VOLUME III No.31 193 GARY AMERICAN TO MOVE TODAY IN $25000 HOME Newspaper to be Published While Work Still Goes On New Plant Telephone No. Changed to Gary 6134; Look For Completion in Aug. While the process of completing various other departments are still going on, The Gary American will move today from its old home at Seven East 19th avenue to its new $25,000 office and plant at 1819 Washington street. The new telephone of The American will be Gary 6134. Marks Another Milestone The removal of the newspaper from its seat of operation during the past two years to its new building between 18th and 19th street on Washington street marks another milestone in the progress of this distinguished newspaper. Decision to move before its new home is fully completed was made last week in order to make things more convenient for the staff and also to avoid the necessity of maintaining expense at two places. The full completion of the new office and plant will probably be made sometime in July or August, it was estimated today. More than a dozen or more important details will have to be completed before the new building, office and plant will be finished and ready for its formal opening. But it is planned to carry on the publication of the newspaper without interruption while engineers, carpenters, electricians, and others are working to complete the task. A full description of the new home will be made through the columns of The American when it is completed, and at that time, a formal opening will be held with the entire public invited as guests of the newspaper. Meanwhile, those who have business to transact with the newspaper should keep in mind its new address, 1817 Washington street, as well as the new telephone number, Gary 6134. NEGRO VOTE AIDS SIMMONS' DEFEAT NEW YORK—Many colored people joined the democratic party and voted in the recent primary election helping to defeat Senator Simmons in North Carolina, according to information which has just reached the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The report to the N. A. A. C. P. says in part: "The Negroes figured wonderfully in the campaign which closed last night. I don't think their votes, which are not many, counted so much, but those who did vote and who were challenged did not back down, but met the challenge. There was no unpleasantness and we here in Greensboro had no trouble. You would have been amused at how many Negroes changed their party affiliation to that of the Democratic party and with how little difficulty . . . Needless to say that we did not have much of a choice; but we did vote against Simmons and he seems to have been overwhelmingly beaten." Senator Simmons was one of the chief supporters of the nomination to the Supreme Court of Judge John J. Parker whose confirmation was defeated by a 41 to 39 vote of the Senate.

NAB TWO WHEN GIRLS COMPLAIN Gary Youths Face Charges Of Criminal Attack; Trial Is Set On the complaint of the parents of the respective girls, two men were arrested Monday and charged with contributing to their delinquency. The men involved are Edgar Water, alias "Snuffy", 1600 Jefferson street, and Charles Brown, 1601 Jefferson street. They were arrested by Detective Arthur Saulter and his vice squad. Waters is alleged to have lured Thelma McCrader, 7 years old, to his home and seduced her. Brown who is only 18 years old, is accused of having enticed Willie May, 13, 1606 Jefferson street, to a flat at 1532 Jefferson street, and there committed a criminal attack on her. Both men were booked for trial in Justice of Peace court. AMOS'N ANDY CHARGED APING MILLER-LYLES NEW YORK-Credit for some of the mirth-provoking remarks of the popular Amos'n Andy should go to Miller and Lyles, the colored comedians of "Shuffle Along" and other Broadway successes. This statement was made in an article in the Daily Mirror signed by Mark Hellinger and summarized by the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Hellinger states his belief that Amos 'n Andy "are cashing in very heavily on something that the Messrs. Miller and Lyles originated many years ago. It is surprising to me that Miller and Lyles haven't registered a squawk long before this." Of the remarks made for years by the colored men and now used by the white blackface pair, Mr. Hellinger says they are "so imilar in fact, that the resemblance is almost uncanny. If Miller and Lyles were substituted for Amos 'n Andy some night, I would defy anyone to detect the difference." 55 Gary Youths Get Their Diplomas From Froebel Noonday Club Fetes Member On Eve Of Departure Speaking to the Gary Noonday Business club, at a special program arranged in honor of his recent appointment as assistant solicitor-general in the postmaster general's office, Judge William C. Hueston related, some of the duties attached to the office, assured his many friends of the sincere application to duty he will exercise in his new position, and lastly, the regret he experienced in transferring his business to Washington. Miss Thyra C. Edwards, agent for the Board of Children's Guardians, introduced the guest of honor. In the course of her remarks, she related the activities and the many accomplishments of Judge Hueston, since his coming to Gary. Judge Hueston stated that the first duties of the assistant solicitor general, was "to defend the post office department in all legal matters, but in this particular appointment the duties will be more or less judicial. I shall have to receive and judge complaints by the Negro employees of the department," stated the judge. He also stated that he would use his every effort to protect rights of 92,000 colored employees of the department, saying that "if any are discharged wrongly, they can appeal to me for justice, and will get it." Judge William Dunn, in speaking of his relationship with the appointee, said "Bill Hueston is the fairest and squarest man I know, regardless of color. I am happy to congratulate him on his appointment, but regret to have him leave our midst." Dr. Wood, president of the club, praised Judge Hueston for his work in Gary, as a politician, judge and civic leader. Others equally loud in praise of Judge Hueston, and regretting his temporary leave from the city, were: Mrs. W. W. Cooke, Mrs. Lena Harris, Mrs. Woodfolk and Miss Elizabeth Edwards. Judge Hueston is gradually closing up his business affairs, and with his family, will move to Washington and assume his new duties on July 1, but will continue to maintain his residence in Gary.

Persons having business to transact with the newspaper may do so after Saturday at the above address. The telephone number will be changed from Gary 2-4660 to Prof. H. A. Hunt Given Award for "Modest Faithful Service." NEW YORK—The 16th Spingarm medal, awarded annually to a United States citizen of African descent for most distinguished achievement in some honorable field of human endeavor goes this year to Henry A. Hunt, of Fort Valley, Ga., "for twenty-five years of modest faithful, unselfish and devoted service in the education of Negroes of rural Georgia, and to the teaching profession in that state. In the face of great difficulties he has built up an excellent school and has at all times advanced the cause of his race with tact, skill and integrity." The medal will be presented to Mr. Hunt at the 21st annual conference in Springfield, Massachusetts of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People June 25 through July 1. The presentation will be made on the closing night of the conference, July 1 by William Allan Neilson, president of Smith College. Henry A. Hunt was born in Sparta, Georgia. He is a graduate of Atlanta University. For several years he taught at Biddle University, now known as Johnson C Smith University. From there, twenty-five years ago, he went to Fort Valley in middle Georgia and took charge of the Fort Valley High School. His efforts have been directed mainly to the encouragement of rural education among Negroes of Georgia. Committee Appointed To Study Ballot Frauds in South NEW YORK—Suggestion that the United States senate through a committee recently authorized may go into the entire question of the vote in the South and the disfranchisement of colored people, is contained in a lengthy dispatch to the New York Herald-Tribune last Sunday by its Washington correspondent, Mark Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan reports that the political situation has been focussed by two recent events, one of them the defeat of the efforts to confirm Judge Parker as Supreme court justice. In his dispatch to the Herald-Tribune of last Sunday, Mr. Sullivan says in part: "There are two events that, combined, cast a political shadow though what the shadow protends does not seem to recognized by many whom it will most concern. One event is the defeat of the confirmation of Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina, to the Supreme Court, which defeat was accomplished more than by any other one agency by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." Later in his dispatch, Mr. Sullivan writes: "That the National Association will focus its energies on conditions affecting Negro participation in Democratic primaries in southern states can be taken for granted." Mr. Sullivan characterizes the sup- (Continued on Page Two) FROEBEL 'HI' GRADUATES 55 NEGRO PUPILS Supt. Wirt Awards 150 Diplomas to Class of 1930 One of the largest classes of Negro students to graduate from the public school system in Gary, received their diplomas at Froebel high school Wednesday, when Superintendent of Education W. A. Wirt delivered laudatory remarks to a class of 150 students, among whom there were 55 Negro boys and girls. Prof. Charles S. Coons, principal of the school, presented the class to Supt. Wirt, after a very interesting program, who then awarded the diplomas. Major Norman A. Irmie of the Culver Military Academy made the commencement address, stressing it on the minds of the students that their fight in life was just beginning. Among other things, he said, "students should realize that the hardest work is ahead of them, with this commencement. The greatest factor towards success in life is loyalty; first, select your purpose in life, and then be loyal to that purpose." Selections were rendered by the Froebel orchestra and the Froebel double quartette. The board of education was represented by Peter W. Seyl, president; Mrs. Adele M. Chase, secretary; and Leslie I. Combs, treasurer.

