THE RICHMOND PLANET VIRGINIA OCT 30 1926 STATE LIBRARY Virginia State Library. THE COMMUNITY FUND DRIVE NOW ON. Determined Effort to Help the Needy of the City GREAT MEETING AT GRAY'S ARMORY---REV. DR. W. T. JOHNSON CHIEF SPEAKER---A. W. HOLMES, CHAIRMAN. VOLUME XLIII, NO. 51 THE C Determ GREAT M Much interest is being aroused in the Community Fund Drive in this city. The colored people are organized under the leadership of A. W. Holmea. It was decided to place the directing arrangements in charge of a local manager and M. A. Norrell has been assigned to the task. The colored people enjoyed themselves at Grays' Armory Tuesday night, when an elaborate programme was staged. The famous Sabbath Glee Club under the superb management of Joseph Matthews was a feature. He sang a song written for the occasion, by Mrs. Alice Harris. Capital City Lodge Elks Band rendered a fine concert, which elicited much fine comment. The booths of the four colored, agencies made splen did appearances. They were: The Friends Orphan Asylum Day Nursery, Y. W. C. A and Urban League. The distinguished John Stewart Bryan, the General Chairman of the Community Fund, spoke. The elquent Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D. delivered the principal address. The campaign got fully under way yesterday. The colored people are urged to participate in this great movement. It is to help the suffering of this city, irrespective of color and it should be heartily supported. Richmond colored folks are on trial in the matter of co-operating with the white folks. Prayer and work are needed at this time. PAY DEEP TRIBUTE TO FORMER SLAVE (Special to The Times-Dispatch.) Quantico, Va., Oct. 20. The burial of "Evelina"—a former slave in the Moncure family of Somerset, Va., near Quantico—took place Sunday at 2 o'clock and was attended by a large crowd of friends of the aged woman—from Washington, D.C., Fredericksburg and Richmond. Every honor was paid to the memory of this faithful Negro woman, whose life had been spent in deepest devotion to the Moncures, of Somerset—and with whom she remained all her long life of over ninety years. When the War Between the States made of Stafford County a camp ground for both armies and all the servants at Somerset went off with Burnside's army, Evelina remained at her post of duty, and never accepted emancipation. A long procession followed her body to the graveyard—the Moncures, Lees, Daniels, Ashbys, Robinson's, Wallaces, Pikes Wallers, Elands—and others to whom kindness dated back to childhood. The funeral service of the Episcopal Church was conducted by the rector of St. George's, Fredericksburg, and the rector of Epiphany Church, Washington, and the grave of this faithful slave was covered with beautiful autumn flowers, including a handsome tribute from the Daughters of the Confederacy. DR. DU BOIS RETURNS FROM EU ROPE: WILL LECTURE ON RUSSIA Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois has returned to his office from an European trip of three months. He spent a few days in Belgium, two weeks in Germany a week in Constantinople and two weeks in Italy. The rest of the time was spent in Russia where he traveled some two thousand miles visiting Leningrad Moscow. Nijni Novgorod, Kiev and Odessa. Dr. Du Bois comes back full of enthusiasm for what the Russian people are trying to do and is going to write in the Crisis, and lecture on the subject during the coming year Mrs Addie Hayes Howell, of 113 E. 18th Street, Southside has been somewhat indisposed this week. Rev. John Henry Perry. Evangelist and Pastor, of Indianapolis, Ind. spent two days in Richmond this week, enroute to Winston-Salem, N. C. to conduct a campaign. Middlesex County Honors Inventor. L. R. Dickerson's 2d Anniversary. The Labor Saving Oyster Puncher John Mitchell, Jr., Pays Tribute. People Enthusiastic. A. B. L. DICKERSON, Nesting, Va. Nesting, Va. Oct. 1.—The second anniversary of the work of Mr. L. R. Dickerson in inventing an oyster punching machine on which he secured the patent rights was celebrated here September 30. Despite the downpour of rain a goodly number of his friends came to Shiloh Baptist Church, Middlesex County, Va., to do honor to him and his work. Mr. J. E. Green was master of ceremonies. A letter of welcome was read by Mrs. L. J. Green, to which a response was made by Mr. J. B. Johnson. President of Supreme Chamber of Middlesex. The opening address was made by Mr. J. R. Jordan secretary of the Supreme Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Mitchell's Tribute A solo was rendered by Nesting Chorus, Mr. John A. Hines, Secretary-Treasurer of the Supreme Order of St. Luke, introduced Hon. John Mitchell, Jr. of Richmond, Va., who prepared an address for the occasion. Mr. Mitchell among other things said: "Citizens of Middlesex County I am glad to have the opportunity to do honor to one of Middlesex County's most progressive citizens. You may say what you will, but thought and intellect, the will and the power to benefit mankind by thinking out and producing machinery to aid in shortening labor and increasing profit to the laborer is a God given gift. An Inventor Webster defines an inventor as one who discovers or finds out. Invention is the act of inventing or finding out as a result of purpose or forethought. A contrivance, plan or device. In line with this Robert Fulton invented the steam engine, which revolutionized travel. Lan RICHMOND VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30.1926 rence Koster and Johann Ganslesflöh of the Gutenberg family are declared one or the other of them to have invented the movable alphabet. Mr. Nicholas, editor of the Philosophical Journal is credited with having invented the fundamental machinery, upon which principle every press down to this day has been built. This was in 1730. Millions Saved in Labor The real inventor of the modern press of today was Richard Hoe of New York. It is stated that the United States leads the world in the invention and use of appliances for the tillage of the soil. The mowing and raking machines save annually the labor of the tillage men in harvest times. Among them are the sulky plow, the cutaway harrow, the empire drill, the walking cultivator, the reaper, the self binder, the hay tedder, the grappling hay, fork and hay conveyor, the hay loader, the horse power motor, and the farm engine. But in the midst of all these inventions, the oyster-shucker seems to have been forgotten. The Oyster Question Boatload after boatload of luscious oysters were dumped to be opened with the oyster knife. But a babe saw the light of day in Mid_diesex County, Va., in 1896. He knew about the trouble in shucking oysters. The work was hard and the task aggravating. Booker T. Washington was fond of telling a story of a Georgia colored man, who plowed furrow after furrow in the blistering sun. One day after wiping his brow with a red bandanna handkerchief, he said: "The sun is so hot and these furrows are so long, that I feel that I am called to preach." Dickerson felt the same way, but he had a different conception. Secured a Patent He said, "Shucking these oysters is so hard and throwing so many of them into the pan is so tiresome that I feel that I am called upon to invent a machine to handle them easier and quicker." The result was that his brainy ability was recognized by the Patent Office at Washington and a patent granted to him, preventing anyone else from marketing any other oyster shucker embracing the same principle and giving him the right of way in this great country of ours. It is accordingly with satisfaction that we do homage to his ability today. That $500 Offer Mr. Dickerson did not stop there, but he has a standing offer of $500 to any one who will improve improvements upon his invention. We have come here to praise his work, to congratulate him and his white and colored friends in this locality. Let us hope that the people of the whole State will appreciate his work and that thousands will write to him at Nesting, Va. for further information. Deacons Carter Moody, Howard Hill, and J. A. Moody had charge of the offering.

