Ohio's BEST Weekly Progressive Critical Yet Reliable But Not Radical RETURNS $40,000 WORTH OF JEWELS RICHMOND, Va., April 9.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Although he is "only a Negro," and lives in a community where hbe is looked down upon because of the color of his skin, Carrol Clapman had enough honor and virtue Thursday to return $40.00 worth of jewels which had been lost by Mrs. Clarence Dillon, white, of New York, when reports published in the newspapers indicated that the gems which Chapman had found belonged to her. Mrs. Dil'on had come to Richmond from South Carolina and had taken a taxicab to the home of friends with whom she was to stop. When she left the taxicab, she forgot her jewels. Young Chapman caught the cab shortly afterwards and found the gems. There was no way for him to tell to whom they belonged until the newspapers publised a story of the olss. He promptly returned them then. In the lot were a alrge emerald ring which the insurance company valued at $10,604 and two link dimond bracelets worth $7,00 in a nest of handsome rings, bracelets, brooches, watches and pins. Chapman was paid a reward of $2,000 by a representative of the insurance company for the return of the valuables. OPEN FIRST MODEL GROCERY NEW YORK CITY, April 9.—(By The Associated Press)—The first model grocery store in the United States planned by THE PROGRESSIVE GROCER for Negroes was auspiciously opened Saturday, April 5, at the northwestern corned of Seventh ave, and 144th street. The occasion was historic for the local branch of the Colored Merchants' Association, organized last fall by Albon L. Ho'sey, secretary of the National Negro Business League. Housewives of the community showed their marked interest in the opening by visiting the store in large numbers. Throughout the day it was crowded with customers and sightseers who congratulated the management on its up-to-date policy and pledged their loyal support. W. L. Butler, Associate editor of THE PROGRESSIVE GROCER, who has remodeled 1,200 grocery stores, supervised the pride of the C. M. A. Stores. Much attention has been given to color and charm. The ceiling is painted cream and the walls ivory. The shelving is ivory, trimmed with apple green. So is the cash register, ice box, and delicatessen case. The fruit and vegetable stands are enameled apple green. Two windows with plate glass mirrors and window fixes done in apple green, filled with artificial flowers, given an additional artistic touch. The store of the display type is arranged to save the customers time and step, and the customer is practically next to every item and can personally see and examine everything in stock. The new model store is owned by several members of the Harlem Colored Merchants Association, Arthur N. Jones, for nearly five years a clerk in one of the A. & P. stores, is manager, and is assisted by Robert Mitchell.

"Attached is a memorandum of some of the important cases involving the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments so far as the citizenship rights of Negroes are concerned, which have been presented to the U. S. Supreme Court within the past fifteen years. With the economic, educational, political and other progress which the Negro is making, and with the growing consciousness on the part of intelligent Americans as to the importance to the settlement of the race problem upon a basis of even-handed justice, it seems probable that even more cases of similar nature and equal importance will be presented to the Supreme Court for decision in the near future. Eatertaining such views as he expressed in 1920 when he sought election to the governorship of North Carolina, we are strongly convinced that it would be improper to place such a man as Judge Parker upon the bench of the U. S. Supreme Court."

Genera', Employment and Wages, Farming and Marketing, Skillde and Semi-Skilled Labor, Trade Unions, Realti Stiores, the operation of Factories and Consumer Cooperation are the subjects which have been announced for round table discussion and consideration. "These topics, we feel, will strike right at the heart of the economic situation, as it faces us today," said Dr. Shepherd.

A. A. C. P. Questioned by Senator Overman, of North Carolina, concerning the disfranchisement of Negroes in the South, Mr. White offered to procure for the record of his hearing, instances of such disfranchisement in Senator Overman's own state of North Carolina. This offer Senator Overman declined to avail himself of. On his return to New York, Mr. White said of the hearing: "The protest on behalf of Negroes against the confirmation of Judge Parker, registered in Washington. It helped to crystallize the opposition to Judge Parker in the Senate. Moreover, the fact that an utterance made ten years ago was recalled and used by the N. A. A. C. P., emphasized its long memory; and will make other southerners with political aspirations, more guarded in their utterances in future, than was Judge Parker in the past. "It is to be regretted that a North Carolina Negro educator saw fit to write a fulsome letter of praise of Judge Parker in the face of Parker's derogatory and insulting statement concerning coloured people."

DePriest with 12,783 votes led his nearest rival, Roscoe Simmons, at the end of the primaries who managed to amass 4,107 tallies in the voting.

Before Wart Was Removed After Operation on Nose Before Operation on Nose After Nose Operation Front View of Face After Operation to Remake Broad Wide Nose. Before Nose Operation The Illustrated Feature Section artist's conception of a delicate operation in plastic surgery. Here is a Side View. Note the Clean Cut Profile SCIENCE has come to the aid of those who wish the kind of faces that Nature forgot to give them. Somehow, most of us would like to have things made over. We don't like our names, or we don't like our hair, our eyes, teeth, noses, lips. We are never quite satisfied with the deal that Nature gives us. And this is natural. Science now, has come to the aid of those who want to change their faces. By various methods we can change the type and style and texture of our hair. We can have our teeth changed to suit us. By various aids we can powder and paint to improve upon the skin and its texture, thus it is natural that a successful method has been found to change our faces. Nothing is permanent to-day for the man or woman of yesterday may be found next month looking altogether different. Plastic surgery is the Cinderella which has waved the wand that banishes senility, brings beauty out of deformity, and satisfaction when we pass the mirrors and the admiring glances of friends and the envy of those less fortunate. The miracle of plastic surgery, as a science, is the result of intensive work practiced in the hospitals of the World War. Brought face to face with the need, surgeons quickly learned just how to change the nose or make it over, shift the mouth, remake an ear, build out a cheek and do a hundred other things that saved wounded men for presentable appearance in later life. The first attempts made in the hospitals of France have been improved upon. The technique of this art has been perfected, studied and experimented with, until there are more than one hundred qualified plastic surgeons in the United States that can successfully re-make the body, particularly the face. Since the World War, the entertainers, the show people, have been the greatest supporters of plastic surgery. This is natural. A fresh, unwrinkled, youthful face, with lines of beauty and winsomeness, has a powerful and valuable appeal that is quickly evident at the box-office. The motion picture world was one of the first to patronize in large numbers the plastic surgeon in order that an attractive chin and a winsome mouth might be presented upon the silver screen. A saucy nose with just the right tilt in harmony with other facial lines was discovered to mean an extra row of figures at the left of the decimal point on the contract and the salary check. Negroes are now welcoming the art of the plastic surgeon. A bit of re- .

Then she told Martin of Lyla’s arrival in time to see Zeda in Rod's arms. Martin whistled. “That's a tough break for Rod. He's really ‘looney’ about Lyla.” see By catching a motorbus on the nearby boulevard, Rod managed to get down to his manager's office at the appointed time. Kling was sit- ting at his desk absorbedly poring pover some documents in front of him. When Rod came in he looked up with @ smile. “You're on time. Cowboy,” he greeted. “Have a sit down while I finish looking over these papers.” Rod sank into a chair, Abstracted- y he glanced around the office. The loor was covered with a thick, dark- toned rug of heavy yielding material ‘The desk at which Kling sat was of carved mahogany, and its inkwell and penholder were of some _ lovely material resembling jade. On the tan, roughly textured walls hung a few tasteful pictures. It was quite unlike what Rod would have thought a prize fight manager might occupy. It was more like the quarters of some wealthy executive. hen he smiled to himself, He remembered Kling WAS wealthy, and he was an executive. He had learned that, in addition to managing a large number of fighters, his man- ager also had an interest in one of the largest athletic arenas in the city. So boxing, Rod decided, was not just a game, but a well developed | bus’ esc. _ “All right, Cowboy,” Kling re- marked, as he folded up the papers he had been perusing, and thrust them into his pocket. “We are ready to go. But first I got a surprise for you. A real nice surprise. What do vou think?” “What is it?” asked Rod a. trifle incuriously, His mind was on Lyla and the events of the past few hours. “I got a fight for you! A good one.” Rod's interest quickened. “A fight? Gee, that’s great, Mr. Kling. I feel like doing some fighting. The sooner the bette. When does it come off?” “That's the agen Kling applaud- ed. “I’m glad you want a real fight. Ill tell you. I’ve got such confidence in your ability that I've done something everybody will call me crazy for. You know that the light heavyweight champ fights here in two weeks? Well, I got you the semi-windup fight on that card!” ROD’S BIG CHANCE Rod whistled incredulously. “But, Mr. Kling, that’s an important spot. I thought only fighters with national reputation fought the next most im- nortant fight on a championship card.” “Sure. That's right. But after the fight you’re gonna have a na- winter-time, harvest-time, planting-time and the like, he was forced to become a self-made man. He knew nothing of his father, neither could he boast of a family tree. He was a man of indomitable courage and strength.

