Carter Selected to Head Nation-wide Civic Organization RICHM David Civic Club Attorney Ja Falls Five Stories In a mixup in New York City, David Cephas, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Cephas, of this city, fell five stories down an elevator shaft fracturing his skull and otherwise injuring himself. As strange as it may seem he is not dead at this writing. His brother, Fred Cephas, hastened to New York to look after him. His aunt Mrs. Sylvia L. M. Scott of Montclair, N. J. visited the hospital and wired here that David Cephas' condition is critical. FIVE STORY JUMP FRACTURES SKULL. (New York Daily News) Said by police to have been rebuffed by a woman, David Cophas 27, colored, jumped five floors down an air shaft at 226 West 123rd St. early yesterday and was taken to Harlem Hospital suffering from a fractured skull. Police said a woman living in the building would not let him in. He had no New York address. GOVERNOR GREEN, A MAN OF RANE, ETHICAL CULTURE. LANSING, MICH. Feb. 16.—A sheriff from Georgia came up to Dept last week asking for a requisition for an alleged Negro criminal, whom he stated had committed murder in the State of Georgia ten years ago. The sheriff was not quite sure as to the identity of the alleged criminal but said that he thought that the Negro in question was the man wanted. The alleged criminal denied having ever lived in Georgia stating that his original home was in South Carolina and producing witnesses to his statement. He proved that his name, which had never been changed, was not the same as that of the man wanted. The Governor reviewed the case carefully conferring with the best legal minds of his official personnel in the matter. In reviewing the case, the lack of positive identity, the alleged criminal's attested denial of ever having lived in Georgia coupled with his ten subsequent years' excellent record as a citizen, constituted a preponderating weight of evidence in his favor. Governor Green, after an intensive review of the case refused the requisition and the Negro was re leased from custody. Attorney Robert J. Willis represented the defendant. The Governor's decision shows him to be an executive of rare ethical culture. By William Jennifer Director Bureau of Nero Welfare.) REV. GRAY'S TRIBUTE Philadelphia Pa., Feb. 15, 1927 Hon. John Mitchell, Jr. My dear Brother: The longer I live the more I can realizo the great help you have been to our race and we stand in need of a few more men of your type today. I was born in Manchester (South Richmond, Va.) and I know the stand you have taken along all lives for our people. Your works will live for ages after you shall have gone. I hope you are well.

To Whom It May Concern: The Independent Progressive Educational Association wishes to correct a certain false rumor that is being spread over the city by some individuals, who evidently desire to hurt the character and reputation of the Association. The rumor, which has reached the ears of the club, concerns an attack made on a group of students at a recent dance. It is being said that the attack was instigated by the I. P. E. A. The Association emphatically denies any knowledge of the affair and challenges any party or parties to prove that the club as such had any connection whatsoever with the affair. This Association is composed of the best young men in the city of Richmond, many of whom artend the same institution of learning as the attacked students. It is absurd to even think that young men of such high intellect would stoop to any such methods. The Association wishes that in the future some of the mothers of Richmond will not find it necessary to persuade other mothers not to allow their daughters to associate with boys that they have known ever since childhood. The rumor as far as the Association can ascertain, is being spread by a certain group of individuals who have some slight grievances against the Association. It is hoped that the serious minded people of Richmond will not take any notice of the malicious report that is being spread and that their sons would not do anything to harm their own sisters or their sisters' friends. THE LATE A. D. PRICE AND THE KEYS. Funeral Director A. D. Price Sr is gone, but his memory will last a "mighty long" time among those who came under the control of his iron will. Visiting there recently, we saw those same three feet iron rods, about a half inch in diameter. Many many years ago, he told us the history of these iron rods. Mr. Price had keys hanging up in the office to practically every door and gate on the place. While we were there an employee wanted a key to the back gate and he passed Mr. Price to get it. When he came out he had this three foo iron rod in his hand on the end of which was riveted a chain and one small Yale lock key. WHY IT WAS DONE An enquiry brought out the information. "You see, these men come in here to get the key. They some times lose them and then they forget and carry them off in