THE RICHMOND PLANET NOT GUILTY OF GEO. WHITFIELD MURDER Martha Carter Proves Self-defense.--Is Set Free. Judge Mathews' Message-Good Character and Upright Living Greatest Asset-Commonwealth's Attorney Satterfield Asks for Acquittal. 77-Year-Old Colored Woman Wins Approval of Court--A Touching Scene VOLUME XLIII, NO. 36 NOT G Martha Judge M Living 77-Year- SELF-DEFENSE WINS When the case of Martha Carter, charged with killing George Whitfield was called in the Police Court, the witnesses all testified to the fact that she stabbed him in self-defense. This ended the case and she was discharged from custody. AGED WOMAN IS FREED A touching scene took place in the Hustings Court, here this morning (Monday, July 12th) when Margaret Eldridge, better known in her neighborhood as 'Aunt Marguerite' appeared before Judge W. Kirk Mathews to answer to an indictment tound against her July 6, 1926 and bailed July 7th with Melvin E. White as her bondman in the sum of $500.00. A jury had just found a verdict of guilty in another whisky case, when 'Aunt Margaret' as called, the same against her was wore out by Officer W. D. Wuing and charged the storing at 10 W. Clay Street of six full half gallon jars and one half gallon jau of whisky, the latter being one-eighth full, the same being designated as ardent spirits. LIQUOR ON BACK PORCH. A glass was found beside it. Aunt Margaret was sitting on the back porch, where the liquor was found. Commonwealth's Attorney David E Satterfield quietly arose and informed His Honor that this case was different from the one that had preceded it. He did not believe the woman was guilty and that he would not ask for a conviction. He requested permission from Judge Mathews to ask the jury to acquit her. Judge Mathews, with evident feeling gazed upon the colored woman and asked her age. She replied that she was seventy-seven years old. WHITE ATTORNEY COUNSEL Attorney George V. Oliver (white) was her attorney. He had dwell upon the fact that she was of good character, never having been inside of a courthouse before, not even as a witness, in her life. It was then after directing a verdict of acquittal that Judge Mathews called her before the bar and told her to go home and teh all of her people of the value of doing right and living right. He wanted it understood that people of her type and character of her no trouble in that Court. Those, who had been formed the courtroom say that no one else had been witnessed there in a decade. Aunt Margaret went out in a most pleasant frame of mind and she is delivering the Judge's message to her neighbors. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified on the estate of Louis H.

Staunton, Va., July 9, 1926. During the recent sessions of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Chairman W. E. Brown, of the Richmond delegation, reported that peace overtures were made by him and the representatives of the Crowell administration forces as they were called agreed to hold a conference with a view to bring accord instead of discord between the disagreeing parties. The agreement was broken. He stated that out of 172 lodges, the administration forces recognized only thirty-eight and the others were permitted to sit in the body by suffrance. Must Keep Quiet. If they kept quiet and did not interfere with the plans of the administration, they were not interfered with, but if they did not a reminder soon came that they were not entitled to recognition. When the administration forces made this point, then the chair ruled in accordance therewith. Still John W. White, of Manassas, who disagreed with the administration's plans and who defeated the first attempt to elect W. B. F. Crowell was ultimately defeated for re-election as Grand Lecturer. No Desire to Run. After this, no one else showed any desire to run for office. Efforts were made too to have Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., to address the Grand Lodge for half an hour. It is noised around here that in a conference with Sir Crowell he was told that he would be required to virtually submit to censorship, even under a motion of personal privilege. He was also told that he would be permitted to speak upon the report of the Committee having in charge the report of the Grand Attorney. That Verbal Report. Mitchell's friends considered this a trick for the reason that the Grand Attorney made only a verbal report. It was not in writing and the committee accordingly never made any report. When the Grand Attorney was asked about his right to practice law and accordingly to be Grand Attorney for the Grand Lodge, he stated that he had his license in his satchel to practice. He had paid his tax in April and he smilingly turned to Attorney Jos. R. Pollard and is reported to have said that he thought he was earlier in doing this than his associate. Cannot Legally Prestice Law The subject was dismissed with a smile. Mr. Mitchell was outspoken in his statement that Attorney W. H. C. Brown had no legal authority to practice his profession in Virginia or to receive compensation for such practice. This was why his name never appeared on any of the court documents with the name of Jos. R. Pollard, who is a recognized attorney in this State. Consultation with attorneys and the examination of the law brought out the fact that W. H. C. Brown has no legal right to draw a salary as an attorney or to receive compensation for legal services as he had done in the Grand Court. On the Pay Roll. Still he is on the pay roll of the Grand Lodge at a salary of $1,000 per year, thus excluding a regularly legally authorized attorney from oc- (Continued on page 4.) FIFTH ST. CONTINUES DEDICATION PROGRAM The dedicatory services at Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday, were a continuation of the glorious and brilliant exercises of the week previous. Pastor Tj T.

