NO. 10 GETS Colored M A White La John Ac Benjam FIVE YEARS FOR KILLING IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT FRANK CAMPBELL WILL APPEAR MAXIMUM SENTENCE FOR MRS. AMSTEEN'S DEATH. The maximum sentence of five years in the sententiary was the punishment given Frank Campbell, colored, by a jury in Hustings Court Tuesday, January 11, on a charge of involuntary manslaughter. Campbell was driving the automobile which collided at Twenty-third and Carrington Street, with another one bearing Mrs. Annie Amster (white). The accident happened October 25 of last year. According to Hustings Court officials, this is the first time in their memory when the maximum penalty has been meted out in a case of an automobile killing. The evidence was to the effect that Mrs. Amster, who was 68 years old and lived at 1502 N. Twenty second Street, was a passenger in a small machine with some of her relatives, and that s' as thrown out following the collision with Campbell's car. Taken to Memorial Hospital, she died October 29. Injured at the same time were Jacob Amster 74, Morris and Leo Amster. They were all taken to Memorial Hospital for treatment, but recovered. Counsel for Campbell have signified their intention of noting an appeal. AN FULOGY. MUS. AGNES JOHNSON (By B. L. Allen) We take this method to record a deep sense of our personal bereavement and to pay a final tribute of respect to the client, continuing influence of the noble character of one of Richmond's old citizens, Mrs. Agnes Johnson, the mother of the faithful and efficient clerk of Sharon Baptist Church, William L. Johnson. She passed away on Thursday, December 30, 1985, at 8:20 A. M., at her residence, 110 N. Adams St. Richmond Va. It has now been nearly twenty-five years, in the early boyhood days of the present writer since he came into close contact with this typical American home. For it was in the home that she demonstrated in all their elemental beauty and true force the real meaning of the terms Mother, Friend, and Nelchbor. Her home will be remembered by the boys of "Old Navy HUH" for its radiant sunshine, for its encouragement of their boyish pleasures and for its very definite stimulation of their early ambitions and character. Her success in this respect is clearly in her own environment in that she shared four sons and two daughters to adult responsibility, without having a day's trouble brought upon her on account of their conduct, and each of whom has achieved his mark of success in the business world. She finally passed into the Great Beyond with a smile upon her face. We may truly sum up such a career in the immortal words of the poet Oliver Goldsmith: "I'll face the land, to hastening Ils a prey. Where wealth accumulates and men decay: Princess and lords may flourish, or may fade: A breath can make them, as a breath has made: But a bold passantry, their country's When once destroyed, can never be supplied." On Sunday, January 2nd, as the (Continued on page 8.) HARMON AWARDS HERE Awards given by the William E. Harmon Foundation for distinguished achievement among the colored persons of the country were presented Miss Virginia Randolph and Dr. W. A. Daniel, two of the seven successful entrants, by Mayor J. Fulmer Bright, at the Armstrong High School Thursday evening, 6th inst. Attorney-General John R. Saunders read a letter from Governor Harry Flood Byrd, which expressed the executive's regrets at not being able to attend the meeting. The Governor's message heartily congratulated Richmond's two distinguished colored citizens. Brief talks were made by a number of prominent Richmonders and visitors to the city, including Harris Hart, superintendent of the State Board of Education; H. C. Cooper, superintendent of Hancock County schools; W. D. Gresham, superintendent of Negro education in the State of Virginia, and Jackson Davis, formerly superintendent of schools in Henrico County, at present with the General Education Board in New York. The following representatives deceived short addresses: Prof. William J. Clark, Virginia Union University; Ogden Purvis representing Dr. Gregge principal of Hampton Institute; Dr. John M. Gandy Virginia State Normal; Dr. W. T. Johnson, board of directors of the Richmond Community Fund. John Stewart Bryan, of the News Leader, was master of ceremonies. Immediately preceding the presentation of $400 in cash and a gold medal to Miss Virginia Randolph as first prize in education, and $100 and a bronze medal awarded Dr W. A. Daniel for taking second honors in science, the talented colored woman was showered with gifts from various organizations. A silver vase and candlesticks were given her by fellow workers of the Community Fund, and other gifts were given by the Virginia Randolph Training School, Hunter and Company, and Washington Park School. Mrs. W T. Johnson presented her with a beautiful Spanish shawl, from a group of friends. The Sabbath Glee Club gave a musical touch to the program with several selections. The William E. Harmon awards for distinguished achievement are offered annually to give recognition and stimulus to creative work. They are especially designed to bring public recognition to persons who have made worthwhile achievement but who have not yet received such recognition. SPECIAL SERVICE AT EBENEZER There will be a special Missionary Service at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Sunday, January 16, at 8 P. M., under the auspices of the Leymens Missionary Society, OverSea Society and Usher Board of the above named church. An interesting program has been arranged. Mr. J. F. Bullock will sing a solo, also a solo by Mr. Leoonard Gray. Rev. Mr. C. M. Murphy, pastor of the People's Church will preach a special sermon: "They Limited the Holy One of Israel." All are welcome. Committee: Over Sea Society, Mrs. B G Cousins, president; Laymens Missionary Secedey, Mr. E. Ford, president; Usher Board, George L. Branch, president. Rev. William H. Stokes, Ph. D. pastor. A PECULIAR MALADY Contractor George N. Evans has been suffering from a peculiar malady. His teeth or jaws have been locked and he has been unable to take nourishment until two of his jaw teeth were prized out to make an opening for this purpose. He can now open his mouth about a quarter of an inch and is slowly improving. It is not a case of tetanus or lock jaw, however, but it has been puzzling to the surgeons. He has been under the skillful treatment of Dr. Miles B Jones.

