GARY Charges Ha Ask Removal O Marines ★★★★★★★★★★ Haitian alOf All nes In Haiti DISSATISFACTION IS SEEN AS CAUSE OF UPRISINGS IN HAITI Charges Haitian AskRemovalOfAll Marines In Haiti Howard Professor Recommends Removal of Brigadier General in Islands WASHINGTON - In speaking on the subject "The Next Step in Haiti," before the Howard university forum Wednesday evening, Prof. Rayford Logan of Va. Union university recalled incidents between October 31 and December 8, of last year that led up to the student strike, suggesting amicable adjustment. The principal cause was the dissatisfaction of the natives with the administration of Dr. Freeman of Alabama, who is in charge of vocational training. Natives, according to Prof. Logan, had been assured that as they acquired training they would be promoted to responsible positions in connection with their educational institutions. Instead, other Southern white men were brought over by Dr. Freeman and placed in charge which meant an inability to increase the $15 scholarships that had been provided native students. One case of dissatisfaction with the American directors of education who are regarded as experts, is their inability to speak French, having to make themselves intelligible through interpreters. The crux of the political situation seems to grow out of the phraseology of the constitution which provides that elections shall be "in an even year." This has been interpreted to mean any even year, with no definiteness as to time, which makes it possible (Continued on page 3) Talking Pictures To Be Shown Rex Theatre Beginn Be Shown At Beginning Sunday Talking Pictures To Be Shown At Rex Theatre Beginning Sunday "College Love," on Wednesday and Thursday, January 22 and 23; and the "Broadway Melody," an all talking musical comedy, on January 24 and 25. The Rex Theatre is under the management of Orville Noble, former assistant manager of the Broadway theatre whose experience in the show business has covered a period of several years. Florida More Popular As a Winter Resort Approximately three motorists in Chicago and vicinity select Florida for their winter vacation to every single car owner who motors to California at this time of the year, according to a statement issued by the touring bureau of the Chicago Motor club. "It was only recently that residents of the central states 'discovered' Florida," the bureau stated. "Four years ago the two states enjoyed equal popularity among winter tourists. There is no question that the traffic to Florida this year will break all records." —"Optician says that only about 10 per cent of the people have perfect vision. The 90 per cent constitute the cock-eyed world," says the Arkansas Gazette. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` VOLUME III. No.9 Race Attitudes In Children To Be Topic Of Meet A genearl discussion of Prof. Bruno Lasko's books, "Race Attitudes in Children," will be held at the Hunton branch Y.M.C.A., Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, according to an announcement made today. The book, it is said, has created quite a sensation since it was published, and the review and discussion of the publication is expected to be of special interest to all residents of Gary. The public is invited to attend the meeting. January Is Month For Self-Analysis January is a month for taking inventory, inventory of one's self as well as one's business. Instead of making a lot of resolutions that are likely to be broken before the year is over, it might be well to take stock of your innate resources, says the National Home Study Council of Washington, D. C. "Sit down and think over the following questions: Am I making the most of the powers and abilities that I have? I am as smart as Bill Smith; I have as pleasing a personality. Why is it that he is getting ahead, while I am jogging along in the same old rut? "Is it that his ability is all assembled, as it were, on display and ready for use, while mine is still crated and in the warehouse? "I am intelligent, I have a good brain, I am capable of learning new things. Am I taking advantage of the opportunities to train myself for the kind of a position I want? Am I making myself the kind of a person I want to be?" It is training that counts these days, as much or more than native ability. Talking pictures, which have recently become the rage of "movie" fans, can be seen and heard at the Rex theatre beginning Sunday, January 19, according to an announcement made late today. Installation of equipment to show sound pictures at the Rex has just been completed, and the very best talking pictures will be shown at the theatre at all times beginning Sunday, according to the announcement. The Rex theatre is one of the few independent pictures houses in the city. It has made arrangements to show talking pictures of all kinds and has contracts with all Hollywood's film producers. To start off with a bang, the first talking picture which will be shown at the Rex will be "Hearts in Dixie," an all-talking, all-singing, all-dancing picture in which the principal parts are played by a cast composed of colored artists. It will be shown Sunday, January 19. Stepin Fetchit, whose parts in pictures have made him one of the most popular movie stars in filmdom, plays one of the leading roles in "Hearts in Dixie." In addition to this, a news reel in sound will also be shown on the same program. "Hearts in Dixie" will be shown for one day only, Sunday, January 19. Other talking pictures which are scheduled to come to the Rex are: "Fox Movietone Follies" on Monday and Tuesday, January 20 and 21: The Gary American Office of Publication: 7 East 19th Avenue Telephone Gary 2-4660 — If Busy, Call Gary 2-3865 GARY, INDIANA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1930 Officials Heads Store J. Luther F. Simpkins To show its appreciation for the patronage of their colored customers, Sears, Roebuck have appointed Luther F. Simpkins, manager of their South Side store in Chicago. A number of colored clerks are also employed at the store. A retail department store, operated in Gary, employs three colored men, all residents of Gary. ELKS LAUNCH NEW PROGRAM FOR YEAR Lodge Starts Burial Fund Department Along With Its Educational Move About four years ago it came into the mind of Mrs. Clara E. Webster that every Daughter Elk should have the same rating and value in the state of Indiana. She carried this thought and idea to the next state meeting of the Indiana State association which was held in Muncie, Indiana. To past Grand Daughter Ruler, Ella G. Berry, she presented the idea of formulating a Burial Fund Department to the Indiana State association. The women grasped the plan and the program started. Some who felt that it was such a big undertaking and doubted it being worth began the usual fight that goes along with any new project. Mrs. Webster, determined in her desire and zeal to help the state, kept pushing ahead and had the matter fully thrashed out by the Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson. After every angle of the Burial Fund Department and its by-laws had carefully been gone over by the superior officers, it was then that Wilson came to Anderson and declared unto the "Bills in state session that it was one of the finest plans that he had seen for uplifting Elkdom in Indiana." After many speeches in favor of the Burial Fund Department it was unanimously adapted by the Indiana State association of Lodges and Temples. Owing to the fact that the Temples had been actively working on the matter for four years, they were able to begin operation much sooner than the Male lodges. According to a vote of the Executive Board of the Indiana State association of Temples which was held in Muncie, Indiana, Nov. 29, the state daughter ruler was empowered to declare the burial fund department of the Temples in operation January 1, 1930. This is another big state program for the Elks. Only a few years ago the National Educational program had its birth in the city of Gary in the mind of Judge W. C. Hueston who is Commissioner of Education. More than 72 girls and boys are reaping a real education from this program. This sterling move has received the respect and commendation of every educator in the country. --- CLAIMS STEP DAD THREATENED HIM. ABUSED MOTHER CLAIMS STEP DAD THREATENED HIM. ABUSED MOTHER Boy Flees After Slaying, But Later Gives Self Up to Police, Confesses Driven to desperation by the cruelty of his step-father to his mother, Alfred Williams, 23, 1902 Maryland, snatched a butcher knife from a kitchen table, and fatally stabbed his father, Robert Williams, age 38, during a family quarrel in their home late Monday night. Realizing what he had done, Williams fled immediately after the stabbing. He gave himself up to police Tuesday on a charge of manslaughter. According to the story told police, the elderly