COUNTRY PRESS STABILIZES NATION
At the conclusion of the greatest era of stock speculation in history, President Hoover checked mass hysteria by mobilizing industrial cooperation and showing the people that the business of the nation was on a sound basis. What he did was in line with the continuous educational work of thousands of country weekly and small daily newspapers which stand for national stability and industrial development.
These community newspapers devote much of their space to showing how the great bulk of the payrolls and smaller industries maintain business and employment at a normal level all the year round. Great corporations, enormous skyscrapers, ocean steainship lines, railroads, banking and utilities may be the backbone of the country, but the thousands of smaller payroll and industry towns in the country whose story is told week by week in the country press is the body of our economic structure which gives the backbone life. Rural press circulation reaches a majority of working, thinking Americans in their homes and is the great national stabilizer. The business stability of the nation depends, as President Hoover has said, on the pulse of the millions back in the country, suburban and interurban communities and does not exist by the flat or the decree of the metropolitan brains and hearts and purse strings.

VOLUME III. No. 7
It is not importune as the year 1930 ushers in to say a word or two on a subject that is vital to this race of ours, as well as it is to all other races that look forward to a great and glorious future. The Negro newspapers as well as the various Negro institutions will be lacking in the performance of their duty if they fail to bring to the minds, the cars of their hearers and before the eyes of the Negro peoples of the world. The fact that if we are to ever become anything; if we are to rise above mediocrity; if we are to take our places in the world, we cannot neglect to develop ourselves along commercial and industrial lines.
Now, while the spirit of cheer and good-will is upon us let us sit in silence awhile, look over the past, watch the present an dweigh the future. Let us look at other progressive people who are standing at the front line of world civilization. For instance, England, U. S., France and Japan each rose from world obscurity to world domination and this because of development along commercial and industrial lines. Industry and commerce have furnished them with funds and thus have enabled them to secure what ever could be secured at a price.
Even the great Napoleon Bonaparte who conquered practically all Europe saw all his dreams of Empire dashed to pieces. And all this because of the activities of (according to Napoleon himself) "that contemptible nation of shop keepers, The Englishmen." Marcus Garvey, in his elaborate program drawn up at the recent 6th international convention in 1929, calls upon the Negro people of the world in 1930 to produce as all other people in the words of the man of Gallilee, 'Go thou and do likewise.'"
Motorists Are Cautioned To Get Auto Plates
Motorists Are Cautioned To Get Auto Plates
Automobile license plates for 1930 were placed on sale today in Elkhart, Goshen, Hammond, Mishawaka, South Bend and Valpariso by the Chicago Motor club, which issued a statement urging car owners in this section of the state to purchase the plates as early as possible.
"In former years many motorists delayed securing their new plates until the extreme end of the year," the statement pointed out. "As in former years, the staff at each of our branches has been greatly augmented so that the plates may be secured with a minimum of delay, but if many car owners again procrastinate, the clerks at the branch offices will be swamped at the last minute, and irritating and exasperating delay will ensue. Motorists can escape such a situation by applying now when each transaction will average only a few minutes. It is imperative that every appli-

Britons Hit Color Line In Resolution
NEW YORK.-The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is informed by the Far and Near Press Bureau that a recent meeting of the Society of Friends (Quakers) in London, took action to prevent the further spread of the color bar. A resolution was unanimously passed to form a permanent joint council of white and colored people, to encourage personal contacts, to spread information and to make known in Great Britain the achievements of Negroes. About 250 people attended the conference, representing various missionary societies and other bodies.
WOOLWORTH FIRES PREJUDICED WORKER
Store Discharges Clerk When He Refuses To Wait Upon Colored Customer
New York—Randolph Brown, secretary of the Blair County branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reports that the F. W. Woolworth Co., have dismissed an employee in Altoona, Pennsylvania ,who declined to serve colored customers. The matter had been taken up by the N.A.A.C.P. national office with the company's district office in Wilkes-Barre, as a result of which Mr. Brown received the following letter:
"Your letter of November 4th written to our New York office has been turned over to the Wilkes-Barre office for investigation. We have taken steps to have a thorough investigation made at that point by our traveling superintendent. Since receiving your letter, we have changed the management of the food department in the Altoona store. The man who was responsible for this condition is no more in our employ."
cant present a certificate of title to his car when applying for the plates. The expiring registration card is not sufficient proof of ownership. Only the real certificate of title will suffice."
The six branch offices will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., except on Sundays, when they will be closed during the entire day. The Indiana motor vehicle act provides that the new license plates must be on the car before it can be driven after the beginning of the year. The plates this year have a background of blue while the lettering and numerals are orange tinted. The license fees are the same as those which were in force last year.

