No. 29 19 YE SAM WILLIAMS AWARDS SPOUSE $10.000 CASH Long Drawn Out Tangles of Contractor and Wife Ended in Court The long drawn out domestic affairs of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Williams, 2676 Adams street, were brought to a dramatic close in Superior Judge Charles Greenwald's court yesterday when an absolute degree of divorce was granted the husband, after opposing lawyers had wrangled for several weeks. As a result of the decree, Williams was given his freedom, but before doing so he awarded $10,000 in property and cash to the wife voluntarily and without the court's instruction. For himself, he contented himself with keeping their beautiful residence at 2676 Adams street, a $25,000 shrine for many visitors. Williams, whose personal fortune, amassed in the contracting business, is said to be nearly $100,000, charged his wife with cruel and inhuman treatment. She retaliated in a cross complaint charging the same thing. To make her happy and satisfied, Williams claimed that he did everything possible to honor the woman he gave his name, but was not appreciated for his efforts. He complained that he got tired of taking care of his wife's children, her three sons thru a former marriage. After sending one of the boys to school both here and in Paris, France, he saw that his kindness was not appreciated, he declared. Williams was represented by Attorney Fritz W. Alexander, while the wife was represented by Attorney Blaz Lucas. SEEKS MISSING CINCINNATI BOY Cincinnati.

DEFEAT DIXIE JURIST SOLONS SAYS BAGNALL Field Secretary of N. A. A. C. P. Urges Opposition to Parker Supporters NEW YORK—Considerable interest has been aroused in Wichita, Kansas, by an address delivered by Robert W. Bagnall, Director of Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People before the local branch, in the course of which he urged colored voters to defeat Senator Henry J. Allen because of his vote in favor of Judge John J. Parker's confirmation. The local white daily, the Wichita Eagle, published an extended account of Mr. Bagnall's address which bore the following headline: "Solons Who Backed Parker To Suffer at Election Time." The newspaper in its account of the address, which was devoted mainly to the work of the N. A. A. C. P., said: "The speaker did not devote much time to the Kansas Senator, but he made it clear that the Association is opposed to his renomination and reelection, because he led the fight in the Senate for a man who ten years ago flouted the Constitution of the United States as far as Negro rights are concerned." A Scotchman was discovered wandering around Detroit with a pair of rumpled trousers over his arm. "Can I help you in any way?" asked a kindly citizen. "Man," replied the Scot, who was evidently a newcomer. "I'm looking for the Detroit Free Press." VOLUME III. No. 29 Charged Cruelty EAR C Hueston GETS P. O.

DEFENDER WINS IN LEGAL TILT Chicago—The Appellate court of this district handed down a decision Tuesday in the long drawn out suit of Tony Langston, former dramatic critic and advertising solicitor of the Chicago Defender and that publication in favor of the Chicago Defender. The suit which involved some $35,000 was brought by Langston to enforce payment on advertising contracts which he had consummated before his separation from the Defender.

Lake County commissioners may have to choose between nearly a half dozen men in selecting a successor to fill the place of Justice W. C. Hueston, who is reported contemplating giving up the job to accept a position in the District of Columbia, it was stated today. Among those most frequently mentioned as possible prospects to fill the place to be left vacant by Justice Hueston are: William E. Burrus, former councilman of the Third ward; Joseph H. Rapier, lawyer, and a candidate for the office in last month's primary; B. J. Laube, white, former justice of the peace; John W. Robinson, attorney, and a candidate last month for the office, and Fritz W. Alexander, also an attorney. While these men are being considered and their names mentioned, only one of them directly denied that he would not seek the office. He was Attorney Alexander, who professed no interest at all in the rumor that his name was being mentioned. Importance of taking care of his private law practice, he stated, would forbid him from having any interest in the prospects of being chosen as Hueston's successor. Burrus, however, admitted that his name was being mentioned. That he did not know whether he would be chosen was pointed out. Hueston to Quit.

The petitions of the Negro Gold Star Mothers have been forwarded to President Hoover by the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People which officially called the matter to the President's attention and asked that he overrule the War Department in the matter. The letter of the N. A. A. C. P. to President Hoover states that negotiations over a period of three months with the War Department brought the final ruling that the policy of color segregation on the pilgrimage to France would stand. In their petition to the President, forwarded to him by the N. A. A. C. P., the Negro Gold Star Mothers call the attitude of the War Department a "gratuitous insult," state that loved ones were given freely and willingly at their country's call and continue: "In the years which have passed since death took, our loved ones our anguish and sorrow have been assuaged by the realization that our loved ones 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 all colors.

SEE 'REVIVAL' OF KLAN THRU JUDGE DEFEAT State Convention Defeats Justice Willoughby For High Court By RODNEY QUICK Staff Correspondent Indianapolis.—Revival of the Ku Klux Klan in republican party politics was seen here today with the defeat of Justice Benjamin M. Willoughby for renomination to the state supreme court in the republican state convention. Receiving only 19 of Lake county's 119 votes, Justice Willoughby was defeated by Judge Thomas Coulter, of the Knox county circuit court, an ardent Klan adherent and "dry" enthusiasm. Judge Willoughby has been a bitter opponent of the Klan in Indiana all his life. In the days of Klan domination, he was one of the three justices sitting on the Indiana supreme court who opposed the Klan, insisted upon strict interpretation of "dry" cases and respect for the constitution. Opposition to Justice Willoughby was led by Oliver Starr, Lake county prosecuting attorney, who characterized the magistrate as an ardent "wet." He is believed to have opposed him on that ground. The defeat of Willoughby, how ever, struck terror in the hearts of many Negro politicians attending the convention here, especially those who are unwilling to tolerate the Klan and wish to see the evil or organization eliminated in G. O. P politics. What effect the Willoughby defeat will have in causing republican Negroes to "bolt" the party in November was the subject of much speculation by delegates attending the political gathering here today.

