Bar Association Acts To Find Out Reason For Case's Collapse 100% Satisfaction Guarantee (By A. P. Night Wire) CHICAGO, Nov. 29.—An independent investigation into the cause of the dismissal of the case against Police Lieutenant Phillip Carroll and six others charged with the murder of Octavius Granady, colored politician, on primary day, April 10, 1928, was ordered today by the Chicago Bar association. The case against Carroll and members of his detective squad was no乳 pressed by the state after a direct threat made by Judge Joseph B. David that if the jury should find the defendants guilty, he would set aside the verdict. Judge David was charged with the prosecution of the case, although members of the Jury declared that they had not been influenced by Judge David's rabid criticism of the manner in which the state prosecuted the charges against Carroll and his men. The no乳 prosequi of the case was entered by Prosecutor Loesch after Judge David had several times criticised the testimony of witnesses for the state. Despite the dismissal, the state had produced witnesses who testified that Romance Of Popular Culminates In We Popular Games In Wedd Romance Of Popular Gary Couple Culminates In Wedding; 35 Witness A romance which began a short time before he sought a career as a city legislator ended Sunday morning for Alderman-elect Wilbur J.

Edwards, agent for the Board of Children's Guardians, who has just returned from an extensive trip in Europe where she visited the principal cities and capitals of the Old World. Filled with impressions of her trip across the Atlantic where many new experiences confronted her, Miss Edwards related an interesting account of her trip in an interview today. She declared: "A few days ago, fifteen to be exact, I stood on the Champs Elysees reviewing the military procession before the Arc de Triomphe. As I joined the crowd, thousands there were, filing past the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and laid my humble blossoms amongst the myriad of flowers heaped on that hollowed spot Armistice Day took on a new meaning." "Travelling through the countries of Europe the war with all its horror, destruction and human wastage looms forth more terrible than America realizes. The feeling between one country and another is more or less tense and peace-world peace is yet an ideal to be sought carefully courted but not yet won." "And so, returning to the warmth of family and friends at this Thanksgiving season I cannot but hope that we give thanks for the semblance of peace that is ours and that every individual offer up sincere prayer for universal peace, for love and the spirit of brotherhood between all the people over all the earth." "The Forward Pass" Goes to the Tivoli A real all-youth cast is seen in "The Forward Pass," all-dialogue picture of college life which comes to the Tower Theatre on Friday, November 29th. The average age of the members of the cast is 20. Not a person in the picture is over 25. Loretta Young, who plays the feminine lead, is only 17, and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., who plays opposite her, is just 21. "The Forward Pass" is a story of campus love and football rivalry, and the football thrills are varied by plenty of comedy and a number of very snappy and new songs. One of them, "Up and At 'Em," is a real hit of the season and will soon be sung and played everywhere. It Seems To Me That we should vote the Stewart house a heart of gratefulness and appreciation for the services that that institution is rendering the city of Gary. Service being measured in terms of quality and not in quantities, we often fail to recognize it when it is being rendered. The Stewart house is a Home. It looks out for the unemployed. Promotes wholesome athletics. It is the home of various civic and social clubs. It renders legal and medical aid. It is the home of the Red Cross and the promoter of liberal thinking. There is nothing complicated about this silent ambassador of civic uplift; for behind it stands our Benefactor, Frank Delaney whose intentions are as open as a book. That we should attempt to think more wholesome thoughts. In thought there is solution. In solution there is peace of mind. In peace of mind there is social good will. In social good will there is hope for international harmony. Supreme Court Hits Lower Court Verdict New York—The Supreme Court of Appeals in Virginia, has reversed the conviction on a charge of murder, carrying with it a sentence to life imprisonment, of Thomas Nelson, a colored man. The appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeals, for which the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People contributed $100.00 was made because it was felt Nelson's guilt had not been proven. This contention Justice R. H. L. Chichester upheld, stating in his opinion that "the record fails to point out the perpetrator of the crime with that clearness and certainty required by law." The murder in question was committed on the night of August 5, 1927, of J. H. Allen, an elderly merchant of Albermarle County and of Mrs. Willie Rothwell, his business partner. Bloodhounds put on the trail went in a direction away from the home of the accused. Harlem Not Night Clubs Alone, Say NEW YORK—As an answer to the impression recently created that Harlem life consists largely of night clubs and places of amusement, the New York Evening Journal in its Harlem section is publishing a series of articles by Berta Gilbert, revealing Harlem "not as it is so frequently and luridly painted, but as it is seen and as it exists to the Negro educators, public officials, professional men and women and other leaders who live there." Yesterday's article, on Harlem churches, includes interviews with Dr. Du Bois, as a director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with Walter White, Acting Secretary, and with William Pickens, field secretary. The N.A.A.C.P. has been helping Miss Gilbert to make necessary contacts, so that her series of articles might be as comprehensive as possible.

Allison confessed to shooting Marshall in the rear of 1709 Massachusetts Wednesday night after a quarrel. He claims Marshall set upon him and struck him with an iron pipe. He says he shot in self-defense. Police Deny Theory But Gary police are inclined to discredit Allison's claim. They declare that revenge was the motive for the slaying, the first to happen among Gary's Negro population in several months. Allison was tried and found not guilty of violation of the state liquor law in City Court on November 6, and police have obtained information that since then he has been accusing Marshall, and that he blamed Marshall for his arrest. The two men were heard quarreling a few minutes before the slaying. Then Marshall was found dead in the alley back of his house with a bullet in his heart. Allison fled after the slaying and sought refuge in the home of a cousin at 2156 Jefferson. Fifteen policemen surrounded the place, and when Allison sought to escape, he was halted by a shot from Officer Whalen's gun and surrendered. At police headquarters, he confessed to the slaying, claiming that he shot Marshall when the latter attacked him. Marshall's body was removed to the Smith's funeral home pending the verdict of the coroner's jury.

TAX-FIXING RACKETEERS ROUTED IN CHICAGO AND COOK COUNTY "THE DUGOUT" Gary's Only Dine and Dance CAFE To Open on Or About Saturday, Nov. 28th — AT — 1801 Washington Street Gary, Indiana Music Food Every Time Evening RESERVE YOUR TABLE FOR Reserve Your Table For OPENING NIGHT Call Gary 2-7924 Cover Charge Opening Night 50c Friday, November 29, 1929 HOW the notorious tax fixing racket in Chicago and Cook county was abolished and honesty restored in the assessment of real estate for tax purposes is one of the most interesting stories in the annals of American municipal history. The cleanup was accomplished only after a vigorous fight lasting more than a year and a half, led by Chairman Wm. H. Malone of the Illinois tax commission who was ably supported by the press and civic groups. The revaluation of real property ordered by Chairman Malone marked the first time in the history of Chicago that real estate was assessed for tax purposes on a scientific basis. Following the completion of the reassessment, safeguards were placed around the records to stop tampering and insure a more equitable distribution of the tax burden in the future. Tax fixing in Cook county had its beginning years ago in local politics. Funds to finance political campaigns were easily wrung from corporations and wealthy property owners by threats of heavy assessments. Fear of the politician assessors influenced many to contribute liberally to campaign chests. Heavy contributors were taken care of by "adjusting" their taxes. "Stingy" property owners were "soaked." For many years jobs on the board of assessors and board of review were considered among the most powerful and lucrative in Cook county politics. The tax fixing system was finally extended into the wards and precincts of Chicago. Ward beelers and precinct captains entered the tax fixing game, many soliciting their neighbors and peddling their influence in getting taxes reduced on a percentage basis. Later, shyster lawyers and organized racketeers came into the picture and solicited property owners on a broad scale, charging 25 to 50 per cent of the reduction secured. Many of these racketeers obtained money under the false pretense of securing reductions and paying taxes for their clients; subsequently they absconded with the tax money turned over to them. Thousands of dollars paid out by gullible taxpayers to these strangers never found its way into the county treasury. Citizens who otherwise were law-abiding fell in with the system and paid influential politicians to get their taxes fixed because everybody was doing it. The local board of assessors and board of review were accused by many of collusion. The assessors were suspected of placing the valuations abnormally high so the board of review could lower them that the political machine might cash in on the "adjustments." The state law providing for publication of assessments every four years had been neglected in Cook county for more than 30 years. No property owner knew what his neighbor was paying. The tax fixing racket flourished behind this veil of secrecy. Chairman Malone of the state tax commission precipitated the long fight in December, 1927, when he ordered the local assessment officials to publish assessments by street name and house number so every property owner would know what his neighbor paid. The tax fixers fought this order, threatened Malone with political oblivion, offered innumerable excuses, and did everything they could to dodge the order. Malone urged the special session of the state legislature which was held in June, 1928, to clarify the authority and power of the tax commission, and the reluctant officials were compelled to obey, and in July, 1928, the tax roll was published as ordered six months before. This publication revealed the most flagrant and widespread inequalities in real estate assessment ever witnessed in an American municipality. Chicago newspapers sent reporters and photographers out for weeks recording the work of the tax fixers. Two houses standing side by side and alike in every detail, one taxed 21 times as much as the other, the one owned by a ward committeeman, the other by a taxpayer without influence. is an example of conditions that were rife all over Chicago. Cook county taxpayers filed more than 100,000 complaints with the local board of assessors and board of review, and more than 40,000 suits were filed in the Cook county courts. It would have taken 15 years to try all these cases. The revenue machinery in Cook county had virtually broken down. The entire structure of local government was threatened. Chairman Malone then did the only practicable thing he could do to restore order in Cook county. He M called the tax commission together and issued an order of reassessment for all the land and improvements thereon in Cook county. More than a million pieces of property were involved. The order described definite rules and regulations for carrying out the revaluation on a uniform and impartial basis. Warfare was opened anew. The tax fixers fought the order bitterly. Legal action brought by local officials to scrap the reassessment was unsuccessful. Judge Hugo Friend, of the circuit court, upheld the tax commission declaring the 1927 assessment roll null and void. This decision broke the back of the opposition although their sniping continued. Twenty-eight Chicago clearing house banks which had loaned $140,000,000 to the city of Chicago on tax anticipation warrants based on the 1927 assessment roll became interested when the court declared their security no longer existed. The banks not only raised $25,000 to help finance the reassessment but used their influence to speed up the work of reassessment. A force of more than 1,400 helpers in charge of trained men was employed on the reassessment staff directed by an expert appraiser. Politicians were barred and helpers were employed on merit alone. Chairman Malone finally put the tax fixers in a straight jacket when he and the tax commission issued a second order known as Rule 15. This rule provides that none of the records made by the reassessment staff may be erased or changed, except on written complaint of a tax payer and then only in open public meeting of the board of assessors or board of review. Written records of all changes in assessments must be kept open for public inspection. Meetings behind closed doors, whispered conferences and promiscuous changing of the records by taxing of officials, clerks, and racketeers will be abolished. The work of assessing property and levying taxes is being divorced from politics, and placed on an honest and equitable basis. The reassessment now complete has attracted nation-wide attention. Small property owners everywhere are reaping the benefit of a reduced tax. The tax fixers and those who profited by the inquiries of the old system how, but civic organizations, the press, and an overwhelming majority of citizens are praising Malone for his courage and fearlessness in smashing the tax fixing racket.