CHICAGO HOSPITAL AROUSES INTEREST OF WHOLE NATION
Leaders Send Messages Of Congratulation To Trustees
Chicago-That the interest of Negroes in the proposed $3,000,000 Provident hospital and Training school is not confined to leaders in Chicago is indicated in the number of letters of congratulation and inquiries received by A. L. Jackson, president of the board of trustees of the institution George R. Arthur, treasurer, and Dr George Cleveland Hall, trustee and chief of staff, from prominent citizens throughout the country.
This project which Julius Rosenwald, prominent philanthropist has proclaimed as the greatest interracial effort in recent years has attracted national attention and especially the teaching and research angle which will be stressed in the enlarged program which will be carried out with the cooperation of Chicago university.
As was announced previously, $1, 750,600 of the necessary $3,000,000 has already been subscribed and organizations are now being perfected to raise the remainder of the required sum. Of this amount $900,000 will be expended for the plant, one million used for teaching purposes and $1, 100,000 will represent an operating fund. Through this arrangement a full time staff of highly trained physicians and surgeons will be employed at the hospital to serve the patients, representing one of the few hospitals operated primarily for Negreos in the United States, with a full time staff.
Indiana Soil Is Rich According To Geologists
Indianapolis, (Special) Indiana contains many valuable deposits of clays and other ceramic materials which remains undeveloped. Such deposits are discussed at length in a new publication, "The Ceramic Materials of Indiana," just issued by the state conservation department.
The new pamphlet publication was written by Dr. W. W. Logan, state geologist, and issued through the geology division of the state department. Indiana already produces a large variety of ceramic wares, according to Dr. Logan, and is the seventh state in rank in ceramic production in the United States. The annual production of brick, tile and pottery products reaches a value of many million dollars; in 1927 their value was $17,855,971. In addition, a large amount of raw clay is sold to manufacturers outside the state.

