Centrally located so that it is accessible to all, the hospital was almost filled to capacity during the year, according to the report. Twenty-one doctors served on the regular staff, assisted by eight nurses. The present equipment, the report states, consists of fifteen beds, and one operating room, one diet kitchen and offices. Of the number of persons treated, only 515 were pay patients, according to the report which declares that there is a pressing need in Gary for better hospitalization for its colored residents. Funds to carry on the work during the present year are asked of the friends of the institutions. Dr. R. M. Hedrick is superintendent of St. John, Ruth L. Hedrick is assistant superintendent. NEGRO NURSES ARE GIVEN EQUAL RIGHTS Cleveland Council Passes A Resolution Admitting All Internes to Hospital NEW YORK—The Cleveland city council today passed unanimously a resolution which opened the city hospitals to Negro nurses and internes, according to information just forwarded to the N.A.A.C.P. by Charles W. White, member of the executive committee of the Cleveland branch. The resolution was introduced in the City Council by Dr. Walz, eighty-year-old councilman from the west side of Cleveland who was loyally supported in advocating passage of the measure by the three Negro members of the City council, Messrs., Clayborne George and Lawrence O. Payne and Dr. LeRoy Bundy. The resolution instructs the city manager of Cleveland "to make such appropriate arrangements as shall afford to all citizens of Cleveland... an equal and reasonable opportunity to receive training as nurses or internes at the Cleveland city hospital." It further provides that "such opportunity shall in no event be denied or abridged on account of the race or color of anyone seeking such training." Mr. White writes the N. A. A. C. P. that the resolution was approved by the director of public welfare, Dudley S. Blossom, by City Manager William R. Hopkins, and by Law Director Harold S. Burton. "This action comes after many years of spasmodic but relentless urging and insistence" writes Mr. White, "and I anticipate that it will mean a great deal to Cleveland and other localities."

Solution Of Race Problem Thru Cooperation Is Advocated By General Smuts In Talk To Students Former Premier of South Africa Says Negro Has Been Patient and Deserves Reward; Praises Progress of Race Washington—Between luncheon at the White House and dinner at the British embassy last Wednesday, General Jan Christian Smuts former Prime minister of the union of South Africa, conferred for two hours with a group of twenty white and colored Americans at Howard university on the progress and condition of the Negro and of the inter-racial problems in America. Praises Collection The conference was arranged by the Phelps-Stokes fund and President ROOSEVELT AND REX THEATRES HAVE FINE BILL ROOSEVELT AND REX THEATRES HAVE FINE BILL Side Houses Some of the outstanding talking pictures of the year will be presented during next week at Gary's two most popular South Side theatres, the Rex theatre, 2169 Broadway, and the Roosevelt theatre, 1446 Broadway, according to an announcement made today. A treat is in store for patrons of both houses, according to a statement issued by the management of the two theatres, who have booked for next week nearly a dozen talking pictures of exceptional entertainment value. Although sound apparatus was just installed last week, the Rex theatre is already pushing to the front with excellent programs which attract a (Continued on page 2) Office of Publication: 7 East 19th Avenue Telephone Gary 2-4660 If Busy, Call Gary 2-3865 GARY, INDIANA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1930 Mordecai W. Johnson, and was held in the Moorland room of Carnegie Library which contained a precious collection of Africana and Negro literature. General Smuts stated that it was one of the most interesting and helpful half days spent during his life time. Improved by Progress General Smuts addressed the conference focusing upon the American race question and his new understanding of it as a result of the conference. He was particularly impressed with the advances made by the American Negro, for which information he was deeply indebted to this conference. He was even more impressed with the technique of adjustment and cooperation being worked out between the majority and this minority section of the American population. Upon such inter-group council and cooperation, General Smuts believed that most of the present day problems of the world could be progressively and peacefully adjusted. It was an application to another field of the principle of arbitration and cooperative council as expressed in political relations by the principles and machinery of the Leaue of Nations. With all of its differences from the South African race problem, he thought the successful solution of race relations in America would have profound effect upon the adjustments of the race problems of colonial imperialism, especially those of the Union of South Africa. Admires Endurance General Smuts expressed his admiration of the endurance and patience of the colored race, which, in the long run, would result in bringing about justice and amity. The occasion of his visit to the United States was wholly un-official and was in the interest of study of American farming methods, and our race problem. He is a native of South Africa, educated in the Boer College, later winning honors in law at Cambridge.

ASSASSIN'S SHOT ENDS CAREER OF E.E.TIDRINGTON Grand Chancellor of Knights of Pythians Slain in Evansville by Foe Earnest E. Tidrington, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythians, and nationally known Republican politician, was shot and killed by a political foe in Evansville, Thursday morning, on his way to work, according to information received in Gary late yesterday. His slayer, a man known as Luther Bell, surrendered to Evansville police several hours after the slaying, according to the information received here yesterday. According to the meagre information obtainable in regard to the slaying, the motive for the murder has not been definitely established. Friends of Tidrington, however, ascribe the slaying to political enmity existing between Bell, a pool hall proprietor, and the Evansville political leader. Had Notable Career Indianapolis, Jan. 25—Earnest E. Tidrington, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythians and noted republican party leader in Indiana, whose death has been reported from Evansville, was one of the most outstanding Negro leaders in Indiana. Coming to Indiana from the south 22 years ago, he was admitted to practice law after waging a fight with the state board of examiners. Shortly upon establishing a residence in Evansville, he took an active part in politics, and became recognized as a political power in his home town. In 1928, during the presidential election, Tidrington was head of the colored voter's bureau of the Indiana State Republican committee, and was put in complete charge of the Hoover forces working among Negroes in Indiana. He served as chancellor of the Pythian lodge for several years. In 1928, he was violently opposed for re-election to the office at a meeting in South Bend, but his friends rallied to his side, and caused his re-election. Tidrington was highly regarded by members of both races in Evansville. A newly opened street was named in honor of him about a year ago. Politically, he belonged to the political faction of United States James E. Watson, republican floor leader in the senate, who highly regarded him. He is survived by a wife. Mention A. B. as Successor The name of Former Councilman A. B. Whitlock of Gary, has been mentioned as a probable successor to Tidrington on the Indiana Republican State committee. Whitlock was Tidrington's assistant during the last presidential campaign. Paul Ash Back At Oriental Theatre The old gang is back to the Oriental.