their pockets. We have to wait until they come back or until the next morning. I had these iron rods made and when they get through with the key, they bring it back here rather than carry that rod around. Moreover, they can't put that rod in their pockets." There were just seven of these rods more than fifteen years ago. There are seven of them now. KNEW HIS BUSINESS. A. D. Price was an expert black smith and this accounts for his idea of safeguarding keys. Certainly, no where in this country will such a safeguarding device be found for the protection of keys. There was a twinkle in Mr. Price's eyes when he told his reason for this device. When he died an historic figure passed the way of all the earth. Send us $2.00 and let us mail The Planet to you. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1927. IS HUNTER ELECTRICAL DEALER ELVETERS DECORATION ACADEMY OF MUSIC BURNS DOWN. Fire was discovered in the historic Academy of Music building Saturday morning at about 4 o'clock. The colored watchman had stepped up the street to get a cup of coffee, just before the discovery. The Fire De parment arrived promptly upon the scene and the call was made for the entire force. After heroic efforts and with masterly skill, the flames were practically confined to the building, and its annex. The Federal Rev. Hancock Preaches. "Despite the inclementy of the weather Moore Street Baptist Church was well filled last Sunday morning, even the galleries being occupied. Rev Gordon B. Hancock had given notice that he would preside as the next subject in his series, "The Ministry of the Teacher." He took the position that no one should teach, who did not have an inherent love for that particular work. He was at his best and it was evident that he had devoted much time to the subject. LANGUAGE SUPERB His language was superb and his delivery excellent. He was evidently deeply imbued with his subject and he held the audience spellbound. Deacon Kyles asked for the collection, after which Madame Alverta Gilpin sang in her inimitable style a solo that thrilled those present. So deeply impressed were all pres- Reserve Bank building annex on the corner of 8th and Franklin Streets adjoins this structure. LARGE CROWDS. A fire escape leads on the outside from the gallery above. Gratification was expressed that the fire did not take place during the performances as large crowds have been patronizing the stock company under the directorship of Mr. James H. Doyle. ent that a special collection was lifted for her benefit. Rev. Hannock introduced Mr. Thomas of the National Urban League and he discoursed upon the many advantages of that great organization. EDITOR'S COMMENT Editor John Mitchell, Jr. concluded with a few remarks, congratulating the able pastor, his officers and the members generally upon the remarkable progress made there during recent years.

Greanor Neale is the owner of the structure and he has been the object of persistent questioning as to what use he will make of the vacant space, inasmuch as it is a foregone conclusion that the noted playhouse will not be rebuilt.

Mr. Clem Scott of 116 E. 18th Street, who has been sick for the past two weeks is convalescing. ferred to the Bijou Theatre on Broad Street, between Eighth and Ninth Streets. It is not generally known that this spot was occupied by The Planet more than 30 years ago. The structure was known as "The Old Swan Tavern." The Fire Department under Chief Joynes has been warmly praised by all who witnessed the wonderful work done in controlling this great conflagration. Rev. F. W. Quarles is still con-fined to his room at 318 E. Baker Street since January 20. He is improving under the treatment of Dr. C. A. Blanton, one of the best in the city. Mrs. Eliza A. L.

Harlem New York Hospital Movement organization The Civic Club Meets. The meeting of the Civic Club at 00 Clay Street last Wednesday night was a grand success. President James T. Carter presided and the presence of some leading white citizens was all the more astounding by the expressions of good will from that source. The exercises were greatly augmented by the presence of some of the colored leaders in Elkdom, who for some reason had gathered here evidently for a conference. The address of Attorney Armond W. Scott, of Washington, was the outstanding deliverance both from the standpoint of what he said and how he said it. MANY NOTABLES PRESENT. During a period of forty years, no such an expressive gathering felicitating the colored people and offering aid from the respective white groups has been seen in this city. Among those present were: Hon. Herbert W. Jackson, President of the Virginia Trust Co.; Dr. W. T. Sanger, President of the Medical College of Virginia, Judge J. Hoge Ricks, Prof. Jesse H. Binford, Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools, Mr. Thomas B. Howell, Mr. G. Jeter Jones, President of the First and Merchants National Bank, Mr. A. J. Crafts, Mr. Frank G. Louthain, Hon. T.