Williams for several weeks had been in the habit of coming home and heaping abuse upon his wife, mother of Alfred. In the altercation, Monday night, the elderly Williams is said to have started a fuss with the boy's mother and struck her several times in the face. When he threatened to kill her, the son jumped between the two, reached for a butcher knife lying on the kitchen table, and stabbed his parent in the abdomen. He died shortly afterwards. The Lake County grand jury has been called to investigate the Williams slaying and will probably return an indictment Monday. The body of the slain man was removed to Guy's funeral home. President of Worker's League Sees Whole Life of Nation Dependent Upon Workers By ANDREW JACKSON President Worker's Mutual Industrial League The Negro must prepare a foundation for life. We must build a wall that will serve as a bulwark to help stem the onrush of the tempetuous tide of life. The industrial wheel must not cease. We must see that it moves perpetually on. Never forget for one moment that industrial activities are the backbone of a nation, country or community, and anything without a backbone cannot exist very successfully. For an example, the steel mills are the only industries which the city of Gary is supported by. Let the mills cease operations for two months and we can clearly see the condition that Gary would be in and imagine how many of us would be here at the expiration of the two months. The professional world depends upon industrial activities as well as others of us. In fact, everything depends upon, and is supported by, industry. Churches, clubs and lodges are urged to join the movement to help us to win promotion and recognition, and help us to perpetuate industrialism. The American Negro has double advantage of Negroes in other countries to grasp opportunities which he otherwise tramples under feet. These opportunities he could easily make use of if he would only take heed and practice self-reliance. Industry is knowledge and we should attain our share of it, and by doing this we will help open the door of knowledge for oncoming generations. An electric motor that can be operated from a light socket has been invented by a Chicago man to rock babies to sleep in their carriages. ★★★★★★★★ On Safety Board 62 Lloyd B. Snowden Appointment of Lloyd B. Snowden former city controller, as president of the board of public safety, has been construed by central district leaders as an unmistakable sign that on all matters relating to police protection colored people of Gary will get "a square deal" from the Johnson administration. Snowden has served under two administrations. DEATH ENDS WORK OF CLUB WOMAN DEATH ENDS WORK OF CLUB WOMAN Two of City's Most Prominent Women Succumb Within The Same Week Careers of two of Gary's most prominent women, both of them active in the affairs of the city, were abruptly brought to an end last week by the grim monster—death. After an illness of many months, Mrs. Martha Nash, 36 years of age, 1976 Washington street, died at her home Sunday, January 5. Funeral services were held at St. Paul Baptist church Thursday with the Rev. W. F. Lovelace officiating. Mrs. Nash was a resident of Gary for eleven years. She was an ardent political worker and active in club work. She was a member of Emma L. Cherry temple. No. 135. She is survived by a husband, Edward Nash, one sister and other relatives, all of Gary. The second person to die within the same week was Mrs. Ella M. White, age 447, 1803 Broadway, who died Wednesday, January 8, after a brief illness. Funeral services were held at the Community Center church with the Rev. H. P. Jones, pastor, officiating. Mrs. White was a member of Evergreen chapter, Order of Eastern Star and the Superior Court of Calanthe. For several years, she was chairman of the ways and means committee of the Indiana State Federation of Colored Women's clubs. Always active in club and political work, she was a past president of the City Federation of Colored Women's clubs. For five years she was deputy township assessor under Major John McFadden, township assessor, who regarded her work highly. She is survived by a husband, Thomas White, of 1803 Broadway. "The Virginian" Is Playing at Roosevelt Again the screen has taken a popular novel and made a smashing movie success of it. "The Virginian," all talking picture now playing at the Roosevelt theater is a direct adaption from the novel of the same name by Owen Wister. The book was known especially for its superb action and adventure . . . the picture has retained these qualities and added to them the screen's ability to produce such scenes with dramatic value. HOME EDITION THER! Raps Borno nds Work On Gary partment After 3 Years Mrs. Webster Ends Work On Gary Police Department After 3 Years --- ★★★★★★★★★ Just two hours before Mayor R. O. Johnson took oath of office, Mrs. Clara E. Webster of 753 W. 25th avenue, appeared at the city hall and passed in her resignation as city police-woman. Mrs. Webster had been stationed at the Roosevelt school as a safety officer, caring for the children as they crossed the streets. She had been at this building for three years and every child in the center obeyed and respected her. During the three years that Mrs. Webster had charge only one minor accident was recorded, and not a single arrest. "I adopted courtesy as my motto and when I had a need to call a motorist in question I was always able to get his best co-operation," she said. Mrs. Webster was formerly township investigator out of the office of Miss Mary Newlin. She served three and a half years in this capacity having been the first colored woman to be appointed to such office in Lake County. When interviewed, Mrs. Webster stated, "I realized that my job was a political job and I knew that I did not support Mr. Johnson and I was not entitled to any special favor from him. I feel that I should play the game as I would like for others to play it with me. I further feel that the good colored women that supported the present Mayor should have the spoils. Hence I gave my place up rather than stand around in the way." She is an ardent religious worker. About 6 years ago she entered the evangelistic work and is one of the foremost and influential members of Chicago conference of the A.M.E. church. Just a year ago she was the piloting leader in the construction of new St. James A.M.E. church at 26th and Mass. street. Mrs. Webster is the state daughter ruler of the Indiana State Association of Elks and has been successful in organizing the burial fund department. Porter Foils Bank Robbery Porter Foils Bank Robbery ELDORADO, ARK.—(ANP) —To Henry Harris, porter of the National Bank of Commerce and Trust Company, goes the credit for frustrating an attempt made to rob the bank here Tuesday morning. Harris, who has been in the employ of the bank for a number of years, entered the bank about 6:30 o'clock Tuesday morning to clean up the place before the other employees arrived. When he went into the directors' room a hooded man pushed a pistol in his face and demanded him to throw up his hands. The command of the bandit was disregarded by Harris, who instead of sticking his hands up, darted quickly behind a curtain and turned in the burglar alarm. Seeing that he had been foiled, the bandit made his escape out of the back door, through which Harris had entered. When the police arrived Harris told him of his experience and subsequent search of the neighborhood revealed the black hood worn by the bandit and a pair of overalls on the top of a car about two blocks from the bank, where it is thought the robber must have discarded them. Schools Get Most of City's Taxes, Claim WASHINGTON - Public schools take a larger percentage of the average city's budget than any other single item of expense according to the National Home Study Council of Washington, D. C. PRICE FIVE CENTS Council To Be Formed Here To Study Needs A community council, composed of all social and civic groups, to discuss the problems of the people of Gary, will be soon organized here, according to an announcement made today. Aiming to serve as a "clearing house for community opinion," the council will initiate cooperation among the various social and civic groups in the city in an effort to bring needed improvements to residents of Gary's central district. It is planned to hold a general organization meeting to complete the council as soon as more specific details are completed. The proposal to form the body was made in a resolution adopted by the Gary Noonday Business club at its Emancipation Day program last New Years Day. The organization committee appointed by the Noonday club consists of Pro. H. Theo. Tatum, principal of East Pulaski street school, Miss Thyra Edwards, Mrs. A. L. Harris, Former Councilman Arthur Whitlock, Prof. J. L. Lawson and Dr. Charles R. Wood.

