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

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.

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.
