CORRECTS MISREPRESENTATION OF ITS UTTERANCES The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 89 Fifth Avenue, New York City, through its secretary, James Weldon Johnson, today made public the following statement on its political utterance with regard to a third party: The misapprehension has spread that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at its recent 15th Annual Conference in Philadelphia "endorsed" Senator La Follette. The fact is, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People did not endorse Senator La Follette, or any other candidate. That is not part of its business. What the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is aiming at is the emancipation of the Negro from voting blindly for any party, and the exercise on his part of intelligent political independence. After reviewing the record of the two major parties, our resolutions unanimously adopted July 1, in Philadelphia had the following to say about a third party: Nothing will more quickly bring the old parties to a clear realization of their obligations to us and the nation than a vigorous third party movement. Such a movement may save us from a choice between half-hearted friends and half-concealed enemies or from the necessity of voting for the same oppression under different party names. Such a movement may give the American Negro and other submerged classes a chance to vote more directly for economic emancipation from monopoly and privilege and a fairer chance to work according to ability and share more equitably in the social income. It is perhaps possible to add that the kind of third party movement we are hoping and looking for did not materialize in Cleveland. But that does not alter the fact that a vigorous, progressive third party, similar to the Labor Party in England would be the Negro's political salvation in America. In conclusion those who wish to know the position taken by the Nation at association for the Advancement of Colored People at Philadelphia, can find it in the official resolutions adopted at Philadelphia and sent out to the press. —JAMES WELDON JOHNSON. Secretary N. A. A. C. P. Mr. and Mrs. Melchia Smith of 818 North 30th Street held a pleasant evening for their friends on last Monday. The feature of the occasion was the blooming of the "Manger" plant, which after its seventh year blooms each year. Refreshments were served and minor games indulged in for several hours. A fine time was had. Cesse Cokes was found guilty of killing Joe Morgan and a jury in the Hustings Court last Monday gave him 25 years in the penitentiary. In order to convict him a convict, serving a sentence of 20 years in the North Carolina-penitentiary was loaned to the authorities here and testified against Cokes, Leith S. Bremner, Esq. brilliantly represented the prosecution. Col. Hiram M. Smith presented an able defense WHISKEY IN CHURCH YARD. When plumbers began dismantling the old sanitary arrangements at the Sharon Baptist Church last Tuesday morning a cache of nine quarts of whiskey was discovered, Rev. R. H. Johnson, the pastor immediately notified the police, who remobed the ardent spirits from the premises. It is not known as yet who the party or parties are who was using the church's premises for storing. The toilets are in the church yard and easily accessible from the street. Sharon is installing a new and mod-sanitary equipment. The Rayo Theatre is closed for the Summer and Mr. B. H. Droste has retired permanently from the management of the play-house. Mr. William Miller, the veteran hotel-man and real-estate dealer spent last week visiting in New York. —Rev. W. B. Ball, 2214-A Henrico Street is still confined to his room. —Mrs. Georgie A.

