VOLUME XLIV, NO. 17 M Mamie Go ANOTH TIDEW (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) A shocking tragedy took place Saturday afternoon about 2 o'clock at 106 W. Clar Street. A man and his wife were found both with their throats cut. Their names are James Gordon. They were conveyed to St. Philip's Hospital, where the woman died Saturday night at about 7 o'clock. Before her death, being hindered by the knife wound from talking, she wrote on a pad a statement of the affair saying that James Gordon had cut her with a knife. When found at the room, she had the knife in her hand. A. FRIGHTFUL GASH. Her remains were conveyed to Funeral Director A. D. Price's morgue. There it was viewed by Coroner James M. Whitfield. The frightful gash, about five inches across the throat severed the jugular vein. The wound extended across the throat and the opening up and down was about two inches. The woman was of medium build light brown skin complexion, while Gordon is rather dark. A visit to 106 W. Clay Street brought some of the lodgers there to the door who said they knew nothing about the hap pening. GREATLY WORRIED. They said that Mrs. A. McCargo, who lived at 104 W. Clay Street, rented the place. She came t the door in response to the summons and seemed greatly worried over the traceday. She said that she went out; Saturday. The affair took place up stairs. There are two rooms up there and the bath room is next to them. William Lassiter rent's one room and Jim White the other. Lassister has a night latch on his door and is on during the day. He sometimes forgets to lock the door. NOT KNOWN THERE No one knows about James Gordon and his wife, both of whom are unknown to the landlady. How they got into that room is not known. White came in and as he heard noises in Lassiter's room wore in and found James Gordon and Mamie Gordon in the bed with their throats out. He hurried down and told Mrs. McCargo's son. John McCargo that some parties were up in Lassiter's room and had mussed things up. The police were notified and the wounded people carried to the hospital. OFFICER THERE, TOO Going to St. Philip's Hospital Officer F. P. Kersey was found on guard. Over on the north side, in a bed with a colored nurse sitting there, lay James Gordon, with a bandage around his neck. There was an opening in which a tube had been inserted. He appeared to be almost as badly cut as the dead woman. He had not been informed of his wife's death. The story told by him is interesting. He said his wife and himself had been living apart for some time. She resided at 1541 Temple Street while he lives in Henrico County. They met Saturday here and he started out to get a room and go to bed. He did not fully comply with her wishes, and she got suspicious about some other woman. He proposed that he take a nap and proceeded so to do. The next thing he knew he felt the knife in his throat. He took the knife away from her and cut her throat. His statement had been changed somewhat, for he is quoted at one time as saying, after cutting her throat, he cut his own throat. KNIFE IN WOMAN'S HAND. As a matter of fact the woman had the knife and her fingers were found cut, where she had evidently grappled with him and taken the knife from him in the struggle. On the other hand it is not believed that with such a ghastly wound she could have cut his throat in the way it was cut. Gordon's hair had been recently cut at some barber shop. He had a high pompadour. He tried to talk, but after giving the name of his wife, he gave up the job. It is believed he will recover. In reply to queries Coroner James M. Whitfield stated that Mamie Gordon was stabbed on the right side of her neck near the spinal column and then drawn out to the front across the throat, cutting the jugular vein the aesophegus. The impression is being conveved from some quarters that Gordon lured his wife to this room, but there is no evidence as yet to sustain this view of the situation. It is a singular fact that Mamie Gordon was practically killed and James W. Gordon is suffering with his throat cut as a result of the fractas at 106 W. Clay Street and the proprietress, Mrs. A. M.Cargo resides at 104 W. Clay Street, while Sidney Johnson, who was stabbed by Willie Edwards resides at 106 E. Clay Street and the fractas between Chasie Nappar and Nathaniel Jones took place at 104 E. Clay Street. Napper was required to refund $10 to Jones and pay the costs of court. ANOTHER CUTTING A few moments before we arrived Sidney Jones, who resides at 106 E. Clay Street had been brought in from the Johnson Willis Hospital where he is employed. He was lying with his head bandaged. He said that he roomed at Mrs. Baker's residence. He had to take a serving tray upstairs and he came down to change his coat. This fellow, Willie Edwards took his clean coat off the chair and threw it up on top of a locker where it would be soiled. BADLY STABBED. He said he did it and he didn't give a d. . . . , and remarked that I should hang it somewhere else. I said this is mighty aie sort of talk. He said if I didn't like it to fight him. He then went to his coat and got a knife and stabbed me in the head and in the right breast. I had nothing. The affair rock place about 11:15 Sunday morning. 