Many persons were present at the services of the Fifth Street Baptist Church to hear just what Rev. Dr. T. J. King would say concerning the flattering call to Pittsburgh as pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church. He spoke of the matter saying that the publication concerning him was newspaper talk. He had received the call and was considering it. He would not announce whether he would accept or refuse it. He would be guided by the Lord in the matter. It has since developed that the Ebenezer Baptist Church sent a committee to this city about two months ago. One was the chairman of the Deacon Board and the other chairman of the Trustee Board. The report must have been highly satisfactory. This committee attended the services of the Fifth Street Baptist Church and few, if any, persons in the congregation or even the officers knew of either their presence or their mission. It is now the prevailing opinion that Rev. Thomas J. King, D. D., will be the next pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church. CLARENCE CAMERON WRITE AT WA UNION CHAPEL ON 10TH. The Senior Academy Class of Hartshorn College will present Clarence Cameron White, Friday evening, April 16th, in the chapel of Virginia Union University, knew that he is master of the violin. Those who have heard Mr. White Aside from his art he has a most engaging personality, and in playing there is a blending of his art and personality that is almost irresistible. After a recital in Omaha the following comment was made by the music critic of the Omaha Bee: "Mr. White displays many commendable qualities. He has an abundance of temperament, a fine sense of musical niceties and an efficient technical equipment. He wields a skillful bow and the tone he draws is clear and beautiful." The West Loudon (England) Times in commenting on his recital in London said: "The career of Clarence Cameron White reveals a life of inspired achievement. His supremacy is the natural reward of great genius—the result of great things actually accomplished. His selections were musical gems; he is indeed an exceptional artist."

A half-desert workmen dismantling the third-story walls of a building adjacent to Miller & Rhoads on Broad Street were hurled two stories to the ground amid bricks, timber and plaster in a crash that could be heard for blocks shortly before 10 o'clock Monday morning and escaped serious injury, with one exception, by a miracle. The miracle for three of the men was a wheelbarrow, under which they found their heads and the major portion of their bodies after the tons of debris had come to a stanstill Police and firemen were unable to account for the escape of the men, all of whom are colored, and who are expected to leave St. Phillip's Hospital some time this week, with only a few scars about their faces, arms and chests. Fractures Leg. One of the workmen, Alfonzo Williams, 25, 1230 St. Paul Street, sustained injuries to his leg which Dr. William R. Thompson, assistant superintendent of Memorial Hospital, belived to be a fracture. All he said, will leave the hospital within a few days. A crowd of several thousand, requiring a score of policemen to maintain order, saw workmen, fire and ambulance men extirpate the entombed men in record time by digging a hole through the wall of Miller & Rhoads and attacking the debris from several angles. A hook and ladder truck was summoned and af- RICHMOND VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1926 Barker Bread Gain Entrance to Debris After five minutes of frenzied work, an entrance was gained to a pile of debris which led to one of the workmen; others were extricated within ten minutes, and, with the aid of city and private ambulances, the men were rushed to the hospital, after emergency aid was given by Dr. F. P. Fletcher. The roar and crush of the falling floor, caused by diamanting work which weakened the structure, was heard for many blocks and attracted a big crowd of early morning shoppers and workers on their way down town. Traffic was suspended for more than a half-hour on the block. Others Taken to Hospital. In addition to Williams, the following were taken to St. Philip's Hospital: Ozzie Mickey, 19, 1331 West Good Street; Douglas Postall, 22, 22 Oyster Street; Jessie Cade, 24, 408 North Second Street; Ernest Thomas, 24, 700 East Clay Street, and James Roland, 18, 917 North Thirtieth Street. The structure, formerly occupied by Spillings, jeweler, was being taken down to make way for an addition to the Miller & Rhoads store. --- Mrs. Ora B.

