Only 166 Deaths Among Children Under 15 Recorded During 1929, Says Bulletin Chicago police department statistics made public today show that 166 children under 15 years of age were killed in motor accidents last year in Chicago, as compared with 207 in 1928, according to a statement issued by the accident prevention department of the Chicago Motor club. Adult fatalities, likewise, were sharply reduced in 1929. The total deaths were 637, as compared with 710 in 1928. Charles M. Hayes, president of the motor club, ascribed the decrease in child fatalities to the safety education which is now a part of the regular curriculum in most public, parochial and Lutheran schools, and to the efficient operation of the school boys safety patrols. "This form of instruction has been in progress for several years, and its benefits are now being reflected in the accident statistics," declared Mr. Hayes. "Early impressions last, in a large degree, through life, and when the fundamentals of safety are stressed to little children we may safely expect them to walk more carefully during childhood and even to be more careful drivers when they have grown up than the present generation. "Great credit is due the members of the school boys' patrol. Those boys, standing at intersections near schools in rain, snow and cold, are selected for their qualities of leadership, and assist their younger classmates across streets during lulls in the traffic. They have made it possible for hundreds of policemen to be relieved of such assignments and thus available for the more serious but no less important task of preventing crime and catching criminals." Pauline Frederick Star in 'Sacred Flame The finest dramatic treat of the year, "The Sacred Flame," starring Pauline Frederick, Conrad Nagel and Lila Lee comes to the Chicago theatre on Friday, Jan 31. The production is a most unusual one, and features a most unusual cast. Pauline Frederick as the mother of the war hero who is crippled on his wedding day gives a performance that will long be remembered. Conrad Nagel is superb as the injured hero, and Lila Lee is at her best as his wife. "Of course, the saloon will never return. How could it expect to wrest the corners back from the chain drug stores and filling station?" asks the Louisville Courier-Journal. --- The Gary American SOUND EQUIPMENT AT REX PERFECTED SOUND EQUIPMENT AT REX PERFECTED Ann Harding, Noted Stage Star, "In Her Private Affair" at the Roosevelt After several days of work on the appartus, the sound equipment at the Rex theatre, 2169 Broadway, has been perfected, so that now talking pictures are faithfully produced and even a whisper or faint sound can be heard from any part of the theatre, according to announcement made today. Installation of sound apparatus at the Rex was made several days ago, but details of the work have just been completed, according to the announcement. The Rex and the Roosevelt theatre, 1446 Broadway, are the only independent moving picture houses on the South Side. Both theatres, because of their private ownership, are not obligated to show any one particular brand of film entertainment but have contracts with all Long Island and Hollywood producers. In addition to showing most of the best films of the year made by the Fox Film corporation, the Rex and Roosevelt have also booked several outstanding productions made by the Tiffany-Stahl, Radio Pictures corporation, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Universal Pictures corporation, and the Film Booking Offices of America. Today's offering at the Rex is "The Voice of the City" starring Willard Mack. The story is based upon the experiences of a New York detective in solving a mysterious crime. It is an all-talking production. "Her Private Affair," starring Ann Harding, noted stage star, is the name of today's offering at the Roosevelt. The picture is a complete sound production. Friends Insistent Lepore Enter Race Upon the insistence of his friends, Donald A. Lepore, well known Gary lawyer, may enter the race this spring for justice of the peace, it was learned today. Friends and acquaintances of Lepore urged him to enter the campaign several days ago, and his decision to make the race is expected to be announced in a few weeks. Lepore is well known both among members of the local legal fraternity and among South Side residents. He has been a resident of Gary for ten years. He is a member of the Moose lodge, the Gary Bar association and other organizations. The automotive industry used 349, 000,000 feet of lumber in 1928.

