FARMERS URGED TO ACQUIRE LEARNING Gather at Montgomery in An annual Conference; Advised to Study Their Problems MONTGOMERY, ALA.—Having as his inspiration the presence of more than 200 substantial colored farmers of Montgomery county and the attractive exhibit of 250 pounds of homegrown pork and 105 dozen of eggs, Pres. Benjamin F. Hubert of the Georgia State college was the feature speaker at the third annual conference of Montgomery county's colored farmers held today at the Alabama State Teachers college, H. Councill Trenholm, president. Presented as a recently appointed member of the advisory committee of the National Illiteracy commission, President Hubert began by urging every farmer to learn at least to read. In a most practical and appealing fashion, the speaker emphasized the importance to every farmer of (1) getting some land that he can love, (2) finding out what that land can best produce, (3) getting first class stock and everything else that can work for the farmer, (4) recognizing that not only capital and labor but sense as well is necessary for successful farming, and (5) participating in all the efforts at cooperative marketing that are set up by the proper county officials. Other speakers at the morning session included Supt. W. R. Harrison, of the Montgomery Schools, Messrs. Simon Roswald of the state fair, and D. D. McInnis of the Royal mills. The conference devoted the opening hour to community reports on the work of these units during the year. For the afternoon, an interesting demonstration in the cutting and trimming of a hog as done by a representative of the local Armour agency and an extended address by Mr. T. M. Campbell, regional supervisor of the Southern states were the chief features. Ten prizes—five for the best exhibits of homegrown pork and --- GARY THEATRE TO PRESENT NEW SHOW Wrestling on Friday Nights Is Popular Attraction At Local Theatre Something new in the way of "night-life" is offered the "stayerslate" at the Gary Theatre tonight. A monster "Whoopee" party will be held with souvenirs and novelties given out free to all attending. The management declines to go into detail regarding the party but promises a big "surprise" at the midnight show. This late performance, which in this past has started at 12:00 midnight will get on the way promptly at 11:30 in the future. The new show for the week is ushered in at this performance, and special attractions are offered in conjunction with the regular performance. An announcement of major importance comes from the Gary management. A. C. Brill, operator of the theatre has withdrawn his road show from its round of the Mutual Burlesque Circuit and it will be brought here direct and intact from its recordbreaking run and coupled with the regular Gary theatre stock show. This will make two big shows in one at the same admission price as in the past. "Pretty Babies" is without doubt one of the greatest burlesque shows on the road and is said to be an optical feast of scenic splendor and feminine pulchritude. Bargain matinees are held for the ladies on every week day, at which time all seats are priced to them at 25c. —Secret service men watch the hands, not the faces, of all persons who call upon the president, as a precaution against assassination. five for the best three-dozen-egg displays—that totalled $225.00 were announced by Mr. Haygood Paterson, chairman of the county board of revenue. Office of Publication: 7 East 19th Avenue Telephone Gary 2-4660 - If Busy, Call Gary 2-3865 GARY, INDIANA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1930 SLICK'S LAUNDRY USES 70 PER CENT COLORED HELP And Provides Insurance For All On Payrolls; Find Negroes Honest, Efficient By MARJORIE BURRELL Out of more than a hundred persons working at the place, seventy per cent of the employees of Slick's Gary Laundry company are colored men and women, who draw more than $60,000 a year in wages and salary. This fact was established today by a reporter of The Gary American as a result of an interview with Glen F. Slick, manager and proprietor of the institution. Not only does the laundry employ a large number of colored people, but provides for their welfare by furnishing employment insurance to every person on the payroll. This insurance is provided as long as the employee is working at the laundry. When approached by the writer, Mr. Slick was at first reluctant to talk of his employees and his relations with them. But when persuaded, he agreed to grant the interview. "I have in my employ a little more than one hundred men and women," he said. "Of this number about 70% are colored. Their annual salaries amount to a trifle more than $60,000.00." "We have a life insurance on the girls which we pay for them as long as they are in our employ", continued Mr. Slick. "They name their own beneficiaries and in case of death the beneficiary receives the sum of $550.00. At first we had some difficulty in getting the colored girls to sign for the policies because they thought that the company would derive the benefit, but after one of the girls died about three years ago we pinned the check for $550.00 (made out to the deceased's mother) on the bulletin we have had no trouble. In so far as the majority of our help is colored, we have opened a lunch room for them and it is used freely by all who care to do so. "We have found that the colored help is just as efficient, if not more so, under colored supervision, so we now have a colored floor-lady over the girls in the flat work department thus making this department entirely colored." "How long?" I asked, "has this group been under colored supervision?" "Well, let me see," said Mr. Slick, "I think this division has been under a colored departmental head for six years." The reason for asking this question was to determine whether it was a new experiment or whether the policy had been tested; to see if his faith in colored supervision was justified or not. Asked if he found the colored employees any more dishonest or unreliable than employees of any other race, Mr. Slick replied that he had found that honesty was not a racial question but an individual matter. He said that colored people as a whole were as honest as any other people as a whole. He stated further that all of his employees were conscientious and reliable. "There are some problems that have to be adjusted,' he said, "but as I have said before these problems are not race problems but individual problems. There is no friction between the two groups." There is no definite kind of work assigned to the Negroes. Where ever they are found capable they are used. Mr. Slick also said that he also had many customers among the colored people and that he appreciated and sought their business. As proof of this statement, the laundry is a regular advertiser in The Gary American. "Not So Dumb" Comes To Chicago Theatre One of the funniest stage plays ever produced now takes its place as a laugh-filled talking picture. "Not So Dumb," starring Marion Davies, coming to the Chicago theatre on Friday, February 7, was a smashing success as a stage play under the name of "Dulcy." Crammed from beginning to end with unusual situations and witty dialogues, "Not So Dumb" is truly a laugh riot. —Sailors play a game of cards called "ablewhackets" in which the loser's palms are beaten with a twisted handkerchief. Critic Commends Roland Hayes As Big Benefactor Critic Commends Roland Hayes As Big Benefactor NEW YORK—Harvey Gaul, musical critic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, in reviewing a recent recital of Doland Hayes, hails the part played by Negro artists in bringing about inter-racial sympathy and understanding. He says in part: "If we could hear more Roland Hayeses, more Paul Robesons, it would do more for racial appreciation than a dozen good-will ambassadors, and blathering Caucasion surveys. You hear these men and the Negro looms large and you are aware that the colored man has something of importance to contribute other than pick-and-shovel, wastub work." The Post-Gazette of which Paul Bloch is publisher, recently published a fine editorial tribute to a Negro policeman who died while attempting to prevent a robbery. THRONGS APPEAR IN TALKIE PICTURE THRONGS APPEAR IN TALKIE PICTURE Many Marines, Orchestras and Nationalities Featured in "Cock-Eyed World" An idea of the number of people used in the production of "The Cock Eyed World," all talking Fox Movietone production, directed by Raoul Walsh, was gleaned from the work sheets in the office of David Todd, assistant casting director of Fox Films. In the scenes taken at Mare Island Navy Yard just outside of San Francisco, and abreast the U. S. Transport Henderson, 1,200 real marines are con, together with two navy bands, ship's officers, crews, etc., to the number of 800. In the Russian, tropical and New York scenes, 400 former marines were used for many days. In the Russian sequences Walsh used 125 real Russians who are heard speaking in their native tongue, and 150 Russian men, women and children recruited from the local Russian colony in Hollywood and Los Angeles who might be classified as Russo-Americans. In the tropical scenes, Walsh used 175 real Spanish and Mexican types and in the Coney Island scenes, 150 dancing couples hand picked from Los Angeles dance halls were used. In the night scenes at Coney, 350 people were used as atmosphere. The east, headed by Victor McLaglen with Edmund Lowe and Lily Damita, had more than forty in support, each heard, as well as seen. It opens February 12 at the Roosevelt Theatre for four days. Likewise, seven distinct musical organizations aggregating close to 150 musicians and including two navy bands, a Spanish marimba band, Jose Aries serenaders, a Russian Balalaika orchestra, a marine string orchestra and a hot jazz orchestra at Coney Island, play the music of all nations in logical sequences. Publix To Open A New Theatre The new Publix-Balaban & Katz Century Theatre, located at Clark street, Diversey blvd. and Broadway, to be opened Friday, February 7, may well be designated as "Chicago's Cathedral of Talking Pictures." On entering the Century one is confronted with a large spacious lobby, which rises to tremendous heights, mindful of the glory of the Grand Hall of Versailles. One is instantly impressed with the beauty of the elaborate architecture. Going through to the foyer the scene next meeting the eye is one of harmonious brilliance. The furnishings, architecture and all are so tastefully placed it is indeed soothing to the eye. Inside, in the auditorium, is a magnificent sight. The style of architecture is neither loud nor gaudy, but quietly distinctive. Talking pictures being the principal entertainment at the Century, attention has been concentrated on the talkie equipment. Great care has been given acoustic conditions so that there will be no variance in sound any section of the auditorium. It is the aim of the Publix-Balaban & Katz executives to rank the Century RACE RELATIONS IN SOUTH IMPROVING THINKS HIGHTOWER Prominent Churchman Returns From Extensive Trip Through Dixie Race relations in the southern states have improved in the last ten years, and a greater feeling of amity between whites and blacks has developed as a result of education. Returning from the Southland after an absence of ten years, this is the impression brought back to Gary by Thomas W. Hightower, well known insurance agent and prominent member of First A. M. E. church. Leaving Gary several weeks ago, Hightower, with members of his family, made a tour of both Georgia and Florida. He was also accompanied by his brother, Joseph Hightower and wife and Mrs. Ida Mae Frederick and daughter, Fostina. They covered more than 7,000 miles while on the trip without a single puncture. Driving a Dodge six sedan, they encountered no motor troubles. Some of the places they visited included Atlanta, Macon, Hawkinsville, Waycross, and Soperten, in Georgia; and Tampa, St. Petersburg, St. Augustine and Jacksonville, in Florida. Asked about the relations between white people and Negroes in the two states he visited, Mr. Hightower declared that they had markedly improved. The progress of education he attributed to the improvement. "As both races are now getting a chance to attend school and as the educational systems in the south are being developed, it stands to reason," he said, "that the races would become more tolerant of each other, and more friendly in their attitudes." A spirit of freindship and cooperation has replaced one of selfishness and prejudice, Hightower said. While touring in Georgia, Hightower declared he was also impressed by the progress made in agriculture. Negro farmers, he said, were learning diversified farming and are learning to get more out of their efforts at farming. He declared that the feeling of unrest which actuates so many Negroes in the south to leave the section and come north no longer exists in as great a degree as before the World War. He stated that conditions in the two states he visited were generally prosperous, and residents seemed contented. Mr. Hightower is a native of Soperren, Georgia. COMMUNITY GROUP HERE IN MEETING Representatives From Every Or organization in City Meet To Discuss Needs Activities of the Community council, an organization launched by the Gary Noonday [Business club, will soon be felt in Gary, as a result of the completion of the council's personnel. On Sunday, February 2, there was a meeting of the committee on organization. The purpose of this meeting was to formulate plans to organize the committee of the council. Representatives from twenty different organizations were present and formed a temporary committee, and each is to give a report to their respective groups. The officers of the committee on organization were made officers of the temporary committee.