Radios Keep Pianos In Tune Nowadays WASHINGTON—"Homes that possess radios have a new method of keeping pianos in tune," says the National Home Study Council of Washington, D. C. "All musical instruments used in radio broadcasting are keyed to the official pitch established by the American Federation of Musicians. When a piano or other musical instrument is out of tune in a home where there is a radio set, the player of the instrument detects it immediately and is able to correct it." The Hawaiian Islands have 23.5 motor vehicles to every mile of road.

Copyright, 1929, by The Gary American Publishing Company, Incorporated. The Newspaper And Sales The Newspaper And Sales Modern life is much different today from what it was a decade ago. Today, a great deal of buying is done over the telephone. This, in turn, means that opportunities for purchases advantageous to the buyers are now almost completely centered in newspaper advertising. The modern housewife knows what she wants, knows by brand name, and orders in that manner—because advertising has taught her how she should do it and why it is profitable for her to do so. Imagine ordering from an unknown grocer "some breakfast food," "some bacon," "some coffee," "some bread"—and so on, as in the olden days before national advertising became the powerful force it is today. Someone says more religion is needed but fails to suggest a mon-icker for the new sect. Eleven months of the year still remain, and already a lot of second-hand good intentions are available for paving purposes. It is estimated that fifty per cent of church members contribute nothing to its support. It is also estimated that they get out of the church just about what they put into it. The 224th anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin comes at a time when there is a marked revival of interest in this genius of Revolutionary America. His country is rediscovering him. The passing of generations has not dwarfed him. He seems to tower more and more over his contemporaries as the perspective of history lengthens. This is hardly because Franklin brought the lightning down from the sky, or because he collected data on waterspouts and earthquakes, or devised a remedy for smoking chimneys, or invented bifocal spectacles, or made a clock, or had more than an average knowledge of medicine. Nor is it due to his political services, great as they were; nor to his publishing and printing activities; nor to his having signed the Declaration of Independence. He was the first "civilized" public man in America. That accounts for his ever-growing fame. It was the many-sidedness of Franklin, along with his humanity and his magnetism, that has projected the greatness of him down to the present time. In his era the man was a modernist. There was nothing reactionary in his make-up, and yet he was never a radical. Benjamin Franklin's enduring fame seems to rest upon the fact that he was so far in advance of his day and generation. He would not be lost in this modern world, nor be bewildered by it. It is in the many ways in which he differed from his contemporaries rather than in his kinship with them that he stands out from his time. On Democratic Government It should be the aim of a free and democratic government to allow individuals the right to advocate doctrines that they believe are beneficial to humanity. When individuals or organizations urge measures which threaten damage to life, liberty or property the law should step in. There can be no half-way measures with freedom of speech. Anarchy and rebellion are the result of oppression, not of liberty. Intellectual freedom should be praised and protected. The United States was founded to provide its citizens with the very ultimate of freedom up to the point where life or property is menaced. Once that fundamental principal is changed, democracy will be dead. A Dubious Cure For Crime A move has been started to pass a law regulating interstate shipments of firearms. According to the proponents of the law, a pistol is of no possible use as a weapon of defense to the law-abiding citizen because of the element of surprise. This is a highly dubious statement as there are many cases—such as a prowler heard in a house or a robber holding up a train—where the armed citizen is not taken by surprise. But even taking it at its face value, is it a valid argument against ownership of guns by law-abiding citizens? What of the psychological advantage accruing to criminals who know that the law-abiding citizen is unarmed, and hence, even if he is warned ahead of time, cannot defend himself. What of that more important phase of the problem, constitutional rights? In several great cities stringent anti-pistol laws are in effect. Has crime decreased? It has not. A well-armed citizenry would be a strong defense against crime if only for the reason that it would make criminals think twice before entering a house or holding up an office or store. Proponents of anti-pistol laws are interested in stopping crime as are all good citizens. But the remedy they propose would seem to substitute fancy for reason. Page Two SATURDAY.

