Office of Publication: 7 East 19th Avenue Telephone Gary 2-4660 - If Busy, Call Gary 2-3865 Are You Satisfied With Mayor's Appointments? MAYOR R. O. Johnson has been in office for nearly two months. But in this time he has given only police and janitor jobs to colored people. Despite the fact that he was elected solely thru the colored voters, he has given them the least recognition of any racial group in the city. For one of the places on the safety board, he selected, a Pole. For another place on the board of works, he selected another foreigner. Not a single white collar job has he given to a colored man, although without their vote he would not be holding the job of mayor himself.

MISSING BUILDER THOUGHT DEAD AS PROBE IS STARTED Minister and Eight Others Are Released After Questioning By Gary Detectives With the arrest of nine persons including a prominent colored preacher and three women, the investigation to find out what became of Lawrence Bowdry, missing contractor in the war of two factions in Mt. Zion Baptist church, was re-opened by Gary police Saturday night. Arrested as suspects and held for questioning concerning the disappearance of Bowdry, the Rev. Albert T. Allen, 2456 Connecticut street, and eight other members of his church, told police that they knew nothing about the whereabouts of Bowdry. They gave no information which police could use as a basis for holding them, and after spending Saturday night in jail, were released by Captain of Detectives Pat Roche. The eight persons arrested with the Rev. Allen and held for questioning by police were: Warran Davis, 2477 Connecticut; Emma Cuyler, 2520 Connecticut; Elinor Moor, 2520 Connecticut; James Peterson, 2553 Massachusetts; Alfred Sturgis, 2557 Massachusetts; Brown Jones, 2080 Washington; Charles Brooks, 2415 Broadway, and Clara Pitts, 2488 Adams street.

Speaking on the subject of "Creative Thinking," Dr Randall stated that "The idea so prevalent in our country is that one race is superior over all others. This has no more bearing than the old legends of the ages. It is a myth, a baseless legend. Leading anthropologists have said, "What we have in every race — white, black, or brown, is superior and inferior individuals, but the words supreme and inferior do not apply to races at all." Dr. Randall continued, "The conclusion of scientists in the field of anthropology is that all races are equal. Men of all races possess similar qualities, and, giving all men an equal opportunity, and an equal time for development, all will show individuals who are superior. "It is too late in the day," stated Dr. Randall, for scientific nations to take any attitude but that we are all essentially equal and underlying it, there is this essential unity binding us together.

SENDS YOUTH TO GET CHANGE; BOY FAILS TO RETURN Grocer Loses Cash as Well as Confidence When Hired Man Disappears Efforts of a white grocery store owner to give colored people "a break" by employing them in his store proved discouraging Wednesday to M. H. Geokas, owner of a grocery store at 2501 Adams street. Geokas employed a colored man, Jessie Mackey, 2408 Pierce street, as clerk in his store a few weeks ago. Wednesday, he gave Mackey $150, and told him to go to the bank and get the money changed. Mackey failed to return with the change, nor did he bring back a Dodge delivery truck he went away in. After waiting several hours for him to come back, Geokas notified police. They found the delivery van abandoned at the outskirts of town, near Twenty-first avenue and Clark road. No trace of Mackey, however, could be obtained. According to Geokas, Mackey came to Gary from Saginaw, Mich. His work at the store had been very satisfactory, Geokas said, up to the time he disappeared with the money.

Mayor Asked To Put Colored Citizen On One Of Two Boards Johnson Petitioned to Give More Recognition in Return For Group Vote Over Hundred Sign Document to Be Presented "R.O." On His Return Here (See Picture on page 2) Moved to take action by the publication of several letters in THE GARY AMERICAN, in which much disappointment over Mayor Johnson's appointments had been expressed, twelve prominent colored citizens of Gary met at the home of Dr. David T. Cardwell, Tuesday night, and signed a petition calling upon the mayor to give more recognition to members of the colored race, in return for their electing him to office mainly thru their votes in the municipal election last November. "The mayor has given us only janitor and police jobs in return for our loyal support of him, when all others were against him, and would have kept him from getting the job of mayor himself had it not been for our votes," they said. Declaring that "R.O" has given us the least recognition he has given any other group in the city, signers of the petition unanimously agreed to circulate the document generally, so that every voter may have an opportunity to sign it before formally presenting it to Johnson upon his return from Florida where he has been taking a brief rest. The meeting was called by De Cardwell, member of the city board of health, and Johnson's campaign manager on the South Side during the last election. In stating the purpose of the meeting, Cardwell declared that he had been actuated to call the meeting following the publication in The American of a group of letters in which the mayor's meagre recognition of the colored voters had been criticized. Cardwell declared that he had waited for someone to call a meeting and answer some of the letters published in The American, but after he saw no one taking action, he thought it fitting for him to call a meeting himself and find out the attitude of the voters toward the mayor's appointments. Cardwell, who was Johnson's right hand man in both the primary and November elections, admitted that had it not been for the vote given the mayor by residents of the third, fourth and fifth wards the office would have been lost to Johnson. He, too, expressed disappointment over the fact that Johnson, out of the number of appointments he had to make, did not select a single colored man for a place in his administration above that of a janitor or policeman. Organizations Asleep Cardwell declared that he believed that if the matter could be properly brought to the mayor's attention, some action might be taken. "The trouble is, that we have not asked for anything more than janitor or police jobs," Cardwell said. When he had finished addressing the gathering, Flemming H. Burrell, another ardent supporter of the mayor in the last elections, arose and declared: "Mayor Johnson must take it into consideration that if it were not for the support of the Negro voters he would not have a job himself," Burrell said in pointing out that in every ward in the city, except the third, fourth and fifth wards, the mayor received only a minority of the votes cast, and would have been defeated for the office by a coalition of republicans on the North Side and Glen Park who combined their forces with (Continued on Page 2) HOME EDITION PRICE THREE CENTS ITION asked To Put Citizen On f Two Boards Here Is The Full Text Of Petition To R.O.

Johnson when he returns from Florida is here presented in full by The Gary American: February 25, 1930. To the Hon. Mayor, City of Gary, Ind WHEREAS the American Negro has always been loyal to the Republican party, and has demonstrated that he can at all times be depended upon to support the platform of the party. WHEREAS the colored people of Gary constitute more than one-fifth of the city's population and play a large part in the city's civic, political and industrial life WHEREAS the percentage of colored people in Gary who are tax payers and property owners is comparable to that of any other racial group. WHEREAS, in the primary election last year the present Mayor R O. Johnson received the solid support of the Negro masses, and was nominated by the overwhelming majority. WHEREAS, the tremendous vote given the present mayor by the colored people of Gary made it possible for him to secure the nomination of his party. WHEREAS, the successful candidacy of the present mayor as a candidate for the office of mayor was threatened by Democratic opposition shortly before the final election. AND WHEREAS if it had not been for the loyal and continued support of the colored people of Gary the present mayor's hopes for election would have been destroyed. AND WHEREAS, it was the united support of the colored people of Gary which enabled him to win the election by a comfortable majority. WHEREAS, since the election of the present mayor, R. O. Johnson, he has not seen fit to give recognition to the Negroes of Gary other than in parcelling out a few janitor and police jobs. AND WHEREAS, it is generally felt that these appointments are inadequate and do not repsent the full recognition the colored people of Gary should have. BE IT RESOLVED that the Citizens of Gary whose names are attached to this resolution, present to the present mayor of Gary the following demands: for political recognition and preferament for members of our group. 1. A Negro for the first vacancy on the safety board. 2. A Negro police desk sergeant. 3. One Negro alley inspector. 4. One Negro assistant street commissioner. 5. That police be instructed to send emergency cases urising in the central district to St. Antonio and St. John hospitals where Negro physicians exclusively practice medicine and surgery. 6. That Negro undertakers, with equipped ambulances, be given an equal break in ambulance service coming under the police with discrimination toward none.

Burrell said, "and have supported him in every election in which he has been a candidate. I have never asked him for a single thing. There isn't a job he can offer me on the police department that I would have. But I am keenly disappointed over his failure to appoint a colored man as a member of the board of safety or the board of works. Why even Emmer White, his democratic opponent, would have at least given a member of our group a place on one of the two boards." Following Furrell, others attending the meeting spoke. They expressed the same view as the preceding speaker. Then they drew up a resolution, asking that the mayor not only show impartiality in governing the police department, but that, first, and above all things, that he Appoint a colored man in the first vacancy that may occur on the board of public safety. Other recommendations included: 1.—A Negro police desk sergeant. 2.—A Negro alley inspector. 3.—A Negro assistant street commissioner. 4. That police be instructed to send emergency cases arising in the central district to St. Antonio and St. John hospitals where Negro physician exclusively practice medicine and surgery. And finally that Negro undertakers, with equipped ambulances, be given an equal break in ambulance service coming under the police, with discrimination toward none. The petition will be circulated and anyone may sign it at The Gary American office where it has been placed for more males. The original signers of the petition were: Dr. R. M.

Bowdry was employed by a faction of members to build another church to compete with the other faction of members. Shortly afterwards, he disappeared. At first it was believed that he had left town. But days and nights passed and he did not return. A kidnapping theory was then advanced, but with Bowdry's continued absence and the fact that no one knows of his whereabout, police are now convinced that he has been killed. Although police are not inclined to believe that the manner in which Bowdry probably met his death was in the form of being "taken for a ride" and shot and killed and then his body concealed by his assassins, they declare that there is no doubt but that he is dead.

