Hundreds of late arrivals in cars and on foot were away. A tense stillness was broken by the soft strains of stringed music.

Sunday evening he was tendered a reception at the ball by the societies of the parish. Father Dukette was the principal speaker. Guffin A. Skinner was master of ceremonies. Rev. Joseph F.

In (Continued on Page 2) P A A FLAY MIXED MARRIAGE LAWS San Francisco, Calif., March 5.—An emphatic demand that every state in the Union be compelled to give legal sanction to marriages between the races was cheered to the echo by the California branch of the National Women's party gathered in the exclusive Fairmont hotel here last week to celebrate the birthday anniversary of the distinguished civil liberties advocate, Mrs. Susan B. Anthony. In a bitter denunciation of race prejudice Miss Charlotte Anita Whitney, nationally known lecturer in women's rights, scored the white women of the country for failing to take up the battle against anti-frauded marriage legislation. Avoid outbursts of applause from leading members of the California branch the white woman voiced a strong plea for the whining out of restrictive legislation. Defends Intermarriage "If a full grown man and woman wish to live together as man and wife," she insisted, "it is only decent to allow them to do it, no matter how much we want." "Our laws forbidding intermarriage of the races reduce the Colored girl to the level of a dog and deprive her of that respect that should be accorded every human being. They leave her without the redress of wrong that is given to every white woman. It is simply our own fear complex that makes us avoid this question of interracial marriage. The Constitution recognizes the citizen, and has nothing to do with race or color. It will be years before we have courage to declare for compel a state to change. And the result of our untimidity is the present intermarriage legislation." Scores Race Prejudice "What Price Freedom" was Miss Whitney's subject. Describing the work of Mrs. Susan B. Anthony, who was an associate of Frederick Douglass, she scored the disfranchisement of the women of the Race in New York. Anthony worked the universal suffrage. She worked the price for sponsoring it. We should not rest until we have it. At this very moment one-tenth of the women of our country are not enfranchised." A nation-wide campaign by what is already being feared in political circles as a powerful women's blog may be pushed to fight intermarriage legislation as the result of last week's demonstration. Cheap politicians who have been dodging the issue will find their bluff called. These women know that the arguments against mixed marriages are bunk. They know that mixed marriages almost never figure in the divorce courts, while the dockets are clear. They are determined to fight for fair play and to denounce every chicken-livered politician who stands in their way. Arrest Four on Charge of Highway Robbery Winston-Salem, N. C., March 5—Bob Holt, Hassel Holt, Charlie Holt and Bynon Gibson, all white, were posted last week upon the charge of highway robbery and it is alleged that they relieved Grady Raines of around $30 on the High Point road, about eleven miles from this city when Rainey stopped his machine to fix a puncture.

"BUCK" TERRY GIVEN LONG PRISON TERM New York, March 3.—For the murder of Sam Taylor on Oct. 24, 1925, William "Buck" Terry, prominent in sport and fraternal circles, was sentenced last Friday to serve from 6 to 15 years in the state penitentiary by Judge Morris Koenig. Terry had pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter and had asked for punishment on the plea that he was intoxicated at the time of the quarrel and soounding.

PENNSYLVANIA MAN TAKES DAUGHTER OF WEALTHY NEW YORK CAPITALIST AS BRIDE Poughkeepsie, N. Y., March 5.—A 70-year-old police judge is being forced to resign under fire, the New York state legislature is being called upon to pass a law barring miscegenation, and the state of Pennsylvania is being asked to extradite young Charles Edgar Smith for trial here on an abduction charge as the result of a series of tangles following a mixed marriage that may rival the famous Rhinelander case. The tangle started with Smith's marriage last September in St. Jude's church. New York city, to 16-year-old Sarah Zeigler (white), daughter of the wealthy local brick manufacturer, Calvin Zeigler, and reputed the prettiest girl in Poughkeepsie. Startles Wealthy Society The sensational romance of Smith and the wealthy young white society girl at a local gossiper's tongue waggling at a furious price when it became known last fall that they had closed and gone to live at Smith's home. The father is one of the most prosperous business men of Dutchess county, and society leaders of this slick young community received a severe backhand when the hefress to his fortune stoutly asserted her love for her dark-shinned groom and her willing father's estate to go live with Smith. A month ago the girl, about to give birth to a child, returned to her parents' home to ask forgiveness, but the rich manufacturer shunned the door in her face. Judge Thomas A. Alden had known the young bride before her marriage, offered her protection in his home. Frame Up Charges Precautious white residents who had sought unsuccessfully to break up the marriage now tried to drive Mrs Smith from the shelter of the judge's home. A charge was trumped up that the expectant mother was carrying a gun without a license. A search of the judge's home was ordered, and the judge was charged with the threat the gun down chihuahua to fool the judge. Presence brought from the office of District Attorney Allen Reynolds, and the old judge went to the office of Sheriff Close Wednesday to write out his resignation. At the same time Supreme Court Justice Merschuser issued a warrant for the arrest of Smith on a second degree abduction charge. Extradition from Pennsylvania will be sought Smith can be located there. Steps have been taken to secure an annulment of the marriage. The attention of State Senator Griswold Webb has been called to the case and it is expected that the legislature will be called upon to consider a bill barring mixed marriages in this state. Social Leaders Pleased The record of the New York state legislature is too well known to give any grounds for belief that this Jim Crow measure has a chance to pass. New Yorkers have had too much deserves in the past to tolerate anything the man or mixed marriages and the woman could do so married that every New York politician realizes that to advocate such a measure would be to sign his own political death warrants. The young heiress is perfectly content with her situation and looks forward to opening up the Long Island home which her dark-skinned husband is purchasing as their love. The child she is born. An interesting feature of the boy has been the unanimity with which all the old friends of the young society girl have rallied to her. The calling lists of the most extensive groups in the wealthy set in which she moves beside the Zelter and the husband and the long Island social leader, being with lively anticipation to receiving the newlyweds into their set.

The long fight conducted by alumni of Howard university against Dr. James Stanley Durkee came to a successful close March 1 when he announced that he had offered his resignation as president of the school to take up the pastorate of the Plymouth Congregational church. Brooklyn. This church is one of the most exclusive in New York. Its first pastor was he Henry Ward Beecher, father of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Makes Faculty Changes Makes Faculty Changes Dr. Juricek born in North Seattle took part in the creation of Howard university in 1915. His first years of administration were said to have been productive of much good to the institution. It was in 1924 that the first trouble started at the school, when an efficiency expert on Columbia affairs was obtained from Columbia to the then-herized Dr. Durkee to make certain changes. Early the next year Dr. Durkee began to carry out the recommendations submitted by the Columbia expert and caused to be retired some of the leading scholars in the Research and science included in this list were Dr. Kelly Miller and Prof. Alan Locke. Alumni Take Action This action, coming on the heels of a student strike at the university, aroused the alumni to action. Dr. Durkee became a storm center on campus, and he set himself into camps throughout the United States and began a concentrated effort to have Dr. Durkee removed. It was openly said that he was attempting to wreck the school by removing the thinkers from the campus, and that he was an academic rating. It was also claimed that while Dr. Durkee was president of Howard university, he headed a school of physical culture in Boston that absolutely refused to admit any person of our race. As a result, he was prosecuting in different sections of the country. Dr. Durkee was not in a position to give his undyed attention to Howard university, the alumni declared. The resignation of Dr. Durkee drew attention to Howard universities, as their president has been preaching at the Brooklyn church for some time as a substitute for the pastor. Dr. Newell Dwight III, who resigned in 1923, because Howard have not yet received the trustees of Howard have not yet received the Durkee's resignation, it is generally believed that it will be accepted.

FIRST PHOTOS OF KING TUT ARRIVE IN UNITED STATES Photographs of the solid gold coffin and mask of Tutankhamen, the pharaoh of Tutankhamen, the temple opened by Prof. Howard Garter Feb. 12, 1924, have arrived in this country and are appearing in various news-banners. He can adequately describe the marvels uncovered as the discoverer of Tutankhamen neared the completion of his work. The inner coffin of solid gold, the third within the sarcophagus, is shown by the photographs to be among the world's finest works of art. It is beaten out of $250,000 worth of bullion and is over six feet long. It is magnificently engraved with the auxiliary colosseum work of gold and precious stones, turquoise, lapis lazuli and carmellum. It represents the king of Egypt. Over the arms and ahdomen are a winged protective culture and the serpent goddesses Nekkhat and Buto, and the over the legs are lists and Ninthyha. Inside the colin was a mask over a little has been heard of this mask, which, Carter now reveals, itself contains $25,000 worth of gold.