Mob Takes Victim From Jail; Lynches Him As Many Look On By Exchange Press Chickasha, Okla.—Lynch law took the life of Henry Argo, 19-year-old Negro youth, Saturday, May 31. Argo, who had been charged with attacking a white woman, is the third Negro to die at the hands of mobs in the southwest within the month. Argo was alleged to have attacked the wife and small baby of G. W. Skinner, white farmer living in a dug-out about three miles from Chickasha. Arrested two miles from the city on a highway and brought to jail after identification by the woman. Argo vehemently denied any knowledge of the attack, said that he was innocent and that he was from Oklahoma City and on his way to Texas. As soon as news spread of the alleged attack, and the arrest of Argo, a large mob formed shouting threats of violence against anyone that stopped them. They marched to the Grady County jail, burst through the heavy doors of the steel cell where Argo was confined. With crowbars, axes, iron pipes they started prying away the plaster and wood at the side of the door to make an opening. Use Blank Cartridge Machine guns with blank cartridges were turned on the mob during the height of the rioting and tear gas bombs were hurled by the National Guardsmen. The mob disconnected telephones to the jail. Then one of the members with a rifle took position in a tree and shot Argo. The bullet pierced his skull. Wrapped in a sheet he was carried from the jail to a hospital where it was said that attendants declined to receive him. Members of the mob did not attempt to molest Argo, believing that he was dead. After a time, Argo was carried back to the jail where the rioting broke out again. This time G. W. Skinner, husband of the woman alleged to have been attacked, plunged a knife into Argo's chest as he lay on a cot in the jail. The mob set fire to a truck outside the jail and then stacked a pile of mattresses in a downstairs room, soaked them with gasoline and lighted the pile. The guardsmen came out, announced that the Negro prisoner was dead and carried his body out wrapped in sheets to a waiting undertaker's ambulance. Argo was not dead when he was placed in the ambulance, but members of the mob thought so and the unconscious Negro was rushed to the University of Oklahoma Hospital, Oklahoma City, about 50 miles away, where he died from his wounds. Officers arrested Skinner and three others of the mob but they were released without bail by county authorities, Governor W. J. Howloway at Oklahoma City directed B. F. Holding, Grady county attorney, and J. Berry King, attorney-general, to take immediate action in prosecuting leaders of the Chickasha mob. The governor said he would insist upon immediate prosecution so "law and order might be upheld."

Fifth and Massachusetts "The Laundry That Does It Best" PAGETWO 'WHITES MUST RULE,' SAYS DIXIE PAPER Journal Bold Enough To Advocate Supremacy of Whites NEW YORK—Despite the pressure exerted by the colored voters throughout the country, which brought about the defeat of Judge John J. Parker's nomination to the U. S. Supreme Court, southern white people are determined that the Negro shall not "rule a white civilization in this country," which means vote, according to the Atlanta Constitution. Commenting editorially upon the defeat of Judge Parker's nomination in the Senate, the Constitution says in part: "Speaking of that vote the New York Times reports Walter White secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, as saying: 'Negroes are elated by it. But they realize that it represents only the beginning of their struggle against the nullification of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The fight of the Negro is a fight for the realization fully, and on a 100 per cent basis, of what the United States Constitution says and means." "The fight for 100 per cent recognition of the Negro's right to rule a white civilization in this country is going to be a long one and it may be won in some northern states. That is up to their people. But it is written in the heart of the white people of the South that it is beaten by them already and will stay beaten."

Continued throwing of rubbish along the state highways after being repeatedly warned by road officials, cost R. Y. Archer, of Culver, a delivery driver for a South Bend firm, $10.50 when taken into court. Archer made a practice of throwing paper boxes and other rubbish from his delivery truck into the state road, and resented suggestions that he dispose of same in a more proper method. His arrest was made on evidence provided by a state highway patrolman and the fine and cost quickly imposed in the court. He was prosecuted under Burns Act P239, 1905, amended in 1967, which reads: "Whoever throws, puts, dumps or leaves any tin cans, old iron, brush, bozes, tools, machinery, vehicles, rubbish, brick, wood, logs, glass, glassware, glass bottles, glass jars, or debris of any kind or character wherever in, upon or within the limits of any public highway, except by direction of the Township Trustee, Superintendent, or board of County Commissioners shall, on conviction, be fined in any sum not to exceed $50.00. With state highways serving 90 percent of the motoring public direct, patrolmen have sufficient work ahead of them to keep surfaces conditioned, berms dragged and shoulders free of weeds and grass without gathering up debris tossed into the roadway by careless and unthoughtful people, contends A. H. Hinkle, state highway maintenance superintendent, who is instructing several hundred patrolmen not to hesitate to file affidavits against such offenders. Much of the safety of high speed traffic today depends upon unobstructed sight distances and obstacles such as trash and rubbish dumped into a high speed road might easily be the direct cause of a serious accident, aside from the fact that its presence entails unnecessary labor of highway work men in removing same. The state road maintenance superintendent in a bulletin to field forces today also asked that where possible efforts be made to persuade land owners to plant low-growing crops at road intersections and on land near sharp turns and curves, contending that such action on the part of the landowners is most desirable in behalf of motoring safety.

B. STRIKES DIXIE WHITES THRU NEGROES Writer Finds Disease Can Not Be Checked Unless Action Is Taken Memphis.—Driving home the terrible ravages which tuberculosis is making particularly throughout the south, S. L. Smith, director for southern schools of the Julius Rosenwald fund, in an address before the sociological section of the National Tuberculosis Association during its annual session, here last week, painted a picture which created a profound impression. Proving that both the white and black people of the south were losing health, money, and life itself through ignorance, insanitation in colored districts and lack of effort and sympathetic approach, Mr. Smith said: "The Negro death rate from tuberculosis is at least two and one-half times that of the whites in every southern state. "In Tennessee the death rate of Negro children of elementary school age is ten times that of the whites of the same age, ranging up to sixteen times for ages 5 to 9 years, but Dr. Bishop is attacking the problem scientifically. Missouri Highest. "Missouri which has a death rate of 209.8 from tuberculosis among Negroes—the highest record in the south for 1928—shows the total deaths among Negroes from all causes to be 84 per cent greater than the number of births; while the births among whites the same year showed an increase of 33 per ving in it certainly is your earnings in is nothing but "As tuberculosis was unknown in the native country of the Negro when he was brought to America as a slave, this high death rate must be due to sociological rather than biological causes. "Since the germs of tuberculosis are dreadfully shy of intelligence, sanitation, the public health physician and nurse, the hospital and the full dinner pail, and are comfortably at home with ignorance and superstition, dark coraers, insatiary homes, and communities, would it not be good business to double, or even quadruple the amount being spent on Negro education, sanitation and public health services, thereby saving millions annually from economic loss? "Unless more is spent to prevent tuberculosis among Negroes the rate for whites can never be reduced to a satisfactory number. Some of our methods in the past have been as futile as trying to cleanse a stream where there is a dead horse in the spring above. "The total annual economic loss from tuberculosis among Negroes of the south is more than double the value of all Negro public school property—in some states more than three times, including the cost of the Rosenwald Schools.

Far seeing public officials are realizing this and are beginning to employ a few in health, education, and welfare work, in connection with state, county, and city departments. "The teacher is the only means through which the great majority of rural Negroes can be reached immediately, and yet teacher training colleges are sending their graduates out with little knowledge of public health practices, but even skill in detecting simple defects in children. Health education in teachers' colleges can be a most effective way of reducing tuberculosis among Negroes and the only way to reach and save the present crop of rural elementary children.