DISAPPOINTS THEM Many Express Views on Subject Raised by American; Some Very Pointedly (Editor's Note—Last week, The Gary American invited its readers to comment upon the appointments of Mayor R. O. Johnson. The following are some of the letters received in response to this invitation). COULDNT EXPECT MUCH Editor The American: In answer to your questions on "Mayor Johnson and His Appointments," permit me, as a devoted reader of your paper to say, that I am not surprised that Johnson hasn't done any more for the Negroes. His record of eight years ago proves that he was never much of a hand to give colored people the kind of recognition they deserve. His failure to give positions of trust and responsibility to Negroes proves that he is the same R. O. Johnson of eight years ago. And yet the colored people of Gary are largely responsible for him getting the office. WM. NICKERSON. Editor The American: Why not give Mr. Johnson time? I believe he will keep faith, but we must have patience. Let us not judge too quickly. (Mrs.) LENA LOTT Editor The American: When the colored people of Gary turned suddenly against Floyd Williams and supported R. O. Johnson instead, they forsook one of the best friends they ever had. Say what you will, Williams might have made a few mistakes, but they were largely adminisrtative mistakes, and certainly not personal. You cannot forget the 75 appointments he gave to Negroes very easily. In my opinion Johnson will never be able to duplicate that record, not because he cannot do it, but because he won't. CLAUDE CORNELIUS Editor The American: Considering the support colored people gave Mr. Johnson, it certainly seems that he should gvie them greater recognition. From the many places he had to fill on the various boards, at least one colored man could have been placed on one of theses boards. The appointment of Dr. Cardwell to the board of health, a two dollar a week job, doesn't mean anything. Dr. McMitchell held this post under Johnson before, and quit it because it didn't mean anything. Colored people in Gary are vitally concerned whereever matters of safety and protection are discussed. Why couldn't Mr. Johnson appoint a colored man to the board of safety? If not there, then why not on the board of works? If not there, then why couldn't he give the post of assistant city attorney to a member of our race? There's no need of appointing a handful of cops to work on the police force for a few months and then turn them off. VANCE MARCHBANKS. Editor The American: If Mr. Johnson has failed to make as many appointments as he should have done, I would not lay the blame at his door. It is a known fact that his "advisors" on the South Side have been standing in the way and keeping him from making certain significant appointments which would benefit members of our group. One of Johnson's so-called "advisors" is reported as having said: "I am the boss of the South Side. If anybody wants anything out of this administration they have got to come thru ME." This man, suddenly finding himself po ses- Seek Candidates For Spingarn Medal 407 Hazel Groves, co. of treasurer, will not be a candidate in the spring primary, according to Dame Rumor.

POLITICAL POT IS STARTED BOILING Two Fulton Meetings Are Held In Neighborhoods; See Hot Campaign Although the campaign is still several months away, there is going to be plenty of enthusiasm in the coming spring election next May. This is indicated in the various neighborhood meetings being held in the interest of various candidates. A rousing meeting in the interest of W. J. Fulton, county commissioner an candidate for re-election, was held Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. Wm. Abernathy, 1201 Jefferson. Precinct committee women of the third ward, a number of South Side residents and many others were present. Mrs. E. A. Williams, 1915 Massachusetts, introduced Mr. Fulton to the assemblage. He made a brief address to the group and thanked them for their attendance. A second Fulton meeting, it was announced, was scheduled to be held last night at 1993 Massachusetts with precinct committee women of the Fourth ward present.

He has stood in the way. But even so, Johnson could have done better. Did he not say, before election, that he was going to be the mayor of all the people, and that he would have no dictators and no bosses. Let him ignore the dictaotrs, and consult no one, and make appointments on the basis of merit. HEYWOOD DANIELS. What do you think of the mayor's appointments?

Howard Holds Week Of Prayer Washington—The "Week of Prayer" at Howard university was observed with a series of five sermons delivered by the Rev. Howard Thurman college preacher of Spelman Seminary, Atlanta, Ga.. It began with the regular Sunday morning service in Andrew Rankin Chapel. On Monday Rev. Thurman addressed a faculty luncheon at noon, at which time he called attention to the importance of faculty influence upon the students spiritual life as a means toward enabling them to synthesize the various elements of truth discovered in their quest for learning.

