VOLUME III. No. 20 LABOR EXPERTS TO CONFER AT DURHAM LABOR CONFERENCE Facil-Finding Parley To Study Problems of Workers in Two Day Meeting Durham, N. C., (By Associated Negro Press) Every element of Negro labor from representatives of the American Federation of Labor, the National Urban league, and the more radical organizations such as the American Negro Labor conference are expected to present their views on the problems affecting Negro workingmen and women at the Fact Finding conference to be held in Durham, April 16-18. The general economic situation as it affects Negroes engaged in Agriculture and business likewise will come in for its share of attention the discussions to be led by practical authorities who may be expected to bring information leading to a national program for the group. "Everything is in readiness for the Conference," said Dr. James E. Shepard, who is president. "The Negro faces in America today an economic situation, the successful solution of which is of vital importance to our racial progress and life. The problems of labor an dbusiness, the opportunity for Negroes to earn a living and to fit effectively into the rapidly shifting economic changes throughout which the country is passing demands thought and counsel of the most serious type in charting a program which can serve as a guiding light." H. U. Inaugurates New Art Gallery WASHINGTON—The new art gallery of Howard university on the ground floor of Andrew Rankin chapel will be formally opened here on April 7 with a traveling art exhibition sponsored by the College Art association of America. This exhibition contains canvasses by some of the outstanding American painters of the day. Generous loans have been made by Mr. Duncan Phillips, for the Phillips Memorial gallery, and Mr. Paul J. Sachs, from his private collection. In addition, artists and dealers have cooperated splendidly in making this the outstanding exhibition offered by the College association this season. "Montana Moon" Is Gay Romance Joan Crawford, exponent of all that is modern on the screen, comes to the Chicago theater on Friday, April 5, in her latest all-talking picture "Montana Moon." Always a clever actress, she is better than ever in this gay romance of the modern west. The picture brings a great combination of all that is fine in cinema photography. Some of the scenes, most of which were filmed on the actual locations, are breath-taking in their grandeur. The New Negro By EARL J. MORRIS There is looming on the horizon of America a new Negro. This new Negro is the young man of today; the future of entire race rests upon his shoulders. The new Negro has thrown aside the antiquated methods, once used by his fore-parents, and seriously thinks of his posterity. When this new type of Negro dies he will leave industrial and financial institutions to insure the economical existence of the race. The young Negro is race conscious. He seriously considers the delinquencies of his race, and will ultimately solves the economic problems of the Negro. 1x The young men and women of our race are destined to make progress in the way of economical, educational, and social advancement. The girls and young women of today are potential mothers, and the future generations of our race is entrusted to their care. It is they who will teach the little children who are to come. The new Negro will demand, rather than beg, for the things that should be rightfully his, and will get them. He is a thinker, builder, and a fighter, and should be encouraged when he wishes to venture into the commercial world, or any other worthwhile venture that he will undertake to enter. The Gary American Women Workers On The Increase, U.S. Bureau Finds Problems of Sex Receives Special Study of Government, Says Labor Bureau Graphic and illuminating are the sets of charts on Negro women workers now being circulated by the women's bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor. Study of the problems pertaining to the more than one million and a half Negro women wage earners in the United States is an important part of the big and varied task of the women's bureau. These workers constitute 18.4 per cent of the women in gainful employment in the United States, this total being over eight and a half million, whose interests come within the scope of the bureau activities. Facts about the industrial classification of all the Negro women reported by the 1920 census, and the occupational distribution, earnings, hours, and time in the trade of several thousand of them included in a special study by the bureau, are presented in a set of five charts, each 24 inches by 34 inches. All organizations planning conferences or meeting on the subject of Negro wage earners, all schools or colleges including study and discussion of this subject in their curriculum, women's clubs, and labor groups will find these charts an interesting and educational exhibit feature. Anyone wishing to borrow the charts can obtain them by writing direct to the women's bureau, U. S. Department of Labor, Washington, D.C. The charts will be sent out free the borrower paying only the return postage.