27th inst. Johnson is 30 years of age and although married is not living with his wife now he said. ANOTHER CASE Coming up by Detective Head quarters a colored man named J H. Browning was there. He works at the C. and O. Shops. It seems that on December 31, 1926 he was held up by a colored man named Joe Valentine who thought he had his pay envelope with him. Luckily he had only $1.60 on him and the man with a pistol pointed at him got that amount. He kept a lookout for him and he had just been arrested. It turned out that he had robbed several other persons in the same manner. Browning lives at 2 Pegs Street. Valentine lives in 9th St. TIME OF THE GORDON FUNERAL So ended a day of disaster and tracedy. The relatives of Mami-Gordon came to the city Sunday and arranged for the funeral Tuesday, March 1st. at Quiclionc Baptist Church in Henrico County. It is being daily emphasized that "the wages of sin is death." NOTICE! There will be a special called meeting of the Knights of Pythias and Courts of Calanthe at the Castle Hall. Tuesday March 8. 1927 at 8 P. M. to arrange for the Anniversary to be held the fourth Sunday in March. We trust that all members will attend this meeting. NS. LUCY CROSS D. D. G. W. C. GEO. L. BRANCH D. D. G. C. Pytlians throughout the State of Virginia are thoroughly aroused to action according to a circular sent out to the Chancellor Commanders, Officers and Members of Subordinate Lodges in this Grand Jurisdiction. It is authorized by the Past Chancellors from the district com posing, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Newport News, functioning under the name of Tidewater Council of Past Chancellors of Knights of Pythias. Sir Throman Clark a Pythian of many years standing, is leading the movement in a masterly manner. He and his associates seem well versed in the details of organizing. Here is the circular: To Chancellor Commanders, Officers and Members of Subordinate Lodges Greetings: The following resolution was presented to the Tidewater Council of Past Chancellors in session at Portsmouth, Va. February 13, 1927. After careful consideration same was adopted by the Council. Yours in F. C. and B.. F. E. PURYEAR, President. EUGENE WEST, Secretary. To the Officers and Members of Tidewater Council of Past Chancellors Knights of Pythias of Virginia: We present for your consideration the following declaration and announcements of candidacy: Whenever a large proportion of the membership of any organized body of society, becomes so dis pleased with the manner in which its affairs are being conducted by a portion of its principal officers, that other officers and leaders of that same body are forced to conclude that a proper sense of duty to their constituency and fraters requires them to demand a change in such administration, a decent respect and regard for the opinion of their brethren and mankind generally requires that they should declare and explain the causes which impel them in their actions. Actuated solely by motives predicated upon the good and welfare of our beloved Order, as well as its future destiny, Norfolk Chapter Past Chancellors Council of Virginia feels that it would be reckent to its duty if it failed to appeal to the Knighthood of the State to rise up in its might and inaugurate a straightforward businesslike policy of strict economy and retrenchment in the management of the affairs of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Virginia. We question neither the integrity nor efficiency of any of our Grand Lodge Officers nevertheless. it is our honest opinion that, regardless of their honesty and ability our Grand Attorney and Grand Master of Exchequer had no right nor authority under the laws governing our Order to disburse the funds that came into their hands from the salvaged assets of the defunct Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond, Virginia, in the manner in which they did. It is also our honest opinion that the Grand Cancellor had no right nor authority under Pythian law, to approve such manner of disbursement. According to Sections 1 4 and 5 of Article 6 of the Constitution and By Laws of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, Knights of Pythias these funds should have been received by M. MRS. W. T. JOHNSON, Leader of Talent Raly the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal to be "paid over forthwith to the Grand Master of Exchequer, receiving the latters receipt there for, and the funds should have been deposited by the Grand Master of Exchequer in a "regularly incorporated bank in the name of the Grand Lodge." The disbursements should have been made by orders drawn by the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal on the Grand Master of Exchequer and countersigned by the Grand Chancellor. The funds in question never passed through the office of the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, according to the report of the auditors from the office of Commissioner of Insurance. It is also our honest opinion that the aforementioned officers had no right nor authority to permit the Attorney of record to deduct $1,894.94 from the said funds as collection fee without first submit the matter to the Grand Lodge for its consideration, and approval. This opinion becomes more impressive when it is remembered that we are paying our Grand Attorney a salary of $1,000.00 per year to attend to our legal matters.