WATCH FOR IT! tional reputation—that is. if you beat the boy you're going to fight.” ‘Tl beat him, all right,” Rod promised. “Aren't you even curious to know who he is?” ae asked narrowly, his keen eyes watching Rod's face. “T'ye got two arms, two legs, and whatever else the boy I'm going to fight has got,” Rod declared signifi- cantly. “Thataboy!” Kling commended. “Well, when I tell you who your op- ponent is, you are going to be sur- tas and no fooling!” He lowered his voice confidentially. “It's Mickey Latzo, runner up to the middleweight champ. His manager took this fight because he figured his boy would beat you easy. And boy, if you fooi him, you're a sure shot for a ‘ight with the champ of your division within the next two months!” “Oh, gee, Mr. Kling! Don't you think that fellow’s a little too good for me?” Rod wavered. _ “What did you just tell me?” Kling ‘demanded. | “That still goes!” Rod cried. “All right, then, You see, when I do a stunt like this, the newspapers will just about eat it up. I can see the headlines now: COWBOY HERRICK MAKES DE- BUT IN RING AGAINST NEAR-CHAMP WESTERN BATTLER TO MEET LATSO IN FIRST TRY or maybe,” Kling continued enthusi- astically, “they'll say something like this: TO PIT THE COWBOY FIGHTER AGAINST CHALLENGER OF CHAMPS WESTERNER'S FIRST RATILE TO BE AGAINST MIDDLEWEIGHT CROWN CONTENDER.” Kling’s eyes sparkled. “Boy. what publicity we will get. And if you win,” he paused dramatically to blow a kiss toward the ceiling, “why, you'll be the most taiked of fighter in the world—the whole world, Kid!” “Whew!” breathed Rod. “You scare me to death!” “I feel it in my bones you're going to heat him!” Kling assured Rod confidently. “But do not get the idea that it is going to be easy. It's not. Latzo is a tough baby, and no fool- ing. But I've got a former sparring 3 pe eee ae Ok WaeKk YOU 80) you can catch onto his style of scrapping, 'This Latzo bird hits like dynamite, but I've noticed that you can take ‘em.” He glanced at his watch, “But now we got to hurry. I didn’t tell you yet, but we are on our way now to sign up for the fight, Let's go!” eeoe They had but a few blocks to go, and they went on foot. As they pushed their way through the down- town streets, many persons hailed Kling, and looked at Rod curiously. As they were passing a drug store Kling Suddenly clapped his hand to his head and halted. “Golly, I come near forgetting something! he exclaimed. “Come on inside this drug store, Cowboy. | We're going to call up a coupla news- |papers so some reporters can be on ‘hand while we sign up.” | BIG PUBLICITY The call did not take long. Rod, \standing nearby, heard Kling dis- guise his voice a trifle while he in- formed somebody that it they wanted to be in on something good to hustle right away over to the offices of the Chicago Arena where Kling was go- ing to sign up his new fighter, who had never had a fight, with Mickey Latzo, chief challenger of the middle~ weight champion. He listened a mo- ment. “Well, everybody knows Kling ain't crazy, so maybe you'd better hustle a reporter over to see what it’s all about.” Kling was smiling humorously when they came out. “I'll bet there will be newspaper men already there when we get there. Let's walk kinda slow, Cowboy.” Accordingly they drawled along, with Kling halting to peer into va- rious store windows. “See, Kid,” he cried, at one of the places. “There is a bathrobe of bright red. I'm going to get that for you, and have the picture of a horse —no, a steer—no—iet’s see—well, we'll figure out something to put on the back of it to carry out the idea that you really are a cowboy.” Rod laughed, “I never had a silk dressing gown in my life, Mr. Kling,” he confessed, “Yes, but when you go to the ring before a fight. everything like that helps,” Kling informed him. “Tiger Flowers, the ex-middleweight cham- pion. had a tiger on the back of his robe.” By now the: had reached the en- trance of the Chicago Arena Build- ing. Kling led Rod up the stairs into a palatial suite of offices, A smartly dressed girl asked them their names, and when Kling told her, she showed them into an inner — office where several men had already gathered. At a big flat-topped desk sat a man with heavy features and iron grey hair. He was the matchmaker for the Arena. On the other side sat a thin, dapper man with highly pol- lished hair, fox-like eyes, and a suave smiling manner. On the hand which he extended with an appearance of cordiality to Kling, there sparkled a large diamond. This was Karnes, Mickey Latzo’s manager “Why, if it isn’t my old friend |Kling!” he cried. “Put ’er there.” Kling shook hands gingerly. “How’s the boy bandit?” he asked. “This can’t be the boy you're bring- ing to sign up for fistic combat with ree Mickey?" Karnes exclaimed with felgned incredulity, as he stared at Rod. “Why, this frail child appears to_be nothing but a boy.” Rod flushed angrily. “Never you mind, Mister Karnes,” Kling broke in quickly. “He is just a young child, and he's not very strong—” his voice changed, grew sharper, “but he’s got enough stuff to slap your dear little Mickey down!” “Oh. ‘izzat’ so?” a new voice de- manded. Kling looked up to face a thickset youth whose broken nose, scarred face, and badly curled ears bespoke the veteran prizefighter. “Oh. hello, Mickey,” Kling greeted him. Then unabashed, he went on, “I was just telling your manager iii citi a aM ace aa tT THE DARK KNIGHT how my boy was going to put the sign on you. Step over this way and meet him." Latzo strode across the room swiftly. Rod extended his hand expectantly, but when the other youth was within a foot of him, he saw that Latzo had no intention of shaking hands with him. ROD AND LATZO SIGN "We'll do our paw wringing when we meet in the ring," Latzo growled, his dark grey eyes glaring into Rod's. Rod smiled into the glaring eyes "OK," he said quietly. He had not moved a muscle, nor had his face betrayed any sign of trepidation when the other fighter strode up to him. The man behind the desk spoke up suddenly. "Cut the comedy," he ordered. "Kling, you and Karnes come on over here so we can get together on terms, have these punks sign up, and get it over with." Several newspaper men, who were sprawled around the office, scratched busily at their pads for a minute, then relaxed into slouching attitudes again. Seeing that his glare had not disconcerted Rod, Latzo turned on his heel and walked over to a window which overlooked the busy street below. Karnes and Kling drew chairs up to the desk. Rod found a seat. For the next half hour the office was filled with loud talking, wrangling, and even vituperation as Karnes and Kling sought to come to terms. "I should give you twenty-seven per cent," Karnes shouted, his suavity forgotten, "when this punk kid hasn't even had a fight, so you say." "What has that got to do with getting a fair cut of the money?" Kling demanded. "If you think you've got such an easy fight with my boy, why don't you be satisfied to take the big end and call it square?" "Folks aren't coming out to see YOUR boy fight, and you know it!" Karnes insisted vehemently. "They are coming out to see Mickey slap him over, because they know Mickey is going to be the next middleweight champ." "Oh, yean?" Kling inquired softly "Well, lemme tell you something, Mister Karnes—after this fight there will be a new challenger! See?" "Sez you!" Karnes snorted. "Yup! Sez me." Kling retorted placidly. "But that ain't getting our terms straight. I say that I'm going to have twenty-seven per cent for my boy, and that goes. Not a nickel less!" "And I say that you're not!" Karnes insisted. "You're going to take twenty per cent and like it!" "Well, maybe twenty-five per cent," Kling wavered. Karnes was quick to follow up this advantage. "I said twenty per cent!" "You are a bandit," Kling mourned sadly. "But I wouldn't take twenty. I'll take not a penny less than For hair beauty 1920 Gladys May of Shufflin' Sam Co.

"But at that you're getting about twenty per cent more than your fighter's worth. He won't be in the ring but about a half minute before Mickey bounces him out on his bean!" "We'll see," Kling prophesied. "Now, let's sign the contract." As Rod and Latzo faced each across the broad desk there was a sudden boom of a flashlight charge. Unnoticed by them, a newspaper photographer had set his camera up. "I didn't want to tell you that I was going to take your pictures, or you might change those fighting expressions on your faces and try to look pretty!" the camera man apologized. THE BOUT STAGED Kling rubbed his hands in satisfaction. Karnes also smiled. Both were old campaigners in the fistic game, and each knew the value of publicity. Even while they were arguing over the terms of the contract, each knew that the reporters were listening, and would use some of their statements. Now they exchanged knowing grins. "Well, let's get going," Kling suggested to Rod. "We want to get back over to the gym so you can get a rubdown." As they left the office, two of the reporters followed them. "We're going over to the gym," one of them said.

