NO. 47 HARR Great E CLAIMS O Tunney Do Philadelphia Cove in Entertaining Imperial Order Daughters of E siam Runs Hi (Concluded from last week.) The second day's session was featured with a grand parade. Promptly att:4:45 the delegates and members of the local Folds began to fall in line. The line of march moved off promptly at 5 P. M. The Shepherds Band led the line of march and furnished music for this occasion. Great throngs of people lined tr streets over which the parade passed and gave a rousing welcome to the Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem. Upon reaching the church the enthusiasm of the members and friends of the Order reached its peak. The band played while the pressing throng lost itself in the onrushing wave of hilarity and noisy merriment. The impression made for good for our Order will be seen for many days to come. Wednesday night the hearts of the delegates and friends were lifted heavenward by the eloquent sermon of Rev. Madison A. Bowe. Thursday the convention began to round up its work for the session. The Secretary-Treasurer made his report Thursday A. M. This report showed the addition of more than a thousand and five hundred members during the past year. The addition of the State of Ohio to our jurisdiction as well as a number of cities and towns. The report showed that the Order was progressing along both the numerical and financial lines. Rev. John W. Kemp eulogized the members lost by the Order by death during the past year. Thursday night found the Grand Fold and friends in the midst of very agreeable surroundings in the lecture room of Holy Trinity Baptist Church. The occasion being the collation to the delegates and friends. After a brief spicy program, which included presentations to the Grand Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, Mrs Mary Freeman, Prof. Benjamin Prosser, Band Director of the Shepherds' band and others, the table was spread with refreshments and everybody feasted to his heart's satisfaction. Too much credit cannot be given the Folds of Philadelphia for this magnificent affair. This convention closed one of the most brilliant chapters in the history of our Order. The officers elected for the year were as follows; Grand Presiding Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes; Vice-Presiding Shepherd, Rev. S. J. Ellis; Grand Financial Secy-Treasurer, Amos C.

DABNEY VISITS SOVIET RUSSIA London, England 10 September—The American delegation of students to Soviet Russia sailed from New York on the Samara 11 June. The delegation consisted of eight members, one of whom is a professor at Indiana University, two Negroes and two women. The head of the delegation was Miss Elizabeth K. Van Alstyne, a student of Barnard College, New York. The delegation consisted of the following: Miss Elizabeth K. Van Alstyne, Barnard College; Mervyn Crobaugh, Indiana University, Bloomington Indiana; Miss Flementine Peirce, Barnard College, New York; C. Glenn Carrington, New York School of Social Work; Robert Heckert, Columbia University, New York; Anthony Smith, University of Pittsburgh; Neil Staebler, University of Michigan, and the writer representing Brookwood Labor College, Katanah, New York. Several students who were on the list gave up the trip either because of financial difficulties or the opposition of their parents who thought Russia was a dangerous place for their sons or daughters to visit. The delegation went by way of England landing at Liverpool on 22 June. From Liverpool the delegation went to London, arriving there in the afternoon. We spent four days in London visiting places of interest and preparing for the rest of the trip. Members of the group visited Westminster Abby, St Paul's, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Parliament and the British Museum. Several members succeeded in getting into the House of Commons and hearing the debate on the coal question. On 25 June we sailed from London on the Baltara, a Russian ship, for Libau, Latvia. Our trip lay through the English Channel, the (Continued on page 5) DR. ABNER AT FIFTH STREET Dr. E. W. D. W.

FINANCE THEIR OWN TEMPLE PROJECT The novel financing scheme concerning the Pythian Headquarters Building (Rugzles Building, corner of Ruggles and Washington streets, Boston, Mass.) of the Knights of Pythias, Eastern and Western Hemispheres, has been accomplished. This property was purchased June 1, 1921, at a cost of $210,000, the two original owners taking back a second mortgage of $85,000; each owning $42,500 of same. On June 1, 1926, (5 years from date of purchase) the first and second mortgages had been reduced by $58,000. The second mortgage, owned jointly by the two men holding $42,500 each, had been reduced to $22,500 each. From the beginning, stock had been sold at $5.00 per share to the members of the fraternity (all common stock.). On May 21, 1926, the idea was conceived of the Supreme Lodge buying the remainder of half of the second mortgage ($22,500) and selling same, bearing 6 per cent interest, to the members of the Fraternity in such proportions as the members desired to purchase. On the 13th day of September, 1926, the entire amount of $22,500 had been paid in notes issued and all transactions were consummated by Thos. G. Schuyler, chairman of the Trustee Board, and Geo E. Gordon, Sup. Keeper of Records and Seal. This is believed to be the first instance of a fraternal organization giving its own members the opportunity to buy stock and own mortgage notes on the one piece of property, thereby making the entire proposition financially secure. The Knights of Pythias, Eastern and Western Hemispheres, was organized January 22, 1889. Its manner of conducting its affairs, keeping inviolate every promise to its members, thereby holding their loyalty and confidence, has been evidenced in the unhesitating response in this instance. W. Ashble Hawkins, of Baltimore, Md., is serving his 11th biennial term as Supreme Chancellor. WILLIAMS—ELAM Mr. John P. White and family wish to announce the marriage of their sister, Mrs. Jane White Elam, to Mr. Frank Williams, of South Richmond, Va., Tuesday, September 28, 1926, at their residence, 739 N. 5th Street, at 7 P.

Mr. and Mrs. Williams will reside at 200 Holly, Street, South Richmond FULTON NOTES The Sunday School of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church takes this method of extending a cordial invitation to the men and women of the church to join their respective classes. The sermon last Sunday was delivered by Rev. A. D. Clarke, of Calvary. Rev. C. B. Jefferson, who is in charge of Calvary, preached in the morning at the Union Baptist Church, South Richmond.