Efficiency Expert Cuts Red Tape To Save Money for the Government A $1200-A-YEAR clerk in a government office went to the boss and said: "In transferring the figures for those tabulations, I can show you how to do it in three operations instead of seven and you will save half the work." "You were hired to be a clerk, snapped the boss, 'and not to tell me how to run the office.'" "All right, if you won't listen, I go on higher than I find some one who will," the clerk answered. That was more than 20 years ago, and the petty dispute started the federal bureau of efficiency, the official to pooling machine in Washington, D.C. The clerk was Herbert D. Brown. He had one ome to listen to him, and for 11 years ever since the bureau of efficiency was started—he has been its chief Often Cussed, Kicked "We are a sort of Happy Hooligan among government offices—trying to be helpful but often getting cussed and kicked for our efforts," admits the chief of the bureau. Thousands of clerks will join in throwing brickbats at the bureau, considering it an enemy of their jobs. On the other hand, Brown offers proudly to show that even in its poorest years, his bureau has saved the government at least ten dollars for every one dollar it has cost. The bureau's first big efficiency operation was for the treasurer of the United States. In one room were 184 clerks—mostly dignified men in white beards and alpaca coats, standing at high desks. The bureau showed the treasury how to do the same work with $0 employees. The t H. D. BROWN 104 who were displaced—Brown makes it clear in telling you—were given work elsewhere and not cut off the payroll. Beat Too Much The bureau last year changed the manufacture of paper for paper money, by which it is expected to save $4,000,000 a year. This was a I DON'T MOTHERS ASK THE FUN QUESTIONS Cuts Ree e Gover its Red Tape Government personal touch from Brown, himself, carried down from boyhood experience in his father's paper mill in Iowa. Paper bills were wearing out faster than they should, and the treasury department wanted to give them longer life. Brown took a long close look. "They are beating this paper 14 death," he declared. Beating is the process by which the paper-pulp is chopped up into fine bits. The longer the pulp is beaten, the shorter the fibers become and the finer the texture of the pulp. When ordered the paper millet to beat its pulp, the millet instead of 24, and the resulting paper was twice as strong as before. "Ideas are the big factors in efficiency," says the expert. "The smallest and simplest idea sometimes when multiplied by the 60,000 government employees in Washington, we produce tremendous saving. One Must Relax "One can't always get an idea by seeking it directly or working over time for it. Usually if I try to pail in extra hours after night it results in clipping off that time from productive work the next day. One's subconscious mind often will carry on a difficult problem and deliver the answer correctly if you will just relax and give it a chance. "Quite often we get ideas for efficiency and economy by giving our men a rest after hard work. We send them off to visit some private industrial plant, or some other city. They are not required to bring back anything or do any work while away. But they always do bring back ideas which attached themselves while they were relaxed. --- --- WHY, EGBERT!

APRIL 3, 1926 Some colored people are so selfish that they would not give their own parents a crust of bread if they wanted it themselves. If every colored person in this country would cultivate personal friendships with some other white person, by their conduct and demeanor, this racial agitation would disappear "like frost before the sun." It is this rising generation of both races that is causing the thoughtful members of both races much worry and perturbation. The only thing that clarifies the situation is that the world is governed and controlled by immutable laws, which laws emanate from God Himself. Marcus Garvey is experiencing the inevitable result of having false friends, who are more dangerous to a cause than open enemies. It is a fact that no organization can exist with disruption existing in the organization and thecontention of the leaders now being staged before the public. Some people believe too much in their own puny arms and in their own intellects. They cannot succeed. The National Shennandoah Park project will be a great thing for everybody, the white folks as well as the colored ones. DO YOU KNOW HIM? Major R. B. Jordan, Chief of Police, has received an enquiry concerning an unidentified colored man murdered in Newark, N. J. March 14, 1926. He has been identified as "Jimmie," alias "Richmond." He had previously been arrarred upon two occasions in 1924, at which time he stated his age as 52 years and that he was married. He was originally from this city. Prior to his death, he was in the company of G. W. Brown, colored, who worked with him at the Armour Fertilizing Company at Carteret N. J. Brown is described as being 40 years of age, five feet, nine inches tall and weighing 180 pounds, dark skin, slightly bow-legged, very large teeth, two of which are missing in the lower jaw in the front and who is known as "Top" and "Slim". It is probable that Brown also hailed from Richmond. Any information concerning this party should be communicated to Chief of Police R. B. Jordan, Richmond, Va., or to Chief of Police W. T.