Not everyone can take time from their work to stay in bed, but anyone can take Lax-ana before going to bed at night and get relief by morning. Lax-ana gives overnight results because it is Double Strength. It is a guaranteed treatment for colds, gripe, biliousness and malarial --- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION----April 12, 1930 are hundreds of my readers, I am sure, who will be glad to have me make an answer here for Vivian C. You, of course, realize, Vivian, that there is a lot of difference between plumpness and being "fat," but this difference is usually in numbers of pounds alone, and when you get plump it becomes comparatively easy for you to go on and gain more pounds and grow fat. Therefore, "plumpness" becomes more or less a real danger to a woman who wants to keep looking her very best. Here is a little secret that one of the great movie stars gave me a number of years ago and I am sure that you will find it works one hundred per cent. Clear off the floor of your bed room, lie flat down on your back and roll over. Roll over again and again, going just as far as you can and then turn back and roll the other way. Do it rather vigorously. You should do this even if you have passed the plump stage because the more vigorously you do it, the more quickly you will roll off pounds. After you have spent five or ten minutes rolling back and forth—not half-heartedly but in real earnest—get up and take a hot bath. Have the water just as hot as you can endure it and lie in the bath for several minutes utterly relaxed. Then turn on the cold water, at the same time allowing the hot water to escape. You can make this even better if you will go to your hardware store or your ten-cent store and get yourself a shower bath attachment that can be attached over any ordinary bath tu'. Turn the water on at about medium and enjoy a shower as a finishing off to your hot bath. Continue the water until it is cold and then dry yourself quickly. The cold water gives a firmness to the flesh and the hot water melts away the fat. I shall be glad indeed to hear from fat folks who want further help.

There is said to be more real value in the spring sun than in that which heats, boils, broils and sizzles us in the summer time. So if you can possibly manage it, get out into the country. Use your car, your neighbor's car, the trolley car, a kiddie car, a choo-choo car or any kind of a car—but get out into the country. When you get there, walk along a stream, up over a hill, through a field, along a violet-strewed road, anywhere and everywhere, breathing deeply, basking in the sun, and learning about Mother Nature at first hand. Take the kiddies and get them started on a leaf collection, a butterfly collection, a stone collection, an insect collection, or a flower collection. It will take you out more often if you have something to go for. Eat luncheon outdoors—either a hot or a cold one. Paddle in the stream when the days get warm.

Parkway Julia Jerome This week, a middleaged coquette of Mobile asks a question. My dear Mrs. Jerome: I am forty but I am not fat and I have always been considered attractive. I am now divorced and thinking of marrying again. The man is younger than I, but he professes to be madly in love with me. He has a little money, not much, and I have some. We could live well on our combined income. But I could marry more money if I didn't love Henry. What I most fear is that I will lose my looks in a few years and that then Henry will stray. If I could be sure of his loyalty now I would be more willing to trust him in the future. But he has a young woman in his office and it seems to me, he spends more time than necessary with her. And when I throw this up to him he grows angry and takes up for her. This looks very suspicious to me. She isn't pretty at all, but she must have some very fine qualities. Do you think I should trust him blindly and go ahead and marry him? No, don't marry him. It isn't henry you distrust, it is yourself. So no matter what Henry does, you aren't going to be completely reassured. Jealously is nothing but lack of confidence in your own power. Of course, he takes up for the girl! If you ever want to rouse a man's down. You are employing very mad tactics. Never argue with a man about another woman. Be so charming and scene yourself, so broad minded and gracious that every other woman will seem petty beside you. Give a man quality and he won't want quantity. St. Joseph's G.F.P.

Balsinger, late of the American Expeditionary Force. He is by nature, friendly and human and able to understand the value of beauty in facial outline. Dr. Balsinge: is probably America’s most note’ plastic surgeon. Hollywood turns to him. Society slips into his operating room. Actors, members of the sporting fraternity patronize him. Blach and white alike are welcomed to the benefits of his trained hand and skillful touch. Some of the brown-skinned Americans are not as well known to the news reading pub- lic, but this has in no sense denied them the satisfaction that they have secured from the results of Dr. Bal- singer's operations, Dr. Balsinger is a specialist on the nose and the chin. Someway our noses and chins are two prominent place: that make or mar us. A ian- tern-jawed man or woman is spotted for | fe and it takes Love's blindness to ‘gnore it. The human nose is another one of those protuberances that disturb us. Someway nature has never been lib- eral when it came to supplying per- fect noses. There are too many with hooks or humps in them, There are ten millions or more that are spread out rather far on each side when perhaps they should be raised to lines o° symmetry. Malformations of the human nose, no matter how varied, come within the scope of the new surgeon of beauty. Dr. Balsinger says that he has taken the “hump” out of noses of hundreds of people by a process in internal surgery. But “saddle- back” noses are his pets, and as such have been the subjects of his earnest endeavors with the scalpel. The operating procedure followed for the correcting of noses whose bridges have gone down is simple. Primarily it consists in remoyng trom behind the ear a portion of the car- tilage there whose substance is iden- tical in its nature and formation to the cartilage of the nose. This living cartilage, with its sur- rounding soft tissues, allowing re~ moval is immediately grafted inter- nally into the nose, thus starting to build up a new bridge, or if there never was a proper line there, one is immediately made. New Noses Stay Put : That new noses stay new, is evi- dent from expertence. When Jack Dempsey and ‘Tunney fought for the championship it was Jack’s new nose| that had to stand many hard blows from the glove-covered fist battering of Gene. “Dempsey’s nose as recon- structed was fully twenty-five per cent stronger than the old one, and thus was able to withstand a harder blow,” according to an expert. In Europe and in some cities of America, various articles and sub- stances have been employed in nose! reconstruction. They include rib/| cartilage, which is non-yielding, in- elastic; and parafine, ivory, celluloid, rubber and gutta-percha. However, “a nose made of ear cartilage is cap- able of being subjected to all the usages a ‘ready-made’ nose is sub- was vouch as sandpaper ag ?, 0 W it’s Smooth as Silkeé a a PALMER’S “SKIN SUCCESS’ OINTMENT did for this tacky girl what it has done for thousands of others . . . e Gua had |tried so many other remedies —plain greasy con- $9 coctions no more helptul of healing than ordinary cooking lard.

This is because it is made of the same material as enters into the composition of the ear. And if you can pull, twist, and hit an ear and it suffers no particular harm, the same holds good for a nose made out of ear substance.” Many colored people have availed themselves of the ability of the plas- tic surgeon. Noses have been changed. ‘They have experienced the same thrill that came to Jack Dempsey when he looked in the mirror and found that he had a nose that only an artist could properly admire. Our noses, somewa,’, can give us self as- surance ane confidence, or they can make us hesitant and uncertain. We are pretty much the sort of people that our noses make us as far as our contact with others is concerned. As our noses affect us. so also do our chins. A too small or too large chin proves dificult to forget. Our eyes and the contours of our cheeks also enter into the picture shown us by our mirrors. “Fixing” the Nose For the patient a local anaesthetic is applied. After the tough layers of skin and flesh are loosened from the bridge of the nose by a small surgical knife, the minute saw is in- serted and patiently sawed about to remove the cartilage that keeps the nose flat. The operation sounds painful, but in practical reality it is hardly ielt_ by the beauty-seeker. Next the skin is cut off that is in. excess of the need. This is carefully put away in a salt solution and thus preserved, for some other patient may come in needing a bit of new skin for grafting or a nose may need. to be built up. The plastic surgeon Relief from Gas Stomach Pains Dizziness The doctors tell us that 90 per cent. of all sickness is due to stomach and bowel troubles. You can’t be well if your digestion is bad; you are likely to get sick unless you relish food and digest it properly. Tanlac has. a wonderful record as a felief from digestive ¢voubles, even those of years’ standing, Local people, many of whom you know, are highly endorsing Tanlac. For example, Mrs. Ellen White says: “For years I suffered from indiges- tion. I got no relief from anything until I took Tanlac. After my fourth bottle, I feel like a new person and have a fine appetite.” 7 If you suffer from gas, pains in the stomach or bowels, dizziness, nausea, constipation, or torpid liver; if you haye no appetite, can’t sleep and are nervous and all run down, you need Tanlac. It is good, pure medicine, made of roots, herbs and barks. Get a bottle from your druggist today. Money back if it doesn’t help you, Accept no substitute.