THE NEW INDUSTRIAL PHILOSOPHY "High wage levels, while originally an incidence of labor scarcity and later of war time demands and inflation, have become a distinct element of American economic life," says Magnus W. Alexander, President of the National Industrial Conference Board. "In fact, a definite philisophy has arisen from the relationships of high wages, intensive productivity and national purchasing power. May be said that the trend of American business policy today is toward creation of widespread consumer purchasing by providing high wages and wage values which, in turn, tend to raise the standards of living among the masses. This attitude on the part of employers is a phenomenon found nowhere else in the world. The industrial philosophy of the past was to earn profits by keeping wages at a minimum. The industrial philisophy of the present is to earn profits while increasing wages to the maximum, thus providing a larger market for all products. As a result, Americans have most of the automobiles in the world; they have the best homes, schools and amusements. The unemployment problem is minimized. Labor disputes seldom arise when they do are usually settled peacefully by boards of arbitration. The upshot of the whole matter is that labor is no longer considered an inanimate commodity, subject to the law of supply and demand, but a partner in American progress. Prosperity, to be relied upon, must be general. We go forward as more of the luxuries of life, in addition to the necessities, find their way into the average American home.

The industrial philisophy of the present is to earn profits while increasing wages to the maximum, thus providing a larger market for all products. As a result, Americans have most of the automobiles in the world; they have the best homes, schools and amusements. The unemployment problem is minimized. Labor disputes seldom arise and when they do are usually settled peacefully by boards of arbitration. The upshot of the whole matter is that labor is no longer considered an inanimate commodity, subject to the law of supply and demand, but a partner in American progress. Prosperity, to be real and permanent, must be general. We go forward as more of the luxuries of life, in addition to the necessities, find their way into the average American home.

The tale of the taming of Borger, the wild town of Texas, whose recent record of 30 murders and general lawlessness gave it the name of the "Sodom of the Prairies," is reminiscent of the colorful days of the past when "the six-gun made all men equal." The Texas rangers subdued the Borger "wild men." The Minneapolis Tribune, in commenting on the Borger situation, resurrects a legend of the rangers. "It has to do with one Espinosa, shooting pride of bandit bands, the Tribune says: "Espinosa flipped a quarter of a dollar in the air with his right hand and with the same drew his revolver and blew it to bits before it touched the ground. He met a Texas ranger who shot him three times while he reached for his gun. "The record of the Texas rangers has proved that a man who believes in law and shoots straight may be a bulwark in the constitution of the nation and the state. As the best men at every affair of sidearms such men have been invaluable to every state in the West. Their psychological effect is greater than a regiment of cavalry or a company of machine guns as the record proves. One wonders what effect a little straight shooting by our citizens would have on the criminals who infest our country. Perhaps a little more of the spirit of the rangers and a little less of the spirit of the professional law-passers and reformers, is needed to clean up the American underworld.

AFRAID OF BEING ROBBED, SAMPSON BURIED HIS MONEY AND HE DROPPED DEAD THE SAME NIGHT! ```markdown ``` True Stories Achievement Stories W. B. Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, Foreign Advertising Representatives AFRAID BURIED DEAD T This picture shows the place where the buried fortune of Sampson was unearthed. By SOL HOLMES ROBERT Nordick Sampson found several thousand dollars in Spanish coin twenty-five years ago, and he was very happy, indeed. He thought that the end of his poverty stricken days had arrived, but he soon discovered that he had not guessed with a safe degree of accuracy. For instead of the end of his poverty, Robert Sampson faced the end of his life. He died when he exerted himself digging a deep hole in the ground, to keep his money from falling into the possession of bandits who he had heard through a reliable source meant to rob him that night. No stranger story has ever been told thanhe story which is related by the colored people living in and around Benton, Missouri. It would do justice to the work of Edgar Allen Poe, rivalling the touch of the master of the American detective story. Robert Nordick Sampson was an extraordinary character. He had many friends. He had never wronged anyone in his life, and he was trusted by all. When he gave his word, it was as good as gold. The only thing wrong with Robert Sampson was, that he took a little drink now and then. Because he drank, Sampson lost his health. The doctor told him that he had a bad heart and should not exert himself if he expected to live to a ripe old age. Such things as digging in the hard ground, or climbing trees to pick apples were the wrong kind of businesses for Sampson and the sooner he realized it the better off he would be. He was ad- Fai Excha Gary American After 25 Years the Famous Treasure, Which the Unfortunate Owner Buried, is at Last Unearthed by a Lucky Stranger on the Old Sampson Place.

Presently the Sampson secret became common property But Sampson did not have to exert himself. His wife was afflicted with over-exertion. She couldn't keep the secret to herself. She expostulated at considerable length about how her husband had plowed up a fortune in old Spanish coins. There was half of a bushel basket full of these silver pieces, and a gentleman in the East had made Sampson a good offer for the ancient money. There would be enough, by and large, to buy a little home in town, and take things easily. There would be no occasion for worry, for the cupboard would always be heavily laden with good things to eat—beef and pork and dried fruit, such as Sampson liked. It wouldn't be long, so now they waited patiently for the wealthy gentleman from the East to appear in order to leave some of his hard silver money in place of the heavy Spanish coins Sampson kept hidden about the house. One neighbor woman relayed the story to another neighbor woman, and that ```markdown ``` 25 Years the Fate asure, Which the U state Owner Buried, It Unearthed by a anger on the Old Sam ce. the deceased fortune finder on which he dropped dead. woman told another neighbor woman. Presently the Sampson secret became common property. However, Sampson had a few friends, and they took pity on him. They thought it a shame that his wife talked so much. She told everything she knew. She should have known enough to keep her mouth closed tightly. She couldn't expect anything else except robbery. There were many men in the neighborhood who possessed no sympathy for other men, as long as they had money; therefore the fact that the Sampson family had once been poor should not act as a detriment to robbers. Sampson listened and nodded his head sagely. He understood the situation. His wife was doing wrong, but she had always had her way and it was entirely too late to "teach an old woman new tricks." Then when Sampson was informed by an intimate friend one day, that his home would be visited that evening by robbers, he did not wait for Robbery--- "When he had excavated to a sufficient depth, he covered the money over, took his pick and shovel and started bark to the house.

Why not thing beat them at their own there game! Such things had been done, and such things could be done again. A man didn't have to act a fool if he had sense enough to be smart. Consequently, Sampson decided to take instant action. When he had reached a decision, he did not hesitate. He promptly found a pick and shovel, an after assuring himself that he was not watched, he took the money to a hidden part of a corn field and buried it. He worked too strenuously, therefore he disobeyed the doctor's instructions, and when he had excavated to a sufficient depth, he covered the money over, took his pick and shovel and started back to the house.

