JAPAN AND CHINA STAY IN LIMELIGHT William Pickens Expresses Interesting Views On Attitude of Conference Towards Disarming "Independent" Nations Washington, D. C. In a special statement for the Associated Negro Press, William Pickens, a contributing editor, expresses some pointed views with reference to disarmament, as follows: "Whom will they wind up by disarming in Washington? Perhaps Haiti, Liberia, China, Germany, and such like "Independent", nations. There also seems to be a great desire on the part of the white nations to disarm Japan. We are not defending the Japanese, we are simply stating a very, plain truth. The Japanese seem to be capable of looking out for themselves. They hardly need even our favorable comment, but what in the Sam Hill is the need of talking about the thing at all, unless we are willing to speak the TRUTH. England is second in desire only to the United States for seeing Japan, disarmed. Even our good friend H. G. Wells shares in this great white consciousness. We think it instinctive for Japan is the first real threat against the white domination of the world since the keys of the Alhambra were last handed over. "If you notice closely you will see a great desire on the part of certain other nations to convince poor China that, the whites are her best friends and Japan her greatest risk. Perfect understanding between China and Japan, followed by friendship and co-operation, would be the beginning of the sure end of European exploitation of Asia, and also the end of our creator domination of the little earth. "Just notice the hypocrites! They say that the Chinese are so much militarized and so much better people than those Prussianistic Japanese. Then why do the white nations not treat Chinese better? Why did they not invite China to be an equal at the conference? They invited Japan and there are ten times as many Chinese in China as Japanese in Japan. Even Well tells the sad story of how we have made the mistake in the past of classing the nobile Chinese as an "inferior" race. He talks as if we have now discovered our mistake and decided to correct it. How? Will England get out of China, will France, will any of them? No. They are leaving it to each nation to "deadle for itself" even about closing their foreign post offices on Chinese soil. If each nation is left to "deadle for itself" about Chinese sovereignty, after this conference China will be exactly where China was before this conference—perhaps a bit worse off because of these practical agreements against her. For, before the conference, each nation had the privilege of acting out its own ideas in China, but without the indirect saction of a formal conference of the others. "But we are amused at the tactics to isolate the wily Japanese; "Five-Five-Three." That looks pretty for everybody but Japan. Oneeditor explained the justice in that problem in proportion thouly; "If the Japanese have six ships to America's ten, they have more ships than the proportion of their territory to America's territory," etc. This editor does not know that the Pacific Ocean, when war starts, will be just as BIG for the Japanese as it will be for the United States; and it will be, just as far from Tokyo, to San Francisco, as from San Francisco to Tokyo, etc. The same editor went on to argue that America should have a bigger navy also because she has the "greater resources" that is more mines, food and other wealth. But for all our brains that seems to be a good reason why America could more safely have a small navy and feel strong. Atlanta, Ga.—Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, aide to E. Y. Clarke, imperial kleagle, has announced her resignation. Clarke is also head of the propagation department of the Ku Klux Klan. Mr. Tyler's resignation is to take effect immediately and is on account of the serious illness of her daughter, who is suffering from tuberculosis. She also ordered that her physician had ordered her to rest or she would suffer a complete collapse. No announcement has been made as to Mrs. Tyler's resignation. Pace Alleges Big Record Producers Would Crush Him Enters Damage Suit. Says Unfair Tactics are Resorted To In Effort To Injure Black Swan Records. New York:—Announcement that the attorneys for the makers of the famous Black Swan Records have in preparation a damage suit against the Columbia Graphphone Company was made here this week. It is alleged that many unfair tactics have been resorted to by various white companies to obstruct the progress of the Pace Company and to curtail the growing popularity of Black Swan Records. Among the largest campaigns to be inaugurated is a series of advertisements in which it is claimed that certain artists under exclusive contract to the Pace Graphphone Corporation are being claimed by the Columbia among their exclusive artists. The singer in question is Carroll Clark, who has been with the Pace Phonograph Corporation since its beginning and two of