23 KILLED AS STORM SWEEPS ARKANSAS Trial of Bishop Carey Continues To June 18 "Interest, Character and Substance" News while it is news—and a complete Illustrated Feature Section with every issue of this paper. The advertiser is William Jackson, manager of the Superior Remodelers, 2138 Broadway. When Mr. Jackson started advertising in The Gary American, he occupied a little store not more than twelve by eight feet. It was, in fact, hardly more than "a hole in the wall." He continued his advertising in The American. The business office never had trouble in collecting from him. By varying his appeals and by offering a service at a very low price, Mr. Jackson slowly began to find his business growing. From all sections of the central district, work came in for him to do-suits and dresses to be cleaned and pressed, garments to be remodeled, and clothes to be patched. The ad brought customers from as far as Twelfth avenue on the north and Twenty-seventh avenue on the south. Mr. Jackson says so himself. He used no other form of advertising except the four inch space he carried regularly in The American. Today Mr. Jackson occupies one of the largest cleaning and pressing establishments on Broadway. From front to rear, the place is lined with work to do. He employs two assistants. Such is one of the romances to be found every now and then in business. And such, indeed, is proof of the fact that a small advertisement, run regularly in a newspaper of large circulation, is the greatest power on earth for producing sales and building up business. Our Chronicle Reporters If there has been anything which has contributed to the success of The Gary American it has been its friends in all parts of the city who see to it that this newspaper gets news which it otherwise would not have. These people, when ever an accident or murder or suicide occurs in their neighborhood, never fail to get on the phone, and "tip us off" of the fact. The same thing is true with their social news. When ever a neighbor leaves town, these friends of The American call the newspaper and advise us of the fact. They are the "unofficial reporters" of The American. Their help is incalculable. VOLUME III. No.28 'FRENCH' LINE DENIES COLOUR BAR ON SHIPS Steamship Company Fails to Affirm Report That Negroes Jim Crowed NEW YORK—In response to a communication from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People the French line, compagnie generale transatlantique, has disavowed a statement of one of its agents who said colored people were not accepted as passengers in tourist third class on the French Line steamships. The statement was made by H. A. Highman, General Agent for the Line in Boston, to F. Irvin Davis, a ticket agent of Hartford, Connecticut, who was inquiring for accommodations in behalf of Mr. Wilson a colored teacher of music. When the case was reported to the N. A. A. C. P., Walter White, acting secretary at once asked the French Line concerning this reported color bar, reminding the steamship company that he himself had travelled on their ships as had many other colored people. In reply, Paul Cortanay, assistant general passenger manager of the French Line, wrote in part: "In this connection we wish to state that the Compagnie Generale Transatlanticque does not discriminate in color. For your information, we give you the following facts: "On the 'De Grasse' which left this side on April 23, we had a colored theatrical group totaling forty-five, in Tourist Class. "On our 'Mexique,' September 4, 1929, as well as our 'France' sailing from the other side September 11, we carried a party of seventy-five people. "Also from here last May our S. S. 'France' we carried the entire Blackbirds Troupe." The N. A. A. C. P. has asked the French Line to inform its Boston agent of its policy. CLIMAX INSTALLS A NEW FOUNTAIN Equipped with nine pumps and the latest system of electric refrigeration, a new soda water fountain has been installed in the Climax pharmacy, 1901 Broadway, of which J. C. Powell, is proprietor. The new fountain, known as "the Stanley Knight" was installed, according to Powell, to take care of the demands following the increase in his volume of business. A novel feature of the fountain is its automatic glass and dish washer which automatically washes, sterilizes and drys dishes and glasses. BUILDINGS FOR INDIANA FAIR Woman's, Agriculture and Horticulture Buildings To Hold Larger Exhibits The agriculture and Horticulture Building at the Indiana State Fair Grounds is being remodeled in preparation for the extensive displays at the 1930 State Fair, which will be held this year from August 30 to September 5. In the past years it has been found that there was not adequate space for displaying to advantage the exhibits which increase in number and size each year therefore, the Indiana State Fair Board is having this building enlarged to meet the demands. When finished, it will probably be one of the finest buildings of its kind to be found on any state fair grounds The same is true of the Women's Building. Last year there were many club exhibits and others that it was impossible to display, due to the lack of space to take care of them. This year it will be possible to give each and every exhibitor the necessary space to display his exhibits to advantage. The Woman's Building will now be in a class by itself, a building not to be equalled on any fairground. The total cost of remodeling the two buildings will be around $60,000. This amount will be taken from the profit that has accumulated during the past few years. Entertains Here THE WEEKLY NEWS Out-of-town friends of Mrs. Margie Woodfolk, above, were entertained with an informal affair last night, at which many of Gary's popular social set, both young and near-young were present. Mrs. Woodfolk was declared a very gracious hostess. American Topics Chats About This Paper's Readers, Advertisers and Its Staff Proof of The Gary American's ability to produce sales for advertisers and enable them to grow from a small beginning to operating a big store on Broadway is indicated in the experience which one small advertiser had in advertising in the Gary American. Parker Rejection May Cause Republicans To Lose Their Power New York—Control of the United States Senate, now in the hands of the Republicans, may be affected by the fight over the Parker nomination, according to a Washington correspondent of the New York Herald-Tribune, an administration newspaper. The article as summarized by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People states that "Republican prospects for keeping a working margin in the upper house have not only not been helped but they have been weakened. This is frankly admitted by the Republican chiefs who are to have most to do with the conduct of the campaign." Among the danger spots for Republicans, the Herald-Tribune cites West Virginia, where Senator Guy D. Goff stood by the Administration and supported Judge Parker; Ohio, where Senator Fees and McCulloch both supported Parker, Senator Fees conducting the defense of Judge Parker on the floor of the Senate; and Deleware where Senator Hastings defied Negro leaders on the issue of Judge Parker's nomination. In Kansas, the correspondent reports the senatorial primary may be affected by Senator Allen's support of Parker. WORLD'S FAIR WORK STARTS WORLD'S FAIR WORK STARTS May 27 With the work of excavating for the foundation of the administration building of the Chicago World's Fair having been started on May 16, plans for the formal ground breaking exercises to be held on May 27 are now being formulated, it has just been announced at the exposition headquarters. The building, which is the first to be started in the construction program of A Century of Progress, will be located on the lake front's Outer Drive, with its main entrance facing the plaza which runs east and west between the Field Museum and Soldiers Field. Because of the contour of the land at that point, the structure will be two stories high on the west and three stories on the side facing the lake. It is highly probable that after the fair the buildings will be added permanently to the cluster of architectural jewels which already adorn the lake front, the South Park commissioners having already indicated a desire to take it over for use as their own administration building. Other structures within a stone's throw of the new building site include the Field Museum, Soldiers Field, the Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium. The ordinance passed by the South Park board giving the fair the right to use its land was formally accepted by Rufus C. Dawes, president of the exposition, early last week. On Thursday, Charles S. Peterson, vice president of the fair, signed the contract awarding the first construction job to the J. B. French contracting company. The Administration building will be approximately 340 by 120 feet and will be constructed mainly of materials having a salvage value. The exterior of the structure will be a combination of the portland cement and asbestos board screwed to wall stud. On the inside of this wall will be gypsum board. The walls will be filled with insulating material blown in with a gun. The cellings will be of the same materials as the interior walls. The building will be heated by gas. The roof will be a metal ribbed roof deck covered with an insulated C Alonzo Parnam, right, has missed his last chance to remain at West Point and be graduated as an officer from the world's most famous military institution.

