No. 27 AMERICAN TOPICS Chats About This Paper's Readers, Advertisers, and Its Staff By EARL J. MORRIS He Likes Editorials Admiration of a newspaper's editorials is not always confined to its readers alone, but some times, every new and then, even an advertiser becomes impressed with a certain editorial appearing in a paper which he patronizes with his ads. Such is the case of Mr. W. A. Hungerford, advertising manager of Sears, Roebuck retail department store, 813 Broadway. Mr. Hungerford was particularly impressed after reading an editorial in The Gary American entitled "The Reaction Will Come." "I like frank, fearless editorials like that in a newspaper," he said when we called to pick up an ad. Mr. Hungerford knows, like all other experienced buyers of advertising space, that the newspaper with good editorials is most likely to bring results than one with editorials which neither move its readers or stimulate them to think along any line. In a trim, spick and span grocery store just a block from Broadway is to be found a man who in every way may be called a "real race man." Born amid surroundings which denote real wealth, he gave up the comforts of a home in Europe and came to Gary to live. As proprietor of the Community Grocery exchange, 1832 Washington street, he has been a regular advertiser in The Gary American for several months. So pleased is he with the service rendered and the results obtained that he is planning to use larger space in a campaign to inform the reading public of the advantages of trading at his store. His name is Charles L. James. In addition to operating the store, he is president of the Universal Negro Improvement association, and wields a large influence in all civic, social and political affairs. Everybody likes the man who pays his obligations promptly. For that reason, Dr. Reginald O. Mundin, prominent physician and surgeon, is one of the most popular men around The Gary American office. Dr. Mundin carries his card in the Professional Directory. At the end of the month, he can always be relied upon to come in promptly and leave a pretty green check. There ought to be more like him. Leading doctors and dentists of the country, are discovering it is much better to run their cards in the professional directory of the weekly newspaper than to parade around at churches and other places in an effort to make themselves known. n invent- buzzin Holmes To Speak To N.A.A.C.P. on Sunday State Senator Oliver Holmes will be the principal speaker Sunday at the regular meeting of the Gary branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at the Y. M. C. A., according to an announcement made today by John Kittrell, secretary of the association. A subject of current interest to Negroes in Gary will be selected by the speaker, according to the announcement. A violin program will be presented also by Eugene Powell, violinist, according to an announcement. Celebrates Her Tenth Birthday: Gets Cake To help her celebrate her tenth birthday anniversary, little Miss Mae Elizabeth Kelley invited five of her little friends to a birthday party given at the home of her parents, the Rev. and Mrs. Joseph Kelley, 2300 Broadway, Wednesday afternoon. Among the presents she received was a large birthday cake, sent by her grandmother in Paducah, Kentucky. She received many other beautiful and useful gifts. The following were guests: Minnie Wilson, Christine Slaughter, Henry Mae Wolders, Katherine Brown, Susie Moore. PUBLIC LIBRARY GARY, INDIANA The Gary American 'GARY AMERICAN' PRAISED BECAUSE OF PARKER CASE National Association Commends Newspaper For Publishing Truth About Judge Appreciation for the part The Gary American played in arousing its readers to unite in opposing the nomination of Judge John P. Parker to the Supreme court bench was expressed in a long letter received by the editor of The American today from Walter F. White, acting secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Declaring that "without the support given by The Gary American," the rejection of Parker could not have been achieved, the association commends the newspaper for publishing the truth about Judge Parker's anti-Negto utterances which the latter made in a speech while running for governor of North Carolina on the republican ticket. The letter follows: "At the first opportunity following the vote of the United States Senate rejecting Judge John J. Parker as an associate justice of the United States Supreme court, I am writing to express on behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and personally our deep gratitude to The Gary American for its invaluable aid in achieving this great victory. "Without the magnificent support of The Gary American, we could not have succeeded in stirring colored people of America and their friends to the activity which played so large a part in the rejection of this judge who ten years ago advocated flouting so far as Negroes are concerned, of the fourteenth, fifteenth amendments to the federal constitution. "Perhaps in more striking fashion than ever before has the Negro demonstrated that he is capable of determined, sustained and uncompromising insistence upon his citizenship rights. Notice has been served upon white politicians, north and south, that they no longer with impunity can indulge in anti-Negro statements and in base appeals to the lowest of race prejudice. "Again thanking you for your fine and loyal co-operation, I am,' "Ever sincerly "WALTER WHITE Acting Secretary: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." DR. PARKS CADMAN TO ADDRESS GRADS OF N. C. COLLEGE DURHAM, N. C.—With the securing of Dr. S. Parks Cadm n, noted New York divine, to deliver the commencement address at the North Carolina College for Negroes, preparations are now being made for the commencement exercises at the institution, marking the first annual exercises to be held at the college since the completion of the present building program.

GARY, INDIANA, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1930 Declares Task of Adjusting Families Is A Very Big Responsibility About a year ago, a young woman, spurred by an ambition to be of service to her people, left her home in Hartford, Conn., and came to Gary to do social work in the "Steel City." For the task she had in mind she had fully prepared herself. She had received three years of training at Fisk university at Nashville, and completed a course in sociology at the Pennsylvania School of Social Work, famed institution of sociology, the leading school of its kind in the country, higher even in rating than the famous department of sociology at the University of Southern California As a child, she had always evinced an unusual interest in people. People were her subject and became her most important study. Later, after finishing her course at the Pennsylvania school, she had performed volunteer work in various settlement houses in Hartford, in the Y.M.C.A. in Philadelphia, and in the Community house in Hartford. Today, this young woman is one of the most popular and most well-liked young women in Gary. She is Miss Rosalind Lawn, director of social work at the John Shaw Memorial Settlement house, Fifteenth and Mass- Miss Lawson came to Gary last September to fill the position left vacant by the resignation of Miss Juanita Gorham. Her work consists of organizing girl club community clubs and supervising the programs carried on by each. In Stewart's house well known program of social service, she has played a large part in administering to the needs of the people of the community, according to the Rev. Frank Delaney, superintendent. "The people here," Miss Lawson says, "are grasping the meaning of social work thru neighborhood clubs which we are organizing in the community. "My work is never tiresome, as there is always something new, and I find quite a bit of responsibility in re-adjusting families who come to us for assistance."

