THE RICHMOND PLANET VIRGINIA DEC 18 1926 STATE LIBRARY FIGHT $25,000 LEFT COLORED DOCTOR Dr. Darden Sued in Petersburg----The Heirs-at-Law Want Will Set Aside. Preacher's Daughter Wounded by Prohibition Officials. VOLUME XLIV, NO. 6 FIGHT Dr. Darden Preache Play Havoc $25,000. "Cocka A most interesting contest over a will is being waged in the Hustings Court of the city of Petersburg, Va. by the heirs at law of Mrs. Kate E Lowry, who died December 2, 1925. It seems that Mrs. Lowry had previously been under the care of Dr. Alexander, but later secured the services of Dr. James Benjamin Darden. She became paralyzed and was under the care of a nurse, who in turn was subject to the orders of Dr. Darden. There arose a disagreement between Dr. Darden and the nurse and the latter made startling charges against Dr. Darden. After Mrs. Lowry's death, it was found that a will had been drawn leaving certain parcels of improved real estate to relatives and even an interest to the nurse. Other of Mrs. Kate E. Lowry's friends were left $100 each and the Oak Street A. M. Eaton Church, of which the deceased was a member was left $1,000. The rest and residue were left to her physician, Dr. James Benjamin Darden It was later discovered that the 'rest and the residue' would amount to a sum in excess of the thousand dollars. Then the two heirs at law, who reside now in Hackensack, New Jersey came on and began a fight to set aside the will. Attorney Jacob Lovenstein and Attorney R. H. Mann, the later former U. S. District Attorney represented them. Many witnesses were present December 9th and the case was adjourned over until December 14th. There to the indisposition of Judge Mullin was the case has been postponed and may not be resumed until after the holidays. MORE HUMAN RELATIONS BETWEEN RACES IS URGER (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 13—The "more human relationships" between white and Negro women were recommended Thursday afternoon by the continuation committee of the Interracial Conference of Church women in a statement summarizing its findings on a program for good will between the races. "Realizing that interracial action must be preceded by interracial thinking," the statement said. "We find the women of our churches need to learn to work with rather than for the Negro. We believe that existing church organizations constitute the best channel for creating this attitude." Cooperation of white and Negro churches in establishing a system of "visiting housekeepers, who would devote themselves to instruction and aid in housekeeping," was urged, while "forced housing segregation" was condemned as "unspiritual and undemocratic." The committee urged that preventive measures against lynchings be adopted and an open forum be conducted in the press to create public opinion looking to "better understand between the races." DR. DUBOIS LAUDS RUSSIA On account of the inclemency of the weather a small, but appreciative audience greeted the accomplished Dr W. E. B. DuBois Thursday night, 9th inst., as the Lege St. M. E. Church, Rev. R. M. Williams, pastor. His detailed description of conditions in Russia astounded many. He was outspoken in declaring it to be as orderly government as any he had ever observed and that many of the reports alleged to have come from there, in his judgment, were of a malicious origin. IDEAL SOCIETY NOTES The Executive Committee of the National Ideal Society held its regular meeting Friday, December 3rd. Interesting reports were made by the officers. Mr A. W. Holmes, Supreme Master informed the committee that he had just received a communication from the Insurance Commissioner of Pennsylvania, dated December 2, 1926 to the effect that the Supreme Lodge of the National Ideal Benefit Society is not subject to the insurance laws of the State of Pennsylvania and has not at any time violated any laws of the State, but leaves the society unharmed, to build new lodges and nurseries, and to spread the work throughout that State. Application was recently received for a charter for a new nursery in Pittsburgh, to be organized by Deputy George A. Arvin. A splendid lodge was organized in Petersburg a few days ago, by Deputy J. R. Hicks. At a recent meeting of the Richmond District Council, arrangements were made for a public installation of officers of the various lodges and reception of new members, January, 1927. Deputy T. L. Beverly is chairman of the committee. Golden Eagle Lodge will hold its regular meeting Friday, December 17th, at which time they are planning to initiate 15 or more candidates. A reception will follow in honor of the new members. Washington Club, headed by Mr B W. Perkins, is making very satisfactory progress. Members are already looking forward to the 15th Annual Convention to be held in Washington, D C, September 1927. Mr A W. Holmes, Supreme Master has just returned from the western part of the State, bringing encourag news concerning the Order. HAMPTON GETS SESQU1 AWARD HAMPTON INSTITUTE, VA, Dec. 13 — According to a letter received at the Institute, a gold medal for distinguished service in the education of the Negro has been awarded Hampton Institute by the International Jury of Awards of the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition. The Hampton exhibit consisted of a series of photographs and charts housed in a booth of unique design, made by students of the Institute. The seventy odd photographs illustrating the various activities of the students, enlarged and printed in sepa, were framed in brown oak and hung in panels on the wall, while a standard carrying