TRANSFERPRIMARY CASE TO 'ORLEANS National Association Seek To Try Case Before Election To Test Validity NEW YORK—Because the Fort Worth division, of the U. S. circuit court of appeals does not meet until the democratic primaries are over in 1930, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through the attorneys in the case has applied to have it transferred from Fort Worth to New Orleans. The New Orleans division of the federal court will sit in time for the Negro democrats to have their case heard before the primary election from which it was sought to bar them. Messrs. Arthur B. Spingarn, of New York, and Fred C. Knollenberg and E. F. Cameron, of El Paso, N.A.A. C.P. counsel for Dr. Nixon, have agreed with the defense counsel, who occurs in the motion for transfer of of the case in order that it may be heard before the primary election. The present case tests the right of a democratic state committee to bar colored voters from a primary election, following the U. S. Supreme court's decision in the first Texas white primary case that the state could not bar colored voters by law. This is one of several such cases undertaken by the N.A.A.C.P., one or all of which may go to the U. S. Supreme court to affirm the principle established in the white primary victory of 1927. The N.A.A.C.P. is financing a similar case, West v. Bliley, in Virginia in which the U. S. federal court of appeals recently upheld decision of the court holding such exclusion unconstitutional. Similar cases in Florida and Arkansas are being closely watched.