William A. Wallace, 3638 Indiana Ave., president of the Chicago branch of the U. N. I. A., was presiding over the meeting while members of the faction opposed to him were more or less disorderly. Among those opposed to Wallace was James Hazelwood, 25 years old, an insurance agent residing at 15 W. 37th St. He is now in the county hospital, shot in the left shoulder, arm and side. He accused George Fair, 3433 Dearborn St., alleged benchman of Wallace, of shooting him. Fair was arrested Tuesday by the Dearborn Police Department Olivier and Morgan of the Third district, and was idiplied by Hazelwood at the hospital as his assistant who shot him from behind at 46th and State St. Disturbed Meeting Officers Oliver and Morgan, who investigated the cause of the trouble at the meeting, sent there in response to Hazelwood's summons for the police, were told that Hazelwood disturbed the meeting by continuing talking in the rear of the chapel. Fair, alleged by members of the opposing group, the police said, of being a paid slugger for Wallace, commanded Hazelwood to "shut up." Then followed this dialogue: "We're no super office here. You can shut up your mouth." Hazelwood is said to have replied, "What it takes to make you shut your mouth I've got," came from Fair, who is said to have drawn a revolver. At sight of the gun Hazelwood then said, "If that wasn't you're going to use. I'll have to sit down." A few minutes later Hazelwood summoned the police, but they failed to find the gun which, they said, Fair had passed to some one in his group. No arrests were made and Hazelwood was advised to get a Shot in Back After the departure of the police Hazelwood left the meeting in company with two young women. When they reached 46th and State Sts., four shots were fired at his back. Three took effect. The gunman fleed through an alley and Hazelwood said he recognized him as Fair. He also identified him as a member of his division, of prompting Fair to shoot him, the police said. On this information, Wallace and his secretary, Eugene King, 558 E 60th St., were taken into custody. A member of the faction opposed to them signed the complaint. Wallace denied Hazelwood's charge and said he didn't know Fair. After the latter's arrest, he was identified as a member of the investigation at the bureau of identification revealed him to be an ex-convict, having served two years—1905-1907—in the penitentiary at Little Rock, Ark., and 30 days in the Bridwell here some time ago.

Mays, who has been a storm center in the present wage fight, and whose friends point to as the man who brought the porters' wages from $25 and $7.50 per month in the earlier days to $77.50, reiterated his charges of bungling and in effect being a simply throwing good money after bad if they listened to a promise of getting $155 a month as a flat wage. "Certainly," stated Mays, "you may quote me as saying the so-called managers of the brotherhood wasted their opportunity through indulgence; but everything produced has happened, and it took no prophesy to see it.

Those who pay to be amused will let you do it, but after your opening performance your business will drop one-half; if good, the box office will swell to S. R. O. Every well-known medical show has a new patient who have forgotten the old medicine show days. All the public wants for its money is something new, clean and original. A clean glass of water is washed and peps is equivalent to a clean glass of water and will last as long as the old stage door opens and was a small boy I saw a horse running away. A man blew a bugle and the horse stopped, the sound of the bugle hit the drum of the horse's ear. Song writers and producers are trying every day to produce a drum of the human ear. When you accomplish that you have reached the standard—hit the point. That's what the public wants—praise the ear drum first, then the eye. Standard hits are keepsakes to the broad-minded performer. It makes no difference what kind of dress you wear, but it makes sure you have the tone of voice that please the human ear drum. There are hundreds of artists today that are giving their best to the stage, want to work in ville, musical comedy or burlesque, but these artists are not giving the whole show the eight, 10 or 15 minutes they are on the stage: they are not going to be stippers, they would not be show-stoppers. It's easy to give the public what they want. If you have original ideas and talent. We pleased the public for 41 years. When you are great your time is taken up by too many friends. Rest and proper diet will keep you on the boards a long time. Moonshine and wine are great for grave. Worry about the other fellow is another bad disease. KOPPIN THEATER Bv H. D. GARNETT Detroit. Mich.-Another good vaudeville bill is booked at this house this week, proving to be a better one than last week's. Each act is in a class by itself, with the audience overflow crowd, and all left well pleased. The acts are: Brown and Brown in a singing, talking and dancing opera, opens up. Their mournful orchestration and dancing bers so over big. Their act is a riot. Harry Fiddler, that Oriental single, who needs no introduction, in a scream of Chinese impersonation. He gained much attention, went over big. McLain and Loveless, that singing duo, in a brand-new turn, which is strengthened by Mr. McLain, the splendid songbird with a million-dollar personality, scores big with her song number. Mr. McLain also goes over with his song. Their jokes are good, but good both gaining applause from the audience. It's a No. 1 act and could be placed anywhere. Caroline Williams and Boys in a dressed up to the minute, dressed up to the minute, themselves with glory from start to finish. Miss Williams puts over her song number with telling effect. The boys are a real big-time turn in the right spot. The Margaret Johnson Trio are the great headliners, and I must say they prove their worth. Miss Johnson proves herself a top-notch record she puts on over, with Miss Lillian the piano, who glorifies herself on the twories and also with her saxophone number. They have a little girl working in the act, and her singing and dancing is too bad! It is a knockout show of praise. The entire show is clean and classy, and a hard one to beat.

In certain city, a lady running a rooming house in that city bought advertising space in The Chicago Defender and long and loudly about the small space the $2.50 bought. Nevertheless, when questioned, she admitted that the advertisement netted her $10,000. The advertisement in the Defender and secured rooms at her house. The above story is illustrative of the attitude of the newspapers, magazines and other mediums of advertisement. They desire the publicity but they don't want to pay for it. The manager of their business they must advertise. We never purposely omit mention of our appreciation for courtesy extended to us, but sometimes the data is mislaid and for that reason the story is not carried in our column. Mr. Meadows, city editor of the St. Louis Argus, is an old friend whom we are honored to know. He took us on a delightful and interesting excursion through the Argus plant. We met Mr. Mitchell, the managing editor, and also Mr. Anderson, to whom we are indebted for an instructive two hours. "Red" Burnette, stake manager at the Hooker Washington, also conducted us through his up-to-date rooming house for performers. In Louisville, Robert Allen spared neither time nor expense to see that we were delightfully and comfortably housed. In Kansas City, Dr. Hill, dentist; Mr. Watkins, undertaker; Officers Bush, Foster and Garrett contributed generously to our entertainment. Mr. Elmore Rean, proprietor of the Golden West Garden cabaret, and owner of the Colonial tea rooms, entertained us sumptuously. Harris and Holley, Race entertainers of exceptional merit, were featured at the Orpheum. We spent many delightful hours together. The girls in and about Kansas were in and about Kansas, kept us company in Street's up-to-date hotel. Mr. Street makes a speciality of catering to the theatrical performers. Foots Gregory is doing excellent work. McDonald and Leggett and a jazz band are big features. Next week at the Princess theater, Tulsa, Okla. Dallas, Texas. — William Harris' Hits and Bits company, comprising 20 members, will present at the Ella B. Moore theater week of March 1.

Moore theater. Seven Black Aces, write, Manager Chinzt Moore is suffering the flu. Films Waters, Harry Brock and Cut-Out Kid are taking a much- needed rest in Dallas, Texas. Many fine letters were received this week. Among them were letters from Ozzie McKenzie, the beloved Worth Seals and Mrs. Lela Walker. Bolden's Seven Syncopators of Fort Worth play every Sunday night at the North Dallas club. A Charleston com- pany has opened the hotel 2423 Cottage Lane St. Hot and cold water and other conveniences are at the disposal of guests. The letter came from Sandy Burns, with several photos of him- self, Joe Williams, Eddie Douglas, Billy Higgins and Cannon Ball Dick Medding, taken in front of John Con- ner's cabaret. The great old man says he is expecting a photo of your company. Next week a list of photos received by performers for the blue room at the North Dallas club, this city, will be given. BECK AND WALKER'S GANG We are playing through the states of Utah and Idaho and encountered our first heavy snow this season goering down the road. There has been a little change in the company since I last wrote, Mr. and Mrs. Beck are doing the advance work for the show. Elmer Moore, a musician, joined us at Oregon City, Ore., playing cornet in B. and O. George Earley, violinist and alto, closed to play cash in an orchestra in Seattle. Wash. Caitlin, who knew there as we haven't heard from him. Slim Austin has charge of the hand, Bob Edmonds and Don Morton have purchased saxophones. They are getting ready to travel. Traveling shows seem to have it hard securing dates out this way, as the motion picture agents are monopolizing most all of the available where traveling shows have played. The percentage is so small for the shows that you can't make expenses. Small dance orchestras can get plenty of money. Dakota, Montana, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Wyoming. The whites are dance crazy. There is a rumor that the show will go under to play in Iowa, where the whites that play in the theaters. We will play through the states of Wyoming and Colorado, then start East. A number of the bunch spent Sundays in Ocelotillo, Idaho. Also, we teach its cut our permanent address, 315 W. Smith St, Sioux City, Iowa. Wm. Benbow, the pioneer showman, and his musical show are still there in Wm. Phloxin. The week they are in Wm. Briar, it is grand theater. Marie Richardson and Herman Autery have left the show and have joined a carnival attraction, which is good and the master showman is good and satisfied, so radios Hennetra Leggett.

Give one a working amount of talent and ability to social attraction, and it our advertising and publication agencies at the ratings with the news-supermen, so will it; they can work that into a star over night. It has been done on a cell phone and will be done again. Such is the potency of well-directed television, briefly, a celebrated theatrical promoter, and it cost $300.00." JOHN H. Grace George a star. Most of the $20,000) was consumed by advertisements. He has said something to this effect: "Give the people what they want and they will make a path through the desert or build a road through a swamp to the thing they want. Give the people to know that the thing they desire is there unless it be advertised?" P. T. Barrum was just about the first to put the capital A in advertisement. He was also about the world's greatest circus, Barnum's the name his memory immediately calls to mind. He knew and appreciated the value of advertisement. He most struggled through a discouraging period of time trying to get his Postum product on the market, but when he succeeded in borrowing enough money to take an entire page in one of his advertisements, his product the fame of the quality and merits of Postum soon spread and it was not long until he had amassed a fortune of $20,000,000. The company is still spending fortunes for advertisement. Because a thing is good and one knows that it is good and just because all the people have been once told that the public should stop advertising. One must continue to tell the people that the thing is good or else they'll forget it. What has become of Ruflofer, Peruna, Arbuckle coffee and cocoa of other products, is very different, in contrast, to wherever one's eyes might turn? Why did "Shuffle Along" enjoy such a high wave of popularity? Not only because it was an enjoyable experience, but because it involved more genuine advertisement and publicity than any other Race entertainment. Why do Race producers and promoters strive for a Broadway showline? Not because of the publicity, but because of the publicity the show will receive if it makes good. Few Race shows have made real money on Broadway, but the advertisement and publicity has a show receives more than a state of approval assures its road success. Critics and those competent to judge the qualities and merits of show readily concede that our "George Washington Bullion Abroad" reckoned from the stand-point of plot construction, continuity of story, flexibility of action, tunerfulness of score, comedy, hilarity and beauty of scenic and costume investiture, was one of the best Race musical comedies ever produced, but it was destined never to see the light of Broadway and we have never received full credit for our achievement, due to the lack of advertisement. Moving picture firms spend millions of dollars to advertise their films, yet the majority of the managers of Race theaters think they have run the gamut of publicity when they put a few pictures in front of their theaters and run the announcement of their next attraction on their picture screen. Word of mouth advertisement is very good but if the patrons of a theater don't know that a stellar attraction is hooked for the next week, the attraction is compelled to play to half TEXAS TATTLES TEXAS TATTLES By WYATT D.