Mrs. Sampson was alone with her dead husband when the bandits came. They arrived a few moments following the doctor’s departure, and before Mrs. Sampson could let her neighbors know that her husband had gone to his rest. The bandits swept into the room where the corpse lay and made short work of the search for the money. They quickly thrust the muzzle of a pistol against the breast of Mrs. Sampson and ordered her to disclose the hiding Place of the money, which she swore she couldn't do.

Colored Church Praised in New Book REZIGION LENDS A HAND, by James ‘Myers, Harper and Brethers. A colored church has been chosen as the example of outstanding social service work among all the churches of the country. white or colored, by James Myers, Industrial Secretary for the Commission of the Church and Social Service of the Federal Coun- cil of the Churches of Christ in America. In his new book, “Religion Lends Hand,” published by Harper's, Mr. Myers devotes an entire chapter to the work of St. Phillip’s Episcopal Church, of New York, of which the Rev. Dr. Hutchens C. Bishop is the rector. Mr. Myers says: _, “With its staff of trained workers, its splendid equipment, its compre- hensive program, St. Philip’s ranks among the leading churches for col- ored people in the United States. And perhaps no church, white or colored, presents a more balanced program of work and worship.” ‘The author has special praise for Miss Mabel Bickford, the social serv- ice worker.

THE WENTWORTH FAMILY—Consists of Saint Julien de Chatigny Wentworth, Polly Wentworth, and Mrs. Wentworth, their widowed mother. The family is more aristocratic than wealthy. Mamba has an uncannily clever understanding of the ruling white class and also possesses a naturally deep and unusually rich contraste voice. The Wentworths were unable to pay Mamba, but Mamba was so devoted to the family that she was satisfied with her board and the opportunity of acting as maid to Polly, a young lady of inherited social prominence. Polly was very apt in school, but Saint was a disappointment to everyone in the Wentworth family except Mamba, whose keen insight into human nature enabled her to see latent ability even though he did not respond creditably to the school system. Mamba alone understood Saint. HAGAR—Mamba's giant, muscular, slow-witted daughter, had an inordinate liking for strong drink, much to Mamba's distress. Two qualities she had in common with Mamba, namely, a fine contralto voice and a large body. Mamba had said Hagar was "born for trouble." LISSA—Hagar's daughter, was the object of Mamba's sacrifice and the cause of Mamba's constant remonstrances against Hagar's habit. Mamba leaves the Wentworths for the Atkinsons, who are also wealthy, incidentally more wealthy than aristocratic—in order that she may obtain more pay. In the meritime Saint obtains a five dollar a week job as storekeeper at the mines and begins a business career. One of Hagar's encomades leads her into a brawl with a Negro, whom she belabors with so much severity that she is arrested and charged with aggravated assault. Hagar is given a two-year suspended sentence. Mamba sends her to Saint for a job at the mines. Hagar astonishes the miners by performing a man's work. She turns her caravals over to Mamba, who saves them for Lissa. At a combination church service and "Love Feast" Hagar (whose new name is Baxter) befriends Bluton, a very much despised mulatto, by carrying him to a city hospital after he has been seriously "slashed" by one of the frolickers. Under Hagar's suspended sentence, she was forbidden to come within the city limits and she barely escapes prison again. The season's most exclusive social event among the white folk is the ball of the St. Cocelia society. The Atkinsons are clated over their invitation to attend this event, consequently they invite Mr. Atkinson's pretty niece, Valerie, to attend as their guest. Mamba takes Lissa, who is now about ten years of age, to the Wentworth home While there, Lissa is found to be developing into a very beautiful girl. Saint and Valerie, having met at the St. Cocelia Ball, later declare their love for each other. The Reverend Thomas Grayson, a newcomer from New York, appears as the mining camp. He studied divinity in New England and came to the village intending to help his people in other fields besides religion. He is immediately recognized as a rival of the Reverend Whaley, the village sky-pilot. At church the Reverend Grayson notices Baxter's (Hagar) fine contralto voice. In turn Baxter is very much impressed with Reverend Grayson's modern philosophy of life. She begins to doubt the more superstitious preachments of the Reverend Whalevy. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY INSTALLMENT IX During the ensuing week the new pastor was an industrious parochial visitor. There was something definitely wrong, some maladjustment between himself and his flock that pointed toward disaster if it were not quickly located and rectified. He reasoned that by adroit questioning he could draw his parishioners out and ascertain the trouble. But when he found the Negroes at home he had encountered an attitude with which he was incapable of dealing. If they could not avoid him, they greeted him with a sort of negative cordiality. They would smile and ask him to sit, then disappear within themselves, speak only of abstractions, be deliberately vague and noncommittal. When he had touched on the subject of church or religion they had smiled again, and if it seemed the part of politeness so say something in reply, they had, still smiling, remarked that times were certainly hard for a country "nigger," that last winter had been unusually cold, or that no food served so well to sweeten the mouth as hominy and a fat fried porgy. There was nothing to lay hold upon. He began to experience a sense of vast futility. And his money was nearly exhausted. The experiment had been his own idea, and he had had to depend upon what he could raise from private sources. He had hoped to make an instantaneous success that would win full backing for The Stormy C A man in a suit stands in the foreground, pointing towards a group of men in suits and hats.

And due to his diminutive size he was nicknamed "Lil' Arthur." the mission from the board. But now failure was staring him in the face. Grayson was particularly puzzled by the behavior of Cora, the mother of Davy, who served him as housekeeper. She had been a regular attendant at church, and when he had talked with her in her small, immaculately kept kitchen, she had a way of looking into his face with a candid and trustful gaze that seemed incapable of concealment or deception. But now, as the momentous week advanced, he noticed that there were long, unexplained absences, and that the dishes often stood unwashed after a meal. Finally, upon entering the kitchen silently, he found her with her face buried in her apron while her body shook with deep, elemental sobs. An overwhelming wave of pity rendered him suddenly speechless. He had tried so hard and so unsuccessfully to be understood that his self-confidence was shaken. This was the sort of opportunity or which he had been hoping, when he might enter into the sorrows of his people and let his heart speak in actions as well as words. But ow he experienced a feeling of utter impotence. It came to him that the words that he could speak would be mere empty symbols uttered in foreign tongue. He crossed the room and dropped a hand gently on the heaving shoulder. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—November 30. 1929 $26 REWARD TO ANYONE STAYING 4 ROUNDS BOB THOMPSON When Bob Thompson came to Galveston he offered twenty-five dollars to anyone who would stay four rounds with him. Jack accepted the challenge, but barely stayed the four rounds, for Thompson whipped him in such a manner that it was two weeks before he could venture forth to spend the twenty-five dollars. The startled woman looked up into his face with an expression that changed from grief to sudden fright. "Tell me, Cora," he urged, "what can I do for you?" "Lemme go home," she sobbed. "Ah gets to go now." "Certainly," he assured her, "go at once, and I'll go home with you. If you are in trobule I want to share it with you." "No, no," she cried in panic. "Yo' stay here. Ah'll come back. Ain't nuttin' yo' can do." Then she was gone in a heavy lumbering run down the road in the direction of her cabin. Two days passed and Cora failed to reappear. Now Grayson's visits seemed even more fruitless than early in the week, for the village was deserted. For the most part he found only children at the cabins, children and the ubiquitous yellow curs. The pickaninnies gaped at him when he questioned, but the curs with their singular instinct for sensing the moods of their owners followed him to the gates, hanging just out of reach, with their small sharp teeth bared. Finally, on Friday morning, he met Wentworth, who was swinging along the sandy road with a package under his arm. "I suppose you're on you way to Cora's," hazarded the white man. "It's too bad about her trouble, and Davy's badly knocked out by it, too. He was devoted to the little fellow, used to bring him to the store pretty much every afternoon." "Cora's trouble?" inquired Grayson, and Saint was surprised by the agitation reflected in his face. "Why, yes. She lost her youngest child last night.. It has been in desperate shape for a week. The whole village has been sitting around out there with her I thought you might have noticed, I am taking her along some mourning and a little money for the burial saucer." While the two had been talking they had proceeded in the direction of the cabin, which lay well beyond the regular confines of the village and now, through the clear, resonant air, they caught the distant strains of a spiritual. Very distinctly the music sounded across the distance, not the robust shouting like that of a Sunday morning service, but the shrill, agonized voices of many women, each of whom had personalised the desolation of the mother and made it her own, and, trampling along an octave below them, the mellow, flexible beauty of a single tremendous bass. Saint cast a sidelong glance at his companion and saw the broad, benevolent face go ashen, the eyes light with a spurt of naked pain. He spoke impulsively: "I'm awfully worry. I didn't think you cared so much, and I thought you would have known. They sent for Whaley three nights ago, and he hasn't left the house since. He is going to hold the funeral THE BOXING FIGHT Up to this display of fistic prowess, Jack had not made definite plans for a boxing career. However, his decision to try for ring honors was hastened when he stayed four rounds with Bob Thompson who was then a fighter of considerable prominence. "The girl's voice was begin ning to attract attention." services to-morrow afternoon. They don't change quickly back here, you see, and he knows their ways." There was silence except for the sound of singing that shook the air with its unearthly harmonies. Grayson had stopped in the road. Finally, in a shaken voice, he said: "I can't go on, Mr. Wentworth. My heart is breaking with that woman's sorrow, and if I went to her I'd only give her pain." For a full minute he stood silently, his face working with emotion. Habit had carried his hand to a small gold cross that hung on a black cord from his neck, and he fingered it absently. Saint could think of nothing to say but a trite, "I'm sorry." Then he saw the face that he had come to think of as being insensitive, almost stolid, quiver, and the eyes fill slowly with tears. At last, still fingering the little cross with an unconscious mechanical movement, Grayson turned slowly on his heel and commenced to retrace his steps toward his cabin. From the house of mourning swept the music of the dirge. Shrill, monotonous, unvarying, it throbbed across ```markdown ``` FRED B. HARRIS In spite of Jack's growing progress and prestige in pugilism his mother and father prevailed upon him not to neglect his education. Jack did not extend his schooling very far, but in deference to them, he managed to complete the grammar grades. the sunny afternoon with its burden of human desolation, and always under the shrill grief of the women marched the sustaining beauty and power of the single enormously vital bass. --- Sunday morning was ushered in with a triumphant clanging from the old meeting house. Groups arrived, laughing and chattering, and filled the building to its doors. When the crowd had jammed its way in, Reverend Whaley started them off with a rousing spiritual. With one accord they flung themselves into it. It was good to be back with the old agreeable God again, the God who wanted them to sing and shout, to pour their sorrow out in a flood of song, who minded his own business most of the time and had a pleasant, laughing way with him when he touched upon theirs. Yes, they were foolish to have strayed for even a few misguided weeks. In the new church Grayson sat alone, listening to the uproar with (Continued on page 4) MAMBA’S DAUGHTERS Headache ’ we << ol ef : ioe, as Be Aw See eee ¢ can fey lO St.Joseph’s Pww ASPIRIN 4 1Continsed from page 3) an expression of deep sadness upon his habitually solemn: face.

