GAY PUBLIC LIBRARY 5TH AVE JEFFERSON VOLUME III. No.19 BRITISHER TELLS HOWARD STUDENTS SITUATION IN INDIA BRITISHER TELLS HOWARD STUDENTS SITUATION IN INDIA Conditions Among Natives Told To College Students; Hits Evils in Country WASHINGTON - C. F. Andrews, the British Missionary to India, and personal friend to Mahatma Gandhi and Tagore, addressed the students and faculty of Howard university today on the present situation in India. Mr. Andrews told of Gandhi's philosophy of passive resistance against suppression and the chief difficulty with which the Indian leader is now confronted, namely, to overcome a tendency of violence on the part of the government, and a violent reaction on the part of young India. He read a letter from Gandhi which showed the intimate personal relationship between the two men. Mr. Andrews is traveling through England and the United States on a goodwill tour, endeavoring to spread the truth concerning the situation in India, and to win friends for Gandhi's cause among both the English and American people. The speaker called attention to the need of a world conference on interracial relations, expressing the hope of thorough scientific investigation on the part of educational institutions and some definite action on the part of churches. The message of Mr. Andrews was received with intense interest as evidenced by the fact that standing room in Library Hall was at a premium. Following the address the speaker was guest of the university at a luncheon. British Paper To Capitalize 'N' In Word Negro London Publication Adopts the Policy Now Being Followed By N. Y. Times NEW YORK—The spread of the use of the capital N to designate the Negro race throughout the world is indicated in a clipping received from London by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, showing that the Christian World is the latest publication to adopt this style. The clipping from the Christian World contains a letter from Herbert D. Rugg, editorial secretary of the National Council of Congregational Churches in New York, who says in part: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the United States has long been energetically agitating for placing 'Negro' in the category of proper names, and its contentions have been endorsed by most of the religious papers in the northern states." In an editorial note following this letter, the editor of the Christian World writes: "In future Negro shall have its capital 'N' in our columns."

Abbott, editor and publisher, of the Chicago, Defender, will be the principal speaker, Monday evening, at the Riley School, Indiana Harbor. He will appear under the auspices of Club No. 10, of St. Luke A.M.E. Church, of which Rev. D. E. Butler is the pastor. Mr. Abbott made a very favorable impression in Gary, last week, when he spoke at the Noonday club, and his popularity seems to be on the increase with the people of Gary and vicinity. The hearty cooperation of various clubs and organizations promises to make his coming an outstanding event. "The Love Parade" Is Enthralling Although "The Love Parade" the talking screen's first original musical romance, coming to the Tivoli Theatre the week of March 28, is a costume production, it is as modern as tomorrow's newspaper, according to Ernst Lubitsch, who directed it. The story deals with the love of a queen for a prince, but she is a very modern queen and he is a very modern young man. The fact made the problem of costuming difficult. Maurice Chevelior is starred in "The Love Parade" which features a large cast of musical comedy and screen favorites including Jennette MacDonald, Lupino Lane, Lillian Roth and Eugene Pallette. The song hits are many in this love romance. A few of them are: "The Love Parade", "Dream Lover" "My Love Parade", "Nobody's Using It Now", "The Love Parade", a thoroughly modern story of a thoroughly mythical kingdom, a smartly sophisticated musical romance, will be seen and heard for the first time. After a short leave of absence Frankie Masters, youthful master of ceremonies will be back and treat his admirers to a rollicking feats, "White-eyes." Will Not Hang Two Boys; Get 10 Years New York. Through the Arkansas Survey, a colored weekly newspaper published in Little Rock, Ark., the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People learns that two young colored boys, Robert Bell and Grady Swain, once sentenced to death for the alleged murder of a white boy, and for whom the N.A.A.C.P., helped finance two appeals, on third trial have been sentenced to ten years in prison. Sentenced to death at their first trial in December 1927, the case was reversed by the State Supreme Court, and the second trial resulted in a sentence to life imprisonment for Robert Bell. The State Supreme Court again reversed the decision and ordered a new trial.

Johnson has at last replied to the petition of 300 voters asking him to give more recognition to our people in Gary. He has replied with an insulting letter, in which he boldly states that he thought so little of the petition that he threw it in the waste basket. Throwing a petition of 300 voters of Gary in the waste basket is the way the mayor considers and appreciates the votes of Gary colored people. A fac-simile of the mayor's letter is shown above. It reads: "Your letter with petition attached, received. I did not EVEN read petition, which was immediately deposited in the waste basket." Well, folks, that's the kind of mayor you now have—a mayor who throws your petitions in the waste basket without even reading them. That is the kind of mayor YOU put in office, for without the support given him by the colored people of Gary, R. O. Johnson would not be mayor of Gary today. By ignoring your petition, he has shown himself an ingrate and proven that he does not appreciate your votes, and that he does not intend to give you any recognition. That James Britt, confessed slayer of Sam Goldberg, a government witness, received a fair trial and was given the benefit of the doubt, was established as a fact today as a result of an investigation made by The Gary American. Britt was executed last week for shooting Goldberg to death in January. Investigation reveals that the case was properly prosecuted and the manner in which he was ordered to die within 100 days of his sentence was in accordance with the law. In a story in The Gary American last week, the impression was given that Britt was hastened to his death by a vigorous prosecution of the charge against him. This was erroneous. The American has learned that had it been left to the prosecution, Britt would have not been sentenced to death at all and would have shown mercy, as the prosecution at the outset of the trial, stated that it did not seek the death penalty for Britt, and left the manner by which he was to die in the hands of the court.

Hughes Returns to Clear Up Color Bar NEW YORK — Langston Hughes, colored poet, to whom the Ward line declined to sell a passage to Cuba, on the ground that Negro tourists were discouraged by the Cuban government and who sailed on a Cunard Line steamship, visited the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on his return to New York this week, and reported that he had enjoyed a most cordial reception, being the guest of honor at notable receptions and entertainments. His difficulties in obtaining passage for Cuba, and the part taken by the N.A.A.C.P. in questioning the Cuban government about its alleged bar against Negro visitors, were the subject of a long article in one of the leading Cuban daily newspapers, Diaro de la Marine.