ROOSEVELT WINS MAJOR AWARDS AT TRACK MEET Holding their first annual Southern relays, Lincoln University of Jefferson City, Missouri, had in attendance twelve picked high schools of the south. Indiana and the north were represented by a single school—Roosevelt high of this city. Journeying to Missouri's capital with six carefully picked athletes, Roosevelt returned as victor by a large margin. Coach Cook's men garnered for themselves a total of 39 points, their closest competitor being Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a total of 19 points. In addition to winning the meet. Roosevelt received three of six silver loving cups and fifteen medals. Leslie Williams, the captain of the local track team, and Opal Courtney were the outstanding men of the meet. They received between themselves five gold medals, of which Williams received two and Courtney three. From the start of the meet there was never any doubt as to who the winner would be, as the famous Black and Gold of Roosevelt were out in front at the finish of well-nigh every event. Besides Williams and O. Courtney, the track team consisted of John Courtney, Eulis Williams, Clarence TO GIVE BENEFIT FOR SCHOOL BAND: SUPPORT IS URGED TO GIVE BENEFIT FOR SCHOOL BAND: SUPPORT IS URGED Effort To Be Made to Send Roosevelt School Band To Flint Contest A benefit dance to raise money to send the Roosevelt high school band to the national band contest in Flint Michigan, will be given Wednesday evening, at Labor hall, according to an announcement made today by James T.

Tickets for the function may be secured from any member of the band, or can be purchased at the Climax pharmacy; 1901 Broadway or at English's drug store, 2100 Washington street, it was announced. Looking Back To 2 Years Ago Looking Back To 2 Years Ago Old Files of Gary American Reveal Many Interesting Things Which Happened Celebration of the eleventh anniversary of the pastorship of the Rev Mitchell Coleman of Trinity Baptist church is being observed here by members of the congregation and their friends in a series of programs which will extend thru the entire week. All organizations are taking part in honoring the minister. Appreciation for the vote given him in his race to be nominated is one of the five representatives from Lake county, was expressed today by William W. Cooke, Gary architect, in a letter to the general public. Thomas J. Williams, 45, 2585 Jefferson, who was arrested Wednesday on a charge of opening letters in the U. S. mail, will be arraigned next week, according to government agents. Williams, a janitor in the main post-office at Fifth and Adams, admitted to post office inspectors that he had opened fifteen or more special delivery letters, resealed them and put them back in their respective places. A baby boy, just about three hours old, was found early Tuesday morning on the door steps of the Lake county children's home, Twenty-third and Jefferson street. No clue to the identity of its parents had been found by police at a late hour today. A safe weighing 300 pounds and containing 880 in cash and several articles of value was stolen from a pool built owned and operated by Charles Harris, 19 West Twenty-fifth avenue, Tuesday night.

New Cemetery Called One Of Finest In Region Mount Greenwood Cemetery Has Whereby Lots Are Given Perpetual Care Easily accessible to residents of Gary and East Chicago, one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the country is fast being completed in this section, according to an announcement made today. The cemetery is the Mount Glenwood cemetery, just fifteen miles from Gary, and near Thornton, Illinois, just across the state line. It is situated in the heart of the state forest preserves, and surrounded on all sides by the most ideal natural resources, according to R. C. Cupp, district sales manager of the cemetery. According to a unique plan of operation, the cemetery is one of the few in the nation where perpetual care is given individual graves in season and out of season. The lots in the burying ground, according to Mr. Cupp, are sold thru an attractive financial plan which enables the buyer to make a small down payment and get the deed to the property, and then complete the purchase by simply setting aside a small amount monthly. Interest in Mount Greenwood has been exhibited by many individuals as well as churches and organizations in Gary, according to Mr. Cupp. Last week, the members of Mount Olive Baptist church, of which the Rev. A. Taylor is pastor, purchased an entire plot in the new cemetery. Additional information concerning the project can be obtained through R. O. Cupp, district sales manager, phone Gary 4-2209. GARY AMERICAN URGES CITIZENS TO AID SCHOOL Ask Support of Roosevelt Band In Effort To Compete In Flint Contest AN EDITORIAL The Negro citizenry of Gary in general, and the Roosevelt high school of this city in particular, are justly clated over the success, last week-end of the Roosevelt high school concert band under the direction of Elmo V. Roesler. The popular local organization by taking second place in the district band and orchestra contest held in Gary qualified to enter the State band contest. In this latter contest, held at Elkhart, Indiana, our band again placed second and now enters the national band contest which is scheduled to take place at Flint, Michigan on May 22, 23, and 24. In addition to winning second place, the band was ranked third in appearance in the parade which wound up the contest, and William Hargrove, Roosevelt High School senior, was declared by the judges to be the best drum major in the state of Indiana. In this parade twenty-six bands from all parts of the state participated, led by as many drum majors. These are the naked facts, but this is certainly one of the occasions when a mere rehearsal of what took place is felt to be woefully inadequate. A bit of interpretation, a word or two of comment, are plainly needed. We were not at all surprised at our boys taking second place (they would take first in their class, we believe, if instead of fifty-two they had a score or more pieces); but we were pleasantly surprised at our band winning third place in appearance among twenty-six bands, all of whose members were white; and we positively were almost swept off our feet when we learned that William Hargrove, a Negro lad, was chosen first among the twenty-six HOME EDITION Price 3 cents 24 GOLD STAR MOTHERS DECLINE JIM CROW VOYAGE 24 GOLD STAR MOTHERS DECLINE JIM CROW VOYAGE Decide Not To Accept Offer of U. S. As Protest of Segregation NEW YORK—Twenty-four colored Gold Star Mothers to date have written to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in response to its request, enclosing signed petitions to President Hoover as commander-in-chief of the armies of the United States, asking that he order the abolishment of color segregation on the pilgrimage of mothers to graves on European battlefields, and failing that, declining to go on a Jim Crow pilgrimage. The N. A. A. C. P. has also protested to President Hoover the War Department's decision that there be separate but equal accommodations for colored mothers, urging him to overrule this disposition of the matter. In the letter to President Hoover the N. A.A.C.P. says in part: "It was our hope that it would not be necessary for us to take up this matter with you, but repeated protests from white and colored individuals, many of them of great prominence, including governors and members of congress, and from organizations among them the N.A.A.C.P., have resulted in unequivocal statements from the War Department that it will segregate Negro Gold Star Mothers." REQUESTS GOLD STAR MOTHERS TO REFUSE JIM CROW National Association Makes Appeal To Women to Not Take Trip Offered by the U.S. NEW YORK. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, is today sending to all colored gold star mothers listed, a letter accompanied by a protest addressed to President Hoover against the color segregation imposed by the War department on the pilgrimage to their sons' graves in France, the protest to President Hoover concluding with a refusal to make the journey if the color bar is adhered to. The N.A.A.C.P. in its letter to the gold star mothers cites the War department's statement that "colored mothers and widows will receive equal accommodations, care and consideration as furnished the white women making the journey, although groups of colored mothers and widows will be formed." The form protest sent the colored gold star mothers for them to send to President Hoover says in part: "Ir the years which have passed since death took our loved ones our anguish and sorrow have been assuaged by the realization that our loved once who rest in the soil of France gave their lives to the end that the world might be a better place in which to live for all men, of all races and of all colors. "Ten years after the Armistice, the high principles of 1918 seem to have been forgotten. We who gave, and who are colored, are insulted by the implication that we are not fit persons to travel with other bereaved ones.... We appeal to you as Chief Executive of our nation and as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, to issue an order abolishing this unjust ruling. "If you as President of the United States refuse to abolish this ruling, we respectfully decline to make the trip to France, preferring instead to remain at home and retain our honor and self-respect."