Mrs. Emma Booker wishes to tender her many thanks for kindness shown by her many friends during the sad hours of her bereavement. SIX PROUD COLLEGES AND WHY. Said Solomon:—"Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall." Still we say it pays to have pride. Our opinion here does not contradict Solomon because we are not writing about the same kind of pride against which the shrewd Hebrew sage warned Israel and the world's unborn. It pays to be proud because one who has pride, places a high value upon his own worth and hence must generally live up to it. Certainly this much can be said about the students of Atlanta University. TWO SAYS I. J. K.— Said Solomon:—"Pride haughty spirit before a fall. pride. Our opinion here d cause we are not writing abo which the shrewd Hebrew world's unbcrn. It pays to pride, places a high value must generally live up to it. about the students of Atlant (By I. J. K. Wells, President A. F. of N. S.—Negro Youth Movement.) (Distributed by Preston News) ATLANTA UNIVERSITY For a good many years a seemingly select student group have enrolled at this Georgia institution. The criticism has been made that only students of pale face extraction enroll there, but those who know better, give a contradictory testimony. As to self-appraisement, however, Fisk, or Howard or Harvard has nothing on Atlanta. The students are conservative and aristocratic, to say the least. Although Atlanta University colors are crimson like Harvard's this is not the cause of the students' pride. It is the achievements to her graduate. Such alumni as James Weldon Johnson, Ben J. Davis and Walter White account for the students' notions. It was at this institution that Dr. DuBois had his rise. His Atlanta University Studies won him his spurs in the Sociological Field. These accomplishments, interwoven with the traditions of this institution shows to some extent why they are proud. In this same city, and in that State of Georgia, holder of world's belt for lawlessness, birth place of the Ku Klux Klan, residence of persecution, on mocker of Democracy, is our fourth proud college. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE Like illies in a stagnant pond is Morehouse College in degraded Georgia. Valuable Morehouse College and Atlanta University, like flowers of nature grow in unwounded places, are the compensations of an all-thoughtful Providence, who thus somewhat softens the name of Georgia, the stigmatized laughing stock of the nation. Happily Morehouse pride does not rest upon Georgia prestige. Morehouse and colleges like it ought to be appreciated for several reasons. They work under greater handicaps. Howard pride was created at the shrine of the nation within sight of the capitol dome. Wilberforce was built in the liberal State of Ohio. Lincoln stands upon the background of the Quakers, and friendly William Penn, while Morehouse students have to struggle against the descendants of the unfortunate prison birds whom James Ogglethorpe brought, from England to give them opportunity in the new world. Irony and sarcasm are outrageously ridiculed to think that such creatures as these would Nordic-ize and elect themselves "one hundred per centers" and crown their ignominy with vile proscriptions. Morehay youth as do our youth of the South blast their path through such barriers and derive pride because they know it requires tested tools to smash granite resistance. Morehouse is seemingly modest. (Continued on page 4) WOMEN WIN BATTLE WITH BIG RAINBOW BOA SNake. Three Bring Alive From British Guiana Jungle First of Species Seen in Bronx Zoo. HANDS ARE ONLY WEAPONS Nine-Foot Serpent Made Captive Just as Women Near Exhaustion— Beebe Expedition Returns. A vigorous rainbow boa, nine feet in length and nearly a foot and a half in circumference, arrived here yesterday on the Trinidad finiter Matura from Geogetown, British Gutana. The snake the first of the rainbow species ever brought here, was captured by three women members of a New York Zoological Society expedition after a struggle in the jungle, during which they sever al times narrowly escaped being entold by the boa's writhing body. The battle with the boa was fought by Miss Ruth Rose, the civivated young historian and technist of the expedition; Mrs. John Tee-Van wife of Professor John Tee-Van assistant to Professor William Beeche. Curator of Grinthology at the Bronx Zoological Gardens, and Miss Isabel Cooper, the expedition's artist. Mrs. Tee-Van is a sister of Frank Damrosch. Professor Beeche was the head of the expedition, and Serge Chetyrkin, a refugee from Russia was also a member. All returned here yesterday. Miss Rose said that she and Mrs. Tee Van and Miss Cooper were in a small camp alone; the men having gone in search of specimens. They were suddenly startled by the piercing screams of native women, who were running, panic-striken. Investigation disclosed a rainbow boa among the luxuriant tropical foliage. "We decided to capture it." Miss Rose said, "We knew that the boa was not poisonous and that if we could seize it by the neck and hold on it would be at our mercy. All three of us jumped up on it together and, the fight was on." WERE NEARING EXHAUSTION. The big serpent possessed unexpected strength hand the struggle was a fierce one. The three women never relaxed their grips, however, and just as they were nearing exhaustion the boa ceased " THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINLA COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES" 1—FIGURES AND FORTUNES. 3—GEORGIA DECLINES (From Fairmount, W. Va. Times) (Preston News Service) THE U. S. BUREAU OF THE CENSUS HAS JUST announced that the Nation's population was 112,678,611 on July 1, 1924, and that eleven cities have grown into the 100,000 class during the last year—a tremendous swelling of human American units, indeed. Concurrently, we find that up North the numerical consequences to Negro population are clearly shown in urban statistics. The Negro increase in New York City from 1910 to 1920 was 66 percent. For several other large cities the corresponding ratios were: Philadelphia, 59 per cent; Pittsburgh, 47 per cent; Chicago, 148 per cent; Detroit, $ 61^{1}$ per cent. Significast increases are noted practically everywhere in the Northland, and the bespeak, indeed, new fortunes for America's dark human content, in religion, in industry, in social stability and progress, and in political freedom Alas, though, these new fortunes are facing some periods of storm in the form of adverse activities of oppression. Already the Ku Klux Klan has announced, at its Connecticut conference, a 99-year period of formation, during which it prophesies the ascendancy of a candidate from its ranks to the presidency of the United States. Lesser evils are also casting their shadows on the horizon of the future, indicating the need of counteracting hours of prayer and a 24-hour day of watchfulness. Will a permanent coalition between the rank and file of Negroes be made, which will disregard territorial lines and cleave only unto world problems? Will Federal and State constitutional enforcement take precedence over the whims of ambitious individuals who would place self upon a pedestal and Race upon an elevator marked "going down?" Will leadership hold a caucus and perfect an organization which recognizes the "majority rule?" These are essentials, we think, in the new fortunes which we are seeking. Our numbers are gaining numerical strength in localities whose past record has contained an "opportunity" plank, and whose future records will be almost as dependent upon our internal virtues as they will be upon the evils of our enemies: It must not be that we shall split asunder intra-racial democracy. Let us look into the mirror of past events and highly resolve to present a clean, fearless front, the perfection of which will be disconcerting to those who, by their past actions, have seemingly misled themselves to believe that there is no God—no justice—naught but SELF! WHEN THE AROMA OF A CLUB DINNER HAS tickled your sense of smell, and the announcement of "First Call for Dinner" has made you drop your newspaper, while traveling on the "Twentieth Century Limited," the "Pennsylvania Special," the "Capitol Limited," or other meal-equipped trains of the country's great railway trunk lines, have you ever stopped to realize that next to the steward of the dining car, the "Eats" staff was composed principally of BRETHREN, to whom the preparation and serving of food is a science, aided and abetted by a sort of a second nature? These railway employees, least thought of, perhaps, are among the principal operatives which guide the discretions of the hungry traveling public. What pride the railroad magnates take in advertising their dining car cuisines. And what chef or wajter would jeopardize a healthy tip by producing anything less than a one hundred per cent creed of Efficiency? Here, though, are some facts concerning a spring month's business on the diners and at the station restaurants of Class 1 steam roads of the United States, largely manned, as we said above, by the BRETHREN: One thousand, four hundred and fifty-eight chefs and first class cooks, and 2,621 second and third cooks prepared savory dishes which 6,099 waiters carried safely on board rocking and reeling trains to hungry travelers. It mattered not whether it was table d'hote or a la carte, they delivered the goods and received, perhaps, a generous tip. As wages for these services, the chefs and first cooks were paid $199,201; the second and third cooks received a total of $250,585; and the waiters signed payrolls aggregating $393,-883. Last, but not least, however, numerically speaking, this faithful corps of "comforters" increased during the month approximately one-half of one per cent. This is encouraging; and it would be even more encouraging if the traveling public and the railroad magnates would increase commensurately in their degree of appreciation for this capable army of railroad employees, who labor long, between cities far apart, away from their families and friends, in protecting the health of the traveler. Their operations are delicate ones, surcharged with jeopardy and calling for special skill. They deserve all they received—and then, some more. "ARKANSAS HAS RATIFIED THE FEDERAL child labor amendment, being the first State to do so; Georgia has rejected it, being the first to do that. Their action invites comparison," remarks the Fairmount, W. Va. Times. "Arkansas, according to the last census, had 18.5 per cent of her children between 10 and 15 gainfully employed. Georgia had 20.8 per cent so employed. Both are near the top of the list of States, making large use of child labor. Their protest practices are not widely different. Why, then the diametrical difference in their attitude toward the child labor amendment? "Mainly, it appears because Georgia puts more emphasis on State Rights. That is a stronger tradition in Georgia than in Arkansas. It does not seem credible that Arkansas thinks more of its children than Georgia to uphold a traditional theory of State government, resenting 'Federal Interference.' A time writhing long enough for them to half lift and half tug it into a large box which had been prepared for such emer gencies. "I cannot see why people feel a hor bar of such boas as this, for its skin is beautiful!" said Miss Rose. "It changes like watered silk in the sunlight and has all the colors of the rainbow." Besides the box Professor Beebe and his party brought back some rare animals, which will be placed on exhibit at the Bronx Zoological Gardens. Among them are a pair of tree percuples, never before seen in the United States. The animals are covered with shaggy, gray hair, beneath which are short, lemon-colored quills. Their claws are long and hsarp enabling them to climb trees. They were discovered by accident on the banks of the Kartabo River, when they wandered unsuspectingly into the camp kitchen in search of food. The expedition also brought back a pair of aronti, or long-tailed rodents. There hitherto have been none at the Zoological Gardens. Miss Rose said the party killed several aronti and ate them, the flesh being most palatable. A yellow-headed vulture was also brought here. BRING RED HOWLER MONKEYS Various varieties of monkeys were included in the menagerie on the Matura, among them a number of red howlers. One monkey—a white faced cobus from Panama named Chirique—made the round trip from New York and will be taken on Prof. Beeber's next expedition. Chirique disliked the glare of the sun, so colored spectacles were adjusted to his nose to protect his eyes. Miss Rose said Chirique appreciated this attention greatly, and chatted amicably with her for hours at a time. He lacks concentration without his spectacles, she added. Professor Beeber also brought specimens of frogs, armadillos and birds. The expedition left here in February. Along the Mazaruvi River it frequently came across motor boats taking men to and from the diamond fields. Miners presented to the women of the party a number of small stones in the rough. Bathing in the Mazurani has thrills unknown at Atlantic City. Miss Rose said, due to the presence in the water of eel cels that frequently sting bathers. ROMANCE AND ADVENTURE. The New York Zoological Society has maintained for years a station in British Guiana at Kantano of which Prof. Beebe is the director. It is elaborately fitted with scientific apparatus and is used by the society's expeditions as a base. President Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt once paid it a visit. "Our time was filled with romance and adventure," Professor Beebe said "Most scientific men are dead and don't know it. They lack romance and merely bring back their specimens without seeing the wonderful things which daily develop all around them in the wilderness." C. P. HAYES Successor to A.

