by fmd Mustard HELLO, EVERBODY! Comes the time for the second installment of that sensational detective novel, "The Black And Blue Moider Case." written by that old master, S. S. Io Dine. If you are easily scared, do not read this tale of blood except in the presence of others. CHAPTER 11. When Reginald Du Pont Funkhouser mounted his trusty steed and galloped off in all directions, he little thought that he would get less than ten miles to the bale of hay from his horse. But night fell (although it didn't hurt itself) and it found our hero stranded on a lonely country road. "What, ho!" shouted Reggie to a figure approaching in the dark. "Mud hole, I think," replied the figure, peering intently. But Reggie was not in the mood for tommoolery. Darkness had turned his mare into a night-mare and that had meant additional trouble. "Enough of this," he curtly said. "I am on my way to commit a molder for the lily-white virtue, if any, of my true-love, Prue." Reggie felt the other's eyes boring him. He turned quickly aside and, except for two small holes through his outer clothing and in his B. V. D.'s, escaped uninjured. They were the sharpest eyes he had ever felt. "I hope you will not be disappointed," the stranger said. "Your language is disgusting," Reggie stated. "Don't you know better than to say 'disappoint' with a double s'?"

Of course, we're not trying to run his business, but if we were Mr. Hoover, we'd appoint a commission to keep track of the commissions already appointed. If Hoover would appoint only the jobless on his commissions, the unemployment situation would be solved. If the boys keep on embarrassing Mr. Hoover as did the Wickersham committee, the Haitian bunch and the Farm Relief group, we suggest that the president appoint two commissions to take care of the facts—one to dig 'em up and another to hush 'em up.

NOSUCHPLACE, SOUTH AFRICA—(Special) — Republican Prosperity, mascot of the republican party in the presidential campaign of 1928, which escaped, so members of that party say, because President Hoover used to be a democrat, was sighted today going rapidly southward in a northerly direction. Efforts to get within calling distance of it were futile. There is a big reward offered for its return to the campaign of 1932. Observations By Earl J.

NEGRO STUDES TO ATTEND AT FROEBEL HIGH Wirt Says No Change In Present Policy Of School Board Negro high school students, after the erection of Roosevelt school, may still go to Froebel and Emerson and those living north of the Pennsylvania tracks will be expected to attend Froebel unless they express a wish to do otherwise. So stated Public School Supt. William A. Wirt when interviewed Thursday morning in his offices in the Emmerson school building. He also justified the stand taken by school board and asserted that he had received no formal notice from south side residents that the building now under process of erection was distasteful. Froebel "Melting Pot" There has been no change in the policy of the school board, according to Superintendent Wirt. "It is planned to keep Froebel high a sort of melting pot." he asserted, "and there will be no change in the present policy. However, those north of the Pennsylvania tracks will not be sent to the new school, unless they especially request it, nor will those south of the Pennsylvania tracks be sent to the other schools, unless they make that request." Mr. Wirt also pointed out that there would be studies at both Froebel and Emmerson, which might not be obtained at Roosevelt, and vice versa, which would further assure Negro attendance at other schools. No Petitions Received Incidentally, he stated that no petitions had as yet been presented to him. He said also that the situation "should not be bothered with too much by those who do not know the school board stand." "This new building is being constructed with funds laid aside for the erection of a similar center in Glen Park," he stated. "Although it is more urgent that students in that section of Gary have facilities which will not necessitate their journeying several miles, members of the school board thought it advisable to rush work on the 25th street institution because of the trouble encountered in the school strike here several years ago." Hold Meeting A meeting was held at Mt. Zion Baptist church Tuesday night as a protest to the group of ministers who planned to present a petition opposing the Roosevelt school to Superintendent Wirt. Those who spoke were Dr. R. M. Hedrick, Charles L. James, William A. Lorden, the Rev. C. W. Nelons, and others. PRISONERS CLAIM DOCTORS AT JAIL QUITE INEFFICIENT Medical attention at the city jail was condemned as grossly inefficient Thursday before Special Judge Moise by two prisoners incarcerated there. As a result, Bailliff Walter Hamilton was told to get in touch with Inspector Woods so that conditions might be investigated. W. F. Anderson, charged with murder, stated through his attorney George Michaely, that jail authorities refused to provide treatment for a deep raor gash in his hand and that as a result he had suffered unnecessarily. Mary Thomas told the court that a badly infected thumb had received no treatment from prison physicians during the two weeks of her confinement there. Bailiff Hamilton said that he was not permitted to enter the cells and inspect the prisoners, and thus he had no means of determining their personal welfare. HOLD PETITION OF LEGION TILL NEXT MEET OF COUNCIL A petition, drawn up and signed by Calumet post of the American Legion, which was to have been presented in city council meeting Monday night, will not be presented until the next meeting which will be on August 18, it was learned today. This decision was reached when it was learned that Mayor R. O. Johnson would not be at last Monday night's meeting. in this petition, the south side post is attempting to learn just why Mayor Johnson permitted Memorial post to sponsor a carnival after denying that privilege to the Calumet group on the grounds that the bais were down on all carnivals.

A revolver roared in a beer flat at 1812 Washington street near ten o'clock Thursday night and Tony Pisescki, 229 Polk street, staggered to the street, a bullet through his stomach, and begged a passerby to rush him to the nearest hospital. Twelve hours later he died without naming his assailants, although he admitted to police he knew who they were. Four hours after the shooting, a wounded Negro with a bloody face hailed a cab from the alley between Washington and Adams in the 18th block and rode to 1616 Madison street. Police are trying to connect the two occurrences and claim that Pisescki was killed in warfare over liquor rights on the south side. Two Negroes and a Caucasian carried him to San Antonio hospital but all three left without giving their names. How Dairy Dairy Com How Dairy Company Produces Pure Milk By Rudolph Jonson An institution that plays as prominent a part in the health of the community as does the Dixie Dairy company is an institution that is deserving of especially manifested interest in its scope of activities and the many processes necessary to produce its various items of merchandise to the public. With such a thought in mind, a visit was made to the office of the Dixie Dairy company and an interview was secured with Mr. E. T. Eskilson, the manager, who courteously conducted the writer on a tour of the plant, showing every operation that is gone through from the time the milk arrives from the farm in its raw state, until it is loaded on the wagons and trucks ready for distribution.

EDWARDS GETS RADIO POSITION For the first time in the state of Indiana, a Negro is to be connected with the commercial department of a radio broadcasting station. That man is George W. Edward, entertainer over WJKS, who signed a contract Thursday with the Rev. Alexander Alamsha, commercial manager of the station and pastor of the radio chapel. The local station is also planning to inaugurate another new feature, a Negro business period in which south side merchants will be on the air together with talent from the district. A meeting for the purpose of organizing the merchants was held Tuesday night at 1801 Broadway and another is scheduled for Sunday afternoon at Stewart house. Mr. Edward is in charge of this new project and says that he expects to be ready to place the south side on the air in a short time.

This is the starting point of the milk on its process of purification and deliverance to many thousands of satisfied customers daily.

Two more are under suspension with the possibility of being dismissed. They are: McKinley Bacoyn, lawyer and plainclothes officer, who will be placed in uniform. Samuel Smith, plainclothes officer also to be placed in uniform. John Bolden, former detective sergeant dismissed Jan. 23, reinstated as detective.

Van Johnson, patrolman who had an altercation with a Gary post-office employee at 21st and Broadway on July 21, suspended. Bacoyn is at present on a temporary leave of absence from the police force. He has been engaged in special research work. Bolden has been termed the "ace" of the department and one of the best detectives in the country. He was responsible for the arrest and conviction of Ulysses Mack, hatchet slayer, and the apprehension of Louis Hood, alleged companion of Mack. He has also solved many murder mysteries here within a short time after they happened. BEER-FLAT RAIDED; WOMAN FINED $260 When a police squad, consisting of officers Williams, Coleman, Fields and Smith, raided the house at 1955 Massachusetts Saturday night they discovered a veritable "saloon," attesting to the fact that the country is not as dry as the prohibition amendment would have it. Mrs. Ida Brown, housekeeper at that address, was arrested and placed in jail, charged with violation of the state liquor law, maintaining a liquor nuisance, and manufacturing intoxicating liquors. After a minute search of the premises police found 16 quarts of home-brew, 28 pints of home-brew and one pint of moonshine. In addition, complete equipment for the manufacture of home brew was also confiscated. In justice of peace court Mrs. Brown was found guilty on the two charges of violation of the state liquor law and maintaining a liquor nuisance. She was fined $130 and 30 days on each count, with the jail sentence suspended on payment of the fine on the charge of manufacturing intoxicants she was found not guilty.