Dobson, Chicago baritone soloist, will be held Friday night, April 4. Due to the severe weather the affair was postponed last Friday night. This is the first of a series of concerts to be sponsored this year by the First Baptist choir, which is endeavoring while aiding the church in its program, to bring to the people of Gary some of the best talent to be secured in the middle west. In presenting Dr. Dobson t other Gary public the sponsors introduce an exceptionally fine young man and a most delightful personality. He possesses, in an unusual degree, the power of song and he could not fail the most discriminating public as his voice is of unusual quality. Dr. Dobson is studying on a scholarship at the American Conservatory of Music, being a pupil of the renowned Professor LaBerge. He has studied under George R. Gardner, internationally famed tenor, and for several years a pupil of George Holt, concert soloist. Dr. Dobson is a prominent dentist enjoying a lucrative practice in Chicago and Maywood, Illinois. Work of Actors Is Lauded; Stage Affair For Fund for Local School By MARJORIE BURRELL A capacity house witnessed "A Woman's Honor," a drama in four acts, presented at East Pulaski school last Friday night for the benefit of the school fund and directed by Mrs. F. J. Leeke. The story centered around a young New York society belle who marries a wealthy soldier, a hero of the Cuban war and ruler of the island of San Cruz. She does not love the man but in order to save her father from disgrace she consents to become his wife despite the fact that she is madly in love with a young doctor. She leaves her home in New York and goes to Santa Cruz where she again sees her lover. He learns of her marriage but begs her to go away and live with him. With this demonstration, the woman finds that her love for the young doctor has turned to hate. Her husband then receives the blessing of her love, but too late. He has already learned of her love for the young doctor and becomes cold and indifferent. Pedro, the soldier's half-brother and superintendent of the island, is insanely jealous of the young wife because he knows that she shall inherit the bulk of his brother's estate on his demise. As the news of the young wife's "affair" with a man to whom she is not wed circulates over the island, the clever villian decides to kill the husband and make it appear as though the wife had done the horrible deed in order to return to her lover. Everything goes along smoothly. The death of the husband is almost assured and the people have been incited against the unfaithful wife. Upon the death of her husband, she too will be put to an end. It looks as though all is lost, but at the last moment the villian is caught and the young wife is vindicated. Teachers in Cast The cast of characters was as follows; General Mark Lester, H.

Star of "Sweetie" Lovable in "Honey" Nancy Carroll, newest and best loved sweetheart of the screen, comes back to the type of role that made her famous in her newest production "Honey." coming to the Oriental theater on Friday, March 28. This is another production on the same style as "Sweetie"; in fact, it has primarily been designed as a sequel for that well liked picture. "Honey" is one of the most musical productions to come out of Hollywood this year. It has been the rule for pictures lately to have theme songs. Now there comes a picture not with one theme song, but with over half a dozen rousing song hits. Every one of them is a popular number that is sure to be a success. High School Girl Barred From Hotel New York.

PUBLIC LIBRARY GARY, INDIANA PRICE THREE CENTS TO CARRY NEGRO VOTE FIGHT TO U.S. SUPREME COURT Right of Colored People to Vote In Elections to Be Determined NEW YORK—The brief in behalf of the right to vote of Negro voters, sought to be excluded from the Virginia democratic primaries by rule of the state democratic central committee, is now being prepared for submission to the United States Supreme court where the case is to be heard on appeal. The case, known as West v. Bliley, has been won in federal court for James O. West, the colored voter who brought the suit, and is being appealed by the Virginia authorities. Preliminary draft of the reply brief, prepared by Alfred E. Cohen and Joseph R. Pollard, attorneys, of Richmond, Virginia, has been submitted to the National legal committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and has been gone over carefully by that committee, especially by its chairman, Arthur B. Spingarn and by James Marshall, whose father supervised preparation of the case in its earlier stages. This case, like similar ones being brought by the N.A.A.C.P., in Texas, Arkansas and Florida, brings before the Supreme court the question whether state party committees can exclude colored voters from primary elections when the states are forbidden to do so by enactment. If the Supreme court should uphold the recent decision of Judge Groner in the Federal district court of Virginia, a second decisive blow will have been struck against the white primary system in the south. Not only will it be unlawful for state legislatures to exclude Negroes from primaries, as was held in the first Texas white primary case (Nixon v. Herndon); but in the event of a favorable decision in the present case, state party committees would be similarly prohibited from attempting such exclusion by "ruling" or by prescribing color qualifications for party members. The wide interest in the white primary fight being conducted by the N. A.A.C.P. is evidenced by frequent letters being received from various parts of the country and by reviews of the country and by reviews of the various cases published in the law quarterlies and reviews of Harvard, Yale, Cornell and Michigan universities. Urge All Citizens To Help Clean City In a proclamation issuer recently, Mayor Johnson officially designated the week of March 30, as clean-up week in Gary. Alfred M. Hall, alley inspector, urges all citizens to continue keeping their premises clean, and offers the following suggestions as an aid to eliminate some of the filth of the city. Place three containers in the rear of the home, one for garbage, another for ashes, and one for rubbish. The garbage should be wrapped in paper before being deposited in the container, as this facilitates handling by the city, and curbs the odor.

FULTON'S experience as a business man, his vision and knowledge of the needs of the people of LAKE COUNTY, qualify him for the office. The board of COMMISSIONERS spend more than "NINE MILLION" dollars annually of the taxpayers money. Does not the importance of this office demand the services of a trained, energetic, honest and successful "BUSINESS MAN?" WILLIAM J. FULTON Republican Candidate for County Commissioner, First Dist. Primary May 6, 1930 Page Two JUDGE C.I. CLEMENS SEEKS RE-ELECTION HAS FINE RECORD Has Been Identified With the Early Development of City; 12 Years on Bench Judge Charles I. Clemens, who has served as justice of the peace in Gary, for the past 12 years so successfully that he has had little difficulty in being re-elected every time his term has expired, announced today that he would again seek the office for the next four years, being a candidate for renomination in the Republican primary May 6. Judge Clemens has had a successful tenure of office and has always found the votes necessary to renominate and re-elect him, since he has operated the 'poor man's court" in such a way as to be free from any charge of graft or favoritism and in the interests of the public which can sometimes obtain justice in no other court. Qualified for Post The candidates for renomination was born at Rochester, Indiana, being educated in the schools of that city and later attending Rochester college, Michaels university at Logansport and Mount Morris university, Mount Morris, Ill. He taught school for several years, being principal at Akron, Athens and other cities of Fulton county, and during this period studied law, being admitted to the bar in 1889 at Rochester. Here he practiced law until 16 years ago when he came to Gary and became identified with the early development of this new city. He is a member of the Gary, Lake county, Tenth district and Indiana bar associations, and has been active in these associations as well as in the various civic organizations of this community. His private and public life has been exemplary and he feels that there is no legitimate reason for him not continuing as a justice of the peace as long as he gives service and conducts that office clean. Points to Record During his 12 years upon the township bench, Judge Clemens has striven to be fair in his decisions, to look only into matters with which his court might concern itself and to avoid the factionalism of partisan politics, although he has always yielded allegiance to the Republican party. In politics he has been active, but has avoided extremes. He is a charter member of the Harrison club and belongs to the Gary Republican club as well. He belongs to several fraternal orders and contributes his share towards community service. The candidate is married and has a family of four boys and one girl. He lives at 664 Virginia street, owning Don't Be Deceived There's only one SAM'S LOAN SHOP in Gary. It is at 1604 Broadway M. B. Thousands of VOTERS Are Supporting WM. J.