Won Radio But Has To Turn It Down The first number called in the drawing last Friday night to determine who should win the Silvertone radio, given away by the Palace theatre at Gary, happened to be held by Wm. A. Hungerford, who immediately stated that he could not accept it, that while his coupon had been dropped in the box Monday night, a notice had since been posted at the Sears, Roebuck store, stating that no employee would be allowed to accept the radio as it had been bought of us and it would look very suspicious. Another number was drawn and the holder of the lucky coupon was Miss Cathryne Wehner, 532 Lake st., Hobart, who not only won a fine radio, but it is to be installed in her home, serviced, and both the radio and tubes guaranteed by Sears, Roebuck for one year.

ROOSEVELT PLANS MIDNIGHT SHOWS South Side Theatre to Sponsor Performances Beginning Tonight, Feb. 1 Beginning Saturday, February 11 midnight shows on Saturday nights will be inaugurated at the Roosevelt theatre, 1446 Broadway, according to an announcement made today by Paul Miller, managing director. So great has become the popularity of Saturday midnight shows that the Roosevelt has adopted this policy as a means of furnishing entertainment for more people, according to the management. And the first midnight performance will be inaugurated tonight, Saturday, February 1, at twelve o'clock. To start off with a bang, one of the season's best pictures will be shown at the midnight performance tonight. It is a big time, all-talking, all-dancing and all-singing picture with Stepin' Fetchit, noted colored moving picture actor, playing the principal role. Others in the cast are: Josephine Dunn, Lee Tracy and May Clark. In addition to this feature, an all-talking comedy will also be shown at the midnight performance. The show starts promptly at twelve o'clock. A mammoth crowd is expected to attend the first midnight show, and everybody is urged to be on hand early in order to get good seats. The Roosevelt, is one of the few independent theatres in Gary. It is the home of Warner Brothers' Vitaphone pitcures and Fox movietone pictures, which are considered the highest type of productions in the moving picture world. A Fox film will start the inauguration of the theatre's policy in giving midnight performances. 'Sunny Side Up' On at McVicker's Theatre The gayest, lightest musical comedy yet produced in talking pictures, "Sunny Side Up," is now playing at the McVickers theatre. Not only is "Sunny Side Up," of especial interest because of its songs and dances but it is also notable in that it brings two favorite screen stars together again, and brings them better than ever. HOME EDITION PRICE THREE CENTS Dollar Goal ENTS garn Medal RACES UNITE TO PUT OVER GREAT HOSPITAL DRIVE Set Three Million Dollars As Goal; Negro Banker Gives Five Thousand of Sum Chicago, (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, black and white, Jew and Gentile, is united this week in one big effort—the effort to raise funds necessary for the establishment of the finest hospital and medical center in the country, the Greater Provident hospital and Training school, with the University of Chicago cooperating. This movement, headed by Julius Rosenwald, Dr. Frank S. Billings of the University of Chicago, and Alexander L. Jackson, president of the board of trustees of the Provident hospital, has during the past few weeks created more interest than any activity in recent years. Not since the war has there been such unity among races, creeds, factions, and various groups, and at the present time leaders in professional and business circles, and common-folks as some would like to call them, have joined hands in this gigantic project. Goal Is 3 Million The goal is at least for $3,000,000, which is necessary for the establishment and maintenance of the proposed institution. Before the drive had been launched, due to the interest aroused more than two million dollars had been contributed At one dinner given at the Blackstone Hotel by Samuel Insull, one of the nation's foremost business men, more than $400,000 was secured. At a smaller gathering of nurses graduates of the Provident Hospital and Training School, $5,600 was pledged to the cause. Two nights later a group of southside business and professional men added some $15,000 to the total and physicians pledged some $20,000 at a subsequent meeting. At the launching of the drive the total pledged by Negroes on the Southside had reached almost $80,000 and at the present time this total is growing rapidly. Binga Contributes Topping the contributions by Negroes is that of Jesse Binga, one of Chicago's wealthiest Negro citizens, who contributed five thousand dollars. But of equal significance was the gift of Tom Jackson, a stockyard laborer, who contributed $25.00 of his $26.00 weekly pay check, in order that he might share in the opportunity to help Chicagoans to attain their rightful place in the realms of medicine and conservation and preservation of health. The reason for this unusual interest may be found in the fact that this is not a campaign to raise funds for the enlargement or erection of "another hospital." It is more than that; it is a campaign to raise funds for the establishment of a great medical center, with one of the most far-reaching programs in the history of medical science as affecting our group. The program as outlined envolves the following phases: To Have 14 Clinics Hospitalization for our people under modern conditions and a highly trained full-time staff of physicians and surgeons. Fourteen clinics, under the supervision of the best trained clinicians available, where those who are bereft of funds may receive treatment. The establishment of research and training institution where physicians and surgeons may improve themselves and keep abreast of their profession, under the tutelage of specialists.