whose records had already been released on Black Swan. Mr. Clark at on time made a record or so for the Columbia but they gave very little notice to his recording. In releasing it, instead of publishing his picture as is, they printed a picture of a "Southern Scene," so Mr. Clark states. He became dissatisfied over the matter and was among the earliest applicants to sing for the Black Swan. Due to the publicity given by Mr. Peace to Mr. Clark who had signed an exclusive contract with Mr. Peace, and after thousands of his pictures—had been printed and distributed by Black Swan, the Columbia resurrected these old records and are now announcing Clark as an exclusive artist whose singing can be heard only on Columbia Records. In view of the fact that a new record by Mr. Clark, "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," and "One Sweedy Solemn Thought" was released January 1st on Black Swan Records, Mr. Peace is advised by his attorneys that the campaign of the Columbia is calculated to change the sale of the Black Swan Record of Mr. Clark's and suit for damages is being pre- The attorneys are also investigating the complaint that another white company has bribed certain dealers to damage their Black Swan Records before selling them to customers with the intention to make the customer feel that they are not being treated out in that condition and to cause him to cease buying them. Att'y J. T. Newsome Speaks in Danville According the custom and traditions of his city, January 2nd—the 1st being Sunday—was duly celebrated in commemoration of the birth of our freedom, Chief Marshal R. D. Coles planned a mammoth parade, the which did not materialize because the three bands formed a combine and declared, "no money no music." The officers of the Emancipation Association had no money with which to pay the bands; so the "no music" end of the proposition was accepted. At 2:30 p.m. the exercises began at Loyal street Baptist church by singing, "All Hall The Power Of Jesus' Name." The speaker was introduced by Prof. J. T. Page, who said of Emancipation Day, "Without this day you and I might now be smarting under the lash of some cruel slave trader as he drove us half clad to the auction block." In referring to the political campaign of last fall he said, "With only a part of our voting strength supporting the colored ticket, we helped to bury Col. Anderson and his ill-fated crew so deep in political disaster that they are now seeking how they may again secure the services of the black man in order that they may save themselves from political oblivion." The Hon. J. Thomas Newsome was given great aplaus when he arose to speak. The speaker started out by telling the story of that good old deacon who had returned to church for the first time after a long spell of sickness, with rhematic pains in his knee. His pastor calling him forward to tell what the Lard had done for him; as he limped to the front the deacon said, "I can tell you mighty quick what the Lord has done for me, he has mighty-nigh ruined me." The speaker's application was that the flattering introduction he had received had about ruined him. Atty's Newsome spoke of the Negro's happy dont-care disposition, he said, "I saw several men waiting to be electrocuted, four of them were singing, rendering as sweet music as I ever heard. The others were, a sleep." The speaker said our singing and happy disposition helps us to stand things. "You can not keep a singing people down," he exclaimed. In speaking of our liabilities he stressed the importance of a higher morality. He asked NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922 the question with deep solenity; "Do we regard our word as we should?" "We have a note in the bank," continued the speaker, "the day it comes due we do not attend to it. The speaker made it clear that an individual could not rise very high unless he duly regards his word. The speaker in closing his address by relating a Biblical story. He said, "I am treading dangerous ground and the preachers may catch me." The story was that of Elijah being taken up in a chariot and letting his mantle fall on Elisha, and Elisha's servant being alarmed because of the enemy seeking to take Elisha. With skill the speaker portrayed how Elisha had prayed for his servant's eyes to be opened; how the svrast had seen the host of Elisha's God encamped there, for their protection. The speaker closed with these words that had reference o his own people, "Open their eyes that they may see." Other features worthy of mentioning were, the excellent singing of the Gilt Star Quartet and the Double Quartet from Monticello School, the splendid and appropriate recitation rendered by Mrs. Grace West Hardy and the sweet solo by Mrs. Sophronin B. Clayton. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION Fifty-ninth Anniversary of Freedom Observed With Parade and Appropriate Exercises. Monday, January 2, was observed as Emancipation Day.