Chas. I. Clemens 30 TPCG his own home there. If re-nominated and elected, Judge Clemens pledges the same faithful and conscientious service that he has endeavored to perform during his long incumbency in the office. With no sinister reason for not being returned to office, the Judge feels that his experience and qualifications should command attention and should result in him again being one of the two judges to be elected in Calumet township this year. Estimates 300,000 Negroes Jobless "The number of unemployed Negroes is not less than 330,000," according to the National Urban League of New York City whose Departments of Industrial Relations and Research have reached this estimate after carefully analyzing figures gathered from all sections of the country and surveys of unemployed people in several of the principal cities. T. Arnold Hill, who heads the Industrial Department of the League states that "unemployment among Negroes due to causes other than inability to find work will certainly total 330,000, exclusive of those employed in agriculture. This figure is more apt to be understated than exaggerated considering the changes that have occurred since the last census and unemployment of various kinds due to causes other than failure to find employment."

GLOVER GETS IN THE RACE FOR COMMISSIONER Former Mayor of Crown Point Has Had Extensive Experience in Business Edward C. Glover, former mayor of the City of Crown Point, today announced his candidacy for membership on the board of commissioners of Lake county from the Second district, in the primaries next May 6. He was born at Emsworth, Pennsylvania, March 1, 1885 and in 1889 his family moved to East Chicago, being among the first settlers of that now wonderful city. The family lived there until 1897 and then moved to Crown Point, where they have resided continuously ever since. Mr. Glover is married, and his wife, who was Miss Geraldine Mahler before marriage, was born and raised near Lowell. Three boys, Ed, Bob and Dick have made their home noisy, as well as happy. Educated in the public schools of East Chicago and Crown Point, and later at Purdue university, Mr. Glover gained considerable fame as an athlete in basketball and as a pole vaulter on the track team, at which he was Indina state champion for three years, Western Inter-collegiate champion and United States champion in 1905 by virtue of winning at the World's Fair held at Portland, Oregon. He was also a point winning member of the first team that the United States sent to the Olympian games held at Athens, Greece, in 1906. In the business world Mr. Glover spent six years with an abstract company in Crown Point, and for about eighteen years has worked in county offices, principally the recorder's office, but during this period he has, at various times, done work in all the major offices of the county, so that his employment has given him the opportunity to become familiar with conditions and affairs of the County generally.

In 1929, in 42 working days, these deputies took 22, 638 schedules to $24,955.550 as follows: The discrepancy between the actual number of schedules taken and the total of the itemized schedules is accounted for in the fact that many automobiles, etc., were included with the household goods. The tax on these returns when collected will total $855,000. The salaries paid the deputies totalled $4,876 an expense of one-half of one cent on this income or less than 2 cents on each $100 on the assessment. Few Omissions Made From the number of schedules taken one will note that few omissions could have been made in the work. How we may know we have a personal tax return from every resident of Gary who is liable for personal tax was a problem that vexed us long and sorely. We finally evolved a plan for a record which we call the "Office Personal." Beginning at the north end of the street we number the houses consecutively on each side of the street to the extreme south end—the even numbers on one side—the odd on present to the public, in pamphlet form, construction costs in the city of Crown Point during his administration, so that those people who like to study figures may do so, and from this be able to judge for themselves as to his efficiency and qualifications.

The deputies work in pairs. One is given the even numbers the other the odd. When a block has been completed this list is turned in to the office with reasons why no return was taken at any omitted number, which is followed up until the schedule is made. Vacant property is listed as "vacant." Toward the end of the period the streets are all thoroughly checked Where taxpayers have not responded another attempt is made to secure the schedules. If any taxpayer refuses to make schedule or wilfully neglects to do so the assessor is required by law to make arbitrary schedule. Every street in the city is checked in this way with satisfactory results. The total valuation on the schedule is entered with each item in its proper column. Anything unusual in signature or any other peculiarity is carefully noted, so that when the record is finished, it is not only a check on the personal schedules but a complete analysis as well. A taxpayer may know at any time just what items make up the total of his schedule. In order to arrive at equitable as- RE DEAL (Continued on page 4) John McFadden Streets Are Checked MRS. ALICE NEWLIN COTHERY TO SEEK POST AS TRUSTEE Has Received Special College Training for Office She Seeks in Primaries Qualified for the position she seeks, not only by five years of experience, but also by special training in two of the largest universities in the country, Alice Newlin Cothery, chief deputy township assessor, today announced her candidacy for the office of township trustee of Calumet township, subject to the will of the voters in the republican primary election of May 6. From Prominent Family Mrs. Cothery is one of three children of a distinguished family which founded the town of Irwin, Pa., a suburb of Pittsburgh, but has lived in Gary practically all her life. She was the first teacher in the Gary public schools to maintain a residence in Gary. Mrs. Cothery is the sister of Mary Newlin, present township trustee, whom she has served as deputy for the past five years. After finishing grade and high school in Pennsylvania, Mrs. Cothery entered the California Teachers Training college, at California, Pa., where she completed a special teachers' training course. She little realized then that her training as a teacher would give her rather unusual qualifications for the position to which she now aspires.

Affidavits of Mortgage Indebtedness can only be filed between the 1st day of March and the 1st Monday in May and must be made each year, stating the amount due on March 1st the date when assessment period begins. Many people do not understand this and lose the exemption through the mistaken belief that an Affidavit of Mortgage Indebtedness once made is good for the life of the mortgage. These exemptions are allowed by the Board of Review. 4. All about the dog tax—our greatest source of grief. 5. The current tax — when and where payable—probably the most important date of all.

RIDGELY JUDGE LAKE SUPERIOR COURT The office of Judge of the Superior Court demands a man of proven ability and demonstrated efficiency. For three years, Judge Claude V.