We hope that this is an indication of the dawning of a new and fabled day in this region of the United States, when a man will be a man—"for a' that'?" So much, then, for the event, and what we fondly hope is its significance. A word now about our duty with regard to the Band and the school of which it is a part. We are informed by officers of the Band that it cost $100.73 to send the boys to Elkhart, and that every penny of this money was raised by devoted members of the faculty and the equally devoted student body of the school. No appeal was made to the community for funds to defray any part of the expense. Now the organization and the school are faced with a much larger outlay, as much larger is Flint is farther away from Gary than Elkhart. Are we going to let them shoulder the burden alone again this time? Or are we going to let this magnificent opportunity lapse to send worthy boys of this great Steel City to the National? Manifestly not. All Garn, without regard to race or color, should get solidly behind this movement to raise the money to send the Band to Flint. White citizens should support our boys because, if for no other reason, their success has demonstrated beyond the shadow of any possible doubt, that money spent for the education of Negro youth is a most worthwhile investment. And we are glad to announce that numbers of white fellow citizens have come nably forward and pledged their support. Grateful as we naturally are for this act of generosity on the part of our white friends, it seems to this paper that the Negro citizens should feel it especially up to them to raise this money for our Negro boys. Charity ought at least to begin at home. For there is no getting away from the fact that the achievement of the Band in the last analysis redounds in a larger sense to the honor and the glory of the Negro race.

There was a part of small-town merchants to give rise of the larger places. This led some to be afraid to increase stocks, to curb the people were going to the cities in the past year or two the small-towns in the prices of city stores on many items that these items could be sold lower by profit. It proven true in many places and parties were among the first to see the advance town has. Consequently, in many cities coming to see in the Gary stores go city stores have them marked. It tendency to look at the home display the fact that our merchants and business newspaper more than ever before to call us. It is that we are all getting wise to the transaction by dealing with some folks. Convention in this for all of us, if we stop to the business men—in a real sense—make perfect way make the whole countryside pay or any other small town off the map is worth less as a farm, and much less agency to buy at home is apparently grown, wherever the people are served by real Gary. Changes coming to the American's tax too, and the reason seems to be just anywhere as prevail here. All roads have not ruined the small town our merchants and our people how much handled in the small town with its form of rents and labor costs. The day of the small town is here. There was for a time a disposition on the part of small-town merchants to give up to what was thought the lure of the larger places. This led some of the small-town merchants to be afraid to increase stocks, to cut off the lines in which it appeared the people were going to the cities to buy. But within the past year or two the small-town merchants have found out that the prices of city stores on many items were high—so high in fact that these items could be sold lower by the small-town merchant at a profit. This has proven true in many places and particularly in Gary. Gary merchants were among the first to see the advantage in low overhead the small town has. Consequently, in many different lines the buying public is coming to see in the Gary stores good items priced lower than the city stores have them marked. And this tendency to look at the home display is made more common by the fact that our merchants and business men are using their home newspaper more than ever before to call attention to their goods and prices. The fact is that we are all getting wise to the fact that we can have more satisfaction by dealing with some folks. There is a wonderful satisfaction in this for all of us, if we stop to think about it. The local business men—in a real sense—make the town better and in an indirect way make the whole countryside a better place to live in. Take Gary or any other small town off the map and every farm within 10 miles is worth less as a farm, and much less as a place to live. The tendency to buy at home is apparently growing stronger all over the country, wherever the people are served by real business men, as is the case in Gary. The exchanges coming to the American's table are all well filled with ads, too, and the reason seems to be just about the same conditions everywhere as prevail here. The good roads have not ruined the small town—they have simply shown our merchants and our people how much lower the same goods can be handled in the small town with its lower overhead charges in the form of rents and labor costs. The Story Of Steel The Story Of Steel and medieval times steel was the syn almost entirely in the manufacture of has become an instrument of public s road transportation was deemed dange In ancient and medieval times steel was the symbol of war and was employed almost entirely in the manufacture of swords and kindred weapons. Now steel has become an instrument of public safety. Once railroad transportation was deemed dangerous due, largely, to the ghastly wrecks of wooden trains. This led to the adoption of all-steel safety coaches in 1905 by one progressive railroad. Now they are used on all major lines. The first steel ocean steamship was made in Scotland in 1858. The first use of steel as a defensive armor in naval warfare was the historic battle between the Merrimac and the Monitor during the Civil War, which proved a vital factor in preserving the Union. Following that, whole fleets of steel ships, for both commercial and naval purposes, were built. In recent years steel has been applied to the most modern of all forms of popular transportation—the automobile. The all-steel body is an integral safety factor in cars of all makes and all price classes. Extensive tests have proven that this type of body can withstand shocks and strains that would shatter wooden bodies. And in these days of high-speed cars and highway congestion, wise motorists insist on the safest and best construction in their automobiles. Once the instrument of war—now the protector of lives and property. That, briefly, is the history of steel GOOD WORK Promptly Done When You CALL GARY 7571 A call brings one of our courteous drivers to your door for your soiled clothes.