Eyelashes, too, have been adjusted, grafted and produced to fit the individual. When eyelids are grafted, the hairs are not inserted one by one as some may think. Instead, a portion of delicate skin is grafted on, in which already are growing the hairs desired. This skin and these hairs have frequently been taken the eye of a young healthy per-denly killed, or they have been from some delicately portion of the body of the onders of plastic surgery are Its results are remarkable. may be changed so startlingly family acquaintances can be bored. All walks of life have turned toward the new sciences seeking for help to rectify Nature. Plastic surgery is the Cinderella which waves the wand and presto! noses are changed, lips are smoothed out, chins are remodeled, and our own mothers and fathers are unable to recognize us. Beauty of face, like beauty of figure, has its effect upon the mind. After a successful operation the patient will act younger, because she feels younger; and happier, because she enjoys life more and there is no dodging the mirrors. Bright eyes straight noses, small ears, change the whole world—if we have them. But if you are dissatisfied with the face that you must live behind and your bank account will not permit you to visit a plastic surgeon, don't worry. Worry, too, makes even plain faces look sad and tired, but laughter and gayety makes them handsome in appearance to the other fellow—and that someway is what counts so much—the way the other fellow sees us. With plastic surgery available for all of us, the time may come, when like the dentist, we will all have our date at his office. We can then slip in for a few hours to have our faces changed to suit our purposes for the time being, our business, our friends, or our moods.

"Hey, Kid," the reporter who was walking with Rod cried, "there's some sure enough cows, horns and everything." "They're not cows, they're longhorns—steers," Rod corrected. "Well, you ought to know all about them. You're from their home town," the reporter joked. They were about to cross the street when a loud crash and a louder below caused them to wheel around in time to see the cattle truck careen madly over the street and crash into an electric light pole. Another heavy truck was on its side in the middle of the street. There had been a collision. As they watched, they were horrified to see the end gate in the truck fall out, and one of the animals leap widly to the pavement.

Here's the recipe that banishes fat and brings into blossom all the natural attractiveness that every woman possesses.

He feared to shoot, it was plain to see, because of the crowd. In the confusion which followed, a number of children who had been standing on the sidewalk were forced off into the street by their panic-stricken elders. They were directly in the path of the maddened steer, which bore down on them with lowered horns. ROD IN DANGER Rod plunged through the crowd in one furious motion. The sight of the little children in the path of the frenzied steer made his soul turn sick at the thought of what would happen if he were not able to stop the beast. The steer, its red eyes rolling wildly, its nostrils dilated and frothing, halted as Rod came into the range of its vision.

From the sidewalk Kling's pleading voice came faintly, "Cowboy, Cowboy, don't let yourself get hurt! Come back, my boy!" Rod paid him no heed. The steer wagged its head slowly from side to side. Its sharp, crooked horns lowered menacingly. Women were screaming hysterically. Men's voices rose high over the other noises, shouting useless advice. Abruptly the steer plunged toward Rod. It seemed that no human force could halt the crazed animal before it could drive its wicked horns into Rod's body, and trample him with its cumbrous, pointed hooves. The crowd fell suddenly silent.

Congressman DePriest Wins Nomination It is gratifying to note that Congressman Oscar DePriest has been nominated again to represent the first district of Illi- nois in Congress. DePriest won 4 to 1 over his opponents. The only colored Congressman has made a splandid represen- tative and deserves a second term. The first district of li- nois is overwhelmingly republican, therefore Mr. DePriest’s nomination assures his election. It is to be regretted that Judge Aibert George of Chicago failed to obtain a second nomination. Judge George should be placed upon the bench again.

Curbing Accidents The automobile accident menace wil | not be curbed until drivers “think safety.”” During the past ten years, through intensive safety work, the American railroads have reduced fatalities on their prop- erty, owing to conditions within their contral, 61 per cent. The accident record in almost all other industries has steadily decreased, due to untiring efforts that have impreg- nated a knowledge and a sonsciousness of safety in the minds of workers! i Contrast this with the automobile aceident situation. Last year motor vehicles were responsible for the deaths of 81,500 persons—a new high record. This represented a 13 per cent. increase over the 1928 record, while automobile registrations gained but cight per cent. “Motor vehiele accidents lead all other acuses of accidenta Ideath by 4 wide margin. > There is hut one encouraging circumstance, Accidents to school children are on the decrease due to the fact that safety education is part of the curricula in modern and. pro- gressive schools. ‘ Every reckless and irresponsible driver is a menace to all the rest of us, Persons who disregard safety sltould be prevented from using the publie highways, .

A, Adams ed periods in the cal on Week’ and “Holy Sunday” the fifth § beginning of the Ma ins with “Palm Sund Rea gta ga “Passion Week” and “Holy Week” By R. A. Adams The most sacred periods in the calender of the Christian Church are “Passion Week” and “Holy Week,” The former follows “Passion Sunday” the fifth Sunday of the Lenten period and is the beginning of the Master's final sufferings: “Holy Week” begins with “Palm Sunday” and ends Easter. Very appropiate are the designations used for both of these periods. “Passion Week” is appropiate in designating the begin- ning of the end of a work which was inspired by the loftiest passion that was ever known to men, or even to angels, a pas- sion unabating and all consuming. Thinking of passion as suffering it is illustrated by the garden agony, humiliation in the Judgement Hall, ridicule, at Herod’s tribunal, mockery at Pilate’s bar, the crown of thorns, mocking repd and cruel scourages, evidences of mental anguish and goul-torture, A picture of the physical sufferings is given in the steam- ing biood from the wounded brow and- the. wounded. body; the strain and weakness as He fell beneath His eross ascending Calvary; then come the excruciating pains as He is nailed to the cross; and after these th: final throes of death, the agon- izing wail, and the awful thirst complete the catalogue of mental anguish and physical sufferings of Jesus which ended | on “Good Friday” in His crucifixion, The last week in the life of Jesus before, His crucifixion is termed “Holy Week,” and this is appropriate because no events have ever been nor can ever be “more sacred or more holy than those which were ushered in by “Palm Sun- day” the day of the Master's entry into Jerusglem as the prop- hetsshad foretold, “meek and lowly and riding on the foal of an ass.” Then, this period featured the eylmination of the activities of the Holiest Being that ever trod the earth. ~~ it ig well that the churéhes thruout Christendom should observe “Holy Week,” and thus keep alivé'in the minds of men the superb passion and the incomparable love of Jesus Christ Where Ideas are Born oe — |i i a he ee | eg Fh n \ it Vi i ' Lee i Vesa MiNi, “20 Cen NF a Hi a ool Ni ae LA Shi) RG A NA one A Le i ee uy lh eu |) cn Ae a wei OM 8 rs 5) Ya i i nh } we pani ne } Va » ASS £.\( Nl r ( Se) A i a BS UR !

The Downstairs Store By Kenton Jackson TIGER WILLIAME, christened Roy Bernard Williams, will celebrate his 24th birthday Friday, April 11. Unlike some pugilists, Williams makes the boxing profession a business and expects to make some money to further his education and attend a aw school. ALL THIS was learned from an interview with the Chicago pugilist the day after he fought to a draw with Rosales, the big Mexican-Indian from Cleveland. We asked Tiger how he felt after the tussle and he said he was in the best of condition and was none the worse from the encounter. AS A general rule some people depend on their bigger brother for protection, but this is untrue with Tiger. Williams comes from a family of ten children. He has six brothers and three sisters. He, however, is the only pugilist. He likes to box and puts his who's soul into the contest. He will return to this city on the 21st or 22nd of this month to battle on the Forrest Park A. C. card. The Tiger will either tackle Rosales in a return engagement or Gorilla Jones on that date. It is a certainty that one of the two pugilists named will be his opponent. ONE ROUND HOGAN almost lived up to his name. Not the way he should have but vice versa. Palmer nearly gave him the anestheti mcritten in the first round but the One Round Hogan lingered on until the third before he decided to rest on the resin. Palmer staged a great comeback after three months idleness in the fist slinging racket. He was great. THEHE IS talk about George Godfrey coming to this city to feature on an outdoor card in the near future. This is not only talk, but it is a fact. Jim Holland really knows how to match fighters. Just who the opponent of the gigantic Godfrey will be is not known just now. However, we will let you in on a little inside information in a few days. EVERY SINCE the Daily News sports department called Benny Kid Stanley a clown he has not been heard from. After al he was named rightly.

