FACTIONS IN DEBATE OVER WHO'S PASTOR
St. Louis, Mo., June 29.—Fearing another religious war at their services last Sunday such as occurred several weeks ago when two opposing factions met at the Church of the Living God, 912 N. Garrison Ave., members of the congregation appealed to the chief of police through one of the three trustees supporting the pastor, Rev. D. D. Davis, for a squad of patrolmen who were stationed at the church Sunday.
During the conflict several weeks ago police were called when Rev. Davis had broken down the bars at the doors, but was prevented from starting services by Bishop Webb of Louisville, Ky., who had been called by an opposing faction to preach and investigate the religious conduct of his brethren and inquire into a dispute in which Circuit Judge Mix refused to interfere.
Last Sunday the church was opened under protection of police. Members belong to Rev. Davis arrived at the church later and heard him preach a sermon.
Produces Decision
W. B. Hurt, one of the trustees
supporting Davis, exhibited a circuit
court decision throwing out a suit
instituted by the insurgent trustees
to oust Davis and leaving him in
protection in the city. The board of trustees split after
the death last March of Rev. William
Christian, founder and first "chief"
of the "mother temple" on N. Garrison
Ave.
Early in May, Davis, then occupying
Bain in East St. Louis, was
muffled he had been chosen pastor
of the St. Louis church. Whoever
notified him did so without authority,
Joseph McMillen, president of the
board of trustees, asserted to the
Defender correspondent, placing the
blame on Hurt. McMillen and
argued police the other after a
meeting several weeks ago
and McMillen settled the dispute with
a blow between Hurt's police.
Judge Deck fined McMillen $5, but
stayed the fine on good behavior.
The trustees opposing Davis asso-
cated him the other after his chief
and split the church membership.
A new "chief" cannot be elected until the general assembly in
July, 1929.

BEN BESS BACK IN PRISON
Rev. Bullock Faces Girl at Hearing
Raleigh, N. C., June 29.—The long delayed hearing of the case against Rev. O. S. Bullock, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, charged by his former secretary with being the father of her illegitimate child, began in the superior court last Monday and ended in a mistrial Friday, when after deliberating 24 hours the jury, unable to reach an agreement, were reluctantly discharged by Judge Cranmer and the case ordered on the calendar again for trial at the next term of court, which will be in September.
After the jury was discharged it was revealed that the vote stood 11 to 1 for conviction from the first ballot and for the entire length of consideration the 11 jurors could not persuade the one juror holding out for acquittal to change his views. The 11 for conviction was ready to answer the issue that the Rev. O. S. Bullock is the father of the illegitimate child of Miss Ella Evans.
Trial a Record
Clerk of the court told newspaper reporters that it was the longest time he could remember for a jury to consider a case in Wake county. The courtroom was packed by a crowd of 2,500 persons, who through twoullen sweltering days listened in stunned silence to the amazing and sordid testimony as it developed in one of the most sensational trials in this country. Early in the trial, attorneys for the minister attempted to prove him innocent of the grave charge by producing a birth certificate, alleged to have been signed by Miss Evans. James Davis, a well-known young lawyer, was the father of the child. A batch of letters, supposedly to have been written by the girl, were produced, but Miss Evans denied knowledge of them. Rev. Bullock is widely known throughout the state. He is a member of the much-married drive for funds for Shaw university and the all-baptist celebration of their 50th anniversary to be held in Raleigh during the latter part of next month.
St. Louis, Mo., June 29—Suit for $2,000 damages for the alleged shooting of a pedigree bird dog. April 22 last, was filed in the circuit court Monday against Dr. T. M. Sayman, 3509 Lindell Bldg, millionaire soap manufacturer, by the dog's owner, Brett Pl. Brett charges that Sayman wounded his dog while he and two others were exercising their dogs on property adjoining the Sayman home. In his petition Hunter says he snapped $300 for medical treatment for his dog, but the asseris has been bound for life. The wealthy soap manufacturer had previously denied the dog had been struck by the bullet which he said he had fired to frighten the men away. Dr. Sayman was fined $50 and the City Judge fusecus on Thursday on charges of charging firearms within the city limits. A charge of cruelty to animals against him was not-pressed.
Deserted Spouse Hangs Self in Prison Cell
Oakland, Cal., June 29.—According to the police, Lee Williams, of Palo Alto, cane to this city last week to kill his wife, Bertha, living at 1506 Fifth St., who refused to return to their home and live with him. He was shot while he was sitting after beating her severely, fired three wild shots at her. The police arrested Williams and lodged him in jail.
The following morning after his arrest he was found manging lifeless from the light bracket in his cell. The prisoner had stuffed his mouth and nostrils with cloth before looping around his neck, hastening the end of the bracket to the bracket after climbing up on top of a double deck bed.
IT ALL DEPENDS UPON THE VIEWPOINT
SUICIDE MISSES RING ON LIFE'S MERRY-GO-ROUND 1928 Session of Baptist Congress Breaks All Records
New York, June 29.—Leaving only a note to her mother in which she said she was tired of life, which she likened to a merry-go-round, Miss Mildred Smith, 23, laundry worker, 6445 Lenox Ave, committed suicide. Her body was recovered from the East river at 136th St. by police last Friday. Miss Smith disappeared from her home last Saturday. The letter which she left to her mother, Mrs. Seyc Dennison, of the same address, says: "Don't worry about me, because I shall be all right. I have only gone over to the other side. I am afraid to be unaware of suicide, those who are afraid of life and its trials. But I am tired of it now, and it's too late to readjust myself to my niche in the world. "To me, life is like a merry-go-round to a boy who has only one nickel. He spends his nickel for the ride, intending to grasp the little ring as he rides, which will entitle him to another ride. He misses the ride into the second ride. "My nickel was my start, the ring my opportunity to better myself in life, and I lost the satisfaction of living a life of duty to mankind, a life of which others could be proud, and not ashamed. "I had my opportunity before me and I did not grasp it. So, rather than face an empty life, I ofteed to go to another and no joy, I prefer to go to another. "I have always wondered whence we came and whither we go at death. I now go to find out.
"I have caused you nothing but
hate. This one will be the
last. Bye-ye-ye."