Barthelmess In Premiere Picture Richard Barthelmess, who endeared himself to moving picture fans for his work in "Drag," scores another hit in his latest picture, "Son of the Gods," now playing at the McVickers theatre. Barthelmess has turned out to be one of the premiere motion picture actors of the country, and he justly deserves his laurels. His work in "Son of the Gods" is beyond reproach. It is the flawless performance of the finished actor, perfect in every detail, always up to the high standard it sets. Office of Publication: 7 East 19th Avenue Telephone Gary 2-4660 - If Busy, Call Gary 2-3865 CLAIM DIXIE JUDGE TOO PREJUDICE TO SIT ON U. S. BENCH National Association Initiates Fight to Prevent Him From Being Chosen NEW YORK—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today made public the text of a letter to Senator George W. Norris, chairman of the committee on the judiciary, urging adverse action upon the name of Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina, nominated by President Hoover to the United States Supreme court. The letter also requests opportunity to be heard at the hearing of the judiciary committee on Judge Parker's nomination. Letters urging adverse action on Judge Parker have also gone to thirty-four other senators. Base Protest on Speech The association bases its protest upon a speech made by Judge Parker in 1920, when he was candidate for Governor of North Carolina, in which he was quoted as saying that: "The Negro as a class does not desire to enter politics. The Republican party of North Carolina does not desire him to do so. We recognize the fact that he has not yet reached that stage in his development when he can share the burdens and responsibilities of government . . . the participation of the Negro in politics is a source of evil and danger to both races and is not desired by the wise men in either race or by the Republican party of North Carolina." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People submits that no man who holds such opinions as these is qualified to sit on the bench of the United States Supreme court where, inevitably, issues affecting Negro Americans will be brought for consideration and where these issues will be determined on the basis of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Federal constitution. The Advancement Association further announced that a telegram submitting the quotation had been sent to Judge Parker in Charlotte, N. C. last Wednesday, asking him if he had been correctly quoted and, if correctly quoted, whether the views expressed in 1920 represented his present attitude. Mr. White stated that no reply to this inquiry had been received from Judge Parker. 13 Are Chosen To Take Census On South Side With the employment of thirteen colored people, as enumerators the 1930 census was begun in Gary Wednesday as in other cities and towns in the United States. The number of colored enumerators employed was considered as fairly good recognition. The number of white enumerators employed to conduct the census in Gary was 51, including many of foreign extraction. Special preference was given to World war veterans, their wives, and widows of soldiers. The following is a list of the thirteen appointed to carry on the work here: Mrs. Louella T. West, 2148 Massachusetts; Mrs. Daisy Garnett, 2249 Washington; Mrs. Mary Dozier, 2321 Connecticut; Mrs. Carolyn Cathey, 2332 Connecticut; Mrs. Grace Wimbush, 1941 Massachusetts; Mrs. Alice Williams, 521 E. 20th Ave.; Mrs. Margaret Powell, 2317 Washington; Mrs. Anna Cook, 2319 Adams; Mrs. Marie M. Cook, 2554 Harrison, Mrs. Nettie Rapier, 2549 Madison; Earl R. Hyman, 1721 Vermont; Julius Mackey, 2129 Washington; Henry O. Johnson, 2608 Washington. Read the Professional Directory. GARY, INDIANA, SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1930 Reads That He Is Dead; Receives Many Telegrams Attorney Fritz Alexander Learns of His Death Thru Error Made by Newspaper Attorney Fritz Alexander of Gary picked up a copy of the Baltimore Afro-American last week and read that he was dead. The news was quite astonishing inasmuch as Mrs. Alexander, the supposed widow, had received numerous telegrams, letters, and long distance calls of regret and sympathy from relatives, friends and classmates. The error was made by the paper through an erroneous report that the attorney had been killed at Indiana Harbor last week. It was an erroneous report confused with the tragedy of Attorney Fred Ramsey, who was killed several weeks ago when he drove his machine into the path of a Pennsylvania train. FETE DR. HAWKINS MONDAY AT CHURCH Members of First Baptist To Honor Pastor; Program To Begin Monday The First Baptist church at 21st avenue and Washington street, is planning to celebrate the seventeenth anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. Chas. E. Hawkins. Beginning Monday night, April 7, and continuing through Monday, April 14th, there will be an interesting program. These programs will be under the direction of various auxiliaries of the church and shall start at 7:30 p. m. The general public has been extended a hearty welcome. DAILIES CAPITALIZE 'N' IN WORD NEGRO Fnd That 114 Newspapers Are Adoptng Style Followed By N. Y. Times NEW YORK—A poll conducted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People among editors of leading white dailies throut the United States, and book-publishers, shows that sentiment is overwhelmingly in favor of the use of the capital N in printing the word Negro, and that many editors and publishers have adopted this style. The first two week's replies received by post card and letter at the N.A.A.C.P. national office show the following startling results: Now using capital N in printing Negro, or endorsing this use editorially: 114. Will use this style henceforth, 28. Do not use capital N: 7. Urban League To Give Fellowships The National Urban league is announcing an additional fellowship which will be available in connection with its regular annual Fellowships for which application should be made before April 15th. This is the Mary C. Walker Fellowship supported by the Women's Prison association, and valued at $1,200 including tuition at the New York School of Social Work. This means that there will be seven fellowships available all valued at $1,200 each. COLORED MAN NOT MORE DOCILE THAN WHITES, SAGE FINDS Psychological Tests Prove Afro American Not At All Submissive That Negroes are not more submissive than whites is indicated by psychological tests conducted by Peter Cooper, and reported on in Social Forces for March. His article, states that he applied the "Allport" psychological test to men and women students, both white and colored, in their respective colleges. Mr. Cooper concludes from his tests that in the particular phase of personality covered, there are no racial differences. He says: "The really significant differences are within the white and Negro groups and not between them; in fact, the differences within the group are more than fifty times as great as those between the groups." A further interesting observation is the following: that this test disproves the traditional view that he Negro is innately more submissive than the white man. The results given above show that although the differences in the means and medians of the two groups are extremely small, nevertheless the slight difference in ascendance favors the Negro." Sproul Speaks To Howard Students WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Forum speaker at Howard university last Wednesday was the Honorable W. H. Sproul, representative from Kansas, who spoke on the subject, "Is Prohibition a Success or Failure?" Following the address several students asked questions concerning prohibition in the various states. The congressman expressed the conviction that prohibition has been a distinct success, and that there is not the least prospect of the repeal of the 18th Amendment, in spite of indications from the Literary Digest poll. It is hoped at some future to have a representative or senator speak at Howard university on the other side of the question. Students Plan Speech Contest At First Baptist The oratorical and declaratory contests given under the auspices of the Emanuel C. M. E. church will be presented Sunday afternoon, April 6th, at 3 o'clock. Contestants for the declaratory contest are: Velma Davis, Bernice Rogers, Benjamin Avett and Johnnie L. Mariva. Contestants for the oratorical contest are the Misses Rosa Davis, Katie Avett, Nellie Ward and Maude O. Jones of Chicago. Mr. Albert Simpson will be the only male contender in the oratorical contest. Selections will be rendered by the male quartet of the First Baptist church. There will be no charge for admission and the public is urged to attend. Father of Mrs. Grubbs Dies In Tennessee Word has been received in Gary of the death of Elder Allen Williams, the father of Mrs. Sally B. Grubbs, of this city. The deceased was a highly respected citizen among members of both races in the town of Franklin, Tenn., where he had resided all his life and had founded and pastored a church there. Funeral rites were conducted Monday. PUBLIC LIBRARY GARY, INDIA HOME EDITION PRICE THREE CENTS AYOR --- Million And Half To Be Given Jobs Building Roads State Announces Stupendous Program; See Relief For Army of Unemployed State road expansion in Indiana this year will place approximately $18,000,000 in the pockets of 1,500,000 people and go far toward relieving labor depression and any unfavorable economic condition within the commonwealth, Indiana state highway commissiners declared today. Furthermore, four and one-half million people will benefit more or less from this road building and maintenance program in which 500 miles of pavement are contemplated and slightly more than 5,00 miles of roads maintained. This direct benefit to individuals in form of wages for labor, supervision, etc., does not take into consideration money spent for materials like gravel and stone, steel, various aggregates, paint, machinery, equipment, et cetera, all of which occasions employment of additional labor in mills and factories operated by firms and corporations supplying highway needs, and likewise stimulates industrial and manufacturing activities. Neither does it consider the finished pavement providing improved overland transportation facilities, recognized as essential in modern civilization. Urged by Governor Harry G. Leslie 'to expedite its program in order to help absorb idle labor and to stimulate general business for economic uplift, the highway commission already has 315 miles of pavement contracted—200 miles more than ever contracted so early in any season in its eleven years' existence. CENSUS TO REVEAL PROGRESS OF RACE Facts Concerning Group To Be Obtained in 1930 Check; Cooperation Asked The taking of the Federal census started last Wednesday. The government on that day begin the stupendous task which it performs every ten years of attempting to count every man, woman, and child living in our country, and to secure certain general information about each of these citizens. No element of the citizenry is more interested or ought to be more interested in the census than the Negro. Whether there are ten million, twelve million, or fifteen million colored people in the country is a question which not only concerns our personal and racial well-being but which business, social and political students and authorities are deeply interested in. Are we one-tenth of the population? Is the Negro race increasing or decreasing? Is the Negro American's most unhealthy group? How much has our racial wealth grown these past ten years? It is possible to secure information of this sort amid a wide variety of other types specifically about the Negro, because the census gives racial designations and descents of various groups. This year even Negro business is to be enumerated separately. SHow Negro As Sapanite bf 8pt Tabulation of these facts while they set the Negro apart as a more or less separate entity at least afford the opportunity of making a careful study of this most interesting and different of American groups. It is important, therefore, interested leaders point out that everyone make certain that he or she is enumerated and that they give full and complete answers to all the questions asked. Not only will this aid in giving an accurate (Continued on Page 3) PRICE THREE CENTS DR. WOOD RAPPED FOR ASKING MAYOR TO SPEAK TO CLUB Action Called Ill-Advised In Face of Mayor's Reply to Our Petition Dr. Charles R. Wood, president of the Gary Noonday Business club, was under fire today as a result of his action in inviting Mayor R. O. Johnson to speak before members of the club last Wednesday at Stewart house. Johnson spoke before the club at the invitation of Dr. Wood, but members of the club were opposed to Johnson being invited following the insulting reply the mayor made to the petition calling upon him for adequate recognition of Gary colored voters. Wood was charged with inviting Johnson without consulting members of the program committee. "To invite the mayor in the fact of his insulting reply to our petition was like adding insult to injury," a prominent member of the club declared. "From now on," he said, "Johnson should be personna non grata as far as the colored people of Gary are concerned. He has proven that he is an eloquent ingrate, and unworthy of our consideration. Johnson's letter in reply to the petition was published in The Gary American last week. In the letter the mayor said: "Your letter, with petition attached, received. I did not even read the petition. I threw it in the waste basket." According to expressions made by many people, the action of the mayor in throwing the petition sent him in the waste basket" will cause him to get about two out of every ten of the votes he received last November when he runs for office again. Y.M.C.A. Activities Do Business Men Need the "Y?" How often one hears, "Oh yes, the Y.M.C.A. is a great place but I am so pressed for time." Nothing makes for greater efficiency than for the business man to get away from the ordinary cares of the office for a short period and relax completely. Play is necessary. Nothing is quite so stimulating as for a group of tired business men to "get together, play a game of handball or volleyball and let off steam, kidding along the fellow who makes an error and determining in his own mind that he will win the game. An hour a day, three times a week, or even less, will help to keep one physically fit. If this prescription is followed men will find out how easy it will be or them to go back to work and put the job over big with greater ease and a better disposition as a result if a good workout. Aside from the play and fellowship element, the health element enters also.