THE MUSICAL BUNCH Our Spirituals THE CHICAGO DEFENDER THE GEORGIAS THE GEORGIAS By TIM OWSLEY Not long ago we read where Race preachers were to exchange pulpits with their white brothers on a ceramic table, so doing no doubt, it was believed it would in some way help form a better relationship between race and race and likewise carry out the teachings of the Bible. "Love ye one another so that you would mean peace, and to my way of thinking peace on this earth would be the highest form of civilization. ```markdown ``` tion on our music said some good things and some wonderful theless we should forgive and forgive them for a nere credit they would take away from us. [Picture of a man with a mustache and a goatee, wearing a black shirt and a white hat. The background is decorated with intricate patterns and borders. The name "Barnard" is written above the portrait.]" The most sacred music to me internals, carrying their sacred medi- cal construction atmosphere. Many white brother for some reason did not fully carry out his port of the compact. Some of us are like me watching a checker game, but we look at what we read is true the white brother as well as the Race brother could lay aside a bit more of their real life and be a great deal more spiritual cleanliness. of these writers have no idea of the real significance of our spirituals, although of other nationalities they call themselves authorities. I want to congratulate Cleveland C. Allen, correspondent of the Cleveland musicians, who in a seven article series wrote about our spirituals, especially the popular orchestra leaders who were using the music as foundation material for dance arrangements. This is what he wrote. Negro, and should not be cheapened and popularized as they have been on the stage and elsewhere by persons whose main object is commerce. To these people they are real hymns. Some one seems to have forgotten the Bible's teaching that it is a "alm to lie." Some one also seems to have forgotten the Bible's also true "not to lift my soul to the city" from man's viewpoint what one of these sides needs is broad-mindedness, which makes one ready to recognize worth in others and respect the opinion of others, which will help one consider both sides of a question. Very true are Mr. Allen's remarks, and we should try to preserve and abused. They have no place in the theater or dance hall. Nothing but a religious atmosphere should hover given birth to some tune and lyric. Some were in the cornfields at the time; some were in the coal mines; some were in the church new. They would in their oppression and despair look up to the Creator, asking and many other wishful expressions. One side needs a lesson in courtesy which would manifest a spirit of thoughtful helpfulness and would practice that make one conspicuous. One side needs honesty and sincerity. It helps the soul when one has the strength to be honest under pressure to be straightforward and unaffected. One side needs self-control to be able to hold the mastery of one's self under trying circumstances and to be confident to moderate even though others are unfair. So beautiful were these songs that the white brother, with his theoretical knowledge of music, put them on paper and then mercilize them. Several million-dollar music corporations have them now in handsome bound book form and they have proven to be commercial assets to the publishers. In the words of the spirituals really were reverenced and held forth. The whites would almost overflow the church in order to hear these weald sacred chants. Most of the wording was taken from the Bible, but it was original heart-throb saving. In the very country where I write there is a 24-sheet billboard covered in graffiti, "Out of the dusk dawns daylight, out of the church comes civilization," "Out of the church comes civilization." But if a little more Christianity could come out of the church civilization would be an easy matter to handle. On leaving St. Louis, Mo., the Georgias first stop was Hopkinsville, Ky. This town is in the heart of the tobacco section. Kentucky is the home state of three of us on this show. I am sorry to say, yet it is true that the race pبحت the weather is not a key ambition something, because as a whole they are away behind in modern social and business life. Still they seem to be happy, standing in the shadow of modern advancement. Our next stop was Clarksville, which is a Tennessee tobacco town. Here the Race people show a spirit to advance as far as the laws and customs of Dixie will allow them. There is much health among the Race people and several little modern business places, and Race schools whose structures are of a modern type. Many of the Race students we met out of these schools showed marked intelligence and their "upervations" were interesting from an intellectual Humpback Billy Burton. Here there were many people who were a canopy-thelled and Frank Brown spent a few leisure hours at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Roberts and while there met Miss Myrtille Roberts, daughter and a high school student; also Miss Nannie Roberts, a niece of Mr. Roberts. Hard work in the business was made by Mr. Roberts and Clarksville's well-to-do men. He is the owner of 25 modern houses and a grocery store. Although several hundred untrained voices, the harmony was naturally partisan and was sweet in its echo with the tenor and the tenor with the intense. Our spiritualists are not just "tunea" to pass the time. They have a meaning, they carry a message, they are the persons we seen in an excited point of emotion during the singing of some spiritual. Many would burst out unexpectedly, shouting, "Glory Hallelujah," or some other glory. They had been raised. Quite interesting is a story concerning "Swing Low, Sweet Charleston," sold a mother away from her child, and rather than be separated from her baby, the woman contemplated throwing herself, and child into the river bank, and then way to the river bank when an old mammy, divining her intention, stopped her and said, "Don't do that, my daughter." Long swings low. She waited, the child's life was spared, and in time he grew up and made a home for the mother in Tuscanabos. Ala., and called the place by waw is now the name Nashville, capital of Tennessee, was our next stop. Here we played the opulence theater for two days to both entertain us in the Nashville Banner for our efforts. As everyone knows, Nashville is a college city and the seat of intelligence in Dixie. I. Railroad, a railroad company, printing plant and still makes show folks welcome to his city. On the corner of Cedar and Fourth Sts. stands Morris Memorial building, a museum of the business district of any city. Charles Thorn operates the cafeteria on the fifth floor of the Memorial building; and one can truthfully say that he is the most respectful. We found Miss Long on duty as day cashier. Nashville is the home of Milton Starr, president of the T. B. circuit, and operates the Rifle theater for Race people in Nashville. Spirituals are not dying out, nor will they. They will live throughout the ages. They are just beginning to die, and they are taking a strong hold wherever they are once sung. The truth they carry generates power, and they are taking a strong hold imitation. There is a vast difference between the spirituals of this day, written by late day writers, and those of pre-emancipation ones—the folk. The folk songs of today are light and do not carry the deep religious significance that the old spirituals carry. Roland Hayes, our own celebrated spiritualist, tells them a part of it, and when he sings them his whole soul seems to envelop them. He causes others to wipe away the absurd, and absorb himself, God bless Hayes. Hayes for his part in perpetuating the life of our music; no other has done as much. He has brought it to the world and the world has ac- During our engagement the local Elks gave our annual minstrel at the Bilson and played to a sell-out, the Tenon, was the Georgian's next ston, Dike proper and a town that was once the largest mule market in the world. Columbia is also the town where Herea a Race man was tried by a Tennessee criminal court under the code of the Tennessee law and found not guilty, and because the law said this Race man was beaten and let him down in the courtroom before the county and state officials, and today this white man walks the streets of Columbia unpinned for a murder not mob him, that's true, but some of those men who witnessed that killing belonged to some church and so there every Sunday and have the power to show us how, for one, and they did not, but for another, we saw advertised not advise it. We must sing more of them in our churches. They are inspiring, good food for the sinner and, furthermore, beautiful. Should we not be assumed, should we not race to proclaim the sweetness, the beauty of our own music that we seemed not interested in? Let us learn them, let us teach them to our children so when they grow up they will know that our race, too, has its beauty. We must sing with perseverance "Ali All." let our group reverence the spirituals. Smiling Billy in Town Smiling Billy Stewart and his orchestra, direct from the Twin Cities, headline the opening of Windy City at the State-Congress theater, one of the large houses here. The band is enqueued in a big white tent and a large hit at Monday's matinee opening. The Georgians' next stop was Tuscumbia, Ala. There are three towns together, Florence and Sheffield before they moved to Sheffield and we took the lim crew to Tuscumbia. Here is the much talked of Muscle Shoals, where we met the wealthy Race families in this section. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Watts there are five daughters, three of whom are teacher in Marzerum, Ala., schools; Hattie Watts, teacher in the Roswellwald Smithsonia school, Florence, Ia., John Watts, Sheffield, Mattei Sheffield, and Ipelliah Kellan Watts.

Brown, a member of the famous Cotton club orchestra, was born on February 14, 1910, wife on his birthday, Feb. 14. The members of this band were formerly of Robinson's Synagogue. He also browns many more birthdays. Our next stop was Albany, Ala. Just one mile from Decatur, Ala. I found one in business in Albany. He runs a small lunchroom, Bob Clark and Aaron Pace Spout their leisure time in Decatur. I cannot say much albama until we play Birthright on the 22d, 23d and 24th of February.

