NEW YORK, June 22.—Tex Rickard deposited his boxing orphan, the proposed Dempsey-Tunney heavy-weight bout on the doorstep of the State Athletic Commission today, but it was promptly turned out. By a vote of two to one the fistic fathers formally rejected Rickard's application to stage a title bout between Dempsey and Tunney at the Yankee Stadium on September 16 after the promoter had offered to post on the spot a $50,000 forfeit guaranteeing that the winner would box Harry Wills in 1927. Chairman James A. Farley was joined by Commissioner George A. Brower in vetting Rickard's proposal and making it clear that Dempsey must fight Wills, the negro challenger, before meeting any other opponent in this State. Commissioner William Muldoon cast his ballot in Rickard's favor. Produces Only Statement Thus the expected showdown in the heavyweight situation produced another stalemate for Rickard, equally as unyielding as the commission, declared flatly that he would not stage a Wills-Dempsey contest this year; that he was bound by ironclad agreements to go through with a (Continued on page 5) IDEAL SOCIETY NEWS.

NEW YORK, June 19.—Tiger Flowers, world's middleweight champion, outpointed Young Bob Fitzsimmons in a ten round no-decision bout at Boyle's Thirty Aces in Jersey City last night. A crowd of about 10,000 witnessed the battle, which did not involve the title, as Fitzsimmons, a heavyweight, was many pounds over the class limit. Flowers started the battle in typical manner, swarming ally over Fitzsimmons from the time the opening gong sent the pair on their journey. The middleweight champion snapped right jabs to his rival's face, sending young Bob's head back and with a combination left hook and right swing which he landed twice to the jaw. Flowers sent Fitzsimmons staggering back on his heels. Fitz just couldn't do anything with the champion. In the second session, however, Fitz had greater success. He met the rushes of Flowers with hard right and jolts to the heart and wind and hurt the champion not a little. But in the third Flowers was back on the attack again and Minded Fitzsimmons with a never-ending flurry of rights and lefts. A right swing opened a cut over Fitzsimmons's left eye and the wound was, made the target for further assault. Through the fourth fifth and sixth Flowers pressed the attack and had an edge on points. Fitzsimmons attempted a stand in the seventh round and for a time countered heavily with rights to the body as Flowers came in, but young Bob didn't have the endurance to sustain his attack and Flowers resumed his steady punching. In the eighth, Fitz, spurred by the presence of Tom Sharkey in a front row seat, discarded some of his caution and fought back eagerly. He couldn't shake off his awkwardness, however, and his efforts were fruit- WOOD—Mr. Arthur Wood departed this life June 8, 1:30 P. M. in Marion, Ohio.

The Union Glee Club, Roy Singleton, director, rendered a selection Recitation by Mrs. Martha Pryor. Prof. Wm. B. Smith, and Mr. W. N. Faxton rendered a corpet and clarionet duet to the delight of the audience. Bro. Carey Wheaton, in ringing tones of praise, introduced the able speaker, Attorney Armond W. Scott of Washington, D. C., who discussed leadership, laying as the basis, great principles, rather than a desire for a continuation in office. Frequently Applauded. During the course of his fervid oratory, he was frequently applauded. During one of these outbursts, he thought he detected a hiss and he immediately gazed in the direction from which it came and declared the person guilty of the offense to be a cur. He called upon him frequently to stand up and leave the hall. There was no response to this invitation. At the conclusion of the exercises, some one explained that the person making the noise had been applauding the speaker and had approved of his line of reasoning. Mr. Scott came forward and expressed regret for what he had said and apologized. Spoke For Wilson. In the meantime, Prof. Wm. B. Smith sang with charming melody asolo The Boys' Drum Corp was organized and founded by W. N. Faxton and C. A. Freemen. Grand Treasurer James T. Carter spoke, as did also Col. George F. Knickerbocker, of Washington, D. C. John P. White concluded with an address to the boys. During his remarks, he showed his resentment at some things which had been said and which he regarded as reflecting upon the head of the organization. Announcing that he thought matters should be threshed out at the Grand Lodge and not in the newspapers, he declared that he stood for J. Finley Wilson and he did not care who knew it. $42.00 was contributed. THE HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON MEMORIAL WASHINGTON, D.

IN STAUNTON EDITOR MITCHELL STAUNTON, VA, June 18—The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias ended its session here last night at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. An entertainment had been scheduled to take place there by local taent, as it was presumed that the organization would have completed its labors in time for the night's entertainment. It was at a late hour, being after 9 o'clock when the last word was said. Rumors were flying thick and fast concerning the Order. The delegates were outspoken in declaring that the Order was without money and there were but two courses open, one was a receivership in the hands of a person named by the Court and the other was the taking over the affairs of the Grand Lodge by the Supreme Lodge. FEW LODGES BENEFITED Members were reported to have said that out of the large membership formerly in action that on y8 310 lodges out of about 150 were fully berefted. Unpaid death claims are unpaid and the visiting official spoke plainly in the meeting. Some said that the machinery of the Grand Lodge had broken down to such an extent that although it had been intended to name a candidate against those now in office, that when the conditions were portrayed the men selected would not stand. The popular Dr. A. A. Tennant was said to have been nominated, but he quickly declined the honor of treasurer as there was a deficiency. PARADE A FAILURE The parade broke down, too, there being on y two companies of Knights and one of Cadets, while only three members of the female group were in evidence. At the meeting held at the Ebenezer Baptist Church Tuesday night, Editor John Mitchell, Jr told the story about the Mechanics Savings Bank and scored those responsible for its troubles. He paid a glowing tribute to the white Virginians, who had come to the rescue of the colored people. He told of the effort to again secure control of the institution and announced that the bank building was again under friendly control. ATTORNEY FULTON'S LETTER He read a letter from Attorney M. J. Fulton, who was counsel with Assistant Attorney General Leon M. Bazile, in an effort to get as much money as possible for the depositors. It was through Mr. Fulton's efforts that a dividend of 40 per cent. had been declared and paid out the amount aggregating $200,000.00, of which amount $28,000.00 was paid over to the Grand Lodge and the Grand Court, the former receiving about $20,000.00. Only about $4,000.00 reached the treasury of the Grand Lodge. The other went to pay the Supreme Lodge loan with interest and a commission to attorneys although the Grand Lodge was paying $1,000.00 per year to an attorney. SUPREME CHANCELLOR GREEN OUTSPOKEN. It was reported that Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green was outspoken in his opinion of conditions and is said to have announced that present conditions could not continue. He finally agreed to submit a schedule to improve conditions, it is said, and when SPEAKS IN STAUNTON JOSEPH AND HIS BREHREN. Staunton, Va., June 15, 1926.