NANCY CARROLL NOW A FLIRT Very seldom does a motion picture actress change her type of acting. Beginning Friday, June 6th, the Chicago Theatre offers Nancy Carroll in an entirely new type of character. She stars in Paramount's "The Devil's Holiday" in an emotional, highly dramatic role, a distinct departure from the recent musical comedy type of work she has been doing. It is a new Nancy Carroll that is seen, directed by the man who made "The Trespasser," Edmund Goulding, and supported by a case that speaks for themselves. Phillips Holmes, Paul Lucas, ZaSu Pitts, James Kirkwood, Hobart Boswarth, to mention a few. Roughneck: "What is a petroleum engineer?" Driller: "A geologist who has seen a drilling rig."

Phone 2-5097 You THE GARY AMERICAN, GARY, INDIANA WARN TOURISTS OF TORNADOES In spite of their ferocity, tornadoes offer little peril to motor tourists if four general rules are kept in mind and obeyed when a twister is sighted, points out the touring bureau of the Chicago Motor club. "Inasmuch as nearly all tornadoes move in a generally easterly direction, the car should be driven north or south, out of its path," the bureau stated in a bulletin. "One should be careful, however, not to drive into a second one. If the car is disabled, get into a cyclone celler. If one is near. Failing in both of those plans, take refuge in the celler of a frame house, on the side nearest the storm. Should the house topple, the debris will be blown away from you. If there is no other recourse than to face the storm in the open, lie flat on the ground, or perferably in a ditch some distance from trees or poles. Shield your head with seat cushions." Tornadoes are, the bureau explained, traveling whirlwinds. Their destructive area at any one moment is not greater, on the average, than two or three square city blocks. While the rate of whirl at its axis may be three or four hundred miles per hour, it seldom travels across the country faster than sixty miles per hour. Most tornadoes move toward the northeast, while a few travel toward the southeast. The chances are about fifty to one than the direction in which it is seen to be moving is the one which, with but slight variations, it will pursue until it dies out.

And from all indications Mr. Mason has just begun to give to the Lincoln Garden patrons the best talent obtainable.

The honors for this spicy, flashy, colorful aggregation of fun-makers are divided between Kid Brown, the master of ceremonies, George W. Edwards, Oliva Dixon, prima donna, Yvonne Fuller, soubrette, Ernest Randell, Robert Bell, Velma Wiggins, and ten pretty maids. Robert Bell, and Ernest Randell, were certainly given a big hand on the opening night, and this ovation was well merited, for these two clever steppers sure dance without a caution, they just seem to thrive on speed, and get faster each second. And as for George Edwards, the black face monologuist he just too bad, why he cracks some of the most comical jokes ever heard and reduced the patrons into hilarious hysteria with his comic radio antics.

Forrest Dixon and those musical aces of his scored heavily with their mastery of jazz, Forrest certainly put over some pleasing numbers, and made a kick back with "My Baby Rocks Me with That Steady Roll" as an encore just before the finale. Kid Brown, the incomparable master of ceremonies was well received by the Gary night lifers, adjectives fail me in my praise of the Keed, he's just too bad, he sings, and dances and will steal the honors from Duke Ellington, as the shiekiest sheik of jazz, if he doesn't look to his laurels.

THIS WEEK'S EDITORIAL From The Open Forum, Los Angeles, Calif., May 17, 1930 THE N. A. A. C. P. The twentieth annual report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is a most interesting document which looks modest, but contains within its brief compass the dramatic history of a heavily handicapped race emerging from shadow and commanding, through its own efforts, not only the attention and consideration, but the respect and admiration of the world. The accomplishments of this organization are really amazing when one considers the amount of mob-thinking, ignorance and stupidity still in the country, much of it aimed at the dark American who has come along with us for a bout three hundred years. The fight goes merrily on. Bit by bit it is won. There are left in the world now just two classes of people, decent citizens who wish to see the dark American get his rights and opportunities and those who do not. The decent citizens are still in the minority, but they have at the head of their list in the light complexioned race such people as Clarence Darrow, Jane Addams, Oswald Garrison Villard and many others, and in the dark race scholarly and intellectual men like Du Bois, cultured and human men like Pickens, brave and intrepid men like Walter White. We can only see greater success for the N. A. A. C. P. All white people who want to see the colored man get a square deal should show their colors by supporting this organization financially and personally. Such encouragement is the least you can do if you are sincere. Join the nearest chapter. Find out the needs and plans of the association and do your bit that "injustice may perish from the earth."

Last year 90,000 persons made scheduled trips on passenger planes--double the 1928 number, and more will ride this year. The people are becoming air-minded.

Little more than a year has passed since the modern passenger transport planes came into use. They are models of comfort, speed and dependability.

These expenditures are directly reflected in broader and better telephone service. The time necessary for installing telephones has been cut nearly in half in five years. "Wrong numbers" which are the faults of operators are all but non-existent. In a few minutes long distance connections can be made with a town 50 miles away or a country half across the world. Every dollar spent by the industry produces improved and extended service. THE PROFESSIONAL REFORMER'S MONUMENT A great barrier to crime prevention is the reformer. He continually asks for more laws, in spite of the fact that unenforceable and unnecessary legislation has become the great American joke. He cries, at one time, for stricter punishment for offenders, and at another for less punishment. Cold logic and intelligent analysis of facts mean nothing to him. He is ruled by his emotion. His monument is the tens of thousands of laws that now burden the statute books. It is a historic fact that most of the great reform movements have turned upon themselves and become boomerangs. The movement which culminated in the New York anti-revolver law is an example. A few months ago the Brooklyn Grand Jury petitioned for the law's repeal! America's prisons are overpopulated, yet many of the worst criminals remain at large, practically immune from punishment by virtue of legal technicalities that make justice impotent. The law-passing mania has been productive of the greatest period of lawlessness in our history. Fewer fool laws and better enforcement; judicial procedure that finds out the facts, instead of discussing irrelevant technicalities; more efficient, better paid and better equipped police departments; quicker, surer arrests' and convictions of malefactors—in this direction lies crime prevention.

GAME PLENTIFUL SAYS WARDEN Indianapolis.—More pheasants and Wild turkeys will be produced at the state's big game reserve in Brown county this year than ever before in the opinion of state conservation department officials. Walter Shirts, head of the fish and game division, says that at this time there are 340 young pheasants and 58 young turkeys, in the brooding pens, with 182 hens incubating pheasant eggs, 12 hens setting on turkey eggs, and 4 hens on wild duck eggs. Several hundred more eggs remain to be incubated. The division recently liberated eighteen laying pheasants and 3 cocks at Turkey Run state Parks where natural reproduction will follow. Pheasants also have been liberated at Spring Mill and Shakamak state parks. It is hoped that these birds will nest in a wild state and in this event state properties where there are sufficient cover will soon see hundreds of these great birds. The state warden protective service made 182 arrests resulting in 176 convictions of fish and game laws during the past month. Shirts reports. Among offenders, 73 were for use or possession of nets, spears, of traps, while 67 either hunted or fished without license.