Farm wages by the month have declined 30 per cent from a year according to the annual survey of the U. S. Bureau of Agriculture and Crop Estimates. On December 1, 1921 the average farm wage per month with board was $26.35. milled the rate one year ago was $36.80, which is the highest record. The present rate of farm wages is about the same as those paid in 1918, but still 75 per cent above the pre-ware rate. A comparison between the price of farm products and farm wages shows that the latter have not dropped in the same proportion as the former, nor should this have been expected, for farm wages did not increase quite as rapidly as the prices of farm products during the first years of the World War. During the past year owing to the unfavorable season and low yields as well as to the decline in prices, the total value of all Virginia crops dropped 45 per cent. The level of prices of Virginia crops is now approximately 10 per cent above the 1913 level, so with farm labor still 75 per cent above the pre-war rate, and all commodities about 70 per cent above the 1913 level, it is not surprising that recent reports show that the farmers are now doing most of their own work and are hiring just as little labor as possible. Day wages for farm help have declined 36 per cent which is slightly more than the drop in monthly wages. The average paid for day labor this year was $1.40 compared with $2.20 last year, and 81 cents in 1913. Wages where board was not furnished are naturally higher than where board is included. The monthly rate without board was $37.55 against $52.10 last year, and the rate by the day was $1.80 against $2.80 last year. The value of the board furnished is generally reported at $11.00 by the month or 40 cents by the day. THOMAS WALTER BICKETT The fact of the uncertainty Tuesday morning of this week for Walter Bickett, former governor of Governor Bickett was a profound him. So full of life, so full of never thought of Bickett dying, Bickett would never grow old. His death is no respector of persons. Bickett lived may die suddenly. His last act was one to Mrs. Bickett herself. She prepared her evening meal, intimating with her seven something of the polished confluence of a Woodrow Wilson Go down in history as the great possessed all the human attribute and all the idealism that made Governor days of the late war.

The administration of that justice of it will remain a monument and honest Bickett.—The Independent The fact of the uncertainty of life was again emphasized Tuesday morning of this week in the sudden death of Thomas Walter Bickett, former governor of North Carolina. The death of Governor Bickett was a profound shock to every one who knew him. So full of life, so full of fun, so full of fellowship, one never thought of Bickett dying. Death was for older men and Bickett would never grow old. But we are reminded again that death is no respector of persons and one who lives intensely as Bickett lived may die suddenly as Bickett died. But he died His last act was one of loving ministry to his splen- to Mrs. Bickett herself was ill. He had, with his own paired her evening meal, brought it to her bedside, and frightened intimately with her when he was stricken. Seven something of the political cunning of a Lincoln and near Conflict of a Woodrow Wilson, T. W. Bickett might have gone down in history as the greatest of North Carolinians. He possessed all the human attributes that made Lincoln glorious and all the idealism that made Woodrow Wilson the idol in the earlier days of the late war. But Bickett was not ambitious. He knew that when in the midst of his term of office as governor he turned his back on the all powerful Baptist denomination in North Carolina and joined the Episcopal Church. No ambitious man would have done that. An ambitious man would have started a campaign to build a Baptist tabernacle and so strengthened his position as to have gotten a nomination for the United States Senate. But Bickett was not ambitious. There was very little in this life that he wanted for himself. He loved his wife, he loved his books, he loved his friends; and the loves that enriched his own life made him a lover of all mankind. He desired always to give the unfortunate a chance. It was his dream to see the landless tenants of North Carolina translated into landlords and citizens of the enduring type. He raised his voice often in behalf of the Negro and sought justice for that race. To those in prison he was inclined to say "Go thou and sin no more!" He became known as the Pardoning Governor. But what he desired above all things for his state was an equitable adjustment of the taxes of its citizens. He realized that the greatest progress of the people would be made thru better schools, better roads, better health measures and state efforts in behalf of a better rural life and better agriculture. He realized that these things were possible only thru taxation and that taxation would always be in disrepute until the burdens of taxation were equitably distributed, every citizen paying to the state in proportion to his exact wealth and ability to pay. The Revaluation Act of the Bickett Administration should stand as Thomas Walter Bickett's greatest achievement. The administration of that Act may fail, but the everlasting justice of it will remain a monument to the memory of the just and honest Bickett.—The Independent, Emibeth City, N. C.

