VOLUME XLI, NO. 52 COLORED JUDGE FOR CHICAGO BENCH CHICAGO, Nov. 7-Albert Balley George, the first colored man to be elected to sit in a court of record in Chicago, probably will sit in South Wabash Street Court, where most of the prisoners will be cooled. "The colored people of Chicago have chosen one of their own number to be a Judge and I think they are entitled to have him hear their own cases," said Chief Justice Harry Olson of the Municipal Court today.

C., Nov. 10—The Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, thrills its field secretary, A. L. Taylor, announces the awarding of the Douglass Scholarship for 1924 to Vernon Williams, of Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va. Twice in succession students of Virginia Union University have won this coveted last year Thomas L. Dabney was the successful competitor. The remarkable success of Union students is not only an evidence of the excellent training given by Union, but it also testifies to the high calibre of men selected for membership by the Lambda Chapter. The Douglass Scholarship was established by the fraternity in 1920 for the purpose of giving practical aid to deserving students. The scholarship is a memorial to Frederick Douglass, who was one of the outstanding characters of the nineteenth century. THIRD QUARTER ENDS AT THE BETHLEH A. M. E. CHURCH.

S.)—Samuel Hicks, a race man' got a verdict at the hands of a jury in Jade Laughlin's court Wednesday morning for $960 against the street car company and Mrs. E. A. Phillips jointly for a collision that occurred at Rayburn and Gilbert streets. It seems that a street car knocked Mrs. Phillips' auto against the wagon of Hicks at the curb while they all three were headed in the same direction. Mrs. Phillips charged that the street car was at fault for the origi- nal collision and the street car com- pany tried to prove that she hit the street car in trying to go between it and the wagon. The jury seems to have taken what they both contended with a grain of salt and held them both for the injury to Hicks and to have given him all that he contended for. Mrs. Phillips and the street car company must pay Hicks jointly. NEGRD ORGANIZATION SOCIETY TO AID IN TUBERCULOSIS DRIVE The Negro Organization Society is much interested in the plans and nounced by the State Board of Health for the intensification of the campaign against tuberculosis among the colored people because of the difference in the death rate in the two races. Major Allen Washington, President of the Society; Mr. T. C. Walker of Gloucester; Mrs. Maggie L. Walker of Richmond; Dr. L. L. Downing and Dr. A. L. James of Roanoke; Dr. R. C. Woods and Rev. J. W. Tynes of Lynchburg; and other prominent Negroes are taking an active part in the work and are planning for meetings in every section of the State, where there will be music and moving pictures and where good speakers will impress upon the people the possibility of the cure of this dreadful scourge. TOTAL DEATH RATE Although the total death rate from tuberculosis in Virginia has, during the past eight years, been reduced thirty per cent, the rate for Negroes remains two and one-half times as high as that for white people. During the past summer the Bureau of Tuberculosis Education in providing free clinics for chest examinations gave equal attention to colored and white with the result that while 3,237 people were examined, only 902 were colored. Of those examined only twenty per cent, one in five, gave evidence of disease; while thirty-two per cent, one in three, of the white people ex amined had tuberculosis. This in- dicates that the colored people who are diseased are not being examined. This sate of affairs can be remedied it is hoped, by a systematic education of the masses as to the poss bilities of preventing and curing the disease. PLANS BEING DEVELOPED Among the plans being developed by the Negro Organization Society is one for the distribution of health "bonds", the proceeds from which will be used for the erection of a building at Piedmont Sanatorium. The bond is similar in execution to that issued by any corporation, only it does not deal with terms of money but with health and happiness. The bond bears the picture of the first building erected at Piedmont through the efforts of the Negro Organization Society and is signed by Governor E. Lee Trinkle; Dr. Ennion G. Williams, State Health Commissioner; Major Allen Washington, President Negro Organization Society; Dr. H. G. Carter, Director of Piedmont Sanatorium; and Miss Agnes D. Randolph, Director Bureau of Tuberculosis Education. These bonds will be distributed through local committees who will very soon have them in hand and who will conduct a house to "house canvass. It is hoped that the issue of ten thousand dollars will very shortly be absorbed. YOUTH GETS PRISON SENTENCE ON CHECK FORGERY CHARGES. BATON ROUGE, LA., Nov. 10—(P. N. S.)—Freddie Wilson' aged 17 years, arrested for stealing $3,000 of checks, pleaded guilty in district court here and was sentenced to serve two to three years in the state penitentiary on a charge of forging the name of L. B. Baynard, state treasurer. The youth had confessed he had taken the checks from the auditor's post office box. The local postmaster said he did not know what action the Federal authorities would take following the plea of guilty on the forgery charge. It is stated that the matter will be presented to the postal inspector and in probability the charge of robbing the U. S. mails will also be placed against young Wilson.

