VOLUME III No. 30 --- GAY PUBLIC LIBRARY 5TH AVE JEFFERSON VOLUME III No.30 NEGRO YOUTH FAILS TO PASS NAVAL EXAMS Admits His Failure Was Not Result of Predjudice Blames Himself NEW YORK-William Chisholm, seventeen-year-old Negro freshman at Columbia University, who sought to enter Annapolis, admitted yesterday that no racial discrimination had been exercised against him but that he had failed in his examinations for the Naval Academy several weeks ago. When seen at his brother's home 102 Bradhurst Avenue, Chisholm said that his failure was entirely his own fault. His decision to take the preliminary examinations had been made a few days before they were given, and he did not have adequate time to prepare. When he was notified that he had qualified for the final examination he had only a month to prepare for six tests, and at the same time had to sit for five final examinations at Columbia. Chisholm is the first Negro in fifty-six years to have had a chance to enter Annapolis. He said he probably would try again next year, but that he had not definitely decided. He explained that he had resigned from the Columbia freshman crew in order to have more opportunity for study. But when the time for the Annapolis examination came he knew he was not prepared, so his failure did not surprise him. Chisholm has always been an honor student and has won medals for everything from oratory to essays. He hopes to get employment this summer, and in the autumn he will return to Columbia.

MAMMY" GREAT WITH JOLSON The greatest blackface comedian the world has ever known, has seen given a picture that is just made to order for him. To quote Al Jolson himself—"I'm at the Roosevelt Theater in the story I've always wanted to bring to the talking screen, a big love story with lots of laughs, Irving Berlin songs, and a heart-tug or two—"Mammy"—you'll see me as you-ve seen me in my stage hits." "Mammy" gives us Al Jolson as we love him and as he loves to be, for he just lets loose this trip and is his own self all over the place, entertaining as only he can entertain. And sing—say—wait'll Al pours forth "Let Me Sing and I'm Happy," and "To My Mammy"—"The Call of the South" and "Across the Breakfast Table Looking at You." BEG YOUR PARDON! In last week's issue of the Gary American, an article appeared in which it was stated that Sam Williams, 2676 Adams street, was awarded a divorce. Mrs. Williams, instead of the usband was awarded the divorce. "Do you know who is in the hospital?" "No. Who?" "Sick people."

Professor to Serve During Absence of Johnson Says A Report WASHINGTON—Dean Dwight O. V. Holmes of the College of Education was named by President Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard University as acting president during the absence of Dr. Johnson on the survey of President Hoover's Educational Committee in Haiti. The announcement was made by President Johnson this morning at a meeting of the administrative officers in the board room of Carnegie Library, and becomes effective as of 3 p. m. June 10, the time of Dr. Johnson's sailing from New York. Dean Holmes is the ranking dean of the university, having been appointed to the position in 1920. He is the second Negro to hold the office of acting president of the university, the other being the Honorable John M. Langston, who served from December 1, 1873 to June 16, 1875. The action was authorized under the second section of Article 9 By-Laws of the Board of Trustees, which states: "In the case of temporary absence of the president of the university, he shall appoint some member of the faculty who shall perform the ordinary duties of the office until his return or until other-wise provided for by the board." (Continued on Page Five) Despite Business Depression Notable Strides Are Being Made BUFFALO, N. Y.—That the Negro in America has gained more than he has lost in the changing structure was the consensus of opinion of those experts, social workers and economists who assembled once of the National Urban League, here to attend the annual confer- The theme of the conference—Vocational Opportunity for Negro workers—served as the magnet which attracted a large number of the leaders of both races to what is considered to have been the most successful conference in the history of the Urban League movement. In addition to the representatives of the Urban League, which included not only the secretarial staffs and many Executive Board members from over fifty cities affiliated with the Urban League movement, there were many laymen of both races who came to participate in the discussion of this important question. For the first time in America the industrial status of the Negro was critically analyzed and a graphic picture of his future place in industry projected. At the same time, a stirring plea was made for larger industrial opportunities for Negro men and women. The general excellency of sessions which which were addressed by many out standing figures in the field of sociology and economics can be readily seen by the following names which grace the program: Meredith B. Givens, Research Secretary of the Social Science Research Council; T. Arnold Hill, National Nrban Lea- WILLIAM HODSON, National Urban League; William Hodson, director of the Welfare Council, New York; Niles Carpenter, professor of Chicago Settlement; Miss Mary Van Kleeck, of the Russell Sage Foundation; Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Director of the National Urban League; Franklin Hopper of the New York Public Library; L. Hollingsworth Wood, chairman of the Executive Board of the National Urban League; Dr. Sadie Alexander Philadelphia; whose remarkable paper on the Negro woman in Industry held the attention of three hundred dinner guests at the Hotel Statler. Other speakers were Ira DeA Reid, Director of Research of the National Urban League and E. A. Carter, editor of Opportunity. It was generally conceded that the success of the conference in Buffalo was due to the smooth working machinery which was created and developed by William L Evans, executive secretary of Memorial Center and Urban League, Inc. and his executive board. Among the others in attendance at the conference were George Arthur of the Rosenwald Foundation, Chicago, Ill.; James Jackson, U. S. Department of Commerce, Gertrude Brown, Phyllis Wheatley House, Minneapolis; Forrester Washington, Atlanta School of Social Work, Dr. Monroe Work of Tuskegee Institute. MAGAZINE HAS GOOD TOPICS Ira DeA. Reid renews the attack of the younger Negro intellectuals on the American Labor Movement in a scorching article, "Lily White Labor," in the June number of Opportunity. In brilliant fashion J. A.

