TIDAY E. BRUARY 13, 1926 SECOND VICTIM DIES IN FUNERAL SMASH-UP Coroner's Jury Takes Evidence in Goodman Case The Testimony of Witnesses. Conflicting Evidence. William Harris, one of the injured passengers in Fred Goodman's car, which was smashed at the Magnolia Crossing of the C. and O. Railway Wednesday. February 3, died Sunday the 7th. This is the second death as a result of this smash-up. Coroner James W. Whitfield held an inquest in the City Hall. Saturday 6th inst., at 10 A. M. in connection with the automobile'railroad smash-up at the Magnolia Avenue crossing on the Cheapeake and Ohio Railroad. There was a large array of witnesses, but they were not required to testify. Fred Goodman the manneleur took the stand and said. FRED GOODMAN TESTIFIES I live at 7 West 33rd Street. South Richmond. I was employed by William I. Johnson's Sons. It was on the 3rd. It was between 4:30 and 5:00 P. M. I was at the Magnolia Avenue crossing coming into the city from the cemetery. The train was coming from the West. There were seven persons in the car all to'd, including myself. The doctor took four stitches in my chin and my hand was cut. On leaving the cemetery, coming to the crossing, the rain was coming down in torrents. TRAIN UPON HIM. I halted down at the bottom and eased the car up to the track. I did not see or hear anything. When I looked up, the train was about 30 feet from me. I gave the car all that I had, to clear the track. The road is not devel. The rain was coming down so that I did not hear anything. I did not hear the man say anything to me from the time I left the cemetery to the railroad track. I heard him say afterwards that his sister was dead. IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE "You can't see anything coming out of you get on top of the track. You come up an embankment to cross the track. The track is on the embankment. There are woods on the right hand side of the track that prevent you from seeing. I did not hear the crossing bell ringing. I do not know whether there is a bell there or not as I have never crossed there when the bell was ringing." ISHAM HARRIS' STATEMENT Isham Harris, 1017 St. James St. was sworn and deposed. "I am chauffeur for Mr. John Alken Branch." I was sitting on the front seat beside the chauffeur. He did not stop before he got to the track. There is an incline but be before you get up there is another incline. He was going at moderate speed. I tod him to look out, the train was coming. I heard the whistle. I do not know how far we were when I heard the whistle. MADE NO ANSWER "Tq made no answer to me. I told him the train was coming. It was raining right hard. I could see right in front through the windshield. Mattie Logan, who was killed, was my aunt, but this was the second time that I had ever seen her. She was killed in the accident and she died right at the crossing. Phosin in the car were: Rosa Perkos, Ruth, Rosa's daughter, Ella Archer, William Harris, the chaufaur and myself. I was not hurt. I received just a scratch. (Continued on page 4) Ross B. Haynes, who was extradited to New York upon a charge of breaking into the wine cellar of Mr. Bond, the wealthy. New Yorker, in conjunction with Mr. Bond's valet Henry Bennett and stealing the rare wines and liquors and selling them through bootlegger channels, was recently convicted and sentenced to not less than five years or more than ten years in Sing Sing. Henry Bennett the colored valet, turned State's evidence and was convicted and sentenced to not less than two or more than five years in the same prison. It is reported that Mr. Bond has forgiven his servant and is making an effort to have his prison sentence suspended. A REMARKABLE RECORD Mr. Cummings, the mathematical wizard of the Yellow Cab Company reports that the concern during last year hauled 364,002 passengers, travelled 915,490.2 miles, received 86,413 telephone calls and made 248,861 trips.

