Price's Brother Dies Suddenly--Acute Indigestion Ends His Career in Undertaking Establishment. Gruesome Story Told Times-Dispatch Reporter-The Family Enters Prompt Denial. VOLUME XLII NO.2 THE D J NO POIS W. A. Price denly--Acc His Car Es Gruesome S Reporte John Price, brother of Mr. W. A. Price, died suddenly, Monday, November 24th in W. A. Price's undertaking establishment. While his residence was at 1001 Littlepage street, he had a room upstairs at 700 N. 17th street, in the undertaking establishment of his brother, W. A. Price. He came downstairs that morning, not completely dressed and complained of not feeling well. He sat down on the lounge in the front office and became very ill. His son, James E. Price, who is employed by his uncle, W. A. Price, had gone to Mr. H. C. Sims, 1308 E. Main street to make some purchases, when he was called up and told that his father was seriously ill. TRIED TO SAVE HIM. He hastened back to the office and his father asked him to rub him. He proceeded to do this assisted by one of the "boys" in the office. The The ambulance surgeon was sent for and he administered strychnine. While this was going on the ambulance surgeon said that he was dead. His own son did not know that he had passed away. Much excitement followed. Coroner Whitfield was called and his death was ascertained to be due to acute indigestion. He had but recently been discharged from the hospital. Rumors that he had been poisoned were strenuously denied by members of the family. FUNERAL DIRECTOR SCOTT OFFICIATED. The report to this effect is alleged to have been circulated by Emma Jane Davis Anderson, who is now confined in the City Jail for selling cocaine. Her husband, Davis Anderson, who was convicted on the same charge did not long since in the Virginia penitentiary. It was published in the Times-Dispatch that he had been buried in a casket furnished by Lucinda Price at a cost of $1,700, but as a matter of fact, he was not a reative of Lucinda Price and Funeral Director Robert C. Scott officiated and had charge of the remains. While the casket was expensive, it was not up to the $1,700 mark as stated in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. WIDOW PAID BILL It was ordered and paid for by Emma Jane Davis Anderson and not by any of the Prices. John Price left one brother. W. A. Price, one sister, Richetta Price, one daughter, Vivian Price and three sons, James B. Price, Samuel Price and Walter Price to mourn their loss. The funeral took place last Thursday at 3 P. M. from the First Baptist Church. Tom Rogers, W. A. Price's mother's brother was stricken with paralysis at his residence, 814 Buchanan street, Sunday and is dangerously ill. --- We learned with regret of the death of the husband of Mrs. Mary N. Gay, of Norfolk, Va. He departed this life August 14, 1924. The widow has our heartfelt sympathy. —The Checker Cab is the latest innovation and up-to-date service is guaranteed to colored people at the prevailing rates for such service. Read the advertising announcement in another column. Day or night service and accommodating chauffers will serve colored patrons. —When out of breath permanently, have your friends send for W. L. Johnson Sons. They will know exactly what to do with you and the cost will be reasonable. —Peter Hall Shoe Shining Emporium is about the best in the city. He understands his business and he knows it. —Mr. "Tip" Gray has built up a big business on Leigh street and his numerous patrons are steadily on the increase. —We received an invitation to attend the Quarto-Centennial in honor of the brilliant Madame Maggie L. Walker, Sunday, November 30. 1924. Lelia W. Bankett is chairman and Sallie W. Dickerson, secretary. —Mr. Edward Stewart has shown so much discriminating judgment in serving the patrons that his advertising announcement will occasion no surprise. Give him your orders, if you want prompt service. —Mrs. Nannie B. Davis of 103 E Clay St., who has been sick for several weeks, is much improved. The attractive bay front residence of Mrs. Belle Vaughan has been much damaged by an unsightly chic block office for a filling station, which has been recently erected on the lot adjoining on Chamberlayne Avenue. —Mr. Henry Neal, who has been indisposed at his residence is much improved. —Mr. Major Milteer of Washington Park is improving.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1924: DALLAS, TEXAS, Nov. 26.—The signing of the armistice probably saved the white race from being so weakened as to lose its supremacy in the world to the yellow and black races, declared Dr. Paul Harrington Duff, speaking at the second of the winter series of open nights of the Dallas Knights of Columbus, in observance of Armistice Day and Dr. Duff's subject was "The Spirit of Armistice Day." RECALLS ARMISTICE AT FRONT. Dr. Duff, the principal speaker of the evening, introduced his address with a description of Armistice Day at the front in 1918. He detailed the history of the men in the battery with which he was serving, and portrayed the pageantry of the celebration in the small villages of the Toul sector. Stating that thankfulness was the primary emotion associated with the commemoration of the cessation of hostilities, he pointed out some of the reasons why the world gave thanks thus day. In this connection he discussed the possibility that the white races of the world would have so weakened each other that the supremacy in world affairs could have fallen into the hands of the Orientals. The thankfulness of the American people associated with Armsite Day was great enough. Dr. Duff asserted, to justify the celebration of Armsite Day as the national thanksgiving day. He advocated the merging of the two days of thanksgiving now celebrated in November and the designation of the 11th as the day for the offering of the thanks of the American people. In Memoriam. In fond remembrance of my dearly bevolved husband and our devoted father, Rev. T. J. J. Mosby, who passed away November 25, 1923: I often sit and think of you When I am all alone, For memory is the only friend, That I can call my own. No more are you passing among us, No more your dear face we see, But the memory you left dear father Will live through eternity.