EXECUTIVE JOB HANDED EDITOR BY STATE CABS $250,000 Business Gets Townsend On Public Relations Staff Proving that ability counts and that the color of a man's skin matters little, announcement was made here today of the appointment of a Gary colored man to an executive position in a $250,000 business concern. The concern is the State Cab company, operators of a fleet of fifty-five cabs in Gary as well as of an equal number in South Bend and Fort Wayne, and the person receiving the position on the company's executive staff is Chauncey Townsend, 25-year-old editor of The Gary American. Townsend, a newspaper man of many years experience, has been gien the job of counsel in public relations, according to Dr. H. Binzer, vice-president and general manager of the State Cab company. He will be associated with the public relations and publicity department of the cab company, Dr. Binzer stated. With fifteen colored men already in the employ of the State Cab company, the appointment of The American editor will make the taxi cab concern one of the largest employers of Negroes in Gary. Colored men are already working for the company as mechanics, repair men, auto washers, filling station attendants, checkers and in other capacities.

Begins Pasturization After the tests are made the raw product is pumped through a cooling system, which reduces the temperature to 38 degrees, and then into large glass-lined storage tanks. These two tanks alone have a maximum capacity of 3,000 gallons, and are used to hold the milk at an even temperature preparatory to pumping it to the pasturization machine. This machine, with a capacity of 100 gallons, heats the milk to a temperature of 144 degrees, killing all bacteria, and pumps it through a clarifying cylinder by which all the sediment is removed. After the removing of the sediment the heated milk is distribu- (Continued on Page 2) OFFICERS MAKE FEEBLE EFFORT TO QUELL MOB Youths Hanged At Jail by Mob For Slaying During Holdup (Special Wire To The American.) Marion, Ind—The slimy octopus of race hatred, whose foul tentacles have crushed out the lives of a dozen American citizens in the south this year, raised its diabolical head in Grant county, Indiana, Thursday night and took a toll of two before its craving for Negro blood could be temporarily satisfied. At least 10,000 people were in the mob which shouted and moved about the swinging bodies of the dying men like demons in a drunken orgy. A third escaped the fate of his comrades only because he was overlooked by the lynchers in their hurry to accomplish their deed. Officers "Overpowered" The standard excuse of Mississippi sheriffs was the one used by Sheriff Jake Campbell to explain the failure of him and his deputies to protect the lives of their prisoners. They claimed that they were "overpowered." Equally as far-fetched was the alibi of Police Chief Louis Linmuth who rushed to the jail with a squad of men on a hurry-up call by Sheriff Campbell. He claimed that his men "could not penetrate the lines formed by the mob." Killer-Bandits Thomas Shipp, 18, and Abe Smith 19, both Marion residents, were the victims. Herbert Cameron, 20, is the one who escaped with his life. They had been arrested earlier in the day in connection with the hold-up an dslaying of Claude Deeter 23, white, and the attempted rape of Mary Ball, his 19-year-old fiance, on a state highway shortly after dark Wednesday night. Thursday morning police officials searched for the killers, paying no attention to excitement among the citizens. They went to the home of Shipp whom they suspected of being a highwayman. He was arrested when they found a car answering the description of the one the girl said was used by the bandits. Taken to headquarters, he confessed and implicated Smith and Cameron who were promptly arrested. Repel First Rush When news of the arrests spread, residents of the county began pouring in and they set up cries for the lives of the three. At 9:30 that night the first rush on the county jail was made. The sheriff and his three deputies repulsed the mob with tear bombs, then telephoned Chief Linmuth for aid. At 10:30 the second rush was made. When the sheriff found that the crowd could not be dispersed with drawn guns, he and his men holstered their weapons without a shot being fired. The crowd then rushed in and, taking the keys from the turnkey, entered the prison cells and dragged the terrified youths to the courtyard square where Shipp was hanged from a jail window and Smith from a tree. Gov. Leslie Hesitates A call for troops was sent to Governor Leslie by Sheriff Campbell. The governor, however, hesitated about placing Marion under martial law as the state militia was in its annual summer training at Camp Knox, Ky. Five squads of police from Indianapolis and deputies from neighboring towns were reported rushing here to keep down any further racial strife. 130-YEAR-OLD WOMAN DIES Monroe, La.—Mrs. Clarisse Williams, said to be 130 years old, and the oldest person in north Louisiana, if not in the entire state, died Friday at Bosco. She was born in the State of Virginia in 1800, according to members of her family. Louisville.—Green Percy Hughes, 49, former president of the Domestic Life Insurance Company of this city, committed suicide Sunday night by cutting his throat. DISPUTED PARK CLOSED BUT IS OPENED AGAIN Negro Committee Appears At Woods' Office But Polish Stay Away An attempt to reach an agreement in the Washington park situation came to naught last Friday night when Polish citizens, under the leadership of Frank Spychalski, attorney, failed to meet with a committee of Negroes headed by Lawyer McKinley Bacoyn at Inspector Ralph Woods' offices in the city hall. That night and the following day, Saturday, the park was closed. It has been re-opened, however, and has been in use by members of both races since then. There are two views of the situation on the south side. The Central District Progressive club claims that the matter has been settled, while the N. A. A. C. P. claims that no agreement has yet been reached. The general opinion is to the effect that conditions are still critical. There is still ill-concealed resentment on the part of many Polish inhabitants of the neighborhood toward Negro use of the park. Told To Continue Some ministers are advising their congregations to "stand their ground". Two men were arrested last Monday in the park charged with carrying concealed weapons. Their cases were continued when they came up in city court. Rumors from many sources that steel mill foremen are telling their Negro workers not to go to Washington park under fear of dismissal have not so far been thoroughly substantiated. RESISTS OFFICER ON "MOON" HUNT; DRAWS $150 Fine Mrs. Mattie Thomas, 2110 Massachusetts, forcibly attempted to prevent officers from searching her premises last Monday, although they were possessors of a search warrant. Her efforts were in vain. The officers entered, found evidence of liquor violations, and took Mrs. Thomas to the police station and booked her on three charges: violation of the state liquor law, maintaining a liquor nuisance and resisting a police officer. Justice of Peace Burrus, deciding Mrs. Thomas guilty, commanded her to pay $130 fine for violation of the liquor law, $20 for resisting the officer and then dismissed her on the other charge. She paid $20, but was remanded to jail for 130 days, or until someone on the "outside" brought in the required fine. Two Women Injured As They Seek To Cross Street. Two women and a white man are in local hospitals today as the result of automobile accidents on the south side after dark Thursday night. Mrs. Agnes Suggs, 2333 Massachusetts street, is one of the injured women. She was struck while crossing Broadway at 23rd avenue by a motorcycle driven by Harry Griffin, 729 West 39th avenue. She suffered severe bruises and cuts about the body while the driver sustained a broken upper jaw and the knocking out of all his upper teeth. Both were taken to San Antonio hospital. Shortly afterward, Mrs. Anne Meadows, 2473 Washington street, was knocked down by a Ford truck Madison street, as she attempted to cross Broadway at 20th. Her injuries were a fractured left rib and cuts about the face and body. She was taken to Mercy hospital. Sarantas is being held by police pending the outcome of her condition.

