FIRE CHIEF MAKES REPORT OF LOSSES IN MONTH OF JUNE In the monthly fire report issued by Chief Frank Parkey, the two stations located in the central busi- ness district, south of the Wabash railroad tracks, handled more than 17 per cent of the total number of fires in the city. In a total of sev- enty fires in the city, these two stations, hose company No. 4 and truck company No. 2, responded to 12 in their districts. The gross building and contents risk attending the fires in the city during the month of June repre- sented a total value of $519,100, with a contents loss estimated at $4,340, an average of 8 per cent loss on the gross value. In the cen- tral business district alone, the gross contents gnd building risk was $158,200, or 30 per cent of the total; while the gross loss on con- tents and buildings was $1,018, or 23 per cent of the total. pertinent aragraphs President Hoover's Haitian Edu- cational Commission, headed by Dr. Robert2. Moten, principal of Tus- kegec Institute, returned to New York last Monday, going from there directly to their respective homes. They will reassemble in Washington on August 1 to make their report to President Hoover. It is expected that this commission has assembled a mass of informa- tion relating to Haiti's educational and national life. It is the hope of the administration that with the information compiled by this com- mission, it may find means to give to Haiti its independence, without the interference of the U, S. Mar- ines. If such can be accomplished the expense of the commission will have been well appropriated, and because of our interest in :nterna- tional affairs in general, and in particular when they affect Ne- groes, we shall be somewhat pleas- ed with the whole idea. But why not “clean our own house first?” Lynchers Vie With Marines The U. S. Marines may pe using iron-handed methods in “protecting the serenity” of the Haitian re;.ub- lic, but we cannot concieve of them being any worse than the methods used by the “crackers”, “red-necks” and “Judge Lynch” protagonists in the states south of the Mason and Dixon line. But you do not find a government commission, investigat- ing to find cause and ways to re- move them. The government does not even protect its southern Afro- American citizens to the letter of the constitution, much eel trying to devise new ways and means of citizenship protection The Haitian commission reports that the government pays the na- tive teachers $4 to $6 per day, while the imported French Catho- lic teachers get big salaries, That's nothing! We know of instances in the South, where the state govern- ments, super-induced by the laxity of the federal government, spends less than that for the education of their Negro citizens, while at the same time spending thousands of dollars yearly for the education of the Caucasian citizens. Notwithstanding our interest in international brotherly love, and our appreciation of President Hoo- ver's expressed interest in Haitian Negroes, and our sincere confi- dence in Dr. Moton’s commissjn, we think that better use could have been made of the tax-payer’s mon- ey in improving Negro educational conditions; and it would not have required going very far from. the Potomac river; merely cross over it, start to work, continue ‘he wort: ‘until the Gulf of Mexico ani the Rio Grande is reached, then siart action! 157 YEAR-OLD CUBAN DIES OF INFIRMITY GUANTANAMO, CUBA—Camila Thaurane, an African, reputed to be 157 years old, died this week. His death was presumably old-age, not having been ill at any time during the memory of the oldest in- habitants of the surrounding terri- tory, and had been active up to about a week before his death. A new machine gun can fire 800 bullets a minute and has a range of nine miles. fi adio— ite (pepe ‘4 hale! ee Sey IMPROVEMENTS IN : RECEIVING SETS Much has been spoken and writ- ten about the marvelous advances made ii the electrical features of radio during the past five years, Improvements in circuits, improve- ments in speakers, improvements in tubes, have all come in for their share of glory, Litlic has been said, however, about an equally important phese of receivers—in which there have also been great advances—the me- chenical features, Compare a re- cciver of five years ago with one of today and you will be astounded at the mechanical improvements that have been made.

A slight ees ee often pubisient 56, break the brittle panels, necessitating. re- construction of ibe sulibedecctve® Today all units are bolted to a rigid metal chassis, which is strong enough to withstand severe treat- ment. Incidentally, it also improves the electrical characteristics of the receiver. At that time separate tuning condensers were used for the differ- ent radio circuits, necessitating a number of tuning controls. Today all tuning condensers are mounted together on one shaft, operated by a single station selector, One dial tuning is one of the greatest con- veniences that has been introduced since the days of the earliest broad- cast receivers, Volume controls and switches are of improved design—easier to operate and more positive in ac- tion. Tuning dials are illuminated from the rear, for easier tuning. Tube sockets are simpler, more re- liable, and cheaper to manufacture. Many units have been improved and at the same time simplified, bringing quality radio within the means of, smaller pocket books. Improved mechanical design has resulted in extreme compactness in the modern receiver. When one realizes that a small metal chassis now houses the complete radio and power system replacing in the older order a large receiver unit, a storage battery, and several dry batteries—one can see what im- provements have been made along this line. Another progressive step involv- ing the artistic as well as the me- chanical is the design of utility type cabinets and consoles. Radios have lost their radio-like appear- ance. They have become beautiful pieces of furniture. Manufacturers have learned that it is good busi- ness to please the eye as well as the ear. OHIO ORCHESTRA AT GAY MILL GARDENS The Buckeye Melodians of Springfield, Ohio, age in the city to fill a week’s engagement at the Gay Mill ballroom. This group of jazz hounds may be heard over station WJKS during the Gay Mill broad- cast. This red-hot orchestra was the guest of Kid Brown, at the Lin- coln Gardens, last Monday. The ‘members of the jazz troupe are Edward Hamilton, piano; Kenneth Merrit, saxophone; Earle Warren, saxophone; Ben Woods, cornet: Richard Sugl, saxophone; Richard Dunlap, trombone; William Brad- ford, drums; Frances Greene, cor- net; Howard Reynolds, banjo; John Sanford, tuba and William West, manager. Remains of an interrupted dinner party of some 1,600 years ago were found by German explorers in Ecu- ador. While natives of that far-off day were seated at their meal, a clay bank above gave way, burying diners, pottery and feast of masto- don meat. From the bones and other objects found scientists have gained much information concern- ing early conditions in Ecuador, Nearly 12 million persons in Ger- many now receive salaries or other financial aid from the government. CHICAGO READ FOR BIPTISIS NATIONAL MEET CHICAGO — Undoubtedly __ the most gigantic religious gathering in the history of the Negro race in America will mark the “forthcom- ing celebration of the golden jubi- lee of the National Baptist Con- vention of America, incorporated, which will be held in this city Aug- ust 14 through August 25. Dr. L. K. William, president of the con- vention, and pastor of Olivet Bap- tist church of this city, is superin- tending the plans and programs of the convention, and has announced that they are moving forward in a rapid and satisfactory manner. According to the program: in ad- dition to the stressing of the re- ligious side of life, and a review of the history and progress of the or- ganization, during its fifty years of existence, every phase of life will come in for discussion. The econ- omic conditions of the race as a whole will be studied and efforts made to formulate a plan whereby progress in this direction, a8 well as in education and health might be accelerated. Pageant Depicting Progress One of the features of the pro- gram will be a pageant depicting the history and progress of the Na- tional Baptist Convention and the history of the Negro race. This pageant has been very carefully worked out and will be staged at the coliseum with special scenery and lighting effects. Rivalling the pageant will be the huge athletic carnival which will be held August 22 at Soldier Field, in which athletic teams and _repre- sentatives of various Sunday Schools of the denomination and B. Y. P. U. organizations will partici- pate. All Denominations Cooperating Realizing the significance and im- portance of the convention, busi- ness and professional men are co- operating with the local conven- tion committee in preparing for the event which will bring to the city more than 50,000 people. Denomi- national lines have been laid aside and all of Chicago is united in this big effort. The convention bids fair to be one of the greatest events in the history of Chicago and Chicago in- tends to do its proud for the occa- sion. Every. detail is being eare- fully planned and worked out so that everything will be in readi- ness when the convention is called to order. NEGRO ELECTED NEWYORK BANK PS NEW YORK CITY—Marking the first time in the financial history of New York City, a Negro was elected to the vice-presidency of a national bank, when Robert T.