STOKES ENTERTAIN STATE FEDERATION CLUB WOMEN. Dr. and Mrs. William H. Stokes" beautiful suburban home, "Rost Haven" was thrown open last Saturday from 9:00 A. M. to 3:00 P. M. to the State. Federation Club of Colored Women. The officers met in a business session with Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett, president, presiding and Mrs. W. T. Johnson secretary. Intense interest was shown in all the procedures, especially in the child welfare work and the interracial problems. Mrs. Stokes, the vice-president, introduced her life-long friend, Miss George H. Fields, of Baltimore, Md., who gave some valuable information of her social work in Baltimore. Every city in Virginia was represented and these bright, wide-awake women discussed every phase of interest that confronts the Race of today. After business was finished they repaired to the lovely dining room, which was beautifully decorated with spring flowers and pink candles. Pink and green was the color scheme carried out throughout the pansor, hall and library. Dr. Stokes offered the invocation just before the honored guest sat down to the sumptuous dinner. Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett was toastmistress, executing her office with fine cordiality. She called on Meadins, Mary V. Binga, Bettie G. Cousins, W. T. Johnson, Annie Hughes Mille Paxton, Lottie Reid, Ellen F. Gray, Lillian Payne, Ida Carter, Mary E. Carter and Misses Georgia H. Fields Carrie Sharp, and Lizzie Brown, who expressed their appreciation of the charming hostess and the cordial association of the club women! The speaker of the afternoon was Mrs. Annie E. Blackwell. She told of the excellent relation existing between Mrs. Stokes and the club women. She paid high tributes to Mrs. Stokes as a citizen and, a hostess and that the life of Mrs. Stokes has been filled with the spirit of service to her fellowman. Mrs. Stokes responded and it was clearly seen that she was touched by the manifestation of devotion to her. she thanked them and her chief object in life, she remarked, is to serve every one the best she could especially her friends and club women. Receiving with Mrs. Stokes were her sister Mrs. A. L. Lipscomb and Mrs. S. S. Sparrow FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE—ESCAPES GALLOWS AND LYNCHING COUSHATTA, LA., Feb. 6.—For the first time in this section of the South since the civil war, a confessed Negro slayer of a white man has escaped the gallows or the worse fate of lynch law. Bristling bayonets in the hands of State troops and the determination of a few court officers gave Joe Hardy, 20-year-old farm hand and confessed slayer of John S. Glover, prominent white plater, a fair chance for his life, and the result was a conviction for second degree murder with a sentence of life imprisonment, which in Louisiana means fifteen years. In this section when a Negro slays a white man he frequently never lives to face a legal trial. If he escapes mob violence, his trial usually is little more than a formality on his route to the noose. But this time, instead of "going fishing," as many of their predecessors save done while "unknown parties" spirited the culprit away from his cell to be found on the following morning dangling at the end of a rope, the officers of the law did their duty. On December 23, Hardy was preparing to move from the farm of Glover, for whom he had worked. Hardy declared that he had been threatened by Glover if he moved from the place, but continued his plans. Evidence in the case showed that Glover went to Hardy's home and shot him with a shotgun loaded with "ringed" shell. An eyewitness the colored driver, who came to move Hardy, declared that Hardy shot Glover without provocation while the latter was unarmed. Hardy claimed self-defense alleging that his victim was advancing upon him with a shotgun. IN MEMORY. THE LATE J. L. HAYES, SR. In memory of our father, J. L.

SOUTHERN AID'S STOCKHOLDERS MEETING IS A HISTORY MAKING EVENT REPORTS SHOW OVER MILLION DOLLAR INCOME FOR 1928. The Annual Stockholders' Meeting of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc. held at the Home Office, 727 North Second St. City, Monday, January 25th, 1926. Like the Society's last year's Million Dollar Business, was an epoch in the economic life of our group in Richmond. This was the first Stockholders' meeting since the Stockholders had authorized, in September 1925, an increase of Capital Stock of the Corporation from $30,000 to $100,000. The shareholders list now includes many of the race's most representative business and professional leaders in the Middle Atlantic States. In Memoriam. In sad but loving remembrance of my husband, William Shepard Cox, who died twenty's x years ago, February 15, 1900: He little thought when leaving home. That he would ne'er return. That he so soon in death should sleep. The blow would not have been so hard. To those he loved so well. His cheery ways was his smiling face. Are measures to recall. He had a kindly word for each. And died beloved by all. By his devoted wife MARY COX, 1816 Cedar Street The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

JAMES H HATCHER PRICE, FIVE CENTS DR. HATCHER ADDRESSES ELKS ON "THE CONJURED HEART" Sunday, February 7th, at 5 P. M. Dr. James S. Hatcher was the speaking guest of the Literary Society of the Williams Lodge of Elks and the spacious parlor, halls and stairways were crowded with a large part of the culture of Richmond to hear him. After a very fine program of quotations, music and an inspiring number by the Elks Band, Prof. A. L. Morton presented the speaker. He said: "Ladies and gentlemen. I have no need to introduce the gentleman who is to address us at this hour. Dr. Hatcher is one of the best known, best prepared ministers of our race, and his great work and character have made their mark everywhither he has gone. He has on several occasions spoken to the parents and teachers and students of this city and especially of the Moore Street School and he always has a message of sound inspiration." Dr. Hatcher thanked the society for the honor conferred upon him, and told us how delighted he was to be in such an atmosphere of culture. Then wading into his subject with that uniqueness and originality which are his own endowments, he made a psychological and sociological diagnosis of the subconscious mind of the Negro and prescribed the remedy for our ills. The critic, Mr. D. S. Longley, commenting said, "The only thing left to say is that this was one of the soundest and most helpful, as well as most scholarly addresses ever delivered to the society." In addition to a goodly number of our teaching, legal and medical profession, $w_0$ had in company with Dr. Hatcher, Mr. and Mrs. Delaney Pittman and Mrs. Evelyn Jones of Roanoke, who had worshipped at Third Street Bethel at the morning hour. At the close of the address Mr. J. A Rogers, the author of that most fascinating' book, "From Superman to Man" came forward and congratulated Dr. Hatcher and subscribed to his diagnosis and panacea as correct. The Literary Society of the Williams Lodge of Elks is offering these, kinds of programs and speakers to the public of Richmond each Sunday P. M. at 5 o'clock. We we come you.