INSURES PURITY OF THEIR MILK Takes Pains To See That Only The Best Of Milk (Continued from Page 1) ted between seven pasturization tanks, each containing more than 100 gallons, where it is kept at 144 degrees for 30 minutes. Then it is cooled to 38 degrees by being forced through a network of ammonia treated pipes. The milk is then ready for bottling. Bottles Thoroughly Sterilized The process of sterilization is quite elaborate; more than 30 minutes being required before each bottle completely traverses through the mechanically operated sterilizer. This machine is extremely complicated, but the perfectness of its work justifies the $10,000 which was expended for it. As the soiled bottles are brought in from the wagons they are placed on automatic conveyors leading to the sterilization machine. One man at the end of the machine, called the "feeder", places the bottles on a shelf, in rows of eight each, which is moved into the machine proper. This is done with every eight bottles as each shelf moves up to the "feeder". When the wooden cases are empty, they are "fed" through a different machine and thoroughly sterilized. When the soiled bottles enter the sterilization machine they follow a course that requires thirty minutes before emerging from the other side of the machine. The first process is a hot alkali-bath in which they remain 15 minutes; the second process is two outside-brushings and rinsings; while the third process is four hydrolic sprays on the inside of the bottles as they are supported on spool-like revolving brushes. The final rinsing is then accomplished and the bottles come out of the sterilization machine onto a conveyor, to be carried to the filling and capping machine. Not Touched By Hands As the sterilized bottles leave the cleansing machine they are ready to be filled. The reservoir on the filling and capping machine has by this time been filled with the pasturized milk which has been cooled to 38 degrees. The bottles pass through the machine and are filled and capped with day-caps, that insures freshness. Beginning with the first operation of the "feeder" at the front of the sterilization machine and up to this process the bottles have not been touched by hand. They are now passed into the icebox, waiting for delivery to customers the next morning. Have The American Sent To You On Your Vacation. 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.

Lork's Confectionery Ice Cream, Fruits Candy and Cold Drinks 2500 Adams Street C. LORK, Prop. SPOUSES CLAIM NEGRO HUBBIES HID THEIR RACE Maryland Youth Faces A Pen TermDivorce Granted Pa.Girl Hagerstown, M. D.—"Love may be blind blt not color-blind," is the opinion of Mary Cleary, 17-year old Harrisburg white girl who learned while on her honeymoon that Charles A. Boe, 24 and her husband, had a few drops of Negro blood in his veins. As a result, Boe faces a pen term under Maryland laws which prohibit the two races from inter-marrying. In Harrisburg, Boe, who is fair and pink as most white men, met the Cleary girl and a romance developed from the start. They attended parties and dances together and when the affair became so serious they decided to marry, they came here and secured a license on July 14. When they returned home all went well for awhile until someone gave the bride's mother the information that her son-in-law was of Negro extraction. On inquiry he told her that his father had colored blood in his veins and that his mother was a white woman, but that he had never mentioned it to anyone as it was nobody's business but his. The mother then swore out a warrant and had him arrested. The penalty is a pen term of from 18 months to 10 years. A similar case happened in Philadelphia when Beatrice Ingram, 22 and white, sought a divorce from Harry White after a married life of only two weeks on the ground that her husband was a Negro. The decree was granted upon White's admission that he had concealed his racial identity. Read The American. LATEST STYLES Fits any head size 21 popular colors. Greatest sales item of the season.

TEXAN KILLED BY WHITE DRY AGENT IN RAID ON HOME TEXARKANA, Tex. — Highhanded tactics of federal prohibition agents combined with southern colorphobia stalked to the front again Wednesday when Herbert Richardson was shot and killed by Agent Ernest G. Wells, white on his farm near here. This federal officer alleged self-defense. Wills said he saw Richardson quarrelling with Jack E. Harrington, another agent, and intervened. He claimed that Richardson dropped behind another Negro and then pointed the gun directly at the agent. After aiming first at the citizen's gun, Wells said, he then shot to kill. Bee Cowen of Beaumont, deputy prohibition administrator, exhibited a loaded pistol which he said had been taken from Richardson's body. Bystanders claim that the shooting was wanton, however, and that Richardson was ruthlessly slain when he objected to the officers searching the premises without a warrant.

Brooks, Jr., the third Negro to enter West Point on a De Priest appointment, was dropped from the military academy less than one week after he arrived there, it was learned Wednesday. After studying five months in each of two colleges Brooks entered on an educational certificate, requiring no entrance examination in his studies. He entered July 1, was sent to the hospital the following day, and July 6 was dismissed for a bad heart and high blood pressure after three examinations. His departure leaves both West Point and Annapolis without a Negro, although De Priest, following one of his chief campaign pledges to "stick to it" until Negroes went to both academies, has sent three to West Point and six to the naval academy.

Benjamin Banneker, a free Negro, made the first clock in America. President Thomas Jefferson appointed Banneker on the commission that surveyed and laid the city of Washington, D. C. Banneker used to lie flat of his back and study the stars with his naked eye. He became so familiar with the activities of the cosmic elements that he could predict weather conditions. For years he made a living informing farmers concerning the weather and giving them information as to when to plant their crops. Banneker was the first Negro to publish an almanac that was used extensively throughout the New Republic. There are only 20 percent of the American Negroes with pure African Blood. The American Negro is an amalgam infused with the bloods of other races, to the extent that there is very little or no African blood. - M. T. Herschovit's "The American Negro.

Two weeks ago an enthusiastic meeting was held in Gary when a temporary organization was affected with Justice of the Peace Burris as temporary chairman and Dr. D. A.

PAGE SIX SIX INJURED IN RACE CLASH AT NEW YORK JAIL Cops, Firemen Succeed In Quelling Riot Of Negroes, Whites NEW YORK CITY—Six persons were injured in a race roit between Negro and white prisoners in the prison workhouse at Welfare Island Tuesday night. It was subdued through the combined efforts of police and firemen two hours after it started. When the report was turned in, three emergency wagons equipped with tear gas bombs and submachine guns, and carrying 25 riot squad men, were sent to the island. Welfare island is in the center of the East river, opposite the busiest section of Manhattan. It can be approached only by a special ferry or by an elevator from the Queensborough bridge running overhead. The bridge is one of the principal links between Manhattan and Long Island and bears heavy automobile, pedestrian and subway traffic. Rush Launch To Scene A police launch, bearing two detectives and four uniformed patrolmen, all armed with heavy-duty rifles, was sent to the riot scene. Several other police launches were ordered to cruise around the island to prevent the possible escape of prisoners by water. Several squads of uniformed patrolmen were hurried to guard the approaches of Queensboro bridge, jammed with home-going throngs, and others were stationed at the bridge elevator entrance. 50 to 100 Involved Between 50 and 100 prisoners were involved in the disorder, which caused considerable excitement because of the fact that the island is located in the East river just opposite the busiest section of Manhattan, and is crossed by the Queensboro bridge, jammed with homegoers at the time the riot started. The riot, according to police headquarters reports, was centered in the workhouse yard, where firemen kept the prisoners at bay with fire hose until police reinforcements arrived. NEGRO MERCHANT LEAVES $100,000 TO PARK. SCHOOL NEGRO MERCHANT LEAVES $100,000 TO PARK. SCHOOL MAYS LANDING, N. J.—A bequest of $100,000 has been made to the city of Mays Landing by John Underhill, Negro storekeeper, it was revealed here Monday. Although Underhill died in October, the terms of his will were not made known until Monday. It provides that an estate amounting to $71,390, exclusive of real estate, shall be devoted to improvement of the town park and the purchase of equipment for the high school gymnasium. Underhill came here more than 25 years ago and for many years was the town's only Negro resident. He first became a barber and later opened a store near the high school.