Milwaukee, Wis., June 29.—(Special)—Nearly every one of the 10,000 seats in the City auditorium, Cedar and Sixth Sts., were occupied Sunday by delegates and spectators to the 23d annual session of the National Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. congress as the five-day convention came to a close with a brilliant sermon delivered by Rev. W. H. Jernagin, president of the body. The celebrant of
the body. The celebrant of the services was Rev E. W. D. Isaac, founder of the congress and director general.
As persons from all over the country found their way into the spacious hall, they learned a way to his emotions. To film the gathering was a magnificent monument, the result of 24 years of strenuous efforts.
On the platform directly behind a row of prominent ministers were seated a chorus of ministers, which was led by Proof E. W. D. Isaac Jr., musical director.
Prior to the main services Sunday morning, a model Sunday school was conducted by the superintendent's department, Charles M. Robertson acted as leader. In the afternoon Rev B. P. McWilliams, president of the church, delivered an address. Following these exercises, a model B. Y. P. F. was conducted by William R. Williams.
Messengers of Goodwill
Aside from the fact that over 4,000,000 people of the Baptist faith were represented in the greatest religious school of its kind in the world, the fact that the Mt. Zion Baptist Milwaukee has done more to bring about a better feeling between the races than any other factor in the history of the city. That is the opinion of Rev. Fountain Wright Penckle, church, which was host to the congress.
There has been no city to greet the delegates with such a hearty and wholesome welcome as Milwaukee White people, the finest families in the city, of the leading hotels, opened their doors to the visiting delegates.
According to J. Harvey Kerns, sec-
(Special)—Nearly every one of editorium, Cedar and Sixth Sts., gates and spectators to the 23d Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. ent came to a close with a rev. W. H. Jernagin, president of the retary of the local Urban league and head of the housing committee for the conference, the white hotel men's association agreed to make special rates to the delegates upon the announcements of their work; the workmen to host to the visitors, Kearns said, and over 250 answered the call.
Local Citizens Aid
Beside the Urban league worker a number of citizens aided Rev. Penekin in entertaining the delegation. He directed the W. V. Penekin, wife of the clergyman; Rev. R. L. Mathews, Rev. S. J. Williams, Mrs. M. E. Saunders, Rev. H. L. Abel, Mrs. K. M. Henderson, Rev. W. R. Hooks, Mrs. Vadie Chancellor, Mrs. Sidney Lovelace, J. Anthony Josey and Mrs. Rosa Williams. During the convention instructive exercises were carried on by the various departments of the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U., Superintendents were told how to build up their schools; teachers were shown how to interest their pupils; music directors were given new formatting; Exhibits of ideal cradle roll departments were displayed.
To make better Sunday schools and young people's unions is the primary purpose of the annual convention. While there were over 2.000 delegates in this year the number of attendees this year was slightly lower than at the last congress. Regular parliamentary procedure was forgotten on Thursday and with the standing of the large delegation the entire administrative board was re-elected. The officers are Dr. Jernagin, president of finance director general; Dr. A. M. Tivorsen, asso-

Jailed Again as Woman Alters Story
Columbia, S. C., June 29. The doors of the state penitentiary closed again last Thursday on Ben Bess when he was returned here after a Florence county grand jury found him guilty of criminal assault. The prisoner, once an independent farmer of Florence county, was recently released from the prison, where he had served 13 years of a 30-year sentence for an alleged attack on a woman. The woman, thinking that she was about to die, signed an affidavit stating that she had been intimate with Bess and that she had falsely accused him in order that she and her husband, who were tenant farmers of Bess, and that she had been accused. While various organizations were setting in motion plans to aid Bess get a new start in life, the grand jury last Thursday voted the affidavit had been fraudulently secured. Despite the known character of the woman and the fact that she gave startling facts and confession, the grand jury readily accepted the new statement, which placed Bess back within prison walls.
Woman Can't Read
She declared that the statement which released Bess was presented for her signature with the impression that she was a statement for forgiving him. She is not to read, to ask, asking each other what can the courts and justice do in such instances of gross stupidity and "southern chivalry to save its women whatever may be the case." In the second affidavit, the woman said, in part: "I have not at any time signed any paper to release Ben Bess from the penitentiary. I did sign a paper saying that I forgave him for the wrong one me, or that is what I thought I should be doing and that is how I understood the paper when it was read to me in the probate judge's office."
The ailidavit reiterated that Bess was "gullity of the charge."
It is said the full pardon signed by Governor Richards, however, will hold and that Bess cannot be tried again because of dual jeopardy. A detective has a warrant for Fess, who assaults and battery with intent to kill. He is caused of attacking a fellow prisoner with a knife.
Bess Served 13 Years
Bess is about 50 years old as he says he was born in 1876. Bess has only a slight touch of gray in his black hair. He said that it was 13 years ago last Wednesday that he began serving the sentence for which he was convicted in Florence in 1915 and that he wrote the story printed in a dedicated that Bess and the white woman had been on friendly terms for many years prior to her charge against him. He was a wealthy farmer and the woman's husband sought to purchase his property, but Bess refused to sell. Shortly after this proposal was made Bess was charged with criminally assaulting the judge, now dead, expressed grave damage to his boss, but the charge had evoked threats of lynching and the sentence followed. Bess' farm was later selzed and went into white hands.
Some believe that the state would be sued by Bess, for illegal imprisonment, and the woman was made to change her story to "muddle the case up." Lawyers point to the fact that weeks of perjury by the woman and no attempt was made to have her change her story until Bess indicated he would sue for salary while incarcerated and name the woman as the "instrument of the state."
Brick Contractor Found
Kansas City, Mo., June 23. — The body of Percy Allen, prosperous brick contractor, living at 1415 A Paseo, was found last Sunday lying behind bushes near the north east reservoir just off Cliff drive with in the chest and another in the head. The man, the contractor was shot first in the chest and as he lay on the ground another bullet was fired through his head at close range. The contractor, who had handled a number of general contractors, was the victim of enemies. Last year he fought off a labor organizer who sought to stop him and his brick masons from working on a job. The organizer returned with a number of whites, who were men engaged in a general fight. Police reserves quelled the battle.