Notes The motto of the Young Men's Christian Association, found in John 17-21, reads in part, "That we all might be one." It is a sentence that it would do well for us to meditate over. Locked up on these few words is the secret of success in most enterprises. The five men on a basketball team who play as one; the members of an organization who work together as one unit; the eleven on a football team who play as one, all have a much better chance of success than those people who pull against each other. Here in our association what a wonderful chance we have to all pull together. If we boost our association, take part in the activities with a zest and help to build up the membership, what an association we would have. We are soon to launch a membership campaign. Can't we, as the time approaches resolve to add at least one member; and by helping someone else he office of Township Trustee cannot be filled by a mere "business man." Duties of the office require a person of long experience in the routine of the Township Trustee's office.

Alice Newlin Cothery, candidate on the Republican ticket for Township Trustee is well qualified for the position she seeks by Experience, Knowledge, Education and Temperament. to a higher level we help ourselves. There is a great satisfaction personally when we help the other fellow. Life is too short to look thru darkened spectacles; not only is this true in the association but in our everyday life, whatever our work, we are thrown in contact with other people all trying to make the wheels go round in order that the business might succeed. It is needless to say that the business must prosper if we are to maintain our positions. Let us all be as one and work toward a common end in unison.

SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1930 Are We An Inferior Race? Are We An Inferior Race? Are We An Inferior Race? A little over sixty-five years ago, America removed the shackles of bondage, from her oppressed children, and released them into the world a free people. Few of these people could rad or write. Some had a few acres of land; some only their overalls. Today, we can speak glibly the American language, noun for noun, verb for verb, using each and every word in its correct position. We have Negroes who are linguists, speaking five or six languages. We have doctors who can sew a man's heart between pulse beats, Lawyers who can interpret the laws of the land as well as any man. We have sualified Negroes in every phase of life, from Congressman down. We should be proud of these sunburnt children, we have indeed a superior race, and not an inferior race as our white brothers would have us believe. We have adopted the white man's language, customs, habits and traditions, and we have completely taken his religion away from him and taught him the true meaning of Christianity. The black man has been an apt pupil, and has learned too fast for the white man, thinking so constructively toward his own advancement, that the white man is now calling him a problem. The American white man thinks he is the Negro's superior because he has advanced to his present stage, but forgets that the Negro has kept pace with him We have Negroes who are intellectually and artistically inclined, the equal of any white man. Some of the greatest songs, scientific developments, and inventions can be attributed to the Black American.

Single in field without malice or envy toward other does it have anyone to punish; it has with pious devotion, and that is to stand the black American."—Prospectus of The 1927. MARCH 29, 1930 Inferior Race? We should be proud and have a superior attitude, because of our wonderful background. It is true that the child who can learn his lessons faster than another is superior? Can the white man tell us this is his country alone? No! Was not a black man the first killed in the war for independence? The battlefields of every war this country has participated in, is stained with black blood. Black brains and muscles helped to build this country. Black men have sweated blood from the cotton fields to American's huge industries. We have had our share in the building of this vast nation and contributed our lives, brains and labor. We should reap the fruits of our labors. We must eat our share of the cake. The term, that, "The Negro is on inferior race" is absurd. "Give a horse enough rope and he will break his neck." So let it be with the white man. The Nordics realize that their cheap weapon against the Negro is segregation and discrimination and disorganizing the Negro. You learn too fast associating with him, and he wishes to retard your progress. He knows that by sowing the seeds of discontent among us that he disorganizes us. But instead we are organizing more, getting together more by going to church. Where we used t obe antagonistic towards the Garveyites, we exchange ideas now. We at one time were of an ebony hue, but owing to the exploitation and debauchery of our race by the white man, you find us in colors from black to white, with the intervening shades in between, beautiful as a bouquet of flowers, a kaliedscopic race. undry Do It a wash day r home Executive Editor Business Manager Political Announcement Editor GARY AMERICAN: Please announce to the voters of Lake county that I will be a candidate on the Republican ticket for the nomination for Township Trustee of Calumet Township at the primary election, May 6, 1930.

The Marvelous Accomplishments of a Man Who Never Broke His Word and Acquired a Fortune By Always Being Unbelievably Honest True Stories Achievement Stories W. B. Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, Advertising Representatives A Self-M Uncanny Aided in The Marvelous Never Broke H By Always When Charley Martin died in the little town of Maryville, Mo., recently, they held his funeral at the leading white church, and his best friend, the president of the Farmer's Trust Company Bank, ordered a most elaborate and expensive monument to his memory. White and colored attended in large numbers; and for a long time they grieved over the passing of the best loved of all distinctly original characters. When Charley Martin wore a dress suit, he showed to considerable advantage; consequently when he attended a social function, he was immaculate in attire, and always admirably dressed. He was as much at home in a drawing room as he was in the counting room at the bank where he was employed, and he was always invited to "things." In fact, Charley often said he was so busy that he wouldn't have time to go to his own wedding even if he had made up his mind to marry which he never did. The police force in this college town of five thousand inhabitants were especially obligated to Charley Martin for his assistance in a most extraordinary way, inasmuch as he was a self-made criminologist. He had the ability that many detectives lack, that is, to see straight to the main point in a complicated mystery. He furthered his aim in this direction and accomplished more than any one else in the way of solving baffling mysteries. Of course, this was only his hobby, as he was an employee of the largest bank in town where he drew a large salary. Everybody called Charley Martin by his first name. He preferred this. He was polite and kind to children, and all the stray dogs in town ran to him early in the morning when he opened the door of the bank. If they were hungry, he fed them, and if they were homeless, he found a home for them on some farm. Charley once spent a half day seeking a place for a collie dog that he had found shivering in the cold under the roof of the bank porch. And besides, there was his word. If Charley Martin told you he'd do anything, you could count on it being carried out exactly as he promised. He expected others to do the same for him, although it is true that he was many times disappointed. However, he did not lose faith in humanity. Forty-four years ago, Cal Pierce, president of the bank, saw Charley half-clad, pushing a meat cart down the street in the dead of winter. He took an interest in him. Walking out to where Charley had paused to rest in the blinding snow storm, the flakes of which were obliteratingly large, Pierce said: "What's your name?" "Martin, Charley." "How long have you been working for——?" "Two months." "Isn't that cart hard to push?" Pierce interrogated, eyeing the young man up and down. "Don't you have to be something of a horse to push that cart all day?" Charley nodded energetically. "Yes," he confessed, "I do have to be very much a horse. But I have a father and mother to look after. I can do anything for them." Pierce studied the young man in silence for a moment. "How old are you?" Charley told him he was ten. "Pretty young," Pierce said. Thenddenly: "How'd you like to have job working in the bank, sweeping --- The Gary American ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 29, 1930 By Gregory Gorman The house is a two-story wooden structure with a gabled roof and a front porch. It has a white exterior with horizontal siding and a dark roof. The windows are square and have shutters. The front door is a rectangular door with a glass panel. The house is surrounded by a grassy area with a few trees.

