(AP) An tgg a day will improve children's resistance to colds, two Columbia university nutrition experts said today.

Dr. Mary Swart Rose, professor tt nutrition, and Miss Gertrude M. Borgeson, research associate, said their experiments had punctured the old fashioned idea that ergs are too rich for everyday consumption of young children. An egg a day is not only a good "protection" against colds, they said, it also will "induce a significant improvement in longevity."

(AP) At least 37 persons were injured, some perhaps fatally, by the collapse of a building cornice on which spectators at a pioneer days celebration MRS.

PEARCE IS BRIDGE HOSTESS Dr. W. E. B. DuBois.

called "The Souls of Black Folk." It begins: "Between me and the other world there is ever an unasked question; unasked by some through feelings of delicacy; bv others through the difficulty of rightly framing it." The question is: "How does it feel to be a problem?" Dr. DuBois tells of his own early school days in New England; of how the youngsters once bought themselves fancy visiting cards, 10 for a dime, and began exchanging with each other. He passed one of his cards to a tall eirl, a newcomer in the school. With a haughty glance she spurned it. "Then it dawned upon me with a certain suddenness that I was different from the others; or like, mayhap, in heart and life and longing, but shut out from their world by a vast veil." The colored boy who was adopted by that preacher's family so many years ago worked his way through college and medical school and has been a practicing physician among his own people for a long time.

The younger white boy now is a middle-aged man who writes pieces for newspapers. All these years the two have kept in touch through correspondence. One of the colored boy's sons is named for the white boy. Spiritually it was a great thing for the white boy to have had a colored "older brother." Whatever amount of rr.ee prejudice may have been born in him was washed out in those years when he learned so poignantly what it means to go through life "different." In the mountains of Tennessee a colored boy knocked at the door of a little white parsonage which housed a young preacher and his wife, "home missionaries" from the North. The boy, who had been shamefully beaten, was in tears.

The preacher's wife took him in and fed him, and he became a member of the household. She gave him a name, for he had no name. She gave him an age. guessing him to be about 12. And she selected Thanksgiving Day as his birthday.

She herself had a baby boy, less than a year old. As the little white boy grew up, the colored bov acted toward him like an older brother. The family moved first to Ohio and then to Boston. The two boys at-frided the same school; they ate at the same table; they shared the duties of the household. For many years it never occurred to the white boy that there was any essential difference between them.

One day the white boy and his white companions went to a baseball game, and the colored boy was with them. There was a crowd at the gate. The white boys, full of and with normally bad manners, elbowed their way forward. When thev reached the gate they looked back; the colored boy was far behind. He had started to follow them, but some one had sneered: "You damn nigger." There was a look in his eyes that the white boy never had seen before.

It was fear. Years afterward the white boy read a book by the colored scholar, WASHINGTON, May A "Russianization" of American agriculture into "a government-sustained peasantry" was viewed by the American Liberty league today as a "probable" result of enactment of the Bankhead farm tenant bill. Thj measure, by Senator Bank-head (D. proposes a billion-dollar corporation to assist tenant farmers and other agricultural in financing purchase of fr- lily-size farms. Terming this "a step toward socialization of agriculture," the leaguo contended many tenants and sharecroppers were not trained to manage farms and that, unless the r.overnment used harsh measures, these farmers soon would be living on "public bounty." Another danger it saw in the pronosal was given in these words: "It is inevitable that political favoritism, if not outright scandal, would follow where laree tracts of land, representing a liability rather than an asset to the owners under existing agricultural conditions, might be unloaded on the government at excessive prices.

were standing todny. The accident marked the closing event of the pioneer celebration. The cornice of a two-story brick building, from which about 40 persons were watching the three-mile long parade, gave way, plunging them upon the densely packed sidewalk below. Police, ambulance crews and volunteers extricated the victims from the mass of brick and twisted steel. Despite the confusion, the parade was kept moving.