NEGRO WOMAN INTIMATED WHITE MOB PHILADELPHIA-— Having secur- ed full police protection of her home on north Sixtieth street, Mrs. Bertha Quillen is prepared to de- fend herself against a recurrence of an attack upon she and her aged mother, one night last week, by white hoodlums, threatening her to move from the neighborhood. In an. interview with a staff corres- dent of the Gary American, Mi. Quillen stated, “I am certain- ly going to remain. It is my con- stitutional right to live wherever I ean afford to rent or buy pro- perty.” Mrs. Quillen, a beauty culturist, just moved into the Sixtieth sttget house in the forenoon of the day of the attack. Before she and her mother had arranged their fur- nitire, a note demanding their re- val from the neighborhood hed delivered to them. They ig- ni the threat. Late that night the. bombardment of the house be- . Brieks were hurled through the parlor window, damaging many household effects. Fires Revolver At the time of the attack of the white hoodlums, Mrs. Quil'en, who was alone in the house with her mother, Mrs. Sarah Yancey, rushed to her bedroom and sccured a re- volver. She went to her window and fired into the air. A roadster parked in front of her house, oceu- pied by two young white men, sped away. Also a group of men that were forming around the house fled. Police Investigate Because of the pistot shot, on complaint of her neighbors, police were sent to investigate the shoot- ing. Mrs, Quillen had previously reported the threat to the district police station, but nothing had been done. It was then that the com- manding officer assured her she would have full police protection.

Mr, MeCor- mack, well known to patrons of concert and opera, has by far sur- passed most men along his lines of entertainment. In the recording of “Song o' My Heart,” none of the fine points of Mr. MecCormack’'s voice has been lost. The setting of “Song o' My Heart was laid in Ireland. In the film ing of this picture, mpst of the scenes were made in the quaint town of Dublin. It was necessary to send the entire cast to Ireland so that the typical Irish atmos- phere of “Song o' My Heart” could be carried out.

THAIN CRUSHES SKULL; POLIGE PROBE BROTHER shrouded by a veil of mysterious, partially incriminating — cireum- stances, the inquest into the death of Jefferson Kinney, 42 years, war veteran of Danville, Il, who was found dead alongside the Indiana Harbor Belt line tracks at Madison street Tuesday morning, has been postponed indefinitely by deputy coroner Owens to allow further in- vestigation. At first the death was thought to have resulted from the man evidently trying to illegally ride a train, but because of rumors implicating a number of the dead man's friends, the coroner's office ordered an investigation, and asked the police to arrest Emit Kinney, 39, 1740 Adams, brother of the dead man, Brother Questioned Because of a rumor that the two. brothers had quarreled the night previous to Jefferson Kinney’s death, Emil Kinney was called be- fore the cornoner’s inquest in erder to explain his actions in relation ro his brother. Rumors also became prevalent that Emil was one of the beneficiaries in his brother's war insurance policy. When questioned _concern\ these points, Emil stated. th ie police had been ight he and hig Drapien the cera disagreement at any” vreéent tine prior to the latter's death. He al so stated that the government war insurance policy named their sisier in Danville, Ill. as the beneficiary; also that on the night of his brotht er's death, he (Emil) had zone to Chicago at about 6 p. m. that even- ing, and did not return until eter 7 a. m. Tuesday morning. Jeffer- son's body was found about 6:30 Tuesday morning. Witnesses Deny Rumor Other witnesses in the case, Mra. Lucy Scott, 1740 Adams street, at whose home the Kinney brothers lived, and Thomas Jones, 1648 Mon- roe, friend of the two men, were summoned before the coroner. It was alleged that Mrs. Scott knew of arguments, of heated propensity, that had occured between the two men in her home. ‘This she stren- ously denied. It was also alleged that Jones had information contra- dictory to that first obtained from Emil by the police autohrities. They both were discharged by the deputy coroner as having no infor- mation of material evidence. “No Blood” a Mystery According to deputy-coroner Qw- ens, examination of the spot where the dead man was found revealed an exceptionally small amount of blood, in comparison to what would be expected in a death like this; the right arm having been severed from the body at the shoulder, and the ‘head crushed, from the nose to ‘top of the skull, Because of vari- ous rumors, and also this point, the coroner theorized that the dead man may have been killed some place other than the spot on which he was found, and then to avert suspicion ,was placed on the rail- road tracks. Although the inquest on ‘Thurs- ‘day afternoon developed no tang- ‘ible evidence to substantiate these theories, the deputy-coroner releas- ed Emil Kinney, pending further investigation into the case.

CAROLINA SAYS TOOnOT FOR LINGHERS Choe NEW YORK—An_ Associated Press dispatch from Walhalla, South Carolina, which is relayed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reveals the latest excuse discovered by a southern state for not punish- ing lynchers. Judge M. L, Bonham has granied a motion of defense counsel for a continuance of the trial of seven- teen men accused of lynching, on April 24 Allen Green, a fifty-year- old Negro, the continuance being granted to next fall because of the ‘excessive heat” in South Carolina The trial of Green's murderers was set for July 7th and the ex- pected postponement of the trial “until some indefinite time when the weather is cooler” appears, from the Associated Press dispatch, to have been expected by all par- ties concerned. According to the report, Solicitor Leon W.

CURRENT HISTORY LAUDS N. A. A. C. P. NEW YORK-—Current History magazine for June, contains a re- view of the successful struggle to prevent confirmation of the nomin- ation to the supreme court of Judge John J. Parker. Commenting upon the quotation from the _ political speech made by Judge Parker in 1920, which was the basis of the Negro opposition to him, Current History says: “Officers of the Na- tional Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People opposed this attitude as typical of the ‘lily white’ sentiment in North Carolina, where, they claimed, the Fowrteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to ¢he Constitution had been flagrantly violated.” WASHINGTON , 15542 Broadway MEN'S SUITS ; Cleaned and Pressed ; / -7S¢ , SILK DRESSES, LADIES : Suits and Overcoats Cleaned and Pressed We Call and Deliver | $1.00 Phone 2-2951 : ec | Harry’s | | Fruit Store: . 1542 Broadway Green Peppers | 40c doz.

Such is the most flagrant case of federal evident lack of appreciation since whose sons paid the supreme safe for (white man's) democracy the news report, we find that loud in the praise of the government against these hero-mothers, when the last resting place of their humiliation heaped upon them which their sons died. The American Merchant, Lines, transported the mother "said" it had been refused per over the liners belonging to Human Lloyd, Cunard, and Anchship transportation agencies, Where the time for a first-class Europe from New York averages to five days, it will require the days to make the trip; having and will reach France on July inspected by those in charge of Davis, appointed by the War to the pilgrimage, stated that he had been on, or inspected." teen days to reach France! It seems as if some person in this case of governmental Mothers, are not sure to remain foot. We have first in mind New York City, the vulnerable weekly newspaper in Harlem. "When our boys went to Fr Democracy—color played no part back they expected it—those in death that they had permanently did not pick out a white breast men down. There was no color. To quote his own paper, "scathing citation of the governor Negro mothers on separate site Later he changed fronts and proud, because the ship is first fact one of the finest I have ever four-square, sir, and state that it is being conducted, or that ye The National Association ored People was brought to the mentioned alderman, because, the orders of the War Departments 'over-ruled' he claims theuous by their absence."