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. The Booster Always In The Lead The Booster Always In The Lead A town has no place for the knocker; a knocker is hardly a man without a country, but his country, his town, or his community has little use for him. There are all kinds of knockers—as many as there are kinds of people. The thriving city is filled with boosters—boosters who so outnumber the knockers that their knocking does not count for much. We like the boosters. Sometimes they are super enthusiastic, or rather, over-enthusiastic is the better word. But they are always enthusiastic for their home town or the cause in which they are interested, and they are never to be found hanging around somewhere knocking this and knocking that. No, a booster is not built that way. We must have these boosters; they are just as necessary to the successful enterprise as daylight is to the earth. Knockers are found everywhere just the same as the boosters, but, let us all be thankful for it, the boosters are always far away in the lead; usually, the knockers can be found in the rear, where it is safer for them, perhaps. They flock together, but even then they fail to make a crowd, as a rule. But the greatest booster is he who converts the knocker into a booster—"makes him see the light"—so that both play the game as team-mates ever after. A town has no place for the knocker—it matters not whether he knocks the town, its enterprises or its citizens. Show us a man who knocks his fellow-citizens and we will show you the poorest excuse for a citizen extant. We Need The Average Person The world's work is carried on by average folks. Occasionally we have a Burns, a Shakespeare, a Caesar, or a Napoleon, but they are rare. The output of humanity is, on the whole, only fair; fair sermons, fair poems, fair manufactured products, fair crops raised, fair business and professional accomplishments. This is because most people are not willing to put forth the utmost effort. They are content with the average. Not "somewhat better," but "that will suffice." Instead of most of us giving all we can of self, we try to figure out what the smallest amount is that will answer. The average in people is seen in two things—inheritance and attainments. Some people are blessed with about 100 per cent. Others are blessed with about 50 per cent of what we like to call "genius," and their attainments are about in that ratio. Now the trouble with our world is that most of its people are in the third class, when they could just as well be in the second class mentioned. A medicore kind of work is being accomplished, when it should be first class. The reason for this is that those of limited endowments, claim exemption from responsibility. That principle is not only wrong, but it is perilous. The person most highly blessed is not he with many endowments, but it is he who uses what he does have. The first may be spectacular, but the latter is far more useful. An average person who fixes his eye on an average standard will do average work—which is far below the standard that should be maintained. About 90 per cent of the world's woe is attributable to second-rate methods in the hands of one whose creed is, "I'm as good as the average." He is right, and that is the reason he is not farther along in the world. The average person is needed for the reason that there are precious few of those above the average. But the second need is the greater. The Dark Knight By William Smith A Serial of Romance—Daring Intrigue You Can't Afford to Miss It!

On Sunday he goes to the First Presbyterian Church. "I am just an ordinary and very insignificant layman," he says. And then, as you will see, in the current issue of the New Christian Herald, he goes on to write a most extraordinary article; an article that reveals the heart-hunger of the man in the pew for a vital, life-changing religion.

Dearborn St., Chicago, Advertising Representatives ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 1, 1930 and Pictures in the Illustrated Feature Section were posed, BEN DAVIS, Jr., Feature Editor The above pictures show Farina and "Our Gang" busily and happily engaged in the talkie racket. He and the rest of the gang have a grand time laughing and making other people laugh. In the picture on the right, he is shown in a characteristic pose, with the dog, Pete, which you have probably already seen, playing with the gang. Farina had a good start in movies, long before the recent invasion of Hollywood, by several prominent Negro actors. He began with "Sunshine Sammy" and though he is eight years old, may be considered an "old timer." .Farina has a little sister who is also employed at the same studios with him.

THE house was a medium-sized stucco of vivid yellow, surrounded by giant bushes of Australian holly whose green formed a pleasing contrast to the color of the house. A velvet green lawn spread out on all sides of the bungalow and upon it two children played. The boy was little Farina, of Hal Roach's "Our Gang." The girl was his sister, who is sometimes employed at the same studio. They were dressed simply in little blue coverall play-suits. Both spoke a shy friendly greeting as I came up the walk and then scampered around to the back door and entered the house, for when the door opened to admit me there they were smiling confidentially at me from behind their mother. Farina's mother is a small brown woman. The Hoskins family comes from Boston and they still talk with an unmistakable Eastern accent, that is, all except Farina, for living all his life in California his speech is that of a native. His words are correct and properly placed but they lack that overdone properness that is found in his mother's speech. To all the world the little eight-year-old star is Farina, but to his mother he is "Sonny Boy." "When Allen, which by the way is Farina's real name, was a little tot, he had the sweetest disposition of any child I had ever seen, or at least," she smiled, "I thought so. He would play for hours and he was always smiling. He brought so much joy and sunshine into our home that we could think of no name so appropriate as Sonny Boy for him. And Sonny Boy he has always been to us." I learned from the mother that the name "Farina" had been given to him by a title writer from the studios. The name, because it had a feminine ending, is partly responsible for the widely circulated story that Farina is a girl. I say partly responsible, for other factors just as potent helped the rumor along. Farina's debut into movie-land is really stranger than fiction. When Farina was just a baby, Sunshine Sammy was at the zenith of his film career. Mr. Morrison, Sammy's father, had been sent out by the studio to find a little colored boy about eighteen months old, with long hair, to play sister to Sammy in a picture. Mr. Morrison hunted all day and was just about to give up the search when he remembered that he had to stop by the grocers for some provisions for dinner. The good-natured groceryman noted Mr. Morrison's dejected look and asked what the trouble was. Mr. Morrison told him of his unrewarded search for a colored boy with long hair. "Why I know just the little fellow you want," the groceryman informed him. While he was yet speaking, the door opened and in walked Mama Hoskins and her little Sonny Boy. Now, at home, there had been many an argument about cutting Sonny Boy's hair. Papa Hoskins argued that long hair made him look like a girl; Mama Hoskins said that he looked too cute to have his hair cut. So, much to the dismay of Papa Hoskins. --- Here is an intimate story of one of the highest-salaried youngsters in the country. Many people have thought Farina was a girl—as the story beginning on this page discloses—however Farina is a boy, and a real "rough" one at that. He likes to play and romp, and still thinks in terms of scooters and tricycles. He is in every way a modest youngster, entirely undisturbed by his fame and the fat salary that very few adults earn. Sonny Boy's hair grew and grew, and today it is still growing, for the public will not have Farina without his hair. Since Farina was eighteen months old, he has been in pictures, sometimes in dresses, sometimes in trousers. To one half the world he is a girl, to the other half, a boy. But his mother told me in strictest confidence that he is a boy, and we usually suppose that at least the mother should know. The last and most convincing reason why Farina is often thought to be a girl was brought out when "Our Gang" made an eastern tour. Many an enterprising parent has passed a fake Farina off on an unsuspecting public. As the Gang went from town to town, Mrs. Hoskins was surprised to hear on all sides, "Oh, I saw Farina when he was here last year." "But my son has never been East before," she would remonstrate. At another city a lady seated near her said: "You would never think that Farina was a girl would you?" as Farina appeared on the stage. "But he isn't. Farina is a boy," Mama Hoskins informed her. "I beg to differ from you," the lady answered politely, "but two years ago when Farina and her mother were here, they stopped with me and I KNOW that she is a girl." "But I am Farina's mother." "The lady looked at me rather hard and I know she thought that I was not telling the truth, though she was too polite to say so. So the facts that Farina made his screen debut playing little girl parts, coupled with little girls going about the country making personal appearances, gave the public good reason to think of him as such." I now turned my attention to the juvenile star who had sat quietly by his mother during our conversation. "Did you have a fine time on your tour, Farina?" I asked to break the ice. "Did I? I should say I did." He found me an appreciative listener so he continued: "We went everywhere. We met lots of mayors from different towns, we went to all the big parks, we went on a big yacht and we even went up in an airplane." "My, but that must have been exciting." "It was," he agreed. We had become fast friends by this time. Farina had left his mother and was now standing beside me. "Isn't it lots of fun to work in pictures?" "Well, it used to be," he said soberly, "but we're making talkies now and you have to be so quiet. We used to play on the set when we didn't have to work, but now (Continued on page two) ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 1. 1930 At Home with Farina of Our Gang Fame How To Be Beautiful By GERALDINE FOX Authority on Beauty Culture 2 you can't make a sound 'nause whatever you say comes out and it'll ruin the picture." I didn't know how technically correct Farina's explanation was but I did know that he understood perfectly that absolute quiet was necessary in filming sound pictures. Of all the pictures Farina has made he likes "Dog Heaven" best. "I like all kinds of animals but I like dogs best. don't you?" "Yes, Farina," I answered, "next to people and flowers I like dogs best. Have you a dog?" "No," he admitted. He looked rather disappointed then brightened up and said. "but I have a pet guinea pig." "What is his name?" I asked. "Oh, he hasn't any." Then a burst of imagination seized Farina. "I know; let's call him 'Nameless.' Yes that's a good name, Nameless. You know I wish I could keep Pete with me."