"Dear Sir:—Having read carefully The Planet, for the past twelve months, and find no cessation in your sanguine spirit to keep the light of every day manhood shining in the face of every reader of the issues. No one can doubt that the threats of failure of your banking establish font have caused furtherance of your importance as a long-sighted business leader of the people. "The race is greatly indebted to you for standing, where hundreds have fallen from a less shock. Your purposes for trying to carry the colored people up were not selfish, but racial. The enemies of the race are ignorance and envy, and few are able to stand before them. According to all records of such as you have stood, your future days are to be well spent, and the eyes of the world are turned on you. "The power to get the ear of our people is intuitive with you, and that power has been increased tenfold within the pass year. The only way I know that I might help your fund is to have you set the date and time in a season when the election will have been closed and arrange a program of home talent, yourself included, and I have a talk of thirty minutes, which I wish to bring to the ear of our people, which will increase their faith in God, and in the true leaders among men. There are only some new things among the people who now live on the earth while there is "nothing new under the sun." "If you pray over this matter—remember the new year of 1925 will be the better time, if we are spared to perform. Everything is left for your consideration on the matter. But there is no reason that from four to ten thousand persons in Richmond should not be glad to have the opportunity to help in a small way to see their faith increased tenfold in ten minutes and all to the glory of God and the aiding of themselves. I am praying for you and the craft. "As ever, "CORNELIUS D. COOLEY, "Care 325 Lake Street."

By Stanley YEAH BUT ILL, GETCHA HE WOULDN'T LOOK LIKE THAT IF ASKS Y. W. C. A. STAND ON RACE BAR BEFORE APPEAL FOR MONEY The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, has written to the Y. W. C. A., asking for a definite decision on the policy of racial discrimination, manifested in New York when Miss Gardine, a young colored woman was excluded from the local Y. W. C. A. School of Hygiene on account of her color. The decision is asked for in view of the approaching budget week campaign of the Y. W. C. A., in the course of which colored people throut the country will be asked to contribute to the maintenance of the Y. W. C. A. work. The N. A. A. A. C. P. letter written to Miss Bertha M. Boody, General Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., in response to a communication which stated that the Y. W. C. A. was having conferences with the Colored Women's Branch. The N. A. A. C. P. letter says in part: "May I say quite frankly that it is difficult for us to understand why conferences with the Colored Women's Branch should be necessary. To us, the issue is simply one of deciding whether or not qualified colored girl's like Miss Gardine shall or shall not be admitted to the Central School of Hygiene and Physical Education and to other activities of the Y. W. C. A. or, to make it more simple, whether or not the Y. W. C. A. is going to practice discrimination based not on merit or worth but on color. It does not seem to us that this is a matter which would require consultation with the Colored Women's Branch or any other branch but that it is simply a matter for direct decision by the heads of the Young Women's Christian Association. "It is my understanding that the Y. W. C. A. is commencing on Sunday, November 9, its annual budget week campaign. That we may advise those people who are deeply concerned with regard to contributing to this campaign because of the incident at issue. I am requesting that some definite decision be reached in this matter prior to the opening of the campaign. "My first letter regarding this situation was written August 26th—more than two months ago—and we believe that it is within reason to expect that a decision on so vital a question as this should have been reached without so much delay and evasion. As I have stated previously, this Association is willing to wait a reasonable length of time for a settlement of this matter on a basis of complete justice and fairness before taking any other step. Inasmuch as more than two months have passed and apparently a decision is no nearer than when the matter was first broached in August, we will be constrained to take other steps in the event that a completely satisfactory settlement is not made within a very reasonable time." The N. A. A. C. P. letter to the Y W. C. A. is signed by Walter White, Assistant Secretary. TURKEY DAY CLASSIC AT HAMPTON.