T. Johnson. She had been granted permission by the church to proceed with the work, and as a result with the cooperation of her husband and 300 workers in the church, a grand pageant Sunday night ended the effort. ...She had requested that each talent bearer bring in $5.00 or more. Many chose to bring in more and as a result everybody down there at College and Broad Streets seem to be wearing a broad smile. The amount raised upon the call of the roll was ($2052.24) Two Thousand and Fifty two Dollars and Twenty four cents with some others to be heard from. The amounts ranged from $3 to $87.

"LOOSE ANKLES" COMING HERE Of special interest to the colored theare goers of this city and vicinity is the coming engagement of "Loose Ankles" the New York laugh sensation direct from the Biltmore Theatre, New York to the Strand Theatre for three days beginning Monday March 14th with the original Biltmore Theatre cast and the J. Eddie Wise Syncopated Colored Band, which has been one of the features of "his hilarious force comedy ever since its premiere at the Biltmore Theatre over six months ago. "Loose Ankles" has been stamped by the metropolitan press as the season's laugh hit, being the first comedy score to a bull's eye hit of the present theatrical season in New York. This riotous comedy is extravagant witty and the ludicrous incidents are punctured with a line of sure fire repartee that keeps the audience howling throughout the entire action of the play. The story of "Loose Ankles" revolves around New York's night life and the American prototype of the European gigolo—young men dancers at Broadway dance halls who are the paid partners and escorts of women who are over "40" and overweight. To hear these social bandits (hoofers) discuss their traities of women in their wise crack vocabulary is one of the bright spots of this unproactive comedy. The same cast, the original one which amused Broadway for six months will be seen here, amons whom will be Ellen Dorr, Reed Brown, Jr., Charles D. Brown Frank Lyon, Joseph Bell, Carotta Irwin, Clifford Dempsey, Ethel Mar tin Lavinia Shannon, Jeanne De Me, Maxwell Sholes and others. The entire musical program of "Loose Ankles will be played by the J. Eddie Wise Syncopated Band. This colored band traveled through Europe last August and was accepted in every city as the true interpreters of American refined jazz. Their reception in Paris where the band located for-over two theatrical sea sons was nothing short of an ovation. Mrs. Minnie Epps and her charming sister, Miss Alice Devane, of New York City, 438 Lenox Avenue, have returned after a very pleasant visit in this city. They are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Diggs and were guest of their aunt, Mrs. Ada Johnson of West Baker while here. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. Full Account HOSPITAL ORMS. THE FIGHT IS ON. REV.

