Chairman Farley Announces the Decision--Fight to be Staged in New York. Both Contestants Undergoing Training. VOLUME XLIII, NO. 26 DEMP FIGH Chairman Decision Both Contest Rather than being clarified, the heavyweight champion situation was further complicated as a consequence of the meeting of the State Athletic Commission last Friday afternoon, according to a statement issued yesterday by Chairman James A. Farley. Promoter Tex Rickard was assured his licenses would be forthcoming for Madison Square Garden and for the Yankee Stadium; he was absolved of any violation of commission rules in dickering with Jack Dempsey when the board ruled that under a resolution overlooked in the general excitement and the desire of Chairman Farley to force a Dempsey-Wills match, the heavyweight champion was eligible, technically, at least. However, if Rickard thinks he has but to come before the commission and submit plans for a heavyweight title match of his own choice, the promoter is mistaken. Chairman Farley announced on Friday and reiterated yesterday in a statement that the promoter must return within thirty days to acquaint the Commissioners with his progress toward arranging a bout between Dempsey and Harry Wills, negro challenger. Rickard, after Friday's meeting, announced he understood he was to report back to the commission within thirty days on his heavy weight title plans and added that Wills's name was not specifically mentioned. Chairman Farley and Secretary Bert Stand each declared with emphasis that the only discussion of the heavyweight situation between the commission and Rickard was on a Dempsey-Wills match and that a bout between Dempsey and Gene Tunney was not even mentioned. Farley Sticks by Wills. Moreover, Chairman Farley is quite confident that a Dempsey-Tunney match will not be tolerated here, if Wills is to be sidetracked. Should Wills suddenly decide to withdraw his challenge and forfeit his position to Tunney, that would be a different matter, but, as long as Wills's challenge is before the commission, the negro will be regarded by Chairman Farley as the ranking challenger and the one entitled to a crack at the title. Chairman Farley, admitting the possibility of his being out-voted on the title bote by Commissioners William Muldoon and George E. Brower, who are understood to be favorable to a Dempsey-Tunney match, made the point yesterday that even a majority vote of the commission would not assure a Dempsey-Tunney bout for it rests with Colonel John J. Phelan, Chairman, and D. Walker Wear of the License Committee to issue a sanction for such a bout, and he doubted that such sanction would be forthcoming. Regardless of these developments the outlook still remains favorable to a bout between Dempsey and Tunney, so far as Promoter Rickard is concerned. The match will be staged in the Yankee Stadium here if the obstacles which now balk it can be removed. If not the match will go to Rickard's arena in Jersey City, for in its discussion of the situation last Friday the commission discovered that Rickard was free to take the match to Jersey City without jeopardizing his Madison Square Garden license. The Chairman's Statement. Chairman Farley's statement of yesterday contradicting Rickard's announcement of last Friday follows: "I note in this morning's press notices that Tex Rickard has given the public the impression he is to appear here within thirty days for the purpose of naming an opponent for Dempsey. "He is mistaken in this, for the minutes of the meeting of the commission yesterday, as prepared by Secretary Bert Stand, state that Rickard informed our body he would be back within thirty days to report what progress he has made toward in Dempsey-Wills match. "It is in order to state now that the reason given for Dempsey's restoration to eligibility is the fact that he accepted Wills' challenge in person and it naturally follows that should Rickard even attempt to displace Wills with another opponent, Dempsey would have to revert back to his old standing of ineligibility. "Commissioners Brower and Muldoon were present at the meeting attended by Dempsey wherein the champion expressed his willingness to fight Wills, and as far as the commission is concerned and speaking for myself personally. Wills is the only heavyweight recognized by this commission as a suitable opponent for Dempsey. His challenge was made in the regular way, accepted, and is now and always has been a matter of record." "Nothing that occurred at yesterday's meeting has changed my opinion in the slightest degree as far as it relates to Dempsey's ineligibility while he refrained from signing articles of agreement to box Wills in defense of his title. "Nothing that was done at yesterday's meeting changes Wills' status as the logical opponent for Dempsey. What was done is making it possible for Dempsey to sign a contract to meet Wills. I want Dempsey to box Wills and that's that." SHARON BAPTIST CHURCH AP PRECIATION EQUIPMENT In appreciation of the very splendid services of our pastor, Rev. R. H. Johnson, B. D., M. A., the official board of deacons and trustees, and members in general, of Sharon Baptist Church announce the proper equipping of the pastor's study and official board room for first-line ministerial duties. The equipment includes the following: a telephone, Madison 5687; a large combination desk with disappearing typewriter attachment, in mahogany style; six office chairs and bookcase to match; a new Remington typewriter, a Dalton Adding and Calculating Machine, a protectograph, a safe, four-drawer filing case, a large steel cabinet, and linoleum covering and drugget for the floor. The study and board room have been completely renovated, and the church officers are prepared to give an accounting to the people of their stewardship with the institution of these necessary office appliances which accompany an up-to-date business administration of church affairs.