NINE JAILED; PROBE RESULT Douglas, Ga., Oct. 22.—Following the indictment yesterday of sixteen additional men wanted in connection with the lynching of Dave Wright, the only Georgia lynching this year, nine men were arrested and jailed here today to await trial along with Major Brown, who has been held since August on a charge of murder for his alleged connection with the lynching. Those who have been arrested under indictments in connection with the lynching of Wright, are: Archie R, Tanner, Willie Arnold, Almer Hester, Galenes Lastinger, John Strickland, Major Brown, Jack Hollins George Lott and Robert Bullard. Sixteen indictments have been found. Robert Bullard was arrested in Florida a few days ago. He is alleged to have given the information resulting in the indictments of the others. AROUND FIFTH STREET REVIVAL AT FIFTH ST BAPSTIST CHURCH TO BEGIN SUNDAY The Fifth St Baptist Church opens its Evangelistic Campaign Sunday, Oct. 31, and will continue two weeks. Rev Waverley Yuill 'alias Kid Nor, man,' converted convict, will conduct the preaching services and Rev. J. T. Seltz, famous revival singer, will have charge of the singing. Pastor C. S. Morris has carefully prepared the meetings and a great time is promised. A SOUTHERN PROBLEM HALF THE NEGRO CHILDREN OF SCHOOL AGE OUT OF SCHOOL ALL THE TIME Attendance in Negro schools has been studied during the last two years by a committee of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. In March 1926 The Bulletin, official organ, published a report from this committee which partially bared some of the appalling facts on this subject. The second report, published in full in the November issue of the Bulletin, throws further light on a dark situation. While there are bright spots in the report which may encourage one, the fact remains that one-half the Negro children between the ages of seven and twenty-one are out of school all the time and that many of those in school do not attend a sufficient length of time to do a good years' work. Mr. R S. Grossley the chairman of the committee making the study and report, is President of the State College for Colored Students, Dover, Del. Miss Fannie C. Williams is Principal of the Valena C. Jones School, New Orleans Louisiana. where she has established valuable precedents. Other members of the committee are: Mr. John C. Wright, Assistant Director Academic Department, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; Mr. Leo M. Favort, Field Agent, General Education Board, Baton Rouge Louisiana; Mrs. Annie W Holland, State Supervisor Elementary Education, North Carolina and Mr. F. W Wheeler, prominent educator of Texas. N A. A. C. P. TO BE REPRE SENTED IN CONGRESS OF OPPRESSED RACES William Pickens, Field Secretary, To Be In Brussels Belgium, William Pickens, Field Secretary, To Be In Brussels Belgium, New York, Oct. 22.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 69 Fifth Avenue, today announced that it would be represented at the International Conference on oppression of minority races and peoples to be held in Brussels, capital city of Belgium, the middle of January. William Pickens, who had planned a lecture trip has been authorized by the N. A. A. C. P. Board of Directors to represent the N. A. A. C. P. at this Conference. In connection with his European tour, lectures are being arranged for Mr. Pickens in England and other European countries before the conference takes place. Lectures have already been arranged in England by the Society of Friends in London. Among the internationally known people who have signified their sympathy with the Brussels Conference Plutarcho Elias Calles, President of the Republic of Mexico who has asked that his country be allowed a representative; General Chang Chi Chek. Commander-in-Chief of the forces of the National Revolutionary Army of China; Bishop William Montgomery Brown of the U. S. A.; Manuel Gomez, Secretary of the Anti-Imperialist League; Henri Barbusse the noted French novelist and writer; Professor Kon Meng You of Canton (China) National University; and Fritz Danziger of Berlin, Germany. In speaking of his plans, Mr. Pickens said: "Having been invited on several occasions by the Society of Friends in London to make a lecture trip in Great Britain, and also receiving an invitation to attend the Prussels Conference, it occurred to me that it would be a good thing for an organization like the N. A. A. C. P. to be at least a sympathetic observer and to participate in this first effort of the oppressed and dominated people of the world to confer with each other. No one can predict the proceedings of such a Conference as it is the first of its kind. But the American Negro should certainly be present at the first gathering of this kind. And the Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P. with that in mind have therefore authorized me to attend the Conference in the name of the N. A. A. C. P. during my visit in Europe." CONRACTOR C. C. BOWSER HAS opened a class in painting decorating work and designing at Van de Vever Institute, First St., between Jackson and Duval Sts, where students can now enter at reasonable rates.