GARY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1930
It Seems To Me
By W. A. LORDEN
That, although we would like to dismiss the idea, it is, nevertheless, true: Everything that is done by the Colored race, as a group or individually, is magnified if criminal, weakly applauded if it is a demonstration of talent, or held against us if it is an attempt at social or political construction.
A very striking instance of this last tendency was made conspicious a few days ago in our city. According to the program of the recent exposition that was sponsored by the Noon Day Business club, Mayor Williams was expected to speak. That he did not do. To be exact he was not even present. It is possible that some plausible excuse was sent to the officials of the exposition. Yes—possible—and we may let it go at that; but, at least, some one could have been sent to represent his Highness.
We wonder what is behind it—if any thing! Do you think that it was the sudden turn of the political tables in the last Republican parley? That may be false cause. You say? Well, would you attribute it to the defeat of the Democrats, the other half of the coalition? You say that while the Colored vote did not necessarily elect Mr. Johnson, all of us (Democrats not excluded) are certainly paying for giving him such overwhelming support.
A sudden wave of unemployment in certain sections and a despicable raid and jailing of men, women and children do carry the ear-marks of vengeance. We hope that the next crop of city leaders will not grow suddenly too prosperous to ward off the "darts" intended for a group that "really" believes that Gary will have the "greatest administration that she has ever had."
That our editors would be acting advisedly if they were to cease discussing racial inferiority and superiority. Except that in a biological way, even Anthropoligists can not determine the certainty or uncertainty of this contention.
There are sociological as well as psychological issues that are involved in this question. If we must argue we ought to be at least inductive in our process of reasoning. We should gather a large amount of details before announcing a Law.
If it is not logical to compare a group that has an inferior environment or less opportunities with a group that has advantages in these respects, it is equally illogical to take one or two improved individuals from those lower circumstances as attested arguments against black inferiority. That there are mentally superior and inferior individuals is an accepted fact. That these individuals are found proportionally in greater abundance in one race over against another, all things being equal, brings us back to our worn out condition. It may be that these contentions arise only in the minds of inferior people, black as well as white. After all, an era or a nation produces but one or two superior individuals. The rest of us are inferior. Greece boasted of her wisdom yet she produced only three wise men. Rome gave us the Caesars and Leonardo de Vinci long after Carthage had contributed Hanno.
Germany gave birth to Bismark and Liszt, Russia swells with pride over Lenin and Pushkin and Rachmaninoff, while England is justly proud of Shakespeare and Oliver Gladstone. France gave the world a Voltare and a Clemenseau. While our own contribution is a Washington (Booker T.), a Webster and a Henry Cabot Lodge, it has taken the combined ages, moral and ethical, to give us a Christ.
Doug and Mary at the United Artists
America's two favorite motion picture stars in the greatest comedy of the greatest playwright of all time. That is the combination to be seen at the United Artists theatre where Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford are playing in Shakespeare's hilarious comedy "The Taming of the Shrew."
HARDAWAY STATES PLANS FOR WARD AND ENTIRE CITY
Aldermah-Elect To Fight For Gary Citizens; Not Stragglers
"I am opposed to the practice of employing laborers from other towns at the cost of throwing thousands of tax-paying citizens out of work," stated Alderman-elect, Wilbur Hardaway today in a personal interview. "Yes. I think favorably of the idea of inserting a clause into all contracts that are let by the city whereby the Builders will be obliged to work Gary men in preference to all others." continued Mr. Hardaway.
The Fifth ward alderman-elect states that there is need for a constructive program for social betterment, improvement of property, and political unity in Gary. Thus, it is his plan to first bring these things to pass in his own ward and as an inducement to other sections that are equally in need of such construction. In answer to the question relative to the prosecution of his program, Mr. Hardaway explained that the united efforts of home owners, religious and social organizations, and real estate men would be sought.
When asked of the degree of opposition that he contemplated, the new alderman replied, "I am only interested in the enthusiasm with which my program will launch forward. We should not evaluate the strength of our opponents un-necessarily."
Mr. Hardaway feels that his duty to the people who placed him in office trancends all other obligations that he might have contracted; and while the people may have been deceived by others, their confidence in the Johnson regime has not been impaired.
That there should be institutions to handle the thousands of dollars that are being made by the colored citizens of Gary is a thought deeply entertained by Mr. Hardaway; and if any definite inroads are made in this respect, they will be made during the next administration.
The new alderman finds that while the present state of economic dependency on the part of colored Gary is rather appalling, it would be far more interesting to remedy the situation.
Mr. Hardaway thinks that if contracts were not granted to out-of-town builders who are naturally sympathetic towards workers from the latter's home town, the unemployed role of the city would naturally decrease.
The young alderman stated that under the cost per-capita system for the education of children, the money that is leaving Gary in the form of outside wages is certainly depriving some citizen's child of an education.
He concluded the interview with the declaration that the only way to get complete recognition and respect from white merchants is to create and establish "competitive institution of our own."
Duncan Sisters At Chicago Theatre
In all the walks of life there is probably none which affords more sympathetic material appealing to almost every type of person than the stage. The allure of Broadway, the long weary grind towards success, and the sudden "break" have always been popular material for stories. Now the talking pictures bring one of the finest of such stories to the moving picture public, together with two of the best known artists of the stage. The Duncan Sisters, popular harmony singers, are bringing their first picture, "It's a Great Life," to the Chicago theatre starting Friday, January 3rd.
Race Relations Are Studied by Germans
NEW YORK.—A German book recently published and just arrived in this country, "Im Vierten Erdteil" (On the 4th Quarter of the Globe) by Wilhelm Mensching, which discusses cultural problems in America, devotes three chapters to race relations of Negroes and whites.
In these chapters the history and present status of race relations in America are summarized, special mention being made of the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and of William Pickens, Field Secretary, and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois with especial reference to his leadership in the Pan-African Congress.
527 ARRESTS MADE IN NOV. BY WARDEN
Game Law Violations Bring Large Number of State Residents to Court
State game wardens made 527 arrests in November for fish and game law violations.
Convictions were made in 495 cases; 23 cases remain to be tried, and 9 cases were dismissed. Convicted persons paid fines and costs amounting to $10,258.60 which goes to the school funds in the counties wherein arrests were made. Chief offenses, according to George N. Mannfeld, superintendent of the fish and game division of the state conservation department, were:
Taking fur-bearing animals in closed season, 215; hunting, fishing on trapping without license, 143; hunting on Sunday, 59; hunting on land without permission of owner, 42; (these affidavits were signed by landowners); shooting on a public highway, and using searchlights, 16; fishing with nets and traps illegally, 10; killing quail out of season, 7; killing squirrels in closed season, 6, and dynamiting fish, 6.
Mannfeld reports that in November, Sidney R. Esten, field worker and lecturer on birds, delivered 33 talks to 5,595 school children and adults on the value of birds. Since January 1925, when this work started in connection with the National Association of Audubon Societies, approximately 375,000 people in Indiana have heard these lectures.
Jim Crowed in Church, Together at Ringside
NEW YORK. — How colored and white people, segregated in church, sat together at a prize fight, in Charlottesville, Virginia, is told in a letter sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by Dr. James H. Dillard, Director of the Jeanes Fund. Dr. Dillard, labeling the story "A Christmas Conundrum for Saints and Sinners" to which only sinners can give the answer, writes:
"A few weeks ago in the Parish House of Christ Church, Mr. Wallace Battle, representative of the Episcopal Church Institute for Negroes spoke in behalf of these church schools. The colored people of the audience sat so high up in a gallery that I did not know where there were any present until the meeting was over. There was no provision for them, even by separation, on the main floor.
"Last night George went to a sparring match in the Armory between two colored boxers. When he got back he came up to my room to tell me that he had seen an illustration of race relations. It was not a mob crowd. There were students from the University and some of the 'best' people in town. There were white people and colored people. There was no division of seats. Anybody sat by anybody."