"Oh, Pete is the dog that plays with us in the pictures." Farina had forsaken Nameless and gone back to his first love. Farina is one of the most natural children I know. He has not been spoiled by overfond parents. He is not impressed with his importance in the Hoskins home. He is just a normal eight-year-old boy. He is always neatly dressed but never overdressed. I turned from him and addressed his mother. Farina had no wish to listen longer to older people's conversation so he politely interrupted our conversation and asked whether he and his sister might go out of doors to play. "I'm glad I met you," he smiled and held out his hand. "I guess sister and I will skip along" As I was leaving the Hoskins home the two waved as they bid me goodbye. "Come back again sometime." Farina invited. As I walked down the street, I remembered Harold Lloyd's comment upon Farina. He says: "Farina is not only one of our smallest, but one of our most natural motion picture actors." AIR-IMPORTANT TO HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Very few of my readers, I am sure, have a real idea of just how important air is to the general health of the body. Pure air is just as important as pure foods. Without pure air you cannot be healthy and the more pure air you get the more chance you have to build up a healthy condition. This is true because pure air feeds the body just as vegetables that are fresh or meat that is clean gives another kind of food to the human system. It is a startling fact that very few homes are sufficiently ventilated. You can go into hundreds of them and find all of the windows down, especially in the winter time. Some of them are tacked down, and I have been in many a home where the least possible chance of getting air through cracks around the window had been overcome by pasting paper over those cracks. Such a thing of course, quite naturally made the house almost entirely air-proof, and though the occupants had not the slightest idea it was the case, they were giving themselves the shortest possible road to sickness. In fact, they were going out and asking old man sickness to come right in and live with them, and were making the road just as easy as possible for him. In such homes you will find pneumonia, scarlet fever, measles and almost every other disease and those tightly pasted windows are in nine cases out of ten the direct explanation. They shut out the curative air that would have given the occupants of that nome a chance to fight off disease as it started. One or two of my readers have asked me about the benefits or the danger of night air and there is only one thing to say here. Night air is just the same as day air. It is made up of exactly the same things and though in some climates it is damper or may be colder than the day air, this is the only difference. It is not dangerous, and it is just as essential as the day air can be. It is impure air that is dangerous. Air that comes off of swamps, air that comes from around factories where there are dangerous On Page 11 A TRUE STORY Taken from REAL LIFE SOMETHING YOU DO NOT KNOW Do you think it is woman who devours most of the candy that comes into the home?

There is nothing superficial in the Hoskins home and Farina does not think of himself as a great little actor, he still thinks in terms of scooters and tricycles and he is never happier than when playing with his sister, who is known to the movie world as, little Mango e Beautiful acids or poisons working through the atmosphere. In such places the air is not pure but that is what is dangerous. It isn't the night air. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Geraldine Fox has answered hundreds of letters on health and beauty.

CLOISTERED WAYS "For an answer he crushed her in his arms and kissed her again and again . . . passionate, lingering kisses." PART II (Continued from Last Week) The next day was Thursday, the night of the full moon, and a cloudless sky, promised a glorious evening. Edna, up slightly earlier than usual, opened the window of her little kitchen and looked toward Henderson. Far away, faintly, a column of black smoke rose from the stack of its cotton mill. The fresh morning breeze tingled her blood as she hungrily filled her lungs with long deep draughts. Today was Thanksgiving, but she wondered, as she watched the last of the ambering leaves drift featherlike before the breeze; if she would be thankful for the events of the day when it had passed. Ralph Bauknight and his sister were coming over from Henderson today for dinner, David had asked them himself, but she had a strangely clear premonition that something would go wrong. Ralph and David had been very good friends in college, but they had been at the same time, rivals for her affections. David had won, but Ralph had never ceased to care, which fact stood preeminently out among those which forecasted evil. David had won because she had loved him, because in his then, picturesque personality, she had seemed to realize the fulfillment of a dream. When he had turned to Theology, she had thought it would make little or no difference; could he not still be her lovable David, her enshrined idol, even if he were a preacher? She felt a wave of contending, conflicting emotions, as she closed the window and turned to her task of preparing breakfast. With all her heart, she wished it would rain. She longed to be allowed to spend the day alone with David; longed to understand him and his ideas of life. But morning soon gave way to midday, and afternoon cam- on, hazy and blue and chilly. Ralph and his sister, Marion, came, and Edna thought she felt something sink within her, as he held her hand at the door. And his sister, Marion, what a smartly dressed chap! 'Tho' she would not, most probably have admitted it, Edna began anew to envy the freeness with which they played the game of life; the masterful, authoritative and seemingly accustomed mien, which characterized their every action. They were good friends, the Johnsons and Bauknights, and Edna had been as one of the latter family, before her marriage, but as they sat at dinner today, it seemed to Fdna that they lived in different worlds. The gay dinners, and glorious dances of which Ralph talked so freely, seemed bits of fiction to her now. Why, oh why had David invited them, she asked herself; why had he brought these beings from the world in which she longed to be once more, to tempt her? Once while Marion lead the conversation, she had a chance to compare the two men: David, her love, her husband—and again she assured herself that she did love David—with his rather quiet, satisfied, controlled expression; well, but reservedly dressed, and yes, handsome, for David was handsome, handsomeness accentuated by the even tone of his winning personality; and Ralph, egotistic, confident Ralph, dressed to the minute, well groomed. As she compared them, hers was an anguish known only by those who have stood on the uncertain ground between love, as an admiration of an ideal, and the glamorous domain of the unconventional free- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 1.1930 A man kisses a woman in a robe.

What is this thing, love, anyway, she pondered, does it really exist as I think, or is it merely an illusion, a mirage, a will-o'-the-wisp? She had thought, and still believed that she loved David, and that he loved her but why was that love not strong and aggressive enough to make her feel secure and satisfied? Was it that David had really changed, or was it due entirely to the fact that he trod cloistered ways, ways not of her world? She felt somewhat faint, but the end of the dinner came opportunely to her rescue. They would move into the parlor now, she thought, and she would have a few moments alone while she removed the dishes; but not so, for she had scarcely warmed to her task, when David rushed into the dining room to announce his temporary absence, "The building committee has sent for me, Ed, dear," he told her, "an unexpected meeting, and Marion is going, to be kind enough to drive me over," he added as he pulled on his gloves. Alone with Ralph, just what she had tried to avoid! ! In a moment after David and Marion left he was standing in the doorway of the kitchen; he stepped toward her with his arms extended; "Edna—Edna," there was a pleading tone in his voice, "Edna,—I—you know I love you, I always—" "No, no, Ralph," she broke in, "you mustn't talk to me like that. I don't love you, I love David, I love David, Ralph, and I've told you that over and over again." He leaned against the door as if for support, "I know, I know," he went on, "you've made that plain enough, but I still love you and—" Again she cut in, for she knew only to well what he would have said: "Please Ralph, please," she pleaded, "please go on back into the parlor, please." For an answer he crushed her in his arms, and kissed her again and again, burning, passionate lingering kisses. Finally he held her at arm's length, his breast heaving, "You know Edna," he panted, "I'll never be content, nor will I allow you to be, until you let me teach you how to really live, life in its fullness,—every dreg." She was crying almost aloud now. "Will-you-go-now?" she sobbed, trying to regain her equanimity, "Will you please go"? "Yes, I'll go, Edna darling, but will you promise to come over to Henderson next week to the dance please Edna, just one night, David will be gone to the convention you know, you could stay with your mother, she wants you to have some pleasure like other girls your age, please Edna, come, you know you want to come back again and live, to the devil with conventions, and what people think, come back and live." "Oh, Ralph, I-I—" He did not wait for the rest of her answer, but stalked off to the parlor. It was not long before David and Marion returned, chatting friendly, and the afternoon resumed its cheerful trend for everyone but Edna, who somehow managed to present a smiling front. Soon they left, just as the first grim shadows of evening lengthened themselves on the leaf-carpeted lawn. The parsonage door closed and another night began. Sleep long evaded Edna, as it had done many times before; she kept hearing Ralph in his temperamental, confident tone, saying: to the devil The Story of a Minister's Wife Who Believed in a Single Standard with conventions and then David's calm, sober words: barbed and charged and bloody—so be careful. So the night, with its moonlit witcheries watched in silence, while God bathed the foliage of His footstool in cleansing dew, a nightly token of His lingering love, and the world slept. --- Ralph Bauknight parked his smart sedan in front of his office on one of Henderson's leading streets, and looked admiringly up at the triple windows on which his name was engraved. He smiled rather egotistically as his eyes caught sight of the gildo lettering: W. RALPH BAUKNIGHT - DENTAL SURGEON. He had wanted to be a dentist he was. He had wanted to be a popular society leader—he was. His folks had nicely seen to it that he had what he wanted—everything but Edna. "If I can only get her out of that darned parsonage once more," he told himself, as he climbed the stairs, "I'll be able to talk to her, as I've wanted to for some time—I wonder if she has nerve enough to come over tonight as I asked her?" His anxiety was short-lived, for as he entered, his maid called his attention to a blue envelope placed uprightly on his desk. He read: "Ralph, I am in Henderson, but I'd rather not go to the dance--you see Ralph, David doesn't like dancing, and he's sure to find out if I go. I certainly would like to go though." It was signed—Edna. So she was in Henderson, she HAD come, he almost shouted aloud as he tore up her note, she had come to him. What a flimsy excuse, he thought, her note, she knows she wants to go. So eight o'clock found him parking his sedan in front of the McMaster cottage on Oah avenue. The night was rather cold, and the wind blew slightly, but not a cloud marred the diademed glory of the skies. A light burned in the parlor, and as Ralph walked, light as air, along the white gravel walkway, he thought of the many times he had gone there, only to find David enjoying a "previous" engagement—but not so tonight. Mrs. McMaster answered his knock: "Hello, Mr. Bauknight, come right in, I was just telling Edna I thought you'd come." Edna came in from the adjoining room, and Ralph thought he had never seen her look so irresistibly beautiful. She wore a charming gown of chiffon-velvet, from which her shoulders rose superbly. "Hello Ralph," she said, as she moved gracefully to where he stood, "Didn't you get my note?" "Yes, Edna darling, but you know you want to go, you know you do, Why you've even dressed." She did not answer him, she knew she had lost. The last thread of resistance to the mysterious lure of life had snapped. She did not love Ralph, but she craved a few more days of life in his world, a world which David had forsaken. As she stepped, warmly wrapped, into the comfortable luxury of Ralph's heated sedan, she remembered again, David's cold words, "barbed and charged and bloody—so be careful." Maybe so, she thought, but tonight at least, she was going to see it from Ralph's angle—to the devil with conventions. The auditorium of the Elks' Rest was a thing of beauty this night; shaded red and blue lights mingled their softness with the multi-colored evening gowns to produce a seductively entrancing effect.