Information comes to this office that serious conditions prevail now at Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg, Va. President Robert C. Woods, the popular president of the institution who is largely responsible for the progress made there and for the steady advancement of the institution to high rank in the educational and collegiate firmament recently resigned and the resignation was accepted by the Board of Trustees, Rev. Dr. W. H. R. Powell of Philadelphia, being elected in his stead. President Woods received an offer and accepted a position in Ohio. Students Protest Now the students have taken a hand in the matter and are said to threaten a revolt should, President Woods insist upon leaving the institution. To this condition is added another embarrassment. The creditors of the institution at Lynchburg threaten to deny further accommodation to the College should Dr. Woods sever his connection with the institution. President elect Powell is said to have visited the institution and looked over the situation, leaving there without further comment. Just what he will do in the premises is problematical. Rev. Dr. T. J. King, who has been most active in the work has also retired and left the State. DEATH CLAIMS PAID September 28, 1926 Va. Mr. Jno. A. Hines. Secty. Treas. Supreme Grand Council I. O. St. Luke.

JOHNSON ENDS Last Friday night marked the close of the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Exercises at the First Baptist Church, in honor of the quarter-century pastorate of Dr. W. T. Johnson. It was admirably arranged, precisely executed and gorgeously presented. The program was landmark of the efforts of this great pastor. Many telegrams and letters from men and women of note were read and the presentations to Dr. and Mrs. Johnson were beautiful. The lecture room was the scene of the banquet. And such a scene it was. The vari-colored lights shone on heavilyladen banquet tables, a room resplendent in decorations, and the cream of Richmond's Christian populace. The reamst was sumptuous and plentiful, tastily prepared and served. Richmond acknowledges the pastorate of Dr. Johnson here as one of the most definite and dynamic forces in the moral and civic advancement noted here during this first quarter of the twentieth century and the longest current pastorate in our city. Funeral Director C. P. Hayes has returned from Philadelphia where he went to bring to this city a body. While there he attended a meeting at Boydtown. He also visited the warrooms of the National Casket Co., and made purchases of expensive caskets.

VENUS AT THE BATH DOROTHY BEVARD VENUS AT THE BATH CHICAGO — American women who apply facial clay packs are simply borrowing from the beauty seekers of ancient Greece and Rome, according to J. M. Price, cosmetic manufacturer of Indianapolis, in an address here. "Patrician women in Rome 2,000 years ago were constant users of facial packs for beautifying their complexions," said Mr. Price, who is president of the Boncilla Company. "These treatments were known as 'husband packs' because THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA they were applied in the privacy of the boudoir and seen only by the husband. Archaeological excavations have established that this method of beauty culture was used at the famous baths at Baiae, a watering place near Pompeii patronized by the highest Roman society. "Hippocrates, the father of medicine' who lived in Greece 400 B. C. recorded facts in his writings concerning the virtues of facial packs. Pedanius Dioscorides, Roman physician of the first century A. D., declared that beauty clays 'made the face smooth wrinkle-free, and brilliant.' In writings of Galen, special reference is made to the cleansing properties of clay packs.

Want Willie to Become President Feed Him Right, Says Diet Expert CHICAGO—What a child eats determines what he will be as much as heredity or environment, according to Herbert C. Hooks, secretary of the Evaporated Milk Association, in an address here. "First of all, we are what our parents and distant ancestors make us," declared Mr. Hooks. Then we are what we eat and finally we are what our surroundings make us. "Some idea of the importance to one child of the food he eats may be gained from consideration of the mass of the war-born babies of Germany who, 8 to 12 years of age Good Parents now, have the minds of normal children of 4 and 5 years. Reason for the inferiority of these babies lies not so much in the fact that they did not have enough food to eat as that they did not have the right kinds of food. "Balanced diets spell health for babies. Improper diet spells disease. Mother's milk is the perfect food for infants, but in thousands of cases this natural food is inadequate or impractical because of congenital reasons.