"Sure," he acknowledged, "if I had a job in the bank I'd work like thunder to keep it. I wouldn't ask for anything better." And that's how Charley went to work at the Farmer's Trust Company. Two years ago, Myrl Gorman, wife of a journalist, entered the bank and drew five hundred dollars. She folded the bills carefully and walked out. In her purse which she left behind in a vanity box, was one hundred and four dollars. She did not miss the purse until she had reached home. Then she grew excited and started back to look for it. She knew that not many people would return such a large amount of money. She hurriedly visited every store in town at which she had been that day. But she failed to find any trace of the lost money. The last place she entered was the bank and Charley was awaiting her. "Did you lose this?" he asked, smiling. Such incidents as these attracted friends to him, and he was never forgotten by the lady whose money he found on that occasion. Charley made a fortune by attending strictly to business. Handicapped by lack of education, he made up for it by reading at the mid-night hour, sometimes at home, and sometimes at the bank, in his cozy compact office on the first floor. The nature of his reading had something to do with criminology in its various phases. He seldom read anything else. He knew he had to guard the great steel vaults in which were thousands of dollars, and that the officials looked to him to protect their interests in that direction. It was this more than anything else that caused him to turn his mind to the study of crime. Once when the Real Estate Bank went broke, abruptly closing its doors, and false rumors were circulated that other banks in town were tottering, the bankers got together and discussed the threatening situation. They had to do some- When a school teacher was killed by a train early one morning, everyone thought she had been murdered by a tramp and her body placed on the track so the train could crush her. thing, as at any moment there was danger of a run being made on each local institution; so they decided to order a lot of money shipped in. The money arrived. But this necessitated special guards. Accordingly, the bankers employed trusted guards who sat in the doors or directly behind each entrance with a sawed off shotgun ready for action. No one knew when a bank robbery would be undertaken. However, there was no armed guard at the Farmer's Trust Company. One would never have noticed any difference if one had been unacquainted with the situation. But upon closer observation perhaps, one would have noticed a bright-eyed fellow standing or lean- Clean Fiction Human Interest Features t Whose ysteries mes night she had been murdered by a could crush her. ing carelessly in the middle of the spacious room, with his right hand loitering in the immediate vicinity of his hip where there was a stiff leather holster, quaintly decorated, in which reposed a pearl-handled revolver, ready for instant use. That was the only indication one (Continued on page two) 2 Continued from Page One had that the bank was expecting trouble from bank burglars. And Charley was there day and night. Unlike many readers, Charley's favorite fictional detective was Craig Kennedy, scientific investigator. He seldom gave any time to Sherlock Holmes. In his office was a heavy polished bookcase that glimmered in the reflections of frosted globes against the ceiling; and in the book case were heavy volumes bound in leather, red, green and brown. These books were on divers subjects, dealing with crime in all its phases; banking, etc. And in one corner of the room was a small bench upon which Charley carried out various chemical experiments. Charley spotted a muddy car that swept through the main street of the town one day, and reported to the officers that he had recognized the driver from a picture he had seen in a paper. The man was Harley Ross, a bank robber who had killed a motorcycle policeman in St. Joseph, a city forty miles away. And because the officers knew that Charley was not given to spurious talk, they carried out an investigation. That was how Outlaw's Roost became known to the town's citizens. Ross had fled to a nearby farm, where he was captured two days later. Charley's memory was pretty well trained along those lines. Once he saw a face, he remembered it. Moreover, upon several occasions he demonstrated his ability as a detective. When a school teacher was killed by a train early one morning, every one thought she had been murdered by a tramp and her body placed on the track so the train could crush her. But after a brief investigation, Charley pointed out to the authorities that the woman was in ill health and had been taking medicine for some time. They asked him how he knew this, and he showed them a piece of the woman's dress which had a stain on it. Charley had picked up a medicine vial at the scene of the accident, and in his laboratory—that little bench in the corner of his office equipped for chemical research—he poured a few drops on the piece of dress material and after waiting a while, found it made the same kind of stain, therefore was the medicine vial the unfortunate woman had carried with her that fatal morning. The authorities were convinced when they found that the woman had been taking nerve medicine and that she had actually carried the vial found by Charley. And there were many other cases that Charley grappled with and produced remarkable results He drove an expensive automobile, owned considerable farm land and had a good account at the bank where he was employed. Wise investment had enabled him to reach a point where he didn't have to worry about anything. Quite a step from a butcher's cart in a blinding snowstorm with his rags whipping his poorly nourished body. Quite a step, but he made it. It is stoutly proclaimed here that Charley Martin was one of the most capable criminologists ever seen in that section of the country, and that he had as many white friends as friends of his own race.