Stern representative measures by a large military force are necessary to save the country from anarchy and ruin in the opinion of French military experts, including officers of the General Staff, who are conversant with the situation here. Military men feel that sufficient forces to quell the rising should be placed at their disposal, or, if not, France should withdraw. At least 56,000 soldiers and a six months' campaign are needed to restore order and peace in the French mandate, they told a staff correspondent for The Associated Press. Civilian authorities still profess to believe that Syria can be pacified by diplomacy and continue to express with satisfaction that "calm reigns in Syria." They say this despite daily attacks by the outposts surrounding Damascus and the shelling, bombing and rifle firing which make the ancient city more like a place in the zone of operations during the World War than one administered under a Class A mandate. During the week of June 14 and 21 no less than 2,000 shells and bombs were fired by French batteries upon the villages and gardens surrounding Damascus. Machine gun and rifle fire has been practically incessant. The communiques reveal sharp fighting in various villages and on the Lebanon-Syrian frontier. Communiques Show Clashes.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA How 'Mad Ben' Doty, American, Fought And Bled With Foreign Legion, Until— A YOUNG American of 25 boarded a freighter at New Orleans, late on a summer afternoon last year. He was turning his back upon friends, home and a business career, to go fight the battles of a foreign nation, "for the love of fighting." The same young man, in jail under a military guard at Damascus, Syria, recently has kept the cables hot between France and America Captured by French troops, he was charged with desertion from the Foreign Legion and "melting a rebellion." The charge was changed to "absent without leave" under pressure of requests from America. The young man was Bennet J. Doty, "Mad Bent," the daredevil Ben Doty who was called the most reckless of the soldiers of Battery E, 115th artillery, in the trenches of France during the World War, and whom the girls at Memphis, Tennessee knew as "one of the best dancers" and "the life of the party." "His sheer love for adventure" was the way friends in his old home, Memphis, Tenn., and Washington explained Dotty's escape, in which he climbed a steep cliff on band into the hills and stood off to French troops sent to capture him. His Love for Legion They can explain his rebellion from the legion in another way. For in recent letters he told of his love for the unit of fighting men that France sends into the very thick of her battles, the troops that bear the brunt of the worst attacks. "It is a glorious unit," Ben wrote, "and a most interesting body of men Russian, Poles, Frenchmen Belgians Dutchmen Englishmen Americans Chinese Spaniards and so on." We know not what the war is. "Mad Ben" Doty about, we don't care. We enlist to fight, so why should we grumble over what it is all about? We take no prisoners and they the Riffst don't either. "But these Riffs! They are crazy. They believe in transgression of the soal. They never die, but come back after 15 years' rest in a Chinese heaven filled with beautiful chorus girls, or something of the kind. At Moussifrey "At Moussifirey the Riffians were plied three lines deep in front of our barbed wire. Two of our gunners moved down the first 500 of 3000 men—and they kept coming like demons. I thought they would anvilibate all of us. "Nobody asks questions out here One never hears any reference to the great war, as it is forbidden to speak or write of it. But the legion was an army French front as shock troops and French toll of dead is so terrible that France is ashamed of the sacrifice she demanded from these brave men who give all and ask nothing. "Where every other outfit has one medal, the legion has 10. For importance, last month the whole 6th battalion of the 1st regiment was decimated. They were surrounded by the Riffa, and held them off for two days until relief arrived. They had repulsed all attacks of the enemy—but half the battalion was dead. It is the best battalion of the legion, and I am told that my company is destined for it. Here's hoping." Desperate Fighters The legion is known as the most desperate fighting organization in the world. Eleven times during its years of existence (since 1831) has the legion been ordered to retreat and 11 times, with a magnificent disregard for orders, it has refused it. Don't retreat. It stays and dies.