THE REVOLT IN IND With her fame as a beauty already established, Miss Theresa Jentry, above, of New York, will again compete this year for the honor of being proclaimed America's most beautiful bathing girl. She won the title of "Miss Savoy" two years ago, and was adjudged the most attractive bathing girl in the contest. THE REVOLT IN INDIA By Wm. A. Lorden By Wm. A. Lorden When I was asked to contribute a series of articles on this present day international problem and its possible effects on the thought and life of Negroes, two thoughts suddenly obsessed me. The first — Did not this wave of dissatisfaction that has trained the eyes of the world upon India have its beginning with Negroes themselves? It was no doubt the resentment of the Belgian inhumanity in the Congo and the mass slaughtering of the natives that quickened the urge for universal liberty. It is true that the Indian disturbance has been smoldering for several decades, but the sacrifice of human life in the Congo served to flare the secret murmurings into rebellious flames. The second question was born of the first. Can the Negro Intellectuals of America be identified in the category with that genuine, efficient, and unadulterated leadership of this social confusion that has permeated the world? Is there a Mahatma Gandhi in America? The answer to this question would serve a fitting beginning for a series of articles on this quiet interesting and "noble experiment." True to their characteristics, we see at once, pondering with unmistakable gusto, the Negro Intellectuals of America declaring that this movement in India is but an index to the latent "plans for insurrection" within their own "keen" and "highly cultivated" brains. Bishops, Minjsters, lawyers and all take a certain pride in the manly activi- buty already established, Miss New York, will again compete proclaimed America's most won the title of "Miss Savoy" led the most attractive bath- LT IN INDIA ties of Gandhi. Our editors and even Mr. Dubois gather on the outside of the fence (at a safe distance), grin and nudge each other with extended eibows from popping suspenders as little freckled faced Mahatma within the fence poke out his red tongue at the enraged John "Bull". It is truly a goregous comedy of the Negro Intellectuals. There is but one point in common shared by the oppressed Indians of India and the oppressed Negroes of America, and that is, they are both oppressed. Then not being able to see the Gandhi leadership and the Negro leadership in America, I shall point out their unlikeness. To begin with—while there is division of leadership among Negroes of America, there is solidarity of purpose in India. It may be pointed out that there are Indian objectors to the policies of Gandhi; yet it must be corrected that Gandhi controls a comfortable majority, so comfortable that Great Britain is uncomfortable. Without dwelling at length on this worn out jargon of "division among Negroes", we shall classify our leaders according to their social conceptions and examine the results. There are in the palm two distinct groups of leaders among Negroes in America; both influencing about a fifth of the people each leaving about three fifths without leadership or to follow other leaders whom I shall mention in another article. The first group is born of submissiveness and nurtured on (Continued on Page Four) DEPRIEST TO BE SPEAKER AT FROEBEL Congressman Oscar DePriest, representative of the first congressional district of Illinois, will speak Monday evening, June 16, at 8 o'clock at the Froebel auditorium. Congressman DePriest will be brought here under the auspices of Hunton Branch of the Y. M. C. A. Since his appearance here more than a year ago many international problems have happened, and his address beyond question will be replete with valuable information. In contributing his services to the association, an admission fee of 50 cents will be charge to assist the Y. M. C. A. DR. HUDSON ON N.A.A.C.P.BOARD NEW YORK-The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, has received notification from Dr. H. Claude Hudson, president of the Los Angeles branch that he has accepted membership on the N. A. A. C. P. board of directors, to which he was elected at its last regular meeting. Under the leadership of Dr. Hudson, the Los Angeles branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has been one of the outstanding units in the Association, being host to the highly successful 19th annual conference in 1928. In that year the Los Angeles branch led all other branches of the country in amount of money sent to the National office. In his letter of acceptance, Dr. Hudson writes that he considers it "an opportunity and a privilege to be a national officer of this great moral force." Dr. Hudson was recently appointed by the Mayor of Los Angeles to be one of thirty leading citizens forming the Citizens Water Bond Campaign committee, to do necessary education work for the financing of the city's water supply. Dr. Dr. Hudson is the only colored member of that committee. Concerning this Dr. Hudson writes: "To have won a place of recognition in a great city like this is a source of pride to me, and when I tell you that I have gained this recognition fighting for the principles of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People you will realize that the honor is noteworthy." REV. SIMMONS LEAVES PULPIT Rev. A. Simmons, a member of Lexington Conference of the M. E. Church, after 47 years of continual activity in the itinerant ministry, retired at the recent session of the Lexington Conference held in Detroit, Mich. He and his wife will reside in Gary with his son-in-law, and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Wm Mitchell of 2300 Connecticut Street BUDDY ROGERS IN NEW ROLE America's "Boy Friend" is back None other than Charles "Buddy" Rogers, in a picture that is just suited to him, "Safety in Numbers.' He opens at the Oriental Theater Friday, June 13th, for one week. The average man, married or single, finds disaster in flirting with more than one or at the most two women. "Buddy" laughs at conventions and customs and carries or with four no less. These four little ladies were about the prettiest and cutiest that Paramount could find in Hollywood. As a result it was no effort at all for the "boy friend" to act in this picture. What one of the heartstealers doesn't think up the others do; and all over a paltry $25,000,000 that has been left to "Buddy." Metals are developing new uses For example, metallized paper now is being used. The paper is sprayed with an extremely thin film or lead or copper which leaves it flexible and foldable and still makes it difficult to tear and gives it long wearing qualities. HOME EDITION DR. S. CADMAN ADDRESSES N. C. COLLEGE GRADS FAMILY MAN NOW THE FATHER AND SONS OF JOHN B. BROWN Ten years ago, Howard Drew was a sensation track star. As a star athlete at the University of Southern California, his fame as a runner in the 50 and 100 yard dash was known all over the country. Drew, shown above, is a retired family man now. Above photo shows him with his two children. Noted New York Minister Principal Speaker at Negro School DURHAM, N. C.—With the delivering of the graduating address Thursday morning, June 5. Dr. S Parkes Cadman, noted thinker and pastor of the Central Congregation al church of Brooklyn, N. Y., and the awarding of diplomas to L graduates, the North Carolina College for Negroes brought to a close one of the most successful commencements in its history. Selecting for his subject "Imagination in Life," Dr. Cadman implored the graduates that they develop a "pure and well-disciplined imagination." He told them that, although they had finished the academic courses, they were facing the greatest lessons in life—the lessons to be learned only from the great book of life and experience. Defining imagination as the only "connecting and reconciliating force between bodily forces and desires and physical accomplishments" the speaker pointed out the influence that vision and imagination has on life. He further entreated the graduates to acquire for themselves a clear and comprehensive conception of religion, which he declared should be based firmly upon "sacrificial love. If, however, your lives are based upon "sacrificial love, you will finally be brought into the everlasting presence of the Eternal Father." Another interesting feature of the commencement exercises was the baccalaurcate sermon, delivered Sunday afternoon, June 1, by Dr. Gordon B. Hancock, of Union University, Richmond, Va., William H. Harrison member of the Illinois Parole Board, Chicago, delivered a very interesting address before the joint literary societies during the commencement. Dr. J. E. Shepard, president of the college, declares that the past fiscal year has been the most successful during the history of the institution. Price 3 cents SEEK TO GET WM. E. BURRUS FOR J. P. POST Commissioners Urged To Keep Post Within Negro Group That Lake County commissioners should appoint a colored man to fill the office soon to be made vacant by the resignation of Justice W. C. Hueston was the opinion expressed by many today as the hour for naming a successor to Justice Hueston draws nearer at hand. The commissioners are scheduled to meet in Crown Point next Monday. At that time, it is understood that they will name some one to succeed Justice Hueston. Insistent Upon Race Man According to opinions gathered by The Gary American from many sources in the county, the office should go to a Negro, and he should be allowed to fill out the term of Justice Hueaton. These people declare that the present Republican nominees for justice of peace are both white, and that if the county commissioners do not select a colored man for the office, the petition will be lost to the race for the next five years at least. The most likely candidate for the office and the one most greatly favored is William E. Burrus, former Third ward councilman. Burrus appeared today to be strongest contender for the office. He has received the endorsements of several lodges, as well as lawyers, ministers and others in the county. Burrus is a pioneer of Gary, coming here in 1809. He has been a staunch Republican all his life. In addition to Burrus, several others are seeking the office, among them B. J. Laube, white, a former justice of the peace and at present a nominee on the republican ticket for the office. Criticism was directed at Laube today for his efforts to seek the appointment. This was based upon the fact that Laube is already the Republican nominee for the office, and will, no doubt be duly elected in November, as the Republican nomination in Lake County is tantamount to election. Burrus' long residence in Gary, his many years service to the party and his known ability and experience, are qualities, many point out, which should entitle him to the appointment. CHICAGO FEEDS WORLD, SAYS FOOD EXPERT Chicago is the bread basket of the world! Not only the butcher but now Chicago's the baker of the nation. Two and a half million dollars worth of food—that's Chicago's annual contribution to the world's three square meals a day! Chicago today, as the central market of the United States, distributes a greater bulk of foods, meats, grains, fruits and vegetables than any other city, according to Harry F. Stickney, president of the Chicago-Cook County Retail Grocers and Butcher's Association, announcing the Food Show to be held at Navy Pier June 15. to 29. "According to Association of Commerce tabulations, Chicago in 1926 sold at wholesale $1,734,000,000 worth of food, and at retail $650,000,000," Mr. Stickney said, "representing a greater volume of business in this one item than has ever been done by any other western city in all classes of merchandise combined. "Meats represent Chicago's greatest food-distribution item, with a world-wide sales volume of approximately two billion dollars. Next to meats in importance are groceries and delicatessen, fruits and vegetables, dairy and poultry products, bakery and confectionery, coffee and spices, and cigars and tobacco." "More than a million barrels of salt are shipped here for distribution annually and eight hundred thousand shipped out.