Song Writers Just a warning to amateur song writers: Don't pay any attention to the content of so-called song publishers who will make you rich and famous. If you have song words, or both music and words, send them to some music arranger, to be developed. Music publishers are supposed to these publishers, clipped from Variety of New York. The U. S. government's prosecutorial office alleged song sharks" for using the word "founded" started Monday before Judge Howe in the U. S. district court. Album S. Keller and George Graff, Albion S. Keller and indicted defendants alleged to have muted many would-be song writers. The government will call George Gershwin, Rudolf Friel, Silvia Hein, Sigmund Romberg and others as ex-presses relating to song composition. Keller, as president of the New York Composing Studies and the New York Music Publishing company, has published some legitimate song writing, as a composer to revise and edit amateur lyrics. The "composition" to the words fetched $30 per song, with pitching out and line offs offered rates. The writer was "guaranteed" publication. The World Music company figured here as the ostensible publisher, being another Keller-Graft enterprises, and the only of the composing studies. The defendants are indicted on 10 counts. Carroll Dickerson's Band Carroll Dickerson and his orchestra will soon hit the city after a record breaking tour of the Pantagoras circuit. The boys have won many laurels from public and press and we of Chicago should feel proud of them by giving the banner for us. We should give them a roaming welcome home. Distinguished Callers The writer was visited this week by two distinguished persons, namely, Katherine Baldwin, songbird of Garl. Ind., and Rishnan D. Hankins of the same city, Mrs. Rapier is the wife of the accomplished attorney of Gary. She will be visiting the school in India to indicate "Ethiopia at the Bar of Justice," written by Edward J.

In Fine Shape Cook's Dreamland orchestra played for the Okeh record star ball on Feb. 11. The Okeh record north hall will never be surmounted, presented made by this organization since last I heard them. Cook has them well tuned and a dynamic limit are these players. They are average Race orchestra, perfect in attack and intonation; they sound like an honest-to-goodness American jazz band. The great versatile cornetist, capable of doing wonders with the trumpet and as strong as Sampler, played in detail. I believe they all breathe together. Their solo work sounded like a gust of wind in harmonious atmosphere. One particular piece was "Spanish Shawl." It was the novel eccentric arrangement by Cook, displayed in bright color and sharp lines, dancers to sell for more and more. Another Novelty Tate and his great Vendeme theor- ist use week at the theater very Where to Buy OKeh Race Records seem to enjoy this form of musical entertainment. Nowadays the oratorio has got to be a good thinker or he can't last. Creation is what the public wants to see and hear. The old style overture will be in order only if the audience has more pop is the thing to hit, and this aggregation is giving it to us. Joe Jordan's Band Our own Joe Jordan and his band are roaring fine harvests in the East. They have taken New York by storm as all western bands generally do, but the Colts still wail wheel bursurese. Maillard will get them at Boston, Mass., this week. NOTES Mr. Shaw, the flute and piccolo players, has left the Georgia minor orchestra, with play in Kansas City, playing with Blackburns. Several big flute orchestras will play at the Metropolitan theater as act attractions beginning next week. The orchestra will have four orchestras will be the starter, followed by other well-known orchestras. Clarence Williams and Perry Bradford, the song barons, left for Des Moines, right after a few days broadcasting. Dan Travis, the hand promoter, has brought another in the jurisdiction. We wonder how this case will come out. Marine Jones, the song writer and orchestra leader, was much in evidence at the Okeh record ball. Jones is the composer of several jazz dance hits. Sammy Williams, pianist, is the pride of the North Shore exclusive class and is much in demand for afternoon performances. Joe Motuchon, first violinist in the Vendome orchestra, was injured in an accident a week ago, which required his laying off for five days. Lee emiliton violinist, filled his chair. Dave Peyton and his orchestra will play the show and dance for the annual minstrel fest Easter Monday. Ed Bailley is still piano conductor of the Koppin theater orchestra in the motor city of Detroit, Mich. John Williams' jazz band, with Sara Cannonette on the Orpheum circuit, plays a hit. Some "hot" are these boys. First-class演出, oboe, bazzon and cell players get in touch with the writer at the office. Address mail to Dave Chicago Defender. Benny Moten and his band were unable to appear at the record star ball on account of just taking a big step. It was impossible to leave at that time. Rutty Richards, the young shuffle trap drummer, spends most of his time in the writer's Loop office. The cause can be easily explained. You can be easily on Rutty. The Scribe is on to you.

New York City SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1926 STEWARD'S STEWINGS STEWARD'S STEWINGS By SMILING BILLY Chicago—This writing finds the old gang in the home town of the Woods, Woolsey and boy, we got here is man and boy, we find that two or three of the boys have sore feet. Having been very busy since we landed, I have been in the woods and boy, by the old plant and giving Days and the bunch the once over, but expect to do so as soon as we can get things lined up. The folks will want to know what is we are doing here. Well, that we will not sing so loud, as we do not know, but we are going to know what is the musical field that you will hear more about later. In leaving the Twin Cities some of the boys left all kinds of tears fallen, but we have hated to know. Gil He, the fellow and treated the boys just like a father would, and I think he hated to see the bunch leave, as it will be very lonesome around the house. On the train Chick and the old man had a lunch fixed for them by Mrs. Fnoch Marshall and her mother, Mrs. Fnoch Marshall and you was one of those lunch you carry you back to the old days. That chicken just wouldn't behave. Thanks, Mrs. Marshall, also Bob. Hope to be leaving your own again and you will be back with smiles when we left except Chick. He would not have very much to say. St. Paul was too bad. There have been a lot of funny happenings in the L. Pappy Hall and Plane Charlie had it about the L. trains to see who could get the first ride. Old Bando Brown yelled out "I have beat you and I tell you them bubbles do go." Kid Puffie got lost in the Loop, Booker made the wrong transfer and rode 15 blocks past home. All that happened and I tell you them bubbles do go. A letter will catch us care of the W. G. W. All right. Dab Brown. I will answer later. So far, Johnne. things look good.

The set continues to live up to its traditions of the past, and the present members present acts that are right in variety of appeal. The opening is a meldy song and comedy of the entire company and is brimful of catchy music, spectacle and nimble dancing. Arline Brooks, a charming girl, sings "Indiana," assisted by the chorus. The Monarchs are a trio of musicians and B. Whitney, pleased the audience in an act brimful of musical appeal. "Old Men's Dance," with B. Whitney leading the chorus, which was in male form, was a scream. Eggy Wiley, the Oklahoma Twist, a dance not seen in any other company, here gained repeated applause. Arline Brooks. Frankie Watts and Mabel Hidley. "Three Mellows," a particular advantage in song numbers. Other bright lights were Ida Forryne, Russian dancer; Nona Marshall, Bobby Lee Frederick, Alesia Buchan, Ruby Williams, Baby Knight, "Bronze Beauty Chorus." According to popular opinion this is the best been done since the beginning of the New Year, "Brown Skin Models" included. The Eblon Theater "The Lady Who Lied," Sunday's presentation at this house, with Lewis Stone, Virginia Vallil and Nita Dalid in the principal roles, made a debut during the four showings Sunday there was on slump in the interest of the public. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the feature offering was with Carol Dempster, Miss Dempster has a role which discloses her talents more effectively than in his previous performances. So for the public in Thursday and Friday offers, is clearly notable for its handsome women and the astrocious acting of its men. The plot is excellent, being taken from "Garland and Company," by David Graves, the most fascinating one, but Eugene O'Brien does not impress with his historic ability, and Anders Randolf, the villian of the play, is an astonishing a wooden Indian at a ribbon counter. The Gem Thsater Harry Carey in "The Man from Red Gulch." a story of revenge told in dramatic style, was the Sunday of despair for the beloved Jesse Carey to get even with the man who had betrayed his friend's wife is fraught with action. "Rockless Romance," a comedydrama, was well received at its pre-release. The apprehension not lacking and every member of the cast was given a full measure of approval. The performance is a smooth and scintillating one throughout. Other attractions include "Dynamite Dan," "Dynamite Ace," and "Spades," and "The Green Archer." Feature attractions coming are "Wolfheart's Revenge," "Thunder Mountain," and Lom Chaney in "Flesh Notice to Performers For the past few months members of the various shows have been complaining of the treatment they receive for taking care of their children. They claim they are overcharged for accommodations. Irvin Miller, Brown Skin Medals company attorney for the Lincoln theater, told two shows and hunted far and near to get a fair deal in that line. They told the writer they were being treated for a dish of oatmeal and milk, and 15 cents for a small dish of chill with five crackers. This writer is glad to report these complaints as I will be performing for the performers in any way possible. Actors may consult the Lincoln theater programs upon arriving at the performance, and assistance in solving their needs. There is really no first-class hotel in Kansas City equipped to handle the traveling public. Rooms with bath and toilet facilities pitcher and bowl, or more or less dirty. Performers should inspect their rooms as well as the menu before leaving. Charles Edwards, stage manager at the Lincoln, married Thursday, Feb. 16. He is now employed by the Your Cab company. George Davis, former stage manager, has been on the job replacing Edwards. The "Sunshine Sammy" company, which has been playing one and two-night stands in small towns around the country, began a week of March 5. It is hard to understand why "Sammy," a big-time attraction, can afford to lose money and prestige by playing "black-town" houses in small country towns when the opportunity to cash in on big stuff. Henry R. Dixon, show man and producer, left the city Tuesday night on route to Newport News to assume the manager of the Lincoln theater in this district. Dixon spent the winter in Kansas City, was advertising manager of one of the Race weekly newspaper and was also assistant manager of the Lincoln theater. "Boll Weevil," the washboard king played the Madh St. theater in Lexington. Mo., the past week, being booked by the Western Vaudeville association. This theater, with a string of others, is owned by the managers of Lincoln in this city. Herman could. MAIL RADIO Adkins, Lawrence Barnett, E. L. Barbato, Curt Bock, Lester Bock, Levi Barker, K. N.

