"That is the danger of reprisals and it is easy to predict that, if European states act without precautions, they will destroy as well as defend." Minister of Commerce Pierre Etienne Flandin, In an interview he granted a Berlin newspaper today, urged that Europe reach an economic agreement to permit combatting of American protectionist duties. CAUSTIO PRESS COMMENTS.

The tendency is to force the Negro downward, giving rise to serious social problems and to a consequent demand for trained college women in the profession of social work. The need has been met by young women anxious to devote their lives to work among their unfortunate sisters. The Negro college woman in also serving as bation officer, investigating and police-woman.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5. Interim rates for natural gas in the cities of Sacramento, Stockton, Lodi, Woodland and Rooseville and adjacent territory, as well as the counties of Marin, Sonoma, Napa and Solano, were fixed by the state railroad commission. The new rates, which are to become effective as soon as the affected communities can be "cut in" on the new service, will result in a slight additional charge to very small consumers, engineers said, but will give reductions ranging from 10 to 60 per cent to most users. They will result in a net reduction of 2 per cent in the earnings of the Pacific Gas Electric company in the areas affected, it was estimated. The commission denied the company's request to establish a service charge of 75 cents in Incorporated areas, and $1.05 per month in unincorporated territory, and as an alternative set up initial rates of 85 cents per month to city consumers for the first 200 cubie feet of gas used, and $1.15 to consumers of the same class in unincorporated territory.

This order, It was announced, will result in increases from 6 to 8 cents per month on the bills of users of very small amounts of fuel. The interim rates will remain offective until the major gas rate proceedings, affecting consumers throughout the Pacific Gas Electrio company's system, are concluded. These proceedings have been in progress for some months.

"As he has been 88 a son to me, the will continues. "I leave him $7500 conditionally on his not marrying a woman of European birth, who I consider would only make him a bad wife and render him unhappy; my wishes being that he should marry a girl of Mohammedan birth. Whether she becomes a Christain will not matter." GERMAN WAR FILM GHASTLY So ghastly that 1t caused scores in the audience to leave the theater, Western Front, 1918," has just had its premier in Berlin. Producer G. W.

Pabst is siad to have left nothing to the imagination. It depicts men blown to pieces and shot down like flies, with close-ups of hand-to-hand fighting. including a scene where a German soldier is strangled by a Frenchman In a quagmire. German officer goes mad, and his screams so affected some of the audience that they hurridly left the place. The most gruesome scene is in a dressing station, where the groans and screams of the dying and wounded are unnerving.

"The educational welfare of the coming generation has become the chief concern of the national sororities of Negro college women. A fine practice followed by them is to give the girls a chance to hear the life stories of Negro women successful in various fields of endeavor. Real talent overcomes the color line, and the progressive and privileged group of Negro women are expressing their community and rare consciousness; they are, in the face of difficulties, standing erect and developing within themselves the moral strength to rise above and conquer false attitudes. They are maintaining their natural charm and improving their minds and opportunities measuring up to the needs of their families, communities and race, and radiating hope throughout the land. "And, friends, we must realize that these young college women are our hope, inspiration and our fullment of desire.

We must help them to live up to the highest ideals. Of course, if we fail them, they will struggle on, but if they fail us we are lost. What do we owe them? Support, understanding, comradeship, trust and COMMERCIAL ART Commercial art vocation was the subject of paper of Theodora -L. Purnell of Berkeley, who said in part: "An art student until very recent years has not been given an equal scholastic rating with other college women graduates. Those of us who have specialized in art were indeed happy when at last the fraternal bodies recognized that to be a graduate art student meant a student graduate in most of the requirements of any college curriculum.

What does an art student have to know? She has to be familiar with the literature of all ages; she has to know history, ancient and modern; she has to be a biologist, a physiologist, a chemist, a physicist, a botanist and an analogist, and particularly a mathematician, a harmonist, and above all humanist. When entering the field of art as lite work, you may rest assured that there is no race prejudice to. face, a good design for any of the thousands of things that are in use every minute of every day is rewarded for its face value, and not for the color of the face of the a artist." There were many fine papers read before the conference, either by those selected or by an official representative. Among this number were Dr. Vada Somerville and Dr.

Alice Garrott, women dentists of Los Angeles.

She has often heard and seen planes fly over her home, wondering what the sensation would be to fly in one. Today she no longer wonders about the experience of an airplane flight.

For she knows. She was taken to Oakland airport yesterday in an ambulance where she deserted her wheel chair for an airplane. With Captain William H. Fillmore, Oakland pilot, Miss Haynes went aloft for a flight over the bay cities. She came back the happiest person on earth.

"It was wonder- ful. Just to imagine darting about the sky in a tiny plane is a glorious thought but to actually do 50 beyond expression." Back to the wheel chair she was lifted by Ira C. Gwin, the friend who made the flight possible. And back to "her world," she went. But she seemed a changed person, according to Pilot Fillmore, one who has escaped for a moment from a very matter-of-fact world.