France is talking peace, while actually engaged in war. This is no era for saving. It is one for spending and dodging creditors and beating the tax collectors. Doing right is much easier than doing wrong and it brings to the one practicing it genuine satisfaction. The taxing machinery of the county, city, State and Federal Governments is now being worked overtime. If we realize that God has a temple within each one of us, this question of religion will be made plain People who own automobiles should be like men having wives,—they should pay no attention to the expense. They want to send Marcus Garvey back to the West Indies. He should be sent to Africa or be permitted to remain here. But few people practice the Golden Rule. They believe in getting all that you can at the expense of the other individual. Most oppressed peoples practice the very acts of oppression, which they condemn. All they need is to get into power themselves. THE PRESIDENCY OF HOWARD It looks like the "irony of fate", the "viewing of the Promised Land and never reaching the place", when a colored educator was elevated to the presidency of Howard University after and not before William A. Sinclair entered into his "long sleep". He brought about this change by his untiring efforts. We had talked with him about his plans and his prospects. He had faith in the final successful outcome of his crusade and no true friend of the race could have begrudged him the satisfaction of seeing the consummation of his hope to see a member of the race at the head of this great institution Dr. Kelly Miller, the great economist and philosopher, contributes a most excellent communication to the press under the caption, "A Significant Step in the Higher Education of the Negro". It is conservative, historical and instructive. There is a grave and serious doubt in some sections as to whether Bishop J. A. Gregg can be induced to accept this high honor and some others doubt that his associates will release him from the duties of his high office. It seems to us that they should readily do so. It will benefit the institution and the great Church, which he so ably represents. Should he serve but one term, it will result in untold benefit to both the race and the Church. Should conditions, though, arise as to make such an acceptance impossible, the Board of Trustees would please at least three-fourths of the colored people of the United States by elevating Dean Kelly Miller to this high position. It would be a fitting close to a great career. K. OF P. IN STAUNTON (Continued from Page 1) the officers installed by him did not appear upon the adjournment of the Grand Lodge, it is said that he had called them into a private conference to discuss conditions. Mr. Fulton's letter disclosed the fact that W. H. C. Brown, J. R. Pollard and Levi C. Brown had made an effort to purchase the assets of the depositors for $25,000.00 cash in opposition to the Depositors' Protective Committee, which committee was endeavoring to salvage these assets for the benefit of the depositors. THOSE DEPOSITORS' PROFITS. In reply to this it was stated to your correspondent that W. H. C. Brown announced that W. B. F. Crowell was also in the deal, a company being organized under the name of the Investment and Finance Corporation with W. H. C. Brown president; J. R. Pollard, secretary-treasurer and with Levi C. Brown constituting a Board of Directors. The profits from these assets would go to these four persons, while the profits from them if purchased by the depositors' corporation, known as the Mechanics Office Building Corporation, would go to the more than fifteen hundred depositors of the bank. who held the stock. RECEIVERSHIP THREATENED It is not known definitely just what steps will be taken. There is little doubt that should a fight ensue, steps will be taken at once to ask for a receivership and this will result in ousting from office those now in charge of the Grand Lodge of Virginia. W. H. C. Brown is said to be absolutely in charge of the Grand Lodge. John Mitchell, Jr. charged that he could not practice law in Virginia, although a Grand Attorney. He claimed to have paid his license fee in April, but in no case yet-tried has he appeared as an attorney of record and the reason therefor is said by a brother attorney to be that he must first stand an examination before the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia and be made eligibla to exercise this prive-ge.

