MAY 17, 1923 Virginia State VOLUME XLII. NO. 15 HARR IN Posts $2, Boxi Will Fight J Champion Claim NEW YORK, February 18—Paddy Mullins, manager of Harry Wills, appeared before the New York State Athletic Commission yesterday to renew Wills' challenge to Jack Dempsey for the world's heavyweight boxing championship. Mullins as accompanied the challenge with the customary certified check of $2,500 made payable to Dempsey and guarded Wills' good faith. Mullins apparently believes that Dempsey will defend his title during the outdoor season and intends to leave no stone unturned to see that he defends it against Wills who has been a logical contender so long that no man on of his name seems complete until the fact has been mentioned. --- MRS. ROBINETTE COGBILL DIES SCDENLY IN SOUTH RICHMOND Mrs. Robinette Cogbill mother of Mr. John R. Cogbill, went up to her apartments as usual late Tuesday n'ight apparently hale and hearty, except for minor ailments from which she had previously suffered. It was after 12 o'clock that she was attacked with a coughing spell. Her family gathered around her to assist her and she sat in a chair. Blood was seen oozing from her mouth and a closer examination at about 1 o'clock showed that she had quietly passed away. She leaves a large family and relatives to mourn their loss. --- INAUGURATION ENSEMBLE A Grand Inauguration Ensemble will be given at Fifth Street Baptist Church. Thursday night, March 5th.

Marcus Garvey, head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, bought a ship to carry American Negroes to Liberia in Africa, where they are expected to settle. Three thousand colored men paid 50 cents spice, to see the ship on one Sunday. Since then Mr. Garvey has been locked up. Travelers on Pullman cars will hone that Mr. Garvey, when he comes out, will not take all the colored people to Africa with him. No "white help" could be found to do that Pullman sleeping car work as well as the colored porters do it. HORSE AND TRUCK COLLIDE. At the corner of Third and Leigh fast Saturday afternoon, a collision took place between a horse belonging to the Howitzers and an automobile truck driven by a white chauffeur. The two young men were out exercising two horses and they were going West at a lively gait on Leigh street when they saw an automobile truck crossing Leigh street at Third. Linwood Earl Gilbert (white) attempted to swerve the horse, but did not succeed in so doing and the animal raised his foresteel and plunged into the truck. Gilbert was injured to such an *e*vent that he was unconscious when picked up. The horse was only slightly injured.

He has many friends in this city, having conducted a highly successful pastorate here for many years CAPTURED WHITE ROBBER IN ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP (Richmond News Leader, Feb. 16) Highwaymen in Richmond would soon be forced to turn to other means of livelihood wore they all to receive the same treatment at the hands of their intended victims as J. C. Smith of 1126-A West Leigh street, told polite he handed Fred Carson, white of 3201 Floyd avenue when the latter is alleged to have attempted to hold him up at the point of a gun early Saturday night. Smith later told L/putenant Bosquet and Officer Clayton of Second station, that Carson, meeting him at a dark spot at Bowe and Marshall streets, had stopped him and asked WASHINGTON HERE TODAY THIS IS STATION BANG LEXINGTON MASS- UTE-MEN QUARTET WILL NOW SING- ES, WE HAVE TEA PARTY TODAY" for 2 cents. Smith said he handed the white man the coins, when suddenly the latter pulled his gun with the command: "Now stick 'em up and gimme everything you've got!" Smith said that instead of complying, he grappled with Carson before the latter had time to fire. The pair wrestled around a while when Smith got the upper hand. When Bosquet and Clayton ran up in response to a summons, they found Smith sitting astride the alleged high wayman, holding to him by his throat. "I've got him, cap," Smith told the officers as they came up. The complainant then swore out a warrant against Carson, charging attempted highway robbery, and he was locked up until bailed later for his appearance at police court. Ball in the sum of $1,000 was required. After the hearing in police court today, during which Carson denied Smith's allegations, Justice John Ingram held the accused man for the grand jury. Carson was represented by Attorney E. B. English. --- —Rev. N. S. Hargrave, of Parmele, N. C. was in the city last week. GUN BATTLE AT 3RD AND LEIGH TWO YOUNGSTERS QUAR- REL OVER A GIRL. Revolver Emptied...No One Injured. Undertaker Ready. FULTON NOTES Rev. Cobbs spent last week in New Jersey, where he delivered some very inspiring and powerful sermons. He delivered a powerful and helpful sermon to his congregation at Calvary last Sunday morning, using for his subject, "The Great Surprise." In the afternoon, Dr. L. C. Garland and his good people of the Union Baptist Church, Southside, came over to help us in the rally. The Doctor as usual, preached the Word of God in the fullness of power. On the 11th inst. Rev. J. T. Crump of the Macedonia Baptist Church preached for one of the clubs of