AFRICAN CHIEFTAIN REJECTS FRANCO- SPANISH TERMS. VOLUME XLIII, NO. 27 WAF AFRIC OUDJA, May 6.—The Riffian peace conference has finally and officially broken down. The Riffian delegates have departed for Adb-el-Krim's headquarters and the French and Spanish authorities have set their military machines on the alert for offensives with which they hope to force the peace settlement which negotiations failed to obtain. The conference ended twelve minutes after the Riffian delegation had met with the French and Spanish and reported the refusal of Abd-el-Krim to release all prisoners at once as demanded in the allied ultimatum. By the terms of this ultimatum, delivered May 1, the tacit armistice existing since April 16, expires at midnight. Both the French and Spanish expect to launch their military operations at the earliest possible moment, hoping to gain a crushing military advantage before the hot weather of mid-summer forces a suspension of fighting. The French are ready now on the line, but the recent heavy rains in the Fez region may compel a delay of several days. The Spanish have long been prepared for an ambitious land and naval operation to take Tarquist, Abd-el-Krim's principal headquarters, and join the now separate Alhucemas and Melilla sectors. The Final Conferences. Azerkane and Haddou, of the Riffian delegation, who had arrived at Nemours, Algeria, on a French destroyer last night reached Oubida at 9 o'clock this morning and Azerkane got in touch almost immediately with the Europeans. First, an informal conference was held with them by Generals Simon and Olivan, heads of the French and Spanish delegations. Azerkane laid the whole of Abd-el-Krim's case before them. The Riff leader, he said, had been quite willing to have the question of the exchange of prisoners discussed in full conference, as had been agreed on in preliminary discussions, but could not accede to the demand brought up since the conference began that the French and Spanish prisoners be released before other questions were taken up. As to the other terms laid down by the French and Spanish as the basis of a peace conference—namely, the retirement of Abd-el-Krim, recognition of the Sultan and disarmament of the tribes, the Riff leader said he could not go beyond the undertakings made on April 20, when quasi-assent in principle was given to the extensive compromises suggested. Generals Simon and Olivan immediately replied that this report did not offer a satisfactory reply to the allied ultimatum. The final plenary session was merely a repetition of this preliminary one, the only difference being that General Simon, as president of the conference, announced officially that there was no object in further discussion and that the conference was broken off. The Riflans filed out gravely and silently. Azerkane Talks to Correspondents As they were preparing for their departure a small group of newspaper correspondents who have come to know them well called and were received. Azerkane was almost in tears. "We came to make peace," he said, "but when we agreed to one thing they brought up others, always twisting and turning. There could be no peace with them. Now it is war again and I am going back to my artillery-men. They wanted only to force us WILL CONTINUE STRUGGLE---PARIS GLOOMY. to make peace like beaten rebel tribesmen." COMMANDER BYRD THE BIGGEST MAY FESTIVAL OF Haddou was bitter about the out come of the conference. come of the conference. "Civilization!" he exclaimed scornfully, civilized himself. The only luggage this diplomatic mission took with it was a hand parcel wrapped in a towel. At Nemours they embarked again this afternoon on a French destroyer and tomorrow they will be back in the Riff with arms in hands ready for a life or death struggle. General Simon Still Hopeful. On the French side all hope that peace cannot be obtained without a severe struggle is not, however, definitely abandoned. In an interview, General Simon expressed the belief that peace might not be far off, even though the present effort had failed. "The conference of Oudja is over," he said, "but I would not like to say all possibility of conversations with the Riffians is excluded. It is even probable that in the near future the population of the Riff will make new overtures to us. Since April 18 the French and Spaniards on the one side and the Riffians on the other, have tried to bring their points of view into touch. "The Riffians believed, perhaps, that our demands could be reduced and that we might be open to bargaining. They must recognize today that they deceived themselves. Our conditions represented only what we were obliged to demand to guarantee our security. If we reduced these demands we would be exposing ourselves to danger of new aggressions, such as we have already suffered. "Furthermore, the Riffians seemed to think they could separate France and Spain. There also they were mistaken. Our accord has remained complete throughout all these negotiations, and that will undoubtedly help to make easier parlayers which may be opened in the future. For Azerkane I have very high esteem. He has always shown loyalty and impeccable courtesy." --- Checks are being delivered to those who signed the last waivers and others are scheduled to follow shortly.

SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1926 COMMANDER BYRD REACHES NORTH POLE The Distinguished Brother of Governor Wins...World's Goal in His Grasp. A Signal Triumph for Virginian. By William Bird By William Bird. The New York Times Correspondent With the Byrd Expedition. Copyright, 1926, by The New York Times Company and The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. By Wireless to The New York Times. KINGS BAY, Spitzerbergen, May 9 —America's claim to the North Pole was cinched tonight when, after a flight of fifteen hours and fifty-one minutes, Commander Richard E. Byrd and Floyd Bennett, his pilot, returned to announce that they had flown to th. pole, circling it several times and verifying Admiral Peary's observations completely. They were favored by continued sunlight, and there was never the slightest fog, enabling Commander Byrd to use his sun compass and bubble sextant and obtain the most accurate observations possible. There were three magnetic compasses in the plane, but all of them deviated ec- centrically after reaching high latitudes. Bennett declared that when he was piloting the magnetic compasses were wholly useless and would swing almost a quarter turn, returning very slowly. Take Turns in Piloting. Without the sunlight, navigation would have been almost impossible. Bennett and Commander Byrd alternated in the piloting, Bennett re-filling the gasoline containers while the Commander piloted and navigated. Commander Byrd found that the Bumstead sun compass worked perfectly, even when held in the hand, so when he was in the pilot's seat he held the joystick in one hand while he got his direction from the sun compass held in the other. When they were within sixty miles of the Pole the oil system of the right-hand motor began leaking badly and it seemed necessary to choose between proceeding with two motors or attempting a landing to make repairs. Bennett For Landing, Byrd Refuses. In the neighborhood of the Pole numerous stretches of smooth ice were visible and a landing was favored by Bennett, but Commander Byrd, remembering his difficulties in starting at Kings Bay, vetoed this proposal. Both agreed, however, to continue the flight to the Pole even if they went on with only two motors. To their surprise, the right-hand motor continued to work effectively, despite the ruptured oil tank, and when the Fokker returned to Kings Bay all three motors were hitting perfectly. Chantier's Men Embrace Fliers. The Josephine Ford, after making three circles over Kings Bay, landed at the take off runaway and taxied to her original starting position. Commander Byrd and Bennett hurried a mile and a half to the shore where a motor boat rushed them to the Chantier. The crew aboard her went wild with joy, waving flags and their caps. Many of the crew com- pletely broke down with emotion, and with tears streaming from their eyes embraced the fliers. FIRST NEWS OF BYRD'S GREAT FEAT AS IT REACHED THE NEW YORK TIMES.

S. N., leader of the Byrd Polar Expedition, returned from his flight to the North Pole in the airplane Josephine Ford at 4:20 this afternoon, Greenwich time (2 P. M. New York time). The Commander reached the North Pole. He started at 12:05 o'clock this morning. Greenwich time (8:50 P. M. Saturday, New York time), which is full daylight at this time of the year in the Arctic, so that his flying time on the dash to the Pole and back was fifteen and a half hours. The Josephine Ford had as its pilot on the trip Floyd G. Bennett, the American pilot of the Byrd Expedition. The two were welcomed on their return by Captain Roald Amundsen, Lincoln Ellsworth and the entire crew of the airship Norge, now awaiting her chance to fly over the North Pole from Spitzerbergen to Alaska, and the entire summer population of Kings Bay, all of whom had been asleep when the airplane took off fifteen hours previously. Commander Byrd's nose and several fingers were frozen while he was taking observations in zero temperature (Fahrenheit) above the North Pole, but treatment here speedily restored circulation, and the Commander is all right now. --- The Virginia Baptist State Convention, Rev.