KYLE Sheriff Lake County, Indiana Frank W. Dugan, Attorney for Plaintiff. COLONIAL BARBER SHOP 20 W.25th St. Good Service Pertinent aragraphs (By Rudolf Jonson) N. A. A. C. P. and the Klan The N. A. A. C. P., through their Los Angeles branch, has been placed in a very embarrassing position. Two weeks ago, Dr. H. Claude Hudson, president of the Los Angeles branch, publicly endorsed the candidacy of Governor C. C. Young, in his campaign for reelection. Last week the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, in their state convention in Santa Anna, also endorsed the candidacy of Governor Young. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People praised Governor Young's record and his "fine American spirit." They are now joined by the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan who praised Governor Young's "splendid American record." We would like to hear some of the "political spellbinders" of both organizations explain what has caused the "lion and the lamb to lie down together." Chicago Banks Fail News columns are filled this week anent the closings of Binga State bank and Bankers' State bank, both in Chicago, by state bank examiners last week. "Frozen" real estate assets have been accredited as the greatest contributing causes to the respective closings. Probably so, but we know of other causes. Ninety per cent of the depositors of the two banks are Negroes. Conservative estimates placed the number of unemployed Negroes in Chicago at 25,000. Some these have found it necessary to deplete their accounts, in order to secure the necessities of life. Instead of deposits, the banks have withstood thousands of withdrawals. On the other hand, the city of Chicago has been in a financial crisis. Thousands of employees have not been paid salaries. Others have been paid in "script," which, although, not being immediately negotiable, has been purchased by the various banks throughout the city. All of this has tended to deplete the cash in the vaults of the banks. And with the real estate situation as it is, there seemed to be no way for immediate liquidation. We believe that both of the banks are sound, because we believe in the integrity of the presidents and their board of directors. They will easily satisfy the auditors from the board of bank examiners. But their hardest jobs will be to satisfy the inevitable "run" that will be made on the banks when the doors are opened, and the subsequent rebuilding of public confidence. Moton Visits Hoover Dr. Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, chairman of Hoover's Haitian Educational Commission, and general "presidential advisor on things Aframerican," paid his first visit to the White House last week, since his return from Haiti. It is reported that he had a fifteen-minute conference with President Herbert Clarke Hoover, making an informal report on the commission's study of Haiti. We are of the opinion that a "formal" report could have been made by the "hymn singing" educator to the "south loving" executive in the allotted fifteen minutes, which would have completely covered study of the commission, in so much as the effect it will have on the advancement of the Negroes in these United States.

The story for the talking version of this drama is based on the book "Manslaughter," by Alice Duer Joy. Miss Colbert and Frederic March were asked to take the leads in this production because the respective roles called for highly emotional stars with many years of legitimate stage experience. About six years ago, a silent version of "Manslaughter" was brought to the silver screen. At that time Leatrice Joy had the central feminine role, while Thomas Meighan handled the male role. Now that talking pictures have become so popular, "Manslaughter" was remade so that the American theater-goers could really appreciate the fine dramatic points that are brought about in talking pictures.

The Yellow Rose, perhaps, can- not be blamed now for breaking numerous masculine hearts, and that is because many things have come to light which completely transcended human comprehension. For one thing, Mr. Godfrey dis- closes the fact that the Yellow Rose made fools of men without evil in- tent, and allowed men to see her and pay her attentions simply be- cause she was seeking her ideal, and he further states that for five years this popular Georgia beauty sought the one man who possessed suffi- eient originality to hold her love and to keep alive her interest. She had started out on this rain- bow trail when she was twenty, having then seen very little of the worki and comparatively nothing of men. She had dreamed dreams like all young women will, and made up her mind that she would never rest until she had found a man who would fulfill the requirements she had in mind. She was set on that, and couldn’t be convinced that no such man existed in the world, She wanted a man who would be rough and gentle at the same time, @ combination of cave man and dilettante. A man who could use nice language, take a drink, swear and pray, one after the other. He would, she said, have to treat her rough when she wanted to be treat- ed rough, and then he would have to be refined and gentle when she wanted him to be that way. However, she made it known that she didn’t want a man who would make it at all necessary for her to tell him when to slap her and when to take her in his arms. He would have to be intelligent enough to know when her peculiar moods changed. Therefore the Yellow Rose cannot reasonably be blamed for her esca- pades, and for doing things that the average girl would not even remote- ly contemplate. Of course, since the Yellow Rose was in quest of the original man, she was partial to a stranger. She would make a date with a@ man she had never seen be- fore mgfe readily than she wowd make a date with a man she had known all of her life. Some of the men she met were too kind to her, gnd never became “cave-mannish” enough. Others proved too crude, and they did not adopt gentle tactics at the proper time. And, on the whole, every man that Yellow Rose encountered, proved entirely unsatisfactory until she met Mathew Hallet, waiter at one of the fashionable restaurants of the town where she had taken up her permanent abode, in a small house at the edge of the city limits. Rose had some money in her own right, at least enough to enter busi- ness. But she wrote music as a pas- time, being somewhat skilled in this line, yet never composed a success- ful composition. However, she did not have to be worried over finan- cial matters, and she had, for a place of its kind, a comfortable house. In the backyard was a large well, its top made of stone, standing three feet above the ground. The depth of the well was startling, when one chanced to look into the darkness below when the sun was shining at a certain angle and caught a glimpse of the water Hne. Moreover, it was a very small well in diameter. But the water was always cold and refreshing. People said this well was one of the features of the place; and many paid visits to the home of the Yel- ia | a | rg ae | fe & = “4 CLAYTON CROSBY, the young as- sistant to the St. Louis detective who handled the tragic case. low Rose to be able to enjoy a drink of the water. Within a short time after Rose had moved into the house and re- paired the well, the well became a thing quite famous. Nobody ever visited the house without noticing this peculiar ‘well. That was where Rose met Mathew Hallet for the first time. He had been driving along tiie dusty oad in June, just as the sun was set- ting, and had spied the well from the road that twisted itself along like a dog’s hindleg; and without hesitation, he had parked his rig and gone around the house to the backyard, where he drew himself a fresh bucket of water and quenched his thirst, Then Rose cathe out of her bedroom, which faced the well, and said, “Hello.” “Just came here for a drink,” Hal- let explained. “I hope you don’t mind.” Rose shook her head. “Certainly not,” she expostulated. “There is more water there than I can ever use, and besides, I like to see people enjoy it.” She looked Hallet over carefully. Evidently she was pleased with what her eyes observed. The man was tall, well built and neat in his at- tire. He was not without a certain type of handsomeness, Of course it is doubtful whether Hallet was aware of the fact that he was being gazed. upon with in- ee How the Beautiful Yellow Rose Sought the Ideal Mate, But Found Instead Death at the Hands of the Man Who Almost Met Her Ideal Requirements.

If he had, he probably would have resorted to something unusual to prove to her that he was the very one she sought. He was apparently as much pleas- ed with what his eyes beheld as was Rose. But he stood quite mo- tionless for a moment, and no words issued from his lips. ~It was Rose = eS SM ei ee ie eS who continued the conversation, and they did not part that evening, until they had strucksup a better acquaintance. After a while — possibly two months—Hallet made up his mind that he wanted to enter some sort of business, and eventually decided upon a restaurant. He did not have the capital, but was sure that he could borrow it from Rose. However, when he broached the subject, she he ia ee ge eT eee liana promptly turned him down. “I won't give you a dime,” she Said vigorously. “Besides that, Mat, I wouldn’t have a man who had t¢ depend on a woman. I’ve got moh. ey. I always keep a small sum in the house. It wouldn't take me ten minutes to produce a thousand dol- lars, and there’s more where it is. But I won't give you a dime. If you don’t care enough for me not to want my money, you're simply not the man I’m looking for, and I've wasted a lot of valuable time.” When they had reached this point in their acquaintance, Mat proved conclusively that he was the origi- nal man, They had been carrying on a clandestine love affair, and Rose had manifested considerable love for Hallet. But when the lat- ter broached money to her, he de- gressed from the path of her ideal man. He made a mistake. Mistakes of that sort are easy to make, but they sometimes prove costly. When Hallet found that Rose did not aim to assist him in launching his new restaurant, he made more violent love to her, and she responded. They must have spent the big- gest part of the night together; at least the evidence pointed out that someone in the woman’s confidence had been with her, and the floor of her private room was littered with cigarette stubs. However, there was no way of tracing these, and when the woman's body was found in the well, on the bottom, with her Continued on Page Two . Treasure-Hunting For Antiques The interior of the room is elegantly decorated with a variety of framed artworks and mirrors. The walls are adorned with intricate patterns and textures, creating a sophisticated atmosphere. A large mirror hangs on the wall, reflecting the room's details.