pictures and charts occupied the other side wall. Charts telling of the various schools of the Institute and their courses were placed on the inside of the columns. The diplomas of award are now being prepared and, according to the executive jury, will be ready for distribution during the early part of the coming year. MATT. HENSON LECTURES HERE Matt Henson, the noted colored explorer, who was the only human being, outside of Commodore Peary himself to reach the North Pole, by land travel, gave a highly interesting account of that world famous exploit at the City Auditorium. Friday evening, 10th inst. He exhibited photographs taken on the spot and gave a lecture that will long he remembered by those who sat and listened to him. HE IS FOR HARMONY, UNION AND PROGRESSIVE COOPERATION Bahia, Brazil, Nove 12, 1926 Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. Richmond, Virginia, U. S. A. Dear Sir:—It is almost useless to preach to one man to be good, when he sees with his own eyes and feels with his own sense, as well as hearing with his own ears, that the real bad people, even the legal authorities do not dare to disturb. In case of white men not being afraid to break open a government prison and take out the inmates to lynch them at will, gives rise to the question whether the victim would not have been justified to resist such iniquitous authorities to the death rather than submit to their weak control? And for the local authorities to send out notice that they would tolerate any outside interference, was an open challenge of defiance to the whole civilized world! Now, it is not needed of me to point the fact out to you that this was more than the Emperor of Germany dared to say; when the Allies found that he was provoking the war which eventually resulted. And besides this, the question might be asked, that if they can so easily be justified in such an attack upon the constituted institutions to take out those who had already thrown themselves upon the mercy of established authority; whether the friends of any such probable victim would not find them selves equally justified in taking one to see him free of such weak hands? Hence, we musturing distance, would to know what oured race leaders have had to inform the courts and general society upon these subjects? Nothing! We suppose! Then what rights have you to tell your own people what they should or should not do? This is 'just why the young generations are growing so disrespectful to those among you who always have some moral advice to sell to them. What good are your lawyers, ministers and newspaper men to them in the hour of real trouble? Does it not seem that you really mean to shackle them for their enemies beforehand? And if you young whites are so disrespectful to the established powers of authority, why should you coloured people without any authority whatever, expect so much respect and obedience from coloured people? Your manners are giving the civilized world much cause to think and to prepare for self defense in the hour of crucial decisions. Do not be fooled, there is great discontent in the basement!—the wine is fermenting, the kerosene barrel is leaking, the napha tank is open and water is dropping upon the quick lime, and with all the other highly inflammable material in the storehouse near by; it is highly probable that a serious explosion is to be expected. And when trouble comes, those very fellows who are now grazing and humiliating their government, will be wondering why it cannot protect them? Those very fellows whom the Government has given the right to wreak whatever vengeance they chose upon the weak and dependent citizens, are placing a most deadly charge under the seat of government. And even the coloured churches and other institutions and enterprises can not well hope for serious patronage by the sensible people of their own people. The treachery of the late Dr Booker T. Washington was a severe blow to the weak confidence of coloured Americans, along with other failures of leading members of their race to make good. As education enters out goes certain unreasonable superstititions and when their diploma preachers are still teaching that the earth is a huge table set, with mains, etc. with now and again pieces of earth matter heaped up in certain localities called mountains, get the disfigure of their people about their judgment concerning matters of life, death, civil and moral politics, heaven he, God's the Devil, etc.; those old mythical and mysterious chants to which so many are resorting to as a practice, to get an easy living; are losing their grip on the young people because the practitioners are so impractical themselves. And this will continue until the right class of thinkers and workers take the front again. We are getting into an age of serious and wonderful realities, and one has to be powerfully reasonable, or his little hand will be called; and if he is caught bluffing he had as well quit the game or give up his stakes without further struggle. It would be well for the National Government to teach its own people to respect the serious importance of its government at home before other and in such cases those outlaws can not be relied upon to uphold the dignity against armed and determined forces—when in the time of peace they disrespect and ridicule this importance of social and political dignity, by their deprived savagery. This proves the vital impracticability of disarmament! We are for harmony, union and progressive cooperation, reciprocally adhered to! I. S. MOORE P. S.—In what does it profit the U. S.