Mothers' Day W AFRICAN RUNNERS SUPREME The Moroccan Situation Causing Much Trouble Moor Leader Obdurate=Wants Autonomy in Government OUDJA, Morocco, May 1—Cold Haman Cheddi, the second Rifian delegate to the peace conference here, is only 28 years of age. He is an athlete and a lover of all outdoor sports. He is a close follower of track and field events. He professed great admiration for Panvo Nurmi, Charlie Holl Bob Le Gendre and De Hart Hubbard, but on the other hand he be-littled the achievement of Stenroos of Finland in winning the last Olympic marathon. He at least ten men among my soldiers who with a little coaching from a good American trainer could beat Stenroos's record. Cheddi declared. "I have three men who can do and have done the marathon distance in less than three hours. They did not do this over the fine roads around Paris or Antwerp, but upon mountain trails or sandy deserts. "These performances were not porting events, but were carried out in the grim war duty of taking dispatches from one unit to another." A dispatch from Audja on Thursday told how Hammouch Ben Hadge a 67-year-old Rifian, had run from Athas to Oudja, a distance of nearly seventy miles. He made the trip from sunset to sunrise over the wild Moroccan roads, bearing a dispatch from Abd-el-Krim, the Rifian leader, to the Rifian peace delegates. OUDJA, French Morocco, April 29.—Carrying a dispatch nearly seventy miles, which he said he had made on foot from sunset to sunrise Hammouch Ben Hadge, anold Riffian warrior, was hailed here today as the creator of a new marathon record.

May 1,— Culminating a romance begun some several years ago and interspersed by separations, a wedding and cavi- ing a career, all through the hand of fate, A'Lelia, only daughter and heir of the late Madam C. J. Walker, president and owner of the Mine, C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, benefactress, good fairy to children, mistress of Villa Lewaro, today became the bride of Dr. J. A. Ken- ney, of Chicago, Ill., at the home of Attorney F. B. Ransom, Rev. H. L. Herod officiating. At high noon amid simple surroundings with Mrs. Sari Price Patton attending the bride and but a mere handful of their countless friends present, East met West, plighted their troth and embarked upon the fathomless sea of matrimony. There was no show of splendor, no flash of ostentation, no restrained emotions. Just a modestly garbed, radiant, happy, bride and an immaculate, manly, understanding groom. Dr. Kennedy is a native of Arkansas, was educated at Cotton Plam Academy, Branch Normal College, Walden University and Meharry REV. R. J. BASS CONVALESCING Two Boys Helped Him Out. Medical College.

Marshall St. Wednesday, April 21, 1926 after a lingering illness Her funeral took place Sunday, April 25, at First Baptist Church, of which she was a member The pastor, Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D, preached a most beautiful sermon harmonizing in every detail with the exemplary Christian character of the deceased His text was, "Thou shall go to thy Father in peace and approach thy grave at a ripe age." Mrs. M. R. Johnson rendered a solo and the choir sang hymns appropriate for the occasion. The floral designs, which were numerous and costly, bore silent testimony of the high esteem in which this servant of God was held by both white and colored. The interment was in Woodland Cemetery, under the direction of Undertaker A. D Price, Jr "Thy task is o'er, Rest comes to those who toil, Peace is the comfort of the soul And joy thy great reward, Checks are being delivered to those who signed the last waivers and others are scheduled to follow shortly. Those who have not received them can write or call on Hon. M. J. Fulton, Mutual Building, Ninth and Main Streets, Richmond, Va. Those Christmas Savings Club depositors should call on Receiver James W. Gordon, Travelers' Building, Richmond, Va. Those living out of the city can write to him concerning them. Persons living in South Richmond who have Christmas Savings Club cards will receive checks as soon as the Chancery Court authorizes payment, which is expected to take place shortly now. With a little more patience these matters will be all "ironed out." Information concerning these matters may be obtained at the Planet office, 311 North Fourth Street. A Card of Thanks The family of the late Mrs. Evelina Epps, wishes to express their thanks and appreciation for every act of kindness shown during the illness of their mother and for the beautiful floral tributes sent at her death. PRICE, FIVE CENTS BASS ALESCING riences at the one Laying helped Him Out. Rev. R. J. Bass, who suffered serious injury at the laying of the cornerstone of the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, Saturday, April 24th, is still in St. Phillip's Hospital, room 512, undergoing treatment. He seems to be pleased with his surroundings and with the attention accorded him by two nurses. When visited last Tuesday he was seated in an arm-chair looking well. He stated that the day the laying of the cornerstone took place he had just come from Woodville, visiting his members and had told them that he had done so then for the reason that he did not know that he would be able to get around the next day. Literally True. He had no idea that this would come literally true. "I went to the cornerstone laying and got there about twenty minutes to 4 o'clock. A lady was singing, 'Way Down In the Valley By Myself, I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray.' When that crash came a few moments afterwards, you could hear everybody praying. I was sitting with Rev. W. B. Ball, Rev. D. J. Bradford, Rev. R. Beecher Taylor. I had been sitting on the wall and had just made one step after getting down, when the band came and everybody rushed to one side and the crash followed. Rev. Dr. Peyton Moved. "Rev. R. V. Peyton had been near me and had just been called to go and have his picture taken. I handed a chair to Rev. W. D. White for him to sit in. He was just about eight feet away when the crash came. I went down in that hole. Two little boys in the alley looked through the window and said: 'Mister, give us your hand, we'll help you out.' I did so and I was the first one to get out. I would like to know their names. I think that the feet of some one who fell must have struck me in the side and fractured my ribs. Fell Straight Down. "Rev. R. Beecher Taylor fell straight down, landing on his feet. I looked up and saw a jagged plank and thought of the injury that would have followed if I had landed on it. I did not hear any one warn any one to keep away from that part of the building, after I reached there." DR. KING WILL LEAVE RICHMOND, AVERRED It is reported that Rev. T. J. King, D. D. served Ebenezer Baptist Church at Pittsburgh, Pa., all day last Sunday and that he announced his acceptance of the call to the pastorate of that church. The officers of the Fifth Street Baptist Church, who have been approached upon the subject, disclaim any knowledge of any such acceptance, awaiting the time when he will convey officially his determination in this matter. Rev. Burnham officiated at the Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday. PENTECOSTAL SERVICES Pentecostal Services and rest at City Home, Sunday, May 22, 1926, from 2 to 6 P Mj.