SATURDAY...OCTOBER 30. 1926 Persons who believe in God and trust Him will not worry much or worry long. Business is the royal road to success and in many instances it is the cursed road to disaster. Many people are never satisfied unless they are playing unfair, getting that to which they are not entitled If you are faint hearted, you will have a harder time in this world than you would have were you light-hearted, and gay. If you think or care too much of either an individual or an object, you may look for trouble and more trouble. Your destiny may be preordained and whether it is or not, you just believe it and you will live much longer in this land of sorrow, tribulation and disappointment. God loveth a cheerful giver, but most people seem to think that He thinks "a heap" of a cheerful spender. As a result, they spend all they make and all that anybody can be induced to give or loan them. We are sometimes disposed that Heaven is a special place for married men and most assuredly for married women. They catch their hell on this side of the Master's vineyard. Read colored journals and pay for them. We appreciate the efforts of our friends to help us and, thank those who do not get angry, when the clerks send them a bill. One member of a family, who will work will find their efforts nullified by those, who will not work or who will spend their earnings for their own health and happiness along the lines of selfishness of the worst sort. But God holds the key to the solution of all of these difficulties. The United States money may be all right, but it goes a mighty little way, when you carry a dollar or so of it with a basket to a place where they sell the necessities of life. The Government must either carry the value of money up or it must bring the commodities, which it buys down, in order to give any kind of satisfaction. Colored men, do not look at white women down here and if you meet one of them, keep on moving away from them. This will prove to be of great benefit to your physical safety and lessen the friction between the races. White men, look the other way from the colored females. It will tend to relieve the tension and do away with this spirit of reprisal which sometimes asserts itself in some of these wild_cat members of this rising generation of colored folks. The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History has just completed its sessions at Baltimore, Md., where some of the ablest citizens of color in this country had places upon its programme. This great organization is systematically doing a great work for the colored people not only of this country, but those of the entire world. It is through its scholarly expert, Carter G. Woodson's "excavating" the facts from ancient and modern history facts which show the Negro's pe- cullarities, progress and accomplishments. There is no other organization in the world, so far as we know doing this work and the practical results of these efforts will be seen and appreciated during the coming centuries. We advise our people to communicate with this organization at 1538 Ninth St. N. W., Washington. D. C., and secure a list of the publications and purchase them in a manner prescribed in the Chautauqua system. It will prove an elevating means of enabling the rising generation to realize from whence it came and to form an accurate conception of whither it is going and the best means and methods for preparing to take the journey. We have just found time to peruse the Centennial number of the Christian Advocate issued under date of September 9, 1926, and we must concede that it is the most exhaustively magnificent chronological historical account of the progress of this wonderful religious organization we have ever read. It shows the picture of the office files of that publication dating one hundred years back, from 1826 to 1926. It reproduces a facsimile of the initial copy of that journal under date of September 9, 1826 It traces Methodism from John Wesley down to the present time. It claims a membership of 5,137,251 people with communicants in all parts of the world. Willis J. King of Gammon Theological Seminary. In a contributed article says there are twenty conferences in this country with 2,300 ministers, 360,000 members, 3,500 churches valued at fifteen million dollars. The total colored membership in white churches is a little over 600,000. Bishop I. B. Scott is a predominant figure in this publication, although we learn that Rev. R. E. Jones of New Orleans has been elevated to a similar position. This edition is filled with valuable information and shall have a prominent place in our library.

NEGRO STRIKE IS THE MAIN ISSUE OF FEDERATION MEET (Preston News Service) Chicago, Ill., Oct. 29.—The main topic of discussion at the Sunday afternoon meeting of the Federation of Labor was the strike of the colored women date stuffers. The Federation pledged its support to the women strikers and voted unanimously to give them credentials to solicit strike funds from all labor organizations affiliated. It is said that President Fitzpatrick introduced the discussion declaring that the strike has a great significance to the entire labor movement. It exposes the exploitation of Negro workers which is a menace to all workers as the bosses use their power over unorganized Negro workers to decrease all wages. He also stated that the strike opens a little corner of the terrible conditions under which Negroes must work. These factories form a cheap reservoir of cheap labor coming up fresh from the South and exloited in such manner. Conditions under which they are compelled to work are horrible he said. He declared that the conditions were such that the stuffed dates produced in that factory were unfit for human consumption. Mr Fitzpatrick said that he had appealed to the U. S. Department of Labor to investigate, and that the Maras Company, where the women were employed, refused to remedy conditions. MAN IS FREED OF ABDUCTION CHARGE BY WHITE GIRL (Preston News Service) New York City, Oct 28,—Jonn Rankin of Duquesne, Pa., who has been living here with Miss Bertha Soffer, also of Duquesne, was released from a charge accused of being a fugitive from justice Friday in Madison Rosenbluth's court. Police had held the couple until the girl's father came here from Duquesne and provided bail for the girl's release. But it is said that efforts to persuade her to turn against Rankin proved of no avail. She would not bring a serious charge against Rankin. Defying her parents, Miss Soffer took the stand in behalf of her childhood sweetheart. Following the hearing and the release of Miss Soffer the girl was taken back home to Duquesne, where she will stay until the birth of her child by Rankin. It developed during the hearing that the couple had gone to school together. Early in September she said she came to New York to visit her aunt. Suddenly she disappeared. Her father was notified and the police here were notified to locate her. The parents of the girl are said to be doing everything possible to prevent the marriage of the couple. Miss Soffer still maintains that there is nothing in the world that will keep her from marrying Mr. Rankin. "I do not care if he is a colored man. He is a gentleman and the only one I love. I will marry him and I will anyone to try to stop me from going so." Rankin has left for Duquesne and says that he is going to marry Miss Soffer.