This work was somewhat uncommon, so Renold Renfro found it not only enticing but profitable as well. He was experimenting with an idea which clung tenaciously to the back of his brain and from which he could not, to save himself, completely escape. During the noon hour when the other hands were ensconced in shade spots where the glaring sun could not beat down upon them, Renold Renfro found something to do and did this energetically. Then the time arrived when he decided to make the long contemplated disclosure to his foreman; and he unhesitatingly explained what he had accomplished. _More- ovér, he demonstrated the truth of what he said by displaying a beautiful piece of exotic pottery —a vase.

Any- how, a man of his ability had no reason to be meek and humble to the point of submissiveness. “Yes, sir,” he pronounced with surprising vigor, ‘this vase is the result of an experiment covefing two years; and the idea belongs entirely to me.” The foreman helped himself to another chew of tobacco, and drawing himself up to his full height, observed quaintly: “Dog-gone! Dog-gone! That’s downright purty. Yes sir-ce, downright purty. But—do you ’low as how you can repeat the operation with any degree of success? In other words, can you take this clay here like we use to make brick, and duplicate this vase you got here?” Renold Renfro nodded acknowledgement. You see, this ambitious youth had already made up his mind exactly what course of action he was going to pursue, and there was no occas- ion for excitement. He promptly left his job there at the brick- yards and moved to Missouri, where he found the right kind of clay and he has been there ever since. Continued on Page Seven Flower Vases. In reality tiese flower vases represent ti.rce colors, french-blue, ved and cream. Throughout Mr. Renfro’s collection one cannot find two pieces of pottery alike. On the left, “The Ransom,” a most re- markabie piece of clay-work produced at Mr. Renfro’s old plant. ORTY-FIVE years ago when Renold Renfro FH was working in the Mississippi cotton fields, he suddenly decided that he had been meant for a much more substantial pur- pose; so he threw off the chains which bound him to a hum-drum existence and set out to make the ‘world recognize his artistie talent. How he con- ceived a way of. doing this and the degree of -suecéss he has achieved provides an intensely interesting story, considerably stranger than the usual story of success. Renold Renfro at the age of twenty-two was employed at a brickyard where red brick was manufactured. His work consisted principally of pushing a wheelbarrow filled with clay and dumping it, only to return posthaste for a second helping. In those days laboring men put in The fore- man then scratched his head, spat out a chew of long - green tobacco the size of a prune, and said: “Do Four Vases, by Renold-Renfro.

[Image of a man in a suit and tie] Alexander Cumby, whose passion for compiling scrapbooks has resulted in the accumulation of a rare collection of extraordinary and unusual facts about his race. By John W. Douglas. LET THOSE who consider the children's pastime, pay attention to Alexander Gumby. This scrap-books twenty-two years ago. The odds and ends that interested his thought worth saving. Of course his clippings are in a large part cof of Negroes. It was not long before Gumby with facts about the Negro race known to most of his friends. It was stumbled on a sad truth. He found that Negroes, even then formed, had a very meager knowledge. When Gumby finally realized this, one of the race items that he could, regularly referred to the past, present or future. That idea was the basis of the Gumby the Negro depicted in scrap books. LET THOSE who consider the keeping of scrap-books a children's pastime, pay attention to this story of Alexander Gumby. This man started compiling scrap-books twenty-two years ago. At first he just collected odds and ends that interested him—little items that he thought worth saving. Of course since he is a colored man his clippings are in a large part concerned with the doings of Negroes. It was not long before Gumby had become familiar with facts about the Negro race, facts that were little known to most of his friends. It was here that our friend stumbled on a sad truth. He found that Negroes, even those relatively well informed, had a very meager knowledge of Negro history. When Gumby finally realized this, he decided to collect all of the race items that he could, regardless as to whether they referred to the past, present or future of the Negro race. That idea was the basis of the Gumby collection, a history of the Negro depicted in scrap books. What a wonderful collection of items about Negroes this man has! Within the compass of sixty odd folios he has amassed material dealing with such topics as the Negro in Africa, slavery, Haiti, Liberia, current history, art, politics crime, anthropology, drama, music the N.A.A.C.P. and pugilism. There are also special books concerning Jack Johnson, Dr. DuBois, Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington. It is a diversified and complete work. Of course it is impossible to adequately treat all of these topics within the limits of this short article. Our purpose will be to mention some of the interesting things that Gumby has collected just to show what his scrap books are like. We have all given receipts for the sale of goods but how many have seen receipts given for the sale of human beings. Gumby exhibited a paper yellowed with age which acknowledged the payment of a sum of money for the sale of a Negro female slave. The woman was described with the same particularity as one would describe a typewriter. The white man who made the sale was so illiterate, that he had to make his mark instead of signing his name. The subject of slavery in the United States forms an important part of the collection. Gumby showed copies of the American Anti-Slavery Almanac, published in 1836-37-38. In March, 1836 the Almanac states that a white man named George Storrs was arrested for delivering an anti-slavery address in a New Hampshire church. For the commission of this crime. L.S.