MAY 8, 1925 A young fool is bad enough, but an old fool is ten-fold worse. Colored folks are just like white folks; neither better nor worse. Read the Planet. Advise your friends to do the same thing. A woman who is insanely jealous had better not marry these days and this rule applies to the men as well. Marry in haste and repent as leisure is as true today as it was one hundred years ago. Most women marry these days for convenience and most men just to keep the women from worrying them. One colored comedian says everybody wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die in order to get there. The follies of youth have been sung in song and told in story, but its effect seems to have been lost upon the present rising generation A man who can get along with certain classes of women is sure of heaven. His patience and endurance in these matters will prove that fact. They have a great labor "war" in Great Britain with five million men on a strike. It cannot last more than a month without radical "breaks" on the one side or the other. If you married her, live with her and support her. If she is quarrelsome and stubborn, remember your obligation, "for better and for worse," remembering that it is usually "for worse." This applies to the female side of the proposition in dealing with the male side as well. Some white folks are entitled and should receive special consideration on the part of the colored folks and some colored folks are entitled and should receive the same kind of consideration from the same class of people. We should not forget that. Some of our people seem to be of the opinion that they can get along best with a boorish and insulting manner and by asserting that they are just as good as anybody else. This may be true, but this is not the proper method to employ in order to convince other folks of that fact. They are putting long pants on boys and men these days to hide their legs and they are putting hip skirts on girls and women to show theirs. Twelve inches is a reasonable length for some of the latter class of people. Some people, who would "strain their necks" to see the limb many years ago, just above the shoe tops will not even turn their heads to see all of the same appendage. Times change and the people with them. We have received from the Department of Agriculture, Circular 355, dealing with extension work among Negroes. It is compiled by Mr. J. A. Evans, assistant chief. At the close of the year ending December 31, 1923, there were 294 Negro extension agents employed, 35 of which were accredited to Virginia. They instruct in the best methods of planting crops and those which will prove to be of the greatest financial value. The cost for the year ending June 30, 1923, was $353,676.12. A new social service center has been opened in Cincinnati, Ohio, in a building located in the bottom of the lower West End of the city, and fifty years ago this particular section was the abode of the elite of Cincinnati. The building is the gift of Mrs. Michael M. Shoemaker, in memory of her husband, whose name it bears. It is under the general sponsorship of the Negro Civic Welfare Association and is supported by thirty agencies working for colored people. Its executive secretary is Professor James H. Robinson; John J. Emery, chairman; Max Hirsh, first vice-chairman; F. M. Russell, second vice-chairman; B. W. Overton, recording secretary; Miss Edith Campbell, Ethel Ideson and W. P. Dabney, executive committee. We have received Occasional Papers, No. 21 and 22, from the American Negro Academy at Washington, D. C. One deals with "The Shame of America or the Negro's Case Against the Republic," by Dr. Archibald H. Grimke. It is a ringing denunciation of race prejudice as practiced in this country and the ability of this learned scholar scintillates in every line of this truly remarkable document. No less vitriolic in its condemnation of our American practices is "The Challenge of the Disfranchised; a Plea for the Enforcement of the Fifteenth amendment," by that author and scholar, John W. Cromwell. Both publications remind one of the ringing addresses of Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison and a host of others, who have gone on before. Copies of these papers or pamphlets may be obtained by sending 20 cents each to Robert A. Peilham, 153 Tea Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. The death of Dr. William Sinclair, of Philadelphia, removes from the field of worldly action one of the most remarkable characters our race has ever produced. He was a man of tireless action, a publicist, an economist and above all a race champion. He knew no fear and when convinced that his course of action was right would continue the conflict regardless of criticism or power of his opponents. We do not know a leader in this country today endowed with his rare characteristics. We have known him for more than a quarter of a century and during all of that time his views never ran counter to our own. He was as "open as a clock face." Hypocrisy could not exist in him. Even his enemies admired him for his candor. He never struck a blow in the dark and during his scenic career, he was called upon to strike many blows. He was a devoted friend and a relentless enemy. When he closed his eyes in death, those of us, who have been contending for all of our rights and privileges under the Constitution of the United States lost in battle "the noblest Roman of them all." As an asset, the services of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is of a value that cannot be computed upon any other basis than that of inestimable value, when the constitutional rights and privileges of the American citizen of color are considered. It occupies a unique position, in that its composition and membership discard the strict racial lines in a combination which brings to the forefront the best elements in both races. Those of us, who do not regard the flag of the United States as our flag and who are looking assistance to Africa or to any other country as our home and native land should have no use for this remarkable organization. Of all things American, it is Americanized. It represents the new type of American citizenship, which believes that race, color or the previous condition of servitude should have no place either locally or nationally in this Republic of ours. These thoughts come to us after perusing the 16th annual report of this truly remarkable aggregation of colored folks. It is when scanning its financial receipts for the year that disappointment comes. It has received $66,301.38 and this amount was largely augmented by the interest aroused in the Sweet ase at Detroit, Mich. us who do not is either a white that any effort is take it a black well afford to bring about the aims is great aggregated people, either for a compromise to all allowing allegiance flag all of their vouchsafed by THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA course. The record for seventy miles is held by J. Saunders, of New York City, who made it February 21 to 22, in 1882. It is 11 hours 34 minutes 5 seconds. Considering Hadge's advanced age and the rough terrain over which he traveled, his claim of covering the distance from sunset to sunrise would constitute an unusual chapter in the history of sports. The record for the regular marathon distance of 26 miles and 385 yards is 2 hours 48 minutes 23 4-5 seconds, made by A. Michelson at New York City on May 30, 1923.