JUDGE BURRUS TAKES JUSTICE OF PEACE OATH To Fill Chair Left By Resignation Of Hueston Amid the many felicitations of his host of friends, William E. Burrus, former council member and for many years a prominent figure in the political and civic affairs of Lake County, took the oath of office as Justice of Peace of Lake County on last Wednesday. Judge Burrus was appointed by the Lake county commissioners on Monday to the position made vacant by the resignation of Judge Hueston, who was appointed as assistant solicitor-general in the post office department in Washington, D. C. The certificate of appointment was received from the office of the governor on Wednesday morning, after which Judge Burrus was sworn into office. The elevation to the justice of peace office marks another step in the exemplified life of William E Burrus since coming to Gary more than 20 years ago.

SUMMER SCHOOL AT HOWARD U. OPENS WASHINGTON, D. C. The summer session at Howard university began Monday and will continue through August 13, during which time the same quality of work is required, and equal credits are given toward degrees as in other quarters of the university year. All of the facilities of the university for study health, and recreation are placed at the disposal of summer session students. One hundred and three courses are offered in the following departments: art, botany, chemistry, commerce and finance, economics, education, English, German, history, mathematics, music, physical education, physics, political science, psychology, Romance languages and sociology.

Assault and Battery Leads Number of Negro Crimes Numbered among the 527 persons arrested in the city of Gary last month for various infractions of the law, there were 193 Negroes, acc ording to the report issued today by W. A. Forbis, head of the bureau of identification and statistics Assault and battery cases contributed to the greater number of arrests during the month. In proportion following, drunkenness, gambling, prostitution and liquor violation made up the basis of the crime report. These five classifications were responsible for 85 per cent of the total arrests for the month. Outstanding in the report was the insignificant standing of two classes, generally considered as sources of "Negro crime news", larceny and murder. There were no larceny cases listed for the month; and only one murder case. In recent reports, when the police officials have been prone to discuss at length on the decrease of gambling, attributing it to the general business depression, they had no comment to offer on the decrease in larceny. In comparing the number of arrests, according to the ages of the persons, there were more arrests of persons between the ages of 30 and 40, than in any of the other classes. There were 58 arrests of persons between those ages. There was a decrease in arrests of persons between 16 and 25; only 43 this month, as compared to 67 last month. According to Mr. Forbis' report, a total of 3073 meals were served at the city jail for the month. NEW YORK-How a mob in Chickasha, Oklahoma, lynched a small Negro who was known to be insane, burned an army truck and threatened to run all peaceable, law-abiding Negroes out of town, is reported to Robert W. Bagnall, director of branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Bagnall not only got all availabe facts concerning the lynching for the N. A. A. C. P, but held a public meeting in the town, denounced the lynching from the platform and urged punishment of the mobbists, receiving the endorsement of Mayor Jess Larson, who publicly stated that were he confronted ever again with such another situation he would fire into the mob and shoot to kill. The facts as obtained by Mr. Bagnall and sent to the N. A. A. C. P. National office are as follows: Chickasha is a town of 24,000 population with about 2,000 Negroes On May 28, a Negro boy named Henry Argo went fishing near a shack inhabited by the poorest sort of whites. The dog of a family named Skinner attacked the boy and he beat the dog off. The woman of the family took Argo to task for hitting the dog and threatened him with a hoe, whereupon the Negro lad cursed her and said he would do the same thing to her that he had done to the dog. Two days later the boy again went fishing. That afternoon the Skinner woman told her husband that Argo had attacked her and choked her baby. The baby showed no marks or sign of having been harmed. The Negro boy was picked up by an under-sheriff and lodged in the county jail. The woman came to town and identi- HOLO PASTOR, WITH TWO, IN SLAYING CASE Charge Minister and Two Accomplices Slew Auditor INDIANAPOLIS, IND.—With the rest of Rev. B. J. F. Westbrooks, pastor of the Second Baptist church this city, George Washington, alged gunman, also of this city, and M. Townsend of Nashville, Tensee, all of whom are being held the authorities of Scottsburg, Indiana, police officials believe they have solved the mysterious slaying two months ago of E. D. Pierson, of Chicago, who was auditor of the national Baptist convention. Pierson's bullet riddled body was found on April 18th on the banks of the Muscatatuck river near pottsburg. He was returning from trip to Nashville, where he had discovered a shortage of $62,000 in the books of Townsend, who is secretary of the Baptist Sunday School publishing board. Authorities charge that Washington was hired to kill Pierson to prevent him from reporting the shortage of the funds. Although the Rev. Mr. Westbrook denied all implication in the case, Washington is alleged to have made confession that he was hired by owensend to kill Pierson, and that asmuch that he did not know Pierson, the Rev. Mr. Westbrooksurnished him with a letter of introduction, knowing at the time the purpose of his mission. Townsend has been released by he Nashville authorities on a $10, 500 bond.

C.-The United States Circuit Court of Appeals today ruled that the Democratic party in Virginia could not debar Negroes from participating in primary elections. This decision marks an important victory in the long and successful campaign of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against attempts at disfranchisement of Negro voters in southern states. Today's decision of the Appeals Court affirms decision by Judge D. Lawrence Groner of the Federal District Court, at Richmond in the case of aJmes O. West vs. A. C. Bliley, William Boltz and William Richer, the three defendants being Democratic Judges in the precinct in Richmond in which Mr. West lives. Three Judges denied to Mr. West the right to participate in the Democratic Primary of April 3, 1928, refusing on the basis of the ruling by the Democratic party limiting participation in its primary elections to whites. Today's opinion was written by Judge Elliott Northcutt of West Virginia, and William C. Coleman of Baltimore. The decision says in part: "If all the political parties in the state of Virginia incorporated the same qualifications in their rules and regulations as did the Democratic party, nobody could participate in the primary except white persons and other persons would be deprived of a material right guaranteed them under the Constitution as amended: That is, the right to participate in the selection of candidates to be voted for in the election." It will be remembered that the disfranchisement method thus outlawed by today's decision follows successful efforts of the N. A. A. C. P. against state laws barring Negroes from participation in Democratic primaries. In the case of Nixon vs. Herndon, carried to the United States Supreme Court by the N. A. A. C. P., that court, in 1927, ruled such laws unconstitutional. Following the decision various states attempted to achieve the same ends by giving to individual political parties the right to set up their own qualifications.