Dec 13 — I will give anybody a reward of $250 who will give me information as to the whereabouts of my son, Luckey Scott, aged 20 years," declared J. M Scott, Rural Route 6. El Dorado Arkansas. The missing man is 5 feet, 6 inches tall, dark brown in color. His father said that he disappeared April 29th last and was last heard from May 14th at Camden, Ark. His mother is worried to the verge of a nervous breakdown over him and some word from him will mean much to his sick mother and the rest of the members of the family, said Mr. Scott. GREAT THINGS DOING AT THIRD ST. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH We have just closed a great revival in which our fellowship both with God and one another was greatly strengthened; sinners converted, backsliders reclaimed and sin rebuked. Dr. J. G. Robinson of Philadelphia did the preaching. A fellowship banquet war served the members and friends at. e close We had 25 conversions, accessions and reclamations. Last Sunday the converts and infants were baptized after Dr. Hatcher had expounded Luke 15. We had 12 accessions and our offering went quite over $100.00. Dr Hatcher read letters from Sister Bryant, who sent him a Christ was gift of $20.00 and Sister Sprat levy who sent the church $5.00. Our pastor left Monday night for Philadelphia where he is to deliver two of his famous sermon lectures and visit the Philadelphia Bible School. He will return for Friday Night Bible Class. Sunday at 1 A. M. he will expound Luke 16th chapter, in which will be so forth the Bible doctrine of Hell Hear him. Come to Third-Street and hear what the Lord hath to say. The Second Baptist Church was said to have been the scene of a heated discussion about two weeks ago. It was 2 A M. It is reported before a vote that the church was without jurisdiction in the case was formally announced, Deacon John T. Taylor was a prominent figure. BANK CLOSED 25 Rev. Carrington's YEARS IS PAYING Daughter Wounded BANK CLOSED 25 Rev. Carrington's YEARS IS PAYING Daughter Wounded DEPOSITORS RECEIVE 140 PER CENT. FROM R. I. HOUSE MORE TO COME WESTERLY, R. I., Dec. 10.—A bank which was closed by the courts in 1901 for "unwise investments" will begin payments today to its depositors which will raise the total they have received to 140 per cent with more to come. Back in 1901 when this little town had fewer than 8,000 residents, it was shocked when the doors of the Mechanics' Savings Bank, founded in 1840, were closed. There were 1,900 savings accounts, one to every fourth person of the population and the leading business men of the community were the directors. "Too much wild cat stock in Oklahoma oil wells and Florida orange groves," was the common talk. But the directors were able to distribute 25 per cent. of the deposits four months after the closing, 25 per cent. more in eighteen months and then dribbles of 5 and 10 per cent. at intervals until the investors had recovered every cent of their money, and 10 cents on the dollar as premium. The wells and groves produced. The two surviving directors, Ira B. Crandall, retired clothing merchant, and Thomas Nichols, still in the banking business, voted a distribution of $300,000 beginning today from the proceeds of the oil lands "Within six or seven months," said Mr. Crandall yesterday, "we expect to reduce our remaining assets to cash and will pay another dividend of 6 or 7 per cent." Several of the depositors on record in 1901 have died and their heirs will receive the Christmas larges, the directors recently advertised in an article state a few depositors who have disappeared and the intervening twenty-five years. You might as well give Mr. Edward Stewart your order at 203 S. Second Street. He has all of the delicacies of the season and at prices which will suit. Give him a call, either in person or over the telephone. His customers, both white and colored are outspoken in their praise of the supplies that he sells. You will find the Charles G. Jurgens store all right. There is something peculiarly fitting about the selections now awaiting your choice and the terms can be made satisfactory. Adams and Broad Streets is the place. Rev. R. H Johnson, D. D., delivered a powerful twenty minute sermon at Sharon Baptist Church last Sunday morning from Matthew 1:21. The collection for the service aggregated $56.00, although the attendance was not less. Choir Leader J. L. Peters has brought the choir up to a surprising point of musical fitness and many selections were rendered to the delight of those present. Editor John Mitchell, Jr. was an interested observer. Envelopes for the pastor's Christmas gift were readily taken by the members. Friends are congratulating Mrs. Charles J. Daniel, 734 N. Third St. on the award made her son, Mr. W. A. Daniel by the Harmon Foundation. Mr. Daniel received the award for his social study on "The Education of the Negro Ministers." He resides in Atlanta. Ga. and has received his degree in philosophy from the University of Chicago. Mr. George T. Frye's tenorial parlor is now prepared for infant service. They have four barbera on the job. The location is 617 N. And St. Mrs P. M. B. Hodge, of Danville Va. was in the city last week attendi- ing the funeral of Mrs. Annie E Blackwell. Miss Louise Garnett, student of V. N. and I. I. was called to the city last week on account of the sudden death of her mother, Mrs. Julia Gaf- nett, 745 N 5th Street. Mrs. Lillie Bryd, mother of Mr. Leslie F. Byrd, of the Southern Aid Society, who has been extremely ill at her home in Newport News, Va. is improving nicely at this writing. Mrs. Vera Bowser, who has been quite indisposed, is able to be out again. She wishes to thank her many friends and neighbors for the beautiful flowers and trays sent her during her recent illness.