THE GARY AMERICAN Census to Reveal Progress of Race (Continued from Page 1) picture of our racial group, but it will enhance its comparative standing. The federal census now being taken is used as a reference for Negro population figures. Under the various city, county and state governments vital statistics are kept from year to year. The Negro ratio in relation to health or as it concerns crime for example is carefully and accurately chronicled. If all Negroes are not enumerated it gives an opportunity for the exaggeration of our proportion of crime in relation to our numbers, it makes our death ratios seem enormous. To this latter fact is due in considerable degree the heavy larger insurance rate which Negroes are charged. Insurance companies carry a dual rate to offset their belief that Negroes have greater morbidity than whites. Citizens need not be afraid to answer questions put to them by enumerators. There have been instances where colored house-holders have been suspicious and secretive when white enumerators have asked them questions which they regarded as personal. As a matter of fact, citizens are compelled to reply for a penalty may be exacted for refusal to give information or for giving false answers. On the other hand, census officials keep the information which you give them secret and no fear need be felt that the information will be improperly used. Census enumerators are not only sworn to secrecy, but may be imprisoned if they reveal your answers. Indications are that hundreds of colored enumerators will be used this year. Two colored supervisors are functioning, one in Chicago, and another in Philadelphia. Numerous col- SPECIALS A wonderful selection of men's shirts, hand tailored preshment.