These are the words of Miss Elizabeth Welsh, the popular actress of our group, in telling of the change Pluko Hair Dressing is making in the appearance of her hair. "Whyl" she continued, "When I started using this preparation my hair was so unruly, I couldn't do a thing with it. Now it is so soft and straight I can dress it in any style I wish and it stays that way, looking smooth and glossy. My hair has grown longer, too, since I started using Pluko."

Those of us who do not concede that this is either a white man's country or that any effort is being made to make it a black man's country can well afford to lend a hand to bring about the aims and purposes of this great aggregation of white and colored people who are welded together for a common purpose to secure to all kindreds and people owing allegiance to the American flag all of their constitutional rights vouchsafed by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States as originally written revised and amended.

Allah is great!" he said. The sentry directed him to the house occupied by Si Mohammed Azerkane, the Riffian "Foreign Minister," where Hadge delivered his message, "No peace without autonomy." Hadge, who is connected with the force about Abd-e-l-Krim, had received the dispatch last night and had come from the Atlas Hills to Oudja, a distance of 110 kilometers, or nearly seventy miles. After partaking of coffee and rolls the old Riffian seemed fresher than did Albin Stenroos after winning the Olympic Marathon race at Paris in 1924. The feat of running seventy miles from sunset to sunrise compres favorably with the established record for that distance over a measured ment at the way even the most harsh, wiry and unruly hair becomes soft, smooth and glossy with almost the first application of Pluko Hair Dressing; and how the continued use of BLACK AND WHITE CANS 50 BIG GREEN CANS 25 BETH WELSH Saw ng Like It! this soft, melty preparation actually makes the hair grow long, straight and abundant.

E CHURCH Quarterly meeting at Bethel was a blessing last Sunday. Dr. Nettingham delivered a great message at 11 A. M., and at night, Dr. Hatcher spoke on "Concerning the Kingdom." He proved from the Bible that God promised to give His Son Jesus a literal kingdom here on earth and that we are to actually reign with Jesus. The sacrifice offering was a great success. We had one accession, good music and laid on the table over $320. Dr. Hatcher left Monday at midnight for Wilmington, N. C., where he is to fill an engagement for Dr. J. G. Robinson, editor of the A. M. E. Review, who is sick in Philadelphia. He has our prayers. Come to Third Street Sunday and hear a great message from God, good singing and see us complete our sacrifice offering. Last quarter we had 12 accessions, 3 conversions, no death, 1 marriage, 3 baptisms and raised over $1,500. We are delighted to have our beloved and efficient pastor back with us and are showing it by a whole-hearted co-operation. We reluctantly granted St. Stephens A. M. E. Church his services for a few days, but we know that everybody wants the best, so "Au Revoir". Dr. Hatcher, our prayers, our cares, our joys and smiles are all with thee, are all with thee. FULTON NOTES Joyful times were had at the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church last Sunday. The pastor, Rev. Cobbs, delivered an inspiring message at 11:30 A. M. Using for his basis, three verbs: "Come Tarry and Go." Our hearts hummed within us, while he talked to us by the "Way." During the communion services the people seemed to be in touch with the Holy Spirit, and there was a mighty shout. We certainly appreciate the financial and numerical strength of our many friends, who always have a standing invitation to worship at Calvary. Tomorrow is "Mother's Day." A special sermon suitable for the occasion will be delivered by our pastor at 11:30 A. M., 3:30 and 8:00 P. M., a very interesting program will be rendered, under the auspices of the Deacon Club. Deacon John Robinson, leader. Monday, the 10th inst., 8 P. M., you will notice the people in a hurry to get a good seat to witness Parson Channer's prayer meeting at Calvary. Admission 15 cents.