Washington The mighty Hampton Seasider baseball aggregation will sweep down upon the Virginia Union University nine Eastern Monday on Hovey Field intent on giving the Richmond public one of the greatest exhibition of the dinmond sport ever displayed in this city. Reports coming from Hampton state that the team is in tip-top condition and are coming with a determined and deliberate attempt to humble the Unionites, while the Panther nine, the championship aggregation of last year, has been rounding into shape a formidable combination which will give Hampton a real "run for their money." The new grandstands, have been erected; milady, the "dab" and the "co-ed" will be there with their Easter finery, the diamond is in fine condition and the steady slamming of the old "pill" and the "pung-pung" of the catchers' mitt receiving from the twirlers all bears testimony to the fact that Union is getting ready for the holiday classic. Tidewater and other outlying sections have already intimated that they will be represented by large delegations—the stage is all set for a brilliant sport drama—let Richmond baseball devotes rally to the call for the grand old game and turn out on "Burny" Day. ABD-EL-KRIM PREPARES TAKE THE OFFENSIVE Tribes That Submitted to French Waver Again Under His Menace of Roprials. (Copyright, 1826, by The New York Times Company, Special Cable to The New York Times.) Marrakesh, Morocco, March 28.—It is clear that the Moroccan campaign is not over and that Abd el-Krim intends to take the offensive as soon as the weather and the Fast of Ramadan permit. Already the Riffians are active on various parts of the front and once again are displaying great ability in attacking behind the lines. Even the important base camp of Ain Aicha on the Orghaha has not been free from desultory attacks. Certain tribes which, during last month were submitting, are again wavering under the menace of enemy reprisals. The optimism expressed, especially in Paris and Madrid, does not find an enthusiastic echo in this country. No doubt Abd-eL Krim has not the means he formerly had of carrying on the war and there is a great scarcity of food among the tribes threatening famine, but his adherents despite hardships and suffering apear again disposed to sacrifice themselves for their leader and his cause. Certain French newspapers in Morocco continue to publish articles stating that the Riff country is kept going by British moral and material support and that the ultimate aim is a Riffian republic under British protection. By doing so they merely encourage future hopes among the Riffians and Abd-eL Krim himself uses these French newspaper articles as propaganda among the tuberous He has never ceased to promise his adherents ultimate British intervention in his favor, and this confirmation of his statements in the French press in Morocco plays strongly into his hands.

New Way to Stop Night Coughing Simple Method Brings Quiet Relief For almost instant relief from hacking, irritating, sleep-robbing night coughing there is a very simple treatment which, often with a single dose, stops all irritation and permits sound sleep the whole night through. This treatment is based on the prescription known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You simply take one teaspoonful at bed-time and hold it in the throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly removes the phlegm and congestion which are the real cause of night coughing. People who have not slept well for nights are often surprised how quickly this simple method checks coughing and banishes the entire cough condition completely. Dr. King's New Discovery is for coughs, chest, colds, sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children as well as grown-ups—no harmful drugs. Economical, too, as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At all good drummers.

CRIMINAL COWARDS. A MISSING COMET. Five thousand canaries, forty pet monkeys, 150 parrots, two boa constrictors were burned alive in an animal store last week. The animals all died in their cages, lamenting with strange voices. All of them, from boa constrictors to baboons, had this great advantage over man, they did not know that they were going to die. La Rochefoucauld says, "Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye." That applies to men, not animals. The eagle and others look at the sun steadily, and all look calmly at Death, not knowing he is there. Men find comfort in the belief that there is something for them beyond death. Animals do not need that comfort. Here is old-fashioned news. A brilliant Spanish airman flew from Spain to Buenos Aires. National excitement was intense in Spain, and the King has decreed an amnesty, freeing more than one thousand male and female convicts. It would have seemed strange in this country, if, after the American flight around the world, the United States President had ordered Federal prisoners set free. Once that was the custom everywhere. Good news? Open the prisons. F. F. Lucas, of the Bell Telephone laboratory, exhibits an ultraviolet light microscope magnifying 9,000 times. It makes the end of a needle look like a log of wood and the edge of a razor blade like a huge crosscut saw. The microscope is used to study the physical structure of iron, steel and other metals.

The use of the whipping post in Delaware works well for the insurance companies. They have reduced by one-third, their charges for insurance against burglary and other criminal acts. Burglar do not like a State where being arrested means being lashed. If some of the older institutions of torture the boot, rack and thumbscrew—were added to the whipping post, insurance might fall even lower. The professional criminal is usually timid and dreads pain. It is fear of a beating, often, that leads him to kill. Ensore's comet was expected within easy range of the Yerkes Observatory at the University of Chicago on Monday, but astronomers that sat up all night waited for it in vain. Astronomers are puzzled by its disappearance. Discovered in South Africa last December, it was thirty million miles from the sun, sixty million miles from the earth, when last seen in January. The comet wandering too near the sun may have been absorbed by that light of our system. Our sun, traveling through space, may take in fresh sources of light, heat and radiation, gobbling up comets, meteorites, etc., as a whale rushing through the ocean swallows smaller fish. Astronomers will know more about it in 2026, when that comet is due on a return trip. What people want they can get, if they pay. The national Government suspects an international ring organized to give Americans quick divorces. In Mexico a divorce while you wait costs $800, and there is a cheap divorce factory in Yucatan. It would pay some promoter to rent some little island in a nice climate beyond the prohibition boundary, set up a government, and confine the island business to a first class bar and a divorce court. Wandering deer in great herds actually stops a railroad train in Colorado, as bison did in early days. That excites men fond of killing things. Coiffures but? Here's a way to make it slightly waved.