Then he saw that it was the woman known as Baxter. = “Have. you come to worship with me?” he asked. Hagar nodded violently but said nothing. Grayson’s heavy face caught 4a fleeting gleam from an inner light. “Then we'll have our service just as though the church was full,” he as- sured her. He retired and donned his vest- ments, then asked her to come and sit just below the reading desk on the front bench while he held service. Vast and submissive, she went for- ward and took her seat before him. While he went through the service, omitting only the sermon, she kept her eyes on his face with an expres- sion of dumb, uncomprehending steadfastness. Grayson pronounced the benedic- tion, then came and sat beside her. ‘Then he said, “I am very grateful to you for coming to-day. You have put new heart into me.” Baxter was overcome with embar- rassment, but she managed to say. “T’ank yo’, suh.” A silence followed during which the woman's embarrassment height- ened to actual distress.

Lo At the very moment when Baxter entered the new church, a conference which also bore directly upon the destinies of the Reverend Thomas Grayson was taking place upon the sunny piazza of a bungalow near the Company’s office. It had an appear- ance of great casualness about it. Two white men had been sitting there since breakfast, enjoying their pipes and the long Sunday quiet.

He is a sinking for street, where his company is the Irving Trust Company' building. This building will piece of land in the world, on ney Corner." THE physical safety of nearly $100,000,000 worth of property at Wall street and Broadway, New York City, besides the security of many lives, is today in the hands of a solitary Negro, Luke Wyche, 34, of New York City. He is a sinking foreman on a job at No. 1 Wall street, where his company is putting in the foundation for the Irving Trust Company's magnificent new 50-story building. This building will stand on the most valuable piece of land in the world, on the site of the historic "Chimney Corner." Wyche holds the highest position obtainable among compressed air workers and is the only Negro in America today, if not in the world, having such a responsibility. He is a member of the Union of Compressed Air and Foundation Workers' Local 63, and is especially licensed to Luke Wyche, whose unique position has enabled him to qualify as a Luke Wyche, whose unique position with the Foundation company, has enabled him to qualify as an expert in handling dynamite. handle dynamite within the airotic Wall Street operation, which was chambers of the caissons sunk 60 feet below the street and subway level on the Wall Street operation. Wyche is boss foreman of one of the three 8-hour shifts, and is assigned to the most important tasks. To date, Wyche seclares that he has discharged more than 500 pounds of dynamite in the new Irving Trust foundation. On the night of August 31 alone, he used 70 sticks of this dangerous explosive without causing the slightest variation in the position of surrounding skyscrapers. This is checked daily by engineers. completed with the assistance of the Foundation Company. On this job engineers and foremen alike were puzzled by their inability to "straighten up" one of the compressed air caissons, and therefore could not continue with the work. Mr. Snyder called Wyche, who explained the cause, straightened the compressed air chamber, but kept his method a secret. Wyche has been with the Foundation Company since 1919, when he began as a "sand hog" at $4 a day. He now earns $400 a month. Wyche The Foundation Company, Wyche said, has posted bonds to insure all surrounding property against damage. Most important and dangerous is the work of blasting rock beneath the subway station at No. 1 Wall Street, where a crack in the floor or walls, or the loosening of a single beam or screw-jack would spell disaster and exact a toll of many lives. Wyche alone is permitted to handle explosives on this job. Wyche Highly Skilled Assistant Superintendent Samuel Snyder, white, said, in an interview with the reporter, "Wyche is the best man we have. We brought him from another job to handle this work here. which is the fastest and most important undertaking we will have done. The foundation work here will be completed one month ahead of schedule time, on November 1, just four months after starting, when the steel workers will begin. Fifteen years ago this job would have required ten months to finish." Superintendent L. C. Craft, white, was also enthusiastic in his praise of Wyche, and it is reported that President Bryson will pension Wyche is case-of physical disability from any cause whatever. For a number of years the Foundation Company has been performing "impossible" feats --- nearly $100,000,000 worth of pet and Broadway, New York city of many lives, is today in no, Luke Wyche, 34, of New foreman on a job at No. 1 Wall putting in the foundation for its magnificent new 50-story stand on the most valuable the site of the historic "Chim- of engineering in all parts of the world. In 1928 Wyche was awarded a certificate of superior craftsmanship by the New York Building Congress, 101 Park avenue for his work on the foundation of the Bank of New York and Trust Company, another gigan- n with the Foundation company, an expert in handling dynamite. tic Wall Street operation, which was completed with the assistance of the Foundation Company. On this job engineers and foremen alike were puzzled by their inability to "straighten up" one of the compressed air caissons, and therefore could not continue with the work. Mr. Snyder called Wyche, who explained the cause, straightened the compressed air chamber, but kept his method a secret. Wyche has been with the Foundation Company since 1919, when he began as a "sand hog" at $4 a day. He now earns $400 a month. Wyche has worked on such important structures as the Holland Tunnel, Bell Telephone Building, Standard Oil Building, Federal Reserve, Bank of Manhattan, Bank of America, and the Equitable Trust, where a derrick fell and killed several men, and the Delaware River Bridge at Philadelphia. Plays Fair With All When Wyche received the Building Congress award he shared honors with a friend and fellow worker, Jimmy Murphy, an Irish boss foreman, who seemed to be as proud of Wyche as he was of the award that he, too, received. Wyche is the only Negro to be so honored by the congress. For several years Wyche was a gang foreman, and received his promotion to sinking foreman in the spring of this year, following an exhaustive investigation and test by his employers covering a period of five years. Their chief concern was whether or not Wyche could successfully manage the white workers who would be directly under him, and receive also the proper co-operation of pipe fitters, stone masons, derrick engineers, carpenters and others whose work must dovetail with his own. Wyche astonished company officials with his practical and technical knowledge of compressed air operations, during an extended oral test. --- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION-November 30,1929 The image is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. Photo of the foundation work by the Foundation Company for the new 50-story Irving Trust building, now under construction. Mr. Wyche's work is an essential part of the work here shown. When asked how he overcame the racial element on the job, Wyche replied, "I attribute my success to playing fair with white and colored workers alike, and making friends of them all. I am personally acquainted with over 500 workers in New York City alone, and I have been in the homes of many of th. white workers and have helped them often. My advice to the Negro worker is this: Become very interested in your employer and the things he is trying to do, in order that he may take an interest in you. Also, be willing to give up some of your pleasures so that you can do better work on the job." In spite of all he could do, Wyche said, much bitterness and low muttering followed his promotion, and at times he was threatened with physical violence. He stood his ground, however, and routed his enemies by the sheer strength of his knowledge, efficiency, and the spirit of fair play, but as well by letting it be known that he would fight fire with fire and would not tolerate intimidation. At no time in his career has Wyche ever been a strike breaker. On the contrary, as a member of the executive board of Local 63 he was instrumental during strike periods in helping the union secure many of its demands. Local 63 is a part of the American Federation of Labor, with offices in the Bible Building in Astor Place, New York City. Defended His Country Wyche was a member of the famous Tenth Cavalry in 1916, in Mexico, where he was wounded in the knee and removed to a hospital in San Francisco, Cal. In the same hospital was Lieutenant O. M. Baldinger, white, Wyche's superior officer, who was badly wounded and had just been made a captain. The two men became very friendly. Captain Baldinger revealed that his father was one of the officers of the Foundation Company and gave Wyche a letter of introduction to him. In addition to this the captain also gave him the following letter of general introduction: To Whom It May Concern: This is to state that Private Luke Wyche served in my company over a year, while I was on duty in Hawaii, and during that time he was an exemplary soldier. I have found him sober, industrious, truthful, honest and enthusiastic. It is a pleasure to recommend him highly and to answer personal correspondence regarding him at any time. (Signed) Captain O. M. Baldinger. To indicate the deep friendship be- Photo of the foundation work by the der construction. tween them, Captain Baldinger introduced Wyche to his mother, Mrs. E. G. Baldinger, 1512 Brambleton avenue, Norfolk, Va., who received Wyche very cordially and invited him to remain at her home for several days. The Captain's note read: "Mother—This is one of my soldiers in Hawaii and a fine boy. He can tell you all about me." America entered the great World War before Wyche was able to use his letter of introduction to the Foundation Company, and he enlisted in the 25th United States Infantry. He went to Des Moines to study for an officer's commission but was disqualified on account of the condition Some years ago a door on a compressed air chamber blew off and Wyche sustained a fractured skull. For a short time last spring, Wyche worked with the Mason and Hangar Company, Inc., 94 Furman street, Brooklyn, N.Y., who are constructing the new Interborough Rapid Transit tunnel beneath the East River at Cranberry street, Brooklyn. While on this job, Wyche's brother, Howard gave his life on April 15 last and thus saved the lives of forty workmen of various nationalities during a tunnel accident.

