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.

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.

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.

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
PLACE, Hart Mountain. Time, 6:00
a. m. 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-

the shattered rock floating away In
a little puff on the still air.
Praised Toclferously. he says mod- j

YESTERDAY
So much of grief and pain
My heart does recall,
So many things of yesterday
To make the teardrops fall.
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.

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.