ROOSEVELT TO GIVE CONCERT School Orchestra To Be Heard in Recital Next Tuesday The first annual concert of Roosevelt high school will be held Tuesday evening, May 27, at the First Baptist church. The high school glee club will sing a cantata entitled "The Wreck of the Hesperus." The orchestra will play selections by Mendelsson, and Shubert, and other master composers. Professor W. V. Potter, who is sponsoring the concert, arranged two selections which the orchestra will also play. They are, "The Negro National Anthem" and "Deep River." There will also be violin solos, trios, and piano solos by the talented students of Roosevelt high school. The orchestra, which consists of 50 pieces is considered one of the best high school orchestras in the country. The community is urged to attend and encourage these students. LAWYER DEFINES DUTIES OF CITIZEN IN N. A. A. C. P. MEET Carrying out its aim to provide a speaker of interest at each meeting, the Gary branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, fringday invited Attorney George Rose, prominent lawyer, to speak to members and friends of the organization. Senator C. Oliver Holmes, who was scheduled to appear, was suddenly called out of town and could not be present. Taking as his subject, "The Future American Citizen," Attorney Rose told his hearers that some of the responsibilities of the American citizen of the future would be to take active interest in law enforcement, seek to reduce poverty among the masses, and assist in making his community a better place to live in. The N. A. A. C. P. meets every third Sunday in the month. According to Rev. J. W. Kittrell, talent for the programs at each meeting will be selected from the very best obtainable in the ciy. The only woman ever to run for president of the United States was Belva Lockwood, who ran in 1884 and 1888 as the candidate of the Equal Rights party. "The Literary Digest says the world does not rotate steadily, but wobbles. Anybody who has ever been seasick has noticed this," says the Southern Lumberman. No Such People "What are diplomatic relations, pop?" "There are no such people, my Miss Rosalind Lawson to Direct Presentation At Froebel Hi To raise funds to send fifty Gary girls to a summer camp in Michigan this summer, plans were being made today for the presentation of an amateur minstrel show, "Community Comedies," which will be given Thursday night, May 29 at Froebel school auditorium. Presenting no small amount of wholesome fun and merriment, the amateur show will furnish many exhibitions of tap dancing, as well as some wise-cracking, and good singing, according to Miss Rosalind Lawson, director of social work at the John Stewart Memorial Settlement house. Miss Lawson is acting as sponsor of the affair. Principal parts in the show will be played by Katie Monroe, tap dancer; by Silas Burgess, who is described as having a good tenor voice, by two boy comedians who are said to be both clever and original in the person of Lieutenant Perry and Newlin Gilbert. Three other boys who have gained quite a bit of popularity in the city due to their ability as tap dancers, will also appear in the performance. A girl's chorus of nine girls will supplement the remainder of the program, according to Miss Lawson. The affair is being sponsored by the Collegians club of the city in an effort to raise sufficient funds to send a group of fifty girls and young women to a summer camp in the state of Michigan, which is opened annually for Gary girls. LILLIAN GISH IN TALKIE ROLE Practically all of the biggest motion picture stars have been heard on the talking screen. There are very few left who have not spoken but one of the greatest of these few is Lillian Gish. It is with pleasure that the United Artists Theater presents her in "One Romantic Night," her first all-talking feature. United Artists have surrounded her with a cast worthy of her greatness as the latest of talking stars. Appearing in support are Rod La Rocque, Conrad Nagel fresh from his impressive work in "Divorcee," Marie Dressler, star of "Caught Short" and O. P. Heggie, never to be forgotten for his King Louis of "The Vagabond King." "The vegetarians say that animals living on a vegetable diet are strong and tractable, while the meat eating animals are ferocious. The most ferocious man I ever saw was a vegetarian who had eaten a caterpillar with his, lettuce," says Dr. Morris Fishbein, a noted physician.