the Church. It was a rare treat. Let us come out tomorrow. The services begin at 11:30 A.M. If you want to hear a great sermon, don't fall asleep or present tomorrow. Tomorrow, 3:30 P. M. the installation of the officers of Mt. Calvary Baptist Sunday School will be held at the Church. The installation address will be delivered by Rev. T. Clarke, the former pastor of Fulton Baptist Church (white). An unique program will be rendered. The services last Sunday at the Union Level Baptist Church were very helpful. Rev. Rawlings preached and also admistered the Lord's Supper. Tomorrow the Rev. Bro. Harris, pas- tor of Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, Chasterfield county, will preach all day. Our brother is an exceptional Gospel preacher. Come out and hear him play on the golden harp. A DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. Mr. Matt. Harris, who lives at 313 E. Clay street reports that his residence was located sometime between the hours of 1 and 3 P. M. Friday. February 13 by an unknown party. His Madame and Mrs. Ruth Carter, who occupies a part of the house were out. When Mrs. Harris returned she noticed that the rear window in the back parlor had been entered. Further investigation disclosed the fact that five suits of clothes belonging to a male lodger, and two gold wrist watches and $18 or $20 be longing to Mrs. Ruth Carter had been taken. The matter was reported to the Police Department. MR. B. L. JORDAN SAYS THAT COLORED RICHMOND MUST COME BACK For forty years or more Colored Richmond held the blue ribbon and was referred to by people almost everywhere as being in the lead of all other places in business affairs, production and operation of great institutions, and in accomplishments by Race people. Colored Richmond has its Virginia Union University, Hartshorn College, high and grammar schools and is an intelligent atmosphere, with three Race newspapers and many large enterprises, including three Race banks also hundreds of business and professional men and women. However, Colored Richmond, perhaps from too much praise, was lured into a complacency which resulted in a loss of its ranking position. Chicago has the greatest Race newspaper, The Chicago Defender; its Douglass National Bank a million dollar institution, issuing National Bank Currency bearing an engraving of Frederick Douglass and carrying the signatures of a Negro president and cashier; its Liberty Life Insurance Company; The Binga State Bank; The Golden Brown Chemical Works; many large stores of all kinds; Real Estate Brokers and Agents; Fine Hotels, Restaurants, Hospitals and other prosperous enquiries. St. Louis has, in addition to the million dollar chemical works and toilet articles manufacturing plant of Poro College, an unusually fine line of retail l stores, including haberdashery clothing, jewelry, shoes and a first class hotel, Y. M. C. A. and a hospital. Indianapolis, Ind. has the million dollar manufacturing plant of the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. and many other fine race enterprises. New York City has produced several million dollar real estate concerns, is the home of the Walkers, who have their splendid mansion on the Hudson the executive millionaire villa section, which is reported to have cost around one-half million dollars. Harlem is the colored settlement of New York City; it has hundreds of first class business places owned and operated by Race people; has one colored church that owns several million dollars worth of real PRICE, FIVE CENTS LE AT LEIGH S QUAR- GIRL. One Injured. dy. Last Tuesday night about 9:30, the residents in the neighborhood of Leigh street near the corner of Third street were startled by five or more reports from a revolver. Investigation revealed the fact that one colored youngster was shooting at another. One of them emptied his revolver. No one seemed to know the identity of the parties, although the undertakers in the neighborhood were ready to render prompt service to either one or both of them. Visiting the neighborhood the next morning our representative came across a young man sitting nonchalantly in a doorway. In a conversation with him about the firing, he said, "He was shooting at me. I was behind that tree over yonder and he was down near that other tree. He got after me about a girl on Brook Avenue and fired at me. I fired at him twice. Yes, the girl was with him. After he had fired all of the bullets out of his pistol I chased and overtook him on Fourth street." "Did you shoot him then? "Naw, I just wanted him to know that he could not back me down and I wanted him to let me alone hereafter. The fight started up at Second and Leigh, where I ran through the Hippodrome crowd." "What, was his name." "I don't know." This concluded his recital and he locavitably up the street as he concluded that he had convinced the other fellow that he could not back him down by fireing at him: estate; it has several Race newspapers and magazines; a police station with nearly all of the officers and policemen of Race people; it has the best of educational institutions, and to some extent under colored management; it has a splendid Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and one city hospital under colored management. In New York City, Chicago and St. Louis, Race people own and occupy more first class apartments and homes on first class streets than in any other cities in the world. It might be worth while to mention the progress being made by Race people in the city of Pittsburgh. Pa. the home of The Pittsburgh Courier and of the million dollar Race bank. The Steel City Banking Company of Pittsburgh; also that of the city of Washington, D. C., with the great Howard University and the highest grade of public schools for Race people in the whole country; with a Life Insurance Company, two Banks and hundreds of other Race enterprises.