Saunders lost no time in suspending and dismissing from service Special Prohibition Officer O A. Hanby, who recklessly fired on passing automobiles on a public highway in Northampton county. These cars contained no whiskey. Hanby reported to the Prohibition Department here, surrendered his badge and commission and stated that at the time of the unlawful shooting, he was accompanied by W F. Bloxom, who was not connected with the department in any capacity. OTHER CARS PUNCTURED Commonwealth's Attorney T. H. Nottingham found that more than a dozen automobiles were punctured, some of them being riddled with bullets. Miss Dorothy Carrington, the 16-year-old daughter of the popular Rev. W. B. Carrington, of Franktown Baptist Church, near Capa Charles, was wounded, one of the bullets entering her body, but not in a vital place, and the other lodging in her hip. The shooting took place in front of Mr. C. S. Taylor's home, and his son, Howard Taylor, narrowly escaped death as he entered his home. OFFICERS ARRESTED Four bullets punctured his automobile. More than a hundred shots were fired at various automobiles. Warrants have been worn out for both Hanby, and Rhoeas. BLOOMING LILY LODGE, NO. 15. K. OF P. LEAVES ORDER. At its regular monthly meeting last Tuesday night, Blooming Lily Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E. A., A. and A., upon report of a committee previously appointed, decided by an almost unanimous vote, there being only two votes in the negative, to leave the Order and to assume a club formation. The attitude of the present officers of the Grand Lodge and the heavy additional taxation, coupled with the unsatisfactory handling of the funds of the Order as disclosed at the recent Grand Lodge session at Staunton, is given as a reason for this action. The failure of the Grand Lodge officials to conform to the resolutions adopted by the Tidewater Past Chancellors also aggravated the members of the lodge. This is one of the largest bodies in the State and is financially independent. MRS. JULIA GARNETT BURIED The funeral of Mrs. Julia Garnett, whose sudden death occurred Sunday December 5, 1926 at her residence, 745 N. 5th Street, was held from the Fifth Street Baptist Church, Tuesday, December 7, at 3 P. M. In a most sympathetic and impressive manner, Rev. C. S. Morris, pastor, eulogized the life and character of the deceased. Mrs. Garnett had been a member of said church for eight years. In her humble and quiet way she was always ready as a Christian to dig charge the duties of the church as signed her. She was a devoted wife and a loving mother, leaving to mourn their loss, husband, Mr. John Garnett; two children, Louise and John Garnett, Jr.; four sisters and two brothers. Floral designs were beautiful, showing the esteem in which the deceased was held. Funeral Director A. D Price, Jr. had charge of the remains, which were laid to rest in Evergreen. By A. B.

There is an inspector and the engine guarded upon his appearance. It provides conclusive proof that a regulated, uniform speed has been maintained mile after mile, without sub-normal or of excessive bursts. Night travelers over the Burlington railroad's 10,000 miles of track will sleep undisturbed in the future by the customary jolts and jaws incidental to the progress of a train. Automatic speed recorders have been installed on passenger engines on the main lines of that system, that engineers may maintain even speed and gentle motion throughout the entire run. The speed recorders furnish a chronological account of each journey after the fashion of a barograph. Each abrupt change of speed, each jolt and far registers and constitute a veritable accusation of the engineer by his passengers whose dreams may have been suddenly shattered. The device is expected by rail-road officials to make for greater reliability of trains and to do much toward making sound and refreshing sleep possible for those who are traveling at night. Besides adding to the general comfort of passengers, the speed recorders contribute to the safety 9 The new British one-man tank, demonstrated recently in maneuvers at Camberley, is pictured above.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1926 We have received a pamphlet, entitled "A. Short Sketch of the Industrial Union of America, W. I and C. Industrial Union Institute and Orphanage, Rev. James M. Henderson, M. M., Principal" Rev. Henderson's life and work are so intertwined with the organization and the institution that his story of the one is practically a biographical sketch of this remarkable educator and divine. He has had a remarkable career and even now is practically in his prime. A copy of this interesting publication may be secured by addressing him at Southern Pines, N. C. PRESIDENT BUTLER'S WARNING President Nicholas Butler of Columbia University, New York, is one of the truly great men of the country. He belongs to that type of statesmen, who have "gone the way of all the earth." His warnings will not be heeded today or tomorrow, but the wisdom of what he says and has said will be demonstrated during this century. In an extended communication, the news columns of the New York Times contain the following remarkable declarations, standing out in their transcendent truisms like the Ten Commandments of the Holy Writ: "Dr. Nicholas Murray Buler, President of Columbia University, in his annual report to the trustees, made public yesterday, asserted that the universities were the 'only present home of liberty and apparently its only hope." "He charged that intolerance prevailed in Church and State to such an extent that if it invaded the universities in the same degree it would mean 'a new and dismal Dark Age'. "Attacking a new 'Phillistinism' in modern literature and education, he accused the new Philistines of 'displacing discipline for indiscipline thoroughness for superficiality, school arship for defly organized opportunities for ignorance, and morals for impulsive and appetitive conduct.' They were partly responsible he declared for the ills of modern society. To overcome their influence, he called for a revival of the classic spirit in modern