To many manufacturers the name of their product is their fortune, a fortune which could not be amassed without the aid of advertising.

Below-When a fellow likely to find them fi happened below. Below—When a fellow knows how to "lovem up" he's likely to find them fighting over him. This is what has happened below, and incidentally, it's the sort of situation which Mr. Gauba says is the result of American morals running amuck.

From beginning to end this volume penetrates the opinions of all those who believe that America is an irreproachable "moral giant." Words are not muffled, and by no means does the author "spare the rod." With an intense, yet delightfully detached sweep, Mr. Gauba ploughs through the emotions, the conceit, the illusions and consumate hypocrisy of American civilization. rife among the present generation. It has remained for a stranger to take an account of existent conditions in America and disclose them to the world in an ingenuous, almost naively imperative manner. Mr. Gauba has taken a lusty fling at everything that America holds dear—at all of the American institutions—and will succeed, if there remain intellectually honest It makes no difference that he has drawn heavily upon one type of authoritative source, such as the "Revolt of Modern Youth." "New York Nights." "Sons of Sex" and "Prostitution in the United States." What has been obtained from these sources, has probably been too prudishly overlooked by complacently prosperous America. When stock crashes occur resulting in thousands of paupers, suicides and unhappy homes the entire country is alarmed. Yet, Mr. Gauba states that the United States has been crashing morally for many years, and if his book is read dispassionately the conclusion is compelling that the bankruptcy, insolvency and total failure of morality in America, is a reality which is far more serious than the occurrence of a stock-crash of recent dimensions every day. It should be borne in mind that authoritative book of the type mentioned above are based on experience. They are actual chapters taken from the life of young boys and girls in America. There is very little theory except that which has arisen out of the dreadful consequences of the sexual ignorance *Uncle Sham, by Kanhaya Lal Gauba, Published by Claude Kendall, 70 Fifth Ave., New York.

Mr. Gauba has taken a lusty fling at everything that America holds dear—at all of the American institutions—and will succeed. if there remain intellectually honest persons in this country, in breaking down much of the American hauteur and exploding much of the fallacious propaganda that has given rise to the popular belief that Americans are the world's most perfect people. A few of the chapter titles indicate the radical nature of the work: "K.K.K.," "The Negro," "The Virgin," "That Damn Lie," "Accidents Will Happen," "Fairies." Any one of these chapters are worth the price of the book. Each of them is racy, shocking, bold and fascinating. In chapter XV, President Hoover's "noble experiment" is called an "experiment in anarchy." This is an exceedingly apt description and indicates in no uncertain manner that the folly of the 18th amendment is fully as deplorable and disgusting as it is believed to be. In this same chapter, Mr. Gauba, who is also a lawyer of no mean ability, attacks the prohibition amendment from an unusual point of view. On page 205 appears the following passage: It is quite legitimate, therefore, to question, if liquor drinking is not a crime sufficient to warrant a law to forbid it, why the sale, manufacture of transportation of liquor should be an offence?" In other words why not make liquor drinking for other than medicinal purposes (if Mr. Gauba (Continued on page 5) --- True Stories Achievement Stories Believe It or Not—This Colored Boy Arranges Paul Whiteman's Music A short account of William Grant Still's remarkably successful career as a composer and musician. IN SPITE of all the wiseacres and fundamentalists who declare that the younger generation is going to the dogs, there are a few young people who are proving these declarations to be false.

He is recognized as one of the most expert arrangers of modern orchestra music.

Correct it with an alkali. The best way, the quick, harmless and efficient way, is Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. It has remained for 50 years the standard with physicians. One spoonful in water neutralizes many times its volume in stomach acids and at once. The symptoms disappear in five minutes.

It is only after one has had time to carefully consider his conversation THE FIRST WORLD TO BE BORN IN THE WORLD William Grant Still (on the left) and a friend in California William Grant Still (on the left) and a friend in California that the tremendous scope of his success is apparent. Or, maybe his attitude is due to something that had happened just before he was interviewed. To keep a business engagement, Mr. Still came in from Universal City, California. California roads are very tempting to the motorist, and Still was making a little more than forty miles per hour in a light roadster. As he brought his car to an abrupt stop in front of the Dunbar Hotel, a brand new tire blew out. "Gee, but I was lucky," he laughed rather nervously. "If I had been speeding, the car would have turned over and that might have been the last of me." When one has escaped serious injury or death, success is likely to appear rather inconsequental. Mr. Still is unique, and colorfully original, so he could easily become a great man. In California it is a rare thing to hear one mention one's birthplace, unless it is above the Mason-Dixon Line, without seeming apologetic.