A VISIT TO SUSIE BOYD IN THE CITY JAIL Editor John Mitchell. Jr. visited the City fail last Saturday and after waiting some time, Susie Boyd was permitted to come into the consultation room. She is a spare built brown skin girl of medium build. She frankly stated her side of the question, "This will always be a lesson to me," she said. "We are from Charlotte, North Carolina and have been here about four years. We live at 511 W. Baker Street. There are six of us, including my self. They are: Alice Taylor, Pinal Goode, Elizabeth Cox, Frances Swann Georgia Swann, sisters. I have a brother named William Swann. NEVER ARRESTED BEFORE "I was working for Mrs. Houseworth 1808 Hanover Avenue and I wrote the checks on the State and City Branch, Harrison and Broad Streets. I do not know what made me do such a thing. It has been a lesson to me. I have never been either arrested or in any trouble before. The way the trouble occurred between the lawyers was this. You see my sisters employed Mr. C. W. Moss, and Lawyer Oppenheimer for whose family I worked before, was in the case. I wanted him. When I found out what my sisters had done, I wanted both of them. BABY WITH SISTERS "They said Lawyer Oppenheimer wouldn't continue in the case with him. I did not know what to do. No, my baby is not in jail with me. It is with my sisters." "This ended the interview and a few moments later Editor Mitchell was again in The Planet office. DR. PEYTON AT MT. MORIAH DEDICATION The dedication of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church took place last Sunday morning, when the members of the congregation marched from their temporary meeting place at the Armstrong High School Auditorium to the new edifice on First Street be between Baker and Charity Streets.

The subject was, "God's Promise to His People." DR. PEYTON CALLED The congregation, which packed the basement, was swayed by his eloquence. The morning's collection was $201.07. It is understood that Rev. Dr. Peyton has been called to the pastorate. Rev. W. D. White retiring, and will take charge in the Fall. Arrangements are under wav to complete the structure. "SUSIE GETS SIX YEARS" (Richmond, Va. News Leader.) Judge Mathews is to be commended for having the courage to correct a plain judicial mistake in the case of Susie Boyd, whose sentence of thirty years for forgery he yesterday reduced to six. The News Leader never assumed for a moment that Judge Mathews attended to let the sentence of thirty years stand. The paper believed the judge wished to warn the colored people against forgery and that he purposed after Susie had been some time in prison, to ask the governor to release her. In this way, as The News Leader reasons it, the court thought it would serve the large end of deterring other colored people from this crime without imposing too great hardship on this particular offender. The mistake was in the effect this sentence had on the colored population and in the effect it was apt to have on trial juries. As The News Leader stated at the time the sentence appeared abhorrent, rather than deterrent. Instead of making the Negroes "look on forgery as a crime that was punished almost as heavily as murder, it made them doubt if they were getting the same sort of justice as white people. There was no answer to the 'deadly parallel' John Mitchell drew in The Planet immediately after Susie's conviction—thirty years for forgery amounting to $183 and a two-year suspended sentence for a white woman convicted in police court of shoplifting $13,000 of merchandise. Nothing quite so damaging to good racial relationship has been done in Richmond in years. Nothing so discouraging those who have been trying to convict the Negro that he can live safely and apply in the South. That, primarily, was the reason The News Leader took case, though the paper hopes the time will never come when an individual who has received injustice cannot look to The News Leader or to any other newspaper in Virginia for assistance, even when nothing is involved but the fate of that individual, however humble. It was not necessary for any association interested in fair dealing to employ counsel for Susie. Respon sible colored leaders were given as assurance, as soon as Susie was convicted, that her sentence would not be permitted to stand, and that assurance would have been fulfilled even if the woman had had no lawyer. This is not said to discredit either Mr. Oppenheimer, who took Susie's case as an act of charity, at her instance and proceeded with skill, or Mr. Moss, who was retained by a colored organization, and usefully served her. The statement is made simply in the hope that the colored people will know they have friends among the white people of Richmond who will always help them in distress, if only the facts are made known. The News Leader does not believe that any Negro unrepresented by counsel is going to suffer hereafter from undue severity in hustings court. part I. A judge who manfully corrects a first mistake, openly and in daylight is not apt to make a second of the same sort. The News Leader anticipates, on the other hand that he will see that undefended. Negroes are given counsel and that where they insist on pleading guilty without counsel, they receive as large a measure of mercy as the circumstances permit. All the judges and all court officials of Virginia should remember that justice is put on trial in its dealing with two classes of people PRICE, FIVE CENTS RDER et Free.