FEBRUARY 21, 1925 PRESENT indications are that the worst enemy of the Negro is the Negro. SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS of inno cence lends materially the sting of punishment for an alleged crime. WHEN SELF-INTEREST is in volved, there are few of mankind, who can get equal and exact justice. IN ALL OF QUR "ups and downs" in this world, we should keep first and ference the divine truth that "God rules in the affairs of men". SOME PEOPLE cannot look you in the eye steadily. There are some, too that you should not want to look at you at all. EDITOR GEORGE W. HARRIS, of the New York News used the language of a statesman and a philosopher in his comment upon the punishment of Marcus Garvey. DR. MELLY MILLER announced recently that according to the decision of a opposed political organization in Washington, he was "a man without a party." It seems to us that this condition must be self-imposed, if it is to be regarded as effective. As he has no vote in the District of Columbia his own assertion should settle the question. His comment on Marcus Garvey is in the nature of a classic, embracing historical truths, which will reduce meditation and study. A NOVEL PLAN. A NOVEL PLAN is being agitated among various white organizations for the establishment of Negroes, that is for the establishment of imaginary lines of residence beyond which neither rads will go. We would not seriously entertain any objection to the plan of procedure were it not for the fact that it tends to impress the public, both at home and abroad, with the idea that there is a racial question here, when as a matter of fact, thanks to the interracial movement by white and colored leaders, absolute harmony prevails among both white and colored people "in this neck of the woods". The plan submitted is that the leading colored citizens here meet with the leading white citizens and work out a plan to relieve the congested condition among the colored people in particular. This is all right as far as it goes. The promoters of the scheme mean all right, but can they stand the back-fire of white criticism and can a sufficient number of responsible white citizens be induced to take an active interest in the venture and advance the necessary amount of capital to bring about a full realization of the dreams of the promoters? The conservative manner in which the proposition is being handled should result in much good, whether the plans as submitted are ultimately approved or not. So far as the colored folks are concerned, we believe they are ready for the conference. Let the "crusaders" continue their good work. CAUGHT IN THE ACT. Sunday afternoon. 9th inst. at about 4 o'cock. Mr. A. Douglass Price was seated in an automobile in front of his residence, which adjoins his place of business 210 E. Leigh street, when he saw Abe Clemons come out of the front door of his residence with something protruding under his coat. This excited his suspicion and he called to one of his men to follow him and find out what he had brought out of the residence office. The faster the follower walked, the $ faster the pursued man did the same thing. He turned down Third street at Leigh and then around Jackson street through the alley between Second and Third By this time Mr. Price with some of his employees in a car were in pursuit. Clemons had nearly reached Shackoe Hill Cemetery before he was overhauld and brought back. He was in possession of the Pritch cash box, which had been taken out of the metal file in the office. He pleaded for his liberty, but within five minutes the police patrol with officers had him and upon opening the cash box, it was found to contain $98.20, which amount Clemons had not had the time to take out of the box. New Way to Quickly Stop Worst Cough A remarkable new and simple method for treating a cough gives relief with the first doses and usual peaks a severe cough in 24 hours. The treatment is based on the prescription known as Dr. King's rule: take just one teaspoonful and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing, without rinsing. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly loosens the mucus and the goblet position which are the direct cause of the coughing. People have been astonished how quickly the cough goes off, and the whole cough condition goes in a very short time. The prescription is for coughs, chills, and spasmodic gastrointestinal, and the whole cough condition goes in a very short time.