United Circuit Court of Appeals Affirms Decision of Lower Court in Va. Case NEW YORK—The United States circuit court of appeals at Richmond, Virginia, today affirmed the recent decision by Judge Groner of the United States district court of the eastern district of Virginia, who declared the recently enacted segregation ordinance passed by the city council of Richmond to be unconstitutional. Today's decision of the court of appeals resulting from an appeal by the city of Richmond from Judge Groner's decision was rendered by Circuit Judges Parker and Northcott and District Judge McDowell. Today's ruling dealt a crushing blow to the hopes of the Richmond authorities that the ordinance would be declared valid. The circuit court of appeals' decision affirming Judge Groner's was made on the basis of the segregation case, Buchanan v. Warley, won by the N. A. A. C. P. in 1917, which decision was affirmed in a case also carried to the Supreme Court by the N. A. A. C. P. through its New Orleans branch and known as Harmon v. Tylor. The decision rendered today, quoting the above mentioned cases, declares "Attempt is made to distinguish the case at bar from those cases (Buchanan v. Warley and Harmon v. Tyler) on the ground that the zoning ordinance here under consideration bases its interdiction on the legal prohibition of inter-marriage and not on race or color; but, as legal prohibition of inter-marriage is itself based on race, the question here, in final analysis, is identical with that which the Supreme Court has twice decided in the cases cited." The federal court of Appeals' decision continues by dismissing consideration of cases cited by the Richmond city authorities in which attempt is made to justify the segregation ordinance on the basis of court decisions upholding the right to restrict property in certain areas for erection of certain types of buildings. "They deal" the decision concludes, "with the right of a city to forbid the erection of buildings of a particular kind or for a particular use within certain sections of the city, which manifestly is a very different question from that involved here. "That the Supreme Court did not consider that the doctrine of Buchanan v. Warley was in any way overruled or limited by Euclid v. Ambler PUBLIC LIBRARY CARY, INDIANA HOME EDITION DAD! By Readers LAKE GRAND JURY RETURNS CHARGES AGAINST SLAYER Alfred Williams Charged With Murder in Second Degree By County Grand Jury Charged with killing his step-father because of his cruelty to his mother, Alfred Williams, 21, was indicted by the Lake County grand jury Monday on a charge of murder in the second degree. Williams is charged with the slaying of Levy Johnson, step-father, whose brutality to the former's mother, actuated him to stab the latter to death during a quarrel in their home on January 13, last. First Murder in '30 The killing was the first to occur in Gary during the year, and was the second patricide to be recorded in the city's criminal annals. Johnson is said to have become engaged in a quarrel with the boy's mother, and is declared to have struck her several times. During the course of the altercation, Alfred took up the side of his mother. He snatched a butcher knife from a kitchen table and thrust it into Johnson's abdomen. He died instantly. Fleeing from police immediately after the slaying, Alfred surrendered to Gary detectives the day following the murder, and admitted stabbing his step-parent to death. Trial of Alfred before Judge Martin Smith in Lake county criminal court has not been set. It is believed that he will plead self-defense. MEMBERSHIP IN LABOR UNIONS IS PLAN OF NAACP Association Announces 1930 Aims and Declares It Will Get Its Demands NEW YORK—A campaign to obtain labor union membership for Negro workers, and equal opportunity on the job, was announced as one of the major aims of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for the year 1930. This announcement was made by Arthur B. Spingarn, vice president, who presided at the annual business meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. last Monday. The N. A. A. C. P. will also continue its campaign against lynching and has now under way four cases, arising in Virginia, Texas, Florida and Arkansas, which will push the fight against disfranchisement in the South. Cases in three states, Virginia, Ohio, Michigan and the District of Columbia will carry forward the legal fight against residential segregation by property owners' covenant. On Sunday a crowd of 1000 attended the Annual Mass Meeting of the Association in St. Marks M. E. church, to witness the unveiling of the life membership tablet bearing the names of fully paid life members. —Among Scotch Presbyterians, the sermon immediately before Communion is called the "action sermon." is shown by the fact that Harmon v. Tyler was decided five months after the latter case and its decision was expressly based on the former. There was no error and the decree below is affirmed.

The production can best be described as being "different." It is unusual in its emotional depth, in its fine acting, and in its marvelous story. It is a fine contribution to motion pictures, one that is as perfect as anything yet seen. One of the finest actresses of the legitimate stage is seen in this picture playing opposite an equally fine actor of the talking pictures. Pauline Frederick plays the part of the mother, and Conrad Nagel the part of the son. Lila Lee takes the role of the wife. Light Housekeeping Rooms For Rent Apply At 1993 MASS. Don't Be Deceived!