Secretary of War Hurley tions by stating that, "the War no objection to the members of groups, provided they are welled." (To which President Holt done my good and faithful service also sends out the report that Europe refused to transport it and that the hotels of New York them. Until we have been she believe that the two statements merely faux pas by the Secretary his commander-in-chief! We take the position of ting the plan used in transportation and continue to vociferously may have made ourselves con believe we are equally as patric should present itself again, man and go to Leavenworth, than a defense of their country and tled by our president! WILL ROGERS IS TALKING RIOT AT CHICAGO THEATRE An the Gold Star Mothers sailed; meaning the Afro-American Gold Star Mothers, 58 of them, who sailed out of New York on last Saturday morning on the "freighter" American Merchant. Such is the digest of the news report of the most flagrant case of federal segregation, and a much evident lack of appreciation shown to these 58 mothers whose sons paid the supreme sacrifice in making the world safe for (white man's) democracy. But in the digestion of the news report, we find that certain Negro "leaders" were loud in the praise of the government's policy of segregation against these hero-mothers, who in their anxiety to kneel at the last resting place of their beloved ones, chose to suffer the humiliation heaped upon them by the government for which their sons died. The American Merchant, a vessel of the United States Lines, transported the mothers, after the War Department "said" it had been refused permission to send the mothers over the liners belonging to Holland America, North German Lloyd, Cunard, and Anchor lines, all first-class steamship transportation agencies, is ranked as a "freighter." Where the time for a first-class passenger ship to reach Europe from New York averages from three and one-half to five days, it will require the American Merchant thirteen days to make the trip; having left American soil on July 12, and will reach France on July 25. But when the ship was inspected by those in charge of the trip, Col. Benjamin O. Davis, appointed by the War Department as military escort to the pilgrimage, stated that it "was one of the finest ships he had been on, or inspected." And yet it will require thirteen days to reach France! It seems as if some persons who have become interested in this case of governmental segregation against Gold Star Mothers, are not sure to remain where they first place their foot. We have first in mind Alderman Fred R. Moore, of New York City, the venerable editor of a long established weekly newspaper in Harlem. Among other things, he said: "When our boys went to France, they were fighting for Democracy—color played no part—and when they came back they expected it—those who remained felt assured in death that they had permanently established it. The bullet did not pick out a white breast or a black breast—it struck men down. There was no color line in the bullets." To quote his own paper, "he electrified his hearers by a scathing citation of the government's policy of sending the Negro mothers on separate ships from the white mothers." Later he changed fronts and said "the mothers should be proud, because the ship is first-class in every respect, in fact one of the finest I have ever been on." Why not stand four-square, sir, and state that you are either for the trip as it is being conducted, or that you are against it, as is? The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was brought to task, editorially, by the aforementioned alderman, because, after strenuously objecting to the orders of the War Department, and having their objections 'over-ruled' he claims they "made themselves conspicuous by their absence." Further, he states, "the Association sought to stir up strife, and wilfully misrepresented facts, in its zeal to emphasize the matter . . . there was an opportunity in this affair for constructive service, instead of wild-shooting press agitation in which the Advancement Association might have better served the cause of the Gold Star Mothers." Secretary of War Hurley attempts to condone his actions by stating that, "the War Department, of course, has no objection to the members of one group joining other groups, provided they are welcomed by the groups concerned." (To which President Hoover probably answered "Well done my good and faithful servant.") The War Department also sends out the report that the great steamship lines to Europe refused to transport the Negro Gold Star Mothers and that the hotels of New York also refused to accomodate them. Until we have been shown convincing proof, we will believe that the two statements, and many others, were merely faux pas by the Secretary of War, and condoned by his commander-in-chief! We take the position of the N. A. A. C. P. in denouncing the plan used in transportation of the Gold Star Mothers, and continue to vociferously denounce it; even though we may have made ourselves conspicuous by our absence. We believe we are equally as patriotic as anyone, but if the case should present itself again, many would rather be "slackers" and go to Leavenworth, than to pay the supreme sacrifice in defense of their country and then have their Mothers inflicted by our president! Will Rogers comes to the Chicago theatre talking screen next Friday in "So This Is London." Mr. Rogers, after completing his first talking production "They Had to See Paris," was so satisfied, that he was insistent upon another role in the talkies. The directors were not at all reluctant, in fact they had him spotted in "So This Is London" before he made his appeal for another part. Supporting Mr. Rogers in his latest vehicle is Irene Rich, Frank Albertson, and Maureen O'Sullivan, who appears in "Song o'My Heart." with John McCormack. --- --- PAGE FOUR ```markdown ``` Monroe Exterminating Co.

"It is not unusual for some car owners to drive as far as 400 and even 500 miles before "calling it a day," the bureau stated. "Smooth concrete highways have made these long mileages possible. "Gravel roads, likewise, have undergone considerable improvement. Most drivers this year who have made straight runs to Los Angeles, for instance, without stopping for sightseeing, have averaged 300 mile per day, thus making the trip in eight days from Chicago. Only one-third of the distance is paved; the remainder is gravel, and some dirt. Three years ago twelve to fourteen days, were considered necessary for this trip; the average mileage per day at that time ranged from 175 to 200." Y. W. C. A. OFFICIAL PRAISES CONFAB AT N. A. A. C.

A. during the recent twenty-first annual conference of the N. A. A. A. C. P. at Springfield, Mass., has written a hearty letter of commendation to the N. A. A. C. P. of its recent conference. After expressing the great pleasure she experienced in attending the meetings of the conference, Miss Corbett writes: "I know in convention plans that those on the inside know things which go wrong in the machinery which no one else is conscious of. I suppose this was true of the recent convention, but to an onlooker, everything moved off easily and in order. I think you and your organization are to be congratulated on the fine piece of educational work which was done. I am sorry that more white people of Springfield did not avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing the distinguished people who appeared on the program."

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.

Harry Colman, the "elastic kid" will present his "Darktown Poker Revue." "And you aint seen nothing yet," was the comment offered by George S. Young, popular manager of the Broadway, when interviewed concerning the coming attraction. He claimed, and you know we cannot doubt him, that the Saturday midnight show, featuring Bendinia Johnson, "the tapping queen," is the "rippingest", "roaringest" and "all around funniest" musical comedy revue to hit the Broadway in many moons. In addition to the stars, we will see Willie Mae McKenzie, a "nimble toe maid" in a few of her classical interpretations and Racehorse Williams, acclaimed as one of the fastest dancers on "anyone's circuit." In an effort to balance such a great stage show with a superb screen offering, the management has secured the "3 star" picture "Midnight Mystery' 'starring Betty Compson, as the talkie feature. And if you cannot get your money's worth out of this gala bill, all I can say is, "fold your arms, and rest yourself in a wooden box with all of the other dead people," for that you must be.

Jackson, Business Specialist of the United States Department of Commerce, was once an Editor on the staff of The Billboard; and his business tours enable him to continue his friendly contacts with show folk, thus keeping fresh his observations of the people he knows so well and whose vocation he loves. WHO are show folks? Where do they come from? And how do they live? How should one regard them socially? Are they "all right"? Those are typical questions that have been propounded to the writer many times by those who are merely curious; others inclined to be prudish; and still other people who have a subconscious mental reservation that in an attempt to prove the character of people of the theatre that the chance for an acquaintanceship with sporting and romantic possibilities will be forthcoming. Since the latter idea is prevalent, it is a pleasure to make whatever arrangements and co-ordinations of movements are needed to create the opportunity for this person to meet a number of selected people of the stage and platform and some musicians from the pit, or some people off of the front door, the mechanical side of the amusement world together with one or more from the allied occupations. There is a certain uncanny sort of devilish joy to be taken in witnessing the metamorphosis of the notions of a man who thought he was going to meet a group of sublimated Tenderloin characters only so painfully learn that he is being subjected to a careful scrutiny himself by active advocates of the higher life. One feels gleeful as he shows up the poor mental and moral stuff of which this type of mankind is made of through the machinations of those for whom he had previously held small esteem. Any theatrical Editor or Agent; in fact, anyone with an extensive acquaintanceship in the show world, is able to do that nasty-nice trick, by virtue of the fact that show people, like all people, differ in type. There are as many gradations among them as may be found in any classification based upon occupation, which, indeed, is no barometer to the inner characteristics of human beings. Some of our most brilliant barristers are atheists. Bank presidents have been found to be rakes. Society women with every favorable influence have been social derelicts; and hodcarriers have become leaders of men in high finance. So much for occupations as measures of men and women. To those who have regarded show people as a thing apart, let us pass the information that there are two hundred thousand people of all nationalities and nativities engaged in the 26 different phases of show life in the United States. Nearly twenty-five thousand of these are of our social group, speaking racially. There are about 14,000 musicians among us. Perhaps half of these are professional and the others semi-professional in that they earn part of their incomes at other vocations. Vaudeville, musical comedy, burlesque and the drama furnish the livelihood for about 3,500 people. These a e more or less interchangeable positions inasmuch as, for us, necessity precludes one always remaining in his or her preferred field of endeavor. Race restrictions compel our artists to show a certain degree of versatility. The motion picture lots and studios employ about six hundred persons. More than two-thirds of these are in California and down on Long Island, New York, doing "atmosphere" and "mob" stuff, or servant and savage characters with white picture concerns.