Morris, pastor officiated, being assisted by Rev B. H. Johnson, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church of this city. Prof Jackson had been a teacher and a practitioner of law for forty years. He left his foster son, Rev W. D. White and many other relatives and friends. He has been first and foremost in the development of his race in his section. He leaves an estate variously estimated at from $60,000 to $70,000. ALMA ELLIS BROCKINGTON The Fifth Street Baptist Church was filled Sunday, January 9, 1927 at 2 P. M. with sorrowing relatives and friends, who had come to nay the last tribute of respect to Mrs. Alma Ellis Brookington, who departed this life Thursday, January 6th, at 9:25 P. M. As the choral sang, "Abide With Me," the honorary pall bearers (young ladies who were life long friends of the deceased) heavily laden with costly designs, entered the church, preceding the handsome pink state casket covered with flowers, which was rolled in by Undertaker R. C. Scott. The active pall bearers, family, friends and societies followed. "Lead Kindly Light" was touchingly lyed by Mr. Paul Morton. Rev. C. S. Morris, pastor of the church, read the Scriptures, after which he took as his text: "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth." The eulogy was very impressive. Rev. Morris spoke of having been called to the home just a few moments before Alma passed into the Great Beyond, and his beautiful portrayal of the death bed scene touched the hearts of the vast audience assembled before him. Mrs. Josephine Graham, in her unassuming manner sweet sang, "They Are Wating for You," which caused the entire audience to be bathed in tears. Alma had been a member of the said church since her thirteenth year, taking an active part as long as her health permitted it. Her devoted husband, mother and grandparents did all in their power, leaving no stone unturned to prolong her young life, but God who is too wise to err, too just to be unkind, sent His messenger of death to call her home. She leaves a mother, father, husband, two children, grandmother and grandfather to mourn their loss. The choir sang, the remains were buried out of the church and conveyed to Woodland Cemetery, where they were interred in a steel vault. The grave was covered with a profusion of beautiful and costly flowers, mute testimony of the custom in which the deceased was held. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CHARLESTON UNION The Annual Meeting and Installation of Officers of the Charitable Union will take place at the True Reformers Hall, Monday night, January 31, 1927, from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. The meeting will be arranged Rev.

Personals and Briefs Colored people are steadily leaving this city for a northern clime and comparatively few of them are returning. There is a probability that the well-known Mr. William Miller, who has been an asset to this city for so many years, may locate in a northern State. Mrs. Mary Cornelius Harris, age 37 years was found last Wednesday afternoon with her head on a kitchen en gas stove. She was dead from the fumes of gas. Skating has been a popular sport here this week. It has been many years since the lakes and ponds in this vicinity were frozen sufficiently to bear the weight of the skaters. Rev. E. C. Smith, Rev. J. B. Brown of Petersburg, Rev. C. A. Lindsey, and Rev. Joseph Arrington are spoken of as being considered for the pastorate of the Second Baptist Church. Rev. W. L. Ransome is said to be the practically unanimous choice of the congregation of the Fourth Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. R. V. Peyton's residence in Washington Park has been renovated and refurbished by the Mt. Morlah Baptist Church at an approximate cost of $4,500.00. He is expected to take charge of the church some time in April. Deacon S. P. Brown, formerly of this city, but now residing in Boston is reported as being indisposed. His daughter, Mrs. Beresenia Nash is in a hospital there. His son, W. E. Brown witted Richmond recently, and is looking well. Miss Mary Davis, efficient clerk of the Southern Aid Society, who has been indisposed for the past two weeks, is convalescing. Mr. Thomas Berry, of 210 E. 17th Street, Southside, who has been sick for the past two weeks, is convalescing. Mrs. Lelia Baker Carter, who underwent a serious operation at the Retreat for the Sick, has improved sufficiently to be moved to the residence of Mrs. Lelia Williams Bankett, 626 N Fourth Street, where she will be pleased to see her many friends. Miss Hulda Carter, who has been at the bedside of her mother, Mrs. Lelia Baker Carter, has resumed her studies at the V. N I I. Miss Helen Cephas, who teaches at Harrisonburg, Va. was in the city to attend the funeral of Mrs. Alma Ellis Brockington. Mrs. Alice (Timmie) Gray, who has been quite indisposed is much improved.