They woud have saved dough.. JIM DORSEY will without doubt be seen at i big red and black uniform cavorting over the gridron for Steele high school next fall.

According to reports from local fight headquarters we may see just that thing. Gorilla Jones, one of the classiest mitt swingers of the race will be pitted against Tiger Roy Williams on the next fight card here at Memorial hall, it is rumored. Jones hails from Akron, the rubber city, and Williams, as we know, is the Windy City battler who has not yet been beaten in a local ring. It will be a survival of the fittest on April 21 when these two stellar ringmen calsh. The jungle nicknamed creatures will give you one of the snappiest exhibitions of pugilism ever staged here. You can rest assuredly that your correspondent knows what he is talking about so you can get set for a Tiger Roy Williams Gorilla Joens seto.

Anyway, we enjoyed a raber nice evening blowing smoke in our pet snake's face. Yes, we have a nice little playmate, but he stays in a big glass jar, or what have you? TOLEDO brought a good team of basketballels here to trounce the Hi-Y in the alst game of the season. Not once during the entire contest did the Dayton lads threaten. The Toledonns played an altogether better brand of ball than did the Daytonians. In basketball the object is to outscore your opponents. But the Hi-Y didn't. That is why they lost. Raymond Swann, who has recently been nicknamed "Al Jolson" sat on the sidene watching his team take the set-back. Copyrighted 1930 by K. J. Jackson BABY JOE GANS JACK MCVEY YOUNG JACK THOMPSON GEORGE BROUSE FLOWERS The above layout shows six of the greatest colored fighters in the fictive game today. Chief among them is George Goddrey, who expects to get a fling at the heavyweight crown, and the sensational Jack McVey, who has battered his way right to the top among the wrestlers. McVey lost the decision of a ten-round match to George Courtney of California, when the two figured in the main bout of a boxing festival held last week at Cleveland. O. (By Waymon Puckett) This week we continue our seurvey of Race business a'ong Dayton's busiest and most progressive trades lanes, Fifth Street. In the last inscription of this column we left you at Charter street. Moving westward along the stroll we notice a rather nice looking building on the north side of the street. The edifice we refer to is none other than the Hatcock. In this office building is located the laboratory of leading dentists of the city, L. W. Hatcock. The Hatcock building is one of the newest structures of its kind owned by race peopel. It was erected last year and is considered one of the finest equipt office buildings in the state. At the present time Dr. Hatcock has an office for rent. It will be particularly suitable for a chiropodist, real estate broker, or any one who does not need a large amount of space. You can inquire at the building for rates. Moving still westward we stop at another of Dayton's dentists. The office of Dr. E. E. Campbell is just a stone's throw from the Forum office, Dr. Campbell has a well equipt office and his knowledge of denisty is undisputed. It seems as if everyone is getting ready for Easter Sunday. Those who do not care to purchase new clothes are rushing to the Clover Leay Dry Cleaning company owned and operated by T. A. Dixon. Mr. Dixon is ever ready to serve his customers. Adjoining the pressing club of Mr. Dixon you can further prepare for the Easter season. Samuel's barber shop is in the same building. At 430 W. 5th st. is the Cox bldg., where the Super Building and Loan Association has its main offices on the avenue. In this building you can get surgical and dental attention, life insurance, and real estate That is some building that houses all those different businesses and professions. We ask you.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 25—(By The Associated Negro Press)—This great Western City is the "sea of lost ships" so far as new race papers are concerned which try to make the graed and go down after a short career. Within the space of a dozen years over fifteen papers have arisen, made glorious debuts and sunk into oblivion. The newspaper field here is practically covered by three newspapers—The California Eagle, New Age Dispatch and the Pacific Defender. Two of these are quite old—the Eagle edited by Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bass, which is at present engaged in celebrating its fifteenth anniversary and the New Age Dispatch, edited by Hon Fred. Roberts, 12 years Assemblyman from the 74th District. The youngest of the triumvirate is the Pacific Defender already about eight years old anw edited by the brilliant blind editor, Fred C. Williams, formerly of Omaha. These three cooperate and the contemporary institutions get along quite amicably, not considering themselves in opposition with each other. The Defender is published Wednesday night. The Eagle Thursday night and the Dispatch Friday night. When a new publication enters the field they welcome it provided it does not swagger in with a chip on its shoulder theatering to "show the town how to run a paper" and to "put all others out of business." Even then they do not fight it but have followed policy of ignoring all attacks. The average newspaper has entered in this manner with a ot of boasts and swagger. Soon "they fold their tents like the Arabs" and are gone where the wood-bine twinheth and the do-berry don't. Behind them as a rule are left a lot of angry creditors, mournful paid-in subscribers and advertisers, and deserted supporters flocking back to their first loves. Fact is, there is just room for a few as the large down-town stores only issue advertising by monthly as a rule and then only when results from established mediums have justified their space buying in the past. This is their plan of dealing with all the weeklies as here there are Japanese, Chinese, French, Spanish, Jewish and other papers of this type. To date, some of the papers that have made their rise and fall are: "The Progress," "The Progressive Era"; "The Pallyman"; "The L. A. Post"; "The Hatchet"; "The Pacific Coast Defender"; "The Advocate"; "Pacific Reporter"; "The Western Dispatch" and the "The Free Lance." Recently following a new policy of a "news magazine," Mrs. Fay Jackson Robinson established the Flash and through strenuous effort built up considerable circulation. But the terrific strain told and the determined, valiant little editor suffered a nereous breakdown just at the time her guidance was needed most. And thus continues the procession of race publications into the "sea of lost ships." A Campaign To Anticipate Tuberculosis The National Tuberculosis Association and its affiliated associations throughout the country will make the prevention of tuberculosis among children the keynote of ith third annual Early Diagnosis Campaign, to be he'd during April. The campaign, which is one of the many projects made possible by the sale of Christmas seals, will be entriely an educational effort, seeking to impress upon the public the fact that tuberculosis usually begins in childhood. All literature issued in connection with the campaign—leaflets, pamphlets, posters, ect.—will bear a child's picture and blaze forth the message to parents: "Protect Them From Tuberculosis" together with the specific advice; Hams, Bacon, Sausages, etc. Quality Meat Products A popular and profitable line The Chas.

One is the kell-known X-Ray photograph and the second is the tuberculin test. The latter is a simple, harmless, painless skin test which shows whether or not there are tubercle bacilli in the body. The presence of the bacilli is indicated by a reddish tint on the skin at the point the ulcerculin was applied. Business houses that advertise in the Forum merit the patronage of the Negro public. They show their appreciation of colored trade by inviting it through the columns of the mouthpiece of 25,000 people.

It is worthy of the very finest appreciation. Tuberculosis is not inherited, but is caused only by a germ called the tubercle bacillus. Although the disease often begins in early childhood it is unlike many so-called "children's diseases" in that it is lasting, or chronic. In most cases it develops so slowly as to appear to be asleep, or "latent" until the early adult years, when it ripens into activity and becomes an object of public concern. One purpose of the educational campaign is to remind people that the preventive measure should be taken during the period of latency. The people of this city have watched with pride the steady progress the merchants have made who advertise in the Forum, who stand as a bulwark of constructive activity for the good of our city.

GARFIELD 58 DINING CAR STEWARD FIRED ATLANTA, Ga., April 9.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Observations of a changing south which are sometimes made by optimistic southerners are given some substance in the announcement that George Leedham, white dining car steward of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, has been discharged because of his failure to serve a colored passenger in the dining car in November while the train was going from Baton Rouge to Beaumont, Texas. The colored passenger was Jesse O. Thomas, field director of the National Urban League. Mr. Thomas, after he had been told by the coloured waiter that the steward would not serve him in the dining room, but would give him service in the conch, declined such special attention, and when he reached Houston, made a complaint against the steward. Last week Mr. Thomas made the smae rtlp. He made the same request for service in the dining room. After he had finished his dinner, Mr. Thomas asked the waiter what had become of the other steward. The waiter replied: "Mr. Loodham refused to serve a colored passenger in the dining car in November, and a complaint was registered which resulted in his having been taken off this road."