BISHOP CAREY'S TRIAL SET FOR EARLY IN JUNE Case Continued Because Counsel Absent; Sons Appear in Court Special Despatch to ..... The American CHICAGO — Because his legal council could not be present to represent him, the trial of Bishop A. J. Carey, high A. M. E. church official, was continued until June 18 by Judge Otto Kerner, Monday. Carey is charged with conspiracy to use his position as a member of the civil service commission to obtain money from applicants for civil service positions. When arraigned in court, he was accompanied by his two sons, Madison and Archibald junior, the latter a divinity student. Continuance of the case was asked on the ground that Bishop Carey's lawyer, former Senator James Hamilton Lewis, is in California and will not be able to aid in Carey's defense until about the middle of June. Other counsel in the case will be W. Smith and Milton Smith. Believed Innocent Opinion as to Bishop Carey's innocence varies. Many of the staunch personal supporters of the A. M. E. church dignitary declare that the charges leading to his indictment are all part of an effort to remove him from public life. The bishop has been severely criticized many times for taking a part in politics, and holding a political office. For the past several years, Carey has been identified politically with the political faction headed by Mayor William Hale (Big Bill) Thompson. His present post as civil service commissioner was given him thru an appointment made by Mayor Thompson. Bishop Carey has sought to defend himself against the criticism directed at him by replying that his position as an A. M. E. bishop is one phase of his work, while his position on the civil service commission is quite another. In speeches he makes before church audiences, he frequently answers his critics by quoting from a Biblical passage to substantiate his position. GOOD ROADS AID TO EDUCATION The value of adequate highways as an aid to education and the elimination of hardship and ignorance is reflected in the fact that there are more than 42,000 school buses throughout the country, carrying nearly 1,300,000 pupils daily, according to Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. "The school bus came into existence by virtue of good roads," Mr. Hayes pointed out. "No one can calculate the benefit of these vehicles. Formerly, children in the rural sections walked long distances to and from school, often in inclement weather which was prone to cause sickness. When the elements were at their worst, the children could not venture out and fell behind in their studies as a result. "The annual cost of school bus service is slightly more than $30,- 125,000. Virtually all of this expense is met by general school funds, derived from various taxes. These buses cover routes 425,750 miles in length, and serve 16,525 schools. "Indiana, with 6,111 buses in operation, easily leads all states in this respect. Nearly 150,000 children are carried daily over routes totalling 85,109 miles, and the annual cost to the state is nearly $4,000,- 000." MOTHER OF MRS. T. C. WILLIAMS IS DEAD Mrs. T. C.

AND ARKANSAS Storm Spends Fury Upon Towns in Southwest; Damage Is High From the Day-Leased Wire LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 24 The death toll in the Arkansas tornado was increased to twenty persons today, all colored, as relief workers set themselves about to take account of the damage left in the wake of storm and flood. 125 Are Injured Twenty colored people are now known to be dead following the tornado which struck Elaine, Arkansas, near here, and one hundred and twenty-five others are injured, while three are known to be still missing. One section of the state is overrun with flood waters, with more than 3,000 homeless and property damage amounting to thousands of dollars. Many small towns, camps and other places have been inundated as a result of the flood. The water spreads over an area of fifty square miles in the south Arkansas oil fields, while the Red river bottoms of southwest Arkansas were rapidly being submerged as hundreds of residents fled. According to estimates made following the tornado, more than one million dollars damage has been wrought in the Arkansas oil fields as a result of the storm. Red Cross workers and members of the national guard first answered the cry for relief, and established refugee camps with medical supplies, tents, cots and blankets for the homeless. The storm and flood spent its fury on a whole section of southwest Arkansas and Texas. Rivers in the latter state are reported swollen. A section of East Waco, in central Texas, is reported to be threatened by the rising river waters. Stretches of state highway roads and railroad tracks have been cut off near Texarkana, Texas, bridges have been stepped away, while hundreds of homes lived in houses on the looms. have been forced to leave their homes and flee to safety.

The storm gathered suddenly and spent its fury upon many sections in Southwestern Dallas county. It was a part of a storm which brought death and havoc in its wake in Arkansas and other portions of the Lone Star state. At Somerville, Tenn., eight other persons were injured as a result of the tornado which swirled through the business section of Somerville, causing a property damage estimated at $85,000. WOMAN DEAN FETED AT H. U WASHINGTON---Speaking at the regular chapel service Sunday morning, May 18, in Andrew Rankin chapel, Dean Thursa W.

Monday, Dean Amos held conferences with groups of students after which she was entertained by the senior girls at tea. "Blondes blush more than brunettes, according to a scientific investigator. But that doesn't necessarily mean that blondes blush such an awful lot," says the Florence (Ala.) Herald. It is estimated that about 2 percent of the population of the United States are menally defective, that is more or less lacking brains, and that this 2 percent produces one-fourth or one-third of our total prison population, so that, as a matter of fact, there are many more criminals drawn from the mentally defective classes, in proportion to their percentage of general population, than from the rest. THREE CHOIRS.