WE HAVE RECEIVED many personal enquiries relative to the proposed radial integrity lawn. To all of the enquiries, we have replied that we could not see that it was a matter in which the Negro or these afflicted with the Negro race were or could be interested. It was a battle in the atmosphere above them. We realized though that it was a vital matter that would raise h—I with the white folks. They were endeavoring to clarify conditions, which had been the work of centuries. They would strike snags which would cause endless trouble and lead to many tragedies. You must apply the law of common sense. It must in many instances, support theoretical conditions. Every family, white or colored, has its "skeleton in the closet" in some form or another and the old maxim, "Let sleeping dogs lie" should apply in this case. That our conclusion and deduction were correct is shown by the following extracts from the Richmond, Va. News-Leader of February 5th, 1926. It reads as follows: "Pointing out that the racial integrity bill introduced in the legislature a few days ago would classify as "colored" some of the most distinguished families of Virginia, various patriotic societies are preparing to fight the measure it became known today. "One historian, who has studied the question expressed, the be-lief that the passage of this bill would mean the classification as 'coed' of at least a dozen members of the general assembly, as well as not less than 20 000 of the most distinguished people in Virginia." This is interesting information. The old family servants as well as the old-time Virginians of the Anglo-Saxon type knew this all the time. Dr. W. A. Plecker may not have so intended, but he has been seeking cheap notoriety, which is reacting upon him with trip-hammer force. We have amongst us some colored folks, who have in their veins some of the best blood of Virginia and this is why, it may be that they will not submit to persecution and insult without a struggle. The News Leader article continues: The racial integrity measure is being warmly advocated by John Powell, Richmond pianist; Major Ernest Sevier Cox, ethanologist, and Dr. W. A. Plecker, state registrar of vital statistics. "It classes as 'colored' all white persons with any 'known', demonstrable, or ascertained admixture of Indian or Negro wood," forbids their marriage to white persons, and declares "void absolutely ab initio" any marriage entered into between such a "colored" person and a white. "The only exceptions under the bill would be the descendants of Indians and whites married prior to 1619, in which Pocahontas and John Roe are included, and descendants of the civilized Indian tribes of Oklahoma and Texas. "It does not except the descendants of two very famous marriages between Indians and whites, which took place in 1684 and about 1644. The Indian in each case was the daughter of a famous Indian Chief. From these two unions are growing many of Virginia's leading families." "At least a score of the State's most famous families are descended from these Indian marriages, it is declared by gena og'st. Their names are not made public for fear of causing embarrassment to those whose racial integrity is denied under the terms of the act. "It is understood however, that a judge of the present state supreme court of appeals would fall under the ban, since he is said to be directly descended from the English Indian union of 1684. "By one count today, six very distinguished Virginia families were traced to this union. From one of these families have come two governors of Virginia. "The trace of Indian blood in each case is negligible, but since the two marriages are historical facts, set forth in numerous printed geneologies, it is contended that this bloody is unquestionably 'known and 'as certainable' under the certainable' under the proposed law. "Patriotic societies here are marshaling their forces in opposition to the new racial integrity measure and are planning to make their attitude known to the general assembly at the earliest possible moment. They do not believe the legislators are aware of the drastic provisions of the bill. "There has been no objection, so far as is known to the sections of the bill relating to Negroes." Enough has been said with the remark that the second wife of the lamented Woodrow Wilson has Indian blood in her veins. Attempts to lower the standards and be little the Negroes will ultimately react upon the white folks. Dr. W. A. Pecker can go ahead with his "rat-killing" but it will ultimately lead to some bloody scenes in our Grand Old Commonwealth. You can say much about our men without retaliation, but when you touch our noble women, may God have mercy upon your soul. A BABY FOR YOU SCIENCE PRODUCES WONDERFUL MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN, WOMEN AND WOMEN SUPPORTING WITH BEARING DOWN PEDES So many women are doubled the bloods. Motherhood, suffer, bear- ing down pains and lead unhealthy and