Perry) Hollywood, Calif., Oct. 28.—(Pacific Coast News Bureau.)—Coming to Hollywood behind a barrage of front page publicity, in the dailies as Oklahoma's Millionaire Indian film producer, Jean Francis de Villard billed as a wealthy Cherokee Indian from Oklahoma, created a mild sensation in the film capital. Renting office space in the office of an attorney in the Taft building in Hollywood for a month, and paying $200 in advance on a six months rental of office space in the California Studios; the M. P. & M. P. Consolidated Motion Picture Company, chartered at $5,000,000 capitalization made its bow to the public last June by broadcasting press stories and carrying a full page ad in the Hollywood Filmograph profusely illustrated with photos of its president and his cast of star actors Does not Overlook the Negro With an eye on the potential business of America's 14,000 000 Black Americans DeVilliard had his publicity agent and studio manager C. B. Middleton send a signed statement to the Pacific Coast News Bureau as well as published in the daily press and trade papers, that a contract had been signed with Earnest Morrison "Sunshine Sammy" for the latter services as juvenile star opposite Tommy Turpin, claimed as a nephew of the famous Ben Turpin, for a series of 2 reel comedies to be produced under the name of "Messenger Boy Comedies." Similar false press statements were made to the dailies regarding having signed Alexander Sarr and other noted actors, misrepresentations which later resulted in legal action. "Variety" Exposes DeVillard In the issue of July 7, 1926 the Los Angeles representative of "Variety" exposed the activities of the DeVillard organization. The Indian producer then comes forth with a statement that he has abandoned the M. P. & M. P. Consolidated Motion Picture Corporation and organized instead the Jean Francis de Villard Production Co. Produces one Picture So far but one production has been produced by this $5,000,000 bubble "False Morals" starring Gaston Glass was finally produced with the result that on Oct. 12 Deputy State Labor Commissioner C. F. Lowy announced that a settlement had been made on the complaints against Francis Jean de Villard who produced a picture and then announced to the players that there was no money to pay off. A contract was signed between the Westwood Laboratory which developed and printed the film, and the wage claimants. The laboratory sent a man to New York with the film to sell the picture, $1,700 of the proceeds to go to the laboratory, with the remainder to be turned over to Gaston Glass as trustee for the film actors. De Villard has signed an agreement releasing any claim he had on the negative to the creditors.

Florence nature has no favorites. A hurricane sweeping over Denmark and Holland has killed eighteen and destroyed many boats. The miraculous thing is that we travel so safely on this earth. Below is intense fire, above the absolute zero of outer space. The earth rolls around, one thousand miles an hour, without disturbing the water in your glass. Around the sun we travel almost a million miles a day, and heaven knows how many miles through space WITH the sun. Earthquakes, winds, volcanoes, hurricanes, tidal waves threaten us. Yet we raise our families, deal in real estate and stocks and catamity news is rare. Let us be thankful. Gleicher Kitazawa, of Tokio, disappointed in love, tried a new way, and ate himself to death. With his hard-hearted, adored one across the table from him, he deliberately stuffed himself with rice, curry, eggs, pouring down whisky and a worse drink, sake. Soon he was unconscious and in a few hours, dead. Let us remember, for our good, that what Mr. Kitazawa did in a few hours, nine-tenths of us do in about half a normal lifetime. Too much eating or wrong eating or both will kill the great majority. From or Copeland, who is also a doctor, says "Half of what we eat I am us alive, the other half I am the doctors alive." The real menace to American cotton is not the present low price, but impending competition abroad. More dangerous than cotton at 12% cents are great nams that Britain is building to supply irrigation for more cotton fields in Egypt and elsewhere in Africa. Russia proposes to produce cotton and will do it. Cotton growers and colorer cotton pickers in America will not be able to compete with cotton grown in Africa, picked by native Africans. The solution might be found in cotton picking machinery. It should be possible to harvest a field by passing a "vacuum" clearer above the crop at certain intervals. One small air pump might take the place of a thousand cotton-picking fingers. New York's university for young women, Barnard College, intends to set aside one million dollars to increase teacher's salaries, a wise decision. Well paid, satisfied teachers, their services appreciated, are more important than new building or any sort of fine collegiate monument. Young students eager to learn, and teachers competent to teach, in any sort of building will do the work of education. Chicago's State street, heart of the city and centre of retail business, celebrates with a three day illumination festival, the spending of $100,000 on a new lighting system. State street will now be the most brightly lighted thoroughfare in the world, in addition to being the greatest retail street in the world, Fifth avenue, New York, not expected. "Give light," said Dante, "and the people will find their own way." Chicago merchants are wise in giving the most light to the street that does the most busidiness. And it is important for a great city to keep its retail district CONCENTRATED. Concentrated business makes possible concentrated advertising and means economy for merchants. It means convenience for women in their shopping. They read the store news at home, then find everything that interests them in one neighborhood. The next step, even more important, will be to increase transportation facilities for reaching State street. Transportation is to a city what circulation of the blood is to the body.

The blood is enriched by certain minerals in our food, beyond question. I mention Lime, (Calcium) Potassium, Iron and Iodine as among those of first importance These minerals abound in earth, and are taken up by plants which grow everywhere in the soil. Foodanimals get the minerals by eating the plants, and store them in the red muscles, such as our beefsteaks, hams and mutton-chops. Our animal and plant foods are richer in mineral content when they are grown on the lower levels of soil. The hills lose continually their minerals by rainfall and drainage, so that hill-grown animals and plants are poorer in mineral values. The chief value of the minerals is in the growth of bone in children, particularly the teeth. The milk of a cow grazing in the hills is much poorer food for the child than from a cow that fattens on valley food. Corn, wheat, garden vegetables are far more nutritious, if grown in bottom lands. The careless observer even, may have noticed that cattle in mountain sections of the country carry less fat than animals of the lower plains. Vegetation is more dwarfed on the sunburned, arid hill-sites. The reason is, that the minerals have been washed away from the elevations. And, haven't you noticed that the adult human being in higher altitudes is, generally wiry, with thinner muscles, as well as more "nervous" in temperament? Minerals are feeders for nerves as well as for muscles. The logical conclusion therefore is, if you are too fat, seek moderately high altitudes; if too lean, try to secure your cereals, vegetables and meats from the rich, alluvial valleys of the lower levels.