Makes Recommendations After reviewing the economic situation, in which he showed no great material prosperity as a result of American Occupation, Prof. Logan concluded his address with the following recommendations: 1. Replace brigadier general by a civil commission. Such officers are absolutely incapable of governing a civil population. 2. So amend the constitution as to change the date of election to the Legislature to April 10, instead of dan 10, and to hold the election on April 10, 1930, even if it is necessary for Marine supervision as was had in Nicaragua. 3. Allow this Legislature to elect a president with the understanding that President Borno is ineligible to succeed himself. 4. If deemed advisable, appoint an Upper House of five members of American commission, five members of President Borno's party and five Republicans. 5. Give the Civil Commission the same power of veto as that exercised by the United States. 6. Drill Haitians in all phases of administration, especially the highest principles of finance. 7. Abolish present service technique and send Dr. Freeman back to American Place both vocational and academic education under Haitian control. 8. Let our clear defined policy be to give Haitians a fair chance to govern themselves with the understanding that if they make good, they will become independent in 1936. "We have six more years, and if we do not train the Haitians to govern themselves, either we will say that they are not yet ready for independence and continue the occupation, or the Americans will get out without giving them an opportunity to govern themselves and leave them at the point which will result in a revolution which will result in the annexation of Haiti." —There are more than 1,024,000 persons by the name of Johnson in the United States. —At the beginninv of the Christian era, there were approximately 1,900,-000 homes in ancient Rome.

