Norfolk Journal and Guide MAN BRAINED TO DEATH BY SISTER-IN-LAW CITY EDITION EUGENE C. RIDLEY KILLED WHEN HE FIRES ON WOMEN Brave Woman Jumps From Automobile And Slays Man Who Attempts To Murder Members Of Party. TRAGEDY RECALLS FIRST WIFE'S DISAPPEARANCE Eugene C. Ridley, of 11 Kirk avenue, Mt. Hermon, Portsmouth, was killed by Miss Annie Folk, the sister of his estranged wife in a fight at Holland, Va., Monday According to a story told by the woman, Ridley fired once at an automobile in which she and his wife were riding and when his gun jammed as he attempted to second time the car he held, she jumped out from the car and the weapon from him and brained him with it. Ridley had been married to Mrs. Delhi Folk Ridley about two years. She was his second wife whom he married after a strange disappearance of his first wife. He and the second Mrs. Ridley separated last June, his wife going back to her home in Island, New York. She went to Holland to get a pet dog of his which his estranged wife took with her when she left his home. Forced To Leave Mrs. Ridley told the police she was forced to leaver her husband in consequences of his threats against her life. She filed divorce and asked that he be placed under bond to keep the peace. She stated in her divorce papers she feared in her boyfriend, her mother, her brother, her two sisters and her brother. "Amie Folk has been admitted to bail. About two years ago the first Mrs. Riley disappeared from her home under circumstances which have never been explained. It was claimed at that time that Riley murdered his wife. He was arrested on suspicion of her murder and held in the lock-up for a considerable time while police and detectives of Portsmouth made strenuous efforts to connect him with murdering the woman. The surrounding neighborhoods, woods and swamps were seized for her body. People in Portsmouth were arrested by Riley's guild and gave the authorities damaging evidence against him. The circumstances as stated pointed to his positive guilt, but as the authorities failed to discover any trace of the woman a corpus could not be established and Riley was released. From then on people have pointed to him as a wife murderer at liberty. A Bacchanalian Ridley was a mullate almost indistinguishable from white person he was at one time quarterman of laborers in the Navy Yard, a position rarely held by colored men, if he was carving a good salary. His life of a bacchanalian. His friend of the other women resulted in bitter wangles between him and his wife. It was the knowledge of their sterny life that led the killers into the belief that he killed to be rid of her. She was seen home during the day prior to her appearance. At night she was missed and no trace of her has been discovered until this day, it is said. Ridley stoutly maintained that her disappearance was as much to him as to any one else. He claims that she was at home in the morning when he left for work. Others denied the movement and asserted that he made away with her during the night. Shortly after being released from jail Ridley purchased a Ford Sodan and proceeded to joy ride nine women. He married Miss Folk in less than a year after the disappearance of his first wife. People who knew the man well describe his tragic death at the hands of a woman as a "just retribution." Dyer Makes Speaking Tour For N. A. A. C. P. New York, N. Y., Aug 9—Representative Louodias C.

Lindenwood Fights Cockroach Army Lindenwood Fights Cockroach Army Houses And Church Infested With Millions Of Insects Bred In City Garbage Dump In Beautiful And Valuable Residential Section. EIGHT PAGES BRAIL Lindenwood Cockroach Houses And Church Is Of Insects Bred In the Beautiful And Valuable Cockroaches and millions of them, cockroaches in droves, bait- ations, rygiements double and si- ggle file have swuccoped down upon Lindenwood "like the wolf on the fold." The residents have declared war on the pests. Night and day they wage a ceaseless warfare on the deprudators and yet they come, unnerved and undaunted. All sort of drug, chemicals sticks brooms, swatters and motley of weapons have been employed in the conflict, but cockroaches ever come, depending only on fleetness of feet to best their attackers. A house wife growing desperate after a month of fighting with each day's battle becoming less effective, telephoned the Journal and Guide asking what might be done to save the day for the residents and answer the paper to the fight if it could. A Guide report was immediately dispatched to the scene What he saw follows: A Beautiful Section Lindenwood is a beautiful colored residential section with lovely homes owned by their occupants. Green foliage, sweet smelling flowers and well kept lawns reflect the pride of the citizens in their community. East of Ludlow street, which is the extreme eastern boundary of Lindenwood, and between Cottage Heights lies about an acre of low marsh land. The city has been filling in this neighborhood's dwellings from the streets including garbage and refuse of all-kinds with carcasses of animals, according to statements made by the residents. It is on this dump the cockroaches breed. About a month ago, according to the housewives, the odor from decaying carcasses and vegetable matter became unsufferable and complaint was registered with the city authorities. Dumpings on the lot was stopped and the rules were enforced. That it started the war. Being able to find fresh food on the dump and not liking the sprayed stuff the burgers to the homes. Cover The Community They have marched on every householder on Ludlow street and advanced us far as West and Hale streets. It is reported that a vanguard of them has made its appearance in Huntersville. Each housewife interviewed told the Guide reporter similar stories. "Troubled, troubled, troubled with cockroaches," was the wall everywhere. One woman thinking probably the reporter was from "Missouri" off the show him. The reporter consented to be shown, but after leaving that house he willing took the other householders' word for the rest of the story. He had seen enough. In the house, on the porch, under beds, in the refrigerator, wash tubs, kitchen, sewing machine drawers, floor crevices, on the walls, ceilings and everywhere were cockroaches by the thousands. Carpet hedges cut low and almost bare; food destroyed thru the depreciations of the bugs. Flower plants had been pulled up and destroyed, hedges cut low and almost bare; desperate efforts to rid the premises of the insects. The housewife stated that members of the family remain up until the wee hours of the morning in an effort to check the invaders. When the fighters finally retire at night and awake in the morning the screen door is covered with the hungry bugs trying to gain entrance into the house. And she said, she usually sweeps up about 100 bugs as a result of the nights' battle. Near the fence is kept a large kerosene can and from this can oil is poured into the fence locks at frequent intervals. When this is done the bugs swarm up as if literally rising from the earth. Some of them of grant size, others middle size, and some of them present an uncanny sight as they roll up in balls as big as hen eggs. Conditions are the same all along Ludlow street and on all other streets visited by the invaders. Fences are white with insect powder, lawns are covered with it. Every husband in that community has something bled a "fungus Post." One family stated their outlay for bug destroyers during last month amounted to $15.00. Infect The Church On Ludlow street is Mount Olivet Baptist Church. It is a neat appearing little white-painted edifice. It has little white space in the basement. If we have they have so infested the building that members make regular pilgrimages there ev- ery Saturday evening and kill as many of them as possible so as to be able to worship in the church on Sunday. Services have been practically suspended because the members are reluctant to attend these people in killing burg. Those who do attend are afraid to sit down. The people have despaired of killing off the cockroaches and now endeavor to kill enough of them so as to be able to occupy their homes. The garbage dump is an unsignally heap of tin cans, bones, bones and other refuse lying in the midst of one of the most valuable and finest colored residence securities. The pile of rubbish lurks probably not insects, but disease gears of several descriptions. Lindenwood residents stated that they have complained to the proper authorities about the situation time and again, but nothing has been done to bring them relief. The Director of Public Welfare visited the Journal and Guide when interested in that he had requested the street cleaning department to take some action regarding the matter. Chief Railway Mail Clerk In The City John D. Gainey, of Washington D. C., who was recently made Assistant Chief Clerk in the Railway Mail Service, was in this city last week surveying the situation at the local post office as affects colored railway mail clerks. Mr. Gainey called at the Guide office and in an interview stated that he could do some constructive work on the interest of the Negro mail clerk. He cited a case of dismissal which has already engaged his attention. In this case, he said, investigation by him disclosed that the discharged clerk had been dealt with unfairly and upon his recommendation was reinstated on different run. Mr. Gainey was enroute west and will make an itinerary of the country probably within this year checking the mail clerk situation. It is the first time the service that colored clerks have had a direct representative at Washington. Lincoln Johnson Speaks Here Henry Lincoln Johnson, Georgia member of the Republican National Committee, spoke at the Attucks Theatre on Monday night, August 6, under the auspices of the International Order of Harvesters, of which he is one of the organizers. His subject was "The Needs of the Negro Today." For addressing questions possibly affecting Negroes, Mr. Johnson explained the purposes of the International Order of Harvesters. He outlined the fraternal and insurance features of the organization and told how the commissions which agents generally receive on writing insurance would be used in this instance for the maintenance of a headquarters in Washington, D.C., to fight injustice and indignation against Negroes. To watch legislation and issue upon the rights to which Negro citizens are entitled in common with other citizens. The headquarters of the International Order of Harvesters is in Washington, D. C. It is being organized by Perry W. Howard, President of Risher and William C. Matthews. The insurance policies are underwritten by the Northeastern Life Insurance Company, of Concord, N. H.