unacceptable lives, that sing from iton. Products Co., 586 American Bank Bldg., Kansas City, Mo. are offering a simple home treatment, which is recommended for toting up and rebuilding the Organs of Repe- duction. With these organs func- tioning naturally Motherhood may be realised. One Texas lady writes: "I must state to you that I am very much satisfied with your medicine I had hardly begun taking it and I dare say that it is the best of all medicines I have ever taken. I have been ill for some time and have taken different kinds of medicines which have given me momentary relief, but I am taking Gen-Tone now and it has done me more good than all my doctor's prescriptions and patient medicines I have taken." Another lady writes: "I was very glad to receive your very kind letter, wherein I see your good disposition to help me with your treatments, which according to the symptoms I have felt, have done me good. But I will say to you, that in truth your marvelous treatments are worthy of commendation. Therefore, I am very grateful and so is my husband. We thank you very, very much, because in truth we have gained our most ardent desire. I am going to recommend your wonderful treatment to other women who find themselves as I was." These letters are only two of many such letters of gratitude telling the wonderful good health that Gen-Tone is bringing to suffering women, in all parts of the land. A list of these letters will be sent free to any woman who asks for them. Gen-Tone is recommended to relieve functional disturbances thereby opening a way for the realization of Motherhood, and a great many women find it to be a relief for the many pains and suffering so common to them. This wonderful treatment is called Gen-Tone and any woman who wants to be in a condition to become a mother should consider it her duty to send to this well known and reliable company for a trial treatment. Simply enclose $2.00, or you can pay postman when treatment is received, with the understanding that if you are not delighted, your $2.00 will be returned. You take no risk in accepting this trial offer. All correspondence confidential.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Thus with an augmented attendance and the eagerness to hear and read the record of the Corporation's great achievement during the past, a gross business of over One Million DoLars—witho operating at present only in its Home State, Virginia, and the District of Columbia—the meeting presented a picture or setting that will linger long in the minds of those who were fortunate enough to be holders of the very valuable stock of the race's oldest Industrial Insurance Corporation. The President and General Counsel, Mr. James T. Carter, presided. Mr. Carter has already won renown as a distinguished lawyer, business leader and orator; but on this occasion, he excels all former efforts in forensic delivery, and astounded his hearers by his wide knowledge of Insurance, Financed and Business in general. His report was a comprehensive and systematic Then followed the detailed financial record by then primed or business leaders and builders Mr. B. L. J. Sandy, Sec. Mgr., where it was shown the Corporation had a great income of $1,118,824.25, and had a much balance on deposit in strong banks and trust companies both colored and white, $889,494.45, and that $871,365.46, the Stockholders released their post up enthusiasm. The Assistant Secretary Manager, Mr. W. A. J. Jordan presented a record of the work of the several divisions of the business. In addition to these reports, the Stockholders were given itemized printed, statements of the Corporation's business for the past year, and thus they were fully informed of every detail of their wonderful institution. After approval of the reports and action of the Board and Officers, the President appointed the following committee of stockholders to bring in a list of nominees to be voted upon for President and B ar of Directors: T.e. Committee, Rev. M. C. Ruffin, Chairman; Mrs. P. W. Willis, Messrs. A. G. Bates, L. T. Johnson and R. A. Preston, Secretary. This committee presented the following names: Mrs. Maggie L. Waker, Mr. M. B. Jones, Mr. Percy Wilson, Mr. James O. West, Mr. Robert, L. Tate, Mr. J. T. Carter, Mr. B. L. Jordan, Mri W. A. Jordan, Mr. Edward Stewart, Mr. A. Washington, Mr. W. E. Randoph, Mr. C. N. Jackson, Mr. B. A. Cephas, Mr. A. U. Price, Jr., Mr. W. E. Baker. The stockholders unanimously and enthusiastically approved of these persons to guide the affairs of the Corporation as it begins its 34th year—and with ambitious plans for expansion. Then followed expressions from many of the out-of-town Stockholders; but it was left for Mrs. Maggie L Walker, to electrify the assembled group by her magnetic speech of appreciation of her election to the governing body of such a great institution. She was overjoyed at the opportunity to show the world that Negro Leaders can cooperate and work 'together