Of course in dealing with this subject, one cannot omit the life of the Great Emancipator. Gumby has a small pamphlet, published in 1860, which prints in full the famous Cooper Union speech of Lincoln. Perhaps some readers remember the sad tragedy of Lincoln's death. They may recall that the newspapers printed special editions edged in black mourning. These editions are regarded as rarieties today because so few are left. This picture indicates how systema tions of fact THE LIBRARY This picture indicates how systematically Gumby's remarkable collections of facts is filed. Our friend was very fortunate to secure twelve issues of the New York Herald, published from the time Lincoln was shot, until the day he was buried at Springfield, Illinois. It was dedicated to Charles II England and contains an explore account of the Dark Contine Naturally it is of no value too as a geography, but as a histori- Letters of great personages are always interesting to succeeding generations. The writers often reveal traits and angles of their character that are little known to the general public. While looking through the various folios, we saw several original letters written by Negroes whose names are famous There was an epistle penned by the redoubtable Frederick Douglass, when he was in an angry mood, due to some deception practiced on him. He refers to his deceiver as a scoundrel. Gumby has an original message written in ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 7. 1930 ```markdown ``` French containing instructions from Toussaint L'Overture to his generals, an original letter written by Coleridge-Taylor, the famous Negro composer, and a manuscript by the eminent Reverend Alexander Crummell entitled, "Concerning Myself." Whether all of our readers are interested in pugilism, I do not know, but Gumby's scrap book on Negro pugilists is worthy of note, aside from its sporting interest. When Jack Johnson (whom Gumby ardently admires) was signed to box Jeffries, the whole country was in a furor. On turning the pages of this particular book we came across a clipping taken from a New York newspaper. The article was intended to show the difference between Johnson and Jeffries, from the view point of science. It was illustrated by showing the profiles of both men as contrasted with the profile of an ape. Jeffries was held to be furthest developed from the ape type, while great stress was put upon an alleged similarity between Johnson and the ape. The inference was, that Jefferies was the more intelligent and would easily defeat his opponent. Of course the result of that memorable contest at Reno is well known able contest at Reno is well known. The continent of Africa has always aroused the interest of the outside world. Alexander Gumby has a huge geography devoted to a description of Africa. This book was published in 1670, which makes it two hundred and fifty-nine years old cally Gumby's remarkable collec- is filed. It was dedicated to Charles II of England and contains an explorer's account of the Dark Continent. Naturally it is of no value today as a geography, but as a historical item, it is very rare. The American Negro is rapidly being recognized as a powerful factor. Just recently certain London producers announced that Paul Robeson will play Othello in that famous play of Shakespeare's. Do not forget, however, that pioneer colored actor, Ira Aldridge, who played the part of Othello many years ago. He was a famous thesplan at a time when only white actors were considered competent to play Negro parts. Consequently Aldridge's rendition of the part was superior to many of the burntcork whites who essayed the role --- Alexander Gumby began compiling Scrapbooks of Negro History 22 years ago. Now he has one of the choicest collections in existence. The image shows a desk with a large sheet of paper on it, surrounded by various framed pictures and decorative items. The desk is positioned against a wall with a grid of empty frames. RHEUMATIC PAIN BANISHED QUICKLY The quickest way to banish rheumatic pain of the joints and muscles, gout or neuralgia is to get at the source of the trouble and remove the cause. Realizing that, a well- known physician formulated Prescription C-2223 and successfully treated thousands of cases. This effective prescription attacks the trouble at its source by helping to clear the system of accumulated waste matter and toxic acids. That is why you get such quick relief. Ask your druggist for the large size bottle of Prescription C-2223 today. If you fail to get relief after taking this prescription as directed, return the bottle to the druggist from whom you purchased it and your money will be refunded. ASK FOR PRESCRIPTION C-2223 Gumby has in his possession also many relics of former usage. In this picture appears an exotic looking vase and an exceedingly old-style piano. Gumby has several old theatre bills which were used to advertise the appearance of "Mr. Ira Aldridge." While we are on the subject of the theatre, it would be well to note the scrap book on "The Negro Drama." To all lovers of the theatre this book would prove a rare treat. It is filled with clippings concerning the accomplishments of Williams and Walker, Cole and Johnson, Florence Mills, Lee Whipper, Ira Aldridge, Bert Williams, and a host of others. One may summon the whole panorama of Negro performers merely by going through this compilation. Such is the very brief story of Gumby's "History of the Negro." in This is another view of the interior of the famous Gumby Library. scrap-book form. This description by no means gives the complete story, for to do so, would fill a small book. Consider, however, the pleasure and profit that Gumby has received from his books.