An illuminating map, the first of its sort ever printed, vividly displays those states having legal restrictions on the colored race. Ten states exert denial of the right to vote; to marry with whites, and enforce segregation in schools and on public conveyances. Five others carry the same restrictions except the right to vote. Two others forbid intermarriage and school segregation is enforced. Thirteen others forbid intermarriage The 60-page pamphlet states that repressive measures against the agitation of unpopular causes have been increased by new laws and court decisions; that the extensive machinery of repression created since the war has been used chiefly in strikes and against radical propaganda in industrial centers; that violations of Negro rights continue unabated; and that religious and racial intolerance is firmly entrenched. Lork's Public opinion, however, is on the whole more alert to defend civil liberties and oppose repression, according to the report, while more newspapers speak out against repressive tactics; the Civil Liberties Union gets increased support for Cleaned The cleaning of our coal beg over and cleared of all slate, in the mines.

Zion church, 551 iFelds Avenue Thursday evening, June 26th. Mrs. E. O. Ford will be mistress of ceremonies. One feature of the concert will be a rendition of the latest song hit, written by Mr. Ford entitled: "Made up My Mind." The following is the program: Song "Build on that Show" St. John News New Linco (By Jack Davis) Due to the wonderful showmanship of Kid Brown, in his role as Master of Ceremonies, the popularity of the New Lincoln Gardens is increasing, each night one can observe some of the best people of Gary and visitors from Chicago in the audience. The Keed is without a doubt, one of the race's foremost yodeling artists and show producer, and he is growing more popular each night. Another reason for the success of the Gardens is due to Artie Wall's orchestra. Kid Brown searched Chicago for this bunch of melody makers, and finally succeeded in bringing them to Gary. This week's floor show is brilliantly arranged and the girls are wearing gorgeous costumes, this off set by an elaborate setting, these little Eves of the chorus certainly put over their stuff in a big way.

But the surprise of the evening was when Bob Howe, dropped in rather impromptu from an engagement in South Bend and caused a sensation when he did his whistling act, and sang a few numbers. Kid Brown and Rudolf Jonson formed the Nutty Club, but as yet there has been no election of officers, the following patrons of the Gardens are members of the newly organized club: Billie Brown, Arthur Wiley, Clarence Tolbert, Rudolph Jonson, Mary Nixon, Bobbie Frenchetty, Emma Metcalfe, Genoria Dixon, myself, and Kid Brown's troupe. The club is formed as a sort of get together club and to promote friendship and good will among the patrons of the Gardens. A BODY BUILDER Most of our ills and primary causes of disease are due to faulty elimination. No disease can be cured unless the bowels move regularly. If the bowels do not move properly toxic poisons accumulate through the bowels into the blood. Therefore it is important in treating chronic or lingering disease that the bowels move regularly. DR. MICHAEL'S ALL-HERB TONIC acts as a mild soothing TONIC laxative. It thoroughly cleans every fold, tube and gland, of the entire alimentary canal, it flushes out cleans and strengthens the kidneys, carefully removes the superflous bile from the liver. Therefore it is very essential to rid the body toxins which eliminate through the pores of the body, the urine and bowels, then natures machinery is ready to do her work in a natural way, putting forth rich, red healthy blood flowing throughout the entire system, and health is restored. DR. MICHAEL'S ALL-HERB TONIC imparts making and building qualities to the blood.

A LOGICAL PROGRAM FOR ACCIDENT PREVENTION "I think that more can be accomplished for the protection of the public from reckless motorists by the enactment of so-called financial responsibility laws supplemented by adequate registration, license and safety laws, than through any form of compulsory automobile liability insurance," says F. Robertson Jones, general manager of the Association of Casualty and Surety Executives. "The greatest need today is accident prevention, not accident indemnity. The safety-financial responsibility measures meet this need better than any plan that has been devised. Compulsory insurance measures, by subordinating safety to indemnity, have a directly opposite tendency, as demonstrated by the Massachusetts experiment. The records of the past would seem to bear out Mr. Jones' remarks. Safety responsibility laws, varying only in detail, have been enacted in California, New York and a few other states and have apparently been very successful. On the other hand, no matter what one may think about the unconditional compulsory insurance law of Massachusetts, it has not decreased accidents and has resulted in congested courts, "faked" claims, the withdrawal of at least one company from doing business in that state, and a chaotic political argument over rates. Of equal importance are the registration and licensing laws mentioned by Mr. Jones. Only 17 states require examination of drivers. In the other 31, thousands of reckless and incompetent drivers are allowed to use the public highways where they menace the lives and property of every other motorist.

PARKER VICTORY AIDS N. A. A. C. P. NEW YORK—The defeat of the nomination of Judge John J. Parker to the Supreme court, is playing a great part in bringing members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, according to J. H. Bluford, secretary of the Kansas City, Mo., branch, which is one of the first branches to have raised its entire apportionment this year. "This has meant much to the association in this section," says Mr. Bluford writing of the Parker victory. "We raised our apportionment with greater ease this year than ever before due largeiy to the publicity given the N. A. A. C. P. in the Parker case."

That night the mob gathered at the jail being defended by an inexperienced "home guard" which used only blank cartridges. The mob in its attacks on the jail set fire to oil soaked mattresses and threw them in the windows. During the early part of the mob attacks the sheriff was absent. While the sheriff, who arrived at length, was holding off the mob in front of the building, one mobbist climbed above the cell and fired info P.F.K.Co. 120 W 13th Ave. The only store in Gary that carries a full line of Poultry.

It was then that Skinner, husband of the woman who had alleged the attack, suddenly plunged a long knife into Argo's body above the heart. The Negro lad was then wrapped in a sheet as if dead and carried in an ambulance to Oklahoma City where he died within an hour. Although warned not to come to the city, Mr. Bagnall arrived two days after the lynching, and was called upon fifteen minutes after his arrival by Mayor Larson. The Mayor expressed himself as deeply outraged by the lynching. Mr. Bagnall held two public meetings in Chickasha, one of them with nearly six hundred people present, at which he urged the culpable officers be put out of office and the guilty lynchers punished. The Mayor, who followed Mr. Bagnall on the platform, said he agreed with what Mr. Bagnall said and urged his listeners to help themselves and to help race relations by joining the N. A. A. C. P. of which he himself was a member. "It is not good politics," Mr. Bagnall reports the Mayor as saying, "to come here at this time, but I don't want to play politics. I want to let you know how I stand in this whole matter no matter how it may affect my political fortunes." Nearly a hundred persons joined the N. A. A. C. P. at the meeting. N. A. A. C. P.

THIS is a tale of dreams that came true. Dreams of fortune and fame that a young colored boy visioned while toiling fourteen hours a day under a blazing sun on a New Mexico ranch. The New Mexico sun is more conducive to dreams than work, but young Raymond Turner had many tasks to perform. As he plodded his weary way about the sun-scorched ranch under the relentless rays of Old Sol he dreamed and planned. At the little theatre in Rosswell he had seen a few moving pictures. On the rare occasions when he was able to scrape together a few pennies to procure a ticket to this shabby little house of enchantment he would come early and stand outside waiting for the box office to open—and when the last show was over and the lights put out for the night, a bright-eyed lad would reluctantly leave the theatre. Young Turner KNEW he could act! His friends were equally positive that he couldn't. He made the mistake of telling his friends of his hopes and aspirations. Many men with the spark of genius that might have won them fame have been laughed into an embarrassed oblivion by "friends" who could not understand. Not so with Raymond. Their jibes and laughs only served to spur him on with the firm determination to prove to them that they were wrong. "RAY" ACTING FOR THE CAMERAS. Already talented, it was an easy matter for Ray to develop into a versatile actor; consequently he has been cast in several different types of parts. His biggest difficulty was in landing an opportunity. He gathered his few belongings, and taking an old tin can from its hid- (Continued on night at top of this page) --- True Stories Achievement Stories W. B. Ziff Co., 608 S.