Telephone growth is essential to the new American civilization of better opportunity for the average man. The Bell System employs more than 400,000 workers, is owned by 450,000 stockholders, and serves the people of the nation. Every day the Bell System is extending its lines to more people.

Streeter, with six other youths, joined the hiking contest, which is being sponsored by the National Memorial University, of Dayton. Ohio, and backed by the wealth of an anonymous person. Equipped with rifles, heavy boots large shoulder packs and water canteens the young men started out from Tin City in the northern part of Alaska, then separated. Negro Member Alone With his faithful dog, Jupitor, Streeter struck out upon the snowbound trails of Alaska and headed south toward Canada. It was a long, long walk, but he got used to it this endle tramping, this building of little fires in the snow, this tramping through the wilderness with rifle in hand in search of wild game to broil, this eating in solitary loneliness, then packing and "creeping" along through the deep snows again, the dense flakes so blinding at times tha. he could see only a few feet ahead. After what seemed to be an eternity—a matter of many months—Streeter arrived at the Yukon River, crossed it, then kept "creeping" south through the wilderness until he was a hundred miles away from civilization. His First Great Thrill It was in this forest that Streeter experienced the first of his many thrills. He, with Jupitor battling the train a few yards ahead, was threading his way through the giant trees when suddenly his dog grew stiff—stood stock still; then he broke loose in a spasm of barking. At the same time a series of uncanny howls transformed the regions immediately forward into a veritable inferno. Streeter's reaction was to rush forward and secure his dog by the collar. lest he plunge headlong into trouble; next, he unstrapped his gun and waited quietly. Wolves—angry wolves. That was the answer. A dozen or so of their black forms came into view just as he leveled his gun. and half hid themselves behind as many trees. A man and a dog against a pack of hungry wolves. Picture yourself cornered in some deserted alley by a score of mad dogs and you will appreciate what Streeter was up against. Kills Wolves They kept closing in, sneaking, one by one. . . Pip, pip, pip! The lone hiker aimed and pulled the trigger—pip, pip, pip! The foremost of the animals staggered and slumped into the snow with a yelp. Another dared to take his place, yet the ones to the rear hesitated then when the brave one, too, velped and staggered to the snow with a hole between his eyes, they retreated slowly at first, ten pairs of black eyes mirroring a mixture of contempt and awe that was almost human. Then they were gone! Streeter, a praying man, thanked his God. His dog went over and sniffed at the two fast cooling bodies, then struck out across the snows before his master. barking frantically.