June 17.—"This morning in the region of Rankus, a detachment attacked the village from the west while a second detachment charged the rebels occupying the hills to the east. The enemy positions were captured after a brilliant combat. The enemy left forty dead upon the field of battle." June 18.—"It was 107 dead that the enemy left behind after the storming of Rankus, instead of forty, as given out yesterday." A second communique of June 18.—"The train from Aleppo to Beirut was halted north of Baalbeck by rebel bands who cut the railroad tracks, fired upon the armored train and burned the station and village of Laboue. Repression is being carried out." Druses Adopt New Methods. Such is the situation in Syria. The French hold the cities along the main lines of the Aleppo-Jerusalem Railroad securely. Aleppo Homs, Hama, Damascus, Seraand, even Souiea and Salkhad, recently captured from the Druses, are firmly in their possession without immediate prospect of the Dissidents dislodging them. But the French are virtually prisoners in the cities with the disaffected tribesmen running wild throughout the country. In order to go from one city to another, slow moving armored trains or tank convoyed automobiles are necessary. Even the train from Beirut to Damascus, running the greater part of the journey through relatively pacified Labanon, carries a special armored coach with two machine guns behind the locomotive. Stations and tracks are guarded by soldiers. To go from Rayak to Damascus reminds one of a trip from Nancy to Verdun during the operations of 1916, so thickly are the soldiers—mostly Circassian and Armenian mercenaries—around the stations. The Druses have learned many military lessons, and are now conducting warfare along different lines from their early tactics. As a result they have scattered in groups of 100 or 200 which harass the French troops from the flanks without risking a frontal attack. DAMASCUS, June 22.—There is no cessation in the daily bombardment of dissident Druses tribesmen's positions in the outlying gardens by the French, and daily there is the same exchange of rifle and machine gun fire that has been going on for the last eight months. Neutral witnesses of this guerilla warfare on the one side and artillery and plane bombing on the other since October, 1925, say the property destroyed amounts to about $6,000,000. Neutral business men and diplomats say that Damascus will be entirely wrecked inside of a year should the present situation continue. One third of the city is now in ruins, and the other two-thirds practically lifeless. Stores and shops are closed and business is at a standstill. The French military rank and file who have been dodging bullets for the past six months and daily risking their lives resent the fact that no adequate picture of the situation in Damascus has been given the outside world by the authorities here. They feel that no greater insult can be aimed at their courage and loyalty than by denying their risks wherever they have been living. The other evening in the officers' THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA VARE FORCES PINCHOT FORCES PEPPER FORCES SEMISTRIAL NOMINATION mess a howl of derision rose from a table at which an officer was reading a newspaper aloud. Upon investigation it was found that the paper, published in Beirut, contained a communique issued by the civil authorities. The communique began, "Calm reigns in Beirut." EDITOR MITCHELL SPEAKS IN STAUNTON (Continued From Page 1) others to the Egyptians and drew a vivid illustration of his treatment at the hands of certain K. of P. brethren. He announced that he was again in charge of the Mechanics Bank building. He read the following letter from counsel: To the Depositors Creditors Committee of the Mechanics Savings Bank, Richmond, Va.; In compliance with the request of your chairman to report previously my action in this matter, I beg to advise that when your committee employed me to represent certain of the depositors and creditors in this matter that there were two suits pending in the Chancery Court of the City of Richmond. The receivers had filed with them an offer of 860,000.00 for the sale of the Mechanics Savings Bank building and the three residences adjoining it, which the receivers were asking the court to accept. Your committee thought that this was too low a price for this real estate and employed me to object to the acceptance of this offer. In conjunction with Hon. Leon M. Bazle, attorney, and assistant Attorney General of Virginia, who represented certain of the creditors. We filed a petition on behalf of the creditors represented by your committee and by Mr. Bazle objecting to the sale. In that petition we also asked for a decree of reference to a commissioner in Chancery to ascertain who the creditors were, the amounts due each of them and all the liabilities and assets of the bank and the order of the priority of their payment, if any. Objection to Sale. The objection to the sale and the decree of reference was argued by Mr. Bazile and myself and the court sustained our objection to the sale of the real estate at $60,000.00 and ordered a decree of reference in which it brought all of the creditors before the court and commissioner and ascertained the amount due each of them and had the commissioner report showing the amount due each of them and the value of the assets. When that report was later filed and confirmed the court then ordered the buildings on our motion to be resold with an understanding that your committee would start the bidding at $60,000.00 in order to prevent the property from bringing a less amount to the receivers had offered. The committee did this in its efforts to make the property bring the highest price it would and the real estate was advertised for sale accordingly. Grand Lodge Representatives. Before the sale was had, however, Messrs. W. H. C. Brown and J. R. Pollard, attorneys, claiming to represent the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia, agreed with me as attorney for your committee that when this public sale was had that we representing your committee and Brown and Pollard representing the Grand Lodge would bid on this property. The final understanding being that I would appear at the sale representing the creditors committee and Pollard would appear at the sale representing the Lodge, and that we would run the property up and if we bid the property in that the Lodge would become joint owners in the property along with the creditors represented by you in proportion to the mount of the debts due to them by the bank. The sale was had and the property was bid in by the creditors committee at $75,300,00. Exceeded Authority. After this sale Brown claimed that Pollard had exceeded his authority in bidding $75,300 and notified the receivers that as attorneys for the Grand Lodge they were not going to be bound as parties to the purchase and as your counsel I told the receiver that I had no objection to their withdrawing if they saw fit so to do. They did withdraw and the sale was confirmed to the Creditors Committee at $75,300.00. You will thus see that your committee made this property bring $15,300 more for the creditors than it would have brought had they not objected to the above offer of $60,000.00 made to the receivers. That Special Corporation. Your committee represented a great number of depositors with varying amounts and it was not practical to have the real estate conveyed to each one of these separate creditors. Your committee called a meeting of the creditors represented by it and Mr. Bazile and these creditors organized the Mechanics Office Building Corporation and the title to the real estate was conveyed to the Mechanics Office Building Corporation in which the creditors represented by your committee and by Mr. Bazile became the stockholders. After the real estate was sold it was left in the hands of the receivers, certain notes, bills receivable, accounts, stocks, bonds, judgments, etc., which the receivers in administrating the estate in their hands decided it was best to sell at public auction to the highest bidder. Several Bidders There were several bidders among the number, one of which was the Mechanics Office Building Corporation and the other of which was the Investment and Finance Corporation, the officers of which were W. H. C. Brown, president; J. R. Pollard, secretary and treasurer, and Levy C. Brown. These same parties constituted the Board of Directors. This last named corporation, Investment & Finance Corporation, appeared at this sale and bid on these assets along with other bidders, but the officers of the Mechanics Office Building Corporation, which represented a large portion of the creditors, ran the property up from $25,500.00, as I recall, to $31,300.00 and made the last and highest bid therefor and thus prevented the assets from being sacrificed and sold at less than they would have brought but for this action. Worked Untiringly. It affords me pleasure as your counsel to say your committee has worked untriginally in trying to make the assets of the Mechanics Office Building corporation yield the greatest amount to the creditors and the depositors and that but for the action of this committee these assets would not have yielded to the creditors and depositors the amount that they will. It was through the action of your committee taken by its attorneys, cooperating and assisting and working with the receivers and others that enabled the court to declare and pay a dividend of 40 per cent and which will enable the receivers to pay a still additional dividend and in which all the creditors, including the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Grand Court, Order of Calanthe and subordinate lodges and courts and all the other creditors have been greatly benefited and have shared and participated. Amount of Dividend Answering your inquiry as to the amount of this dividend received by the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias and Grand Court Order of Calanthe, I beg to say that my recollection is that it was about or approximately $28,000.00. The exact figures can be obtained from the receivers. In concluding this letter I wish to say as attorney that the Depositors Protective Committee has, from the time the bank was placed in the hands of the receivers, worked unceasingly and untiringly to make the assets of this bank pay the largest amount possible to the depositors and creditors and they are entitled to the co-operation and appreciation of every depositor in this bank, in the splendid work they have done. Yours very truly. M. J. FULTON. The contents of this letter created something of a sensation and was the subject of much comment among the people here. 6 COMPLEMENT TO L. DICKERSON BY THE LEAGUE OF AMERICAN INVENTORS. Dear Sir: Your application for membership in the League of American Inventors has been received for which accept our thanks. The application has been approved and your name enrolled. I, L. R. Dickerson, of Nesting, Va. was born in the county of Middlesex in the year of 1896 and at the age of 17 I began to think first of my race. The 14 Negroes in number first landed in America at Jamestown, Virginia in 1619. And then I thought on our progress, being won derfully led by the hand of God until some of my people have reached the stage of fame and honor. We have statesmen, teachers, artists, doctors, lawyers, but inventors were few so I said with God's help I would try to produce an idea of an invention of some kind. So I began, but in my first attempt I did not succeed, but being an oyster planner along the banks of the Rappahannock River, I had a chance to experience the suffering life of the human race. I began to think what service I could render to those home sufferers. Having succeeded in the year of 1924 with the seal of the Patent Office to make use and vend the said invention throughout the United States and the territories thereof therefore I am asking every American citizen who is interested in the welfare of the human race to help me use my brains for the good of those who live and are to live there. I offer a reward of $5.00 to $500.00 for improvement such as will appeal to the welfare of my business. L. R. DICKERSON. L. R. TAYLOR, Saluda, Va. Compliments to Mr. L. Dickerson by Mr. Washington Thornton. In 1896 L. Dickerson was born, back in a country where civilization was hardly known. Now he has come to the front with his little oyster punch, which has caused young and old to stand on their toes and push oysters into the crude little hole. This man with his hands has (By Mrs. Bessie L. J. Green.) There is many a man that finds little in life. That's worth their time and ambition. But it's not the case with our neighbor and friend, Who has given to the world this invention. He has taken the iron of the faraway lands, Do you want to know the name and will? Of our great inventor so dear? It's Leary, near Nesting, by the side of a hill, Of a family of Dickerson, you may see. Go forth! And conquer the land and sea With a puncher that will open the pearls; You have set a standard for us all to live by, A standard for our boys and girls. His will, as you know, is a standard in life.