C.-Women workers invading men's white col- lar office jobs receive a much lower salary scale than men for perfor- mating the same type of work, accord- ing to the study of the National laries in 1926 by the National Home Study Council made public here by Dr. John S. Noffsinger, director of the Council. "Survey of 27,376 office workers, including male and female employees of the United States disclosed the extent of the salary premium in U.S. Business Man Business an ess Man Lea biness and H U. S. Business Man Learns To Mix Business and Pleasure for Profit Successful business men are not chiefly serious individuals with one-track minds, as they have often been depicted. They like their play as well as their work and up to a certain point—the better they play the better they work. Such are the conclusions of Colvin B. Brown, of the United States Chamber of Commerce, who knows more business men, of all sorts and from all sections, than any other man in America. As chief of the organization service bureau, through which the Chamber cooperates with business bodies of other states, Brown travels 50,000 mile yearly, keeps tab on hundreds of trade organizations and calls uncounted thousands of executives by their first names. The business man on the job. Brown concedes. must of course be for business first and last. But out of the office, or away from his home town, he wants and needs recreation. This demand is a growing influence. Brown finds, in the selection of places for the conventions and conferences now held once or twice each year, virtually all of the business. There is a definite demand, he says, for playtime as well as work-time at these meetings, with a growing preference indicated for outdoor sports, particularly golf. As a result, large cities, previously favored as convention centers, are being splanted more and more by towns or resorts where opportunities for relaxation and recreation are combined with centralized facilities for the business of the meeting. Typical of such resorts, he cites French Lick Springs, a resort on the coast of the Pacific courts, riding stables and other facilities for sport are but a sten from the big hotel and its convention hall. "The problem of picking a convention center." Brown says, "is to find a place with attractions sufficient to draw the members, but without the distractions that scatter them and prevent attendance at meetings. New York and Washington draw the crowds. But their distractions are so many—there are so many places to go and so many things to see—that often less than 50 percent of the delegates who have registered show up at the meetings. The same is true in various degrees, of any large city. The rest and recreation advantages of such places as French Lick. Brown says, are proving additionally attractive as they are --- fWO favor of men" says the report. "Average weekly salary for male head book-keepers was $44.08, while that of women head book-keepers doing the same work was $33.21. "Men cashiers drew a median wage of $41.59 a week, while women cashiers made only $11.19. Male senior clerks received an average of $11. while female senior clerks received $24.16. Average of male ledger clerks was $29.81 compared with $22.88 by female ledger clerks. "Only position in which women received higher pay then men was In Learns To Mix and Pleasure for Profit better known. And as places in which to transact convention, business effectively they are infinitely superior to cities. Instead of being scattered through many hotels, delegates are housed together in large, modern hostelry. Business sessions are held in a camper van. The time saved by this centralization makes possible full enjoyment of the sport facilities without infringing on the periods set aside for business. Indeed, many conventions at these resorts now schedule games and sports as a definite part of their program. Brown's views are concurred in the report of the expert exert of the U. S. Chamber, who agrees that facilities for play are now recognized as essential in arranging successful trade meetings. "Perhaps the most notable selection of time and place for a convention to fit the sport instinct," Kirkpatrick says, "was when the American Bankers' Association picked New York on a week when a world's championship baseball series was to be played. But opportunities for participation in play finds the widest favor, with sports like golf and tennis, that permit tournament play, holding the strongest lure. For the business man, after all, is a good sport and he likes his pleasure as well as his profit." WHERE MENTAL TRAINING IS NOT A FACTOR PETER H. COLVIN V BROWN REMEMBER THE OLD STORY OF THE FROGS? — BY A. B. CHAPIN 2. HOLDS ON A TIME TWO FROGS FELL INTO A DEEP CAN OF MILK 3.