The DARK KNIGHT A Smashing Story of Brown Love and Thrilling Intrigue by WILLIAM T. SMITH Talented Negro Writer Rod Attempts to Trap the Wolf in order to Clear the Way for His Marriage to Lyla The Wolf Cornered him. Kling tells him that their share of the money from the fight may amount to $35,000. After leaving the gym, Rod calls Lyla. She begged him to come to see her at once. She tells him that she must marry Reggie, b ause his father and her father are all tangled in an affair with Wolf, and that if her father incurs the banker's ill-will, it will disgrace him. Pod declares that she will not marry Reggie and starts to leave after threatening that Wolf may have to settle with him. As Rod tells Lyla that something serious is liable to happen to Wolf, after she tells him that she must marry Reggie in order to save her father from disgrace, the Alderman steps into the room. He warns Rod that he must not interfere in his affairs. Rod tells him definitely that he will not allow Lyla to sacrifice herself for even her own father. After Rod leaves, Alderman Durant tells her that the only reason Wolf has not harmed Rod again is because he asked him not to and tells Lyla of Wolf's attempt to take her friend "for a ride." She promises to marry Reggie, and her father sets the following Sunday for the wedding. Rod makes his way to the office of the federal agent whose interference saved his life the night Wolf tried to kill him. He tells the agent that he wants to get Wolf out of the way, and that he is sure Wolf ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` SYNOPSIS 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 by fall. His lawyer friend, Martin Thompson, takes him to a party given by Alderman Durant for his daughter, Lyla. Rod, unused to society's ways, treads on the girl's foot and is insulted for his clumsiness by Reggie, her flance. To avert trouble between the two, she takes Rod into the garden where he tells her of his life in the West. A warm friendship springs up between them. Later, Lyla, Reggie, Rod, and several others go to the Swamp Hut, a cabaret, where Reggie drinks too much. He strikes Rod who fails to return his blow. Lyla thinks Rod is a coward, but she lea's different when he takes her from Wolf, a notorious gangster who had snatched her from Reggie's arms while they were dancing. Wolf attacks Rod and is knocked out. Several of Wolf's henchmen also attack the youth but are routed just as police raid the place. Rod is able to get the girl safely out of the place. The next night as he leaves her home after having spent the evening with her, he is kidnapped by Wolf and his gang, who take him out of the city in their car. They tell him they are going to kill him, but he is saved by federal agents who are laving in wait for bootleggers. As manager of prizefighters, Kling, who was in the cabaret when Rod fought with the gangsters, offers him a contract to become a boxer, and Rod accepts in order to make enough money to enter school. At the gymnasium Kling orders Kelly, another of his boxers, to put on the gloves with Rod, in order to see how skilled his new fighter is. Kelly, afraid that Rod may replace him, tries to harm him when they get into the ring, but Rod knocks him out. That evening Rod goes to see Lyla. They go for a walk to the beach. He tells her of his love and takes her into his arms. Intoxicated with her nearness and softness, he kisses her hungrily, but she averts disaster by begging him not to spoil their friendship. They leave the beach, and as they reach the sidewalk, she discovers that she hasn't her pocketbook. Rod runs back after it and when he returns he sees her being dragged into a car. A half block away, the machine crashes into the sidewalk and Rod is able to catch it. He finds Lvla's abductor is Reggie, who has been drinking heavily. However, Reggie's identity is not known to him until after he has beaten him severely. Lvla, for some reason which he does not understand, becomes angry at him and after they take Reggie to a doctor, tells him to go away. As the days pass, Rod trains faithfully and sees no one except the other fighters in the gym. He does not try to see Lyla. One afternoon, his friend, Martin, takes him to a "tea party" at a young society girl's home. There is much gaiety at the party, which Rod soon discovers is caused by free drinking of liquor. He meets a seductive looking girl named Zeda, who makes him take a drink—the first one in his life. Under the influence of the liquor, he kisses Zeda in the hallway of the place and looks up to see Lyla entering. Zeda laughs triumphantly and, pulling Rod into the room, slams the door. Rod goes to Kling's office, where his manager informs him that, in two weeks, he to fight Mickey Latzo, chief contender for the middleweight championship. They go to the office of the Arena's manager, where the contract is signed, several newspaper reporters being present. When they leave the place, two of the reporters accompany them. At one of the city's busiest corners, a truck carrying a number of steers, crashes into another machine. One of the animals breaks loose and charges madly across the street. Rod, trained on the range for just such an emergency as this, leaps out in front of the beast as hundreds of people watch in fascinated horror. Directly back of him are a number of small children who will be crushed by the enraged steer unless Rod is able to halt its terrible charge. Rod leaps aside just in time to avoid the charging steer, then after the fashion of the West, he succeeds in "bulldogging" the animal by twisting its neck so that it falls to the ground. That night he is awakened from sleep by kisses, and by soft hands stroking his face and hair. At first, only half-awake, he dreams it is Lyla, but Zeda's voice brings him to the consciousness that she has come into his room while he slept. She tells him that when she wants a man she "gets" him. Being a normal youth. Rod gives in to her wiles, and returns her kisses and embraces. A more serious development is avoided when Martin, Rod's lawyer friend, arrives. Zeda hides in Rod's closet. Martin brings the evening papers which contain Rod's picture and the story of his exploit. Finally he goes, and Zeda emerges from the closet dressed in Rod's bathrobe, her dress in her hand. Rod stares as she throws off the robe, disclosing her lovely form in sheer silk garments. She holds out her arms to him, and he walks slowly toward her. Zeda has come to Rod's room unannounced, but is forced to hide in a clothes closet when Rod's friend, Martin, arrives. After Martin leaves she emerges almost unclothed, but Martin, suspecting her presence, returns unexpectedly. She is furlous, and slaps his face, then leaves. Martin explains to Rod that he doesn't want to see him mixed up with the girl, as she has been involved in several ugly scandals. Kling comes to get Rod in his car the next morning, taking him to the gymnasium where Rod trains before a large audience of fans, who, having read of his heroism in the papers, are anxious to see ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—May 17. 1930 "Wolf stood like a trapped animal." sells liquor in his cabaret, the Swamp Hut. The agent gives him a badge showing that he is a member of the prohibition department, and they arrange to raid Wolf's place Saturday night after Rod's fight. When he leaves the office, he bumps into Wolf. Wolf asks Rod what he is doing in the Federal building. Rod laughs and makes a flippant reply which enrages his enemy. Wolf shoves his hand into his pocket, and pointing his gun at Rod, is about to shoot as Rod taunts him. An instant before Wolf would have fired, a man emerges from a washroom near them, and, seeing him, Wolf walks away hastily. After waiting a few minutes Rod leaves the building but does not see his enemy. Rod goes to Kling's office and tells him that he wants to buy a car. Kling sends him to his brother, an automobile dealer, where Rod chooses a lowswung, grey Stutz roadster. Rod is tempted to go to Lyla's and show her the machine but he decides that until he has gotten Wolf out of the way he will not even call her. The day of the fight approaches rapidly. Saturday night. Rod goes to the Arena with Kelly, his stablemate, where shortly afterward he is called to the ring for the big fight. The vast crowd, the bright lights over his head, and a sort of stage fright daze Rod so that before the sound of the gong announcing the beginning, of the first round has died away. Latzo knocks him flat on the canvas. The referee counts to eight, and he has not yet risen. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER XI I By now Rod's head was growing clearer. In a lightning-like instant he realized that unless he regained his feet by the time the referee counted ten he would be counted out—would lose the fight without ever having struck a blow! The roar of the crowd now was like the voice of a blood-thirsty mob. As his eyes began focusing properly, Rod could see Latzo standing in a neutral corner, smiling down at someone at the ringside, confident that he had scored a knockout over the Cowboy fighter. "Nine," toiled the official's voice. Rod's splendid young strength came to his rescue. Before the referee could utter the fatal "ten," the bronzed youth scrambled quickly, if ungracefully to his feet, where he stood swaying drunkenly. Latzo's eyes were not on his quarry, so confident was he that Rod was completely out. A warning shout caused him to look back into the ring, where he beheld his victim upright, if patently unsteady. Latzo was a seasoned veteran of the ring. Instead of dashing madly over the canvas at his adversary and 3 A launching e wild hail or blows in the effort to beat him back to the door, he glided carefully to him. Measuring Rod quickly, he feinted with his left hand toward Rod's stomach, then launched a flashing powerful blow for the youth's law. Rod saw the blow coming and stepped back just enough to make it miss. As Latzo came in. Rod clenched and held on fast. as his strength and senses returned. The multitude of voices which filled the arena with deafening noise yelled hysterically for a knockout-for blood. Latzo glanced appealingly at the referee who stepped in between the two men, parting them When Latzo dashed again at Rod, however, he found not a fighter on the verge of a knockout, but an elusive, swiftly moving foe, who, although he did not counter with blows, evaded them with uncanny ability. ROD'S COME BACK As it became apparent that Rod had mad, what seemed to be an almost miraculous recovery from what appeared to be a certain knockout, the crowd settled down to watching the contest, with only occasional shouts from those who were disappointed that the proceedings had not ended when Rod was on the canvas. Once when they clenched in Rod's corner, the youth looked down to see Kelly's face strained and pale while tears frankly rolled down Kling's cheeks, although at the moment he was smiling. He seemed to be crying and laughing all at the same time. As his glance met Rod's he made a motion of applause with his plump hands, and nodded encouragingly. When the bell sounded and the fighters sprang apart to return to their corners, Kling's voice, hoarse with emotion, came to Rod. "You're doing fine. Cowboy. Don't let a little thing like a knockdown faze you! You can beat that guy! Why, when you got up he couldn't even lay a glove on you. But stay away from him till you feel all right." Rod nodded that he understood. Kelly was working over him frantically. First he had doused the youth with cold water, wiped his tongue with a wet sponge, and now he was busy massaging his thighs and legs. "Feel OK?" he asked anxiously. "Yeah." Rod growled, as he drew deep lungfulls of the smoky air into his lungs. The bell for the second round clanged. Rod slipped off his stool swiftly and met his opponent in the middle of the ring. Feinting rapidly, he landed two solid punches to Latzo's body, then danced out of range. ADVICE FROM KELLY The crowd roared its approval. Latzo lunged in angrily, ripping a vicious uppercut at Rod's chin. Rod stepped back just enough to cause the blow to whistle harmlessly by then stepper in with a left hook to his adversary's stomach, which caused him to flinch. Latzo, however, was not easily hurt. He did not give an inch when Rod landed but started shooting body punches as fast as he could swing his arms. Again Rod danced away. Throughout the round Latzo plunged doggedly after his opponent, taking as a reward many hard, clean smashes to the body. When the gong clanged again, signalling the end of the second round, the crowd loudly shouted its approval of the furious milling. "You can take that guy now," Kelly whispered, as he tilted a water bottle for Rod to rinse his mouth. "Try his jaw with that right cross of yours like you did me!" Rod nodded "I've been laying off his jaw just so I could get over that one punch" he panted. Kling stood at the side of the ring stroking one of Rod's legs. The tears were gone from his face now, and there was a smile of happiness in his eyes. He squeezed Rod's leg affectionately. "I knew you could lick this guy, Roddy," he shouted. "I knew it!" But Latzo was not licked yet by far. He came charging out of his corner with both fists swinging. Rod met him in th center of the ring. and to the vociferous delight of the crowd. swapped punch for punch with him. When they broke away there was a puzzled look in Latzo's eyes. He began boxing cautiously. It was evident that Rod had hurt him more than he had hurt Rod. LATZO KAYOED Rod lel with a snake-like right to the face then flashed a resound- Continued on Page Four THE DARK KNIGHT Continued From Page Three ing left hook to his adversary's body. Latzo bent double for a second, then backed away barely in time to miss a sizzling right uppercut which Rod launched. By now Rod's opponent was patiently slowing up. Rod danced lightly in and out, ostentatiously, pretending to be trying to land a punch in Latzo's body. Suddenly he shot his left hand with dazzling speed at Latzo's solar-plexus. Involuntarily the other fighter dropped both arms in an effort to evade the dangerous blow. When he thus relaxed his guard. Rod sent over a fast right to the jaw. and as Latzo staggered away, leaped after him and sent another crushing blow to his head. Latzo's eyes glazed. His body sagged in the middle, then his knees crumpled. He tumbled to the floor on his face, where he lay inert, obviously knocked out. The spectators went wild. Seat cushions, hats, newspapers came flying through the air as the referee began the unnecessary count. When it was finished Kelly and Kling were in the ring dancing around like two maniacs, so that Rod had to pull away from them in order to drag Latzo, who was still unconscious, to his corner. For a few minutes such pandemonium reigned that police interference was required to restore the crowd to order. Jubilantly. Kling half led, half dragged Rod to his dressing room where he promptly shut and locked the door. "Boy, what a sock, what a sock!" he exulted, as he did a little jig step around the room meanwhile lunging playfully at Kelly and at anything else he could find. Kelly made Rod lie on the rubbing table while he went over him with swift hands. Rod looked up with a happy smile. "You betcha!" he ejaculated. A FEDERAL AGENT There was a peremptory knock at the door. Kling did not want to be disturbed "Whaddya want?" he shouted. "Open the door! I want to see the Cowboy!" a voice returned. Unwillingly Kling opened the door. The Chief of the Federal agents strode in. Seeing Rod, he went to him and shook his hand heartily. "Great fight. Kid," he congratulated. "Glad you won. Are you all set," he looked around the room cautiously, "for tonight?" "Sure," Rod told him. "Soon as I get my clothes on." "What's all this?" Kling demanded suspiciously. "If you think you can get my boy away from me you might as well forget it. I got a contract on him and—" "Aw, wait a second, brother," the Federal agent admonished as he flipped his coat to display his gold government badge. "Is the Cowboy in trouble?"