CROSSING (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) John Henry Adams, married, who resides at 1301 N. 30th Street was killed and W. Benjamin Cephas, who lives about seven miles from this city on the Mechanicsville Turnpike was seriously injured when a southbound R. F. and P. train enroute to Richmond, struck the Ford coupe in which they were riding, as it was crossing the railroad tracks at Glen Allen, about ten miles from this city. The accident occurred Thursday afternoon, at about six o'clock. THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENT Adam's body was turned over to Funeral Director Robert C. Scott, who prepared it for burial. The funeral services will be conducted from the Hanover Baptist Church. In Hanover County, Rev. Samuel Allen assisted by Rev. Brown will have charge. Mrs. Lucinda J. Carter, who called at The Planet office last Friday to pay her subscription, stated that her son, Elven was porter at the Glen Allen station and saw the accident. He stated that the driver of the car seemed to have gotten confused DELAYED TOO LONG He was trying to get the car off the track, when if he had left the car at once, the car only would have been demolished and the occupants uninjured. Learning that Benjamin Cebhas was at the Retreat for the Sick, the services of William Isaac Johnson's Sons were enlisted and the Packard belonging to "Babie" Johnson placed at our service with Chaufeur Richard Carter in charge. Arriving at the hospital, a polite attendant directed me to the ward where Cebhas was lying. CEPHAS' STORY He recognized me at once and readily replied, to questions, although at times, he seemed in muth pain. He is a large portly man of light brown complexion. He had a bandage on his lower lip. He said, "My name is William Benjamin Cephas, but I am called Benjamin Cephas. I live on the Mechanicsville Turnpike in Hanover County. I live in my home and went to my cousin's house. His name is John Adams. He lives on the cogener of 30th and S Streets. We left there Thursday at about 12 o'clock in the day to visit my sister in Hanover County, near Glen Allen. FOUND HIMSELE IN HOSPITAL. "We were returning home about dusk when we reached the railroad crossing. I was driving a Ford coupe. I did not see or hear the train. You cannot see the train at this point, when it is coming from up the country anyway. I do not remember anything, only when I attempted to cross the track the train hit me. When I came to, I was living here." He asked about Adams. I told him he dead and he was much surprised. He said, "My sister told me he was not dead." I realized then that I should have evaded the question perhaps, as his sister evidently did not wish to shock him. He took it philosophically, however. TREATED ALL RIGHT Cephas said his ribs were broken, his back injured and his lower lip cut. When asked about his treatment at the hospital, his face brightened. "They are treating me all right here. I have a nurse every night. They give me everything I need. I am a widower and have no children. I own 75 acres of land in Hanover County." Leaving with him a copy of The Planet. I was soon back in the comfortable Packard and later in The Planet office. ARCH-FOE OF DIVORCE GETS SULPIT IN MOVIELAND JOHN B. HARRIS The Rev. George Dorn in a characteristic pulpit pose. A New Year Photograph An excellent new photograph of The President and Mrs. Coolidge taken on the White House steps New Year day. Mrs. Coolidge celebrated her 48th birthday on January 3. THE arch foe of divorce has gone to Hollywood to preach in the very front yard of the movie colony, where divorces are as common as flivers. And what's more, his new congregation is enthusiastic about his coming. He is the Rev. George Dorn, until recently associate pastor of Kountze Memorial Lutheran church, Omaha, Neb., largest Lutheran church in America. His new charge is Hollywood Lutheran church, which is just one block from Hollywood boulevard, where the much-divorced film stars promenade. A Wide Reputation Rev. Dorn has a reputation in Lutheran circles throughout America for the fight he has conducted on divorce. He is chairman of the Lutheran church's subcommittee on divorce, and is in line for the chairmanship of its committee on social and moral welfare. He is also the author of the "Dorn Divorce Code", which the Lutheran church is expected to adopt at its next general conference. This code would outlaw all grounds for divorce except infidelity, and would place restrictions on the remarriage of even the innocent parties in such dis fighter. He pressed his campaign for adoption of his code at the last Lutheran general conference; lost it, for the time being, and then renewed his fight with such vigor that it is now anticipated that he will win at the next conference When he received the invitation to become pastor of the Hollywood church he first investigated conditions there. He learned that a number of movie stars are members of the church and that children of several more are in the Sunday school So he promptly wrote out a complete statement of his views on marriage and divorce and sent them to the church officials "Those views are unalterable." he wrote. Does the invitation still stand? Accept His Views Quickly the church wired back. It does The new minister has just begun his new duties, and it is too early as yet to get the reaction of the film colony to his utterances. One thing however may be said with safety. He won't tone down or modify his sermons in the least through any fear of wounding any of his film parachioners. He just isn't that kind of preacher. THE RICHMOND PLANET.

State: "If the ordinary Eskimo child so long as we achieve the proper proportions of carbohydrates in his daily menu of fish, it is estimated he would have to eat upward of 600 fish, which is a physical impossibility. Because of their food shortcomings, Eskimo boys and girls are usually fitted with condiments that never satisfied. In the concentrate zone there is they no excuse for children suffering tirelessly from an enslaved dietary. Maintenance of good health is comparatively easy. Cereals, meats and fruits may be bought the year round at the corner grocer."