It begins with Calliope's visiting her friend Mia' Sykes and both of them noticing that the Old Mexico House has been rented. They must be pretty fine people, they argue, to be able to pay the rent of twenty dollars. They watch and see the goods arrive in a van—a plane, comfortable-looking furniture. It is then that Mia' Sykes declares "Whoever it is will be a distinct addition to Friendship Village Society." They learn that their new neighbor's name is Burton. Fernandis, a most aristocratic appulation, and Mia' Sykes decides that as the newcomers are moving in Friday they will get up a surprise party for Saturday night. When Calliope suggests that Mia' Sykes is perhaps too sure regarding the newcomers, Mia' Sykes declares "Folkases individualism is expressed in folkases furniture. You can't tell me that with those beddings, we can go grease in a new mattress." "Well," Callego says, "I can't imagine being because I can't think anything that would make me give them the cold shoulder. That's another comfort about being friends to everybody—you don't have to decide which one you want to know." "You're so queer," says Mis' Sykes, tolerant. "You miss all the satisfaction of being exclusive. And you can't afford not to be." "Mobbe not," Calope says, "Mobbe not, but I am willing to try it, hang the expense." On the day the newcomers arrive Calipe finds that her hyacinth bulbs need repotting, and she carries a pot to the new neighbor. She is ushered into a beautiful room filled with books and pictures and meets her hostess, a lively lady. This is Calipe's description of her. "I gave her the flower and I don't believe I looked surprised any more than when I first saw the picture of the disciples, that the artists painted their skins dark, like it must have been. Mrs. Fernandis was dark too, but her people had not come from Asia but from Africa." Calipe sits down to chat and learns of the daughter who is at Chicago University and of the son who is returning from Cross where he has received the Cross of War. With this story she faces Myk's Sykes and wants to know her decision regarding the surprise party. But I won't tell more of the story. You must read it yourself to learn how it turns out. I wondered, as I read it, what the reaction has been on the part of Miss Gale's many admirers who have read this exquisite "Dream." STRAY THOUGHTLETS By James M. Harrison Many a follower of the races would give thousands for that hornet that caused Mrs. Roosovelt mule to run away by stinging him. This is the time of the year when the devil begins to bid for paving material.—New Year resolutions. We can never expect to sit permanently on the water wagon as long as whiskey ships reach port. The dead line in Russia seems to have given away to the bread line. Now that the price of sugar has dropped, we may be able in the near future to get an old fashioned plate of pork and beans for a dime. One of the inconsistences of women may be shown in the fashions. Winter has just begun, and the dear things are wearing their spring hats. The difference between the average mother-in-law and a mule is that with the former it is dangerous to talk back to her, and in the other, dangerous to walk back of her. From the latest reports, we are pleased to say there were no causalities reported of amateur Santas setting their whiskers on fire. The Christmas passed with a large number of "dry" drunks. "De best way to fin' de valyer ob moncy", mused Uncle Jimson, "is to try an' borry some." BRIEFS AND SPICES By S. J. C. Love is blind; but some how it functions more readily in the dark. "Money doesn't makeools"—Headline. No, butools make money. No, who packed their New Year's resolutions carefully need have no fear from breakage. One reason for saying that men are hustlers is, they have to hustle to keep up with the running expense. It is not surprising to hear that landlords are becoming hard boiled, they've been in enough hot water. Another way of proving yourself to be a hero is to come out of a barber shop without getting trimmed. Much has been said, but whatever Santa Claus brought was at least accepted in principle. Judging from the way "grown-ups" read the captions at the movies shows, we are forced to believe that silent reading is a modern novelty. The pressing business will get on it's feet when young men cease getting their trousers pressed in the parlor. Another Problem Arised, (?) Boston schoolboy criticises construction of P. M. G. Hayes' address to them. Among the few characters who overworked their casts in 1921 were A Volstead, Barleycorn and Mius De Meanor. MR. CHAUNCEY LAMB DID NOT APPEAR In the announcement appearing in this paper last week of the entertainment given last night at the Booker T. Washington High School, benefit Tidewater Hospital, there appeared the name, of Mr. Chamousey Lamb which was unauthorized. Mr. Lamb had no connection, whatever, with the affair and wishes this announcement made. Making Men Fit To Live James E. Scott Life is filled with problems—big and little—but the problem of getting and keeping fit to live is a vital, fundamental one to all men throughout our nation and especially so, to the colored youth of our land. Because it is, and because of my ambition and desire to render real service to our community, the writer has made an intimate and exhaustive study of the situation here from every angle. My abservations and