He has gone to the Congressional Library in Washington, to the public library in New York, and he has studied the scrap-books of the late Theodore Roosevelt, so as to discover new ideas for the safe keeping of his clippings. His enthusiasm has become so contagious that every Sunday his studio at 2144 Fifth Avenue. New York City, is filled with friends discussing Negro achievements. At the present time, they are preparing the "Gumby Studio Quarterly," which will be "A Journal of Criticism, Arts and Opinions Concerning the Negro." The Rise and Fall of Concrete BY SYLVAN DROWN A Thrilling Two-Part Story of a Champion Who Was "Too Good" Starting Next Week—"Verna, The Irresistible" Continued From Last Week LAST INSTALLMENT As was his nightly custom, Concrete visited Jennie at her home, which was near the outskirts of the city. "Hello, big boy," she greeted. "How you feelin'?" "Fine, my Black Beauty. I'm in the pink of condition and it's just another workout for your he-man." And Concrete grinned as only he could grin. Jennie coyly sat on the sofa and Concrete lost little time in whispering the words every woman loves to hear, whether white, black, yellow, or red! It was past ten o'clock when Concrete finally left his damsel. Usually he stayed until past midnight, but Manager Wright insisted that he be in the hotel by ten-thirty on the nights previous to his fights. Just as Concrete reached a lumber yard, two masked men, with guns, stepped out; one spoke harshly: "Throw 'em up! Pronto, too!" Into the lumber yard, Concrete was marched. Although he was taken by surprise, it took Concrete but a moment to realize that his life was in danger. In the yard were three other men, also masked, and they grinned wickedly as Concrete stood before the leader. "You're due for a buggy ride," he declared in a rasping voice! "What for?" asked Concrete. "I ain't done nothin'. If youse want my money, youse all kin have it. But I can't understand the fire works." "You can't. huh? Well, you will when we're through with you." With that, the leader, who was none other than Cropsy, Willie Burns's right-hand man, winked at one of his henchmen, who immediately tied the black boy's wrists behind his back. He was then led to a wall in a remote part of the yard. "All right, boys," ordered the leader, let him have it." Concrete was powerless to prevent what happened. Fists, covered with "horseshoe" rings, cut his face to pieces. Not one word was uttered by any of the men, nor by Concrete, for he had been warned that if he yelled, a bullet would finish him. The last Concrete remembered was a blackjack descending upon his head. Tod Wright was pacing up and down the dressing room of the Twilight Boxing Arena. Never had the manager been so worried. He could not understand why Concrete had not returned to his room the night before. It was now ten o'clock and the semi-windup was half over. Wright had managed, somehow, to keep the news of Concrete's disappearance from becoming public, for he had implicit faith that his fighter would appear in time. Tod had spoken to Jennie, but it was beyond her to explain why her sweetheart had not returned to his home. Ten seventeen! Wright groaned as he glanced at his watch. Any moment the semi-final would be over. Suddenly, he turned towards the door. It opened, and in walked Concrete—but a different Concrete from the one who had left him the previous night. He was swathed in bandages; one eye was completely closed, the other half-way; his nose was four times its normal size, and his ears were cauliflowered for life. "Tell me, quick," velled Wright, "what happened." Concrete lost little time in relating his story. "And." the fighter concluded. "I was picked up this morning by two workmen of the lumber yard. An ambulance took me to the hospital, where they bandaged me up. I did not come to until a short time ago. I slipped one of the white coat boys a 'sawbuck' and he lets me loose." "Oh. so you had money. eh?" ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 7, 1930 A "Concrete swung his fist into the poor helpless waiter's face." "Yassah, they didn't touch my money." "I see! Well, we'll get to the bottom of that later. I think it best to ask for a postponement and sacrifice our $5,000 forfeit money." "No suh!" declared the black boy, "I feel all right. I'll smack this fighter down pronto." Concrete grinned again. "Anyways," he continued, "that mob learned me that word 'pronto' and I like it." Wright was thinking. Although he ha little doubt but that his man would win if he were in perfect condition, it seemed almost suicide to allow him to fight under the present circumstances. "Why," he thought, as he watched Concrete change to his trunks. "his face looks like it's been hobnobbin' with a meat cutter." "Nothin' doing! You're not gonna fight tonight. I'll take you out front and show the dear ol' public what this town's gang presented you with." "Listen," declared Concrete in a slow even voice. "I'm fightin' tonight. I'm going to show that mob ho a real champion fights." Wright looked into the champion's eyes. They were hard and there was that manner about him which foretold Wright that it would be useless to argue. Concrete slowly unwound the bandages and drew his bathrobe collar over his head. Wright smiled. "Gee," he breathed to himself, "I'd give my left eye for Mike Gibbons to see my champ tonight." Concrete kept his head lowered as he walked down the aisle. The cheers rang out, for the fans as well as the newspaper writers had heartily declared he'd be the "fightinest" champion of them all. A few moments later. Concrete went to the center of the ring to receive instructions from the referee. His head was still lowered, for he knew that should the referee see his face, the fight would be postponed. Back in his corner. Concrete faced Wright. his robe still protecting his face from the view of the fans and press. At the bell. Concrete whirled and dashed to the other side of the ring and took the Turkish champion by complete surprise. A right cross to the head and a left hook to the stomach had Ahmend gasping for breath. "My God," cried a sports writer, who had covered boxing bouts for the last twenty years. "Look at Concrete's face!" But the rest of the fans, as well as other correspondents, had viewed Concrete's profile just as quickly. The referee bit his lip, as he realized that he had pulled a blunder by allowing Concrete to fight. Allowing? Hell! The ebony one hadn't even discussed it. Well, he'd stop this bout right now. But Concrete had other ideas. He had figured, in his own way, that the referee would send him to his corner the moment he saw his face. So there was only one thing to do, a speedy knockout—one that was bronto. As the referee raised his hand to slap Concrete on the back, the colored boy shot over a terrific right to the point of the chin, and Turkey's hopes for a world's champion were eliminated right there and then, as far as 3 the middleweight division was concerned. The ovation Concrete received was one which lasted over ten minutes. Here was a man who had entered the ring when he should have been in a hospital. Wright, a great believer in publicity, had informed a few of the front seat boys and the press how his champion had been cowardly attacked. It may well be imagined how that news had spread throughout the arena. Concrete was carried to his dressing room, where he noted that his manager was not present. Never before had Wright left him. There was a knock at the door, and an attendant informed the victor that Miss Jennie White was desirous of entering his sanctum. Five minutes later, lone photographer, was vibrant with excitement, as he made his way to his office, for he had the pictures of Concrete Brown, Middleweight Champion of the World, and Jennie White, in a famous clinch! Tod Wright entered upon the blushing couple. "Give us a shake, Mr. Wright, whispered Concrete. "We're engaged." Concrete hastily changed the subject by inquiring where Tod had been. "Oh," said the manager with a glint in his eyes, "I saw Willie Burns and I had a long talk with him. He's on his way to Canada or Mexico by now. You see, I had an idea that he was the man behind the job when you received that lacing last night. And after pumping him, he admitted it." Concrete groaned. "Why didn't you tell me, Mr. Wright; I'd have certainly given him a trip to the hospital. Ten minutes alone in a room with him and I'd have got my revenge." "I know, Concrete," soothed Wright, "how you feel. But I let him go for old time's sake. He and I were very close for a long while and I didn't relish sending him to jail." A laugh rang out. And Wright was relieved. "All right, Mr. Wright, you're the boss. I'm willin' to forget it. For, after ali. I have Jennie and everything else." Concrete was like that! **** Time brings many changes, and it did in Concrete Brown. He continued to win battle after battle, but success had gone completely to his head. He tasted the fruits of the King and enjoyed every moment immensely. He became unruly and uncontrollable. Wright was powerless to do anything with him. And as for training, that was virtually a thing of the past, unless it was just for the benefit of newspaper men or to show his prowess for his Queen, Jennie White. Wright would have given him the "gate," but his business acumen rebelled, for, after all, Concrete was a champion, and one who was making money for him. So, after a procession of arguments, Wright decided to let his once idol go his own way, hoping against hope that Concrete would some day come to his senses. As for Jennie White, she gloried in her position. Life was all honey to her. Concrete gave her elaborate gifts, and everywhere she was feted as the champion's sweetheart. Other colored maidens gave her envious glances, which Jennie White loved—more than she loved Concrete Brown. But he never knew that, for he continued to spend all his money on his fiancee without ever a thought for the future, when he would be King no more. One day Wright walked into a restaurant, when he heard Concrete's voice. The Negro champion was speaking in a nasty tone to a waiter. "Awful!" "What's awful, sir?" asked the waiter. "The fish—and you, too!" And bang! Concrete swung his fist into the poor helpless waiter's face. Down he crashed with half a dozen dishes on top of him. "You all knew the fish was awful. Continued on Page Four The Rise And Fall of Concrete 4 Continued From Page Three Next time I come in here again youse give me good fish, or they'll fish you out of the Hudson River." Wright was disgusted. To hit a defenseless man was an outrage, and the manager told Concrete so. "Oh, yeh? Well, ain't that just too bad." And he turned on his heel and walked out. Wright left the restaurant imme- CONSTIPATION?