BARS JACK DEMPSEY (Continued from Page 1) Dempsey-Tunney match first and was prepared to go stage if elsewhere, presumably Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City, if denied the right to put it on in New York City. Rickard, who also appeared before the commission empowered to act for Dempsey, declared he could not recede from his plan to match the champion with Tunney. He disclosed that after signing Dempsey at Fort Worth, Texas, some time ago, he approached Harry Wills' manager on the subject of signing for a title bout only to be informed that the negro was still tied up under contracts signed with Chicago and South Bend, Ind., interests. Subsequently, the promoter added, he signed Tunney, advanced money to him as well as to Dempsey, and felt obligated to go through with the match regardless of the attitude of the New York commission. Motion Is Tabled Chairman Farley sought to have Dempsey classified formally as ineligible as a result of the champion's failure to accept an ultimatum, expiring today, to sign for a Wills match, but his motion to this effect was tabled. In its place the commission decided its rules on championships would apply to Dempsey. Such applications automatically would make the champion ineligible, since he had not defended his title in nearly three years, but as he is not a licensed boxer its effect remains doubtful. The situation simply is that the champion is barred from New York so long as he does not fight Wills, the recognized and official challenger. The next move in the situation, critics agreed, is up to Rickard, but the promoter tonight declined to say what it would be or whether he would decide definitely to take the Tunney-Dempsey battle to Jersey City.