The more seriously injured were taken to hospitals. COUNTY AGENTS TO HELP SPEND RELIEF MONEY (Continued from Page One) WASHINGTON, May business as represented by the United States Chamber of Commerce tonight was urged by Harper Sibley to fight enactment of the administration bill to strengthen federal reserve board control over money and credit. Currency deterioration, lower banking standards, injuries to business credit and facilitation of "disastrous inflation" were only a few of the objections raised by Sibley, the chamber's new president, in letters to 1,500 member organizations. In assailing the bill as meaning "virtual creation of a central bank, Sibley did not touch on Secretary Morgenthau's recent open advocacy of federal ownership of the reserve system and President Roosevelt's statement that such a step would help solve many problems. Senator Glass Va.) already has challenged the administration to ask officially for inclusion of a central bank in the bill, but the White House has given no sign of making such a request.

In attacking the plan to increase the reserve board's powers over purchases of government securities, bank reserves and other centralizing features of the bill, Sibley said: "More jxtensive power would be permitted a few men in Washington than is granted to the board of any foreign central bank."

AGAINST PAPER MONEY Intimates of the President indicated they expected the veto message, already written, to state definitely the administration's opposition to paper money and to brand the Patman measure to pay the bonus in "greenbacks" as highly inflationary.

TALMADGE LAUDS SAVANNAH CREW Emergency relief has been sought for 284 families whose farms were laid waste by the hailstorm last Wednesday, according to announcement by A. M.

Rickman, county relief administrator. A survey of the stricken area, in Butler and Austin townships, was undertaken by the county relief organization Thursday morning and was completed early Saturday. Many of the farmers who suffered severe damage will be able to finance replanting themselves, and they were not included in the list for which relief application has been made. "Our survey Indicated that between 1.200 and 1,500 acres of cotton had been destroyed and will have to be replanted," Mr. Rickman said.

"Corn also was ruined in jguny places, as were many fine Mrdens, and grain crops just about Teady to be harvested were wiped out completely. SEEK FAST ACTION "Many of the farmers had borrowed money to finance their planting, and unless relief is forthcoming at once they will not be able to replant their crops. In that event, they would not be able to produce anything on their farms." The relief survey showed that the storm destroyed all or a portion of growing crops in an area between six and eight square miles. In many instances considerable damage was done to buildings, windows being broken and roofs blown away. The wind accompanying the hail increased the damage sending the ice pellets as large as eggs hurtling through windows and over fields with devastating results.

Mr. Rickman is expecting an imr mediate response to the relief application, as was laid upon the urgency of prompt action. Unless crops are replanted at once, it will be too late to hope for a successful year, it was pointed out. 60 KILLED, MANY INJURED IN ROAD CRASHES SUNDAY (Continued from Page One) and" that of Harry Wagner. 45, collided.

Party Is Given For Miss Melba Corley McCORMICK, May 19 Members of the Methodist Sunday school entertained with a most delightful party at the community house here Wednesday afternoon in honor of Miss Melba Corley, bride-elect. After a musical program Natilie Brown, dressed as a colored porter, entered bringing a large package of gifts. She explained that because the Methodist ladies had been keeping house for a long time they had many useful articles which they would gladly share with the bride-to-be. When Miss Corley opened these packages, much merriment resulted, as old broken up discarded household articles appeared.

The porter, however, reentered stating that one package "intentionally'' had been left off. This proved to be, when opened, a sterling cream and sugar set with candle sticks to match, presented to Miss Corley as a token of appreciation for her service as church and Sunday school pianist for several years. Miss Corley is the talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.

R. Corley and one of McCormick's best loved young ladies.

Compton called "the veterans' lobby national legislative public enemy No. 1," One of the organiwrs of the American Legion at St. Louis in 1919, Compton resigned in 1920 as commander of a New York post in protest over the bonus. With the rapid approach of the veto messige came further speculations as to the future of the bonus in the present Congress.

From one source close to the Senate came word that a survey showed 72 senators, more than enough to override a veto, willing to support a "compromise" bill which would give the President the option of paying the bonus with new currency, out of the work fund or by borrowing.