It opened January, 1895 and since that time students graduating have made a fine record for themselves in this State and elsewhere, the kind and character of their attainments and work, invariably serving not only as an advertisement for the institution but a ringing tribute to those faithful workers, who have been assigned to instructive duties there. For information address, The Director, St. Emma Industrial and Agricultural Institute, Rock Castle, Virginia. PRESIDENT GENERAL MARCUS GARVEY announces that he has paid enough money on the steamship to enable him and his company to secure possession of it and that he only needs $25,000 more to complete the purchase. This is a remarkable achievement on the part of a remarkable leader. So far, so good, but it seems to us to be plainly apparent that an appeal of at least $250,000 more should be made to enable the management to have sufficient funds in hand to make the venture a success. The purchasing of the steamer is the smallest part of the venture unless it was done simply for advertising purposes. The need is to place the vessel upon the high seas as a paying proposition and there should be some leader near enough to Garvey to enable the organization to attain success in this record breaking movement. Trade and commerce is the key to the success of any race or people. Whether Marcus Garvey and his followers succeed or fail, they deserve credit for having launched a movement in the right direction. WE HAVE RECEIVED a copy of the vitriolic address of Dr W. E. E. Du Bois, an alumnus of Fisk University. It was delivered at Fisk University.

We are surprised that the officials sat without protest or comment during this caustic, literary custigation, unless the facts therein contained were truthfully undeniable. If they were truthfully undeniable, then Fisk University has been ushered into the darkest period of its existence. Dr. Du Bois, both intimates and says that this condition is the result of limitations set by those, who have contributed heavily to the endowment and support of the institution. A similar crusade was successfully launched at Howard University. We take it that this particular field of activity with a view to improving conditions, has been transferred to Nashville, Tennessee. We are frank to say that we are both worried and puzzled over this remarkable condition of affairs. THE RICHMOND PLANET.

In Baltimore, a so-called Domestic Efficiency Association, whose name speaks for itself, is taking the never-ending "servant question by the horns. It seems that this Association was organized about three years ago, for the purpose of putting domestic service on a better and more standardized basis. The principal rules which the members are asked to observe are: (1) Annual fee, five dollars; (2) Not to engage a servant who has left her former place without giving a week's notice, from any agency or any source whatever, unless under very exceptional emergency circum stances; (3) Not to tempt servants, by offering higher wages, to leave positions where they are already employed, unless the arrangement is made with full knowledge of present employer; (4) To give a conscientious report of a servant leaving member's employ; (5) To endeavor not to pay exorbitant wages for incompetent service; (6) To require a full reference of every servant engaged; (7) To make a business contract with every employee according to the rules of the bureau, under which the employer will sign an agreement as to giving a week's notice, or forfeit a week's pay; and (8) To do all in one's power toward consideration and fairness for employees. (1) Annual fee, five dollars; (2) Not to engage a servant who has left her former place without giving a week's notice, from any agency or any source whatever, unless under very exceptional emergency circum stances; (3) Not to tempt servants, by offering higher wages, to leave positions where they are already employed, unless the arrangement is made with full knowledge of present employer; (4) To give a conscientious report of a servant leaving member's employ; (5) To endeavor not to pay exorbitant wages for incompetent service; (6) To require a full reference of every servant engaged; (7) To make a business contract with every employee according to the rules of the bureau, under which the employer will sign an agreement as to giving a week's notice, or forfeit a week's pay; and (8) To do all in one's power toward consideration and fairness for employees. After three years in the Domestic Servant market the Association has arrived at some striking conclusions, according to certain of its published records, which show, among other things, that the largest number of Negro wofen in any of the occupational groups were those applying for maid's work of some sort, these constituting twenty-eight per cent. of all the Negro women applicants. The next largest group wanted to be cooks, while only sixteen per cent. of the Negro women expressed a desire to do general work. At these findings a vein of sadness seemed to pervade the Association's report, which continued its lamentations by stating that "employers have found it almost impossible to attempt a mixture of white and Negro workers in the same household. More than one householder stated that her reason for dismissing Negro servants was that she was engaging white persons, or vice versa, and could not employ the two together. The segregation of the white domestics as a class is even more marked than in many places and the social stigma more strongly felt by the white employees themselves. Consequently, the presence of the white and Negro elements in domestic service has a tendency to increase the labor turnover in such work." So well and so good for all of this, and we are forced to admire the economic wisdom which caused the Baltimore employers to organize for self-protection. With an admitted superior ability in organization, the vantage point lies with the employer of domestics. Yet, every employee probably deals with far more than one domestic employee. Hence, we recommend an equal So well and so good for all of this, and we are forced to admire the economic wisdom which caused the Baltimore employers to organize for self-protection. With an admitted superior ability in organization, the vantage point lies with the employer of domestics. Yet, every employee probably deals with far more than one domestic employee. Hence, we recommend an equal degree of organization and watchfulness on the part of the cooks, maids, etc. Let them, too, perfect a code of domestic ethics, keep a card index of employers, tabulate their eccentricities and their dispositions, and make up a "scratch sheet" of the wage-payers A.