Head By CHARLES L. JAMES In the glorious age of youth there should be no such word as failure, yet it is so difficult to find young men who will stick to a purpose for the good of that purpose; it is so hard to find young men who will maintain a principle for the worth of that principle and if there is one race that needs such men in the world today, God almight knows it is the Black race. We need men of vision and ability; men of honesty and integrity; stern men. The race is suffering from a lack of these qualities today. Despite the fact that the race suffers outward forces such as jimcrowism, lynching and segregation, one cannot but confess that the greatest hisdrance lies within the race itself. Knowing these facts, one must confess that what affects the individual affects the whole. Therefore, each member of the race should say, "It is my duty to help the Race rid itself of those faults that hinder the progress of the Race. Whether I be congressman, senator, lawyer, doctor or minister; whether I live in a palace or a hut, material differences are an accident, I am by birth a Negro.

The Stormy Car . Although in the midst of strangers, many of whom were semi-hostile toward Jack, he was no. perturbed. After the first few blows Burns realized that his fate was doomed. But he was game and fought with a gory head. The Gary American The old house where the desperate and feared Harding gang met. It was here that Margurite Miller encountered the gang-leader's wife and overpowered her to rescue the kidnapped baby. while others said he could have whipped any man in the world not only Johnson, but Dempsey, Wills and the best of the lot. However, it occurred to more sober-minded thinkers, that Ring Harding was a cowardly brute who knew a very little about pugilism and would never be good enough to present a clever showing in the ring against a scientific fighter. True, Harding had beaten men with his bare fists, but he was never satisfied with an honorable victory. When those men had fallen beneath the sledgehammer blows of his huge fists, he would continue the work by kicking them in the face with his heavy-soled shoes, on the toes of which were steel-plates, and not infrequently, he broke some of his victim's ribs, "kicking the slats" out of them, as gangsters say He wasn't a stand-up-toe-to-toe fighting man. He was a roughhouse butcher. The reputation he had earned for himself made people afraid of him, consequently he had no difficulty in handling the members of his gang, who, no doubt, were very much like himself. At any rate, Ring Harding's gang was known for miles along the Mississippi, and as much BOXING About midway the fight Jack began his "golden" smile, taunting Burns mischievously for his personal insults before the fight. Burns's blows were harmless, while Jack hit him at will but not using his full power. to prolong Burns's punishment feared as Jesse James in the days that celebrated outlaw. When people heard that the Harding gang were in their neighborhood they assembled with shotguns and any other useful weapons that were available, and awaited his arrival However, there was a lot of malicious deeds laid at Harding's door of which he was wholly innocent. Ring Harding was unscrupulous in accomplishing his plans Whenever he was in the least offended by any one, such person could always expect a terrible revenge. The daring gang leader thought more of a smile in times of extreme danger than he did of a frown. So if one smiled in his teeth when he was getting ready to inflict some great physical injury, he would be more likely to show mercy. There was an old abandoned building across the road from Lover's Leap, on the riverfront, and this building, which had all the windows knocked out, and which was alive with huge rats that scurried across the unsubstantial walks, frightening women, was the headquarters of the gang. Not that (Continued on page two) THE BOXING FIGHT In the fourteenth round, when Jack had decided to put an end to Burns's misery, the police inspection nested the fight.