The Sunday School was well attended, the singing was enthusiastic and the hearts of the children grateful for their recent picnic. At 11 A. M. Dr. Hatcher preached on "The Powers of the World to Come." An unusual message showing us the beauty of heavenly-mindness, how it delivers up from the Tyranny of the present world, sustains us amid shattered ideals and comforts us concerning our departed loved ones." At 8 P. M., the second in the series on the Christian ministry, "The Perils," was illumination and food for heart and mind. Mrs. Blanche Bailey sent $2.00 from New York, Mrs. Susie Bryant sent $22, tithing from Conn. Mrs. Eugenia Witherspoon, of $103.3 North Seventh Street, united with us and our offering for the week was over $96.00. Our official board meetings are wonderful in fellowship and interest. The class leaders are making larger reports than ever in the history of the church. Last Monday night the leaders reported $20 class money. The baby contest is on. Nearly a dozen beautiful babies are running. Dr. Peyton, of Mt. Moriah, will preach for us on the night of the contest, August 9th. Buy a ticket. Next Sunday at 11 A. M. Dr. Hatcher will preach on subject, "Before God and Men," a message on the complex of justification. Hear him. At night, the third in the series on the Christian Ministry, "The Message." Special music. The latest addition to our choir is Miss Dessie Woolfolk, a beautiful high school girl. Welcome to Third Street. We go to Hood Temple, July 18th, at 3:30 P. M. —those who have great influence and those who have none. It is as much a disgrace to justice to show harshness to the weak as it is to be subservient to the strong. The color line ought to end at the bar. Not even in the police court, in trying the very rowhest Negroes, should there be either 'vity or hustling or any of the 'come along here nigger' tone. No matter how low the individual offender may be, or how often he has been in court, the Negro is human and has human sensibilities, sharpened in distress; and even if this were not so, jealousy for the good name of Virginia justice should prompt the fullest dignity, the largest consideration in dealing with any culprit. If the Negro is not protected in the courts, where can he look and what can he hope? Fn ee aE eg at EN eT Se eat?

Stumbles on innocence sometimes.—Butler. What kind of a law is it that would countenance such treatment of an old colored woman of the "black mammy" type as was brought to the attention of the Judge and Commonwealth's Attorney of the Hustings Court of the City of Richmond, last Monday morning? Is it possible that the Christian people of this community, the followers of the good and lowly Jesus are aware that this is only one of thousands of cases, where the innocent are made to suffer for the guilty? We refer to the case of Aunt Margaret, who by her open countenance and frank, polite manner appealed to the better nature of Attorney Dave E. Satterfield and opened the well-springs of sympathy in the heart of that august jurist, His Honor, W. Kirk Mathews, Judge of the Hustings Court. We want the words uttered there to go broad-cast not only in this city, but into the "Far North," in order that all of us may realize that we are coming "unto our own" again down here. Truly it has been a long night. But we do not wish to lose sight of the issue. Here is a colored woman, who had never been inside of a courthouse either as the accused or as a witness. It was only through the mercy of a good God and a kind neighbor that she was saved the humiliation of a commitment to jail. We visited her humble home and she told us the story. Some neighbor had told her that they had heard dogs barking during the night as though some one was prowling around. She occupied a room on the ground floor. She was sitting on her back porch, when the officers came, evidently having been "tipped off" by some of these disreputable spotters. The severity of the law has led these dealers in ardent spirits to seek a temporary hiding place anywhere for their supplies and then they go and get them afterwards. With no evidence connecting her with this, she was arrested and carried to the station house. The old trunk, unlocked and with a broken removal top was in the back yard and simply because she was sitting there and the old trunk belonged to her she was arrested. The law requires that the Commonwealth prove guilt and not that the prisoner at the bar shall establish his innocence. This is a fundamental principle of English law. It was then that Commonwealth's Attorney Satterfield hesitated and halted and proceeded to ask the court to direct a verdict of acquittal saying frankly, "I don't believe she is guilty." The officers, who arrested her, should have been equally frank in their dealing with this remarkable case, for they were personally cognizant of the surrounding circumstances. Colored folks, live upright and desist from acquiring money by questionable processes. Make friends with these white folks hereabouts, who will permit you so to do and see what you can do along the praying line. Ask the Holy Master to open the eyes of these prohibition bigots, who in making unreasonable demands upon the bootleg raiders of the police department are causing the commission of just such outrages as were perpetrated upon this humble colored woman of the Old School of servants. The summary: Never before charged with crime, never before in a police station or in a court room as a witness, never before had counsel to defend her, never before had a Commonwealth's Attorney to declare his belief in her innocence and never before made the subject of a complimentary deliverance from the "Too Much Efficiency" By E. J. RATH for efficiency H. Hedge Henry Hedge, efficiency engineer with Economy and Efficiency Corporation, Limited, has branded the American home as grossly inefficient.