The completion of the million-dollar fund for Fisk University, a higher educational institution for Negroes, at Nashville, Tenn., is first of all a recognition of more than a half century of service to the Negro which this institution, established shortly after the Civil Wra and started by Clinto B. Fish in army barracks, has given in preparing colored youth for leadership among their own people. This new material support, supplementing the recognition of the standards of the university accorded it by the highest educational authorities in the country, puts this university in a position to give a scholarly training comparable with the best in American colleges. But the raising of this fund has a much wider signifiance than the recognition of Fisk Uni. University. It means that there is an awakening realization of the net of thoroughly equipped professional men and women to serve and to guide the massed groups who have left their old rural environment in the cabins of the South. first cooks were received a total of negating $393., speaking, this the month ap- couraging; and being public and curately in their of railroad em- art, away from th of the trav- arged with jeo- ve all they re- FEDERAL do so; Georgia or action invites Times. 18.5 per cent loyed.

There can be little doubt but what the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People acted prematurely relative to its utterances concerning the present political situation and that it "leaned too far backward" in the resolutions adopted at its great annual meeting at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The position it assumed relative to an independent attitude in the coming election would have "passed muster," so to speak, but when it specifically endorsed a Third Party movement before the platform of that movement had been framed or its candidates named, it attempted to anticipate a situation and a condition which might be realized. In this connection, the brilliant James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the organization says: The misapprehension has spread that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at its recent 15th Annual Conference in Philadelphia "endorsed" Senator La Follette. The fact is, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People did not endorse Senator La Follette or any other candidate. That is not part of its business. What the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is aiming at is the emancipation of the Negro from voting blindly for any party, and the exercise on his part of intelligent political independence. After reviewing the record of the two major parties, our resolutions unanimously adopted July 1, in Philadelphia had the following to say about a third party: Nothing will more quickly bring the old parties to a clear realization of their obligations to us and the nation than a vigorous third party movement. Such a movement may save us from a choice between half-hearted friends and half-concealed enemies or from the necessity of voting for the same oppression under different party names. Such a movement may give the American Negro and other submerged classes a chance to vote more directly for economic emancipation from monopoly and privilege and a fairer chance to work according to ability and share more equitably in the social income. Secretary Johnson makes a frank statement relative to the Cleveland Progressive Convention, which tends to clear up all misunderstandings concerning that meeting. He says: It is perhaps needless to add that the kind of third party movement we are hoping and looking for did not materialize in Cleveland. But that does not alter the fact that a vigorous, progressive third party, similar to the Labor Party in England, would be the Negro's political salvation in America. For our part, we see nothing new in Secretary Johnson's statement or in the resolutions adopted at Philadelphia. For many years the colored people of this country have been affiliating and voting with all of the political parties without being particularly "wedded" to any. What we want are results and there seems now to be a combination to prevent our securing these results upon the accession of either of the great political parties to power. The anti-Negro element in Washington asserts itself and as a result, no politician dares to accord to the "brother in black" the political recognition, to which he is entitled. Even the redoubtable Theodore Roosevelt could not resist it and the brilliant Woodrow Wilson humbly bowed to its demands. Can a Third Party, hastily organized win, when the Bull Moose Party skillfully organized could not do more than outstrip the regular Republican organization in the matter of votes and make sure the success of the regular Democratic organization at the polls? COLORED FOLKS PROGRESS: The report of Hon. C. Lee Moore, Auditor of Public accounts to His Excellency, E. Lee Trinkle, Governor of Virginia for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1923 is full of valuable statistical information in such a condensed form that it is made to "speak for itself," so to speak and the distinguished official uses little or no space in making comment or advancing suggestions. Despite the increased migration of colored people North, the report shows some progress in real-estate and personal property values as relating to this particular race of people. Auditor Moore shows that the colored people own personal property to the value of ($15,838,233) Fifteen Million, Eight Hundred and Thirty-eight Thousand, Two Hundred and Thirty-three Dollars. They own real-estate valued at ($53 516,174) Fifty-three Million, Five Hundred and Sixteen Thousand, One Hundred and Seventy-four Dollars. The total value of the property, real and personal owned by them is ($69,354, 407) Sixty-nine Million, Three Hundred and Fifty-four Thousand, Four Hundred and Seven Dollars. It seems to us that this is conclusive proof that the colored people are thrifty and that the great mass of our people are doing all they can do to advance the industrial and financial interests of the section in which they live. CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. Hon. Harry C. Smith has filed his papers as a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination in the Republican primaries in Ohio and with him is George W. Shankin, who aspires to the position of Lieutenant Governor in the same State. Mr. Smith figures that as there will be so many white candidates as aspirants for the position, he and his colleagues have a chance of landing the nomination. We are of the opinion that the immediate effect will be to increase the white vote and that in doing this a line will be gotten in advance as to the size of that vote in the presidential election. Mr. Smith polled sixty-one thousand and eighty-one votes when he was a candidate for Secretary of State some time ago. It is evident that he has the Republican bosses worried. He is one of the ablest colored leaders in the country. He has enunciated a platform that is absolutely colorless and unless some one would previously advise the voter, no one would think or imagine that it was conceived in the mind of a citizen of color. You may say what you will about Marcus Garvey, when it comes to nerve, audacity and genuine will-power coupled with a tenacity of purpose, it must be admitted that he has few superiors, if any in this world today. In view of the official declaration coming from the Republic of Liberia and given out by its American representative in this country, he continues his plea for ships, and save perhaps in the matter of immediate destination proceeds with his campaign just as though nothing had happened. We take it that President King and his advisors had been told that Mr. Garvey and his associates were preparing to dump a ship-load of undesirables upon the shores of Liberia, where they would become a liability rather than an asset to that country. This was evidently accentuated by the action of this country in refusing to grant the five million dollar loan and in barring foreigners from admission to the ports of the United States of America. Be polite and obliiging, colored folks. No matter what other people may think or say, you act in keeping with right principles. We have mean white people in this neighborhood and on the other hand we have some of the best that God ever created and we should be careful not to offend the latter class and wherever possible, cultivate the good-will of even those, who would misrepresent and harm us. People, who are built wrong and who are always in trouble in this "neck of the woods" will find the same conditions confronting them should they migrate to other sections. When colored leaders become far-sighted enough to raise children properly and to see to it that the dissolute elements are looked after to the extent of caring for their off-spring, many of the confusing social and domestic questions will disappear "like frost before the sun." We certainly appreciate the kind words spoken in our behalf by friends throughout the country. If you need furniture call on Charles G. Jurgens' Son, Broad and Adams Streets is the place and the superb line will please you, both as to cost and terms.

THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE, VA., July 30—Sir Knight Pooleinder passed away Wednesday morning, July 23, after a lingering illness. He was a member of the Pythians and St. Lukes, who did honor to his memory. The floral designs were unique and befitting. He leaves to mourn, a wife, three sisters several nieces and nephews and an unnumbered host of friends. He was past three score and ten. Rev. A. L. James delivered the eulogy in a very impressive way. The remains were laid to rest Sunday evening. Funeral services were held at First Baptist Church, of which he was an ardent member. He was a Christian gentleman of the highest type and loved and respected by all men of both races. Though deprived of the literary advantages he was possessed of a marked degree of intelligence and business qualities. The Woman's Home Missionary Convention held at Lynchburg, Va. from July 10 to 15 was a very pleasant one. Those in attendance from Roanoke: Mrs. Verdia Bailey, president; delegates, Mrs. John Brown and Mrs. Cora Davis. The girls from Queen Esther in attendance were, Misses Gertrude Watkins and Elizabeth Jones of St. Paul's Memorial Church. Mrs. W. W. Hicks of Seventh Ave who was hurt in an automobile collision while enroute to Bedford, is afome getting along nicely. She sustained a sprained ankle. In token of the high esteem in which Mrs. Kate Talferoer Boland has held in the hearts of this entire community the Sunshine Club of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church held a testimonial entertainment Monday night in which every church organization was permitted to give expressions of her real worth to Roanoke, Mrs. Boland was an ideal mother to all the children of the town and was loved by young and old. The committee, of which Mr. George Thornton was chairman, selected and presented to Mrs. Kate T. Boland some of the most beautiful articles that could be found in the city; a beautiful music case with her name engraved in letters of gold. It was presented by the Rev. A. L. James, pastor of the First Baptist Church, who praised her with rich encomiums. Rev. W. R. Howerton next presented some tokens from the Sunshine Club and added his deepest regret at her departure. Major W. B. F. Crowell then was presented and being a native of her state, he spoke in most estimable terms of the life and character of this woman from N. C. Mrs. M. F. Howerton also spoke of her meetings with Mrs. Boland in conventions and how she had learned to appreciate her great ability and judgment. Prof. M. Traynham, the chorister of Mr. Zlon A. M. B. Church made the last presentation, a beautiful manicuring set and Mrs. Boland in turn thanked the friends for their kind remembrances. Our prayers go with our sister and friend as she returns to her old home in Wilmington, N. C. Mrs. Lizzie Harris of Brooklyn, N. Y., who came to the city July 7th to be with her sick father, Mr. Alexander Preston, left Tuesday, July 29 for home. Her father is much improved. She also had the pleasure of spending some time with her sister, Mrs. Alice Gilbert, 111 Harrison Avenue. Mrs. J. L. Franklin and Mrs. S. C. Edwards have returned from Columbus, Ohio. They report a very pleas ant stay at the home of Mrs. Benny Wade. (News through a friend from Lynchburg) Dr. R. W. Lomax and family, of 1307 Floyd St. motored to Columbus, Ohio to attend the International Bible Students Conference. Mr. Edward Lomax accompanied them. A great revival was held at the A. M. E. Church at 508 Seventh Avenue, N. E. It was well attended and many professed religion. Rev. L. S. Roberts, pastor and P. E., T. W. Cotton were in charge. It was a spiritual feast. Mrs. Ruth Hurt of Monroe Street, Lynchburg, Va. is the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Hudson of Farmville, Va. Mr. McVain Hudson has recently left his farm at Stamford, Conn. Rev. George W. Pendleton has returned from a most successful district conference meeting of the A. M. E. Church at Staunton. Presiding Elder Isaac Ewer is in charge of that district and the Holy Spirit was certainly with them. Mrs. Epps of Norfolk, Va., who has spent three weeks in Roanoke with Mrs. Rosa Crocker at the home of Miss Maggie Dehaven, of 308 Seventh Avenue left for home today after a very pleasant time. Rev. W. R. Howerton seemed at his best Sunday morning and delivered a very rich discourse in which all believers could find joy and hope for the future. At 3 o'clock the Reverend and his choir and congregation worshiped at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, of which Rev. K. J. Bilips is pastor. It was a splendid service. The service at night was very grand. A fine and logical discourse was preached by Rev. Howerton. Offering for the day. $89. In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother and grandmother, Ludy Burks, who departed this life July 7. She leaves to mourn their loss, a son, daughter, 9 grandchildren 26 great grandchildren and a host of friends. We take this method of thanking the First Baptist Church. Rev. A. L. James and congregation for their deeds of kindness to our dear mother during her six months sickness. We pray that God's richest blessings may rest upon each and every one of you. —Mrs. Virilla Hill and Rev. M. D. Anthony, children. This Week By Arthur Brisbane TAKE YOUR CHOICE. ANOTHER MILESTONE. MERCHANT FARMERS. VALUABLE WASPS. Republicans demonstrate to you beyond the shadow of doubt that La Follette will take his votes from John W. Davis. "Organized labor States will desert Democrats," and "Davis will get nothing but the South." Democrats can prove, if you have any intelligence at all, that La Follette's vote will be taken from Coolidge. La Follette is a Republican, his following is chief among farmers of the Northwest. They are Republicans. La Follette will carry Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, cripple Coolidge and elect Davis. That is what the Democrats say. Civilization continues to pass important milestones. The end of slavery was one. The steam engine was another, the electric dynamo another, telegraph and telephone others. The most romantic milestone is soon to be labeled "Around the World in a Flying Machine." Twenty-five million dollars' worth of grain elevators are included in a big merger that will allow men that grow grain to control marketing. This is one of the biggest cooperative marketing enterprises ever organized. The farmers owning this concern IF they own it, and IF they control management, would have storage for 50,000,000 bushels of grain, in Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, Minnesota, Fort Worth, Texas, etc. Men that produce the wheat, pigs, corn, potatoes, etc., ought to have something to do with the marketing and price regulation haven't managed it yet, but California has proved that it can be done. United States athletes have se- cured the track and field championship in the Olympic games. Those are the most important events, since they indicate possession of the most intense nervous and mental concentration. Running, jumping, etc., mean nothing now except as they indicate brain and nerve power behind the record. This mixed race of ours, which is NOT a "Nordic" race, a Latin race, a Semitic or Celtic race, is doing as mixed races have done for centuries, in Greece, Rome, France, England—beating races that have allowed the breed to stagnate. B. G. Lamme is dead. How many of our 112,000 know his name? He was one of the four greatest electricians in this country. Edison, Tesla, and Steinmetz were the other three. Lamme and Steinmetz are gone. A master of electrical science, Lamme was creator of 150 useful inventions, and called "the greatest mathematician." At his work as chief engineer for the Westinghouse Company, Lamme was helped by two sisters, one with a desk beside his was chief designer of direct current motors. Those two sisters worked with their brother, as the sisters of Herschel and Renan worked with their famous brothers. Such work is better than the fame that passes with the death notice. Of all the news to-day, for permanent value nothing is more important than the importation by the State of Ohio of seven thousand wasps from France. These peculiar French wasps are brought here to fight the corn borer. They and their children's children might save the country hundreds of millions a year. United States ceases issuing Treasury savings certificates and stamp duty. They paid 4½ per cent. The government can borrow money from big banks and financiers at a lower rate. So why pay 4½ per cent to the little people? What about the high minded, magnificent, unselfish, patriotic desire to "cultivate thrift in the masses"? Did that die suddenly when interest rates fell? Did the Government want to help the masses, or only want the savings of the masses? The prosperity outlook is cheerful, even for farmers, something that couldn't be said a few weeks ago. "Ten dollar pork," which means $10 a hundred for hogs on the hoof, is in sight. That's due to the high corn. Pork is corn transformed in the pig's digestive apparatus. Farmers that raise the pork also raise the corn. They'll get the money. And cattle are going up.