Already nearly one dozen Clover Farm stores have been opencd in Gary, and the public is beginning to learn that much can be saved in making purchases through this na- tion-wide chain of markets and gro- cery stores. — Realizing the advantage of mass merchandising and mass advertis- ing the Clover Farm Stores com- pany is endeavoring to bring to the American public low prices on quality merchandise through the medium of the home owned local individual retail grocer, offering a plan through which the small mer- chant may take advantages of mass buying to obtain greater purchas- ing values in high class lines and the organization is gaining hun- dreds of members each week thru- out the country. An important feature of the Clo- ver Farm Stores company plan and one distinctly separate from its oth- er attractions is the co-operation #iven the retail merchant in re-ar- ranging his store in order that the greatest efficiency of stock display may be obtained from his fixtures. Supervisors of the company assist grocer members in arranging their stores in the most attractive and éfficient and sanitary — manner Goods are so arranged that they will sell most readily with the least attention of the owner. Members’ stores are remodeled and redecorated in green and ivory colors adopted by the national or- ganization as the official colors of the Clover Farm Stores company. ‘Over the entrance hangs a beautiful green and gold sign Clover Farm Store. While the plan of the Clover ‘Farm Stores company is the result of the thoughts and experience of [merchandising experts and supervi- sion is given by the national head- quarters, Clover Farm stores are owned and operated by residential Property owners and taxpayers, ‘whose profits are kept in circula- tion in their own home town. | The Clover Farm Store plan is an educational campaign to make a better merchant out of the retail grocer and to aid him to prosperity in order that he might serve his customers in a more efficient man- ner.