M. Hill, the senior choir under the direction of Mrs. Ivoretta Brown, and the B. Y. P. VU. Choral club, directed by Mrs. R. i. Ashcraft. Mr. Thomas L. Jackson, who is sponsoring the music festival, says that the contestants will be judged impartially, and each choir has a fair chance to win. The junior choir is composed of the students of the Sunday School, ranging in ages from 8 to 15, and according to Mrs. Hill, the directress, they are sure to win. The senior choir and the B. Y. P.

Miss Natalie Sumner Lincoln, edi- tor of the D. A .R. Magazine, re- ports the discovery of a rare stamp tentatively valued at $10,000. The stamp, one of a provisional issue by postmasters in 1845, was found by Miss Lincoln on a letter written to her father, Dr. Nathan Smith Lin- coin, by his uncle, Dr. Nathan Ry- no Smith of Baltimore in 1848. It is & white oblong sticker on which is printed in black letters at ihe top, “James M. Buchanan,” and be- neath it “10 cents.” There are two London firms which still own 2,250 and 1,600 hor- ses respectively.

That is 18,492,500 fewer ac- res than were necessary for this purpose in 1920. Had the automo- bile and tractor not so largely dis- . placed the horses and mules, and had the use of horses and mules increased as the population has in- creased since 1900 (at that time we had one horse or mule to every 3.08 persons) there would have to be now 107,162,500 acres under culti- vation to feed them. Intelligent management of thi home forest is now of recognized importance in the farm schedule of many regions, says the Forest Ser- vice United States Department of Agriculture. The farm requires timber for building and repairing as well 4s wood for fuel. Trees are needed on farms for the pro- tection of the soil against erosion, for the shelter of livestock and crops against dry winds of summer und cold winds of winter, and for beautifying the farmstead. Many game animals and various kinds of birds that aid the farmer in con- trolling insect pests, find food and shelter in the woods. Good woods management requires knowledge of the use and commercial value of of different kinds of trees, methods of cutting for improvement of the stand, and methods of protecting the woods from fire, according to the Forest Service.

Neither does it have anyone to punish; it has but one aim, to which it will cling with pious devotion, ‘and that is to stand squarely in defense of the rights of the black American.”—Prospectus of The Gary American No. 1, November 10, 1927. MR ca 8 Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. The most successful men are not necessarily the ones noisily attracting public attention. The best and most ful women are not the bright butterflies of fashion on the stage, whose press agents incessantly flaunt their pic- tures and their petty doings before the public. - The unlauded men and women who are quietly attend- ing to their own little duties, every day contributing some- thing substantial to general industry, prosperity and pro- eg rearing children in habits of useful work and right iving and supplying examples that elevate the moral an intellectual level of their little communities—these are the men and women of rel influence and power. * — Success is theirs in the fullest measure. : How shrunken and pitiful a thing, how hollow a delu- sion, is the shining so-called success of self-absorbed men and women. They have only the husks of life’s golden grain. Like that soldier under Galerius who found a shining leather bag filled with pearls and cast away the pearls but @arefully preserved the bag, these self absorbed ones are spurning true riches, real success, to hug to their hearts things that are empty and worthless. “CURES” THAT DON’T CURE The trouble with most crime cures is that they don’t cure. , _ In the United Sttes the chances are so small of a crim- inal being arrested and punished that reform is the farthest thing from the underworld mind. Of the 510 men who left a certain reformatory during the years 1910-12, 80 per cent went on committing crimes after their discharge. “This,” says Dr. Richard Cabot, “is a dmning piece of evidence ... against the reforma- tory system in general.” ‘' In a number of states anti-revolver laws have been passed under the guise of crime deterrents. The success of these laws cn be measured by the fact that in New York the Brooklyn Grand Jury recently advocated their repeal on the grounds that they are an aid to the criminal who is as- sured of an unprotected citizenry. We have made a joke of the parole system by allowing the influence of professional reformers and sob-sisters to reach the point where every year vicious criminals, with no More social sense than so many tigers, are liberated and allowed to go forth and prey again on society. Adequate, certain and quick punishments—here are the only real crime cures. Once we have shown the under- world that society will exact quick retribution from offend- os, crime won't seem such a desireable and profitable pro- ession. The idie word that stings is as old as human speech. Spoken thoughtlessly or spoken i na moment of irritation, it Says more than the speaker meant. At least it says more than he would have said if he had taken second thought. Too often in a hasty moment one who really would not for worlds cause lasting hurt does just that because he reaches for the first remark that will register. These idle words go deep, deep into the heart and mem- ory of the one to whom they are addressed. There is no way of reaching this harm by laws and courts. There is no way of resolving to build up a habit'in one’s life of saying only kindly things until quiet reflection has shown the end of something else. This is not a text for weaklings, a counsel for meekness to the point of being trodden upon. It was not a weak man who prayed, “Set a watch before the door of my lips,” nor a fool who wrote, “She openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness.” Meet--- These Values!