EMANCIPATION DAY
SPEAKERS PLEAD
FOR GROUP-UNITY
McFarlane ,Hueston Score Racial
Absurdities; Voice
Solution
By W. A. LORDEN
To more than three hundred citizens of Gary who braved unfavorable weather to commemorate once again the trials before the Emancipation and the merits and demerits afterwards, the Noon Day Business and affiliated clubs of the city presented a program that should mark, if ever, the rise of a racial consciousness for economic independency.
Under the direction of Dr. Charles R. Woods, president of the Noon Day club, the celebration was begun by a group singing of "America" which was directed by Mr. R. D. Guy. After a prayer by Rev. A. T. Bailey, the "Battle Song of the Republic" was sung by the audience.
Miss Thyra Edwards then read the Emancipation Proclamation by President Lincoln.
Following the reading of the Proclamation, the Negro National Anthem was sung by the audience under the direction of Mr. Zimmerman.
Judge W. C. Hueston, in introducing the speakers of the day, among other things said that the false pride of those Negroes who would have the race forget that it was once enslaved is based upon an intelligence that lacks the ability to affix the "shame" to whom it really belongs. Fredrick McFarlane, principal of the Roosevelt high school, continued the rebuke instigated by Judge Hueston by a philosophical presentation of the merits and virtues that lie in "imperfection."
Mr. McFarlane quoted from and commented upon the statistical report made annually by the Crisis—which sets forth the demerits and merits of the Negro during the past year. It was found that the credits of the race far exceeded its debts.
In commenting upon the votes cast at Lincoln university in answer to a questionnaire by Langston Hughes that was put to the senior class relative to the latter's preference for a majority of White or Negro teachers, and which vote stood a two-thirds majority for White instructors, the speaker scored that "mixed" schools can be tolerated if a "mixed" faculty is countenanced sometime. The Negro students' stance was deplored.
The spueaker mused that the Negro has a very peculiar conception of segregation. That is, whatever is operated without white participation is segregation.
Mr. McFarlane concluded with the observation that a tremendous progress has been made by the Negro in economics and education. From nothing, we have over four and a half billions of dollars, adequate banks and dependable businesses of various kinds. In 1863, ninety out of every hundred cannot read.
He continued that while the race had not produced an economic leader since Booker T. Washington, it is nevertheless true that whatever advancement the Negro is to make rests in a secure economic structure that must be interlaced with racial cooperation and organization.
'Dynamite' Showing At the Roosevelt
"Dynamite," Cecil B. DeMille's first all talking production now playing at the Roosevelt theatre marks another success that the great director has scored in this particular type of picture. Once again DeMille takes the story of ultra modern society and makes a smashing, tremendous success of it. In this picture he has a story fairly staggering in its drama and emotional intensity. The picture takes one from the drawing rooms of New York to the death cell of a prison, from the prison to the darkness of a mine.

PAYROLL vs. POLITICS
An English member of Parliment a few years ago wrote a level-
headed common-sense book that outsold all others and the title was
“Industries versus Politics.”
His argument was that steady employment and good payrolls
Were more important than the ordinary political palaver one heard or
read in the newspapers or that was talked on the hustings.
“A newspaper that gives a good share of its space to news about
payrolls and industries is more humanly interesting than the most
learned disquisitions about the class for this or that political party.
It is of great importance for the press to make itself the commu-
nity exponent of payrolls and industries that add men and women to
the payroll column.
A newspaper which dedicates itself to the idea of making its
honie city and district an industrial center and pledges to give a fair
amount of space to industrial development, renders a public service
of inestimable value which should receive hearty support from all
citizens.
GET DOWN TO FUNDAMENTALS
In ariy consideration of the automobile accident problem and its
proposed cures we' must get down to fundamentals.
Tt has been conclusively proven that accidents cannot be legis-
lated’ away, so long as the legislation takes the form of merely pro-
viditig indemnity for the injured. Compulsory insurance, from the
standpoint of prevention, has proven a collossal failure. It has but
added more complexities to an already complex situation.
On the other hand, tests conducted in many cities and states
Have’ proven that logical traffic laws, intelligently enforced, will pro-
duce a decrease in the accident record. Fines or jail terms for the
irresponsible, incompetent, drunken or careless drivers—the 10 per
eent who cause 90 per cent of all accidents—work wonders.
The fundamental problem is to prevent the accident from oc-
curring. Until we provide and enforce laws that keep the highways
clear for the competent and the careful, every year will doubtless wit-
ness further increases in the victims of the mishandled automobile.
4 MODERNIZING THE OLDEST INDUSTRY
Food is the latest of the great industries to adopt the principles
of mass production and distribution. Great organizations are to
manufacture scores of non-competitive products, thus giving the con-
sumer the advantage of facilities that improve quality and cut costs.
Perhaps the only remarkable thing about this new trend is that
it has been so long in coming. It is certainly logical that the most
essential and basic of all industries should adopt the methods whereby
other American industries have progressed to a point where they are
the greatest in world history.
The housewife of the future should get a superior food product
for a lower price, even as mass production has given us better clothes,
automobiles, transportation, vas and electric service and a multitude
of other commodities.

"Hold to God's Unchanging Hand." Rev. Lovelace talked of God's creation, its greatness and its endurance and then compared Man and his accomplishments.

Ailing Heart Requires
Quiet, Rest to Get Well Take care of your heart. You have only one. You give it a huge amount of work to do and it does it without telling you how you are mistreating it. But when it does rebel and tells you, pay attention to the warnings. This is the advice of Dr. Louis M. Warfield, writing in Hygeia, the health magazine published by the American Medical association.
Doctor Warfield describes the evidence of a worn-out heart. You are short of breath on exertion that had not previously produced distress. You may notice that your shoes are tight in the evenings, but that you have no difficulty in putting them on the next morning. Then one day you take cold; the next day you are short of breath, you have a distressing cough and your feet are swollen.
As soon as the symptoms are relieved the average person wants to get up, rather than go about slowly and gradually getting back to his usual activity. It would not be unmitigated bad fortune for a person with a bad heart to have a broken leg, too, Doctor Warfield declares.

We "clean-up" every January, because merchandise must be kept moving. Strictly winter merchandise must be sold in winter, regardless, as spring goods will shortly require their place, or otherwise we would require a hundred or more additional stock-rooms.
This is Sears, Roebuck and Company's greatest midwinter sale. Prices were already as low as equal quality merchandise could possibly be sold. Now they are still lower.
We do not wish to create the impression that everything has been reduced, for it is not so. All the "yeararound" merchandise is as low as it could be sold by us or any one.
WONDERFUL SAVINGS ARE NOW POSSIBLE
Our guarantee of "satisfaction or your money back" is always in force. If any article is good enough for us to sell, it is good enough for us to buy back. The public never loses in trading with Sears, Roebuck and Co.