By THE BOOKER "The Black Venus," by Andre Salmon. Published by the Macauley Company, New York. $2.50. Mederic Bouthor, a peculiar and Quixotic individual in the Latin quarter of Paris, becomes enamoured with a beautiful Negro slave girl. He buys her, names her Cora, and also surrounds himself with all of the artists and poets of the quarter. There are frequent informal meetings of this artist-poet group at Bauthor's, where the most sophisticated type of conversation takes place. Both in subject matter and manner, the content of this conversation reflects the strange and tragic life of these talented people, as they are inevitably confined to the poorer classes for their social and economic association. Cora is physically attracted to Mumu, a most extraordinarily handsome young Latin, who is likewise, captured by the odd and tropical beauty of the dark-skinned slave girl. They become lovers, unknowingly to Bouthor. Mumu, however is a professional philanderer and has many more slavish female admirers than the passionate Cora approves. On every hand he is besieged by beautiful women of all races, who clamor for this expert in the art of love. From here and in a fascinating manner, the author narrates the many intriguing and amorous adventures of the indefatigable Mumu. It is quite logical that at least one of Mumu's sweethearts should actively resent his affair with Cora. When she does, in a jealous rage she has him murdered. An innocent admirer of Mumu is grief-stricken over his death and later commits suicide. Cora, the Black Venus, with more than her share of admirers, and not at all overwhelmed with sorrow, continues her adventurous life after being exiled by her master. THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Invites and Appreciates All Comments From Readers. --- This book is superbly different from the general run of novels—both in its selection of principal characters and its character delineation. Here is love, intrigue, suspense, blind passion, humor and tragedy. But none of these are developed in the conventional manner. Instead of the eternal triangle of villian, hero and heroine, there are variegated and subtle plots running throughout the volume which trip the reader's attention and insure new and delightful experiences with every few pages. One follows the weavings of the story as if it were a detective mystery. There is a verve and life in the language that quickens one's interest as the most unexpected developments take place. It is an unusually enveloping and prepossessing novel. It places the reader in the midst of the stark and cynical background which is reflected in the characters. A sort of unmoral atmosphere characterizes the entire plot, which also makes the story genuinely different from the usual immoral flavor which is now attached to the so-called ultra-modern fiction. When Pain Comes Two hours after eating What many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been overstimulated, and food sours. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. It has remained the standard with physicians in the 50 years since its invention. One spoonful' of this narmless, tasteless alkali in water will neutralize instantly many times as much It is a very exceptional book. GENUINE PHILLIPS MILK OF MAGNESIA For Troubles due to Acid INDIGESTION ACID STOMACH HEARTBURN HEADACHE GASES·NAUSEA GULLAH LIFE In The Raw GULLAH LIFE In The Raw In "Nigger to Nigger," by E. C. L. Adams (Charles Scribner's Sons, New York) is recorded some of the richest wit to be found in any publication on Negroes. Briefly it is a sketch of the so-called purest African types which are to be found along the Congaree river in South Carolina. It contains no action except that which is related in the stories of the characters whose conversations compose the witty sketch. Through "Tad' and "Scip" what purports to be the philosophy and originality of an entire race are revealed. The author, a white physician in Columbia, South Carolina, succeeded in compiling a work which, if not immeasely valuable to the Negro Group, will serve to stir the humor and patho. of every person who reads it. The volume is written in characteristic "gullah" dialect fascinatingly picturesque, and eminently fitted for its type of content. The dialect will be recalled vividly by those who saw the remarkable play "Porgy." However, in this volume it can be understood, since it can be molled over until its meaning is finally discovered; while in "Porgy" is was difficult to remember an unfamiliar word long enough to work out its meaning. There is no doubt that the volume contains pathos, humor, tragedy, keen wisdom, and crude brilliance. The most momentous problems of the race, are discussed now, with biting sarcasm, at other times, with the delightfully disturbing humor of a subtle comedian. One sketch, "Becky," is particularly suggestive of the tragic and robust unmorality of the heroine of "Scarlet-Sister Mary:" Tad: Is you know Becky? Voice: Wuh 'hout Becky? Tad: She been up to de white folks' yard wid she three chillun, an' when she leff, young Miss axe Alice, Becky's sister, how long Becky been marry. Alice say: "Beck ain't never been marry." An' young Miss say: "O Alice, how come she have all er dem chillun an' she ain' got no husband?" An' Alice say: Becky git she chillun de best way she kin. She say she ain' want no husband." Scip: Dat's de surest way to get 'em. There is an extraordinary veracity and a poignant clarity in the story, "That Damn Nigger." It is the tragic account of an innocent Negro murdered by a white man. At the trial, nothing whatever was mentioned as to the brutality of the crime. Before the "twelve men good and true" had had an opportunity to return the absolving verdict, the judge requested that the fine war record of the men be taken into account, and that the jury be lenient with the murderers. One of the story-teller's comments on the situation was: "A nigger was kilt an' white folks de court." Despite such fatalistic humor, the volume manages to provide exceedingly interesting reading and sparkling repartee. acid, and the symptoms disappear at once.

BUNKER Nationally Known Graphoanalyst An old friend of mine used to say that a person without any temper wasn't worth having around. This may be true. I have no quarrel with the old gentleman's philosophy or ideas abou what make up people and give them the best characteristics with which to go through life, but one thing is certain—the man or woman who goes around carrying a temper that is always bobbing up and blowing off steam, is headed for a lot of trouble. Such a temper is not worth having and certainly doesn't help its owner but is a real handicap both in the professional and business world as well as in the social life where he mingles. this look time There are several traits in a hand writing that will show temper and where you find them you should look for self-control.