Under the "Common-sense" President, the country has already righted itself from the chaos left by the Wilson Administration, and continues upon its way of prosperity and progress. Ignoring the siren calls of the La Follette and the Davis groups, assisted by prominent Negroes who left the G. O. P., the rank and file of Negroes registered an almost undivided vote of confidence in Mr. Coolidge and his party candidates. The result was an outstanding one, and gives to Negro devotees of the party of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Coolidge more than four full years to present their petitions to the Republican guardians of our government and our country. The spectacle of the divisions in the sentiments and the actions of the race's multiple directorate during the past year has been a sad exposition. Internal differences have been flagrant, and lack of unity has been marked. Setting our own house in order and solidifying our own intra-racial foundation are among our first duties, that we may carry to the Republican party opinions and positions as to which our majority is in agreement. Coalition, internal confidence, honesty and love for each other may well be combined before we file our pleas, rather than after they have been buffeted by the divisional seas of Jealousy and Knocks. Never before has a code of ethics been so much needed in our deliberations and presentations. Then, it will be that we can present the evidence in all our cases without being overruled by objections from within or without. There is room for much progress, inside as well as outside, and our pleadings must be correct in form before the substance can be considered. The coming four years should witness an indissoluble coalition of the Negroes of America, under competent and courageous leadership, true as steel and pledged to the manifestation of all that the history and Constitution of the United States proclaim, as our equity in the career of a great nation, which, according to the precepts of the Republican Party, are: Justice, Equality, Recognition, Opportunity, Livelihood, and the chance to see the God of all people, together with a pledge to combat all that is the enemy of the foregoing principles. "And thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself!" ```markdown ``` UNIVERSALLY DISGUSTING When Envy rode a toad, that circumstance was incomparable to the pre-election activities of the Universal Negro Political League, of New York, a subsidiary of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the play-child of Sir Marcus Garvey, African "explodent". The League spent its political forenoon by assailing Dr. Charles H. Roberts, Congressional candidate on the Republican ticket, from the Twenty-first District. Dr. Roberts, fine, clean, courageous, intelligent leader that he is, was the "butt" of an unethical, disgusting display of racial unconsciousness on the part of an organization, the bulk of whose membership and leader is alien stock, votess, and otherwise deficient. The activity against the hope of placing a colored man in the Halls of Congress reached its heights of perfection in the circularizing of Harlem with "flwers" which denounced our candidate. Far greater than our grief over the defeat of our candidate, however, is our disgust over such a wanton display of the lack of race pride as was shown by the Garvey League. The debacle was universally disgusting. It was probably an example of "Mister" Garvey's back-to-Africa motivations. It was an amazing affront, ignorantly exercised, baseless in its origin, void of a single element of progress, and insulting to every Negro in America who understands the U. S. Constitution. The League proponents should be forcibly made to study the "primer" of American history. Perhaps some far away day might find them partially ready to absorb the lessons in self-government which the American Negro has learned through years of toil and tears. ```markdown ``` WILL "ADVANCEMENT" SURVIVE? Wonderment prevails as to whether or not the recent intensive political activities of some of the leadership of the National Advancement Association have taken the "move" out of movement so far as the curative powers of the Association are concerned. It is said that hard feelings have developed on the part of various sections of the membership and the contributors who help to finance the Association's endeavors. It is further stated that intensive political activities were "ultra vires" acts, which resulted in differences not pleasing to the Association's adherents of the three political parties, thereby taking away much of the efficacy of concentration in matters relating to the future welfare of America's colored people. Political virtues have been so successfully carried by other vehicles of American progress that we hope the Advancement Association's program may not be disturbed by dissensions and loss of confidence. Our burden is too heavy to permit us to be other than gloomy over any rumor which points to the "scrapping" of a single agency which is sincerely endeavoring to ease our bed of affliction. Here's hoping that injured feelings may be forthwith soothed, and that a treaty of peace may be swiftly signed by any who are inclined to remove the "advancement" from the N. A. A. C. P., for there is much to be done in the wicked house of David, and before tackling the new year of legislation, agitation, and progression, we all need a life-size dose of "all together" tonic.