It seemed as though ten thousand voices were striving for vocalistic mastery during solo periods of the chorus. We counted not less than thirty-five male voices, some tenor, some bass and some falsetto, singing a solo entitled, "I Want To Be Register of the Treasury". This selection was followed by a quartet, which inharmoniously sang, without accompaniment, a sorrowful ballad, "I Want To Be Recorder of Deeds". A muffled voice took up the strains of "An Aria from Haiti, San Domingo and Liberia" and a bass soloist sang with great feeling, "I'm Governor of the Virgin Islands". After standing by in almost breathless suspense at this wireless phenomena we heard shrill female voices, veritably shrieking, "I Don't Know Where I'm Going But I'm On My Wav". Just then a local station crowded out our long distance broadcasters, and we heard over our clicking one-tube set solemn voices which seemed to say: "What Can They Do?" What Can They Do, What Can They Do To Pull Themselves Through?" and "Good Night" rang out before we could readjust the loud speaker. Half sorrowfully, we started off to bed, remembering that some one said last November's election was the greatest "thinking election" since the Civil War. And as we filled our corn-cob pipe with Union Leader cut plug, we wondered if the BROTHERS and SISTERS are really facing an election postlude of deep thinking—a new political period, as it were, when the pen is mightier than the sword,—when a deluge of deeds is more important than a deluge of words,—when delivering the goods takes precedence over taking them away,—and when, in fact, all down the line, "What Can You Do" is considered last. cope with Union Leader Thus, the B and if the BROTHERS convening of the ally facing an election a Negro Industri inking—a new political visualized, and even the pen is mightier the ground floor And just as we dozed off, we heard a faint sputtering sound from the loud speaker, which seemed to say—"Oh, yes, there will be some changes made".

Py "THE CAMERAMAN." appropriation bills, confirmations, and committee reports, and the Sixty-seventh Congress which passes into history on March 4, 1925, facing its closing days, it does not appear either possible or probable that the bill introduced by Senator Cummins of Iowa for the establishment of a Negro Industrial Commission will be passed by the present Congress in which case, of course it automatically dies and must needs be resurrected and run the gamut of Congress anew before it can again be considered as being a live topic. Reflection causes us to recall that the Yeas and Nays within the Race, during hearings held by the House Committee on the Judiciary, were bitterly opposed to each other. Speculation was rife, at that time, as to whether a project concerning which Negro opinion was at such variance, was a profitable legislative investment for Congressmen and Senators who wished to display their interest in racial matters to the BRETHREN in their districts back home. At any rate, it was lately understood that the industrial measure was booked for passage; and it was conceded that Senator Cummins was not a man who idly introduced bills only to have them die for lack of attention. It is understood, however, that the South ern members of Congress served their customary notice that legislation affecting Negroes should be left until the last call and that any attempt to foster the industrial measure would be met by filibustering reprisals such as were invoked at the time the Dyer Bill was before Congress. Thus, the BRETHREN must await the convening of the Sixty-eighth Congress before a Negro Industrial Commission can again be visualized, and even then it must come from the ground floor up. Thus, the BRETHREN must await the convening of the Sixty-eighth Congress before a Negro Industrial Commission can again be visualized, and even then it must come from the ground floor up. And those proponents who were sure shots can stop dreaming of push buttons and swivel chairs, unless those implements can be transferred to some other federal office much more certain than the Negro Industrial Commission.