TANLAC WITHOUT EQUAL FOR STOMACH AND LIVER TROUBLES Nurse Gives Remarkable Endorsement Tanlac may seem miraculous in its action to millions who ended stomach, liver and kidney troubles as well as rheumatism, pains in the back, sides, joints and muscles from its use—but the truth is every drop of Tanlac is a strong potent medicine while most other remedies are weak and ineffective. Mrs. B. Piccord, a nurse with many years' experience, is one who ought to know. She says, "In 10 years active nursing have found Tanlac without an equal as a remedy for stomach and liver troubles, and I can certainly promise people wonderful results in view of my long experience with this medicine. I had stomach troubles for years, could eat scarcely anything without suffering, never any appetite, always nervous and run-down. But as soon as I began Tanlac it started to build me right up. All stomach troubles were routed and never any pain, distress or gases since. Now I eat everything with perfect safety."

Kelly insisted on accompanying Rod to the Swamp Hut. News of who Rod was, and of his sensational victory had preceded him. Men crowded around his table anxious to meet him. None of the Federal agents whom Rod recognized were in sight, but he supposed that they were scattered around the place at various tables. Rod patted his breast where reposed unseen the gold prohibition badge giver him by the agent. Wolf had not appeared yet, so Rod merely rdered a meal for himself and Kelly. ROD'S SHARE OF THE RECEIPTS The place was filled with revelers, and for a while the attentions showered on Rod by many of his suddenly acquired admirers made him forget his purpose in coming to the Swamp Hut. Dancers filled the polished square dancing space. Rod remembered the last time he had been in the place, and with wonder reflected on the things which had happened to him since then. In his pocket reposed a neat package of bills representing his night's earnings to the amount of twenty-six thousand dollars. He had requested his part in cash, but when Kling had given him the money he had counted it with unbelieving eyes. "All this money for —for just the little fighting I did?" he questioned his manager. Kling smiled broadly. "Sure, Kid. and I've got my cut out of it already. But that's not the thing. That twenty-six grand you made tonight is not a drop in the bucket to what you'll make when you get to be champion." "I've been kinda thinking I want to get out of the game. Mr. Kling." Rod had told him. "but all this money sort of changes my mind. I want to go back out in Montana for a while, anyway." "That's OK." Kling had assured nim heartily. "You deserve a good rest, my boy. While you're gone I'll cook up a good match for you—a tune-up maybe for the champ, since you're bound to get the next fight with him after the way you licked Latzo." Rod was remembering this, and trying to decide what he would do, when Kelly called his attention back to his surroundings. "Look, Rod" he exclaimed. "Who's that tough looking bird givin' us the once-over?" ROD BLUFFS THE WOLF Rod looked up and into the leering eyes of Wolf, who stood, immaculately garbed in an expensive tuxedo, staring at him with a puzzled air. "I did give you credit for having some sense." he growled at Rod, "but you've either got a lot of guts, or no brains." MARY C. "Before taking Lydia E.

Following him were his personal servants, Somalis with their curious braided waistcoats and white robes; then came Zanzibaris, with their blankets, water bottles, ammunition belts and guns; stalwart Soudanese soldiery with dark gooded coats, their rifles on their packs and innumerable straps around their bodies; Zanzibari porters bearing iron-bound boxes of ammunition, to which were fastened axes and shovels - the whole making a marvelous picture of the new order that had come to the distant Southland.

Ward earned his name of "Mayala Mbemba," i. e., 'The Wings of the Eagle," for having once accomplished the journey from Kimpete to Lukungu in one day-a distance of forty miles, over a wearisome and fatiguing road. Ward found the tribesmen who inhabit the cataract region to be careless and indolent beings,—a condition which was undoubtedly due to the enervating tropical sun. He would come upon them gathered in groups in the market place or in the doorways of their huts. basking in the sun the livelong day, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he could rouse them to the slightest exertion when he needed their aid in the work of an expedition. While at Bwende he marveled at the display of copper necklets and ring rings and bracelets by the darkskinned beauties on market days. They were very fond of having Ward sketch them in the fullness of their adornment and they would wait with the utmost patience their turn to pose. Later he learned that the copper that they displayed so lavishly formed originally part of the copper tubes that had been started over the hills for the steamer that was being put together at Leopoldville. It appeared that the porters had found the copper a very enticing metal and they had been exceedingly anxious to view its lustre in conjunction with their dark complexions.

X X Remarkable Interpretations of African Jungle Life Continued From Page Four found approaching their homes with delight to the welcoming caresses of their wives and children; or they may be found with patient gaze regarding the strange surroundings of the white man, in his mud-built house and listening politely to his ridiculous attempts to express himself in native tribal language, helping him with he needed word and supplying the many gaps by timely smiles of encouragement. His most pleasant recollections of his life on the Upper Congo recalled little gatherings when the spear and shield were laid aside at the doorway and young and old natives congregated in the shade of the rough veranda to listen to tales of modern civilization. At such an hour all was serene and calm; canoes with fishermen, or hunters returning from the chase of the wild pig, would glide noiselessly in and out of the deeply shaded channels. The silence that reigns everywhere is unbroken until at first faintly from the distance, and then swelling louder, the rich, wild song a party of ivory traders returning, their big canoes gay with piles of red cloth topped with wide-opened multicolored umbrellas, floats into the sheltered veranda and mingles with the hum of laughing voices The blue sky and bright sunlight without, seemingly made to light up the bronzed features and rows of white teeth of the women carrying water from the river, combine to make a scene of peaceful beauty that powerfully influences the beholder. Unconciously the stranger, gazing on the smiling faces around him, forgets the tribal customs and disease that have too often injured them; forgets, too, his distant home with its cold gray sky; and feels for the moment one in sympathy and accord with the human beings who surround him. The explorer took with him on his trips a little music box that was advertised to play one tune, "Home, Sweet Home." The various tribes listened with delight to the tinkling of the tiny instrument, nudging one another. They would gaze at the wonder-working instrument with widely opened eyes, in astonishment and delight, as they covered their open mouths with their hands. The apparently innate love of music was aroused within them, and their bodies would sway, serpent-like, in cadence with the tune. It is customary among the Upper Congo people to stamp their features and persons, by means of scars, with various designs, according to the tribe.

After some months have elapsed, so that the wounds may be completely healed, they are re-cut and each gash is filled with redwood powder. After frequent repetitions of this barbarous mutilation, the skin and flesh become hardened and protrude in lumps. between the incisions. One of Mr. Ward's most striking pieces of statuary portrays a group of three, called "The Fugitives.' A mother is shown in great distress, hurrying along with her little boy and her infant child. She is frantic to escape from the Arab slavers whose boats have been sighted coming down the broad river. The incessant booming of the distant wardrums adds to her distress. On one of his trips down the Congo Mr. War's party was mistaken for a band of Arab slavers. As they drifted past a thickly wooded island, they encountered several canoes filled with armed men, whose spears and knives flashed in the bright moonlight. These natives howled with rage and then followed for a long distance, uttering their shrill war cries. The women uttered piercing screams as they snatched their children and rushed to the shelter the forest. In one of the friendly villages Mr. Ward observed that the chief was of a particularly picturesque appearance, so he started to sketch the warrior. Hundreds of natives crowded around the artist and his subject, almost excluding all air and light, but not a sound did they utter. Immediately after finishing the portrait he embarked and left without a word, to the surprise and intense mirth of the multitude, who had continually poured in from their huts to see the strange pale-faced man. It seemed to tickle them greatly, this strange action in first inviting their chief to be seated, then sitting opposite to him without saying a word, and engaged on what, to them, appeared to be something very trivial and finally, when they all thought the critical moment had arrived, coolly walking away without even a parting word. As they realized that the stranger had "done" them in some way or other, their wonder gave place for WOMEN only Why worry about delayed periods from unnatural causes.

