast's about over, and If you don't roll out of those blankets you'll go hungry.' FIFTEEN minutes later. That rumor about breakfast being sll gone was a canard snd a base slander on the cooks. True, most of the breakfastera have finished, but humble Inquiry at the cook fire brings forth a plate loaded with two large slices of ham, three eggs, three slices of French toast, a heap of fried potatoes, a tin cup of coffee and about a pint of stewed prunes smoth ered in real cream. Go hungry l Not when this Lakevlew crowd Is running the comm'.ssary. BREAKFAST over, starters grind, engines roar and cars line up for Jaunt to the antelope country. Camp located high up on mountain, and antelope prefer lower flats. Ford two creeks, open somewhat less than a million gates, dodge high centers In desert road and wonder whether antelope will perform for benefit of those who haven't beD here before. You know how It usually Is when you've bragged about something and then have to prove It. EXCITED voice exclaims: "Boy. look at that, will you!" Half a dozen antelope, graceful be yond description, bounding away off to one side. They reach the skyline and race along tt, far too curious to pass over and so lose sight of us. A little farther on, another band Jumps on the other aide. For two hours, an telope In sight nearly all the time. Yes: they're performing. IN this Hart Mountain reserve of around 400,000 acres, there are some 8.000 to 10,000 antelope, said to be the largest band left In America. Archie McGowan, of Burns, says the antelope are beginning to spread from this reserve all over the high desert country, many bands showing up far to the north of Burns. This Is confirmed by Warner Snyder, of Pais ley. At this season, when water la plen tiful, they're widely scattered thru the sagebrush. Later in the year, August and early September, they congregate in bands around the cry lake beds. Responsible persons report seeing 2.000 to 3,000 In a band. What a sight for corn-fed tourists from the Middle West. Some day this antelope refuge will be one of the outstanding tourist attractions of the Pacific coast. YOU'VE seen these African movies, with the game herds and the flat topped mlmoa trees In the back ground. If you want a thrill, but can't af ford to go to Africa, come over here to the Hart mountain country. Ma hogany trees on the skyline simulate the mimosas with startling accuracy, and the bounding antelope in the foreground provide the game herds. And It all costs a lot lees than an African trip. THE cars pause in a flat lake-bed. Its floor bright with yellow flowers and lush with grass. In the back ground the grey desert hills, clothed with sage. The members of the party, chattering hitherto like a convention of magpies, fall silent and gaze In stead of talk. The desert's magic haa gripped them. BANG I Bang I This guy Leyva Is at It again. He start a tin can rolling, and keeps It rolling with pistol bullets planted Judiciously at its lower "edge. He tosses a rock about half the ilze of a golf ball Into the sir and shot- ters It with a bullet, the dust from ; the shattered rock floating away In a little puff on the still air. Praised Toclferously. he says mod- j estly: "Hell, three years ago I couldn't hit a wash tub. It's Jut a matter of practice." j If all these ata.te troopers practise to as good purpose as Hugo has, 1 they'd be a bad bunch to monkey with.

Lingering last glances cast at the bulk of Hart mountain, at I he riotous glory of the sagebrush shot with the lupin's purple snd at the dim mountains on the horizon.

Tls here a face, there a voice: Each lingering haunts me still. Their fond caresses, loving words. My longing memory fills. No glad tomorrow brings them home; At evening their footsesps wait. I linger by the open door, Or hold ajar the gate. Each passed the portal yesterday. Bidding me fond adieu; One held me close in fond embrace. And told me he loved me true. I know tomorrow's sun will rise again, I know the dreary day will wane, But they have gone with yesterday, To ne'er return again. Mary O. Carey. SIMON McKFjE By Fred M. Law, Ruch, Ore. Come all my friends and go with me. Let me tell of Uncle Si McKee, Who lived for 40 year alone And owned an empire all his own. Of 1000 square miles In a mineral belt, Scarce by the prospector'a pan was felt, Where chrome, copper and fe'.urium and quick Are mingled with platinum and gold in the creek. With only hia horse, his dog and his gun. He lived until hta time had come. When he must He down and take hi rest And be buried In the hills that he loved best. If the cougar screamed he didn't care. Nor the angry snarl of the grizzly bear. With his rifle in hand on the moun tain high. Stood king of them all 'twas Uncle SI. And those mountain flowers of a dainty hue Were sipped by the beea for their honey dew, And back to the bee tree they would fly And store up sweets for Uncle Si. And the mountain streams so full of fish I For Uncle Si made a dainty dish. Yet venison, honey and mountain tea j Waa the favorite meal for Si McKee. He would burn the small brush off ; every year So he could keep his timber clear And rid the hills of snake and slugs And pesky files and timber bugs. On Diamond creek, where the road wind around You may see the tracks of a doe and fond. She may pause at his grave In pass ing by And wonder what became of SI. He waa the best friend that she had. He protected her fonds Just like a dad. If the cougar or lynx would sneak around. At the crack of hi rifle they would die on the ground. Up on his grave you will see a cross. Near by you will see the bones of his hoss. His old CAbin stands by an apple tree Which blooms each spring for Si McKee. Where his rifle went we did not hear. Which I would like to get for a sou venir Of this old pioneer aged 83, Who deserves a page In history. Since Uncle St is dead and gone And Old Man Time he travels on, May his soul rest In peace through eternity. Few men lived the life of SI McKee.