RICHMOND, VA 求 The Praying Parsons from the Seminary at Lynchburg ventured into the lair of the Union Panther and were vanquished 20-11 in an unusually thrilling and daring encounter before a good crowd at the spacious Mayo Is and Stadium here Saturday. Union started out like a house afire when Boffman tucked the pig skin under his arm on receiving Whidby's kickoff and raced 80 yards down the field. A few minutes later Shields flashed like a streak around right end for a 45 yard gain, aided by perfect interference led by Gross. Tobin's work sparkled on the line as 3 passes put the ball on the 15 yard line. Jackson shot one to Corrothers and he carried it over for the second touchdown. Then Seminary started its attack and rushed the ball down the field until Lanier hit for a touchdown, after several pretty passes; then Whidbly ran the ball to the 30 yard line aided by two 20 yard passes, which Watson completed and Seminary's quarterback dropkicked goal from afield. Union tallied again in the fourth quarter. Motton, in kick formation fumbled behind the goal and Seminary threw him for a safety. The Parsons then staged a rally in the last few minutes of play but could not score. ALABAMA STATE LOSES TO FORT BENNING (By H. Council Trenholm) FORT BENNING, GA., Nov. 8—Displaying a marvelous improvement over their earlier showing and presenting a dazzling offense built around the sensational Fendell Williams, the 24th Infantry soldiers trampled Coach Harris' Hornets from Alabama State College to the tune of 40-7 before a mammoth crowd of soldiers and civilians here today. With this defeat back of them, the Alabama Hornets look forward now to the Alabama Championship game to be played next Friday with the Tuskegee Institute eleven in the Cramton Bowl, Montgomery's $100,000 municipal stadium. HAMPTON AND SHAW IN A SCORELESS TIE (P. Bernard Young, Jr.) HAMPTON, VA., Nov. 8.—As the long shadows of encroaching darkness creep creeping across Armstrong Field this afternoon the Shaw Bears and the Hampton Seasiders stood face to face at the end of a scoreless battle of football waged through four quarters of some of the most dogged and oftimes brilliant football that has ever been played on Armstrong Field. The final count was 0 to 0. The teamwork of both teams practically overshadowed any individual play, but the work of Gunn, Dunlap Jones and Lee for Hampton was the outstanding work for that team. Mitchell was the star for Shaw's team. Doles gained consistently, as did Williams. Barnes often broke through to down Hampton backs for losses. Lyttle, and, indeed every played on both lines was good. Pin die played his usual great game. Creasy, Coleman, Alexander, Munday Jimmie Jones, and the three other backs, Thatchcr, Mansfield and Dean played creditable games thruout. UNION TO HONOR VETERANS. The Virginia Union University Athletic Association will pay tribute to their star gridiron trio, Captain Hank Corrothers, Allen Jackson and Sam Barksdale in a fitting program arranged to take place immediately after the Union-Petersburg game, to be played on Hovey Field today. Corrothers, Jackson and Barksdale are all four-letter men and incidentally, are all selections on the mythical All-American elevens chos en by some of our best sport writers. These men, who have been trained so diligently in the art of strategic football, should make good coaching material. The champion A. S. C. eleven of Richmond trampled the Portsmouth Blks in a one sided game at Hovey Park Armistice Day. The A's tallied at will and all of the boys fattened their "batting averages." The score was about 40 to 0.

She tells her friends that she cannot stand "kids." The friends she has cannot be thought of as "prospects," as any one of them is much too old to be considered as a husband for her. The younger boys always think of her as "old" because she is always with older people. Some day this girl is going to awaken to the fact that her friends are "old men" and that she is doomed to the life of a bachelor girl. Neither of these girls realize what they are doing.

