A SQUARE DEAL This government is based upon the fundamental idea that each man, no matter what his occupation, his race, or its religious belief, is entitled to be treated on his worth as a man, and neither favored nor discriminated against because of any accident in his position.—Theodore Roosevelt. VOL. VII-NO.14 DOCTORS HAVE PLAN TO END SUFFERING OF PATIENTS SAY REPORTS COPENHAGEN—A bill which would authorize physicians under certain conditions to take the life of a patient without incurring punishment has been introduced in the Danish Parliament by Minister of Justice Steincke. According to the old law, the taking of a patient's life at his special request came within the designation of murder or manslaughter. The Steincke bill says: If action is undertaken in order to release a hopeless ill person from severe and inevitable sufferings, punishment may be waived under extinguishing circumstances. A wise provision. Many old, helpless incurable persons, suffering the tortures of the damned, haven't the nerve or have too much religion to commit suicide, and yet they daily drag through unspeakable misery, because the doctor prolongs instead of shortening their lives. Life has far too much suffering and many people now are wise enough to realize that God is neither blamable for their condition nor responsible for the indiscretions that caused it. "As ye Sow, so shall ye also reap." MARRIAGE OF MINORS ATTACKED IN ILLINOIS CHICAGO.-Casper L. Redfield, famous scientist of Chicago, has announced an educational campaign to have the state legislature prohibit marriage under the age of 21. In a statement to the United Press Redfield said he had been making his investigation for almost 50 years and hopes that every state legislative body will enact laws against wedlock for minors. "Last year there were 3,000 marriages of couples under 15 years of age." Redfield said. "From this class come the principle part of our criminals, paupers, it is legal for 12-year-old girls and 14-year-old boys to marry. "Chicago's crime wave would not have reached its present peak if marriage laws had been passed in Illinois 20 years ago." To prove his theory that many of the most distinctive men of history were born of parents well along in years. Redfield names Sir Francis Bacon, Charles Darwin, James Watt, John Wesley, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, and Henry Ward Beecher. The investigation has brought another genealogical phenomenon, he declared. "The great agressive war leaders have been the sons of young fathers, whose fathers before them were older men. Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte and U. S. Grant are among them," he declared. In his research Redfield has found that the eldest child is lighter in weight, dies at an earlier age and is more apt to become a criminal than any other children in the family. He who cannot sleep finds his bed badly made. Direct Personal Appeal An advertisement in the Tribune is a direct personal appeal to Colored people.

WE ORIGINATE—OTHERS IMITATE PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10. 1925 METHUSELAH REACHED RIPE AGE OF 969 YEARS SO SCIENTISTS REPORT WASHINGTON—The theory that the ancients made their years far short of the regulation 365 days and that therefore Methuselah was not 969 years old when he died, was attacked here today by Prof. C. S. Longacre of the Church of the Seventh Day Adventists, a teacher of biblical exegesis. Referring especially to an analysis by Prof. Russell T. Crawford, University of California astronomer, who, he said, had recently placed Methuselah's age at 80 years. Prof. Longacre said that if it were true that the ancients reckoned their years by monthly cycles, Adam was 77 years old when he died and only nine when Cain was born. "If Prof. Crawford has trouble believing that Methuselah was 969 years old when he died," said Prof. Longacre, "what is he going to do with Enoch, Methuselah's father, by making him only five years old when his son was born, according to Prof. Crawford's own monthly cycle computation. How can he reconcile the record in Genesis, the seventh chapter, where it says the flood came in the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, and further states that the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days." In the eighth chapter of Genesis it says the flood prevailed five months, proving that the ancients reckoned thirty days to each month. "All this shows that the ancients knew all about days, months and years and that the same number of days were in a month then as are in our month now." FORMER ST. LOUIS PASTOR EXPELLED FROM CHURCH NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Rev. D. D. McGhee, a former pastor of St. Louis has been discharged from the Southern Methodist Episcopal church as results of a case growing out of his activity with the Ku Klux Klan in using his pulpit and church for distributing propaganda favorable to that organization.

COLORED GIRL WILL TRY TO PROVE TO A JURY THAT SHE IS CAUCASIAN COLORED GIRL WILL TRY TO PROVE TO A JURY THAT SHE IS CAUCASIAN WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.,—In an effort to prove that she is white, Mrs. Leonard Kip Rhinelander, the so-called-white-colored girl who married into one of New York's oldest and richest families, has instructed her attorneys to send envoys to England and other countries to trace her father's ancestry. This information was brought out during the first day of the hearing in her husband's suit for annulment of the marriage when her attorney, Samuel F. Swinburne, applied for $4,000 counsel fee and $350 a month alimony. The case is before Supreme Court Justice Arthur S. Tompkins. Leon R. Jacobs, the husband's counsel, told the court that Rhinelander is willing to support his wife during the pendency of the action and was willing to give her counsel a sufficient sum to combat the issues. It was brought out during the hearing that Rhinelander had an income of $18,000 a year from his estate. It was also claimed that Mrs. Rhinelander had reapeatedly told her husband during his courtship that she had no Negro blood.

