The Navy determined upon the purchase of the pipe on its own account in the belief that it could secure a better price than the contractor could if the contract should be awarded on the basis of supplying the materials as well as labor. The 76th Congress, which adjourned January 3rd, appropriated two million dol- | lars for the construction of this line to Key West. has been held up due to the completion of a final sur- vey by the consulting engineering firm of sons, Klapp, Brinkerhoff ana Douglas, just been filed with the Construction, however, Navy.

FIVE LYNCHED IN 1940 Based on records kept by Tuskegee In- Negro college, cnly five persons were lynched in the United States during 1940, one a white man and the other four Negroes. Two of the victims were killed in Georgia, two in Alabama, and one in Tennessee, According to the report, the white man was lynched for wife beating and drunken- ness; three Negroes for attempted criminal ults on white women, and the other for attempting to qualify to vote and engaging in altercations with a white man. Compared with the horrible prevalence of lynching during the latter part of the last century, this crime has been remarkably in- frequent in recent years. Only eight were lynched in 1936, eight in 1937, six in 1938 and three in 1939, which was the lowest for any year during which records were kept, beginning with 1882. Lynching reached its most frightful height in 1892, when no less than 231 per- sons were killed by mobs, 69 of the victims The next largest num- was 211, in Since being white men. ber lynched in a single year 1884, and of these 160 were white. 1882 a total of 4,695 persons have lynehed, of whom 1,292 were w hite. The resort to lynching is indefensible under any circumstances, and it is a reflec- tion on any community in which it occurs. chings have been reduced an average of only six ears gives hope that been from 231 in 1892 to a year in the last five » this blet on American civilization may soon i be entirely removed.