Dr. Jaeger, Government volcano expert, brings from Hawaii an interesting device. Stoved in basement or cellar, this household seismograph will warn the family of any coming earthquake sufficiently in advance. That interests New Yorkers, told that a big earthquake fault runs from the Statue of Liberty up the Hudson River. But many little earthquake rumbles mean nothing and after a few warnings families will become as indifferent to earthquake warnings as workmen do to bars of dynamite. There is an automobile for every six people in the United States, about half as many as there ought to be. Before long, in hundreds of thousands of families, there will be a separate car for each person past sixteen years of age. Each bird needs its own wings. The Reverend Tertius Van Dyke, son of the extremely able Dr. Henry Van Dyke, quits his fashionable New York church for a small town pulpit. "The people of New York want their religion with a jazz tempo," he says, and he doesn't intend to shoot off fireworks or wear a red vest, to save men's souls. Mr. Van Dyke's complaint is just. When you have bare-footed young ladies dancing in the church aisles to "express religion" you push competition far. But pulp sensationalism is not new. It was old when in Brooklyn DeWitt Talmage raced up and down his long platform, or Henry Ward William Ho Most recent photograph of the States and Chief Justice of the U. 'Bryan Luck? Despite the fact that early returns showed Ruth Bryan Owen, daughter of the famous late Wm. J., a winner of the Democratic nomination for Congress from the Fourth Florida district, it would seem she lost as the final official count is being tabulated. Beecher sold a good looking mulatto slave girl at public auction in his pulpit. Farmers ask a fair profit on money, labor and life invested in their farms, and are told "Oh, that is ruled by the laws of supply and demand. We cannot do anything about THAT." When railroads tell the Republican Government they want at least seven per cent on fifteen to twenty billions of securities, largely pure water, no supply and demand platitudes are handed out. The interstate Commerce Commission most politely raises freight and passenger rates, and the public pays. The farmers are tired of that. If you wonder WHY the farmers are tired, look at today's Wall Street news: No. 1: "Class 1 railroads gain 14.7 per cent in earnings." No. 2: "Corn is worth about fifty-five cents a bushel on the farm where it grows." Bankers wondered how much Secretary Mellon must borrow to meet the Government's spring payments. Optimists thought he might get along with two hundred millions. Conservatives said at least three hundred millions. Mr. Mellon amazes high finance by borrowing no money. Uncle Sam can finance himself, thanks to Mr. Mellon's management. The people pay him $12,500 year, and this year he will clear off eight hundred millions more of public debts. Gertrude Ederle, extraordinary young American swimmer, will try the English Channel once more, and says, "Last year's experience will help me." It should help her not to eat another heavy meal before she enters the water. A thoroughbred horse eats nothing on the morning of the race. Men know how to handle horses, but don't know how to handle themselves. Millions of young Americans eat heartily and immediately dance the Charleston violently, adding a heavy percentage to the American dyspepsia record. Tell that to your children.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M.D. FRESH VEGETABLES. You sit down at your radio and "tune in" for the biggest city your set will reach; you listen to the program, which usually embodies that plantive song, "Thank God For a Garden." The singer perhaps exists more than thirty-five miles away from anything like a garden, and buys her vegetation after it has passed through a dozen hands possibly including one manufacturing company! The value of the real garden is inestimable. Out in the country where the sweet rain falls from heaven—where pure soil nourishes the fresh, tender plants; where the peas, beans, radishes, lettuce, onions, and what not, grow to perfection in the purest air imaginable; where strawberries, mespberries, currants, gooseberries, cherries, ripen in the sunshine. Where even the cucumbers are so harmless! Where tomatoes are real where the hand of the "middleman" the wholesaler, the "jobber" and the refrigerator bin are unknown. Is it any wonder that rural life stands enviable in its completeness? Fresh garden-grown food is the best know diet. Here the vitamin is at its best and highest potency. Here the protein in the vegetable is manufactured in Nature's wonderful laboratory. Here the plant-juices supply the body with everything needed for its restoration and recreation. Recently I read that we have about 200 new diseases, since the advent of scientific canning, curing, sterilizing, and pasteurization! It's enough to set one to thinking. Some time ago, I was horrified to find in one of our canned soups—a standard variety—a thousand or so of little starch discs, each bearing letters of the alphabet, presumably advertising!