I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever; that considering numbers, nature and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation, is among possible events; that it may become probable by supernatural interference!—Thomas Jefferson. K. OF P. IN STAUNTON (Continued from page 1) cupying this position. A visit to the Auditor of Public Accounts brought out the fact that W. H. C. Brown had paid his revenue license tax and this would have led one to believe that he was a recognized attorney in the full sense of the word. A visit to Secretary Watt's of the Board of Law Examiners of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia disclosed the fact that Attorney Brown had never passed the required examination and could not practice law in Virginia. That Newport News License. Paying a license tax in Newport News, Va., did not give him that right and privilege and if he received compensation for legal services, he is liable to prosecution. This was why Jos. R. Pollard got the check of the Grand Lodge for $20,799.45. It is reported, too, that the receivers declined to pay this check over to Pollard until he brought the officers of the Grand Lodge here and whatever followed were the acts of these officers and not the receivers. More About the Trunk. Mr. Mitchell had these facts here in "that trunk" which he was willing to disclose to the proper committees of the Grand Lodge, if permitted so to do. He stated plainly that he did not want to appeal to other sources and this was why he had gone to the expense of coming to Staunton. He insisted that Attorney W. H. C. Brown was not properly eligible to the position of Grand Attorney and could not legally perform the duties of this office and then only by proxy, being barred by statute from receiving any compensation therefor. An Embarrassing Situation. The mere retention of Attorney Jos. J. Pollard did not "cure" the situation. If Pollard could perform the duties of the office, then Pollard should be elected Grand Attorney in his own right, a position for which he is specially fitted and not as treasurer, a position for which he is not fitted, while performing the duties of Grand Attorney. In dealing with attorneys, physicians and dentists, the law THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA reads: "In addition to being licensed by the Board of Law Examiners, they must also obtain, under penalty of $50 to $100 for each offense, a revenue license." Cannot Receive Compensation. W. H. C. Brown proudly declared that he had obtained the revenue license. Mr. Mitchell wanted to know about the Board of Bar Examiners license, without which he could not practice law in Virginia or receive a peeny for legal services without making himself liable to prosecution. Mr. Mitchell averred that instead of telling the Grand Lodge the exact status of the case, he had evaded the issue by saying that he had paid his license, when he knew that he could not practice law without also holding a license so to do from the Board of Bar Examiners of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia. That Ten Per Cent Fee. It had been reported that ten per cent had been charged and deducted as fee for legal fees in the collection of the money paid over by the receivers to the Grand Lodge and Grand Court. The charge on the Grand Court was $600 and on the Grand Lodge, it would amount to $2,000. Did the attorney for the Grand Lodge permit the assessing of attorney's fees on a job for which he is being paid $1,000 per year, although the treasury at the Grand Lodge session here was virtually empty? Supreme Lodge Taxes. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green had asked for five thousand dollars from the Grand Lodge to help him in his great work at Chicago and Grand Chancellor W. B. F. Crowell had admitted that he had not sent this appeal to the members of the Order, although when the Grand Lodge was in dire straits before Sir Green had borrowed money to loan this State in a sum amounting to $13,000. The Final Summary. The summary of the situation as drawn by Mr. Mitchell and his friends was that Col. Joseph Button had saved up for the Grand Lodge and turned over to the Grand Lodge $11,000. Receivers of the Mechanics Savings Bank had turned over to Jos. R. Pollard, Attorney, $20,000, only $2,000 of which had been deposited in the Grand Lodge treasury and $13,000 plus interest paid to the Supreme Lodge outside of the treasury. Besides the tax money collected from members and that at Staunton, practically all of the money had disappeared, except $4,000, as reported and with the payment of outstanding obligations, this would disappear also. Heavy Legal Cost. If the reports made are true, the legal department is costing $3000 per year, nearly as much_h as the salary of all of the other officers of the Grand Lodge combined. CHICAGO, ILL.