Nie ay oa ht Os eT, Menke: UP ADOUT one-sixth by weight of all of the food eaten by the average American family, Milk supplies in practically convenient and usable from materials that children need if they are to develop strong, normal bodies; and it is a valuabl eofod for adults, especially when it is com- bines with such foods as cereals and green vegetables. Composition and Food Value of Milk. The milk ordinarily sold for household use varies in composition, principally because of differences be- tween the breeds of cows and individuals of the same breed. On the average, however, milk contains 87 per , cent water and 13 per cent solids, consisting of proteins, fat, sugar, and a variety of mineral substances. Because Bethe: uatnbel variation, most: cheamories how dest “all the milk they buy and pay for it on the basis of fat content. For the same reason dairymen who supply the retail trade usually find it best to mix the milk from a herd of cows immediately after it is drawn. In this way the content of the milk is kept more uniform from day to day, which is a decided advantage to the con- sumer. Milk is slightly heavier than water, its specific grav- ity. varying with the proportion of water, fat, and other substances. The specific gravity of milk is sometimes used as a test of its purity, but since removing part of the fat raises and adding water lowers the specific giavit, one form of adulteration may cover up the other and thus render this test alone unreliable. As a rule milk freezes at about 29 to 31 degrees Fahrenheit. The freezing point, however, varies with the composition, falling as the amount of solids becomes greater and rising as water is added. The freezing- point method is one of the most reliable for detecting the addition of water to milk. : Just what each of the nutrients as well as the vi- tamins conttibute-torch@ high food value of milk is dis- eussed below in detail. Briefly stated, milk is an ex- tremely valuable food because it contains, first, materials that children need for growth; :econd, materials that young and old alike need for the repair of their body; and third, materials that all nee! for fuel, ‘o provide them. with heat and with the ener;y necessary for werk. This does not mean, however, that mil has these in- gredients: in such proportions that it can s-rve satis- factorily as the only food of a yrown perscn.or even of a child. Since it contains such a high pergariage of water, 5 or 6 quarts each day would be required to meet the needs of an adult if mil < were his only food, and in this case unnecessary quan ities of protein would be consumed. Also, grown persens and children past the normal nursing period need iro: in greater abundance than is found in milk. The iron stored in tie. body of a new-born child is enough to enable it to live ior a few months on that in milk, but older children and adults need more generous supplies, such as ean be abtained from egg yolk, meat, whole cereals, and some fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, the digestive organs of heal- thy persons past babyhood do their best work when at least part of the food contains cellulose, or roughage, such as is found in vegetable foods. When combined with other foods, therefore, milk is used to best advan- tages, and in the diet of the growing child it is excep- tionally Important. Ciild specialists declare that each child should take at least a pint of milk each day, and most such authorities recommend a quart a day. Protein Compounds. Protein compounds are. necessary for the formation of body tissues and fluids and may also serve as body fuel. Protein in food takes different forms. For ex- ample, the protein.of the white of egg consists largely of albumin, lean meat contains a protein compound known as myosin, and peas and beans contain one called legu- min. The principal protein compound in milk is casein. ‘Another important one is called lact-albumin, but this is present in much smaller quantities. All forms of protein contain nitrogen and all are made up of sub- ‘stances known as amino acids. The combination of milk, eggs, meat and other flesh food is very like some of those in the human body. These are therefore of special value for tissue building, and are called ade- quate, or complete, proteins, and milk and other ma- terials that furnish them are sometimes grouped to- a a W 7 ae Vom\ a : a Bim suGAR G MMNERALS | Se “VITAMINS | | | ea ' | a Fats. Fats are the most concentrated fuel foods in the diet, and from the commercial standpoint fat is the most important substance in milk, since it is the source of butter and is an important constituent of many kinds of cheese. The fat of milk, known also as butterfat, is in the form of small globules varying in size in the different kinds of milk, and, being lighter than water, these globules tend to rise to the top of the milk as it stands, thus forming cream, Cream is not pure milk fat, but contains also some of the other substances in milk, - Milk Sugar Milk sugar, or qlctove, belongs téthe group of nutrients called earbo-hydrates!: Like cané'sugar, it sup~ plies energy to the body, but dissolves less readily and is much less sweet. Most of the milk in the whey when the curd (caesin) is removed in cheese making, and may be easily separated from it. Milk sugar is usually mar- keted as a fine white powder that looks like confee- tioner’s sugar, and is used in modifying milk for babies, in the preparation of drugs, and in many other ways. Mineral Matter. Mixferal ‘constituents of milk that are especially important to the body are phosphorus, iron, and lime, Phosphorus is fairly abundant in milk. Although not much iron is present in milk, what. little there is can be easily used by the body, Milk is much richer in lime the cheif constituents of bones and teeth, than are most other foods, and this is one of the reasons why it is an excellent food for children. Vitamins. Vitamins are among the comparative recent dis- coveries of science. Little is known about them or the part they play in the diet save that there are several kinds that are necessary for normal health and that when they are left out of the diet for a long time so- called “deficiency diseases” develop. At least five kinds of vitamins are now recognized, which, until more satisfactory names are agreed upon, may be known as A, B, C. D and B, All of these vitamins may be present in milk, Vitamin A is found only in certain foods, and in few so abundantly as in milk, especially from cows on pasture. This vitamin seems to be largely associated with the fat of the milk; therefore whole milk, cream, and butter are richer in this respect than are skim milk, buttermilk, and other milk products containing little fat. Other important sources of vitamin A are green-leaf vegetables, egg yolk, and the liver and other glandular organs of animals. Vitamin B is found is many fresh foods, but not in highly refined ones such as white flour, cornstarch, pol- ished rice, white sugar, and table oils. It is present in milk but not so abundantly as is vitamin A. Vitamin C is less widely distributed and seems to lose its special value more easily than A and B. It is furnished by certain fruits and vegetables—for example, oranges and tomatoes—and to some extent by mily. Its value, in milk however, seems to be easily destroyed so that absolutely fresh, uncooked milk from pasture- fed cows is the only milk that should be relied on to supply it. That the best food for an infant is milk from a s'rong, healthy woman is admitted by everyone. When th’s is not obtainable, the more nearly the substitute resenmbles it the better. Cow’s milk is the most com- mon substitute and: when necessary may be artifically modified. Goat’s milk, too, is in some cases recommend- ed for infants. Pe Cow’s milk contains more protein, less sugar, and slightly more fat than woman's milk, and the fat glo- bules are larger. Also it is said to form a tougher curd. Fortunately, most healthy babies thrive on good cow's milk or on cow's milk simply modified. It is the sickly who require special preparations, and their needs yary so greatly that only the physician familiar with the, case, and not always he- can say what change is necessary. There are laboratories in many large cities and towns where modified milk of all sorts caf be pro- cured on prescription. The milk for babies should be the purest obtainable, and should, be, cared for serupulously after it is delivered. In fact, it is usually more important that the milk for babies should be pure than that it should be especially rich, for the fat in very creamy milk may cause. difficulty in digestion, Since raw milk may contain harmful bae- teria, Pasteurized milk is often considered safer for ba- bies. A home method of Pasteurizinafaradarodarodgafa bies. As a result of the demand for milk of unquestion- cd purity for children, certified milk may now be ob- tained in many towns and cities. This milk is produced and bottled under sanitary conditions, certified by a medieal milk commission, and is labled with a certi- fieate that can be used only by establishments producing milk of a fixed standard of purify. Such milk justly commands a higher price than that of which quality is not guaranteed. Certified milk should not be con- fused with so-called “sanitary” or “special” milk These are terms applied somewhat loosely to milk produced and handled under conditions considered necessary to assure a pure, wholesome produce, but they are some- times applied by dealers, for purposes of advertising, to milk produced under decidedly insanitary conditions, Butter Butter, or in other words milk fat in a very con- densed form, is one of the most palatable and digestible fats in our diet. Moreover, it also has special food value because it contains vitamin A. The flavor, color, and texture of butter influence price to some extent, but affect quality rather than composition, and so far as is known have little effect on nutditive value or di- gestibility. They are also an index of care and cleanli- ness in making and handling butter. ; , Buttermilk. it Strictly speaking, buttermilk is the mildly acid liquid left after the fat globules of milk or cream have been churned into butter and removed. Buttermilk, however, is also manufactured by ripening pasteurized skim milk with lactic-acid cultures and then so stirring the curd that it is broken up into fine particles, just as by churning. In fuel value buttermilk, whether a by- product of butter making or manufactured with cultures, is very similar to skim milk. The caesin of buttermilk, however, is often more easily digested than that of or- dinary milk, and for this reason carefully prepared milk is sometimes a food of special value for babies and in- valids. Though most often served as a beverage, but- termilk may be used in practically the same way as sour milk in cookery, and can also be made into a frozen product, 1 ae | aI tel (Editorial Note) The Forum is pleased to publish herewith a memorial page for the late William L. Blocher. When Dayton's illustrious poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, was struggling to publish his first book, Mr. Blocher, who was at that time foreman of the United Brethren Publishing House, came to his rescue, and advanced funds to the poet. The friendship thus established lasted throughout the life of the poet. After Paul's death, Mr. Blocher was very attentive to Mother Dunbar; and was one of the founders of the Dunbar Association. The demise of Mr. Blocher removes a real friend of the race. FUNERAL SERVICES OF WILLIAM L. BLOCHER The funera) services of William L. Blocher who died February 20, 1930, were held at the residence February 22nd and were in charge of Rev. Brewbaker. The body was then taken to the Masonic Temple, where it lay in state with a guard of honor from the Knight Templars, from 10:00 a. m. to 2 p. m. His pastor, Rev. Fred L. Dennis, D. D., of the First U. B. church, preached an eloquent sermon and referred feelingly to the one who has left us. He was followed by Rev. Charles Brewbaker, D. D., who read the touching sketch of Mr. Blocher's life, which Mr. Blocher had with him. The services were closed with the beautiful Scottish Rite ring service when Mr. J. F. Edward Dohse transferred to the widow the Masonic ring won by Mr. Blocher. Among the many relatives from out of the city were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hayes of Bellefontaine, Ohio. Mrs. Hayes is the sister of Mr. Blocher. W. L. Blocher, youngest son of Judge and Mrs. W. F. Blocher, was born in Celina, Ohio, May 25, 1854, and departed this life February 20, 1930, at the age of 75 years, 3 months and 25 days. His father was a soldier in the Union army during the Civil War and was killed battle in 1864 which left him an orphan boy in his eleventh year. After that he made his home with an uncle who was a farmer and with whom he lived and worked for five years, attending school three months each winter. After leaving this uncle he went to Celina and took up the printer's trade. He served his full apprenticeship under Mr. A. P. J. Snyder, then came to Dayton in 1873 and worked at his trade in the job department of the United Brethren Publishing House. In 1881 he was advanced to the position of foreman of the House. In 1893 he was further promoted to the superintendency of the printing and estimating department. He was connected with this establishment about 25 years. For the last eight years he was employed by the Merchants National Bank of our city where he was the genial and cordial custodian of the safety deposit boxes in which capacity he served until the time of his death. On September 16, 1886, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Butterfield 图 OBITUARY MEMORIAL FOR WILLIAM L. BLOCHER Friend of Paul Laurence Dunbar of Dayton by the Rev. W. J. Shuey, D. D. One child was born to this union, a daughter, who is now Mrs. Helen Coblentz. Mrs. Blocher, the daughter, two grandchildren, Ruth and Janet Coblentz and one sister, Mrs. Henry Hayes of Bellfountaine, with a host of friends survive to mourn his going. Mr. Blocher was a faithful member of the First United Brethren church for more than fifty years and was thoroughly acquainted with the history and growth of the denomination and its outstanding lenders during that time. He was a loyal church man. He was also a Mason, a member of the Dayton Lodge, a member of the Knight Templars and Scottish Rite. Mr. Blocher was skilled in his art as a printer and was known for his excellent workmanship in which he took great personal pride. It can be said of him without hesitation or reservation that he was a cultured, Christian gentleman with unsullied reputation and character. He was pleasant, affbale and held in the highest esteem by the employees who worked under his superintendency of the U. B. Publishing House and was beloved by all his associates at the Merchants National Bank. A good man, a man of superior qualities has gone from us. How splendid it is that he was permitted to work until almost the last. He will be greatly missed by those who remain, especially by his dear ones at home. He now claims the mansion prepared for him by the One whom he so faithfully loved and served. Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark. For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar. PETER H. "I hold Mr. Blocher in very high esteem," stated Mrs. Matilda J. Dunbar, mother of the world's greatest Negro poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar. "He was a good Christian man ever ready to lend a helping hand, he was a dear friend of Paul and me," continued Mrs. Dunbar. A copy of Oak and Ivy, the first book young Dunbar published, was lying on the table and Mrs. Dunbar says it is a constant reminder of that never-to-be-forgotten day when the book came off the press. Relaxing in her favorite rocking chair in the Dunbar homestead she beautifully told of her first experience with Mr. Blocher. Mrs. Dunbar says: 'Overflowing with enthusiasm one noon Paul came home and asked me if I had misplaced the papers he told me to save. Since he didn't see them lying on the table where he had left them he looked around attempting to discover them. I thought they were just his school papers and I put them in a box under the kitchen cabinet. "He looked at me and said, 'Ma, I am going to publish a book.' I pretended I didn't hear him so he ate his lunch and went back to his job in the Callahan building, where he ran an elevator for four dollars a week. "That afternoon he returned home and again said, 'Ma, I am going to publish a book. I have matter.' Matter? What is matter, I asked him 'Those papers I had on the table are what I am going to have published in a book,' said he. I immediately got the papers that I had thought were only school papers and gave them to him. "Paul said, 'I am going to the publishing house to see if I can publishing house and see if I can get it published', He went out the door happy as he could be and on to the publishing house. Paul asked how much it would cost to have his little book published. He was to'd it would cost him $125. Of course Paul didn't have it and he asked if he could pay for the printing on the installment plan. He was told it would cost him cash money to get the work done. Paul sadly came out of the publishing house, though not discouraged It was winter time and very cold. There Mr. William Blocher saw him coming out of the house and said, "What is the matter, young man?" Paul told him his sorrowful story. By Kenton Jackson W. L. BLOCKER. 'Give me that material and I will get it published for you before the holidays', said Mr. Blocher. Paul's very soul was filled with glee and and he came home thanking and praising God." There is the first glimpse of William Blocher in Dunbar's life. The writer listened attentatively to Mother Dunbar as she sat and rocked and told her wonderful, fortunate, and interesting experience with Mr. Blocher. Mrs. Dunbar proceeded. "One bitter cold morning when a heavy snow was on the ground, a knock was heard at the door, while I was getting breakfast. I opened the door and in came a man with a big box and asked if Paul Dunbar lived there. I answered, 'yes sir' He asked, 'What is this fellow, a lawyer, preacher, or doctor?' I replied, 'Neither, he is a poet.' I didn't know what a poet was then. "Paul came in and I showed him the box. He opened it and first looked at the books, then at me. 'Runf ro your life and get the girls', I said, and in a few minutes we stared at the books and then at me, all stood gasping at the books. They And in the language of his poem, 'we had a scrumptuous time'. Oh! I was so happy. It was the first appearance of "Oak and Ivy." "In a few days Paul thought he would sell his books where he worked so he took them to the Callahan building and every time he would take a passenger up on the elevator he would attempt to sell him a book. 'What is the price of your book, young man? asked an elderly gentleman. 'One dollar, sir,' returned Paul. 'That is pretty high for such a small book,' said the prospective buyer. 'My book is intended to eslil on merits and not on size', replied Paul. "In two weeks time Paul sold enough of his books to repay Mr. Blocher. 'This young man is a great poet,' said Mr. Blocher as he retained several copies of the book for himself. "Now you can plainly see the respect and esteem I hold Mr. Blocher in. He was a great friend of Paul and me." Thus ended the interview with the mother of the leading poet of the Negro race. The writer intends to compose a series of stories concerning the life of the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar. They will be written exclusively for this paper. Copyrighted 1930 by K. J. Jackson "Go on and up! our souls and eyes Shall follow thy continuous rise; Ou rears shall list thy story From hards who from thy root shall spring And proudly tune their lyres to sing Of Ethiopia's glory." A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE WILLIAM L. BLOCHER Were the writer of this article asked to unite a suitable headline for it, there would be so many to suggest themselves that it would be hard to select one, because of so many that could be used, but perhaps the following wound be appropriate. William L. Blocher, son of Judge and Mrs. Wm. L. Blocher of Celina was born in Celina, Ohio in 1854 and his mother died when he was 3 years of age and the father was killed in the Civil War. The elder Mr. Blocher founded the first newspaper in Celina and it is still published—"The Standard." In those days the apprentice had to give years of time to learn the trade, but Mr. Blocher (left an orphan when only a lad) finished his trade under the careful training of Mr. Snyder and came out of his apprenticeship an expert. Coming to Dayton soon after, he got a position with the U. B. Publishing House. They soon recognized his ability as a printer and after working at the "case" for sometime, he was promoted from one position to another until he attained the highest position in the large printing department, and if ever a man made good he did. It was there I met him about 30 years ago when I was getting a book ready for printing and his great kindness patience, and genuine interest in the work led to an acquaintance that has continued through all the years since. A lasting memory of one who was of such a kindly nature. To have known him was not only a p'easure but a benediction. The church relations, the great interest in his business, the high honors he ganeid in the Masonic lodges, all were carried out with the same fidelity and devotion, but his greatest pleasure was with his family whom he was devoted and he will be greatly missed by his wife and daughter, sister and others. Living a Christian life was one trait in Mr. Blocher that gave him great pleasure and that was his great assistance to those needing encouragement and the greatest of these was Paul L. Dunbar, the great Negro poet. Paul was elevator boy for some time at the U. B. B'dg., and, in riding with him often, Mr. Blocher learned to like Paul and no doubt encouraged him in his high school work. Noticing that Paul at times was depressed Mr. Blocher asked him what was troubling him and Paul told him that he had been writing for some time and had enough material for a book that he would like to publish but that he could get no one to finance it. Mr. —From Dunbar's Ode to Ethiopia. Blocher, knowing Paul's great ability, offered to finance it for him and the first book came out in due time and was named 'Ook and Ivy.' Few of the thousands of people who have read the works of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the greatest Negro poet known, that he was started on his road to fame by Mr. Blocher, as his native modesty, kept him from talking about it and he would give the credit to Paul. I knew them both, and am firmly convinced that if Mr. Blocher had oot financed the first volume, that Paul would never have achieved the position he occupied in the literary field, perhaps would never have had any of his fine poems published. No one can estimate the pride felt in Paul than by his aged mother and Mr. Blocher. When, recently. Mr. Blocher was promoted, he was ready and waiting, and we who are left to mourn his loss, but are glad to have known and loved him. —A FRIEND. MR. WILLIAM BLOCHER It was with the deepest regret I learned of the passing of Mr. William Blocher. I had known him for more than 40 years. I first met him when he lived on Tecumsoh street; I was sitting in a surry directly across the street from his house. He came out and gave me a cherry good morning, asked my name and a few other questions and a friendship began that I cherished throughout the years. In the last few years I had friendly chats with him almost daily, as he walked by the Main street engine house going to his work. The conversation nearly always ended up by saying something about Paul Lawrence Dunbar, whom I know he gave such great encouragement and financial assistance. Paul wasn't able to get his first book until Mr. Blocher came to his assistance, and all through his early struggles he was his constant inspiration and guide. It had to be this first help that brought this budding genius later to the attention of Judge Dustin, Prof. Landis of Bonebrake Seminary, Dr. Tobey of Toledo, Father Neville, James Whitcomb Riley and others. We who knew him watched his star ascend until he was crowned the greatest poet of his race. No one was more interested in Paul's achieve ments; no friend grieved more sincerely at his untimely death. This jitt'e testimonial is written by one who knew both intimately and well. May their spirits ever bask in the sunshine of an eternal day. RANDOLPH J. TAMS: AND NOW-THE PORTABLE SCHOOL Shacks, Squalor and Shiftlessness Disappeared With Magic Swiftness, as a Result of the Enlightenment Received From This Roving Dispenser of "Readin', Writin', and 'rithmetic "A-rolling" here, there and elsewhere, carrying added education and inspiration to some 30,000 farmers annually, the Booker T. Washington motorized school one of the most successful missionaries of improved rural life among southern coloured farmers still continues its rounds. Booker T. Washington was father of the admirable idea of a traveling school on wheels. More than 20 years ago, his cherished scheme was hatched into reality away down South in the country sections of Alabama. To begin with, a demonstration wagon pulled by a horse and piloted by an agricultural expert toured the state, spreading its gospel of better farming and rural living conditions. Meetings were held in the smaller country communities. Families came from near and far to learn about the messages offered by the touring agricultural missionary. Home Demonstration Agent Exhibiting the Use of Labor-Saving Devices. The Traveling School Carries this Equipment Demonstrations "how-to-do shows," so to say were features of every meeting. The traveling teacher taught his students how to build poultry houses and other simple farm buildings, how to handle tools, sharpen saws and similar operations. He showed his new friends how to plant, cultivate and harvest their crops and advised them concerning the marketing of those cash crops. He instructed them about the practical methods of live stock farming. The woman folks were not neglected. They were taught how to cook, can, saw and garden. They were also schooled in the A, B, C's of sanitation, farm conveniences, comforts and labor-saving appliances for use in the home. Year after year, this wagon school rambled rural highways and byways. It won friends and supporters wherever it journeyed. Eventually, the stern tests of time shunted it into discard. It wore out and went to pieces. Alabama countrymen came to the rescue. They raised funds by popular subscription, purchased and equipped a motor truck to continue the worth while work. Ultimately this traveling school which runs by gasoline power was donated to the U.S. Department of Agriculture to aid Uncle Sam in his practical missionary work among southern farmers. The new motorized truck carries a complete equipment of farm implements and home conveniences such as the average rural families THE FARMER'S WORK could either purchase or build. A farming expert, a woman demonstration agent skilled in homemaking science and a rural nurse comprise the corps of instructors that travel with the truck. A complete portable motion picture outfit as well as a phonograph and many records are carried for entertainment purposes. This portable schools visits those farming regions of Alabama, in particular, remote from the railroad where the inhabitants are more according to local interest and demands. Usually a run down and neglected farm is selected as the site of the demonstrations. The entire countryside is invited to gather at that particular farm. Classes are formed, forthwith, for improvement activities. One class, for example, cleans the dooryard, plants flower seed and sets out trees and shrubbery procured from neighboring woodlands. Its charge is to beautify the home surroundings as much as possible. Year after year, this nomadic school rambled highways and by-ways. But eventually, the relentless wear and tear of Father Time shunted it into the background. It went to pieces like the "One Hoss Shay." This story tells how friends and supporters rallied to its aid and started it again in its remarkably successful work backward than usual about coming forward in country life development.