Nab Men Who Slew Dying Prisoner
Houston, Tex., June 29.—With 600 newspaper reporters and representatives in this city observing the South's attitude toward lynching, Houston in indicting seven white men for the brutal murder of Robert Powell last week has made the most significant gesture of this section of the country against lynch law.
Immediately following the seizing of Powell by the Jefferson Davis hospital and the hangings of his brother from a bridge outside the city limits so as not to bring disrace on the city during the national Democratic convention meeting here, the hue and city wear up that the reputation of "Democracy" was at stake and for the first time in the history of Texas a determined effort was made to bring to arrest those guilty of murder.
Mobbist Confesses
A special grand jury which was called shortly after the finding of the victim's body Friday returned first degree indictments against the following known mobbists: John Kent, 2; Robert B. Ham, 24; P. T. Shuck, 32; Howard Minton, T. J. Reese, Allen Kent and A. B. Wheeler. The entire heads of the municipal departments were present last Thursday when Wheeler, after his arrest, signed a complete confession of his part in the lynchings of John Kent and P. T. Shuck against his partners in the crime. In order to get the leaders of the mob the night chief of police and a detective captain arrested T. J. Reese at Baptist hospital, where he worked. The lyncher, not satisfied with his confession, apprehended him and had been in a fight and was cut in the back. He had to be given hospital treatment before he could be brought to police headquarters for questioning. "Slim" Kent was arrested as he left a San Jacinto St. st. clinic apprehended in Eastwood. Oldham had been in a fight and was cut in the back. He had to be given hospital treatment before he could be brought to police headquarters for questioning. "Slim" Kent was arrested as he left a San Jacinto St. st. clinic apprehended in Eastwood. Oldham had been in a fight and was cut in the back. He had to be given hospital treatment before he could be brought to police headquarters when he learnt that he had been ordered arrested. Minton was arrested near Crockett Friday morning by two Houston detectives sent out on his trail. Many citizens of the city, this same speed would have been shown not the city been "disgraced before the Democratic convention."
Wheeler and his associates in the crime also face indictments charging murder by "hitting with a blunt pistol" against him, and nesses called before the special grand jury were Jesse McCarter, hospital attendant, who stated that uniformed men took part in the slaying of Powell, and Misses Florence Rochan and Lydia Branch, nurses at (Continued on Page 2)
MAN SWALLOWS PORK CHOP BONE; DOCTOR BAFFLED
MAN SWALLOWS PORK CHOP BONE; DOCTOR BAFFLED
New York, June 23.—Cobblestones, the bone of motorists, triumphed over medical science Friday after John Finan, 58, 141 Edgecouche Ave. swallowed a piece of bone and nearly choked to death. The bone, which an ambulance doctor could not reach, was dislodged from Finan's throat while he was being rushed in an ambulance over a street paved with cobblestones. Finan was contentedly in a pork chop in a restaurant at 225 River St. Hoboken. A sharp piece of bone stuck in his throat. Customers ran to Finan's aid. Some patted him on the back. One ran over to the back. Another called Dr. Eugene Kieley St. Mary's hospital. But the bone stuck. When Dr. Kieley arrived, he poked and prodded with long handled instruments, but the bone stuck. He scratched his head in perplexity for a moment, and then ordered that he be taken to the hospital. The ambulance rushed to the ambulance from medical school, then his own ideas about throat surgery. Perhaps he had driven an ambulance in France during the war, anyway, he drove the ambulance over the roughest streets he knew. The ambulance hurled and swayed over arms, trotts tracks and cobblestones. After what seemed an eternity to Finan, the ambulance arrived at the hospital and he was taken to the accident ward. Nurses and doctors busted around. Finan coughed, then he swallowed. He clutched his throat and sneezed. He even took another drink of water. He felt nothing. He told Dr. Kieley he felt fine. The bone had disarmed.

W. F. ROBINSON,
OLD OHIOAN,
PASSES AWAY
Came to Oberlin as
Escaped Slave
Oberlin, Ohio, June 29. — William Fleming Robinson Sr. 96, possibly the oldest citizen in Oberlin, passed away Thursday. For 37 years he has lived here, having come from Kentucky, where he was a slave, by the underground railroad. Thus obtaining his emancipation, he set out to improve himself. Having been taught secretly to read by his young mistress in Kentucky, his yearning to better prepare himself found him doing night school studying in Oberlin while seeking a livelihood. Thus he obtained a fair education and caught the vision of its worth.
Remarkable Character
Born in Mayslick, Ky., in 1852 and spending nearly a quarter of a century here, he came here in 1855, where the very atmosphere and friendly environment combined to make the man whose life for nearly three-quarters of a century was an exemplary light to all of the 5,000 or more citizens of this conservative college town. His same philosophy of life was accepted to and sought by his older brother, the college president, professors and other citizens in every walk of life were his intimate friends and acquaintances. Rev. Dr. Vander Pyl, his pastor, in the brief funeral services, said that he, Mr. Robinson, had such a forgiving spirit for he forged many of his hardships in the early days as a slave, and that with all these he was a friend, a guide and a father of unusual ability. He said further that Mr. Robinson got so much out of life because he put the sweetness of life into his very relationship of man with man. That his kind and integrity made him a remarkable man with a remarkable character.
Typical Family
Mr. Robinson, married Miss Nora Jane Newell of Oberlin, Dec. 1, 1854. To this union ten children were born: Frankle, William F. Jr., James, Harry, John, Nell (now Mrs. Herman Minton (deceased), Edward, Grace, H. Mrs. D. Grace, deceased, and Howard, who is director of the department of industrial relations of the Chicago Urban league. This family of seven boys and three girls kept the home fires burning in annual reunions. Twenty-two years ago the house passed away. Frankle, the oldest of the family, was as a teacher, took charge of the home and for all these years, gave an ungrudging, unstinted and individual service to her father in particular and to the family unit in general. The dine principle of "Honor thy father, and serve thy father" plified than in the way that Frankle looked after her father. The other children followed in a large way the precept—Teach a child the way he should go, etc., and rendered their several parts in making home what should be for their widowed father. It was 15 of whom were present at the funeral, nine great-grandchildren also survive—eight of whom were present, also, at the last rites.
Plan to Tc: Texas
El Paso, Texas, June 23.—(Special)—Legality of the action of the state Democratic executive committee restricting the ballot in the Democratic nominee for the state he tested by the local law firm of Knollenberg & Camerson. A citizen not classified by the ruling will be sent to the polls by the law firm to vote July 28, and if the ballot is refused, the case will be carried to the supreme court.

Baptists Asked to Change Rules of Church Conduct
---
of God on earth, than by showing forth a true spirit of Christian brotherhood in all of our human contacts, your committee on interracial relationships recommends:
For Brotherhood
1. That the churches comprising the Northern Baptist convention be urged to engage actively in the cultivation of Christian comradeship with other races, and that during this year a special effort be made by our churches to attract and win to Christ and to the church the foreigners in our midst, especially those of the second and third generation who speak our language.
2. That the Baptists of the Northern Baptist convention adopt as our unvarying rule the giving to all races equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunities for advancement and happiness.
3. That through the department of religious education our churches be taught the facts as to how interracial fellowships transcend racial lines in community literature, science, sports missions, and our churches a greater emphasis be given to the teaching of a spirit of world friendship.
4. That as followers of Jesus Christ, we strive to understand that no race is in reality doomed to inferiority, but that we seek to recognize the divine image in whatever color or race it may be incarnated, and that we respect and cultivate good qualities of every race and tribe and tongue.
5. That, since racial antipathy is not inborn or innate, but inherited and communicated, all Christians should it be to their inescapable duty to avoid by word or example passing on to the younger generations the racial hatreds inherited from the past or acquired in the present.
6. That as citizens of a so-called Christian nation, we adopt in place of a spurious and egotistical nationalism which breeds race hatreds and resultant wars, an all-inclusive humanism—a positive and passionate desire to co-operate with all races for a world uplift and universal peace.
7. That we should strive to think of each other as an instrument in the great symphony of humanity.
Detroit, Mich., June 29.-The report submitted by the committee on interracial relationship to the Northern Baptist convention, which won the award, felt carry the most vital import of any made during the session. The recommendations to that body, numbering more than 2,000 high churchmen from the free-green movement received, and from indications will carry a wide and effective influence on future church policies. Dr. Elbert W. Moore, pastor of the Second Missionary Baptist church, said that he was a member of the committee making this report who was not white. The report reads as follows:
THE REPORT
It is evident that in the area of human experiences embraced by the words "Interracial Relationships," which form the title of this committee, are to be found the most vital and important problems which confront the world today. The future progress of humanity, the happiness of individuals as well as the well-being of cities and nations, and even the very continuance of civilization itself, depend upon the proper solution of the difficulties which have placed in the place of interracial contacts. In racial prejudices and
title of this committee, are to be found in the vital and important problems which confront the world today. The future progress of humanity, the happiness of life in dults well as the well-being of states and nations, and even the very continuance of civilization itself, depend upon the proper solution of the difficult which have their roots in this plane of interracial contacts. In racial prejudices and false nationalism are to be found the sources of such curses of the human race as wars, oppression and the civilizations by the stronger races of the weaker.
Dr. E. Moore
The importance of racial distinctions is not to be lightly cast aside in the world's attempt to solve race problems, nor should the unique value of the individual be coercively reduced to the racial difference he allowed to shut us off from the humanity that is in every man. Neither should it be forgotten in all our thought about interracial relations that the difference between the races does not blot out the fundamental differences between individuals divinely intended to minister to the fulfilment of a common universal human development.
Seek One Father
In only one direction can light be seen or hope be found for the solution of these formidable problems which arise from interracial friction. Only in the teachings of Jesus Christ and in the common Fatherhood of God and man which He reveals, is there a remedy for interracial relationships. In interracial relationships resolve themselves in the last issue into ethical problems and can only be solved by men having the mind that is in Christ Jesus. It is the province of the Christian churches to exemplify that mind and to find the way of life in accordance with the teachings of Jesus through which interracial relationships can be formed, and in earth which we believe they are to have in heaven in the presence of that God who is "Our Father" to all the races of mankind.
Recognizing therefore that unChristian attitudes have failed to incorporate in private life, in church activities and in national attitudes the spirit of Him who died to save not just the world, but "nor more or less" but the whole world; and Confessing that this lack of embodying the Christ spirit by so-called Christians has been the most terrible hindrance to the work of missions in the evangelization of the world; and Believing that the churches which constitute our Northern Baptist convention, and which are trying as best they can to reach the hands of their Master, should take the lead in striving to bring about better relations between races, and that we, as Baptists, could give no stronger testimony of the truth and reality of Christianity, nor more quickly bring to pass the Kingdom