Maxwell had a brick in his hand as he approached his wife and they had quarreled repeatedly accordin to neighbors. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1923 WHAT WILL NEW PRESIDENT MEAN TO RACE IS ASKED Political Chaos Results From Harding's Death; Colored Electorate Bewildered; Express Confidence in Coolidge BELIEVE THAT HE WILL ADMINISTER LAW FAIRLY (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 19—Political chaos has come as a result of Mr. Harding's death. The immediate consideration, to Negro citizens, as to Americans generally, points to new alignments of voters and political workers as a result of the assumption of the duties and office of President by Mr. Coolidge. What, most men are asking, is he going to mean to us? In one respect the new president is felt to be widely understood. The public seems content for the present to base its estimates of the character of this dyeed in-the-wool Yankee and red-headed president by his pre-emptive, definite and effective action in the Boston police strike of some years ago, action against the Vice-President and his gaining of the name, "Law and Order" Coolidge. Political wacreses of both races declare Coolidge to be a man of strong personal convictions. They look upon him as a little man physically, big inside and full of strength. There is some inclination to fear that he may develop Napoleonic tendencies in the firmness sand forthrightness in his policies. There is no sign, according to the press, of themselves, of the straddle. He will meet issues as they come up to him and dispose of them. Not much so far has been written of the career of the new President as a politician. Despite the fact that he was governor of Massachusetts, little is known of what part he played in building the political organization in the Bay State which was responsible for his election, first by a 7,000 major party, and second by 55,000. Those interested in the events of the ten months preceding the Republican national convention are asking themselves with what efficacy Coolidge is going to be able to work in with the Republican leaders of the organization as it now is. Harding is the leader of the party in every way, the titular and actual head. Coolidge is now the titular head, but will he be able to work with the Republican leadership, a feat that depends on personality, strength of character, and the ability to force co-ordination of the motives and works of strong, big men who are working at variant angles to themselves and to the President. Will he be able to line up Borah, Johnson, La Follette, and the rest of the group? Which friends of Harding, active, powerful, and intelligent, will be the party organization, will Coolidge be able to retain, or will he wish to? Has he anything up his sleeve, so to speak? It is expected, among Negroes that the group of Republican politicians who have labored with the new President in his less pretentious days are now to be heirs presumptive to Presidential favor. There is already in Boston the Coolidge Republican club, composed of the city's most influential, powerful, and astute Negro politician, who is known as Coolidge's aloofness and quietness, it is also a point of knowledge that he has been close and intimate with this organization. Colored Americans may be compelled now to look in an entirely new direction for the amelioration of political ills. The boys who know the President when he was a boy, who used to work for him, who have given him this and that advice, and so forth, no longer live in Ohio, but in Massachusetts that now, it is magnificent law. The former Massachusetts lawmaker General do? What of Matthew and the rest of the bunch? While there is every indication that Coolidge will look to Boston for his first pointers relative to his Negro supporters, it is well recognized that there will be persistent offers of advice from other points of the compass. The organization headed by Henry Lincoln Johnson, Georgia National Committeeman, had just begun to function. Whatever Johnson may attempt to do will be significant because of the interminable ramifications of his political connections. He has at his beck and call some of the most astute among Negro politicians, the real professionals. No one, it is believed, can foretell just what influence these men may be able to exert. It is a practical certainty that southern Negro voters, who are few, will follow Johnson and his coterie.

(By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 9.—Colored Americans throughout the country have been unanimous with their white fellow citizens in expressing regret at the death of the late President, Warren Harding, Differences they had and hopes they nourished were forgotten in the feeling of sorrow which claimed them following the loss to them and to the country generally. Negroes believe that the country has lost a great man, a human being, withal, who might have erred, but whose heart was attuned to beat with the great mass of humanity, in America and elsewhere. They have been glad of the opportunity to register their genuine appreciation for the accomplishments of the dead President. Some of the expressions received from prominent citizens follow: heavenly bouquet when Warren G. Harding, President of all the people of the United States, was transposed from earth to glory. He was one who loved and served from the lowest up—JOHN L. WEB, Supreme Custodian of W. O. U., and president of the National Insurance Association, Hot Springs, Ark. "The death of President Harding is a national calamity. It is always a misfortune to the country to have any president die in office.

The world has lost one of this hour mourn and pray for the entrance of the President's soul into the realms of paradise."—Marcus Garvey, President General, Universal Negro Improvement Association and provisional president of Africa. "I thought always of President Harding as a tender, single-minded Christian President. The most marked element of his charity was his patience and desire to be right in the face of injustice. He was deeply impressed with the place and power of America in adjusting the present unsettled conditions of the world. His was a contention for a world brotherhood."—Dr. L. K. Williams, president, National Baptist Convention. "Our group will not fully appreciate the attitude of the late President Harding for some time to come. In death as in life I had an abiding faith that he would work out the problem in a large measure to the satisfaction of all notwithstanding the many handicaps that confronted him upon entering the office and shortly thereafter. If our group will study the situation and read all the things that have been written, they will conclude that he did quite well under the circumstances."—Perry W. Howard, Special Asst. U. S. Atty. General. "All class of students were profoundly shocked at the death of President Harding. In many ways he has disappointed our group, but none can deny that within the last eight months he had displayed a grasp upon questions, national and international, that challenged the hospital and had farmed early criticized him, I believe, from what I know, he ultimately intended to adjust the affairs of the hospital at Tuskegee to the satisfaction of the colored people."—Dr. Charles E. Bentley, Chicago Branch, N. A. A. C. P. "President Harding has paid with his life the supreme penalty for good citizenship, trying as best he could to render worthy service to the nation. The President ever assumed the reins of government under weightier responsibilities or higher sense of duty."—George K. Terskey, Member, Illinois General Assembly. "Warren G. Harding fell going up hill under the tremendous weight of hurdens that were his to carry during one of the most trying periods of our country's history. He endangered his political future by upholding the 18th amendment. His stout heart failed him, however, when called upon to consider, equally sacred, the 14th and 15th amendments. But, notwithstanding his being 100 per cent American, the eyes of 12,000 of my people today wet with tears on account of his untimely death, for he was our President." -Adelebert H.