Two days later, Wright matched his battler with Dusky Rhodes, another colored pugilist, who was coming fast. He had won every one of his last eighteen fights. When Wright told Concrete of the match, all Concrete said was, "I guess I'll knock him out easy." "Yes, you will-not," shot back his manager quickly. "This boy's good and I advise you to start training." "You can advise, but that's all, for I ain't gonna train till I get ready, see? Wright smiled. "I expected that. After this fight's over, you get a new manager. Now see to that!" "All right, all right. I don't need no manager no how. I can manage my own affairs, I can." "Well, we'll see!" There was tense silence as Concrete Brown stepped through the ropes of the Twilight Boxing Club. Then there was an uproar. The people cheered and shouted. Their idol was again going to give them the action they had looked forward to so many days. Concrete was full of smiles as he stood in his corner. He was happy. He was thinking. "With this money I get for this fight and what other money I have that I've betted on that I'd win this battle, I'll be able to marry Jennie." His eyes rolled. Wright was taping Concrete's left hand and had started to reach for his right hand when Concrete let out hoarse groan. Quickly Wright looked at Concrete. The man had turned almost pink. His eyes were on the person who had entered the ring in the opposite corner. "What's wrong?" asked Wright anxiously. "Who's that man?" "Dusky Rhodes. The man you're to fight." "Oh," exclaimed Concrete. "That's Ignatz Robbins!" "You must be mistaken. That's Rhodes. Wait, I'll ask him." In a few moments Wright returned. "You're right, that is he. He used to call himself Robbins, but recently he changed his name to Rhodes. Why—" Just then Dusky Rhodes walked up to the shaking Concrete and said: "I see you all recognize me, doncha?" Concrete did not answer. "Well," continued Concrete's opponent, "when this fight's over, you're going to be Concrete Brown but without the title." "What's all this?" asked Wright, who was astonished at this conversation between the pugilists. "Only this," said the grinning Rhodes. "About four years ago, Mister Concrete and myself met in Savannah, and I knocked him out with three punches. This time I'll do it in two, or maybe one punch, huh, Concrete?" Concrete appeared as if he wished he was anywhere but there a that particular moment. The referee interfered before Concrete had a chance to answer. After the referee gave his orders, the ring was cleared and the men went to their corners. Concrete's features changed. No longer was he confident or happy. The thought of that knockout by the man he was to fight now had scared him horribly. On the other hand, Rhodes was still grinning. The gong! Dusky leaped at Concrete and smashed him on his chin! Down went Concrete. He managed to arise at eight. Rhodes was at him like a tiger and again punched Concrete on the jaw. The referee counted the required ten. What Rhodes had said had come true—only two punches were necessary. The crowd was astonished, and after recovering from its surprise, cheered the new champion and almost as quickly forgot the man who had given ther more than their money's worth dozens of times. When Concrete came to, he saw Jennie White in Dusky's corner. He walked over and said angrily, "What you doing here, Jennie?" "Go away, man," she said. "Dusky is my old sweetheart. I married him today." Concrete was heartbroken. His air castles had fallen, and all that remained were bitter memories. In the dressing room. Wright watched as Concrete, who acted like a man in a trance, slowly dressed. The exchampion's eyes were filled with tears and his mouth twitched. Finally he looked up. "I'm sorry, Mr. Wright, for the way I acted towards you. Will you forgive me?" "Sure, Concrete." spoke Wright, "I'm with you. We can start over again. As a fighting champion you are deserving of a crack at the title. I'll attend to that, believe me!" Concrete smiled sadly. "Thank you, M. Wright, but I reckon I've got enough. I'm going back home, down South Some day, maybe, I'll return, but now I must say goodbye." TRAINING THE CHILD By ELISE AYER est illness on her part was sufficient cause in her mind to keep her daughter at home to do the house work. She was angered and surprised to learn that this was not her right. Better schools have stricter rules. Obedience to them is the price to be paid. More lessons and better results are required and, with the aim of comin always in mind, the parent should co-operate closely. Neater appearance and sounder health standards should be welcomed by the parent. The privilege of living in the more enlightened parts of the country brings with it more responsibilities. After the school the mother should look for the public library. There her children will find good books to take home and read; and cheerful rooms to quietly use those books which cannot be removed. There is no excuse for soiling, tearing or otherwise destroying public books. Mothers should teach their children that this takes pleasure away from other children. Should books be lost, children should be trained to report the matter promptly to their mothers. They should personally see to it that the books are found or paid for. Recently, many schools have had to help the libraries enforce their rules. In one instance, a child in an eighth grade had kept a book out a whole year and ignored all the attempts of the library to recover its property. This child finally stayed away from the library and gave up the valuable privilege, rather than pay for the lost book. The worst feature was the indifference on the part of the mother. The proper use of these great institutions: the school and the library, should be taught to children by their parents.

Bald, a bit feeble, and with the lines well drawn about his face, this former slave who is now county humane officer is, in the flesh, only an image of his pictures of half a century, or even of two decades ago. But his spirit has not suffered; it may have been mellowed by age but it is still vigorous. Mr. Clark was born sometime in April (he doesn't remember the exact date) about a hundred years ago. Desoto county, Mississippi, is his birthplace. Having been born into slavery, his mother was parted from him before he had a chance to learn from her the exact date of his birth. When asked about his natal date, Mr. Clark mischievously states that he "celebrates the whole month of April" as his birthday. For sixteen years Ansel Clark has been humane officer of Portage, and up to this day he trudges down town every day to see that the animals, especially the horses, are not ill-treated. He likes his work though the walk is a rather taxing one for a centenarian. But Mr. Clark being vigorous for one of his age does it with surprising ease.

BUNKER Nationally Known Grapho-Analyst THE VALUE OF HANDWRITING ANALYSIS "What does handwriting analysis do?" and "What does it offer to the man or woman who wishes to study it?" are questions that I am constantly being asked. Handwriting analysis does one thing. It gives the writer of a handwriting specimen an opportunity to see the defects in his own nature, to learn the possibilities or talents that he has, and so make something worth while out of his life. Chas. P. Steinmetz, the great electrical wizard, found the one field where he could make a success and as a result gave us some of the most astounding electrical developments that man has ever had. On the other hand, if he had been trained to be a preacher or a lawyer, he would have been an utter failure because his natural talent was along the mechanical or creative line. It is equally true that there are thousands upon thousands -countless thousands -of men and women who are miserable and unhappy in the work they are doing, simply because they are not doing the one thing for which they have been fitted. Now the man or woman who is trained to make such an analysis or determine what the truth is, as told by handwriting, has a field that is uncrowded, and that gives a wonderful opportunity for service to others. In Germany and in France, the trained Grapho-analyst fills an important place in the business, social and professional life of a neighborhood and this is coming to be the case in this country. Grapho-Analysis is going to be recognized as a profession, just as law and medicine are now recognized as professions. These latter two deal with the physical plane, whereas the grapho-analyst deals with the mental and so helps men and women find success and happiness in life.

SAF ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 7. 1930 My dear there is no such thing as an "old maid" now. Forget such terms! It is true that in the hinterland, away from the sophistication of the big cities such marriages still call forth society's ridicule, but that is rapidly passing. People are beginning to see that a mere difference in age will not necessarily be a handicap in marriage. In the first place. age is not so much chronological as a matter of physical health. A well preserved woman of fifty can be actually younger than a sickly man of thirty. If your sweetheart pays no attention to ridicule before marriage. he probably won't afterwards. Of course, you will have to be more careful of your appearance and more alert than an ordinary wife, but that really won't hurt you. We all need something to inspire us to look and act our best. If you are willing to take a chance go ahead. If your sweetheart is thirty-five, he is old enough to know what he wants. to give the desired flavor, which has the advantage of making a little ham go a long way. For picnics, this can be baked at home in a heavy tin dish with a cover and reheated over hot water on a campfire. RASPBERRY JAM DELIGHT This is the simplest recipe imaginable.