advice are not based upon theory, but upon actual, practical experience. From every community in our country men were drafted for service in the United States Army or Navy during the past war. The figures showing he results of their physical examinations were very appalling. Notwithstanding, the fact, that, we expected a healthier state of affairs in what should have been our healthiest group, namely in men from 21 to 31 years. Yet even with young men, figures show that the situation relating to physical qualifications was very bad. The second annual report of the United States Provost Marshal General, which was based on the physical examinations of 3,208,446 men, brt in under the selective draft law during the period December 15, 1917 to September 11, 1918, showed that of all those examined, 949,419, or approximately 30% were disqualified because of sickness or defect. From February 10, to October 15, 1918, 467,694 were thrown out by the local Exemption Boards or the Camp Surgeons for one cause or another. Many of those who passed the physical examinations cost the Government millions of dollars making and keeping them fit to fight and die. In all of the camps reclaiming stations were set up and the great process of rebuilding men went on until the men became physically fit. After having been cleansed and purified, intense training rounded them into strong, courageous men; who were ready to die for our country. The call today is not for men who are ready to die for our country—but for men who are ready to live. Organizations created for the purpose of caring for the sick and burying the dead are necessary, yet in the new order of things, they are destined to fall unless they change their program so that they can do more for their members who are struggling to live. In every community there is great need for an organization whose mission is to make men fit to live. Thus an organization regular physical examinations could be taken of the members. A thorough examination will find correctable defects—and save future misery, suffering and early death. A thorough examination will increase physical efficiency and happiness. A thorough examination will detect fatal disease, curable only in the beginning-stages, such as cancer. Through such an organization as the Norfolk Athletic Club man can be made fit to live and given an opportunity to live the physical culture life. The life through which they can develop abundant force force, fagless energy, and physiques that will be able to keep their manhood, perfect health and pride which only real men enjoy. The Norfolk Athletic Club needs a membership of one thousand members before the twentieth of January. Get ready for the big campaign for active and associate members. One thousand members will make it possible for the Club to get started with its big constructive program. If we can secure through the membership of one thousand men their co-operation, sympathy and backing we can not only do a great deal for our community's morale but we can make men fit to live in Norfolk. A great mass meeting of men who are intently interested in the welfare of men and boys in Norfolk will be held at the Attucks Theatre, on Sunday afternoon, January 8th, at 4 o'clock. We urge the presence of representatives from every walk of life as well as the representatives of the various organizations of the city. Many prominent speakers will be present. Come out with an open mind and let your heart be touched for the good of the Community.

STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION. Teste: H. T. WILSON, Clerk Watch this Paper Next Week for Announcement the Missouri Negro Industrial Commission office. Of the 178,000 Negroes in Missouri, only about 40,000 live in rural districts. The farmers have a Negro Farmers Bureau with about 2000 members, Floyd Winn of Dalton being recently elected Chairman.

Department For Women And Children Featured Beginning with the issue of January 15th this paper will conduct a department for women and children. It is our policy to make the paper for our readers and in this instance we wish them to take us at our word and help us to make the department what it should be. One of the features will be a question box through which we will answer questions of love, marriage, research, fortunes and anything you desire to ask. Our Department Conductor will answer everything. Intimate questions will not be answered in the paper, but if the letter is accompanied by a stamped addressed envelope, she will be gind to write you a personal letter. Young men and old men desiring to ask questions pertaining to the gentler sex are welcome to do so. The editor of this department thinks we folk spend too much money for eats, in proportion to our income, especially the meat dishes and she plans to have at least one recipe each week showing how inexpensive portions of the best kinds of meat may be prepared; so as to reduce the cost without sacrificing nourishment. Our readers can help in this by submitting tried recipes of low cost dishes. Children live in the land of "make believe" and nothing suits them better than story telling, so we plan to give them a treat each week in the form of an old story retold or an article of adventure that will help them in their search for knowledge. This feature will not be all fun and frolic. We will make the articles cover Colored Entertainers Galore!