Besides Best Remedy for Cough Is Easily Mixed at Home You'll never know how quickly a stubborn cough or chest cold can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, because it gives more prompt, positive relief than anything else. It's no trouble at all to mix and costs but a trifle. Into a pint bottle, pour 21/2 ounces of Finex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to make a full pint. This saves two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough medicine, and gives you a purer, better remedy. It never spoils, and tastes good—children like it. You can actually feel its penetrating, soothing action on the inflamed throat membranes. It is also absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. At the same time, it promptly loosens the germ-laden phlegm. This three-fold action explains why it brings such quick relief even in severe bronchial coughs which follow cold epidemics. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creasote, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded. A Dangerous Condition "There was a time when my health was not so good," says Mr. Miles Hopkins, of Catlettsburg, Ky. "I suffered a great deal from gas pains. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headaches, and I felt sluggish and dull. "I knew of Black-Draught as a medicine for CONSTIPATION so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison. "I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught. I kept it in my home and when I begin to feel lifeless and dull, I take a dose, after which I feel O. K. again. "I try to keep my system cleansed, and I find Black-Draught a great aid." 25 cents.

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 CREOM FOR THE COUGH FROM 1LLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 18. 1930 that, they occasionally concealed some of their loot there. They thought the old building would be the last place that would be searched, following a notorious and successful robbery. Moreover, it offered more advantages than any other place the desperate criminals could locate. It was dark and dank inside the building, and when one yelled at the top of one's voice, the sound came back with a fearful echo. However it wasn't at all impossible to hear sounds on the walk, if those sounds were loud enough. Be that as it may, when Ring Harding abducted the William C. Cole baby, and was holding it for five hundred dollars ransom, Margurite Miller, who was the child's devoted governess, launched a stubborn fight to rescue little Corine. She knew that the child's father would wait, thinking the kidnappers would not injure the baby, and further she knew that Cole would set the police after the Harding gang. Therefore, her cool, practical mind took all factors into consideration, and arrived at the irrevocable conclusion that it would be disastrous to trifle with the serious intentions of Ring Harding. Moreover, if the money wasn't immediately forthcoming, the dangerous claws of the kidnapper would close upon Corine's delicate throat. Ring Harding would have murdered a baby as quickly as he would have a two-hundred-pound man. Margurite Mille: wasn't stupid, and moreover, she had the courage of her convictions. Once, she had been considered a great swimmer, had several times featured in several water exhibitions in different parts of the state. Moreover, having been born and reared, like Harding, on the banks of the Mississippi, she knew every foot of this territory. Without doubt she would have made an excellen pilot. In any event, she had launched her fight to save the baby, and while William Cole was negotiating with the investigators, Margurite was experimenting with plans of her own. She visited the riverfront, searching the crowd that congregated there, for some trace of Harding, believing that if she saw the man she would know him. And for several hours she loitered about the colored places of business which struck her as being probable hangouts of the bandit leader. But she did not recognize him, if indeed he was there. At about dusk, she began her return trip home. She passed the old abandoned building, and saw the flare of a match through the broken pane of one of the windows.

This was a large, towering fellow who walked with a swagger . . . He was well dressed and wore a black derby. She could see only enough of his face to notice that the man had a broken nose. When the last of the two had vanished from sight, Margurite waited awhile, hoping that if there was another he would appear shortly. A second later she suddenly dashed into the house. The moment she stepped into the building, she heard the faint cry of an infant. Margurite knew she had found Corine! She was about to leap down the crooked, trembling staircase, when a figure rushed forward and grabbed her. Then began a battle for life! Margurite suspected that she was wrestling with a woman. Her suspicions were well-founded for her adversary was Harding's wife, Belle, a notorious creature who was almost as much feared as her husband. . . This increased Margurite's confidence in her ability to subdue her assailant. She was quicker, if not as strong as her well-gowned opponent, and she succeeded in stripping the clothes from the body of the other woman where she could cut her flesh enough to weaken her. When the fight ended, the only garment Belle wore, was a thin strip of silken material; and her exposed skin was torn and bleeding. Margurite had worked her adversary to a point of advantage, where the other stood with her back to the staircase, and had then tri- IF YOU DROPSY Suffer From IF YOU DROPSY Suffer From or dropsy swelling shortness of breath write us for FREE trial package.