A NEGRO "SUPER" BANDIT WHOSE EXPLOITS MATCHED THOSE OF THE FAMOUS OUTLAW, JESSE JAMES to a life of crime when turned at the stake by a his own race, and dra- l on a mission of THE STORIES OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN The House on the Cliff, where the "super" bandit lived for years Clean Fiction Human Interest Features W. B. Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago Advertising Representatives A NE WHOSE EX OUT He was driven in his mother was b frenzied mob of matically trapped gallantry. He was driven into a life of crime when his mother was burned at the stake by a frenzied mob of his own race, and dramatically trapped on a mission of gallantry. By DONN BRYAN JOHNSON did not read, smoke, chew nor carry on affairs with questionable women. He was clean cut, fair, and determined. Although he took part in many a grim law violation, he never killed a person in his life; and when he was cornered by another of his own race, who was resolved that Johnson should not escape alive, he stood up face to face and shot it out with his adversary. It was after he had pitched headlong to the ground mortally wounded, that his horse "Steel," approached and thrust his nose against the cold cheek of his master, when Johnson was carried out. Few people know of the exploits of Joseph F. Johnson. Especially few colored people have heard of him. However, Johnson was a strong figure, smart, quick to think, and capable of giving a good account of himself in any emergency. For ten years on the top of a high hill in a small frame house A "Both guns barked at the same time. "There were two flashes of flame, and sparks scattered. "One man sank to the floor with a low moan. . . "He was hit squarely in the breast. He never recovered consciousness. "He died the middle of the next day." Grandson of the famous Steel, the "super" bandit's great horse. this "super" bandit lived, quite like his hero, Jesse James, who preceded him. The King of Bandits, who was slain in St. Joseph, Missouri, by his trusted friend, Bob Ford, shortly before Johnson launched his nefarious career, was Johnson's ideal. THE MEN But it was not his ambition to lead the sort of life he was forced into, and had there been any other way, no doubt he would have developed into a power in a more likely profession. Circumstances did not permit this, as will be shown presently. Johnson was a small man, not over five seven, and somewhat slender. He weighed approximately one hundred and forty pounds. However, he was quicker than a Jungle cat, and could shoot as straight as a die. Several times he shot his way out of close places without destroying any lives.

The stories told and re-told about snakes and reptiles of various kinds have crept into books, and fooled many city people. Government scientists attempted to gather definite proof among the Indians and Negroes of the southern and southwestern states concerning the "stinging and hoop" snakes, of which tales have long been told. Such snakes, many believe, roll themselves into hoops and pursue their victims with race horse speed, their tails furnished with thorns. Horn Snake Is Harmless The "stinging snake" myth, apparently originated more than 200 years ago, and was published in an old report of the lords proprietors of the Carolinas. John Clayton also mentions the myth in a letter to the Royal Society of London in 1688 It was said that there lived in the Carolinas a snake whose tail was a poisoned horn, or stinging snake. Now there IS a horn-snake, but it is perfectly harmless. This is the nearest approach to the mythical snake of early American days. The horn snake is a bluish-black color, and has red bars across its belly. WARNING Buy GENUINE BAYER Aspirin Know what you are taking to relieve that pain, cold, headache or sore throat.

The tail of the snake tapers to a fine point, which gives it the appearance of a horn. or spike, but it is quite incapable of piercing or stinging anything. The "glass" or joined snake, is another myth that is frequently mentioned by the old timers. This creature is not a true snake but a legless lizard. The story is that the body of this reptile will disjoint, the pieces wiggling off in every direction and coming together again, if the head is not destroyed. Can Drop Tail Scientists say that the explanation of this curious phenomenon lies in the ability of the lizard to drop its tail, an act which sometimes enables it to escape while the still wriggling tail attracts the attention of the pursuer. Many other lizards do the same thing, and a spike, or short, imperfect tail grows in the place of the lost tail. This curious reptile is rarely seen, as it lives under decaying vegetation and burrows in the soil. It is sometimes turned up by a plow. It has long been the subject of discussion, and is quite harmless. It really is of considerable agricultural value because of its food habits.

No one knows just who started the story to circulating. Possibly someone who wished to sell horsehair ropes. Public ignorance kept the story going and there was always a manufacturer of horsehair ropes to profit thereby. Rope no Bar to Rattler The rattlesnake, among all the reptiles, is supposed to be unable to cross a horsehair rope. Just why its "tummy." which is impervious to cactus thorns. sharp stones and rocks is a ribbon snake, basking in the sun. It itself, making graceful and really an artist could make without several ports. heated to solar temperatures that repel the human hand, should be so responsive to the unkncwn magic of horsehair, doesn't seem to be quite clear. One snake investigator camped one night in a region where the reptiles abounded. The horsehair rope was carefully placed around the camp. But a littie desert side-winder. the small gray rattlesnake of the arid regions. proceeded to shatter the ancient myth. It entered the camp as if it had been invited—and right over the barrier of horsehair rope, paying no more attention to it than a migrating waterfowl does to an international boundary. Only an automatic pistol and a stream of lead stopped the side-winder. Another snake story frequently told says that a coiled rattlesnake can be killed with a pistol without the weapon taking anything but a general aim. The theory is that the snake will automatically and unconsciously put its head in the line of fire. But many tests have proved that it takes an expert marksman to hit a rattler's head, or any snake's head, for that matter. The hunter must be able to shoot as accurately at a snake as at a jack rabbit. The Biological Survey in its investigations endeavored to prove the abilities of the coach-whip snake—another species of reptile of which there are many legendary stories because of its effrontery when suddenly come upon in the woods—in straightening up on its tail. It will even follow a person for some distance after it has assumed its normal position in crawling on the ground. But the coach-whip snake has no evil intentions. It is merely curious. It is quite harmless, and if faced suddenly it will skulk away out of sight. The snake lives in the southern and southwestern states and is brownish-black. The hoop-snake is a close relative. This latter is supposed to stiffen its body, with its tail between its jaws, and roll like a hoop after its victim, and when catching the frightened person letting go of its tail and stinging viciously.

The DARK KNIGHT A Smashing Story of Brown Love and Thrilling Intrigue by WILLIAM T. SMITH Talented Negro Writer ```markdown ``` SYNOPSIS BEGIN READING HERE 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 fiance. 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 learns 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 laying 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 Lyla'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. Lyla, 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 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 is 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 furious 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 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, because his father and her father are all tangled in an affair with Wolf, and that if ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—May 24.1930 A man is tied up at a bar, with a bottle of alcohol on the table.