This was anticipated. When the great floods of the past spring occurred, the health department issued warnings to those living in the flooded sections. The waters overflowing the low lands left much germ laden material which the everpresent flies have been carrying to human food. After the flood it was too late to talk about the sanitation that would have prevented danger but great stress was laid upon screening houses as a protection against the present menace and of increasing sanitary arrangements as a precaution for the future. If the later reports are no worse than those that have been received, the health authori ties will be reasonably satisfied. Most of the increase, practically all of it comes from districts that were flooded and it must be remembered that 1923 showed the lowest sickness and death rate from typhoid ever recorded in Virginia. Since the first 3 months of 1914 were slightly better than even the first quarter of 1923, it may be that the year for a whore will not exceed greatly, if at all, the 1923 totals. Sanitary work is progressing not as rapidly as the health department would wish but steadily and increasingly. This sanitary work, which includes the protection of water supplies as well as the disposition of human excreta, is the only certain precaution against typhoid and its kindred bowel troubles. That is why the health workers lay such stress on this type of work. TRY THE YOUTH AND BEAUTY PREPARATIONS. A Cure for all Scalp Trouble. Stops Falling Hair, Itching Scalp, Dandruff.

No arrests have been made as the Cuban players left Harrisburg immediately after the game. They will be placed under arrest as soon as they return to Pennsylvania.

SKI WEDS SOUTHERN WHITE GIRL; FRENCH WIFE EJECTED NEW YORK, July 31.—Lillian Werner and Louis Fall, better known as Bauting Siki, were married here July 32. Southern white scribes say that although the woman says she is white and a native of Tennessee, she is believed to e ban ban oooon. They claim the girl's mother in Memphis is described as 'quite dark of complexion." Various scribes aver that it is unfortunate the color question had to enter into the situation just at this time when race relations, especially in the pugilistic world are as they are. MADAM SIKI SAID TO BE IN PARIS It is said that Gertrude Amphler, the Dutch girl who came to France with Siki from Holland, was stunned when told that Siki had married an American woman. She said: "I have no certificate to ever show that I married Louis," but she finally pointed to a rugged youngster playing in the street, "that is the best marriage certi ficate I can offer."

PITTSBURGH GIANTS ARE GOING STRONG. 99 (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, PA, July 31—Sell Hall and his Pittsburgh giants have at last hit their stride and right now are logical contenders for the claim of the Homestead Grays to diamond superiority in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. The club has won 10 out of the last 12 games and tied one. Included in their lineup are: Gooden, short formerly with Toledo, Cleveland and said by "Rube" Foster to be one of the greatest young infielders in the game today; Holt, the hard-hitting outfielder, who first played in Pittsburgh under Dismukes and was also a protege of "Rubes'"; Hammond, the flash see-side-sacker, and "Pimp" Young, of Lincoln University fame, who has long since won his spurs on the track, grid iron, the diamond and the court. HOMESTEAD GRAYS HAVE A MAGNIFICENT RECORD. (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, PA., Aug. 1—The Homestead Grays, local independent club, and said by many close observers of baseball to be better than two-thirds of the clubs in the Eastern and Western leagues, have amassed a formidable record for this season. The club under the management of the redoubt able Cum Posey, has won 72 games, lost 16 and tied 6. Their latest victory was a win Friday evening over the strong West Newton Club whom they defeated at Forbes Field, 11-5. The club scored six runs in the first inning and two each in the second and third, thus putting the game on ice, Oscar Owens, "Iron Maul" the speed-ball king pitched wonderful ball and was given air-tight support.