Address The Phillips Co., 117 Hudson St., New York, N. Y. this, Mr. Still proved to be original. "I am a southerner," he informed me. "I was born in Mississippi. A few years later we moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, where my mother became a teacher of English in the schools of that city. After I started the study of music in school, I was always interested in writing notes. "I suppose that seems silly, for to most kids the study of notes is tedious and dull. But I enjoyed it. I suppose an author or poet could understand. Anyway, whenever I could, I scribbled notes instead of drawing caricatures, as most of the fellows did. "After finishing the schools of Little Rock, I entered Wilberforce University. Then I won the Oberlin scholarship in composition. Later I entered the New England Conservatory of Music, where I took special work under Mr. Chadwick. I have studied under Edgar Varese, a noted modernist and a very brilliant man. In France I continued my studies in musical composition." Aside from being an expert arranger, Mr. Still has attained international fame as a composer. His symphonic poem, "Darker America," has been given at Aeolian Hall in New York, under the baton of Eugene Goosens and has also appeared on the program of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. The Musical Courier, in commenting upon this composition, ranks him as "one of America's really great composers." Paul Rosam says that Mr. Still's work rates above that of Milhand Gershwin. His famed "Ballet La Guiablassee" was written for the Chicago Arts School. Ruth Page prepared the scenario. When the Crown Prince of Sweden was here, Still conducted a concert of Negro music for the entertainment of His Highness. For the excellent arrangement of the program he received a letter of commendation from Mrs. Borden, a former Vanderbilt. "Levee Land" is another composition by Mr. Still. It was introduced by the late Florence Mills, and has been presented in Germany and France. To quote the Musical Courier again: "These works are so good, healthy, sane—such good musical feeling—that they place this Negro composer on a high plane in the super-jazz field now in vogue." Three other songs, "Winter's Approach," "The Breath of a Rose," and "Goodnight," reveal extraordinary talent and fine technique. The words of the songs are from poems by Langston Hughes and Dunbar—two of the Negro's best loved poets. The New School for Social Research ranks him as "one of the six outstanding modernists of American composers." He has also been elected as a member of the Pan-American Association of Composers. There is a very small number of composers in this organization as the membership is exclusive and select. During the World War, Still was serving with the U.S. Navy and because of his musical ability, it fell to his lot to entertain the boys on board. "It is interesting to arrange orchestrations. To do so, one must be familiar with each instrument. One must have an ear for sound as a painter must have an eye for detail. One must be able to imagine just how each instrument will blend, because such work is largely one of creation. Out at Universal Studios I have my own bungalow where I can work without interruption.

Rod Herrick of Golden Arrow, Montana, has come to Chicago to enter the University. It is spring and he intends to earn enough money to enter school in the fall. His lawyer friend, Martin Thompson, takes him to a party given by Alderman Durant for his daughter, a very lovely girl named Lyla. Rod, being unused to the ways of society, treads on the girl's foot, and is insulted for his clumsiness by her fliance, Reggie. To avert trouble the girl takes him into the garden, where he tells her of his life, and a warm friendship springs up between them. Later, Lyla, Reggie, Rod, and several others who had attended her party go to the Swamp Hut, a cabaret where Reggie gets drunk and strikes Rod. Rod does not return the blow and Lyla thinks him a coward. However, she learns something different when Rod saves her from Wolf, who snatched her out of Reggie's arms. Wolf is a notorious gangster, and the owner of the cabaret. He attacks Rod and is knocked out. Several of his henchmen also attack the youth but he routs them just as the police stage a raid on the place. Rod manages to get the girl out of the place safely A manager of prize fighters named Kling was in the cabaret when Rod had his battle with the gangsters. He offers Rod a contract to become a boxer and Rod accepts in order to make enough money to enter school. At the gymnasium King orders Kelly, another of his fighters, to put on the gloves with Rod in order to find out how skilled Rod is. Kelly, afraid that Rod will replace him, tries to harm him, but is knocked out. That evening Rod goes to see Lyla. They go for a walk. It is a warm spring evening and they stroll over to the lake and sit on the beach close to the water. Rod tells Lyla of his love, and takes her into his arms. He becomes intoxicated with the fragrance of her hair and the softness of her body, and the girl averts embarrassment by making Rod come to his senses. He is contrite, but she tells him that as long as they have escaped unscathed there is nothing to regret. They walk back from the lake to the boulevard. Lyla asks Rod to go back to the beach and look for her pocketbook. When he returns to the boulevard, having remembered the girl had not brought a pocketbook with her, he sees her being dragged into a car, which speeds down the boulevard. He surmises Wolf has kidnapped her. For a paralyzing instant Rod stood staring at the fleeing car. Then whatever spell that held him was broken, and he was galvanized into sudden action. He started running after the machine at a pace which made the wind whistle past his ears. His one thought was to catch it, if such a thing was humanly possible. A block away the machine started swerving drunkenly from one side of the street to the other, as though the driver had released the steering wheel. Rod put every ounce of his splendid young strength into his legs, as he sought to take advantage of this momentary slowing up of the car. As the machine swayed dangerously near one of the curbings a scream floated back to Rod. Lyla's voice! Although he was making as much speed as a human could be expected to achieve, his pace seemed to him one of infinite slowness, and the scream he heard served only to make it more maddeningly slow. Then what Rod had feared, did happen. The car crashed into the curbing and up over the sidewalk, careening in a manner which threatened its overturn. However, it did not turn over, but with a screeching of suddenly applied brakes, came to a shuddering halt. The half block between himself and the car, Rod covered at a pace which probably would have broken some records, had anyone been on hand with a stop watch. As he neared the car, Lyla leaped out, closely followed by a man who sought to pull her back into the machine. The man seized the girl just as Rod reached them. Without an instant's hesitation the young Westerner leaped at Lyla's captor. His strong, young hands The Stormy C THE BOXING FIGHT In 1924 though Johnson had reached the age of forty-six the Montreal boxing commission, after a thorough examination, declared him fit for ring activity.