Friends from Roanoke, Va. sent ferns, bedspreads, linen pillow cases, table cloths, preserves and other tokens. Among the surprises was the drop pin in one of the services of Rev. Mr. A. L. James, D. D., pastor First Baptist Church, Roanoke, Va., and of Major W. F. Crowell at the reception, also of Roanoke. They both spoke in the highest terms of the culture and efficiency of Dr. and Mrs. Hatcher. Mr. W. W.

Mrs. Hatcher is an organizer of women and children and is able to get things done. It is a pleasure and inspiration to stop in their home and worship in their services. The system, order and precis 'd on at once impress you that a master is in charge. The children sit together ready to sing, pray, recite and serve in any way. Three intellegent young women sit with them as Matrons of the Children's Church. The largest week end Bible Cass in the Race is taught by Dr. Hatcher each Friday evening. Special engpha is laid upon the prophetic and dispensational significances. All Dr. Hatcher's preaching and teaching is from a sound Premillennial view point.

MOST PEOPLE talk too much and few people talk too little. WEEPING and wailing relieves one's feelings, but it will not get one anywhere. PROSPERITY brings a host of professing friends. adversity leaves a few true ones. GOING IN BUSINESS looks easy but remaining in business is a diff cult task. MATRIMONY is a great life for two or three months at least for most people. PEOPLE, who live on Easy Street are enjoying only a temporary respite from sorrow. Their worst troubles are just ahead. GOOD PEOPLE "sup sorrow" first and enjoy pleasure afterwards: bad people enjoy pleasure first_t and "sup sorrow" afterwards. TEACH your children politeness colored folks. Let them be polite to white folks and they will be sure to be polite to colored ones also. LIVING in the Southland is all right, if you know just how to live here. It is all wrong, if you do not know how to exist among this class of people. WOMEN wanted the right to vote when they thought the men did not want them to have $i_j$ and they tired of the right to vote when the men decided they should have the right to that privilege.

Think of producing the yolk of an egg from a sweet potato, or treating tuberculosis with peanut extract, and you can twist your imagination to parallel the visions of members of the Women's Board of Domestic Missions of the Reformed Church of America (white) who were privileged to hear Dr. George W. Carver, of Tuskegee Institute, deliver a remarkable lecture in New York last Tuesday afternoon. They saw exhibits of rubber, coffee, molasses, paint, ink; vinegar and 94 other useful products which the Negro scientist had created out of the lowly sweet potato. They gazed upon convincing proofs that Dr. Carver had extracted 165 products from the humble "goober." They listened attentively as he told them of the 300 differently-colored paints which he had worked out of the country clay at Tuskegee0e. And last and least, according to Dr. Carver himself, they learned that Thomas A. Edison (white) the electrical wizard of Menlo Park, N. J., had vainly sought to have the Negro scientist become his associate as a princely salary; but that the Tuskegee chemist had decided to conclude his wonderful work upon the soil and amid the sympathies of his own people. The skepticism of the white audience at the beginning of his lecture quickly turned to concentrated interest, especially when it was divulged that "war bread" had been made of products of the scientist's discoveries during the flour shortage. In all, it was a wonderfully instructive afternoon for the white folks, who closed their conference by listening to a sol $ ^{o} $ sung by Harry T. Burleigh. Skull-testers and others, who continue to insist that the brains of Negroes are composed of inferior stock, should have been present to hear Dr. Carver, a living realism of science, Christianity, patriotism, modesty, and gentility.