M.—A case was brought up in the district court here Monday, involving the restriction of colored boys and girls from attending district schools with whites. Eight colored families filed a petition asking the abolition of such conditions. G. W. Malone, Negro attorney of Albuquerque, took charge of the case for the plantiffs. The seperation of Negro and white students has been carried on since the beginning of the fall term at which time its practice was begun. The growing contempt of the Negroes for such a situation finally terminated in the suit now on docket. Members of the Las Cruces union high school board, the board of county commissioners and County Superintendent Lena B. Sexon are named in the complaint as defendants. WHY WE URGE, "BE CAREFUL!"

Ladies Skirts Again Will Be Shortened According to Latest Authentic Reports CLEVELAND, O.-The National Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers' association met here yesterday and approved style recommendations for next spring and summer. Skirts as an average will be worn ten inches from the ground and in extreme cases fifteen inches. Sprightfulness of style as well as of color emphasizes the new spring creations. The slenderizing silhouette continues the foundation for the new season's styling. Many new variations in the cut of garments are introduced, including the tunic theme and circular cuts, but in all cases the garments are worn so as to achieve the straight line, slender type. In sport coats the mannish cut will be strongly evidenced. The shorter length skirt will have its influence upon the styling of new spring coats, which will be somewhat shortened in length. Materials will be soft, at least in coats, and a number of new shades will be worn, including rose ash, woodland brown, tiger eye, golden oak and many new blues, greens and tans. WHITE WOMEN OPPOSE NEGRO BATHING BEACH WASHINGTON, D. C.—Possibly no single movement in Negro life in America has received more varied protest than the tentative plans for the establishment of a bathing beach for Negroes at the Tidal Basin, a short distance from the New Lincoln Memorial. At first Negroes from all parts of the country raised a loud protest against the plan, terming it a "Jim Crow" movement; then various white organizations complained about the nearness of the beach to a similar one for whites; and now the matter has been taken up by the various clubs of idle-rich women (white) in Washington. Mrs. John B. Sherman, president of the Federation of Women's clubs (white) has written to Secretary Weeks, denouncing the plan in scathing terms. She says in part: "I want to protest against such a procedure. This is not a question of race, but a question of keeping the beautiful for Washington, the city of the whole people of the United States." HOWARD YOUTH STABBED IN CRITICAL CONDITION WASHINGTON, D. C.,—Clifford O. Smith, 21, of Hartford, Conn., stabbed in the lung in a freshman-sophomore melee, following an interclass debate at Howard University, was said to be in a critical condition in Freedmen's hospital. The outer covering of his lung was punctured. Smith was a graduate of Hampton in the class of 1923. He was a prominent candidate for quarterback for next season's team at Howard. Walter Miles, sophomore in the college department is being held at the Eighth precinct station. He is said to be responsible for Smith's condition. According to custom, a rush is in order after the annual freshman-sophomore debate. The debate, to decide the resolution. "That the Negro Should Form an independent Political Organization," led to a warmer clash than usual between the sophomore adherents of the "regulars" and the freshmen, who would imitate the "renegades." The freshmen, having won the debate, the sophomores' attempt to settle the question by a demonstration of physical superiority resulted in the stabbing. FORMER PARTNER NOW OWNS SENTINEL GARAGE H. H.