Mrs. Alice Driggins in her treasure room. By JOHN W. DOUGLAS lecting SOME people think that dogs more than puttering are relics. They are very nice dealer gets the same thrill out hunter did in the days of old treasure hunters. since they 'a objects that are rare. SOME people think that dealing in antiques is nothing more than puttering around with dusty, worm-eaten relics. They are very much mistaken. An antique dealer gets the same thrill out of his work as the treasure hunter did in the days of old. In fact these dealers are treasure hunters. since they are constantly searching for objects that are rare. Consider Mrs. Alice Driggins, for example. She deals in antiques, and her life is full of incidents in which she has found treasure in the most out-of-the-way places. Once she heard that an old fashioned house in South Orange, New Jersey, was being torn down. Hurrying to this house, she began searching among the trash hoping to find something of value. The best that she could find was an old tripod, probably over two centuries old. Imagine her delight when she discovered that this tripod was worth fifty dollars. Fifty dollars found in a trash heap! The value of the article lay in the fact that it was an antique. There are people who spend an entire lifetime collecting ancient objects of historical value. Thus the quill pen that George Washington used in writing his famous diary would be worth more than its weight in gold today. This three-legged article that Mrs. Driggins found, was made in the early days of New Jersey history, and because of its rarity she was able to sell it for a good price.

Some one had brought an old print to her shop and she bought it for a small sum. When one of her customers came in, Mrs. Driggins put the print on display. In examining it, the customer let the picture drop and it came out of the frame. When they picked it up it was discovered that another picture had been placed behind the first one, probably to hold it in place. This second picture was a genuine work of art. Its value was several hundred dollars. Rivaling this incident is the case in which Mrs. Driggins secured an apparently worthless antiquated card table for seventy-five cents and sold it for three hundred dollars. What influenced Mrs. Driggins to deal in antiques? She is a married woman and her husband is well able to provide for their needs. It all grew out of her ambition to own a home; not just a few rooms, but a large well furnished home. With this in mind, she began col- Found Dead at The Castle of Crime Continued from Page One hands bound securely behind her, her mouth gagged and a pistol bullet in her left breast, the authorities realized that they faced a baffling situation. On top of the well was a rock that weighed a ton, which could not be easily removed. The heavy rock was what attracted the attention of the authorities, and an immediate investigation was pursued. It was a week later before Hallet was arrested, but he was released for lack of evidence. He died a few years later in an insane asylum. But he never confessed his crime. It remained for Godfrey to bring in positive evidence of his guilt a few weeks ago. There were so many men in the woman's life that no proof could be found to fasten the guilt on any one particular individual. They all went free, the case establishing itself as one of those unsolved mysteries which time alone can solve. Godfrey cleared it up by producing the lost pistol that Hallet had used, which he discovered in a tree, securely fastened with a heavy wire around a thick limb. That is how Hallet ditched his gun after committing the crime. The pistol was identified by old neighbors of Hallet as belonging to the deceased colored man. Clayton Crosby aided Godfrey in ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—August 9.1930 lecting pieces of furniture that caught her fancy. She did not confine herself to the gaudy modern stuff, but collected some of that fine old furniture that our grandparents used to have. In this way she came across her first antique. She sold it and used the money to buy more. "My scheme was to keep those articles which I liked and sell the others," she said. "With the money realized from the sale, I would buy more furniture, keeping that which I liked and selling the rest. Before I realized it, I was a full-fledged antique dealer, and I have been one ever since." However, she has not abandoned the plans for her home. In her little shop at No. 6 South Orange Avenue, South Orange, New Jersey, she has stored a remarkable collection of household furnishings. Here one may see that famous old Sheffield plate, so prized by the Victorians, quaint old chinaware that once graced the home of some by-gone social leader, and a wonderful collection of vases and pitchers that still retain their luster, in spite of age. When Mrs. Driggins's home becomes a reality it will be a show place for all to admire. In the meanwhile, she is still treasure hunting. GOOD NIGHT Busy Plumber—"Take the message I'll get it from you later." "Your little girl wants to kiss you over the phone." explained the steno. his investigation, and it was primarily this young man who climbed the tree and found the pistol. The wire was rusted and would have fallen to pieces in a short time. The only thing about the mystery that the St. Louis detective failed to clear up was, how Hallet, singlehanded, managed to convey the heavy rock to the well, and to arrange it over the top. This could have been done. Godfrey explained, by Hallet having the rock loaded on a hay rack sometime beforehand on his mother's small farm. There were many rocks like that there, and he might have arranged it with one of the impoverished hands who preferred to keep his mouth closed firmly during the investigation years ago—and this hand might have helped Hallet unload the rock. Of course that is only a theory, for it is not known for sure how the escaped culprit managed the crime. The above story is as Grayson Godfrey explained it, and he built it up painstakingly from the past evidence that he was able to unearth. When Godfrey discovered that Hallet, three years after the murder, had entered business and that he had been possessed of considerable money, he was able to prove his contention that Hallet was the culprit. Hallet had kept the money he took from Rose the night of the crime, for three years before spending any part of it. Buried Alive for Five Days By PERCY B. PRIOR ON the not sands of India, in the full white glare of the sun is a crowd, that has gathered, this summer noon, to watch an annual rite and ceremony maintained by the ruler of the native state to which the land belongs. Once a year, at this place, on a day chosen by astrologers as auspicious. a holy ascetic performs a perilous, inexplicable act of austerity and self-discipline. He allows himself to be buried alive for five days in the burning river sand. And he survives! The ascetic himself is a lean, grave unsmiling man supported on the crook of a stick beneath his armpits. His hands are pinned, palms together against his chest as if in adoration and his eyes look out unseeing and unmoving at the crowd. At his side is a bowl of milk, and in front of him the hole, some five feet deep, in which he is presently to lie. His hair is greased and matted. His only garment is the merest loin-cloth and his body is smeared with ashes. He takes a few sips of milk, until he falls into a deep, motionless contemplation. He begins now the deep breathing that is the most approved of all methods of the art of self-mastery Even quite ordinary Indians, with no pretensions of holiness or true asceticism, are able often to achieve a respiratory control, and through it, a control over heart and circulation that, to the European, is almost astounding. They practice this control morning after morning for years, combining it with religious meditation on some chosen sacred subject. They claim in this manner to achieve physically a more robust health, and a greater mental concentration. The professed ascetic only carries the practice further by more consistent effort and without distraction. His control over respiration and circulation becomes surer; the pauses of his heart-beat longer and more certainly controlled. By the late afternoon our ascetic's breathing has become almost inceptible. He lets himself slide slowly down upon the sand, outstretched like a corpse; his body stiffens and his muscles become rigid. He is allowed to lie in this position another hour or two, until the approach of sunset. At length two priests approach him, feel his pulse and heart, and watch his lips. His heart no longer beats, and his breathing has ceased. He is lifted gently up and placed in the open grave. The sand is then trampled down over his body. the head and mouth being left to the end.

When Pain Comes What many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been over-stimulated, and food sours. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. It has remained the standard with physicians in the 50 years since its invention. One spoonful of this harmless, tasteless alkali, in water will neutralize instantly many times as much acid, and LEAD US TO 'EM GENUINE PHILLIPS MILK OF MAGNESIA For Troubles due to Acid INDIGESTION ACID STOMACH HEARTBURN HEADACHE GASES·NAUSEA small cloth is placed upon his lips, and, finally the head is also buried. A guard of four men, who must never leave it, is placed upon the grave, while many of the crowd, are always present. There is not the faintest possibility of trickery, nor would it be tried where all are earnest, believers. The ascetic lies here buried for four full days, and on the afternoon of the fifth, as he had instructed at the fixed hour, the grave is opened. The body lies exactly as it was placed within, untouched by corruption. But the dangerous process of awakening now begins. The body is gently lifted, and slow rubbing and massage are resorted to, the chest, throat, and diaphragm being handled with special care. The return of circulation is painful, and must not be too much hastened. At last the lips begin to move, the eyes open, and the man is once more alive. He is weak, weak in the extreme; he needs nourishment and care, but he lives! They sat on the piano bench. "Play with both hands," she suggested. And her mother wondered why the music stopped altogether. - Sun Dodger. Summer COLDS Quick Relief from any Cold. Sore Throat, Headache or Other Pain DON'T treat a "slight cold" lightly!