Edward H. Lawson, Jr. OUR years ago a man FH was murdered — shot down in cold blood on one of the narrow streets of Harlem. Today his murderer still roams unmolested and unknown, with only the pun- ishment of his own con- science to pay for the life of the man he killed. Four years ago, Officer John J. Meehan, in making his nightly round of the cab- aret district, stumbled over the body of that man, a gruesome sight, sprawled across the sidewalk in a pool of blood. Two gunshot wounds in his back indicated how he had come to grief. An old pistol was found in the gutter. That was all. Officer Meehan recognized the fel- low almost instantly. He was a big, husky chap, black as a man could possibly be; kinky hair, flat nose; and a chubby, laughing face. No one could mistake him. It was none other than Battling Siki, once holder of several boxing cham- pionships and victor over the great French ace, Georges Carpentier. They removed him to the hos- pital, but he was dead and nothing could be done. An_ investigation was started. Who had fired the shots? Nobody knew. Who had heard them? No one. Who had 3een the crime committed? No one. Who had stumbled over the body before the policeman? Not a soul. Evidently Harlem was not awaken- ad by shots at four in the morning. The detectives chose another starting point. Where had _ Siki been that night? Somehow it leak- ad out that he had been seen in a certain cafeteria’ They questioned the proprietor. Was he drunk? Yep, he was pretty well stewed. Did he argue with anyone, or start a fuss*in the cafeteria. Yes, he had engaged in a drunken | Sie hesece? 7 z 5 ee a Pepper .

Though Siki’s wife was said to be white, when the marriage became public, she was an octoroon, Siki is said to have admitted the paternity of the baby, the son of the woman then in Paris, but denied the woman was his wife.

But that neighbor proved an ironclad alibi. : Failing on all sides, the, detectives looked up the fighter’s past his- tory in order to unearth some enemy that might perpetrate such a crime.

His fighting career had begun in Paris and, af- ter a long series of successive vic- (Continued on page twe) "Thomas Fast Hair Grower Is the Glamour of Sudden Wealth and Fame Worth the Price? 2 (Continued from Page One) tories, he met Georges Carpentier, at that time world's light-heavyweight champion. His knockout of the popular war ace in the sixth round of their great battle brought him into international prominence. His early life in Paris had been that of a rather poor gamin of the streets, and the years that followed failed to change his nature. He loved to pick a street brawl simply to display his strength and power, and when he was caught, paid his fine smilingly and went straight to another fight. His sudden rise to pugilistic fame was as much a surprise to himself as to the entire world. The sudden wealth, the glory and the glamor of it all, went immediately to his head. He was a picturesque fighter, and liked nothing better than to toy with his opponents until the last round, and then theatrically knock them out. He boasted that he trained on high life, and wine, and women, and song, and no one doubted his assertions. He was in the midst of receiving fabulous offers for projected fights both here and abroad, when he was suddenly suspended by the French Boxing Federation for a ringside fight that wasn't on the program. Siki grew furious when the suspension was not lifted at once, and decided to cause a furore by letting the public in on a few boxing secrets. First, he charged that the fight with Carpentier had been "framed," and that certain gamblers had paid secretly and heavily in order that they could collect the huge stakes. Carpentier and his manager, Deschamps, vigorously denied the charges and a subsequent investigation failed to substantiate them, in spite of the fact that the referee voiced his belief that the fight was "not on the level." The commission then took steps to deprive him of the titles which he had won from Carpentier. He was now in disfavor both in England and America, where projected bouts in which he was to appear, were barred Still fighting his way through, he came to America, where he planned a barnstorming tour of the theatres. There were three other fighters in the little troupe; the others were white. The first week's engagement at the Lafayette Theatre in New York went over fairly well, and he had been booked to play the Howard Theatre for the week after the next with a. week for a Christmas holiday. It was Monday night, just a few days before Christmas. He went out telling his wife, the former Lillian Werner, whom he had married in spite of the fact that he had a common-law wife in Netherlands, that he was going to "talk with some of the boys for a while." Mrs. Siki went to a movie, and returned home about eleven o'clock. She retired, as it was nothing unusual for the fighter to reach home in the early hours of the morning. About midnight, Patrolman Meehan greeted Siki, whom he recognized from his newspaper pictures. He saw the pugilist enter a restaurant. Four hours later, Meehan made his early morning round of that section. It was dark and still, except for the whistle of the wind through the canyon of tall tenements. Then it was that the policeman stumbled over something—something soft and yielding. It was Siki! For weeks the detectives tried to piece together the story, but Harlem has a way of going mum on occasions. No one admitted having seen the glove slinger after Meehan had passed him at midnight. No one had heard the two shots. No one had stumbled over the body. There were no marks of violence. The gun found in the gutter, yielded no fingerprints. THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Contains MORE STORIES of Extraordinary INTEREST TO NEGROES Than Any Publication in America. LLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 25. 1930 The detectives were stumped, and still are. Siki's murderer has never beer convicted. Perhaps some day the story will come out. It will be interesting the way in which the guilty party eluded the entire New York police force for so long. But, until that day, the murder of the great Negro fighter will remain in the category of "unsolved murder mysteries." omas fast H akes hair g, lustrous beautiful" says da Ward Song Bird with "Blackbirds" Chicago Adelphi Theatre y, sparsely haired men and women, who want autiful, lustrous hair quickly, should try this test.

MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS by DU BOSE HEYWARD Author of PORGY A Story of Sacrifice, Romance, Humor and Tragedy WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST FEW INSTALLMENTS. 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 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 hand. 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. Lissa receives an account of her mother's suicidal death from Saint. She is considerably disappointed, but is comforted by the kindness of the Grayson home. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY —NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY— INSTALLMENT XVII Her mother was known only as Baxter, a vagrant Negro woman who had come to the mines ten years before, had once saved Bluton's life, and had later, presumably in a fit of jealous rage, destroyed him. But while her mind assimilated these facts, coolly felicitating her upon her escape, upon the final complete erasure of the record of her own origin, an inexplicable tremor seized upon her body, shaking her so that she fell into a chair, seized the arms with her sallow, expressive hands and gripped desperately while the tremor possessed her like the sustained tension of a galvanic current. Presently the seizure abated. Then came weakness as from a protracted illness, and a pang of loneliness and longing that swelled, mounted, and overwhelmed her, flinging her head down upon her arms, and blinding her with a gush of tears. With everyone there is some picture etched into the child mind by the bite of some early and penetrating emotion. It stands there always, isolated, marking the beginning of memory, obscuring lesser subsequent impressions. Up now from under the drifted years this picture flashed into Lissa's consciousness—a great bruised figure standing in a doorway with a policeman beside it—a strange salty taste upon her child lips where her mother had pressed a farewell kiss. The girl sat waiting. Her tranced gaze had found the window and had escaped the confines of the room into an infinity of sky. Then another picture began to brighten, assume colour, form—e. gigantic black woman kneeling in the dirt of the public road, patting her with great clumsy THE WORLD'S FINEST WORKER In New York a few weeks later Jack signed a thirty-week theatrical contract, which netted him a considerable sum and took him over a great part of the United States and Canada. On this tour he gave many exhibitions. hands, while her body mingled a tang of sweat and phosphate dust with the druggy perfume of roadside honey-suckle. This memory held a poison that she could not at once identify. Then it came—the beginning of a fastidiousness in herself that had turned her away from the great creature who might soil her dress to the cleanness of Mamba's arms. A gap. A time of things wanted because of a strange loneliness that needed assuaging—a fire in her blood that had driven her in a half-desperate search for the unattainable to the Broadens—the roadhouse dances—the last night with Prince. Her last picture of Hagar, the dominant figure of that insane night looming like destiny over the body of Bluton, taking her in her arms and giving her for one brief moment a sense of refuge, of sudden arrival at some remote and illusory goal. It was strange now that she could not remember a word that her mother had ever said. She imagined her as vast, inarticulate power—encompassing love, possessing her all the more now because of her silence. She saw now with agonising clarity all that Hagar had given, and now that she had gone there would never be anything that she could offer in return. She felt an impulse to wound herself in some way, believing vaguely that pain would expiate her thoughtlessness, her indifference. She closed her hands in a muscular spasm that drove the nails into her tender palms, and imagined a slackening of the grip upon her heart. Now she was fiercely glad that she was alone. For the first time in her life she was glad to be free of Mamba and her indom- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 25.1930 A Jack remained in excellent physical condition; hence, between theatrical engagements he took in several minor ring affairs.