INVISIBLE POISON We have no antidote for carbon monoxide intoxication—no advice to give except keep away from it, and this is obviously impossible in our crowded thoroughfares. The danger-point is the end of the exhaust-pipe of the engine producing it. Within every physician's clientele may be found dozens of people who suffer from indescribable weakness and inefficiency, many of them with poisoned hearts, the cause of which has not yet been determined. Many of them work around garages, and places where monoxide gas is in the air. They suffer from typical effects of gas poisoning, more emphatically true, if their eliminative channels are in good working order, and if there are no evidences of bacterial invasion. It is very difficult to restore these patients; we advise pure air when that essential to life is becoming harder to find. Most gases are lighter than air. I do not know the weight of carbon monoxide gas, but I believe that the human level may become heavily saturated with it, enough to produce slow poisoning, before it rises to higher strata, while in damp weather in low temperatures, it may become positively dangerous to health if not to life. Clearly it is the duty of our research laboratories to find a means of protecting our people from unsuspected dangers. Let's have a "transformer" at the end of the exhaust pipe of the family car.

Upon his return to London he falls to recognize NAN MARRABY, the girl to whom he had become engaged before leaving home, for France. Nan has returned home to her mother, who is of her stepmother, to take care of her three small stepbothers. She will be her mother's friend. JOAN HARNOTT, told her that Peter and a fellow officer, JOHN ARNOTT, were at the home of Arnott's widowed sister, not far from her home. Peter also falls to recounting. HARLEY SEFTON, although the latter claims to have been a friend. Sateen answers Linder, who has been calling on Nan, the day he has come to see Nan, who rewrites his advances and is horrified when in his call he tells her that both her father and Peter owes him great sums of money. He tells her he will come to her to say whether he will press the matter he evening and Nan is in the garden when one of her stepbrothers calls her from the house. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY It was Claudie she knew, and Claudie was her favorite, but tonight she felt that she did not want him, that she could not force herself to answer his hundreds of questions. She opened the gate and fled into the road. It was quite a mild evening—the voice of spring was everywhere—and the promise of golden summer days to come. Nan went on till she reached the stile where Peter Lyster had sat that morning with the primroses in his cap; she pushed it open and went on into the wood. The narrow footpath was soft and mossy beneath her feet—some little wood animal, startled, rushed away into the dried bracken and last year's undergrowth as she approached; the tall trees, meeting overhead, made a dark canopy against the gray sky. She was alone here, and the tears rained down Nan's face as she walked—all her pluck and bravery seemed to have gone now there was no longer need for self-restraint. The brambles caught at her dress as she passed, and she dragged herself free anyhow as she went; she only wished that she might die out here in the darkness and silence—that there might never be any need to go back again and take up the burden which life had imposed upon her. She never heard a stop coming towards her down the narrow footpath—never saw the red tip of a lighted cigarette through the dusk, till out of the silence a man's voice spoke to her—close beside her—so close that Nana gave a stifled shriek, and Nana had turned and fed, but he spoke "Don't be frightened—I'm not going to hurt you—is anything the matter?" He paused. "Good heavens? Miss Marraby," he said, amazed. Nan did her best to check the sobs that were choking her. Peter flung his cigarette into the bracken, and stood beside her, distressed and perplexed. She turned away. She leaned her arms against the mossy trunk of a tree and hid her face in 'them. "I'm so—ashamed," she said; her breath was caught with sobs. "I'm not generally such . . . an idiot." She dried her eyes fiercely, but the scene again, and after a moment she shed up; they were still running down her face when at last she looked at him. A little crescent moon had climbed high above the tree tops, and there was a faintly phosphorescent light in the woods by which they could see one another's face. Peter's eyes were full of distress. "You must think I'm crazy," Nan said. She tried to laugh; she mopped at her tears again—she felt as if she would never regain control of herself. "I've never done such a thing in all my life before," she told him. "I'm not a bit an hysterical woman, really—oh, please believe met." "There isn't anything to be ashamed of," Peter said, his brows were knit into a frown. "I heard somebody crying—but I had no idea it was you. Is there anything I can do for you?" Nan shook her head Her lips were cheater now; she put her handkerchief away deter minedly. "Shall we go back?" she asked. LC13 "I notice you are wearing the badge of my regiment." She did not want to go; it was just heaven to be here for a few moments with him, but she was afraid to trust herself. "I'm not in a hurry, if you are not," Peter answered. "These woods fascinate me . . . By the way"—he laughed—"I