ATLANTA, GA., July 31.—Walk Miller, the enthusiastic manager of "Tiger" Flowers, described by impartial experts at the greatest Negro fighter of all time known little about the art of singing, but right now he is exercising his vocal chords with the popular song "Hall I Do?" Tally Mr. Miller is lost in a mass of clouds that show if any signs of breaking to allow the sunshine of fortune to penetrate and bring joy and peace to the Flowers Fighting Company. The whole trouble grows out of the fact Flowers is matched to fight Cham pion Harry Greb, middleweight, at Fremont, Ohio, August 14. The hitch in the arrangement is that Miller has been in the arrangement is that New York Boxing Commission that if Flowers meets Greb he will be suspended by the New York Commission. Greb now being in bad standing and under suspension now Miller is not willing to have his six sational middleweight suspended by any commission, even he has a chance to grab the world's middleweight championship in the Greb match. Tex Rickard and two or three of the other large open air clubs have offered Miller very attractive matches during the summer months at New York, this added to the fact that Flowers has never been suspended or even cautioned by the referee of a match for foul tactics, which has gained for the sensational Georgia fighter the title of "the whitest black man in the game." And has caused Miller to ask that the Fremont match be delayed until such time as Greb's suspension is lifted. Although the suspension angle that has come up is yet to be thrashed out, this is not in any way effecting the preparations of promoter Ray Bronson who is staging the big affair, he is daily going along at a rapid rate erecting the large open air arena which is to seat nothing less than 25,000 people. Tickets for the match have been placed on advance sale at Cleveland, Toledo Grand aRpids, Springfield, Cincinnati, Chicago, Indianapolis and many of the smaller cities that are within an hours ride from Fremont. Reservations have been pouring in to Bronson for more than three weeks or since the match was first announced as being close fight fans from New York and even as far as Atlanta, have made reservations will attend and the match which such well-known critics as E. W. Dickerson, James J. Corbett, Matt Hinkle, Add Thacher have said would be the fastest and best middleweight fight ever staged. Tom McAuldle, matchmaker for the Nestrand Athletic Club, owners of the large Henderson Bowl at Brooklyn is trying hard to get the signature of Ted Moore, the British middleweight champion, to articles for a twelve round match against Flowers to be staged in New York on August 5th. Should this match go over the "Tiger" will have the distinction of meeting two champions within two weeks, if he should be feat both Moore and Greb he will have accomplished the feat of defeating both the principals of the recent Milk fund show as Greb and Moore battled for UNHAPPY, undecided, in doubt, worried, not well?

GRACE GRAY DE LONG, Miami, Fla. the world's title on this card against each other. "It seems funny to me that the New York Commission permitted Greb to fight in that state on the milk fund and now notify me that Flowers will be suspended if he fights Greb in Fremont. I have a large forfeit up with the Ohio State Commission for our appearance, and will likely be suspended if I don't go through with the match, in addition. I shall lose the forfeit I have up. I will make a determined fight before I call off the Greb match as I think Flowers will be the winner and the next world's champion, if necessary I shall take the matter into the Courts to get justice," Miller said. The above evidently means that there will be plenty of fireworks going on at Fremont on August 14th and that there will be the largest attendance ever to witness a fight in the state of Ohio.

SIX PROUD COLLEGES (Continued from page 4) a college with a long precious line of victories in athletics, be that college Howard or Harvard, Princeton or Lincoln, and I will show you a proud college. From Morehouse to Wilberforce is a long stretch. We have to pass through the principalities of the Carolinas, and the kingdoms of the Virginia or through the empire of Tennessee and Kentucky, and with special permission from the Duke of Ohio we visit Wilberforce, sixth proud college. WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY. As Sir William Wilberforce is one of England's greatest statesmen so is his name sake one of our best colleges. Why is she proud? Asking a Wilberforce Co-ed this question her reply was that it was because of the exceedingly beautiful campus. The golden hues of the sun harmonize nicely with the green well-kept lawns; is the natural matchless comparison of Wilberforce colors—Gold and Green. On the other hand a Wilberforce graduate attributes "Force" pride to other causes. He says that Wilberforce has turned out more principles of schools than any college of its kind in the country. This scribe sat at the feet of one of them at a certain school upon the Arkansas. At this principal's graduation, President McKinley, then Governor of Ohio, sat upon the Commencement rostra doing honor to the occasion as this brilliant orator invoked the soul-moving eloquence of the muses. This alumnus says further that not only Wilberforce but the whole A. M. B. Church and the Hamit race is proud because this institution is not only the creature of the black man's hands but is also maintained by him. It is, therefore, in a class of one among American colleges. The students are also taught that their superiors might be found upon Mars, or some of the outlying planets, being understood that there exists none among the heirs of Mr. and Mrs. Adam, upon our earth. Howard, Fisk and Lincoln and others did not produce nor have associated with them all the big men. Wilberforce has her share.

They are all Sallies at heart. Perhaps Sallie's own experience, put down truthfully from the pages of her own life, will help your Sallie to pause before she rushes headlong into the cataclysm that yawns today for every young girl. Astronomy. -Yes--and Ted Billings "Let's get out of here. Sallie," said Ted Billings, as he cut in on a dance. The orchestra was playing a divine fox trot and the saxophone was laughing like a big, fat man. "Duck out, the side door before that bird breaks on us; he's been rushing you all evening." I nodded my head. We danced hurriedly and, with a purpose the width of the ball-room, and out through the door, still keeping time to the music as we crossed the porch. Here and there in the shadows couples were grouped in pairs and they called out gaily to us as we passed. Ted piloted me by the arm to his car, which was parked quite a distance from the club at the edge of the roof course. "I always stop here," he announced "a good place to take a nip, and besides, it's nice and cozy to be away from the rest of the gang. Isn't it old dear?" He squeezed my arm and opening the door, we sat down on the back seat of his beautiful closed car Instantly he produced a flask and from the pocket of the car a bottle and two glasses. "See, what a thoughtful little boy I am," said Ted; "cold ginger-ale for the ladies." I propped my silver-slipped feet on the little seat of the car and sighed contentedly. The moon sailed full and clear, followed by a cortege of little clouds that were puffs of dusk-blend chiffon from the trousselle of a bride. A soft breeze played in the palms; it even reached up to the little clouds and scurried them faster and faster across the sky. "Snap out of it," interrupted Ted, passing me a tall glass. "That's fine Scotch, Sallie. Came off an English vessel, that just heaved into port. It WAS good. Then, too, I knew the faint glow of assurance and well being that I had begun to look forward to and enjoy. "That's some dress, Sallie," Ted said, "but I'd hate like the deuce for you to sneeze. He tested the narrow strap of brilliants that held it on. His fingers against my flesh were warm. "You've got the 'skin' they love to touch' all right, Sallie," said Ted. It's like rose petals and velvet and all those things." "Same old line," I laughingly replied. "Line nothing"; he put his arm around me. "You know perfectly well you go to my head. Maybe it's that darn perfume you use. What is it, Sallie? Blue-hour? Well, there's nothing blue about this one for us, is it, Beautiful?" He held me just a bit closer and every now and then we heard strains of music borne to us on the breeze. They were playing my favorite waltz. It was comfy to be way off from the crowd. I let my head rest against his arm. I liked Ted. He did everything with such an air, and although his reputation was a little off, it didn't make much difference. He went everywhere and the Billings had more money than anybody in town. RADIO HINTS When head phones give off an uneven sound it means that one of the phones have changed in some way.