In order to do this stocks and be laid into cash. And this, it is said, for the panic of 1907. But one solution to the fire problem and safety consciousness on the public businesses. Fire is responsible for a direct money loss of about $500,000,000 a year. We all pay for this whether we individually have a fire or not. Heavy losses have an adverse effect on fire insurance rates. When destroped property is not rebuilt the taxes such property would have paid must be borne by others. These facts enter into the operation of every business and are items of importance in determining the cost of living. They affect, in one way or another, the price of every purchase, whether it is a home or a loaf of bread. When the operation of a major business is interrupted by fire, the result is striking. Men are thrown out of work and families deprived of their living. Purchases of all kinds are curtailed. Business goes elsewhere to the detriment of the entire community. Savings in banks are drawn upon and amusement places are not patronized. Fires have caused exoduses from towns, leaving behind only poverty and ruin. The effect of a great fire may be nation-wide. Following the San Francisco disaster fire insurance companies were called upon to immediately raise $220,000,000 to pay their losses. In order to do this stocks and bonds had to be transferred into cash. And this, it is said, was largely responsible for the panic of 1907. There is but one solution to the fire problem-an active, informed safety consciousness on the part of individuals and businesses. per cent of the crime in this co organized industry, and chances to escape are 85 per cent in his former amateur pistol champion, Seventy per cent of the crime in this country is committed by an organized industry, and chances for the criminal member to escape are 85 per cent in his favor, Karl Frederick, former amateur pistol champion, told the committee on commerce of the American Bar Association. Mr. Frederick asserted that most organizations seeking to prevent crime spend too much time considering the regulation of pistol sales when, as a matter of fact, only two per cent of pistols are owned by criminals. He urged the committee to consider the other 98 per cent of pistol owners who are law-abiding citizens. "When you attempt to regulate the sale of side arms," said Mr. Frederick, "you do not hit the criminal, because he can always make a pistol. It is a simple matter, and any high school youngster who knows anything about chemistry can manufacture gunpowder. "You cannot attempt to check crime by regulating pistol sales, because pistols do not cause crime. You must get to the root of the evil. End all political affiliation with crime and you are making good progress. Only the reformer believes that crime can be cured by legislation." PENALIZE THE GUILTY—NOT THE INNOCENT There seems to be confusion in the minds of many persons regarding the difference between licensing and prohibiting the ownership of small arms. There is little or no opposition to laws requiring licenses for the possession of revolvers or pistols, so long as such permits are available to respectable citizens without subjecting them to a maze of red tape or criminal classifications. It is doubtful if such laws, however, keep arms away from any criminals. It has been found that restrictive laws work only to the advantage of the underworld, for guns can be obtained in any number of ways by the criminal element and, if necessary, can be easily manufactured. Some time ago it was suggested that a law be passed by which a criminal caught with a gun in his possession, whether he used it or not, be automatically given a more severe sentence than an unarmed criminal. This is a sound suggestion for curbing gun-toting by criminals. It would not interfere with the rights of law-abiding citizens but would make criminals think twice before carrying on their "business" with the aid of fire arms.

"The cold climate invigorates." REVOLT IN INDIA (Continued from Page One) humility; a very commendable philosophy endorsed with "amens" by white Christianity. The most logical exponent of this school of social jargon is Robert Morton, who gives his aimless, objectiveless, and purposeless efforts dignity by nicknaming cowardice and spinelessness as wisdom and discretion. The adherents of this social dogma have been D. D. ed by white America and placed over state schools for Negroes in order to curb whatever genius they may possess for real sacrificing determination to teach race appreciation and manhood. This group feels proud of Gandhi because he believe in non-violence. They have not stopped to differentiate between non-violence and "non-resistance." They have gone so far as to be consoled with the idea that Gandhi's policy of "passive-resistance" is their social lethargy of "non-resistance." The difference between these two is that the former has an objective, the latter is an excuse not to fight. It is the patter of the pacificist. To this first group it has not yet been seen that the issue is not one of racial love and universal brotherhood, but it is the alternative, mastery of slavery, dominance or submission. This group has not seen that racial understanding and good will sought through the channels of racial admixture is but one of the world's worn platitudes still advocated by the fossilized brain. It has yet to see the very results they seek as the product of bi-lateral development of all races all retaining their characteristics at the apex of which the contributions of all may be mutually shared. Thus, we see no likeness here between this first school of social philosophy of Gandhi. Gandhi is milit-been cunning enough to touch the most vital support of a nation, its economic pillars. Whose economic pillar would our "leaders", who have been content to bask in the reflected glory, of Gandhi disturb or even propose to disturb? Really this recognition of themselves in the spirit of Gandhi by Negro Intellectuals is the finest bit of comedy we have had since Alabama and the Georgia Inter-Racial Committee made Robert Moton our "leader."

This week's floor show excels last week's a hundred percent with Kid Brown, Eob Bell, and George Edwards, stealing the honors for the night's entertainment. George Edwards scored heavily when he sang "A Brownskin Gal is the Best Gal of All" and the Kid sang "The End of the Road" and crooned the blues and strutted about the floor teen years as teacher, head of the department, and vice principal of Douglass High School in Baltimore. During his stay in Baltimore he was the first president of the Baltimore School Master's Club, and President of the Baltimore Teacher's Association. For four years he was president of the Howard University General Alumni Association. Dean Holmes came to Washington in 1917 as a teacher in Miner Normal School, where he served for two years. He became Registrar of Howard University 1919, and dean of the College of Education in 1920. During his administration of the College of Education, the enrollment has increased from 86 to 1919 to 919 in 1930, 968 per cent in the eleven years, or almost 90 per cent a year. To meet this rapid growth the faculty has been increased from two full time teachers in education from 1924-25 to twelve full time teachers in education in 1930-31. The work in education has been expanded by many additional courses, especially those on the graduate level. Last week the College of Education graduated the largest class from any single department in the history of the university. During the past two years, Dean Holmes has been president of the Association of Colleges of Negro Youth. During his administration, the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States has agreed to rate Southern his body swaying to the rythmic strains of syncopation from Dixon's orchestra, causing the patrons to become hysterical with joy, and Bobbie Bell caused quite a sensation when he danced a number called "The Wooden Soldier."

The very name of Eagle Rest struck me as being a trifle dull. Asa rule I like my vacations to be rather spicy—theaters, danc- ing, the popular shore resorts, and all that sort of thing. Consequently I could not imagine being able to enjoy these things in a little summer camp situated approximately twenty-five miles south of the Norfolk and Western railroad.

Yet, seriously. I had a very good reason for wishing to remain at the mountain camp a little longer. for I had become acquainted with two verv interesting men during the day; and tho: <- I probably could have managed to pull myself away from Ralph Miles, I found myself drawn more and more to the personality of the other man; to such an extent, in fact, that I flatly refused to leave Eagle Rest under at least another week. The point is, that one does not be- come acquainted with Hubert Hol- comb, former crack member of the Chicago Police Department, and easily forget the man: certainly not after listening to his version of the Carlisle Murder Case, the Mitchel Murder Case, the Simmons Murder Case, the Collins Murder Case, and the Griffin Murder Case—the first. of which I shall reconstruct here for your entertainment. as accurately and as briefly as possible, just as Holcomb related them to us. The three of us, Holcomb, Miles and I, soon formed a sort of crime- analysts association, and when other vacationists congregated on _ the south veranda, or went trekking among the pines, or any of a hun- dred things, we would betake our- selves to a certain darkened corner, on the north veranda—a broad cor- ner, away from the crowds, and equipped with three rather comfort- able chairs—and analyze. “Ye must have presented the ap- pearance of three Negro politicians on those nights—Holcomb, powerfully built, with a strong dark-skinned face: Ralph, tall cocoa-brown, a handsome devil, and I. I recall that we were talking about detective story writers that first night, Miles putting in the complaint that they were becoming too stand- ardized in style.