These clinics are tuberculosis, nutritional blood, infant care, prenatal and vaccinations Everything's being done to build up a healthy class of citizens, both white and colored. Poverty is not permitted to act as a hindrance, as free service is rendered and these clinics are being held in all parts of the city. Persons able to pay can, of course, be treated by their own family physicians. Particular stress is being laid on vaccination as a preventive of diphtheria. By putting a few drops of medicine in a child's arm, that child can be protected from diphtheria for life in 90 per cent of the cases. In preschool children it never makes them sick. It costs nothing and it protects them for life. Why should any sensible mother neglect such an opportunity? For further information call up City Health Bureau, Madison 2051, or call in person on the fourth floor of the City Hall Annex, Eleventh and Broad Streets. The child should be vaccinated now in order to be protected next fall, as the treatment takes three months to have full effect. PRICE, FIVE CENTS RICA. ANCO- WAS IT MURDER? Much excitement was caused near Fourth and Baker Streets last Sunday evening, when it was reported that Stephen Clark, of 908 North Fourth Street, had been killed with an axe. He resided with Mrs. Maria Johnson. Undertakers were on hand, but the officers finally notified W. I. Johnson Sotus and Mrs. Johnson permitted him to come up and take charge of the body. Everybody else with the exception of the officers were barred out. Clark had been sick for some time and was said to be both a Mason and an Odd Fellow. There was evidence on the right side of his head of a wound. It was over four inches in length and the dried blood filled the wound. The child which was in the building is said to have given evidence of a severe beating and the creaking opinion among the neighbors seems to be that the woman was demented. FULTON NOTES Rev. C. A. Cobbs preached a fine sermon last Sunday in honor of Mothers' Day. The choir rendered appropriate music. Captain Henry Miller, of Washington, D. C., visited us.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA "That Murphy Twin," of Blind Pig Fame, Becomes the Shepherd of His Flock THE boy who used to sell booze through a hole in the wall in the stormy West Virginia coal fields has become the shepherd of his flock. Once he was one of "them Murphy twins" in a land where the hair trigger was the law. Now he is J Pat Murphy postmaster general storekeeper and preacher to his people in the crag-bound Kentucky hills. Out of the environment of barron battle, Sunday blind pig and the flare of feud J Pat Murphy has become one of the leading citizens of Ep. 19. The Kentuckian painted a picture recently for the Congressional "wet and dry" committee and it told the story of how a bartender "got religion" and gave his life to the service of his mounta: folk Puzzle for the Law Twenty-five years ago according to Murphy's story, Mingo county, W. Va., proved a puzzle for the law. There was always plenty of illicit liquor to be had despite the Sunday closing regulation. The saloon of Adam Bailey at Panther, did its largest business, in fact, on Sunday. Here's where the Murphy twins enter the picture. No one could tell which of the Murphy twins was which. If the customers didn't know, how was a grand jury to find out which boy took the orders collected the money and delivered the well goods up the Saloon from the saloon? The grand jury investigated often, but nobody could, swear the liquor came from Bailey's saloon, and no one knew which of the twins had sold it. That was the kind of a start in life J Pat Murphy got, as a boy working in a saloon or peruvying B- J. Pat Murphy drinks through a blind pig, then a coal miner, still later a bartender. "The earliest I can remember," he says, "is when I was eight years old, selling liquor through a hole in the log wall of a cabin on Sunday when saloons were closed. "Hello, Uncle Joe" "The password for the customers was, "Hello, Uncle Joe." In those days you could buy a pint of whisky and a half dozen bottles of beer for $140. We served it through the wall without us seeing the customers or the customers seeing us. Theer the customer couldn't testify about it. "My twin brother and I were the blinds in the blind pig. I worked in some tough places later on as a bartender. I remember when on pay days we used to take all the cue sticks and balls from the pool tables because of fights. "In my store now I always watch the pop bottles and take them off the counter quickly after they are empty. It is a habit from the beer bottle days when an empty was likely to be used on somebody's head." Settled Own Fights "Back then you had to serve liquor with one hand and hold your gun with the other. We got into the habit of settling our own fights because the only deputy sheriff was often at the mine guarding the money. "In our county there was only one licensed saloon. It was owned by the president of the county court who wouldn't license any competitor so they had to run blind." A bartender and a miner all his life, J. Pat Murphy went back to school at the age of 27. He studied to fit himself to lead his mountain folk into better ways of living. He "got religion" and is carrying out his convictions by offering himself to his own hill folk for a life of service. Murphy's grandmother was a McCoy, one of the family made famous by its feud with the Hatfields. But J. Pat Murphy preaches the gospel of brotherly love. 2 She Looks It Too!