[The spirit of work in many of the States of our country seems to be "Toil On, Thou Woman—Look Not for Rest". In Florida, Alabama, West Virginia, Indiana, and Iowa, there is no limit to the length of the work day for gentle woman. North Carolina bravely permits her females to labor on for eleven hours a day. Tennessee laws make poor woman leave the factory and mill after she has delivered ten and one-quarter hours of steady work. Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Illinois and South Dakota exact ten hours of toil before their female workers can seek the quietude of their homss. Nine hours comprise the limitation in eleven other States, while the wild and woolly western States of Colorado, Utah, California, Nevada, Washington, Montana, Arizona and New Mexico are the principal ones which call a halt on woman's work after she has labored for eight hours. The Southern States, otherwise renowned for their gallantry toward, and protection of women, fall far down the scale in furnishing a protectorate for their female contributors to the fields and factories of the South. What gallantry is there in the ten or eleven hour day? None. Such a period is now recognized as being injurious even to male labor, as a whole, much less than the gentle dames who contribute human land power to the progress of the nation. Of course, one would not dare impute the fact that Negro labor, both male and female, abounds in the South, where this group has ever been regarded as hewers of wood and drawers of water, and say that this bulky racial labor mass might be the cause of laxity in safeguarding the health and recreation of female labor. The fact remains, however, that the majority of the Southern States have been careless in their care of female labor, and that Negro women, who are always conscripted for the "hard-boiled" work have been the greatest sufferers from the absence of the eight-hour day.

At the Request of the War Department Henry Ford offered to develop the power plant, built by the people at Muscle Shoals to provide nitrogen from the atmosphere for use in war time. Nitrogen can be made into explosives for war and fertilizer for peace. Politicians in Washington rejected Ford's offer, although the entire South and all the farmers demanded that the Government accept it. Ford, weared of Washington's vacillation, withdrew his offer. And the Muscle Shoals plant, as things now stand, is scheduled to be put under control of a great power monopoly. Every voter in this country should read Henry Ford's statement concerning Muscle Shoals made this week, in response to a message from W. R. Hearet urging him to re-enter the Muscle Shoals contest, and again try to rescue the people's property from scaffish exploiters. These are points in Henry Ford's statement that interest every "I am willing to co-operate with the Government in developing Muscle Shoals into a great nitrate plant, making a fertilizer for farmers." the American farmer "in my opinion, the Shoals should be used for the production agriculture and fertilizer. or I "believe that the Government could itself keep Muscle Shoals and run it, not as a power plant but as a nitrate plant, to help the farmers in peace and safeguard the country in war.

We should not lose sight of the original and biggest reason for Muscle Shoals being built. "If the Government keeps Muscle Shoals and operates the nitrate plant by the army and navy, I shall be glad to put at their service all that the Ford company has of knowledge and experience. Our engineers have been working for three years on the problem of making cheap nitrogen from the air for farmers. We believe we have discovered improvements on the present process. We believe air nitrate can be made at a price that will materially reduce the cost of fertilizer on the farm. "The Ford company will turn over to the Government, without cost, the results of its research. "We will lend the men to help build up an efficient organization to run Shoals. As a citizen's duty, we worked with the army and during the war. We are ready to give the same co-operation to the Government in aid of the farmers now, cost free, to the Government." "It is a mistake to say that the Government cannot run the nitrate plant as well as any private party. This is the very kind of business the Government ought to engage in. Electro - chemical methods of air nitrogen fixation do not require great forces of employee. It is a straight job of letting the forces of nature work for you. The Government has as good men as there are in this field. We talked with some of them when we were figuring on the Shoals. "If the Government keeps Muscle Shoals and runs it for the farmers, I will help, so far as technical help goes, just as much as I could have helped if I had taken the property over." "HENRY FORD." The question is, "Shall Muscle Shoals, which the people own, be developed primarily as a nitrogen producing plant, and secondarily as a power plant, both in the public interest?" Or shall the great enterprise be given to private monopolists to be exploited on the usual basis of all that the traffic will bear?" President Coolidge will decide the matter. Congress will not send him a bill if it is known that he will veto it. Write the President and tell him what you think. Farmers, especially, should write. The President is always glad to hear from any citizen. THOUGH an invalid, and forced to be helpless in her modest apartment, Lucile Richison is "The Sunshine Girl" of Hollywood.