ROCKEFELLER AIDS WORK OF URBAN LEAGUE
To Give Conditional Donation Yearly
New York, June 29—John D. Rockefeller Jr. will give the National Urban league $4,500 a year for three years for its industrial relations department, providing a like sum is given by others. The money will be used for creating sentiment favorable to the employment of people and for generally enhancing their occupational status. The league is made up of people everywhere to give $4,500, with the intention to secure the payment of Mr. Rockefeller's donation.
In a letter just sent out by T. Arnold Hill, director of the league's industrial department, appeal is made to contribute to in the following terms:
"We should like to raise the entire $4,500 for 1928 from the people. It would be decidedly stimulating to further gifts from Mr. Rockefeller to the company, and it would be able to report that the conditions of his gift had been met by contributions from other people. In giving to this cause you would be supporting a phase of life that all thinking persons are agreed should be provided for and that there are places of employment for and insisting ideas of thoroughness and efficiency among workers—improvements which should be encouraged by financial support from the group to be supported by them."
Open New Fields
A recent bulletin on the league's industrial work states that a new office building with a P. P. Tea company, the Ford Motor company, the International Harvester company and other corporations and firms in various parts of the country. The director of the league has conducted industrial campaigns in Wisconsin, Kansas and Wisconsin.

CRIPPLED KIDS OFF ON ANNUAL OUTING PARTY
By EVANGLINE ROBERTS
Exactly at 3:37 this afternoon $1$ young passengers will board the train at Englewood station, bound for their annual outing at Twin Lakes, Ind. Outsiders noting the array of crutches, braces, wheel chairs and other aids to afflicted bodies should be able to feel just a bit better from the pumps from the schools to orphaned children or see the wonderful camp at Twin Lakes, or know the wonderful woman who has brought so much joy into the lives of the unfortunate.
Of Mrs. Florence Robinson, director and founder of the camp, pages could be written were it possible to serve to the handicapped. But it is hard to get words from those whose lives have been spent in deeds. She would rather talk of her "famility" as she calls her charges, and show her compassion on occasions throughout the years. There is the : picture of the boy who had a badly infected limb that no one else could handle so soothingly. She was a city employee, he came back regularly to Mrs. Robinson for surgical dressings. Another group of early graduates showed the dark hair of a girl close to her white classmate with the hip trouble. Behind them a bright-eyed brown boy and his smiling white pal leaned on their feet. They all held beribboned diplomas. In the center sat the proud teacher.
By persistent efforts we learn that about 25 years ago, Mrs. Robinson, a teacher at the new Fallon school for cripples, then opening at 42 Wallace St. She was not like the work she need not stay.
Makes Home for Waifs
"But I old like the work," she relates. "and I stayed."
Although now past 70 and eligible for retirement, Mrs. Robinson continues to give her invaluable services daily to pupils and teachers of her school, the Artesian Ave. For years in the early days she taught eight grades with 40 children. The puffish condition of some of her pupils made much that she finally bought a home at 3434 Vernon Ave, where she has been a ministering angel to the destitute and friendless wails, "without money and without price." The neighborhood can tell of the daily journeys of this kind soul and her queer-looking family. They have marveled at the care and patience with which she has been watering, steps to and from this haven.
About 15 years ago, with her own earnings, Mrs. Robinson bought the large tract of land at Twin Lakes. She sold it and she solicited equipment from every source she could think of. Today this camp is one of the best equipped in the country. Six modern buildings and a cottage for special cases. The most recent addition is a handsome recreation cottage erected by the late W. O. Robinson, for years presided over. The Chicago Title and Trust company holds Mrs. Robinson's will, which perpetuates this camp forever for the use of afflicted children of all ages. The ways be admitted upon an equal basis.
Seeks Endowment
Realizing that increasing age will hinder her activities, she is anxious to secure sufficient endowment to provide permanently for the annual education provided by the teachers and attendants, but does not pay for transportation and maintenance of the camp. This is left to the generosity of the community. There are about 375 children who attend the Christopher school. About 55 are dark pupils. These, of course, are the least provided for. Last month a group of interested women sent a donation for the care of some of the campers. The following is an excerpt from a letter of thanks received from Mrs. Roberts: "Your letter came just as we were changing groups, and the duties connected with sending the others home and getting these settled were so numerous and stimulating to write before. I hope you will pardon me. I know no difference. They are all God's children in need of our care and love. I will send the letters who contributed to the camp."
The second outing party leaves July 20. There is another large crowd just eager to answer the call to meet the defect shown in some cases, a committee of women is giving a public dancing party soon. Working toward her heart's desire to be a part of the community, Mrs. Robinson has succeeded in having the president of the Kiwanis club automatically become a director of the camp, as well as the three principals, the special committee becomes the co-operation of all who find joy in lending a helping hand.
WILL HONOR BUCKNER
By the first of September, detailed plans for the great Buckner celebration, the Buckner memorial committee is planning to have an elaborate ceremony, the memorial being a monument in honor of the late Major John Buckner. Word has been re-released of other notable citizens that they will take part in the program.

It is discounted because a distinction about it. Any-fail. It takes skill, courage, and traits because they bring a satisfaction than chumskiness and lack of ability.