PRICE THREE CENTS APPOINTMENTS ARE DISCUSSED PRO AND CON BY RESIDENTS More Letters Received by the Gary American on Mayor's Recent Appointments (Editor's Note. — Last week, The Gary American invited its readers to express their views on the appointments of Mayor R. O. Johnson. In response to the invitation, the following letters have been received): Editor The American: I notice that in last week's issue of The American, one, Mrs. Lena Lott sent in a letter in which she said we should have patience with the mayor and give him more time to show his appreciation for the Negro vote he received in the election. If we have not been patient, I would like know what we have been. Mr. Johnson could not have gone into office without a feeling of ingratitude for the support given him by Negroes in Gary. He could not have possibly ascended to the chair of mayor of Gary without feeling it a duty to show his appreciation for the colored people putting him into office. From the few appointments he has made, from the insignificance of all of them, it is apparent that the mayor had neither a feeling of gratitude or a consciousness of his duty. It is a known fact that the white people of Gary did not want Johnson as mayor, and still do not want him. Where would he had been without the Negro vote? Yours in truth. IRA J. JONES. Editor The American: I think it the general opinion of the people of Gary that Johnson has proved a disappointment already. But Johnson is smart. He's one of the shrewdest politicians in Lake county. He didn't promise them anything to begin with, and the Negroes in their blind loyalty to the republican party swept him into office by a comfortable majority. Johnson is not to blame after all. When a man doesn't promise you anything, and you go ahead and support him, that's your own fault. The worst man is one who promises everything and accomplishes nothing. JAMES R. SEWELL. Editor The American: I agree with the writer of a letter in your paper last week when he said that Johnson should have placed a colored man on either the board of safety or the board of public works. By doing that, Johnson would have shown himself truly grateful for the Negro vote. L. J. WASHINGTON. Editor The American: It seems strange to me that out of great number of colored people who were hollering about Johnson before the election, I can find so few who mention his name now. I think that's the greatest proof that Johnson has proved a disappointment. FRANK H. WHITE. What do you think of the mayor's appointments? Write your views and send them in to the editor of The Gary American. If you do not want to sign your name, it is not necessary. We want your views. Get busy and send them in. "Sunny Side Up" On At McVicker's Theatre "Sunny Side Up," that gay musical revue of a dozen songs, still charms all who see it at the McVickers theatre.