Should A Young Girl Keep Company With An Older Man? 51X --- Returning to Jacksonville, I found Daddy very ill. He called for me incessantly, and when I was near by there came over him a deep calm that was noticeably absent when I left him. Even when he would lapse into unconsciousness he seemed to realize my presence. Days passed, with hours like big, black buzzards swooping by. There must be some shining hopefulness about Youth that takes no cognizance of peril, for, while I knew Daddy was quite low at times, I refused to let the thought of Death enter my consciousness. I passed each day and night in the sick room, only slipping away for a little rest at intervals. Flowers came, carelessly I glanced at the cards. From Daddy's generation. Offerings from my friends came once and then ceased, as if I had stepped out of their existence. This, in spite of the fact that the papers carried stories about Daddy's serious condition. There was one bright spot in each day, however—every morning, at the same hour, there came, as if to greet me—a box of pearl-studded tiers of the valley. There was no card. I knew they were not from Warren Fisher, because every other day a spray of orchids came from a fashionable Eastern florist. There were also two special delivery letters on the table which remained unopened. But the lilies of the valley. Could they be from Curtiss-Wright? I wondered. He was still an enigma. Sitting beside my father's snowy bed there was time for contemplation, a sort of mental stock taking. The trip over Pensacola with Mr. Wright had been uneventful. He had been most considerate, and there were times when his attention almost sugested the gentleness of a lover. Then late one afternoon there came a tap to the door. Daddy was sleeping. "Come in," I whispered. In came Curiss Wright, smiling. "How do you do?" he asked gently. "I've been waiting to help some but so far you have been oblivious of my existence." Before answering I crossed to the In Confides Readers desiring a personal reply Miss Flo, in care of this new Should A Young Girl An Older One of my readers writes me as follows: Dear Miss Flo: I am heartbroken, and I am writing to you for consolation. For the last five years I have been engaged to a man whom I loved very much, and whom, as I thought, loved me just as much in return. He was much older than I, and I met him when I was quite young. I have a ways been quite popular with the young *s*; and used to have some wonderful times. But he, being so much older than I (he was 40 and I was 18), had nothing in common with my friends, so I tlled by little I began to drop my friends and so with his group.

So, Pa ache too s 24"—not The second girl is just as unfortunate. She also is a very lovely person, but instead of giving her time to boys near her own age, she is giving it to middleaged men. She tells her friends that she cannot stand "kids." The friends she has cannot, be thought of as "prospects," as any one of them is much too old to be considered as a husband for her. The younger boys always think of her as "old" because she is always with older people. Some day this girl is going to awaken to the fact that her friends are "old men" and that she is doomed to the life of a bachelor girl. Neither of these girls realize what they are doing. They both feel superior to the younger set. In years to come, when the girls are reviewing chapters of their life, this particular period will be touched with sadness, and they will, in all probability, view it as a very unfortunate tragedy. So, Patsy, don't take your heartache too seriously. You are "almost 24"—not so terribly old, after all, is it? In the meantime try to cultivate younger acquaintances—try to get their viewpoint, and when the pain of this unfortunate affair has worn off, you will be more than glad that you did not marry the older man.

Nothing I can say will help the heartache that you are going to have for quite a while, but perhaps your letter will serve as a warning to other girls who are making the same prints you have made. I know two very lovely girls, and I hope they see your letter. The first girl is unusually at active. She has made a wonderful pal of her mother. They go everywhere together, and she is always in company with her mother's friends. But here is where she is making her mistake. She has no friends of her own age. She has a false standard of ideals, and a false sense of duty. She disapproves of the modern girl. She thinks that all young girls are frivolous, when they are leading a young girl's normal life. She thinks she is superior o the younger set, and she is losing one of the best parts of her life in giving up the joys of girlhood.

The NERVOUS WRECK by E.J.Rath Sally Morgan, daughter of the owner of the Bar-Mart, who lives at the distance of 35 miles from the ranch to catch a train for the cast, where she works, and for her wedding to Sheriff Bob Wells. Wells is unable to ride with her to the various Wreck, a young easterner who is visiting at the ranch, offers to take her to the ranch. The sheriff ridicules the suggestion, but Sally and the Wreck out anyhow over the rough, unfinished. The Wreck's real name is Williams and his home is in the ranch one day in the rattling car, for supper and "then kept on staying." **NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY** NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "I am a nervous wreck," he told Dad Morgan and the family. "I've got insomnia and things like that. I look healthy, but don't let it fool you, to a wreck." It seemed that his doctor, back in Pittsburgh, diagnosed him, and he believed the doctor. He had been working too hard; he was on edge all the time. He was not very old, but the city was killing him. Anything that savored of excitement was in a fair way to put an end to him. "What you need," said the doctor, "is a long trip somewhere, by yourself. Cut out the cities; dodge the towns. Buy yourself a fliver and strike out for the wild west. That's the only place where a man can lead a quiet life in these days." Dad Morgan allowed that the doctor was right; but the Wreck said no, the doctor was a har. The west had not been nearly so quiet as promised. But it seemed that the Wreck liked the Bar M. He stayed and stayed, and appeared to think they ought to be grateful to have a paying boarder. Had and Ma and Sally were, in fact, had to have him, for outside of the charif and a few other natives, visitors at the ranch came seldom. Besides, the Wreck was something of a curiosity and when he did not talk about his nerves he could tell interviews of the cast, which no body but Sally believed.