In fact, evaporated milk, none economists save is a more valuable food that ordinary bottled milk since it is twice as acid in minerals, but it contains preservatives.

Business is all right, with one exception. There is no money in it. Cold weather and whiskey used to go together. Warm weather and beer went the same way. No matter how the country votes, the bootlegger flourishes and the Prohibition officer is clamoring for more money. Colored people, as a rule, believe in religion—and the white folks. They have been taught this from the cradle. Young colored folks may be all right according to their way of thinking, but ultimately they will pay the price of their folly. The automobile remains popular for the reason that the women (God bless em) want it. The men of the nation are bending under the burden. To snakele progressive colored men to the dead carcass of ignorance as it exists in a large proportion of the masses of their own people, is not only a shame, but a crime. } The cry, "Put 'em in jail" has become a national anthem. The country is just awakening to the fact that, it costs the tax-payers much money to keep them in jail. moday to keep them in jail. The grave-yard is about the only place that a peacable citizen can secure the necessary rest from the worries of this life. But who wants to go to a grave-yard? It was P. T. Barnum, the great showman, who said the American people like to be humbugged. Then he proceeded to prove it. He turished the humbuggery and he got the money. Mr. John G. Kolbe, the well-known dealer, sent out one of the best and most useful Holiday gifts to his customers and friends that we have seen. It consists of a safety razor with an attachment thereto for the sharpening of the blades. We wish him long life and much prosperity. It was President Theodore Roosevelt who demanded and secured a system of government inspection of meat. The price of meat for the poor man went up and the quality went the same way. Then the quality came down and the price of meat and inspection stayed up, and the people of this country are annually paying the bill In the report of the case of the convict that Attorney R. Thomas Newsome and Attorney Thoroughgood appeared for the defense in the Circuit Court of this city, our attention has been called to an inadvertent error in accrediting to Commonwealth's Attorney Dave E. Satterfield the responsibility for asking for the electrification of the prison at the bar. A friend of the official adresses us that while he did not consent to a plea of life imprison onment, which the defense agreed to accept before the trial, he plainly seated to the jury that he would not ask for the death penalty, but would leave the matter entirely in the hands of the jury to decide. We received during the Holidays a most attractive "The Season's Greetings" folder from Marcus Garvey, the famous West Indian leader, who is now incarcerated in the Atlanta, Ga. penitentiary. He wrote in his well-known chirography, "Mr. John Mitchell," while the word of the folder is as follows: "To greet you most heartily at this Holiday Season and to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Marcus Garvey." What a cheerless surrounding for this wonderful man! Eugene V. Debs, the remarkable Socialist, who lived fifty years ahead of his time and finally sank in his grave to rest while his "soul goes marching on," was subjected to similar treatment. We have always been deeply affected by this imprisonment of Garvey. If he believes that he is right and even to us he should appear to be wrong, we should respect his convictions and not either prosecute or pursue him. Still, there are inherent spiritual powers that buoy him up even as it has been operating upon Mahatma Gandhi, the great Indian leader in Asia. A verse from Clarence Mackey's celebrated poem, "Eternal Justice" fitly expresses our feelings in the premises: "Pace through thy cell, old Socrates, Cheerlily to and fro; Trust to the impulse of thy soul And let the poison flow. They may shatter to earth the lamp of clay That holds a light divine, But they cannot quench the power of thought By any such deadly wine. They cannot blot the spoken words From the memory of man. By all the poison ever was brewed Since time its course began. Today, abhorred, tomorrow, adored, So round and round we run. And ever the truth comes uppermost And ever is justice done." It would be well for our friends in the North to note the embarrassments, handicaps and down-right opposition faced and dealt with by the liberal, justice-loving elements of the white people in this section of the country. Recently a united system of street cars and buses was put into operation with a view to benefiting, cheapening and serving all of the people in this community. Some of the chaufeurs on the buses for one cause or another had the habit of failing to see a colored patron signalling a bus on a street corner, although where the transfer system was in vogue, they were bound to afford service. Some one wrote a letter to the Richmond. Va. News-Leader concerning these conditions and this fearless publication stated that it would take cognizance of such interactions of the law, although the complainant could lay the matter before the State Corporation Commission which lotty would see to it that the company furnished the service. The answer logically would be that the buses, operating under the law are there for you, and if you do not abuse to take advantage of the service, it is your fault. The writer says: "Editor The News Leader: "Sir—Since when have the bus drivers been made to stop for Negro passengers?" The buses have been running here in Richmond now for some time, and I have never seen a Negro to stop one or one riding in a bus yet. Isn't there anything in this city that the white people can have for their own use anymore? The one man cars are so much traveled by the Negroes that more than half of the car is often taken up by them, and I have seen white people, both men and women standing, and still the motorman will stop to take on colored passengers, knowing they will have to push through to the back of the car and most of the time, they carry large bundles and are in their soiled working clothes. "Now you say, if the bus driver doesn't stop for them, report it to you. May I ask, if the News Leader has any business interest in any way with the bus line being run here now?" "I only hope that if this is going to be the rule here now that the white people will give up the bus line that takes the Negro on. If the Leader is so much for the colored people here, let them now put on a bus line just for them. There is a Negro taxi company run here by them, just as they had the old linen line that they ran themselves for their own people. "If this 'Employer,' that lives on the Chamberlayne and the Hermitage line wants the colored passengers to ride on that line, I am sure it will be the only line that will ask for such a service. But that, of course, is up to the people on the Northside to fight out for the nearest area, but as many of them hope the old bus line will stick to white people only for their passengers. "M. B. L.