RUNAWAY PEN POINTS Indianapolis, Ind.—I have seen much advancement made by our group in the field of stageem. I glory in any tendency to show that we are keeping pace with the rest of the world in every legitimate endeavor of possible or probable accomplishment. In the past, I have been taught that talents lies the realms in which are our greatest attainments. This brings to mind a question that is of racial importance. "What is the Race best to discuss it, nor am I going to analyze the Race to answer this question. But, speaking of natural talents, my folks are O. K. when it comes to us. We have a natural instinct, if I might call it so, for comedy, but we don't seem to have the desire or ambition, or something else, to develop it mercifully purposes. Let's take the stage. There is a lack of originality in the performances that we see among our people. Of course there are excerpts excerted by the Washington theater to be ponied to bounce. But now I have in mind those that I have been seeing week in and week out. I have been a first-nighter at the Washington theater from a date that goes back to the 1960s. I am not sure are billed there are on a circuit commonly called by the profession the "Tobey." So what I might say in regard to them is not a reflection wholly on the Washington, but a criticism on that circuit and others of like caller. Evidently there must be a lack of originality on the part of a large majority of our performers. Surely they need new ballet or dance and new verbiage or lines and new routing. The acts that we are seeing now all have a sameness. Every week we see the same ballet, we see the same dancing. Every week we hear the same smut. The daily newspapers are loaded with topical subjects' questions, ideas and facts about ballet, dance, body, with and now, but the comedians that we are now seeing are far away from anything that is topical, going folks of the small houses are crying for. Acts of originality embracing clever and talented artists make a difference in the crowds and a difference in the box office coffers. There was an act here three weeks ago that went over like a whirlwind, with applause after applause. And the place, had talent and ability to put over in a classy and finished manner what they had to offer, which was original. Their acts was a most revered one, one that included old jokes and cracks and some ancient songs, carelessly shapped together, comprise the make-up of too many acts. The market is crowded with performers with a week with a lot of out-of-date songs. The affairs of the people, the highways and the byways are saturated with material for the performer's use. What is really going on around him, I have seen the possibilities of some acts shattered because the performers up in a presentable stage. 'How if you do it' that counts.

It makes you look simple and ugly. Don't trown when you come to a bathroom, the music—that is bad salesmanship. Don't make yourself conspicuous during intermission period by floating through the houses talking here and paying their money not to be disturbed. Don't go about the community saying bad things about your leader. He may hear it and you may find your self offended. Don't go around playing in the other fellow's band when you are off duty from your job. It lessens your value to your employer and it gives you one something for nothing. You may be accused against the union law. Don't do anything to embarrass your union officials, whether they be right or wrong. The managers are never with you when you are in the union. You will see that you are rightfully treated. Leaders, don't go around telling managers and owners that you have the only band in town. You lose your band and your "shot." In any experience with jazz orchestra it is the job that makes the orchestra. The minute you lose members, the members seater, some leave town and some join other organizations. So don't say "my band." You may your contract tonight and your band. AMID THE PALMS By BILLY E. JONES Palm Beach, Fla.—S. H. Dudley's new show, "The Ebony Follies," opened last week in Washington, D.

Paramount The Popular Race Record COY COGITATES BY COY HERNDON "Sugar Foot Green from New Orleans," said Robinson as the star of the attraction, played a three days' engagement in Miami, finally had tent the opening night. The usual parade was given, but the opening performance and while I was uninterested in the entire show, the half that I did see enjoyed very much. The nature was the dancing of every Coy Herndon mont in Miami to a fairly filled tent the opening night. The usual parade was given, with aistle to the opening performance and while I was unable to see the show, the half that I did see I enjoyed very much. The feature was the dancing of every performer in the stage. The singing is weak but every comedian can boof. Foots Robinson as usual stopped the show. Mr. Hunt, the manager, stated that the show had one a wonderful business in Florida, he throw away one of the best titles in the show game, "Shuffling Sam from Alabama," a wonderful title, for the present one that he is using. Mr. Hunt will have his show on the front stage, but will not use the present title. The show played Miami at 50 cents top. Georgia Smart Set This was the second visit of the famous Smart Set minstrels under the direction of L. R. Holdcump, who did nearly a capacity business at $1 per day. He only two days behind the Sun Palace in Smart Set has added a couple of new features and the entire show is speeded up quite a bit from the last time I saw the show. As usual the show has his marvelous bicycle riding, while Nellie Worthy, our greatest conterist, wound her body around chairs, tables and performed some soaring case and grunted Little Mama Worthy, 6-year-old wonder, simply placed the show on lee with her Charleston. She stated before she shook it and break it. I tookouch for the shaking part and I trust she didn't break anything other than breaking up the show for a few minutes. As have reviewed the show some weeks back, the singing was good and every comedian a hit. Mr. Roykins put over a novelty with his trombone manipulations, using a broom as an instrument. Sam Rhodes gained for himself a reception when his "Last Clean Shirt" song was announced, while Gladys Robinson with her corpse uplause. Space will not permit me to name each individual. Shooting Stars Stopping at the Dorsey hotel is Bob Slater and Corline Smith of New York. Both are starring with Johnnie Hines in the doe-rool comedy, *Johnnie Hines and the Doe-Rool Derby*. He needs no introduction, as his day dates back to J. Ed. Shipps, L. Lubrey Hill. Bert Williams, Cole and Johnson days. Slater is one of our most popular comedians, arriving in Miami 16 shots were made for this famous comedian. He is doing second comedy to Mr. Hines, and Dina Kane, the leading lady, who has a very important role. The moving picture company ordered reserved in advance the highest priced rooms in the Dorsey hotel. If you want some real done on the finest horses in America, Mr. Slater may any night and see Harry Man or C. E. Walker of New York.

Tourist Boys Club Honestly I have never seen so many artistically decorated tables and beautiful women assembled to tour the city, and reception guests by the Tourist club. To begin with the Tourist club is composed of live wire young boys of Miami, but 99 per cent of them are from large resorts. You find them from all the large cities. A prize was awarded the best decorated table in the large Dreamland dance hall, a prize task. Mine, Norby won first prize. The crowd got a thrill when her electric display was turned on. If you were looking for hospitality Mr. Norby is from New York and did not forget to bring it down to Dixie. If you want a thrill visit the table of Wm. Chiatman, who only a few cents paid for his exhibition due to his mechanical inventions. A private ice box was starlioned within reach of the table and if there is anything that one could not taste differently I have failed to ever hear the name. The affair was the talk of the town, but Joe Evans promises to outdo it with his annual March 2 at Dreamland academy. Mail will reach me at the Dorset hotel, N, W.

SEEN AND HEARD SEEN AND HEARD By O. J. TATUM Beaumont, Texas. — The Imperial club gave a George Washington birthday party, and as they always draw the crowd, it went over big. The Blue Melody left Wednesday to open in Galveston at the People's Park. The crowd was small, but they can tell the world that the boys know their stuff when it comes to jazzing 'em up. The Lazy Dady bunch showed the gang a nice time after the dance. Jolly Davis, the only sweet papa in the night, as he was doing church work, and we excused him till Friday night. The bunch played at the Old Fellows' temple to one of the largest crowds ever been seen there. The dance was given by J. Samuel Green, one of the gentlemen you don't meet every day. I mean he is a dance proponent, boys had the pleasure of meeting a few of the gang. Robert Underwood of Lolly Pop fame and Frankerman were out of the city. Kegg Fisk also Arthur Prince. Miss Willie Moleti entertained the boys and showed them that Houston has some swell birds that really like to meet the gangs here. Our Houston engagement was the meeting of my friend Lawrence (Curly) Land of Port Arthur, who wined and dined the gang from the time we hit the "ole town" in Houston, and jolous of Curly, and I believe I will open up a domino parlor, and maybe the ladies will wave over me. The Melody Boys, some of the gang, still on the summer, and little Miss Houston she summed up stir them pots. Taylor Welles was on the job, also Charley Pay Day. Sweet Papa Snowball showed the boys that he goes just as big as the rest of the gang, and if a fellow didn't know he might think he was in old Mexico. On our back we made a stop in the Fifth ward to say hello to Miss Camilla Bixon 1929 Gray St., and she put on a dress and a hat and a trip was one with plenty of excitement and thrill and was made in two Fords, and then Fords just wouldn't pass a filling station without getting and of service.

Shall we say that he is on the level of a common cur dog? No, we shall not dignify him by making such a statement. For even in a canine world gratefulness may be found in abundance. Ungratefulness BY SAMUEL M. JOHNSON GUIDELINES is that evil which closes the eyes of a man to kindness shown to him. The causes him to bite the hand that's feeding him.

He suffered the ridicule of the lemmatics to the voyage to the new world. He had perforated the hardships and depressions incident to the trip. While sailing upon an uncharted sea with the danger of being cast into the mighty ocean, he met with mutiny crew, but because of the subsequent discoveries of DeGama his countrymen became ungrateful for efforts and after his fourth voyage Sinai a broken-hearted man.