Another group is shown how to make durable whitewash and water paint, how to apply these materials and thus improve the appearance of the farm buildings. Others prepare the land and plant a vegetable garden. Small fruit trees and berry bushes are set out. The rural nurse instructs mothers in how to care for their children, how to maintain the home in sanitary and healthful condition, what foods to prepare and the simple home remedies efficient when any of the family become sick. There are many other classes in canning, can-dling eggs, terracing fields, weaving, making rugs and fancy baskets, soap making, lawn building and dyeing cloth.

It is really wonderful to note the changes which occur in one of these Alabama communities after several visits of the efficient school on wheels. Shacks, squalor and shiftlessness disappear as though by magic as a result of the teachings of this emissary of better standards of living. This travelling school has accomplished remarkable results in teaching the farmers to raise cotton successfully despite the regular ravages of the boll weevil, a destructive pest that collects more than $200,000,000 in tribute annually from American cotton growers. For many years now, Uncle Sam has worked in active cooperation with Tuskegee Institute, the notable institution established by Booker T. Washington. The improvement of rural life for colored farmers has been the laudable ambition of this persistent campaign which has paid golden dividends in outstanding achievements. Each day after the school is over, all the students — both young and old — play amusing games under competent direction. Volley ball, tug of war, foot racing, shoe racing and other simple sports. The old folks forget aches and infirmities for the time being and enjoy the contests and sports as thoroughly as do their youthful sons and daughters. Educational motion pictures and phonograph concerts in the evening add enjoyable entertainment to the program. One of the remarkable developments of the school on wheels and its unique training courses has been the establishment of community workshops throughout Alabama. Community groups have been organized in local clubs. Each member pays a small fee — usually several dollars — into a general fund which is used to buy land, build a small workshop and equip it with a complete outfit of community tools. The members gather at this shop on Saturday afternoons and rainy days and repair farming implements, shoe horses, make simple tools and perform other necessary work. Each of these shops and its tools is in the charge of a local custodian. All broken tools must be replaced at the user's expense. Tools can be removed from the community shop only with the custodian's consent. He keeps tab on each and every tool. The members of the club in addition to performing all their personal repair and construction work also do work for neighbors for pay. These clubmen have access to both woodworking and metal-working tools in their community club. Were it not for the cooperative community workshop, these farmers would not be able to afford such hand and power tools. Wherever tested, this community tool owenrship and central workshop scheme has proved practical. It is one of the most popular outgrowths of the Booker T. Washington touring school.