Disparity in earning power between the sexes is due only in part to women's willingness to accept less pay. Men workers are more likely to train themselves intensively for their jobs by home study. Where the mental training is less of a factor, the salary gap diminishes. Men order clerks, it was found, averaged $21.84 a week, while females made $20.10. Men operating labor saving machines averaged $22.14 a week and women $21.82." Trudie and George Kept Strength on Candy, Says Wilson HENRY SULLIVAN The world's three premier swimmers in the modern development of long distance events in the oldest sport except running. GEORGE YOUNG GERTRUDE EDERLE CHICAGO — America produces the greatest athletes in the world because the people on this continent are the best fed of any on earth, according to Harry R. Wilson of St. Louis, in an address here before the annual convention of the Midland Confectioners' Association. "Athletes and children are great consumers of energy foods, because of their bodily activities," said Mr. Wilson. "That is why they are great candy eaters. Candy is fuel in concentrated form. It MAIL-ORDER BIBLE SALES ARE LARGEST IN HISTORY is impossible to maintain bodily exertion without fuel. "Long distance ocean swimming is the supreme test of vitality and stamina. The two winners of the largest prizes offer offers this highest level of competition. Certer Ederle, first woman to conquer the English Channel, and George Young, the Toronto boy, who started with a hundred others but landed alone in the Catalina Island swim, kept on their strength by eating candy during their hours of battle with the sea. "Some idea of the need for enery in such gruelling snus MAIL-ORDER BIBS ARE LARGE An answer to the continuation of some that religion is losing ground in found in the fact that mall-order Bible sales are the target in the history of the mall-order business. Such squats, managing not only from all sections of America, but from all quarters of the globe where missionaries are laboring, according to Duke Elli, for thirty-four years chief of the book department of Montgomery Ward & Co., assumed to 1898 a banner record in the master of Bible sales. "Our sales of Bibles and technologies in 1898," said Mr. Hill recently, "expanded those of any former full year in all the fifty-five years of Montgomery Ward & Co.'s business experience. The sales for the year will appraise 189,000 copies, a great percentage of them being distributed through missionaries in the forty-five years, been the first full year, the Bible continues to be the 'best seller' in the country district. In the large cities many outstanding churches are urging the use of the American revised Bible, but with the rank and file of our customers in the rural communities there is an insistent and practically unanimous demand for the King James version. --- tained effort is shown by the fact that Henry Sullivan, of Lowell, Mass., the only person to have made both the English Channel and Catalina swims, lost fifteen pounds between Catalina Island and the Gulf of Mexico. The food of high energy values, has to be taken into the system to compensate for such consumption of reserve force. "Healthy weight reduction is synonymous with exercise. All energetic people must have sweets as a part of their dietary. Concentrated fuel is as necessary to them as the tissue-building fuel." LE SALES GEST IN HISTORY "We far as the Bible is conquered, the people in the country will not tolerate any innovations. They want only the black-bather blinding, and easily readable type. In the past Bibles bound in color were listed in our catalogue, but, because of the almost universal demand for black blinding, we have discontinued the listing of them. In the country home the family Bibles occupies its usual place, but it has come to be that practically every member of a family has his or her own Bible. some families having eight or ten copies. "Our records show that ordinarily in hard-time' periods the seri- ous-minded country folk turn to the Bibles for encouragement and consol- sation." Mr. Hill added. "but in this relatively prosperous period it seems that the people are just as eager to take up the good book for aid and comfort. "Our sales of general literature are keeping up very well, and it is noticeable that the demand for clean books is becoming more and more urgent. We are striving to keep our sales limited to worthwhile books, and we find plenty of encouragement in the expressions from our customers in all parts of the country.

The New York Messenger reports that it has added the able Abram L. Harris to its staff. He is a B. S. of Virginia Union University. He is now Assistant Editor. Governor Alfred Smith, of New York may never be nominated for President, and if nominated may not be elected, but it looks very much as though if he is not elected, the House of Representatives will name the next President of the United States. Governor Harry F. Byrd has much nerve and more determination. Both landed him in the Governor's Chair of Virginia. If he can secure the adoption of the major portions of the Reed Committee's and the Prentiss' Commission's reports, the doors to the United States Senate will swing wide open for him. When the colored delegation went to the President to oppose segregation based upon race and color, it took a long step in the right direction. During an observation, extending over a period of some forty years, we have never yet seen a Northerner, who could withstand the subtle influence in that locality against the Negro. We do not share in the opinion that President Calvin Coolidge has weakened his hold upon the American people by his veto of the McNary Haugen Bill. His reasons for his action are convincing and most people will accept at its face value his declaration that he is ready and willing to do any reasonable constitutional thing to aid the farmers of these United States of America. it seems to us that a courageous, justice loving President is needed in the White House for some time to come. While we openly question the attitude of the people upon the taking of the oath of office for a third time there is no doubt in our mind that the President has demon sitated his ability as a Chief Magistrate and his policies should be continued in the Capital of the Nation. THE MALONE CASE. Albert Anderson publishes in the Chicago Light of February 1, an exhaustive "Amazing Inside Story of the Malone Case," setting forth that it is a matter of rank injustice for Hon. A. E. Malone husband of Mrs. Annie M. Malone, proprietress of Poro College, to claim half of the enormous business originated and built up by his wife. We have always regarded divorce matters as entirely personal and for that reason have not been able to see our way clear to meddle in such exhibitions.

To settle the matter by arbitration would be the surest way to end this kind of a disagreement at a minimum cost. The blood of both of the principals is up and it is evident that they will fight it out to the bitter end. Placing the business in the hands of a receiver, when it is solvent seems to us to be a strange proceeding, when an injunction restraining Mrs. Malone from transferring title would have answered the same purpose.