Ii: all there were six Nash children and Verna was the oldest. As in most Southern towns, there were no truant officers rounding up the _col- ored children, so none of the Nash offspring had troubled themselves about school. They scampered ‘through the trash heaps. weeds and bypaths of the grotesque Billy Goat Lane. getting into all sorts of devil-| ment, fighting, thieving and making themselves generally obnoxious. Mr. Nash could not and would not do anything with them. Mrs. Nash, with all of her aimless bluster, was equally - helpless. The neighbors dared not say anything to them for fear of their mother’s ter- rible tongue. So it was generally agreed in the environs of Billy Goat Lane that the Nash family was ab- solutely impossible and lost. without redemption. Their lowest neighbors avoided them as a plague. By all standards known to society, the house of Nash was hopeless. Conscious of Her Charms Nor was Verna much different at first. With the rest she ran and romped, her rags flapping in the breeze, wallowing in the mire with the other children, contentedly eating the greasy fat pork and corn bread ‘that was the family’s almost daily fare, and imagining that heaven con- sisted of an eternity of such existence. But_that was only until she was thir- teen. Then a combination of circum- stances radically changed her. First, ‘her mother, weary of taking care of her, put her out to service with a rich, white family on the other side of town. Secondly, she began to change from a long-legged gangling ‘boyish creature to the gentler, fuller curves of budding womanhood.

EVER since "Way Down Upon de Swanee Ribber" was composed by Stephen Collis Foster many years ago, it has been the best medium of expressing the longing of a homesick heart. No group of singers can render it more artistically or more expressively than the colored singers of Live Oak, Jasper, and Lake City, Florida, all of which are in the Suwanee River territory. THE FAMILY OF THE FAMILY OF THE FAMILY OF THE MR. JONES, the singing merchant of the Suwance Country, and his two daughters. The daughters are well educated and are splendid musicians. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 14. 1930 And of the Negro songsters of the Suwanee territory, none can sing it with more genuine expression than William Jones, a Negro merchant of the Suwanee river country, and his two daughters: for William was born and reared on the languorous banks of the Suwanee, and once knew in its most acute form the nostalgia, or homesickness. for the home of his boyhood. Before we tell William Jones's story, it is well to learn a bit about this fascinating part of the South. Everyone knows the song and everyone has unconsciously formed pictures in his or her mind of the romantic stream. It has been pictured as a place where life is easy-going, the sun warm, the air soft and balmy; wild flowers and fruits on its banks, gorgeous birds in the wayside trees and the dark water moving lazily towards the sunny Gulf of Mexico. When pictured thus, it is a true picture. In the song, the river is spelled "Swanee" because the composer wanted a word of two syllables; while on the maps it is spelled "Suwanee," and in Suwannee County, Florida, which is bounded on all sides except the east, by the tortuous convolutions of the stream. it is spelled with two "ns." "Suwanee" is an Indian word meaning, winding river. The Suwanee rises in the Okeefeenokee Swamp, a large swamp in the southeast part of Georgia, and adjoining Florida. On the old maps, the name "Suwanahoochie" is given that part of the river between the Florida line and Okeefeenokee swamp. It winds its crooked way in a southwesterly direction through Florida to the Gulf of Mexico, near Cedar Keys, the great fishing ground of the Gulf. Much of the country through which the Suwanee flows is still primitive and unsettled, while some of it was in cultivation a hundred A Picture of the Building years ago. Down towards the Gulf, deer graze and wild turkeys scratch for tidbits on its banks. In 1927, twenty-nine bears were killed along the Suwanee in Florida, near the Georgia line—and this is one of the oldest settlements in the state. Timber operations in Okeefeenokee Swamp drove the animals across the line. The water of the stream is dark and dreamy-looking; streamers and wreaths of Spanish moss from the overhanging trees almost touch the water; wild huckleberries, blueberries, dewberries, pecans, and cabbage palmettos grow on its banks; here and there is a cozy and peaceful little farm with happy little children playing on its banks. The river possesses all of the lure and homelike qualities the song implies. Even if the river had not been made famous by the song, its historic The image shows a person sitting in a relaxed posture with their legs crossed. They are wearing a dark-colored shirt and pants. The background is blurred, making it difficult to discern any specific details. THIS BEAR was captured when a cub near the Suwanee River in Florida, in 1927. Bears are often found in the swamps along the banks of the Dreamy River. NEAR THE MOUTH of the Suwanee, alligators may be seen. This one did not seem at all pleased at having his picture snapped. associations are well worth mention. White Springs, a natural fountain with great health-giving power on the bank of the Suwanee in North Florida, is reputed to be the fountain of eternal youth that Ponce De Leon sought. Near White Springs a stream called the Salmarie after the colored wife of Osceola, the great Seminole Indian chief, flows into the river. According to local tradition, it was across the river from White Springs that Osceola was sitting when his little child was mysteriously shot in its back, while playing.

So inexpensive, yet so effective. 4 ing to Suwanee River tradition, Osceola was born near the river in North Florida. This was the background, then, of the home for which William Jones, when a young man, suffered a tremendous attack of homesickness. He was a long ways from it at the time. It was at least ten times worse than seasickness, he admits. Mr. Jones is now a prosperous merchant in the Suwanee country and is a well-educated man. Let him tell the story in his own words. "I was born." said Mr. Jones, "on the banks of the Suwanee River about ten years after the close of the Civil War. My folks owned a good little farm near the river. We raised cotton, the joint sugar cane that grows in the South, tobacco, corn and peanuts and hogs. There was plenty of fish and game. We got along well and lived a happy, carefree life. "By and by, after I became a young man like, I became fed up, you might say, on the somnolent life and the monotonous existence on the little farm.