Wills and Sharkey to Battle in Ebbets Field Harry Wills and Jack Sharkey, Boston heavyweight, have been matched for a fifteen-round bout at Ebbets Field on October 12 under the promotion of Humbert Fugazy, the latter announced Wednesday, adding that this bout was the first of several that Wills planned and by which he declared he intended to prove his right to a chance at the world's heavyweight title which he sought to win from Jack Dempsey and which he now hopes to lift from the brow of Gene Tunney. Paddy Mullins, Will's manager, signed contract with Fugazy. The Community Fund Drive M. A. Norrell will head the campaign organization among the colored people of Richmond in the Community Fund Drive, October 29 to November 8. The selection of Norrell was made at a meeting of prominent citizens held in the office of John Stewart Bryan, publisher of The News-Leader, and general chairman of the Community Fund, on Thursday afternoon. The meeting was attended by some 35 men and women and included the representatives of the four colored social agencies holding membership in the Community Fund. Mr. Norrell was nominated by Mrs. Maggie L. Walker in a stirring address in which she supported the Community Fund. Mr. Bryan addressed the gathering and outlined the situation facing the Community Fund, appealing to the leaders among the colored people to lend the coming campaign their full support and sympathy. An open discussion followed and closed with those present pledging not only their services in the coming drive but their every effort and thought to making it a success. The four Community Fund agencies serving the colored people are the Phyllis Wheatley branch of the Young Women's Christian Association, the Friends' Asylum for Colored Orphans, the Colored Playground and Recreation Association and the R'chmond Urban League. The coming campaign is the third annual appeal of the Richmond Community Fund. The amount to be asked for the operation of the member agencies has not yet been set, the budget committee meeting daily for the past two weeks studying the budgets submitted by the 36 agencies. Last year $440,000 was asked and subscribed and this year the quota will be set as low as is consistent with the city's social needs and sound business principles. John Stewart Bryan is general chairman of the campaign and T. Croxton Gordon, campaign chairman. Those present at the organization meeting last Thursday were: M. A. Norrell, J. F. Carter, Rev. L. Dickinson C. L. Winfree, Walter White, Dr. D. A. Fergusson, W. R. Allen, Henry Mallory, John H. Braxton, Charles N. Braxton, Levi C. Brown, R. H. Fauntleroy, A. W. Holmes B. L. Jordan, Robert Grey. J R Mayne, M. B. Binga, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Virginia Randolph, Jessie E Williams, Lillian H. Payne, John Mitchell, Jr., A. H. Harris, J. Thomas Hewin, Miss McFall and Mrs. A. H. Harris. DR. W. T. JOHNSON'S FATHER BURied THURSDAY. The funeral of Mr. Henry Johnson, father of Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor of First Baptist Church, took place Thursday, 30th, at the First Baptist Church. South Richmond. Mr. Johnson had been a respected citizen of Richmond for many years and his departure is mourned by the many friends of the family. Dr. W. L. Ransome delivered the eulogy from Job, 14:14, dwelling upon the changes of life. He paid tribute to the 60 years of Christian fellowship and service of the deceased, who had been a member of 1st Baptist South Richmond for that per'od. The combined coirs of the two First Baptist Churches rendered music. Flowers in profusion and beauty of design were sent by friends of the family. The church and auxillaries of the North Side First Church paid their respects with pretty designs and resolutions which were read by Clerk B. P. Vandervall. A large representation of the ministers' conference were present. AROUND FIFTH STREET Fifth Street Baptist Church, Fifth and Jackson Streets. The Fifth Street Baptist Church corner Fifth and Jackson Streets, is progressing nicely under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris. Last Sunday the pastor preached two great sermons in his current series, which is drawing large crowds to hear him. Baptismal and communion services completed the day. The collection was $285.95. The Sabbath Glee Club will give its annual Folk Song Musical Sunday night and a crowd of white visitors is expected. All are welcome. Among our sick: Deacon T. R. Scott, Mrs. L. C. White, Mrs. Georgia Payne, Sister Elizabeth Jones. All efforts are bent towards the big $6000 drive, which ends October 10th. Watch for the coming of S. L. McCaskill, a colored singer. at the City Auditorium, October 22. Rev. W. B. Ball, chairman. Gene Tunney Dodging Harry Wills. In an interview with James P. Dawson of the New York Times, Gene Tunney is quoted as follows: "Will you meet Dempsey if he wants another match?" Tunney was asked. "I will meet Jack Dempsey any time he says the word." replied Tunney. "How about Harry Wills?" was the next query. "I will meet Jack Dempsey any time he says the word," he replied without hesitation. This confirms a previously expressed opinion that Gene Tunney will not come out and say that he will not fight any heavyweight champion in the world, Harry Wills not excepted, but his evident 'intention is to evade such a fistic contest. Certain it is that the tantalizing issue has been transferred from the shoulders of the worried Dempsey to those of the new alleged champion of the world, Gene Tunney of New York. Paddy Mull'n's, Harry Wills' manager will take charge of this phase of the situation. REV. AUGUSTUS COLES. Pastor Gospel Baptist Church, 7th and Hospital Streets was organized by Rev. K. D.