The old woman would tell her to go ahead and forget what had happened. Now her only comfort came from sending her thought back to the three impressions of her mother, and in a blind search for some way in which she could punish herself for her selfish neglect. Beyond the window the shortening September day dwindled into twilight. In the street the cooling pavements called the dark children from the serried houses. They swarmed down, noisy as blackbirds, and flung a gay chattering sound up to Lissa's room. From the two adjacent Elevated lines sounded roar and answering roar as the trains hurtled with mechanical punctuality over the darkening streets. To Lissa they seemed like the tick-tock of a titanic clock dividing the present into minute segments and hurling it into the limbo of the past. On the Avenue the windows of an apartment house lost the red of the sunset, stared blank for a moment, then winked to life again, restless in the blue dusk. But these things that Lissa had loved as symbols of her new life had lost their magic. She sat staring through them into the Carolina Low Country. Once she rose from her chair, got from a bureau drawer the prayer book that Hagar had given her, opened it at the flyleaf with its inscription, then sat again with the volume in her hands. It was not until after breakfast the following morning that Lissa left her room. She wore the clothes that she had had on when she came from her music lesson the preceding afternoon, and she went directly to the study of Thomas Grayson, opened the door without knocking, and entered. He sat at a large square desk in the middle of the room looking over the notes for the sermon that he would deliver at the morning service. The massive severity of the desk made a fitting base for the bust and head of the man who sat there. Lissa closed the door behind her, and stood with her back against it as though taking refuge from some pursuer. Grayson looked up and saw her face. The live bronze had gone a lustreless brown, except where it had darkened to violet under the eyes. From swollen lids the eyes looked with a hard brilliance. The hint of tragedy that had been latent in her expression was suddenly all that he saw there, rendering the face drawn. and haggard. Her hair was dishevelled, her dress looked as though it had been slept in. There was a shocking incongruity in the pair of frivolous red pumps on her feet. His response was characteristic. He said in a deliberately matter-of-fact voice: "Don't be afraid, Lissa. Come here and tell me your trouble." Without rising he motioned to a chair that faced him across the polished mahogany with its piles of WILLIAM T. HENRY During this time there had been a spirited search for a "white hope," who could wrest the championship from Johnson. Jim Jeffries, once champion, had retired, but his friends prevailed upon him as a last resort. meticulously arranged papers. The girl hesitated. He seemed unsympathetic—more rock-like than ever in his unyielding power. Then she saw his face soften. He leaned forward and extended a hand across the desk. "Sit down, Daughter, and tell me," he urged. "Ada and I have been fearful that your letter brought bad news." She sank into the chair, then she placed the letter, clippings, and prayer book before him. "Read that letter and those papers, please," she begged. "They're atut Ma." She watched him take the papers in his heavy, well-kept, hairless hands, and read them through with his habitual thoroughness. Now that she was close to him her feeling toward him changed. Out of his massive silence strong emanations of sympathy flowed toward her. She felt his power now, not as opposition, but as a sustaining force. She was glad that he had not spent it in easy volubility. He finished the last clipping, then folded them all carefully and returned them. When he spoke his voice seemed stilted, inadequate in contrast with his unspoken sympathy. "Your mother was a truly great woman, Lissa. The just God who knows everything will forgive her. She has given her life for you. You should be proud of your parentage-your race." She did not comment upon this tribute. Her reply struck out at a tangent, as though she had waited for him to finish speaking to say what had long been on her mind. She leaned forward, swaying slightly in her chair. Her speaking voice had caught the tragic timbre of her low singing notes. Her short sentences were spoken in unconscious rhythm. "I can't stay Here now. I can't let it stand like that. See what she says—that he was her lover. She despised him—it took me to put up with his kind—I've got to go home and tell them the truth—I've got to face the Broadens and their crowd with it—I've got to claim her now before everybody. It's all—can do." Grayson sat heavy, solid, his arms resting on the desk before him, his eyes on her face. Without speaking he made Lissa feel his attitude as it changed from the sympathetic to the coolly judicial. "You're emotionally upset to-day, Lissa," he said at last. "You're in no condition to arrive at such an important decision. You must wait a day or two." Her form stiffened. She eyed Grayson with distrust. Immediately she was on the defensive. "I thought I could count on you," she said. "I thought you'd see it as my Christian duty and help me, or I wouldn't have told you. But you can't stop me now—nobody can—not even Grandma. I always did what other people thought. Now I am going to think for myself, and I know I'm right. I'm going." Grayson made no reply: then Lissa realised that he had not been listening to what she had said. He had not Stanley Ketchel was believed to be able to defeat Johnson, so they fought at Colma, California, October 16, 1909. Ketchel was decisively beaten, but succeeded in winning the exclusive distinction of flooring Johnson. moved, but sat gazing past her, his eyes intent behind their glasses, his brow deeply furrowed. In one of her violent reversions she sprang to her feet. "A hell of a lot you care for other people's troubles!" she flung at him; then she turned to go. "Wait!" She was arrested by the impact of the single word and faced him again, her beautiful expressive body fixed in an attitude of fear like that of an animal at bay. "Now sit down and keep quiet," he commanded. For a noment longer her defiance lasted; then suddenly she bent her head and commenced to cry softly into the crook of her arm in the manner characteristic of Hagar when faced by overwhelming difficulties. Then obediently she resumed her seat. When Crayson broke his portentous silence his voice was compassionate but firm. He said: "I've thought it all out now, Daughter. Look at it this way": he picked up the clippings and selected the one which contained Hagar's confession. Lissa raised her tear-stained face, and he pointed to the words. "That," he said, "is your mother's last will and testament. In it she has left you something that she has conceived to be of inestimable value. It was all that she had to give. You cannot repudiate it. You must give her silence in return." "But it's a lie. I can't go on always living a lie. What am I to do?" "You must carry on. Make your life worth the price that has been paid for it. There's 1.0 turning back now without breaking faith with your mother. There's nowhere for you to go but ahead; no way to praise her but in your works." "I won't go on," she rebelled. "I hate music. If it hadn't been for that Ma'd be alive to-day. I didn't know until that night how much I was missing her. I was always lonely, and I didn't know why. Grandma never gave me time to think. Now she's gone, an' I'm sick of everything. I'm the loneliest girl in the world." "I know," said Grayson gently, "you think now that it is this great los; that makes you so. I isn't. Like Ishmael, you were born for loneliness. But you have this to be thankful for—you were also born for success. I had a talk with Salinski yesterday. He's extravagant in his praise of your voice. He has never taken a Negro before, and it took all of the influence that I could bring to bear to interest him in giving you a trial. It's a great chance for you. It's more than that. It's a great chance for the Negro race. If you drop it now, go South and perhaps run the risk of being arrested as an accessory to the murder, certainly, at the least, returning to start over again handicapped by a scandal, you will have thrown that chance away.

He picked up the little prayer book that he had given Hagar, opened it at the flyleaf, and let his gaze rest upon the inscription. "Strange," he said, "that this should be here with us now. When I gave it to your mother I was face to face with my great disillusionment. I had thought that the fight should start at the bottom. I had put everything that I had in me into it, and I had failed. I have learned since that the battle is on here—not in the South. Not that we receive more kindness here. There is a certain kind of cruelty that we meet in New York that is not known in South Carolina. We have been taught to expect things here, and then, and then when we come we find these things denied us. But here we find a market for our own peculiar gifts—talents that are our heritage, and of these yours is the greatest—the gift of song. Nothing can take that from you. You must put the past behind you as I did—as all of our people must do. You must succeed." Lissa's tears had ceased. She sat with her eyes fixed upon the desk before her. 'The room bore inward upon her, exerting an invisible force against her body—holding it powerless in the chair. Even Mamba had never been so implacable as this will that had assumed magistracy over her destinies. She knew that the moment when she met Grayson's eyes would see her complete and ultimate surrender. And yet through sheer weakness she longed to turn to that power for support. She knew that Grayson had risen. She heard him moving behind her, then softly the door closed, leaving her alone. Through the open window came stray notes from the complicated symphony of human existence—the shrill ecstasy of a child—deep, careless Negro laughter—a piano lingering over a sentimental song in a neighboring apartment—slow, rambling talk in two women's voices on the pavement—Harlem obstinately opposing its lazy IF YOU WANT Money, Love, Easy Life SUCCESS Write today.