We do not believe in blood reprisals, and if it be true that more than a full measure of one-eighth of African life fluid courses thru the veins of the happy bride, we are a trifle sorry that she did not come unto her own, as we are at times a bit fearful lest our stock should run out. Here are our reasons: During the past thirty years mulattoes have increased in this country over 47 percent. The high increase varied in the states, beginning with Florida, which had an increase of 115 percent. and ending with Tennessee, which had an increase of 11 percent. The unfortunate situation in connection with the increase, so far as the noble children of Africa are concerned, is that in each of the states which fostered such healthy increases, there are laws making it impossible for the races to intermarry; but there is apparently AMERICA'S OLDEST CITY IS HONORED royal pomp and pageantry, the city of Aviles, founder of the city of St. Augustine, Florida tion of twelve men from the Florida City at to the Spanish government to participate in next April. man should give ear. process you Must Look make the man, they DE BY MADISON 4459-J Lodge Rooms Asst.

A Virginia judge, who recently presided over the first test case of the "racial integrity" law, declared in his decision that "at no time" in the judicial annals of the Old Dominion State "has there been a complete and final definition of lines between the races." It will be recalled that the "Integrity Act" was recently passed by the Virginia Legislature for the purpose of making an official registry of blood ancestry, thus ascertaining how many of the F. F. V's. are "tainted" with African blood. In the case tried last week before $_{\mathrm{e}}$ Judge Holt, the white applicant for a marriage license sued for the issuance $_{\mathrm{e}}$ of the same, which had been withheld by the Clerk upon the ground that the prospective bride's grandmother was a colored person. The Court, while expressing full sympathy with the provisions and purposes of the "Integrity Act", called attention to the fact that the laws of the State already prohibited miscegenation; that there was no legal precedents which threw any light upon the subject at bar; and that at no time has there been a complete and final definition of lines between the races in Virginia. nothing to prevent the increase of mulattoes. Society in those states, thus outraged, has $n_0$ recourse other than tabulation in the U. S. Census figures. ```markdown ``` fl ot “Athletic Page ai Ra | |= ie la | sh oR Me By a 2 i Bee , a i mel oe Kd Le 7 ; = oem PE | ey) OT Ar VW oman, Listed Negroid, Win. Right to be Called White in ‘Integrity’ Case Although several hundred persons in Rockbridge county, Virginia are considered slightly negroid by the state bureau of vital statistics, they may procure licenses to marry pure whites, It was stated by Dr. W.

Holt in the circuit court of Rockbridge won the right to be called white, Dr. Piecker said, Despite the fact that ‘Dr. Plecker's records stated that Atha Sorrells’ grandmother was free colored woman Judge Holt decided that in his opin ion there was “no strain present in the applicant of any blood other than white, except Indian, and there is no enough of that to come within the atatute. He said that the clerk should issue the license by which Robert Painter, a white man, should marry Atha Sorrells. Dr. Plecker stated today, however that any offspring of any member. of this group will be considered negroid in the bureau of vital statistics, whatever they are considered in Rockbridge county. ‘Atha Sorrells and Robert Painter applied to A. 'T. Shields, clerk, for a license to wed. He declined to issue it on the grounds that Atha’ Sorrells was not pure white. She appealed to Judge Holt for a mandamus to make the clerk issue the license.