"THE RISE AND FALL OF CONCRETE"—A 2-Part Thriller By Sylvan Drown her father incurs the banker's ill-will, it will disgrace him. Rod 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 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. Afters 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. Rod's splendid young strength enables him to get to his feet just before the referee tolls off the fatal tenth count. Latzo, confident that Rod is on the verge of a knockout, takes his time about getting to him, and is surprised to see Rod evade his blows. For the rest of the round Rod uses all his boxing skill to keep out of his opponent's way. In the second round, Rod leads the attack, landing jolting smashes to Latzo's body, while the latter chases him doggedly in an attempt to put over a finishing blow. As the third round begins, Latzo comes charging in with both fists flying. Rod meets him in the center of the ring and swaps punch for punch. At last, Rod's opportunity comes as he feints Latzo's hand down, and crashes over a hook to the jaw which sends him down for the count. Rod is paid twenty-six thousand dollars for his share of the proceeds. He leaves with Kelly and the federal agents who have been present at the fight. He goes to the Swamp Hut where he taunts Wolf, daring him to bring him a bottle of liquor. Wolf tells him it will be fifty dollars a quart to him, and Rod flashes his large roll of money. Wolf brings the liquor and Rod tells him he is under arrest just as an agent disarms him. In searching the place, other agents find a large quantity of dope. Wolf cringes in fear. Rod dashes up the stairs to a phone booth to call Lyla. He tells her that he has won his fight when she interrupts to tell him that she is to marry Reggie the next day at noon at her house. He is about to tell her that Wolf has been arrested when two steely arms encircle him, and a heavy cloth is thrown over his head, as he is dragged away. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. THE LAST CHAPTER A harsh voice warned Rod that it would be betetr for him to make no outcry. A pair of iron-like hands gripped each of his arms, making resistance futile. He was hustled out of a door. The cool air struck his face with a welcome rush. His captors half carried, half dragged him across the sidewalk and pushed him roughly into an automobile. At once the machine slid into motion, its motor roaring. His captors said no word, nor did they take the cloth off his face. Rod remembered the twenty-six thousand dollars in his pocket with a sinking heart. Belatedly he thought that Kelly had been right about 3 JACKSON flashing his money. The car swept swiftly over smooth streets for what seemed to Rod to be a long time. At last it came to a stop. He was yanked out of it, hustled up a short flight of stairs, and into a room. HIS MONEY STOLEN When the cloth was removed from his face the glare of the electric light blinded him so he could not see what his captors looked like. He was pushed roughly into a chair and bound tightly. He felt a hand slip into his pocket, and knew that his money was being removed. The slam of a door apprised him that his abductors had gone. By now his eyes were becoming accustomed to the light, and he saw that he was in a room unfurnished, except for the chair in which he was tied, and a rickety table. He sat perfectly still for five minutes, then believing his captors really gone, he shouted as loudly as he could, but no one came to his aid. With a mighty effort he strained against the ropes which held him, but he could not budge them. Now that the first shock of his capture was wearing off he was able to think more rationally, and he wondered whether members of Wolf's gang had abducted him to hold as a hostage against the gang leader's release, or whether other bandits had kidnapped him merely to rob him. He guessed that by now it was well after midnight. According to the message Lyla had given him over the phone, she would be married to Reggie in just twelve hours unless he could get there in time to prevent it. At the thought he grew desperate again, straining at his bonds so hard that they cut into his flesh. KELLY PURSUES ROD'S CAPTORS As Rod leaped up from the table, Kelly als arose, trying to decide whether or not to follow his friend. Kelly was wise in the ways of the world, and he was afraid that somebody, having seen Rod's large roll of money, might attempt to rob him. He decided to follow Rod, and walked slowly up the stairs just in time to see two men dragging him out of the door. For an instant Kelly was not sure that it was his friend. That tiny fraction of indecision was enough to allow the men to get Rod into the car, and speed away before Kelly could reach them. There were no cabs in sight The blond fighter ran out into the street shouting. A passing motorist halted. Kelly leaped into his machine without parley. "Follow that car!" he cried, pointing to the automobile ahead of them. "Why should I?" the motorist inquired suspiciously. "Don't waste time arguing." Kelly snapped belligerently, "or I'll give you a sock in the nose! Just follow that car and follow it fast!" Kelly's scarred face and his husky shoulders convinced the driver that discretion was the better part of valor. He threw his car into high. A block ahead of them the other car gained speed, and turned a corner on two wheels. Block after block they trailed their quarry, until in an unfamiliar part of town it halted. Kelly climbed out hastily, and flinging a bill at the motorist, told him to drive on. In spite of his haste, the men had disappeared into the house before he could reach them. Cautiously he tipped up the steps and lurker by the doorway. In a few minutes the men emerged from the house. Kelly stepped in front of them. "Say, you bozos!" he snarled. "What have you done with my buddy?" "What's he talking about?" one of the men asked the other with pretended innocence. KELLY SLUGGED Kelly took a threatening step toward him. "Don't try to stall me off, or I'll hang one on your chin, brother—." He slumped heavily to the ground as the second man swung his black-jack with deadly swiftness, striking the fighter on the back of his head. "Shall we leave him here?" the wielder of the blackjack inquired. "Naw. That would bring attention to this house if a cruiser squad should happen to drive by." "We better cart him along with us, then." Accordingly, they picked up the unconscious Kelly, and carrying him to the car, threw him into its rear. The machine jolted along over rough streets. Kelly, used to hard flicks, recovered more quickly than his captors expected. Cautiously his hands stole around over the floor of the car in search of weapon. He was rewarded with a heavy jack handle. In the front seat the driver turned to his companion. "Cripes, Kid! The Chief sends us to get rid of one bozo. (Continued on page four) THE DARK KNIGHT (Continued from page three) and now we've got another one on our hands. What we gonna do with this one?” KELLY ESCAPES Kelly settled their problem for them. Jautiously raising himself to th? level of the seat in front of him, he raised his heavy weapon and brought it forcefully down upon the head of th- man who sat beside the driver. As the driver turned, Kelly promptly let the jack handle descend again with sufficient force to make the driver crumple up behind the wheel. The car headed straight for a telephone post. Kelly reached over the bod~ of his victims and seized the stecring wheel. He guided the car along the middle of the street, while he clambered out on the run- ning board and pushed the uncon- scious driver unceremoniously to one side. Ee threw the car out of gear and pulled on the brake. For a minute he peered down the street trying to decide where he was. Then he got out of the machine and prowled around in the compartment under the rear seat until he found a bundle of heavy cord. With this he tied the hands and feet of his un- conscious victims, and heaved them into the back of the car This done, he again started the car. He drove along slowly for blocks, but the part of town in which he found himself was unfamiliar to him. He tried vainly to retrace his course to the house. As the minutes length- ened into hours he decided to seek nid. At the first police station he was able to find, he got out. The desk sergeant listened to his story sleepily, then as he told of Rod’s abduction, sat upright with a sharp jerk. “That must be the Kid that the Federal agents sent out a city-wide alarm on,” he cried. “Briggs, get headquarters,” he snapped at the dozing telephone operator. “Let’s go ou’ and have a look at these bozos you got in the car,” he suggested to Kelly. The two men reached the sidewalk just in time to see the car moving slowly away from the curb. The po- lice sergeant whipped out his re- volver and fired rapidly. The man at the wheel of the machine slumped over as the machine bumped over the curbing. When they reached the car the other man was_ crouched down feaifully as though he expect- ed more -bullets. ONE GANGSTER TALKS A look at the driver disclosed the fact that he was badly wounded. At the sound of the shots other police- men had run from the station with drawn guns. The sergeant command- ed two of them to get the wounded man into the station house and call a doctor. Then he seized the other captive by the collar and dragged him_roughly back to his office. “Where did you leave that Kid you kidnapped?” the sergeant de- manded. “Come on, now.