SATURDAY...OCTOBER 2, 1926 People, who pay their debts are enabling other people to pay their debts also. Some people join church in order to divert suspicion from their unlawful vocation. You cannot serve God and Mammon, but you can drink whiskey and advocate absolute prohibition in this day and time. Prayer is all right, but you must have action linked up with it as a companion. Without this precaution all prayers are in vain. Preaching is as much a profession now as practicing medicine. The average congregation does not seem to know it and they are slow in raising enough money to employ these kind of "newday" leaders. We thank our friends, who have been remembering us and sending us aid. There is an abundance of money in the country, but some people, who have it are holding it tightly. Rev. L. K. Williams, D.D., of Chicago is a central figure in the Baptist realm so far as it relates to colored folks. His desire to retire from the presidency of the National Baptist Convention at its recent session at Fort Worth Texas was evidently sincere. His great work in Chicago is enough to employ all of his time and the National Baptist Convention has not reached that point of financial endeavor, where it is anxious and willing to pay enough to secure the entire time and service of a pulpit divine of Dr. William's ability and calibre. To have lost him would have been a calamity to the cause although there are others of great ability, who are ready and willing to undertake the task and to discharge the duties of the office. The Baptists are favored in being able to retain this distinguished divine as President and with his health holding out, we bespeak for this great Baptist organization a success beyond the fondest dreams of its most devoted enthusiasts. THE CHAMPIONSHIP CONTEST The result of the championship contest at Philadelphia last week has caused no end of discussions. While the result of the contest has met with the approval of practically everybody, including the white and colored folks, the backers of Jack Dempsey excepted, it has occasioned much comment. Never before has a contest of this kind been decided save by the knockout route. For this reason the title of Gene Tunney, to many people's idea of thinking, is clouded. They openly claim that the fact that Jack Dempsey was accorded but one sound, upon a most favorable basis is convincing proof that he "laid down" and permitted Gene Tunnev to win the title. In this connection, it is a significant fact that Gene Tunnev has already decided to dodge the only contestant, who is admittedly the leading character in a future bout for the championship. The New York Times publishes the following: "Rickard disclosed plans yesterday for a series of heavyweight shows, which he intends to stage in the Garden throughout the Winter with the hope of bringing forth a real challenger for the championship next Summer. Only one fighter is barred from these eliminations. He is Harry Willis. "Rickard is still set against promoting any match involving the Ne- gro. Rickard said that he was confident that out of the crop of new heavyweights coming to the front he would surely bring to light a challenger worthy of meeting Tunney for the title. "Rickard, of course, is still ready to give Dempsey the first call if the former champion finally decides that he wants a return match, but as for Wills, the Negro seems to be as far removed from a chance at the title as ever. Rickard, with Tunney already signed up to fight for him, remains unmoved in his stand against promoting a championship p fight for Wills, while Gibson, too, reiterated his belief yesterday that Will should not be given a chance. "We tried hard enough to get Wills before Tunney won the t title," said Gibson, "but he turned us down every time. Now I see no reason why we should bother him." By what right can Tex Rickard bar any logical contestant? He can refuse to promote the bout, but if Gene Tunney uses the same language it will logically bar him from the championship. The meaning of the "World's Championship" is that he is the superior of any fighting man in the world, regardless of race, color or religion. Should he bar a man on account of his race, he becomes the champion so far as it relates to white men and this necessarily bars him from the claim of the heavyweight champion of the world. We are of the opinion that Gene Tunney will not continue long in the position given to him by Jack Dempsey. He must fight Tom Gibbons again. Dempsey is out of it. The aim is to prolong the contest until Harry Wills has passed the age limit. Be that as it may, it is a white man's contest anyway. Paddy Mullins, Wills' manager has no interest in Harry Wills further than in his ability to beat the best man in the fistic arena, regardless of color. He has money tied up in the proposition and he will chase Rickard now just as he has chased Jack Dempsey and his manager. Gene Tunney is a resident of New York. The New York License Committee is backing Harry Wills. The New York Boxing Commission has recognized his right as a logical contender for the championship title. These bodies will settle the question as to whether Harry Wills can be barred on account of the antipathy of Tex Rickard and his refusal to stage a contest between Wills and the present champion, who won on points and not by the "knock-out route." As for the colored folks, they are not particularly interested in the struggle. It is a white man's fight with a colored man as the central figure.

Carey Truehart, prominent Democrat, boxing promoter, cafe proprietor, and fraternal man of this city, was arrested last week in connection with the murder of Fred DeMario, alleged member of a Philadelphia gun gang, according to the Philadelphia Public Journal. Truehart was charged with assault upon the body and intent to kill DeMario, and was almost immediately released by Magistrate Paxson on $25.000 bail. DeMario was shot to death in the Little Egg Harbor cafe last Friday. The political leader was taken into custody by City Detectives Casey and Eckstein, and Kaskel, of the prosecutor's office. After being briefly questioned, he was booked at the police station, and following a conference between Prosecutor Repetto and Magistrate Paxson he was released on bail. Since the murder ten persons have been rounded up by the police as material witnesses. A number of the alleged eye witnesses declared that the actual murderer would not be arrested because of politics. Katherine La Sage, a cabaret hostess; Lawrence Fooks, 210 N.

During this trip of five weeks we visited rest homes for workers, hospitals, colleges, experiment stations, electrical plants, factories, art galleries, museums, villages, theatres, children's colonies, a prison and other interesting places. With the aid of our translator we were able to learn much concerning the Soviet system and the new developments in the Union. Besides we met quite a number of students and a few workers who could speak English, German and French. We returned to Moscow Sunday, 15th of August. During our stay in Moscow we had Mr. Durantz, Moscow correspondent of the New York Times; Reswich, A. P. Correspondent; Anna Louise Strong, social worker; four colored students from the Communist University of Moscow and others to tea. Much was got from these people relative to the problems and conditions in the Soviet Union. On Saturday, 21st August, five of our delegation left Moscow for Leningrad. Arriving at Leningrad the next day we were carried to the Trade Union Quarters, where we remained during our stay in the old Russian capital. While in Leningrad we visited St Issaic's Cathedral a magnificent building. We went through the Czar's Winter Palace, and visited two of the royal palaces outside of Leningrad. On August 25 I left Leningrad arriving at London on September 1. This is hardly a sketch of our trip. It's impossible to cover it fully in a single newspaper article. Before concluding, however, that from the standpoint of race prejudice, our group was certainly above the average. This does not mean that all traces of it were absent. But even the girl from Virginia, Miss Flemente Pierce, was an exceedingly kindly and congenial person. ARREST OF NEGRO LABOR LEAD WILL BE PROTESTED. The arrest of Richard B.