education." How can Dr. Nicholas Butler secure a revival of the classic spirit in the face of indiscipline and the lack of thoroughness? In the wild race for students with influence and money, thoroughness has been forgotten. When efficiency of the West Point type is insisted upon and the type of student life, which recognizes only athletic games and influence as the means to get a diploma, which accords to the holder a high standing of efficiency, which he never attained has been eliminated then the ideals of this distinguished economist and educator will be realized, and not until then. The English and German standard of efficiency is needed in this country. It can come only with parental control and most of these students, or at least many of them are sent away from home to the educational centres in order to avoid this very type of idealism, which is to form the bedrock principle of instruction in our rising generation. EDITOR BRYANT'S STRICTURES We have received special copies of "The Young Allenite," published as the organ for Allen's Young People at Nashville, Tennessee with Ira T. Bryant as editor. It contains charges against some of the most venerable and influential bishops in that great organization and continues "to cry aloud and spare not." There can be only one justification for these onslaughts and that is in the alleged ruthlessness of those in charge of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and a refusal to permit the complainants to have an opportunity to present these allegations and charges within the confines of the organization itself with the assur ance that fair play will be the mode of procedure and that plain, unalloyed justice will be the outcome. As the matter now stands, Editor Bryant's purpose is to produce a revolution within the confines of the organization itself. Should a hearing not be accorded and drastic means resorted to, a split in the Church itself must inevitably result. We have read the issues of this journal and we hope that some way will be found to bring about a change in the alleged conditions and that the "court of last resort," the American African Methodist Episcopal Church people will rise in their might and either silence Editor Bryant or force the Church leaders to investigate the charges and decide upon a plan to remedy and correct these grievous alleged conditions. We pause to incidentally remark that Editor Bryant should state the facts without permeating them with thievery, rape and other extreme decontations. These facts if true will speak for themselves and the people will supply the proper words of condemnation. A VOICE FROM NEW YORK. Attorney Lipscomb Speaks Plainly. Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., 311 North Fourth Street, Richmond, Virginia., Dear Sir: Yes, I had learned of your troubles and both in my private conversations and public speeches upheld you and I have not hesitated to tell the people that I did not believe in so far as I could deduct from the facts, that there was any act or acts of yours, nor any intention of wrong doing on your part which brought about the situation. I was glad to know and to see you turn on the light on certain Pythians, while squandering the people's money and drawing pay for services rendered, which in law they could not so render. Please continue The Planet and I will see that you are paid more promptly. CHICAGO NOTES Herbert Officers Council, No. 1, A. U.

HARMON AWARDS FOR 1926 ARE ANNOUNCED BEST WORK BY NEGROES IN SCIENCE, EDUCATION, LITERATURE, BUSINESS, RELICION IS RECOGNIZED. NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—For years Palmer C. Hayden, has been cleaning houses and washing windows to make a living, and during his spare time has gone back to his room at 29 Greenwich Avenue to dabble in oil colors and paint coast and river scenes which appealed to him. Yesterday he received the first prize in fine arts from the Harmon Foundation and the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches Only a few of Hayden's friends have known of his artistic efforts. He painted for the joy of it, and not because he hoped to win any great appreciation of his efforts. But when five of his paintings were submitted to the Foundation, depicting water scenes near Portland, Me., Haverstraw, N Y., and other nooks, the jury decided that he had done unusual work for a man with so little training and subject to such a handicap of limited opportunity. The judges who awarded to him the first prize of $400 with a gold medal were William A. Boring, director, School of Architecture, Columbia University; Francis C Jones of the New York Academy of Design; Laura Wheeler, artist and teacher; Grosvenor Atterbury, architect, and William E Harmon of the Harmon Foundation. Mr. Hayden is 33 years old and was born at Widewater, Va. The second prize of $100 and a bronze medal went to Hale Woodruff, 26, of Indianapolis, Ind. These were only two of the awards of $400 and $100 with medals made to Negroes who had done outstanding work in various fields during the year. The other prizes went to the following: WIGS OF NATURAL HUMAN HAIR MADE ACCORDING TO YOUR MEASUREMENT. Either Wavy or Crimpy. Can be combed and dressed. Buy direct from manufacturer.

Ask any druggist. But be sure to get McCoy's, the original and genuine, and bear in mind that for thin, sickly kids they are wonderful—a very sickly child—age 9—gained 12 pounds in 7 months.