Thumb Index to Mentality
The thumb is said to be an excellent indicator of character. Those who are in full possession of all their faculties make good use of their thumbs. Wherever there is a tendency to insanity this generally useful and active member falls out of work. A physician in charge of a lunatic asylum states positively that if you see a person whose thumb remains inactive—standing at right angles and taking no part in the act of writing, salutation, or manual exercise generally—you may be sure that he has a diseased mind. He may talk intelligently and appear sane in every respect, but undoubtedly a tinge of madness is lurking within his brain.
Evil in Stagnant Air
The interesting discovery has been made that the chief cause of fatigue in workshops is air stagnation. The harm that stagnant air does is not to the lungs, but to the skin because it lowers its cooling power.

SPADER--THE WORLD'S GREATEST PEANUT VENDER
H IS REAL name is Archibald Campbell Ceruly, but in the dim distant past some one nicknamed him "Spader." Everybody calls him Spader today.

You look to see from whence this cry comes. There, weaving his way through the crowd, is an old colored man busily selling his wares. He is decked out in a brilliant orange Prince Albert coat with a double row of huge black buttons, orange trousers and a stove pipe silk hat. Across the front of the hat in white letters is printed the sign "Spader, King of Peanut Sellers."
Every student who has ever attended Princeton since the early nineties knows Spader. He is a Princeton institution. His selling patter is just as much a part of Princeton tradition as the old college songs. At all the games he can be heard.

By JOHN W. DOUGLAS.
HIS REAL name is Archibald Campbell but in the dim distant past some of named him "Spader." Everybody in Spader today. He started selling peanuts a boy under "Ole Jim Salter." Born in the Pennington, N.J., Spader later moved to H. N.J., where hungry college students provided a ready market for his wares.
The theme of this story is not based on the mere item of peanut selling. Men are selling this food product every day, either over store counters or from push carts. Our interest in Spader lies in the extraordinarily unique salesmanship that he has developed. He has mastered that fundamental rule of business "it pays to advertise." Spader is his own advertisement.
Suppose you were attending the annual football game between Yale and Princeton. The stadium is packed with the typical football crowd, bedecked in partizan colors. A touchdown just been made and the Princeton stands at an uproar. Finally the noise subsides and quiet. Then suddenly out of the stillness a hoarse voice is heard:

IN THE early part of 1908 Jack sailed for London. For two years he had chased Burns around the world. Consequently his entire negotiations for matches were now toward a championship encounter with the champion, Burns. Prominent sport authorities had recognized Johnson's logical claims.

FINALLY the title match with Burns was arranged to take place in Sydney, New South Wales. The preliminary negotiations between the two managers and officials involved more discussion than ever characterized any previous similar event. This was due to Burns's hesitancy to meet Jack.
The above picture shows him in a characteristic pose. He is known as New Jersey's fastest peanut seller.
THE MONSTER
JACK made innumerable concessions to Burns during the negotiations. He even consented to Burns's manager acting as referee, so sure was he of his skill and training tactics. This was the first time in pugilistic history a contestant's manager served also as referee.

In the winter "New Jersey's fastest peanut seller" takes his stand at the Trenton arena. Here amid the dust of the resin and the thud of the fighter's blows, one can clearly hear him cry: "Get yer hump back peanuts, HEAH, Get your double jointed peanuts, HEAH!"
One evening a hard working announcer after frantic efforts had finally succeeded in getting quiet, "Ladies and gentlemen," he shouted, "I have this announcement to make, I—" "Get yer knock out peanuts, HEAH." Spader as usual was on the job.
This stunt of naming his peanuts after some occurrence or event is characteristic of our friend Spader. If he is at some carnival, they are "carnival" peanuts, if he is working at a ball game, they are "home-run" peanuts, if President Hoover were present, Spader would be selling "Hoover" peanuts.

There is a deep seated plan behind Spader's tomboolery. His aim is not simply to amuse people. His desire is to sell as many bags of his "hump backed, double jointed, well roasted, always toasted peanuts" as possible. To do that he has decided that he must attract attention. There is no doubt that he does both of these things. After thirty-five years at this work, he had accumulated a tidy sum of money. This money he invested in several propositions ranging from hogs to houses. At one time Spader owned three automobiles. However, something happened and the investment projects didn't pan out as he expected. He lost a good part of his savings in a maze of legal intricacies that he could not understand.
Spader may be down but he is not out. He is coming back and coming back strong. If you ever are in Princeton or Trenton, listen for this cry: "Get yer peanuts, HEAH! Get yer well roasted

JACK received a warm ovation upon his arrival in Australia. However, Burns was the decided favorite in betting due perhaps to the racial element involved. Many of Burns's friends had been misled into betting on him. For in spite of Jack's known skill, Burns's reputation was formidable.