Individual as he appeared in the heterogeneous audience, he yet had upon him the mark of a type. Upon him a dinner jacket seemed a more formal garment than it did when worn by the men who were seated near him, and his tie, too wide for the prevailing mode, had about it the quaint suggestion of a stock. Already, while only in the middle thirties, his figure was commencing to show the comfortable outlines of one who appreciates the pleasant things of life at their full value and who has learned to meet the unpleasant ones with an amiable acquiescence. Yet the face, with its high forehead and thoughtful slate-coloured eyes, showed evidences of having passed through some spiritual conflict.

My back was so weak I could hardly stand it if I had to stand any length of time. "I read of Cardui, and decided to try it. I have never regretted it for it helped me so much. The pain and soreness left my side, and I quit having the headache. My back felt so much better. I took Cardui off and on for a year. Now I am in good health; have been for a year." of art, which is in itself an art, he became a disembodied presence moving in a realm of illusion upon the darkened stage, and, by the stage's magical power of projection, beyond that again into a pine barren of the coastal South. Beyond the pines glimmered a faint red dawn that cast a vague radiance over the bent or recumbent figures of a number of people. From the figures came a chant, hypnotic in its interminable reiteration of a single strongly syncopated phrase. A limpid mezzo-soprano drew upward from the monotonous level of the chant. Instantly Wentworth recognised the voice—Lissa's —Hagar's —Mamba's. Relief from Gas Stomach Pains Dizziness Relief from Gas Stomach Pains Dizziness The doctors tell us that 90 per cent of all sickness is due to stomach and bowel troubles. You can't be well if your digestion is bad; you are likely to get sick unless you relish food and digest it properly. Tanlac has a wonderful record as a relief from digestive troubles, even those of years' standing. Local people, many of whom you know, are highly endorsing Tanlac. For example, Mrs. Ellen White says: "For years I suffered from indigestion. I got no relief from anything until I took Tanlac. After my fourth bottle, I feel like a new person and have a fine appetite." If you suffer from gas, pains in the stomach or bowels, dizziness, nausea, constipation, or torpid liver; if you have no appetite, can't sleep and are nervous and all run down, you need Tanlac.

So, those who are educating children-teachers, school doctors and nurses are taking up the campaign with renewed vigor. They are beginning with the children, the parents of the future. If the parent of today will listen, these children will bring home much information and many suggestions which mothers and fathers may use for themselves as well as for their children. Now, when your child comes home, saying that a day has been spent by teacher in weighing and measuring her class, do not think the school has thrown away a day. Rather, get busy and see if your child is up to the standard by the weight and height chart for ages. This scale may be obtained through the American Child Health Association, in New York City. And, after finding that your child is underweight and under height, get busy and find out why. If you are sent for by the school, hurry over, without delay. And, combining new knowledge with your own common sense, take steps to correct any errors which exist. While you are at the school you may learn that the reason your child minds so poorly is that he hears only half or less of what is said or done. His nervousness which has always annoyed you turned out to be due to poor eye-sight and strain which may be relieved by proper glasses.

Will you crossly grumble, or will you express pleasure over the progress in education, when you pack this in the school kit? No longer are school buildings the high temples of the worshipped "Three R's." They are the work-shops where pupils are working out the ways and means of good living. Being large houses with windows, they lend themselves to teaching methods of obtaining fresh air indoors. There are a number of ventilation systems used in various schools and both teachers and pupils have to learn how to help in their operation. In some, it is not necessary to open the windows at all, as large machines in the basement circulate the air. In others, the air is changed directly by raising the windows three or four times in the morning and twice in the afternoon while the children stretch and move. These big school houses have to be kept clean and nearly everywhere this is an unnecessarily heavy burden, on the school janitor. Children throw papers and food about when they have been taught not to do this at home. For that reason, "clean-up" campaigns are a part of the regular school programme. Lessons on beautiful paintings and colors and the use of them in the school, are toward the end that children shall want to have cheerful surroundings. But, children are in school only 5 or 6 hours each day. For the rest of the twenty-four, the parent must "carry on." Under their guidance, there must be play in the open, up until but not later than 7 p.m.; there must be long hours of sleep for growth, in rooms with windows wide open; there should be quiet in the sleeping room and not more than two in a bed; there should be frequent bathing and early rising, so that breakfast may be eaten slowly and the walk to school need not be hurried.

As far as children are concerned, the results have not been satisfactory. It is now pretty certain, that to be healthy in a modern surrounding, a person must be in possession of the "how" and the "why" of ways of living. Not only this, but the prime importance of health must be realized and appreciated before any results can be had. So many things crowding in, parents have been found to put other considerations before health. Laws of health neglected, steady work is impossible and funds with which to pay for the services of a physician are not saved up.

MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS DU BOSE HEYWARD By ```markdown ``` Wentworth's emotions attained that height at which delight and pain are fused into one and become pure ecstasy. Then the curtain descended in a swift, obliterating rush and stilled the voice. But in the wide silence of the auditorium its vibrations kept beating on like a pulse. High in the dome constellations of incandescents commenced to glow faintly. A stir went over the audience. Saint felt sudden anger. Why couldn't they leave him alone in the actuality of the music? Why drag him back into the make-believe of people, walls, lights? The glow brightened and flooded the auditorium, calling him back into full possession of his faculties, and he became aware of the well-dressed audience that seemed to be pressing in upon him. For a moment longer they hung breathless, then shattered the silence with a spontaneous thunder of applause. From the people near Wentworth stray ejaculations and comments leaped clear of the clamour and impigned upon his consciousness. "Good God, where'd she come from?" someone queried. "What's it anyway, a play—an opera—a pageant?" And the rejoinder, "For Heaven's sake, don't label it. That's the trouble with us. What we can't label we damn. Can't you see it's new—different? Can't you feel that it's something of our own—American—something that Stallings and Harley got a glimpse of in 'Deep River'—that the Theatre Guild caught the pictorial side of in Porgy, that Gershwin actually got his hands on in spots of his 'Rhapsody in Blue'? It's epoch-making, I tell you." Behind Wentworth a man said in a tone of finality: "Well, they've done it. It's native from the dirt up—it's art—and it's ours." "Ours?" a voice inquired. "Do you mean Negro?" "Negro, if you will, yes, but first. American."

The ugly blur of confused talk swelled suddenly and drowned individual voices. Wentworth let himself go back into his chair. The experience had left him shaken. He hoped that Valerie and his mother wouldn't talk. Sometimes they didn't seem to understand that there were moments when silence can be richer than speech. His emotion had broken his thoughts free from their habitual moorings. Now he'd like just to let them drift. With relief he saw that his companions remained silent, evidently lost in their own thoughts; Valerie with a bright, forward look in her eyes; his mother's lost in reverie. He returned to himself: "God! What music!" he thought. "Primitive?—Sophisticated?—Neither—both. Savage. tender, reckless. Something saved whole from a race's beginnings and raised to the nth degree by Twentieth Century magic—a blues gone grand opera. . . Not a bad idea that.

Why not? And Kate Wentworth, sitting close to her son, where she could feel the warmth of his arm touching her own, not understanding his mood, but sensing its existence, feeling him asking to be let alone. "What in the world is opera coming to." she is thinking. "This mania to be different is at the bottom of it, I suppose. . . Verdi—now he gave us music. . .

The genius of these two black men baffled and humbled Europe's finest military expeditions. To these men this volume would appear as the Uncle Remus stories appear to Einstein. As a matter of fact, there is no earmark in this group of stories which distinguishes them from the commonly known type of fable, made famous by Aesop and in modern times by Uncle Remus. If there is a distinction to be made it must be based on the unusual excellence of Mr. Cendrars' collection of stories. The volume was written for juvenile readers but one ventures to say that the juveniles had best keep their copies carefully concealed from sophisticated adults.

The slow throb of music filled the dark, then the curtain of the final act drew up on a stage of swirling mists and vague half-lightst. Instantly the mood of the play was re-established, fixing the watchers in attitudes of rigid expectancy. Dawn again, but no longer the red of an old despair. A thin, essential radiance breathed upward behind the massed towers of a metropolis. It gathered strength, spraying out like the corona of an aurora, gilding the towers, then dominating them. The music caught the mood of the sky. The arresting dissonances, the sharp syncopations of the early acts, were no longer individually evident but seemed to merge into a broader, irrerestible current of sound. The rhythm, too, was no longer a thing separate. It became a force as indistinguishable and pervasive as the life current. It was a fundamental law that moved light, music, the sway of the crowd, the passage of time, in a concerted and inevitable progression. The artificial declamations of operatic convention were gone. The cast was reduced to two elemental forces. The crowd with its heavy massed rhythms and reiterated choruses was the body, and the single transcendent mezzo-soprano that soared above it was the spirit, aspiring, daring, despairing, lifting again.