We wandered about the city visiting several places of interest among which were two churches over 200 years old. We arrived at Libau 30 June. We went from Libau to Riga, the capital of Latvia by train arriving there 1 July. At Riga we got in touch with the Russian Consul who gave us a royal welcome. Three automobiles were put at our disposal, and accompanied by the Consul and his co-workers we were driven through the city and through the most beautiful sections of the suburbs. On our return we were given a farewell dinner before departing for Moscow. The trip from Riga to Moscow takes around 25 hours. We arrived there Saturday 3 July. A group of Russian students, some of whom spoke a little English, met us at the station with automobiles and accompanied us to our hotel. We were most cordially received by the representatives of the Russian Students National Organization and everything possible was done for our convenence and comfort. After a week's stay in Moscow visiting schools, art galleries, museums, hospitals, the Kremlin, Lenin Mosleum, theatres, factories and other places of interest, we left for our trip through South Russia'a. This trip carried us through the Caucasus, the Black Sea, the Crimea and the Ukraine, the oldest agricultural part of the Soviet Union. We visited Tiflis, the capital of Georgia in the tropical zone. We stopped at Yalta, a beautiful summer resort on the Black Sea. We went through the Czar's summer palace on the Black Sea.

A sympathetic editorial writer bewails the fact that Jack Dempsey, will get 14,000 times what Milton got for writing "Paradise Lost" On the other hand, Milton probably would rather write "Paradise Lost" for $70 than beat Tunney for $1,000,000. Abraham Lincoln would rather have written his Gettysburg speech for nothing than beat Tunney and Dempsey both. Some things to some men are more important even than cash. The outside world resents United States domination of moving pictures. Those pictures are marvelous salesmen, selling in all lands American clothing, automobiles, furniture, lamps, and especially the American idea of comfortable living. Six of the Indian princes that share with the British taxation of their subjects offer $5,000,000 to help British films displace American films As Mr. Mellon said when somebody offered him $70,000,000 cash for his oil company: "That isn't enough." You can't make moving pictures with dollars only, any more than you can sing high C with dollars. You must know how. It is said automobiles keep half the voters away from the polls, and "absentee balloting" is suggested. Now She Goes Everywhere! Her Hair is Long and Beautiful Also, "Golf keeps men away from the church." The remedy is to make politics as interesting as modeling, religion as interesting as golf. With Henry Ward Bleecher in a big church, or Billy Sunday in a revival tent, the caddies, not the clergymen, would complain. Philosophers from many countries gathered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, tell the world, "Materialistic theories cannot explain the marvels of the living world." Materialism cannot explain anything for the reason, among others, that there is no such thing as matter. Reduce solid steel or floating feather to the so-called ultimate atom. Examine the atom and you find a small solar system like our own, the nucleus for sun, little electrons flying around it for planets. Matter is only particles of electric energy. And no one knows what that is. A scientist said, "I have swept the heavens with my telescope, and find no trace of God." A dissector of the human body said, "I have gone all through the human brain, and find no trace of thought, soul or mind." Nevertheless, thought, soul and mind do exist in that little universe we call the brain. A greater mind exists SOMEWHERE in that greater brain, THE UNIVERSE. Senator Caraway, of Arkansas, wants the United States to dig up and bring to America the bodies of 30,000 American soldiers buried on French soil. He says Europeans hate us so intensely that he saw insulting lines scribbled on the white crosses above the graves of our soldiers. The dead soldiers would say, "It was the biggest kind of jone when we were taken from our homes, shipped across the sea to die in a war not our own, and to lie here dead, killed in the quarrels of European high finance and royalty. "One more joke, that of hatred, can't make any difference. Let us lie in peace." What man WANTS to do, he can do. A little while ago the noble bison was dying out, everybody had said farewell to him. Now the Government, with herds of bison on its hands, offered a vigorous bison bison for $85, that you couldn't have bought for $5,000 a little while ago. Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. LITTLE EMERGENCIES. ... It is not unusual for small boys who go fishing, to get a fish-hook imbedded in some part of the boy instead of the fish; due to careless handling of the fishing-tackle. Crochet hooks are unpleasant guests when deeply seated. I recently attended a lady who sat down in a porch swing that held a bundle of tatting, the crochet hook was driven more than an inch into her hip. A man, who was rummaging on a closet shelf above the level of his eyes, encountered an old crochet hook which penetrated the palmar surface of his thumb. He fainted promptly and a rush call came in anticipation of a deep incision to remove the offender. Every family should have a medicine kit, which includes a safe, reliable antiseptic. In the event of wounds like the above, anyone can, by manipulation, push the point of the offender out through the skin; in case of a hook or barbed instrument, the barb can then be cut or broken off, and the extraction easily made in two minutes; the wound should then be thoroughly soaked with the antiseptic, and a light dressing applied. Forcing a fish-hook out through the skin does not add to the pain already there. The crochet hook is best removed in the same manner—the hook cut off with wire cutters. Never try to pull a barbed instrument out the way it went. In this advice may save considerable expense and trouble, and is worth remembering when you live away from the doctor. Next Week:— "BALD HEADS." 26 NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING FOR MAKING HARSH STUBBORN HAIR SOFT GLOSSY LUXURIOUS PRICE 25.95 NET WEIGHT 4 SQUARES ON'S SSING THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Too Much Efficiency By E.J. W.J. Watt and Co. BEGIN HERE TODAY JOE W. BROOKE, widower and best friend, is leaving town for two months. He has arranged to, take charge of his household during his absence. But he fails to inform his three grown children, Billy and Alice, of his plans. H. HEDGE, assigned to the location charge of the Brooke mansion, owner's quarters and turns the library into an office. The "chil- lery out" have concluded to settle Hedge for their monthly allow-ance is nominated as apo-semant for Hedge, who wants to know whether it is expected that these gratuities be continued. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ALICE stifled an angry exclamation, fushed, and then nodded. She could not stack her pride against a hundred dollars a month, particularly when she was "flat". Hedge made some more figures. "I will continue these gratuities," he said, abruptly. "Allowances, please!" reminded Alice. "Allowances, if you prefer it. One word is as short as the other. I shall, however, reduce them." Constance rose out of her chair as if impelled by some unseen force. She wheeled and glared across the room. Billy stopped in his tracks. "All allowances will be reduced fifty per cent." announced Hedge, "until further investigation." There was a mobilization of Erookes on the opposite side of the table. Alice was thankful for the arrival of her reserves. "You are to cut—our allowances—in half?" she asked slowly. "In half-payable daily," said the efficiency man. "Daily?" "Daily." Alice was frightened. She felt the reassuring hand of Constance on her shoulder and looked up at her appealingly. "You make the rest, Connie," she murmured. "I find," said Hedge as he continued to make rapid figures, "that your father has been paying two of you at the rate of approximately $6.66 a day, including Sundays and holidays, and the other at the rate of about $3.33 a day. Out of this what do you spend?" "All," said Billy, "What did you expect?" "What for?" "Why, anything we want, of course!" "Clothing—shoes—light or heat?" queried Hedge briskly. "Most certainly not!" exclaimed Constance Frigidly. "Do you mean to tell me, Miss Brooke, that you, for example, do not at least purchase your clothing out of the sum of $2400 a year?" She laughed, but, it was mirthless. She glanced at hr'd dress, and