As a matter of fact, it is those white people who employ colored servants and who wish to provide a means for them to get to their homes in time to prepare their meals and to do house work, that are really most interested in having colored folks accommodated upon these means of transportation. The one man cars are patronized for this reason. Labor is scarce in this country and efficient laborers scarcer. Porters in stores, dish-washers in hote's, stevedores, who handle the freight are all on a rush to do white 'folks' work, but this individual is so short-sighted that in order to satisfy an unreasonable prejudice, he would bar them from even the one man street cars or complain because they use them as means to get to their work at the minimum cost to themselves. The writer wants to know if the News Leader has any business interest in the line. Every member of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce has such an interest, for the reason that the prosperity of this community and the increase in its revenues are due to this very service, which is being rendered by the laboring elements, be they white or black. To argue and work against a laboring man, white or colored, is to block the wheels of financial progress and to retard the advancement of this community. If loafers, be they white or black, gray or grizzled, filled up these one-man street cars to the exclusion of the laboring classes there would be just cause for complaint. As a matter of fact an efficient laborer pays In addition to its containing a graphic account of the War, includes many chapters on subjects of vital interest. Following are a few of the subjects treated; The Flash that Set the World Alame; Why Americans Entered the War—The Things that Made Men Mad—The Sinking Submarine—The Eyes of Battle—War's Strange Devices—Wonderful War Weapons—The World's Armies—The World's Navies—The Nations at War—Modern War Method—Women and the War. A volume of general information upon all subjects which have their bearing upon the World Conflict, as well as an authentic account of the Great World War. The Book also includes the following subjects: The Horrors and Wonders of Modern Warfare, The Barbary and Merciless Methods Employed to Satisfy the Ambitions of the Kaiser and His Imperial Government. The Ruthless Submarine Warfare Waged to Starve England and France Into Submission. The Story of the Hardships and Horrors which the Belgians and French were Compelled to Suffer. The Billions of Dollars Required to Carry on the Awful Struggle. The Terrible Loss of Human Life and the Desolation of Countries. The Weird and Wonderful Methods of Warfare. The New and Strange Devices that have come into being. The great "tanks", the hiltps", the submarine, the gas and poison bombs, and the marvels of science Things about which you may never have heard. Marvelous guns that shot for miles. Feudal and Medieval weapons that again came into play. The plans of the Hohencollers to create a World Empira, which drew upon them the wrath of Nations. The Nations Involved. The Armies and Navies and what they Represented in Man and Equipment. This Great Book tells all about the Negro Everywhere in the World War. How Did His Duty In every capacity—from right up in the Front Line Trenches and on the Battlefields—Clear Back to the Work of Keeping the Home Flires Burning; On the Farms; In the Mills and Manition Plants; On the Rails roads and Steamships; In the Ship Yards and Factories. Men and Women with the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C.

Many striking test- his own salary, earns a profit for his employer and adds to the taxable values of the community, thereby increasing the wealth of the whole section in which he lives. This Negro-hater would have a bus line for the white people, who object to riding in a coach, or in a bus, in which the colored people are segregated. There is such a service here now. All that is necessary is for this individual to 'phone the Yellow Cab Company's office and enough of those cabs will be available along any route this person may desire. Five persons can ride all to themselves for the price of one. This brings the cost down to about nine cents per mile. There will be no stopping for passengers and this individual can bask in his own prejudices, while the world goes moving on. It is the irony of fate to sav that the colored taxi company will furnish a similar service at a flat rate and the cars will be on hand, for even a person of this Negro-haters type. A smiling Negro chauffeur will be at his beck and call, provided he pays the amount before he enters the taxi and not have any risk as to a dispute on the amount due when he leaves the car. Cars exclusively for white folks, during the time of service? They are here and if there are any "fool colored folks" who want a similar service on account of their antipathy for white folks, then they can be accommodated in kind. We are pleased to observe that there are none of the latter kind in this community, although it may appear from this writer's own admission that they have shown an antipathy to patronizing the buses now in operation here. Selah. 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, ad dressed to the famiows "Buffaloes," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of Ameri can 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 predict 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 out-come". 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 Gallil—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 Wet Book published that thrillingly, grapecally, 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 surrors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublimé self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.

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.