Finally, he got a "break," and then, even Al Jolson, who seldom shares the spotlight with anyone, recognized the young colored actor by giving him an important part in "Big Boy." "Ray" proved a "WOW." Success at last! Then the film magnates began bidding for his talent. Read this throbbing story below! ing place dumped the contents of this improvised savings bank on the table. The little pile of nickles, dimes, quarters and few half dollars represented the savings of a long period of self denial. Pocketing the few dollars of change he faced the West and started his toil-worn young body toward the city where his heart already was—Hollywood. Several weeks later a tired, dusty, hungry boy tramped from studio to studio in search of work. No one seemed to have even a day's work as an extra for him. The massive studio gates and the uniformed gatemen seemed always between him and his objective. He was nearly famished, but the indomitable spirit that carried him from New Mexico to Hollywood, under the most trying conditions, kept him plodding on. Dame Fortune Smiles Then Dame Fortune smiled on him. One day as he was waiting near a studio gate half supporting his tired, starved body by grasping the iron rail outside the watchman's little office, Opportunity knocked. Al Rockett, the producer of "Abraham Lincoln," came hastily out of the gate and asked the gateman to call an employment agency for him. As he waited he noticed Raymond sagging slightly against the rail. Young Turner became suddenly aware of his gaze and attempted to stand erect. Rockett smiled at him and Turner swayed a bit, then pulled himself together and smiled—the sort of smile a courageous man smiles when he is losing a hopeless fight. Rockett, with the deep sense of understanding that had placed him high in the field of directors and producers, understood, partly at least. He asked the gateman to cancel the call; turned to Raymond and said, "Come inside, Son. I want to talk to you." Lands Chauffeuring Job In Rockett's office on the big studio lot a young colored lad was telling an amazing story of hardships and perseverance. Under the skillful guidance of the producer, the conversation drifted into channels that led to this unburdening of confidence. At the end of the narrative the man whose fame was won by an understanding heart, softly said: "I had it sized up about that way. That's why I asked you to come in. I've just lost my chauffeur. He had a chance to take a small part with another company on the lot and I let him take it. It seems to be just my luck to get good men who want to act and then lose them the first time a camera starts grinding. Can you drive?" Ray answered in the affirmative. "Well," said Rockett, "you have a job. We'll find out about your acting ability later. What you need now is a 'flock of hot groceries.'" His First Picture The deal was made. Tho' he was not yet an actor, he at least had access to the studio. As he told me later: "It seemed wonderful to see the gates that had so long been barred against me quickly open when I drove up in Mr. Rockett's big limousine." Raymond Turner was not destined to be a chauffeur for long. When the picture, "Hills of Mising Men," was made, Al Rockett let Director J. P. McGowan have Ray for the comedy part of the cook.

HOW THE AUSTRALIAN NATIVE IS BECOMING MODERNIZED 2 Despite his scanty wardrobe, the Australian native and his lubra (wife) have adopted many modern fashions and whims while on the other hand, many of our present styles were used by them centuries past. Shingling, and the buster cut have been in vogue among the Australian natives for ages, for, to them, hair as an adornment has no charm. It has purposes of utility. The belt which the women of the northwest wear, is made entirely from human nair, while string, used for carrying articles, is also made from hair. Jazz, a product of modern civilization, is akin to the music produced by natives, for rhythm is the main essential. A native would be little disturbed by hearing the effect produced from a saxophone, for it is allied with their own "harmonious" renderings. The dark-skinned native wriggles his feet in time to music, just as his western brother does to a jazz band, while the native who beats a hollow log derives as much pleasure as the modern trap drummer. It is novel to see natives who have had practically no contact with civilization, beating to the latest New York hit on the phonograph, and when their first fears have been allayed, they tap with their feet as the record grinds out, "When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along."

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 21.1930 FORTUNE TELLER TO THE "400" FORTUNE TELLER TO THE "400" By PERCY B. PRIOR aboriginals, for, like the sounds produced from tribal sources, they imagined that the violin strings were some human agency, and that the soul of an unfortunate was crying out in anguish. So it was with the recorded voice upon the phonograph. At the first sound of Galli Curci, they stood up in alarm, and would have dived overboard if the machine had not stopped. They were plainly under the impression that a woman was secreted in the little box, and looked everywhere for the owner of the vocal effect. They could not understand that it was the record and sound box that produced the sound. Other artists met with similar fates, and even the high register of Caruso railed to please them. But their fears were dispelled when the Broadway Blues thundered from the phonograph, and they beamed with pleasure at the rhythm of "Red Hot Mamma." They made a strange scene, the primitive men and women, with their shingled bobs and "bustered hair," listening with joy to the latest jazz numbers, and tapping as though they were dancing the steps of the fox trot, or the well-known black bottom. Their own vocal efforts would do injustice to a howling dog, for they start at a high pitch, and end only when the "vocalist" has run out of creath. They keep time by tapping two boomerangs together, while the men occasionally burst in and give the soloist a little support, by chanting a few bars. Aboriginal music, although not pleasant to western ears, is very colorful, being descriptive of the hunting of kangaroos, the beauty of the setting sun, or the prowess of some dead chief. It is chiefly a succession By R. J. HUBBARD Mrs. Cora Horton, of Little Rock, Arkansas, is widely known in this section of the country as a fortune teller to the most refined class of people; but when approached on the matter and asked to tell something of her methods, she says: "I am not a fortune teller. I do A not advertise my profession and do not make any charge. Mine is a gift from God." This woman has a modern home, beautifully furnished and lives in a fashionable neighborhood surrounded with all the comforts necessary which have come to her as gifts from friends. of chromatics, and the verses are but repetition. Wild natives who have had no previous association with civilized men will often mimic their actions. The fingering of a moustache will be copied by the aboriginal, while even a cough will be imitated. He smiles when you smile, and frowns when you frown. When given a large piece of brightly-colored cloth, the women will immediately tear it into dozens of small pieces, and reappear with their hair adorned with it, just as a western woman will bargain for a new hat. They are very susceptible to color, and invariably quarrel over trifles such as stray pieces of cloth. If one woman is given a comb, and told how to use it, some weeks later her hair, although short, would put a beauty specialist to shame because of its improved appearance. She had undoubtedly combed her hair every available minute since receiving the comb. The quarrels among the men and women over the distribution of presents often ends disastrously, for one man along the northwest coast had both arms fractured, the result of a combat over the distribution of tobacco. One man had a frightful fracture of the right arm, which had unitedbadly, the arm being grotesquely twisted. It was another case of "cherchez la femme," and was caused by the attack of an irate husband. It would take great pluck on the part of our womenfolk to adorn their bodies with the great cicatrices, or raised weals, which cover their brownskinned sisters' bodies, in Australia. Despite the fact that they live a life where club rule is the dominant factor, the natives seem to derive more pleasure from their type of existence than the 1929 sophisticate derives from the ultra-modern age. Before she would consent to answer any questions about her business, she forced the interviewer to write the questions which she read. Then she said: "God sent you here, therefore, I will tell you the things you want to know. I am a mental healer and I practice mind therapeutics.