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA The NERVOUS WRECK by E.J.Rath BEGIN HERE TODAY The "Nervous Wreck," an eccentric young easterner, is driving Sally Morgan from home when they run out of gasoline. At the point of a gun the Wreck takes five gallons from a tank. Later they are held captive at a ranch along the way. The owner wants Sally for a cook. They discover that Mr. Underwood, the car which they held up, Sheriff Bob Wells, who is Sally's fiance, comes to help. The Wreck destines Sally. "How long do you suppose he's going to stay?" asks Sally anxiously. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Haven't an idea. Not long. I guess, unless he's loading on his job. "Oh. Bob never loafs. He's too active. He's a real sheriff." The Wreck was tired of hearing the sheerir's virtues related, but he side-stepped an argument on the point. "Noo. We can't do that. But do we dare go up to the house?" "If we don't, who gets the supper?" "Oh, I suppose we do," she said nearly. "But if Bob should happen to walk into the kitchen." She finished it with a gesture. "He won't. He's busy with Underwood. Got to take a chance, anypw." "Yes; we've got to." They walked briskly to the house, praying that the sheriff would stay somewhere around the front until they reached the kitchen. Sally did so, breathe comfortably until she made certain that the kitchen was empty. The Wreck moved over to the pantry door 'and' bolted it. "Only one door to watch now," he did. "Unbolt it, Henry. Suppose he comes in the other way? I'm going through that pantry in one jump, and vice versa, if he comes in from the pantry. I'm not going to be bottled up." He unbolted the door and Sally went nervously about the work of getting supper. "You'd better be careful there's anybody in the living-room when you the table," she warned him, and look first." It happened there was nobody in the living-room. As nearly as the clock could judge, the sheriff and in Underwood were sitting out out. Every minute or so Sally went to a window that commanded view of the window to see whether the black horse was still there. It always was overcoming her first dismay, and in place of it angry. The old unreasoning resentment against Bob Wells was returning. It made no difference if he did not know who he was pursuing: from the standpoint of Sally it was no less implausible. Nor was she any too certain that he would abandon the cause if he knew, for he was conciousent to the leaning-backward point—a regular bull-dog. He had habit of talking about enforcing the law impartially against all villains; he even boasted about it. She remembered when it seemed to sound very well; but that was before she had a posse on her trail. She wondered how far Bob Wells would really be if he learned the truth. She was one too sure. When Charley McSween came in he jumped at the sound of his step and a fork clattered on the floor. "That's company," said Charley, and it happens we got company, dam. The sheriff of this sovereign and God-fearful county has dropped to get a little more informa- about these desperadoes that to intermingle.

"One more doesn't make any difference," said Sally with an effort at lightness. "It does with the sheriff, ma'am. He's a powerful eater. I've seen him work. He's a powerful talker, too.

Charley was putting things in his own words, of course; but somehow it sounded strangely as if Bob Wells himself were taken as if Bob Wells best get, plain, ma'am," concluded Charley, "for he sure has talked himself empty." All of this brought a grin to the face of the Wreck, which Sally ob- "YOU'RE TO WAIT_ON THE TABLE TONIGHT." served, but did not dare resent. But she turned to him, him turned to him abruptly when Charley went out, her mind filled with another thought. "If he stays for support means you can't wait on Henry." "I'm not kicking." "Maybe not. But who's going to take your place? I can't." "I should say not. I guess we can get one of the boys." Sally shook her head. She knew cowpunchers. "Timothy!" said the Wreck suddenly. "But I wonder if he will," she mused. "He will; don't worry." "Have you been fighting with Timothy?" and she eyed him suspiciously. "Lord no! Timothy won't fight anybody. But he'll wait on the table." She knew that something had passed between the Wreck and Timothy. She might have guessed if she had counted the dishes. "There'll have to be a reason for it," she said. "You'll have to be sick. You'll have to go down to the bunk house and stay there." "And suppose this sheriff comes in while you're up here alone?" "Oh, I can take care of myself."