Praising white folks, who deserve to be praised, is highly beneficial to us as a race of people. When a man makes love quickly, he will ultimately produce hatred in the same way. We can do much ourselves to eliminate race prejudice. Our own conduct is the greatest and most potential factor in this. Some people are just naturally born mean and disagreeable and they make little or no effort to correct the fault. Good women are disposed to choose good-for-nothing men as mates and then they and their children "sup sorrow" as a result of it. Marcus Garvey may not like his surroundings exactly, but he rests secure and satisfied in the fact that he is safe, from both his friends and his enemies. Some women who want all of men's privileges are ready on the next breath to shirk men's responsibilities. When they take the one, they should grab the other. The women are getting rid of some of these men when they get a chance and the men are creating vacancies where some of these women reside. You are here this morning and you may be gone this afternoon—forever. Commander Richard Evelyn Byrd added tustre to the family name and brought signal honor to his own country when he succeeded in reaching the North Pole and its vicinity in an airplane. He took a chance—a desperate chance and won. His exploit has gained for him world-wide attention and historical fame, which will be transmitted to posterity. That he hails from Virginia will cause conscious and self-satisfying pride to all patriotic sons of the Old Dominion. regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. ADVOCATING A BATTLE MONU MENT IN FRANCE TO CERTAIN GALLANT NEGRO COMBAT TROOPS Speech of Hon. Hamilton Fish, Jr., of New York, a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, in the House of Representatives, Wednesday, April 28, 1926: Mr. FISH. Mr. Chairman, this bill (H. R. 9694) authorizes the expenditure of $30,000 to erect a monument to commemorate the gallant services of four colored regiments of the provisional Ninety-third Division of the American Expeditionary Forces, and I am glad to see that no Republican in this House voted against the consideration of this bill today. (Applause). Mr. O'CONNELL, of New York. I would also like the gentleman to say that there were some Democrats who voted with him on this proposition. MR. FISH. I will be glad to say that some of the Democrats voted in that way, but a great many more who should have voted for its consideration did not so vote. MR. GREEN, of Florida. And I am glad to say some of them did not vote for it, sir. MR. FISH. Mr. Chairman, these colored soldiers, I will say to my friends on the Democratic side of the House, were good enough to be accepted as volunteers in time of war; they were good enough to be drafted; they were good enough to be killed for their country; but they are not good enough to permit the consideration of a bill to commemorate their gallant services. (Applause). The four regiments included in the bill are the Three hundred and sixty- ninth, formerly the Fifteenth* New York National Guard—and I will say to my Democratic friends that they had white officers, and of these 60 white officers 15 of them were killed on the field of battle. The Three hundred and seventieth was a National Guard regiment from Chicago; the Three hundred and seventy-first a draft regiment from the South; the Three hundred and seventy-second composed of a separate battalion from Ohio, another from the District of Columbia, and separate companies from Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maryland. The casualties of these four regiments were 40 per cent of their effectiveness. I have letters in my pocket from officers who served in the regiment drafted from the South, a white officers' association, and they are for this bill, and I am proud of it. (Applause). MR. CONNALLY, of Texas, Will the gentleman explain why General Pershing, chairman of the Battle Commission, is against it, and Senator Reed on the commission is against it, and why the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hill) is opposed to it? MR. FISH. The Battle Monuments Commission made a rule that no unit under a division should be considered. Therefore these regiments could not be included under that regulation for a battle monument. But the bill was amended after Senator Reed had been before the committee to obviate some of his objections and in order that the appropriation should not be taken out of the battle monuments fund a special authorization of $30,000 was provided for in this bill. Both amendments were made in committee; they were not offered by me, but accepted unanimously by the committee, and I think that answers the statement of the gentleman who wanted to know why we reported the bill. This is the second time in two years, after careful consideration, that this bill has been reported. (Applause). The Battle Monuments Commission is a creature of Congress, and it is not only right but just that we instruct them to provide a separate monument for the provisional Ninety-third Division. The four regiments that make up this division served with the French Army. They were understrength, having about 2,500 men in a regiment. Three of the four regiments had their flags decorated with the French croix de guerre. Very few other American regiments had their flags decorated with the French war cross. There was