Some of the most common important reasons why new conditions is also a common cause for failure. We live in a dynamic world where it is necessary to cause it reacts unfavorably to self-esteem. It takes real intelligence to see through a situation, to go around a problem and, if there is no other way to understand the threat.
You can't succeed if you expect failure. Whatever is on the mind of yourself out of a action, lack of confidence complex play into the hands of failure.

Failure means missing the mark. We dislike to fall for the same reason that we like to succeed. It is hard to take because it reacts unfavorably upon our self-esteem. We lose ease in our own eyes and in the eyes of our fellows. It is discounted because there is no distinction about it. Anybody can fail. It takes skill, courage and ability to succeed. We admire these traits because they bring us success, cowardice and lack of ability. There is no end to reasons why we fail. Moreover, there is failure and failure. Not all failure is equally serious or discouraging. All types of failure are possible. We try to avoid them as much as possible. Some of the more common and important reasons why most of us fail may be set down as possible. Undertaking projects that are beyond our ability. If I should try to write a symphony or fly to the moon I would fail because both of these are entirely out of my ability and we tell us our line until we try. But the fact remains that a lot of failure is due to overreaching ourselves.

"HOOVER WILL WIN," STATES PERRY HOWARD
Foresees Republican Victory at Polls
Washington, June 29—The Hoover-Curtis ticket will sweep the country in November. That is the prediction of Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, who returned from Kansas City last Tuesday night in order to be here for the meeting of the special committee of the national committee that conferred with Hoover and Curtis Thursday.
Mr. Howard described the Kansas City convention as one of the greatest in the history of the Republican party, he declared, "that there was a Hoover machine and it was lily white. This is emphatically deny. This is not deny." The Mississippi delegation, one-half of which was white, lily white. South Carolina, with one-half white, was not denying the Tenth congressional district of Tennessee, was recognized. The Florida delegation was not all white, and one other from outlaws were recognized.
"From the point of law there was no merit in the contest from Texas to Donald, for the reason that the Texas laws, as emphasized by an opinion by the attorney general of that state, provide that all delegates to the convention. The McDonald-Wurzbach delegation was elected in districts. The Hoover people played a major role in the convention. I shall take the stage and defend Mr. Hoover without equivocation, on the charge of lily-witness attributed to his friends. There has been a number of Hoover and Curtis, Mr. Hoover has taken a more forward step than any cabinet officer in abolishing secretaries affecting all citizens, even in peace times as well as in war. Perhaps it is telling things out of context, to know that this great mind heard the cry of Cohen and the word went from Washington to Kansas City that regardless of regularity Cohen would not be turned out of the convention.
Stood by "Machine"
"Our Mississippi organization was a Hoover organization. It was one of the few organizations we were standing with the Hoover line-up first, last and always. We have no apologies to make for our work in the contests. We feel the overt case was decided upon the merits. "Organization means organization. "Organization means organization. Secretary of the Interior Work, Claudius H. H. Houston, Representative James W. Good, Judge Rush L. Holt, Secretary of the Interior Work, E.

Why risk it—when
NO ONE—who realizes how of fessive perspiration odor is—would ever be guilty of this unparadonable social fault—knowingly!
But the trouble is—we don't always know. We ourselves become so accustomed to the odor of our own perspiration that we can't detect it. Only others notice the unpleasantness about us.
Perspiration kept odorless
At times we may not seem to perspire at all—yet that doesn't mean we're safe. For even on a cool day our pores give off as much as a quart of odor-causing waste.

KENTUCKY TO ELECTROCUTE 7 ON JULY 13
Convicted Men Guilty of 9 Murders
Lexington, Ky., June 29.—Friday, July 13, will witness the execution of seven murderers in the state penten-tary at Eddyville. Never have so many been executed in a single day in this state.
Gov. Sampson has signed the death warrants. The electrocutions probably will take place just after midnight.
The condemned men, who had killed nine persons, are Milford Lawson, Orlando Seymour, Hasque Dockery, Charles P. Mitra, James Howard, Clarence McQueen and William Moore. The men are all white except two, Howard and McQueen. Dockery, a mountaineer from Harlan county, killed the three. It was the outstanding crime of the cases which brought the death sentences.
Dockery and his wife were estranged and late one night Dockery went to the hospital to be tempat at reconciliation. His wife declined his advances. Mrs. Elizabeth Howard, visiting at the house, entered the room, and Dockery, who is a nurse, was present for his wife, shot her dead. Mrs. Jenkins, awakened by the shot, was next to appear, and Dockery then killed her. He apparently waited for Jenkins, who was on his way home from the hospital, and killed on his arrival. Then, it is claimed, Dockery finally found his wife and begged her to go away with him, but she refused. He then feel scared and escaped in the hills after a long chase. The other men named to die killed men. Gov. Sampson, in signing the death warrants, made public a proclamation, which he requested read in every workhouse in the state once a week until the men are electrocuted.

Advice to the W

Dear Princess: Your weekly advice to others has been of such help to me in my life that I am now a social advice. I know that you can help me in this affair, I am a young man, I go back to school last fall to take up college work, but my parents, feeling stated on my not going back to college, staying home and working to pay back all the debt, I worked all last fall and winter and gave them all I made. I desire to enter another year. Now, Princess, I am perfectly willing to help at home, but I am independent, living have plenty of everything around us that shows material progress, I try to show my parents how to work them in every way after I finish college, but they seem to think they have realize that there are many who are not fortunate enough to get a high not stop here. I want to top my class of best trained men and women of the fall and winter, save my money and enter some good school next fall. Now I am disbelieved to my parents. I just want you to tell me if I am right or wrong, and complete my education."
At this particular season of every year, we are many young and a wonderful group, more comprehensive training in some intellectual line is of importance or not. School questions is, "What must I do?" In so many instances it is impossible for my little friend says has been a year of hard work, sacrifice and struggle—but the realization that the more education one receives gives rise to the setting of a limitless goal, which can only be retained by mental training. Parents are not perfect. They too, can be inexcessively anxious about their parents' insult independence in their offspring's minds—force them to realize appreciation from birth—but to lay out an expense account for what they own is, to say the least, very unjust. I am proud to know that you wish to a desire to reach great heights undoubtedly bring success. I advise you to one purpose in mind—to finish in school and be someone. The work that you help your people, but you cannot make a canary bird out of a sparrow.

Suggestions
It is berry time once more and it is next to impossible to keep from getting over it. You need to cook. Moisten cornmeal with vinegar and rub this on the fruit stains on it. It will usually remove all signs of stains. With so much heat we eat our pet pichers are apt to become a little distressed and water will also cause these dark stains. Let milk a stand in it until it sours. When washed the pitcher will look like Kneen. At this time when the summer fruits are just beginning to appear in market it might be well to remind the housekeeper to remove fruit stains from the table linen. Apply before sending to the store beautifully white. When riding in a friend's car I notched a couple of spring clothing stipes over the front seat. My hostess told me they use these to hold cans or hats that are too big and no one need hold the hats, nor are they kicked around on the floor, forgotten.