When completed, the Irving Trust Company will have the second largest vaults in the world, between 60 and 70 feet below sea level, or three stories down below the street, size 100 feet by 43 feet. The vaults are being built of concrete and drill steel, and will be water-proof, fire-proof, burglar-proof, and immune to heavy gunning in time of war.

After that, Midas moving through the village—smiles showing wide and ever wider stretches of glittering yellow metal. And the spry little dentist happening by now and then to see how things were getting along, driving a twin-six that pulled up a great dust cloud wherever he went. Now the commissary was getting its share of checks that seemed to vie with one another to see how soon they could vanish the day they arrived, and Gilly Bluton, who, strangely enough, had not been called, with his eyes everywhere, keener than ever at discovering unlicensed curs about the yards, and participants in hidden crap games. Now labor was growing scarce and wages were soaring. The result was obvious: three days a week in the pits for the men who were left instead of six. Why should a man in his good senses work a whole week when in half that time he could earn enough to keep alive and have a plenty of time to lie perfectly flat in warm sand, absorbing sun, or gossip on the store piazza? And so the camp developed a leisure class that loitered gloriously through the late summer and into the long autumnal quiet. Letters came from the boys in concentration and training camps which were brought to Saint to read. They were having the time of their lives and sent photographs of themselves with chests straining at bronze buttons. Truly the war cloud that hung over half the world and cast its malign shadow across millions of hearts had nothing for this forgotten corner of black America but a gleam from its silver lining. But over the old city across the narrow Ashley the shadow was widening. When Saint went to church now with his mother he saw the service flag with its fifty-five stars hanging in the vestibule, and, as the months passed, gold, commenced to take the place of the white. Three of his boyhood friends gone now! He went to headquarters and made another effort to be transferred to active service. He told them the whole truth about his job. But they were too busy now to listen to old stories with new twists to them, and he was sent back to the mines to wait.

An unsteady voice called, "De blood put he maak on me." The line was caught up by the packed assemblage, and the spiritual crashed out in the little meeting house. In twos and threes the congregation commenced to slip out, while those that remained kept the spiritual going. Finally there were only a few left. The young lawyer was frankly disgusted. He had been wasting his time on a bunch of crazy Negroes, and they had walked out on him without so much as a single donation. He got into his overcoat, and called the two pretty nurses. There was no use fooling around with this sort of thing. Suddenly the chorus swelled up again, and he saw that they were coming back. Into the church they packed and commenced to come forward to the platform. Then he saw that they had money in their hands, coppers, nickels, and here and there even a dollar bill. They came and piled it before bill. Every penny in the village. They gave their tears, and the outpouring of human sympathy was a presence in the room. After that, in the black belt, there was the first glimmer of realisation of the stupendous tragedy that was raging beyond the city somewhere out in the void. Then the draft: thirty prime boys from the camp, dressed in their Sunday clothes, waiting in the road before Baggart's office, not knowing a great deal about it all—very excited and self-important—boasting inordinately. Women—lots of them, crowding about, with the memory of the Red Cross speech in their minds, and an old, dark jungle terror of the unknown stiffening their faces, widening their eyes, and here and there ripping free in a gust of hysteria. An incredibly ancient crone, whose mind had slipped a cog and snapped back seventy years, peering from half-blind eyes and wailing: "Dey's goin' tuh sell um tuh de sugar-cane fields. Ah knows it. Dey's goin' sen' um tuh Louisiana, an' we ain't nebber goin' see um no mo. Oh, Gawd, hab a little pity." A month since the men had gone; then, one bright day, Saint called the women to the commissary plaza and distributed envelopes from the government that contained the first separation allowances. Everybody rich now—excitement—laughter—and the dark fear forgotten. The thirty women who had been wept over when the men went away were now objects of envy in the village. Strange talk in the air—something about "Gold Star mothers"—mystery. Then the spry little dentist who came and explained it all to everybody's satisfaction. So it was not "Gold Star." after all, but gold tooth mothers, and the government "wanted the women to come to the dentist's Why worry about delayed periods from unnatural causes.

At first, in the canteen at Havre, it had the thrill of adventure about it, and I wished for you. But then the boys were going out. Now, here in the hospital, they are coming back, and my heart breaks into little pieces every day. If it were not for two of the old New York crowd who were wounded while serving in a camouflage unit and who are here in the hospital, I don't know what I would do. Then another time she said: My boys are getting better, but their nees are gone. Imagine sending an artist into it! Of course, camouflage is playing an important part in the war, but it is a terrible thing to keep the boys under fire. They are tremendously grave about it, but they have spent their lives learning to see clearly and feel keenly, and they can't protect themselves as well as the others, and they have to pay so dearly. Saint's fingers closed over he insensate letter as though it were a part of the girl who had written it, and he felt her slipping out of his grasp. For the first time in his life he was furiously jealous. His blood seethed with rebellion. He strode about the little room with fists clinched and angry tears forcing themselves into his eyes, making him feel more useless and futile than ever. He heard someone rapping on the counter to call him to the store. The sound came as the crowning and ultimate indignity. He flung owen his door and stood gifaring into the room. Bluton was leaning against the counter. "Lemme have a couple cigars," he called, and like an insult Wentworth heard the metallic ring of silver on wood. Instead of going behind the counter he crossed the floor, his heels hit- Almost Wild With Eczema Happy Today When the dreadful itching of eczema drives you frantic and you are praying for relief you need Peterson's Ointment.