This is an exclusive Illustrated Feature Section feature provideo for your entertainment. Look forward each week to "Baffling Murders." THE COLLINS MURDER CASE THE COLLINS MURDER CASE By BROWNING STREAT BEGIN READING HERE: Hubert Holcomb, former crack member of the Chicago Police Department, has greatly impressed Ralph Miles and myself with his vivid yarns anent his experiences with the more crafty type of criminals. Indeed, it is for this reason that our vacations at the Virginia resort, Eagle Rest, where we three men met and formed this "crime analyst trio," will probably live long in our memories. The Carlisle, the Mitchell, and the Simmons murder cases—we had had them all; and now, on this fourth night, Holcomb began to unravel the Collins murder case, the first part of which, for your information, follows: During a severe rainstorm over the Lake Michigan region, a night watchman in one of the warehouses along Chicago's water front, hears shooting on one of the ships anchored out in the water and telephones headquarters. Detectives Wade and Holcomb are detailed to investigate and subsequently reach the ship, which turns out to be the palatial yacht Bettie B, owned by Harvey Collins, well-known banker and curio collector. Ricks, the captain, receives them aboard and hastily conducts them to his employer's stateroom. Mr. Collins is stretched out on the bed with a dagger in his heart—dead. The Captain Appears Nervous "But Miss Smithson," he gasped, A man in a suit and tie is talking to a police officer, who is wearing a uniform. The man is standing in the center of the image, while the police officer is standing to the right of him. The woman is standing to the left of the man. They are all facing the camera, and the background is a dark, indistinct area with a circular light source. "But Miss Smithson," he gasped, "surely you don't think I did this." CHAPTER TWO Captain Ricks's plump, dark face had suddenly gone pale. His beady black eyes had met the impudent ones of the woman with a bulging, startled glare. Now, with the detective moving nearer, he fairly trembled. "But, Miss Smithson!" he gasped; "surely you don't think I did !" "That's not the question, Ricks," she replied calmly. Only if you're going to give information, I think you ought to give it completely." And with that she turned and walked out of the room. The captain whirled around and faced the officers. "I swear t'God, men!" he cried, "I didn't kill Collins!" "Who said you did?" Holcomb murmured tersely. "No one. Now, please calm yourself, Ricks. From cabin boy up, I want every man and woman aboard in Mr. Collins's office inside of twenty minutes. Until then, please excuse yourself." Ricks turned and stumbled out of the room. The detectives began an investigation, Wade passing through the bath toward the office beyond, while Holcomb turned his attention to the corpse, his finely chiseled features reflecting every now and then, the slightest hint of reluctance. With two careful fingers, he rched down and grasped the dagger, jerking the dripping blade out of the man's left breast. No manufacturer's mark there. He turned to the fist that clutched the end f the sheet, an began prying the stiff fingers apart. They gave one by with the elasticity of heavy vire; and as the end of the sheet fell back to the inert body, Holcomb's eyes --- can be spent in following clever well with plenty of suspense.

He says Collins planned it in order to break up his son's friendship with a certain Chicago actress, the young fellow being kidnapped and smuggled aboard just before they sailed. An enthusiastic curio collector Mr. Collins had bought a crudely made crown, in Cape Town, Africa. Ricks advances the theory that it was stolen from one of the inland tribes, giving as his reason the fact that they had later discovered a poisoned dagger imbedded in the side of the wheel house. Ricks further stated that the dagger had been thrown overboard. Following another possible clue, Ricks mentions that Mr. Collins and Mr. Nelson, his lawyer, recently had engaged in a heated argument. Ricks is suddenly interrupted by the entrance into the room of a female member of the party, who admits that she has been eavesdropping and sarcastically suggests that Ricks tell the detectives about the time he came aboard drunk in Monrovia and was rudely disrespectful to his employer. She goes further. She insists that he tell them about the awful scene he made the day before when Mr. Collins informed him that his services would be needed no longer after they reached Chicago. NOW FINISH THE STORY. "surely you don't think I did this." suddenly narrowed. Qui he ripped it off and hurried toward the bathroom door.— Holcomb had almost reached Wade's side when a peculiar giggle sounded within the room he had just left. H. swung around. Wade had rushed toward him. Again that hollow g.ggle! Amazed, they headed into the death room. They stopped, paralyzed. She was standing there by the outside door gazing gleefully at the corpse—wringing her hands—giggling! Had they lost their minds? Was this an optical illusion? No! Her black eyes were like two round balls of fire as she flashed them a glance and then laughed outright—a very dark young woman, her feet and full round legs bare, a heavy man's overcoat wrapped around her, long undressed hair falling back over her shoulders—a beautiful black woman with flashing white teeth and satiny skin! "Who are you?" Holcomb rushed forward and cried. She parted her lips and stared up BILIOUS?

Fiery god help her fin beeg hole,"—she indicated the pothole over Collins's bed. "See Fishface hide my people's crown. See moch. But Loanda no keel. She only want her people's crown." She moved like a cat. She rushed past them to the wall, brushed a picture to the floor, and thrust her arm in the square hole. Suddenly her lips began to move rapidly. Again and again, she thrust her hand into the hole. The crown was gone! "Wade," Holcomb said.

There is not the slightest question about this: and. just as this is true, it is also true that your handwriting —the little letters that you put to- if mud! gether in forming words—in pen and ink or pencil—tell the story of just what you are good for. Your writing is different from that of all your friends. This is true be- cause it is a picture of you, and the qualities that you have with which.to make a success in life are different from the qualities that your friends have. I remember a long time ago when I. was a small boy. a neighbor of ours said it was a fortunate thing that people did not all think alike, because if they did, they would have all fallen in love with his wife. I did not like that lady particularly and | Was very glad that we were not all alike. It is true, though, that your nat- ural talents are different from those of your associates, and, unless you find the one thing for which you are best qualified. you are certain to go through the world dissatisfied and discontented. On the other hand, you are quali- fied naturaily to do one thing and do it well, and your handwriting tells the story of what you can do. Here, for instance, is a specimen of writing which shows that there is literary talent in this man’s nature. In fact. this is the handwriting of a very famous fiction writer—and his handwriting tells that he could not be anything else.