Belle sustained a broken arm and the breath had been jarred from her body. Margurite found the baby in the basement of the building, and carried it to safety. She received a reward of one hundred dollars from anxious parents. But she aroused the enmity of Ring Harding. Nevertheless, Margurite isn't afraid. She smiles when the desperado's name is mentioned. At any rate, she is one woman that Harding has failed to impress with his bullylike attitude. And that smile will win much for Margurite if she does meet him.

Back home, Hagar disposes of Gilly Blu the town by committing suicide. 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 pai ter 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 auto 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, cognizes 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 approach 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, who, upon their arrival, offers Lissa the protection of his home—especially after Lissa produces the address given to her mother many years before by Grayson. Back home, Hagar disposes of Gilly Bluton's body in the swamp. She also amazes the town by committing suicide. —NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY— INSTALLMENT XVI pleased her to imagine, had taken matters into her own hands, and at the last had surprised her into that Above the metallic roar of the subway a brassy voice shouted "One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street," and, like a succession of enormous exclamation points flung for emphasis after the words, a series of posts flickered across Lissa's vision. Gradually the perpendicular bars lessened their speed until finally each exhibited the numerals 125 in black against the glaring white. Behind the girl the hurtling darkness fell away. The train shot out into a pool of light and came to rest with a jerk that precipitated her through a newspaper and against a hostile breast. Doors sprang open with mechanical precision, and with a sigh of relief packed white and black broke their enforced common imprisonment, the Negroes pouring out on the platform, the whites appropriating their places and regarding their retreating backs with resentment and relief. On the platform the dark mass hesitated for a moment, drew deep breaths, stretched limbs, then, like a breaker that has found the shore, it lifted, caught Lissa up on its crest, hurled her before it up the stairway, and deposited her breathless, but triumphant, on the pavement. Saturday afternoon—her first thrilling week of study under Salinski behind her—his grudging word of praise singing in her ears. The day was warm, but the sun lacked the torrid pressure that enervated Lissa during the Southern summers. Over her head the sky was no longer the throbbing cobalt of a Charleston noon, but a thin ultramarine that seemed to lessen the power of gravitation and lift her along with a new buoyance. She swung east in the direction of her home. In her new liberating environment an inherent elegance in her carriage and manner that had impressed her Charleston neighbors as merely amusing lent her distinction and gave her that air of self-assurance which in Harlem differentiates the cosmopolite from the newly arrived provincial. She was clad briefly in dark blue, tailored silk. The colour was a concession to Mamba, the brevity to Harlem. A scarf of flamingo red was knotted loosely about her throat, and a small jaunty hat of the same shade fitted closely about her head. Below the dress a rather astonishing length of champagne silk stocking was evident, and, symbolic of her complete emancipation, these terminated in a pair of red high-heeled pumps. She carried a modish vanity case, and a small umbrella in the accenting colour was pendent from one elbow. With that power to evoke memory which contrast possesses to an even greater extent than similarity, the alien setting switched the girl's thoughts back to her last eventful night in Charleston. She had been a member of the Grayson family for ten days, and with her faculty for expelling from her mind all that caused her discomfort, the tragedy of Bluton's death and her hurried departure were already as completely dissociated from her life as a printed story in a book that has been replaced upon its shelf. Out of the experience only one impression remained sharp and actual—Hagar, who in that hour had suddenly materialised out of the characterless parent that it had --- eotic beauty.

It was strange that she could feel no horrce over her mother's act. On the contrary, a, latent savagery in her own nature caused her to feel a curious pride, a deep sense of sympathy with her mother, and a realisation of a kinship closer even than that which existed between Mamba and herself. Out of the sheltered life that Mamba had provided for her with its dependence upon the protection that civilization throws about the weaker individual, she had crashed suddenly into conflict with life in the raw, and she had been helpless. During that hour when Bluton had held her captive, and behind the shack the swamp voices had shrilled and wailed in implacable nocturnal Toothache Blues wow!