A quick backward pressure yanked him away from Lyla, and a deft twist of the arms turned him around to face Rod. Once, twice, three times Rod drove his fist into the other man's face. A spouting warm stream of blood leaped from his victim's nose. Through the mist of his rage, Rod could dimly hear Lyla shouting to him, calling his name. Then he felt her hand on the arm with which he was dealing the fierce blows. He shook her hand off with a heave of his powerful shoulders, only to feel both the girl's arms twined around him. LYLA TURNS ON ROD "Rod, Rod—please don't hit him any more Can't you see you are killing him? Please stop, Rod!" Lyla's voice was hysterical, and there was a note of keen terror in it. Slowly Rod released his grip on his opponent, who then sagged to the ground. Rod faced the girl slightly dazed. "Gosh, honey, I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to catch up with you—I—" "You are a big brute, Rod Herrick!" the girl blazed at him. Taken completely by surprise, Rod stared at her incredulously. "Why, Lyla, what do you mean?" "I mean just what I said—that you are a great big brute, always fighting. Now if you will be kind enough to pick Reggie up off the ground and help me to get him to a doctor, I will be very much obliged," she added coldly. "Reggie?" Rod echoed, amazed. "Why—why, I thought it was Wolf or his gang, and that they were kidnapping you—" "You thought! You THOUGHT!" she repeated scornfully.

"Honest, Lyla, I didn't," Rod protested. "While I was running after the car, I heard you scream, and I had an idea that—" "Yes, I screamed because Reggie had let loose of the steering wheel. He was driving by and saw me standing back there waiting for you. He "You're a sweet girl," THE BAR stopped and asked me what I was doing there. I told him it was none of his business. Then he dragged me into the car and drove away. He had been drinking. But after all, he would have done me no harm, and you had no business to beat him up like that!"

She had been in his life longer than any other woman and had enjoyed with him some of his greatest triumphs as well as suffered with him some of his greatest hardships. --- "Oh, please help me get him into the car. I'm afraid he's hurt badly." Without a word, and stricken at the concern in her voice, Rod lifted the other youth into the back of the car. Lyla waved Rod to the driver's seat, while she climbed in with Reggie, who had now begun to moan, and move a little. he told Zeda daringly. Rod drove swiftly, according to Lyla's directions, and soon pulled up in front of a large brownstone house, where Lyla commanded him to halt. He leaped out, and, opening the rear door started to help Reggie, who by now had regained consciousness, out of the machine. Lyla pushed his hand away imperiously. "Thank you, Mr. Herrick," she said icily, "but I don't think we will have to detain you any longer now. No.23 Drawn To --- Drawn by FRED B. WATSON Text by ROLFE DELLON FRED B. WATSON Today Johnson is an authority on boxing. He has a school of his own and his comments on the game are prized highly by all sports writers. His physical condition is remarkable in view of the arduous experiences of his life. There are no cauliflower ears, no battered nose or bruised countenance to indicate his years of supremacy in the boxing profession. A Reggie and I will manage to get along by ourselves." Rod stood rooted to the spot by hurt surprise. Then a dull anger surged through him. Wordlessly he turned on his heel. As he strode away, his rigidly held shoulders betrayed his state of mind. Lyla looked after his retreating figure for a moment. then her attention was claimed by Reggie's demanding what had happened to him. Lyla helped him out of the machine, supporting him as they staggered up the stairs to the doctor's home. "We had an accident. Reggie," she soothed him. "An accident." ROD DOUBTS LYLA The next day Rod was tempted to call Lyla, but his angry pride would not allow it. He could not yet figure out the reason for her sudden turning on him. Perhaps it was because the sight of him fighting had frightened her. But no, that couldn't be it, for had she not stood by while he battled Wolf and his gangsters in the Swamp Hut? And had she not even risked her life by leaping on Wolf when that one had tried to shoot him? That could not be it, he decided. Maybe she had become angry because she loved Reggie. Maybe that was it. But if that were so, why had she allowed him to make love to her, and had even told him that she cared for him? After hours of fruitless consideration of the problem, he finally came to the conclusion that she was merely fickle, and that she had just been amusing herself at his expense, because he was awkward and from the country. He wanted to believe that this was not true, but he could find no other explanation for her actions. Kling called for him at noon to take him downtown to the gymnasium. He quickly sensed Rod's morose mood. "What's the matter, Cowboy? You look like your lady friend had put the skids under you." Inwardly Rod winced under the truth of his manager's joking remark. However, he showed no sign that Kling had been near the real facts. "Oh, nothing's the matter," he laughed unconvincingly. "Just don't feel so pert today." "Don't you even feel like training?" Kling asked quickly. "Sure. I want to do some real work today," Rod replied, his eyes narrowing. "I feel like I could sock somebody for a row of icebergs." "Then I sure won't let you put on no gloves with any of my boys today." Kling said with feigned alarm. "I should have you beating up all my fighters! You will have to take your angry spell out on the heavy sand bag. That's good exercise. It makes you have strong wrists, and gives you power in your arms and shoulders, not that you need any more, though."

(Continued from Page Three) it left in its place an aloofness which gave his associates the impression that his mind was thousands of miles away from what he was doing. In the mornings he was up early and out in the nearby park doing what the boxers called "road work." Alternating between a slow jog trot and a walk, he managed every day to increase the distance he traveled, until after two weeks he was covering an average of ten miles every morning. The muscles in his body became leaner, and sharply defined. Now he was able to box ten fast rounds with his sparring partner, with no feeling of fatigue. Kling noted his progress with watchful eyes. His attention to his other fighters had not lessened—he was too good a business man for that—but anyone could see that his chief interest lay in his new bronze boxer. By now the newspaper men had learned who Rod was, and there had been several stories regarding Kling's new protege, in the sport section of the daily papers. One sports writer had christened Rod the "Bronze Idol"; another had called on his imagination to turn out a highly colored tale of Rod's life on the range, how he had been a professional cowboy, and how he had thrown steers TUBERCULOSIS Takes thousands of lives needlesly.