The Woman's Tonic 4 (Continued from Page Three) almost hid the four-piece college orchestra, which furnished the music. Like the snap of a band, long under strain, Edna swung into the spirit of the night, answered the call of life. Again and again, until the last waltz, she was surprised by her ease of movement after so long from the floor. So it was a decidedly different woman who rode along Oak Avenue, with Ralph Bauknight, long after midnight; a woman determined to leave the cloistered ways of convention's stronghold, to follow the lure of the glamorous. "Please, Edna," Bauknight pleaded, as they parked in front of her mother's home, "please just one kiss, as a perfect ending to the most wonderful night I have even known Edna darling, I'll always want you, can't you see--you were made for me and my world, instead of—" He kissed her passionately, once again, and despite her inclination to, she could not resist. When she finally freed herself from his stormy passion, and watched him ride away, the waning moon hung low in the misty west, and somewhere nearby, a restless sparrow, twittered of the dawning. Spring always returns early to Carolina, lest she miss one perfumed breath of the jonquils, one shy blush of the violets. So this late March day knew a comfortable warmth, beneath a serenely blue sky. Dr. Johnson sat in his office, in his spacious new parsonage, and looked out on Cedar Springs. He scarcely noticed the huge buildings, which studded the growing skyline; for the inevitable hand of industry, had metamorphosed Cedar Springs from a growing, hustling little town, into a prosperous, wealthy city, a textile and business center of the South. And if the hand of industry had been busy, so had the restless hand of time, busy weaving a tapestry from the fragile threads of some lives. Two letters lay open before him on the square oak desk, one beneath each hand. The first one is written on his own stationery, in a well trained, flowing hand. With aching heart he recalls his wandering gaze to look upon it for perhaps the ten thousandth time; for seven dreary years have passed since he first found it on his desk. It is only a note. His eyes follow the lines, but he does not read, for only too well does he know every word. He repeats them to himself: "Dear David: I guess you will call To gain the strength you need When ordinary duties leave you tired and worn out; when pleasure and recreation seem "flat" and dull; when mere trifles cause worry and depression—don't go on until you deplete what strength you have.

But please remember that I feel that I love you, but we just weren't meant for each other; believe me, when I say that no man is more dear.—Edna." The other is longer, but his eyes see only the last few words: "And if you will allow me, I will return" Edna. Here he was interrupted by the sound of a voice which he realized became each day, more and more essential to his life—Marie, Marie was bringing in the morning's mail: "Lots and lots of mail this morning. Doctor." "Yes?" he answered, "More work for you then." "And for you, too." As she left the room, with a few more kind words, he thought of her and of himself. Kind, thoughtful, understanding Marie; what would the years of Edna's absence have meant, had it not been for her! Truly enough she was only his secretary, but she was a perfect type of the office wife, always knowing what was needed most for his comfort, always seeking to lighten his burden. Sacrificing, and asking nothing in return, nothing save the rather meagre salary the church paid her as his secretary. But had she not unconsciously evoked a kind of reward? For sometime he wondered—"Oh yes, I love her," he unconsciously murmured, "love her dearly, God help me." Later that day, Marie Carroll, plainly dressed, sat at her desk in a well appointed room in the spacious, beautiful parsonage, answering the pastor's letters. She always took a kind of prideful pleasure in this part of her work, for she felt it a special honor to be in the pastor's confidence. She felt too, that if fate were kind, he would some day say the words she most wanted to hear, for she had long since ceased denying that she loved him, as she could and would, never love another. She pictured, for a moment, herself rightfully his, to do with as he chose, a counterpart of his illustrious personality, a coworker, a soother at evening of the day's merciless wounds—his wife. But the whimsical gods do not allow a picture perfect, therefore she remembered with a sickening reality, that the occupant of her shrine, had, somewhere in the world—a woman known as his wife. By the code of the conventional law—his wife. "Marie?" He had been watching her from the doorway, and as if he had known her thoughts. he said: St. Joseph's G.F.P.

Later as the afternoon waned, he stood on the front porch of the parsonage, admiring the gentle beauty of the violets,jonquils and early roses, as they perfumed the air. So much is human affection like them, he mused,—so very hard to understand. So the wanderer returned to her husband's cloistered ways, resignedly and broken in spirit.

In the path that he blazed, Stanley himself followed, as did Livingstone and many of the others. Starting from the island of Zanzibar, his birthplace, this Negro crossed Africa by way of Lake Tanganyika, up and across the vast stretch of what is now the Belgian Congo, and then went southward as far as Cape Colony, a journey of more than eight thousand miles. In this long journey which took him eleven years, he penetrated into territory on which civilised man had never set foot before, fighting his way through the primeval forest, and defeating king after king until he was master of a territory half the size of the United States. He was by far the greatest of those who dominated in East Central Africa just before the taking of this region by the white man. Europeans who came into Africa were forced to reckon with him, and King Leopold of Belgium was glad to come to terms with him. As to wealth, he was one of the richest men in the world of his time.

The reverse of the Caucasian dictum regarding ancestry holds true among the Arabs. His father was the son of an Arab merchant from Muscat; his mother and grandmother were both fullblooded Negro women. He was born in 1837. Tippoo's father was one of the many Arab merchants who penetrated into the East African interior to trade for ivory, gold, gum, cattle and slaves. These last fetched a high price in the markets further north, even as they do now. At that time the enormous wealth of the African interior was almost untouched.

WATSON Tippoo Tib, the Ingenious Negro Trail Blazer By J. A. ROGERS hollowed out by himself and his men from the trees of the primeval forest. He continued into the interior until he came to the territory of Fundikara, king of Tabora. The latter, a friend of his father, he learnt, had died, and the throne had been seized by another, named Temba. Temba, on meeting Tippoo Tib, planned to provoke a quarrel with him, kill him, and take away his goods. But the laws of hospitality demanded that no business should be discussed until the third day after a trader's arrival. In the interim, Tippoo learnt of the plot, and siding with the followers of Mnyma, the rightful heir, attacked Temba and killed him. Alter this adventure he returned to the coast richly laden with ivory, gold, cattle, and slaves. His appetite now sharpened, Tippoo Tib soon after started on a second expedition, taking with him this time goods valued at $40,000. He had left behind twenty creditors. Getting creditors was no easy matter for traders had been known to remain in the interior, preferring a life of luxury there. But all did not go well on this trip. Tippoo Tib wandered into territory ravaged by famine, but he turned it to advantage by getting bearers cheaply. Again, many of his porters ran off with his goods, but Tippoo promptly made prisoners of their whole tribe until his property was returned. Continuing his journey, he came into the territory of Nsama, a powerful and blood-thirsty king, who had conquered all his neighbors and annexed their lands. Tales of this man's cruelty and power had turned back all but a few of the traders, but the fearless Tippoo Tib pushed on. Nsama received him with a great show of hospitality and led him into a large hut where he showed him a great quantity of gold and ivory. But it was an ambush. Three arrows struck Tippoo Tib in the shoulder but he managed to fight his way out, and rallying his men, he attacked painful stiff joints?