It is always a misfortune to the country to have any president die in office. He was the originator and champion of several policies, national and international which provoked criticism and opposition among those who were politically opposed to him but on the part of many prominent and influential leaders of his own party. Had his life been spared to the end of the term to which he was elected he might have demonstrated to the satisfaction of the public that he was right and his critics wrong."—Major John R. Lynch. "In the death of President Warren Ganamel Harding the country has sustained a severe loss. He was one of the commanding figures in the history of our times and will be remembered by his high attitude toward all matters of public moment, which, as he saw them, affected the well being of the nation."—W. H. A. Moore. "Men of different political beliefs, of different races, of different creeds, have seen these differences fade away into insignificance when news of the sudden and unexpected death of the nation's chief came to them. It is proper and fitting at this time that we, an integral part of the nation of which he we, the head pastor dignified and sorrowful reverence to the memory of the man whose possession we must so keenly feel."—F. L. Gillespie, president, Liberty Life Insurance Co. "To the many expressions concerning our lamented President, Warren G. Harding, I sorrowfully add a contribution. From a close personal acquaintance extending to many years, I always found him cordial, courteous, and conscientious. His condiscussion of and loyalty to all pertaining to the Fourth Estate at all times shall ever remain an inspiration."—Nahum D. Brascher. The nation shall be calm in this hour of great distress. Men die but God lives. The nation's loss is the Negro's loss. We are one with the nation, on with Humanity throughout the world. America must live, Democracy must thrive. It is ordained by God that "Men rise on stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things." Time will make clear Warren Gamaliel Harding's place in history. Our duty is to mourn his loss and emulate his good example of life. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are the faiths upon which the Republic was founded. In this hour of sadness let us aim to realize these bounties of social faith for all the people all the time. Baltimore Divine At St. John's Church Rev. W. H. Dean, D.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR GEORGIA FINDS REMEDY FOR BIG EXODUS IN SOUTH Race Relations Committee Suggests Immediate Suppression of Mob Violence and Better Schools. WILL PRESS FOR MORE LEGISLATIVE BENEFITS Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 9—(Special): Immediate suppression of mob violence and lynching, more generous provision for Negro education and the employment of colored farm and home demonstration agents to teach the people how to make a living under boll weevil conditions were the most important steps urged by the Georgia Race Relations Committee, not only because but also as essential to stop the northward migration of Negroes. The Committee, in session here a few days ago, called upon the authorities to do their utmost to put down mob violence, and all good citizens were urged to stand behind the officers and the courts in all efforts to this end. Attention was called also to the need of giving the governor authority to deal effectively with shefflets, who are delinquent in their duties. The legislature was asked to provide honorously for colored schools of higher grade and each county was urged to build at least one good school of this character. The Committee called attention to the valuable work done by the few colored farm and home demonstration agents in the state, and the employment of such agents in every county was recommended as a means of teaching the people how to make a living under boll weevil conditions. The Committee asked the legislature appropriate $15,000 for a training delinquent girls and also emphasized the need for a state tuberculosis sanitary um for colored patients. It was reported that the woman's section of the committee had secured funds for the employment of staff throughout the state organizing and training groups to look after maternal and infant welfare.

Practically all the other twenty occupants were from the United States. They objected to the presence of the Negro among them, but never the less, the car got under way. A few miles out of Paris the Americans renamed their protests which led to a heated argument, in which the Americans said they wouldn't ride with a "nigger," and the Colored surgeon replied: "I fought four and a half years, during most of which you Americans were not fighting. It seems to me I have as much right as you to go to see the battle fields." The end of it was that the American car and left him by the roadside. The result was a protest to the Foreign Office. The Temps tonight devotes an editorial titled "Prejudice" to the actions of Americans tourists toward black Frenchmen. After expressing pleasure that France sees so many American tourists, the Temps, leading Paris newspaper, says, "We have nothing to do with the attitude which previews in America among her citizens. That is not our business. But this is France, and with us the color line is totally unknown. Our forefathers didn't write the Declaration des Droits de l'Homme (declaration of the rights of man) for us to forget its letter and its spirit. "Besides, our lack of all discrimination against Colored men is not inspired alone by doctrine. We are sincere about it. The blacks, subjects or proteges—they are our compatriots, and we treat them as such. How could it be otherwise when so many of them fought by our side to save France? "That small number of our American visitors who forget that the French Republic makes no differentiation among the inhabitants of its immense Empire, whatever their importance, we hope, regard our black citizens as good as the rest of us. They will not forget that their country also accepted the services of black men in time of need. "We promise in return that when we are in the United States we will obey the dry law which American legislation has imposed on us and expect our visitors to obey our rule all Frenchmen form one grand family, from which none of them is disinherited." Paris, France, August 7—American race prejudice is running into official songs in Paris as a result of the objection of white American tourists to dining in French restaurants to the public without regard to color. The Americans declare that they will have things over here as they have them at home. They want to keep the American Negro in Paris in his place. The ugly stand of the Americans called for the issuance of a communique by President Poincare, during the attention of the prejudice Americans to the public of France and the lack of prejudice. He announced with considerable firmness that if the Americans caused any more trouble, drastic measures would be taken to correct them. Poincare's action was hastened by the protest of the French Neighbors of the chamber of deputies to the unfair attitude of the tourists. These latter are held to have explained that they did not care what the French Negro did, they seldom saw or came in contact with one of them, but they would not stand American groves, such as were kept their "place" at home, being admitted to an equality with them. The American Negroes against whom the topiars are complaining are musicians and others who hold good position and have considerable ability. They are a familiar part of the night life and a part of their work in the early meaning to frequent the white light restaurants of the Montmartre.

News And Church Activities MAKING CITY CHURCH USEFUL MAKING CITY CHURCH USEFUL By REV. RICHARD H. BOWLING Pastor, First Baptist Church church can do to help its community is what is being done at the First Baptist Church of this city, if you will pardon the personal reference. In addition to the average church activities we offer the community a free employment reun, a kindergarten, a nursery, certified milk for babies, a weekly ministers training class, and a home for the aged. None of this work is done merely for members of this church or for the denomination to which it belongs. We aim to serve the people whose needs face us on every hand. The prepositional church should be careful of just two things. First, watch mounting expenses, putting on only so many features as can be carried without undue strain. Second, let not the application of religion choke out religion. Keep fresh in mind not so much what is being done as why it is being done. In His Manuscript, the author new venture is made. "In His Name" must be the watch-word when the novelty wears off and the doing of the thing becomes routine. All this is but another way of saying that evangelism and thoroghing religious instruction must be kept foremost. A church is not primarily a place for dispensing milk or caring for babies; a church is a place for folks homes. A church is a place where men find God.