Manning, former populist leader, state representative of Alabama, republican post master of Alexandria City, Ala., under McKinley and Roosevelt, and lone exponent of justice and equality among all citizens in the south, who for the past thirty years has been a relentless fighter against peonage, disfranchisement and black belt frauds, whose messages attracted national significance throughout the white press north and south and whose vitriolic speeches forced him to flee to the north where he continued to expose the south for its injustice to our group and made him a man without a home, now lies critically ill of cancer of the throat, tho his voice is silent, he still painfully attempts to write. Not since the days of Lincoln has a white man come out of the southland imbued with the truth, justice and fair play for our group, had the courage of his conviction; and dared to speak thru press and pulpit of the actual conditions existing south of Mason and Dixon as has J. C. Manning. To-day he is on his deathbed, after nearly forty years battle, realizing his physical condition, and having sacrificed fortune, wife and family of six children and a great future, ostracized and hated by the south, all because he dared to fight for the principles enunciated by Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Lincoln, John Brown, Grant, Wendell Phillips, and Roosevelt.

"The figure of $293 was determined by the American Automobile association after thorough research," the bulletin stated. "The largest item in the 1930 budget of the composite car owner will be that of gasoline and oil, amounting to approximately $100. Other items will be service labor, $82; replacements, $55; tires, $54, and accessories, $21. The total 1930 expenditure for these commodities will be nearly three times the size of the budget of the federal government. "The 1928 maintenance figure was $7,230,000,000. While the 1929 sum has not been finally tabulated, it is expected to exceed $7,500,000,000. Increased in both registration and travel will account for the eight billions this year."

Neither does it have anyone to punish; it has but one aim, to which it will cling with pious devotion, and that is to stand squarely in defense of the rights of the black American.”—Prospectus of The Gary American No. 1, November 10, 1927. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1930 Lincoln And Douglass; Statesmen The lives of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, whose birthdays the nation will celebrate next week, have many parallels. Lincoln, born on February 12, 1809, and Douglass, born on February 14, 1817, were leaders of the age which produced them. Both dedicated themselves to the emancipation and advancement of the oppressed Negro. Both were abolitionists. Both revealed the qualities of true greatness in their unswerving loyalty to the principles which they believed right. By study and application, each fitted himself for the work which he aspired to achieve; and by perseverance, both accomplished the aims they espoused, captured the admiration of the nation, and earned imperishable honor and undying fame. Perhaps no two characters in American history were so much alike, and the fact that Lincoln, a Caucasian, and Douglass, a Negro, were self-made men who gained honor and respect thru rendering ser- vice to an oppressed people,—this fully demonstrates that race is no handicap to those who aspire to serve humanity, whether that service consists of giving strength to the weak, or demanding power and recognition from the strong. As future generations come to behold the greatness of the two their places in history will stand out more conspicously as the year: pass. False Advertising Bad For Gary ~ No influence is so pernicious as false advertising. It seems hard for the Mid-City Realty company of this city to realize this fact. In a conspicuous advertisement appearing in a Chicago newspa- per, this company advertises: “Millions of dollars are now being spent in the building of new factories in the city of Gary, Indiana, the great steel center of the west. | There large additions are bound to increase the population of Gary by many thousands. Gary, Indiana, offers you now a won- derful opportunity for your future. In this fast growing city, just 22 years old, you can work in pleasant surroundings, give your child- ren a good education and enjoy life thoroughly. Our three million dollar company has helped many people own their own homes, ete. ete.” Gary has had already too much of the boosting and booming which advertisements like this represent. It is alright to boost our city. There are many things in Gary of which we can be justly proud. i The coming of new mills and factories is one of them. — But the city already has enough on its unemployed list to furnish labor for those projects now being contemplated. There are enough men here out of work to tax the employment situation in Gary for the next ten years. Nor can Negroes in Gary “enjoy life thoroughly.” Here, as in any other place, they are subject to insult and discrimination, and likely to be exploited by those who are unprincipled. They are jim crowed in the schools; they have little or no recognition in politics, and denied many of the rights which, as citizens and tax payers, they are justly entitled to. Many people have come here believing the place a Utopia, and just because conditions in the city were described in glowing gener- alities in misleading advertisements. And the city and its people have to suffer and bear the responsibility of caring for the misguided throngs who come expecting to find a paradise and, not finding it, become subjects of charity or else infest our city with crime. Abraham Lincoln Still Serves Every year it becomes apparent that Abraham Lincoln's services to his country and humanity are not limited to his life time. Though his spacious heart, his rational mind, his impressive face and figure no longer function as such, the memory of these things continue virile and inspiring to this generation as to those just ahead and others still to follow. His greatest service comes when the spirit droops, the conscience becomes torpid, when the lust of materialism seizes the minds and hearts of the people and they turn from these great truths for which the Emancipator stood in such sublime dignity and firmness. This like some of its immediately preceding years is one when the people may invoke with abundant profit to themselves the spirit of Lincoln, his self-effacement, his unbounded humanitarianism, his subordination of petty to large things, his high morality, his deep spirituality, his tremendous zeal for the good of all. No normal man or woman can stand in the shadow of Lincoln's memory and do little things. Lincoln serves today no less mightily than during his life time. His example seems especially appropriate this year. In the rush to aggrandize self, to pile up substance, to give short shrift to spirit, to live.only for the day, the memory of Lincoln comes to caution and re- strain and to point the way to a path of service he followed so diligently. e ?