Swiftly, Kelly told him all he knew ata ae it. “Come on with us,” the plain clothes officer commanded, | starting for the door. “We'll cruise until we locate this joint.” In their big silent car the detec- tives drove swiftly up and down, with Kelly peering eagerly at each house thzy passed.

Just as the leader of the squad announced, that so far as he was concerned they could drive back to triumph. “There it is! There it is!” he cried, eeonr as a deserted looking house which they were about to pass. The machine skidded to an abrupt halt. The men poured out of the machine and ran up the steps, with the eager Kelly in the lead. One of them, a husky two-hundred Pounder, crashed into the door with his shoulder, splintering it. In an in- stant they were inside. In the first room off the hall they found Rod, still tied to his chair, unconscious. A quick examination proved that he was only unconscious. Rapidly they untied him. and began chaffing his arm; and legs. Finally he opened his eyes dazedly. His first glance showed him Kelly standing over him Peering anxiously into his face. “Good old Kelly,” Rod muttered.

I have also learned that there is no better receptacle for carrying live snakes than an ordinary trout fisherman's creel. "Now you can imagine what happens when people see me working out in the desert-perhaps miles from the nearest water-and casting about among the sage-brush and cactus with that kind of an outfit. Many take one look and say to themselves: 'There's an enthusiastic trout fisherman who's gone nutty on the subject. Look at him! The poor fellow thinks this desert is a trout pool.'" Mr. Rowe relates that he once had two deputies out after him. They thought that he had escaped from an asylum nearby. Thus, if you happen to see someone "fishing" in a desert, you may be fairly certain that the game is not food but reptiles. The odd fisherman with his reel is likely to be investigating some superstition about snakes, and more than likely discovering that another story is just—another story. LISTEN.

PORO FOR HAIR AND SKIN MORE BANDIT STORY (Continued from page one) the front door, flung it open, and ran for his horse. Yes, he was calm, even though he hurried. He knew he had been warned by Steel, who was intelligent enough to sense his master's danger. Sure enough down the lane that led off the main road to the house, there cam, the hoof beats of many mounts. And Johnson saw the posse, saw the rifle barrels reflecting the strong rays of the sun, saw the rays glinting off the silver mountings on their saddles; and then saw the leader lift his rifle and fire. A bullet whanged past his ear. This was followed by a hundred shots that seemed to explode all at once. The ground was torn up in front and behind him. But as the man said who finally bested Johnson in a gun fight: "That man bears a charmed life. No bullet seems to be made to kill him." Joseph Johnson leaped into his saddle on Steel and was away like a bolt of lightning. He knew the capability of his mount, and was secure in his confidence once he had gained a comfortable position in the flying saddle. Steel saved his life that time. Moreover, it is recorded that he saved his master's life more than once. Johnson was driven into a life of crime when his mother was burned at the stake by travelers who tried to force from her lips the secret of the hiding place of a white man who had robbed them. And those colored people who painful stiff joints? Sloan's Liniment took such a cruel method of torturing information from one of their own race, fired the veins of Joseph Johnson until he could not sleep at night. He swore that he would find the killers of his mother, and he spent his life looking for them in vain His mother's home was seized by a hard-hearted landlord, and nothing was left to Johnson—not even a job. It was thought that she had received money from the white fugitive there in the swamps to save him from the posse. The people in the community held this against Johnson. And he found himself facing a situation that held no two avenues of choice. He could travel but one path. And he followed this to his dying day, giving the best account of himself it was --- Children Cry for it Children hate to take medicine as a rule, but every child loves the taste of Castoria.