Its building is usually so constructed as to provide quarters for regular religious services, evangelistic campaigns, entertainments and social gatherings, civic meetings, educational lectures, and conventions of a cathedral or religious nature. The church who is a building is not not made use of in behind the average successful city church. So communities are their rendering of this service that it often goes unnoticed by both critics and friends of the church. M. The church further serves the community by the training he trained man who serves it as pastor with the understanding that he will not only fill the pulpit but will actively engage in every movement designed for community up- A service of like kind is rendered when the church discovers and trains the men and women of right spirit who head and man every successful philanthropic enterprise. Such people, the product of the church, give ideas to college and business, to business, to people like the church, to every human undertaking. What would we do without the church in the midst of our cities? She supplies the workers, she keeps them keyed up under the grind. And let it be further understood, the church is the channel of the large gifts of money, which is needed to be successful prosecution of movements for community betterment. Working Together All things considered, the city church is a very useful institution. But our problem is how to make the average city church even more useful. The solution for the problem is meeting unmet needs. This does not mean that the church is to refuse to co-operate with other churches in work in the community. The c church ought to give wholehearted support to its allies, for that is what these uplift agencies are to the church. The Y. M. C. A, the Y. W. C. A, day nurseries, homes for the aged, the city almshouse, the jail, public playgrounds, public schools, and schools for the elderly, working for better housing, sanitation, health, education and morals church members should betrayed into the idea that they are working out their religion when they engage in forwarding the work of these organizations. The church is not training workers for the building up of a city church, for the building of a better world. Facing Facts. This leads us back to our main thought, meeting the community's urgent needs. First, we must find out the needs of the community, the community's careful survey by the local, the specialist, or some wise church leaders will reveal what these needs happen to be. Some of the things to be watched for are the following: Where and how does the community know what are the educational facilities what provision is there for the children of working mothers, what about the availability of work, what are the housing and sanitary conditions of the locality, etc., etc. Remember that every need found by some agency already existing is but an opportunity for the church to make itself more useful. Successful White Church As to how the individual church is to be opened, the opportunity is to be decided by that church after much careful and prayerful study. I city the cases of a few well known churches just to show that different churches have different problems but that every problem can be solved, if the church has the courage to face it. The Bastist Temple of Philadelphia found that there was no provision in that great city for the education of underprivileged young men and women who had to work during the day. It started a night help meeting this crying reed. That night fort has grown into the famous Temple University which runs classes now both night and day and ministers to fully seven thousand students a year. That same church found that there was no one reliance on the existence of the city, in fact, of the very church. The church was located. It began announcing itself as the Thanksgiving host of the children of the vicinity irrespective of class or race. And now for upwards of thirty years more than three thousand children of every class and color of the spacious auditorium at Thanksgiving to sing and pray and give thanks to the one God who made them all. The Sharp Street Method d's Church, colored, of Baltimore found that there was no decent amusement resort in its neighborhood and that there was no adequate provision for the housing of unmarried women working in the city. Under the leadership of its energetic pastor, Rev. Dr. Dean, this city is very beautiful and commodious community house. Dormitories are provided for women, reading and rest rooms, and a social hall where wholesome amusements may be enjoyed. A Local Example Another example of what a GRACE P. E.

He motioned him in singing "I don't know what I'd do without the Lord." At 3:30 the choir rendered a musicale. The Grant Street Hollow Church choir under direction of Mrs. Beaulah Riddick rendered excellent music for this service. The combination of the two choirs presented rare music. B. Y. P. U. held service at 5:30. The evening prayer meeting was conducted by Mr. Burden. At 8 P. M., Rev. Boddie preached in service for Mark 15: 2-5.

At night Rev Billips preached one of the greatest sermons this congregation has ever heard from the late Rev. Lassiter, of Elizabeth City, N. C. will preach at the morning and evening services. Invitation To Join The Sunday School During these strenuous times thru which the nations are passing and in the solution of the serious problems now pressing before the people, men need the spiritual guidance and direction provided in the Sunday school. He is subject to hovel in faith, associate with evil companions and live among those devoid of high ideals without deteriorating into the conditions by which he is surrounded. An alert young man if he is of the right calibre, will remove himself from such an atmosphere and give the Sunday school a chance to draw out the better side of his being. He will be needed daily here in Norfolk, where men who once gave all of their time to idleness and dissination, but who have HARLEM TRAINING SCHOOL FOR WOMEN NURSES IN CONNECTION WITH HARLEM HOSPITAL, NEW YORK, N.

Miss Ellen Mather said she stole "for a whim, just to see how easy it was." Christopher Bowling, an unsophisticated Harvard student known to his classmates as the Virgin, meets Beatrix Marley, a beautiful color red girl of Boston, and accompanies her home. Her beauty overwhelms him and he takes her unawares with a kiss; for which he is invited away from the house. ABOUT a week after Bloody Monday night Mr. William Reese of Harvard was calling upon Miss Beatrix Marley of Boston. It was his fortieth call, for it was impossible for him to keep away from Beatrix. Will was a bright fellow. He had come down from Exeter with an excellent record for scholarship and his instructors expected him to do wonders at Harvard. For the first six months of his freshman year he came up to everyone's expectations; in the mid-year examinations he made some of the best marks in his class. But in the latter part of March he had gone to a party; and there he had met Beatrix Marley. It had been his good fortune to escort her to her home. Starting as her escort he had ended as her slave. When the final college examinations took place in June Will barely made the sophomore class, and those who had never known the spell of Trixie Marley seemed Will of loitering through college.

"Indeed, indeed," said Miss Mauley, ironically. "Yes, said Will, "and it's right in line with what I've been saying. The latest is that the Virgin does not even know a man from a woman." "What do you mean?" "Oh! that know that girls don't believe that any man is averse to kissing, but the Virgin would soon show them, that they'll ever let them get nearer enough. "You were going to tell me the latest joke on this Virgin of yours," she said. "Why we had the class fight last Monday. Bloody Monday Night you know. Well, some freshman dressed in woman's clothes and mixed in the fight. He must have known the Virgin was green, for he waited till the Virgin was near him in the scrimmage and then imitated woman's scream. Of course the Virgin's the soul of chivalry, so he downed freshman to teach a dozen freshman to teach a called woman's side. He picked her up and carried her to a side street out of harm's way. Then the supposed woman punched him in the ribs and let out a course misunderline it. It happened that he knew the Virgin; they had gone to high school together in Newburgh, where the Virgin comes from. I suppose that is why he picked the Virgin to try his trick. The Virgin went up to the fellow men in Holfoyne Hall and they afflicted Newburgh till two clocks in the morning. The Virgin had never been up so late before, so he overheard and missed in his morning testimony. First time he missed a lecture before he first came to college." "Well, I declare!" said Bentrix Marley. "And the Virgin" continued Will "was so chagrined that he wouldn't talk us about it at first, for he knew him in for a kidding match. But Phil Wodre had seen the whole thing from a distance, not knowing it was a man, so he told the gang that the impatient Virgin had been hugging a girl on his square. Then the Virgin had to tell himself for fear of losing his reputation." Will ended his story with a prolonged burst of laughter. After a moment of wild-eyed surprise Beatrix Marley joined in, laughing longer than Will, but for reasons he knew nothing of. "Decidedly," said she, "this Virgin of yours is a case. It must be a great thing to know him." "I'd bring him to see you if I could not drag him. But it's no use. We worked on him for a year ad he wouldn't budge." "But sooner or later the right girl will come along." "He wouldn't know if she did. He has a great reverence for women. He's like ice, I've seen pretty women make eyes at him in a street car, but he wouldn't crack a smile." "So you think he's ice," said Be.