I made an appointment with Linda and had permission to see some of his work. "The surprise of my life has never been equated as it was upon the occasion of the art work of the artist. Before me were works of art of every description—sculpturing, painting, modeling in clay, wood carving and drawing galeries. "There were hand-carved birch and manmade wood busts of Lincoln, Harding, King George, the Prince of Wales, dancers and bakers, the chos, Indians, horses and Hindus in their native attire. His paintings were all nature studies. "In spite of his wonderful talent for all this work, he prefers sculpture. He has sold his painted pictures for different sums. With this money he plans to up the study of sculpture. From the models placed before me, in my mind I can safely say that within a year or so he will become one of the sculptors that the world has produced." "He plans to go East to study.

I have almost given her up, but I believe she cares for me any more, so before I leave another, I am asking little-baby, G. C. M. Forced marriages are seldom a success. The need for every reason to doubt the continuity of the human nature craves the things that are difficult to obtain, but once these same things are too hard to be able to do, they never appreciated to the fullest extent. A young man who is forced to marry a girl, or a woman who is rather the most cully of transgression, the most de- for the end of her child, and if he loves her, he is so good to be a man, and wait until he is forced to marry her. The girl begins to see how foolishly they are, and the end of the termines to make him suffer the life of love finds it way, it is very often too late, and the result is that when either a woman is so very good to be a man, it has been so for兆间, that they find peace and happiness impossible. I say, "I am a man, I am a man, I am a man, and no woman can respect man whom the law compelled to wed her. Dear Princess: I come to you for advice after reading your wonderful reviews. I am a married woman, 22 years old, and I know how much you have to do with me. My husband, I am one who is visit my people. We will be on the other side when I him is promised to return in three-four weeks. He assured me he would send for me when it was time to come to me. I am a man who has been sent for me, not stated any reason for acting like he did, but I would hear from my people, and I would know how long it is going, but he never wrote. I finally started going with another young man, his people do not approve of him going to the house, but I am not with him. He wants me to see my divorce and marry him. Now, Princess, this week I am having a good time with my son, so I have been to have been home. I have grown to love her other man. What must be? Worried A husband has every right to expect oblieve from his wife, when he proclaims that he is not going to make her happy, but when he does not, he is no more to her than anyone else. He is not going to every word true, and I have seen so many causes just like yours that I have his wife's pride and are for his convainment—just for him to shift his doomsday plans to want to use his money for a high time. It is very kind of any husband to send his wife to it, it is also very nice for him to send her return railroad fare and J.

He wants you to write to him and let him know that you had almost given up moving to go for yourself. He is wrong and knows that you are not going to go for yourself. He thinks you are too well satisfied. If you love the other young man he thinks you are in a choice to see that you are in demand. Unless you can see some good in your husband that I cannot, do not return to her. Dear Princess: Ever since I read your advice to young girls, especially one who would be needle-to-need for prayer. I have wanted to write, and after reading the consolation you had to write, you would be so much to encourage me—one who is sadly in need of you. I don't understand that my body has always been a consolation. I am a girl, and I'm trying to work with my brother. I have parents who say they love me, but not different. I think I have a child and I will do this very well. I have another will read this and take need. If she has a daugh- or a little boy, I hope she will encourage her and tell her she is proud of her. It is a good thing to be a child. I have never had a romance or a love to me. I have never had a child, if some one reads this who really prays will remember me—little. I think I have a child and I will do this very well. I have a child and I will be one of them. It is for two reasons, the first one being interested in the future of their children as they should be, and consolation is the only way to this. I think that this must be a very thuslarm over their activities. Secondly, some children are very send-and they see their parents through dark glasses, believing their parents are the only people who are so close to me. I am a person and do not intend to exaggerate my ability to be a person. I believe, particularly for your parents to be as they are toward you, I am interested in your success, but you expect to much praise and they know it is not the same thing that you think you can improve the home condition he seeing the good in your care. I am a person who is so good in others, it will certainly be reflected in us. Prayer is the limit of you, but I feel that a prayer from you, but I feel that a prayer from you is the most important one of them. I know that a doctor, girl, says day you will thank me for the kind consolation even though you may not see it now. Dear Princess: am a young vea! student, desire of expression of a nice young man, I am 21 years of age and I can't descent speaking of the world. I am sure you can find a number of nice young men who would love to learn French, rilippe sound of Spanish or French, I am still willing to do my part.

There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation. If you write to me, Eugene M.

This was in round nine. Greb's Sister in Tears as Brother Loses World Title Humphreys waved his hand as a token for silence. There was an awed stillness as they waived on Joe's announcement. Many thought that his presence had been the reason. Even Flowers seemed to fear that his desperate physical trials and his earnest prayers had not been answered after all. In his anxiety Flowers fairly jumped half way through the door when stood stock still even through the announcement: "The winner and new champion, Tiger Flowers." Then the "Tiger" pausing only for a second to touch hands with a finger, spring over to the corner of his chest. The cloth had turned away, as though he had emotion. He had all but broken into tears. Not far from the ringside he could see his sister, weeping convulsively. He felt the new champion's arms around his shoulders he faced about and managed to smile through his defection.

Biernstein, also for 12 rounds, will present a lightweight champion, and little Bobby Green, an army fighter with outstretched a reputation.

The bout was slow, having the better of 10 of the sessions. Jack DeMave, Tom Fahy's blond-haired heavyweight, added another victim to his list by knocking out Markus Huch Boyle's Polish boxer, the sixth round of the wind-up that was scheduled for 12 rounds.

For 15 slashing rounds tonight he outgamed, outslashed and outstayed Harry Greb, the colorful king of the 160-pound warriors, and when Announcer Joe Humphreys lifted his brawny, brown arm in token of victory while 23,000 spectators roared their tribute, ring history was made. For Flowers is the first world's champion of the Race in any class since Jack Johnson quit to Jess Willard at Havana, and he is the first man of his race to ever wear the middleweight crown in all the battle-pocked years of ring history. It's a proud title that Flowers falls heir to. It once belonged to Stanley Ketchell and other great heads have borne it with pride. Harry Greb had graced the throne of the division a little less than three years. He won the title back in the outdoor season of 1923 when he outstepped Johnny Wilson for the decision just as Flowers outstepped him tonight. Not just as Flowers outstepped him tonight, either, for the Greb-Wilson rage, while this battle tonight was a bruising, mauling dog fight from the first. There were no knockouts, but there was spilled blood aplenty. A winked upgrout from Flowers raged out, outcry in the second round, and he laughed a river for a considerable spell. GREB FOUL FIGHTER It was a cruel, ill-tempered affair all the way through. Grab never fought fouler nor with more ill-conceived venom. Realizing that he was a man of great intellect, and cleaner living than man, he resorted to every foul trick he ever has used. He held the back of Flowers' neck with his left hand, holding it right-hand uppercurs. He maudled and wrestled and tugged at his man with no attempt to conceal his intentions. Twice—once in the 10th and again in the 14th—he deliberated Flowers' actions, pushed him through; then, with his shoulder, in the fashion, for all the world, of one football player charging another, he seemed to be trying to force Flowers to slip side the ring and cripple him. The crowd booed and hissed him all through the fight, and when he shoved Flowers through the hemp in the 14th, almost started in one ringside scissor. Referee Gunbat Smith didn't interfere for some reason. Perhaps he considered it six of one and a half dozen of the other, for Flowers' ring style is almost as unorthodox as Greb's. While he didn't hold and his jibs were any jinjitsu measures he masked it in the whiskers several times with a backhack blow, which is not supposed to be done, and then he kept chopping Greb's ribs with the side of his hand—a thing the school kids call a split.