contended to laugh. "If you understood anything about gowns, you would not ask such question," she said. "Of course, I do not use my allowance for any such purpose. It is wholly for personal expenses, as I see fit to use it." "Clothes are personal, are they not?" "Personal—perhaps," she admitted coldly. "But they are on father." "And is this also true of you?" demanded Hedge, glancing sharply at Billy. "And then some," declared Billy. "Why, I don't even buy gasoline out of mind?" "Well," observed Hedge judicially, "if one of you employ your allowances in the purchase of food, clothing, or the necessities of life, which are otherwise provided by your father, I see no legitimate reason for any allowances at all." There was a chorus of cries from the three Brookes. NORMA DOUGLAS, 5, as healthy and active as any rosy-cheeked and active as any rosy-cheeked Oklahoma farm girl, got a minority slow start in life, but you would never know it to look at her now. Five years ago Norma was heralded over the nation as one of the tiniest babies ever born. She was just a mite of human flesh, weighing 24 ounces at birth with a cotton wrapping around her. She measured just nine inches long. She was so tiny that the ring on an average woman's finger would slip over her entire hand and elbow up to her shoulder. Could she live? There was not a chance in the world, everyone said. The doctor who delivered the baby told the father and mother that there was not a chance. Charmed Life? But if there is such a thing as predestination, Little Norma bears a charmed life. The baby was born in the farm house of the Douglases near four days and four nights after birth the baby was in bedroom at the insufficient heat of 100 degrees for the baby's sake. And the baby lived and grew very 'slowly. In six months it weighed six pounds, still two pounds under a normal baby should weigh at birth. Then one day the proud father "Nevertheless," he continued. "I am not disposed to be harsh; merely just. I am not here to tear down or destroy, simply to reorganize and regulate. While I feel that even a reduction of fifty per cent in your allowances does not fully meet this extraordinary situation. I shall not press the matter further at this time. Miss Brooke and Mr. Brooke, you will hereafter receive $3.33 per day each. Alice, you will be paid $1.66. All payments will be made daily, at eight thirty o'clock in the morning in this office, and vouchers will be duly signed by each person receiving the same." Constance was turned into a story image. Alice was trembling, with a tell-tale quiver of her lips. Billy stormed. "We won't stand for it!" he cried, shaking his fist across this desk. R.J.SCHWARZ. "He talks as if we were panhandlers." Whereupon the efficiency man asked a famous question: "What are you going to do about it?" "Fight!" "Very good. How?" "Why—why, simply refuse to put up with it." "You mean rather than accept less than two, hundred dollars a month you will take nothing? Is that it?" Billy hesitated and felt Constance pulling at his sleeve. "Because," added Hedge, "if that is the case, I shall be greatly gratified. I really cannot see why you children need any money at all, living as you do and being fully provided for. If you refuse to accept a reduced gratitude it will mean, of course, that I shall save a hundred, instead of fifty per cent, on this item of household waste. I should be glad to make such a saving. Are you with me against me?" "Against me?" "It was the shrill and quivering voice of Alice that cried out. The efficiency man signed." "Very well," he said. "All allowances are reduced by one-half, to go into effect without further notice." Constance rallied for it. "We accept this humiliation," she said bitterly, "because, until our father returns, we can do nothing else. We are heless. You have insulted us by calling it a gratuity." 1 took the baby outdoors. It contracted a severe case of pneumonia, and it looked as if Norma's time had come. She was in a wheelchair. She didn't even go to the house. She didn't even go to the house. We are not beggars—but we are again helpless. But we do demand that our allowances, or such part of them as you see fit to pay, shall be given to us in the regular manner, in a lump sum monthly." "A month in advance?" said the efficiency man, elevating his eyebrows. "Why? You do spend it all the first day?" "Of course not. But that does not alter our right to receive it all at once." "Too much temptation," said Hedge, shaking his head. "Besides, it's not economic. Perhaps you do not know it, but many banks pay interest on daily balances. This is the case with the bank in which your father left an account for this household. That account is under my sole charge. By paying the three cents a month in advance an appreciable sum will not be lost. By paying; you $8.32 per day, the remainder of a considerable sum, reduced, of course, by daily drafts, remains at interest. That is the policy that I shall follow. You will be paid in checks, each morning." "This," said Constance, stonily, "is the crowning outrage." "I'm sorry you look at it that way, Miss Brooke. It is simply good business. However, I'm willing to put it this way, if you object to a daily check—I will make weekly payments, at the end, however, rather than the beginning of the week. If you accept this arrangement, the first payment will be made a week from today." Constance wavered. She had $2.79 left. Perhaps for a week she could stand it. But Billy and Alice were to be thought of. They were destitute. No; the pride of the Brooke family would have to grovel before this creature. It was the daily wage, or bankruptcy. "We wish to talk it over," she said. "Certainly," assented Hedge. Constance led the way across the hall, through the big reception room and into a far corner of the musicroom, where they were safe from prying ears. It was Billy who spoke first. "You made a fine mess of it, Alice!" he exclaimed. "Alice did her best," declared Constance defensively. "Would you have done any better?" "Well, why couldn't she have given him the idea we earned this money, or something like that?" "Earn it!" jeered Alice. "A lot we do to earn it, and you know it." "I talk as if we were panhandlers." growled Billy. "It—I was like standing on a bread line, groaned Alice. "Come," interrupted Constance. "We've got to decide. It's half, or nothing." "I won't take half!" stormed her brother. "Do you want nothing, then? You know very well none of us ever had a bank account. We never even thought of asking for one, when father was here. Now, listen; you'd better take this fifty per cent offer, because, if you don't, Billy, you won't have a cent to your name." There was an inarticulate rumbling in his throat. "And you'll be in the same fix Alice, all of us," continued Constance. "We can't go around like beggars; you know it. For my part, I'm going to take mine." "Can't we borrow the rest somewhere?" Billy! "The proposal shocked Constance, because it assailed her Brooke pride. "Now us will ever borrow, if I can help it." she said stoltly. Then, after a pause, "Well, now that we've accepted half, shall we take it by the day or the week?" "Let's go back and fight for it by the month in advance," said Billy. Constance shook her head. "It would do no good," she said. "Don't you see how she got us? He has all the money and we've only got $2.79 between us—and that's all mine. And I can see he is not going to change his mind. He has yet, on anything. For my part, I can stand it by the week. But I'm thinking of you and Alice." tal. In two weeks she fought her way to recovery. When she was 18 months old and weighed 18 pounds, death again attacked her from three different sides. She had pneumonia, whooping cough and masthes all at once. It looked pretty bad, especially for a child so tiny as Norma. But Fate apparently is saving Norma for something. After a hard fight in the pine-board farm house, she shook off her illness in three weeks. Pronounced Perfect Then she began to gain rapidly. At the age of two she was examined by the state nurse, who pronounced her the most perfect baby she had ever examined in the state. Now Norma is five, weighs over 31 pounds, is perfectly shaped, normal and healthy in every way. Since 18 she old, she has never had a single day of sickness, her parents say "And you should see her eat," her father explained. "We can cook a two-pound chicken and Norma will eat half of it at one meal. I bought her four big sandwiches in a row at the restaurant." The Douglas family lives at Choctaw, a village 16 miles from Oklahoma City. --- Jungle Green and Jabot AUTOCASTER Jungle Green is the color and satin the favorite fabric of fashion lane this Fall.