Tell me some of the college gossip. I know there must be some. What's the luscious joke on some of the boys, or any of them? An that moment, girlly boy you need to tell me. "Oh said Will, boyishness." "you mean the virgin, Chris Bowling." "Yes," she said, "the Virgin; the one you said was girlproof." 'Oh, the Virgin's always good for a joke; there's always something on him. He's so unsophisticated, you know, and asks such simple questions—simple in the better sense of the word, I mean. 'And if I remember rightly he's a great scorner of girls' 'No, oh no,' said Will, 'it isn't that; if anything he's a worship-ship of women. He has such revences from them that he worships from afar and approaches that if ever, with a prayer. Why he wouldn't talk love to a girl if the Supreme'Court ordered him, to do it. 'Oh, he wouldn't?' 'And I almost believe that the day he kisses a girl the world will come to an end.' "It hasn't yet come to' an end." smiled Miss Marley. "And he hasn't kissed a girl pected a woman wished to kiss yet, said Will, "I know it seems the Virgin as we do. If you know the Virgin as we do. If you know the Virgin he'd take the next train out of town. As for the fanciful idea ADDRESS "What do you mean?" atrix, thoughtfully. "My opinion is that this Virgin is a tinder-box. No, he's worse than that, He's like the volcanoes of Iceland, covered with thicknesses of ice; when he finally grushes his affections will pour out like lala." "You may be right, said Will. You have a keen intuition about probability he will not erupt, but if he does, I surely want to be around to see the performance." "Perhaps you may. For all you know that girl might be right in Boston or Cambridge now awaiting for destiny to strike her in the shape of Mr. Christopher Bowling." "I don't know a girl in Boston or anyone more close," said Will stoutly, "that the Virgin look at her, unless, "that girl be Miss Beatrix Marley." "No," she said, demurely, "such power is beyond me." "Not beyond you, Beatrix. Any man on earth would give years of his life for your favor. You know Beatrix, you've known ever since you thought of nothing and no one else—" "Oh, my, my, my," she interrupted. "You're getting uninteresting again."

AGENTS WANTED SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY OFFER SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1923 RACE CONFERENCE MEMBERS CRITICISED Objection To Personnel of Committee On Arrangements in Some Quarters. (Special To The Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C., July 30—The severe criticism with which the naming of the committee on arrangements for the "All-Race Conference" has met, is forcing an enlargement of that committee. The announced purpose of this conference is the solidification of the heterogeneous groups within the race. The proposal met a hearty reception until the names of the persons constituting the committee on arrangements were made public. Charges were made that this committee was hand-picked composed of self constituted leaders who were not representative, and that the movement itself gave indications of being extremely factional. The conference is being ostensibly sponsored by Kelly Mell, dean of the junior college of Howard University. Membership on an enlarged committee is now being solicited at an initial cost of five dollars each, and persons to whom a circular letter is being sent are requested to mail their checks to obn. E. M. Harnay, the institutional representative for E. M. E. Mell on this committee. The letter, signed by Dean Mell as chairman and James L. Neill as corresponding secretary, is as follows: "We beg to request the use of your name as a member of the enraged committee of the All-Race Conference. It is not only your name that is solicited but your active interest and cooperation. Membership on the committee carries with it full rights of participation in the proceedings of the conference. The number of the committee is requested to contribute five dollars to help defray the expenses of the movement. Kindly mail check to Prof. John R. Hawkins, treasurer of the committee.

Eddie Hunter, leading comedian with the "How Come" show, entered an agreement recently which we think will be the means of bringing him even further into the limelight and the movie being previews the foundation for a brilliant career. Mr. Hunter signed up with the Victor people to make records and immediately enlisted the aid of Alex Rogers, who will write the lyrics, the music of which will be furnished by Luckeyth Roberts. Hunter is as near to Bert Williams as any colored comedian ever came and with the material from the pen of Alex Rogers we predict that the comedian will come into his own. The style of work as done by Hunter will be greatly enhanced with the kind of material Rogers will prepare for, for him and this means that at least on the records we will have another Bert in the near future. Miller and Lyle in their new show will hit the road on or about August 6. The experience gained and the ability of Flourney Miller warrants us in predicting that they will come before the public with something out of the ordinary and something which we are all looking forward to with pleasurable anticipations. No stone will be Officials Secur Concessions Eastern Maryland, Virginia Divisions Hold Co Shore Hotel and Enlax The Eastern Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina Division of the National Association of Colored Fairs held a mid-summer District Conference at the Bay Shore Hotel, Buckroe Beach, Va., July 31st, for the purpose of taking up the general plans and progress made for the 1923 fair season. The museum was held by Dr. H. L. H. Love, Raleigh, N. C., president of the National Association and Secretary of the Colored State Fair at Raleigh. Dr. Love is just recovering from a recent nervous attack and owing to his feeble health after opening the meeting called on Atlyt. W. H. Land, Norfolk, Va., to preside. The various plans of the different Fair Associations comprising the division was taken up and it developed that the plans for the 1923 fair season have been made on a broader scale than before in the history of fairs, which has been made possible through the co-operative method of the National Association. Among the new innovations to be seen at the fairs this season will be an all colored carnival with colored concessions which has been made possible through the formation of a circuit by the Nahefits.

A DEMPSEY-WILLS BOUT IS WAMTED Wise Ones Don't Look With Faver Upon a Match Between Firpo and Dempsey. (By The Associated Negro Press) New York City, N. Y., Aug. 2— The fans are hot under the collar here for a Dempsey-Wills bout. The Firpo match doesn't look good to the wise ones. While they admit that the big Argentinean has a dangerous punch if it lands, they says he's got to land it first. Hence there has gone up a big howl for the substitution of Wills for Firpo. The "Black Panther" is up in the country quietly going through light training stunts and getting into conversation with the believer that he has better than a fighting chance to lick the white champion. "Win or lose," he says, "I want to get the thing out of my system. I believe I can whip him. Many of us think that he is only a flash and truly lacks class. Anyhow if he fights me and comes out the winner there won't be much doubt about his class. From what I know about his fighting doubt I think he's got brains and a lot of skill. He would win in a fight with me. I don't believe there is a first class fight in him. I am certain I can lick him."