WILLIAMS 901 Bergen Ave. JERSEY CITY, N.J. U.S. Morals Attacked as Corrupt by Startling New Book (Continued from page One) will accept this modification) crime? Extending the prohibition law to its moral and logical conclusion it seems rather difficult to answer this question. Facetiously, one could reply that some trap hole had to be left for Congressmen who incidentally must be allowed their morning sip to stimulate their addled brains; or perhaps if liquor drinking were a crime, entire cities such as Chicago, New York, Baltimore and Washington would have to be placed under arrest and their city limits converted into jail walls. Frankly and confessedly it must be admitted that this would result in the incarceration of entirely no many 100 per cent law-abiding Americans. The fun that Mr. Gauba pokes at America on the so-called Negro Problem is ribald and, moreover, is a "study" in black and white. He states, "there are thousands of mulattoes all over the United States and not all mulattoes are born of Negro mothers." Well, if that isn't offensive to the moral giant then "Tom" Heflin loves Negroes. This devastating morsel of unrestrained revelation is alone sufficient to ban the book in Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and other "foreign countries." According to Mr. Gauba's inexorable reasoning (and who shall dispute him?) the southern lynching jamobree is an expression of the Ku Kluxers sexual inferiority complex. And poignantly enough, moral "giants" nor any other sort of giants, shouldn't have such inferiority complexes. While in the chapter on the Negro Mr. Gauba deals properly and logically with the treatment of the darkskinned Americans, in other places in the volume he discloses his own opinion. As an example, on page 145 of this volume appears the following: "Only abnormality in sex urge or other complexes of a serious character can account for the growing numbers of inter-racial liaisons. The liaisons are frequent. They are regarded in many quarters as one of the greatest menaces with which our white civilization is faced. The drawing for swarthy flesh is one of the new diseases of the modern age, and the foundation of racial bitterness." What does the author mean by "our" white civilization? Does he mean that by choice he has adopted the white civilization as his own? And does he mean that he was invited to adopt it? Since when did England invite her Hindu subjects as equals in the Anglo-American supremacy of the world? Any civilization that countenances the immoral practices which Mr. Gauba himself has so forcefully depicted in Ameri- AT THE FIRST SIGN OF A COLD Don't wait until a cold gets a grip on you before you begin treating it.

Pride of Mr. Gauba must not forget that his own flesh is swarthy. Consequently he must believe that the normal craving for his own flesh is a disease. It appears that the author's real attitude toward the Negro is identical with that of American white men. In characterizing inter-racial unions as menaces to white civilization, he speaks the prejudiced language of the notorious K.K.K., which he denounces elsewhere in his brilliant volume. It appears that Mr. Gauba's denunciation of America on the score of the Negro problem was solely to rhetorically point out the inconsistency of discrimination peonage and lynch law on the one hand and democratic ideals on the other. From the tenor of. Mr. Gauba's own personal beliefs as revealed in the chapter entitled, "Fruits of the Marriage Tree," were he the sovereign president of the not-so-moral giant he would enforce such a rigid observance of Jim Crow and segregation that hte "hours of delight now enjoyed in inter-racial liaisons" would no longer menace "his" white civilization. Other chapters of this work are equally as interesting as those mentioned here. It is a book filled with case histories, eye-witness accounts and newspaper reports of modern American life. Whatever may be said of the author's personal opinions, and his dubious reference sources, he has managed to accumulate a wealth of startling facts which America cannot ignore. Deep in the wilds of New Jersey lives a man of seventy-eight who has never seen an automobile. Well!

Maybe you figure you'll cause him some trouble if you are in his corner, eh?" he shot at the other fighter suddenly. "Say! Whatcha think I am, huh? A double crosser? I like th' Cowboy, and anything I can do to help, I'm gonna do it!" Kling slapped him heartily on his shoulder. "That's th' boy!" MARTIN GETS CURIOUS Since his trouble with Lyla, Rod had seen few people except those at the gym. At Kling's insistence he had changed his room to another section of the city. Even what the Wolf might do had ceased to worry him. The events in which the gangster had figured seemed like a half forgotten dream, until one day Martin came over to see him. "The Wolf's back in town," were his first words Rod chrugged his shoulders. "I didn't even know he had been away," he answered carelessly. "I just wanted you to know, boy friend. Don't get the idea that tough has forgotten you. He'll bob up one of these days and maybe take a shot at you." "What am I supposed to do about that?" Rod demanded. "Go hide my head in the sand, or something?" "Don't be too cocky, young fellow," Martin warned. "But what the hell's got into you lately, Cowboy Herrick? All you do is eat and sleep and run through parks and train, down at Kling's gym. What's happened to Lyla? I started to ask her, she seems so sad these days, but I reflected that it was none of my business. What's up?" "Why, nothing," Rod replied, a trifle too innocently. "Whatever made you think there was anything wrong?" "Well, you were all hot and bothered about Lvla a month ago, and now you never mention her. She was at a party with Reggie last night. His eyes are just now looking kinda human." "Did something happen to his eyes?" Rod asked, with even more innocence. MARTIN PLEADS FOR LYLA Martin grinned knowingly. "Aw, come off of it," he retorted. "You know darn well how he got his eyes blackened. However, he claims that he doesn't know who hit him. But I'll bet you could tell if you would." "Why," Rod declared, "I haven't seen Reggie in a long time, almost a month." "Yeah.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—April 5.1930 age that somebody beat her out of him," Martin pointed out significantly. "But about you and Lyla I'm going to talk to her for you." "You'd better not." Rod cried, rising from his chair. "Don't you dare do that, Martin. If she wants to hear from me she can look me up." "Aw, draw in your neck, Rod. What's the use of letting your silly pride cause any unhappiness between you and the girl? I tell you, she looks positively haggard, and I'll bet you are at the bottom of it." "Don't kid yourself, Martin. She has probably forgotten that she ever met me," Rod said bitterly. "I'll certainly never remind her of it." "You are being a fool, Boy Friend," Martin assured him earnestly. "Let's talk of something else," Rod said stiffly. "OK. How's the prize fighting coming? When will you make your ring debut?" Martin changed the subject. "I'm getting along fine. But—Well, I'm glad that I've got something to occupy my mind. Kling hasn't told me just when I'm to have a fight, but it will be soon. As he puts it, I'm 'ready.'" "What are you going to be doing for the next few hours." "Nothing. Kling told me to lay off today. He says I'm trained down pretty fine and he doesn't want me to overtrain. I'm to go downtown with him at four o'clock, and it's only noon now. What do you want to do?" "Oh, nothing in particular. Just thought you might like to drop in on a little afternoon party with me." Rod started to refuse. Then he smiled recklessly. "Why not? Let's go!"