Miss McKinney, Clarence Muse, Stepin Fetchit, Dan Haynes, Farina and Noble Johnson are of this calibre. Colored cast picture companies, of which there are but three at present, average a continuous employment for less than a hundred persons. These three are the Micheaux Film Company of New York and Chicago; the Norman Film Company of Jacksonville, Fla., and the Colored Players Film Company of Philadelphia. These are what remain of more than twenty such enterprises that have come and gone since Hunter Haynes, known in Chicago as a razor strap manufacturer, went to New York and started the pioneer picture producing business that employed a colored cast. There are more than 250 concert artists, vocal and instrumental, perhaps half as many touring individuals and groups who play under auspices; that is, they play churches, lodge halls, school houses and such places, under the promotion of a local organization that sponsors the engagement and sells the tickets. A dozen more are somewhat promotional in character. They individually, or in groups of two and three, enter a town and train local talent for shows, pageants, celebrations and dramas. All of these are show people, and this latter group are the instrumentalities for the recruiting of much new talent to the previously named branches of the business. Then comes the outdoor world with its twenty odd minstrel shows, more than a hundred plantation shows with carnivals, a score of medicine shows, a dozen circus sideshow bands, a half hundred novelty acts and freaks. its animal trainers and caretakers, the several hundred decorators and concessioners, without whose sales no holiday, convention, anniversary or celebration would be complete. These, perhaps, total approximately two thousand more show folks. Motion picture scenario writers, laboratory employees, operators, photographers and a few other technicians account for a couple hundred more. There are more than a hundred very active show people engaged in the business anglesowners, managers, advance and press agents, general agents, promoters and billers. There are known to be more than a hundred colored bill posters in the country, some of whom carry Union cards. Then, to go back within the theater walls, we may take cognizance of the stage managers, electricians, property men, programmers, ushers, cashiers and ticket takers. These add eighteen hundred to the list of those to whom show business is a means of livelihood. Outdoors again, we are confronted with the promoters and directors of a hundred fairs and more than thirty parks and similar amusement Continued on Page Two A. ETHEL MOSES, beautiful daughter of Rev.

At that, each and all of the several thousand of these would resent in vigorous terms the implication that they are NOT show people. Now that the occupational divisions have been established, let us give attention to the social aspects of the amusement world. It is to the indoor elements that most interest attaches, hence they shall be given the principal consideration. Some illustrations will best indicate the ramifications of character revelations possible to those who survey the field. There are two big religious activities in show circles. One is the Actors' Church Alliance, a Protestant organization that numbers more than twenty thousand of the before mentioned two hundred thousand people in the show business. Many of these are people of the darker hues. The Catholic Actors' Guild, num- Whitens Skin 7 Shades in 7 Nights or Money Back A Nowyou can have that lovely, whiter complexion that everyone admires.

We wonder whether thirty people out of each hundred of all other wistful beauty of a typical girl. trades and professions are active members of a religious organization? members of a religious organization? Adhering strictly to our own, hereafter, may we ask: Do you know that an organization called the Deacons' Club of Prince Hall Masons with 37 branches called "Amen Corners" sustains contacts with a minister of the gospel, a doctor and an attorney in each of that many key towns for such traveling Masons as may be in show business and in need of professional advice and counsel while away from their home lodges? Do you know that the Masonic teachings are fabricated upon the Holy Bible? The connection is obvious. You may not know that the Grace Congregational Church of Harlem is the largest and most active, yet one of the youngest churches of that denomination in the United States, and you may not be aware that Rev. Alexander Garner numbers more than three hundred show people and their families on the membership MURRAYS PREMIUM HAIR REMOVER 191 FREE 20 GENTS USA register of that church. Several other churches have actor memberships of somewhat less numerical strength. Some concrete examples of the religious scruples of show folk are here submitted. Sarah Martin, the amiable blues singer, whose records may be found in many homes, so thoroughly hates what she regards as an irreverence that she absolutely refused to work on a program with the act of Hooten and Hooten who do a comedy turn based upon the rantings of an old-time ignorant minister, in which Mr. Hooten, made up to character, recities the alphabet—A, B, B, etc., in a sonorous and melodic imitation of the emotional preacher. Miss Martin sacrificed, not only a week's work at $200, but lost more time to have the agents alter her route to avoid this act for the season. Just to show the eternal similarity of mankind and how divergent people's views may be upon the subject of religion; it is a bit of irony to relate that Hooten and Hooten are both sustaining members of a big Baltimore Baptist Church. They own their home in that city and both are fraternally connected. He is a Mason and his wife is a member of the Order of Eastern Star. Hooten insists that his act does not reflect upon religion, but helps materially to crystallize public opinion against the mountebank who may be found preying upon our people in the name of religion. He is opposed to ignorance in the pulpit and is trying to have it laughed out of the holy places. Now, don't those show people differ with the same right to do so as all other people enjoy where their religious views are involved? It may interest you to recall that Noble Sissle is the son of a minister of the Methodist church, long stationed in Cleveland and Indianapolis, and that Noble himself has spent many Sundays in the choir loft of those and other churches. Rev. Moses, a New York Baptist divine, has two daughters in the chorus. Miss Boyd, the leading lady in a Norman Company picture but recently showed in colored theatres, is the daughter of Rev. Boyd of Nashville, head of the great Baptist Publishing house, and granddaughter of another eminent divine of the same name. Miss Pettiford, concert artist and character actress in a Micheaux film completed, was the daughter of a Michigan minister. Bessie Allison, acclaimed as one of America's five most beautiful women, was at that time with her sister in the chorus of "Chocolate Dandies"; had been in "Shuffle Along," and was once with a group of eight others in an otherwise white musical comedy on Broadway. She is a daughter of the late Charles Allison, for thirty years the treasurer of New York's largest colored congregation. Another sister was for ten years editor of "The Horizon," a feature in the Crisis magazine; a brother is a probation officer in New York City. All are graduates. Wells and Wells, acrobats, and man and wife, would rather cancel a date than miss church on Sunday. They know not the night life, nor will they tolerate promiscuous contacts in shows with which they travel. It would bring tears of joy to many if they could see, as has the writer, the bulging curtains that betold of the many boys and girls kneeling down before berths ere they retired on the crowded cars of the Silas Green show and other one-day stand organizations. Now, lest one be accused of making a one-sided picture, let it be known that we have also heard some awful brawls take place on these same cars, and have seen some terrible conduct take place in theatrical hotels. But the point we are making is, that the Whole must not be judged by any part of it. Characters are as assorted in show business as elsewhere. Miss Susie Sutton (Mrs. Tom Prown) resident of Chicago, and widow of the famed actor, inherited from her husband a library that would make any college president, editor or minister, violate the commandment not to covet. Jess B. Shipp, possesses another such collection of worth while books. He, like Tom, when Tom lived, is welcomed in cultural circles not open to many because they lack the liberal education that is the sesame to those portals. Paul Robeson, he of three professional distinctions, the law, athletics and the drama, is a Brunswick, N.J., minister's son. Monty Hawley, to get closer to home, is the son of the president of the Appomattox Club; A. W. Jackson, another Chicago boy, was reared in the Berean Baptist Church, whose minister, Rev. Bradden, christened him, and was educated in high school there. Both youngsters are welcomed in good homes, and worthy of it. McGinty and Freeman was a female comedy act filled with humorous comedy, yet it was the product of a pair of Nashville girls, one the daughter of a minister, and the other of an editor of a religious newspaper. But why go on? They come to the show business from all kinds of homes, have the same assortment of tastes as do other human beings; rear families, or neglect them as do others; are careless, or thrifty; are generous, or selfish. In fact, show people are human, and each must be measured by his own merits. Off stage, some waste their time in frivolities, others do many of the worth while things of life. Some make local friends in one town after another, while others care not for casual acquaintances; some are educating children or other relatives, while some are neglecting even mothers. There are those whom I have known to send the weekly allowance to a needing parent when they themselves knew not what they were going to eat for the coming week. A very high proportion among the amusement people are buying homes somewhere, many of them inclining towards farms as does Mr. Frye of Moss and Fyre. Every big colored sub-division, such as Jamaica, L.I., Nepperhan Heights, near Yonkers, and their replicas in other cities, contain beautiful homes owned by performers and musicians. Some own city co-operative apartments, homes, and yet others have attractive winter or summer resort homes as befits leisure periods. So, you see you can meet 'em, greet 'em, and perhaps either love or hate 'em, just as you do the rest of humanity. Show folks are jus' folks, after all. DIETING MAKING BUSINESS GIRLS CRANKY One reason why so many business girls and women develop a case of "nerves" before closing time is because the fad for reducing has taken hold of them when they know little or nothing about the dangers of wrong dieting. Dieting is a good thing for many, provided it is undertaken under a skilled physician or dietitian, or after lengthy study of foods and their value. Hit and miss dieting, however, is a dangerous practice. The elimination of needed energy foods—sugars and starches—is regarded by many as one of the reasons for these tattered tempers possessed by girls and women in business. The head of a large employment agency said, "My theory is that excessive dieting weakens a girl's resistance to the petty trials and annoyances that are inseparable from business. She's too prone to fly off the handle or to break down and weep if anyone finds the slightest fault with her work." A quick energy food is often needed before lunch or late in the afternoon, particularly if the business girl is attempting to deprive herself of need- ed food. A little candy when energy runs low can overcome or prevent fatigue—so the stenographer with her chocolate bar or bag of peanut brittle is after all much wiser than the one with her chew of gum.