VIEIRNA the IRRESISTIBLE The Story of a Girl with a Strange, Brown, and Compelling Beauty by WALTER GLASTON Brilliant Negro Fiction Writer Verna Nash. is a remarkably beautiful dark-brown girl, the energetic, ambitious and intelligent member of an otherwise worthless and indigent family that lives in the worst shack in Billy Goat Lane in Norrisburg. She, of all the six Nash children is the only one that amounts to anything and wants to be somebcdy. Working as a maid for a rich white family, she sees around her all of the good things of life and resolves to have them for herself some day. Coming to realize the power of her irresistible sex magnetism, she feels sure of her ability to rise above her lowly station. Her mother wants her to marry Dick Colvin, an ungainly, uncultured laborer. She refuses him on several occasions. Dick takes Verna to the movies one evening and on the way home proposes to her again. She refuses him and, enraged, he forces her to kiss him. As she screams in his embrace, a man leaps from the darkness and knocks Dick out. Now Go On With the Story When Verna looked into the intruder's face, her first thought was "How handsome he is." He was tall, brown, immaculately dressed, unruffled, suave—apparently a gentleman. It thrilled Verna, who had never known the glamour of chivalry and romance, to have a young knight bound out of the darkness to her rescue. "Pardon me, young lady," he addressed her in resonant voice, rubbing his bruised knuckles. "I hope I didn't do anything you didn't want done. I just saw that fellow annoying you and I was fresh enough to interfere." "Oh, thanks so much," the girl murmured softly, glancing at the fellow from under her long, silken lashes. "It's all right." With a groan, Dick Colvin sat up and rubbed his jaw and the back of his head, and then slowly rose. He looked around bewildered at first, and then noticing the stranger for the first time, he lurched toward him. "I'll get you, you . . ." he growled, swinging a mighty blow at the dapper intruder. The man stepped neatly aside, Dick's arm lashed the air futilely, he stumbled to one side and almost fell. The Lumbering Ninny "Look out, old fellow," said the stranger grinning, "you're liable to fall and hurt the other side of your jaw." Verna chuckled at Dick's discomfiture. He was such a lumbering ninny and this other fellow was so slick and quick. It was like a rhinoceros charging a tiger. Then she uttered a little sharp cry of dismay as she saw Dick, his face working with rage, advancing with an open knife. Dick had a bad reputation with a knife. In the frequent Saturday night brawls that enlivened things in Billy Goat Lan, he usually came out the victor. His acquaintances avoided quarrels with him when they knew he was armed with a blade. Now he moved toward the stranger doubled to a dangerous crouch, the knife blade glittering in the moonlight. "D—n you!" he growled, "I'll stop you from buttin' in where you ain't got no business." When he was almost upon the stranger, the man stepped back a pace, reached in the bosom of his coat and withdrew a shining automatic revolver. Twirling it on his finger, he stood nonchalant but attentive, a grim, hard, cynical smile playing around his lips. Dick stopped in his tracks, clicked his knife shut, shoved it in his pocket and grinned sheepishly. "Well, brother, I guess youse th' best," he declared with a tone of finality, and bestowing a baleful glance upon Verna, turned and strode hurriedly away. "You'd better git away from here." she warned. "Dick's liable to come back here with his gang. He's a bad one, he is." Humph! Why was she saying that? Was she being attracted to this stranger? She looked at his clean-cut features, accentuated by the moonlight, and her heart skipped a beat. Certainly he was handsome but there was something about his face, a certain expression of calculating hardness that warned her to be careful. After all, she might not be as safe with this man as she had been with Dick. Men were so funny. You could never tell about them. "My name is Donald Baxter," he said quietly, ignoring her warning. "Donald Baxter from Kalesburg. Just ran over to Norrisburg for a little rest and vacation. Awfully glad to be of service to you. I always say that a man has no business kissing a girl unless she wants him to do it. All caresses ought to be voluntary. I think. That's why I interfered when I saw you weren't approving of our friend's attentions." How nicely he spoke! Just like the Richlands. And how well dressed he was!

"How do you know my name and so much about me?" she asked, consumed with curiosity, while her big, black eyes opened wonderingly. "Because I saw you the first night I came in town, fell head over heels in love with you, and just had to satisfy my curiosity."

There was a ring of sincerity in his voice and his eyes reflected it. Verna hung her head coquettishly.

How jealous the girls would be when they saw her keeping company with Donald Baxter! "Sure, you can drive me home." he agreed resolutely.

What a swell chicken, he murmured to himself, glancing sidewise at her. For a week now he had been watching her, hoping that some way would be found to strike up an acquaintance. The events of the evening had seemingly been made to order for him. Now, everything would be clear sailing. What simple little country girl could resist the blandishments of the famous Don Baxter, bootlegger and gambler extraordinary? He smiled sardonically and sent the speedometer up to sixty in his moment of exhilaration. Don Makes Violent Love By a roundabout way, they came 3 to Billy Goat Lane. Don brought the car to a stop with a lurch and helped Verna out. The moon was hopelessly buried in a bank of clouds now, and the night was very dark. The girl started uneasily when Don's steely grip closed around her wrist. She could feel the intensity of his gaze upon her and her heart beat quickened. Was she to have another adventure this evening? Was she to escape one man only to be annoyed by another? She shrank protestingly. Don was quick to notice it and loosened his grip. For a moment he had forgotten himself. "Don't be frightened. Verna," he said in a simulated hurt tone. "I'm not a roughneck, you know." "I'm not frightened," she laughed. He seemed so in earnest that she wanted to kiss him, but, of course, she didn't dare. "See you tomorrow, then." she said, and ran into the house. He looked after her hungrily. Then he caught himself and smiled. What a fool he was, losing his head over a pretty little country girl who probably didn't have sense enough to come in out of the rain. And yet, it was so hard to resist her. What a gem she was! How jealous his friends in Kalesburg would be if he brought back such a beauty to add to his string! He lit a cigarette, leisurely settled himself behind the steering wheel, and drove slowly down the highway. Trembling with excitement, Verna lay in bed thinking of the evening's happenings. To have a knight come to one's rescue; to speed over the boulevards in a powerful motor car; to be in the company of a gentleman of wealth and culture who did not try to force a girl to kiss him but was willing to respect her by biding his time—what an adventure! The next night Don called for Verna at the Richland's back door just when she was about to leave for home. She was surprised and pleasurably so, especially since she noticed Miss Anne Richland looking out of the back bedroom window. Verna tossed her head proudly and stepped into the roadster. It was every whit as expensive as the Richland's car, and she was glad to let them see that some Negroes had just as good things as some white folk. After that first evening, Don was a persistent suitor. Every night his car was at the Richland's back door. Every night he took her driving, to a dance, or to a moving picture. He spent money like water, according to the small town standards of Norrisburg, and that impressed the colored girls of the town more than anything else. They marvelled how Verna had captured him, and tried hard to flirt with him themselves. They soon found it was useless, however, because Don couldn't see anyone but Verna. He often laughed softly to hmself when he was alone and thought of the innocent-appearing part he was playing. He, Donald Baxter, the man with a score of sweethearts, playing the part of the lovesick youth! It was indeed laughable. True, he liked Verna, and was willing to go to great lengths to win her affection, but he was not thinking of giving her his name. His attentions were not very honorable. He was willing to be a good pal, but not a husband. Why should he marry, he often asked his friends, and tie himself down to one woman, when there were so many he could have, just for the asking? Verna Is Cynical He was just here in Norrisburg until things quieted down in Kalesburg. Prohibition officers and the uplift folk had forced him to suspend his operations for a while and he had come to this little town as a safe haven. With plenty of money, plenty of clothes, an expensive car, a lively imagination and a capacity for a good time at all times, he could think of nothing better than utilizing his vacation to play at love. But as the days grew into weeks, weeks of heavenly pleasure in the charming Verna's company, he began to really fall in love with her.