The Gary American ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—February 8.1930 Bus Williams's jolly round brown face beamed down on the crowd as he directed his popular hit—She's Still My Baby: You take her out to walk And give her baby-talk, But talk or walk, walk or talk— She's still my baby! But the cheese-colored countenance of Fessenden Baxter, his professional rival, who with his orchestra occupied the adjacent half of the platform, was totally oblivious to She's Still My Baby. Baxter had just caught sight of a girl, and catching sight of girls was one of his special accomplishments. Unbelief, wonder, amazement registered in turn on his blunt, bright features. He passed ar, bent him back over the edge of th you and jump in your face, I swear to a hand over his straightened brown hair and bent to Perry Parker, his trumpetist. "P. P., do you see what I see, or is it only the gin?" "Both of us had the gin," said P. P. "So both of us sees the same thing." "Judas Priest! Look at that figure, boy!" "Never was no good at figures." said P. P. "I've got to get me an armful of that baby." "Lay off, papa," advised P. P. "What do you mean, lay off?" "Lay off. You and your boy got enough to fight over already, ain't you?" "My boy?" "Your boy. Bus."

"Oh you have?—Well, P. P., my boy, remember, that's you." Beyond the brass rail that limited the rectangular dance area at one lateral extreme there were many small round tables and clusters of chairs. Bus Williams and the youngest hostess occupied one of these tables while Fess Baxter's Firemen strutted their stuff. Bus ignored the tall glass before him, apparently endeavoring to drain the girl's beauty with his eyes; a useless effort, since it lessened neither her loveliness nor his thirst. Indeed the more he looked AYS $ ^{99} $ Anoth Part S Another Heart-Rending 2- Part Story by Joseph Baker folks?" Clean Fiction Human Interest Features the less able was he to stop looking. Oblivious, the girl was engrossed in the crowd. Her amber skin grew clearer and the roses imprisoned in it brighter as her merry black eyes danced over the jostling company. "Think you'll like it?" he asked. "Like it?" She was a child of Harlem and she spoke its language. "Boy, I'm having the time of my life. Imagine getting paid for this!" "You ought to get a bonus for beauty." "Nice time to think of that-after I'm hired." "You look like a full course dinner—and I'm starved." "Hold the personalities, papa." "No stuff. Wish I could raise a loan on you. Baby—what a roll I'd tote." "Thanks. Try that big farmer over there hoofin' it with Sister Full-bosom. Boy, what a side-show they'd make!" "Yea. But what I'm lookin' for is a leadin' lady." "Yea? I got a picture of any lady leadin' you anywhere." "Be yourself, brother." "Time, papa. Stay out of my past." "Sure—if you let me into your future." "Speaking of the orphanage—?" "You wouldn't know it now. They got new buildings all over the place." "Somehow that fails to thrill me." "You always were a knock-out, even in those days. You had the prettiest hair of any the girls out there—and the sassiest hip-switch." "Look at Fred and Adele Astaire over there. How long they been doing blackface?" "I used to watch you even then. Know what I used to say?" "Yea. 'Toot-a-toot-toot' on a bugle." "That ain't all. I used to say to myself, 'Boy, when that sister grows up, I'm going to —'." Her eyes grew suddenly onyx and stopped him like an abruptly reversed traffic signal. "What's the matter?" he said. What's the matter?" he said. She smiled and began nibbling the straw in her glass. "What's the matter, Jean?" "Nothing. Innocence. Nothing. Your boy plays a devilish one-step, doesn't he?" "Say. You think I'm jivin', don't you?" "No, darling. I think you're selling insurance." "Think I'm gettin' previous, just because I got you the job." "Funny. I never have much luck with jobs." "Well I don't care what you think, I'm going to say it." "Let's dance." "I used to say to myself, 'When that kid grows up, I'm going to ask her to marry me.'" She called his bluff. "Well, I'm grown up." "Marry me, will you, Jean?" Her eyes relented a little in admiration of his audacity. Rarely did a sober aspirant have the courage to mention marriage. "You're good, Bus. I mean, you're good." "Every guy ain't a wolf, you know, Jean." "No. Some are just ordinary meat-hounds." From the change in his face she saw the depth of the thrust, saw pain where she had anticipated chagrin.