no dispute by the opponents in the committee as to the heroism, gallantry, and courage of the negro fighting soldiers of the provisional Ninety-third Division. (Applause). The facts were admitted by witnesses before the committee; even the opposition admitted that these four regiments had conducted themselves gallantly on the battle fields of France, and one of these regiments claims that it served in the line longer than any other American regiment. MR. COOPER, of Wisconsin. I think the gentleman has omitted an important fact as stated to me by a member sitting by my side. He expressed surprise when I told him that the distinguished gentleman now addressing the House was an officer of one of those regiments. (Applause). MR. FISH. My friends, I would be derelict $t_0$ the memory of these colored soldiers in my own regiment and the white officers who were killed in that regiment if I did not do everything in my power to see that they got proper recognition. (Applause). There were 400,000 negro soldiers in our Army. There are 12,000,000 of colored people in the country, and everyone is interested in seeing that recognition is given to the soldiers of the colored race who made the supreme sacrifice. (Applause). There were 457 killed and 3,468 wounded in these four regiments out of a battle strength of approximately 10,000 soldiers. With the exception of the First and Second Divisions, there were not many American divisions which had a higher percentage of killed and wounded. All we ask here is to do away with this unjust discrimination against the heroism of negro soldiers and erect this monument in France, which will be for all time an inspiration to patriotism, loyalty, and heroism for all the colored people of America. (Applause). (Note.—Bill passed the House 227 to 116, only two Republics voting against it.) Georgia Daily Given Pulitzer Meda For Courageous Crusade for Fair Dealing and Tolerance. EDITOR. JULIAN HARRIS Is Son of Author of Famous "Uncle Remus" Tales. ATLANTA, GA., May 14.—For his "brave and energetic fight against the Ku Klux Klan, against the enactment of a law barring the teaching of evolution, against discontent and incompetent public officials, against lynching and for justice to the Negro," Julian Harris, son of the author of the famous "Uncle Remus" stories, and editor of the daily Enquirer-Sun, of Columbus, Ga., has been awarded the Pulitzer gold medal for the most disinterested and distinguished public service rendered by any American newspaper during 1925. The fight which the Enquirer-Sun has been making against lynchship and in favor of a fair deal for the Negro has for some time been noted with extreme gratification by the friends of interracial justice in Georgia and the South, and the national recognition which has come to the editor is meeting with enthusiastic approval. In acknowledging the award Mr. Harris has given to the press a vigorous and effective statement of his position, from which the following extracts are of peculiar interest: "The Enquirer-Sun has insisted and still insists that the Negro must be treated with equal and exact justice. I do not believe that there is any logic in telling outsiders that the Negro has the mind of an adolescent and must be treated like a child, and then lynching the 'child' as if his actions had been motivated by the trained brain of a Harvard professor.

VIRGINIA: In Hustings Court, Part II, City f Richmond, May 5, 1926. Georgia Males .....Plaintiff vs. Martin Males .....Defendant IN CHANCERY. The object of this suit is to obtain a divorce from the bond of matrimony by the plaintiff from the defendant on the grounds of decretion and abandonment for more than three years prior to the commencement of this suit. And an affidavit having been made and filed that the defendant, Martin Males, is not a resident of the State of Virginia, it is ordered that he human that it must eventually disappear from all decent, Christian communities. It is the long string of smaller injustices against the Negro which mount up. "For more than five years the Enquirer-Sun has fought the Klan, denouncing it as 100 per cent un-American and as a cowardly masked gang which attempted to usurp the rights of constituted authority and foment racial prejudice and religious intolerance. With the exception of a small afternoon daily and a couple of weekly papers, the Enquirer-Sun carried on a lone fight. Finding no other Georgia newspaper intended to print the New York World's expose of the Klan, the Enquirer-Sun did so. Twenty per cent of its circulation disappeared in the air and the mails were burdened with anonymous threats. The Columbus chapter of the Klan as a final gesture paraded about 300 strong, masked and robed and carrying placards which contained such Christian sentiments as 'America for Gentiles', 'Down with the Jews', 'Down with the Negro'. The fight against the Ku Kluxans was continued until the local Klan dwindled to the point of disappearing from public notice. The original chapter disbanded and efforts to get any strength have failed. Its first and last entry into local politics resulted in a 4 to 1 defeat." --- DEATHS REPORTED The following is a list of deaths (colored) filled with the Bureau of Health from May 4th to May 12th, with date of death: May 2—Adam Glenn, 1116 Concord St., 48 years.

Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cannonment.