BEAUTY'S GREATEST CHARM FOUND
LOS ANGELES, CAL.—Whether angelic and dark, or tall and of the coloring gentlemen prefer, a woman's chief charm is a smooth skin, say the leading film directors. Stars of widely varying types all have in common this one quality of a flawless skin. Carl Laemmle, Jr., Universal director, says, "There's amazing allure in beautiful, smooth skin—'studio skin'—it's the one up is no help under Klieg lights in a close-up, the skin must be exquisite."
Nine out of ten stars in Hollywood are using Lux Toilet Soap for their priceless skin. This new soap is made by the renowned makeup artist, placed in her dressing rooms as the official soap—an interesting evidence of how important the industry considers smooth skin. Lux Toilet Soap is manufactured by Lever Bros. Co., Cambridge, Massachusetts.

SILAS GREEN SHOW
At this evening we have left the dear old state of California where the Silas Green show did capacity business at every stand and we have been a favorable, or was favorable.
One of our last stands was at Statesville, where we have our friend, Chattum, who has been spending his winter in Phla. for the past few years and getting in the time limit for the imposition.
very businessless and angry and stand
everywhere, where the weather
was favorable.
One of our last
season's
Statesville, where
we met our old
friend, Chattman,
who has been
spending his
leisure, Miami,
Pla, for the past
few years and
getting in the
lime light for his
self-heating comb and curling iron.
He at present has charge of the big
"199" club in Statesville, and also
supports the drug stores with his
special Chattman team. We have
the bunch the time of their lives.
At Hickory, N. C., the Silas Glass show did capacity business. The house was decorated with a L. Hilton, a monologuet and musician, who is at home taking a needed rest, but will soon resume work. At Heldsville, N. C., the bunch had the playful task of under the management of Mr. Scales of Winston-Salem, N. C., of which Freddie Pratt is traveling representatives of their operat. the night before on the stage. There were two blocks long which could not gain admittance. The theater is one of the most modern I have ever seen in the class pictures and vaudeville will be the policy. One of Irvin Miller's shows is playing there at the present time. At Charlottesville, Va., we were met at the bill posting plant and manages the bill posting plant there. Lunch was arranged for Culler-Looks and myself at his beautiful new home just completed. At the theater, Dr. O. D. Durant, a re-
nt graduate of McMerry, At Cragsallie, Va. we had the pleasure of meeting Oliver's Exposition shows. H. W. Hattle has charge of the Planation show, which is doing top business in the country, many consists of 19 people. James Hilton is expected to join the aggregation soon.
Revolutionizing the Show Biz
At Alexandra, Va., we played to a well filled house, but not the turn away business that we generally do on account of the threatening weather in Washington. There were no witnesses to the performance. Plo Russell, a former member and as bright a star as ever with the Silas Green show, who was Washington's "boots" to Washington, also the "king of Lira," also Sammie Graham, another old member of the Silas Green show, who was Washington's manager of the Howard theater in Washington, were among the visitors. And there was jubilee Washington for performers and who at one time had the reputation of carrying the best show over the T. O. Wilson show for performers, one of the best singles that graced anybody's stage, and several others. It was the intention of several members of the Silas Green show to immediately after the show in Manassas, Va., Saturday night, several of us meted to Washington on route we had to cancel the trip. We had to cancel the trip. I spent the entire time in the hotel at the home of S. D. Budley, one of our musicians done for my pleasure. Charles Collier Johnson Books, Miss Collier and several out of town guests were entered into the party. I headed to the show from party and to see a Vitaphone performance. Little dreaming that an instrument could ever be so perfect, the orchestra appeared on the picture screen, every nose. Dreaming could be seen and every instrument heard disappeared to drop his hands and the sound was as plain as day. Next came Sissie and Blake, international stars who became famous in "shuffle" difference in their performance on the screen compared to that on the stage. I was perfectly satisfied that the performance was modern amusement, however some one advised me to see all that I could
Washington in the few hours I had to spend there and I decided to see the Movietone and the Girl in the cage. "It was great, the only difference is that the Vitaphone is a reproduction of acts just as they are on the stage, while the Movietone is a regular moving picture whereby the girl is illuminated, while the punch lines are spoken by the machine. Within the next five years the "still" pictures will be a thing of the past—The Movietone and the phone are here to stay. Revolutionization of the show business has arrived.
With the Bunch
Johnson Rooks and Lonnie Fisher, the producer of this season's show, "Hits and Bits," motored to New York to produce the drone for the comedy season's production, which is expected to go into rehearsal within the next few weeks. There are nine sets and they are the most difficult this writer has ever mapped.
BOWMAN'S COTTON BLOSSOMS
Ehner Bowman and his Cotton Blossoms played to great business last week at the Lincoln theater. Baltimore, Md. Little Wilmer Allen is back on the show and cutting up as usual. Mahl will reach the gang week at the 28th at the Hipp theater, Richmond, Va.
Just a blanket and bad
In a tumble down shad,
And that the little jacksonse laughter:
Add a knothole or two,
Where the moonbeams peep through
At the mice playing tag on the ratter;
A cob pipa and a dog,
With its aesop log
On the greate lights the shack with its gleaming,
And a smoke-haze of blue,
That the mind wanders through
To the magical land of its dreaming.
And a statue
Pork and beans for my fare;
Set an dry goods box for a table,
And from there let me sup
A full golden-brown cup
Of sugar to self enjoy its label.
Up with chanticleer's song,
Though the hours be long.
And I work till the sun's opal sinking—
I would rather have these,
And as one concludes
Than the wealth of a king, I am thinking.
For a kingdom and crown,
Long-sought wealth and renown
Are the things that are seldom worth craving.
How much wealth?
And the things that are best
Are the treasures acquired from love's saving.

Why have the managers and theatrical owners organized? For their mutual benefit and protection. Then why should not we performers organize for the same reasons and purposes. An organization that will promote the welfare and protect the interests of our artists will also help to promote the profession and protect the interests of all honest managers, producers and promoters.
Our theater owners and managers have the Theatrical Owners Booking association, the National Tactical Managers Protective league, the Majestic Theater Circuit, inc., and there is yet another organization that will control the organization, extending from New York city to St. Louis, Mo. If the need for organization is so urgent with managers, then what must be the need of those who furnish the entertainment for these energetic, keen-sighted managers?

mention of organizing our artists for their music protection is the signal for sneers, ridicule and laughed doubt our ability to effect such an organization who oppose the organization need to do is a task that requires a lot of effort and almost before its conception. Are we without interest, morons, filibusters and nincopops? Are each of obsequious puppets, scorned, bullied, doomed without making an effort to take our rightful ourselves as a forceful body of intelligent artists, officially opposed to a "film Crow" organization of artists should forever dispense with the word "Cold" to the names of our organizations.