BRIEFLETS Dr. L. J. Hayden doesn't talk much these days. He permits his remedies to talk for him. If he says he can give you relief, all you have to do is to send the price of his medicines and be assured of satisfaction. Rev. R. H. Johnson's anniversary starts at the Sharon Baptist Church tomorrow (Sunday). It will last through the week. Able divines are booked to speak there. You may go all over Richmond, but when it comes to music, "Corley" is the "opensesame." You can get what you want by going there first. See advertisement. Try an advertisement in the Planet. It will richly repay you. "C. P." they call him. It means See C. P. Hayes if you want quick satisfactory work with prices to suit. He has fitted up a handsome parlor for his patrons and will take home or long distance orders. His friends are noting with pleasure his progressive success. Try the Planet three months. It will be sent to your own home by mail or carrier. If you wish both the Planet and the News Leader, it will be to your advantage to see us. It will cost you only a fraction over two cents per day for both papers—15 cents per week. We print visiting cards. They are cheap and satisfactory. A. D. Price, Jr., is not waiting for you exactly, but should anything happen suddenly, a phone call by one of your friends will command sympathetic attention. Should you find that what is to happen, has a tinge of the matrimonial fever, he has all the necessary equipment to attend to that, too. The Checker Cab service improves with both age and service. When it comes to low rates with quick accommodations, you can have no cause for complaint. So well is this department patronized that at times other cabs are mustered into service to satisfy a clamoring number of patrons. Get the Checker Cab habit. Robert C. Scott seems never to tire. In the city and out in the country are reached with equal facility. His maxim and watch-word is service. If you don't believe it try a telephone call and watch the results. Bring us your job work. We will do it promptly and cheaply. Two of our news agents tried the experiment of selling the Planet during the last two weeks in the white section of the city and they were astounded as the result. They reported that they could have disposed of 400 copies if they had been thoughtful enough to purchase that number. When they came back, however, the Planet forms were down. They were astounded to find out that so many white people knew about the Planet and wanted to know what the colored people were saying and doing. SKINNY MEN RUN DOWN MEN NERVOUS MEN Don't Miss This You probably know that Cod Liver Oil is the greatest flesh producer in the world! Because it contains more Vitamines than any food you can get. You'll be glad to know that Cod Liver Oil comes in sugar coated tablets now, so if you really want to put 10 or 20 pounds of solid healthy flesh on your bones and feel well and strong ask any druggist for a box of McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablet. Only 60 cents for 60 tablets and if you don't gain five pounds in 30 days your druggist is authorized to hand you back your money. It isn't anything unusual for a person to gain 10 pounds in 30 days.

Praises Small Town Movie Fans AUTOCASTER Douglas Fairbanks, famous motion picture actor, says the small town audience is a better judge of pictures than those in the big city. Before releasing his pictures he always exhibits them four or five times in rural theatres to find out what is wrong with his work. SIX ```markdown ``` This Week By Arthur Brisbane MR. LEWIS, GO TO THE ANT MAUNA LOA A PAINFUL CURE 250 MILLION TRUST Sinclair Lewis, a novelist, thinks he doesn't believe in God, and that his unbelief is important. Last Monday, in the role of a clergyman, upside down, just to prove that "there is no God," Mr. Lewis publicly defied Divine Power to strike him dead. He said, with lack of good taste, "I defy Him to strike me down within the next ten minutes." Nothing happened, so Mr. Lewis and the sort that listen to such childishness doubtless believe that something important has been demonstrated. Mr. Storey, of the Santa Fe, manages railroads from Chicago to the Pacific, with hundreds of thousands of railroad ties, and ants everywhere busy between the ties. One ant says: "They say that a mysterious W. B. Storey runs this railroad, but I know there is no such person. And just to prove it I defy him to come and strike me dead." At the end of ten minutes that ant would feel as proud as Mr. Sinclair Lewis. It would not mean that Mr. Storey couldn't strike down the ant, or that the Ruler of this universe couldn't strike Sinclair Lewis dead, if it were worth while. The point is that it isn't worth while. Just what the power is that manages this and other universes, with their billions of suns, man cannot know, except for the teachings of faith. The ancient philosopher said: "If the camel had a god his god would have four legs and a bump." Man, like that imaginary camel inclined to create God in his own image, has invented many kinds of gods, attributing to them the Praises Small Town Douglas Fairbanks, famous motown audience is a better judge of pi.

Mauna Loa, great Hawaiian volcano, is showing us how those Pacific islands were built up, from below the sea. From the top of Mauna Loa melted rock once more comes rushing down, burying under lava fifty feet deep the native village of Hoopulau, hurrying the inhabitants to the Hawaiian heaven, causing the ocean to boil several hundred feet out from shore and destroying, of course, millions of fish, as well as the one small native village. Thus, for hundreds of millions of years, old earth has been shaping itself, from the inside, with volcanos and upheavals indescribable. All of England was once at the bottom of the sea. Tiny marine creatures built Britain's chalk cliffs when those cliffs were at the ocean's bottom. For millions of years more the work will go on. It is evident to science and common sense that, while the earth may have been created, roughly speaking, in six days, it was not quite finished in that time. A large "class" of automobile offenders, including the young lady who just couldn't keep her foot off the beautiful and agile dancer, Lillian B. Accelerator, were to inspect the white-sheeted figures in the morgue. Judge L. P. Russell, of Los Angeles, leads the "class" and invented it. He thinks reckless drivers will pause and reflect when they see what a body looks like, after the automobile hit it. Teachers in Paris had a similar idea. They took entire classes of boys to see those that had been killed by the most dreadful diseases, or even to the insane asylum to "inspect" victims of absinthe and other vices. It must be a painful cure. The Department of Justice will investigate what is called "The Two Hundred and Fifty Million Dollar Fertilizer Trust." The department might find out what particular influence, and whose money, kept a prominent automobile manufacturer from getting Muscle Shoals, when he announced his plan to give the farmers cheap fertilizers. That plan, of course, would have ruined any fertilizer trust.