Washington—The National Advisory Committee on illiteracy, of which Secretary Kay Lyman Wilbur is Chairman, has received a gift of $15,000 from the Julius Rosenwald Fund to make studies of the different methods of relieving illiteracy. Several plans have been tried with success in various states and during the war the army had considerable experience in the rapid training of illiterates. A special committee, of which Dr. Mann of the American Council on Education is Chairman, has been placed in charge of the technique studies.

THE GARY AMERICAN Man Is Removed From Jail To Forestall Mob Man Is Removed From Jail To Forestall Mob RALEIGH, N. C.—(By A.N.B.)—Dave Locke, who was arrested in Wallace, N. C., charged with the murder of a white woman, was rushed here to the State prison, by three deputies, to prevent him from being lynched. According to officers Locke confessed to the Duplin County police that he killed Mrs. Stephen English, the murdered white woman, and later he denied the confession. He was arrested along with Dave Brockington Sunday morning for investigation. When questioned he is supposed to have told officers that he killed the woman and that Brockington had nothing to do with it. It was this confession that aroused the anger of the whites in Wallace and it is believed that had he not been rushed away he would have been lynched. Locke worked at a sawmill and was discharged Saturday, the day of the murder. He was captured near the house of the murdered woman Sunday. His actions since his incarceration have led to the belief that he was mentally unbalanced. GIRL WANTED to work in Drug Store. Must be intelligent and have good behavior.