I thought you were different." Oh, but I think it can be done, Mr. Williams should have hastily amended, she should you might break an injee or something. Mightn't you? The Wreck brought the machine to a stop and allowed the engine to race in a horrible manner. "Want to get that train, don't you?" he demanded. "Why, of course." "Am I alarming or otherwise an noying you?" "No, indeed!" "Have I busted anything yet?" "I don't believe so." "All right. Let's go." He stamped his foot on one of the pedals and they leaped forward. Sally held tight and smiled. She enjoyed his childish faith in himself; besides, she figured that she could jump clear as soon as it became necessary. Not until the trail was shrunken to a mere path among rocks and trees did the fliver come to a stop. The Wreck killed the engine, climbed and went ahead for reconnaissance. "We'll have to roll a lot of rocks A woman in a dress with a hat is holding a flower and talking to a man in a suit.

"No, not at all," he smiled, for it wouldn't do any good to start rolling rocks," she said. "We'd be it till doomsday. I'm awfully sorry, but we've come too far. It's my fault." "Too far?" he repeated, puzzled. "Yes. You see, we're beginning to climb the side of Black Top, and you can't get anything up here but a horse. I was so busy watching the trail that I didn't notice our bearings. It was stumped of me, but—well, it's done." He nodded, then glanced ahead at the disappearing trail. "If a horse can do it—" He was thinking of the sheriff. "Oh, no," said Sally, emphatically, and shook her head. "It's useless to think of it. Why, there are some places it goes. We along the edge, no more than three feet wide." He was reluctant to abandon the idea and still stared at the trill with an amusing eye. "We'll have to go back," explained Sally, "to the place where the road turns off. We passed it." "I didn't see it," he remarked. "Did you?" "Certainly not. If I had I'd have spoken about it.

'It's not much of a road. I gins; but a car comes.' The Wreck stood for a moment in gloomy contemplation. "It upsets my nerves to turn back," he announced. "I get jumpy and shaky. It irritates me. But—oh, blazes!" He reached for the crank and yanked it viciously. Sally dismounted and stood breathless while he made a turn. He managed it ultimately, after a furious charge into a clump of saplings, which flattened under the attack like wire entanglements before a tank. "Get in," he commanded. They were off on the back trail leaping and careening. For ten tenuous minutes they traveled down grade, with Black Top casting a long shadow before them. "Keep your eye peeled for that turn off," admonished the Wreck, as they plunged reeling into a little green creee through which a tiny stream trickled. "It's queer about that road, but I can't seem to find it," Sally confessed after awhile. Sally glanced at the water strapped to her wrist and caught her breath. "Do you know that it's after so o'clock?" she cried. He bent over to examine the watch, then produced his own, where he wore in a pocket. "Ten after six," he confirmed. "I think we're both a few minutes fast." "And do you know we're supposed to catch that train at seven?" Sally's voice had a note of consternation. "Don't get fussed," he advised. "We'll make it." He was plumbling forward again, but she checked him with a vigor on grip on his arm. "We're headed in exactly the wrong direction. We're going south, and we to be going north." Sally was thinking about the ear-bound express. She did not know, but she had a feeling that the railroad was still very far away. They had been on the road since noon, and she could not for her life tell how many miles they had wasted, but probably most of them. "But what?" asked the Wreck, in patiently. "We'll just never make that train. Why not? Who say, so Certainly we will. If there a rr it. "Just as soon as we get to a road you spoke about—" "But where is the road?" answered his hands, from the beach, folded in his lap and looked at other. "You said it was over this way, didn't you? "I—I'm not sure. I said it was in a certain direction from a certain place. But I don't believe we've been going in that direction. At least, not all the time." "We've been going as nearly in one direction as we could," he said, coldly. "Don't blame me if the country is a hodge-podge." "I'm not blaming you." "Look here; have you got the idea in your head that I'm lost?" he demanded. "Please go ahead. It's getting hard and later." "Because if you have," added the Wreck, "I'll remind you that I drove all the way from Pittsburgh without getting lost. And if you think you can lose me in a little two-by-nothing prairie you'll have to guess some more." "Oh, drive on!" exclaimed Sally. He did drive on, expertly and furiously. She cast a hopeless glance at the low ridges that seemed to have sprung up on all sides, and frowned anxiously. Perhaps the Wreck was not lost, but tally was quite certain that she was.