TOBEY AND TYKE THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA GETS SIX YEARS FOR FORGER $ ^{1} $ (Richmond, Va. News Leader.) A sentence of six years in the penitentiary was given J. M. C. Duke, of 3104 Kensington avenue, former official of the Hermitage Park Corporation, by Judge W. Kirk Mathews in hustings court Monday, when Duke entered a plea of guilty to three of the twelve indictments against him. Duke pleaded guilty to an indictment charging forgery of an endorsement or of uttering a check known by him to have a forged endorsement, an indictment charging the larceny of a diamond ring, valued at $100, from the Hermitage Park concern, and an indictment charging the theft within the past four years of $544 from the corporation. He was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary on each of the three indictments, and the remaining nine indictments were continued to the October term. Seven of the indictments were for forgery, and five were for grand larceny to the total amount of $2,404. Just after Duke plead guilty Commonwealth's Attorney Dave Satterfield announced to the court that he had investigated the case thoroughly and recommended the six years' sentence on the three indictments This was accepted by Judge Mathews, who then sentenced the man and said that he would be taken to the penitentiary at the end of this term of court. He will stay in the city jail until that time. Attorney Harry M. Smith, Jr. represented the accused in court. GIVEN SUSPENDED SENTENCE. Mabel Booker, colored, who was accused of the theft of a quantity of household goods and other valuables from a West Franklin Street residence, was given a twelve months' suspended sentence Wednesday by Justice Ingram in police court.

DAVID DANCED, PERHAPS. $1,000 AN HOUR? George Eastman, of Rochester, hunting big game in Africa, has killed his first lion, eight feet long. Doubtless Mr. Eastman pushed the trigger, and the lion did the rest. How would you make that lion understand how a man could travel from Rochester, across the Atlantic Ocean, down to the lion country, just to shoot him? If it were an atheistic lion it would say, "You are talking nonsense. There is no such thing as George Eastman. All is accident." President Coolidge, on his vacation, will fish in a lake where, men tell him, there are no fish. For President Coolidge no such body of water exists. If he fishes, he will catch fish. And if fish are scarce, he will have the more time to think. Taking fish off the hook is an annoying interruption of thought. The President must do hard thinking with wheat and cotton farmers, North and South, fighting each other and nothing "done for the farmer." The President will not fish with fancy "files," but with genuine worms, such as he used to dig up in Vermont or pull out of their ground with his fingers after a rain years ago. Congressmen are going home to rest and learn what their constituents think. Like husbands going home late, they are thinking up a convincing story.

Dancing masters "bar the Charleston," but won't succeed in driving out that wild dance. It is probably like that David danced before the Ark. It enables the dancer to express friezed emotions for which words can't be found. Dancing originally was all wild, as among American Indians or African savages. Primitive man desiring to "express himself," danced himself into exhaustion. Then came brief control, stately minut, waitz, jerky polka, quadrille. There is no personality or expression in them. The Charleston, allowing youth to throw up both legs and arms at once, will stay until our craving for "self expression" shall have been satisfied. Roy D.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. Vegetable Va. Mineral Medicines Most people are ready to buy medicine if it is labelled "purely vegetable." They imagine they are getting something like string beans and lettuce, I suppose—perfectly harmless. We should not forgest that many of the deadliest poisons are vegetable. Opium is a vegetable substance from the juice of the poppy. Strychnine is purely vegetable. Belladonna and all its derivatives are deadly if taken in over-dose. Cocaine is another powerful poison, that is also capable of producing a habit. I know of no mineral medicine that is more dangerous. There are mineral agents that we cannot do without, among the leaders, Iron and Calcium. Manganese is extremely valuable in impoverished blood conditions. Mercury in a poison—deadly in some of its forms, but not more so than aconite or alcohol. The facts are, that medicine of all kinds are good servants but bad masters. Even our food is dangerous, if not taken with a high degree of intelligence. The active poisons are invaluable in the hands of the educated physician. When the inexperienced patient sets his judgment against that of the trained medical man, something unfavorable is extremely likely to happen. Aloes is a vegetable medicine that forms an ingredient of most remedies for that universal complaint, constipation. The patient may slowly mediate himself into the hands of the rectal specialist, if he buys medicine on his own judgment, or by that of the fellow who has the nostrum to sell. No medicine should be taken indiscriminately, or without a thorough knowledge of its effects—a word to the wise is sufficient.

BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER LYSTER loses his memory through shell shoots in Memphis. Upon his return to London he fails to recognize NAN MARRABY, the girl to whom he owes money away. Nan, broken-hearted, has returned home to care for her three motherless stepbrothers. Nan has seen Peter often since he came to ask her. JOHN ARNOTT, at the home of Arnott's widowed sister, near the Marrabry estate. But Peter has been driven to desperation by Peter's apparent indifference and her father's financial difficulties. Nan has agreed to take her. HARLEY SEFTON, money lender, who has told her that Peter is also in his debt. By chance Peter the owner of affairs and he arranges with. JOAN ENDICOT, who is staying with Nan, to find out why Nan is going to marry Sefton. Their plans are in a fight with Sefton Peter's memory is restored. He comes in the early evening to make amends to Sefton, they walk into the garden where Nan breaks down and crises. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY AND then at last she raised her head and tried to laugh. "Have I quite drowned you?" she asked tremulously. "I'm so sorry, but . . . but . . ." She dried her eyes hard and tried to straighten her ruffled hair. "It's a good thing you didn't come in after all," she said, brokenly. "We should have had all the house about our ears by now if you had." "And you can forgive me. I deserve it so little, Nan." "It hasn't been your fault—but even now I don't understand—this morning in the wood." Her blue eyes had his face jealously. "You hadn't remembered me then, Peter." He laughed. "I do—" and then he told her of his chance meeting with Joan. She drew away from him, the blood rushing to her face. "Then it was Joan—and if you hadn't seen her you wouldn't ever have." He caught her hand. "I should—what she told me was only what I always really known at the back of my mind. At first I couldn't understand why it was that I couldn't think about you and wanting to see you—I couldn't settle to anything when I was not with you—I came over here scores of times when you knew nothing about it, Nan, and walked up and down past the house. I hated Arnott because I knew he wanted you, too—" "And yet you wanted me to marry him—" "That was all pretense — I didn't understand . . . and when I heard about Sethon . . . " his voice increased. "Nan, you never cared for that brute—swear that you never cared for him." "If you knew how I hate him—if you knew how sometimes I felt as if I could have killed him . . . but father owed him money—and he told me that . . . that . . ." "That I owed him money, tool Yes. I know that—but it's all a lie. he laughed rudely. 'Nan, I've got one tiny score up against you there—because you believed it.' "Know I was ashamed that I did—but he was so sorry. And I was so desperately unhappy—" "My poor girl" She bit her lion hard. "If you say things like' that I shall cry again" "You shall never shed another tear as long as you live." A. J. SCOUR Somehow it seemed quite easy to let him know now how much she cared. She smiled and shook her head. "Tan't that rather a big promise? But I love you for it—and Peter." She pulled at the little chain round her neck and showed him his ring. "That is where it has been all the time," she said, shyly. "And you asked Mr. Arnott." Peter scowled. "Arnott is to blame for all this—he ought to have told me the truth from the beginning. . . ." "He tried to—he is not to blame at all; he has been most kind." "Are you trying to make me jealous?" "You know I am not—but go on, Peter. I want to hear so much more how did you—when did you . . . oh, you know what I mean." "What are you thinking?" Peter asked. "You don't believe me yet—do you—you are not quite sure." He moved closer to her. "What is it? he asked, passionately, in my, dear! What is it?" Nan's life quarrels. "It's—it's only oh—oh," she said with a sudden burst of very real anguish. "if you haven't loved me all this time, how can you really love me now? There will always be those months and weeks when I wasn't anything to you—when I didn't count at all." It seemed a long time before Lyster answered her. He stood there in the half-light looking past her into the wood, and there was a deep sadness in his face. Then he said slowly, as if he were ... carefully choosing his words: "I don't know how to answer that question, don't but I have always loved you. I must always have loved you, Nan, because no other woman has ever interested me." She did not raise her eyes; there was still something she must say. "There is Mrs. Mears . . ." she said, in a whisper. There was a moment of amazed silence; then Peter laughed. He laughed with such frank surprise and tender scorn that tears of relief stung Nan's eyes. "You're not serious," he said. "Why I never gave her a serious thought! She was very good to me, but she always talked about her husband, poor chap! If ever a woman loved a man I should say that she loved him." "Mr. Softon told me—" Nan began hurriedly; but Peter stopped her. "I forbid you to speak that man's name. He never spoke the truth in his life. I shall take good care to let everyone know how he tried to thrash Claudle, and that's not a pleasant thing for