CHRISTIANITY A FAILURE? Dr. Work, Secretary of the Interior, says of the 1927 outlook "There is not a single distress sign on the whole economic horizon." Secretary Work doesn't sit at his desk, guessing. He travels over the country constantly, studying opportunities for national improvement. He knows conditions, and his opinion is important and encouraging. Should millions of women read of the death of Sr Oliver Lodge, Marconi, Millikin and a dozen other great scientists the majority would say, "That's too bad," and be not much interested. Every one of millions will be interested to hear that Jean Phillipe Worth, the famous dressmaker, has gone to a land where there is no sewing. His house dressed queens and empresses of state and finance, also young ladies with whom their sons ran around in Paris. His word meant more in real authority to the world's women than all the decisions of a thousand high judges. Be patient with static, when it interferes with jazz music or prize fight news coming sweetly over your radio. Professor Pupin, of Columbia College, says static and "fading," enemies of radio enthusiasts, really indicate that other planets are trying to talk to us. They send powerful messages that interfere with our feeble radio, and Pupin thinks we shall understand those messages within twenty-five years. Our age listens indifferently to that news, but no man can exaggerate its importance. LAQH, FRANCE, NEAR THE SITE OF THE BIG BERTHA SHAKESPEARE'S HOUSE, STRATFORD-ON-AVON England, Holland, Belgium and France are the popular countries for collegiate tours during the summer of 1926 and the St. Lawrence route seems to be the popular short route for many students. The idea of being able to cross the ocean and get back home again at the price usually paid for one way, to be the necessary inducement to college people, and according to the Art Crafts Guild, Chicago, which is organizing these tours in connection with the Canadian Pacific, bookings are much ahead of last year. No one should attempt to see Europe without a background of England. The experienced travelers arranging the collegiate tours realistic this, and a plan a week visiting Oxford, the great intellectual centre, Stoke Poges and other bits of rural England, London, essex or interest historical and with many nooks and counties filled with the ghosts of famous literary personages! Francis comes next to England in popularity with college folks. Some there are who become so If planets millions of years older than our earth could tell us what they know, our science might jump ahead as rapidly as a child advances in knowledge after it has learned to talk and read. We light little bonfires, heat steam, and thus obtain power. Mars might teach us to harness the power of the sun, and transmit energy without wires, which would no away with engines or fuel on flying machines, and give us unlimited power. It is said that in this country there is more commercial "flying mileage" than in any other. For that thanks are due to President Coolidge and Postmaster General New, who have encouraged air mail routes. But flying back and forth by mail carriers, most desirable, does not mean building up national air defense. And for our commercial flying we depend on private initiative, citizens building planes that will "get by" and enable them to make money carrying mail. That isn't a Government programme for promoting aviation. Clergymen are protesting against the abbreviated "Xmas," which reduces the name of Christ to "X". The abbreviation is disrespectful to the most beautiful word in history, and it is disrespectful to the English language. Anybody who was in too much of a hurry to write out "Christmas" should not use the word. Wise men in Milwaukee will devote three days to discussing high questions, including this, "Can Christianity be of any paralectical use in changing existing conditions?" Christianity has been changing existing conditions for about nineteen hundred years, there is no reason why it should break down now. To "love thy neighbor as thyself," trying to help him, instead of trying to rob him, will always improve conditions if men mean it. Another suggestion before Congress is to forbid experiment with an scientific study of poison gases. The peak of absurdity is to suggest that we must not KNOW about poison gases. Can we not trust ourselves. Is it not idiocy to say that our scientists shall not keep this country informed about important warlike weapons?

But there are others to whom the somewhat superficial atmosphere of the chic Paris is less attractive than the wooden shoes and quain' caps and flaxen braids of the Hollandaise. Very few in America have not some keen personal interest in the battle areas of France and Belgium, and so most of the collegiate tours embrace an extensive motor trip through Belleau Wood, Chateau Thierry, Soissons, Senlis, and Rheims. The idea of the collegiate tours by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. "Keep the feet warm, the head cool, and, the bowels open." I was told by the old college professor, that strict obedience to this command would insure a healthy body, at all times. I can think of at least fifty serious disorders, including fatal disease of the kidneys, and dangerous liver disorders, that have their origin in constipation. From ordinary auto-intoxication we go from bad to worse; the kidneys break down in their futile attempts to carry away the body-poisons; the gallbladder becomes infected; the stomach rebels; the blood becomes more vitiated; the heart finally weakens dangerously,—and all because of neglected bowels. A stitch in time is worth nine applied too late. The question of cold feet is increasingly evident in these winter days. The low-pattern shoe is the correct thing in fashion; but I am yet unconvinced that the low shoe is not a shortener of life, and I know it is a menace to health; especially for women. The silk stocking, the "goose pimples" beneath and the congested lung make the thoughtful physician wonder