Greb went to the post a 2-to-1 favorite over the somber demon. Thousands and thousands of supposedly wise dollars went entirely wrong, and there isn't the price of a stack of wheat cakes among the slickest doorways along 46th St. this night. Greb tonight was a pitiful figure from the first. He was a man trying to fight his own shadow—a shadow that wheeled when he wheeled, ducked when he wobbled, always and ever just beyond reach, yet all the while stinging his ribs with a chopping right, stabbing his jaw with a hair-trigger left, all but eviscerating him with long, crunching flesh, and plaining his short ribs with a reddening fissure. Flowers had been called "the Black Green" before this, and tonight they were indeed of identical style, only the longer and the stronger, the surer and the fainter. There is a law of the athletic world as inexorable as the Bible code as the Medes and the Persians. That law says that the athlete who breathes fire thought he could make a lie of that law as he has made it look foolish into the past. He did his road work on ballroom floors; his sparring partners were now the bull-necked gentry who fit a man for fighting. They were rather the port young ladies one sees along Georgia Deacon to Tour Europe During Next Couple Months "Blessed be the Lord, my strength, which teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight." New York, Feb. 27.—Tiger flowers, who won the middleweight championship when he gained a decision over Harry Greb, said today that he plans to defend his first victory in eight years. He will tour Europe for two months, giving exhibitions with George Cook in London, Herlin, Edinburgh and Paris, offering to defend his title and with moving picture opportunities, the Tiger will return to his home at Brunswick, Ga., next week. Walk Miller, the champion's man, defends his title three months hence, under Tex Rickard's promotion, against the "leading middleweight challenger." Broadway like brilliant flocks of preening birds. Harry took them about and lauded at the trainers. He gymnasium, where he fitted himself. He even walked into Madison Square garden for the fight this night with two gorgeous girls—one on either side of him, the other on the bright seats at the ringside, arranged their magnificent fur coats over the backs of their chairs, then stepped with the spring of a colt up the aisle to the dressing-room while the crowds stood in the hallway. But this was the night that the piper foreclosed. Harry's lady friends sat white-faced and mute while their hero tried in vain to get back into the stride that the crowd had bounds from rope to rope like a stone fired from slingshot to slingshot. The old legs that have given him his remarkable speed and running in there were just a couple of stumps in there, all fly on fast and so free that by the law of averages they are bound to connect enough to dazzle an antagonist, were shattering the air this night. Harry Greb had showed down at last, and a slowed-down Greb was a little Greb. The silent dark man knew from that first round forward that fate had called in Harry Greb's and he fought like a man insured. It was Flowers who landed the first blow of the fight, a stiff left swing to the jaw. It was Flowers who kept the jaw and crowding the astonished white man all through that bitter first round. It was Flowers who brought the crowd up with a coar half way up the wall, and drove the champion into a neutral corner and belabored him with everything but the timekeeper's watch. Apparently stunned by the cheers that were inducing him, George Dacron went insane just before the bell and tore into Flowers with a flash of his old-time ring. They went at each other like a couple of mad dogs. The clan of the bell was lost to both of them. Gunboat Smith tugged at them in vain. It seemed for a moment as if the ring fight had become a real fight. But at last they stopped and each went to his corner, staring and very quiet. It might have been right there that Greb and his handlers realized that Greb wasn't the Greb of old, for Reddy Mason dived to his knees and began working fervently on Greb's leg muscles. And this was only the end of the first round, mind you! The second round was a fast-fighting session with honors about even. It was a battle for blood—that much was sure. Almost every blow known to haxing was raised in this round. Smile Came on Face of Flowers When He Spied Better Half "Blessed be the Lord, my strength, which toucheth my hands to war and my fingers to light." Flowers was the first to enter the ring. He jumped over the cobes and took the cover of the Eight Ave. stable. His solemn, rather wistful face seemed almost said as he stood in his corner and his eyes searched about the house. Findly they found the object sought, and a smile lit his features. He located the spot where his wife was seated. He followed a minute or so later, and it must be said that his reception had little on that accorded Flowers. THE BOXING GAME In round eight Greb, fast tiring, began his foul tactics of wrestling. In this round he was cautioned by Gunboat Smith when he deliberately hit in Flowers' eye. On two other occasions he shoved Flowers through the ropes. The former champ's poor sportsmanship cost him many friends.

Feb. 25. -- "Tiger!" Flowers credits his observance of the rules of careful living in the things that have counted strongest in his climb to the title of world's middleweight champion. He makes it a practice to read three verses of the poem "The Fight" as a afternoon of his life when he is training to give battle with his fists. He admits he prayed a little harder than ever before his battle for the title. He was on a long, hard climb for Theodore Flowers from a job as porter at $15 a week in the gymnasium of his present manager, Walk Miller. So the fistie heights. He was born in the south of the United States, though most of his life he has lived in the little village of Brunswick, Ga. He is the son of God-fearing parents who brought him up to shun gambling. It was in 1317 that he put on his first pair of boxing gloves. Strance to say, it was Philadelphia Jack O'Brien who was in a way responsible. This same O'Brien hapened in this city where HareGrab always traites for his contests here, and where he trained for the match that has just cost him his title. In 1917 Jack O'Brien was conducting a gym in Philadelphia. He was school-aged when flowers, when flowers, when flowers, who had been at work in the shipards in that city, happened to drop into the gymnasium. "I don't know what came over me" relates Flowers, "but I found myself just licking to put on the gloves with my hands." So he spoke to O'Brien and the latter consented to let Flowers spar with some of the heavier pupils. He had speed and natural aptitude for all his greenness, and O'Brien had some nice things to say to him on his shoulder, but his side started the "Tiger" off, how his side was in a way responsible for his first professional bout. It happened that a chap named Rufus 'Cameron was in training at SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1926 Battle ht Title WRESTLING 2 GREB SMITH began his foul tactics of wrestling, Bunbout Smith when he deliberately On two other occasions he shoved her champ's poor sportsmanship cost TO PUNCH FLOWERS' RISE the "Tiger's" home town for a contest. When Mrs. Flowers saw Cameron doing road work she just couldn't help but brag a little about what a fine hoyer her husband was. "Didn't Mr. Office see himself?" A local promoter hearing of this persuaded the "Tiger" to take a try at professional fighting and in one of his earliest bouts Flowers broke his right hand. Which incidentally, about to his southpaw style of fighting. Then Walk Miller, who owned a gymnasium at Atlanta, got interested in Flowers and gave him a job as porter and started him off fighting in earnest. He had 18 bouts in 1921 and one of the men he met practically in his first year was Panama Joe. Flowers was an opponent and Flowers was knocked out in five rounds. Later on he bested Gans. In 1922 Flowers had a busy year and was forced to give weight in many of his battles. He lost on a technicality to Jamaica Kid and was stopped by Kid Norfolk and Lee on he boxed Norfolk to a draw. Flowers made his debut here about two years ago at the Commonwealth club and finally broke into a hout in the old Garden, where he won over the middleweights, stopping him in sensational style. Year before last came his first meeting with Harry Greb and he won over the champion by a big margin in a no-decision contest. Then came the hours with Jack Delaney. Flowers seems made to order for Delaney, but despite the quick knockouts suffered in these contests, Flowers was in no whist discouraged. These was the only challenge he has suffered in the last three years. Despite the lack of early advantages, Flowers has learned to play both the violin and saxophone and his greatest pleasure in life is when he and Eilly, as he calls his wife, Yours DAY FREE $5.00 for a fountain pen alone, all sum of $1.00 you can receive aged and profusely illustrated POLICE GAZETTE FOR 13 WEEKS and this very fine Fountain Pen, self-filler, with 14k. solid gold pen, iridium-tipped, and beautifully chased barrel.

Detroit Wild Over Baseball Prospects Detroit, Mich., March 5 — The fans of Detroit are much enthusiased over the prospects of the Stars at the playoffs, and they kept them out of the running for the last two years, but a different tale will be told this year, as President Pierce feels the pressure to close the 1923 season in remedy the stumbling blocks. Pierce feels enthusiastic because he believes he has a team that has lost to a team set to a ball players, and by which a player's ability is usually judged. Spring training for the Stars, if the weather will not permit the outdoor training, arrangements have been made to use the gym of the Jewish institute where the boys will have an opportunity to loosen their muscles. Among the promising recruits who will report are Nelson, a young league and with independent teams last year; Reed, a pitcher from the Coast; Moore, an infielder from the Southern League; Blackwell, for "We go into training with high hopes, said Secretary of State "but club will be needed for matching for club.

But the Spalding boys evidently played most of what they knew in the first half, which ended 19 to 13 in their favor. In the second half those pesky case preps from Phillips worked up by Coach Herbert Magia's lecture went half crazy and they took their fling at basket tossing and ran up 17 points while Spalding was totaling three points and the game ended 22 to 10 in which Spalding in their clever effort to stop Phillips stampede didn't pass the ball, but kept it on the Phillips players, and theothy hanged the tale—a Spalding victory. It was a great game indeed. Spaulding will return next year. The hair-raising finish in which one basket for Phillips would have tied the score and the excellent floor work of McCarthy and Capt. Vincent Kaiser, who lived up to their advance notices, kept plenty of pep in the crowd assembled. Phillips' rooting section was notically weak until the second half was well under way. Four field goals by Hannon and three by John McCarthy put the visitors well in the lead in the first half. McCarthy's field goal in the second half, the only basket for the visitors in that half, was really the winning shot as Phillips' scoring machine was working on all six. Higgins shooting four baskets and Pearson two, with Holiday and Jones contributing one each. The pace set in the closing few minutes of play was undescribable. It was one of the most hair-raising finishes ever recorded on the local floor. Suffles to say, the game was really worth the price of an admission and more besides. Spaulding lugged off the beautiful silver cup which went to the victorious five. The first game of the evening was a walk away for the Jewish People's Roamer girls, 20 to 8. Lack of competition throughout the season showed heavily on the losers. Isadore Chaney, the South siders, while the West side aggregation had any number of such. The last game was won by Phillips, who beat the Schulz light-half on the short and of a 10 to 2 score. Schulz threw a scare into Phillips rooters in the first quarter of the game. Friday night, but the boys found themselves and the second half "just wouldn't behave." Dancing to music by Prof. Seronel with the Roamer polished up 20 can wax made the evening one of those long to be remembered.

Lacy. Keenan Gives Lie to Rumors About Bolden New York, N. Y., March 4—A great deal of misunderstanding has been created in baseball circles by the misrepresentation of an article which intimated a conspiracy existed among certain commissioners of the Eastern Baseball league to oust Edward Bolden as chairman. There have several of the commissioners have had personal disagreements with Mr. Bolden, so far as I know, there has never been any opposition against him for the chairmanship of the association. Keenan, owner of the Lincoln Giants, "Mr. Bolden is the most experienced of the commissioners and was an avid movie star in the organization of the Eagles. He was turned to from the beginning as the man best fitted for the chairmanship and has on the whole made a good cord." Shepard of the Baltimore Black Sox and Colonel Sturruff of the Harprington Giants deny having any knowledge of this supposed conspiracy in behalf of Bolden. So in order to elude the air, subject I am requesting that you give publicity to this statement." OH, YES.