Then Hagar had come, terrible in her direct and unfettered simplicity, and had put Blutor beyond the power ever to harm her again. After the years of separation Hagar had stood forth in that one illuminating hour more real, move vividly alive, than Mamba, for all of the old woman's shrewd planning and untiring devotion. Then, in the moment of parting, had come the climax when the big, inarticulate woman had kissed her hand and she had found herself in her arms. Her reason told her that here was a specific act for which she should be ashamed of her mother, yet by some strange paradox the thought of her was a swift infusion of warmth—a feeling of completeness where before there had been a sense of want—a sudden, inexplicable pride of birth. For the first time in her life she quickened to the realisation of all that Hagar had done for her—the money that she had sent each week for her music—her clothes. And she had never even gone to see her. It made her feel ashamed. "Well," she told herself, "I'll be able to make it up to her before long." Now that Salinski had undertaken her training, and with the money that could be made in New York. She took the brown-stone steps of her new home two at a time. In a vivid flash she saw Mamba's face wearing its mask of ferocious disapproval. Do you call that being a lady? What the hell! Now she was free—neither a lady of the Broaden set nor a waterfront "nigger." Lissa Atkinson with at last a will of her own—nothing behind her, and everything that she wanted from life waiting for her around the next corner. She let herself into the dim coolness of the hall. In the drawing room a song stopped in the middle of a bar, and Ada Grayson parted the portieres and kissed the girl affectionately. With her glasses, her slow, kind smile, she was ridiculously like her husband in appearance. Lissa had liked her from the moment when the three of them had sat together after Saint had left her in the drawing room, and Ada had watched her husband's face with divining intensity: then, realising that under his words he had really wanted the girl to stay and was not merely submitting to a command of conscience, had taken her into her affectons without reser- (Continued on Page Four) --- When Pain Comes Two hours after eating What many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach.

"You'll find a letter from home on your dresser, and I know you're anxious for news." Her new buoyance lifted Lissa up the stairs with the effortless spring that had brought her down the street and up the front steps. It shot her breezily into the room and across to the dresser, where the letter lay with her name staring boldly up into her face. Then her mood went slack. The air of the room seemed suddenly chill, inhospitable. She picked the letter up gingerly between a slender thumb and index finger. Whose was the bold, disjointed handwriting? It startled her like the shouting of her name by an unfamiliar voice. Slowly, reluctantly, a slender flexible index finger slid beneath the flap. She paused and examined her hand with an impersonal admiration, deliberately putting off the opening of the letter. The colour, neither black nor white, had never before interested her. Now, in contrast with the dead white of the paper against which it lay, it seemed rather lovely to her with its warm bronze tint, its pointed and polished nails that glittered like little blades in the light.

In a sudden violent synthesis the story before her rushed to completion—assume form—unity—silencing the indecent irrelevance of the song, confronting her with its tremendous implication; if it hadn't been for her, Hagar would be alive to-day. After a while, with a conscious physical effort she wrenched her gaze from the words of the confession; then, with deliberate thoroughness, read the clippings one by one and piled them with mechanical exactness before her. The papers had given an unusual amount of space to the commonplace of a Negro murder. In spite of its colour, it held the elements of excellent copy—human interest—passion—jealousy—and the culminating touch of the confession, superb in its stark simplicity. Lissa folded the last strip, placed it upon the others, and stood gazing out over them at nothing that the room contained. Her brain, busy in estimating the cost to herself, told her that she was safe, that so beautifully had Hagar built her plan that at no point could danger touch her.

Wentworth. It was a moment before she identified the august name with Mamba's Mr. Saint. Then she read: These clippings will pain you, but you ought to know what they say. In no other way can you realise the sacrifice that Hagar has made for you. To the few of us who know the whole story, she has revealed herself as heroic, a mother of whom you should be proud as long as you live. The body has not been recovered and was probably carried far out to sea. It took Hagar's death to show us what she really was, and I for one am proud to have known her. The body—sacrifice—the awful clippings with their sharp and uncompromising black type . . . The room where she stood had gone chill with warning. Mr. Saint shouldn't have done that to her. Mamba wouldn't have let him if she had known. She wasn't used to pain. Hagar dead. She felt the warmth that had infused her being from her mother's last kiss slowly ebbing, while a strange numbness took its place. She had a premonition that if she read the clippings she would find herself to blame—would have to accept the responsibility—be answerable for the event. Why not simply accept the facts—death—loss—and destroy the papers that lay defenceless before her, yet which menaced her peace of mind? She should save herself for the sake of her art—Mamba had wanted that—Hagar herself. How could she be expected to sing and be gay with her mind full of trouble? Still undecided, she lifted the printed strips. One of them dropped face up no the dresser. NEGRESS MURDERS LOVER THEN TAKES OWN LIFE. But that wasn't so. Her mother had never loved Prince.