I became acquainted with two very interesting men—Ralph Miles, a feature writer for a syndicate of Negro newspapers, and Hubert Holcomb, former crack member of the Chicago Police Department. Naturally, since crime detection is much more interesting than the selling game, or feature writing, our conversations would always drift around to criminals and crime. He, Miles and I began to meet on the north veranda evenings, a seldom used part of the little hotel, there to listen to Holcomb's versions of the Carlisle Murder Case, the Simmons Murder Case, the Mitchell Murder Case, the Collins Murder Case, and the Griffin Murder Case—all of which I shall in due time record for you in these columns. Briefly, the first part of Holcomb's experience with the Carlisles was thus: One cold January morning some years ago, Mrs. Jasper Carlisle, wealthy, about forty-nine years old, the wife of one of the wealthiest Negroes in and about South Parkway at the time, called at headquarters and sought out the Missing Persons Bureau—where she suddenly broke into tears and stated that her husband had disappeared. He was last seen by their chauffeur when he put him on the sidewalk in the downtown section about four o'clock the preceding evening. Hubert Holcomb was given this case. As a first step he decided to call on Mrs. Carlisle and arrived at her luxurious apartment about two hours after her dismissal at headquarters. He found her dead—sprawled on her own living-room floor in a pool of blood; a gash at her temple, and a heavy metal book end on the floor beside her, bloody! After teiling Miles and me about the body he had found sprawled on the floor, Holcomb had lapsed into a dramatic silence. But now he stirred, discarded his pipe, and plunged into the narration again I say "plunged" because I commenced to see . . . Holcomb suddenly lifted his eyes from the lifeless body of the woman and swung around toward the door. He had become aware of a faint movement. Automatic in hand, he listened and was drawn toward what appeared to be a coat closet. As he neared it, the movement grew more distinct, and the door itself began to open slowly — then suddenly it swung entirely open! Holcomb stopped and frowned. A man — a little brown-skinned man — stood half stooped, with his hands caressing his forehead and terror in his reddened eyes. "Who are you?" Holcomb spat the words. The man seemed to suddenly jerk himself from out of a trance. Without uttering a word, he immediately passed the detective into the living room and fell heavily upon the woman's body, weeping and pounding the floor madly. "The dog!" he groaned. "... the dirty dog! Oh, Annie Oh, God, Annie if you'd only stayed away a little longer!" And then he collapsed. For a minute Holcomb just stood there and pitied the poor devil. He had to. He then started a series of questions — and it was one sorry story!

Holcomb waited in silence. "I left my club about ten o'clock," he started afresh, "and was standing on Indiana Avenue waiting for a taxi — our chauffeur goes off around eight — when suddenly a car drew swiftly up and stopped directly in front of me. As quick as a flash, a tall man, his hat pulled low over his eyes, his hands stuffed into his overcoat pockets, got to the sidewalk and whispered gruffly, 'You're covered, see? Get into the car. Squawk an' I'll drill you. Move!' "I got into the car to save my life. As soon as the door slammed, it shot forward and at least three men proceeded to bind and gag me, cursing and threatening me all the while." Where did they take you?" Holcomb questioned impatiently. "Which direction did they take?" "I don't know," Carlisle said, "I'll never know, because the dogs chloroformed me! The next thing I remember I was sitting in a poorly-furnished, ugly room, bound to a squeaky chair, with the three cutthroats pacing the floor in front of me, whispering among themselves, smoking cigarettes, and cutting at me with malicious glances three brown-skinned men, they were, with the mark of the underworld upon their faces."

Carlisle remained silent for a minute, then went on ironically: "One of the dogs," he said, "— apparently the leader, made their position clear. They wanted money — lots of it — at least five thousand. When I refused, he cursed me, threatened, vowed to stuff my body into a gunny sack and toss it into the Lake. And I believe he would have." Carlisle suddenly staggered to his feet and, avoiding the body on the floor, crossed the room to the massive library table. From a drawer he took something, then recrossed the room and handed it to Holcomb. "If I could have gotten to it!" he said grimly. It was a little Colt automatic.

His body drooped even further forward; his feet twitched nervously upon the carpet; his fingers stiffened and relaxed like a man itching for blood. Inaudible curses escaped his lips. Holcomb compressed his lips; took to pacing to and fro. Carlisle suddenly sat upright and glared at him, insanity in his eyes thunder in his voice. "Stop it!" he rasped. "I say stop it! That's the way that dog hounded me — stand still!" And then he beat his fists upon the arms of the chair, lurched forward again and groaned.

Few of us who saw him in, "Kit Carson," will ever forget the lovable colored lad who, by feats of magic, wins over a tribe of Indians and becomes chief of the tribe in time to come to Fred Thomson's rescue with his band of warriors. Such intelligent and human characterizations have made him a credit to his race. Just when his career had really begun, he was stricken with ptomaine poisoning and was removed to a hospital, where it was found that his entire system was overrun with the poison. He remained flat on his back for many months; too weak to move; hovering between life and death. His many new found friends that were acquired simultaneously with his fame suddenly disappeared. The money that he had lavished on these so-called friends would have stood him in good stead at this time for while he was in the hospital he lost his car and most of his possessions through these self-same friends.