Screen Daredevil Raises Calves BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER LYSTER has lost his shell from shell shock in France. Upon his return to London he fails to recognize NAN MARRABY, to whom he be- came engaged before he went home. Nan, heart-broken, has re- turned to care for her three motherless sisters there. She has been in constant communication with her friend. JOAN ENDICOTT, in London, Joan insists that Nan ought to forge Peter and marry his Blend and John, Peter and marry his Blend and John ARNOTT, with whom Peter has been spending his leave at the home of Arnott's widowed sister, near the Marraby estate. Nan, her wife driven to despair by her father's mutual difficulties and Peter's maddening aliment, has agreed to marry HARLEY SEPTON, money lender, told gold her that Peter is also his debtor. Peter goes to London where he meets Joan and for the first time that he is the man her whom Nan is grieving. She on her to see Nan and Peter decides to her her and get the details of the who whether if Nan were not engaged to another man he would go back to her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "That is a question which I have been asking myself ever since I met you," he said. "And it is a question which I cannot answer. After all—he laughed mirthlessly—"it is for her to say, isn't it? "I don't think there is much need to worry about what she will say," Joan answered. "And, at any rate, you won't tell her that you met me." Lyster went on presently. "Or that we spoke—or that you know anything—or that I do." "I promise I won't say a word," said Jao eagerly; "I won't even know you when we meet. But how can I see you again—to tell you, if Nan tells me anything?" "I'll come over—I do call sometimes—it won't look at all strange. I think we are nearly in." He rose and let down the window. He looked eagerly out along the platform as the train came to a standstill. "Supposing Nan is here to meet me?" Joa said in a panic. "She is not here," Peter answered. "But perhaps you had better get out first, in case she should be anywhere about." He held his hand to her. "Thank you so much," he said. Joan's eyes tilted suddenly with tears. "You haven't anything to thank me for," she said with unusual humility. "I only hope you'll be happy—both of you." Nan was not altogether pleased to receive Joan's wire announcing her arrival. She rather dreaded seeing anybody associated with the past, and she did not want to be subjected to Joan's volley of questioning. Sefton had been to the house continuously. She had arranged to go out in the car with him when Joan's wire came. Sefton was furious. "You put me off for anybody and everybody," he said, "and I won't have it. Who is this Joan Endicott? You've never told me about her before." "I've never told you about any of my friends," Nan said with dignity. "You forget that I've known you such a little while. She is a very old friend of mine—I lived with her in London till I came down here." "Then she knows about Lyeter?" "Yes," said Nan. "Have you told her that you are engaged to me?" He flew into a rage. He would not have people coming down and taking up all her time. The train was in before they reached the station and she met just outside. Screen Daredevi —NEA. Los Angeles Bureau Hollywood, the city of fads, has taken a new one—breeding stock for exhibition. Richard Talmadge, daredevil of the screen, is shown here with an aristocratic Jersey which cost him $10,000. The calf and Richard will be seen at various state fairs this year. --- rapturous cry. She looked up at Nan's pale face. "Have you been ill?" she asked. "Oh, Nan, you have got thin." "Nan tried to laugh." "My dear, I have to work now I am at home," she said. "You look as if you've been really ill." Joan insisted. "I dare say it's worry, though—worry makes one look ill sooner than anything." She kept her face awed—she waited for the screen of assessment which she thought would come, but Joan was not much good at acting— R. J. SCOON "After I'd seen Peter down here once or twice I knew it was all up." she just gasped once, and then said, rather lamely: "Oh, good gracious!" "You don't seem very surprised," said Nan; "I thought you would be." "So I am—of course I am—after all you've said about never marrying anyone except—" she broke off in a panic. "Oh, I'm so sorry, dear—I'm afraid I very clumy." "It doesn't matter at all," said Nan. "Mr. Lyster is staying down here, and I often see him; at least—he has been, but he went away today. We are—we are quite good friends," she added. "I am engaged to a man named Harley Secon," she went on, after a moment. "He isn't young—good-looking—but he's rich, and he's got a town house, and a place down here—and a motor car, and as he's given me a diamond ring that must have cost hundreds of pounds. I should think." She spoke with a sort of m.not ony. "Oh, Nan!" said Joan. There was a world of reproach and sorrow in her voice. "I never thought you would marry anyone for money," she added. "I'm not," said Nan sharply. "At least—" She pulled herself up quickly and tried to laugh. "Don't let's talk about it any more. You'll see him for yourself soon. He haunts the house from morning till night," she added. "And—and Peter Lyster?" Joan asked immediately. Nan looked away. "Oh, he used to come round sometimes. The boys love him." "And so do you, my poor soul," Joan thought pityingly. It was not until they went to bed and Nan came to Joan's room for a few moments that Nan herself broached the subject. "I suppose you've been thinking what a heartless brute I am," she said with an attempt at lightness. "I mean—about being- engaged. After all I've said, too. Do you remember the way we used to argue about what we would do it—if anything happened to Tim—or or Peter!" Ian shivered. "It's unucky to talk about it," she said. Nan made an impatient gesture. "Nothing can change my luck now," she said. "But we won't talk about it unless you wish. I just wanted to say that—that it's not because we—forgotten that I'm marrying Mr. Seewell. I shall never forget as long as I live." Her cheeks were fiery, her eyes burned. "It wasn't any use waiting—and struggling on—and hoping," she said, in a strangled voice. "After-after I'd seen Peter down here once or twice I knew it was all up. Besides . . ." She stopped, and there was a long silence which Joan did not dare to break. "Mm, mmm on! Then life, Seftan came. He's rich, and father gave him money. I'm only telling you this Joan, because you are my friend, and I know you'll never tell anyone. And so, as I knew I couldn't be happy any more, I thought I might as well do the best I could for—for the family. "She laughed dreadfully. "There are the boys to think of, you see, she added. "And I love them especially Claudie." "Is Claudie the little one?" Joan asked helplessly. "Yes . . . and so—that's why. I had to tell you; but you won't tell anyone, will you, Joan—promise." "You know I won't." Joan said. She got up, stood on tip-toe and kissed Nan more warmly than she had ever done before. "You're a brave darlin' before. Nan said, 'I'm not brave at all.' Nan said, 'If you only knew. Good-night. I'm glad you came,' she added. The boys made friends with Joan very quickly. "How long are you going to stay?" they asked in a chorus when she appeared at breakfast. Joan laughed. "You're going to stay at all—at least. I do want to think—Nan has enough to do to look after you without me as well." They did not agree with this, and she received prompt invitations to stay as long as she liked. "We'll take you in the woods," Jim promised. "And find you birds' eggs," Buster added. "Mr. Lyster's gone away," said Nan quietly. "No, he hasn't," shrilled Buster again. "I saw him this morning before breakfast—he came down the road when I was out in the garden. He said he'd meet us in the woods where he saw our breakfast." Joan looked quickly at Nan. "I think you've made a mistake." Nan said evenly. "We saw him driving to the station yesterday with Mr. Arnott, you know." "He's come back," Buster insisted. "I saw him." Nan changed the subject hurriedly. Later, Joan followed the boys out into the garden. The weather had taken a turn for the better—it was as warm and sunny as a May morning. She smiffed the country air deliciously as she went. "Where are you boys going?" she asked. "To find Mr. Lyster," came back to her in a chorus. "You can come too, if you like—" Joan hesitated—she looked back at the house. Nan had come to the door and was calling to her. "I'm coming—in a minute." Joan caught hold of Claudie and detained him. "Can you keep a secret?" she asked, in a whisper. Claudie's eyes shone. "Yes," he said, with an emphatic nod. Joan produced a letter from her pocket—she folded it and crushed it into his fat little hand. PEN POINTERS Nashville advertises itself as the city that makes 20,000,000 tins annually.

How 10,000 Acres of Alfalfa Change Community Life THIRTY acres of alfalfa on every farm would change American rural life as much as the coming of the automobile. That is the contention of M. A. Nye, representing the Blue Valley Creamery Institute Farm Service, at Sauk Center, Minn., and who is largely responsible for the 10,000-Acre Alfalfa Club here, the first of its kind in the world. The institute is co-operating with farmers, bankers and business men in many sections in establishing more of the clubs. "Alfalfa. if managed properly," says Nye. "can bring the farmer a richer life. On the basis of profits from acreage around Sauk Center we estimate there will be an additional community profit of $300,000 a year as a result of the 10,000 acres of alfalfa." Sank Center's alfalfa club goes back three years. A few farmers in the vicinity had grown alfalfa for years, but most of them had gone to a planting hay without regard for the quality of alfalfa. In 1923 a senior at the institute told the profits to be donated alfalfa and a campaign was begun. In 1925 the acreage had grown from 200 acres to 2600 and it is expected M. A. Nye to realize the 10,000 curs goal within a few years. "There is no combination of feeds so economical for the production of milk, butterfat, pork and eggs as corn and alfalfa," says Nye.