BEING HELPFUL IS A MARK OF BREEDING
What we fear most we are most sensitive about. We are always on the lookout for it. Some call it hav-
ing a chip on the shoulder. This attitude of mind is something thoughtful parent should think about, first in his own mind for fear he may transplant it in his child. It is a human trait to praise one's self and one's own family. Many terse savings which have
1920
Mrs. Elise Ayers come down through the ages perpetuate this truth. For instance: "Every crow thinks his own the blackest." And, most often, this tendency to "blow your own horn" means that you come to believe that no one else has a horn to blow and if he does he is doing so unjustly. It also comes about that one group of people delude themselves into thinking that they really have more to "crow" about than other groups of people. And, on the other side of the picture, certain groups feel that they should be ashamed of themselves since for centuries they have not been proud of themselves.
At last a reaction sets in, and those of the despised or humble group cast about for mental relief from this distressing daily atmosphere. The more intelligent study out the relative merits of humans and groups and arrive at the conclusion that most of the vainglory is unfounded. Others who have less time and inclination to think, translate their emotions into resentment, non-

for luxury? Please tell me.
A.F.
My dear, love is the greatest of luxuries. Evidently you love your man in a fine, sensible way. I think this, despite your longing for a nice wedding. I suppose you mean an ostentatious one. For the simplest wedding can be nice. Frankly, I believe big weddings are going out of fashion.
The tendency today is for privacy in heart affairs. The less we let the public in on such things, the less it will have to gossip about, should the marriage fail. Instead of throwing away money on a lavish wedding, put it into a beautiful home where you can enjoy it for many years to come. Use it to establish a beautiful setting for a continued romance.
And as for your education, why must you stop school just because you marry? Today, in our big cities, hundreds of married couples attend night school together. Other thousands take lessons through the mail and study at home together. You could even marry and continue in college. It has been done. By all means, don't cee e educating yourself because yo marry. For the more you know, the more likely you will be to make of marriage a success.
Stubborn Cougns Ended by Recipe, Mixed at Home
Here is the famous old recipe which millions of housewives have found to be the most dependable means of breaking up a stubborn, lingering cough. It takes but a moment to prepare and costs little, but it gives real relief even for those dreaded coughs that follow severe cold epidemics. From any druggist, get $2\frac{1}{2}$ ounces of linex, pour it into a pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. Thus you make full pint of better remedy than you could buy ready-made for three times the post. It never spoils and tastes so good that even children like it.
Not only does this simple mixture soothe and heal the inflamed throat membranes with surprising ease, but also it is absorbed into the blood, and acts directly upon the conchial tubes, thus aiding the whole system in throwing off the cough. It loosens the germ-laden phlegm and eases chest紧ness in a way that is really astonishing. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a reed, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helpful in cases of dississing coughs, chest colds, and bronchial tubes.
Do not accept a substitute Pinex. is guaranteed to give prompt relief or they refunded.
ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 4. 1930
In the case of children, this attitude is disastrous. For fear that they will be taken for meniak many children refuse to pick up fallen things for elders. They hesitate about getting a glass of water for a teacher. They decline to do accommodating errands.
Naturally, children are anxious to do things. They do not wish to do them regularly or over a sustained period because they have to be taught habits of industry. But they start out liking to be active and to be pleasing, as a rule. So, the parent, who directly or indirectly puts into the child's mind the idea that he should not be courteous and helpful, doesn't realize what damage he is doing.
The reasons back of his attitude may be deep down in the petty sufferings which he has endured over a long period of years. But the school-world in which the child finds himself is relatively free from these annoyances. The teachers are not conscious of them. The child is not. All that appears on the surface is a contrary child whose breeding and training are very poor. Such may not be the case at all. It is only the result of a wrong method in dealing with a problem.
It is much better to keep from the child all the bitterness that has crept into the parent's life. Let each one have a happy childhood. Encourage good manners toward everyone. Encourage the desire to be helpful. Only step in when gross advantage is being taken, and that is not often in schools.
Therefore, to earn the coveted reputation of being well-bred, parents must put behind them all thoughts of resentment, and cling to principles which they know are generally right, and only vary from them when a concrete instance demands it.

MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS
A Story of Sacrifice, Romance, Humor and Tragedy
by
DU BOSE
HEYWARD
Author of
PORGY
Lissa has blossomed into a maiden of exotic beauty. She has become identified with an intellectual group where her voice—the deep contralto, handed down from Mamba through Baxter—has attracted much attention.
Lissa is now a member of Charleston's intelligentsia, where she meets Frank North, a young Negro painter and violinist. He is very talented and worthwhile, and is interested in Lissa.
Lissa is considerably disgusted with her lofty associates. One day she tells Mamba that in spite of the fact that she is told to be proud of her Negro heritage, all her associates are trying their "damndest" to be white.
Gardinia Whitmore, a mulatto beauty and the true flapper type, seeks Lissa's companionship. But Lissa, because of her refined nature, is rather afraid of Gardinia's overtures.
Gardinia has asked Lissa to accompany her on a "wild" party. After much inward conflict Lissa consents to go. But she soon abandons her accustomed reserve and becomes the scintillating life of the party.
Prince, the village sheik, whose favor is courted by all the fair damsels, is attracted to Lissa. He proceeds to give Lissa a "good time."
Prince does not meet with the approval of Mamba. Nevertheless, Lissa introduces Mamba to Prince as the young couple are about to go upon another of their frequent aut rides. The auto ride ends at a dance, where the whole crowd falls a victim to Prince's bad liquor. Gardinia, a member of the crowd, recovers from her intoxicated spell only after she has discovered that Prince and Lissa have disappeared from the bunch.
Gardinia makes good her promise to Mamba to "look out" for Lissa by immediately notifying her of Prince and Lissa's disappearance.
Mamba senses the danger and immediately summons Hagar, who, having been told that "Prince" is none other than Gilly Bluton, whom she befriended years before, recognizes the necessity of immediate action.
Hagar remembers an isolated cabin frequented by "Prince" during the latter's underworld activities. Thereupon, she and Mamba set out for the cabin. As they approached it, they hear Lissa's frightened voice.
When they open the door they find Lissa seated in a corner with her dress torn and arms locked about her legs below the knees. "Prince" stands over her in a threatening manner.
Lissa leaps into Mamba's arms and together they leave the cabin. Hagar, completely forgetting herself, unleashes her great strength upon the cowering and ungrateful "Prince," and strangles him to death with her bare hands.
Hagar is forced into hiding. Mamba sends Lissa to New York City, where Saint Wentworth meets her.
Saint and Lissa take a taxi for the home of the Reverend Thomas Grayson. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY--
"How are you fixed for money," he asked bluntly.
She opened her handbag and gave him a roll of bills and a pass book on a Charleston bank. He counted the money—three hundred dollars. Then he opened the pass book. It showed an account in the name of Lissa Atkinson that had been opened nineteen years previously. He spun the pages that exhibited columns of deposits of one dollar—sometimes two—here and there a week was skipped. That was when Hagar was up for a fine. he thought. After each of these eloquent breaks the amounts would run to one-fifty or even two-fifty until the deficit had been made good He came to the final page and found the balance: fourteen hundred and twenty-five dollars. For a moment he sat struck dumb by the utter beauty of the thing that lay behind the prosaic columns of figures. Mamba—a maker of bricks without straw, a disciple of a single transcendent ideal, in the name of which she had worked her obscure miracles, with no e to know, none to applaud.
Wentworth turned with a new curiosity to examine the girl who had been the cause of such devotion. The very magnitude of the sacrifices which she represented endowed her with an importance out of proportion to herself as an individual. She was a symbol into which had gone the blind upward urges, the stumbling aspirations, the great, fantastically conceived dreams of the old woman, and behind Mamba, of millions of her inarticulate kin.
During the brief space of time that he had been with the girl, Wentworth had been conscious of a growing annoyance at her calm acceptance of the sacrifices that were being made for her, at the coolness with which she had precipitated a wreck, then left the debris for others to clear away. Mamba, Hagar, Grayson, himself, would attend to details. Why should she worry? Now the little book that he held suddenly explained her attitude. It went further and convinced him in some inexplicable fashion that her assumption was justified.
Lissa would attain her goal because she, like her grandmother, had never once removed her gaze from it. He knew, of course, of the girl's reputation in coloured circles as a singer, and of Mamba's faith in her future. Now he saw that this faith was the only thing that mattered in their lives. It had been born and bred into the girl. Her own belief in herself was supreme. Of the great

faith that she and Mamba held in common there were certain articles that she must perform. Mamba h: others. It was their job to carry through together; the job of believing in a thing so intensely, so singlemindedly, that the day would come when that belief should become an accomplished fact. If Lissa hesitated now, if she removed her gaze from the steady light to which it had become accustomed, and turned back, dazzled and blundering, she would have broken faith with Mamba. She would be guilty of unpardonable weakness. She must look only forward, and leave the road that she had traveled to the watchful eyes of the old woman.
A pang of envy assailed Wentworth. Of late he had been enormously pleased with himself. He was a success. Charleston said so, and, as it had watched him from boyhood, it ought to know. The symbols of

conquest were his. Next week he would return to town with Valerie, then comfort—love—probably children—an ordered and beautifully completed existence. Yet there he sat envying an unknown mulatto girl, and seeing with a sudden and terrible clarity a seedy youth in a country store hunched over a guitar, groping for the unattainable with eager, clumsy fingers. But the past had reached dead hands after him, guiding him imperceptibly this way and that. Forces that had driven forward in grooves for generations ha. pulled against his amorphous longin , his only half-realised dreams—had held him true to form and tradition. Behind Lissa there had been Nothing; before her, Mamba's one immovable idea. An old loneliness that he had known in that far-gone time stabbed up through his complacence, and now he knew that it had been a singular and beautiful thing, and that there exists for certain solitary spirits a loneliness that holds more ecstasy that the delight of any human companionship. And so to-morrow was to be his wedding day. And there was Lissa following her dream.
He realised that his hands were trembling, and he tensed them savagely He was a sentimental fool. His mother had been right. Val had been right. Life would still be an adventure.
He stole a glance at his companion and realised that she was no longer conscious of his presence. She was sitting forward with her gaze fastened upon the crowds, the towering buildings, the surging traffic. Over their heads the Elevated hurled its mechanical thunders. From a yawning excavation almost directly under their hurrying wheels thudded the heavy detonations of blasting. Faces

