It w the reader» a» well as our privilege to disagree with the writer who in vitee your opinion upon the subjects discussed from time to time in this column. June is the happy month for brides, graduates and conventions. The brides are happy, the graduates are numerous and tlw conventions are pompous. 1 he tvides are necessary, the graduates use ful and the conventions, at least our conventions, are in the main entirely unproductive and unnecessary a a a For several years now this writer ha> closely followed our conventions. Not in person, but in spirit and thought From various ^ources, copies of the proceedings o i our conventions have reached the writer. They have been recorded and studied. A special tile has been provided to list their resolutions and pledges for future activities. • a a A constant check is nude against this file and as we write there are before us hundreds of cards, representing as many resolutions, etc., made during the last conventions, with most o f them showing a blank or a balance in red on performances that have not been carried out and in a great many instances no apparent effort has been nude toward their accomplishment. • • « On the other hand, we have read weeks in advance outlines o f proposed conventional happenings, some o f which have brought much factional dissension and publicity, but at the actual conven tions these same programs have been steam-rolled through while the loud op ponents are either being entertained at social functions or are resting up from the after-effects. In either event the same accomplishment could have been produced at a strictly executive meeting o f a few hand-picked officers or pro ponents. s e e R H E U M A T IC F E V E R Rheumatic fever, acute rheumatism or acute articular rheumatism is an acute infectious disease characterized by acute ..gonizmg joint pains, malaise, sore throat or tensilities, fever o f an irregular type, acid perspiration, etc. Usually the af feet ion alfects the heart and the heart coverings. The actual cause o f rheumatic fever is not definitely known, despite the great amount o f work that has been dime to ascertain its cause. Several differctu organisms are blamed at present by vari ous workers. Rheumatic fever is responsible for five to ten |<cr cent o f all illness. It affects males as much as females. However it is more common in young adults than in older individuals. The condition usu ally affects children o f school age It affects more readily individuals in m od erate climates and in cold, damp weather. It more readily attacks individuals whose occupation leave them more or less e x posed to the elements. Heredity seems to play an interesting part in that there are rheumatic families —that is, several members suffer from rheumatism. Rheumatic fever is not in herited but prohably a predisposing weakness to rheumatic fever is. Rheumatic fever is common in one race as much as another. The only- altering factor here is one o f economics. Races as the Negro where their greatest occupations are o f the hazardous and more exposed type, may tend to show a greater occurence o f the affection. Certain points or foci o f infection as the tonsils, the teeth, the appendix, the «astro intestinal tract, the prostrate in men and the utertis and ovaries in w o men, play a very important role iii the course o f rheumatic fever and its com plications. Removal or treatment o f the foci of infection when found to be a f fected is necessary if a happy recovery is to lie expected. Among the many conventions o f the month are those of four o f our national organizations that this writer is glad to mention because they are achieving some thing and if by focusing the spotlight o f the nation on their annual meetings they can gain prestige and active inter est in their work they are entitled and worthy o f such. The National Urban League's convention will be held in St Paul, Minn. The National Association for the Advancement o f Colored Peo ple will meet in Pittsburgh, Pa. The National Negro Business League in New V ork, and the Independent National Funeral Directors Association will meet in Chicago, Illinois. In their respective fields each o f these organizations are necessary and powerful. 4 Bradford Clothes $ 2 5 . 0 0 to Shop $ 45.00 City by Nancy Lee A new departm ent ia being o ffe re d to the reader* o f the A dvocate.

This is the day when old ideas and ideals are breaking dow n; when mans opinions and doctrines that have been handed down for generations are being "scrapped" as it were. It isn't that people are turning anti re ligious, but it is a time o f change. Young people have the pioneer spirit, they want to forge ahead, ami set new standards in every line of endeavor, so religion comes under this same rule They want to know what life is all about, amt they will find that it is— to work, to think, and to love; to serve with conscious knowledge, ami to love God and their fellowman.