Rev. Smith is a power in the pulpit; he has very recently conducted a revival for the Second Baptist Church (North Richmond) with wonderful results. One hundred women and men are being organized into a Membership Campaign Committee to bring in 15 new members each during these services. "To conduct a successful revival we must have personal workers," explained Dr. Morris, when he made public the names of his helpers. He has urged every member to make themselves a com Wednesday 8:05 I Thursday 8:05 P. Friday 8:05 P. M apt. Church, A Kinney and Bowe Sis B. Hancock, ATOR. March 6, 1927, Will Preach.

"The Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up in the clouds, to be caught the Lord in the air," he will be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. This powerful message was brought to us by the pastor at 11:30 Sunday morning, as he preached on the "Return of Our Lord to this Earth" from the subject "The Greatest Marriage of 'he Universe.'" The beautiful sunshine had much to do with the radiant faces which filled the auditorium. The services were well attended all day. The Spirit of the Lord attended the Communion service and five new members were fellowshipped. At $ P. M. Dr. Morris' message on "Courtship and Marriage" was taken from the subject How To Be Happy. Though Married, and dealt mainly with the duty of the husband to the wife. Husbands, be on time next Sunday night and bring your wives. Dr. Morris announced that he will continue this subject and give the wives their medicine. All of Richmond should come and get this wonderful remedy for a happy married life. The Children's Chorus will make their first appearance before the public Sunday morning. Dr. Morris will presch at Moore Street Bantist Church at 3:30.

REMOVING PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS So many letters come to me asking how to remove pimples, blackheads, and other facial blemishes in a treatment recommended by myself and other skin specialists—which treatment is at once effective in remediating those things that mar the beauty of the face. My treatment is the result of long research and years of experience. I recommend it for men and women of our race purity. 1. Wash the face thoroughly with a pure, vegetable oil soap. I suggest Golden Beauty Soap because of its utmost purity. 2. Next dry the face. 3. Apply an ointment. A penetrating ointment will help you know it is helping your face. Such is the power of Golden Brown Ointment. 4. Apply an ointment to tawel in hot water. Wring out. Place on your face for a few seconds. Remove the tawel when it cools, and apply other hot ones. Repeat for five minutes. Remove any tawel left on. 5. Now remove any ointment left on the face. 6. If you are carrying out this treatment yourself, be seated before a mirror, and with the aid of an old piece of linen squeeze out the blackheads. Do not press too severely. For any blackheads that remain easily should be left until another time. 7. Soothe your face with a refreshing cold cream. Golden Brown Cream is prepared especially to serve you in this most sensitive area. Written for this paper by Madame Mamie Hightower, creator of the nationally-known Golden Brown Beauty Preparations.