WATSON W. B. Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, Foreign Advertising Representatives Obeyed The Stormy Ca SUN On the day of the Jeffries-Johnson fight, the sun was violently hot. But this in no way affected the crowds nor the actual ring battle. At no time during this battle did Johnson lose his "golden smile" as he decisively put an end to the last "white hope." True Stories Achievement Stories By GEORGE JONES What happened when a faithful employee obeyed the orders hastily flung at him by his employer, who left him in charge of a fortune in diamonds. A. B. MOSE MORTON, the unassuming young fellow, whose daring surprised and thwarted a dangerous thief. MOSE Morton, formerly of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, lived through a terrible experience when his master instructed him to guard the priceless diamonds he left behind in an enormous house near Egypt Mills. In this small town Mrs. Andrews, sister of the employer of Mose Morton, resided in the winter months. In fact, the experience was so unusual that Mose had stepped, almost before he realized it, into the spotlight of the state. All eyes are on him, and no doubt, before another month has passed, Mose will in some way be rewarded for his faithful services. It is known that the employer, Tom Waite, is now planning to surprise his brave employee with a nice sum of money. For not only did he save the fortune in diamonds that were left in his hands, but he was instrumental in captur- The Gary American ing the leader of the robber's gang, as well. That night when Mr. Waite took his departure from the house, bound for a country dance, he said to Mose: "If any suspicious characters appear here, shoot, and shoot to kill." Mose nodded his head, manifesting that he would obey instructions. And he did not hesitate to do it when the occasion came up a short while later. Just how Mr. Waite happened to leave the diamonds in care of his employee is uncertain, but it is established that Waite is a jewelry salesman who sometimes takes his valuables home with him over the week-end. Be that as it may, he was visiting his sister in the big brick house, with a fountain in the yard, flowers, summer houses, tennis courts, and everything. And Waite had all the jewelry he carried on his selling trips, in his possession. Sometimes Waite had to take back defective gems that his customers had sold only to have brought back, and besides these, he usually carried a fine display of samples. At any rate, on this particular night, he had something like thirty thousand dollars in diamonds which he gave to Mose to look after. Mose didn't step into Waite's confidence over night. He had been working in the family for a long number of years. Mrs. Andrews had testified that he was absolutely honest. Moreover, she had often spoken to her brother about Mose. She felt safe living alone there in that big house, with this venerable colored lad to look after her. She believed that if the occasion presented itself, Mose would make the supreme sacrifice for her safety. Mose knew he was in the favor of Mrs. Andrews, and this, of course, put him in the respect of all the help in the house. Everyone had implicit confidence in Mose. But Mose was going away. Mrs. Andrews was to be gone South for approximately three months, during which time the big house at Egypt Mills would be closed. In the meanwhile Mose was to be with Tom Waite, and he was packing his things to leave with his new employer the next morning when Waite stepped unobtrusively into his room with a black traveling bag in his hand. "Mose," he said quietly, "there's a fortune in diamonds in this grip, and I'm going to leave it with you to guard. Also, I'm going to give you an automatic pistol. Can you handle one?" Mose was not excited, although he could not help but realize the weight of the responsibility that had been placed on his shoulders. "I never did use one much, sir," he confessed stoutly. "But I can certainly try." Waite handed him the gun. "This bag is in your care. Guard it with your life. Don't let it out of your sight for a single moment. And—if any suspicious characters loom up around here, shoot to kill." The words went whirling through A After the famous Jeffries fight, Johnson, his wife, then the former Etta Duryea, sailed for London and Paris. In Paris there were insistent demands for Jack's appearance at music halls and other houses of amusement. At these places he often made short speeches. Mose's head. "Shoot to kill." It meant considerable to kill somebody. A human life was something that couldn't be given back. The gun felt heavy in his hand. Sure enough, he had the bag of diamonds. It contained a fortune in diamonds. And he had been instructed to guard it at the expense of human life. He heard the roar of a motor outside, knew the folks were leaving, heard the car thud its way down the gravel path. The sounds became muffled by distance, and eventually died out completely. Nasty job, he had. But the orders he had received had come from the man he respected and worked for. Mose felt that he was duty bound. They might do anything to him, but as long as he lived, they couldn't take that bag of diamonds from him. He determined to die before anything of that sort could happen. Mose was alone in the house. All the other help had gone to the dance. The house was still. Not a sound. Nothing to be heard, save the whisper of the wind, and the creak of a board blown back and forth. Mose remembered having nailed this strip above the garage door that morning, to stop up a crack through which snow sometimes fell. He carried the black suitcase with him. There was an enormous fireplace made of crude stone, and a large log in the grate, burning cheerfully. Here Mose stood, with the mantel of the fireplace being above his head, holding the gun in his hand. He set the grip down at his feet. He waited. He didn't know for what. But he felt a premonition that he was waiting for something. He had, in other words, one of those nerve-racking presentiments. Hours passed swiftly until, suddenly, he heard a sound at the front door. It was shoved open. It slammed back against the wall. A picture was jarred off, clattered to the floor, broken in many pieces. A strong draft of cold air swept through the red walled room. Then came the sound of slithering feet. Mose knew somebody was approaching him. He whirled about. His revolver was ready for instant action. Mose cursed himself for leaving that door unlocked. However, it was the custom of this community to leave the front door unlocked. Mose shouted the command to halt. But the dark bulk continued to advance toward him, drawing nearer and nearer. Then, without waiting, Mose fired twice. The first bullet cut the robed figure to his knees, the second cut him to the floor, but while he was on his knees, the man in the black robe fired one shot at his opponent, sending him staggering into the enormous grate When Mose fell into the grate he burned his hands. His clothes caught on fire. The black bag was scorched, for Mose had picked it up before firing a shot. But he managed to remove himself from the flames. 129 When he went to London, the Coronation of King George was in progress, but despite this fact, whenever Jack's car appeared on the London streets, the King was forgotten by the crowds as they struggled for a glimpse of the black champion.