It is much easier to die than it is to live, but who wants to die? Women are all right. The trouble is with the men. If you don't believe it, ask any woman. President King was one man before the Firestone Rubber interests entered Liberia. He is quite another man since the golden stream commenced to flow into the wilds of his Republic. The policy now being pursued by this country in Nicaragua is identical with the policy followed in Panama and with the Columbian Government. We'll take both sites as a waterway, sovereignty or no sovereignty. If the white folks in this community act as they talked at the meeting to launch a Civic Club for colored folks, a new day is about to dawn for both races in this section of the country. Race journals tend to elevate the race. They speak for a class of people that need representation and who should be heard in speaking for themselves. The way things are going now, couples should be given monthly marriage certificates renewable, if desired by the contracting parties. Matrimony for life seems to have gone agilmerming in this country. The report of the Reed Committee and the Prentiss Commission proposing, radical, changes in the Constitution of Virginia will possess little interest for the colored folks. We have been unable to see that any of their fundamental interests are affected. As a whole, the two reports are on a high plane and will tend to correct many of the blunders made when the last Constitution was alleged to have been legally adopted. X. W. C. A.

It has pleased the Almighly God to send the Death Angel to the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Betts at 2:30 o'clock January 29, 1927, and take from them their adopted daughter, Malinda, whom they loved and cherished as their own child, bone of their bone and flesh of their flesh. When blooming youth is snatched away, By Death's resistless hand. Our hearts the mournful tribute pay Which pity must demand. While pity prompts the rising sigh, O may this truth impressed With awful power: I too must die— Sink deep in every breast! The voice of this scene Let every heart obey! Nor be the Heavenly warning valm, Which calls to watch and pray. It pleased our dear Heavenly Father to call from labor to reward the soul of our loved one, Sister Malinda, in her youth. She found the Lord at 12 years of age and joined the White Oak Grove Baptist Church and was a consistent mem ber. There is no need to discuss her life, for her life is a shining light. Her conduct as a Christian was exemplary, her living meant much to those with whom she came in contact. Really to know her was to love her. There is no unanswered question to little Malinda's life. It was an open book full of helpful paragraphs that all who run may read and be the better for the reading. She attended the Sabbath School and never shrunk from duty. She served as secretary of same and was at her post nearly every Sunday and when she was absent she always gave a reasonable answer. She leaves to mourn their loss, besides her adopted parents, one brother. Mr. John Keen, of Phila delphia. Pa.; one sister, Mrs. Edna Briggs South Boston. Va.; and a leving devoted adopted Mrs. Fanny Myers, of New York City, which was truly shown by her losing no time in hurrying home at the news of her death to pay the last tribute of respect, and also a host of relatives and friends. Therefore, Be It Resolved. That we bow in humble submission to Him who doeth all things well. Sleep on, little Malinda, take your rest; We loved you well, but God loved thee best. Signed: MRS. MARY E. GOODE. FIFTH ST. RAPTIST CHURCH Dr. Charles S. Morris. Past "The meek shall inherit the earth." Meekness in its real strength and power was brought home to us at the morning service by President W. J. Clark of Virginia Union University, as he spoke from the subject "Meekness" Matthew 5:5—11:29; Numbers 12:3. The pictures of this great principle standing out in strength power and service in the life of Moses, and then our Blessed Saviour, as painted by President Clark caused many minds to be enlightened as to our conception of "A meek man." Our pastor Dr. Charles S. Morris being somewhat indisposed, discon tinned his series of sermons for the day. Pray earnestly that he may be back to normal condition Sunday. February the 27th when he shall take up his subjects as announced; in the morning, "The Greatest Mar riare the Universe Has Ever Known, Will You Be A Part of the Bride"? 