After four days of fighting, Tippoo was victorious, and seizing Nsama's kingdom and all his wealth he made himself ruler. Nsama had been regarded as invincible, and the victory gave Tippoo immense prestige in the interior. Many were now eager to court his favor. Not long after he gave up his kingdom and returned to Zanzibar where he was regarded as a great figure. The Sultan entertained him in his palace. Tippoo was rich. He was then only twenty. But like most adventurers money passed through his hands as water. Good-natured and generous he gave it away freely, and like a moth drawn by a candle back to the forests he went. This time he took with him goods valued at $80,000, a great sum in those days. The Sultan himself, had offered to back him. So great was the confidence in him that among his creditors was a rich man, named Taria, who had never been known to lend money on such uncertain conditions before. As Tippoo Tib, himself, says in his autobiography: "At that time I had not a plantation nor a house in Zanzibar, or anywhere else in the world." On this expedition he also met with some adversity. Many of his bearers died from disease and he was forced to bury a large part of his goods. Coming into the territory of King Mshama, he was also attacked by the latter, but again Tippoo Tib was victorious. His next adventure was in the kingdom of Ugalia, ruled by Taka. Several of his men were killed by his side, but after eight days of fighting he defeated Taka, and seized all his wealth. His next big encounter was with Lunda, king of Kasembe. Lunda had 20,000 warriors, some of whom were armed with rifles, that had been got from the Portuguese. Tippoo, with his force of Arabs, half-caste Arabs, civilised Negroes, and a few white men, armed with rifles, defeated Lunda. Setting up another king in his place, Tippoo Tib continued his journey along the Mweru river until he reached the capital of King Mpueto, where the Congo issues into the lake under the name of the Luapala. Mpueto, hearing of the coming of the invincible stranger, sent him tribute. Turning southward now Tippoo Tib continued until he came to the country around Lake Kassala, in the southern part of what is now known as the Belgian Congo. Two kings, Mrongo Tambwe and Mrongo Kassembe were fighting for supremacy. The crafty Tippoo played one against the other and ended by being master.

Of the kingdom of the Shensis, he easily became master. Trading was peculiarly advantageous for him in this region as the natives did not know the value of ivory. They would eat the elephant and throw away the tusk. For a string of beads Tippoo would get tusks valued at $50. And so he went on continuously for nine years more, penetrating into virgin territory, until he had become the uncrowned king of a vast territory, a part of which is now the Belgian Congo. The area of the latter alone is 919,839 square miles. The European powers who came into Africa had to reckon with him. Tippoo Tib had neither press nor telegraph to aid him in the rule of his territory, only runners on foot. He ruled by power of his name. His word was law, and the most powerful chief took care not to offend him. Stanley, Livingstone, Speke, Cameron, Gleerup and all the great explorers were indebted to him, and but for his aid might have had to turn back. On page 31 of his own autobiography Stanley says: "Unless Tippoo Tib accepts my offer, the expedition will be broken up." Later Stanley accused him of trickery. He says that Tippoo Tib's failure to live up to his contract caused the death of Major Barttelot. The black monarch, he says, had promised him 600 bearers but had given him only 400 in order to hinder him. Still the blame of Barttelot's death must be placed on Stanley's desire to get a large quantity of ivory to the coast, a reason why he needed so many men. Stanley had come originally for the relief of Emin Pasha. Difficulties With Stanley Besides, if Tippoo Tib did not play fair with Stanley, Stanley did not play fair with him. Stanley was in the employ of King Leopold of Belgium, and both were eager to oust Tippoo Tib, after they had used him. Tippoo Tib strenuously denied retarding Stanley or any other white explorer. Alfred J. Swann, Resident Magistrate of Nyassaland, who had much dealings with Tippoo Tib says in his book, "Fighting the Slave Hunters," that when Tippoo Tib heard of Stanley's accusations, he said: "If I had wished to stop him I should not have played with the matter by sending 400 men instead of 600, as per contract. I should have killed him long ago. I do not simply hinder. I destroy. If I assist, it is at all costs. Who helped Cameron, Speke, Livingstone? Who sent Gleerup from the Congo to Sweden? Who saved your life and those of all your party? . . . "Without my help he (Stanley) could never have gone down the Congo, and no sooner did he reach Europe than he claimed all my territory. "Tell Europe Stanley lies, and tell them also, if they love justice, as you say, to compensate me for stealing my country." This was a famous dispute in its day. Tippoo Tib claimed that, "Stanley, in face of the difficulties of the march and the unwillingness of the carriers, lost his head completely and he himself made the proposal to di- (Continued to Page Ten) Negro progress is more noticeable today than ever before in the history of America.

In those days, he was busily engaged in creating the "blues," which today have given rise to the "Jazz Age." IN THE YEAR 1873 there were born in the town of Florence, Alabama, two men. One was Oscar DePriest, statesman, lawmaker. The other, William Christopher Handy, composer and musician. Taking their rise in that small town, the two life streams flowed in different channels. Both flowed North: the one to the Capitol at Washington, while New York's Great White Way—Broadway—received the other. Just after the Civil War, Handy's grandfather bought a homestead on the west side of Florence, which is known as "Handy's Hill." His grandfather also built the first Negro church in Florence. His father later became pastor. It was then that young Handy decided on music as a career. To the three R's, conventional in the early eighties, Prof. Wallace, the schoolmaster, added singing, believing William would make a good tenor, yet a greater politician. The father felt that the boy would never amount to much as a professional musician, for musicians then had to play "hoe-downs" and "corn songs." How was the minister to know that scholars would be very anxious one day to understand these despised songs? How was he to know that in every art on the face of the earth, only that is good, only that is great and immortal which has the smell of earth and flesh in it? But let's do Handy's father justice; he saw something in the boy, a power, a sense of leadership, a mind which held realty as in a closed fist, surely little Handy did some things that showed his father a short Bessie Smith and Jimmie Mordecai, in "The St. Louis Blues," a new talkie by W. C. Handy, who originated the blues. Clifford McGuinness Reviews the Life of W.C. Handy glimpse of the Handy of today. The minister thought music a waste of time. But the boy was stubborn. If it hadn't been for that boy's obstinacy, America would have had only another politician, as the teacher wished, or another bishop, as the father wished. Instead of being cowed by his father's disapproval, Handy stole the minister's jim-swinger for his stage debut, in a minstrel. They went on a grand tour, but in southern Alabama the manager suddenly vanished and, with him, the treasury. The quartette walked back to Florence, singing for their meals. When they sang, "Take Me Back Home, Let Me See It Once More," their real hunger feeling must have added a tremolo. Birmingham was a city. Bigger bands were there, and more schools to teach in. Handy, arriving there, found that what he could get as a teacher was even less than half of what he could get as a laborer in the pipe works at Bessemer, twelve miles outside. Naturally he became a laborer. Life itself, not academic study alone, taught him many work songs that, using him as a medium, were to achieve a great place in American music. However, the election of Grover Cleveland had a bad effect on labor. Less work and less pay prevailed. Back at Birmingham, Handy came across a quartette in a saloon. With twenty cents in his pockets, he took hold of these four older men, and started out for the World's Fair at Chicago, first announced for 1892. En route, they travelled by freight. At Cullman, a brakeman ordered them off. The quartette began to croon, someone strummed a guitar and Handy muted his cornet. The brakeman relented. Thereafter they rode in the caboose. Before the troubadours reached Chicago, the fair was postponed for a year. So they found themselves in St. Louis instead. Hard times. Hundreds slept on the cobblestones on the levee, Handy among them. He hoboed out of it, to Evansville, Indiana. There he did street-bricking at a dollar fifty a day. He played in the Hampton Band there until he met one, Taylor of Henderson, Kentucky. Taylor took him to Kentucky where he made twelve dollars for one day's work in the Henderson band. Those were golden days all around; his future wife was then a Henderson girl. Henderson, being on the Ohio river, was a steamboat landing and there he learned the levee songs of the roustabouts or stevedores quite an acquisition. The fourth of August, 1896, saw him in Chicago. The famous Mahara Minstrels wanted him. With them his technical ability came into something like full play. His band played everything from ballads to Beethoven. In Oakland, California, Handy, who, as his musical education progressed, neglected all other music for the sake of the academic and classical, gave a cornet solo, playing Hartman's "Mia." It was a technical feat, but the gallery hissed. The music was foreign. There is no national feeling for the music of composers long since dead, like Beethoven and Palestrina, because none of it was written by Americans. The next night, Handy tried something with a Dixie warmth to it, something not unfamiliar to the gallery. He played it with a sway of the shoulders and a tap of his foot magisterial sentiments of (Continued on page nine) W .C. Handy Still Triumphs in the Field of Popular Music.

Nurse Gives Remarkable Endorsement Tanlac may seem miraculous in its action to millions who ended stomach, liver and kidney troubles as well as rheumatism, pains in the back, sides, joints and muscles from its use—but the truth is every drop of Tanlac is a strong potent medicine while most other remedies are weak and ineffective. Mrs. B. Piecord, a nurse with many years' experience, is one who ought to know. She says, "In 10 years active nursing have found Tanlac without an equal as a remedy for stomach and liver troubles, and I can certainly promise people wonderful results in view of my long experience with this medicine. I had stomach troubles for years, could eat scarcely anything without suffering, never any appetite, always nervous and rundown. But as soon as I began Tanlac it started to build me right up. All stomach troubles were routed and never any pain, distress or gases since. Now I eat everything with perfect safety." Many "patent medicines" make glowing promises that may tempt you to buy them but remember Tanlac is a REAL, medicine that backs its claims with a guarantee. Do not accept a substitute.