EIGHT This Week By Arthur Brisbane CONSIDER JOE, CHIMPANZEE. EDUCATE THE EDUCATOR. THE SINS OF THE CHILDREN. MEAT EATERS RULE. Joe, aged chimpanzee, alleged member of a tribe whence sprang the Caucasian race, has known a moment of exaltation. His keeper, as usual, entered the cage to clean it. Joe, just for a change, swung his knotty black hand around and knocked the keeper senseless with ease, went out the open door and walked in the park. He stopped to exchange courtesies. His brother, his eighty-three-year-old park employee. Soon he was on his way back to the cage. Learn that when you admire a prized fighter, you admire only a poor imitation of a chimpanzee, and a worse imitation of a gorilla, that could beat any twenty prized fighters in forty seconds. Learn also from Joe, the chimpanzee, that freedom depends not on how hard you can HIT, but how well you can THINK. Joe, the chimpanzee rose, knocked down his keeper, and walked out of the case, but he didn't know what to DO next. "There's the rub." An "educator" of Minnesota is accused of punishing boys in a high school by causing them to sit in an "electric chair," causing severe burns. In New York State, another "educator" of the same gorilla type confessed that he had beaten a little negro girl with a rubber hose. It might cure the man with the rubber hose to let him spend half an hour in a closed room with Wills, the negro fighter, the latter also equipped with a piece of rubber hose. The Minnesota educator could be affected by a brief stay in a electric chair, but that would not be even for that kind humidity. --- The Government, which found so many billions for the wars of other people in Europe, ought to find a few dollars for building the canals that this country needs. One canal would unite the Lakes and the Mississippi Valley with the Gulf and the Pacific via Panama. Another canal for ships unite the Lake country with the Atlantic. "Every big American city a seaport" should be our motto. Within twenty-four hours, a girl of fourteen, soaked by her father shot herself to death. An eighteen-year-old boy, beaten by his father, killed himself by burning on the gas. Strange that man, said to do second from the "higher apes" or some animal like them, should treat his own children with a brutality of which no gorilla, orange-outang or chimpanzee was ever guilty. A man that would not allow anybody to beat his young horse or dog for fear of "breaking its spirit will break the sensitive spirit of his own child. Modern crime turns an ancient test upside down. In Exodus, 20th chapter, 5th verse, you are told that the iniquity of the fathers is visited upon the children "unto the third and fourth generation." Now the crime of the child is visited upon the father. Albert Loeb, whose son killed the Frankes boy, is dead, killed by sorrow and disgrace. That should satisfy the bloodthirsty that demanded "somebody hanged." That unfortunate father died a thousand deaths to atone for his son's hideous crime. Have you noticed how little men seem to think about their souls while they are alive, and how much they think about what will happen to their bodies after they are dead? A corpse left behind is no more important than a pair of wormous shoes thrown aside. Yet men of power, from the Pharah that butt the first pyramid to millionaire Cone with his concrete grave, have worried about their bodies, the question concerning to one another's death should be, "Where do I go from here?" not "Who is going to steal my body?" George Bernard Shaw, self-appointed Vice-Regent of Omnipotence, thinks little of meat eaters. He's wrong. He says: "Armes fed them have conquered half the world." Perhaps so, but men that eat meat RULE THE ENTIRE WORLD. Don't forget that. NEGRO STATE TEACHERS ASSN. 1924 CONFERENCE.

A fair representation from the various Folds was present in the Union Degree Meeting on the first Friday night. A number of applications were reported and the Grand Secretary obligated the candidates for the various folds. The record of all Folds participating in this drive was read, and it was shown that Clark's Invincible Fold stood head of the list, with Ardela's in the second place, Roan's Fold in the third, etc. Every Fold in the City of Richmond and Vicinity is urged to do its best to bring in its quota of members by the time this campaign closes. I am sure that all of the officers and workers in the drive will be delighted to know that the Grand Shepherd has decided to extend the campaign through the first Friday night in January, 1925. This means that we have one more month in which to reach the desired goal. Roan's Fold was bubbling over with enthusiasm on the first Thursday night in this month. They had a number of candidates which were inducted into the mysteries of the Order by the Grand Secretary Treasurer. We doff our hats to Mr. Seymour Robinson, his faithful wife, Mrs. Annie Robinson and the splendid corps of officers surrounding him in this Fold, for the success with which they are meeting in increasing their membership. Many congratulations to them. Director and Deputy J. A. Bolden of Appomattox, Va. has just returned from a business trip from West Virginia and met with a number of his old friends.