"Call me Zeda, and I'll call you Rod," the girl commanded. 'OK, Zeda,' Rod obeyed. "I like you," Zeda told him matter-of-factly, as her long, blue eyes with their startling dark lashes swept over his bronze features. "Who's your girl friend?" "I haven't any girl friend," Rod told her, a slight frown shadowing his face. "That's fine," Zeda cried, seizing his hand, "because now you've got a brand new one. How do you like that?" "Gosh—you take my breath away!" the youth ejaculated. "That's what I'm supposed to do, little boy," Zeda laughed. Somebody was passing drinks on a large silver tray.

BRAZEN ZEDA When the two young men entered there was an immediate rush of girls around them. Many of them had been present the night Rod had fought the Wolf, and almost all of them had heard whispers of his romance with Lyla, and of its sudden ending. Their open admiration of him, and their warm friendliness, was soothing to his wounded feelings. Several of the men present also crowded around him with compliments for his fistic prowess. All in all, his entrance created a small sensation which he would have found exceedingly embarrassing a few short weeks ago, but which now gave him a pleased feeling of comradeship. The fact that since Lyla's party he had purchased suitable clothes, also added to his sense of composure ZEDA ENSNARES ROD After a while the crowd around them drifted away, as a tall, ivory colored girl with blue eyes, who had been introduced to Rod as Zeda Carlyle, had brazenly monopolized ```markdown ``` Vapo-Cresolene If and Whish You Sleep?

Zeda cried in amazement. "What kind of a man is this?" "Well, you see, I am in—in training," Rod explained uncomfortably. "In training for what?" "Oh, drink it honey, and quit stalling," Zeda commanded, as she took the glass out of Rod's hand and pushed it toward his mouth. In order to keep from spilling the liquid over himself, Rod opened his lip. Promptly the girl poured the larger part of the contents of the glass between them. Rod spluttered, choked, and leaped to his feet coughing. Zeda laughed gaily and cried aloud, "My sweetie's likker went down the wrong way!" The room echoed with laughter. "Zeda's got her a man!" one of the men yelled. There was more laughter. Zeda, slim and sinuously lithe, tumbled her crisp hair with a rougish gesture of her hand. "Yeah, and you'd like to be my man, too," she threw back. Again there was a gust of laughter. To Rod it seemed as though there was much more merriment in the room now than there was before. A feeling of warmth and happiness was creeping over him slowly, as the effects of the first drink he had ever taken flooded through him.

"And you're a sweet boy, except you are great big and I'm afraid you might eat me up like a bear." Zeda's voice was slightly blurred, and her eyes blazed wickedly. "Have another drink, sweetheart." Obediently, even a little eagerly, Rod drained what remained in his glass. THE PASSIONATE KISS Someone started playing the piano. Couples sprang hilariously into each other's arms and began dancing. Rod forgot his old bashfulness as he leaped to his feet, seized Zeda around the waist and whirled her out on the floor. He found that he could dance with a great deal of ease, and even with what seemed to him to be rather clever steps. With her arms tightly around his neck, her eyes closed, the girl clung to Rod closely, her warm red lips, slightly parted, dangerously near to his. When the music ended they were at the entrance to the hallway. Zeda opened her eyes, looked straight and long into Rod's face, pulled a little away from him, and taking his hand, led him toward the front of the house. Halfway down the hall the girl halted and placed her hands on Rod's shoulders. Almost savagely he pulled her into his arms. His senses swam as their lips met in a passionate kiss. The girl's hands clutched at his shoulders fiercely. Again and again he kissed her, until it seemed that his blood was on fire. Someone at the other end of the hall called to them jokingly.

Zeda, a strange look twisting her face, pulled him toward a room which opened into the hallway between them and the front door. At its entrance Rod took her again into his arms. LYLA APPEARS "No striking in the clinches!" a merry voice warned, as their hostess, a girl whose name Rod had forgotten, ran past them toward the front door. "Everything goes in this battle," Zeda cried as she threw her arms recklessly around Rod's neck. Over her shoulder Rod could see a couple entering the house. Whether the liquor had befuddled his brain, or whether his emotion rendered him careless, it did not occur to him to release Zeda. Then to his horror he saw that one of the newcomers was Lyla. She stood on the threshold of the door staring at him with wide, unbelieving eyes. He stiffened. His arms fell to his sides. He tried to step away from Zeda, but her arms clung to him. By now she too, had seen Lyla. She turned toward her and laughed insolently. "Come right on in," she called. "He's here—but he's busy!"