He fails to say anything about this to his three grown children, Constance, Billy and Grant, the greatest significance of all it all. tar corner of the conservatory, where she wept dismally into a tiny square of lace. It was there that Tommy Treadwell found her, and presently she was weeping against Tommy's shoulder while he tried awkwardly to soothe her. "I can never look anybody in the face again," she wailed. "I can't stand it. I'm going to run away" "Honestly, will you?" he demanded eagerly. "I'll do anything" to escape this," sobbed Constance. "Will you run away with me?" Tommy's voice was trembling and his eyes pleading as she looked up at him. "I've asked you to marry me three times already," he went on. "Won't you, Connie? Please!" Connie buried her face against his coat again and tried to think. She was fond of Tommy Treadwell, and it was true that he had asked her three times. But Constance had never taken Tommy seriously, because she did not want to. She had never let him marry anybody. She was still living her days. There would be plenty of time to marry later on. As for Tommy—well, when the time came, it might be him, or it might be somebody else. She did not love Tommy, she was quite sure; but she did like him tremendously. It was hard to think, although she wrestled with her problem heroically. A voice seemed to be crying into her ears. "Escape! Escape! It's your car, the idea of escape dominated her. And Tommy was offering the way to freedom. "Please marry me, Connie," he urged softly, "I'll be awfully good to you." She knew that. She knew Tommy Troadwell for true blue, and she knew that he would walk Broadway on his hands and knees for her, if she commanded. But she did not love him. "Escape!" urged the little voices. Tommy stroked her hair and talked pleadingly. "Marry me, Connie, and I'll take you away from it all. You just see if I don't make you happy." He talked with the fine confidence and sincerity of youth. "Answer me, Connie, dear," Will you marry me?" Constance did not answer. She did not have time. The voice of a third person intervened. "Miss Brooke will not marry you," said the efficiency man calmly. Constance sprung back with a cry, and Tommy Treadwell flushed, but stood his ground. "What have you got to say about it?" he demanded. "Everything. Kindly get your hat and coat from the butler and leave." "You mean to tell me I haven't a right to ask Connie to marry me?" right to ask Connie to marry me?" "No; I did not say that. You have the right. You have exercised it. Very good. That settles it." "But you—" "I do the answering; you do the asking," said the efficiency man blandly, "You will go now." "And suppose I don't take your answer?" "Take it or leave it--it goes." Constance's first emotion was one of utter humiliation, which was quickly succeeded by rage. She thanked a look of defiance at H. Hedge. "I will marry whom I please!" she stormed. "I will—" "You will go to your room, Miss Brooke," interrupted the efficiency man coldly. R. J. SCOH 15 marry you. "I won't. I'll—" Tommy Treadwell, with a sense of true delicacy, put an end to the scene. "You're all unstrung. Connie," he said gently, "Better get some rest. Good night." She hesitated, then buried her face in her hands and walked away slowly. As she passed Tommy, he whispered swiftly: "I'll phone tomorrow. Be ready." He did not even say good night to H. Hedge, but strode from the conservatory and a minute later left the house. As for the party, it ended, according to fixed time limit, at eleven o'clock. There were not very many left it that way, so that no extensive hardship was done. Only the efficiency man was about down-stairs when the New Year is in with a toiling of bells. "He looks rather sound and sensible," mused H. Hedge as he turned out the desk light. "But, as for marrying Constance—certainly not! I cannot permit it." Constance arose early. It was scarcely seven o'clock, but there was a strategic reason for the unusual event. Constance was going away; she was about to quit the shelter of the Brooke roof-tree for that of any 尔 other, and it was essential that the efficiency man should be unaware of the fact until it had been accomplished. Constance was going to be married. Yes, to Tommy Treadwell, of course. He was her refuge in time of men and despair. "It makes me reference a missed Constance as she loved him has hasty," that I don't love Tommy. He understands. He knows I like and admire him, and he's going to be satisfied with that. I think he's almost heroic to marry a girl that he knows doesn't love him. But I can't exist here. And I must—yes, must—find a new Bill and take Bob. Tommy has promised to both of them until father returns. I suppose it will get into the papers, but—Oh, anything is better than this!" The breakfast gong had not sounded when Constance made a final survey of herself, seized a big muff, picked up the grip, and moved briskly to the door of her room. At the threshold she paused long enough to look up and down the hall. She did not want to meet either Billy or Alice; she would telephone them after it was all over. The hall was empty of life, so Constance stepped out and headed for the rear staircase. One flight she descended rapidly, which carried her as far as the main floor, and then she began to follow me cautiously the second flight, which poorly lighted and had two sharp tumors. At the first turn she paused abruptly. She heard footsteps in the semi-glass below. Somebody was coming up the staircase. Constance peered over the balustrade and held her breath. A servant she did not mind. But it was not a servant—it was H. Hedge. Her first impulse told her to turn and run; but the time was too short and the grip too heavy. "Face it!" she told herself quickly. But she did not want to face the efficiency man with the grip, so she tried to hold the latter behind her skirts. It was an awkward maneuver. The grip hammered at her heels as she removed the staircase. Then it slipped from her fingers. An instant later it struck her in the hollow of a knee. Constance staggered swayed, and pitched forward, uttering a sharp cry. She came to a half half a dozen steps below. Tightly gripped around her waist was one arm of the efficiency man; the other was clinging desperately to the rail. Both of Constance's arms were around his neck. She could feel him struggling desperately to maintain a balance. With a gasping intake of his breath he presently achieved it. The grip shot post them, rounded a turn, and landed on the floor of the basement hall. He twisted his head to peer into her face. Their eyes were not six inches apart in the half light. "It's Constance!" he exclaimed. Never had the efficiency man called her that before. "Yes, it's it!" "You're unusually early this morning." "Possibly." H. Hedge seemed willing to prolong the conversation. "It's not elight yet," he remarked, "I know it." "Didn't you drop something?" "Of course." "I'll go down and get it for you." But he made no move. "Don't bother. I'll get it." "But I insist." "No!" He paused and considered. "It's a nice morning," he answered irrelevantly. "Why not say 'perhaps' you got the same idea compressed into one word." Constance was becoming serious. She knew that Tommy Treadwell and his blue roadster were waiting below in the court-yard. "Let me go!" she exclaimed. Up to that point she had been too bewildered to notice that there had been no change in their positions since H. Hedge interrupted her long plunge.