"I got a job, after a while, with an extra-gang on a railroad. The work finally carried us to New Orleans. "After one of our pay-days, some other young fellows and myself celebrated a little. I never was any hand to funnel liquor down and I've not touched a drop for a long time now, but I did drink some then, when out with other boys. Some of the boys said it was against the law to drink water in New Orleans at that time. There was no danger of the place drying up and going to staves. No, sir. "After a while I got separated from the others and wandered alone down to the river front. The river and everything else looked big and rosy to me, for then I had big ideas. "A big ship was anchored at the wharf and it was loading on hundreds of mules—big husky-looking animals. I was well-acquainted with mules and I stood and watched them put them on the ship. "By and by I said to one of the roustabouts leading mules onto the ship: 'Where are you going with all them mules?' "Taking them to Africa to the Boer war,' the roustabout said. "While I was standing there, a big, tough-looking white man walked up. "Boy,' he said, 'want a good job? Give you a job tendin' mules to Cape Town. Good wages, good grub, good time, see the country. worth a million dollars to you.' "Finally I let him talk me into going on the ship. When that New Orleans 'rotgut' died down I wished I was back on dry land again, yet I didn't care so very much—at first. When we got well out to sea—excuse my language—it was hell and halifax. "A tropical storm struck the ship, the mules bawled; it was hot as blazes, the ship smelled ten times worse than the biggest stockyards in the United States, and in addition, the mates were meaner than Old Scratch himself. Tough is no name for the whole trip. "I was up against it when the ship reached port and the mules were unloaded. No money would have hired me to go back to New Orleans on that ship. "So I followed the mules out to where the British army was camped, and got a job as mule skinner, hauling ammunition and supplies. I did not enlist as a regular—wished I had later on, as I might have received a pension eventually—but just worked by the day. I don't know how they managed it, but somebody paid me off quite often. "One day I was following the army, which was moving to some other camp, with a load of provisions, when a fight started out in front. A battalion, brigade or some kind of body of Boers had made a surprise attack on the cavalry column I was following. I stopped when the rifles and field artillery began to talk. I had not been there long when an officer I did not know rode up. "'Boy!' he yelled, 'Bring the mules out here.' "I unhitched the mules, got on one and followed a quarter of a mile to where there was a piece of field artillery standing in the road. The team pulling it had been killed or wounded. I was ordered to hitch to Watch Your Hair Grow Soft A it and hurry it to the rear. On ahead a short distance, the British were holding the Boers back, but I judged they didn't expect to do it very long. "I started back at a gallop, riding one of the mules and whipping them both, and after I had gone about a half-mile that 'ornery' team stopped suddenly to nibble at some green grass. I yelled and beat them, but they wouldn't budge. While they were calmly eating, the cavalry passed, retreating to the rear. "I had about concluded that I was a goner when suddenly there was a roar like a clap of thunder, and my off mule left my side without the slightest hesitation. He had been hit by a Boer cannon-ball. As the off mule went he jerked and tore the harness from the lead mule STOMACH UPSET?

Grow Soft Baffling Murders well-known in both Chicago and Detroit business circles, had left home the preceding evening in a car driven by the Carlisle chauffeur. He had apparently disappeared. When he did not return as usual, she had phoned in turn, his office, his club, then several of his friends. Beyond the club management's assertion that Carlisle had left there about ten o'clock, no one seemed to have seen him. Contact with Detroit by wire had netted her the same result. "My better judgment urged me to inform the police immediately," Mrs. Carlisle said, "but he always resents my intrusion into his affairs; yet when he did not return this morning, I was convinced that something was wrong." Mrs. Carlisle buried her face in her handkerchief again. The officer on duty regarded her appraisingly. "And the chauffeur?" he questioned, "did he return?" "Oh yes," she said hastily. "Bright has the car outside now." "Yes. sir!" "This lady's chauffeur—bring him in—a man named Bright." In due time, the chauffeur was escorted into the room—a tall young man, with a clean-cut, honest face. Hi, story added a bit of mystery to the case. He had driven Mr. Carlisle downtown and put him on the sidewalk in front of the old Transportation Building, where his employer's only unusual action was to say, "I'll drive back with friends. Bright," instead of the usual. "You needn't wait, Bright." For his employer's failure to return, he could offer no explanation whatsoever. After putting this into the records along with a minute description of the missing man, Mrs. Carlisle and her chauffeur were dismissed with a promise of quick action. Because he was known to have an uncanny way of getting quick results, Detective Hubert Holcomb was handed this case, though he arrived at headquarters nearly two hours after Mrs. Carlisle's departure. Chief of detectives Mason glanced at the report sheet on his desk and halted Holcomb as he was leaving the room. "Telephone reports from both city and Detroit hospitals say 'not here.'" he remarked. "Sounds like a funny case, Holcomb. Go to it!" "Yes, sir." As a first step, Holcomb drove the Department car across town toward the stately building that housed the Carlisle apartment. He liked to get at the bottom of things. He had learned not to accept surface indications at face value. In other words, he would not have been greatly surprised if Mrs. Carlisle herself turned out to be a heartless murderer; he would not have been surprised to find Mr. Carlisle's body dismembered and stuffed into a laundry basket. He would not have been surprised at anything - he thought! Yet, as Holcomb passed through the revolving door and approached the elevator operator, none of this Your crowning charm Belishes May, Leading Lady Hair that can be dressed in any style—silky, soft, smooth, brilliant — you can have it by using EXELENTO QUININE POMADE Belishes May, leading lady in Shufflin' Sam from Alabama' attributes her beautiful hair to the use of Exelento.