Highly effective is Mr. Ward's figure of the old guide who vigorously maps out on the sand the course that the expedition took. He traces the windings of the shadowy river, pausing to make most emphatic the exact points at which the clashes occurred with ancestral tribal foes, where the cozing hippopotamus overturned the boats or where the choicest tusks were obtained. Of equal interest is the figure of the patient river dweller who is crouched down while he whirls rapidly between his outspread palms the dry stick that is soon to furnish nim with the much needed fire. The figure speaks of sinewy strength and endurance; the face has assumed the expression of what may be termed scientific expectancy. The figure of the Idol Maker shows the skill of the sculptor in portraying concentrated attention. The worker is seated on a ledge of rock and every muscle is strained to the task in hand—that of shaping a typical idol from a block of wood that is held in position by the carver's right leg, which is thrown over it. Both hands direct the primitive tool that is shaping the body. It is easy to imagine the reply of the carver when asked by some loafer what he was making. "I'm altogether too busy," he would growl. "to answer such foolish questions." Fortune Tellers' Globes for CRYSTAL GAZING IF YOU WANT Money, Love, Easy Life SUCCESS STARS OF "HALLELUJAH" ENDORS Lucky Boy!

Two other men who also seemed under the influence of liquor got up from their tables and came across the room toward where Rod sat. KELLY LEARNS THE GAME "What the hell's the matter with you, Rod?" Kelly asked. "What's the idea in waving your dough around like that? And furthermore, I want to know what's the idea of your ordering liquor. I didn't have any idea that you were a drinker. With the start you got tonight, you can be champ in a couple of fights. Why take a chance on that kind of a break by sousing a lot of liquor in a joint like this?" Rod laughed. "You just don't understand, partner. I'm here for a purpose tonight, beyond fun." He leaned closer to Kelly and whispered. "I'm acting as a Government agent tonight, and when this fellow comes back with my liquor I'm going to arrest him." "But what's it all about?" Kelly persisted. "Sh-h-h." Rod hissed, as Wolf appeared bearing openly a bottle of whiskey, which he slung by the neck as he strode arrogantly through the crowd. "All right big boy, here's your liquor. I'll take the dough. Let's have it." Rod peeled off one of the bills from his wad of money, and handed it to Wolf. Wolf shoved it in his pocket with a sullen smile. Rod stood up and faced him. He threw back his coat and displayed the gold badge which nestled on his breast. "That little bottle of whiskey, Mr. Wolf," he said grimly, "will probably cost you a stretch in the penitentiary." Wolf started back in amazement. Then he laughed contemptuously. "What th' hell you tryin' to pull off, you big hick? Who gave you that pretty badge to play with?" "The United States Government." Rod snapped back at him. "and you're under arrest, believe it or not." THE PLACE PICKETED Wolf exploded in staccato harsh laughter. "Lissen to the little fella rave." he chortled. "He's been smokin' hop and he's havin' a pipe dream!" He shoved his hand into his pocket suggestively. "Lissen, you dumb cluck, you crossed my path once and got away with it. Now you're fool enough to try it again. Well, you can't put it over, see? I'm gonna ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—May 17.1930 burn you down right where you stand." The hand in his pocket moved, showing the outline of a gun pointing directly at Rod's heart. Kelly started up from the table. Wolf shifted the gun on to Kelly, then suddenly his expression changed. His hand crept slowly out of his pocket. as a voice commanded. "Reach for the sky buddy. This is a pinch!" In various parts of the place men stood up and with drawn guns commanded the patrons to keep their seats and make no outcries. The two men who had come across the floor toward Rod's table now, on a signal from the man who had trailed Wolf when he got the liquor rushed through swinging doors into anot' r room. Wolf stood like a trapped animal, his eyes darting from side to side seeking escape The Government agent behind him reached into Wolf's pocket and extracted a wicked looking pistol, then deftly searched him for other weapons. Finding none, he drew a bright pair of handcuffs from his pocket and snapped them onto his captive. "I gues that'll hold you for a hot minute." he observed, drily. Then to Rod "We'll just hold everything like it is until my men come out of this bird's bar. We've got to have more evidence than this quart of liquor. and I think we'll find it there." FIND DOPE PEDDLERS. TOO At that moment the three men emerged from the swinging doors, dragging a scared pasty faced youth behind them. One of them carried a bulky package. The other two held an assortment of liquors. The man with the package rushed up excitedly. "Made a much bigger catch than we figured on" he cried. "This bird's not only a bootlegger—he's a dope peddler, too, and probably the head of the local dope ring." Wolf cringed visibly. The man holding him captive prodded him with his gun. "Let's get these bozo's under guard in the car, men," he said, "then we'll come back and do a little searching around and see what we find." "Pretty good job, young feller," a voice at Rod's elbow said. It was the chief of the dry agents. "The finding that dope in this bird's joint will get him at least a ten-year jolt in Leavenworth. That suits you, doesn't it?" "You bet!" Rod said heartily. can't get very excited over it. When I tell you my news, I guess you won't be so happy, either." "What are you talking about?' Rod barked at her. "I'm going to be married tomorrow." the girl said "at twelve o'clock. at my house." She listened for a reply which did not come. then she slowly replaced the receiver. Whatever Rod might have said was never uttered, for at that moment a steely pair of arms held him helpless, and a heavy cloth was thrown over his face. He felt himself being roughly dragged out of the booth. PICTURE YOURSEL Pluko WHITE Improved HAIR DRESSING Price 50¢ PREPARED ONLY BY The Pluko Company MEMPHIS, TENN. AND NEW YORK, N.Y. U.S.A.

It is something that is sure to please. The coffee should be made double strength and served in demi-tasse with or without sugar. Of course, it should be hot. For years it has been the custom in the South to send demi-tasse to the rooms of guests at the time they arise. They drink the strong, fragrant beverage and are ready for more at breakfast. Recently the prebreakfast demi-tasse or "coffee-cocktail," as it is sometimes called, has been adopted by a number of hotels and railroad dining cars. - S i ea 2 ti © = _ = s as