if the added attractiveness is worth the price! Light head dressing should be worn, summer or winter. Tight-fitting hats are conducive to bald heads, which are perhaps minor effects of head-wrapping; both scalp and face are freshened and invigorated by contact with winter air. The idea of enveloping the neck and head in fur and feathers, and the lower third of the person in thin silk, carries little appeal from the healthy race standpoint. Next Week LUMPS is rapidly becoming an accepted thing. At first, to travel third class did not appeal even to the enthusiastic graduate unable to do travel without a substantial reduction in even the second class fares. But, realizing the increasing numbers of professional people willing to travel at reduced rates, the steamship companies inaugurated the tourist third rate, put rugs on bare stateroom floors, revised the menus to suit American tastes instead of foreign, and the result was that students and professors last year hobbled with each other below decks. This year ever increasing numbers will follow the example set by the venturesome ones of last year. THE RIGHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page Too Much Efficiency Al Smith's Birthday Cake THE CAPITOL BUILDING It may have been more coincidence, and then again it may not—but Chef Ryolchi Hida, in making a birthday cake for Governor Al Smith of New York, modelled it after the national capitol. The cake weighed 250 pounds. BEGIN HERE TODAY JOHN W. BROOKE, widower and farmer Constance, Billy and Alice, has been away for several weeks and is now managing of efficiency experts to manage his home. He returns unexpectedly to finish his Fair with lights, strange servants in attendance and strange guests Constance to H. Hedge, the zinn who is supposed to be running his household on an economic basis. He tells the butter at the door that he is the owner of the place and is held captive reading the arrival of the police. Hedge, who has never met Brooke, tells Constance about the door to the house, and from a description by Hedge she assures him that the supposed lunatic is undoubtedly her father. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY THIS was his day of reckoning; this the hour for him to render an account of his stewardship. He made a swift survey of the revelers about him and of the glories that had been achieved by dollars. Then, setting his shoulders stiffly, he followed Constance into the hall. He found her hugging the lunatic. "What in Sam Hill has struck this place?" demanded John W. Brooke, after submitting to the enthusiastic salutations of his daughter. "Who are these servants here? What do they mean by throwing me out of my house?" "They didn't know you, father," said Constance soothingly. "But what are they doing here? And who are all these people?" "We're giving a party, father dear." "A party? What for?" "Why—just for fun," faltered Constance. Mr. Brooke surveyed the unexamplied richness of his environment and fastened a steely blue glance upon his daughter. "So it's a party, is it? That's a fine way to welcome your father home—lugging several hundred people into my house with a strange gang of servants." "But, father, dear, we didn't expect you. Not for ever so long. You see, it's nowhere near the 19th of February. It's only a little after New Year's." Constance was infinitely more nervous than was her wont, even with John W. Brooke in a tantrum. "So!" he barked. "Just because I come home unexpectedly I catch you at it, do? And you call this a party! I call it a riot." Constance cast a nervous glance at H. Hedge, who was a pace in the background. "Do you know what they did to me?" demanded Mr. Brooke. "They led me into the library, before I knew what was happening, and some flossy little pony in pink dress tried to get me to dance. Me! And when I told them I was boss here they sent for a couple of strong arms and tried to pitch me out of my own house. "In W. Brooke, still garbed in hat and overcoat, paused, panting. "Where's Alice?" he demanded. "In bed?" Constance shook her head faintly. Alice was dancing somewhere, reveling in new-found liberty. "Where's Bill?" "Oh, he's around somewhere. Shall I call him?" Mr. Brooke made a gesture of disgust. "None of my children at the door to meet me," he declaimed angrily. "Nobody but a pack of strangers—and a party!" "You're® looking awfully well father," said Constance soothingly. "You look younger." "Cut it out!" he commanded per- emptily. "I've heard that stuff be fore. I don't look awfully well, and I'm not younger. Do you hear? I'm older, by several weeks. And I feel sick." "Father!" "Sick of all this tomfooley, I mean, I came back, looking for a quiet life, and I might as well have butted into a Coney Island mardi gras." "I Hedge stepped forward. Please consider that the party is in honor of your homecoming," he said. "A sort of house-warming." John W. Brooke turned a baleful glare in the direction of the speaker. He placed his hands on his hips and looked at the speaker. Studied H. Hedges from head to feet. 12 J. SEON "Engagement! You engaged?" "Who in blues are you?" he demanded. "This is Mr. Hedge, father," said Constance hurriedly. "Hedge? Why, that's the spotter who ordered these flankies to throw me out!" "Just a part of the surprise, Mr. Brooke," observed H. Hedge with a winning smile. "Of course we didn't really mean it, you know." The smile was lost upon the owner of the mansion. "Oh, didn't mean it!" he schooled aggressively. "Well, you wait till I get hold of the police and you'll find out whether I mean something. By jingo, there's a couple of cop names." "Two men in uniform had entered the bell." "Where's the nut?" asked the foremost. "Somebody 'phoned' they had an old party with an empty attic." H. Hedge stepped quickly forward and whispered to the officer. "Escaped, eh?" the policeman. "Which way did he go?" "Ran north a block, and then around the corner," answered Hedge briskly. "You may get him if you hurry." The two officers were retreating