This Week By Arthur, Briabane By Arthur Brisbane HORSES WILL GO. BABE RUTH AND MILTON. FAT GIRLS NOT WANTED. A KILLER AT ELEVEN. William Durland, president of a great riding school, retiring, says the automobile will never replace the saddle horse. Nevertheless, the saddle horse will vanish, and be only a memory to children of today's children. When the naked came in, men thought it couldn't take the place of bow and arrow. And, of course, it couldn't replace the hawk that rode out on its owner's wrist and flew up to bring down the game bird. The horse will linger on farms for a while and then disappear, as farming becomes really scientific. The work that requires three hundred days of the farmer's time now, will be done in about forty days or less. And the "horse" will be a machine, run by gas, electricity or wireless power. Many good investments in this world for those that hang on. When Edward Fitzgerald published his translation of the Rubaiqat, that first edition sold for one penny in England. Last week J. F. Drake paid $3,200 for a copy. When John Bunyon's "Pilgrim's Progress" was first published, wise book people said, "Only servants will buy a book of that kind." One of the copies, originally sold for two pence, is worth thousands of Colliam now. Of 118,000,000 Americans, only 3,000,000 own stocks or bonds. This small number of stockholders, estimated by the American Bankers Association, is encouraging to brokers and those that have good stocks and bonds for sale. Wages are high, money is piling up in the savings banks, millions Dr. Butler DEBA April 8 The nation at large, Republican leader with interest the reaction of sentiment. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler and Senator April 8 on Prohibition enforcement. about President Coolidge's third term the wet and dry issue; and things in g Senator Borah into the picture, with First $1,000 Prize To Campfire Girl Eileen Simpson, 18, of Grand Rapids, Mich., plunged into Lake Michigan last summer, saving two children out beyond their depth. For this feat she has been awarded the first National prize by the Campfire organization—a check for $1,000. that own no steaks COULD own them, if proper inducements as to return and safety were offered. If you like miracles, consider this. Peter Kraus, sailor on a freight ship in mid-ocean, drove particles of iron into his right eye while using a drill, and suffered agonies. Far away, Dr. Francis, ship's surgeon, picked up by radio, details of the sailor's trouble. He sent wireless directions, ordering them to stop using cocaine, telling them how to make a magnet. The magnet extracted the iron particles instantly, pain stopped, the man went back to work. Mr. Burgert, bachelor member of a very "old family" in Ohio, leaves money to build a home for girls "between the ages of sixteen and twenty-eight, of small stature, bright, ambitious and good to look at." Fat girls are not to be admitted. That will was made by a foolish beeholder. Young girls ought to be reasonably fat, with tissue and energy stored up for their duty as mothers. Girls of the skeleton type have barely energy enough for themselves, to say nothing of a family. What counts is not how you start, but how you finish. Years ago, a boy named Bamburger took a job at a $4 week to run errands; glad to get the job, glad to run. It was a start. Now, to his $22,000,-000, dry goods plant in Newark he builds on a $10,000,000 addition. And men from bigger cities go to Newark to study his ways of running a business. The thoughtless may point out that Babe Ruth gets, in one year, for hitting that ball about a thousand times as much as Milton got for writing "Paradise Lost." That is no argument. For one American that wants to read "Paradise Lost" at least a million want to see Babe Ruth play baseball. An eleven-year-old boy, Michael Ponkrakow, ran away from home after a beating, killed a shopkeeper in an attempted holdup, and is wondering what will be done with him. It is said that he cannot be treated as a youthful delinquent, because he refuses to say that he is sorry he committed the murder. A childish reason, for lack of repentance is only one more proof of youthful delinquency. In any case, the boy will not be executed, even if put on trial for murder. Capital punishment survives, but killing children is no longer part of "civilization." ATE in Sen. Borah 8 leaders in particular, will watch event following the debate between lector William A. Borah at Boston Dr. Butler's recent statements in hopes; the importance of facing general about his party, brought in a challenge for debate. What to Do With Him? Boy, 11, Shoots and Kills AUTOCOASTER Beaten at home, Michael Ponkrashaw, 11, went into a store, attempted a hold-up, became excited—and shot and killed the proprietor. Mentally normal—still New York authorities know not quite how to deal with him. Shall he be tried on a murder charge? THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should K by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. "CHICKEN-POX" Do you know that "pox" means "pustle"? Yes, always. Varicella is the scientific name for this ailment of childhood. Few grown-ups are attacked, and the disease is not reckoned among the dangerous infections. It is actively contagious, and often spreads among school children very quickly—the epidemic being well on, before the character of the "breaking out" is discovered by parent, teacher, or physician. Although chicken-pox is considered harmless, and easily cured, there is, nevertheless, the danger of serious complications, as with all eruptive fevers; kidney disease may appear as a result; or pneumonia may suddenly develop; or ugly stomach and bowel conditions. As it is always better to be safe than sorry, chicken-pox should be promptly and efficiently treated, as soon as the diagnosis is even reasonably clear. A few scattering, dark red skin-teases, acute in character, appearing chiefly on the body and limbs, should be regulated with suspicion, and precautions taken to keep the child indoors. I have space for only the practical points here. Keep the little one from exposure to cold or wet if gentle laxatives are needed, use them—no "strong" purgatives; allow only light, easily-digested food. Fill a tumbler half full with tartrate of potash, known as cream-tartar, from the drug store—not the grocery; then fill the tumbler with water, stir well and allow to settle; give a teaspoonful to a dessert-spoonful of the clear solution every three or four hour. When used low, fill glass with water, settle, and use as before. May use this until the child is well; it will not interfere with the physician's treatment, and is used in all eruptive diseases to ward complications. You cannot "be it up" chicken-pox—it must run as course. Next Week—Diabetica Aimee and Tex Doing Their Stuff AUTOCASTER Almee Semple McPherson, whom New York termed "The Vamp in vestments," went, saw and conquered the Great White Way in his swing around the country, preaching the gospel which she served up at Los Angeles so successfully. Her first night in Gotham, she paid an early morning visit to the famed "Texas" Guinan night club. Saw wickedness, made a speech, got a round of applause, then invited "Tex" and her gang to come out to meeting the next evening. "Tex" said "Sure," and she went (as shown in insert below) and both of them held news spaces on the first page of every metropolitan paper for four days. That's advertising. Go Back to the Old Days?