These are needed to the growth of our lives without wealth there can no leisure, without leisure there can be no thought, and without thought there can be no progress.—Booker T. Washington. 10 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year BLACKS OF OKLAHOMA TRY TO IMITATE STYLE SOUTHERN BRETHREN HENRIETTA, Okla.,—Across the main street of Boley, an exclusively colored settlement in this state, appeared the warning: "White man, don't let the sun set on you." The sign was ordered removed by federal authorities who threatened to discontinue the postoffice of Boley unless the order was obeyed. In ordering the offensive sign removed from the street, the federal officers pointed out that it might be necessary for white officials in the postal service to visit Boley, and it might also be necessary for them to remain over night in the line of duty. It was also explained to the citizens that such signs were unwarranted and a menace that could only tend to keep alive the racial antagonism that would but result in injury to their community. It is said that the sign was the result of high feeling among members of the community over the attempted arrest of John Owen, City Marshall of Boley by Sheriff R. H. McKinnon (white) who charged Owen with election irregularities. This incident was followed by a rupture between the races resulting in the arrest of five colored men who appeared in court charged with inciting colored against the whites and held in $1000 ball each. Ball was furnished and the men are at liberty until the trial. WIFE EXCITES HIS RIGHTEOUS WRATH PHILADELPHIA, Na.—Becoming enraged at his wife with whom he was alleged to have been quarreling the Rev. G. L. Jones, so called, of 927 South Fifth street, fired at a policeman who came in response to Mrs. Jones' cries for help. It has not been learned how the quarrel started. However, it was brought out that the Rev. Jones was giving his wife a terrible chastisement. Her cries for Help! Police! Murder! attracted the attention of Patrolman Benbow. The preacher started to beat a hasty retreat and was followed by the officer. Jones fired twice at the approaching officer, the shots lodging in the officer's clothing, but not touching his skin. It was necessary for the officer to wound the preacher in the arm and leg in order to bring him to cover. The wounded preacher was sent to the Pennsylvania Hospital, where he refused to tell the cause of the quarrel. He will be given a hearing on a charge of aggravated assault and battery and attempt to kill. The Rev. Jones has no church. WHAT CARE WE!

THE NEW YEAR The year 1925 is with us, and marks a new epoch in the history of our lives. The old year has witnessed some glorious victories and some sad failures. Perhaps the New Year will be but little different. The New Year will mean most to those who put into practice those commendable traits, pluck, energy, industry and economy, and the spirit of good fellowship in Christ. The bad things of the past should be forgotten. Experiences which teach us to live better lives during the new year should be remembered. The great hindrance to our advancement, things that should be left in the old year, are selfishness and envy. Remember that selfishness and envy will always keep us, as a people, down in the rut. He who takes all and gives none, must pay the price in the end; he who hates will never be further than hatred. Envy kills its parents; envy keeps us down. Cease to do these things and practice brotherly love, then the New Year will mean much to all of us. The year 1925 is with us, history of our lives.