Hints to Breakfast Makers Almost any woman can vary the lunch or the dinner, but to many breakfast proves a stumbling block. Day after day, week after week and month after month there is the same old appetizer, the same old cereal. the same old ham and eggs and the same old toast and coffee. - In anoth:. home differ nt foods may be served—such as oranges cn the half shell, bacon and eggs, grid- dle cakes, or salt mackerel—but eyen here there is a sameness to breakfast that is almost appalling. Get into the habit of varying the breakfast as you do the other meals. Change your cereals. Use b< ‘ries or fruit upon them occasionally. Vary your meat dish—ham and eggs, ba- con and eggs, a lamb chop, 4 bit of ham on a lettuce leaf, eggs without ham or bacon. Cut your toast dif- ferently—in small .squares, large squares, in triangles, in oblongs- -nd serve it with butter, with jelly, wit preserves and with marmalade. A As for the necessary breakfast orange, well,‘ serve juice one morn- ing oranges on the half shell the next, orange slices with grated cocoa- nut the third, oranges in segments the fourth, and a cold crisp fruit cup e--:itaining oranc> pulp and tiie ‘Ip and juice of two or thre> ther fruits the fourth.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—August 2, 1980 Wendell Explains "Because," he explained, "human beings are not perfect; they have not, in the majority of cases, adjusted themselves to their environment. They are restless without knowing what they are seeking, Miss Nash." "Oh, let's cut out the formalities," she said boldly, toying with her spoon, "and stop calling me Miss Nash. Just call me Verna and I'll call you Wendell." Oh, how she had been wanting to call him Wendell. Nevertheless, she flushed slightly at her boldness. How handsome he looked sitting back in the dim light! "Just as you wish, Verna," he laughed. "I never make it a point to take liberties with women, you know. Everybody does that, and the women have come to expect it. I try to be an exceptional individual. There is no distinction in being like everyone else and doing the same things everybody else does." "You're a queer fellow," she said, puzzled and slightly wrinkling her brow. "I cannot understand you at all." "That's because I am frank and natural," he replied, "whereas most people spend most of their time pretending they are something different from what they are." "If you're so frank," she asked, "why not tell me why you, a really big and successful young man, have not yet married?" "That's an easy one to answer: I just haven't found the young lady that fits my ideal of a wife. When I find her perhaps I shall get married, which probably means never." "So you don't think any woman is good enough for you, eh?" "Don't misunderstand me, Verna," he said soberly. "There are countless women good enough and too good for me. That is not the point at all. The point is, that when I marry, my wife must be a certain type of woman, and I maintain that that type is rare. Every woman I become intimate with has certain of those qualities that my ideal calls for but no one of them possesses all. When I meet a woman who has all of them, I'll marry her." "Suppose she refuses you?" Verna teased. "What then?" "She won't refuse me," he snapped, sitting upright, his dark eyes flashing. "I usually get what I want in this world because I have the courage and strength to take it. When such a woman, my dream girl, comes along, I shall claim her if the whole world stands in my path to hinder me." Verna was thrilled by the intensity and passion of his tone. She had not believed him capable of such emotion. He had seemed so cold, so suave, so rigidly polite, so, almost, unhuman that this exhibition came as a rather pleasant surprise. It thrilled her to know that at last she had penetrated his defenses. An Open Confession "How silly of me," he smiled, relaxing. "Sometimes I forget myself." "Oh, I think it's so fine that you should feel that way," she said, glowingly. "I think you are quite an admir able person, I really do." "Don't get enthusiastic about me," he warned. "I have my unfavorable sides, too, just like everybody else. I'm no saint, as you have probably surmised, nor need you think that I waste my life in the loneliness of this apartment without female company." "I don't see how you could," she remarked coquettishly, "as fine a fellow as you are." Baffling Murders Continued from Page Four Captain Ricks sat facing the great flat-topped desk, behind which sat Hubert Holcomb, toying reflectively with a piece of white cloth. And to his right young Collins and Attorney Nelson sat glaring at Loanda. Abruptly Holcomb began to talk. "Someone," he said calmly, "in this room killed Harvey Collins." The lawyer sprang up to his feet, sputtering. "Why, that's as plain as day!" he spat into Holcomb's face. "Is there any other logical explanation for the presence on board of this hell-cat?" He pointed toward the cringing Loanda. "It is a discredit to your reputation to harp on something that is plainly obvious, sir." The room filled with droning murmurs. Young Collins sneered openly. Holcomb slowly began again. "Very well," he said "I can appreciate the fact that this is most unpleasant for some of you. I shall proceed to the solution. My first step will be to request each gentleman to hand Detective Wade his fountain pen." "Do you really think so?" he asked, leaning over until his face almost touched hers. "Yes," she breathed softly, her eyes blissfully half closed. "You're the finest man I've ever met." They looked at each other for a full minute, their eyes eloquent. Verna's heart stood still. She wondered what he would do now, when she had been so bold. What would he do? In answer, the doorbell rang. That broke the spell. And under her breath Verna cursed for the first time in her life. Right at a momantic climax and the doorbell had to ring. She smiled dryly to herself as Wendell rose and went to the door. Jack Sanders, one of Wendell's friends bounded in, dragging Theresa Hickson, a show girl, in with him. Verna's heart sank for she knew the evening was practically spoiled. "Say, Wen," shouted the young sheik, "let's go down to Small's tonight. They've got a swell revue there now and a blues singer that's just out of this world. Boy, I'm tellin' you, she won't quit." "Yes, Wen," added his escort, "let's make it a foursome. Just enough here to fill a table and polish off a quart before three G.M. Let's go, pretty papa." "Want to go, Verna?" asked Wendell, and she thought she detected a softness in his voice that she had never noted before. Could he actually be falling? 'Sure, I'm game,' she volunteered. "All right, then, people," cried Sanders. "let's be moochin'" They took a taxicab down to the cabaret and twenty minutes later were seated around a little table, sipping cocktails and watching twelve brownskin chorines go through the intricacies of off-beat dancing. Verna was eager for the show to go off and to dance again with Wendell Dalton. An Old Friend Suddenly on the far side of the room she spied a familiar face. Could it be he? She peered again through the haze of smoke while the dancing waiters, their trays aloft, stamped by grinning and keeping perfect time. Yes, it was Donald Baxter! Donald Baxter, and drunk! He was looking in their direction. He had recognized her. She sat almost frozen with fear. He lurched forward and wended his way through the forest of tables. There was no escape; she would have to see it through. The blood drained from her face. She glanced down to hide her confusion and fright. When she looked up he was standing leering over their table, laughing drunkenly to himself, swaying unsteadily from side to side. "Well, well, well!" he leered sardonically. "So I've caught the old coon at last! Smart kid, ain't you? Thought you could get away from old Don, didn't you. Hell of a way to treat a true frien' after takin' yuh outta th' sticks. He! He! He! Tried to get away from old Don." "Get away from here," shouted Wendell, jumping up, "before I kill you, you bum!"

SONGWRITERS - Address Tommie Malie, IFS, 4215 North Avenue, Chicago. SONGWRITERS One by one, they complied. Wade passed them to Holcomb. A moment later he was, with first one pen, then another, calmly scribbling on a piece of paper. Suddenly he whispered something to his companion, after which Wade crossed swiftly to the lawyer and snapped on a pair of handcuffs. Everyone sitting jumped to his feet. Young Collins stood paralyzed. Lawyer Nelson bared his teeth and spat like a snake. "You fool!" he roared. "What does this mean?" "Allow me, Mr. Nelson," Holcomb drawled, "to refresh your memory. The same day the Bettie B left on her cruise you forged a note on Mr. Collins for ten thousand dollars. You probably intended to make it good if and when certain of your investments matured properly. Detective Wade found it among Mr. Collins's papers. Here it is. Here also is one of his own signatures. "The forgery is very good but, unfortunately for you, it is not perfect. I imagine that Mr. Collins was notified about this in New York a few days ago. That would account for the argument you had yesterday, during which he probably threatened to have you prosecuted. "You were scared. You subsequently remembered the incident of the poisoned dagger, as well as that affair concerning the stolen curio, and decided to make use of the circumstances. "You went to his stateroom and plunged a knife through his heart. Collins's grasp missed but dislodged your fountain pen. You then whisked it up and fled, leaving his stiffening fingers clutching the end of the sheet, taking the curio with you. You heaved it overboard! "Here is the end of that sheet, Nelson. It is stained—a vivid green stain—ink. Here is your pen. It writes a vivid green! "Have I done well. Nelson?" But he had collapsed on the floor.