WHITE 504 AMBER 304 HAIR RESSING TRAIGHT HAIR Masterpieces of Exotic Art Continued from Page One Fashions in pottery change as rapidly as the creations of feminine attire; and one needs but a solitary glance at the unique display of unequalled pottery to convince one that Renold Renfro is more than equal to the most prolific efforts of our modern gown designers. During the summer months of the year and frequently in the winter, hundreds of tourists visit this picturesque spot in Southeast Missouri and leave with the picture clinging like a leach to their minds—the picture of the unusual phenomena of trees sprouting pottery from their branches gray bulks which are antiquated log cabins, smoky kilns, and the pleasant face of the molder of clay indeed a picture to be remembered. Here at this pottery plant, one sees an intensely interesting parade of pitchers, vases, trays, candlesticks, urns, busts and figures of ancient statesmen; and the heroes of mythology pass within range of one's observation. The first favorable impression is one that cannot be shaken off. No matter where your travels have taken you, no matter into what country you have gone, you realize that you have never seen before such a conglomeration of artistic accomplishments as these which have been carved from these crude materials. Additionally one beholds practical earthenware which should be used in the kitchen of the modern home, made to contain water and food in the same way as the mysterious mound builders. This assortment of ornaments and ingenious objects is neatly arranged in conspicuous locations. One is not slow to realize the value of these objects d'art when once they have been carefully examined; still Ronold Renfro does not sell by mail, nor does he respond to interrogative letters. Every piece of pottery he makes is sold there on the old home place. There is a glamour of romance woven about the fantastic shapes, the motley colors, the heads in relief and there is romance twined about the life of the talented dark-skinned artisan. It has required strength of character, determination, the conquering of bitter hardships to continue the dreams of forty-eight years ago, but that is what Renfro has achieved. Located on a country road three miles from the noises of a traffic-bartered town, where it is still and quiet, and where in the summer time silver fish splash in the cool waters of deep streams and where brown gloom thickens when the twilight comes, and where fireflies blast the solid blackness of the night, these marvellous pieces of art grace the spaces. The pottery maker has traveled extensively in quest of further knowledge, but has allowed nothing to interfere with the originality of his plan. A piece of Renfro pottery is as unmistakably distinct as the machinery with which it is made. The fire that heats and hardens the clay has left its mark on the face of the admirable worker. There is the rattle, the clang, the ripping tear of machinery; the clank of the harness chains, the unceasing thud of hoofbeats of the tireless draught horses traveling their endless circle around a crude mill in which the clay is mixed, dragging a French Love Drops French Love Drops An enchanting exotic perfume of irresistible charm, clinging for hours like lovers loath to part. Just a few drops are enough. Full size bottle 98c, prepaid or $1.39 C.O.D. plus postage. Directions with every order. FREE: 1 full size bottle if you order 2ials. D'ORO CO.

Hundreds who were childless for years, kindless for years, suddenly found themselves in a state of blissful anticipation due to the remarkable influence of my private prescription, "Steriltone." Its success in relieving sterility, due to functional weakness in many cases, is truly wonderful. Mrs. Mary Etters of 5 Tenth St., Braddock, Pa..

Every married woman who has been denied motherhood, due to functional weakness, and who really wants children, should write at once for a free trial of my treatment and a free copy of my booklet, "A Baby in Your Home," which tells how to use it and many other things every woman should know.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 7, 1930 long pole which revolves the mixing wheels. The trees are filled with crockery while the walls of the cabins are lined with wares of different sorts; these objects cling in stirring variety; a few churns, some vases, several asn trays, a lamp, urns, jugs, pitchers, crocks; candle-holders wall ornaments, grinning old men and grotesque, leering death masks; these are the staples. Renold Renfro discussed how some women visitors declared they would not soil their hands in the dirty, clayey stuff—and yet, as he pointed out so clearly, those very same women would go to the nearest beauty parlors and pay exorbitant prices to have clay put upon their faces. The beauty of those iridescent shades were brought forth from the ground—the vivid contrast between the finished product and the crude ways of achieving that same; the ash heaps all about, a pot-bellied stove of ancient origin; from the crotch of a tree a diabolically grinning face hung by a wire, yet artistic to the last degree. And therein lies success, even though not in the weight of accumulated riches, but rather in the weight of real accomplishment. Renold Renfro as done much to establish the talents of a colored man who for a long time was deprived of the advantages necessary to the pursuit of an artistic career, but he has come through on sheer pluck alone.

THE WOMEN'S HOME Young Woman Well and Strong "My mother gave me Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound when I was sixteen and it made a woman of me. I was feeling miserable and would cry most of the time. I eat and sleep well and have lots of pep. In fact, I feel well and strong and can do the work I have to. We keep a rooming house and have seven people to cook for. I am glad to tell people what the Vegetable Compound has done for me."—Margaret Williams, 913 Arnaco Street, Alexandria, Virginia. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound How To Be Beautiful By GERALDINE FOX The Distinguished Auth SMILE Of all the things that I would say in my suggestions on how to be healthy and also beautiful, there is one thing that I can assure you will work marvels in both physical health and in the happiness of the soul. Learn to smile. You may think it funny but a smile is just as much a medicine as a grouch or a frown is a poison. Think over the people that you know. There are some possibly who are always smiling and still are unhealthy, but the majority of people who have learned how to smile keep in pretty good physical condition. Here and there though you will find a man or woman who is always grouchy. They are unpleasant, they are snappish and if you will look them over carefully you will find that they are also usually complaining of something the matter with them or maybe you think that the condition of their health has caused the grouch but a good many times you will also find that the grouch has caused the unhealthy condition. For this reason, I want to say to you ladies who want to keep pretty and you men who want to keep healthy that there is nothing much more important that you can do and that costs you less than to learn to smile. The doctors have a lot of long terms that they use in telling about the reason why a smile helps to make you healthy and pretty but we can lay aside all the mystery of their language and know that this is a fact; a smile does do something to the human body that is curative. It helps to alleviate or drive away pain. It helps to build up health, and it also helps to build up happiness and happiness means beauty nine times out of ten. You may have to fake some of the smiles that you use. Over a breaking heart or an unhappy life you may have to put up a false front but that false front helps to sell you to people and that sale is bound to make you friends and those friends will give you something to smile about. Therefore, no matter what advice you may find in this column, take this DANIEL L. HAYNES says, "The close-up reveals even the slightest blemish.

Place Philadelphia cream cheese in the centre of a bed of lettuce. Arrange 5 or 6 orange sections around the cheese to resemble the petals of the poinsettia, putting thin slices of pimento on top of each section. The strips of pimento may be curved to represent a cane and will make a more effective decoration. Serve with mayonnaise in the centre of the cheese and decorate with pieces of green pepper cut in diamond shapes.