in the various enterprises. While the meeting was in this exalted state of appreciation and enthusiasm, the President' announced that all would follow him to the banquet table, prepared by Slaughter, the Caterer, and that Mr B. A. Cophas would serve as toastmaster. It is needless' to say that Mr. Cophas performed his task with grace and to he satisfaction of everyone—and that the fine repast was a fitting climax to a memorable occasion or event in the business life of Richmond. FRED GOODMAN (Continued from Page 1.) STRUCK BY TRAIN. "The roar was struck by the train. (The representative from the Automobile Protective Association was there to look after the interests of Fred Goodman). The train was from the West. I saw it before it hit the automobile. The windshield was wet and smoking. I never saw the train until I got right on the track. I heard the bell ringing." OSCAR FIELDS TESTIFIES Oscar Fleid's, 811 N. 32nd St., was sworn and deposed: "I drive a taxi cab. After the train had passed I saw the car. I was about a square behind Goodman. I heard the whistle of the train, when I came out of the cemetery gate. I was driving a closed Packard. I do not know that the bel is ringing at the crossing. I saw the car before it reached the track. I did not see whether it stopped as the road's rough and I had to watch it to drive. Water accumulates in the bottom. It is a film. I had to slow up and put the car in second come up through the CADILLAC SPLINTERED This ended the testimony, no other witnesses being introduced. At William Isaac Johnson's Sons establishment, the remains of the Cadillac showed the remnants of absolute destruction. The clock in the dash board was still running. The side extension of the engine had hit the protruding spring in the rear and demolished the body by throwing it against the post. The body was kindling wood. FIVE INCHES TO SAFETY Had Goodman been able to make as much as five inches further, the rear tire carrier alone would have been damaged and the tragedy averted. The chassis is sprung, only the engine being in first class condition. Fred Goodman thought as much of this car as he did himself. He kept it "spick and span" and its loss is a great blow to him. All agree that he is one of the most reliable and careful chaufsers in the city and the happening is almost inexplicable. He does not indulge in intoxicants. --- The following is a list of deaths reported from February 2, 1926 to February 10, 1926: February 4— Samuel Houston. 55; 405 N. 2nd. Alfred Hayden. 27; 619 E.

Hatcher preached on "The Evolution of Abraham's Faith." Dr. Hatcher is a story teller and picture-maker of no mean ability, and we were rebuked, instructed, shamed and encouraged as we journeyed with Abraham from Ur to Mt Morlah, observing both the triumphs and the lapses of his faith. No wonder our children fill their church, they can understand the messages. At 5 P. M. Brothers Watts, Gibson, Valentine, Barber, Johnson and Sisters Pittman, Young, Lawyer Denny and Dr. Smith accompanied Dr. Hatcher to the Elks Home, where he spoke on "The Conjured Heart." At night an "Exposition of the Lord's Prayer" was made by our pastor. Note this—The Bethel Brotherhood will meet Sunday A. M. just after worship; Romain and get your envelopes. All of the school children who were promoted in the recent Public School Examination will be felicitated at the Parsonage on the night of February 18.

A How To Quickly Stop Bad Coughs It is often surprising how quickly the heaviest cough disappears when treated by a remarkable new method. Here is the method, based on the famous Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs You simply take one teaspoonful and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals irritation, but also loosens and removes the phlegm and congestion which are the real cause of the coughing. So the severest cough soon disappears completely. Dr. King's New Discovery is for coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children, too—no harmful drugs. Very economical, as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At all good druggists, Ask for DR. KINGS NEW DISCOVERY FOR COUGHS Thousands of people use this tested remedy. Try it yourself For sore, strained, aching backs, you will generally find quick relief by using Johnson Cross Kidney Plaster. Just put it right over the place where the pain is and get the benefit of the support that it gives to the muscles. At the same time it gently gives the added help that you would get from a gentle, soothing hand rubbing. You get support and massage at the same time that the medicines in these plasters are helping to quiet the pain. These plasters are equally good for neuralgia, lumbago, sciatica, sore and stiff muscles, misery in the joints, coughs, colds and local pains in any part of the body. Just ask your druggist for the famous plaster with the Red Cross, made by Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, N. J., U. S. A.

