were thoroughly aavare of their actions.
" They are Negroes who are tax navels in the city of

The following incident is neither fable nor fi.c

.- ;ally hu.-y day in his pardon two years'ago, he
found that thy next .morning he was suffering incn-e,y'
from ivy poisoning-.. His arm was swollen
ami painful a ltd he thought advisable to call in a
k phy>ie'an. After several weeks had passed the poison
w'a< none the less abated and ''specialists" were
; 1 a. led iii and serious treatment was prescribed. To
this the poisoning did not respond, but grew gradually
wor.-e until a board of specialists decided that
: mpuia'tiun of the arm was the only safe proceed::v.
The afflicted man Was a cook and knew full

Vr a< a cook was at an end. lie accordingly he
i'.a.itd b. f. re the. Umputatiion suggestion. One

' I.s. truin' home and grieved at the prospects of
.M-in.:, shortly his good right arm. He met an old
ellum Xegro who inquired of his health and
t.-pen b? ing told that a case of ivv-poisoninp was
-ul'i ieientby stubborn to necessitate an amputation,
foe old colored man remarked ".Just try a littlfc "cop.,:l

Like the proverbial drowning man grasping the

make a. suggestion a 1'tern-specialists had said the
"last wortP"; the ordinary man would have called
the old Xegro a fool rushing where angels hitherto

was called foolish to ever try a 'tool's advise.. But
iic tos.lv a chance and lived! This article in no way
*di-pat ages the - knowlrdgc <>f men who 4ra ve s t udiecT

successes far outnumber - the failures.
Vet it is well for mortals to re member that science
and those who apply its principles have limits and
i?aib.ns. Nobody is prepaared to say the last
woid about anything; and the wise man more than
/ -Perhaps the economice debacle in which the world
fines'' itself could be relieved, not so much of the
ciio'.arly preachments of academicians .steeped in

have "ignored . it,s. possibilities. The problems of

Jleraclitus were, too transcendent and too ab-struse
d or c-drl'y the sons of men, .lesus came
jo aching the go-pel of the golden rule-"a copperas

oday, it iv -well to listen to the economic and so
cuu pbiUi.supjiLr.s -iuiu cnc scientist* of htghdegree;
mr t^ul. ^ ^ 111 IVr-the nvr-mg^-mtttt to ronK'mliLfiiL:
that a "copperas and cream" treatment of our problems
b ^1111 very effective. Holding the job ancL?pending
the Uouble-Duty-Dollar is nothing but a
"copperas- and cream" treatment of the Negro's
economic* ills. 'Hut to <late no better " treatment
"has beep divised. To retrench in our living .standaid's
to comport with our (l^momic opportunity while ,
trying to enlarge our opportunity is a "'copperas
and cream" treatment for a very highly aggravated
malady. Several Negroes were employed with a
great concern in a certain city. Several whites
"*vrrr dismisrrdv -and many Negroes retained by rean
of the Negroes' long and satisfactory service,
' in- Negro was habitually late in getting^on the
job of mornings. Some "of the other Negroes implored
him from time to time to watch his step
lest he he cut off in this crisis. He always replied
that he "could not make it so early." About a
month ago the head boss," called him in and had a
talk hun. That Negro is ahead of time these
days! He is the first man to arrive and the last to
leave! Nebody knows just what the boss man told
him but it whs certainly a plenty! It was "copperas
and cream" treatment for a man of dangerous
ie i^Almetto leader
P habits. It got results! Not science nor great
learning; just "copperas and cream" talk. Would
God that evdry Negro in the world could be told
."that thing" which that boss "told that Negro that
morning! What this wound need,, is just a little
more "copperas and cream' of common senee!

" Diction .
W"L
The words diction and voice dovetail. We cannot
have one without the other. There are several
things to be considered under the title' of "Diction.
So many things that we will not be able to mention
them all here in detail. The most impprtaiVf
is pronunciation. Before we become too engrossed
with pronunciation let us listen to what Sarah Bernhardt
had to say about voice. "The vioce is the most
important of the actor's possessions. By means
of voice the actor's attention of the public is revet-edj-it
'is the voice which -binds "together actor and
auditor. An actor's voice must run the -whole gamut
of harmonies-grave, plaintive, vibrating, metallic.
"People used to call Bernhardt's own voice
one of the greatest "liquid music.''
Now let us concern oursejves with pronunciation
and observe some very fino suggestions given - by
that great dramatic critic, John Dolman.
P.?Suppress any marked individual peculiarity
..?i J
>ul-..uiuiiuin.?uiuii| uiiii-bs iiccuCTi lor cnaracier uenjieation.
f 2. Suppress or modify any ugl y or "unpleasant
pronunciation' not unmistakably the preform! one,
or only one, m common usuage. Hut bo sure the
ugliness is real and not merely a matter of personal
distaste. #
primarily on slovenliness.
4. Don't say "boid" fpr "bird." Don't say "Amurican"
for "American." , v"
5. Don't break single vowels jnto diphthongs as
"proo-un" for "prune." Thg opposite tendency must
also be discouraged that is the shortening of diphthongs
into single vowels, as in "ahr" for "our."
6. Encourage a moderate rnidduv Mo 9
6. Encourage any pronunciation which, though
not universally employed, is universally admired.
7. Encourage a moderate middle sound of "a"
in words like "laugh," "class," "after" or "dance."
That will be a sound between the short/"a" ami, the
TtJfian "a." ' ? =
Encofir.tge a gcrieral cleaning up qf nnac- .
oented syllables. - - --
9. Modify your trilled r's. Don't make the sound >
affected and unconvincing.0
These few suggestions along with others we might
rollprt will help us to run the -whole gamut of h'ar
monies. There are mfany of us wno woulil nm iniiiil :
if ouT voices were "liquid music."
Do you-wer hum? Do you' like . to hum? If
you will hum for at least five minutes every day
from now until June you will note u marvellous im
provoment in vour voice. _1
POINTED POINTS
BY GEORGE A. SINGLETON
???>? m mm t. i ? i i
The weekly text: And as he went up, their eyes
were tixt on heaven. Acts 1:1.
The weekly thot:
1 have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When spring cpm'es back with rustling shade And
apple blossoms fill the air?
I have a rendezvous with Death
When spring brings-back blue days and fair,
1 shall not?fail that rendezvous. ,
Secger did not fail his tryst when it came. Now
that Easter is over Tor this year and is a fact pT
4usToryr JvhaV -does it mean but- that all -must-kvH*-their
rendezvous? To puffer .pain and die. like 1
JesU."-. That1 is back- of Easter..
. 11 ;'v the Resurrection remains^- JVIost people be- 1
come sentimental anct-salve their consciences' with
the thot of what is reported to have happened nine
teen hundred years ago in Jerusalem. What the social
order needs today is for men and women in the
spirit of the Christ to rise above animal, passions,
hatred oT groups, Intra-group?jealousy, stlf-cci;- teredness
to BROTHERHOOD, Here is the test

moral error when he padded the payroll. This, if.

Would suggest to Oscar DePriest that he include 3
in the beneficiaries of his Slave Hill some of theslaves
who are living to-day. Slaves to outworn |
notions and opinions. Folks who think they ara -f
wise but are not. Intellectual slaves ,who go thru ~
the schools and receive degrees. '
Slavery is the supreme curse of God. He who s
thinks he knows, and knows not that he knows