Feeling that any further tarryin takes the thirty-five dollars she has Virginia. Verna Nash, remarkably beautiful daughter of an indigent, shiftless family living in Billy Goat Lane, Norrisburg, is eager to amount to something in life. Her mother wants her to marry Dick Colvin, an ungainly, uncoath, but honest laborer. Verna refuses. When Dick, enraged by her constant refusals, attempts to kiss her by force one evening on their way back from a moving picture show, he is knocked down by Donald Baxter, a gambler and night life broker from the neighboring city of Kalesburg. Irresistibly drawn to Verna, Donald lavishes attentions upon her but she is unbelievably careful. Finally he persuades her to go to Kalesburg with him to take a job as entertainer in his cabaret. Dick Colvin seeks to prevent her going but is unsuccessful. Having arrived in Kalesburg, Donald takes her to room at the mysterious House of Mrs. Quail, a very suspicious-looking woman. Suddenly afterward, Verna finds the door of her room locked from the outside. Alarmed, she escapes through a rear window by means of a rope made of sheets. After many adventures, she finally reaches a quiet little church in another part of town. Finding the door open, she goes in and sits on a bench to rest. She wakes up late in the afternoon and on her way out of the place she meets the handsome young minister, Rev. Hugh Godfrey, to whom she tells her story. He befriends her and falls immediately in love with her. He wants to marry her but his mother objects. Still, he proposes to Verna one night, but she does not want to be a minister's wife and, moreover, is looking primarily for fame and success, not love and marriage. Then she receives a letter informing her that Dick Colvin is coming to Kalesburg. She decides to leave the city both because of the abysmal lack of opportunity and because of the attentions of Hugh and the prospective coming of Dick. Returning home one night a week later, she runs into Donald Baxter, proposing to another girl in the hallway of her rooming place. She exposes him in the presence of the girl and he threatens vengeance Feeling that any further tarrying in Kalesburg will be fruitless, she takes the thirty-five dollars she has saved and takes a train for West Virginia. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY THE NARROW ESCEPE It was a vastly different country in which Verna found herself the next afternoon. On all sides were steep hills, green with foliage of bushes and trees, with here and there settlements of miners' houses perched on the sides. It was an area of twisting valleys and gullies, with turbulent little streams rushing this way and that, tortuous roads that tried the skill of the best automobile drivers and very occasionally a level place scooped out of the sides of the hills. The skies were clear and blue most of the time and the air was pure and invigorating. The people, white and colored, mostly coal miners, were breezy and hospitable, and she noticed a camaraderie and understanding tolerance between the races that was very pleasing. She felt that she would like this country. For five dollars a week she got a room in the home of Mrs. Allen, a school teacher, and after a few days she was fortunate enough to obtain a job as waitress in a colored restaurant. This was new work for her, but Verna was a versatile girl. She was always neat and clean, polite and charming to all, and because of her beauty the little eating place soon drew twice as many customers as it had ever boasted. Verna received so many tips from the worshipful miners that she confidently looked forward to the time when she could leave and go to the great city of New York. Verna Attracts Again Then came Dr. Charlie Meyers. He was a dentist with offices not far from the restaurant. Ever since Verna had taken the job as waitress, he had been eating in the place twice a day, flattering her, making violent love to her, but she treated him the same as the others. Her attitude puzzled him. All through his college years he had been known as a lady killer. Tall, graceful and suave, with strong features and a resonant voice, he had always had his way with the girls whenever he had cared to. Verna, he supposed, would be no different. "Listen, Sweet," he said one day when she had been working at the restaurant for almost a month, "why don't you give me a 'break'?" "Meaning what, Doctor Meyers?" she fenced. "Now don't upstage me, brownskin. You know what I mean," he persisted. "No, I don't," she flibbed, cleaning the counter and smiling roguishly. "Come now, Verna, let's be friends." "Aren't we?" Verna asked mischievously. "Well, of course, but that's not the --- CHAPTER SIX way I mean. I'd like to have you to go out with me sometime. For instance, how about a little ride this afternoon?" Verna hesitated for a minute. She did not want to offend Dr. Meyers. He was a good customer and a very likable chap, but she had no desire to indulge in any of the roman c "You Know "You Know What I Mean," He Persisted “Listen Sweet,” he said one day, “why don't you give me a break?” pastimes, and she knew that that was what is invariably expected in automobile rides. Friends had told her of the speed with which Dr. Meyers worked. And yet, although she had been in Welch almost a month, she had seen none of the surrounding country or any of the little settlements far up the gullies and cuts of which she heard all of the customers speak. It would be nice to go driving around in Dr. Meyers's long, low coupe. After all. --- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—July 19. 1930 she knew enough now to hold men at their distance. "Well," he spoke again, "you're not afraid are you? Do you think I'll eat you?" "Who said anything about being afraid?" she came back, arching her long narrow eye-brows. "Come back at two-thirty and I'll show you whether I'm afraid or not." "Bully for you, kid!" he boomed, enthusiastically. "I'll be back here with bells on and show you every nook and cranny of McDowell County." "Just Like All Men" He was as good as his word, and shortly after the time stated, they were speeding in and out the winding valleys. He was a good driver and the dangers of the tortuous roads made the trip quite thrilling. They passed town after town nestling around coal breakers. Several times they stopped at certain points to enjoy an unusually good view, and Verna was rather surprised that Dr. Meyers made none of the usual overtures she had expected and had determined to repulse. He would look at her steadily and covetuously, but that was all. Nevertheless, there was something in his grey eyes that told her the rumors about him were not exaggerated. Towards sunset he stopped the car “Listen Sweet,” he said one day, “why don't you give me a break?” near the top of a high hill from which the surrounding country was visible for miles around. As the cool evening air bathed their faces, he turned suddenly in his seat, deftly put one arm around Verna's delicately curved neck and kissed her firmly and at length. "Don't do that!" she almost shouted, when she was able to speak. "I don't like that sort of thing at all, Dr. Meyers. I thought you'd be dif- --- "Humph!" he exclaimed, with a grin, "did you think I could resist your charms, my dear? And after all, I haven't hurt you. If you knew how crazy I am about you, you wouldn't begrudge me a little kiss." "It seems to me, Doctor," she replied haughtily, "that embraces ought to be mutual affairs. That is to say, they should be desired and sought by both parties. You are a nice fellow and all of that sort of thing, but I don't care to swap kisses for no reason other than to be doing it. I think that sort of thing cheapens a girl—makes her common." "I'm sorry," he returned, soberly, "but you looked so beautiful that I just couldn't resist the temptation. . . Why don't you get married, Verna? You are so young and beautiful. You would make an ideal wife." "Oh. Yes?" "You sure would," he emphasized. "I'c marry you myself if you would have me." Verna lowered her eyes in confusion. There it was again. Every man that saw her wanted to marry her, but neither Dick Colvin, Donald Baxter nor Hugh Godrfey had been as desirable as Charlie Meyers. He was well-educated, handsome, quite wealthy and had a rapidly growing practice. He Persisted Wants to Live Her Own Life "I'm afraid I couldn't do that, Doctor," she replied. "I've got plans for my future. I intend to have everything I want in this life and I intend to make it all myself. I'm not going to be the pretty, useless doll of any man, even a fine man like you." "You talk just like a man," he commented, derisively. --- 3 "Well, why shouldn't I?" she challenged. "Haven't I as much right as a man to make my own way?" "What's the use of bothering to make your own way when I can give you my name and protection and everything you want?" he asked, placing one hand gently on hers. "Would you want to be dependent on someone else?" she inquired earnestly. "Of course not. I'm capable of making my living," he said proudly. "Well, I feel the same way. When I've done the things I set out to do, it'll be time enough for me to be thinking about matrimony." "You evidently believe in woman's rights," he sneered. "That's correct. I believe a woman can accomplish as much as a man, given the training and opportunity. What's more, I think it is her duty to do so; to make a name for herself, before she goes getting tied up in marriage. I want to be something in my own right." The dentist did not reply, but sighed heavily and started the car. As they drove along he studied Verna's profile out of the corner of his eye. He thought her the most beautiful and charming creature he had ever seen, but he wondered what had put such "foolish" notions into her head. Careers, he felt, were all right for ugly women, but not for goddesses. Dr. Meyers availed himself of every opportunity to be in Verna's company, and as often as they were alone together, he proposed. She grew weary of telling him that she did not want to marry, and began to with there was some way she could escape his pestering. He was very thoughtful and considerate, but he was also too much addicted to petting, and Verna emphatically did not like the mauling type of man. Hence, with considerable relief, she learned one day that the superintendent of a large coal operation in a nearby valley was looking for a combination cook and housemaid. She took the bus up there immediately and was soon telling Mrs. Yancey, the superintendent's wife, how much she knew about the sort of work they wanted done. Verna Meets Margot Yancey "But you're so young, child," objected the kindly old lady. "I'm wondering whether you will do. We pay very well the work acting and . . ." "Suppose I try it until the end of the week," Verna interrupted, "and then if I don't make good, I'll not want any pay." Mrs. Yancey was impressed. Evidently, she thought to herself, this girl is anxious to get ahead, and since she is so confident, she is probably competent. So Verna got the job and bade Welch goodbye. And she made good from the start. It was something of a relief to get away from the town, the crowds of admirers that flocked to the restaurant, and particularly the attentions of Dr. Meyers. He tried to persuade her not to go but she wouldn't listen to him; not even when he offered her a job in his office as attendant. She realized what that might lead to. When Verna had been with the Yanceys about six months, their daughter, Margot Yancey, who was an artist in New York City, came to visit her parents. She was a tall, stately blonde of great beauty, who kept her hair bobbed very closely, wore clinging gowns that accentuated her statuesque form, affected an English drawl and smoked long Russian cigarettes which she held nonchalantly between perfectly manicured fingers. "My word!" she exclaimed, when she first saw Verna. "Where did you get that positively stunning colored girl? Apparently, she is physically Continued on Page Five Wooed by My Brother-in-Law HER HUSBAND'S BROTHER FELL IN LOVE WITH HER, THEN. FOR God's sake Harriet," Phil hissed under his breath as we stood alone in the dark upper hallway, "don't tell me you do not love me. I can't stand it, you hear, I can't stand it!" 1 4 He held me by the wrist, his body close to mine while his snapping black eyes bored me through and through. I winced from the pain of his strong grip, yet the touch of his steely fingers seemed to fill me with some strange, surging urge. "How can you ask such a thing?" I countered, averting my gaze from his. "How can you keep on annoying me this way when you know I am your brother's wife? What would he say if he knew? Why, Phil, I believe he would kill you and me, too." "Oh, no he wouldn't," he sneered, extending his powerful right arm with the fist clenched, "not as long as I have two of these." "Don't you see, Phil," I pleaded, "that we can't go on this way. We must stop it. You must let me alone." His lip curled disdainfully but there was a light of boyish glee in his big, laughing eyes. He leaned against the banister and eyed me with frank amusement. Suddenly he jerked together his six feet of tall brownness and, grasping my other wrist, bent over and planted a kiss squarely on my lips. Then relinquishing his hold on both wrists, turned without a word and ran rapidly downstairs. He was not a moment too soon, for I heard John come into the house and slam the door just a few seconds later. I dragged myself to my bedroom and sank down wearily on the bed. I was weak from the strain, the ordeal of fighting off the affections of the ardent Philip. John Started It It all started when, a year before, John and I were married. I wanted John and myself to take a house of our own but he wouldn't hear of it. Wasn't any use, he said, when there were only three others in his family and they had a big house close to his place of business. We could all live there and not be at all crowded or uncomfortable. He had been so good and so gallant that, although I had always wanted a home of my own. I gave in to his wishes. Everything was as John had predicted, with the exception of his younger brother, Philip. My father-in-law and mother-in-law were loveable old people who were more of a help than a hinderance to me, but Philip disturbed me from the first. Not that he was not the soul of politeness and chivalry. On the contrary, he was all that a brother-in-law should be. Strong and Brown The trouble was that Philip was too handsome, approached too near my ideal of a man. He was so different from his brother, John, that the contrast was startling. John was 35, rather plump, not good looking, stodgy, commonplace, unable to dance or sing, a bookworm and a man thoroughly absorbed in his business. Philip had the features of a young god, was a clean, slender, brown giant, gifted with great conversational powers, a sharp wit, a rich baritone voice, loved social life, and was an adorable dancer. He was always dressed in the height of fashion and seemed to have been poured into his clothes. John, on the other hand, always looked as if he were dressed in someone's cast-off clothing, even though he had just paid fifty dollars for the suit he happened to be wearing. Husband Stodzy I had not been overwhelmingly in love with John when I married him, but was I to be a fool and for that reason turn down an opportunity to marry a man who cleared $7,000 a year in the radio business? I respected him, admired his talent and was loyal to him, but I did not feel toward him that depth of throbbing, permeating affection that I had always felt I must experience to be really in love. John had been so good to me that I wanted to be to him everything a wife should be. That was all. Then, I had seen Philip and was drawn to him by some strange force, something compelling in the haughty majesty of his demeanor—in the glowing radiance of his heavy-lidded ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—July 19. 1930 "I stealthily pulled the tablecloth down till it hid me." eyes, the caress of his resonant voice, the touch of his warm, smooth brown, well-manicured fingers. With all my power, I fought his silent influence while he never for a moment revealed in any way that "I stealthily his feelings toward me were other than those of a brother-in-law. Naturally I was doubly watchful that I reveal in no way my secret feelings. I was loyal to my husband, felt grateful to him for his manifold kindnesses and courtesies and would rather have cut off my right arm than offend him in any way or give him cause for the slightest suspicion. Husband Out Late Then John began to be busier, making and installing sets. His work kept him out at all hours. Sometimes he would have to stay in nearby towns overnight. It was business, of course, and necessary, but it left me alone a great deal. John, being thirty-five, cared little for socializing, but realized that since I was ten years his junior, I liked to go visiting, dancing, motoring and card playing. Finally he suggested that I go around with his brother, Philip, when he was too busy to escort me. My heart sank when he proposed it, and yet that feeling was counteracted by one of guilty pleasure. I didn't want this to happen, yet I wanted it to happen. Some hidden imp of perversity whispered to me that I should test my will power, so --- And so the round of pleasure had begun. We had gone out two or three evenings a week for over a month to dances, parties, socials and theatres. Sometimes I shuddered with a sudden spasm of fear as we swept across the dance floor at the Dreamland Palace or sat in the semi-darkness of the Tudor Theatre, my eyes on the moving picture, but my mind pulled the tablecloth down till a perfect whirl of suppression and desire. Phil Avows Love Slowly, inevitably, Philip, who was 30 and thus nobody's fool, had began to show evidence that he was aware of my comeliness. One evening as we were boating on the lake in Roosevelt Park he had spoken out with throbbing intensity, leaning forward on his oars and gazing earnestly into my face. "Harriet," he had said, "I can't help it, I hate to say it, I know it is a damnably dirty thing, but I must tell you that you are the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. Honest! Those big eyes, that shiny black hair and your smooth brown skin Oh, Harriet, I must tell you that I love you, have been loving you ever since that first night when I waltzed with you to the 'Blue Danube.' I know it's wrong, but-I just can't help it." Must Sacrifice Something It had been a week since that outburst. At the time I really felt like confessing to him my secret feelings, but my loyalty to John and my duty as his wife restrained me. I realized that I must sacrifice something. All of us must sacrifice something. None of us can have everything. We must take life as it is; its ups as well as its downs. None of us can have everything. I disturbed my reverie, rose from the bed and stood gazing out of the wide open window, across the house-tops into the gathering twilight. I must do something, I thought to myself, as I pressed my nails into the palms of my hands in the intensity it hid me." of reaction to the incident in the upper hall. I must end this, but how? "Hello, Harriet!" John greeted me from the door, entered and embraced me. "How's the dear, little wife tonight?" I laughed, kissed him and said the expected things, but my mind was elsewhere. "What's the matter, little one?" he asked with concern, doubtless noting my preoccupation. "Why don't you and Phil go out somewhere tonight? No use sitting up here in the house." He beamed paternally upon me as he spoke. "I've got to work late tonight." It was all I could do to make some sort of reply, because the very mention of Phil from John's lips almost paralyzed me. I hastily remarked that I didn't want to go out, but he pooh-poohed me down, and at the dinner table he asked Phil to take me somewhere so I wouldn't be k red! Dancing with Phil His brother consented gravely and then glanced mischievously across the table at me. As he did so I could feel again with thrilling distinctness the fervent, illicit kiss that Week-End True Story he had bestowed upon me in the upper hall an hour before. I felt that I couldn't go on with the situation any longer. Caught between the two horns of a dilenima, my position was growing hourly more intolerable and untenable. I felt that I should feign sickness, faint, do anything rather than trust myself again alone with Philip DeVous. And then there came the tempting, devilish inner voice again, urging me to taste of the joy of his company just one more evening. And so, at nine-thirty we went out together. I was shaking with suppressed excitement. I knew that I had done wrong by going out again with him. Why hadn't I refused outright? Why hadn't I gone to John and told him everything? Why had I been foolish enough to place myself in a position where I might yield to temptation? But then, it would be the last time. No more, never! And yet as this resolution flashed through my mind, I knew full well that even if I did keep it, I would regret it. "Harriet," said Phil, hoarsely, his strong emotion making his voice vibrate a trifle, as we lazed around the hall in a slow waltz under dimmed, vari-colored lights, "we can't go on this way. I love you, Harriet. You must go away with me, you hear? We must not cheat our love." "Oh, don't!" I groaned. "Stop it! This must stop before we get into trouble. You are taking advantage of me: you know I won't tell John about you, so you try to take advantage of my chivalry." "It isn't so," he flashed back. "I'll go and tell him myself, fight him for you and then take you away. You belong with me, Harriet. We are affinities. You won't confess it, but I can see in your eyes that you love me." I looked down guiltily. Then he had noticed! A Forbidden Cabaret John always liked to have me home by midnight and when it got to be that hour I suggested to Philip that we go. I was getting rather uneasy anyhow, because he had been sitting, staring fixedly into space for about ten minutes. "No, we can't go back now," he said, placing his hand insinuatingly on my knec. I drew back hastily and felt a strange sinking of the heart. He continued: "Let's go over to the Club Argonne for a little while." "Oh, I can't go there, Phil," I remonstrated, "John says it has a bad reputation and, besides, it's past my time to be out." "I don't care anything about John," he hissed, leaning over me. "I want you to go, and you're going. You know you want to go, so why not go? You know you'd rather be with me than with John. Why don't you be truthful to yourself, Harriet, and fair to me?" he pleaded. "Because," I said quietly, "John doesn't want me to go." But Phil wrangled and wrangled until finally I consented. Joyously he paid our check, got our wraps, and soon we were speeding down to the Club Argonne. Fifteen minutes later we were seated around a little round table in a long, low-ceilinged, smoke-filled room, crowded with Negroes, the odor of strong drink and the din from a jazz band. Phil ordered cocktails and practically forced me to drink one. After that it was easy to drink a second. We danced two or three times.