Belgium Afraid to Fight At last Tippoo Tib decided on war, but Belgium called a conference, and a compromise was made by which Tippoo Tib was named Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Congo. Germany too, acknowledged his power in East Africa by naming an ally of his to be governor of that region. For secretary, Tippoo Tib had a white Belgian, Georges Steleman. Giving up slave-trading and doing his best to suppress it, Tippoo Tib ruled the Congo for several years. But the Arabs and many of the natives had opposed the coming of the white man. Finally they revolted under Raschid, a nephew of Tippoo Tib, and Rumeliza, his life-long friend. Tippoo Tib's sympathies were with the Africans, and rather than take part against them he gave up his post in 1890, and retired to Zanzibar to enjoy his immense wealth. He had no sooner left than there was a massacre of the white people. It took Belgium three years to defeat Raschid and Rumeliza. Tippoo Tib died at Zanzibar in 1905, aged 68. Here are what some of those who knew him well had to say about him: Stanley says: "He was a tall, black-bearded man of Negroid aspect in the prime of life, straight and quick in his movements, a picture of energy and strength. He had a fine intelligent face with a nervous twitching of the eyes and gleaming white, perfectly formed teeth. He was attended by a large retinue of young Arabs whom he had led thousands of miles through Africa. "After regarding him for a few minutes I came to the conclusion that this Arab was a remarkable man, the most remarkable man I had met among Arabs." Norden, "Fresh Tracks in the Belgian Congo": "Tippoo Tib, the son of an Arab half-breed and a full-blood Negro woman was in 1874, the most powerful figure in Central Africa. He had gone into the interior with an army of one hundred and had terrorised the blacks into crowning him king. Nyangwe was headquarters of his empire. So matters stood in Central Julia Jerome A young man from Los Angeles asks a question. "Dear Mrs. Jerome: "I have had several quarrels with my best girl lately, and they all started about the same argument. It is the quick method. Results come almost instantly. It is the approved method. You will never use another when you know.

Registered Trade Mark of the Charles H. Phillips Chemical Company and its predecessor, Charles H. Phillips, since 1875. Africa when Stanley was sent by the New York Herald to find Livingstone." Haardt and Debreuil: "The mulatto Tippoo Tib, was a powerful sovereign. This adventurer, who was immensely rich and possessed considerable influence over the blacks, was a strange figure. In his obscure and inaccessible soul he united generosity and astuteness; hypocrisy with frankness. Stanley as well as Cameron and Trivier, had to take him into account and to ask for his aid, which he granted. Thanks to this, they were able to succeed in their rash enterprises." C. Eliot, Consul-General at Zanzibar, who knew him well says: "His features were of the Negro type and produced at first impression that he was a low-caste hybrid but this impression was dispelled by his polite and dignified manner and his flow of speech." Alfred Swann, Resident Magistrate, says: "The first and by far the most important was the great Tippoo Tib. Although not of pure Arab descent he was the most influential. His activity was astonishing. He possessed a frank, manly character enlivened by humor and he loved to play practical jokes upon his intimate friends. In business there was no beating about the bush; it was always take it or leave it; and in warfare 'unconditional surrender' was the basis of his terms to all enemies who sued for peace. Was Notorious Slayer "His power was sung around most camp-fires from the East Coast to Stanley Pool on the Congo. His very name was sufficient to strike terror into the hearts of all who were liable to attack." Speaking of his death, Swann adds: "It would have perhaps, been putting into practice that justice which I never ceased to hold before him as our standard if, when he died, some of our great geographical societies in Europe had acknowledged how much they were indebted to Tippoo Tib for allowing explorers to travel where he was in power, collecting valuable (Continued on Page Ten) hen More than Men? which you need friendly advice? Write to Julia sh a personal reply, please send a stamped, My girl maintains that women are more constant than men and tries to prove it by saying there are more faithful wives than there are husbands. I maintain that women are the most faithless and I base it not upon hear-say and theory but experience. What is your opinion? TOM D." Well, Tom, you're both right. But the question needs a little untangling as we proceed. I have often heard this same question argued and it has always been my contention that loyalty in love depends upon the character of the individual rather than upon his or her sex, and that some men are faithful and some women are faithful, some men unfaithful and some women unfaithful. Now, I think that when the question is argued it is usually assumed that constancy is something either naturally inherent in the sex or innately alien to it. That is, that one sex is born faithful, the other unaffairful. It is true, as your girl says, that probably more wives are faithful than husbands. That is, technically faithful. The reason for this greater faithfulness is not greater spirituality, as it usually assumed, it is because a greater number of wives depend upon their husbands for a meal ticket and they have more to lose by an act of faithlessness. Not only has a woman more to lose but more to risk. The possibility of pregnancy often makes her think twice before jumping into an affair. Therefore women are given to playing around on the edge of an affair, and they give the impression of "easy pickings" more often than is true. They are being spiritually faithless while remaining technically faithful. That is why I say that you and your best girl are both right. There is (Continued on page nine) A. 120°, 240°.

A queer beat fused the crowd and Handy into a unit, a plant played on by the forces of the universe. After this, Handv almost symbolically returned to Alabama. If a composer, a creator of music, remain academic and classical, he becomes merely imitative. So when Handy returned to Alabama, all jejune imitation, stopped. He had realized what his people wanted, and as Wagner had said, Latin music for Latin throats, German music for German throats," Handy added, "Negro music for Nero throats." From 1900 to 1903 Handy was at A. and M. College, where he had charge of the band and vocal music. Often he would go around, striding through the cotton fields outside Huntsville, his ears drinking in the work songs and spirituals of the people he knew—songs that had sprung up without any apparent origin, like the poems attributed to Homer, epics of men like John Henry and Jim Crow. We next find him in Clarksdale, Mississippi, where he saw aesthetic value of another type of Negro song. "Beale Street, Beale Street!"—that was the next station on his jazz journey. Moving to Memphis, Tennessee, meant moving to Beale Street. Here he organized a band and orchestra employing fifty men. A man named Crump ran for Mayor. Handy wrote words and a tune. The words went— Mister Crump, don't 'low no easy riders here. Mister Crump don't 'low no easy riders here. I don't care what Mister Crump don't 'low, I'm gwine to bar'l-house anyhow— Mister Crump can go an' catch hisself some air!" The tune was that of the "Memphis Blues" which Handy published, but soon after, in despair, sold. The first real blues, it became an international hit, and still makes money or all but its author. He knew its commercial value but Memphis was not then a market for music, and sides would not at that time buy meet music from a local colored publisher. After the success of the "Memphis blues," which ushered in the present era of jazz, both races recognized his genius and lent encouragement. He then formed the Pace & Handy Music Company to publish subsequent blues in their original form as well as the ballads of Harry H. Pace. In Handy, we have the combination, weirdly successful, of artist and business man. In addition to managing this business, Handy wrote music. He writes words, music and orchestrations himself and in spare moments rehearses his band. In 1917 the Columbia Phonograph Company engaged Handy's band which made twelve records. In 1918 Pace & Handy moved to Broadway and Handy with his wife and five children moved to Harlem. In the post-war depression Pace dropped out. Pace next organized the Pace Phonograph Company and manufactured Black Swan Records, taking Win With Lucky Lure HAVE GOOD LUCK Don't worry about bad luck. Get everything you want and be happy.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 1. 1930 with him most of the Pace & Handy organization. Handy's business was almost wrecked. Many phonograph companies had failed after giving notes amounting to thousands which banks discounted. Handy, not only made these notes good, he in addition paid back heavy loans from four colored banks in the South. Music dealers and syndicate stores felt the same national depression. The five and ten cents stores indulged in a music war. Woolworth cut out more than six hundred music counters. As these counters handled the firm's publications, approximately a half million copies of music were left on Handy's hands, copies that could not be sold for junk, yet on which large printing bills were due. But the blues had an honest business man for father. He sold his beautiful home on 139th Street and paid off many of the debts. In attempting to do the work that had been done by a large organization, work in which no Sunday was his own and no hour of the night too late, his health was impaired as well as his sight. Two years he was kept inactive. But even in this period he continued to compose some of his most beautiful works—not all blues. Business was in a bad way. Life, too. At the end of those two miserable years Handy staged his grand comeback. Nobody knows how. He regained his health and his sight, took a band on the road, and returned with money sufficient to liquidate what debts remained. By paying, and paying, and straining every nerve, he was able singlehanded to lift this great burden from his business. In April, 1927, he and his band appeared in support of the world's most sensational composer direct from Paris, the young George Antheil, at Carnegie Hall, in a jazz symphony. When Handy, therefore, announced a concert of his own works and others with his own band of thirty and a large chorus at Carnegie Hall again, the audience numbered not only his old admirers, but new admirers, students of music; and among both groups were the elite of America and the sophisticates of Europe. The drama inherent in this man's struggle, its crown of success, has reached even the proverbially dense Hollywood magnates. They want to fashion a film about him. Well, let them. It can't hurt Handy. The man is bigger than his size. His head is normal. As a composer, blues are his life. When Handy writes a blues number, all of Handy goes into it. The words are his. Read "The Chicago Gouge." His many-sided experience casts lights and shades of meaning over the blues. Don't forget the sound, classical musicianship he has had. He doesn't fall into the musical pitfalls that mark lesser men's work. The tune, the rhythm, the orchestration-all are his and all are racial.