Another little drink won't do us any harm." "Well, how 'bout it? Say when," he continued, pouring a second drink from the flask. "Bottoms up," directed Ted, and both glasses went up together and down, empty, at the same time. "You're a good sport, Salille," announced Ted. "Give me a drag." He took my cigarette and I lit another from it for I enjoy one after a drink more than any other time. "I say, Sallie, did you ever see the lady in the moon?" Ted must have had a few drinks earlier for he was talking rather slowly—more slowly than before. "No, I never did. Show it to me. Won't you?" I begged. "Will I? Can a duck swim? However, you'll have to do everything I say." He looked at me. "Are you game?" "Right-o; go ahead." We faced the moon. It was so lovely and seemed to be getting prettier every minute. "Now, Sallie," Ted commenced, "You're the lady and I'm the man. You mustn't move." He tilted my face up toward the moon and continued, "She's on the right hand side and that cloudy spot is her hair. She's old-fashioned, Sallie, or she'd have it bobbed." His hand still cupped my chin, I giggled. We WERE having a good time. "Pay attention now, Sallie; this is a serious affair," admonished Ted. "Now you see her profile, you've made cut her hair, there's her nose and mouth—remember, now, Sallie, the man's on the other side—and their lips meet—" "Sallie," came a soft feminine voice. I looked quickly to the side of the car. Anne Coddington was standing there. No telling how long she had been an onlooker. I had rather it had been any one but Anne. I wondered what Ted would say. He laughed indifferently and climbed out of the car. I could have died, Bland:——"What is the teaching of the Bible which Smithers practices and which caused his wife to sue for divorce?"

Thrifty Tips for the H O M E by FLO. Handkerchiefs:... Iron the center of a handkerchief first - then the edges. By doing so the edges will be straight when folded. Salad Dressing: When making a boiled salad dressing beat up the whites of eggs left after the yolks have been used in a cake. They make the dressing very light. Salt: Add a cupful of salt to the water in which you wash spinach, cabbage or lettuce. All the dirt will settle in the bottom of the pan and the greens will be very crisp. Ironing: When ironing any round or oval article that shows signs of gathering up, stretch and pin the article on a towel while very wet. When dry it should be perfectly flat. Eyelets: To make a clear, even perforation in linen or any stiff material, first place a small cake of white soap under the cloth and run the stiletto through the material and the soap. The material will be softened and the needle will easily pass through it. Stale Bread: Never throw stale bread out. Cut it in slices as thin as possible—put it in the oven and leave it until brown. Then crush into fine powder and place in glass jars. These crumbs will be found excellent for frying croquettes, cutlets, etc. ____ Curtains: A new and interesting fashion is curtains made of oilcloth in solid colors. They are the length of the window and are made to hang even and flare against the side of the sash. They are made in different widths. A hem is turned and a weight placed in the hem. They are very pretty when made in blue, orange gray and other light shades. Shelled Nuts: Put shelled nuts in a cheesecloth bag, lay flat on the table and tap lightly with a hammer until the nuts are broken as fine as desired. This is a much quicker way than the old method of the chopping bowl. Canned Fruit: When canned fruit is to be served, open an hour or two before serving and pour the contents of the tin into a dish. The contact with the air will improve the taste. Butter: Before unwrapping butter, hold under cold water. The paper will come off without any of the butter sticking to the paper. --- The finest, fastest and最耐旱 grower, straightener and softener known — a greaseless preparation, highly perfumed, that does not look like grease on your hair, but will make it sparkle and glitter like a diamond.

HEROLIN MEDICINE CO Atlanta, Georgia NEW HOSPITAL NEW HOSPITAL Help us to get a new hospital. To think of it 75,000 colored people in a city with a hospital which they can call their own which can only accommodate 25 patients. No, no, no, we will not stand for this but will come together as a loving race should do and give our little mites to either rebuild or purchase another site. If every colored person in the city of Richmond would give $2.00 apiece we would erect a magnificent hospital which would be a credit to our race. The committee in charge is very much encouraged and it is believed that they are going to receive checks from every church in the city of Richmond, every business firm and every organization. The committee will flood the city with letters and it is beveled that every well-wishing woman and man in the city with a race pride heart will give willingly. Remember the beautiful words of our Lord. He said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." When the workers come to your doors don't refuse them but give willingly. They have buttons to sell and a dollar each for adults and cents each for children. They have cards which hold ten dollars each and also votes which are being sold by the agents at fifteen cents each. Let us give to everyone who comes to us in the behalf of the Sarah G. Jones Memorial Hospital. Look at the good that she has done in the past and that she is doing in the present. You can purchase your button at any of the doctors or ministers in our city. We are asking that you will purchase a button at once and wear it in order that you may advertise the campaign. We ask especially that the clubs and organizations in the city will please send a donation at once and a special pledge to help put the proposition over. When this hospital is completed we can say that it is a colored hospital and not a white hospital that takes colored patients. We have the most wonderful indorsements that any colored campaign has had in the state of Virginia. The campaign will continue throughout the month of July. We are asking that every family in the city of Richmond will purchase these buttons at the earliest convenience for the children as well as the grown people. We have the most wonderful site in view, which is appropriate for an institution of this Kind. If there is a man or a woman in the city that believes in charitable work they should be interested in this undertaking in behalf of our own race. Let us all join hands and work together in this campaign and make it the grandest campaign that has ever been in the state of Virginia. On the night that these reports come in we expect for this to be one of the greatest jubilee nights that has ever been held in the city of Richmond by the colored people. We are asking the public in general to make this a grand success, also your prayers. Most respectfully. The Committee in Charge, Rev. W. H. Stokes, president; Rev. W. H. Stokes, secretary; L. B.

These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some. I was forced to be operated, did so, and in twenty four hours after using his medicine. I passed at least a full day off gravel, none as big as a large stone.