STX Dear Miss Flc: I am a young woman of 24. I possess a reasonable amount of intelligence. I aw neither ugly nor ignorant, but I am the most unpopular girl in town. My friends tell me that I am too prudish—too old-fashioned, and that men prefer flippancy and flapperism to intelligence and modesty. Now I simply cannot be a flapper with no other aim in life than a good time. Why do men prefer the empty shallowness of the flapped to the wisdom and in disarray of the modest girl? I think, B. B., that you rather exaggerate things. Men do appreciate the qualities you mention, but sometimes the outside glitter of the butterfly fascinates them, and they are ensnared to such a degree that it is impossible for them to know whether the glitter is merely an outhide polish or solid gold. For that reason, we occasionally see pretty, shallow, foolish girls carrying off the marriage prizes that should by all logical reasoning, go to the domestic woman who makes the most efficient wife in the world when she has a chance to prove it. Then, too, there are extremes. Neither of which go well with a man. Sometimes a girl is too prudish. Sometimes she sets a standard of morals for herself which would have been popular a generation ago. The girl of today is decidedly different from the girl of yesterday, and the old standard won't work. Things that were considered positively immoral a hundred years ago are accepted without question today. It isn't that the morals of women have been lowered. It is simply that they have a greater degree of freedom and independence, and they are using it. The girl of today, who wishes to enjoy a fair share of popularity, must keep up with the times. She must unbend to a certain extent, and figuratively speaking, learn to jazz. I am not advising you to do anything which your conscience teils you Called Wasteful $30,000.

Cabinet Post? JUSTICE STAR The caligraphy of W. C. Coffey, Dunn of Minnesota Agricultural College, Washington for conference with President Coolidge has caused the Westerner to be mentioned as a likely successor to the late Secretary Wallace as head of the Department of Agriculture. Fla not to do, but perhaps you are too much like a girl I know. She goes through life ready to be embarrassed at the least provocation and she is always afraid that her conduct will be misunderstood. She tries to avoid trouble so ostentatiously that she is constantly finding herself in embarrassing positions. She wouldn't think of doing this—nor think of doing that—it might not look well. As a result she is always creating the wrong impression. She frightens her friends away. They laugh at her, and she is very much hurt at their lack of regard for her feelings. She is facing a life of spinisterhood, unless some young man comes along and is sufficiently interested to try and force her to lose her prudishness and broaden her outlook on life. This is one extreme. The other extreme, no more popular with men than the first, is the girl who will go to almost any limit to be thought, a good sport. She is a silly creature, and her only amusement is to chase butterflies. She interests only one type of man, as a rule, the slick-haired shiek, who car rides his brains in his heels and is good for nothing but dancing. Then there is another type of modern girl—the girl worth while, and the girl who is really popular with every one. She is a girl with a purpose in life. She is neither prudue nor butterfly. She is the girl who does things worth while. And this type of girl is certainly in the majority, as shown by the increased number of clubs for young women and the fields of service in which they operate. She goes in for the raw, unadorned realities, and faces them honestly. She enjoys a good time—can be as frivolouh as any one but she knows that life is not always a song and dance and acts accordingly. She is admired and respected by all, and is the kind of a girl that all men desire as a wife when they are ready to marry.

So, the "Nervous Wreck" an eccentric girl from Arizona after a ranch offers to take her to the station in his little automobile. She ridicules the suggestion, but Sally and the Wreck set anyhow over the rough, uncooled terrain. After a week, the air becomes stuck in the middle of a stream, and they have to spend the right there. The Wreck finds the bouncing down and can't keep but Sally has to "scare every rock-rabbit in the county trying to must have dosed off" the Wreck trembles. **NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY** She did not see what she was laughing at as he stepped down into the stream and waded ashore but refrained from asking any questions "The coffee's still hot." she said, as he joined her. "I think we'd better finish it, and then fill the bottle with water. And I think we'd better save half of these sandwiches, too. We may want some lunch." She watched him slvy as he ate his breakfast, still rubbing the sleep in his wet clothes all night but he did not appear to be any the worse for it. After the meal he carefully polished his spectacles, them back in place and scrambled to be feet with the resilience of a youth. The Wreck was good deal a puzzle to be broken. She felt that there was a lot of fraud about him, that he was entirely unaware still. He went out to the car again, sound the block and tackle, and then crossed the stream in search of a suitable tree to which he might titch one end of his line. Sally questioned his purpose immediately. She did not see why he wanted to haul the car out on the other side, because they would never get back to the ranch that way. Why haul it backward? The Wreck made an elaborate show of patience as he explained. The bank over which they had adjoined was too small. The better chance a get out on other ants had to keep in mind didn't they? He didn't in going backward. She didn't that he knew more about the structural demands of the job than she did and let him have his With two of them hauling on the truck, Sally in the fliver and the Wreck on the opposite shore, they took the firing clear across and half way up the sloping bank when he started the engine and the car pulled itself out under its own power. It seemed to Sally almost a ruse of engineering but the Wreck no pride in it as he coiled up the tackle and tossed it into the back of the car. "How what are we looking for?" he enquired as he settled himself under the wheel "The ranch or the railroad" "How you still thinking about the pre-wreck" inquired Sally in amazement. "What not? We started for it. What's the use of quitting? I suppose there's a train today, just as was yesterday." "What course. But- Well it seemed better to head back to the ranch." "Thought you wanted to get to arrive and buy your trousseau?" he colored fondly. "Well your father said so any- "Did he? Well. I don't know what going to buy yet. Maybe I'll a "rouseau and maybe I won't.