It has been rumored of late that bicycling is to be advertised—in other words, that an attempt will be made to revive the sport that was so popular twenty or thirty years ago. But should we popularize bicycling today? Should we fill the highways an byways with tiny bicycles when motored vehicles seem to be increasing almost overnight? If each man financially interested in advertising bicycles will guarantee to allow his own son to bicycle along our highways for two or three hours each day while the advertising goes on, we might be more inclined to admit that the bicycle is for today rather than for yesterday.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound THE RESCUE OF MYRNA How Love Triumphed Over the Drug Habit-A Story Revealing the Tragedy Above the roll of her stocking tops Bill saw dozens of tiny punctures . . . By ROSCOE WRIGHT F THERE was anything that William "Bill" Battle liked better than excitement, it was more excitement I CEP2 Although of good family, he enjoyed hanging around the slums and observing what went on. At the corner of Northampton and Washington streets he waited idly one evening for something to turn up. He glanced at his Waitham—ten o'clock. He yawned. Perhaps it was the boredom of Boston that made him yawn; perhaps because he was out late the night before. Nevertheless, he yawned lazily and stretched his long, muscular arms. Someone tapped him on the shoulder: He turned half around. The stranger a short, dark, brown, rat-faced man, smiled and inquired: "Say, you got the habit, ain't you, friend?" "What habit?" "Aw, don't try to play so dumb, you know!" The stranger laid a hand on Bill's arm. "You know because you gave me the signal!" "I gave you the signal?" "Yes, you gaped three times and stretched your arms—that means the habit!" Battle decided to play wise. He confessed falsely: "All right, then! Wait here a minute and I'll get you fixed up!" He was gone in a flash and disappeared around the corner. Bill stood mystified. He lit a cigarette and wondered what was coming next. Thoughts fairly flew through his mind. He was roused from his ruminations by a young colored boy of perhaps twelve years of age. "Mister, you the man with the habit?" "Sure, kid!" "Follow me then." "Where?" "I can't tell you, mister, it ain't far, though." They started off together. Battle tried to engage the lad in conversation; all he could get were short, pup-like "yeps" and "nopes." They walked about three blocks and turned into a dimly lighted, side street. Soon the urchin announced: A MYSTERIOUS HOUSE "Here's the house: come in." They halted in the vestibule of a big, three-story house. The boy rang the bell. A voice called through the speaking-tube. "Who is it?" "It's me, momma, and a man who does cleaning." "All right. come up." As Bill stumbled up the stairs he tried to explain that he didn't do any cleaning. The kid said, "Hush," almost angrily. Little did Battle know that these were the passwords. The kid disappeared. Bill was now in a handsomely furnished living room. Soft lights and velour cushioned, overstuffed furniture added to its attractiveness. On a settee in one corner a feminine figure lay—evidently a young woman: surely not an old one. She was probably asleep. Bill thought. He could see the rhythmic rise and fall of her body as she breath Her legs were uncovered up to her knees. The boy's mother. a big. bloated, brown skin woman of the singsblues-for-the-records type, entered the room. She scrutinized Bill carefully and susoiciously. She seemed to be somewhat doubtful. Her roving. black eyes noted every detail about him. His clear, olive complexion, his perfect composure and polite manner caused her to be uncertain of him: he wasn't the usual type that came to her house. The woman was all business. She snapped at him. "What will you have a sniff or a jab?" He instantly realized that he was in a dope joint and that extreme diplomacy was required. "I'll take a sniff!" She reached somewhere beneath her apron and produced a small folded paper which looked exactly like the white half of a Seidlitz powder. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—August 9, 1930 "The doctor urged me to do it." . . . "Here it is. . . You owe me two dollars." He dug up two one-dollar bills and handed them to her. He was about to place the happy-dust in his pocket. A CRITICAL MOMENT The woman snoved him quickly. He felt himself going back—back against the wail. He stepped forward to gaze into the mouth of a small Colt automatic and into the igress-like face of the woman. Her eyes blazed Ire. She covered him steadily. "But, lady, I don't feel like a sniff just now. I, er-r, I wanted to have some to take later." "Nobody takes any dope outta this house. . . . I didn't think you were on the level. anyway!" "The doctor un "But, lady!" "But, hell "But hell. You're just a damned stool pigeon trying to get the lowdown on me so you can tell the cops. I ought to blow your brains out." She threatened him menacingly. A voice called from the settee. "Sally Sally Don't "Sally Sally Don't shoot him? He's all right!" "How in the devil do you know?" "I know him, Sally . . . really I do. I met him a few days ago and he's O.K. Honest to God, he is!" The woman lowered her pistol. The girl arose and came over to where Bill stood—she winked to him as she did so. "I know you, don't I?" "Well. Myrna. if you do know this fool. you'd better tell him something to keep him from getting bumped off." "I'll look out for him, Sally." Sally left the room. Myrna came nearer and laid her hands on Bill's lapel. She gazed hypnotically into his eyes. He looked down into her eyes; he was powerless to look anywhere else Her eyes were ig and brown; the pupils were unusually wide. She tilted her copper-brown face. "So you are Myrna," he ventured. "Yes." "Well, Myrna, I thank you for getting me out of a lot of trouble . . . but you don't know me. do you?" "No, but Sally is just crazy enough to shoot you and I couldn't stand to see you hurt!" "Just because . . . I like your looks." "So that's why you pretended to know me." arged me to do it." above the roll of her stocking to tiny punctures She dropped her head. She spoke again, "Come up to my apartment if you don't mind. I live here." Bill, ready for anything, assented. Myrna Mason led Bill upstairs to a narrow, carpetless room on the third floor back. They entered, and she turned the key in the lock. The white, iron bed and a few other cheap pieces of furniture suggested a nun's cloister, or a cell of someone doing penance rather than the room of a modern girl. "This," she announced, "is my place but I have been used to better. Have a seat." "Why do you think I had you come up here?" she asked. "I don't know." "I don't know." A Short Story Depicting the Underworld Life "I want to talk . . . that's all. I have been confined in this house for three days and you are the only man of refinement that I have ever seen some here. You are not ea""v a drug addict . . . are you?" "No, I must admit hat I am not. "Anyway, I am not going to ask you why you came to this house because that's none of my business." "You wouldn't believe it, but I was good once." "There's a whole lot wrong. I have gone to the very dogs! It was dope that did it. Dope . . . and . . . "And what?" "Yes, I came from a pretty good family. I was a nurse in a colored hospital in New York City. I was engaged to a doctor there. Like tops Bill saw dozens of fool, I loved him! I thought the sun rose and set in him, and I looked forward to the day when I would be his wife and the mother of his children. "It's a long story. I can't tell you now. The suffering that man and another woman caused me was enough to drive any girl to the dogs!" She spoke in short, jerky sentences. Her eyes flashed as she talked. She went on: "After this I took to using morphine while working in the hospital. See!" She pulled her dress up slightly. Above the roll of her stocking tops Bill saw dozens of tiny punctures where the hypodermic had been jabbed. He shuddered at the sight. "The doctor urged me to do it, saying it would not harm me and would calm my nerves. The hospital authorities warned me but I kept MYRNA'S STORY She sighed deeply. "Well's that interesting." He shuddered at the sight. 7 on! The habit seemed to make my body and soul feel uplifted! "At last I was dismissed! "I wanted to go some place and forget ... I didn't know there; so I came to this town and this house ... and because I had no money to pay for the drugs I needed they are holding me prisoner here trying to force me to sell myself. "But can't you look at me and see that I am differen from these people?" "Yes, cf course, I noticed when I saw you and heard you talk." "Tonight, I am almost myself. Excuse me a minute." She arose, procured a teaspoon, a match and some white crystalline powder from off her dresser. "What are you going to do?" Bill thundered. "Just fix up a little dose for the needle. I need it! I must have it!" "Stop. you mustn't!" "You don't want me to ha, ha, how funny! And why?" "Because I already think too much of you to allow you to keep on this way. Because you have sunken pretty low, as you think, you shouldn't feel that you have to go still lower!" "And you really care?" "Yes, I do. Don't you believe it?" "I certainly do. For your sake I am going to try and lay off this stuff even if I go crazy trying to do without it. I didn't think there was a decent man in the world. But I can see that you're not like the rest." A LOUD KNOCK Someone banged heavily on the door. A man's gruff voice growled outside. "Open up here, and let me in!" "Who's that?" Bill whispered to her. The knocking continued. "It's Jeff. He lives here on this floor. He's drunk all the time and he's always annoying me. These people are trying to make me give in to him. He'll cause trouble for you!" "I'm not afraid or him!" "I know. Quick! Get under the bed. I'll take care of him!" Myrna went to the door and opened it. Jeff staggered in and attempted to grab her. She sidestepped him quickly. His breath was foul with cheap liquor. "Little dickty girl, eh! I thought you had company. Been here three days and still think you're too good for me. But you ain't gonna stall me off no longer. . . ." He advanced on her nsteadily. Bill, beneath the bed, could hardly hold himself in check. The drunken man's speech reassured him that the girl was not a prostitute. Bill felt that he could see her insulted no longer. Myrna pushed forward. She tried to force Jeff back through the door. She said nothing. "Yes, trying to play so virtuous. Dammit! You won't be after tonight." He grabbed her; his feet came close to the bed. Battle's arms shot out. His hands clutched Jeff's ankles and rulled. The man came down in a lumbering heap. His head struck the wall as he fell and lay there stupified. Battle crawled out over the man's prostrate form. "My God! When e comes to tonight, he'll kill me. . . . " Myrna was much excited. She jerked her coat from off the bed. THE ESCAPE "We must beat it! We cannot get out the front way! Come this way!" They went out the window, down the fire escape and through a dark alley back of the house. Soon they were on Washington street. Bill hailed a passing taxi and gave the driver an address. Inside the taxi. Myrna aid her head on Bill's shoulder. "Where are you taking one?" "I am taking you to some people I know; some good people. They'll give you a room. I'll explain things and they'll help you in your fight against dope That is, if you really want to quit. Do you?" "Yes, I really am through. After escaping from that dope den, with all of its perils. I swear to never touch the stuff again." "That's easier said that done but if you prove to me that you are in earnest you shall have nice reward." "And what's the reward?" she questioned eagerly. He kissed her, pulled down the shade in the taxi and answered: "Why, me, of course!