8:00 P. M. "The Duty of the Hus band to the Wife and the Duty of the Wife to the Husband" 3:30 P. M. "The Lord's Supper and fellow ship of new members." A packed house witnessed the joint program for the Richmond Hospital and our church building fund at 8:30. The program was rich and inspiring. While charmed by the melodious relections rendered by Prof. E. H. Cosby in his organ recessal and Mr. Martinstein, basso, (both of All Saints Episcopal Church) our minds traveled with the poet who said, "The soul of music slumbers in the shell, 'Till waked and kindled by the master's spell. And feeling hearts—touch them but rightly—pour A thousand melodies unheard before." Miss Esther Morris, youthful daughter of our pastor, lectured on "Why Jesus Left Heaven." The audience was held spellbound while this talented young girl delivered her message with the eloquence of a genius. Mrs. Lucy B. Lewis was mistress of ceremonies and each number of the program carried with it charms of its own. The day closed with a sermon by Rev. DeSylvia at 8:00 P. M. Dr. Morris, while taking special interest in the young life of the church has had a radio installed in the Sunday School. Stereo pictures on the Life of Christ are shown at the Junior Prayer Meeting each Friday night. A group of one hundred or more children now under the tutelage of Mr Joseph Mathews (that master music director) will appear before the public soon, singing praises to our King. If you want to understand the Bible, a special invitation is extended ed you to attend our Bible Class from 7:30 to 8:30 on Wednesday night of each week and be instructed by Dr. Morris. Plans are now being made to launch a Building Fund Fully the fourth Sunday in March. We are earnestly asking every member and friend to do their very best to help us pass the crisis which we must face for the next five months, after which we will have mastered the heaviest part of our obligations. -M T.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RIJHMOND' VIRGINIA Best For Weak Back Are you suffering from the misery of a lame aching back? You can get almost instant relief by putting on a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. It warms soothes and sup ports the weak back, and gently massages the tissues with every movement of the body, thus helping to restore proper circulation and normal strength. Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster brings amazingly quick results because the medication penetrates straight thru the skin to the affected parts—pain goes, soreness leaves, power returns almost immediately. Just go to any drug store and ask for Johnson's the big Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. SHEPHERD NOTES: Plans for the big public installation of the officers of the Folds of Richmond and Vicinity of the Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem are taking form fast. This meeting will be held at the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church, the first Thursday night in March. The principal addresses will be delivered by Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes our Grand Presiding Shepherd; Rev. A. W. Brown Pastor of Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church and Lawyer James T. Carter, Grand Legal Adviser of the Order. The membership drive will be closed at this meeting by our Grand Recording Secretary, Mrs. Mary E: Cousins, Captain of the Blues and Mr. A. C. Clark, Captain of the Reds. Considerable activity and interest are being manifested by both sides, the outcome of the cam paign at the present time is a matter of conjecture both sides are claiming the victory. Preparation is being made for the big spring entertainment styled and known as the "Opening of King Tut's Tomb." Th' will take place at Armstrong High School Auditorium on the 4th, 5th, 6th and 6th of April. Mrs. Stokes our Grand Presiding Shepherd is sparing no pain to make this one of the most elaborate entertainments Richmond has ever witnessed. Susie J. Williams Fold and the Sojourner Truth Fold held vary in testing meetings February 21st. The Shepherd's Band was present with Susie J. Williams Fold and gave them a brief concert which was highly entertaining and enjoyed very much by the members of the Folds. Professor Benjamin Prosser deserves great credit for the rapid strides that this band has made under his leadership during its short period of existence. Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, Grand Presiding Shepherd was called to Baltimore on the 19th to address a club of Federated Women of that city. Mrs. Frances J. Dias, one of our traveling deputies left on the 23rd for Baltimore to overlook the work of the Order there. SORE LEGS HEALED Open Legs, Ulcers, Enlarged Veins. Goiter. Eczema healed while you work.

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 so get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, in twenty-four hours after using his medicines. I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pot. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE, Mr. L. J. Hayden, 224 West Broad Street, Richmond, Va OFFICES FOR RENT.