The demands of the audience became deafening. Lissa's great hour! She advanced to the footlights and bowed. Now, in the full light she was plainly visible for the first time, a mulatto, a little above medium height, and of superb proportions. Wentworth noticed that she wore no makeup except a slight darkening of the lips that made them seem fuller, more deliberately Negroid. This struck him as significant. From the light bronze of her face her eyes looked out, large, expressive, and extraordinarily brilliant—Mamba's eyes—yes, and Hagar's. Now, for the first time, he noticed that she appeared self-conscious, anxious to be away. She bowed for the second time, and without waiting for the curtain, withdrew among the chorus. But the audience would not let it rest at that. They got to their feet and cheered. They kept the clamour going with a sort of mad persistence.

Apparently she did not see him, for she gave no sign. Instead she stopped where she was just out of the wings, and unaccompanied commenced to sing the National Anthem of the American Negro.

Only the great four-story structure where Mamba sits and suns herself, and which is said to contain some of the finest Georgian panelling and ironwork in the city, is impregnable, for its title stands in the name of one Lissa Atkinson, and Saint Julien Wentworth, who manages the property, states definitely that it is not for sale. Unmindful of the direct rays of the morning sun, Mamba is sitting, as is her custom, to watch the New York steamer put to sea. As though in mute protest against the invasion of law and order, she is attired in an old wrapper-like garment, faded and far from immaculate. Her legs, thrust straight out before her, are stockingless, and her feet disappear into disreputable-looking men's shoes. An old clay pipe juts at a rakish angle from between her toothless jaws, and from it smoke fumes in a lazy cloud about her face and drips away to offend the sensitive nostrils of the white passers-by, who are becoming more and more numerous as the houses fall one b one into the hands of the restorers.

Under the tired flesh the bones are commencing to assume undue prominence, foreshaowing their grim survival. Through gaps in the sparse gray hair the skull shows in sharp outline, and the brows are ridges beneath which the eyes are lost when the head is lowered. But this inevitable physical mutation which in another would denote senility has, instead of diminishing the force of her personality, in some strange way intensified it, so that those who speak to the old woman as she sits there feel it in the air about her like an aura. The Negro children who come and go sense it and grin delightedly at her word of affectionate abus. The cur now lying beneath her knee with only his muzzle showing under the folds of the wrapper knows it, and has gone there for refuge from a world that has no pity upon an unlicensed mongrel. Mamba has at last accomplished what she believes to be her final adjustment to the changing exigencies of life, and she has no complaint with Fate. The old room one flight up where Lissa was born, and from which Hagar was led to her banishment, is again her stronghold. But now how different in appearance! Papered with pictures of Lissa—Lissa at a steamer's rail, off to Europe—Lissa smiling from the centre of a rotogravure page in the costume of her latest opera—Lissa in a hundred poses, a hundred settings. But Mamba, corner or limitations has at last learned the necessity of their acceptance, for only by so doing can she project her memory back into a past shared by her daughters.

From behind the pier sound shouts and commands. Mamba sits forward, tense, expectant. Then majestically, across her rectangle of harbour moves the loft; cut-water of the New York steamer, folding back the flat blue into a-thin green line lipped with white, drawing after it the steep, black wall of the hull, the high, gleaming superstructure. This is the moment for which Mamba has been waiting. Now that the vessel has drawn its full length into her sphere of vision she sees in it more than the form of a familiar friend out of a loved past. It is no longer a great and mysterious ad- venturer putting forth from her little world into a vast unknown.

One spoonful in water neutralizes many times its volume in stomach acids and at once. The symptoms dis- appear in five minutes.

Now from the whistle a plume of steam is blown against the stark blue of the sky, and a hoarse, baying note wakes the echoes along the water- front. Far below the crowded decks, the soaring funnel, on her own pri- vate doorstep, Mamba draws herself together, and her eyes light with a gleam of her old impudent spirit. “Git along, den,” she says patron- isingly. “Git along.