Agatha the whistle sounded, evidently from the entrance to the tunnel. "I reckon that's him." he said grim BENNETT YONG "I'll Play the Game," He Answered Shortly. "I'll Play the Game," He Answered Shortly. (ly. "Now what is it between us, 'Kid' —peace or war?" Kelleen thrust his revolver back into his belt. "T'll play the game," he answered shortly. CHAPTER XVI With eyes long accustomed to the darkness the two men could perceive shadowy objects in the outer passage, where little shafts of daylight penetrated through the tangle of concealing foliage. The walls of the tunnel were gray-tinged and darker objects—one perhaps the dead body of Manuel Gomez—shapeless and grotesque, littered the floor. Meager, evidently feeling full confidence in this new alliance, moved forward, while Kelleen followed, still suspicious, and alert for any treachery. If Garrity came there alone he would take the chance; if not, then he would fight the battle out there in the tunnel, asking no quarter, and giving none. Meager stopped, his huge bulk almost blotting out the light. "That you, Con?" he asked anx- "Come inside and I'll explain; just drop over that ledge; it's only a foot or two to the floor. You came alone?" The fellow did not answer, but no one followed as he clambered across the barrier of rock. Apparently he could perceive nothing when once within, except the dim, shapeless figures awaiting him. "Two of you, eh! D—n, but it's dark in here! That you, Manuel?" "Manuel is dead." explained Meager briefly. "He's been killed." "Dead! Killed!" The judge pressed his body back against the rock. "What do you mean, Bob? Then who is this other fellow--Sanchez?" Kelleen took the matter into his own hands. "I'm the 'Frisco Kid.'" he announced calmly, yet with one hand resting on his gun. "You know me, and that it is all right. I'm in on the deal, that's the only difference." "Now, see here, Garrity," broke in Meager gruffly. "It don't look to me as if there was anything else we could do. The 'Kid' got onto this himself. We both know he's all right, and under these conditions he ought to have his share. H—l! if he don't, I reckon we won't any of us get any. Besides, there's only the three of us left—Manuel and Sanchez are both dead. And say, 'o you know what 'Frisco' says he believes this d—n tunnel is?" "This tunnel? the cave, you mean?" "Sure; he says it's 'Alvara's Lost Mine'—and, by G—d! man, if it is, then maybe it's worth millions of coln." Garrity made no response. Kelleen could not discern the expression of the man's face, but was suspicious that his hand rested threateningly on the butt of a revolver. The fellow was treacherous, unscrupulous, miserly even in crime, capable of any act to assure his gain. There was only one safe way of dealing with him—the way of force, the heavy hand. Yet he would make one more endeavor. "Well, Judge, "Kelleen said quietly, "how do you like this plan?" "I'm d—d if I see why I should divide up with you." "You are rather dull this morning. Garrity. I haven't much of a reputation for wasting words have I? No doubt you have heard the "Frisco Kid" knows how to shoot when needed? What more explanation do you want? I'm in on this deal, or you are a dead one—that's all. Now say which it is." No man could have doubted the deadliness of Kelleen's meaning. Garrity knew the border code far too well to hesitate. "Of course you're in. I—I only wanted to understand." "You've got it clear enough now, but we'll play safe. Your friend Meager here is unarmed, and you will be far better off without a gun—throw it over into that corner." "And leave you free to murder us both—" "Sure, if I decide it's best. Only I don't usually do business that way. You have heard plenty of stories about me, but no one ever said I shot a man treacherously. If you two play square there is no danger; but this is a case of two pitted against one; either one of you would cut a throat for a five-dollar bill. I'll give you a minute—throw away that gun!" He stood fronting them both, the two between him and the stronger light. His face was emotionless, but the voice speaking was crisp and hard. The two knew him only as a desperado, a border renegade, a man whose willingness to kill had been proven. There remained no choice. Garrity, growling forth an oath, flung his revolver into the dark corner savagely. "Frisk him, Bob; I'm taking no chances this time—a knife, hey! Rather an ugly tool, Garrity—do all judges carry them? Yes, throw it over there along with the gun. Are you sure that is all? Now, Garrity, turn about is fair play; try your hand on Meager—stripped clean, is he? Better feel inside his shirt; imagine he is a prisoner in your court. Good! Now, I reckon, we are in fair shape to discuss business together. First, gents, let me say this—I haven't the slightest objection in the world to killing both of you on general principles. know your style, and I'm going to make the present situation perfectly clear. Both of you are d—n rascals, capable of any dirty devilry. You'd kill me in a minute if you only had a chance. I don't propose to give you that chance, for I know what my life is worth, and mean to protect it. I happen to need you just now alive, and, if you obey my orders, and answer my questions, you'll go away from here alive. If you don't, you'll be buried here—do you get that?" "You mean to kill us anyhow after you find the loot." "No doubt that's your idea. That is what you would do, and you have me ticketed in the same class. Well, that doesn't happen to be my plan at all. In the first place, you've got me labeled wrong. I'm not really after the loot; I'm after you. Do you get that, Garrity? Menger here is just a common thief; he's a brute, and therefore dangerous, but a d—n, sneaking coward. All I care particularly about him is to save a woman—" "What woman?" The surprised question burst from the other fellow's lips before he could restrain it. "Deborah Meredith, the woman you forced into marriage with you. But Garrity here has been the evil genius of this border for the last ten years. There is no crime he hasn't had a finger in. But no one could catch him red-handed. Now I've got you both—got you good and hard. I'm going to bring you in, dead or alive—but alive if possible." "Who the h—l are you?" burst forth Garrity, his face beaded with perspiration. "My name Is Kelleen, a captain of 'Good G—d! then you're not the Frisco Kid'?" "I'm all the 'Kid' there ever was." Kelleen admitted carelessly. "That party was simply manufactured to order; here is where he ends his desperate career. I would have kept the secret awhile longer if I could, but perhaps it is just as well. Now we understand each other. Garrity, and the very best thing you can do will be to answer my questions." BENNINGTON YOLO "When did you first learn that Gomez was hiding out in this neighborhood, Garrity?" he questioned suddenly. "Six months ago. I saw him in Nogales." "Privately?" "Yes; we had some deals together before." "Paid you for protection, did he? What did he want this time?" "Provisions. I was to get him out grub at night; leave it at a certain spot. That was all." "He didn't tell you where he was hiding out?" "No, but he had plenty of money. I didn't get much information out of him; he never did trust anybody. The authorities had run him pretty close. I reckon; anyhow, he was all alone, not one of his gang left. When I couldn't find out anything more, I got Meger to come up here." "After the older Meager was killed?" "Sure; that gave us a chance." "I see; the papers were all in your possession; not above doctoring them, were you?" "What the b—l is that to you?" What the h— is that to you? "Not a great deal to me, perhaps, but of some importance to a couple of women I know—one of them a friend of mine. Old Tom Meager left an invalid widow, whom you fellows have, I believe, robbed systematically, and then there is the girl Bob forced into marriage. You didn't suppose I knew about all this, I imagine—well, I'm going to get to the very bottom of it before we are through. But just now I want to use the two of you. We'll and out between us just what Manuel did have hidden away in this hole. Line up there against the wall; fact about the other way! Now listen: I've got both guns, my own, and the one Garrity threw away; they are cocked and