POOR OLD BEELZEBUB. A BOOMING NATION. Some African savages believe that geocities and chimpanzees can talk, but hide their knowledge, least they be put to work. Other savages have an evolution theory of their own. The Batagul, Congo native, tell the Rev. H. C. Grahams that monkeys are descended from men that have been diagnosed. "We are better and prairier than the open," say these practical black men, "therefore we eat them." Samuel Insull tells the world that electricity is only beginning to work. We are a little way, but not far, from the savage that fell down and worshipped an unknown malignant devil when the lighting fashed. Railroads will soon change from steam to electric power, and that will call for twenty-four billion more hours of kilowatt energy, says Mr. Insull. Farms will be "wired" for electric light and power. Most encouraging is the production of Himer Schlesinger, Louis Levy's intellectual and dashing young law partner. Himer Schlesinger says electricity, in this century, will do for the world's troubles and debts what steam did for the world in the last century, after Waterloo, Europe and the nations were called "hope-besly" bankrupt. In proportion, their debts were greater than they are today. Steam came and debts were paid with the greatest ease. Instead of bankrupty, Europe Jazz Dances o Says Booth Was Shot A. W. Cash of Decatur, Ill., as a boy lived on a Virginia farm near to the Garrett homestead in which barn John Wilkes Booth, murderer of Lincoln, was cornered. Mr. Cash ran to the scene and says Booth did no escape but was shot by Sergt. Corbett of Baker's Cavairy and died an hour later. knew prosperity such as no one dreamed of. It was so great that nations could not resist fighting over it. What steam did for the last century electricity will do for this. And that is no dream. "Polygamy is legalized and getting a divorce is as easy as boot-legging," says Mr. Hackenburg, of New York's Legislature, and he wants easy divorces from Paris or Reno made illegal. Divorce and boot-legging, now so easy, simply prove that when you try to regulate human nature you invite trouble. "The cat will mew and the dog will have his day." Milwaukee supplies an account of miraculous exorcism, believed by many, deeply religious, to have been the actual driving out of a devil from the body of an unfortunate insane woman. The account of the miracle runs as follows: A woman whose mind had become unbalanced was carried to the Chapel of St. Joseph's Hospital, where the "exorcism ritual" was performed, in Latin, not understood by the patient. The question "Who are you?" was answered, apparently from the threat of the woman in a deep masculine voice, "BEELZEBUB" Asked why he had taken possession of the woman, Beelzebub replied, "BECAUSE OF MALEDICATION." The friend promised to leave the woman at 2 o'clock that afternoon, but did not actually leave until half-past 5, which is about what you would expect of a demon. The woman then relaxed and is getting better. This miracle, not as yet vouched for by church authorities, was an everyday occurrence in the middle ages, when demons were more active, numerous and efficient than at present. It is romantic, refreshing and interesting to have one of them resume business at the old stand in these days of radios, automobiles, and newspapers. It is said, however, that the voice of Milwaukee's Beelzebub indicated irritation and a feeling that times are not what they were in the good old days. Our population increases more than two per cent, for about 2,000-000 a year. Business and prosperity increase twice as rapidly as population. We should be grateful. or Minuet?