The Woman's Tonic ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION-June 21, 1930 THE MASTER From Left to Right—Raymond Turner, Lawford Davidson, Richard Barthelmess as the three appeared in "The Patent Leather Kid," one of Barthelmess's greatest starring successes. Fortune-Teller to The "400" He was too proud to ask for assistance from any of the stars or other friends on the studio lots, such as Mr. Rockett. He did not even let them know that he was sick. When they called at his old address there was no response, and they wondered what had happened to him. Ate Left-Over Food When he was finally discharged from the hospital, he was almost too weak to stand. Everything of value that he had owned was either sold or in pawn, including his clothes. The shabby suit he wore when released from the sick ward represented his entire wardrobe. After his past glowing successes, his pride would not permit him to make the rounds of the studios and ask for a job. He doubted whether he would even be recognized in his present condition. He decided that he would stay until he could get together a few clothes and at least make a presentable appearance. A job as janitor in an apartment house was found and Raymond, still weak and sick, started on an endless nightmare of heavy lifting, emptying garbage pails, and almost everything that a fellow in his emaciated condition should not do. Tenants of the place would offer him food left over from their own cooking and he would swallow his pride and choke down the food, meanwhile wondering why his em- "Recently I have observed some unusual appearance of stars in the heavens and this indicates confusion. There is so much wickedness in the world that terrible disasters will come unless the people reform. Everybody is seeking the almighty dollar." At this point a woman came up who had lost $10 which she thought had been stolen by some roomers. She told Mrs. Horton she wanted to know whether her money was stolen, and Mrs. Horten said: "I can not tell you who stole it, but I can tell you who you think stole it. You have two men roomers. One left the house by the back door, the other by the front door. The one you think stole the money left by the front door. You are probably right." It seems that Mrs. Horton was right. The visitor paid Mrs. Horton one dollar and left her presence satisfied. In a few minutes an enfeebled and aged colored woman came in, looking the picture of despair. She said: "Honey, I'm distressed. I'm sick and the doctor's medicine fixes me worse. I know you can tell me what's the matter." Mrs. Horton said: "My dear, you are scared. You have enemies you think are dangerous. You fear they may kill you. Now, the first thing for you to do is to remove to some other part of the city among strangers." "Yes." said the visitor. "I will go ployer would only pay twice a month. That first pay-day seemed to be as far away as the next Christmas. He is still not quite sure just how he ever managed to stick it out for the first two weeks. A picture in which he had had a prominent part the year before had been held for a late release and was not shown until the year after it had been made. One day, while emptying garbage pails and putting new paper in them, Raymond, still feeble and nauseated by his unpleasant task, saw his picture on a page of the paper that he was about to line the inside of a pail with. "Ray's" Philosophy Slowly he unfolded it and with weak, shaking fingers he spread it flat against the wall and read a glowing tribute to his acting. He was acclaimed as a superb artist! His head raised a trifle higher; his shoulders squared a bit more; he stood a little more erect. As he told me later: "A little bit of encouragement to a man who is down can sure make him keep going, even if it comes out of a garbage pail." Lauded by Al Jolson Because of keeping his whereabouts a secret. Raymond had lost several good parts that he could have had if anyone on the lot had known where to get in touch with him. After about his third pay-day at the apartment right home now and move." Mrs. Horton then told the old woman that she must not eat heavy foods, but should choose a diet that could be easily digested. Some exercise in walking must be done, but a woman her age must not overexert herself. The lady paid Mrs. Horton two dollars and left her house in a cheerful mood. Among other things which Mrs. Horton said to the old lady were: "Dear, these enemies you have may not be enemies. Didn't you get the impression that these folks did not like you before you said anything to them?" "Yes," said the woman. "Well," Mrs. Horton went on to say, "You see most of our hurtful enemies exist in our own minds. We are mentally sick. Go home, dear, and forget everything that hurts your feelings. Think of the things that give you pleasure. "Work hard at the job you like to do. Don't visit anybody unless it is someone that you like. Now you try my medicine for two weeks and come back." The old woman came in bent over leaning on a stick. She left walking uprightly and had thrown her stick away. Mrs. Horton said she had traveled with wealthy white families, not as a maid but as mental therapeutist. She said she has no prejudice on account of race but is happy to be a full-blooded Negro. She is copper-colored, has large eyes that melt one. By GERALDINE FOX Frost on a window pane means that outside, the atmosphere is cold.

Boils come from impurities in the house, he appeared with a natty new suit and looking very much like the prosperous young fellow of a year ago except for a certain thinness that was very evident. He went to work shortly after his reappearance, due partly to the fact that his performance in the recently released picture was still fresh in the minds of those who had seen it. After a few ordinary "program" pictures, he landed a part with Rockett again, and when Al learned what he had gone through without letting him know he was furious. A couple of pictures on the Fox lot helped to put him more firmly on his feet and replenish his meager wardrobe. Immediately after doing these pictures, he was signed to support Al Jolson in "Big Boy." He was a "WOW." Even Jolson, who is notorious for claiming all of the spotlight, lauded his acting highly. Warner Brothers were thinking of signing him to a time contract but didn't think fast enough, for the Fox people brought him back to their lot in the meantime.

He took her petalsmooth brown hand and stroked it gently. "Is it love, Don," said Verna, half amused, "or is it just passion?" "It's love, Verna." "How do I know you're telling the truth. All of you men say that." "But all men aren't alike, Verna." "Oh, No-o-o? Well, there might be a difference in the way they work, but they're all looking for the same thing." "You're too young to be so hard, my dear." "Well. I don't think so. You can't ever be too young to know what it's all about." "But Verna," Don expostulated, "I'm really sincere. It would give me more pleasure than anything I know if you would let me be your friend." "Aren't we already friends, Don?" "Oh, you know what I mean!" "I heard what you said." "Now, Honey, don't be like that. I've been pretty nice to you, haven't I?" "Do you want me to give you credit for that? I thought you were naturally polite." "Of course I'm naturally polite, you silly girl, but still a young fellow like me expects a girl to give him a break when he's been real nice."

I was nervous, ached all over and had to stay in bed for days at a time. A friend told me about the Compound. As soon as I took the first bottle I began to feel like a new woman. It has improved my health greatly. I am glad of the honor to recommend it to every woman." ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 21, 1930 "Just what do you mean?" "Is it necessary to go into details?" "Well, you had ought to make yourself clear. I'm no mind reader, you know." Don "Stalled off" Verna loved to match wits with men. It gave her a thrill to know that she could hold them at a distance. Let them come just so close and no closer. She felt that she could not afford to go too far with Donald Baxter. There was a certain something about her that warned her to be on her guard. Nevertheless she was not unaware of her station in life and the exalted position in the social scheme to which she aspired. Contact with Don might help her to get those things, so she did not want to exasperate him too much. Don was not far from being exasperated. His desire for Verna grew by the minute and yet, in spite of all he did to make her happy, she held him at arms' length. "I'm getting sick of being stalled off," he grumbled. "Here I've been knowing you for over three weeks and you've been too stingy to even let me have a kiss. How long do you think I would have to drive these other girls around before they would do me that little favor?" "Are you comparing me with the other girls in this town?" she queried archly. "I thought you said I was in a class by myself?" "Of course you are. Honey," he hastened to assure her. "And I wouldn't think of comparing you with the other girls, but I just want you to know that I think you've been ungrateful." Verna saw that she had probably overplaved her hand. While she was confident that her beauty and charm would hold Don or any other man, she also knew, almost instinctively, that even the most ardent lovers throw up the sponge if they are not encouraged. "Don't be silly, old pal," she cooed, placing her dainty brown hand on his shoulder. "If you knew how much I really cared for you, you wouldn't worry at all. I'm not as ungrateful as you think I am; but a girl's got to be careful, you know." Don brightened visibly. After all, perhaps. Verna was a "regular fellow."

Ma b S BLACK AND WHITE OINTMENT and SKIN SOAP touched her cheek lightly with his lips. She smiled coquettishly and emboldened by her invitation, he crushed her in his strong arms. "Sweetheart." he said hoarsely, "please let me take you out of all this. You have no business slaving your life away in the white folks' kitchen when I can give you everything you want. Don't be a fool; let me help you." "Maybe I might—some time." she said quietly, nestling a bit closer. "but you're still not going into details, Don. I suppose you want me to go back to Kalesburg with you, don't you?" "We-ell, ves." Don admitted. "Yes, and what then. You tell me how much you are going to give me and how good you're going to be to me, but you haven't explained anything. I may be living in a dirty shack here in Norrisburg but at least I'm honest, Don, and can look the world in the face." Verna. the Dare-devil "Who asked you not to be honest?" he blustered. He had a sudden thought and inspiration. "I'm going to offer you a good job in my cabaret in Norrisburg. All you'll have to to is to act as hostess, wear fine clothes and be nice to the customers. So you see you'll be making your own money and I won't bother you unless you permit me. If that isn't a fair proposition. I don't know one when I see it." Verna's eyes glistened. Here WAS the real opportunity she had been looking for; a chance to get out of by WALTER GLASTON the dirt and squalor of Billy Goat Lane without compromising herself. She wanted so much to get ahead, to amount to something, and here was a way out. She felt confident that she could take care of herself. Besides, she was convinced that Don was sincere. "I'll take you on that." she said firmly and simply. "When?" he asked, with strangely mingled feeling of joy and triumph. "Will you go now? I'll get all of the things you need and you needn't bother about that two or three dollars that the Richlands owe you. That's merely chicken feed. Tell me, will you go now?" Verna hesitated and pondered. It was a dangerous step she was taking, and yet what hope was there for her in Norrisburg? What could a girl—especially a colored one—amount to there? How could she ever have the pretty things she wanted to set off her beauty just by working as a maid or a cook? The old dare-devil spirit that had distinguished her from the other girls since she was able to walk, now surged within her. She had nothing to lose, she felt, and a great den to gain. Turning to Don, she announced smilingly, "All right, big boy. I'm game." Don could almost have shouted with glee. He turned to start the car, and there beside it, looking grim and determined, was Dick Colvin. (To be continued next week) EMA?