Abruptly, ®as if someone had caught and held his right arm. Bus’s baton halted above his head His men kept on playing under the impulse of their own momen- tum, but Bus was a creature apart. Slowly his baton drooped, like the crest of a proud bird, beaten. His eyes died_on their object and all his features sagged. On the floor forty feet away, amid the surround- ing clot of dancers, Jean and Bax- ter had stopped moving and were standing perfectly still, The girl had clasped her partner close about , the shoulders with both arms. Her face was buried in his chest. Baxter, who was facing the plat- form, looked up and saw Bus star- ing. He drew the girl closer, grin- ned, and shut one eye. They stood so a moment or an hour till Bus dragged his eyes away. Automatically he resumed beating time. Every moment or so his baton wavered, slowed, and hurried to catch up. The blues were very low-down, the nakedest of jazz, a series of periodic wails against a background of steady, slow rhythm, each pounding pulse descending in- evitably, like leaden strokes of fate. Bus found himself singing the words of this grief-stricken lamen- i tation: Trouble—trouble has followed me all my dfys, Trouble—trouble has followed me| all my days— | Seems like trouble’s gonna follow me always. | The mob demanded an encore, a mob that knew its blues and liked them blue. Bus complied. Each refrain became bluer as it was caught up by a different voice: the wailing clarinet. the weeping C sax, the moaning B flat sax, the trombone, and Bus’s own plaintive tenor: Baby—Baby—my baby’s gone away. Baby—baby—my baby’s pone away— Seems like baby—my baby’s gone to stay. Presently the thing beat itself out, and Bus turned to acknowl- edge applause. He broke a bow off in half. Directly before the plat- form stood Jean, alone, looking up at_him. He pupa down. “Dance?” “No. isten. You know what I said at the table?” “At the table?” “About—wolves?” “Oh—that—?” “Yea. I didn’t mean anything personal. Honest I didn't.” Her ee besought his. “You didn't think I meant anything personal. did you?” “ Course not.” He laughed. “I know now you didn’t mean any- thing.” He laughed again. “Neither one of us meant anything.” Her eyes lifted, widened, fell. “Oh,” she said. “Neither one of us meant—anything.” With a wy little smile, he watched her slip off through the crowd. * . s *. From his side of the platform Bus overheard Fess Baxter talking to Perry Parker. Baxter had a custom of talking while he conducted, the jazz serving to blanket his words. The blanket was not quite heavy enough tonight. “P. P., old pooter, she fell.” Parker was resting while the C sax took the lead. “She did?” “No lie.

It is quite possible to go through a whole lifetime without seeing one. The reason the subject of this sketch deserves special mention is because she is the only woman bank president in the United States who has a drop of African blood in her veins. And there is every reason to believe she is the only one in the whole world of her racial persuasion who presides over a bank directorate. When an individual happens to be one in 15,000,000 to fill an unusual and difficult position with brilliant success it is natural and fitting to call attention to his or her career. As you pass the corner of First and Marshall streets in Richmond, Virginia, you may see the St. Luke's Bank and Trust Co., of which Mrs. Maggie Mitchell Walker is president. Twenty-six years ago, at the suggestion of this woman, a bank was started under the name of the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank. She was then secretary of the Independent Order of St. Luke (grand secretary-treasurer of the order, she was called), and she persuaded the directors and members of that organization, that it would be a good thing to establish a bank which could invest a part of the idle funds The Stormy Car ormy Career THE CAT WAS ON THE Couch.

Later on, the legislature of Virginia enacted a law which forced the separation of secret orders and their banks, and the name was changed to the St. Luke's Bank and Trust Co. Under the presidency of Mrs. Walker this bank is conceded to be one of the best managed financial institutions in the United States When the bank was established it had a deposit of only $8,000, which has increased in size till it has reached $500,000.

This was the first time that Jack's faith in friends and humanity was shaken. bank, it is hard to visualize her as the daughter of a washerwoman carrying clothes which she and her mother had laundered, to the aristocracy of the capital of the Confederacy. Yet this woman bank president's early life was passed amid humble and unpromising surroundings. When Maggie Mitchell was born, however, her condition in life was far better than was that of many a child whose parents had been slaves and but newly freed, as hers had been. Her father, William Mitchell was the head waiter of the far-famed St. Charles hotel of Richmond, which was about as high a rung on the ladder as men of the colored group could then hope to reach. He provided a comfortable home for his family, not far from the house said to have been occupied by Edgar Allan Poe when he was a boy living with John Allan, his adopted father. And at no great distance from the two-story frame Above—Mrs. Maggie Mitchell Walker. At the right—Her beautiful home.