He is a steward winner and a good sport. He is a former player, being with Chappi Johnson and his Norfolk Team a few years ago. The New York Boxing Commission appears to have been taking lessons in the art of drama. Fighting playwrights are told that suspense sustains interests. This has been the cardinal rule of the New York Boxing commission for some time. It ought to have it down and it ought to have it up, orizing an equally important article which deals with climaxes. So far there hasn't been any. Either under Muldon or the enlarged commission performance has a way about it nevertheless. It got out from the importuntils of Harry Wills and his manager by the naive announcement that since there was according to the promoter, he for a Dempsey-Wills bout the commission, could do nothing just now. Later, maybe they said. Harry Wills, resentenced to Chelsea docks for another decision bout with incoming and outgoing freight must not be blamed if he starts throwing merchandise overboard. He certainly can not be expected to tell whether he is coming or going after the various trick steps that the commission has engaged in with his pugilistic future as the takeover Dempsey must fight. Dempsey must fight Wills and why should Dempsey fight Wills? So said the commission in rapid succession. How all three mandates can be obeyed is a mystery. The latest little buck and wing dance is the best of the lot because it is so obviously designated to dodge the issue, if the commission had ruled that Wills had precedence over Firpo, as as a Dempsey match is concerned, promoters a plenty would have bid for the bout. But a Dempsey-Nirpro match already signed, unless a promoter possessed the gift of second motion, it would be hardly worth his while to gamble on a commission credited with as many form reversals as the present one. "Duke" Slater former great football player of University of Iowa made his debut as a boxer and lost his first match on August 2nd. He was knocked out by battling Walker a white heavyweight in the second round. We don't always succeed at first. We hope he has better luck next time. WILLS STICKS TO PADDY MULLINS Says he is satisfied with old Style Manager in Pugilistic Game Who Has allys been His Friend. After all the noise that has been made because many thought and still think that Mullins does not make enough noise and thereby makes it more difficult for a Wills Dempsey bout, Wills will not give me the ways that several years back he was broke, flat, when he was out of a job, when an addition to the family necessitated some money, he Wills found a friend in deed in "Old Paddy Mullins." Without asking for collateral, Mullins advanced several loans to get him over the tight place and he told the big Colored fighter, who is now challenging Jack Dempsey, he could pay it back when he got it and he needn't be in a hurry to get it. For that reason, Harry Wills is sticking to Paddy Mullins and insisting that Paddy got the manager's cut of the purse that he may get for fighting the champion. The "coyotes" of Broadway have been tumbling over each other trying to steal Wills away from his friend and manager. They point out that Paddy is a man of the old who considers his word as good as his name, the words of others as the senses. The argue that Paddy is too easy and that if Wills had an aggressive manager he would have had a shot at the title before and would have been "better off" by about a quarter. He argues that Paddy is too easy to toil at the title before and would have been "better off" by about a quarter. To all of whom Wills replied "Paddy and I are goin' right along together. He suits me." It is being said that Wills has not been fighting enough, that he turned down an offer to fight George Godfrey on the milk show that he has turned down $200,000 and other matches because he was afraid of losing a match with Dempsey. "We haven't turned down an offer without a good reason," Wills said today. "I didn't want to go on in a preliminary bout of a big show because I felt I was better than some of the men in the main bouts. I never turned down any big offers with any of the contenders, because no such big offers were made. "I want to fight Dempsey because I think I can win the title." Guests At Hotel Dale Cape May. N.

The Independent Order of St. Luke is a remarkable organization, and Mrs. Maggie L Walker, the soul of the organization, is a remarkable woman. It looks like we are to have another coal famine the coming winter. The anthracite coal owners and miners have failed to agree on the working conditions and graft they are to get out of the public and a tie-up of the anthracite coal industry is threatened. There is something radically wrong with our industrial system when such things can happen. The Independent Order of St. Luke is a remarkable organization, and Mrs. Maggie L.

There is something radically wrong with our industrial system when such things can happen. --- The National Colored Republican Conference, in session at Atlantic City, N. J., adopted resolutions demanding our "just dues" from the Republican party, among other things. But parties seldom give just dues simply on demand. Just dues not backed by thorough organization and leadership, and a rank and file not looking for graft, seldom give any just dues. Lack of organization and venal political leadership are things we have got to get rid of before we can get any just dues from political parties. Big farming, which requires a big foreign demand for surplus production, is ruining the farming industry of the Nation. The small farm is going out of fashion and with it contentment with farm life. People do not take to farming when it becomes labor at small wages and a hand to hand existence. Big farming, like big manufacturing, exhausts the resources of the country and makes wage slaves of the workers, while enriching the few, disgust the many and make them dissatisfied and restless by the lavish display of their wealth. This is the basis of social discontent, which is always a menace to established government. Senator Oscar W. Underwood, of Alabama, just back from Europe, speaking to a joint session of the Alabama legislature, in response to a resolution by the legislature asking him to be a candidate for the Presidency on the Democratic ticket, of course, announced that he is a candidate. He said among other things that he could not understand why a Southern man should not be a candidate for the Presidency. We have observed that when a man wants anything he is unable to see why he should not have it. He believes in strict Prohibition enforcement and the League of Nations and is opposed to the Republican tariff system. If the South is to have the Democratic nomination it should go to Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia, who would stand a chance of being elected.

When the Regular Pastor Vacates The difficulties that beset a popular pastor cannot be well understood or appreciated by the congregation, and certainly not by one not a churchman. Rev. Richard H. Bowling has been telling us in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE about some of these difficulties, in his "Problems of a Pastor," but we doubt if he appreciates fully just how much disappointment and often downright disgust is felt by the congregation which "turns out" to hear a sermon by the regular pastor and finds a substitute sitting in the pulpit writing to "carry on," altho he has told us what he thinks and feels about it. The substitute may be a travelling brother or superintendent or even bishop, whom the congregation has never heard of, and, if so, he has the time of his life to "catch and hold the congregation," simply because they did not come out to hear him, but the regular pastor, and are prejudiced against him on that account before he begins to preach. And there is much the same feeling against a substitute preacher unannounced, although he be a superintendent or bishop. The successful pastor has built up his congregation, or hold it together when he has succeeded to it, by his own force of character and abilities as a pastor, and his congregation does not think any sort of substitute can take his place and give the satisfaction he can. Of course, the regular pastor needs a rest now and then, and should be given it, but it is possible that the congregation will never be so educated as to accept a substitute preacher who "just drops in" as anything else than an infliction from which they should have been delivered before it was imposed upon them.

Better Treatment of Our Women The group of persons in the United States which deserves more credit than any other for growing steadily in the moral virtues and developing steadily a stronger and better character is that composed of Afro-American women. They have been the most defenseless of all the American groups to the weakness and temptations that undermine character and corrupt morals. They have not had the respect of white men, and do not have it now to the extent that they should, and their own men have not placed them in the position of respect.

We are justly proud of the splendid work women have done in the building of homes, supporting and building churches, and in maintaining the work of teaching in the Sunday public schools.