THE RICHMOND PLANET; RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. IVY POISONING. The Ivy plant grows wild in many parts of the United States especially in timbered sections. It may be recognized by its three leaves on each leaf-stem; the harmless Virginia creeper or wood-vine has five. Hundreds of tiny "root-lets," by which it clings to the trees or fence-posts where it finds lodging, helps to make identification of this dreaded growth easy. Some people are not susceptible to the poison, and can handle it with impunity; but in others, it produces terrible stinging, burning, and swelling of the skin, which becomes covered with watery blisters. Eyes may be closed by swelling, and the ears enlarged to twice their size. Contact is not necessary to susceptible people; those of fair skin may be attacked by walking near the plant when it is in bloom, or when it is in vigorous growth. I have never known a death to occur from ivy poisoning, though few skin afflictions are more distressing. In management, it is well to remember that we are dealing with an acid poison. Therefore, alkalines stand first in medicinal treatment. Lead lotions are extensively used, because of their soothing effect, but lead-salts are themselves poisonous; and, no fluid or lotion employed should be permitted to get into the eyes. My best success in treatment has been derived from the use of alcohol and lime-water, equal parts, and applied on cloths, wet with the mixture. It is clean—does not stain, and has no offensive odor. It may be employed freely without danger. The trouble should be cleared up in two to four days. Next Week:---- "MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY" AUTOCASTER Washington, D.