Swensen, who still had a way of reverencing to the fact that Henry William Williams was not "very strong," and who always grinned faintly when he mentioned it. The Wreck found Timothy in the shed where they kept the big car. He was passing the time in grinding vales. There was a faint look of alarm in his eyes as he beheld the car. "You're to wait on the table to night," said the Wreck bluntly. "Butfer go up to the kitchen now." "We wait on the table? I never did. I don't know how. What for?" "Because I'm sick." "You don't look sick, said Timothy. And you didn't act sick a white back." "I'm sick," repeated the Wreck "How I look has nothing to do with it. It's nerves. One of my spells is coming on. It was beginning this afternoon—just beginning, you unknowingly." "The look that he gave to Timothy bored him like an sugar. "I tried to walk it off, but I couldn't. It's coming on again. It gets worse. If I don't get to bed there's no telling—" Timothy began wiping his hands on a ball of cotton waste. "I will wait on the table," he said gloomily. "Only if I don't do it right they haven't got any license to baw me out. You better go get into bed right away." The Wreck went off to the bunk house, where he stretched himself on the blankets and tried to get interested in an old magazine. He felt like a man who had retreated under fire, but he knew there was nothing else to do. He was not alone in possibility that Sally might face a crisis alone. If anything happened he wanted to be there. Sally did not find Timothy particularly doff, although he seemed to be willing enough, once she had an apron on him. She instructed him in some of the rudiments, and had him practicing at the kitchen table, with imaginary guests to be served. "It's only for this evening, I'm sure," she said. "Henry is almost certain to be better in the morning." Timothy said he hoped so, because the boss was always fussy about how his meals were served, having lived in New York most of his life. Sally felt easier in mind when he reported that the family and the sheriff were at the table. It gave her a breathing spell. She knew that Bob was not likely to get up from the table so long as there was anything more to be served. Eating, to him, was a pleasurable job of stoking, as she had learned from plenty of experience at the Bar-M. He was even slightly vain of his achievements as a trencherman. Charley had been utterly right about it, so she kept Timothy busy between kitchen and dining room, carrying things that she wanted to look at that that he did not wait, to he of his trips back to the kitchen Sam observed that he was munching something. He brazenly admitted that he had been "snitching" a biscuit or two. "They look so good, maam!" he said with an apologetic smile. And I'm pretty empty. Besides that, it gave my nerves to hear 'em boosting the food when all you are supposed to do is carry it round." Of course she could not be angry. "Who is boosting it?" she asked. "The boss and the sheriff are both doing it." said Timothy. "But you've got to admit they make good everything they say, by the way they lick into it." It did not surprise her to hear that Bob Wells was enjoying himself. What a joke it was! If he only knew it was some satisfaction to know that you were doing a good job, even if you were conscripted. Timothy her informed of the progress of supper, and also made a report of the conversation. "It turns out," he said, "that other parties beside us have been getting held up. The country gets a wind when you're this far from work." 2 Pronoun 3 Weaken. 4 To eject from the mouth. 5 Peruse. 6 Chain of mountains in Europe 7 A unit of measure (abbr.) 8 Wading birds. 9 Chemical particles. 10 Forty-one (Roman) 11 Sense of smell. 12 An evil glance. 13 American Medical Association. 14 To permit. 15 Craft; cunning. 16 Note of musical scale. 17 Company (abbr.)

Each new antitrivance of man must necessarily pass through three stages, the most important of which is the experimental stage. That necessity is truly the mother of invention is shown by the ground covered in aeronautical experiments during our late national emergency. This crisis lifted aviation once and for all out of the experimental stage and compelled a recognition of its practicability in warfare and commerce. The commercialization of its history. Flying is no longer a sport. But flying as a business, as transportation has only just begun. We are carried away on the wings of imagination when we try to picture aeronauties of the future, and we are now possible. Planes are now being built to accommodate fifty to a hundred passengers and to take daily trips between New York and Los Angeles, even as the commercial planes of Europe are making hour-long flights" between London and Paris. The advent and recent perfection of the radiophone is another boon to aviation. By simplifying communication between air and ground, it will not only reduce the number of lost ships to the minimum still facilitate navigation and fueling. The future alone holds the secret of the ultimate perfection of heavier-than-air crafts, but it is moderately safe to predict that, ten planes of twenty-ton weight have hundred capacity at total of 50,000 feet and space to hold 10,000 feet.