West of Port Huron, Mich, Supreme Commander of the Women's Benefit Association seeks to aid the revival of old-fashioned dances. But Olive Belle Hamon, daughter of the late Jake L. Hamon ardently advocates jazz and presents a beautiful argument. Dr. George W. Davis of Ottowa, Kas., has worked out a "Calendar of Nations" which has 13 months of 28 days each, the new month "Luna" being placed between June and July. It has been submitted and is being considered by the League of Nations. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. SLEEP Physiologists know that repeat gross on only during sleep, that is, the transformation of heart matter (food) into living, active tissue. Physicians know that if sleep is in- terfered with it, an inexperienced manner, the human machine will run down in exact proportion to the violations indulged. But, man is by nature, has ever been, will ever be—rebel. He does not like to bow the knee, even though longer, and healthier life is the reward for so doing. He eats his heaviest meal at the onset of evening, when digestion is retiring for the day. He works his brain after one manner or another until midnight or even later. There are clubs, lodges, meetings of the "board", smokers, theaters. After these he is "dead to the world" until barely time to rush into his garments and hurry, breakfastless, to the office. After a season, he finds that he awakens less readily—he buys an alarm-clock. This raucous device literally jerks him out of bed, more tired than when he went to sleep. He becomes stupid in the office, gets "dizzy spell" and finally consults the doctor. Yes, he has high blood-pressure, far above normal! The diagnosis, overwork! The warning that an out-door vacation is imperative, else the crash will come. Reluctantly the ten-day country life is undertaken—the simpler life. Relief is prompt as a rule—he gets better, and goes directly back to the violations of right living that made him sick! Too often he pays the penalty with his life, before the age of sixty! Then we say he died of overwork. The facts are, that work intelligently followed out, is tense, healthful, and never harmful. The persecution of night into day is a violation of the law of right living, that is sure to draw its penalty with unerring exactness.

BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER LYSTER lost his memory from shock when a shell on the western front in France laid his hikers' feet on the back of his buddies. Before leaving London Peter, had become engaged to NAN MARRABY, who is broken-hearted over the fate which has hearted her, told me she is a former love from the man she had to wed. Nan has been making her home with DRIECOTT, whose husband has wired him from France, in coming home on leave. Joan wished Nan to go away while her husband home. Nan agrees to go after Joan, and on her way meets Peter and LIBUT. JOHN ARNOT, who is also home recovering from a wound, asked the shop and Nan Marraby to leave the table to sweeten for Joan. Peter turns to Arnott with the question: "Who is she?" NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ARNOT colored. "It's the girl I told you about the other night, Nan Marraby." he said. "Oh!" Peter's voice was indifferent. "And—someone else she spoke of, someone else she said she was going to buy chocolate for—was that anyone I ought to know?" he asked with a sort of bitterness. "No," said Arnott. "At least, Miss Marraby lives with her—a Mrs. Endicott." Peter made no comment. "How long are you going to be in here?" he asked presently. "My dear chap, we'll go when you like," said Arnott hastily. "What do you want to do? I'm game for anything." "I don't care, but don't mind me, if you want to get along with Miss Marraby." "Not! She'll leave us, of course. It was quite chance, running up against her." He glanced over to Nan and asked diffidently. "Fine, looking girl, don't you thing?" Peter shrugged his shoulders. "Not bad," he was relieled when Nan rejoined them. "Got the sweets?" he asked. "Yes; and now having got all I can out of you I'm going to be mean and run away," she answered. "I've got lots of shopping to do." She held a hand to Arnott. "Goodbyy." "When shall I see you again?" he asked eagerly. He had not meant to: the question, but it seemed to as to his flips unawares. Nan laughed. "Oh, I don't know!; I'm going out of town soon for a few days." "Really!" Arnott looked aburduy disapointed. "Oh, I say," he protested. "I was hoping we were going to see a great deal of one another." Nan looked at Peter; he was brushing some dust from the sleeve of his tunic and was apparently not in the least interested in either of his companions. A wave of great bitterness swept over her soul. It seemed impossible that she could laugh and talk with Arnott while her very heart and soul were groveling at Lyster's feet. "I've got to go home, you see," she heard herself explaining flippantly. "Not that I want to exactly—I am afraid I not a dutiful daughter really but—I" "Let me know where you are going, and when, won't you?" Arnott asked. They were outside on the path now, and it was with a rush of relief that Nan felt the cool spring air on her burning cheeks. "Oh, yes, I'll let you know," she answered, lightly. It's a dreadful sleepy hollow of a place where I live. "And where is this—appalling spot?" Peter asked with a ghost cried in his eyes. Nan turned and looked at him. He was wondering if he would remember the name if she spoke to him had told him about it so effortlessly. Her life at home and her joyhood, and