I never heard of such business down in Georgia. Her First Real Encouragement Two or three days later, Verna was in the dining room setting the table and singing at her work as usual. She was crooning softly but her astonishingly beautiful soprano voice seemed to fill the room with the atmosphere of spring and flowers. Suddenly the door opened and Margot Yancey came in with a look of puzzled enthusiasm on her face. "Was that you singing, Verna?" she asked with ill-concealed excitement. "Why, yes," Verna replied, wondering what was up. "Well, you have a splendid voice," gushed Margot. "You're just wasting your time here, my child. You'd ought to come to New York and have that voice cultivated, my dear. It's just wonderful; just wonderful!" "Do you think I could make a living singing?" Verna inquired timidly, as a vision of a brighter future opened up before her. "Don't be silly, Verna. You have an exceptional voice," Margot assured her. "You can make a fortune with it if you go about it the right way. Have you ever thought about going to New York?" "Yes, Ma'am," said Verna, "I've always dreamed about it, thinking possibly I could do well there if I got Wooed by My Brother-in-Law Wooed by My Brother-in-Law Continued from Page Four smoke-filled air and the inadequate ventilation must have affected me badly, because I grew dizzy and everything swan before my eyes. I fought to retain consciousness and as I fought, I could see as through a haze the leering smile of Philip DeVous. Suddenly I felt a strong feeling of anger welling up within me. This must be a trick of Phil's! I was sure of it when he suggested that I go up to one of the parlors and lie down until I felt better. How could I know whether it was safe or not? "No, no!" I protested. "Take me home, Phil." His only answer was a broad, insinuating, rather calculating smirk. The orchestra started again, the lights dimmed, couples sought the floor and rocked and shuffled to the syncopated tunes. Waiters, trays balanced aloft, scampered about, while over all, like an ancient high priest superintending an orgy, the orchestra leader snapped his baton and grinned indulgently. Raid and Run Then a crash! Somebody breaking in! Waiters scurry out the back way. Some one yells "Police!" My heart seems to stop beating for a minute as crash follows crash. The front door gives way. The blue-coated host pours in. Patrons and entertainers are running in all directions. Police are shouting orders. Clubs rise and fall. Curse follows curse. I slump down with fright behind our table! I looked around for Phil, but he was gone! Then I noticed an altercation near a side window far down near the rear of the place. Phil had deserted me, and, trying to save himself, had run into the arms of a policeman. The officer yanked him by the collar, Phil lashed out with his fist and caught him on the point of the jaw. The officer fell. Others closed around Phil, clubbed him and dragged him out the front door along with other patrons. Weak from the whole experience, and yet aware of the terrible predicament in which I would be if the officers found me, I stealthily pulled the table cloth down until it hid me completely from anyone who might look into the booth. Then I waited. Back Home The place was soon empty, the patrons and employees taken to the station house, and the front door locked. No one had seen me. The cabaret was in darkness, but remembering the lay of the place, I walked Continued on Page Seven "Well, now you're more sensible than most folks and much smarter than I thought you were. If you ever do come to New York, come right to my studio at this address (she handed Verna a card from her handbag) and I'll look out for you. Understand?" "Yes, Miss Margot." Verna was overjoyed, although she tried to conceal it as much as possible. Here at last was an opportunity and she already had over one hundred dollars saved. She was in such good spirits that when Dr. Meyers drove up to the house that evening and asked for her, she did not have the heart to turn him away. "So you've found me at last, eh?" she commented, smiling wryly. "Yes, I have," he remarked soberly, "and I hope I won't lose you again. Why didn't you tell me where you were going? You came out here and buried yourself. What's the idea?" "Well, Doc, I wanted to be away from everything. You ought to understand that, after what I told you about my ambitions, but, of course, you won't." "Maybe not," he conceded, "but what I am particularly anxious for you to do is to let me take you to the big Elks' ball tonight in Welch. It's going to be a swell affair and I know you'll enjoy yourself. I would have asked you before, but I just found out today where you were—the boy who works next door told me." "I'll go, Doc," said Verna, "if you'll promise me there'll be no mauling. As long as you just treat me as a good pal everything is all right." "I promise to be good, Beautiful," he grinned. "I'll wait out here until you get ready." An hour and a half later Dr. Meyers and Verna entered the large auditorium where the dance was being held. Already the place was well filled. They checked their wraps and as the orchestra was playing a hot dance number they went right to the floor. On the second circuit of the hall, someone gripped Verna by the arm and restrained her. She turned to DANIEL L. HATNES says, "The close-up reveals even the slightest blemish. A movie star must keep his skin healthy, light and smooth.