I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him, and they have also gotten cured.

Maybe Neither Coolidge, Davis Nor La Follette Unusual Political Situation Makes Possible a Final Presidential Choice by Senate of Either Bryan or Dawes----An Outline of the Workings of Our Election Machinery When an Electoral Majority is Not Won. EIGHT (By Edward Percy Howard.) Fancy a conservative newspaper pub lishing on its first page a story to the effect that neither Coolidre nor Davis nor La Follette will be elected President of the United States in November. At first glance such a statement might seem outside the realm of possibility, but the political situation is complex and the election machinery such that it does not require much imagination to foresee the possibility, if not the probability, of such a situation. Almost anything may happen in November. There are 531 votes in the Electoral College. The electoral college is composed of electors from each state, equal in number to the number of Senators and Representatives to which the state is entitled. For example, New York has two Senators and 43 Representatives. Therefore, New York has forty-five votes in the electoral college. The total membership of the electoral college equals the total membership on the Senate and House—531. In voting it will be remembered that the people vote for the electors of their states, these names appearing on the ballot, and not those of Coolidre or Davis or La Follette. The Constitution provides that a majority of these 531 electoral votes, or 266, is necessary to the choice of a President. The person having the great est number of votes of course, wins when there are only two candidates in the field but with three the complexities begin. Here is the constitutional clause: "The person having the greatest num ber of votes (in the Electoral College) for President shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if no person having such majority then from the persons having the highest numbers, not exceeding three, on the list of those votet for as President the House of Representatives shall choose immediately by ballot, the President." ELECTING A PRESIDENT Now let us turn to the situation. In the candidate receiving merger the largest number of electoral votes could be chosen, then the entry of La Follette into the field would be unimportant, according to unbiased and astute political judges. But this is not the case, and there are many political observers who regard it as highly unlikely that a majority of the electoral vote will be won by any of the candidates. The second Monday following January the electors in each state chosen at the November election meet in their --- CHICAGO NOTES.

The votes will then be sent by messenger to the president of the Senate in Washington. They will be counted on the second Wednesday in February before the joint session of the House and Senate.

The choice being limit ed to the three highest candidates would mean that the House would have only the option of choosing one, either Davis, Coolidge or La Follette. HOW HOUSE VOTES. Here is where the election machinery takes on a different color. There is no voting by individuals in the House. Moreover, each state has only one vote Rhode Island's vote equals that of New York. The vote of each state is determined by a majority of the Congressional Representatives in that state. This point grasped let it be remembered that the "Bloes" in several delegations hold the balance of power. Thus the La Fette-Wheeler candidacy becomes something to be reckoned with.

Williams State Health Commission, says: "The Public Health Service is being imported at present by the University of Maryland, enforcing interstate quarantine to prevent the migration of the unvaccinated when there is danger that these may have been exposed to smallpox." Dr. Cumming goes on to say that. It is particularly desirable that the federal government may not be forced THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA in the House In February. A deadlock is quite on the cards—a repetition of the Democratic National Convention, perhaps, until March 4, 1925. At that time the new House comes into being but The New House Has Nothing To Do With The Choice Of A President. In the event of a deadlock until the disintegration of the present House the duty would pass to the Senate and here it must be remembered that The Senate Votes Only For The Vice-President And Not For The President. If the country stands without a President then the office being vacant, must be filled by the man chosen as Vice-President by the Senate. At this point we read another elimination. The Senate is limited to vote for the two highest candidates. So the likelihood is the choice would lie between General Dawes and Governor Bryan. DIFFERENT IN SENATE. Now we come to the Senate vote. The Senate does not vote by states like the House. The Senators vote as individuals, and a majority vote decides. The Senate membership being 96, 49 votes would elect a Vice-President, who would immediately succeed to the Presidency just as Coolidge succeeded Harding as soon as the vacancy occurred. In the present Senate there are 43 "****He took my arm a down on the back seat of he produced a flask, and f bottle and two glasses." "See what a thoughtful 'Ginger Ale for the ladies.'

Hardly a week passes without some news of smallpox getting into the papers; and for some time past each month gives a smallpox record at the State Board of Health. The Commission is constantly issuing warnings, nevertheless there are large numbers of unvaccinated people in Virginia, and every one of them is in more or less danger from this disfiguring and frequently fatal disease. In one Virginia county there is at present an epidemic of smallpox. Commenting on the situation, the health commissioner said: "If a person is successfully vaccinated he can not have smallpox at any time in the near future. The immunity lasts longer in some cases than in others; but it is always a matter of years. Of course it is slightly inconvenient to be vaccinated there is a trifling sore and a little discomfort, but why these immaterial difficulties should deter anyone seems incredible." Dr. Williams has no fear that, certainly in the life-time of anyone now here, smallpox will ever again be the menace it once was; but he is concern over the material increase in the number of cases during recent years and he is urging vaccination as a protection. ```markdown ``` Democrats. 51 Republicans and 2 Farmer Laborists. These figures would appear to ensure the election of Dawes, providing, there is no change in the character of the Senate as a result of the November elections, and providing La Folette would not switch a number of Republican Senators from the Coolidge-Dawes ticket and procure votes for Bryan. The margin is narrow, and La Folette might easily be the deciding factor. One need only go back to 1916 to see how delicate is the present situation. In that year the electoral college stood 277 for Wilson and 254 for Hughes. A third party candidate trolling, for example, the 13 electoral votes of California, would have thrown the election into the House. How many electoral votes La Folette will control as a result of the coming election is something for political writers to figure on. It may be something for the two dominant parties to consider seriously. La Folette supporters are claiming he will carry between eight and sixteen states. If he carries only Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana, such result would likely prevent either Coolidge or Daw's from winning the necessary majority of 266 electoral votes necessary to elect the President. Even the electoral vote of any one state might prevent a majority. and opened the door, we sat his beautiful car.

(Preston News Service) PHILADELPHIA, PA., July 31. After seriously slashing a comely woman, whose name was not divulged, with a razor following a quarrel in Pine Street last Thursday Samuel Brown, aged 27, attired himself in the woman's garments and attempted to escape from the house, where the cutting was done. Police who went to the house when they heard the woman's screams were surprised to see Brown make a wild dash out of the door and startle to run. During the chase Brown's hat blew off and revealed his disguse. He was captured by the police after a struggle in which most of the feminine clothing was torn from his body. The woman was taken to the Pennsylvania hospital and Brown was held under $5,000 bail to await the result of the woman's injuries. WILCOX'S TONIC TABLETS.