Man and Wife Make Houses From Sea Shells in Unique Livelihood; Start New Industry From Florida Beaches ```markdown ``` This Week By Arthur Brisbane ABOUT THIRD TERM. DECENCY HERE AND THERE. SHAW'S BABY PRICE. SPIRAL, NOT JAGGED. There is no question of a third term for a man who has only been nominated and elected once. If not President Coolidge, WHO for the Republicans? That question interests Washington. Three names interesting the wise are Secretary Mellon, Secretary Hoover and Frank Lowden, of Illinois. Secretary Mellon, older than the two others, is young enough to manage admirably after-the-war finances for this nation and to work nine hours a day at his office. Herbert Hoover has worked like a slave on development of national resources, including the Boulder Dam and waterways from the Great Lakes to the ocean and the gulf. The country appreciates that. Governor Lowden, a practical farmer, has millions of farmers with him. But the main question is: Does President Coolidge want the nomination. If he does, it is his. Montana's Senate last week voted in favor of the Constitutional Amendment against Child Labor. The amendment may be lost, child labor being profitable, and profits hard to give up. But it is comforting to see decency here and there. In the end, of course, the amendment would help every State, just as the end of slavery helped all—including States that had the greatest sacrifices to make. Child labor cheats grown man and women of work and cheats the next generation of its chance in life, to say nothing of mocking Child warning, "Their angels do ally hold the face of my ft which is in Heaven." Child sends oler little angels to verify that sort St. Augustine, FL.—While a blainindustry has risen on the East Coast of Florida in the manufacture of hollow tile, house foundations, urns and ornamental fences using the abundant native materials, and producing articles which are earlier demanded in other streets, the first man in the world to use sea shells for use in home construction is J. A. Reyes of St. Augustine. Blocks hard as granite are being made by Mr. Reyes from conna shells taken from the beach shells on Anastasia Island. Two other constituents, sand and cement go into the making of this new brick. It is formed by a demix process and after seven years it becomes as hard as natural rock. Mr. Reyes says: "It will not discolor, crack or crumble and only costs about seventeen cents". This new business has interested many others along the East Coast of Florida and promises to develop into an industry that will have a market nation wide. At various centers along the coast one may see the new plants with hundreds of coquina blocks piled high in front ready for shipment to other parts of the state. But to Mr. Reyes goes the credit of starting and giving impetus to the movement. Forty-one years ago he carried sand and coquina shells across Mantanzas Bay in a little row boat. In the back yard of his home his wife helped him working, until one in the morning, making the bricks. She held a lantern while he mixed the sand, cement and shell; poured it into a mold, compressed it and took out the block to dry. Next day he delivered as many blocks as he could carry on his bicycle to his customers in St. Augustine. He has two sons and two daughters who help him. Small trucks now carry the sea shells over the Anastasia Island bridge and a new type of machine compresses a brick in minutes. In the 41 years has been in business Mr. Reyes has bought out 23 competitors who sensed the ready market for Florida sea shell bricks. At this writing six companies have purchased his 21th. He owns four stores and six apartments, including a soda fountain, drug store, grocery store, hardware store and a restaurant He is located at his second plant. He has not confined his efforts to the making of bricks from sea shells alone. Beautiful pottery is another of his products and, too typical of Florida. They are designed by Mrs. Reyes, expressly for garden use and find a market MR. & MRS. JAREYES & PART OF THEIR FAMILY COQUINA BRICKS FLORIDA MADE POTTERY THE BUSY BACK YARD OF MR. REYES IN ST AUGUSTINE There are fine women in America. A year ago Mrs. Myrine Huddleston, of California, took up swimming "to reduce." Last week she swam the Catalina Channel, her eleven-year-old boy crying out to her, "Come on, Mamma, don't give up." When she finished the swim, the thirty-year-old mother was delirious, partly paralyzed and had been bitten four times by aarge barracuda. Too bad that such a woman should waste her marvelous vitality on a battle that pleases the morbid but does no good. The nation could afford to pay her to have twenty-one children instead of swimming twenty-one miles in icy water. Bernard Shaw says mothers should be paid for having children and adds, "I would not have a baby for less than $10,000." He underestimates it. If he were a woman, with only a man's courage, and had had ONE baby, he wouldn't have another one for a million dollars. France builds dozens of tiny airplanes, smallest in the world; every French submarine will carry one. One of these submarine airplanes rose from the water nine seconds after the submarine reached the surface, went up 2,000 feet, descended and went aboard the submarine again. A fleet of submarines coming up near a big city, discharging its swarm of mosquito-like airplanes, each carrying its gas or explosive bomb, could make the next war interesting. The "jagged" lightning, making "sparks" in the sky is not jagged at all, Mr. Legg, Westinghouse engineer, shows with photographs 150 times faster than motion picture cameras, that the lightning bolt is a spiral. That interests those who know that the spiral, as opposed to the circle, is the emblem of progress. Our earth, accompanying the sun in its journey through space, travels ahead toward the star Vega, going around it, following it takes a spiral course. You are many billions of miles from the spot in the universe where you were born, and probably never will go back. Don't neglect cold, but don't be panic-stealing when told that Europe's influenza epidemic may come here.