He looked very natty in r well-fitting dinner suit, better, in fact, than she had ever imagined seeing him. "Verna, Honey," he almost shouted, "I'm sure glad to see you." "How do you do, Dick," she replied very coolly. She had not forgotten his antics. "You're looking well. How are the folks at home?" "Oh, they're all right," he said, "but can I have this next dance? I've got a whole lot to say to you." "There isn't anything for you to say to me, Dick. I've heard it all before." "Don't you think you'd better go ahead?" queried the angry Dr. Meyers. "The lady doesn't want your game." He pushed Dick aside and started to lead Verna away. With a curse and a lunge, Dick crashed his great, hard, hamlike fist into the Doctor's face and he fell with a dull thud. Immediately, the hall was in an uproar. Around the two a crowd had gathered. Dr. Meyers was soon up on his feet and giving a good account of himself. Verna stood aside, shocked, disgusted and mortified. When she could do so unobserved, she ran over to the check room, got her wrap and slipped out into the cool night. As she waited for the late bus to come by to take her back to her service place, she thought again for the first time in a long while of the charm Grandma Nash had given her. She reached into her bosom and felt of its smooth surface and knew that again she was being warned of impending danger. She must get away. After this evening she could not remain. She thought of the dull anger in Dick Colvin's eyes and she shuddered. He was the kind that would kill, and she wanted nothing to do with him. It would probably be best to go away. She thought of New York City and what Margot Yancey had promised, and resolved to go there. (To be Continued Next Week) Does Margot Yancey prove to be a sincere friend to Verna?