hurtled by in taxis. Faces intent and watchful swept in full tide along the pavements. After a while the girl turned toward Saint, and in her first remark showed that already she had sensed a thing that the Southern white man had never felt, that in the vast unconcern of this city there was escape; that in the very heart of this crowd there was a strange and private hiding place where no one had time to wonder who you were or what you were doing.
"This is where I belong, Mr. Saint," she said. "Nobody here has time to wonder whether I am even white or coloured."
Presently they were on Lenox Avenue north of the line, and the white faces were behind them. Lissa saw the change instantly, and her composure vanished. She clapped her hands with a delight like that of a child. "Here are my folks, Mr. Saint," she exclaimed. "See, everywhere—and such big houses."
The taxi swerved to the right, and they were in a street that showed a glimpse of the East River under the high-flung bridge of the Elevated. Then they drew to the curb and stopped. Wentworth awakened to the realisation that he was sitting with Lissa's money and bank book still in his hands. He put them hastily back into her bag, took the valise, got out, and discharged the driver.
They found themselves on the pavement before a three-story brownstone building. Over a push button beside the door was a brass plate which stated: "Rectory of St. John's Episcopal Church." The muiatto maid who admitted them said that the Reverend Thomas Grayson lived there, was at home, and would be with them presently.
In the few minutes during which

they sat in the quietly furnished room Saint was again impressed by Lissa's case and appearance of belonging. Once their eyes met, and she gave nim the bright, transfiguring smile that linked her with Mamba and Hagar, but, except in that moment, he felt she was already at home in the alien metropolis and that he was the provincial visitor.
Grayson entered, holding Saint's card in his hand. He was older than as Wentworth remembered him, and his expression of seriousness had deepened almost to one of solemnity. His shoulders and chest had grown heavy with his greater maturity. The large head set firmly on his short neck gave an impression of rock-like solidity to the figure. His ears were small and close-set, and the closely clipped graying hair revealed the lines of his skull and stressed the Negroid formation. The years that had passed since his residence in the South had produced in some subtle way an appearance more characteristically negro, a race consciousness that had become definitely assertive. He conveyed a sense of power, but it was the power of one who moves slowly, predicating action upon a laborious logic, not to be swayed by an appeal to the emotions until the matter had been thoroughly weighed. Knowing his history, one would have said that his experience in the South had taught him to fear and distrust emotional hysteria, and had swung him to pure reason as a basis for behaviour. As a result his position in Harlem was one of unique importance, for his church had attracted the rising intellectual element, and through them he was in contact with the leaders o. advanced thought among the white people of the me-

tropolis, thus profiting by this first opportunity of the race in America to meet the Caucasian upon an equal basis of give and take. Grayson showed no surprise at the visit., and sat in an attitude of easy attention while Lissa told him her story. Then the girl drew the little prayer book from her bag, opened it at the flyleaf, and handed it to him. "My mother said to show you this," she said simply, "and ask you to look out for me."
He sat looking at the page for a moment, then he raised his eyes to Saint's. "The mills of the gods, Mr. Wentworth." he said; "perhaps my venture into the mission field has borne fruit after all."
He turned to Lissa. "And you will stay here for a while, at any rate, with my wife and me. We have no children of our own. She will be glad."
Saint thanked him and, feeling an enormous relief from the burden of responsibility, took his departure.
The maid appeared to show him out, and while she was handing him stick and hat he caught from the drawing room a fragment of conversation that he was never to forget: the deep voice of Grayson said, "And you, my child, have you any plans? Is there anything that you can do?" And immediately into the ensuing hush like the cry of a bird at dawn

Coughs from colds may lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for coughs from colds and bronchial irritations. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs.

came the answer: "I can sing." For several minutes after the departure of Lissa and Mamba Hagar stood in the road. Her eyes, still resting on the spot where the car had stood when Lissa had embraced her, were wide and intent, like those of a sleep-walker, and a faint, fixed smile was upon her lips.
In a scrawny cedar close by there sounded a drowsy flapping of wings, then Maum Vina's big rooster stood erect on a limb, arched his neck eastward, and flung a ringing challenge into the teeth of the advancing day.
With a start Hagar recovered hersel and looked about her. She was quite alone now, and there was something to be faced there in the dark without Mamba, without anyone; all by herself now she must make plans and carry them out. She thought of Bluto lying in the shack, but with neither regret nor terror at what she had done. Only out of that thought there seemed to grow a blackness that menaced Lissa and that was unendurable
She turned and entered the cabin, and with a clumsy meticulousness, as though every simple movement were the result of an elaborate mental process, she made her preparations for departure. In the faint glow of the lowered kerosene lamp that stood beside Maum Vina's bed, she dressed herself and made up a small pack-

Back Quit Hurting
"IN the spring (about 1924), I was suffering with extreme weakness," says Mrs. Martha M. Reed, 2415 Palmyra St., New Orleans, La., whose picture is printed above. "This seemed to affect my back. I could not tell how much I suffered, but was tired and nervous all the time. I complained a good deal, for I just couldn't help it.
"My husband advised me to try Cardui, which I did. I took two bottles at this time, and soon I was well and strong. I seemed to be much better after taking it and my back quit hurting.
"Once since, when I felt I needed a tonic, I took two bottles of Cardui. Again I felt much stronger. I am in splendid health now, and I recommend Cardui to my friends."