It was decided to put a "Sports Bay," a beautiful window of colored glass, in the $25,000,000 Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine, in New York. As originally planned, the "Sports Window" for the Cathedral included a picture of live birds released from a trap and shot dead for the amusement of "sport." If, however, a modern Christian cathedral really needs a sports window, why not have a nice stained glass picture of Jack Dempsey knocking out Mr. Wills, the colored man. That, at least, is legal in New York State. A Thibetan lady named Rin-Chan Lha-Mo says, "Western women are not good-looking." Meaning Americans, English, French, etc. The lady says our women's noses and ears are too big; noses like kettle spouts, ears like pigs' ears, eyes a silly blue like children's marbles, eye sockets too deep, eyebrows too much like those of monkeys. This criticism of our lovely females will amaze you, especially if you have ever seen a Thibetan lady with nose flat, eyes on the outside of her face, etc. If Europe multiplies her combinations in rubber, steel, etc, shutting out poor little America, and making us pay high prices, somebody will have to write a national sob anthem for the United States. Secretary Hoover, first to shriek with alarm when British made us pay more for rubber, says he doesn't believe the United States will be included Prize Winner The $2,000 Fellowship Prize offered by the Carnegie Foundation for the advancement of teaching of the arts has been won by Miss Delphine Fitz of Overbrook, Pa. Many colleges and schools are offering very worth while prizes this year to stimulate student interest. Congratulations AUTOCASTER Uncle Joe Cannon is ninety. He spent a busy May 7th for all Danville, Illinois, his home town, and all the country went out of its way to wish the veteran statesman many happy returns. Uncle Joe is in the best of health. He makes his daily trip to his bank and is never without his. in the great European steel trust. They will buy iron each other and shut us out. That is sad, but we have a tariff and can do a little shutting out on our own account. The principal American steel stocks went up yesterday, in spite of the trust. Europe may have the trust, but we have the money. New Orleans is about to inaugurate an "air field" with ample accommodation for post office, army and civilian flyers. Every city should possess such a field and invite Uncle Sam to send his post office airships there. Postmaster New and the President will be found eager to co-operate in every way. The New Orleans flying field is especially important, because of New Orleans' strategical position. An adequate flying field there, with the possibility of establishing a military air base in an emergency, would be most important to the protection of the Panama Canal. Secretary Work talked plainly and usefully in Los Angeles, telling the big power men, who think they should control the Colorado water and power, that some jobs are too big for them. Mr. Work is not hostile to big business of the right kind. He knows it has built this country, our Government confining itself largely to politics and to running for office. But the Secretary of the Interior makes it plain that some of America's undertakings are too big for anyone but Uncle Sam. The great Boulder Dam project is one of them. The Panama Canal was another. Even the French, masters of engineering, could not manage that. Mr. Work suggested that those interested in Colorado waters, for irrigation or power, should make their bids, at a definite price. The idea is to have facts to put before Congress, proving that the scheme will pay. Such facts may be necessary to convince some unwilling or dull Congressman, but they ought not to be necessary. In the case of a great gold mine, Congress would ask only for proof that the gold was there, then the digging would begin. The Colorado water offers a sure mine of power, fertility and wealth, greater in value than all the gold mines ever found in California. Every Congressman of intelligence not interested in anybody's private exploitation scheme, will be for the Boulder dam. Dan Beard AUTOGASTER Daniel Carter Beard, National Scout Commissioner and honorary Vice President of Boy Scouts of America has been signally honored by being awarded two medals for distinguished service in the leadership of youth. The medals are the "Bronze Buffalos" and the "Roosevelt Medal." AUTOCASTER Britain lies paralized in the greatest strike in industrial history. A conservative estimate places the number of striking workers at 5,000,000. This is a picture of J. H. Thomas, labor leader who will figure prominently in any negotiations for peace. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA About Your Health by John Joseph Gaines, M.D. Medical Terminology. Perhaps many of our readers are attracted by the various health articles appearing in the newspapers; these, when written by capable talent are valuable to the public as educational features. Medical terms are sometimes difficult for the public to interpret for personal use. In this sketch, it is my purpose to make some of these words easier understood. We find “its” at the end of many names of diseases; this little terminal means “inflammation.” For instance, appendicitis literally means inflammation of the appendix; bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchial tubes; laryngitis is croup—inflammation of the larynx. Peritonitis is inflammation of the peritoneum—the membrane lining the abdomen; pericarditis is inflammation of the sac which encloses the heart; “peri” means around; “cardi” the heart; “itis” is inflammation. And on through the “itis” words: “Algia” signifies pain. Gastralgia is pain in the stomach; neuralgia is pain in a nerve; cardalgia is pain in the heart; enteralgia means pain in the intestines; odontalgia means toothache. None of the “algias” are diagnostic. Gastritis, neuritis, etc, are more accurately descriptive. "Phobia" literally means dread, Photophobia is simply dread of light, as in inflamed eye structures. Hydrophobia is dread of water. It has been said that the dog with rabies falls in a spasm, the moment he sees or comes in contact with water. Our wise old ancestors therefore declared that the disease, is hydrophobia. The term has no accuracy as indicating the true condition. "Rhoea" means a flow. Hence "diarrhoea" means "a flow through" when applied to disease. WEEK "DRUGS" and "DRUGLESS" AUTOCASTER The last word in smart simplicity, this charming afternoon frock is fashioned of black satin. It's beauty is greatly enhanced by a few unique touches. The V shaped pockets are of black and white satin ribbon made into a checkerboard design, and the straight, tight-fitting sleeves, almost detached from the shoulder, are also decorated with the same design. It is indeed a novel creation! The One who Forgot By RUBY M. AYRES © 1923 NEA Service British Strike Momentous to These Men E of 5,000,000 workmen in Great Britain is a crisis, but to these men it represents that it is Lloyd George, former premier, who is standing by, ready to step in if the present center is J. H. Thomas. Labor leader in Parliament, possible choice for the next president. To the right is Stanley Baldwin, present president, worthy of the trouble. BEGIN HERE TODAY Peter LYSTER has lost his memory from shell-shock on the Western Front. Upon his return to London, Peter has been taken for three motherless stepbrothers, but is still in touch with her friend and has just returned to France, and who insists that Nan should forget Peter and encourage the love of Peter. Peter is resting at the home of Arnott's widowed sister, not far from the Museum of Art, and is Arnott's sister and greatly disgusted with the advances of the money lender, who claims to have been a friend of Peter's before he went to the front. Since his return Peter has taken up focuing his klasses upon Nan. Nan, Nan, Nan might say to the brain-sick man asks him to leave and runs to leave for London. Nan asks her father about Sefton and tells him that he has asked her to marry him and that she refused. Her father is infuriated over her refusal. Two days later Arnott offers his lover an an and is refused. He has just left the house and Peter and her brothers coming toward the house. He has also seen her, making escape impossible. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "I HOPE the boys haven't been worrying you." Nan said as Peter and the boys came near. "Not in the least—we've had a fine afternoon in the woods." He spoke rather coldly, as if they were strangers, Nan thought with a childish sinking heart. Peter stood there—not looking at her, with the boys clamoring round her. "Nan—ask him to tea—" "Yes, ask him to tea—" "To tea. . ." Claudie chorused shrilly. "Not tonight," Peter said hastily. "It's late—Miss Marraby doesn't want me tonight." "I shall be pleased if you will," Nan said hurriedly; she hoped she did not sound as eager as she felt—her heart leaped at the thought of him coming; to have tea with him in the schoolroom—to have him to herself for just a little while. He hesitated; he looked at his watch. "I ought to get back—I promised Mrs. Mears . . . Nan froze instantly. "Oh, then, of course, we won't keep you. Come boys, say goodbye to Mr. Lyster—he wants to be going." Miserable jealousy raged in her heart; she caught Claudie almost roughly by the hand. "Say good night to Mr. Lyster at once, and come in," she said sharply. She knew that Peter was looking at her. "I think I will stay after all, if I may be allowed to change my mind," he said suddenly. Nan hardly knew if she were relieved or sorry—she could not meet his eyes. "You ought to go back if you promised," she said; her voice was cold and unfriendly. "I never do things I ought to do." Peter answered, with a faint smile. The boys were wild with excitement; they rushed on ahead into the house. "We only have a meat on the table." Nan said; she was so nervous she hardly knew what she was saying. "I know," he answered coolly. "You told me before--trick, bread and jam--but you promised me the top crust, you know." She led the way into the school room; she knelt down and poked the fire into a blaze. "Father is away," she said. "He been in London for the past two days--I don't know when he will be back. Will you sit here?" she dug for wood, then sat down in the other shabby armchair by the fire pit, stretched his long legs with a sigh of contentment. "This is the first time I've felt really at home since I came back," he said. She looked at him with startled eyes. "The first time. . . What do you mean? Surely