His is a great business ability, not only on the broad scale, but in minutest details as well. The man is full of energy though he must be somewhere in his fifties. He often smiles. He gets a kick out of life. It amuses him when the sharks of Broadway try to fleece him. While the race is justly proud of DePriest, sole Negro member of Congress, the race will likewise feel pride knowing that Handy enjoys the distinction of being the sole Negro member of the Music Publishers' Protective Association, the strongest organization of its kind in the world. Through his connection with another group, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, also his foreign representatives in Europe, South America and Australia, he is receiving valuable contracts out of radio and sound picture rights. The "St. Louis Blues," his masterpiece, has had more recordings than any other composition of any kind. Before the blues, there were three phonograph companies. With Handy and the new music, a dozen sprang into life. Jazz bands gave employment to thousands of Negroes. Thousands of Negro artists made recordings. He has edited an anthology, "Blues." in an exceedingly scholarly style. It is the most illuminating book on the subject of American music, with an introduction by Abbe Niles, published by A. & C.

But even these men were so inspired by what they heard in the truly racial and native American songs and dances that a new pigment found its way to their musical palettes—the blues. The white American composer, however, is more truly represented by his work in musical comedy as well as "popular" songs and dances than in those longer, more serious forms. These songs and dances are a decadent form of the original blues. Governed by the supposed requirements of ballrooms, picture palaces, and Broadway, they are played in the most refined saccharine style, with an empty precision in place of real rhythm and spontaneity, with also, sixteen bars instead of twelve.

I loved David, but we just didn't fit—and again she thought of Marie—what a girl she was, she had been so kind to her—simply because she loved David. Again she shifted her position, for more comfort, and began to re-live the years. Yes they had been filled to the brim with happiness, those first four and a half years; she wondered now, however, if it had been real happiness, or even any kind of happiness at all; anyway it had been what she had wanted. Ralph had followed her against her wishes, and they had sipped the cup together, down to what he had termed the dresses. Dances, dances, parties and more parties, cigarettes, dim lights, liquor—a full realization of her conception of life. And then—she covered her face with her hands, as she thought of Ralph—cold—lifeless, bleeding. All in a flash they came back to her. David's cold words—charged and barbed and bloody—so be careful. David's voice ended this painful remembrance: "Yo, ho, I'm back, and here's some ice cream for you. How do you feel?" "Pretty good, Davy—thanks." Some time elapsed and they went inside, only to have Edna begin again on her story of what life had been. "You might not know it, David," she began, "but Marie is in love with you, and it will be a sin if you don't always be kind to her—she's so worthy." But he would not allow her to talk more.

Any European adaptation, especially when interpreted by the conventional orchestra, departs from the definite form of the blues. The music of the white American composer, psychologically silent, is even further removed from its own original source, the blues. As the "Father of the Blues," Handy made those music laws now obeyed by the best composers of every race. He is a musical DePriest. Somehow it all reminds me of that young woman I met in Harlem. She was a medical student, and happened to belong to the intelligentsia of her race. She no doubt had great respect for spirituals, no greater than have I. She had heard they are a great philosophical, brooding music, an Aframerican invention of polyphony. Indeed they are. But—she did not like Blues. Blues were too ripe with the essentials of quick life and rich rhythms and the broad humanity of masses of people. In the world's music, Blues have an importance for their rhythm and the things their tunes say. Blues have a contemporaneousness, have all these fine qualities that those who are neither mature nor married and who spend their time in the cold elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of coughs from colds, bronchitis and minor forms of bronchial irritations, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu.

As it was, all I noted was the announcement of the death of 'the notorious slaver.'" "It is thanks to his support," says Le Grande Encyclopedia," that Cameron, in 1874, and Stanley in 1876, and Wissman in 1882, could cross Africa." As to his slave-activities, there can be no sympathy for them, yet it might be noted that he had been reared to regard the slave-trade as right. Benjamin Franklin and Thos. Jefferson, two signers of the Declaration of Independence, both dealt in slaves, the former as a broker, and the latter as seller of his own mulatto children. George Washington, too, owned slaves, and as one of his letters shows, he once gave a ship captain a Negro to be taken to the West Indies, to be exchanged for a cask of rum and other "good old spirits," thus breaking two laws of the present day. After Tippoo Tib had withdrawn from the Congo, the minions of Leopold, as is known, brought in a regime of real horror. Neither history nor romance contains a more stirring figure than that of Tippoo Tib, and when the true history of Eastern and Central Africa comes to be written he will be given credit as being the real pioneer, and not Stanley. Had Tippoo Tib foreseen he could have changed the whole political aspect of Africa also; for, as Dr. Heinrich Brode points out, if he had placed his conquests under the protection of the Sultan of Zanzibar, the European powers could not so easily have claimed them. proach. Edna sat partially up in her bed, supported by the strong arms of her husband: "Let me lay my head against you, David-I need you." He took her into his arms, and told her to go to sleep, and in a moment he felt her relax, as a tired child would upon its mother's breast; tired lids rested over tired eyes, a tired heart which never found real happiness relaxed, then rested—and soon, through the thickness of his shirt, he could feel the chill of her forehead.

"The St. Louis Blues," I replied: and added a bit as a pedant would, "by W. C. Handy." "Oh," she said disdainfully, "the blues man." "Yes," I assented, trying to find the words to describe to myself her tone. The Blues Man! As I see it, Handy and Richard Strauss share two things alike: The first is a straggly, grey moustache. The second is greatness. Dont Send 1 Penny 2 Dresses in our 2 Pair Rayon Hose $198 Postage Paid This Is A Wonderful wearing apparel bargain.