Upon his return to London, he is taken to NAN MARRABY, to whom he has become engaged prior to his descent forance. Nan has since left London to return to London, her three motherless stepbrothers. She is still in touch with her friend JOA, in London, whose husband has been sent to encourage the very apparent love of Peter's friend and fellow officer. JOHN ARNOTT, with whom Peter is now the home of Arnott's widowed sister, from the Marrabry estate. Nan is from the Arnott's sister and disguised with her HarLEY SEPTON, money lender, who has told Nan that both Peter and Joa him great sums of money and that he demanded unless she agrees to him. In a woods near the HarLEY SEPTON, surprised by Peter in the act of surprise upon Nan. Nan, afraid of what she can might say to the brainsick man, can only away and rushes back to her home. Actor Peter calls, but Ban refuses to regret this. She is beginning to regret this impulsive action when she hears her father calling. "I am going to London tonight," he said abruptly, he seemed to avoid meeting Nan's eyes. "I may be away some time—you will be all right here without me." A little ironical smile crossed Nan's face; all right without him! Why, she hardly ever saw him from one week's end to the other, save when she went to ask about his meals, or for money for household expenses. "Quite all right," she said. "Have you got enough money to go on with?" he asked. Nan colored; money had been her chief bugear ever since she came home; she had soon found that there were many bills owing for household expenses, and Nan bated debt; she had insisted on their being paid. "Father, what do you know about Mr. Sefton?" "Softon!" he echoed. "Softon Nothing—except that he is a bust, ness acquaintance of mine. Why do you ask?" Nan did not answer at once; then she said, clearly: "Because this afternoon he asked me to marry him." Mr. Marraby swung round-for fully a moment he stared at his daughter with sheer imasement—then he took an uncertain step forward and peered down into her face. "Asked—you—to marry him! Are you sure?" Nan looked away with a sudden shrill sheep. "Quite sure," she said coldly. "And you—what did you say, Nan?" She realized that he would be quite willing to sell her—on the offered terms. "I told him that if he insulted me again I would tell you and ask you to forbid him the house," she said clearly. He tried to pull himself together, if he went on hurriedly; "no insult in asking a woman to marry me. I don't know what the girls of today expect. Setton is a rich man; he could give you everything you want." "Yes, so he told me." "Well—well," he stammered in his anxiety, "what more do you require? He's a very decent fellow; he has been a good friend to me. I should like to see you married to him." I have a face named. "I haven't the least doubt that you one said bitterly. Mr. Mar- ry have pacing up and down the room to tell me that you can't say" he demanded trucu- lary "don't realize what this you don't—" "I can't feel well." Nan said "Setton told me." "Told you!" his angry eyes fell be fore here. "He told me that you owed him money," Nan said. "And that he would be willing to cancel the debt in exchange for—me!" "He told you—that!" There was no shame in his voice, only a sort of incredulous gladness that turned Nan sick. He clutched her arm— "And you refused?—you didn't refuse, Nan? Even you could not be so selfish!" Nan's eyes blazed. "Then it is true?" she said. "True—of course it's true—how do you imagine I can live on the few pounds I've managed to make since this internal war broke out?" "Father!" said Nan. "If you were a dutiful girl you'd R.J. SCOTT "If you were a dutiful girl you'd marry Sefton and secure me." marry Sefton and secure me," he went on furiously. "But you never cared what became of me or my mother and brothers, as long as you were free to do as you liked and go your own way. This is my one chance—it's more than I dared hope for." "And me! What about me and my happiness?" Nan asked. Her eyes were cold as stone. Nan turned and walked out of the room. There were some letters lying on the hall table. One was for her from Joan Endicott; she broke the nap and drew out its contents. Four pages of the usual small, superfluous chat, she supposed wearily. But today Joan seemed to have struck a deeper vein than usual; there was a very real anguish in the first few words—the wonderful Tim, it appeared, had gone back to France—his leave was at an end, and the world was desolate in consequence. "I'm all alone again. Nan—Tim has gone, and I feel as if my heart will break. To have to stay in the house where we have been so happy—without him—to have nothing to look forward to." Nan crumpled the letter angrily. Nothing to look forward to—when she had just lived through perfect happiness! Nothing to look forward to—when she herself would have sacrificed all the future for just one day out of the happy past. For two days Nan saw nothing of Peter John Arnott came over once, but he seemed distrait and nervous; he had lost his usual cheerless. During the shor while he was in the house he fidgeted about the room a good deal and talked jerkly; Nah was surprised to discover that he rather bored her; she was relieved when he rose to go. "When shall I see you again?" he asked. Nah was faintly amazed. "Whenever you like," she said. "Come over when you like; I am always glad to see you." "I wish I could believe that," he said bluntly. "How is Mr. Lyster?" Nan asked. She felt that it was a safeguard to thrust Peter's name between them. Arnott pulled his cap over his eyes savagely. "He hasn't been up to the mark lately," he said. "Chap seems to be worrying about something." Nan caught her breath. "Worrying!" "Yes." Arnott did not look at her. "If I didn't know him so well, I should say he was worried over business matters, but as it is." "You mean money?" Nan asked. He shrugged his shoulders. "I've always found him most scrupulous; one of the straightest chape I know." He glanced down at her. "But you don't want me to tell you that, he added. "No," said Nan. "I don't need you to tell me that." They were walking slowly down the garden, and Arnott suddenly turned, looking at her with pleading eyes. "Miss Marriaby—you—you won't think I am an awful rotter if I—if I ask you e—a personal question." "No—please do." She thought she knew what was coming. He ran an agitated finger round his soft collar. "It's about Lyster. . . I-you... would it be possible for... for any other fellow-to-to stand a ghost of a chance. . . I mean-a ghost of a chance—with you?" The words were incoherent; his face was fiery red long before he had flicked it. "Of course, I know people don't ever care twice in the same way—but. but if you met a decent chap—a chap who would get bright—and be good to you or perhaps... in time. oh, I hope you don't hate me for asking you?" "I don't mind you asking me," she said, frankly. "Though I should hate it from some people. And I don't mind telling you—though there is hardly anyone else in the world I would tell—that I'm afraid I'm—I'm one of those poor creatures—who can't forget. I've never cared for someone except I sigh in all my life." "I little shig shook her. I don't think it is like that I shall ever care for anyone else." Added. Arnott squirmed his shoulders. "Thank you." he said quietly. "I understand." He stood beside her for a moment, then suddenly he caught her hand in his and raised it awkwardly to his lips. Nan gave a little protesting cry, but somehow she was pleased, and before she could say a word he had opened the gate and was striding off down the lane at a tremendous rate. There was a suspicious moisture in Nan's eyes as she looked after him. "He'd make somebody a splendid husband," she thought. "I wish-I almost wish "" but she did not finish the sentence. What was the use of wishing anything? She heard the boys' voices down the road, and the next moment they had turned the bend and were coming towards her, with Peter Lyster himself. It was too late for Nan to escape. They had all seen her, she knew, and Claudie ran forward from the others towards her, calling out that he had found a bird's nest with four eggs in it. Nan opened the gate. She felt as if she were walking on air. Oh. Claudie!' she said reproachfully. She bent over the child to hide her from Peter. "Oh, I hope you diddn't them," she said. "He wouldn't jerk me," he said with a backward jerk of his head in Peter's direction. "Quite right, too." Nan decked; she had to meet Peter now; she forced her eyes to his face.