When he dances with her he treads on her toes, and her flance, Reggie, makes a cutting remark regarding Rod's clumsiness. The girl averts trouble by taking Rod into the garden where they become well acquainted. Later at a cabaret, Reggie becomes intoxicated and strikes Rod, who does not return his blow. For a few minutes Lyla thinks him a coward in spite of his splendid size, and apparent strength. Later she changes her opinion when Rod whips Wolf, a gangster, who insults Lyla. Rod is warned, the next day, that Wolf is dangerous and will not forget his defeat at Rod's hands quickly. When the youth calls on Lyla that night he meets Alderman Durant, who also warns him that Wolf may attempt to harm him. Rod laughs at the warning, but as he leaves Lyla's home at mid-night he is "taken for a ride" by Wolf and his gang, who inform him that they are going to shoot him to death. Rod warns them that his father, a wealthy ranchman in Montana will avenge him at which Wolf threatens to wire the rancher for $5,000 after they have killed Rod. The youth steels himself to make some sort of effort to escape as the car turns into a lonely road in the country, but any such action proves unnecessary as the machine is halted by a group of prohibition agents lying in wait for bootloggers. They send Wolf on his way after Rod tells his story, and take Rod back to the city with them. In this manner the young Westerner escapes. The next day he meets Kling, a Jewish manager of prize-fighters, who offers Rod a contract, telling him that he can make a great deal of money. Rod needs money to enter school, and so accepts the contract. Kling then takes him down town to a gymnasium, where a number of boxers are training. Kelly, a middleweight fighter, resents Rod's addition to the Kling boxing stables, as he is afraid that Rod may take his place. Kling tells Kelly to box with Rod and the other fighter shows by his manner that he intends to harm Rod once they are in the ring. Rod followed the heavily muscled blond youth toward the ring quietly. Kling stood in the background watching. He sensed Kelly's enmity toward Rod, and he understood the blond youth's feeling. Kelly had lost his past three fights, and feared that Kling would replace him with another fighter. Kelly leaped lightly through the ropes of the ring and stood waiting in the center of the hempen inclosure. a cruel smile twisting his thin lips into a half snarl. "Make it snappy there, Big Boy," he commanded Rod, who was climbing into the ring, "or you'll make me think you are afraid." Rod grinned easily. "Maybe I am," he suggested. "You'd better be," his opponent advised. From the edge of the ring Kling spoke. "Now, don't go slugging at the boy, Kelly. Just box with him so we can find out where he's weak. No rough stuff, see, or you'll maybe get a surprise. And you, Cowboy—you show us what you know, and don't be afraid to let loose your punches." He glanced at the watch he held in his hand, and suddenly called, "Time!" Kelly shuffled confidently toward Rod, who danced lightly away. The blond fighter sneered, then followed rapidly, jabbing tentatively at Rod's face. The bronzed youth averted his head the slightest trifle, making Kelly's blow go wide of its mark. Kelly scowled, then rushed Rod to the ropes, pumping vigorously at his body. As Rod's back struck the ropes, he relaxed, then as the hemp rebounded, throwing him back into the ring with swift force, he swung The Stormy C A At Leavenworth all of the prison officials were exceedingly considerate of Jack. The wardens urged him to continue his physical training. Jack was entrusted with the responsibility of keeping the entire prison in the best physical condition. His prison term developed into a period of relaxation for him. I CHAPTER IV PART I his right arm in a short arc, striking the other boxer flush on his jaw, sending him to the canvas covered floor with a dull thump. "See, I told you!" shouted Kling. "I told you you should not get rough with the boy. And anyway, you ought to know better than to follow anyone, even an amateur, into the ropes." Kelly sat on the floor staring in amazement at Rod. He got to his feet slowly, shook his head, and grated, "Aw, accidents will happen to anyone. The chump just got a lucky blow in on me. Come on, Big Boy. We'll see what there is to you." KELLY TAKES A FLOP Kling's keen eyes narrowed, but he remained silent as Kelly, half crouching, leaped savagely at Rod. The latter, his eyes blazing, did not give an inch but met Kelly's oncoming form with a staccato shower of swift blows, taking in return a hard srash to his jaw. For an instant the two men stood toe to toe, slugging furiously, forgetful of boxing skill, each intent only on beating the other to the floor. The furious mixup, and the unprecedented knockdown of Kelly had drawn most of the boxers in the gym around the ring in which the two were fighting. They shouted advice to both men indiscriminately, and even struck each other in their enjoyment of the fierce glove swinging. Then abruptly Kelly's knees sagged, his arms dropped, and a dazed expression crept over his face. As he sank drunkenly toward the floor, Rod landed a final crashing jolt to his mid-section, which sent the blond youth back on his heels, and to the canvas where he lay twitching, his legs doubled under him. For an instant Rod stood regarding his fallen foe with burning eyes, then seeing that he was "out cold." ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 29, 1930 THE FIRST SHaking Hands Jack was surprised one day to meet his friend, the former Governor Dickerson of Nevada. He was chief executive of tha. state when Jack fought Jeffries in 1910. The two had much association together and throughout Jack's prison term the former governor proved a staunch friend and adviser. A man is running away from a car. The street is dark, and there are trees and bushes in the foreground. He Shouted Hoarsely-Then Began Running Madly Toward the Vehicle picked him up and dragged him into one of the corners, where somebody had pushed a chair. When Kelly fell, an instant of hushed silence had swept over the crowd. Kling's voice was silently awed when he spoke. "By golly, Kid, you've K.O'd him sure as shootin'. Why, that's the first time Kelly's ever been knocked out in his life. Golly, what a sock you got!" ROD BEGINS HIS CAREER As Rod climbed out of the ring, the other fighters crowded around him, slapping him on the back, and saying a great number of congratulatory things. Kling waved them away brusquely. "Say, what you bums trying to do? Give my new boy the big-head? Come on, Cowboy, you've made me know what kind of a fighter you are." Rod smiled at the other fighters who surrounded him, then with a last glance at the corner where several men were working over the still unconscious Kelly, he followed Kling back to the dressing rooms, where the latter promptly closed and locked the doors. "Say, Cowboy," he asked, a trace of wonderment in his voice, "ain't you never fought before in a ring? Honest, ain't you now?" Rod grinned, and felt his swollen jaw tenderly. ed Hoarsely—Then Began Ru nson--No.22 THE BOXING FIGHT On Thanksgiving day in prison Jack defeated two fighters of considerable ability. The fighters had been brought from Chicago for the occasion. The fights took place in a ring especially built within the prison walls. The prison bands were out in full force and blared forth when Jack entered the ring. A STRANGE CAR Then Began Running M in a ring before, but to be truthful, I have boxed a lot. Maybe I didn't tell you, but the fellow who was working on our ranch was Dandy O'Day, former welterweight champion, who was trying to regain his health by working out there in the open air. He taught me a lot, I guess." Kling whistled. "O'Day, eh? No wonder you know how to use your feet and hands. Now listen, Kid—with your looks and the punch you got in your mitts, we ought to clean up a bunch of dough. All I want you to do is follow out my instructions. You got to come down here every day and work out, so the newspaper guys can look you over. And though your wind may be all right, I want that you should get up early in the morning and trot a few miles. How about it?" "OK, Mr. Kling. But I warn you that I'm only going to fight this summer. I want to go to school this fall. That's the only reason why I signed up with you—to get enough money to enter school." "You'll forget that, Cowboy," Kling assured him, "when you get your hands on some real cash. Just wait and see." When Rod got home he found a message awaiting him from Lyla.

Hundreds of people and automobiles swarmed the grounds. ```markdown ``` phoned her at once, only to find that she was not at home. Restlessly he paced up and down his small room, while plans, thoughts, ideas swam through his mind in a confusing kaleidoscope. He wondered what Lyla would say when he told her that he had turned professional fighter. He was afraid that she would disapprove. Perhaps she would refuse to see him, even, when she knew about his new profession. He asked himself what he would do in that case. But perhaps she wouldn't mind. Kling had told him that he would be able to make a great deal of money in the ring as a fighter. Suppose he did? Then he would be able to own a car, dress well, and be the kind of person whom Lyla's friends seemed to be. Perhaps he would even make enough money to go back out to Montana and buy a vast ranch which bordered on that of his father's. But that would mean leaving Lyla. He could never do that. Maybe she would be willing to go out there herself. He put the idea from him with a rueful grin. No, she was a city girl, used to the luxuries of the city, and she would never (Continued on Page Four) THE DARK KNIGHT RHEUMATIC PAIN CAN BE RELIEVED There is nothing "hit or miss" about Prescription C-2223.