Coming To Attucks In "Within The Law." THE DUNBAR PLAYERS COMING TO THE ATTUCKS FOR THE FIRST TIME Will Open Monday With "Within the Law", Starring Andrew Bishop, and Cleo Desmond, Isabelle Jackson, Susie Sutton, Charles Olden, Arthur Ray, Elizabeth Williams and otherNoted Stars In the Cast. ANDREW BISHOP Andrew Bishop and Cloe Desmond, the race's stellar drama artists, are coming south for the first time. They have played New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington and other northern centers, spending whole seasons in one house and never growing stale to the audiences. Desmond's and Bishop's names are household words in these cities and their reputations have spread throughout the world. Time and time again efforts have been made to bring them south but not until this time have they accepted an offer to come. Every since the Attucks has been built the patrons of the house have been clamoring to see these popular artists. The opportunity is their's for the first time. Aside from Bishop and Desmond the company includes Isabelle Jackson, Susie Sutton, Charles Olden, Arthur Ray, Elizabeth Williams, Lionel Monago, Walter Robinson and others. Mr. J. E. Kelley, the present energetic Manager of the Attucks deserves all of the credit for the bringing of these popular players to Norfolk and Mr. Kelley says he has a number of other surprises in store for the patrons of the house this season. The Dunbar Players, as the company is styled, opens at the Attucks Monday night with "Within the Law." "Big Money is not made because of the law, but in spite of it. It is made by men who can afford to hire big lawyers to show them how to break the law. I went to jail for something I did not do. When I came out, the police wouldnt let me earn an honest living. Well, now I am making more than a living dishonestly—and my lawyer is showing me how to do it." This is one of the remarkable speeches of Mary Turner, nerino of Bayard Veiller's wonderful melodrama, "Within The Law" that ran over two years in New York City and is regarded as the greatest play of the day. The story has to do with this girl 'railroaded' to prison by a department store proprietor for the theft she did not commit. Out of jail she lives by blackmail, but always works within the law. Out of revenge she weds the store owner's son. The police try to hound her out of town, and try to hure her out of a burglary. But she is too much for them. In the end, all is righted, she learns that she really loves her husband, gives up all ideas of revenge and starts the new life of happiness. It probably is true that the most talked of play of the present time is Bayard Veiller's wonderful melodrama "Within The Law" that holds a record of two solid years in New York City and has captured every city where it has been seen. It is the story of Mary Turner, a shop girl who is sent to prison by the store owner for a crime she did not commit. Before she goes to prison, the store owner offers to make it easier for her if she will give information to help him stop the thievery going or in his place. "Yes" pay the girl's living wages. How do you expect to be honest on six dollars a week? is her reply. This is but one truth thrust home in Veiler's remarkable play. It is an index of human characters and human nature. One out of prison, Mary Turner tries to be 'honest', but the police won't let her. Then she takes to blackmailing but never until she has consulted counsel. Out of revenge she weds the son of the man who sent her to jail. The police continue to hound her, and finally involve her and her husband in serious complications. But all is set right in the end and happiness dawns for her. There is a most striking array of characters in "Within the Law". Besides Mary Turner, we have Agriy Lynch, the shrewd girl whose vernacular is a gem; the brutal police inspector, the 'Fly' detective, the police stool pigeon, the meek-mannered but dangerous professional crook and NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUD CLEO DESMOND R PLAYERS THE ATTUCKS THE FIRST TIME with "Within the Law", Starr- and Cleo Desmond, Isabelle ton, Charles Olden, Arthur diams and otherNoted Stars but just as true to life and as inter- esting. A novel feature in this melo- drama is the introduction of a pistol equipped with a maxim silencer. When Bayard Veilier wrote the melodrama "Within the Law" he did not realize perhaps that he was giving the stage a plot that was destined to make phenomenal and enduring theatrical history. Its records proves the assertion "Within the Law" opened at the Elfinge Theatre, New York City one night with little known of it in that exacting and capricious metropolis save that it was a melodrama by an unknown author. Two years later it still was running at the same theatre to crowded house and the play and author's name were known the world over wherever the stage exist. "Within the Law" was a success from the outset because it is a thoroughly human play and a play, because it touches the heartstrings, because it delves into things and treats, of people we know exist but see and know little of, because it unseals the book of human nature to show its cleanest