Mears. Mears? . . ." "Oh. she is kindness itself; but the house is rather formal—there are half a dozen servants and . . . well . . ." He snrugged his shoulders expressively. "I thought she seemed very nice," said Nan; it was the last thing she had thought, but she was so happy to hear Peter say that he was more at heart than he ever had. Gadsen that she felt magnanimous. She began to pour out the tea. "You don't take sugar. I know R J SCOOT "Are you going to marry that brute?" "Are you going to marry that brute?" you see. I haven't forgotten—" She stopped with a stiff exclamation. Just for the moment it had seemed as if the intervening weeks had been swept away, and that she and Peter were once more on the old happy terms. But apparently he had noticed nothing—and she drew a breath of relief. "I shall go into your regiment, Mr. Lyster," Jim said, "because I like the badge on your cap." "So shall I," said Buster. "And me," echoed Claudie in his piping treble. Peter laughed. "Time enough in another twenty years," he said. "If the war is not over then," he added, smiling at Nar "Sometimes it seems as if it never will be over," she said. "Sometimes it seems impossible that we shall ever be at peace again—" She broke off—her blue eyes dilated. She had heard the slam of the garden gate, and through the half light outside had seen Harley Setton's figure pass the window. She was on her feet in an istant and cut of the room. Peter heard her urgent voice in the hall: "I am not at home. Mary—I am not at home to anyone. Say that you do not know when I shall be in." She came back, flushed and breathless. Peter met her eyes. Peter met her eyes. "Was that Sefton?" he asked. "Yes." Nan's eyes fell. Her cockle burned. Fear sat looking absently before him, then all at once he spoke— "Do you send Sefton away be- cause I was here?" shook as she began to pack the plates together. Lyster rose and went to stand by the tree he kicked at the glowing logs colony. "Are you going to marry that—brute?" he asked curtly. Nan raised her eyes; for a moment she could not speak. He went on without waiting for her answer. "Surely it's not such a very extraordinary thing to ask, is it, after—the other afternoon?" It's no business of mine, I admit, but—" He broke off. "Oh, no, it's no business of yours," she said recklessly. He went on angrily: "Sefton is no good. If he ever was a friend of mine—which I doubt—all I can say is that I've been a bigger fool than I could ever have believed. Lately I heard things about him—pleasant things. If—if you are thinking of marrying him, it's only fair you should be told what he is. I—I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to walk blindfolded into such a marriage." Nan's pal cheeks were crimson. "Thank you," she said shrilly. "Thank you very much for your kind interest, but I'm quite able to take care of myself. I've learned enough—and suffered enough in the past few months to teach me that no man is what one believes him to be. I don't suppose Sefton is any worse than the rest." Peter moved a step towards her. "What do you mean?" he asked. There was a sort of uncertainty in his voice. "It's nonsense talking like this. There are plenty of decent men in the world—good fellows who would make you happy—Arnott, for instance." Nan's breath came hard. "Has he asked you to appeal for him?" she demanded hoarsely. "If that's why you've come here you might as well have saved yourself the trouble. It's nothing to do with you—I shall marry Mr Sefton, if I like—when I want your advice I ask for it." Lyster turned rather pale. "Arnott has never spoken of you to me; he has too much pride. I suppose I had no right to speak to you on the matter at all—I beg your pardon." There was something in the noise of his voice that took Nan back to the memory of the one small quarrel she and this man had ever had to mar the happiness of their engagement. Before she was aware of it his name escaped her lips in a little strangled cry— She had put such a careful guard on her lips during the last weeks. Not once had she forgotten and addressed him by his Christian name, but now, for the moment at least, nothing seemed to matter but that she was parting with him in anger. It broke her heart to see the little droop of his shoulders—the hurt look in his eyes. Peter turned in a flash and went back to where she stood. "Miss Marryab." She flung up her head; her eyes were hard and bright. "Oh, go—go!" she said fiercely. "Let me alone. Why can't you go?" If I've hurt you, Peter said. He found it difficult to choose words in which to speak to her. "I had no right to say what I did. Please forgive me and forget it." "There's nothing to forgive," she said hoarsely. "I shouldn't care, only—lately somehow I'm such an idiot." "This is the second time I've made a fool of myself in front of you." A queer expression crossed his face. She heard him catch his breath. He took a step towards her. "Do you know," he said slowly, "that sometimes—when I am with you—I get a strange sort of conviction that I've known you before—sometimes—your smile, or the way you move your shoulders like you did last week. He stopped a sort of painful indecision struggled in his eyes. "Miss Marraby—are you one of those people whom I have forgotten?" he asked. "Were you ever in that part of my life which I cannot remember?"