within three feet of your backs. I can't possibly miss you, and if ye make one move, except as I tell you, I'm going to let drive. Are you ready." "Ready for what?" "To do as I order. All right, then; light that lantern, Meager. Now there is plenty of light for me to see you by at this distance. Move forward slowly—Garrity, you keep your hand on the wall; and you, Menger, take hold of Garrity's sleeve; now don't forget; if you do it's sure fatal. Go on slow, a step at a time." They advanced some ten or twelve steps down an opening scarcely wide enough for the two to pass abreast. Kelleen's gaze wandering from the backs of his prisoners to the gray walls on either side. The light flickered, yet revealed no opening, until they came to the very end, and fronted the solid rock. Even then, for an instant, Kelleen failed to perceive the narrow cleft to the left beside Meager, but the latter, excited by the discovery, thrust the sputtering lantern for BENJAMIN BURGESS "Look There!" He Cried Excitedly, ward, holding it at arm's length, above a rough stone slab which half barred the way. "H—I's fire! Look there!" he cried excitedly, almost dropping the light. Garrity craned his neck to see, both men so wild at the sudden discovery as to lose all thought of everything else. Even Kelleen, revolver in hand, and fully awake to the danger of his position, pushed forward far enough to gain a partial glimpse within. Meager started to climb over, but the judge stood motionless, breathing hard, his hands gripped on the stone, his eyes glaring about the oddly shaped room, probably originally a cavern formed by water, but enlarged by the efforts of men. The whole apartment might have measured fifteen feet by ten, barely high enough to stand erect in, the walls varicolored and sparkling in the rays of the uplifted lantern. At the farther extremity lay a pile of debris, scattered rock and powdered stone, as though resting just as they fell after an explosion, the entire end almost totally covered. Protruding from this pile, clearly revealed, now that Meager had found footing inside, and held the blazing wick higher, was the white, ghastly skeleton of a man, his bones still covered with bits of ragged cloth. Caught by a falling rock, he had been pinned there helpless until he died. The three men scarcely saw all this, or gave it a thought, for there, immediately in front, and all about them, unarranged, scattered in heaps, lying where they had been thrown carelessly over that outer barrier of rock, rested the miscellaneous spoils of thousand robberies, the sack of churches and towns; jewels torn from women's hands, silver and gold, rich booty of crime from midnight raids, and the burning of cities—the hidden treasures of old Manuel Gomez. It was unbelievable, staggering. What suffering, what death, what cruelty and torture did these things picture! And wealth—wealth! Who could even calculate its value? Bloodstained, crime-gotten, the fruits of fifty years of outlawry, here was gathered, in one vast heap, wealth to make the mind of man helpless to grasp its value. Garrity, digging his fingers frantically into the stone, unconscious of what he did, his eyes blazing with sudden, uncontrollable madness, dragged himself over the barrier. He had lost all reason, all fear; with mad cry he gathered up into his arms all that he could grasp—golden crucifix, chaliced goblet, a great silver link glittering with pearls, a jeweled bodice blazing in the light—laughed like a friend as he hugged them close, then staggered on in wild ecstasy, a string of oaths breaking from his lips. Something tripped him and he fell, his arms flung blindly out; a gripping hand struck the lantern from Menger's grasp, flinging it, still blazing, a half-dozen feet away. An instant there was silence, a mere flicker of light which shot along the floor as though on a trail of powder—then a glare and roar, a blast of flame, a report as if a thousand cannon had exploded; and utter darkness. CHAPTER XVII The Finding of Gomez The little squad of cavalry moved up the creek bottom with much caution. The rangy young lieutenant, exercising his first independent command, was determined to neglect no precaution. Deborah begged for haste, but the officer remained adamant, and, at last, in despair, utterly wearied, her mind in a chaos she rode on listlessly beside him. Kelleen must be dead; she dare not even dream anything else. She had heard the shot, seen the burst of flame, caught sight of his toppling body plunging over the edge of the cliff. The men who shot him had no doubt; they had fired to kill, believed they had killed; and gone away satisfied—Bob Meager and the Mexican. She shivered at the memory of them. Her husband! that murderer her husband! He could claim her, would claim her if he lived; legally she belonged to him. The ceremony was sacrilege, a hideous mockery, yet it was legal, legal; it left her forever in the power of that brute. She shuddered at recollection of that scene in the ranchhouse, the leering, drunken faces, the sharp voice of Judge Garrity, the brutal grip with which Bob Meager held her, those hateful words which bound her to such unspeakable shame. And then the struggle to save herself; the hours of torture waiting for his coming, the broken door, the clutch of his hands, the hot, drunken breath on her face, the blow which set her free. Good G—d! could this all be true! The fresh night air, the escape through the black night, the meeting with Daniel Kelleen. He had been a man, a real man; he had died for her. Unchecked, unnoticed the tears welled into her eyes, and fell on the saddle pommel. She could see nothing but his face, realize nothing but that they were riding now to bring back his body. She had almost known before that she loved him, but now, in bereavement and despair, she comprehended that all the brightness and hope had gone from life. She yet lived, must continue to live—the wife of Bob Menger. It must have been nearly noon when the little cavalcade debouched from the bed of the stream, forced their jaded horses up the bank, and came to where the riders could look down into the half-concealed valley below. Advance scouts awaited them here among the rocks, to point out the trail, curving downward through a ravine. They had discovered no signs of recent passage, no marks of hoofs; nor were there any signs of human presence in the lower valley. The leutenant studied the scene through his glasses, yet vaguely suspicious of some trick, consulted with the sergeant, and finally spoke to Deborah. "This must be the place," he said, "but it seems deserted. Do you recognize anything?" "Who are you?" asked a noarse voice sternly. "Stop there until you answer." "My G—d, sir!" was the instant cry. "I'm Carney, Sergeant Carney, Captain. We've come here for you, sir." The threatening revolver sank weakly, and Carney and the lieutenant, oblivious to all else, rushed forward, circling the two dead bodies in their eagerness to reach the one live man beyond, held helpless in that fall of rock. Deborah, left in the darkness behind, groped her way forward, dazed, speechless, only one fact echoing in her mind—he was alive, Daniel Kelleen was alive! She dropped to her knees, and drew his head into the comfort of her lap, her hand smoothing back his hair. There were glistening, unshred tears in her eyes, and he saw them. "No, I got away," she explained hastily. "They did not see me at all, and then God guided me to your men." "I know part of it—Meager told me." "Bob Meager?" her heart choked her. "He was really here with you, then? What—what happened? Can you tell me? they will have those rocks dug away in a moment." "Yes, yes, he was here, he and Garrity—the judge, you know. They—they are both in there now, buried under tons of rock. I-hardly know what did happen; it all came on us in a flash. There was a tunnel in here, a room, where old Alvars had been mining years and years ago. He must have died there all alone, for I saw his skeleton on a pile of stone. Then those two went in—Meager and Garrity—with a broken lantern. I—I think one of them fell, and—there SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1925 After cleaning all mud from the auto running boards with soap and water, wipe them with kerosene to remove the grease and oil spots.