(Continued from Page Two) dress or deport themselves in keeping with their peculiar charms, never really examining themselves objectively and carefully, never attempting to improve what charms they possess, but vainly crying in anguish because no gay Lothario comes wooing. Whatever men said about Verna's beauty and about the magnetism of her personality and about the hypnotic compulsion of her wide, black eyes, she drank it in and locked it safely in the vaults of her memory, not to gather the dust of age and inaction, but to be used to her advantage, again and again. Her job as maid of all work for the Richland family helped in the development and education of Verna. The Richlands were the wealthiest people in Norrisburg and, indeed, in the whole county. Their stately 14-room house stood on a landscaped was reflected in his race. He was the congenial chap now, over-friendly at once, talkative—albeit shrewd beneath it all. "By the way," he said carelessly, as the lift moved upwards, "have you seen Mrs. Carlisle lately?" "No sir—that is," the operator added, "not since she went up about two hours ago." "And Mr. Carlisle—have you seen him?" The young man expertly brought the car to a stop at the fourth floor. the car to a stop at the fourth floor. "Haven't seen him for a week," he added, "but then, he uses the stairs most of the time." Holcomb chuckled lightly. "The lady prefers the lift, and the gentleman prefers the stairs, eh?" "Nine out of every ten times," the operator returned, and fell swiftly out of sight. Hubert Holcomb rang the doorbell of apartment sixteen, and studied the pattern in the carpet at his feet. He would have a little talk with Mrs. Carlisle. Already he was wondering what sort of a person she was—a good actor? — crafty? — or really harmless? Yet, even as these possibilities passed through Holcomb's mind, he became conscious of an awful silence; a different kind of a silence. No footfalls came from within; nor twist of the knob—just silence! It was suddenly as if some great tragedy lay behind that door; something that was already tugging at Holcomb's sense of adventure. He produced his pipe and stood there. By all reasonable deductions, Mrs. Carlisle should have been in her apartment; she should have, unless she used the stairs lately, responded to her doorbell And if she had used the stairs within the last two hours—why? Holcomb turned and descended the four flights of stairs to the recep- Continued on Page Six eminence across town from the noxious Billy Goat Lane. From the upper windows of their house, Verna could pause in her dusting and scrubbing to straighten up and look down and across town at the mean little settlement she called home. The comparison of the way she and her family lived and the way the Richlands lived made her thoughtful. Why should there be such a difference? None of her employers seemed to raise their hands to do a bit of work of my kind, and yet they had everything they desired. She slept between blankets while they slumbered mid perfumed linen. Her bedchamber, shared with her five brothers and sisters, was a junk shop of rags and trash of all kinds, while their boudoirs were emaculate, glistening, airy and tastefully decorated. "Miss Richland." she asked the oldest daughter one day, "do you think I'll ever be able to have pretty things like you all got here?" The young lady smiled indulgently and patted her maid on the shoulder. "Why, of course you can. Verna." she replied, "if you want to have the... You're so beautiful, Verna, that I should say you could have anything." "What do I have to do, Miss Richland?" "Develop yourself, child. Learn to dress, to make the very best of what you possess; and keep a cool head. Don't give in to the first man that comes along. Remember, Verna, you've got a long life ahead. You can always get a man, my child, but it is hard to get the right kind. Don't be satisfied with anything less than the best, and men will see that you get the best. Keep them all at arm's length, examine them all closely and then choose the one with the most money. Because you can't have fine clothes and pretty surroundings unless you have money and plenty of it." Verna thought about that a whole lot. It thrilled her to picture herself the mistress of a palatial home with servants at her beck and call and a closet full of shimmery. sparkling gowns and dainty little painted shoes.

It WAS queer! He sauntered along the avenue toward the next corner. rounded it, then quickened his pace. Half way toward the next corner was an alley. He gained it and disappeared. Presently he was at the rear of the building he had just left, where he took the fire escape to the fourth floor and entered the enclosed porch of apartment sixteen. He knocked loudly upon the door; he tried the knob—silence; silence tempered with the rawness of a cold January afternoon. Up to now. Holcomb's actions had been almost leisurely. but now he suddenly became as active as a cat, in spite of the huge overcoat that tended to hamper him. The one window now became a means to an end. His powerful arms tackled it and, with increased pressure, it slid up an inch two three. Finding himself in a small pantry, Holcomb stole cautiously into the kitchen, the dining room. Silence, deadly silence prevailed in these well-furnished rooms. Passing through a door into a long hall, he came upon three open doors grouped together in an alcove—two bed chambers, with a bath between them, the bedrooms, with the overturned chairs, the opened dresser drawers, the things strewn over the floors, giving the appearance of a recent typhoon! Holcomb clutched the automatic in his coat pocket, some instinct telling him that he was not alone At this point in Hubert Holcomb's narration of the Carlisle Murder case we, Miles and I, were, as you probably are, thoroughly in the spirit of the thing. Certainly Holcomb himself must have guessed this, because he paused, chuckled in his own queer way, then leisurely fired his pipe again. "I'm telling you, gentlemen," he reflected, "it was one raw case!" "But my Lord, man!" came through the semi-darkness from Miles, "don't stop there! What in the name of Hanna did you find? Did Mr. Carlisle get a bullet—or a knife?—or did you eventually find his body stuffed into a laundry basket?" Holcomb's pipe began to draw nicely again. "Neither," he drawled. "Briefly, it all simmered down to this: Continuing along the hall toward the front door, I entered the living room—which was also in an awful mess—and came upon one of the most gruesome sights in my career. The body was lying on the floor in a pool of blood, an ugly gash open at the temple, and a heavy metal book end—obviously the instrument of death—on the floor near by, bloody—" "Knocked out, eh?" Miles cut in. "Who got him?" Holcomb suddenly leaned far forward. "It was not Mr. Carlisle," he countered slowly. "It was the body of his wife—the woman who only a few hours before had been a visitor at headquarters!" Miles suddenly leaned forward; I gasped: Holcomb just sat there. It might have been his sense of the dramatic; or perhaps he was taking those few moments to recall more clearly the events which followed that surprising discovery—anywav. it was several minutes before Hubert Holcomb continued to unravel the mystery of The Carlisle Murder Case.