The treasured relic of American Independence is being shown to visitors at certain times during the exposition. The words came from the mouth of a four-year-old child. Morton Suitan, of Detroit. The boy was not boasting; he spoke with all the frank enthusiasm of youth. And he has furnished proof by his playing that the words are not empty wasty. Little Morton astounded leading musicians of Detroit recently by his extraordinary playing from memory. He was "discovered" in a piano playing contest held in Detroit, in which scores of children took part. The case with which Morton won his way through the elimination tests has made him a choice for the final honors which will be decided in August. Skill Wins Applause In the trials, the boy rambed through children's pieces triumphantly and brought applause for the skill that he showed in the easier pieces by the great masters. His victory was climaxed when he sat and expected Beethoven's Minuet and Apageno's Magic Meledy by Moriarty the technique of an artist for singing in Japanese Doll for the assembled musicians. Now he is learning to play from memory. Bach's Minuet. His 6 teacher Mrs kose Rutkmaine, revealed during the recital that the boy can master a piece within two weeks. He practices for one hour each morning and is given lessons for an hour five days a week Little Morton's start at the piano parallels that of the great master the boy admires. Morant, when an infant, absorbed music by listening to the lessons given to his sister, Maria Anna. When Morton was barely two, he would sit at his sister's side while she practiced, quietly listening to the music. When she had finished he begged her to show him now to play, and actually cried when she at first Goes to Realtain His sister was surprised at the ease with which Morton learned the elementary facts of the piano.

Smedley Butler, of the marines, can't smile very broadly because he recently had his teeth removed, but he's willing to try. Butler, former public safety director of Philadelphia, had his host, Col.

Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man. 10H7 By An Insider (Reprint and publishing rights reserved exclusively by the author.) (Continued from last week.) Many readers believe that the life and conditions are extremely brutal within a prison. I have never found this to be true. Separation from loved ones is the pang that hurts. Keep your mind otherwise occupied and you can find contentment just as truly as thousands of people are daily finding it in the frontier camps etc. The food (which is practically the same today as ten years ago) is very plain, but plentiful, at least it is wholesome. It would satisfy the necessity of life and give plenty of nourishment to anyone (thousands in the free world are not receiving regulary as good) but the writer must admit that many were the hours that he would long and dream of the rich fancy cooking that he had been accustomed to. Magazines newspapers and other periodicals are received by the men from all parts of the world and many a man has found himself, and become versed and learned thru reading and study in their little cell home-malace! Under Mr. Frensdorf's administration men were allowed musical instruments of all kinds in their cells and until seven in the evening the din and clamor of a dozen or more varieties of music and would-be music would permit a thinker no solace. In addition the prison affords an inmate band and orchestra and while it seems universally true that inmates, either through jealousy or a wrong sense of appreciation never praise their own band or orchestra still this writer goes on record and states that dressed in different uniforms and unknown to the men, that their renditions would create instantaneous applause. In fact, whenever they are able to entertain for outsiders or go outside the prison for a concert they are always a big drawing card. Under Mr. Frensdorf's regime colored men took active part in both the band and orchestra. On Sundays in the big dining hall where upwards of twelve hundred men dressed in their Sunday best, sitting in long rows at tables extending the entire length of the masive room, eating their best meal of the week, while the orchestra plays the popular airs of the day, is indeed an impressive sight that one must see and read the souls of lost men. To actually experience such a sitting one will never be able to forget same. ROANOKE, VA. Mrs. Gertrude Loftis, Key Stone, W. Va., is visiting her mother, Mrs. Laura Sims, 505 N. Jefferson Street.

ONE DEAD IN KNIFE DUEL Two men fought a duel over a woman in her home in Chicago this week, which resulted in the death of one and the serious wounding of the other—an aged man. He is Charles Coffey, 63 years old. He was cut in the left and right sides of his neck by Robert Brown, 35, who was fatally stabbed with a butcher knife by Coffey in the home of Mrs Alice Sewell, also known as Mrs Wooten. The affray started a few minutes after Brown entered the Sewell home on a visit to relatives of his wife, Mrs, Allie Brown, an aunt of Mrs Sewell Coffee, former roomer of Mrs, Sewell, was there. The men greeted each other and as Brown started into the front room Coffey called him back and asked him why he told Mrs Sewell about the remark he (Coffey) had made about her sometime ago, according to Mrs. Brown. Brown replied that he never told her but his wife did. Then Coffey is said to have struck him. Brown then drew a knife and struck Coffey in the neck. The old man soaked a butcher knife and cut him in the abdomen, neck and right leg. Brown left the house and tried to make it to his home but he fell in an alley, where he was found by the police. He was taken to the hospital, where he died. DO YOU KNOW HER? I would like to locate Mrs. Hager Whitting. The last time I heard from her she was living at 225 Chapel St., Norfolk, Va.

After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago we've leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE, 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE Mr. L. J. Hayden, 224 West Broad Street, Richmond, Va I received your treatment O. K., and I have started to taking it already for a few days, and it has already begun to improve my aliment so I am sending to you for one more bottle of medicine for the b'ood. I have spoken to many of my friends and they say they are going to send for a treatment. I think it is a great remedy. I do not suffer with my pains as I used to and my appetite is just fine and I sleep much better every night and feel fine monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Boll, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes", the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. 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 cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowomen. As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for. THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it.

The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indie putable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.