Her father suddenly disappeared. For five days his family, his friends and the police of Richmond searched for him, and then found his lifeless body in the river There was little doubt that William Mitchell had been robbed, murdered and his body thrown into the James Helped with Washing After her father's death the daughter's condition in life was completely changed. A heavy responsibility was placed upon her shoulders. Her mother had her two children, a son and a daughter, and herself to support. She knew she could make more money taking in washing than by engaging in anything else, and this she resolved to do on as large a scale as possible. Maggie was an invaluable assistant. She helped with the cooking the washing, the ironing and fetched and carried clothes. But in spite of the hard manual labor she had to perform, Maggie Mitchell 4 which had been established for colored children, in 1883.

Her husband was the son of an expert brickmason and building contractor, by whom some of the finest buildings in Richmond had been constructed.

A dispute over this caused their separation. Richmond. It would be as impossible to tell the story of Maggie Walker's life without referring to this organization as it would be to give the history of the St. Luke order without telling the role which its right worthy grand secretary-treasurer played. She made the order and the order made her. While serving this organization the opportunity was presented to Mrs. Walker to display those rare qualities of head and heart which have caused her name to be known and her praises to be sung in every section of the United States where the colored American lives. Founded to Help The Independent Order of St. Luke has an interesting history, indeed. It was formed in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1867 by Mary Prout, who had been a slave, shortly after the emancipation proclamation set her free. All around her she saw the newly emancipated slaves in their poverty and ignorance groveling in distress and need. The condition of those who were well and strong was bad enough, but it was pitiable beyond description when they were stricken with disease. Deeply moved by the scenes of helplessness and misery she witnessed, this ex-slave conceived the idea of establishing a fraternal organization which could minister to the sick and bury the dead.

When he handed in his resignation and _ re- fused absolutely to serve another minute, the members of the ordet feared that its last days had come The reasons assigned by the secre- tary for refusing to hold office any longer were sufficient to discourage the most confirmed optimists among the membership. - In the first place, he told them that there was no money in the treas- ury. The order was not spreading tast enough, he said. He complained also that there was a tatal lack of co-operation between grand officers and those of the subordinate coun- cils. And last, but certainly not least, the salary of $300 a year was too small, he averred. As if thar were not enough to make the stoutest heart quail, the abdicating secretary informed the order that there was only $31.60 in the treasury, and un- paid bills amounting to $400! Maggie Walker Unafriad If a bomb had been thrown into the meeting at which the informa- tion was furnished, it could scarcely have caused more terrifying dismay In the midst of this chaos and confusion, while many were predict- ing that the order could not pos- Sibly survive the fatal blow which the secretary had dealt, Maggie Walker was elected to succeed him. To make the oflice just as undesirable as possible, the salary was reduced from $300 to $100 a year. Nothing daunted, however, the new secretary buckled on the armor and went to work. No sooner had she entered upon her duties than the organization took on new life and began to grow by leaps and bounds The new secretary’s personal mag- netism, her earnestness, her mark- ed ability as a clear, forceful. per- suasive speaker and her keen busi- ness acumen enabled her to work wonders in building up the organiza- tionsin a very snort time. _ The $31.66 which Mrs. Walker found in the treasury when she was elected thrty years ago has now in- creased to more than $500,000. And that, too, in spite of the fact that nearly $2,000,000 in death claims have ‘been paid. The membership has grown from a little more than 3,000 to 103,000 women, men and children.

TO things about them, and the schools, almost everywhere, are doing their bit toward this end. But, how different is the picture in the average home! Whipping, slapping and knocking children about is still the common practice with most parents. Parents cannot be urged too often to stop and consider toward what end they are rearing children. What is the result they are after? So many times you hear a mother say: "I'm an old-fashioned mother. My mother reared me that way and I'm not going to let my children get ahead of me. They know I'll beat them." etc. Now, is life just the same in our times as in those of our mothers? All about, things are different. "Spare the rod, etc" is as much out of date for these times as the tallow candle. We have moved along swiftly. We need good nerves, plenty of courage and independence to succeed these days. Will beatings give children any of these? The answer is "No." A parent must decide whether he is rearing his children to be slaves humble, fearful people. If so the rod is a great help toward this end. You may be sure you will not cow your child or brutalize him if you beat him often and long enough. With or without cause, he will hate any one stronger than he. He'll long for the day when he's big enough to pay back in like coin. Or, he will lie and deceive you in order to escape beatings.