Whenever the West Indies are mentioned it is as if one were looking through a kaleidoscope, for figures that made the history of this great Hispaniolan region move before one's mental vision in romantic and picturesque settings, as these bits of colored glass formed beautiful and symmetrical patterns.

Here, as in the kaleidoscope, there are swift transitions, colorful scenes and quick actions, for each island differs from the other, as the shapes of each bit of glass.

For 200 years it was a Spanish possession, and in 1697 was ceded to France. The negro slaves who were introduced from Africa, defying Napoleon, obtained their independence and founded a republic in 1806. Jamaica, the largest island of the British West Indies, is without doubt one of the most fascinating ports touched on West Indies cruises, its natural scenery is wonderful; mountains rise to a height of 7423 feet, and rivers and streams break into many beautiful cascades waterfalls.

The new bridge, of steel and concrete, is in marked contrast with the wooden trestle which stood there in 1881 when Iowa had one of the worst storms in her history. On July 6 of that year the water had swollen out of its banks. It was near midnight when Kate heard the rumble of a train crossing the river bridge. Engine Tests Track On guard, because she feared the bridge might wash out, she hurried out to see the train, and found that it was an engine used to push trains up the grade from Molongona. The crew was about to back the engine across the Honey creek bridge near the river trestle and was on the look-out for bad track. The engine had passed the Shelley cottage and gone onto the bridge when, with a crash and hiss of steam it plunged through the span and dived into the whirling water below. The girl realized the danger at once. A passenger train was due soon. Her only hope lay in crossing the long bridge and reaching Mongina, more than a mile away.

"The beauty is measured by a measure of cosmetics, then the Parisiennes win the laurel, being the beauties," says Miss Hopper, who has just returned from a three months' visit to Paris. The French women are the most gorgeously bedizened creatures in the world. They look as if their make-up were laid on with a plastering trowel.