Southward the Course of Empire takes its way. As the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome reached their climax on the balmy Mediterranean, so today wealthy America is building a new seat of civilization in the South. On the East Coast of Florida, the new American Rivera, millions are being applauded to provide a pounding population. Outstanding is the sixty million dollar program of construction and expansion of facilities undertaken by the Florida East Coast Railway. The immense program includes the double tracking of the main line between Jacksonville and Miami, now completed. The Florida East Coast Railway receives at Jacksonville trains and Pullmans bound for the resorts and cities along its 500 mile expanse—St. Augustine, Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, New Smyrna, Ft. Pierce, Stuart, Palm Beach and West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miami and Key West. There is a new East Coast system today, a railway unlimited capacity, modern in every detail of the infrastructure, fully prepared in all departments of maintenance and operation to provide the highest type of transportation service. New Automatic Signals. New Automatic Signals. Over 350 miles of new second main line track have been placed in operation. This has been built in accordance with the most modern standards with heavier rails, preoseted ties, heavy tie plates, rail fastenings and rock ballast. The entire double track main line will in a few weeks be equipped with an up to date system of colored light automatic block signals, the last word in efficient railway traffic control. These not only incalculably increase safety of operation, but also the total capacity of the road and make possible a high average of on-time performance, according to an official report by H. N. Rodenbeugh, vice-pres. and gen. mgr. New Shop Facilities. The new Miller Repair Shops, now nearing completion on the Northern boundary of St. Augustine, are among the largest of their kind in the entire South, incorporating facilities for the complete repair of all classes of railway equipment. They occupy a tract almost two miles long and one-third of a mile wide. The huge locomotive repair and blacksmith shop, covering five acres, will, for example, be equipped with nits for the accommodation of 18 giant oil-burning locomotives at one time. The special stores building is 496 x 92 feet. The main coach repair and point shop. 384 by 286 feet. Other buildings are on similar scale. Other new repair shops have been established at divisional and main terminals. New Freight Terminals. Immense freight terminal yards have been built at Bowden (South Jacksonville), increasing terminal capacity 300 per cent and Hiachtah (Miami), with capacity for 3,200 freight cars. A belt line has been around Miami. The capacity of the freight terminal at Smyrna, Port Pierce, and West Palm Beach has likewe've been materially increased.

When the Dominion Express Co., which recently became the Canadian Pacific Express Co., was started 14 years ago. Indians and wild buffalo still roamed the almost boundless expanses of Western Canada, now the thriving and well-populated provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. This old company with a new name was established in 1882 by Sir William Van Horne, far-sighted president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and operated from Rat Portage (now Kenora, Ontario) to Oak Lake, Manitoba, with its mind of Upper photo shows Jackie Ott, famous boy swimmer, and his father and mother, M. and Mrs. Alexander Ott, of Miami, Florida. Jackie says he will swim the English Channel some day. He is a normal, wholesome, happy boy, and having received a good heritage of brain and brawn, from his parents, both of whom are devotees of the open air and physical culture, he has built up a splendid physique by following their instructions. Jackie lives in the sunshine. There is never a day in the year that he does physical activity. Jackie is able to climb a sixty foot rope overhand. He can dive with arms and feet shackled from a height of twenty feet and free himself of his bonds while under the water. He has stock on a surf board while it was being towed behind an aquaplane going forty miles an hour. He is a marvelous diver and dives from great heights either backward or forward. The lower photo shows Jackie Masse, president of, the Florida Masse, president of, the Florida face in Winnipeg, it had only six employees, one horse and a second-hand wagon. Now it has an army of employees and up to the minute equipment and its activities not only cover Canada but a large area of the entire civilized world. The dynamic Van Horne, who built the Canadian Pacific, was a native of the United States, as was Lord Shaughnessy, whom he discovered in Milwaukee, and who succeeded him as president. Van Horne also secured the services as superintendent of the infant Dominion Express of a young but thoroughly experienced expressman named W. S. Stout, also a native of the United States. Stout became the company's president and after 44 years is president of the Canadian Pacific Express Co. In the early days he devoted much time to finding customers and markets for butter, eggs, fish, fruit, but nowadays his company handles trainloads of shipments of silver and able property, royal king of England, ponish thoroughbred cattle of Wales, and animal for zoos and individuals During the dark Great War when 25 p company's employees fight, billions of doll gold and securities w President Stout's con the Atlantic and Pac purchases and kee machines working.