World's Largest Distributors of Race Records By Mail ting hard, his fists clenched. When he was within two feet of Bluton the Negro looked up and saw his face. His expression was one of ludicrous surprise. He backed away several steps, with the white man closing in upon him. Then the surprise in his eyes gave place to a flicker of fear. A wave of exultation swept over Wentworth. Exquisite tremors shook his muscles, then passed, leaving them pulled tight. He said in a hard, level voice: "Get out!" The Negro backed rapidly toward the door; then, with the opening: his back, he spoke: "What de matter? Ah ain't done nuttin'" He was palpably afraid, and the knowledge of it flamed through Saint like an intoxicant. He closed the remaining distance that separated them and caught Bluton by the coat collar. The Negro went slack in his grasp, waiting, terrified and inert, babbling softly and incoherently with loose lips. Saint swung him around, thrust him through the door, and kicked him squarely off the piazza. Bluton lit and drew himself together for a bolt. "Stop." Saint commanded The word brought the Negro up like a tautened lariat, catching him in the very act of springing and pulling him about. Saint looked him squarely in the eyes and said: "I just want to tell you that I've got something on you that will put you up for ten years. It's all ready for you, and it's locked up in the office of a town lawyer. If you ever stick a leg in this store again I'll have you arrested. Get that? And if you take it out on any of my Negroes, it's the same thing. Now, get to hell out of here." There was an ashy tinge to Bluton's complexion. Without a word the man turned on his heel. Wentworth opened and closed his flats several times, examining them in an impersonal and detached manner. Then he gave a short, exultant laugh and put a question to the pines: "Now, where in the world did I get that from?" He stood pondering the question, his head bowed, his brow furrowed. Slowly the answer came to him. In the beginning he had unthinkingly taken the estimate of others on Bluton. The Negroes feared him, and fear is contagious. The white men at the mines believed him dangerous on account of his connection with Baggart, and he had adopted their attitude of tactful and expedient handling. Now, suddenly, he had encountered the Negro in a moment when his own rebellion had freed him from an habitual attitude of mind. He had been no one but himself. He had acted spontaneously on instinct, and the result had been electrifying. For the first time in his life he experienced that wonder and elation that comes from a successfully executed bluff. For the first time he realised the advantage that lies with the aggressor. The two men who represented suc- (Continued on pane nine) MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS (Continued from page eight) cess to him came to his mind: Atkinson and Raymond. They did not sit waiting on the defensive. They had gone out and taken the world by the collar as he had done Bluton. Very well, he would do the same. If he couldn't go to France, he would at least get after the job here with hammer and tongs. He would go to town to-mcrow and put himself at the service of the central committee for work in the mining district, and at the same time he would drop in and tell Mr. Raymond the straight story of the episode with Bluton The following morning, when Wentworth appeared at the general offices on Broad Street, he was shown at once into the sanctum of the manager. Mr. Raymond rose and shook hands warmly. His eyes were quizzical as he rested them on the face of his storekeeper. He never knew quite what to expect from Wentworth. He said: "I have just sent a message out to the mines asking you to come in. Something has happened out there that I want to discuss with you." Saint reddened, but he said firmly: "I kicked him out of the store; that's all. I knew I would have to some day, and yesterday was the day. If you don't mind I'll tell you my story now, then leave it to you." The employer regarded him with a grin. "Oh, so you kicked him out, did you? Go ahead. Who was he, and why?" Saint told his story briefly, then sat back in his chair awaiting the verdict. In a voice that gave no indication of his feelings, Raymond remarked: "You have your own way of running things rather independently of the Company, haven't you?" Then, without waiting for a reply, he continued, "Well, I didn't know about the Bluton kicking. There was something else that I wanted to talk over with you. Yesterday Goodlow chucked his job. War pickings are too fat for him to resist. He's just the sort who would go in for them. Left us high and dry without a manager for the stores." The completeness with which Saint had given himself to his new philosophy was demonstrated in his immediate response. He leaned across the desk, looked point-blank into his employer's eyes and said: "You've got to give me that job, Mr. Raymond. You've just got to." "And have you kick my customers out of the front door?" "You'll have to leave that to me, sir. You'll have to let me run things my own way. But if you do, I'll promise to give you everything I've got in me." The big man got to his feet and held out his hand. "That's all that an employer can ask," he said with a smile. "Shake on it, and I'll be out to-morrow at ten to go over the details with you." Nineteen hundred and eighteen—a hectic year.

AGENTS WANTED HUMAMA HAIR CO. 10-12 East 23rd St., New York To End a Cough In a Hurry, Mix This at Home To end a stubborn cough quickly, it is important to soothe and heal the inflamed membranes, get rid of the germs and also to aid the system inwardly to help throw off the trouble. For these purposes, here is a homemade medicine, far better than anything you could buy at 3 times the cost. From any druggist, get $2\frac{1}{2}$ ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to fill up the pint. This takes but a moment, and makes a remedy so effective that you will never do without, once you have used it. Keeps perfectly, and children like it. This simple remedy does three necessary things. First, it loosens the germ-laden phlegm. Second, it soothes away the inflammation. Third, it is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. This explains why it brings such quick relief, even in the severe bronchial coughs which follow cold epidemics.

Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—November 30.1929 Here is youthful vigor for you.

That they appreciate this help in evidenced by their many grateful letters and word-of-mouth praise. the job. But out in the mining campdew was still unshaken from the morning grass, sun still poured gracious warmth on laxed bodies, full moons lifted over vast marshes, pulled their flood tides high into salt creeks, then released them to dwindle seaward again. Nothing was changed deeply. It was as though the fossils beneath the feet of the living spoke to them out of their long death, telling them of the transitoriness of human existence, the futility of all human effort in the changeless face of time. The great pines towered above their scattered villages. The broad marshes rimmed their world with silence. The men who had gone from that district were in a labour battalion. Their letters told of a world full of wonders but little of the horror of war. And, in the meantime, wages were mounting to still higher levels, separation allowances continued to arrive monthly with unfailing regularity, and the smiles of the "gold-tooth mothers" grew always broader and more effulgent. And why not indeed! In the last war had not Mr. Lincoln come South and smitten the chains from their legs with his own hands, as shown in pictures upon many cabin walls? And now, was this war not making them rich? Why, then, should one be stingy in the dispensing of golden smiles? Then suddenly a new word crossed the Ashley and made its debut in the camp. The word was "Armistice." It had a ringing sound like smitten brass; it filled the mouth, and it mated well with other fine reverberant words. The Reverend Quintus Whaley heard it first in the office of the mining company, memorised it then and there, and the following Sunday employed it three times with great effect. The first occasion was: "Ah say unto yo' sebenty time seben, button on yo' sword an' armistice, an' battle wid de debil." Ten minutes later a subtle change of meaning was revealed in this usage: "An' dere war 'tree angel singin' at de golden gate, an' one been name' Gabriel, an' one been name' Philadelphia, an' de las' one, an' de greates ob al' been name' Armistice." But the final appearance of the glittering new acquisition was at the same time the most audacious and mystifying, for it popped suddenly into the benediction and associated itself upon terms of such intimacy with the Trinity that, had an orthodox believer been IF YOU DROPSY Suffer From or dropsy swelling -- shortness of breath write us for FREE trial package.

It in them when they were weak appreciate this help in evident letters and word-of-mouth pr St.Joseph's G.F.P. present, the result must certainly have been a heresy trial for the Reverend Quintus. It was a great word. There was no gainsaying that. But later, when its meaning became definitely associated with the cessation of hostilities, there was general disappointment at its obvious temporal limitations. The Armistice! To not only the Reverend Quintus Whaley did the word reverberate with varied and significant shades of meaning. From the Atlantic to the Pacific it rang from a hundred million throats, clanged from frantic bells, and bellowed from a continent's factory whistles. Peace. An end to the slaughter. Then, like a starting gun it a stupendous race, it thundered back and launched the country upon its brief and preposterous epoch of post-war extravagance, expansion, and inflation. Across the Atlantic the masks were off at Versailles. The Fourteen Points, impractical, perhaps, but born of the agonies and aspirations of a people who would have done with war, were being manipulated cleverly as decoys, then, when the xhausted game had fluttered to hand, forgotten. Everywhere nations, business, individuals, in a mad stampede for the spoils. On the exchanges stocks were rocketing. A BABY FOR YOU!

Try it. Every druggist has it. SCOTT'S EMULSION FAMOUS OVER 50 YEARS // Scott & Bowne, Bloomfield, M. J. 10 (Continued from page nine) He had just completed the final reports on his various war work committees—the draft board—the work for the Committee on Public Information—foor conservation — agriculture. He had done his best by it all, but now he was glad that it was over. Glad, with the exception, perhaps, of the last. That had been largely his own idea. He had realised the uselessness of attempting to educate the local Negroes in the vast abstraction of the European conflict. He had cast around for some one concrete and logical use to which they could be put, and had hit upon the scheme of encouraging them to farm. He had gone to town with his plans and had made arrangements for the financing of a number of small tracts that had been put in truck by Negro families. He had become tremendously interested in the experiment, and now that they had been given a start he intended to keep behind the movement for the benefit of the Negroes themselves, and to prove to his financial backers that the proposition could be made to pay on its own account. He glanced around the little room with a rather grim smile. As it had reflected the boy, with its books, guitar, specimens, so now it offered dumb but eloquent testimony upon the man. The centre table had given place to a large flat-top desk, and a filing cabinet stood in the corner once occupied by the bookcase. The guitar, the collection of fossils, the treasured bit of African sculpture, the etchings, had vanished. Valerie had once said that the room was his battle field. Well, here it was after the first engagement, and, as Saint surveyed it on the day of casting up accounts, there was in his own mind not the least doubt that the fight had gone well. He smiled a little indulgently as he remembered the doubts, the vague gropings, the boyish passion that he had put into the quest for something that always eluded him, something that glimmered now and then from the printed page, that throbbed in a chord of music, that took him sharply when autumn rang against the pines. He was done with abstractions now. He was face to face with something actual, something that yielded results that could be computed upon an adding machine. When we pay more?

