Destitute Barn
Is Responsible
For ‘New Paint’
A cow barn at the Georgia Ex
periment Station that went unpain
ted for several years has led to the
development of anew kind of du
rable whitewash.
When the barn was built the
board of regents didn’t have enough
funds to paint it. Asa result the
staff was confronted with the alter
native of letting the bam go unpain
ted or compounding a durable
whitewash. They developed the
whitewash.
For the benefit of Georgia farm
ers who don’t have enough money
to buy paint for their barns, here
are the ingredients: Fifty pounds
of hydrated lime, 10 gallons of wat
er, 10 pounds of salt, two pounds of
alum and one bar of soap.
First, say the experimenters, chip
the soap finely and dissolve it in
about two gallons of hot water. This
is then increased to 10 gallons with
cold water, and the lime, salt and
alum are added one by one and the
solution is stirred until all disssolve.
It is then set aside for at least 24
hours before it is used.
Census Taker Meets a
Squirrel Gun
Pittsburgh, April s.—Trudging up
a steep hillside to an almost inac
cessibla shanty, a young census
enumerator stepped to an open door
and found himself peering into the
business end of an old-fashioned
squirrel rifle.
“Git!” bellowed an aged recluse,
holding the gun.
“And I got,” reported the enum
erator.
The eccentric resident flatly re
fused to talk “with any guvment
man,” but a neighborhood priest fin
ally prevailed upon him behind
closed doors to supply the needed
information.
Washington Stamp
Is First For Negro
Tuskegee, Ala.—The first United
States postage stamp ever to bear
the face of a Negro was sold Sun
day by Postmaster General James
A. Farley, to honor the late Booker
T. Washington, who “lifted the veil
of ignorance from his people.”
Born .in the slave era, Washing
ton became the nation’s leading Ne
gro educator, after emancipation.
He founded Tuskegee Institute (for
Negroes) 59 years ago.
Farley was the principal figure in
the stamp issuance exercises, which
included placing a wreath on Wash
ington’s grave and a visit to the
statue of the educator on the in
stitute campus.
The Booker Washington memorial
stamp, of 10-cent denomination, was
sold for the first time in the nation
at the institute post office, which has
an all-Negro staff.
Revival of Religion
Greatest Need of Youth,
Roosevelt Says
Washington, N. J.—President
Roosevelt, answering a church poll,
reiterated Thursday a belief that
“no greater thing could come to
our land today than a revival of
the spirit of religion.”
His answer to a question, “What,
in your opinion, is the most funda
mental need in the lives of the
young people of America today?”
was made public by the Rev. Den
ton M. Gerow, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church of this rural
community, who solicited the views
of the President and others in con
nection with the church’s two hun
dredth anniversary ceebration.
President Roosevelt termed the
question “bobh stimulating and pro
vocative” and recalled his brother
hood day broadcast of four years
ago, when he said:
“No greater thing could come to
our land today than a revival of the
spirit of religion—a revival that
would sweep through the homes of
the nation and stir the hearts of
men and women of all faiths to a
reassertion of bheir belief in God
and their dedication to his will for
themselves and for their world. I
doubt if there i§ any problem—so
cial, political] or economic—that
would not melt away before the
fire of such a spiritual awakening.”
After recalling this statement the
President commented:
“Those were my views more than
four years ago. They constituted
a deeply settled conviction on my
part.
“May God speed the day when
that conviction shall possess the
hearts and the minds of all our peo
ple.”
6,000,000 Persons Are 111
Every Day of Winter
In U. S.
Washington.—Approximately six
million persons are too sick to work,
go to school or attend household du
ties every winter day in the United
States.
Such is the finding of the United
States Public Health Service from
a sample survey of 2,500,391 per
sons, constituting almost 4 per cent
of the urban population of the na
tion.
The illnesses ranged from bad
colds to permanently disabling chron
ic diseases. Altogether, it was found,
nearly 18 per cent of the persons
included in the survey—a total for
the whole country of more than 23,-
900,000 —had some sort of sickness
or disability each day. In most ca
ses they were able to keep up their
customary activities. In the sample
population were included groups
from all parts of the United Sta
tes.
The average person, it was found,
loses 10 days a year from work or
school because of sickness. Of the
total 1 per cent were found to be
unemployed in any way because of
permanent illness or mutilation.
The respiratory diseases —-colds,
pneumonia, and influenza—were
the chief maladies which kept per
sons from work for a week or more.
Second in rank were the common
communicable diseases of childhood.
There was a striking age graduation.
Out of each 1,000 children under 15
years of age, 214 were found to
have had during the year sicknesses
which kept them from school an
average of about six days. From 15
to 24 were the healthiest years of
life with only 131 persons per thou
sand sick enough to keep them con
fined for an average of five days.
From the 25th to the 64th year
the frequency of illnesses increased
only slightly to 153 cases per thou
sand, but the average length of dis
ability increased to 10 days. After
65 the rate took a big jump to 179
per thousand and the average dur
ation to 36 days. This included
elderly persons who were disabled all
the time.
Even more strikingly than in pre
vious surveys, this one shows that
the burden of illness falls far heav
ier on the poor than on any other
class in society. The average fre
quency of illness, disabling for a
week or more, was much higher in
the relief and low-income groups
than among those with incomes
above $1,500. In terms of volume
of disability the contrast was even
greater. The excess over the high
est income group—those receiving
$5,000 or more a year—was 132 per
cent.
THE NEW LEAF
He came to my desk with quivering
lip—
The lesson was done.
“Dear Teacher, I want anew leaf,”
he said,
“I have spoiled this one.”
I took the old leaf, stained and blot
ted,
And gave him anew one all un
spotted,
And into his sad eyes smiled,
“Do better, now, my child.”
I went to the throne with a quiver
ing soul—
The old year was done.
“Dear Father, hast Thou anew leaf
for me?
I have spoiled this one.”
He took the old leaf, stained and
blotted,
And gave me anew one all un
spotted,
And into my said heart smiled,
“Do better, now, my child.”
Turn idle time into dollars—Ad
vertise.