Channel Some Day for the stabilization of hotel rates during the coming winter season in Florida from November 1st to May 1st. This rescu'ation decided for the publication of maximum, medium and minimum rates. This, says Mr. Mase is a tremendously important step for the many who visit Florida for it means that the hotels will publish their rates and stick to them. He has just completed a trip through twenty states and found that the hotel rates were generally higher than those of Florida. "This will bring lots of people to Florida" said Mr. Mase. "And I do my best, too," says Jackie. "If they come they can see me diving like an old man with a hum leg." Jackie's father started to give him gentle physical exercises by moving his legs and arms slowly up and down when he was only three weeks old. He started to learn to swim when only ten months, and when eighteen months old could swim rapidly across a swimming pool. Jackie's parents make a pal to him. They do not order him to do things, only he should do them. This permits him to use his own judgment and develops a spirit of self-reliance. He is not permitted to over exert and goes to bed early sleeping eleven hours every night. BEVm "Within Prison Walls." Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man.

(Editor's Note: "Within Prison Wall's in this issue was written by a young colored man, of good family and training, who for obvious reasons is withholding his real identity and who due to his ability, served (during a course of ten years) in his positions (as an inmate) one of which has never been filled by any other inmate of any race. During this series he will dwell intimately on certain phases of prison life that are rarely, if ever, disclosed to the public.) (Continued from last week.) GUARD BLUNDERED In the guard's excitement however he merely closed the lever on the gate without locking same and soon it was discovered that the gate was locked and the murderers followed him in catching him between two cots which due to crowded conditions were sitting through-out the corridors. Here the Warden virtually pleaded for his life and at the same time calling upon his officers for assistance but none came and neither were his pleas heeded for the attackers jumped on him and cut his face, lungs and chest literally into ribbons. The Warden managed to make one last desperate run and just managed to reach the deputy's office, rush in, close the door behind him and fall against it ith the dead weight of his body holding same tight. A DESPERATE THROW Bob and his cohorts dashing after him but unable to open the door pieced up an iron cuspidor and threw it through the glass panel barely missing the Warden's scalp by a hair's breadth, thus for a moment saving his life. This all happened so quickly that it was just at this juncture that word of the slangther reached the outside guards and Officer Nuch came rushing to the guard room with a shotgun just as Bob had pitched the iron cuspidor through the glass door and before he had gone further and with leveled gun the officer threatened with immediate death any one cross my line between him and the deputy's door. Proterted with such threats Sam Ford, a trusty who had charge of the offcers' dining room in the guard-room rushed in, picked up the Warden and carried him to his residence in front. For this act Ford later received a pardon. PERCHED AT BOTTOM The writer was still perched on the bottom of the stairs not daring to move to the right or left and experienced a very close call to death for the one on my right who had more spirit of bravado than good judgment kept taunting the officer with the gun and admonishing him with dire threats, daring him to shoot, etc., and each time he leveled his gun our way I felt it was my last moment. However after the warden had been carried out of the building the crowd subdued and we were permitted to go our way. I rushed to my cell in which sanctuary I felt a solace could be found. I played a few tunes on my victrola for that was all with which I could soothe my unstrung nerves for unstrung they certainly were. WANTED TO BURN PRISON Up to this point Perry, the most hardened of the attackers did not realize that a jail delivery was not in progress or that it was not yet possible. They all rushed into the west cell-block and as is customary with a crowd when one suggests something they all follow the lead, some one suggested burning the building down and kerosene cans were quickly gathered together, thrown on the wooden partitions separating our cell-block from a new one then in progress of construction and set afire. It was not long before the block was filled with smoke and it became so rot that the glass panes began to crack. To escape suffocation for all was impossible and to gain freedom even more remote. We were trapped like mice in a trap. Several, including myself, appealed to Perry and convinced him that escape was impossible with the result that leader as he was he ordered the fire put out and as eagerly the followers set about to obey his commands. If it had not been for the saneness of this act no doubt a different history would have been written of that fatal 11th day of December, 1921. GUARDS FRIGHTENED The guards were frightened beyond description and made no attempt to quell the disorder with the result that riot and madness predominated the entire afternoon. The state police, some miles away, were summoned but it was night before they arrived. Those who signified a willingness to be locked in their cells were so locked, otherwise they were permitted to roam around the cell block at will I chose to be locked in. Perry coaxed and cailed the writer to come out and play him a game of checkers for as he expressed it when the state police would arive he would be forever burial not even putting it past them to give him the "black bottle." Perry was a keeu student of checkers as was the writer but as much as I would have enjoyed such a match I was too tim id to venture from my cell on that day and there I remained. THE DEPUTY WARDEN'S FATE Early the next morning word trickled in that the deputy warden had died during the night and that his son had been taken down town to a hospital where his death was expected momentarily. There are some who never respect even death and to this news there were loud shouts of gusto and approval while those with a little remaining conscience were sad and mournful as was the writer. The entire prisoners were locked in their cells for the day but the writer, a front office employee, was permitted to attend my duties as usual. The front office was a despairing sight. On the one side with death in the deputy's quarters and 'near-death in the Warden's the prison certainly hore a desolate appearance. On the day of the deputy's funeral the Warden was rushed down-town to a hospital as it was felt he couldn't live longer. However, he was made of firmer stuff and he lingered for about five weeks before finally departing. The day he was buried and Mrs. Catlin began preparations to leave I felt as though I had lost my best friend, for friends they certainly had been PRISON UPSET The prison was entirely upset, no attempt to maintain order was being made The state police stepped in and took charge of affairs and a policy of tolerance was instilled. Tunney, The Champion. The victory of Gene Tunney over Jack Dempsey in the contest for the heavyweight championship of the world has been apparently received with favor by the entire sporting world, regardless of race or color, politics or religion. Harry Wills, the great heavyweight pugilist sat at the ringside with mingled emotions and saw Gene Tunney do what he had spent many anxious months in hoping to do. Now there is a new setting in the picture. Tunney cannot feel satisfied with the crown he has won until he has removed from his path to recognized pugilistic superiority, the one dark shadow upon his title. Wills has already challenged Gene Tunney. He, through his manager, Paddy Mullins did so before the two fighters had entered the ring. There is no other recognized contender for the title but Harry Wills and Tunney cannot refuse to meet him. Can Harry Wills defeat Gene Tunney? The reported statement of William Muldoon of the New York Commission that one of his reasons for opposing the contest between Dempsey and Wills was because Dempsey was not in a condition to meet a fighter of Wills' pugilistic ability and caliber seems to be borne out by the poor showing he made in Philadelphia, September 23, 1926, when at the end of ten rounds in a fight with Tunney, he was practically helpless. Ringside, Sesquicentennial Stadium, Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 23—Gene Tunney, the fighting marine, is the new heavyweight champion of the world. He dethroned Jack Dempsey, king for the last seven years, tonight by smashing his way to decisive victory in a ten-round match that went the limit and furnished one of the greatest upsets in boxing history. Dempsey, only a shell of his old fighting self, was outboxed and outfought from start to finish, in a one-sided battle that was decided in a driving rain before a record crowd of 132,000 spectators. Tunney won sight of the ten rounds by a margin so decisive that no doubt was left of his supremacy, the Associated Press score sheet showed. None of the rounds was scored for the champion and only in the sixth and seventh was he conceded an even break. In both of these it was more a case of Tunney's cautiousness than Dempsey's own attack that affected the scoring. Dempsey entered the ring a 4 to 1 favorite, backed as heavily as any champion in history. Experts had proclaimed him fit, in spite of his three year lay-off, but except for a gallant stand and a few flashes of his old self, he was outclassed. Dempsey was far from the furious fighter, the "Tiger Man," who smashed his way to sensational victories over Jess Willard, Georges Carpenter and Louis Firpo. Gone was the devastating punch, the furious aggressiveness that marked him as one of the most feared men in the ring. The champion's downfall, in the disappointment of his showing, was reminiscent of the defeat of James J. Jeffries by Jack Johnson, in the first heavyweight battle Tex Rickard ever promoted, in 1910. Dempsey, like Jeffries, went into the ring a big favorite, only to exhibit little championship fighting qualities. Chiefly because of Dempsey's THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA THAT BABY YOUV'E LONGED FOR. Mrs. Burton Advise Women on Motherhood and Companionship.