FIGHTER'S DRUGS. IN THE TURKEY'S CRAW. PROSPERITY'S CHILDREN. If, as a big income taxpayer, you had prepared smiles for the $250,000,000 refund, change your smiles to tears. The $250,000,000 will not be refunded. Congress thinks the money would be better in the Perk Barrel than in the pockets of payers. There is demand for more public buildings. And there is the Farm Block. It says that if Government has money to burn, it should spend some on solving farm problems, and cotton men want help to hold up cotton. Santa Claus is not coming with his $250,000,000 bag to the big taxpayers this year. Captain Mabbutt, manager of Dempsey's training says the champion fighter was drugged with poison in his coffee. That is possible. Prizefighting is not 100 per cent ethical. But there is a drug successful prizefighters absorb after they get the championship that is potent, smart from chemistry. Its ingredients include: Too much money, self-indulgence, flattery. They all take these drugs and are all beaten by them in the end. And then there is Father Time; he drugs and knocks out all of us. While this richest country, which polemely believes that it won the war, tries to fly and can't, the defated German nation goes as far ahead of us in engineering as it was in chemistry before the war started. For the last quarter of a century big game fishermen have been thrilled by a strange group of giant mackerel-like fishes which could swim at a tremendous rate of speed, leap far out of the water, and put up thrilling battles when hooked by the angler. Among these famous sailfish, sometimes called the pike fish, for many years was recognized principally by two species, known as Is- NAT JERLAW, AT LONG KEY FISHING CAMP WITH A REW SPECIES OF SAIL FISH STORAGE HUGS VOLAOE Eichhorus nigricans and Istiophorus Americanus. This strange fish was probably first observed by American sportsmen when Capt. Charley Thompson, famous fishing pilot, took out a party of sportsmen at Palm Beach in 1901, though commercial fishermen had caught one occasionally before that time. The earlier scientists had described the fish, or spear fish, as the sailfish, then indiscriminately known to fishermen. The capture of a sailfish was considered by many as a great feat than bagging a lion. Added its tremendous speed, and the spectacular battle it could out up, trapping far out of the water, skittering along on the surface while "walking on its tail." was its strange appearance. A giant horsal or "back-bone" fin, blue as Identified by Dr. David Starr Jordan TINY FISH, ACTUAL SIZE, THAT JEEKS REFUSE IN THE GILLS OF THE SAIL FISH A WORLD'S RECORD CATCH OF SAILFISH MADE AT THE FAMOUS LONG KNIFE FISHING CAMPS IN THE POND NETS, SEVEN GREY MOUNDS OF THE SEA' WEEB CAUGHT IN ONE DAY A German engineer is at work on a superplane to carry 10,000 H. P. engines, ten propellers, 150 passengers, a crew of twenty-five and cross the Atlantic in thirty-six hours. Merely hearing about that makes us dizzy in this country. Investigation of watchmen on Long Island grade crossings found eighteen of them asleep. Fourteen "watchers" are found peacefully slumbering on Staten Island. The human is uncertain—more reason for persuading railroads to use devices that do not go to sleep. The best is the raised or sunken grade crossing. A good one would be a sharp right angle turn in the road before every grade crossing, compelling drivers to stop and think. Swinging red lights and ringing bells help. The public should have, but hasn't, intelligence enough not to get run over—and not to depend watchman. William S. Roberts, of Butte, Montana, bought a turkey and five small gold nuggets were found in its craw. The turkey came from a packing house. Nobody knows where it used to eat. There is a tragedy—a gold mine somewhere, impossible to locate it. But a worse tragedy is represented by the man of genius. His brain contains intellectual gold nuggets of gigantic size. But, like the turkey with the lumps of gold in its inside, the genius cannot tell where he got it. Cannot point to the celestial mine whence genius comes. Four railroads have increased wages of shopmen, showing intelligence in allowing crumbs from the prosperity table to fall within the reach of the workers. There is prosperity enough for all, and it will last longer if everybody has a little of it. Prosperity's stepchildren are the cotton growers and the textile manufacturers. Women that used to wear yards upon yards of material now wear about as much as is used to wrap up a baby. Northern textile workers worry about the removal of their industry to the South, and they may. Goal and lorn, side by side, took the iron mills to Pittsburgh. Cotton, cheap power and labor, side by side, naturally take the textile industries to the South. Wonderful Sailfish, Identified by Dr. D. A WORLD'S RECORD CATCH OF SAILFISH MADE AT THE FAMOUS LONG KEY FISHING CAMPS IN THE FLORIDA KEYS, SEVEN GREYHOUNDS OF THE SEA' WERE CAUGHT IN ONE DAY the Gulf Stream and purple splotted, arises like a great sail, whence the saifish derives its name. The upper jaw is extendd into a long, round "spear," or sword, with which the saifish flays smaller fish to disable them, and which it has been known to thrust through the planking of a row boat. To land one of these trophies because the desire of many an expert sportmen tries, particularly as keen sportsmen tries, to catch their saifish with the lighted saifle line possible. Some were taken on twelve-thread lines which will part at a strain of about twenty-four pounds, several even on six-thread, lines which part on a direct pull of about twelve pounds. The sportsmen, in their zealous search, brought in a number of sailfish which Dr. David Starr Jordan, former president of the Le兰land Stanford, Jr. University, Caliifornia, has classified as new species of this marvelous type of fishes. In a review of the giant mackerel-like fishes, tunnies, spear fishes, and sword fishes, just issued by the California Academy of Sciences, and prepared by Dr. Jordan and Mr. Barton Warren Evermann, his collaborator in many valuable scientific works on fishes, the new species are described. There is the Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. Colds are not "simple ailments." Here are some things to be remembered: (1) All colds are infectious—contagious. (2) The careless "sneezer" must he shunned carefully. (3) Colds are the result of germ invasion. (4) They are invariably carried from person to person. (5) They are not caused by exposure to cold, or by changes in the weather. The latter statement may be doubted; but the fact remains that, prolonged exposure to cold and wet, weakens the resistance of the body, and permits the germs to multiply rapidly; we may carry germs for years, that never develop sufficiently to make us sick, because our resistance is capable of holding them in check. Then comes prolonged