when Mr. Brooke broke loose from his daughter's grasp and ran after them. "Hey!" he cried. "If you're looking for a put, here's one." He pointed to H. Hedge. "Lock him up!" he cried. "He tried to throw me out of my own Maybe he's a burglar, too. Constance interceded hurriedly "Father! Now, don't make a about things. You don't understand at all. Send those officers away and then let me explain." "I don't intend to have that man in my house one minute longer." stormed Mr. Brooke. "And I am going to clear out the whole crowd, too. Sister! Officers, please go away. I am Miss Brooke, and every thing is all right. My father doesn't understand the situation yet." "You bet I don't!" "Come, father we're going into the library to have a talk." "The library's full of manies dancing, beloved John W Brooke. Then we'll go upstairs in your rooms. Come now, like a dear old daddy." Mr. Brooke suffered himself to be led upstairs, and the policemen, at a peremptory sign from H Hedge, departed. The sitting-room of John W. Brooke presented a normal appearance to his eyes, but when he stepped into the bedroom he stopped short. "Who owns those pants?" he demanded, pointing to a garment hanging over the back of a chair. "What are those neckties? Those are not my hair-brushes. What the devil, Connie—" Constance, who had been following, hesitated. "And say, where's the man in charge of this house?" demanded her father, suddenly remembering. "I'm the man," said the voice of H. Hedge, who had also followed up stairs. Brooke wheeled upon him when he fell. "You!" "That is, I was until this morning. I sent in my resignation." H. Hedge was calm and still smiling. "You want me to understand that you're the man sent here by the Economy and Efficiency people?" "There are my credentials. You signed them," said Hedge, placidly, exhibiting the document. Mr. Brooke swallowed once or twice as he glared at the paper. "And is this the way you've been running my house?" "No; not the way I did run it. But, as I said, I quit running it this long; that is running it on that plan." "Are you running this shindig downstairs?" inquired Mr. Brooke conculously. "I was—for a time. But it's running itself very nicely now." "He run the house beautifully, father," said Constance nervously. "Truly." "H. Hedge grinned at her." "Well, by the eternal!" exploded John W. Brooke. "I hired a man to run this house on the basis of economy, and I got a guarantee with it. And I come home to find myself in suited and thrown out, with a lot of strange servants on the place and my money being spent as if I was the government treasury. Where do I come in? What does it all mean? That's what I want to know. Who authorized this blowout?" "Oh. I authorized it," said Hedge Hippe. "And organized it. It's a sort of double-barreled affair, you see. On one hand, it's a surprise party for you, sir." "And that's no lie!" boomed Mr. Brooke. "On the other hand, it celebrates the announcement of your daughter's engagement." John W. Brooke turned purple and whirled upon his daughter. "Engagement." You engaged?" Constance nodded and blushed. "Who in blazes to?" "Me," answered H Hedge. "Well, I'll be—" Mr. Brooke finished the sentence in a fit of choking that alarmed his daughter. "Engaged," he repeated dully, after he had recovered speech. "My daughter engaged—and to this thing here. Say, let's all go down to Belle vue and have our heads examined. Engaged, hey? W. Will, you're hurry disengaged; and as for you, young man, if you are not out of this house in thirty seconds you'll be disem-bodied."

AT FIFTH STREET. Last Sunday was a great day at Fifth Street Baptist Church. Sunday morning Dr. Morris preached on the meaning of the Lord's Coming—the first of a series of sermons on the Return of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The pageant given by Mrs. Mary E. Satterfield at night was witnessed by a full house and proved a success. Sunday, January the 16th, Dr. Morris will preach on "The Supreme Importance of the Lord's Coming to the Jews, to the Gentiles and to the Church—the Three Divisions in which the Whole Human Race is Divided." In the afternoon the pastor will preach a special sermon to the Deaconesses, showing how important this misunderstood office is in the church. This sermon will be preached specially for the deaconesses of Fifth Street of which board, Mrs. Cora Chiles is chairlady, Mrs. Ella Johnson, secretary, and all deaconesses of the entire city are invited to be present. Sunday night Dr. Morris begins a series of sermons on "Domestice Relations"—courtship, marriage, duties of parents to children and of children to parents, duties of brothers and sisters, including all relatives. Sunday is also the $2.00 rally day, second only to the great $10.00 rally in June to make the first annual payment of $7.000 on the building Fifth Street Church has rallied wonderfully and met practically all of her obligations up to the beginning of the New Year, proving false all of the alarming rumors that the people would never pay for their beautiful church building.

JOHNSON'S ESTIMATE. The funeral sermon was based upon Paul's energetic words, "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain," found in Philippians 1:21. After expressing his profound sympathy for the "mourning, grief-stricken, children, upon whose ears soon shall fall the unwelcome sound of tuneless cloaks, concealing forever from their mortal vision their beloved mother, and our sister and friend, Mrs. Agnes Johnson," the pastor declared in his own inimitable style that there is a bright side of the dark picture, Death, for every soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose, and in the very act of passing thru Death's iron gate the true born child of God gains an unconditional release from toll and suffering, absolute from sin his death, and an eternal from the beatific realms of many mansions, prepared by God's dear Son, in a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God, Closing hymn "O Holy Savior Friend Unseen."