"That thing in your hand caused me to lie to them," he said. 'I knew there was goin' to be blood spilled and I wanted an even chance. That's why I lied to them. I told them I had six thousand dollars in my apartment. I promised them this if they would spare my life. But I had my mind on the thing in your hands." "There followed a silence in which the dogs engaged in whispers. The blind at the one window was drawn, but I could tell it was getting late 17 THE MYSTERY OF THE BROKEN WALL "He told one sorry story." in the morning. I was wondering if they would swallow my bait. I wondered an hour. Then one of the cutthroats produced a pack of cards. They were shuffled then slapped on a chair. They began to draw, one by one until the shortest one cursed and flung his card to the floor. It was the ace of spades. "They had swallowed my bait. I was blindfolded, manhandled down four flights of stairs, a gun poked into my ribs, then hustled across the sidewalk and into a car, which lurched forward at once. My captor - the one who had drawn the ace of spades - pressed close to me and said, 'If y' think you're goin' t' put over anything smart you're as good as dead! I'll gut you sure . . .'" "I promised to produce." "When the boat stops you hop out an' go up the fire escape — get that?" "An' if y' try anything crooked ...' he pressed the gun to my side. "The rest you can guess," Carlisle went on doggedly. "Things didn't work out as I thought. Mrs. Carlisle was not here when I let the crook and myself in the back door for which I secretly thanked God. But it was not to last. We had only gained the living room entrance there when the elevator door outside clanged shut. It took only a second more for my wife to insert her key into the lock — at which the dog forced me behind the screen over there, threatening instant death." Carlisle commenced to list forward again. "The rest," he said weakly. "I am too utterly wretched to tell in detail. My wife discovered us somehow. Before she could scream, the rat downed her with that thing on the floor. I went blind with rage and dashed for the table. That's all I know — except that something caught me on the chin." Really, the Carlisle murder yarn was getting so good at this point that I could almost see Carlisle sitting there in the chair, with his wife, dead, sprawled on the floor before him, telling this sorry tale to the man who was now passing it on to us. Through the semi-darkness we, Miles and I, could see Holcomb rumbling for his tobacco pouch. Presently a match flared up and illuminated his face, and Miles glanced toward me in a quiet puzzle.

And then, with the exception of the red glow that marked his pipe bowl, everything was semi-black again. of this every time I approached the mirror, it was the eye of a crafty gambler who bets large sums, then, if the game drags, commences to fret over the outcome. In other words, I became convinced that something "It was the rawest case I had ever investigated," Holcomb declared. "I called headquarters, then took Carlisle by the arm and assisted him into one of the bedrooms, where he fell heavily upon the bed. wretched beyond words apparently. He was like a man upon his death bed weak, speechless now. "Expensively furnished, this chamber — massive mahogany; a great four-poster bedstead, a chiffonier, and a huge dresser, its mirror extra large. Between it and the door leading into the hall I walked to and fro restlessly — a habit of mine, scratching the high spots of Carlisle's story on my pad. My chief would show up pretty soon, you see. "And yet each time I passed by the foot of the bed my eyes were drawn to the wretched man sprawled across it. His face was buried in the linen, his fists clenched, his legs stiff, as if paralyzed . . . I pitied the poor devil." Holcomb crossed his heavy legs and hurled a question at us. "Have either of you gentlemen, he asked, 'ever bet on a horse and lost?' "Yes," I said: "but what has that got to do with . . .?" "So have I," Miles cut in "... and it's sure one funny feeling!" "Funny, eh? Well I'll go you one, Holcomb countered. "On one of my trips toward Carlisle's mirror, I felt suddenly funnier; I felt — what do they call it? — flabbergasted! "I'm telling you that when I happened to glance into the mirror above Carlisle's dresser, I received a genuine shock! I had passed the foot of the bed, you see, and was about three feet from the dresser, with my back to Carlisle, when something within me suddenly stiffened, though I managed not to reveal my discovery by action or gesture. I even managed to make another trip to the door, turn, then approach the mirror again — and my discovery was still there!" "I saw one of Carlisle's eyes in the mirror; the reflection of an eye half hidden behind a wrinkle in the linen. Remember, Carlisle was lying upon his stomach. But for the fact that he was several feet lower than the bottom of the mirror, he must have seen too — hid his face altogether. As it was, he couldn't see higher than my knees! "Now, it wasn't the kind of an eye one would expect to find on the face of a man who had just witnessed the murder of his wife.

"Dunno," Holcomb said. "We couldn't blast it out of him.

I became more and more convinced of this every time I approached the mirror, it was the eye of a crafty gambler who bets large sums, then, if the game drags, commences to fret over the outcome. In other words, I became convinced that something was on Carlisle's mind other than crooks and corpses. "And that wasn't all! It seemed to me that the closer I got to the dresser the more fire, the more concern, the more amazement, the more uneasiness was reflected in that eye. As an experiment, I commenced to let my steps carry me closer to the dresser — and the eye fairly blazed! "As an officer of the law, gentlemen, it was my duty to follow up every clue; yet, I must admit that what followed was partly inspired by the personal equation. According to that half-hidden eye, I had been made an ass of, do you see; and now I wanted revenge, though, of course this was secondary in importance to my duty. "Anyway, on one of my trips back toward the door, I decided to take a very, very long chance. A man who had the reputation I had has to be careful, gentlemen. But I took the chance. At the door, with my revolver drawn, I swung around suddenly and said quietly: 'Jasper Carlisle, I arrest you for the murder of your wife! I warn you that anything you may say will be used against you! "At first Carlisle didn't move; yet I sensed a sudden rigidness; something that hinted at fibre suddenly drawn taut. Then he scrambled up off the bed suddenly and almost screamed, 'You lie! You lie! You lie!' "But guilt was upon the man's face, gentlemen, and, keeping him covered, I repeated, 'Jasper . . . Carlisle . . . I . . . arrest . . . you . . . for . . . the . . . murder . . . of . . . your . . . wife!' "And so that marked the end of Carlisle. That night he spent in a cell." "Very extraordinary!" Miles exclaimed when Holcomb stopped ta'king; "but do you mean to imply that Carlisle actually planned the whole thing?" "From A to Z," Holcomb said. "Why, at his trial — and also the coroner's inquest—it was brought out that he had been converting his assets into cash for six months. I found all but one thousand dollars of it in a hole in the wall behind the heavy dresser." "But the motive?" I interrupted. "Along with the cash," Holcomb said, "we found two tickets in an envelope stamped for Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Whittier. These were later SPIRITUALISTS The short cut to Regeneration through Fasting.