We used to go to school together. Lived on the same block. Name's Bob Phillips. He won't be a bit of trouble—you'll like him. Straight as a die, that chap." I got this information from my husband between mouthfuls one morning some weeks ago as we sat at the breakfast table. I didn't like the idea of taking in a roomer, but since the rent was so high and we really had the room to spare, there was no use being foolish. As it would take quite a financial load off Jack's shoulders, I made no objection. After all, one must do in Rome what the Romans do, and since most of the friends we had made in New York in the few months we'd been there also took an extra roomer, I thought it would be no harm, especially considering that Bob Phillips was an old friend of Jack's. For years my husband had been a Pullman Porter on the New York Central. We had lived for the first four years of our marriage in Albany. Then a new run had forced us to move to New York. Now, I don't like big cities; I prefer the wider spaces of the countryside, but a wife must stick to her husband. of my reserve. After two months in our home without any outward incidents, I began to trust Bob. I went to cabarets with him two or three times. Then July came and with its coming Bob purchased a very pretty blue roadster. I couldn't imagine where the man got the money because he seemed to have no means Bob Phillips came that afternoon. I had expected just some ordinary chap but this tall, brown, stately and handsome man, probably in his middle thirties greatly impressed me. He was smartly but not flashily dressed. He had deen, burning eyes, high forehead, a firm chin, a gliding tread and a strong handclasp. He struck me as being a little over-polite as he held my hand over-long and boomed the conventional greeting with a heavy voice. I put him down as a nice fellow despite a little touch of foreboding. "Well, well, well! This certainly is a rare treat, Jack," roared Bob at dinner that evening. "Never thought I'd ever see you again or put my feet under your table. By golly, old chap, it certainly is a treat. Certainly is. 'Member when we used to play ball down the block and break old Widow Smith's windows? Saaaay! didn't we have a peck o' fun when we were kids?" Jack agreed He was happy as a child and I was glad I had made no objection to Bob's coming. After all, the new roomer appeared to be a gentleman and one with plenty of money. It is good to have such friends. Next morning Jack left on his run to Chicago. "Don't steal. my wife, Bob," he called back jokingly as he went out of the apartment. Bob laughed good-naturedly. "That boy's a hot sketch," he exclaimed. I smiled weakly not liking such jesting. It was nice to have someone of culture and intellect to talk to while Jack was away. I learned from Bob in our many talks during the first week of his stav with us that he had traveled extensively in Europe and South America. He discussed learnedly and easily subjects of which I knew next to nothing. It was quite an education to be in his company. And yet I was glad when Jack would come off his run. I couldn't get over an uneasy feeling about being in the house with Bob. He appeared a perfect gentleman but he was altogether too perfect to be true. I seemed to detect a menacing note under his suavity; a dangerous fire, at times, in his searching eyes. After a whole month had passed, however, my uneasiness gradually dissipated. Still I wondered why Bob didn't work and yet managed to have money. "Say, Marie," asked Jack one night at the dinner table when Bob had stepped out to the corner for some cigarettes, "any time you want to go to any of these movies or dances and I'm not at home, you can go with Bob. No use sitting home for want of an escort. Bob is a regular fellow and the soul of discretion. I won't mind it at all. I'll be glad to have you do it. You're too young to be sitting at home like an old woman." I didn't like the idea too much. You see I was a little scared of Bob Phillips. I couldn't explain why and I didn't even let Jack know how I felt for fear he'd think me a fool. "I'd rather go out with you. my dear," I said, "but if there's anything I especially want to see while you're out of town, I'll have Mr. Phillips take me." Bob Philips took me to the Junior Society ball at the Renaissance Casino. It was a formal affair. We were both in evening clothes and I'll say we made a fine looking couple. Bob's clothes seemed to be moulded around his slender, muscular form. He danced divinely, except for holding me a little too closely, and gave me every attention. Women looked at me with envy. I couldn't help but feel the woman's natural pride. And yet I was careful not to be too natural with this man with the hypnotic eyes. I am so passionate and romantic, that I find it prudent to watch myself. We became more friendly after that. Bob would laugh and joke about his different sweethearts in various parts of the world. I unconsciously became impressed with his manliness and good fellowship. I dropped some ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 1. 1930 Days passed. Days of indiscreet romance. (A scene from "The St. Louis Blues") of my reserve. After two months in our home without any outward incidents, I began to trust Bob. I went to cabarets with him two or three times. Then July came and with its coming Bob purchased a very pretty blue roadster. I couldn't imagine where the man got the money because he seemed to have no means Days passed. Days of indiscreet romance. of support. And yet he paid his room rent and board regularly and was frequently inviting me to go out with him. The Fourth of July, Jack had to work. Bob invited me to drive out to the country with him. It was so uncomfortable hot in the city that I gladly acquiesced. By ten we were rolling over the smooth roads that led to cool glades and babbling brooks. I felt at peace with the world and utterly trustful as I rode along beside my husband's chum whom I also regarded as my best and safest gentleman friend. In a shady nook by a placid little pool we spread out our lunch. As a surprise Bob had brought along some real champagne in a box of ice in the back of the car. It was delicious with cold roast chicken and salad. I felt languorous, contented and happy when the royal repast was finished. In an exultant mood I exclaimed "Gee, Bob, I could keep on doing this!" I could have eaten the words a second afterward but it was too late. "You can if you want to," he declared simply. He looked at me with new intensity and I grew rigid under his gaze. He moved closer and took my hand. I was startled. I wanted to escape. "Oh, why did I come?" I cried to myself. He went no further. Soon we were on our way back. Bob never mention- ed the incident during the whole trip. I couldn't help but admire his restraint and yet I was disturbed by what he had said. I felt I should tell Jack, but I didn't. Good old Jack, so earnest, such a hard worker, such a hustler. He might not understand. He might misconstrue. I argued to myself that Bob had meant nothing out of the way. We went out driving again and again. I could not help liking Bob more as time went on. It was such a pleasure to be in his company; to listen to him talk; to dance with him; to sit in the theatre beside him. I began to think about how happy he would make some woman, and then, God help me! I began to think of myself as the woman. I tried desperately to fight back the horrid idea that I was in love with Bob Phillips. I refused for a time to go out anywhere with him, but there he was in the house, gazing at me hypnotically; smiling sardonically. I began going out daily to avoid him. He would invite me to go for a drive or to a show and when I refused he would express no regret and show no anger or disappointment. THE Finally I recovered from my panic and accepted his invitation to go driving one hot August afternoon He drove out to the same shady nook where we had picnicked before. The scene awoke memories. As we sat smoking and sipping champagne with our backs against a great oak tree, I felt again the hypnotic power of the man drawing me, drawing me, drawing me to him, with love pushing me along. I had stood the strain of resistance so long that my nerves were frayed. In a swift glance characteristic of him, Bob must have read my mind. His strong arm gently encircled my waist and drew me close to him and before I could remonstrate he was kissing me passionately. I was a whirl of conflicting emotions. My body tingled and chilled alternately. My loyalty to Jack, our home, our marriage forced me to attempt to get away from Bob's embrace but my infatuation for this handsome brown man weakened my efforts. "Oh, Bob," I cried, "please don't let us spoil our friendship. Save me, Bob from myself for Jack's sake. Oh, we mustn't." He held me closer and I felt his hot breath on my cheek. A thought that it was so cozy in his strong arms caused my face to blush with shame and guilt. I looked up to find his eyes gazing into mine. "You belong to me, Marie," he muttered, his voice hoarse with emotion. "I've loved you since I first laid eyes on you. I wanted to see if my love was returned. I can see in your eyes that it is . . . Come, go away with me, sweet. Just think how happy we shall be traveling about, seeing the fine places of the world. That's the life you were cut out for. Won't you come with me? Oh, Marie, I love you so. Answer me! Don't you love me?" I was overcome by emotion. I could only nod assent. Right that moment I would have gone anywhere with Bob Phillips. I had gone stark crazy over the man. I considered myself wonderingly. After what appeared to be years, I said, "We can't do it, Bob. We just can't do it. We can't double-cross Jack that way. He's too good, too kind. It wouldn't be fair." His lips curled. "So you still love him," he sneered. "I knew you weren't game. Do you think I can be turned away so easily? Well you've got another think coming. You're going with me, you understand." Then his voice broke again: "Oh, Marie, I love you so. All of these months I've tried to (A scene from "The St. Louis Blues") be loyal to Jack. I've kept my fingers off you when they itched to stroke your beautiful brown skin. Darling, please come with me." "Where?" I breathed. "Oh, anywhere," he replied. "I've got money enough for both of us to live oz. for the next ten years. Come on and ditch this fellow. He's only a Pullman porter and chances are he always will be. You don't belong with a fellow like that. He's just a poor sap who'll keep you in the washtub all of your days . . . You haven't any children, Marie, why do you hesitate?" He was earnest insistent, threatening, soothing, persuasive. He caressed me boldly and expertly. I was as putty in his hands. We came home happy and brighteyed. My loyalty to Jack now was seemingly negligible. I had forgotten everything in this strange fascination. Still, I hesitated. Something kept telling me to wait, to take my time. Bob kept urging me to go. Several days passed. Days of indiscreet romance. I enjoyed Bob's company more and more but somehow or other I couldn't puil myself from Jack. The longer I thought of it when I was alone, the more I began to feel that there was something fine in Jack's character that was absent in Bob's. Still, I had gone too far now to retrace my steps. My lover, my 11 True Story from Real Life husband's chum, kept pressing me to go off with him. If I were loyal to Jack I knew I would always be infatuated with Bob and sorry that I did not go with him, and if I went with Bob, I knew I would always be remorseful over my disloyalty to my husband. I agreed to leave on Labor Day. I had put it off as long as possible. Our position was no longer tenable. Bob was becoming irritable; I couldn't bear facing the unsuspecting Jack any longer. The night before Labor Day, Bob took me to the Paradox Club, a swell cabaret. We danced and drank and enjoyed ourselves until well past midnight. Bob spent money like water. I wondered where he got it all. He had always been tight-lipped on that subject. Sometimes I felt a little apprehension about it. One hears so many things in a big city like New York. At one o'clock as we rose to go, two stocky and determined white men pushed through the crowd to our table. One of them reached out to touch Bob on, the shoulder. "We want to talk to you, Kid," he announced in a steely voice. Quick as a shot, Bob's fist sped to the man's jaw and he dropped like a log. Bob dashed through the crowd, hatless to the street, the other man behind him waving aside the crowd with his revolver. It happened so quickly I could hardly believe my eye Almost fainting but suddenly energized by apprehension, I followed the crowd to the street. At the curb stood Bob Phillips in the grip of two brawny policemen, his collar torn, his face bleeding. The sight sickened me. I rushed to him blindly, thoughtlessly as he was being hustled into a taxicab. "Go home, Marie!" he commanded over his shoulder. "Don't you get mixed up in this." How I got home I don't know, but I did. Somehow or other I mechanically negotiated the two flights of stairs and reached home. For fear of scandal, I was afraid to telephone the police station. What had Bob done? Why were they arresting him? Would he get out of it? These thoughts rocketed through my brain as I lay across my bed. By morning I had drawn myself together. Jack came in excitedly at noon. "Who'd ever thought of Old Bob Phillips being mixed up in a big burglary?" he exploded. "And to think that we had him in our house! Nice chap but I thought there was something funny about him not working and yet living on 'easy street.' They say he's got about fifteen years coming to him, sure." I tried to display the proper interest without being suspiciously emotional. Yet inside I was sick and weak with it all, I had a feeling of thankfulness, however, that I had escaped. What MIGHT have happened appalled me. Suddenly it dawned upon me with a great burst of light what it meant to be married to an honest man making an honest living. I saw in a brief moment all of Jack's solid virtues. He was poor, yes, but he was giving me everything he could. He was loyal, which was more than Bob and I had been, and he had so much faith in my loyalty and discretion that had never for a moment suspected anything between his chum and me. Fool! that I had permitted myself to be blinded to his true worth. Jack seemed surprised when, weeping bitterly, I flung myself into his arms. That happened three months ago. Jack and I are living on as before. The back room is unrented because neither of us want any more roomers even if they ARE old friends. I have learned my lesson and am. the soul of discretion, and yet, there are times when I think of Bob Phillips up there in the big stone prison and I have a yearning to see him and to hear his voice once more; to sit once again in that nook in the woods beside the placid pool with his strong arm encircling my waist and his lips meeting mine. And yet I realize now more than ever that I could not be untrue to good, old Jack again. My! what a medley of conflicting emotions we women are sometimes. We are always between the horns of Love's dilemma. We can't get what we want: we don't want what we get. Often we don't know what we want. We're funny that way. --- THE FIVE MINUTE WAY TO HAIR BEAUTY It takes but five minutes by the clock to follow out the simple directions for applying Pluko to your hair. Think what that means to you!