effort, or exposure, and the enemy asserts itself. Colds are unlikely, if the body is in first-class condition. Good, wholesome, nutritious food is a preventive, if properly taken. Ample, comfortable clothing, plenty of rest and sleep and a tranquil state of mind, will keep colds in the background. If you have a cold, correct the bowels and kidneys, and stay indoors till well; you have no right to appear at gatherings, snort, sneeze and cough—to infect others. To sneeze in the general direction of everybody is a crime committed only by the very ignorant. Hot lemonades, teas and foot-baths are old remedies, but very useful. Surface circulation must be maintained, and the cold skin brought back to normal. Next Week DISEASES OF CIVILIZATION David Starr Jordan TINY FISH, ACTUAL SIZE, THAT SEEKS REFUGE IN THE GILLS OF THE SAIL FISH Istiophorus wrighti, or Wrighti Salifish, (named after a journal of New York who has written about sail fishes) first taken in Miami, weighing only five and one half pounds and said to be the smallest salifish ever taken until early 1926 when a specimen was brought by Log. Cost. Bill Fishing Camp, Fla., by Cost. Bill Nelson which weighed only three six ounces. Then there is the Istiophorus greyi, a monster reaching ten feet one inch, taken by Zane Grey, the novelist, near Cape St. Lucas, Mexico. The Istiophorus maguirei (named after Mr. J. A. McGuire, Editor of *Outdoor Life*. Denver) and Istiophorus volador (taken by Mr. Nat Jerlaw of Chicago) are two new species captured long Key, which abounds in salifish no fewer than 498 having been taken there in a single year From Hawaii to the tropicctenes, Tetratypus illinoinch, and Tetrapus kraussi, all new species of the closest allied seah Many others of the great mack- erel-type mates whose not classified as new species, are identified so that in the future, scientists may be able to recognize them. Because of imi- rect drawings it has sometimes been impossible to find the species for which certain names were intended. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Too Much Efficiency By E.J. W.J. Watt and Co. Rath Modern Beauty and the Beast A Miss Gretchen Brown of Kankakee, Ill. is shown holding the huler of Black Reveler, prize winning steer at the International Livestock Exposition at Chicago. The steer was the entry of the University of Illinois BEGIN HERE TODAY JOHN W. BROOK, widower and hardware magnate, leaving the city for two months, constructing engineers to manage his home during that time. He start on his trip without any asking any questions to his three children, Constance, Billy and Alice. They are startled into a reallocation of their father has done when H. HEDGE, efficiency engineer, takes complete control of the school for a book he intends to write. Brookie children an a type of the idle rich. These are found by his secretary, through utterly motives. Upon discovering the notes, Constance makes known Brookie and his scientific methods. Hedge is in love with Constance, in response to her declaration of a chair and commands her attention. He throws his business evidence, E. Edge, E.—into the fire and the ice. Constance there is no such person. Constance continues her sobbing, her hurried in her arms over the desk. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "I am through with efficiency!" said the efficiency man. Constance stirred. "I am through with economy!" She moved her head so that one oye peeped out through the crook of her elbow. "I call to scientific management!" he called. Constance raised her head slowly and stared at him. She met a glare that alarmed her. He was standing just opposite, across the library desk, his eyes blazing with a new light. "You have burned my diary," he said grimly. "You have burned my notes. You have thrown into the fire all my hopes of reforming the American household. Yes—You! Now you can take the consequences—you type of the idle rich!" Constance felt herself shrinking. She had never seen H. Hudge in such mood. "Idle rich!" he echoed. "Idle rich! All right—I'm for 'om. I'm going to join the crowd." He laughed boisterously. "You think I'm crazy, don't you?" he said. "I can see it in your eyes. Perhaps I am. Let it go at that: I should wow. I will show you just how crazy I am." H. Hedge made a dash at the filing case, pausing midway to execute several bewildering steps. "Observe that I do not take the shortest route," he exclaimed. "Hat You did observe. Now watch!" When the mantle envelopes and their contents were a roaring mass of flames he wheeled quickly and made a second assault upon the mantle. `G` to `L` he ecclaimed. The other one did and `E` after all. `T` bad; I thought I'd get more at one lick. Never mind. Here goes nearly half the alphabet. Well, why don't you cheer?" He dumped the plethoric contents of the second drawer into the fire, then danced again as the flames lapped hungrily "G to L! That includes Glovanni, and George, and Household, and Inventory, and—H. Hedge! Yes, and anything that began with a J or a K—like junk or kittens. And L—like lemons. Wow!" Constance was fascinated with horror. But H. Hedge did not notice that. He made another attack on the cabinet. "M to S," he announced, as he dragged forth a third drawer. "Here goes Mary, the cook! And Matilda—and Minkle—and Ruth. Horace is P.J. Scott There was a wild expression in his eyes as he turned from the conflagration to glare at Constance. burned already. Funny went with the first installment. M to E! Meats and needles and oranges and pineapples and quinces and radisheed and—and steam heat. Watch 'am buryal Eh, Miss Brooke—what do you think about it? There was a wild expression in his eyes as he turned from the conflagration to glare at her. Constance huddled in her chair. "And now from T to ZF" The remaining drawer shot from the cabinet and went bodily into the fire, contents and all. "There goes Tommy Trendwell," he chorted. "And Witherbee, and Mendle Van Nost, and everything from T to the frish." He stirred things with the potion again, hibbing viciously at wads of paper that were reluctant to give up the ghost "Economyp" enclosed the efficiency man "Piffie" Efficiency! Adrian to ashes! All smiling demotion—where they, belong. Became the emphasis: I'm a bit enthusiastic. Wench I'm born. Miss Brooks." He found more papers lying on the desk and funging them into the mounting and firing them into the mounting constance war dumb and untreatable. Woman was truly frightened. No efficience. man in his senses could thus behave, she know; and she could not yet believe that H. Hedge had renounced efficiency. Something had snapped in his brain; she was sure of that. Suddenly he snatched the piller again and advanced upon her. "See that?" he demanded, writing it. "A very useful poker—heavy, strong. Sit where you need, don't dare to move. I'll be back in half a minute." He rushed from the library, and she heard him running down the hall. She sat there, powerless, even though her instinct was to fly from the house and escape the madman. A pity he was mad, she found her thinking—a pity, because in his maniac H. Hedge seemed almost sublimate. Connolly he was superhuman. There was something so utterly different from the efficiency man that Constance, even in her awe, was compelled to admire. From another part of the house she heard an echo of heavy blows. Heavens! H. Hedge was killing somebody! Then a sound of rapid footstep, and he was again in the library, a wild light of trumph in his eyes. He flung the poker into a corner and laughed joyously. "It's done!" he announced. "That's a bully poker." Constance questioned him with terrified eyes. "Yes, it's done! The time clock is dead—all the wheels and insides spilled out on the floor." The girl in the chair breathed again. There had been no murder in the Brooke mansion. "Nobody'll ever punch that clock again, after the wallop I gave it," he cried happily. "Busted the dial at the first crack. Looks as if it had been shot up with a 42-centimeter Mary is reviving Elvira—so fainted." He paused for an instant, then rushed forward, seized Constance by the wrist, dragged her from the chair and whirled her across the room. "Sit down," he ordered, pointing to the little office chair that stood at the typewriter desk. She obeyed, trembling. "Stick in a sheet of paper." "Now take this: 'Economy & Efficiency Corporation, Idf." "New York City, New York." "Got that? he demanded. 'Good. Now, go ahead.' 'GENTLEMEN: 'I resign. 'Got that? Right! Now. 'Don't send anybody in my place. If you do I'll best him over the head.' "Yours truly. 'That's all. Let's see. Here—I said 'bust,' not 'burst.' Change it. There—that's correct. Now address an envelope. Thanks. And now put in another sheet.' Constance did as hidden, in terror of the madman. "Take this." Henry Wellington Hedge. "DEAR SIR." "No; wait a minute. Scratch out the 'Dear Sir.' That's it. Now: 'DEAR HENRY.' "I resign my job as secretary, to take effect as soon as I can write my name under "Years affectionately—" Constance's cheeks flamed and her fingers became paralyzed after the "You're. On!" Write 'affectionately,' "he ordered meaningless." You take orders until you sign that. You're still my secretary. Write" "I'm not your secretary!" she declared passionately, at last finding her voice. "You've—you've resigned yourself!" "Not until I sign it." he erased. Write 'affectionately!" With trembling fingers she wears --affectionately "Good" enclosed M. Hodge as he dragged her back to the big death. "Now sign." No digged a gun and threw it into her hand. "Sign!" She signed. No chastened the gun from her fingers and signed the other bullet in a hold, consulting hand. New Chief Maj. Gen. Charles P.

THE PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday School meets 9:30 General lesson text I Samuel 1:3. Golden text, "Speak Lord, for Thy servant heareth" I Samuel 3:9 We had a wonderful church school last Sunday morning and a good many were out. Prayer meeting began at 11 o'clock A. M. It was a fire kindling prayer meeting, which means a spirit-growing. At 11:30, preaching by the pastor. He preached from Daniel 4:14. Everyone there was found crying. Oh how he did preach It seemed like we could see the servant Daniel as he was, because of the way he explained it. It was a wonderful morning service, considering the weather. At 3:00 o'clock the pastor preached Stops Agonizing Pains of Rheumatism PAIN, INFLAMMATION, SWELLING ALL YIELD TO JOHNSON'S BELLADONNA PLASTER. The prompt, positive, wonderful relief which Johnson's Belladonna Plaster brings in cases of Rheumatism or Gout, is due to the fact that the belladonna medication is absorbed through the skin direct to the affected parts, or through the nerves leading to the affected parts. The action of belladonna when absorbed in this way is practically stantaneous, and is many times stronger than when the belladonna is taken internally. That is why pain-vanishes so quickly—as if by magic—when Johnson's Belladonna Plaster is applied. The inflammation is relieved, the swelling is subdued, and actual peaceful comfort is restored in a marvelously short time. Johnson's carries full strength belladonna and the entire medication is held in soluble form for immediate and continual absorption through the skin into the seat of pain. Johnson's Belladonna Plasters are full strength, so to be certain of satisfaction, ask for Johnson's Belladonna Plaster by name.

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 twelve 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 humanity I am. J. A. PAGE, 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE Mr. L. J. Hayden, 224 West Broad Street, Richmond, Va I received your treatment O. K. and I have started to taking it already for a few days, and it has already begun to improve my all-ment so I am sending to you for one more bottle of medicine for the blood. 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 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 cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowoman. 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 360,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the errors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and parrotism 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.