It is THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. HOUSEHOLD REMEDIES Beyond the question of a doubt, there are many old-fashioned methods of dealing with acute diseases that should be perpetuated. Water applied externally will reduce fever temporarily, and will contribute much to the patient's comfort, if applied with judgment. It should be applied warm — sponging — unless the physician is present and orders otherwise; it is free from depressing effect, which cannot always be said of drugs that reduce fever. Mustard plasters should be kept in the home, or at least the material for making them. By irritating the skin, we may partially empty a congested or inflamed part beneath, thus relieving pain. The surface should be vigorously redened to secure the best results. The "fly-blister", once a family measure, should be dismissed as a household resource; it might do exceeding harm. Castor oil is almost too well known to mention—a very valuable agent, and should be kept in every home. I may say here that I have found it an excellent application to the skin in irritations that do not heal easily. It has cured cases for me—one a badly fractured lip wherein the patient and the physician suspected cancer; the doctor had applied cautions to kill the ting, thus keeping up the "anar" in it; a week's constant application of pure censor oil ensured. Turpentine, in these cases of kidney-disease, should never be applied or given internally without the physician's advice. I once saw a fatal ending in a Bright's disease case, twenty hours after taking a dose of turpentine on sugar "to simulate the kidneys." Turpentine is a valuable household remedy, but in dangerous, if used ignorantly. Shells in Unique m Florida Beaches COQUINA BRICKS FLORIDA MADE POTTERY BUSY BACK YARD OF REYES IN ST.

SALMON In the waters around Vancouver Island, grilse fishing is popular WHAT EVERY MOTHER KNOWS THAT UTTERLY HOPELESS FEELING — WHEN YOU'VE DARNED SOCKS AND DARNED AND DARNED — AND MISDEED VARIOUS AND SUNDRY UNMENTIONABLES AND PATCHED PANTS AND TURNED SHIRT CURLS AND EVERYTHING AND SEWED ON BUTTONS AND SO ON AND SO ON UNTIL YOU'RE BLUE IN THE FACE — AND THE FAMILY MENDING, INSTEAD OF BECOMING SMALLER, SEEMS TO GET BIGGER. AND BIGGER AND BIGGER! Vancouver Island, on the Pacific coast of Canada, is one of the few places where the angler can fish every day throughout the year. If he is wise, he goes to Victoria and makes that his headquarters, and after arming himself with the necessary local information he settles down to enjoy the grille fishing. Grille are the young salmon on their first return to salt water and vary in size from a foot and a half to three feet in length and in weight from three to five pounds, according to the season of the year. They are lively fish, and good fighters, and grille fishing ranks as one of the most thrilling forms of the angler's art. In the waters around Vancouver Island, grilse fishing is popular from October to May. Many people troll with a brass, silver or nickel spoon or spinner on a light line with a few ounces of lead. Others use worms behind a four or five-inch Cowichan spoon, and some get the best of sport with a light rod and fly. Grilse fight with all the vigor and persistence of the full-grown salmon, and they are caught in all parts of the sea lying between Vancouver Island and the mainland. One of the best localities for this sport lies between Cowichan Bay, Mill Bay and Brentwood, and Brentwood is only eleven miles from Victoria, the provincial capital of British Columbia. The best sport is generally had between eight and ten in the morning, or between three and five in the af- termoon. The best days for grilled fishing are bright, sunny ones, with a temperature of from 50 to 60 degrees, and a calm sea. In order to have really good sport at grilse fishing it is essential to use very light tackle, and a 100-yard line is much better than a shorter one. With heavy tackle and a stiff poker of a rod, it ceases to be sport and becomes more likely getting fish. Grilse will often take the fly (note we see the sea and very well in the rivers that run into the sea, such as at Cowichan. The method of fishing then followed is similar to that used in fly-fishing for trout. ```markdown ``` A. B. The world did not know that Will Rogers, famous humorist, had a double, until more than two hundred famous advertising men and publishers journeyed to St. Augustine, Florida, for the annual golf tournament of the Winter Golf League of Advertising Interests. Then somebody took Charles W. Hoyt, advertising man of New York City, for Will Rogers. He was voted Rogers' only double, and dressed the cowboy part during the costume ball in the Alcezar Hotel. It is said that Will Rogers seldom plays golf which upholds Hoyt's statement that he is really different. Mr. Hoyt made a great hit at St. Augustine which is not only the oldest city in the United States, but is located in a veritable Garden of Eden, and is one of the most celebrated golf centers. The visit of the advertising men was said to be the most important golf pilgrimage in the history of the country.