THE TIRE GAMBLER ALWAYS LOSES By Erwin Greer (President Greer College of Automotive and Electrical Trades of Chicago, III) A peculiar thing. The worst tire in the world can be made to look exactly like the best tire in the world. The gyp manufacturer uses the poorest grade of rubber; even reclaimed rubber vulcanized on a carcass made of rotten fabric, but to all outward appearance that tire appears as would the best tire. And the ONLY protection the tire buyer has is the name of the maker branded in the rubber of the casing. The name of the maker and serial number is the only real assurance of a quality tire. When you read a sign: "Tires at Half Standard Prices" BEWARE! Don't get the feeling that here is a chance to get a first class tire for half. It isn't done by the fellow who wants to save money. And just as surely as you do buy that cheap tire—just as surely will that tire blow out when a third of half the mileage is put on it. And then when you go back to get an adjustment you find that your dealer has "gone out of business." Now I am an expert, supposedly, but I've been gyped too—and I'm buying nothing but standard makes and paying the market price for them. A cheap tire is—just that, and the man who buys them is always sorry. Some of the reputable tire man ufacturers do put out certain quanti- ty of what are known as "sec- onds". This means a tire that is slightly defective. I once bought two casings which had been over- cured. They had been left too long in the vulcanizer—the heat had been too intense. I got about two thousand miles from one and fifteen hundred from the other. It was not bad mileage considering the price I paid for them, but I would have beaten the game—and saved two brand new tubes—had I purchased two standard tires. My advice is this: Buy a tire with the maker's name and serial number on it. Pay the top price and you will get service that will repay you for the money spent. A good tire will give a minimum of eight thousand miles. Keep a record of the tires on your machine and you will be surprised at the smallness of the item. But buy a gyp tire—and you will remember the time when Erwin Greer tried to help you save money. ENDS LIFE IN HOSPITAL BY SEVERING JUGULAR VEIN WITH RAZOR (Preston News Service.)

Name Street and Number City State Memphis, Tenn.—Ramsay Ray, correspondent for Inter-Racial News Service, was given a very gracious interview today by Madame Mamie Hightower, internationally known beauty culturer of this city. In the course of their conversation, she referred to Madame Hightower's first dress for the Gold Hightower Ointment, which she made many years ago, the personal use of her girlhood chum, Alma, now Mrs. Jefferson Jefferson. The romantic story of Madame Hightower's love and devotion for her friend Alma, who was handicapped by an impossible complexion, is only rivaled by the manner in which Alma's complexion was cleared, beautified and glorified by this now famous ointment. As far as that is concerned the same miracle is being performed daily by others in almost every country of the globe. If you are troubled with pimples and blotches, eczema, itching, your complexion is sallow and sickly you should go immediately to the druggist in your community and purchase a box of Golden Brown Beauty Ointment. Its use according to directions will clear your complexion and restore to your cheeks the bloom of youth. A box costs only 25c.

After waitin thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden: Thirteen years ago twove 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.

The following ringing words of Major General Bell, 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 cannonment. I predicted last fall that Colonal 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".