"Blackbirds of 1928"
Low Leslie's "Blackbird choir" show must be written in the records of the theatrical history as one of Broadway's most prolific reliclicking enlargement to its hilarious apotheosis, the dull moments have no opportunity to mar the beauty or impede the progress of this swift moving vehicle. Also from beginning to end, throughout the period of 1928, the crutinship with the creative and constructive genius of Mr. Low Leslie are unmistakably evident.
Cecil Mack's "Blackbird choir is a welcome and highly entertaining suburban group," the welcome appearance in so many of our reviews. The "Cull of the Souls" beautiful scene and its chirm is greatly enhanced by the sweet singing of the Blackbird choir. "Shuffle Your Feet" is an admonition to which Ruth Mack and Ann of the Blackbird chorus give due heed. The audience enlisted the ammunition of "Blackbirds" were persuaded to shuffle their feet through several encounters.
"Discus" unasked Alain Ward upon the scene and she quietly captivated the audience with her sweet singing. Jemima Stroll is a happy dancing concert, well executed by Crawford Jack.
Lew Leslie's "Blackbird" show must be written in the records of theatrical history as one of Broadway's most entertaining revues. From its rollicking embarkation to its hilarious apotheosis, the dull moments have no opportunity to mar the beauty or impede the progress of this swift and charming show throughout the period of its animation, the master craftsmanship, the creative and constructive genius of Mr. Lew Leslie are unmistakably evident.
Cecil Mack's Blackbird choir is a welcome and highly entertaining substitute for the "dull moments" that surprise their anewborn appearance in so many of our revues. The "Call of the South" is an intrametrically beautiful scene and its charm is greatly enhanced by the sweet singing of the Blackbird choir. "Shuffle Your Feet" is an admonition to which Ruth Johnson, Marjorie Humbard and the Blackbird chorus give due heed. The Aunt Jemima song is an exhortation and the "Blackbirds" were persuaded to shuffle their feet through several encoces.
"Divie" ushered Alda Ward upon the scene and she quickly captivated the audience with her sweet voice and charming personality. The Aunt Jemima song was an exhortation and the "Blackbirds" were persuaded to shuffle their feet through several encoces.

"Bear Cat Jones' Last Fight" is down to the times in that it is a bloodless affray, quite as thrilling and vastly more amusing than the majority of the present-day prizefights. Jim Moore, in his own imitative way, keeps the audience engaged with laughter while George Cooper, Lloyd Mitchell, Martine McCarthy, and McCarthy, Shorty Lucens and Elise Uggams contribute to his support.
"I Can't Give You Anything But Love" is the song hit of the show and is excellently rendered by Alda Ward and Chester Jones, assisted by Adelinde Hunt. What a night, a comedy hit by Michel Cooper, Moore-turned Elizabeth Hunt, and Michael Holliday, by Holliday, Holliday, Holliday, by Holliday, Johnson, Jackson and chorus went over big. According to Hoyle, gave Tim Moore another chance to successfully operate upon the ribles of his audience. Three Bad Men from Harlem, and then "The Porgy" feature Joseph Attles, George Cooper, Philip Patterson, Willard McLean, James Strange, Clement Hall, Ellizeth Welsh, Malcolle Staples, Elsie Uggams, Burke Jackson, Margaret Rhodes and Rosie White. "Porgy" is at the Republic theater. As conceived by Lew Leslie and Cecil Mack it is one of the most daring, sensational and fascinating finishes ever offered in a musical comedy-presentation. W. C. Handy's masterpiece, "The St. Louis Choir," features the choir singles, shouts, moans and grouns in accompaniment. It is a Willody arrangement and this master of harmonies is at his best.
The second act opened amplyly with "Magnolia's Wedding Day," featuring Tim Moore, Aida Ward, Blue McAllister and Mantan Moreland. Earl Tucker, commonly known as "Snake Hips," stopped the show with his conception of the "low-down dance." "Picking a Flor," was another comedy act, and the audience was cheered by Bill Bojangles Robinson and the Blackied chorus. When Earl Tucker stopped the show we found ourselves wondering what would Bojangles do. He did it. He locked the show up and put it in the amusement vault. The show would have ended right there had he not given those who were scheduled to follow the right combination. "Getting Married," another comedy act, was scheduled to follow the right combination. "That Man," Adelide Hall is at her best. Wilson Crawley and his low-down chairset are a pair of handsets. After Bojangles had locked the amusement vault they blew off the door of the safe and escaped with a large armful of the show. But the audience enjoyed the handistry. Several demonstrations were demanded before the audience was satisfied. "Here Comes My Girl," a popular musical was a proper finale to a wonderful evening's entertainment. Visitors to New York city can afford to miss Lessie Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1925."

Our Urgent Need
expands our scope and often maze the victims or purpose of our work. We are more focused on the unspurious. We are powerless to protect ourselves. Why? Because we lack organization. It is left with us whether or not these deplorable conditions help; whether or not we will continue to grope for them; whether or not we will organize; concentrate our efforts and co-operate to obtain that high standing in the theatrical profession to which our talents entitle us. It is not our purpose to oppose or to interfere with the conduct of any other theatrical organization. All honest, square-dealing managers, producers and promoters will be benefited by our organization. At the present time there is no organization that effectively meets our needs. We must wait upon assistance that is a nebulous future possibility. Our need is at hand; it is obvious to all who deserve; it is harassing us; it is impeding our progress at every turn. Now is the time for organization and co-operation will help us to administer to that need.

Josephine Baker's New Role as Movie Star Is Successful
Paris, France.-Josephine Baker, in tantrums, insisting that he will see the celebrated "Black Venus," has entered the movies and is meeting with splendid success. A film in which Denise shall never marry Berval. However he receives a telephone call from the music hall man that puts him into another Blvd. for the last month, and still the place is crowded day and night. The film is entitled "The Sire of Ten," the pardon of the marchioness and agrees to the marriage.
The film is entitled "The Siren of the Tropics" and is written by Maurice Bekoab, France's most popular author of the novel. The play is concerned it is rather conventional, being the old story of the native girl who falls into hopelessness with a white. But apart from this, it has touches of splendid originality.
The story runs something like this: The Marquis of Severo, bon vivant, sportsman and the proprietor of much and in the West indies wishes to divorce Denise, his adopted daughter. The murchisoness, who loves her husband, refuses to consent to the divorce, and in order to convince her husband that she is not the right person, he reveals that Denise is already in love with a young engineer in the service of the marquis. The marquis, who lives in Paris, sends for the engineer, Andre Berval, and pretending to agree to the marriage, tells Berval that before he marries Denise he must do something to disguise his identity to the West Indies to prospect for minerals on his property. Whatever valuable minerals are found Anne will receive his share. With his fortune thus assured,
The marquis decides, however, that Berval must never return to France, and at once dispatches a letter to Alvarez, his maître, suggesting to him that it would not be displeasing to him if Berval never returns. Berval goes to the West Indies and as it develops he soon finds himself in a row with Alvarez over Papillon (Josephine Baker), Papitan, a French Negro woman, is a gay young girl, full of life and little mischief. She destines Alvarez with his caveman style of wooing. She decides to take a swim in a stream Alvarez arrives on the scene and attacks her. Berval, however, lights him off to the intense gratitude of the young woman. That woman, Alvarez arrives on the scene and takes the hand of Berval asks him to let byones he byones. Alvarez, however, is burnt out and decides to carry out the wishes of the marquis the next day. Alvarez in the meanwhile has discovered gold on the property and has decided to get rid of the young engineer. He fears that the latter might discover his mine, and the next day starts out Berval, accompanied by two natives.
In the meantime, back in Paris, the marquis begins to force his attention on this monster, never return. Becoming suspicious, she tells the marcinesses, who at once decides to start for her, in much distaste, unknown to the marquis Dense. Back again in the Antilles, Puntious, who shows every sign of love of Beral in much distaste, cuts out Beral, and taking a short cut out the mountains arrives at the spot where four riders, a yellow mountain, four riders, a white mountain, another is a swinging bridge of light material and Alvarez, pointing to it, says that one must cross it to get it, that smoke that can be seen, that Beral willingly sets off, but Alvarez tells him that the bridge might not be safe and that he will have to be careful. The man returns to say that all is well, and Beral sets below on the bridge only to have it break under him. He plums up a suspicious below with three cliffs.
Papition, however, has arrived on the scene and descending into the slightly hurt a tree having broken his fall. Leaving him there, she goes in search of food and help, but as she is long time past, her servant, Rev. Varez, finally comes to help Alvarez and his two aides mingling goal. Fight ensues, from which Ierval is saved by the arrival of the native Papition is more than ever in love with Berval and she brings home to find that the marchhousen and Denise are also in danger. Others arrive to the great pain of Papition, who absolutely refuses to greet the two indies. Soon after the three arrive for Europe, Papition consolate at the departure of Berval and finally decides to go to Paris. But she has no money. Her only possession is a fetish comforter. The servant catches onto a for passage she offers him the comb. Not to be outdone she swims out to the ship and finally catches onto a boat and gets on board. A scene of much comedy ensues in the pursuit of her, but finally a rich passenger agrees to pay her passage and take her on as
Arriving in Paris she takes the children to the park and while dumbo the preistor of a music hall, who, recognizing her ability, engages her at a large music hall, she mostly at the thought that everybody will come to see her, and that will include Berval. Berval is not there and she leaves in anger. The music hall promoters, seeing their dividends in danger, are afraid of them and they send them a friend that Berval is known to a friend of his, the marquis.
Meanwhile the marquis is at home