If you start out to buy a trousseau, for the love of Mike buy it. Don't start if you can't finish. Here goes for the railroad And... He paused to regard her critically "—if you catch today's train, you don't need to say anything to any body about missing yesterday—unless you want to... The fliver plunged forward through the cottonweds which were more sparse on this side of the stream and was out in open land again where it looked fairly level for a considerable stretch "The thing to do now is to look for that road" said Sally "After we find it and see which way it runs we can tell better what to do next" He drove in silence for several minutes heading in a direction she suggested He seemed occupied. She knew that he had something on his mind and at last it came If you tell the sheriff that I missed yesterday's train and if he "THERE'S A CAR COMING DOWN THE ROAD" "This time she the laugh," said the Wreck. "I'll bust his nose all over his face." "Sally greeted this with a joyous shriek." THE going became better and bet- ter, although Sally could not yet discover that the route they followed promised to carry them either to the railroad or to the ranch. But it was a relief to be in open country again where the undulations were gentle and rhythmic, like a long ground swell, and where the river swelled a fairly stable course. With the lightening of his labors at the wheel the Wreck became almost aquatic. He talked a good deal about Pittsburg and all points east. If his conversation carried a note which stressed the inferiority of the west Sally declined to be drawn into argument. He seemed to be happy and he was doing his best to render a seduction and his was willing to be indulgent. As the creature a long, easily sloppy eye she sighted Black Top No. The Wreck whose power of vision through his thick-lensed glasses was sometimes surprising saw it as soon as Sally "There's your mountain," he said, "right where we figured it." Sally studied Black Top carefully. Then they came to a road. Not a wide, paved road just a road. In trucks in the grass she could it looked scarcely believe in the reality of it. She glanced behind the car. The With This Deep One because it is a good puzzle, but it is a theory. The puzzle was made by so many good combinations that we solving it. 26 A boy's name 27 Road.

(Abbr. Archaic form) She stood up again and smiled the dusty tracks as far as her eyebrows could follow them. They showed no sign of recent travel, either wagged or automobile. In spots the grass tufts half obliterated them. On second observation, it did not look so much like a housewould, after all: it was not a road to inspire any degree of optimism. But she asmitted that it was very much better than nothing at all. "Well, which way?" asked the Wreck "Go ahead I suppose." "It seems to go ahead in a general direction of north." said Salt. "That's where the railroad is. I don't know where it runs in the other direction—I believe I should it to you." Wreck nodded and drove ahead. Both of them were rather cross and both knew it and after that resilience was long. Then the fluvier came to a stop that had something inadvertent and ominous about it. The Wreck did not fall into the tank. The tank was its tank. He knew He had in fact been expecting it for the last two hours For 15 minutes there was a tremendous boom in conversation. Didn't he know that he was running short of gas? He certainly did. Did she think he was asleep? Didn't he carry an extra five-gallon can? No, he didn't. How in blazes could he, when he had to pack two grips and a lot of other stuff? Why did he waste so much gas rambling over the ranges and getting lost? Why didn't she know where the road was instead of trying to steer by a foot mountain? Where was he going to get any more gas? Oh he was going to stroll up the corner and have a barge bring it up from the ground. What well was he going to do? Sit there and enjoy Monna Did she think he was going to get out and push it? After it had run like that for while Sally climbed down to the road and walked a bit in sheer desperation. Eventually she climbed back into the car tried to make herself comfortable and succeeded in falling into a doze. When she awoke it was dark and somebody was touching her on the arm "It's me," said the voice of the Wreck "Who-what's happened?" "Nothing yet. We're still in the same place. But there a car coming down the road and we'll get some help." back over the darkened range. Far away, a mile at least, the twin white lights of an approaching car showed clear. The Wreck switched on his own tail light, and strolled down the road to greet rescue. Sally watched. When he had come about a hunched feet he stood in the middle of the road and car drew. Presently she oncoming car drew. She could see his figure outlined him the growing scar. She saw him hold up his hand and wave it. She heard the stepped out of the beam of light, and she could hear voices. Perhaps a minute elapsed. Then the Wreck stepped briskly into sight again and advanced toward the fliver. There was something in his walk that instantly riveted her attention. It lodged things. "Where's that gun of yours?" demanded as he reached her side. "There's something about that outfit I don't like." Sally had already located it, but she was puzzled. "Who are they? What do they want?" "I don't know who they are," he said the Wreck. "But I want that gun. Here, get back in the car." She had started to climb out but he barred the way. "If there's going to be any gun work," declared Sally, "you'd better leave it to me. I know more about it than you do." He reached for the holster, took it from her hands and possessed it self of the six-shooter that it contained.

Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face. One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations.

Mr. and Mrs. Careful Citizen, go now and buy what you need without further delay. Prices are low, because merchants whose distribution of goods has been checked by abnormally warm weather in many big cities, have cut prices regardless of cost. Cold weather is coming. And, more important, the boom is here already. When prices go up on the stock exchange, you know that you will soon see prices going up in the stores also. Do your shopping early, and for the sake of your pocketbook this time, not merely for the sake of the overworked Christmas-time salesmen. The human brain is capable of unlimited development and there is no such thing as overwork for a brain properly developed. Thinking the brain actually grow at any age. The latest proof is the increase of one-quarter of an inch in the size of Lloyd George's head since 1903. A quarter of an inch makes a great difference when the space is filled with the right kind of brain matter. Also, thinking changes and increases the size of the nose, develops the chin. We are what our thoughts make us. Judge Soper in Baltimore decides that the "one-half of one per cent" clause in the Volstead Act doesn't apply to drinks made at home for home use. If that decision sends it will make a big hole in prohibition. Incidentally it will mean more prosperity for graveyards. Home-made beverages, as the doctors will testify, are the under-taker's best friends. Fet men and men with hobbies that enriches their thoughts are only thieves, says the head of a ponding company. And the married man is six thieves as safe, from the point of view of stealing as the unmarried man. That says a good deal for the influence of wives and children. Marriages, as compared with divorces, are falling off in the United States. The Census Bureau shows that in 1923 the number of divorces increased 12 per cent, the number of marriages only 8 per cent more than the previous year. That isn't good news. Mr. Hungerford writes to this column, asking for a definition of the great "social problem" of the present day. The greatest problem is to make a real success of the average marriage. The fault, of course, is with men. It will take several centuries, probably, to educate them up to the only kind of life worth while. Big steamship companies think more rapidly than do our United States railroad companies. At least the big lines already are planning flying boats for carrying passengers across the Atlantic. If anything is to make their ships obsolete they want to own the thing that does it. American railroads seem content to watch their stocks booming and boiling, without worrying about the fact that in twenty-five years passenger traffic will be cut down to short hauls. Fast trains across the continent or only half way across will be only a memory. George P. Baker, boss of several roads, and young in spite of his eighty odd years, should set the young men an example. Mr. Carry, head of the Pullman Company, has long been at work on plans for light, but strong "flying Pullman cars." News from Washington that Secretary Mellon will consent to remain in charge of the Treasury is good news. The management of United States finances, including the paying of billions of dollars rolled up so swiftly, takes real financial and business ability. Mr. Mellon has both. The people will be fortunate if he continues working for them for nothing, neglecting a profitable business of his own. Youth and beauty go forward in Germany more rapidly than here. The German newspapers discuss this question: "Should modern bob-tailed women tip their hats to each other" Another subject discussed is this: "Is smoking pipes ladylike?" Let's hope that chewing tobacco by ladies will be postponed for a while. --- UNHAPPY, undecided, in doubt, worried, not well? Business, domestic, social, love affairs wrong?