the gladness she had escaped from her ste "It's a little place in Hertfordshire called Leavenden," she said, clearly. "I don't suppose you've ever heard of it, but-" She broke off; John Arnott had given a war-whoop of delight. hop or delitent. "Leavendeen," he said. "Why, that's only two miles from my sister's place, she lives at Little Gadgethe, the next village. There was no reflection of John Arnott's delight in Nen's face. She had made up her mind to keep away from Peter, by going to her own home; and now he turned out that her own home and Arnott's were close together. "You don't look very delighted. Arnott was saying ruefully. Nan laughed. "Oh, but I am," she protested. "I shall look to you to amuse me when B "You'll let me know when you're leaving town?" I'm bored to death with the country and my three small brothers. Oh, it's reining! A sharp spring shower was suddenly deluging the earth. Nan made a dive for the doorway of the shop she had just left, followed by both men. "It won't last," she said breathlessly. "April showers never last long." She was standing so close to Peter that their arms were touching—it turned her sick for a moment to remember the last time they had been together before he went to France—even now she seemed to feel the chap of his arms round her—the throbbing of his heart beneath her cheek. She spoke hurriedly to Arnott. "Do you think you could get me a taxiab?" Arnott dashed out into the rain—and Nan leaned against the doorway with a sudden feeling of uncontrollable weakness. Lyger looked at her curiously; he peed to her with sudden gentleness. "Is anything the matter, Miss Marbury?" Nan raised her eyes to his with an intent, her lips quivered into a smile. Nothing in course not; no thunder, no thunder, thank you. "Unconsciously she shrank a from him." Do you know, he said abruptly a moment. "I've got a sort of at the back of my mind that --- you and I have met somewhere before." He paused, but Nan gave no sign, though her heart seemed to leap almost from her body. "Have you ever seen me before?" he asked painfully. "You know—I am sure Arnott has told you—that the shock I had when I was knocked out in France has made me forget some things in my life. They say it's only temporary, and that I shall be all right again, but it's got on my nerves—I'm always dreading that I shall across people I ought to know, and not know them." "I saw you that night at the hotel," she said gently. "I dare say that you are thinking of that." "Perhaps I am." He sounded relieved; he gave a quick sigh and looked down the wet road in the direction in which Arnott had vanished. "Arnott seems very bicked to think you will be within easy reach of him at Leavendon," he said, with sudden change of voice: "I suppose you are old friends!" Nan said "Yes," and then "No, and then added, with a rush. I don't know; it all depends what you would call old friends." Arnott came back with the taxi: the rain was dripping from his shoulders, but he was flushed and smiling. "I had the deuce of a job to get it," he explained to Nan. "I had to go halfway down the street." Nan thanked him hurriedly; she said "Goodbye" to Peter without looking at him and ran across the path to the waiting cab. Arnott followed and stood at the door, regardless of the rain pouring down on him. "And you'll let me know when you're leaving town?" he asked. "You promised, you know." he added as she hesitated. "Did I? Very well—do go and take shelter, you're wet through." He shut the door reluctantly. Nan waved a hand to him. It was only when she reached the flat that she remembered that she had forgotten all about Joan's hat, she bit her lip with vexation. Joan was angry. "You might have remembered it," she said peevishly. "That was all I asked you to do for me." Nan did not try to defend herself. "I forgot." she said. "That's my only excuse. I just forgot—I was thinking about something else, and you'd forget, worse things than that if you got little, red demons fighting for your heart," she cried, with sudden fire. Joan's little maid knocked at the door; she thrust a scared face round "Please, M'am, another telegram." Joan rushed across the room. "For me, of course—" she grabbed the yellow envelope, glanced at it and said, "How silly; I was so sure it must be for me; but it's for you, Nan." Nan took out the message. "I have got to go home at once," she said dully. "My stepmother has died very suddenly." "Nan" The two girls looked at one another in dismay. Joan had never seen Mrs. Marrabry, but she had heard a great deal about her. "Things always happen in threes." Nan said saying dully. "First Mr. Arnott comes when the wire from Tim, and now—this." She stood twisting the paper mechanically. Life had suddenly changed from a sane and cheerful thing into a sort of tortuous dream where sorrow and death and desolation stalked hand-in-hand. She thought of Mrs. Marrabry as she had last seen her—a woman in the prime of life—and it seemed impossible that she could really be dead. . . and small boys motherless. Nan's cold face was suddenly swept by emotion. "Oh, the poor little boys!" she said brokenly. "I must go at once, of course I must." It was only when she was really in the train and racing out of London that she remembered what Arnot had said about his sister's home being so near to Leavenden. She caught her breath with a gasp. Was this the hand of fate she closed her eyes giddily Youngest Flier Farnam Parker, 13-years-old, youngest licensed aviator, recently gave Washington a few thrills with his clever flying.