The Suggested Park Site There is no need of uneasiness on the part /illa. Heights citizens as expressed in letters ten by two residents of that section and lished in a recent issue of the Norfolk ger-Dispatch, protesting against a sugges- made in a letter previously published in news and signed "Interested Odyssey." There is no need of uneasiness on the part of Villa Heights citizens as expressed in letters written by two residents of that section and published in a recent issue of the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch, protesting against a suggestion made in a letter previously published in that paper and signed "Interested Onlooker," that a certain plot of land near the Heights be purchased by the city and converted into a public park for colored people. There is not much likelihood of the city placing a park devoted to the use of colored people in or adjacent to a white residential section. Negroes themselves, have not entertained seriously that it might. What they are most concerned about is getting park facilities, leaving the selection of a site to be worked out after the movement to provide them gets under way in earnest. But what puzzles and humiliates colored people most is the facility with which the objectors can bob up whenever and wherever a suggestion is made that something be done for the betterment of the condition of Negroes. It doesn't matter where it is, or what is suggested, whether it be a park, hospital, bathing beach, school, church, residence or whatnot the objectors are ever there if they see color in it. Their objections take various forms and various reasons are advanced in support of them, the most common of which are: proximity to a white district; funds proposed to be expended on it being needed for improvements in certain white sections; a waste of money; not needed; curbing public expenditures, and a hundred and one other reasons all of which, when reduced to their plainest meaning are just undisguised manifestations of prejudice. Among us are numerous good white citizens who are alert to conditions pertaining to colored people and are ever ready with a suggestion for ameliorating those conditions, but, unfortunately, to every one of these fair-minded persons there are one hundred objectors, who would be pleased, it seems, to object to our being anywhere on the map, and who have succeeded very well in driving thousands of our relatives out of this section of the country and are making it mighty hard for us to remain here. It is well that the city owned the land upon which the new school for colored children is being erected for some time previous to the time to build was carnely considered, otherwise it is quite probable that the objectors would have killed that project. And it would be a good suggestion for the municipality to take a cue from this incident and increase its ownership of unimproved land and reserve it against the time when municipal improvements are to be projected. This would, in a measure, obviate the matter of having to attempt to placer a certain class of stock objections when public projects are under consideration. One of the Villa Heights residents, after protesting against the suggested site on the grounds of its proximity to a white district, particularly emphasized its nearness to "our Lafayette Park." During the days between 1917 and 1918 white orators told us repeatedly that this was "our country." Each echo from Flanders Field caused them to repeat louder and louder "this is our country, for which we must make common cause." What we did is history. But now, even the suggestion that our might be made to include a park for colored people near the one that white people have appropriated for their exclusive use is protested as an outrage. Oh, God of the ages! how long will men mock Thy Christianity and contemn Thy religion?

It is better for to have their own organizations the sur get the benefits of the Farm loan banks prescribed by the Government, and to expert advice, even if they have to pay f and they will have to be educated into or suffer. It is also better that our farmers should have co-operative marketing associations of their own rather than depend those of the whites, if they are to get the results for their produce.

Death of President Harding This week all races, groups and classes people who make up the Nation's citizens have bowed their heads in mourning over the death of Warren Gannauil Harding, President of the United States. Afro-Americans, who have never failed the Republic its bereavement nor in time of its peril, have poured out earnest expressions of sorrow.

Death quickens our realization of frailty of human nature, and permits us charge to that frailty most of the mistakes which the flesh is heir.

Spirit of The Press Colored Park From (Norfolk) Leeder Dispatch. While all familiar with conditions in Vil Heights are aware that there is no need whatever in the recent suggestion that a par for colored people be established in that section, no doubt exists in the minds of the who have studied the question that a par for the members of that race should be provide in some suitable location. The Villa Heigh suggestion must have been made jocaciously for the place mentioned is all in white territory and there would be no chance of its ever being considered for the purpose. But there should be a park at some appropriate place for the colored people. Some 40,000 of them make their homes here and the places in which they can enjoy recreation atew. This is a matter which may well be taken up for consideration by the city at its earlier convenience. Proper amusements and recreation have a far-reaching effect in making good citizens.

For a Structure of Racial Peace From Greenbore (N. C.) Daily News. Kluckerism, fend, murders, lynchings and all sorts of fantastic villainies are so frequent and so spectacular in the south that too often they conceal from view the fact that the force of order and decency also are quietly ma shaling. Little attention has been paid by the public to the meeting in Asheville of the Commission on Inter-Racial Co-operation; yet the work that was reported at that meeting offer the most promising road to escape from the horrors that pessimists foresee. The meeting of this commission is the standing negation of the assumption that every point of contact between the races holds the menace of friction. It is proof of the possibility of calm and reasonable consideration of their joint problems by intelligent southern white men and intelligent southern Negroes.

It is proof of the possibility of calm and restraint, and their joint problems by intelligent southern white men and intelligent southern Negroes. A live issue soon dies unless its fed-up on hot air. There is only one safe way to get rid of enemies die young. The trouble with the long crime wave is, it is too often reprimanded with short sentences. A Chicago judge rules that, laughing at policemen is not a crime. Probably on the theory that a merry heart doeth good like a medicine. Strange new insect is destroying cotton, says a headline. Maybe its the migration bug. It will not be at all easy for the northern sketches to assimilate the southern brother, his religion is too simple. One paragrapher offers the well-known Ten Commandments as an entry for the Bok peace prize, but couldn't the first alone turn the trick? Because there were only 15 lynchings during the first six months of 1923, would you say material is getting scarce down South on account of the migration North? Henry Ford's popularity as a Presidential candidate, indicates that, aside from being the root of evil money leads as an object of popularity. It may be assumed that any phase of the hospital situation with which some Negro editors do not personally agree is liable to impress them as rank propaganda. The Public Pulse Shall the Government Surrender to Alabama? It was at Birmingham, Alabama that the late President Harding made a famous address not long ago, in the course of which he made certain statements that did not meet the approval of a large number of Negroes who believed he was coming to Southern sentiment. In it, Harding, a politically suggested that colored men should "scatter their trade" or in other words, emancipate themselves from being political slaves. The white people of Alabama and the South generally regarded the speech with much of the feeling they received Mr. Tatt's famous Georgia declaration that as long as Negroes would be appointed to a Federal position over the protest of white men," or words to that effect. With the life of Booker T. Washington dedicated to the task of creating substantial men and women of the race to the avenues of industry—Tuskegee Institute stood out a beacon of hope. When a few Negro soldiers returning from the war raycry's preservation, and a site for a hospital for the sick and wounded was sought, Tuskegee, with its large holdings, graciously tendered the Government ground for its erection. Already a famous institution, because of its wonderful one, one would have thought that this would be a stage for conduct, that for sheer inconsistency and shamefulness has no parallel in the country. With an Alabama law forbidding white nurses to attend colored patients, on the statue books of the State, the Ku Klux Klan terrorized the Negro personnel of the hospital where some were forced to flee forthwith. This led to low ships and bed sheets, paraded through the ground, silent, yet the effect of the sinister brigade had the desired effect—to prevent Negroes from administering to their own! The question now is whether Alabama is to supersede the Government at Washington, or whether the latter will surrender. We know that the friends of law and order and consistent public decency. If a branch of one part of the Government will become paralyzed on account of a lot of people who jim crow and discriminate against colored people, why in the name of God do they want to oversee a Negro hospital, exclusively for Negroes? Already, it is not reason, but it has, it is not apparent to the people of Virginia. Hampton never would have tolerated one moment this outrage and this and other acts of certain people in the South is one answer why Negroes are leaving for other states. The spirit of the South will return before its tardiness becomes an irreparable tragedy. J. M. HARRISON. August 7, 1923.