With every spare penny he bought little presents for Verna and begged for permission to take her places, such as there were in Norrisburg. Verna accepted them as a matter of course, but gave Dick no encouragement to go farther. "Verna," said Mrs. Nash one evening when her daughter came home from the big house on the hill, "it's 'bout time you wuz thinkin' 'bout gitin' hitched up. ain't it? Can't git nowhere in this 'ere world without a man, you know." Verna's lip curled and she smiled compassionately. Her mother had been married sixteen years and had lived the entire time in Billy Goat Lane, and yet she had the effrontery to tell Verna that it was impossible to get anywhere without a man. It was amusing, to say the least. Discouraged by Mother "Whatcha laughin' at?" her mother snapped. "Taint nuthin' funny—this is business.

Now you can laugh at the people who pay hundreds of dollars to lose a few pounds of fat—now you will know the pleasant way to lose unsightly fat and you'll also know that the 6 vitalizing salts of Kruschen (Saltr that your blood, server and glands must have to function properly)—have presented you with glorious health. After that you'll want to walk around and say to your friends,—"One 85 cent bottle of Kruschen Salts is worth one hundred dollars of any fat person's money." Leading druggiste America over sell Kruchen Salts "They can have him if they want him; I don't. I ain't seen nobody in Norrisburg that can give me the things I want." "Yore jest a little fool, that's what you is. 'Round here tryin' to put on airs an' th' rags mighty nigh whippin' you to death." "That's all right, I ain't gonna be wearin' 'em much longer. I'm gonna be somebody, I am." "You can't gonna be a blessed thing!" her mother exploded. "This whole family ain't nuthin', these colored folks around heah ain't nuthin' and you ain't gonna be nuthin'. What you need is some sense." The two women, mother and daughter, glared balefully at each other across the little dingy, odoriferous kitchen, while old man Nash, sitting by the stove with an old, tattered travel magazine open on his knees, devoured the printed page. He was paying no attention to the argument. He had heard it before. He sympathized with his daughter. Like Verna, he had wanted to be something, but he just hadn't had the energy and now he felt that it was to late. There was a sharp tap on the door and Dick Colvin entered. A striking youth if there ever was one. Nearly six feet tall, smooth black, strong, wistful and always seemingly ill at ease. Tonight he was dressed in what he called his Sunday clothes, a shiny blue serge suit, an ancient fedora, tan shoes and a perfectly impossible shirt with a garish necktie to match. With all of his solemnity and rather pained dignity, he resembled tonight a cross between a cartoon and a low comedian. "Hello!" he greeted them, with a poor attempt at breeziness. "How is you all tonight?" "Kinda Proctomedium." said old man Nash, using one of the numerous words of his own invention. "So-So," replied old lady Nash, smiling and at the same time cutting a reproving and urgent glance at Verna. "All right." said Verna indifferently. "I'll be ready in a minute." Dick Presses His Suit Dick seated himself uncomfortably on the edge of the only other chair in the room and waited. He looked around approvingly. As he had never seen anything better, the Nash kitchen with its dirty dishes. flies and boiling clothes looked homey to him. He thought of himself sitting by the stove like Mr. Nash while Verna prepared his evening meal, and he heaved a heavy sigh that made the imitation diamond stickpin he had bought of a traveling peddler, sparkle and flash. "Let's go." Verna commanded, coming from her room arrayed in her best, which was far from being good enough to clothe her queenliness. "It's gettin' late." Dick rose obediently and they went out. Mr. and Mrs. Nash gazing after them approvingly. At the moving picture show Dick Colvin decided to press his suit with Verna. He couldn't, he felt, go on this way any longer. The girl's indifference was making him insane. He was helpless in her hands and she gave not the slightest hint of encouragement. She wouldn't let him touch her, caress her or kiss her. It was awful. The picture reeled off and Verna luxuriated in thoughts of herself living in such surroundings as were depicted, and wearing gowns such as those that adorned the svelte forms of the pampered beauties of the cinema. There was the life she wanted. She paid no attention to attempts of Dick to be affectionate. On the long walk home. Dick steeled himself for the final ordeal. He could, he felt, no longer look at this glorious creature without calling her his own. Verna felt something of his intensity, silent but apparent. "Verna, I want you to marry me!" he almost shouted, as the new moon glided from behind a white tuft of cloud. "I love you so, Verna. I dunno how I kin live without you, gal. Won't you marry me?" "What for?" she asked, coldly, haughtily. "What for?" he echoed. "Why— why, what do you mean?" "Jest what I said. What I wanna marry you for, Dick Colvin? What kin you give me?" "I kin give yuh a home." "In Billy Goat Lane, I suppose," she replied sarcastically. "Well, that's where yore livin' now, ain't it?" "That's just it, Dick Colvin. I ain't gonna go on livin' in Billy Goat Lane. It satisfies you but it don't satisfy me. And you caint give me nothin' better." "Maybe I kin, some day," he protested feebly, crushed by her hardness. "Yes, maybe you kin, SOME day, but don't nobody know when that day'll be, an' if I gotta stay in Billy CLASSIFIED ADS HELP WANTED-MALE DETECTIVES—Travel, make secret investigations.

She tossed her head decisively and contemplated her victory sadistically out of the corner of her eye." "Then you don't love me, does you?" he asked bitterly, his fists clenched. "I can't be bothered with it, Dick. No now. I gotta do things an' amount to somethin' first, 'fore I start gitting messed up with any love. I sure likes you, Dick, but it ain't love." She smiled up at him provocatively, challengingly. He looked at her blankly, almost uncomprehendingly as a shipwrecked sailor sees the distant sail passing his little surf-beaten island. Then all of the reservoir of wounded pride, suppressed desire and subdued lust surged up and overflowed. His eyes blazed and he advanced toward her. She quailed and would have turned to flee but his steely fingers encircled her wrist. With a quick, impulsive movement he pulled the slender creature toward him, pressed her full bosom to his breast and pressed his lips to hers in a protracted kiss. She fought and kicked to no avail. Then out of the darkness hurtled an athletic figure, a fist swung against Dick's jaw and he slumped to the ground with dull thud and lay quiet.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was all rundown, nervous, could not sleep good and had to spend two days in bed every month. A friend of mine told me about the Vegetable Compound and I also saw it advertised in the Afro-American. I don't know where I would have been today if I hadn't taken it.