Photographer, of Banff GOLDEN EAGLETS IN NEST S FRIENDS small tree taking a wilde when night, hit rock and throw it. I love fast as I fall, holding a fat scrawny. He has taken all thousand negatives of the big game and the wild flowers of the Canadian Pacific Rockies, and probably knows more about this rugged mountain range than anyone else. Mr. Cowns is now in the United States showing his intimate pictures of big game. Not long ago he climbed five hundred feet up the steep slopes of a old near Banff to reach an eagle's nest. Here he photographed young eaglets in the nest, while Mr. and Mrs. Eagle swooped down from time to time one thousand eaglets with out-sweep falcons when only a rod or so away, but Dan got the pictures just the same.

Many striking testimonials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms.

Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cannonment. I predicted last fall that 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.

EV Tidewater K. of P's Demand (Continued From Page 1) the present salary of $1,800.00 per year for our Grand Chancellor and $1,000.00 per year for our Grand Attorney are entirely too high for our present resources. We feel that $900.00 per year would be ample salary for the Grand Chancellor and that the Grand Attorney should be put on a mileage and per diem basis like other unsalaried Grand Lodge Officers and paid a reasonable fee for whatever legal service he may be required to render from time to time during the year. The foregoing briefly sets forth the views of our Chapter and forms a summary of the reforms we shall fight for in the ensuing session of our Grand Lodge at Newport News port June. next week. From the attitude assumed by our Grand Chancellor in his recent proclamation in reply to the resolution sent out to the Knighthood of Virginia by Tidewater Chapar Past Chancellors Council, and in approving the circular recently sent out by the Pass Chancellors Council of Newport News in which they say in reference to Grand Lodge Officers salaries: "And in the case of the Grand Chancellor we feel that his salary should be increased," we don't think we can hope for any relief from present conditions at his hands. A committee from this Council visited two well known and out standing Sir Knights who are members of the Grand Lodge in good standing and after much persuasion obtained their consent to head a ticker in opposition to the "three principal Grand Lodge Officers referred to. We therefore take pleasure in announcing the candidacy of Sir F. E. Purwear of Norfolk, our present Grand Vice Chancellor, for Grand Chancellor and Sir John T. T. Taylor of Richmond for Grand Vice Chancellor. An outstanding Sir Knight with a record of years of honorable and worthy service to the Grand Lodge of Virginia and who resides in the City of Lynchburg was selected as Tidewater's choice for Grand Master of Exchequer, but having not as yet had an opportunity for a personal interview with him, his name will not be divulged as yet. We feel assured however that he will serve the Order and we know that, if elected, he will give honest and efficient service. The candidates herein named are standing squarely upon the platform of retrenchment and economy as stated in this circular. We earnestly solicit your approval of these sentiments and request that you authorize them to be printed in circular form and a copy to be sent each subordinate lodge in the State. Respectfully submitted. Norfolk Chapter Past Chancellors. By THROMAN CLARK. Chairman W. L. CUSTIS Secretary. 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 attend 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.

She impressed me as one who possesses race pride. Quite a host of members and friends of Trinity Baptist Church were at the morning service. The pastor, Rev. Jones spoke to them feelingly, out of the Word of God, using as a text, Galatians 6:7. 8. "Be not deceived God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap, etc." At the conclusion E. B. Webster, representing The Richmond Planet, delivered an address endorsing the pastor and commending him for his great deliverance. He was willing to think most anything but that of the pastor leaving the church for a new field of labor. Mrs. Rubie M. Webb Miss L. W. Harvey and Miss L. M.