Autofobiles should be safer at Automobiles should be safer at railroad crossings than horses, be- cause they do not become fright- ened and are better controlled; but the opposite seems to be the case. An experienced driver of horses describes the proper meth- od of approaching a railroad crossing as follows: “Gather up the reins tight, take out the whip and bring the horses to a walk.” An experienced automobilist ad- vises: “Always go into second speed.” The method is precisely the same in elther case. The driver has absolute control, can stop or go ahead as conditious demand, and is alert to the situa- tion. If all drivers would but adopt this simple rule and adhere to it faithfully the problem wouid be solved. What a saving there would be of priceless human life, of grief untold, ambitions wrecked and hopes lost forever!—W. B. Story, President Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway System. The new programs of the church call for new workers and better workers. Their discovery and prep aration is the preacher's task. Hap py the man who has an eye for tal. ent, Twice happy the man whose appeal is so earnestly winsome that none can turn from the call for service. Happy and blessed Indeed is the church under such leadership Such a people will have wise teach: ing, spiritual development, proper training, helpful fellowship and the Joy of harvest, - Tipping also started with barbers. For bleeding and other small surgi- cal service they had no set charges, but left payment to the customer. In England others took up the cus: tom.

WARD CO. 1S ANTI-UNION CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—Organized bakery workers correct a statement circulated in the east that the War. bakery corporation has signed an agreement with this union in the middle west and along the Pacific coast. “Any and all products of bakery goods, bearing the name of Ward in any shape or form have at no time been mare anti-union and unfair to organized labor than at the pres- ent time,” ‘says the Bakers’ Journal. Fireplaces almost identical in structure with those of modern date have been found in Pompeit, Pacifists and militarists alike will regard with interest the announce- ment of a marriage in Kansas where a young man named Makepeace was wedded to a young woman named Trempsey.