ROD REFLECTS But what about the Wolf? Would he continue to molest him? He was sure that the gangster would never be content until he had gotten his revenge on him. What should he do about it? Tell the police? That wouldn't do much good, he decided. The only thing for him to do would be to evade any traps the gangster might lay for him by being very, very careful. The worried youth threw open one of his windows. It was early evening. Street lights glowed faintly, and the warm fragrance of spring swept into his room, creating in him a vague sense of melancholy, and a sharp yearning for the quiet peace of the ranges. Rod asked himself impatiently why he should feel as he did. Had he not succeeded in holding his own since he had been in the city? Had he not won the favor of the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen? And were his prospects for making money not the best? He shrugged his shoulders and, whistling tunelessly, went to phone Lyla again. After a short delay he got her. "Oh, Rod!" she exclaimed, "didn't you get my message?" "Sure, but only an hour or so ago. I'd been downtown." "What are you doing now?" "Waiting to ask you if I can come over." "Well, why don't you?"

For the Up-to- Date Hostess KEEPING SANDWICHES FRESH AND DAINTY Countless hostesses, who have trumped their partner's ace as a result of worrying about making sandwiches for their guests, will welcome a new development that promises to solve many a sandwich problem and improve many a bridge score. A scientifically devised moist air compartment for the electric refrigerator now makes it possible for the hostess to prepare her sandwiches early in the day, at her convenience. No longer is it necessary for her to lose out on a number of bridge hands while she stages a frenzied, last-minute, sandwich-making act before the guests are served. Sandwiches, made ten or even fifteen hours or more before the party and then stored in the moist air compartment, or hydrator, remain as fresh and dainty as when prepared. The moisture-laden cold makes this possible. Not only does this compartment hold forth special promise to the hcstess as a highly valuable ally in her job of entertaining, but it bids fair to accomplish a highly useful task every other day of the week. It is capable of rehumidifying or freshening vegetables or of maintaining their original degree of freshness over indefinite periods of time. Exhaustive tests conducted by home economics authorities have demonstrated that the hydrator, if located properly within the electric refrigerator, will restore even vegetables that have a decidedly wilted appearance to a surprising degree of freshness and crispness within a short period of time.

Rod seized the figure and held it very tightly in his arms, and kissed the lips he found in the darkness. Lyla's natural voice, slightly breathless, rewarded him. "How do you know who you're kissing in the dark?" "Honey, I'd know your lips on a darker night than this!" "Baloney!" Lyla exclaimed inelegantly. "Let me down." Obediently Rod set her feet on the sand. The two young people sank down together very close to the edge of the water. Lyla pulled her tiny feet under her and sat staring pensively out over the restless surface of the dark lake. Rod, close by her side, was silent, gripped by the beauty of the moment, and unwilling to break the spell. The soft, fresh breezes which swept off the waters held an intangible spiciness, and a caressing warmth which touched the faces of the two young folks gently. The sound of the small wavelets lapping on the beach was a quiet refrain to the loveliness of the night. Far out on the lake the lights of a passing steamer gleamed for an instant, then disappeared into the mysterious reaches of the darkness. Rod sighed deeply. "Gee, Lyla, I'd sure like to be on that boat going somewhere . . . anywhere . . . just so long as you were with me . . ." he mused dreamily. "Do you feel like that really, Rod?" the girl whispered.

"Yes, I know, Rod. I've been feeling that way but when I do I get kinda—well, you know—sorta—" In the darkness the fragrance of the girl's hair drifted to him in pulsating waves. Her nearness excited him. He felt her slender, softly curved figure lying against his, and his blood pounded furiously through his strong young body. Gently at first, then with increasing ardor, he kissed her, until the roaring of his blood beat a quickening tempo in his brain. He felt her lips clinging to his, her arms creeping around his neck. His hard, sinewy hands caressed her HEAL SORE LEGS AT HOME The Liepe Method provides a special prescription for each case.

Faintly she moved in his arms, stirring gently from his hard embrace. "Don't, Rod—don't." "Oh, but I love you, my dear—" "I know, dear, I know, but—" "What does anything matter, Lyla, except that we love each other?" He drew her again into a savage embrace. She pushed hard against him. "Wait, Rod—please, darling—we've got to think. It's all so beautiful—we mustn't spoil it like this. Can't you see that?" SELF-REPROACH Slowly Rod's arms relaxed. The girl sat up and lifted her flushed face to the cool breeze that swept in off the lake. Rod raised himself slowly, and hid his face in his hands. "Oh, Lyla, can you ever forgive me?" he pleaded. "There is nothing to forgive, Rod," she said, as she caressed his tousled hair. "We're young, and we're human, but thank goodness we were level headed enough—" "You mean YOU were," Rod corrected her shamedly. "I don't know what came over me. I was like a savage. I've never been like that before. I'm so sorry." "Forget it, dear," Lyla advised gently. Suddenly she pointed out toward the lake, where close into the shore the lights of a small motorboat winked gaily as the craft bobbed up and down on the choppy waves. "Look—see the little boat. Don't you: wish we were out in it?" Rod shook his head morosely. "Not since I've found out what a brute I am. I'll never trust myself with you again." "Don't be silly, Rod," the girl commanded. "Next time we'll know better. Won't you forget it, please." She shivered. "I'm cold now. dear. Shall go?" "Perhaps we'd better." Rod assisted her to her feet and brushed the sand off her dress, and off himself. That dore, they dashed toward the sidewall, and its bright lights. As they reached it Lyla gave a small cry of dismay. "Oh, Rod, I've left my pocketbook. We'll have to go back and find it." "You stay right here," Rod bade, "while I run back and get it for you. I remember exactly where we were." Wheeling, he dashed back into the darkness. His eyes, trained for just such a task as this, easily followed Why worry about delayed periods from unnatural causes.

When he reached the place they had been, he felt around over the ground for her pocketbook. Failing to and it, he got down on his hands and knees and covered every inch of sand within a radius of five feet of where they had been. His search in vain, he paused to think. He remembered now that she had brought no pocketbook. She must have forgotten that. He arose from the sand, brushed himself off, and started back toward the boulevard. When he was within twenty-five feet of the street, he looked for Lyla. His pulses leaped. She was just being dragged into an automobile. He shouted hoarsely, then began running madly toward the vehicle. Just as he came close enough to see it clearly, it plunged away from the curb and went speeding down the street. Rod's heart sank.