THE SIMMONS MURDER CASE By BROWNING STREAT In an effort to add a bit of spice to our vacations at the Virginia resort, Eagle Rest, former Detective Hubert Holcomb has led Ralph Miles, a newspaper man, and myself, deep into the third of his major experiences with arch criminals—the Simmons Murder Case. Briefly, as the first part of his narration ran, Montgomery and Raymond Simmons are two successful young colored business men of Chicago. Both are bachelors and their own house on the Boulevard is frequently the scene of lavish social functions, attended only by those young people whose family names occupy the very foremost positions in the social registers. The engagement of the younger brother, Raymond, to Patricia Stanton, who resides with a wealthy aunt, is announced, and there follows a series of these affairs, the last one of which is about to be held at the Simmons residence on this night. In the meantime, Monty, the older brother, gets in touch with the police department on a pressing matter, and Hubert Holcomb arrives at the house much earlier than the regular guests. It seems that Raymbond had been philandering with another woman, presumably below his station, who has Almost simultaneously, he was out neously, he was out and scrambling down the fire escape. ```markdown ``` Almost simultaneously. he was out and scrambling down the fire escape.

Holcomb is shown a packet of letters, which Monty has stolen out of Raymond's rooms. The postmarks show that they have been mailed from within the city and over a period of three months; threatening missives, ten of them, printed in pencil and signed —Lillian Pope. The latest one, received only this morning, reads: "I have pleaded with you. I have cried. I have begged. Tonight I'm going to make you pay." "And he chooses to ignore it!" Monty tells Holcomb. "Nor will he impart her address." Unexpectedly, Raymond enters. Monty hides the letters and invites him to be seated. Subsequently he learns of Holcomb's mission and becomes angry. After scoring his brother for intruding into his personal affairs, he turns to Holcomb. "I must ask you to leave, sir," he says. "I resent this. The real——" He never finished it. The lights went out.

An hour later Detectives Holcomb and Wade, coming from opposite directions, met at the grilled gate in front of the Simmons home. Each face was drawn in a scowl, brown scowls that look black. "Wade!" Hulcomb whispered fiercely, "whoever shot young Simmons is still in the block! Do you hear? Escape in the open would have been physically impossible! Neighbors swear that no cars of any kind have left the block—We've got to watch! Quick! pass that around, then come in!" Wade rushed away.

Holcomb twisted it out of his hand and bore him down, pleading. "Leave that to us," he whispered. "She can't get away. . . She'll pay—" Monty shook violently and pounded his fists upon the steps. Holcomb raced on up. At a door upstairs he halted. Something, something deep in him was disturbed. A group of women were in there working over the still form of a fainted woman. It was Patricia Stantan. Holcomb clenched his fists and dashed toward the library. The doctor had already arrived. As the detective entered he got to his feet and nodded grimly: "Dead," he announced doggedly; "shot straight through the heart . . . Ghastly!" He went to see about the woman. Holcomb just stood there. A half hour later, Wade came. The body had been removed. Holcomb met him downstairs and brought him up to the library. Seated in the huge Morris chairs, they be- gan to talk. Holcomb's large fingers were moving nervously—a habit. They were moving along the edge of the arm rest . . . now they were tugging at something. . . A great detonation suddenly shook the room. It was deafening! A gun had spat from the direction of the window. Holcomb had jumped to his feet and poured hot lead through it. Now, both men sprang in that direction.

A moment later they had torn into it and discovered—great Scott!—a gun. It was incredible. They stood there in amazement. Here was a tiny resolver, its muzzle so arranged as to it snugly into a little hole at the pointed end of the cone—a sham speaker.

"Wilkins," was his crisp query, "did your employers often quarrel?" "Well—of late, yes, sir." "About letters?" "I-I understood, in fact, we all did, sir, that Mr. Raymond had invested in some real estate. Mr. Monty objected." "Real!" Holcomb was thinking. "Real . . . estate. Real—that's what he was going to say when the bullet hit him! He thought we were talking about real estate!" The door opened. It was Monty Simmons. He glanced at the battered radio and turned grey. Holcomb sprang forward toward him. Monty jumped back into the hall in a crazy panic, slamming the door after him. The butler shrieked. Holcomb grasped the knob and cursed. It was locked! He struck for the window. As he did so, women out in the hall screamed. Down the fire escape, around the house and then through the front entrance. At the top of the stairs he encountered a group of excited women. "Monty!" they cried. "Monty!—he's gone mad! He'll kill Patricia. he'll kill her!" Holcomb's body went hurling against the closed door. It didn't budge. Wade rushed up breathlessly and took a hand, talking in gasps. . . "A time clock down there! . . The lights went out automatically! . . The wires outside must have been snipped AFTER the shot!" . . Again and again they hurled themselves at the door. Inside, Patricia Stantan suddenly screamed. Two women on the stairs fainted. Monty Simmons's voice suddenly reached their ears, deep-throated, gutteral. "I killed him!" it said. "I'd do it again! She was mine! Heart, soul, and body! . . . until he came back from college! I killed him! I wrote the letters! I'd do it again! She was MINE!" Somebody brought up an ax. Now the door was giving way. . . a gun spat. . . And they found Monty Simmons on the floor, dead, with the woman he loved in a faint on the floor beside him. Hubert Holcomb's narration of the Simmons murder case had ended. Bewildered, we sat there staring through the darkness.

Soon I gained the street, fortunately hailed a taxicab right away, and in twenty minutes was home. At first I had a crazy notion to go down to the station and try to help Phil, but then, I thought, why should I? He had completely deserted me and left me to my own devices. He ha' been interested only in getting away himself. His boasted chivalry he had demonstrated to be a fake. Now that he was gone, his power over me seemed to wane. I shuddered as I thought of what might have happened if there had been no raid. I firmly believe that Phil intended to carry me away with him, and John never would have believed that I was not the guilty one. Now it was different and I breathed a heavy sigh of relief as I let myself into the house and climbed slowly, wearily to my room. I awoke John and told him what had happened.

In three more months now, he will be out. We are still at the family residence. Of course, Phil will come back there. He will have nowhere else to go. Will he continue to woo Write today.

Will I be able to maintain attitude of cold politeness to mask my feelings? Can I again trust myself in his presence? I dare not mention these things to any of my friends or relatives. It would be suicide to broach the subject to John, because he is furiously jealous of everyone but his brother. My husband sees no reason for moving elsewhere and I can offer him none. So, I don't know what to do. Each day I know that the time of Phil's release grows nearer. Soon he will be looking again into my eyes. What will happen then?