The dark figure on the floor assumed vague outline. ‘The two men in the lantern glow came to a halt, thrusting the light forward, peering at the object which had at- tracted them. The Mexican identified it first ina sudcen ery, “It’s a body, a dead man,” he ex- claimed. “He has been killed— Manuel!" = ‘Meager held back, the coward’ grip- ping him, but Sanchez bore the lan- tern forward, desperate to learn the truth. His startled volce came down the passage. “Tis not Gomez,” he erfed, “and no face I ever saw before. Perhaps you know the man?” “No; but there has been a fight, or ‘& murder—see, he has been shot; and In the back, by G—d! Gomez must have done this job. But what has become of the old devil? And who was this kid? What was he doing here? See if there is anything. in his pocket, Juan. Give me the lantern.” He held it up, as the Mexican dropped to’ his knees, and began to rummage through the dead man’s clothes, The increasing daylight of the desert found entrance far above, and stole down the narrow passage In ‘@ faint, ghastly glimmer, which only added to the ghastliness of the scene, The strain was too much for Meager’s nerves, and he swore gruflly, “Come on,” he sald fiercely; “bring the light. We'll search every Inch of this d—d hole.” Kelleen turned, his first impulse bping to escape, to rush toward that dim glimmer of light now plainly njarking the cave entrance. Yet the futility of such an effort eame to him instantly. ‘There was‘a better, way than that, and he whirled back to face them, as the two came cautiously for- ward, the glow of the lantern glimmer- ing like a red star. The hand with the weapon in {t fell to a level, and he fired, the glass flickering Into a thou- sand pleces, the light instantly extin- guished. Kelleen’s plan of action had formed swiftly in his mind. He had a glim- mering of what this conspiracy meant, but must learn more, Only one method was possible—a confession from Bob Meager. ‘The real seeret of this tunnel was in his possession, now that Manuel Gomez was dead. He must be made to talk. ‘The advantages in this encounter were altogether on his side, He knew them, where they were; they possessed no knowledge of his exact position, who he was, or whether they faced one opponent or a dozen. They had been taken completely by surprise, startled by the sudden attack, con- fused In the darkness, He had both of them absolutely at his mercy. ‘The silence was intense after that first startled second. There was no movement, not even the sound of breathing audible. ‘The two stood mo- tionless, crouched back against the wall, peering into the blackness from whence that tongue of flame had leaped into their very faces, yet re- vealing nothing. They could neither think nor act. Who had fired—Manuel Gomez? some enemy who had trapped them? Were they facing one man, or a dozen? Into what had they blindly walked? Confident of his own safety, realizing that he had the whip hand, Kelleen smiled grimly, every nerve tense, his revolver poised. ‘The situa- tion pleased him. “Drop your guns, both of you!” he commanded sternly. “Quick now! I've got you against the light.” “Who the h—I—" . “Stop that! Drop them, or I shoot something besides a lantern, It's a hair trigger I'm playing with.” ‘He heard both weapons fall to the floor, Meager cursing tmpotently, but the Mexican silent. Kellen laughed. “Kick them away from you—that's right! Not bad fellows when properly : m sa { LAVAL AANA oa handled, I see. Now up with your honds, and back against the wall there.” He could not see the fellows, not so much as an outline of them, yet knew they obeyed the order. It was a bluff which worked because they half be Heved themselves silhouetted against that distant gray bar of light far down the passage, targets not to be easily missed. That cool, stern voice, unfamiliar in the echoing tunnel, meant business, rasped like a steel file on Meager’s nerves, “By G—d! Who are you?" he snarled savagely. “What the h—1 do you want?” “The first is of ne importance, Mea- 5 BEAUTY HINTS Sa aT oe ek ak ee Oe !

The second is to investigate.” If the other car is driven by an intoxicated person or by someone under driving age, make a note of the fact. Note the license number of the other car, and whether the skid tracks on the Pavement showed defective. brakes. The tracks usually will show just where the brakes were applied and exactly how the crash happened. Don’t trust to your memory; make penciled notes of the whole. affair, especially a sketch of the place where the accident happened, - Ia this way you will have a complete diagram for your auto club's legal department to work with, You, the driver, are not the only’ one who should do this.

Keep your mouta shut, It your car is insured, report the accident to the place specified in your policy, and report ft im- mediately. Of course it is not easy to do all these things in the excitement at- tendant upon an automobile accr- dent, but if you don’t it will be a ten to one bet that you will lose your case and not collect one cent of damages. Often each party will think the other to blame.

The jury is often moved by preju- dice or sympathy.