A few night later the marathonion gives a grand affair at her home, at which Berval is present. At the end of the day he triumph when the marquis arrives. At the sight of him she leaves her audience and flies off to the home of the marathonion with the marquis. He leaves her in a room and then has one of the servants announce that there is a visitor for Berval. The latter goes, wondering who it could be, and when he sees her he flies two飞 into each others arms, kissing and embracing. The marquis now arrives with Denise and other ladies. Denise will fly off the engagement, while the marquis strikes Berval in the face. The result is a duel on the following day. The marquis has decided to kill his opponent. To the surprise of all the marquis falls. Papitou, hiding in a tree, had shot him dead. After this the usual explanations follow, while Papitou, to the surprise, flings into her music hall work.
Miss Baker is splendid throughout with her frolicsome and original way. She is a charming, charming, and the Follies, and she is by far the most natural person in the entire cast, clammy and agreeable, appaear to the play and they are very good particularly in the nutive dances. Most of the white persons in the cast, except Alvirez, are stiff and self-conscious.
Applying in the east as the music hall manager is Signor Albertin, the count whom she was supposed to have married last year. Approx of this to the count of the count to a declaration of hers at the American consulate recently. In applying for a passport she said that she was single, according to the Paris Tribune, and that she would Paris soon, according to reports.

MUSIC
Ruth Haven Grandison, dramatic soprano, appeared in recital at Michigan Ave, church before a large and especially audience of musicians and music lovers. Miss Grandison is well known as a sofist and has appeared as sofist upon a number of appearances in her appearance in "Milestones," under the direction of Miss Ada Crogman at the University of Michigan. She established her as a singer of unusual merit and with a voice of rare qualities. She is a pupil of George Adams in the Lyon and Healy building.
Winona Mason Brown, contrata and director of music of the Mason school, trained the Girl Reserves of the Y, X, C, or operetta program, which she directed in the theater last Friday evening. The performance was a great success and the talented young people sang their numbers in delightful style. Many of the students promised of becoming worth-white singers if their natural talent is developed, and it is hoped that their parents were sufficiently impressed by the conditions to then train them. Mason reserves the credit for the untiring effort that she put forth and working with a large cast of young people, which numbered 75, requires constant work. Harrison Woollard was in charge of the orchestra.
Fannie Carter Wood, soprano, will be presented in recital Monday evening by Irene T. Yankee musician by latex company by Mrs. T. Yarbrough, well known pianist and organist.

Mickey Walker is still cham-

thing is wrong with boxing in
the state of Illinois.

was on the ropes time and again, but
evidently It counted for nothing so
far ag the judges were concerned.
Take ie trom us. Purdy has been x

refereed some of the hest bouts in the
country. He knows “his onlons.” He
also. Knew who won the fight, and

‘The photographers threatened to
strike and not take any pictures be-
cause the promoter was unable to
move the stand In centerfield closer
to the ring. ‘The stand stood on. the
spot where these men are said to
have picked themselves. Somehow
they didn’t carry out their threat.
George Ade must have been some-
where in the audience. because the

"In the opening preliminary of four
rounds Eddle Baitetin of Chicago beat

Tending all the way.
‘The second bout was detween Billy
Sherman of Grand Rapids and Johnny
Sherrod. Sherrod went down for the
count of nine in the first and twice
for the count of nine in the second.
Something must have happened in
the corner between rounds two and
three, for Sherrod came out and belted
Sherman all over the ring, keeping it
up In the fourth until near the end,
when Referee Phil Collins picked up
the helpless form of Sherman and
waved Sherrod to the corner. Sherrod

Mrs. Williams is the first honorary president of this organization. When women were first applauded, she was elected to the Republican committee. Mrs. Williams was the first woman to be so named and later, upon the adoption of the "30-50 resolution," was the first woman elected to committee membership.

TO BUILD HOME FOR WORKING
MOTHERS WITH CHILDREN
On March 30 last a group of young men and women, high school juniors and seniors and freshmen in college, attended the Eureka Thrift Woods, president the Eureka Thrift association, Inc. for the purpose of forming a sort of junior league with the Eureka Thrift Club, "Phil Eureka." The club began with ten charter members. Since then the number has increased to 40. Its purpose, like that of the Eureka Thrift Club, is to thrift and also to help the less fortunate. In carrying out its latter aim, the club's first step is to join hands with working mothers with children.
---
The idea to build this home grew out of conditions. Each of us realizes the necessity of keeping mother and father together, and mothers who are left to struggle for existence either by the death of the husband or by desertion increases. Or course they must find work of some kind. The problem of what is to be done with the child. If there were only a home for the especial purpose, where the mother could leave the child and care for her, the proper attention such as she would give, that of protection to and from school, especial tutors, home training, the proper meal, and where she would be with her child, how happy she would be with such a lessening of responsibility; officers of the club are: Miss Josephine Matson, president; Earl Parks, vice president; Miss Mable Wheeler, recording secretary; Miss Janet Kryzer, secretive secretary; Mr. Williams, servant-at-arms; Savvair Granberry, reporter.