Polly had fulfilled her destiny and had done very well for herself. Her husband, already out of the olive-drab, was back in his substantial law practice in Richmond; and Richmond was one of the very few other cities in America in which a Charleston girl could contemplate existence without an instinctive shudder of repulsion. Then there had been another change in the little house, a sad one from which Saint's mind still winced when his thoughts touched it. Maum Netta had gone. Almost a year before, when the carnage had been at its height, unknown except in her tiny orbit, the old woman had joined in the vast migration and answered the call of the only voice that could proclaim her emancipation from the Wentworth family. Now, try as he might, Saint could not become accustomed to the crisp mulatto maid who had come to take her place. But there were pleasant things to think about. There was the car to be exhibited as a symbol of success and to serve when he went the rounds of the several stores under his control. There also was his desk in the main downtown office. These things meant the realisation of his mother's definitely patterned dream, and it was also beginning to mean a great deal to him. He was now a gentleman with a Broad street address and an adequate income. Now he could think seriously about marriage, and next week Valerie's unit was due to sail from France. --- Mamba sat in her window over the old carriage house in the rear of the Atkinsons' garden. About her everywhere the spring was busy with its splendid occupation of the old city. At the pavement's edge it had captured a gnarled oak that had not yet waked from its winter sleep, and had buried it beneath the headlong rush of a wistaria vine. Now, from this vantage point, flying columns were being flung to right and left to whelm the chrome and madder of a winter wall beneath invading mauve and purple. During the night the wind had changed. It no longer lashed in from the sea with its wintry tang of salt, but swept across the city from the southwest in a broad languorous tide, heavy with earthy smells from the waking sea islands. It was the season when youth strains forward with racing pulses; when age, disturbed and saddened, takes stock of the past and draws solace from such philosophy as the years may have brought.

The MAN with the FISH for sturdy health in millions of the world over. He brings pro and young against winter wet sill and her face propped between her palms, Mamba locked upon the alarming visage of spring with an expression in which the spirit was still unvanquished but in which fear was held at bay only by her old indomitable look of determination. Under her feet the years were gathering speed alarmingly now. There were black moment when she would wonder whether sh had it in her to hold on until Lissa could take care of herself and make her own way in that strange new world of hers. The Atkinson children were growing, too, and no longer needed her care. But she had made no mistake when she had elected the family as her white ilk and bound them to herself by an illusory mutual past. As the boy and girl achieved emancipation from her watchful eyes and became absorbed by school, athletics, and the social diversion of the ultrasocial old city, she felt herself gradually taking rank as a pensioner of the family. Now the thousand-and-one odd jobs that had engaged her time when she first insinuated herself into the lives of the Wentworths were again her lot. She no longer carried the slipper bag to dances, for Jack, now a breezy lad of seventeen, resplendent in his first dinner jacket, and his sister, who was being beautifully finished at an expensive school, went rolling out of the gate in the big new car that had come to live under Mamba's room in the old carriage house. But there were still shoes to be shined, flowers to be found, and the front door to be tended on Mrs. Atkinson's afternoons. She knew that as long as she could hold on, could successfully substitute the illusion of being valuable for actual value, Lissa would fare well. Her large clean room over the garage gave the girl a good home and her white folks fed her, just as they did Mamba, in their kitchen. But if she failed, now at this most critical of all times for her grandchild, the girl would have no claim on the Atkinsons—and her mother would be less than useless as a guiding hand. Sometimes now on Sundays, after the long hot walk to meet Hagar, there would be moments when she would forget names and faces and the steady light of her purpose would be obscured by blowing mists. Then she would summon her forces and pull her faculties together again, but it was an effort that always left her shaken. Had she spared herself in any particular in her sacrifices for Lissa, her hardness to Hagar would have been quite without justification, but she had given everything that she had looked forward to in her old age for the girl, and so, as a matter of course, should the mother. When Lissa reach- Do you know how to relieve rheumatic pain Doctors will tell you that to relieve rheumatic pains you must remove the cause.