M.—Anyhow you can see the real form, and you know just what you are going to get when you marry. O. M.—That's the reason there are so many divorces.

M.—Yes, I've heard them talking; I'll say they know all about love. That's another cause of divorce. You don't have the pleasure of teaching them. You may think their knowledge comes from a correspondence school. Maybe it does, but on that score please class me with "Doubting Thomas." Y. M.—Well, they "sure is wise."

I kiss her lovely cheeks, her sparkling eyes, and slip the honeyed nectar from her bright, red, juicy lips; lips that even Venus would envy. You know colored girls have the finest lips in the world. O. M.—That's what's the matter with you. I have noticed how puny you have been looking for some time. Y. M.—Why, what's wrong with me? O.

He can make a friend of traffic policemen on the corner, the one he passes every morning on his way to work or on his way home in the evening. He can make a pedestrian in the street say, "He's a good fellow; thoughtful of others." He can make the driver of another car say, "There's a decent driver; I wish there were more like him." Are you making friends? Can you smile at your traffic cop and receive a smile in return? Do you get a "thank you" from a passing automobilist for giving him the road. Does the elderly lady wave her handkerchief at you for stopping to let her cross the street? Try it out, says the Automobile Club of Arizona. CHILD IS BURNED WHEN HE REFUSES TO STEAL PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Because he would not steal for them, two white boys burned little Earl Washington, six years old, of 7415 Susquehana Street, severely about the hands and face. The boys are said to have captured young Washington while he was at play. They took him around to stores demanding that he steal candies and other trivial articles for them. The boys grew angry at the little Negro's continued refusal to steal and while one overpowered and held him, the other lighted papers and placed the flaming brands on his hands and feet. His cries of pain frightened them away only after he had been badly scorched. LINK IN THE FAMILY CIRCLE As an entertainment and educational device, the radio is far surpassing motion picture theaters, dance halls or any other form of public amusement. A new horizon has been opened up by radio to millions of families living in the country, the town or the big city, a new means of culture. The world in its larger centers is offering programs of good entertainment and instruction to people in their homes both by day and night the new marvel drawing families to together. Young and old, instead of wandering idly in search of diversion, can hear an orchestra, a band, a pipe organ, a religious service or a good play, in their own home, be it in a city, on a farm, or miles away in mountains or desert. There are lectures for the serious minded all the way from literature to electricity and specialists give the latest ideas in dress, dancing, gardening or the various fields of scientific progress. As broadcasting stations are enlarged to give better service over wider areas, radio will give still greater service to the nation. HARD ON THE TOWN The conductor and a brakeman on a Montana railroad differ as to the pronunciation of the name Eurelair. Passengers are often startled upon arrival at this station to hear the conductor yell: "You're a liar! You're a liar!" Then the brakeman at the end comes with the cry, "You really are! You really are." HOW ABOUT HIM? One magazine asked, "How do You Hold Your Husband?" and one wife wrote in answer, saying, "I can't hold mine. He weighs 245. COLORED ARCHITECT COMPETES FOR $300,000 PRIZE All California Architects To Enter Contest LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec., 20—(Pacific Coast News Bureau)—Over a quarter of a million dollars is the price to be paid the successful architect, who is awarded the contract for drawing up the plans for the new $5,000,000 City Hall. With the assistance of an advising architect, not residing in the state and whose salary will be $5000 plus expenses, the city will select four architects, not connected with the contest, as jurors. They will each receive a fee of $1000 plus expenses. All the architects of the state will be invited to compete and the winning architect will receive a contract on a percentage basis estimated to be worth $300,000. Only Negro Member Paul R. Williams, winner of the Beaux Arts Institute of Design medal for 1912, and the only Negro member of the American Institute of Architects, is one of the contestants. Williams' entry into the contest has created concern among his many white competitors, due to the fact that he has a reputation of winning all competitions in which he enters. He has won three National and four Western architectural competitions, and recently his design for a Civic Center was accepted by a Western city of 30,000 inhabitants. LEAVE CHILD LABOR President Coolidge refuses to support the child labor amendment to the federal constitution, which would give Congress jurisdiction over labor of all persons under 18 years of age. The child labor amendment advocates will try to force every legislature in session this coming year to submit this question to a vote of the people. Massachusetts and some other states have buried the amendment under enormous negative majorities, taking position that it is a question for every state to deal with. Business organizations, some 40 organizations of manufacturers and about 80 state associations are opposing this twentieth amendment. The federal child labor amendment would create a new department at Washington with an army of officials traveling all over the United States and telling families of good American citizens how to bring up their children and issuing permits bor, and under what conditions.