I PLAYED POKEP WITH HIM ONE NIGHT AND WHEN I SAID "ANTE" HE THOUGHT I WAS TALKIN' ABOUT HIS RELATIVES— Return Bout May 21 New York, March 2—Harry Greb signed articles today to meet Tiger Flowers in a return bout of 15 rounds on May 21, at Madison Square garden. Greb's signature clinched the match an Matchmaker less McMahon had already secured Tiger Flowers' contract, requiring him to defend his crown within three months against any opponent decided upon by the outstanding contender. (Continued from Page 10) and a lot that boxing isn't supposed to know as well. The mob, realizing in a flash that here was what had all the earmarks of a battle to the blood, came up with a plan: they whaled and battled and rocked away, driving each other back and forward across the ring with the heaviest sort of artillery. Great kicks from former splitting man at finish, while the Tiger's manager, Walk Miller, dabbed a bit at his man's left eye with a cloth, if some damage had been done in that region. **BLOOD FLOWS LIKE WATER** The third was still young when Flowers caught Greb with a right hook (Flowers is left handed) that almost scaled him. A wicked gash over his left eye opened wide and snatched in the champion's blood almost before Flowers took his hand away. Deacon Flowers rushed him all over the ring, trying, it appeared, to knock him dead. Greb was in distress, it was a terrible sight. The dark demon and stage another rally just like the one that ended the first round. It was a great fighting finish, but the demon treated to his grin while Greb stumbled his stool as if he were already wary. The fourth was another fighting round, with both men swimming wildly but energetically. They charged each other first, and the first time Greb began his holding and hitting tactics. The crowd began to boom him. It seemed that he had decided he couldn't hold his own by honest methods and he decided to resort to them. They started another fighting finish to close the session, and for the first time Greb seemed to have a bit the better of a round. Then the 10th round the going was more careful and cautious on the part of each, and although the pace was perhaps slower than the torrid opening sessions, there was hard, cruel fighting every step of the way. But these middle rounds began to show, without any chance for mistake, that Greb was not the man to beat his challenger this night. He was missing a foot, and he was leading afloat and he seemed totally unable to stand the Tiger away.

The jungle cat he is named for. the shriek of the ring chandelier, looked like a pan of burned blacuit, and his naankw brown arms were tearing away at the white man's flesh with never a tear. Once in the seventh round he caught Greb with a whistling right to the jaw that almost knocked the champion out of his balance. It rocked him like a reed in a gale. He stumbled backward and took three steps before he could catch his balance. He rushed and off balance. It roughled Flowers, again wrestling him almost to the floor in an ineffectual effort to tie him up and choke off that left that Flowers kept churning amisship. Same enough, but Greb came out in the 12th for a desperate bid to bring the battle a bit neater even. His handlers must have been on the ball, that his title was testerling in the balance as it never had before, for he came out with a rush and belied the ring for the entire round. The deacon merely covered up and let the storm blow. This isn't to save that he wasn't worried about it. He wasn't worried about it. He cheered Greb madly all through the session, until almost at the close of it he seemingly lost his head in anger, chagrin or dire desire to maim Flowers. He deliberately crowded him into the ropes and just as deliberately hurled him through and onto the heads of the newspaper men at the ringside. Hitler, fortunately, wasn't hurt. He leaped back into the ring and torsed back at the white man, but Greb had lost the admiration of the crowd by his act. They booed him to his corner and booed him for almost the entire day. That was the last of Greb for everybody but the gambling representation, who rooned a little forlornly from here to the end because their flowers had been stolen. Flowers had the 13th and 14th, the crowd booing Greb again in the 14th for a one-armed push that almost hurled Flowers flat on his back in the 13th and 14th from hell in hell, but the fight was plainly the challenger's. WEST VIRGINIA CAGE CHAMPION START MARCH Institute, W. Va. March 5—The high school of the state will meet to determine the state basketball chain to March 19 and the tournament to West Virginia College Institute. This tournament is held annually under the auspices of the West Virginia high schools athletic association. Last year, the first of the tournament there were 10 teams and a night of thrilling competition Lincoln high school of Wheeling emerged as victors, defeating in the finals a fast and plucky little team from Browns Creek district high of Liberty and Sinniman high of Montgomery were in the running right up until the last minute. Other teams showing up well were Sumner of Parkersburg. Garnett of Charleston and Geona Avenue high of Blufffield. Since the inauguration of the basketball high schools belonging to the association has increased materially. Eleven of the sixteen high schools in the association last year sent teams to the tournament. This year, when there are more than 22 members, it is expected that will be about 10 teams representing. To date 11 high schools have signified their intention of being present. Among these are Lincoln high of Wheeling, Kelly Miller high of Clarkshire, Summer high of Parkersburg, Dunbar high of Fairmont, Gayy high of Gary, Dubois high of Wil- By Rogers HIC I WOULDN'T BE WHERE I AM FEELIN' LIKE I AM HIC PART I—PAGE II Gym 44-32 SYKES LEADS SCORING WITH SEVEN BASKETS Traylor, Bailey Also Do Share Atlanta G., Feb 27.—The Maroon Tiger returned to his late after having conquered Eskay and comedied kittens.

Sykes played six years on the varsity and has been chosen all-American guard two years, and A. Traylor, who has an enviable reputation for tipping off and following up. These three gave the local fans a chance to see of their skill in their game with Sykes for 14. Traylor second with 12, and Bailey third with 12.

Facing a stiff schedule of diamond clashes this spring, the Farther baseball mentors are getting away to an early start and indoor practice for the battery candidates in now in full swing. Five veteran hurlers are now working out every day in the Clark gym, with an equal number of rookie aspirants for pitching assignments in the coming spring campaign. Jennings, Toles, Williams, Nelson and Tolbert are the fingers who saw service last year. Among the vets of the 1925 machine who have climbed into uniform as Young, McFarland, Henderson, Trammell, O'Neal, Williams, Robinson, Harris and Douglass. The more promising of the new men who have swelled the indoor car are at Back and Johnson from the basketball squad, Section and McLin, seasoned tossers, and Lemon and Shaffey. Hanson, Dubois bigh of McDonald, Washington high of London, Garnett Huntinstein and Brown Creek district high of Klimbain. Other entries are expected daily, among which will be Genna Avenue high of Bluestead winning games with surprising regularity throughout the present season, and which has already been heralded as a "dark horses" at this tournament. From here and there in the state come all sorts of advance messages as to the teams, their preparations for the game, some the bacon and the finnishen of Lincoln high school. In spite of losing through graduation several of her best men and even reliable substitutes, has managed to make a creditable word come from Kilmall and from games, and believes in herself to such an extent that a corps of rosters, including "Miss Lincoln," are coming along to cheer her on to a second game, and that the word comes from Kilmall and from a dignity at the southern end of the state proclaiming to the world the fact that the team from Browns has not high has not lost a game in infirmity, and stopped by any high school team which goes about on ten legs. But at the same time, comes further word things about the "wonder team at Gaynor" in infirmity, and year for the first time, but which has been making a very credible showing this year. Dubois of Williamson was forced by finances to year but has decided that this year they will not be denied a chance at the big silver basketball trophy which is being offered the winner by the national association of girls in Collinwood. Kelly Miller high school is the only school in years to have beaten the Lincoln team, both at Wheeling and on the Clarkshark floor, and is almost complete with championship will repose safely in the balls of Kelly Miller high school. At present the athletic authorities at institute are busy making ready for the suitable entertaining of the students attending of the tournament. They are guarding with a religious enthusiasm all information regarding the type of the trophy, except that it is silver. Alumni from the various high schools at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute are preparing to take care of their friends and root for their teams. President John W. Davis has left everything in the hands of the students, and he promises that he will do anything in his power to make the entire affair a success. "You may count on me," he says, "for anything which is in the hands of the schools of West Virginia." Detailed information are in the hands of Coach A. F. Hamblin and F. A. Parker.

Relieves S Easily. You cannot go and be like o well. How often you see weak, to keep up with their household tell by their drawn faces and l ine effort is only dragging them ne The terrible struggle to go a taxes the strength and endura and healthy. The woman who is nervous and weak had better look carefully to the condition of her health, otherwise she cannot expect to go out and at the same time keep up with her household dutles. There is no way to stop the demands which progress makes on women who are ambitious for themselves and their family. The better course is to try and help nature restore energy, vitality and vigor to tired, sick bodies, muscles and nerves. Nature's Warnings Are Unmistakable Nature has a way of warning women when they need help. Headaches, backaches, pains in the sides and limbs, nervousness, irregularity, cramping, nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, swelling of the limbs and joints during pregnancy, those horrible bearing-down paths and that awful run-down and worn-out feeling of apprehension and weariness are signs that you have delayed long enough in helping your system to create new nerve force and energy. --- But suppose your system would quit working as it should tonight, would you know where to turn for relief? You might do as many unfortunate women have done in the past and experiment with various methods which only raise your hopes of relief to dash them down again. On the other hand, you will be wiser and save yourself much pain and suffering if you will follow the example of the thousands of women who formerly suffered and were in pain from so-called "female troubles," but are now well and happy again through using St. Joseph's G. F. P., the phenomenal medicine, which is now doing so much to help our weak and suffering women. The Road to Quick Sure Relief St. Joseph's G. F. P. relieves suffering, restores vitality and vigor, builds up flesh and strengthens muscles so quickly that those fortunate women who are using it are amazed and delighted beyond expression. It acts permanently because it overcomes and stamps out Catarrh of the Female Organs, which is now recognized as the real cause of fully ninety per cent of the pain and suffering among our women and girls from those painful and distressing troubles, which for want of a better name have been called "female disorders." It works naturally because it enables the gastric juices to digest the food you eat so that the nourishment taken into your stomach is quickly absorbed by the blood and carried to all parts of the system, building up and strengthening weakened flesh, muscle and tissues.