That was done in 1895— one of the first things she did after joining it. Having started with 8,000 children, the membership has increased to more than 20,000. The celebration of the twentieth anniversary of Mrs. Walker's ser- vices as the “Right Worthy Grand- Secretary-Treasurer_of the Indepen- dent Order of St. Luke” was one of the most remarkable ever observed in the United States. The resolu- tions read on that occasion declared that Mrs. Walker “has brought the organization to a state of brosperity beyond the fondest dreams of its founders.” “There hath not arisen a greater soul nor abler executive than our present right worthy grand secretary-treasurer,” was one of the declarations made. The members resolved further that “in order to show the depth of ap- preciation which this anniversary rep- resents, we remove from her heart the embarrassment of re-election quadregn aly and hereby recommend the suspension of. the rule bearing on the election of secretary-treasurer during her natural life for the good she has done and for the good we be- lieve she will do to the last moment of her earthly existence. No other person in this order has so unquali- fiedly earned this reward, this excep- tion to our history, and we give it in the name of God and her de- voted co-workers. Amen.” Then, to give tangible evidence of their gratitude and appreciation the order increased Mrs. Walker's compensation to $500.00 monthly, “which is but fair,” the resolution states, “since the work under the new plan is doubled and the respon- sibility is greatly increased over the former years. Another reason for this increase in salary is the high cost of living. The preservation of dignity of our grand order demands IF YOU WANT Money, Love, Easy Life SUCCESS W-ite today.

Thousands LARIEUSE FRENCH HAIR COLORING thing about the modern methods of fasting as a means of helping to keep the body in perfect health. I am glad to do this for the simple reason that fasting is something that almost anyone can do if given the proper instructions and it represents practically no expense and very little inconvenience. The idea of fasting is based on the fact that the food that we eat contains a certain amount of waste matter. This waste matter if not properly eliminated from the body, accumulates and as a result creates a diseased or inflamed condition. Now you know that if you were firing a furnace and stopped putting fuel on the fire, your fire would soon be gone. The same thing applies to the condition of the body where a fast is necessary. When you stop putting food into the body you stop furnishing the material out of which the poison is created and a cure is certain to result. There is one difference though between firing the furnace and feeding the body. You could stop putting in the coal all at one time but you cannot stop eating anything and everything without suffering a severe internal shock that will be more destructive in its effect than the poison that has accumulated. Therefore the starting of a fast is the most important thing. Ordinarily the patient will drop one meal a day. After going on this way for two or three days, it is comparatively easy to cut down the other two meals to about half what you ordinarily would eat at that time. In order to keep the stomach well filled however, an increasingly greater amount of water is drunk each day. When you feel hungry you drink a CHILD T By ELIS (Continued from Page Five) CHILD TRAINING money on children who will be slavish, cowardly or timid in the end, corporeal punishment is the correct method. No doubt, some of my readers think this picture of family life is overdrawn. So might I, had I not constant reminders that prove it still to be a true picture. Think of this incident! Last week while busy in a room which overlooks the neighbor's back yard. I was startled by the terrified screeching of children across the fence. A hurried peering through the window showed two tots about three and four years old, backed into a corner on tip-toes, with hands in the air, trying to get away from a white fox terrier. The little rascal was enjoying teasing the children. But they could not see the fun. It might have been an amusing picture because the dog was so small. But, so were the children and they were genuinely scared. I was just thinking of the picture and hoping that someone should come out DETECTIVES—Travel, make secret investigations.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—February 8, 1930 By ELISE AYER glass of water, possibly two glasses but at least keep drinking water as much as possible without drinking so much that it turns the stomach and nauseates. Glasses of orange juice or lemonade with very little syrup or sweetening has the same effect or will provide a very limited amount of food. In the course of a week of this plan, it will be possible to have eliminated practically everything that followed nature from the diet and from then on, fasting is simply a matter of doing without food and instead of eating—drinking a great deal of water. There is no further danger until the time when you break the fast and here you need to give careful attention to the whole program in order to get the most satisfactory results. Instead of going immediately and starting in on a heavy diet, commence with the same orange juice diet that you used in starting the fast. Two or three, or three or four glasses of orange juice and a bowl of soup is sufficient for the first day when you are getting away from the No Food Program. A slight increase in this each day will adjust the stomach to the eventual return to solid foods. Fasting is good for almost everything that affects the stomach or the system in general. A fast will help you clean up a skin that is pimply will help to cure headaches and will give you an alertness of thought and action that cannot be secured in any other way.

She belabored them about the head and legs. The children were in a panic. They had been attacked by a larger animal and one they would ordinarily least expect. "Will you shut up?" she yelled as she let fly. "You know that dog ain't nuthin.' I'm tired of that noise. Shut up!" Poor youngsters. It was a small tragedy to me, but a large one to them. Could they shut up when they were being scared and hurt more than the dog could scare them? Would beating teach them how to stop fearing dogs? In one way only by making the dog the less ferocious of the two animals attacking them. Would beating teach them to look to this parent with trust for guidance in time of difficulty? It accomplished nothing except to allow a selfish and cruel mother to rid herself of excess energy generated by the irritation of the barking and the crying. It is such frequent demonstrations that make me characterize the rod as a vicious instrument and, the saying, "Spare the rod and spoil the child" as vicious propaganda. It salves the conscience of lazy parents into thinking they are following out time-honored methods which are, because of the saying, still thought to be good. Rather, the words should run: "Be sparing with the rod, or you will spoil the child." Use every other means before resorting to the whip.