met your three small brothers here yesterday." "Yes—they told me. They seemed to consider you a sort of modern Goliath." She was grateful to him for introducing an impersonal note. They were walking together along the narrow little footpath. There was only just, room for them both; here and there Peter had to fall back a step to let Nan pass. "They asked me to tea," Peter said again. "And I may as well admit that I got as far as your gate this afternoon with the intention of accepting the invitation—" needed eagerly. "And you didn't?" There was something pathetic in her voice. "No." He laughed. "I didn't like to when it came to the point-besides-I think you had friends." "Mr. Sefton" said Nan quickly. This was something else in the long score against Sefton, that his presence had driven Peter from her gate, "Sefton, was it?" Lyster said thoughtfully. "I suppose you know that he is a friend of mine." "Yes." "One of the many I am afraid I have forgotten," Lyster said again, rather sadly. "It's a rotten position to be in, Miss Marraby." He gave a half-sigh. "I tell Arnott that some day a woman will come along and say she is my wife and I shall not be in a position to contradict her." He laughed, as if to disperse his previous gravity. "But you will soon be quite well again," Nan said gently. Her heart ached for the trouble in his voice. She longed to be able to slip her hand through his arm and lay her check to his sleeve and comfort him. He laughed ruefully. "Shall I? Sometimes I wonder. It's a queer thing, you know, having your memory wiped out. And yet"—his voice changed a little—"in a way it has its advantages. For instance, I get a chance to see people differently. Sefton, for instance—by the way, I hope he is not a friend of yours?" "No—no," said Nan, quickly. "Then I can go on with what I was going to say—which is that I am sure! I could choose my friends over again he would not be amongst them. He tells me that we were once great pals . . ." he gave a little chagrined laugh. "It takes some believing." Nan could not answer; in her heart she was asking herself a desolate question— "Then what of me? What of me?—what would you feel about me if I told you—if you knew?" She stopped. "I ought to be going back—it must be getting late." Lyster turned at once. "I suppose I ought to be going home, too," he said, reluctantly. "It's a three-mile walk to Gadsden, isn't it?" "And do you like being there?" Nan asked him, jealously. "Is Mr. Arnott's sister nice?" "She's a delightful woman," Peter said quickly. "Mr. Arnott said he would bring her to call," said Nan. "I am sure you will like her; she has been kindness itself to me." "Yes," said Nan, dully. "I shan't like her, I shall hate her," she was thinking in her heart. They had come to an open space where the trees had been cleared. Nan stole a glance at Peter—he was looking at her, too. "I notice you are wearing the badge of my regiment," he said suddenly; he touched the little enameled bow on her blouse. Nan caught her breath. "Yes—it was given to me—by somebody," she said in a panic. She put up her hand to the little ornament with a sudden nervous gesture. "Arnott's sister lost her husband in France," Lyster said presently. "Yes," said Nan; her cheeks burned. "And I lost my lover there," she said. The words seemed forced from her, she tried to cover the tragedy in her voice. She knew that Lyster looked at her quickly, and when he spoke his voice was singularly gentle. "Arnott not tell me," he said. "I don't want to forget," he hurriedly. "I just go on and try to forget—always to forget . . ." "It's the women who suffer in this war," Lyster said moodily. "For us—well, at least we have the excitement and the risk—and always something new—something different—but for the women who stay at home . . . I think it is they who are the brave ones, Miss Marraby. "I hope they are not all such owwards as I was just now," she said, shakily. "And I hope you won't tell anybody that I cried and made such an idot of myself . . ." "I've never done such a thing before," she rushed on. "I don't know what came over me. It is a merciful thing you turned up and brought me on. I might have wandered on for the rest of my life. Like Melsande in the wood." She was purposefully talking flippantly, and Lyster seemed to understand her mood. They were at the stile now. "Perhaps you'll come to tea one day." Nan said, trying to make her voice casual. "We only have school room tea and thick bread and butter, but I'll cut some thin for you—if you'll come?" "I like it thick," he answered, laughing. "Save the top crust for me, Miss Marraby, and I'll promise to come—let me help you." Nan had deliberately pretended she could not mount the stile; she longed to feel his hands on hers again—she felt that she must smatch greedily at every moment with him.

So often our hearts wander To the grau we not far away. We do miss you dear daughter, But we know that you are at rest; And we know that you are waiting, For the ones that you lovedbest. She left our bright home circle, In the budding of her youth; For she loved her Lord and Master, And she walked with Him in truth. We miss her, yes we miss her, That sweet voice is ever still; We must not question God's command, But must answer to His will. May we live and serve our Master, And walk the straight and narrow way; So when life on earth is ended, We will meet in Heaven some day. —Her Father, Mother, Sisters and Brothers.