a man to have up against him." "You forget that father owes him money. He'll be more bitter than ever now." "Your father owes him nothing. Nan, have you forgotten that I'm not quite a pauper?" She raised her startled eyes to his face. "You mean that you—you paid him?" she asked in a whisper. "I would do a great deal more than that for you." He took her face in the hollow of his hands. "Nan. I shall never be able to make it up to you—if I live to be a hundred—for these last weeks." She closed her eyes. "I want to forget them. I don't want ever to think of them again." want ever to think of them again." Already they were slipping into the background; already the dreadful feeling of happiness irrevocably lost was less acute. He her cheek against Peter's arm with a righthick. "I ought to be going," she said. "Joan will wonder where I am. I never told her I was coming out." "You're not going back till you say that you've forgiven me—till you say that everything is just as it was, only better—that you love me quite as well—that you never cared a straw for Sefton, or John Arnott." His voice grew suddenly grave. "Nan, supposing you'd married somebody else, and I had not found it late that—that you—" He put his arm around her den fierceness. "I think it would have killed me," he said passionately. Nan put her arms round his neck and laid her cheek to his. Somehow it seemed quite easy to let him know now how much she cared. She marveled that in the old days she had been so shy and undemonstrative. "And darling—when will you marry me?" Peter asked in a whisper. She stirred uneasily. "There are the boys; I can't leave them." "I don't ask you to—except for a honeymoon; you can't expect me to take them all along with us?" he supersmitted whimsically. She laughed. "I don't think I should mind even that—if we were together." She raised her head suddenly. "That was someone calling—it must be Joan. . . Come—we must go back." He caught her to him and kissed her again—a long kiss that swept away the last doubt and shadow between them, then they went back down the road hand in hand. Joan met them at the gate—her small face looked pale and started in the faint moonlight. "Oh, thank goodness," she said when she saw Nan. "I thought—" Then she recognized Peter, and drew a long sigh of relief. "And this, I suppose," she said, breathlessly, "is the end of the story." Peter Lyster looked at Nan—a look that brought a lump to Joan's throat, and made her long for the adored Tim more than ever, if such a thing were possible. "No," he said steadily. "It's only the beginning." THE END PEN POINTERS The book that is most read by Harvard students is "Alice in Wonderland," it has been revealed. . .

Custer's Widow Remembers Massacre, But Hasn't Been West Since 1876 Puppies Disappointed in love, a buxom Barred Rock hen on the E. W. Jamison ranch, Ontario, Calif., has adopted a family of colli pupa. She keeps the nine little fellows with her except at mealtime, when she permits them to swaddle over headquarters for dinner. A little home in New York a oulet gray haired woman with a quiet gray-naird woman sits with memories that are bright with a romance of the Civil War, and sad with a tragedy of the western plains in 1876. But she was the wife of a soldier, and she learned 50 years ago that the wife of a soldier must stand and wait. She is Mrs George A Custer, widow of the immortal general who went down fighting with his men on the Little Big Horn just 50 years ago, June 25. It was during the Civil War—in 1864—that Miss Elizabeth Bacon married the impetuous young West Pointer whose name was to go down in history forever as a symbol of the bravery of America's fighting men. The Long March West After the war, in which Custer won honors for distinguished service at Gettyburg. Yellow Tavern. Winchester. Fisher's Hill. Five Forks and Appomattok, the couple took the long journey west where Fate and the hostile Sioux awaited. "We marched from Kansas to Fort Abraham Lincoln on the Missouri, where we were stationed." Mrs Custer recalled Bismarck was the end of the Northern Pacific then, and the Seventh cavalry (Custer's men) was there to protect the road as it advanced. The Indians were always greatly opposed to it and there were many hostile tribes in that region. "What a town Bismarck was! At the end of nowhere and full of scamps or all kinds! Then as the railroad moved ahead, the whole town would move along with it." It was when General Custer and Mrs. George A. Custer his men had gone out to punish those who were preying on the railroad vanguard and the settlers that THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Radio Permanent, Dependable Utility, Says U. S. Bureau of Standards Expert Radio Permanent, Dependable Utility, Says U. S. Bureau of Standards Expert Radio is now definitely established as a practical, dependable permanent utility for everyday use, in the judgement of Dr. J. I. Dellinger. Chief of the Radio Section of the United States Bureau of Standards. Uncle Sam's final invention in radio technology. The day the radio was in rapid models, Dr. Dellinger was hailed. Following the period of experimental development, during which the market was flooded with scores of "sets" of