He was known as the Paramount studio bootblack until recently, when he created a sensation in "The Canary Murder Case." Now he has a big contract and a bright future in Hollywood. 8 Julia Jerome An unhappy wife writes us from New Orleans. My dear Mrs. Jerome:— For years my husband has been untrue to me. Every one in our ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 25.1930 vicinity knows it. They also know that I have been true to him. Not because I loved him, I suppose, but because I loved nobody else. Now, I do and now I am contemplating being untrue to him. What makes me hesitate is that despite all I have stood from him he will not. I know, stand for any unfaithfulness from me. He will drive me out without a cent and the man I love is unable to support me as I am used to living. Please tell me what to do. Do now what you should have done years ago-get a divorce. With all the evidence you must have against your husband it should be easy to get one. But do it before you are unfaithful and you will feel more justified in demanding a financial settlement. I do not give you any credit at all for being faithful these many years since you had no inclination to be otherwise and since you were evidently being well supported for your patience. Still, I gather you are untrained for work of any kind, so if he is well off it is just that he contribute to your future livelihood by some kind of settlement. If he were not well off I would say you should shift for yourself, since your virtue has been of a negative sort-deserv- By Ruby Berkley Goodwin WHAT Flo Ziegfield has done for the American girl, Hollywood seems intent upon doing for the Negro bootblack. During the filming of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's all Negro drama, "Hallelujah," Harold Garrison, known on the lot as Slickum, rose to the height of assistant director. Then at a recent filming of one of the Cohen comedies on Christie lot the studio bootblack was called in and given a very important part in the picture. While Paramount has gone even farther by giving a bookblack a long term contract. Oscar Smith, known as the "Cute Kid" of Central avenue, has been Paramount's official bootblack for years. Every since the passing of that most beloved actor, Wallace Reid, he has held that position. Before that time he was valet for the great movie star and a bond of friendship grew up between them that has always been the talk of the studio. Oscar became friend, and confidant to "Wally," whom he affectionately called "My Boy." Oscar had talked quite a while before I noticed the stuttering that won the contract for him. "I was born in Topeka, Kansas quite a few years ago," Oscar cheerfully stated. "I was s-s-sixteen years old b-before I could t-talk at all. I w-went to school tho' for I c-could listen and in that way I learned a whole lot. I r-remember one day I got a w-w-whipping. I was innocent of any wrong doing, but I couldn't say anything. I never blamed the t-teacher for Mr. Roundtree thot that he was d-doing right. He was a f-fine old man." When Oscar finished the grammar grades he came west to Phoenix and for five years he played tunes with his shoe rag on the boots of the fastidious in that town. Still being guided by the saying, "Go west, young man, go west," he left Phoenix and came to Los Angeles, where he secured work as head porter in Cookie's barber shop. It was here that he met Wallace Reid and it was at this time he won the nickname, "Cute Kid." When Oscar was younger he was short and slender, now he is inclined to be a little rotund. For years it was his habit to blaze forth three or four times a day in a different and resplendent outfit of clothing, from hat to spats. But with the passing of years, Oscar's taste has quieted down. He now goes in for real estate and he has acquired some very valuable holdings around and in Los Angeles. "Since I have been on P-paramount lot I have been playing small parts in the pictures—bellboys, w-waiters, elevator boys. When Richard Dix made 'Warming Up' I was the baseball team's mascot; in 'Beau Sabreur,' I played the part of the faithful Sudanese servant." Sometime ago when S. S. Van Dine's "Canary Murder Case" was adapted to the screen, a stuttering bellhop role developed. Oscar was cast for the part. That was the biggest role he had ever played. When the picture was previewed in a Hollywood neighborhood picture place the house almost became hysterical, laughing at Oscar, the frightened, wide-eyed, stuttering bell-hop, who had become unwillingly entangled in the weird murder case. Far-sighted officials saw great possibilities in Oscar, so they rushed to him with a contract and told him to sign on the dotted line. Bootblacking may be a lowly profession and one despised by many, but Hollywood bootblacks have learned that "the way up is down," and they have been called in to work while many a white collar man has stood impatiently outside the Central Casting office, waiting for a call that never came.

And, as a final snap, my dear, I must say that your new love must not be very impassioned or you would be willing to sacrifice your luxuries for it. To be sure, it is nice to have both love and luxury; but, in your circumstances, in trying to have both you may lose both.

Cook for about one hour and seal. A FALL SALAD Don't neglect the salad merely because summer fruits and vegetables are bidding you farewell for a few months. Many, and in fact most, of the salad ingredients are year-round foods, so if you have been catering exclusively to seasonal delicacies, learn immediately how to prepare salads from other constituents. Lettuce is now obtainable at any time. So are oranges, lemons and bananas. If you can't get fresh pineapple, you can get it canned—and this applies to cherries as well Whipped cream is a year-round delicacy. So try this salad and make it an Autumn favorite. Spread crisp lettuce leaves on a salad plate. Cover with several slices of oranges on which you place two long strips of pineapple and one of banana. Top with a heaping mound of flavored whipped cream and cherry, or colorful berry of any kind. Just before serving sprinkle the fruit and lettuce with a syrup made by mixing several teaspoons of sugar with the juice of one orange and half a lemon. THE ENIGMA OF months after the last particle of oil on the bearings has disappeared. And it goes without saying that injury will follow as surely as night follows day. It must be overhauled periodically-taken apart entirely-removing old dried-up oil and dirt; repolishing parts, to prevent them being spoiled for good timekeeping. Oil in a lady's small watch will last about six or eight months. It takes a grain of dirt the size of a needle point to stop the watch. Dirt will get inside. When you buy an automobile, you are instructed how the machine must be looked after constantly, for which work you pay a service station. Your tiny watch is thousand times finer machine, running constantly, so isn't it reasonable to have it attended to occasionally for a small service charge? PES FOR THE K-END DILL PICKLES A Michigan Recipe Fill jars with even-sized cucumbers, with one large dill flower mixed through the center of each jar, and cover with the following liquid: 2 quarts water 1/2 cup (scant) fine salt 1 1/2 cups vinegar Heat to boiling and pour over pickles while hot. Seal at once. This method assures dills that are crisp, delicious and sure to keep. HOW TO PREPARE VEGETABLE DISHES Many women fail to get the most out of their vegetable dishes, either because they use too much water, or fail to add a touch of sugar. Too much water absorbs the flavor of the vegetable. A dash of sugar in the water (a small quantity of water at that) brings out the full flavor of the vegetable, and also supplies a bit of quick energy food to the diner. A DELICIOUS ORANGE DISH Put peel from eight oranges in cold water; heat to boiling point, and cook gently, until very tender. Drain; put in cold water, and, when cold, remove membrane and soft portion. Boil one cup sugar and one-half cup water until syrup spins a thread; put in peel, and cook gently, until syrup is evaporated and peel looks clear. Drain on wire cake cooler, and leave in open air until thoroughly dry. Store, and use as required in cakes and puddings. Candied lemon peel may be prepared in the same way. F THE EIGHTIES