Saturday, August 11, 1923 Foot Notes To African History (By THE HAMITIC LEAGUE) If you have ever gone to High School, there is no doubt but that you have made the acquaintance of Brother Euclid. The chances are that you have caused him many a time softly to yourself and wish that he had never been born nor thought of. The fact is that Brother Euclid was the founder of that delightful branch of mathematics known as geometry. While the principles of geometry were worked out thousands of years before baby Euclid opened his peepers on this great world of chicken and cheese, it was he who first brought all the odds and ends together and made it science. History doesn't know just when the stork delivered little Euclid or where, but it knows he flourished about 280 B. C., and that he was born somewhere in Africa. He became a famous juggler of numbers and angles and other sorts of things to give you headache and brain fog. In his day the city of Alexandria was the most noted seat of learning and thither hied Euclid. Mr. Ptolemy Lagus the king of Egypt asked brother Euclid to explain to him the why and wherefore of his knowledge. Euclid started teaching him and Ptolemy got so many headaches that he went to the hospital; then wasn't some vray a surgeon could operate on his cranium and crum the knowledge in. “There is no smooth asphalt road to learning,” replied Euckey, and his saying has been famous ever since. Euclid gathered great gobbs of fame and it wasn't long before he had so many pupils that the city police thought he was leading a mob around. He wrote “Elements of Geometry,” he wrote “Data,” “An introduction to Harmony,” “Phenomena,” “Options,” “Catopicas,” “The Division of Surfaces,” “Porions,” and a whole lot more teasing tomes that keep you mauling the dictionary to find out what they are all about. Brother Euclid was sure some persimmon on the tree of knowledge and his fame will last to the end of time. Just don't ever forget that he was a jigg. Good Publicity DR. A. GOLDMEER HIGHLAND PHARMACY Most of the folks who come into the store think that a drug clerk is the same as in a grocery store or behind a ribbon counter. Seeing him sell small articles and front store stuff gives them that idea. The public doesn't see the pharmacist do his real work behind the prescription screen. If they could they would have a better idea of his profession. They apparently think, if they think of the matter at all, that the pharmacist fills a prescription like a grocery clerk or just weighs the things called for and then that's all wrong. If they did that the morbidity statistics would out-jump Fingly-Wiggy stock. DRUGS ACT LIKE FOLKS No, the common idea that a pharmacist compounds a prescription like a grocery clerk putting up an order is all wrong. Some common drugs, innocent by themselves, form deadly poisones when carelessly used. Even if a poison did not form a mixture, the resulting concoction would probably be offensive to taste, smell or sight. EVERY DRUG HAS A STORY One wouldn't expect to find romance in a smelly prescription department, but to the pharmacist it is there. Each ingredient has a story to tell, if one stops a moment to think. The very odors breathe of tropic lands and strange far places. Drugs come from all parts of the world, from the animal, the vegetable and the mineral kingdoms, from the very fishes of the world, from the long prescription the pharmacist sometimes gave, and the history of each ingredient. Perhaps it grew in South Africa, or India or the West Indies. Natives gathered the crude drug and packed it to the coast, where steamers received it, to bring it to the big laboratories in this country. There the drug is assorted, and assayed. Chemists, biologists and assayed. Chemists, biologists and assayed. Assays its active principles, and check on each step of the process from crude drug to finished The Whatnot Column BY ROBERT P. EDWARDS (For A. N. P.) 25—What became of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus? The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, in Garia, built in 350 B. C., and torn down in 1402 A. D., was the fifth wonder. The Mausoleum, of which was custom of the Kings of Garia, had buried his sister, and when he died his sister-wife erected this magnificent monument to his memory. On a platform at the top was a stone chariot, within which stood statues of Mausolus and his spouse, Artemasing. An earthquake shook the chariot from its position in 1402 which was the same year the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem took Hakeim and to trow down the mausoleum, using the stones to construct the fortress of St. Peter. 26—What bank was awarded 1st place in the 3rd U. S. Liberty Loan drive? At the close of the Third Liberty Drive, the United States Treasury Department awarded first place among all banks of the country to a Negro Bank, the Mutual Savings, Portsmouth, Virginia. This bank was given a quota of $5,700 to raise. A total of over $100, 00 almost twenty times the stipulated quota, was raised by the Liberty Bank this bank assigned $13,000. It raised $115, 000. 27—Who was Jeanne Pierre Boyc? ? After the betrayal and death of Toussaint L'ouverture, insurrection blazed anew, and coupled with yellow fever, the ranks of the French were so thinned until they were forced to capitulate to the dauphins Haitians. Leaders vastly different to Toussaint rose in Haiti; first Dessalines, who styled himself Emperor, the Christophe, who chose the title, King. But in 1820 Emperor was opened by Jeanne Pierre Boyer, Roi de centenured himself with a republican presidency, and ruled intelligently 'til 1843. He was virtually the founder of the Republic of Haiti. ^28—Who was Charles Henry Turner? Charles Henry Turner, Ph. D., who died recently, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1867. He received his early education in that city, receiving the degrees of B. S. and M. S. from its University, also receiving the degree of Ph. D., from the University of Chicago. His work involved to science. He was a well-known biologist, neurologist, psychologist, and mathematician, making many important discoveries were published in the foremost scientific magazines of Europe and America.

That finished product has to conform to all the strict requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia. Think a moment of what it would mean if the drugs were not standardized. Many of them are so powerful that less than a grain difference between life and death. The crude drug varies with differentiments, with different specimens in the same shipment. Unless every ounce of the finished product was assayed and standardized tragedy would result. Your physician knows the action of the drug. He does those necessary to accomplish his purpose, but if the drug itself is over or under standard strength all his calculations are vain. PHARMACIST IS RESPONSIBLE PHARMACIST IS RESPONSIBLE You are ill and go to your physician. He gives you a prescription, which you bring to the druggist. That medication simply contains the names of the drugs, the quantities, the dosage, and the directions to the patient. The pharmacist's problem and responsibility to properly compound those drugs so as to get the best results. It is his responsibility to see that you get pure drugs of standard strength. It is even his responsibility to see that you do not get an over dose, a dangerous dose, or the physician made a mistake and put it back. Under the law the pharmacist is equally responsible for the results. Your physician depends upon the pharmacist to supply pure drugs properly compounded. If he doesn't the physician's work is wasted. The pharmacist in turn must depend upon the drug manufacturer to supply him with pure chemicals and drugs. These three, the physicist, the pharmacist and the manufacturer are links in a chain and the chain is no stronger than it sweatsest link. If any of the three break faith with the others, then it is you, the patient, who suffers. That is the responsibility of the pharmacist. He is more than a clerk, a seller of candy and toilet articles. He is a professional man, a scientist, and in his hands is life and death, even as in the hands of the physician. Have you ever that of him in this way? IMAGINATION IS AID His imagination helps him to be a good pharmacist. Each prescription to him is a story. As he stands behind the prescription counter, mixing and compounding, he can see the homes to which the prescription is going. The drugs called for by the prescription tell him what the doctor is working for; for he knows their action. And while he compounds the prescription he sees the child with the whooping Norfolk Journal and Guide ON SALE IN PETERSBURG RICHMOND WASHINGTON BALTMORE PHILADELPHIA NEW YORK PITTSBURG BOSTON TOLEDO SOUTH NORWALK, CONN.

"Your drugstress is more than a merchant." That is the slogan of the drugstress' association. The public is beginning to realize the truth of this and to co-operate with him.