pages and reveal its greatest truths. Simplicity is the key note of the story on the surface yet it is with wonderful subtility and adroitness, that the author has constructed his play. Mary Turner is employed in the department store of Richard Gilder. Thiefs are frequent. Mary is wrongly accused, arrested and on Gilder's request that she be made an example of, is given a long term. Out of prison she tries to live honestly, but the police hound her and make it impossible. Then she turns to living by blackmail, but always remaining within the law. She becomes acquainted with Gilder's son and out of revenge, marries him. To the father she says "four years ago you took away my name and gave me a number; now I've discarded the number and taken your name." The police try to drive her out of the New York. They send a stool pigeon to tempt her into a rich burglary but she refuses; one of her washer confederates consents and it is learned that it is Gilder's house that is to be burglared. "Within The Law" is a big gripping play of life today. It is strong in its dramatic intensity, true in its mirroring of human nature bristling with thrills, suspense and surprises; appalling in heart interest, rich in real comedy; wonderful and enduring, in the lessons of life and nature that it touches. Mary learns what is up and goes to the house to stop the robbery. Her husband comes in and sees her. The stool pigeon gives the signal and on the verge of capture, the confederate kills the stool pigeon with a maximulent pistol. However the problem is solved by trapping the murderer into confession, thus releasing the girl and her husband, both of whom have kept silent, although accused of murder. Norfolk People Entertain Mr. Gilpin The people of Norfolk vied to outdo each other in paying homage to Mr. Charles S. Gilpin, the great actor who has made pronounced successes in drinkwater's "Abraham Lincoln" and O'Neil's "Emperor Jones." From the time of his arrival from Richmond Thursday morning last, until his departure early Sunday morning to Parkersburg, W. Va., his stay in Norfolk has been punctuated with a series of entertainments in his honor. On Friday afternoon, with Mrs. Dr. Byrd as hostess, representing the Swastika Club, a reception was given in his honor from four to six o'clock. After which a stag was tendered him by Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Harrison at their residence in Washington Avenue. After the performance, Mrs. Einma V. Kelly and Mrs. Buncea V. Kelly Jackson tendered him a mid- night banquet at their residence in O'Keefe street. At the "Pals" informal dance Thursday evening at the Auditorium, Mr. Gilpin was introduced by Mr. J. M. Harrison, after which he was the recipient of many social honors. Mr. Gilpin expressed his profound appreciation of courtesies shown him while here and said to a representative of the Journal and Guide, that he would always cherish in memory the unstinted hospitality shown by him Norfolk people. As the successor of Ira Aldridge, the great Negro exponent of the histrionic art. Mr. Gilpin is one of the seven recipients of Spingring medals, his being a splendid gold one dedicated to him in the name of art. That he is an artist of the first magnitude no one will gainsay, running nearly a year on Broadway, he carried his role into the hearts of a million people_who saw his art, and gave unstinted praise to the great Virginian who carried the burden alone of a one man, play. Mr. Gilpin is not only a "hale fellow well mot", but a man whom success has in no way, lured him from the friends of other years. He has not only mpoa a splendid impression on the white people which was evidenced by the press comments, but the colored people of Norfolk feels that in entertaining this great man, they have not only rendered him great honors, but he has honored them as well. Mr. Gilpin is not only a natural artist, but a philosopher who has gained wide experience in the great University of life. He is a genius upon whose head success has not caused a larger size hat to be worn SEWELLS POINT (Continued from Paga Three) Fund; Hatie Pryer, chairman of the sick committee. Trustees, W. H.

LET 1922 BE A YEAR OF ACTION IN OUR COMMUNITY RIGHT BREATHING, FOR LIFE AND HEALTH, FOR HAPPINESS Members of the Norfolk Athletic Club will learn to Breathe right. Live in the open as much as possible. Keep their sleeping room windows open, so that they can breathe fresh, pure air always, and take deep long breaths. Few people use all of their lungs—they breathe into the lungs just enough air to fill half of their air-cells. This brings on lung trouble and tuberculosis. The purpose of breathing is to take in oxygen to purify the blood. Air is the most valuable thing in the world, yet we value it the least. We can live for days without any hinge else, without even food and water, but we can't live even a few minutes without air. The more pure air we breathe into our lungs the more blood we purify, and pure blood is the river of life. "HAPPINESS IS NINE-TENTHS HEALTH" The Norfolk Athletic Club will help you to get and keep good HEALTH You are urged to become a member during our Big Drive For Members.