Dan's voice was husky with intense passion. His strong toil-hardened fingers cruelly turned my wrist until I almost fainted with the pain of it. "Don't, please, Dan," I pleaded tearfully, glancing fearfully up and down the dark street. "Somebody's liable to see us. Let's go some place where we can talk." "We c'n do all the talkin' we need 'p do right here, gal. Ain't no use goin' nowhere else. I wanna know right now why you're givin' me the run-around. You can't kid me no longer." "But Dan," I protested, wincing under the pressure of his steely grip, "I'm NOT trying to kid you. I've told you all there is to tell: I just can't afford to be seen with you any more. Ma and Pa won't stand for it and everybody will soon be talking. You know we—well, we don't belong to the same circle, Dan." "Uhhu! Shamed of me, eh?" ne sneered. "Well, what didja wanna gimme a play for? Why didn'tja think of all that high hat stuff before?" Yes, why hadn't I thought of it before? Why hadn't I realized that I was playing with fire when I flirted with Dan Cullen at the Bijou Ballroom? Why had I listened to Carrie Fonda and gone there with her in the first place? None of my set went to the place. Mother and Father had warned me never to enter its portals and I knew that a rather common class of people hung out in the place, and yet I went I had always wanted to go into such a place. The report that rough common people frequented it greatly thrilled me but I didn't have the nerve to go to the Bijou until a girl friend in our senior class at high school, Carrie Popda, stilled my fears by assuring me that no harm would come of the adventure. Moreover, I'm more democratic than my mother and father: I don't believe one group is better than the other. That's why I went around occasionally with Carrie Fonda although she doesn't belong to my particular group and never did. The Bijou Ballroom was what the boys called jam-up. It was a block long and there was always plenty of music and galery there. A whole lot different I found it from prayer-meetings and choir practice. It didn't bother me that the dicties didn't go there. Surely, I reasoned, there wasn't any harm in going just once to see for myself. Of course, we had no escorts, and I guess that was bad. Carrie was temporarily out of a fellow and Phil Washburn, my fiance, was away at Harvard Law School. When we entered the hall we were charged by a crowd of saucy sheiks. Many of them seemed to know Carrie. Shortly I was skimming across the glassy floor with some flashily dressed young brownskin fellow whom Carrie later introduced to me as Dan Cullen. Resardless of its clientele, the Biou was all right with me. I liked its smooth floor, easy chairs, subdued lights, refreshment booths and two jazzy orchestras with their clowning singing leaders. It was entrancing to a girl who had never been to a public place of that sort. Although Dan Cullen was coarse, unlettered and slangy, he was handsome and a perfect dancer. He impressed me largely. I suppose because he was different from the fellows I knew. We danced together again and again. It was foolish of me to encourage him but his constant flattery, and the lavish way he spent his money for food and drink sort of dulled my sense of caution. Once during the evening Carrie whispered to me: "Plav him hard. Dora He's crazy about good-looking high vallahs like you. Wish I could get him for a steady." After he'd treated me so nice, I didn't have the heart to refuse his company home. I was in a hurry to get in because it was past eleven and Mother would be worrine, but Dan wouldn't let me go until I kissed him. In order to escape quickly, I consented. His moving picture embrace disturbed me. He was so much more passionate and primitive than my Phil. I promised myself I wouldn't see him again, but something took me back to the Bibou. I tried to make believe it was the music and vivacity of the place but I guess it was something else. I found myself hooking around for him and my search was soon rewarded though my heart ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—November 30, 1929 THE "We danced together again and again. It was foolish of me to encourage him, but his constant flattery . . . dulled my sense of caution." leaped half with fear, half with expectancy, when I saw him. We spent another glorious evening. Dan was a little rough but I liked his company for a change. After the fourth meeting, he began talking about marriage. I could see from the look in his eyes that he was deadly in earnest. I didn't tell him about Phil but I let him know that I just liked him as a friend. He didn't like that. We were parting at the doorstep when father drove up in his coupe from a late call. He saw us kiss. Usually a dignified physician, soft-spoken and easy going, he became a roaring lion that night. It was a terrible scene. He cursed Dan and Dan, replied the same way. Ma and Pa lectured me for at least two hours. I explained that there was nothing between Dan and me, but promised not to see him any more. They pointed out what a scandal there would be if the people of our set found out I was going with a tunnel worker. "HE IMPRESSE "We danced together again and again. I him, but his constant flattery . . . dulled m When I thought it over that night in bed, I was ashamed of myself. Probably I HAD been indiscreet in view of the fact that I was engaged to Phil Washburn, son of Attorney Daniel Washburn, father's best friend. We were to be married the next June when he got his degree and went to work in his father's office. I felt sorry for Dan because he seemed to be so taken with me, but I heeded my parents' warning and stayed away from both the Bijou and Dan. It was then that Dan began to pester me. First, there came several long, misspelled, threatening letters. I didn't answer any of them. Then he began to loiter on our block at night waiting for me to come by. Now, he had caught me right near my home and was making a scene. I was panic stricken. Of course I could yell for the police or for my father but that would only advertise the affair to the world—the very thing I didn't want under the circumstances. "Well, whatcha gonna do?" he growled. "Are you gonna see me some more? Are you gonna give me a break? I ain't gonna letcha jive me no more, pretty mamma. I'm crazy 'boutcha and you gotta gimme a chance." I could tell by the expressi n on his face that I couldn't put him off. If I stood there much longer some neighbor would pass and then gnissinping tongues would start wagging. What a peck of trouble my wildness had got me into! "I'll meet you on the corner at seven-thirty tomorrow night." I lied. Anything to get away. I smiled sweetly to more effectively disarm him, and then offered him my lips though I inwardly revolted against in hi home greet ately racco He his caresses. I had come to my senses but I wasn't out of my difficulty. He seemed satisfied and departed. I knew I couldn't afford to see him again under any circumstances, and yet I didn't know how to avoid it. I ransacked my mind until far into the night. It was too much for me. Dan was too tough to be scared off without the whole community hearing about it, and that would be ruin. Next morning came a letter from Phil to add to my troubles. He was coming home for Thanksgiving and would be in town for three or four days. I was glad, of course, but then I was a little apprehensive, too. Suppose he should be with me when Dan next accosted me! What a pretty stew that would be. I shuddered as I thought of it. I knew Dan would be waiting for me on the corner and I knew Phil would want to go out somewhere that night after dinner. True, I could play sick, but would that be fair to Phil when I hadn't seen him since Labor SED ME . . ." ain. It was foolish of me to encourage led my sense of caution." Day? Noon came and I was terribly worried. I was walking disconsolately homeward when Carrie Fonda overtook me. "Gee, Dora," she exclaimed, "you're looking gloomier than a bankrupt. What's the matter? You and Dan fall out?" It was a relief to be able to confide in someone, so Carrie, who knew about the whole affair, was a very welcome confidant. She didn't really belong to my circle, but she was a good kid, very pretty, with clear, brown complexion and long curly black hair; one of the wiloest but also one of the shrewdest shebas in town. Although but a senior in high school and only eighteen, she knew a while lot more than, some women. "You don't have to worry about that," she comforted, when I had told her everything. "I know·Dan Cullen. He's a good catch but not in your class. Besides, you've got Phil Washburn. But you can't shoo Dan off unless you know him well. He's a pretty tough bird." "I know it, Carrie," I agreed, "but what can I do? If I stand him up tonight he's liable to be just crazy enough to come around to the house. Now wouldn't that be a mess—with Phil there?" "Well, I'll tell you," she proposed as we walked up the street. "Let ME meet him in your place. I think I can fix things." She would not tell me her plans and I was so glad to get help that I wouldn't press her for them. I felt lighthearted when I got home and consequently was able to greet my Phil cherrily and affectionately when he bounced in, in his raccoon coat. He had driven down from Boston in his roadster. How different he Mamba's Daughters was from Dan Cullen. Boyish, yet digrified, culturec, precise, he was every inch a man and a gentleman. How foolish I had been to engage in a dance-hall flirtation. He wanted to go to a show and afterwards to a sorority dance, trembled inside. We would have to go by the corne, at the very time Dan would be waiting. I couldn't refuse him after such a long absence. We walked jauntily down the street. Fear tugged at my heart. My gaiety was a pretense. It was a crisp November evening. The smell of dead leaves and bonfires was in the air. The trees deduced of their leaves lifted gaunt, accusing fingers against the starry, moonlit sky. From the houses along the avenue came the sounds of phonographs and radics. We came to the corner. I looked furtively around. No, Dan wasn't there. Oh! Who was that in the shadow? My heart leaped. It was Dan and Carrie. I braced myself. They withdrew into the shadow. Phil and I walked past them. I was almost fainting with excitement. It was over in ten seconds but I was a good half-hour recovering. As I sat in the theatre and afterward circled the floor in his arms at the sorority dance, I thought again and again of Carrie and Dan. What in the world had happened? How had she restrained him? I momentarily recoiled as I conjured up the memory of his steely fingers gripped around my wrist. Thursday. Friday. Saturday, and Sunday I was busy celebrating the thanksiving holiday with Phil. But I kept thinking of Carrie and Dan. What had she done to change his temper? I wondered. Monday at school I saw her. She winked at me across several ows of desks. After classes, I sought her out but couldn't find her. From across the class room next day she grinned impatiently yet reassuringly. Desperate with curiosity, I wrote her a note and had it slipped to her. "Why the silence?" I inquired. "I'm dying with curiosity." "Take your time friend of mine.' she wrote back. "I'm doing this." Evidently she was, because she (Continued from page ten) well developed and straight as an Indian's, and that almost obscured strain of Indian in Mamba had flared up in the grandchild, as it so often will, and given her a skin of pale lustred bronze through which the colour beat in her cheeks and her full-lipped small mouth. Her hair, fine and straight, was worn after the fashion of the Mona Lisa, and beneath it she held in reserve small close-set ears, which, like her beautifully modelled hands, were a heritage from her mother's people. But her glory lay in her eyes, which under stress of emotion would deepen and brighten until they glowed like dark amber in sunlight. She had the Negro's faculty of giving her whole being to an emotion, so that under stress every gesture became a graphic interpretation, but her years of hard drilling in music, and her teacher's directions for posture and platform presence were in danger of overdiscipling the emotions as well as the body. Her early natural charm was becoming a studied attitude. Now, only when she was singing for fun, as she would say, could she let herself go and forget herself in music. But the cultivated air of well-bred restraint was the charm that presently admitted her to the most exclusive circle of Negro society in the city. Among the girls that she knew it was said by many that she was hard—that what she wanted she took regardless of others. But in a set rife with jealousies, and with her conspicuous attainments, talk of this sort was no more than was to be expected. In the old city that was so strong in its class consciousness among the whites it was singular that there was so little realisation of the fact, that, across the colour line, there existed much the same state of affairs. There were, in the opinion of most of the white residents, two general classes of Negroes—those who knew their place and those who did not—and of late years the latter class was drawing upon the former in lamentably large numbers. If they thought at all of the innumerable distinct segments that comprised Negro society it was apt to be with mild and, on the whie, indulgent amusement. For 11 wouldn't tell me anything for the next month except that everything was going all right. At any rate I saw no more of Dan Cullen. At graduation exercises she sat next to me. "Well, for Lord's sake tell me all about it," I begged "What in the world did you do to Dan Cullen? I haven't seen a sign of him. What's the secret." "Well, I didn't want to talk until I had everything fixed," said Carrie with a grin. "You know Dar, and I are going to get married next week." "Married!" I gasped. "Yes, married," she repeated. "He's not dicty like your Phil but he's a good looking guy, a good dancer, a swell dresser and he makes eight dollars a day. I couldn't beat that in a million years." "Eut—but I don't understand. How did you do it? He was awfully crushed on me." "Ask me another," laughed Carrie. "You see, I've been knowing Dan for a long time. He lost his head over you because you were dicty and a high yallah. Now, he acts like a hard guy but I happened to know that he never fools with married women. Says he doesn't want anybody to 'Say it with bullets.' So being single, I played him strong and he fell easy, like I knew he would. That's all there is. There isn't any more." "But wait a minute. I can't understand yet. I'm not married and won't be until June." "Of course you're not, silly," she laughed, "but I told him you WERE, and that was the very reason why you tried to share him, not wanting to get him in trouble. I told him the marriage was secret until your Phil got his degree. When you and Phil passed us that night. I says, 'There she goes with her husband now,' and he tried to lose himself between those houses. He immediately swore off you forever." "But what'll happen to you, Carrie." I asked anxiously, thinking of Den's fingers, "when and if he finds out you fooled him?" "Oh pshaw!" she exclaimed unconcernedly. "We'll be married six months by that time and he'll be as meek as a lamb." THE END. i. was well known that the sharp cleavages between full-blooded Negroes and mulattoes, between the waning power of the ministerial union and the new secular leaders, the labour element and the young but powerful business class, all served to make any dangerous concerted Negro movement improbable. In the set in which Lissa moved she seldom met a full-blooded Negro—the barrier of mistrust and prejudice that rose between her fellow members of the Reformed Church and Mamba's friends on East Bay was scarcely less formidable than that separating white from black. The atmosphere that she breathed was that of the Victorian drawing room. Music, which had always found a spontaneous outlet in the spiritual and work chant, colour which was flung with a lavish hand over house fronts and clashed and rang in women's dresses down in the waterfront district, had, in that rarer air, become "culture," and found expression in the Monday Night Music Club, and exhibitions of paintings. The untrammeled hilarity and broad humour of Mamba's friends was here muted to the restrained ninth of the late 'nineties. The pendulum had swung with a vengeance and was then at the limit of its range. Far above, in the life of the aristocracy, the new freedom was beginning to be manifest, smashing conventional usage; talking its Freud and Jung—re-arranging moral standards, and explaining lapses in its pat psychoanalytical jargon. But in the Monday Night Music Club ladies were ladies, those who were pale enough blushed, a leg was still a limb—and gentlemen asked permission to smoke cigarettes. It was all a little absurd, one might say—copybook gentility with its middle-class taboos and reticences. Neither the one thing nor the other in the amazing old city of colourful extremes on the one hand and interesting tradition on the other. But it must always be remembered as a beginning. It was establishing standards, putting a premium on chastity. Drawing-room pioneers, perhaps, but adventurers none the less, and leading the way into a terrain that was new and strange.