SP : 6 ~ (Continued from page five) There are some people who think that Johnson left a fortune buried in divers parts of southeast Missouri. But this is hardly true since he was @ great spender. There was another colored chap named Sam Millett who had the rep- utation of being a crack shot. They commented on his ability to shoot with rifle or revolver. and on several occasions he was hired by bankers to guard their institutions against any chance of robbery on the part of Joseph Johnson. Millet was a young- er man than the bandit, and it was said of him that he went to church and prayed aloud that God would help hi 1 to meet face to face Joseph F. Johnson. And it is evident that God or someone answered his prayers. White men invariably took Millet with them when they went after criminals, in cases of robbery, jail breaks, assaults and all dangerous crimes. He was a good shot and they always counted on him. His ability to shoot made him many friends, both colored and white. He was un- educated, but those were the days when a man’s ability in any one line was all the education he needed. Millet was a sort of Beau Brummel. He dressed in the height of fashion anc wo e a tall stovepipe hat. He was lean and lanky. something after the build of Abe Lincoln, yet he was not as thin. His shoulders were uncom- monly broad for one of his slim stat- ure. And his arms were long. But his clothe were well tailored, and he did not overdress. His stock tie was white. He wore white shirts when he could get them. And as a rule his clothes were black. These were expensive. since Millet had nothing to do with his money when he was in his prime. save to buy clothes and spend it on women of which he was very fond. It was through a woman that Millet trapped Joseph F. Johnson. She was @ beautiful woman, too. Any man would have been interested in her. Besides that, her character was high- ly respectable. She had never been in serious trouble of any sort. Consequently, when Millet located her, he grew to be interested in her to a marked degree. Then later, when the gun fighter heard that Johnson was in the neighborhood of her house, and had been riding back and forth in front of the building. to see this FREE VALUABLE Concerning your a HAIRy Big Descrip- GP Sea ae tive Catalog and @eggas yy sy Premium List Free, "Q%Qises <0 im We are the larg- ee a est” Manufacturers / eee of French Hand- : Bie J fs made wigs, trans- te foriations and POS switches a .

The plan was to appeal to Johnson's gallantry. He had always heard that the bandit liked respect- able women, and would come to their aid when they were in trouble and needed his help.

The note told Johnson that the writer was in grave trouble, and unles. she was protected that night. she would be carried off. She did not know where to look for help as the neighbors were all afraid of the man who was going to kidnap her. She stated that this man was Millet, and that he was a dangerous foe to any man who crossed him against his wishes. Then Millet left the small unpaint- ed house at the side of the lonely road, and awaited a call from the woman, taking shelter in the home of a relative of the girl less than a quarter of a mile away.

It was eleven o'clock. Rod started staggering for the door, but was so weak he almost fell. "What's your hurry. Kid?" the leader of the squad asked. "You better sit down and get yourself together before you attempt to do much walking." TO STOP LYLA'S WEDDING Rod sank back into the chair, and as he flexed his benumbed arms and legs in an effort to restore circulation, he told them of the raid the night before, and of the fact that he had to get to the Durant home before Lyla was married. The detectives regarded him sympathetically. Most of them had been present at Rod's fight the night before, and they liked him. "Well, you sure don't need to worry about that Wolf guy no more," one of them told him. "He tried to make a getaway from the Federal men last night, and he got plugged." "You mean he's dead?" Rod exclaimed. "As a door nail!" he was told. "Tell you what. Kid," the leader said. "What say. we take you in our car and bust up this wedding. OK?" "And how!" the youth cried fervently. "Thanks fellows!" With Kelly's strong arm supporting him. he made his way to the police car the officers preceding them. Through stop lights, against traffic, past gesticulating policemen, the car swept at a dizzy pace, its siren warning everyone to get out of the way. The machine turned corners at a breath-taking angle, while the officers behaved much like small boys. They kidded Rod unmercifully about his interference in the girl's marriage, and prophesied dire results, but he only laughed and urged the driver to greater speed. REGGIE'S WEDDING HALTED At length, with the siren still sounding loudly they drew up before the Durant residence. By this time Rod had regained the use of his limbs.

The girl, at the sight of Rod in his disheveled clothes, the men standing back of him, sprang from Reggie's side and ran to Rod, throwing her arms about his neck. Reggie ran after her, indignation apparent in his face and motions. One of the detectives halted him with a wave of his big hand. Lyla's father now strode over to where Rod was holding the sobbing girl tightly in his arms. "What's the meaning of this outrage. young man?" he demanded angrily. "Pipe down. Alderman." the squad leader commanded him. The politician looked at him scathingly. "Wolf's dead!" Rod told him significantly. "And I'm going to marry Lyla—right now!" "Dead!" For a moment the Alderman's face was a study in conflicting emotions. Then he smiled. "All right young man. I guess you win." Reggie's father, a pompus, grey-haired man, wearing an enormous ring, waddled over to them. "What's all this?" he demanded with much dignity. Alderman Durant turned to him.