all degrees of receptivity, the industry has now settled down to the production of a relatively few standard, high quality expertly designed and substantially which may be expected to give as good a five, ten or fifteen years from now as they do when new. "There is no longer any more reason for waiting to buy a good radio set," says Dr. Dellinger. "than there is in waiting to buy a good piano. While there doubtless will be occasional refinements in receiving equipment, these are not likely to affect appreciably the comparative value of the standard sets of today. Tubes, of course, lose their efficiency after from 1000 to 2000 hours of use, but most of them can be reactivated at small cost. The set as a whole, however, will retain its efficiency and value indefinitely." Dr. Dellinger's conclusions as to the stability and permanent utility of standard present day sets is regarded as particularly important by the radio authorities of the Department of Agriculture, who are planning a wide extension of departmental radio services as a direct aid to agriculture. Many farmers, the department finds, have delayed the installation of radio equipment in the belief that sets installed before the industry became stabilized and the science perfected soon would be anticipated and out of date and would either have to be junked or replaced at considerable cost. With assurances from government sources that receiving equipment been perfected and standardized been to insure the permanent use and value of their sets, it is believed the installation of radio equipment on farms will be much more rapid. One great factor that is held to make for stability and longer life he and the men of his command met death. Two hundred men against 5000! Those were the terrific odds that Custer and the Seventh faced on the Little Big Horn when they fought and died to a man. Lesson of Suffering Mrs. Custer has kept the memory of that massacre in her heart for 50 years. But her heart is open, and she has been ready always with a response to others sufferings. "The way to go forward, to feel you and to keep young is to cast the bitterness out of one's life," she said recently. "I learned this lesson through suffering but it is a great truth Steadfastness to ideals and a desire to work are the balance wheels of life. "Since the late war I have taught more than ever of what true patriots the pleneers were. It was a wonderful thing to have done. It was a great honor to have had something to do with the making of this country." Mrs. Custer has been invited several times to take part in the observance of the massacre at Hardin, Missouri. But she has never been back to Montana since that day in 1876 "I love the western spirit that is keeping the day sacred." she said. "But I couldn't do this." Hardin marked the event this year. At the observance, for the first time the two Indian tribes, Sioux and Crow, bitter enemies since the memory of man, pledged themselves to brotherhood and peace. Their vow to peace was a tribute to a great woman.

DELLINGER is the greater simplification in the new standard models. Typical of this is the new one dial set now being built by A. Atwater Kent, in which the entire operation is confined to the movement of just one dial. The fewer dials and switches the operator has to move, the less likely it is that some delicate mechanism will be out of adjustment. At the same time the synchronization accomplished mechanically by the one dial is much more exact than the setting of a number of combinations by hand. "This synchronization," declares Dr. Dellinger, "is accomplished without sacrificing the marvelous sensitivity and selectivity of modern receiving sets." The perfecting of the one dial control, substituting mechanical accuracy for the more or less bitor-miss tuning accomplished by hand, is regarded by Dr. Dellinger as the last refinement needed to provide even the most exacting with a set that can be regarded as a permanent, lasting investment.

She is here shown in a hospital bed where she is recovering. ON the Declaration of Independence in the war in the very center and at the top of all the names, flows the bold signature of a Massachusetts merchant, who disliked the taxes that Great Britain had placed on the goods he sold. That signature is the name of John Hancock, which has been handed down from generation to generation as a popular American catch phrase: "Put your John Hancock on this," meaning "Sign your name." Hancock's name is above the others on the Declaration of Independence because he was president of the Continental Congress at the time the Declaration was signed. John Hancock was born in Massachusetts. While he was growing into manhood the troubles with Great Britain were becoming more strained day by day. In June, 1775, Hancock, who had been vigorous in his expression of ophion against Great Britain, was declared to be an "outhw" by General Gage, at Boston. The general sent troops to capture him and Samuel Adams. Hancock and Adams escaped, but the pursuit led to the battle of Lexington. When Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence he was 39 years old. He was governor of Massachusetts for 11 years, and died at the age of 56.