Home Girl, an Style, Says Edna EDNA WALLACE HOPPER "Too, American women are not the slaves of fashion as are Parisiennes, so they are more independent in both their dress and make up. They do not wear gowns extreme to the point of being unbecoming simply because they are the last word in style. Their make-up and gowns are both worn to suit the type rather than create a bizarre effect. Consequently, the American women are more natural looking, more reserved, and more beautiful. "However, Americans are prone to take on weight where the European woman loves a desperate effort to keep them hands slim and youthful looking. This is because nearly all American women eat too much and are too lazy to take exercise. "Every woman has a chance to become a beauty if she will exercise systematically and watch her diet carefully." utdraws Athlete "Within Prison Walls." Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man. RIGHT By An Insider Reprint and publishing rights reserved exclusively by the author. "WITHIN PRISON WALLS." (Editor's Note: "W. within Prison Walls' 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.) COMPLETELY STRIPPED Thence to the "un-dressing" room where I was completely stripped being given a one-piece jacket to don. In this "straight-jacket appearance" garment I was taken immediately to a section of the prison now reserved by the medical department as a "quarantine" section, given a bath, two or three pieces of ill-fitting garments, felt slippers and assigned to a cell in which I was to remain till the medical officials pronounced me OK to be assigned in the prison proper. In the meantime and quite contrary to the system in vogue before Governor Girobesck took hold, the doctors gave me a thorough examination with a view of detecting any physical ails, constitutional or blood as was the custom with each new arrival and any defects were forced to be treated till well. COMPLETELY ISOLATED For those unfortunately suffering with any ills this medical system filled a long felt need and from the legion beneficial results obtained the Governor should ever look upon same with much pride of achievement. Usually these examinations, awaiting results of tests, etc., covered a period of at least two weeks, and anyone remaining in quarantine during that time remained perfectly isolated not being allowed any privilege or license outside their individual cell, which however was religiously clean and were it not for the bars and with the peculiar odors the quarantine section reminded one of a hospital. After a week of quarantine life the writer was transferred to the prison proper, in one of the new modern dormitories each including ten men, with hot and cold water, shower, baths, etc. Having arrived back at Jackson the 21st of December 1923, my Christmas was spent in quarantine but at least I was out in time for New Years on which day a real celebration was held, starting with a late movie in the morning, special noon feed and program by a Detroit orchestra in the dining room, the afternoon for pleasure with the boys in the dormitory and at night a meal that the boys looked forward to but once a year, oyster stew and all you could eat. selected to do this work, remaining at same till early fall when the night binder twine plant started for the winter and I was selected as night clerk, providing I could be OK'd to work nights, for working nights, while nothing of a trusty nature still a person could cause considerable trouble at night if he should get "hide-out" or "escape" notions into his head. Fortunately I was OK'd and went to work as night clerk, a real inside "political" job with about one hour's work and a nice clean office in which to lounge around in the rest of the time. The mill at night employed less than two hundred men and the clerk's duty was merely to keep their time, mostly piece work operations, and to keep the "count" straight so that instantly at any hour of the night he could tell exactly how many men were supposed to be on each floor. This feature alone was the most important as even a mistake of one would throw the count off in the hall-office and a search would have to be instituted for the missing man. On one occasion, just to give an idea of the strict accountability enforced, a young fellow was not feeling well and just an hour or so before midnight supper he slipped off from his machine, got under a pile of sial and went to sleep. In due time the supper bell rang and the men went to the dining room where just so many plates are set. When all were seated there was still one plate without an attendant. As I had eaten at what is known as "early supper" I was in the mill when the phone rang asking me how men the phone rang asking me the men I had over there. I replied, giving the exact number that went to "early supper" which should have been the correct. In a minute or two the phone rang again, asking the second time for the count. I gave it and was instructed to go around and actually count the men as I should, have one more I counted them but could only find the actual number already given. In two or three minutes all the available night officers in the institution arrived at the mill, ready to start a search for the missing man. In the meantime the men in the dining room were locked there and couldn't get out till the missing man had been found or the mistake was correct. After about ten minutes' search the poor sick fellow was found sound asleep under a sial pule but in spite of his illness he was rushed to the "bull-pen", technically he was a hide out. Oftentimes a man being excused by the deputy, doctor or nurse after the regular sick call had been in would throw our count off and it would be necessary to do considerable checking before the mistake would be found but during the nine months or entire night season that I was clerk never was there a real hide out or any serious infraction of the rules that would warrant a hearing in this story. The night mill would close down in the extreme hot weather and so on July 2nd when all the men were laid off I looked forward to a few months of pleasure as at that time I was score keeper on the main prison ball team and manager of the Binder Twine shop team and as such was allowed considerable privileges in the use of the ball club gym, extra hours for being out of my cell on Sundays and holidays and with the closing of the night mill being allowed to go out with the big team after supper each night for practice. Incidentally the main team or first team which is composed of the pick of the best players in the prison usually has a team that beats the best amateur and semi pro teams in the state and is always conceded to be the fastest team in Jackson County or southern Michigan. Within the writer's memory the Detroit Tigers played a six six draw with the prison nine. It was for some time the writer's lot to send to the daily papers at the conclusion of each game a detailed write-up along with the official summary. However it was not to be my good fortune to spend the summer in idle luxury for the mill closed on the night of the 2nd of July and on the afternoon of the 3rd I was called to the deputy's office and told to report at the Stamp Plant to become clerk there. Thus my idleness lasted only a half day. The Stamp Plant, which was considered a model throughout America, was Michigan's plant for turning out license plates. It operated about two-thirds of the time and turned out over a million sets of plates for Michigan and several hundreds of thousands for other states. Here the clerk had considerable more to do than in the night twine mill, although employing only about one-fourth the number of men. Each machine and operation however was piece work and numerous were the records that had to be kept in recording various kinds of plates, lost, damaged and duplicates, etc., special road signs and the like. It did not take the writer long however to recognize that a little added system that the detail work that comprised most of the day could be performed in an hour or two and having secured the necessary permission to make any desired change I soon had a system by which I could attend to the entire routine in an hour or two a day and still have my work so I could leave the shop by three each day. The Stamp Plant was one of the show places of the prison and visitors and officials would come from all states to inspect the mode of operation. It was during such a pilgrimage of visitors that one day the Governor led some personal friends and high officials through the Plant and know- THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND.

To Summers Medical Co., Box 444 South Bend, Indiana ing it was against the prison unwritten rules to talk, much less stop a visitor, I took the bull by the horns and deliberately addressed him. He promised to have the Pardon Commissioner interview me at his next meeting and I felt that my breach of the rules, come what may, was rewarded. After the visitors had left the shop the officer told me that he didn't like to "run me in" but that he would have to report my infraction to the deputy to save himself and that if the deputy wanted to "chalk" me in it would be left with him. Of course I knew the consequence, had measured the chance and was willing to pay the penalty in connection therewith. Little was I surprised then when a half hour later the phone rang and the superintendent was told to bring me to the deputy's office. Arriving there I really was surprised though when instead of putting me in the "bull-pen" he designated an officer to take to the warden's office as the Governor wished, to see me there. Arriving there the Governor led me into the hall where he gave me a lecture that coming from the highest official in the state was never equalled by any lecture given by a loving father to his son. That the highest executive of the state would take the time and trouble to call me out from over two thousand men to tell me of my faults and failings was to me a signal honor and one that I promised myself I would appreciate by thereafter making good on any job assigned me Sensing my feelings he promised to take into consideration my case and see what he could do.

Thirteen years ago we've leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity I am. J. A. PAGE, 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE Mr. L. J. Hayden. 224 West Broad Street.

I have spoken to many of my friends and they say they are going to send for a treatment. I think it is a great remedy. I do not suffer with my pains as I used to and my appetite is just fine and I sleep much better every night and feel fine monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Ball, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes", the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment, and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said: "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you the men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY. More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guard ing the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowomen. As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for. THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the aroors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.