WAS A POPULAR FIGURE Mayor and Other Officials Present —The Negroes Have CARTERET, N. J., April 28.—The body of John Carroll, boxer, a popular figure here, who was stabbed to death by a negro early Sunday morning, was buried today in St. James's Catholic Cemetery in Woodbridge. There was no disturbance, and only the charred timbers of the Negro Baptist Church stand as a reminder of the rioting, the burning of the church and the expulsion of the negroes that followed the killing. Carroll's funeral was said to be the largest Carteret has ever seen. There There were seventy-five cars in the line that followed the white hearse. As the long cortex passed through the streets and by the wreck of the Baptist Church, work was suspended and the side walks were lined with people. Preceding the line was a detail of mortorcycle policemen with pistols and cartridge belts strapped outside their uniforms. There was not a negro in sight, although the funeral line skirted "The Jungle," as the colored section is called. Liver Near Negro Pastor The coffin was carried from the Carroll house in Union Street at 10 o'clock. The house is only a few doors from the house of the Rev. George Reed, the negro pastor who was driven out of town and who sought refuge in Elizabeth. There was a crowd about the door and the block was filled with parked cars. The crowd was in the main made up of young men of about Carroll's age, which was 26. Many had been reared with him. Others were present, however, who came from New York and elsewhere, and who had known the boxer during his ring career. There were many policemen about. The pallbearers were William Nash, Carroll's lifelong friend and manager; City Councilman Edward J. Coughlin, William Curry, Richard S. Craddock, Anthony (Soup) Wilhelm and Dick Lynch. Close beside walked Charlie (the Wop) Montelone, who had been the boxer's second in all of his fights. Many floral tributes were sent, some of them irrom business men of the neighborhood and from those who had known Carroll in the ring. The Port Reading Athletic Club sent a wreath and another piece came from the Carteret Democratic Club. Mayor at Requiem Mass Mayor Mulvihill and Chief of Police Henry Harrington were among those at the church. A requiem mass was said by the Rev. James R. O'Connor, pastor, in St. Joseph's Church, where about 700 men, women and children were in the church and about half as many again were massed outside the building. "I asked to pray that you keep the holy law of God," Father O'Connor said. "Let nothing be done that in after years will cast a shadow of reflection on those whom he has left behind. Do all in your power to keep the laws of God and the laws of the land." The pallbearers walked on each side of the hearse until the limits of the town were reached. This made the pace of the cars slow and it took many minutes for the line to wind its way through the business section along Roosevelt Avenue. Raise Fund For Widow. Services at the grave were brief. A fund is being raised for the widow and her three children. It was said today that about $3,000 had been raised. Of this sum $600 was subscribed by the Carteret Fire Department. During a series of boxing bouts in New Brunswick last night a collection was taken up. Carteret is quiet today. Only three negroes were seen in the afternoon, two on the porch of a house, quarantined because of smallpox, and one, a very old resident, went scurrying along a side street. The statement of Pastor Reed that some of the negroes, under promise of police protection, expected soon to return to Carteret has aroused interest. The authorities repeated that protection would be given to all citizens. Others are not discussing the return openly. It is being discussed quietly, and while things are calm a tense feeling remains.

NEGROES' PART A SESQUI FEATURE. Contribution of Race to Be Shown at the Exposition. The Director of Negro Activities, Hon. J. C. Asbury, has just announced the completion of plans for Negro participation in the Sesquientennial International Exposition to be held in Uhiladelphia this year. This announcement includes the completion of arrangements for participations on the part of educational institutions and many of the industrial activities that have been developed by Negroes during the existence of American Independence. Not only industrial schools, but schools of science, art and literature are to be included in the showing to be made at the exposition. In addition to general exhibits that are to be made in the various phases in the exposition program, there will also appear a composite picture in exhibition form of the Negro Activities in American along educational and cultural lines. In developing this composite exhibit, Mr. Thomas J. Calloway, of Maryland, secretary of the Maryland Interracial Commission, has been secured and has been designated as manager of exhibits of the Negro Activities Committee. His efforts will include the collection of unique and striking exhibits from colored institutions and individuals, so that this composite picture may be interestingly presented. In the units to be collected to tell the story of the Negro's development various phases of education, industry, music, commerce, manufactures, inventions, literary publications and the activities of religious, fraternal and other organizations will be collected. The casual visitor will be able in a practical way to take away impressions that will appeal to him as a humanly interesting story. In keeping with the patriotic festival that is beingobserved, the Sequicentennial will be a visualization of the splendid progress that has been made in America since the time in 1876, when the nations of the world joined in celebrating the hundredth anniversary of our country's independence. Aside from the general program, the chapter of struggle and accomplishment will also be emphasized in pageantry and song while there will be many colored Americans intermixed with the general festival chorus. For artistic reason, there will also be presented by a complete colored unit, an evening of song in the great auditorium on the exposition grounds and "Hiawatha" by the famous Negro composer, Coleridge-Taylor, will be presented in the stadium. Prominent Negro artists have been invited to participate in the musical and other programs. Athletic contests of a unique type will also be included where colored athletes can make their bow to the tremendous crowds that will be present during the exposition season. The headquarters of the Negre Activities at 1201 Spruce Street are alive with a clerical force that is working, receiving and placing details to make this emphasis of the THE RICHMOND PLANET.

FISK UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ESTABLISH PRECEDENT. COLUMBUS, O.. April 22.—The graduating class of 1922 and 1928 at Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., established a precedent last week in the group insurance of the two classes in the Supreme Life and Casualty Company of Columbus, Ohio. The policies were taken out on the individual lives of the students and Fisk was made irrevocable beneficiary in each case, marking a culmination of a nation-wide campaign for the increased endowment of the university. This unique insurance feature, probably the first of its kind successfully promoted by any company of the race, was initiated by E. L. Powell, honored alumnus of Fisk. and West Virginia State manager of Supreme Life. You can secure bargains at Weisberger's Emporium. The fire sale is about at an end, but you will find other bargains to greet you. The Southern Aid Society, Inc., keeps in front, both as to advertising and insurance. Its progressive officers have an eye to business. They deserve enthusiastic support.
