NO.18 "FAT- BRUT 3 Men Sh NO M Supreme (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Three men were shot, one of whom has since died, as a result of a fractus in an alley in a house in the rear of 213 E. Grace Street, Sunday afternoon shortly after 5 o'clock. Frank Dove was shot in the left leg fracturing the bone. Robert Adams who has a brother, David Adams, residing at 703 W. Clay Street, was shot in the back on his right side, the bullet being cut out of his abdomen on the left side. "Pups", whose real name is Theodore Stutgess although he went under an alias of Willie James, was shot in the left side and Coroner Whitfield had a time in finding the bullet when he conducted the post mortem examination. A MOTHER'S VISIT The remains of the latter were turned over to Funeral Director H. L. Minor at 507 N. Fifth Street, "Pupus" mother, Mrs. Izetta Starr, who resides in Brooklyn, N. Y. arrived in the city last Tuesday morning, her son having died at about 10 o'clock Monday morning. She went to the establishment of Funeral Director Robert C. Scott. Walking along Second Street on the way to the scene of the murder Mr. Scott and Mrs. Starr were seen trying to locate the place in order that she might find the clothing of her son. They were unable so to do. The suggestion that information might be obtained at St. Philips Hospital where the other wounded men were being treated was acted upon, and I got in the handsome seden with the party. AT ST PHILIPS HOSPITAL Funeral Director Scott secured a pass and the party went to the elevator. Instead of the car going up to the second floor it went down to the basement to unload those who had come down on the way to the basement. Then something happened. Information was conveyed that the car could not go up until some adjustments had been made. The attendant told us to go to the next elevator used for freight. In a few minutes the party were in the neatly kept spacious room where lay the wounded. I saw James Gordon, much improved, his neck bandaged. He had cut his wife's throat on that fateful Saturday afternoon. THAT CASE OF WIFE MURDER. The tube was still in his throat, which had been so badly gashed in the encounter with his wife, Mamie. When reminded of what he had said, he remarked that he did not know when he had been brought to the hospital. He may have said certain things then, but he could not recolt them. When asked about the killing, he said that he would have to get himself together before he could tell just how it happened. On a bed with his leg bandaged, lay Frank Dove. Reaching for a cigarette he said that he was shot by "Fa' Head" who lives at 104 E. Marshall Street. His statement follows: "FAT HEAD" CHASED HIM "The affair took place" 5:15:51 Sunday afternoon in rear of 213 E. Grace Street. I was in the room when I heard some one coming up the steps. Then "Pups" ran in with "Fat Head" chasing him. I was in the room and might have protected "Pups" bur. "Fat Head" opened fire. He shot through the door. "Pups" sank down and, "Fat Head" conquered it. We were in the left leg. I jug wanted to get out of here to see him. I just want to see Dim again." He said this significant ly and there could be no doubt as to what he meant. Mrs. Starr's enquiry about the clothing of her son was answered. He told her to go up on Second St. to a house about the second one in the rear of Dr. Robin's Drug Store and she would find a woman there, who could tell her all about them. THE OTHER VICTIM. In the other room in the building lay Robert Adams. He was shot in the right side of his back, the 45 calibre jacketed bullet coming 'ruin', being cut out of his abdomen on the left side. He threw back the cover to expose the wound. He was skillfully bandaged. He is powerfully built. "Pups" is of slender build. Adams said. "Fat Head" was after "Pups". I heard one one run up the steps. I heard "Fat Head" say, "Frank, where is my liquor?" "Pups" was standing between me and Frank. TOOK HIS WHISKEY Clyde was standing behind "Fat Head". He had a pistol, too, but he didn't shoot. I just want to see "Fat Head" again. Then Funeral Director Scott and Mrs. Starr retired. The whole story is linked up with the charge that Frank and his associates took whiskey from a place where "Fat Head" had stored it. He went to "Pups" house at 110 E. Franklin Street to find and punish him. He is said to have run him to Frank's house where he proceeded to open fire with deadly results. The bullets "hat wounded and killed are said to have passed through the wooden door before doing the deadly work. Robert Adams is in a critical conditio (Continued on page 4 .Miss Viola J.

Carter. Lewyer J. Henry Crutchfield, has returned to Richmond after spending a month with his brother and sister Mr. Edward and Miss Daisy Crutchfield, 4082 Warren Street, Philladelphia Pa. Quite a commotion took place last Tuesday morning at about 9 o'clock when the police patrol with officers drove into the alley in the rear of Mrs. Maggie L. Walker's residence. In the garage was a large automo bile, left there by some one the night before. The person who put it there had gotten into the yard and into the garage and unlatched the patented door from the inside. The car bore no license number. Mrs. Walker went to Hot Springs, Arkansas in her car and these people saw fit to make use of her garage and leave on short notice. The police are on a lookout for the parties. In Memoriam.

"The Last Adam" Powerful Discourse. Rev. R. H. Johnson, pastor of the Sharon Baptist Church, on last Sunday morning concluded his series of sermons on "The Last Adam." A large and appreciative audience was out to hear him and he delivered the most forceful and impressive message of the series. The choir under the masterly leadership of J. L. Peters, entertained the congregation. He has worked a remarkable transformation in the original number of singers. He has had quite a time at the task and there seemed to be something grimly humorous in one of his selections, when he and his associates, instead of standing, remained seated while the song with its refrain, "I Shall Not Be Moved" was taken up by those in the pews. THOSE TEXTS The collection was lifted and then Rev. R. H. Johnson announced a series of texts. They were as follows: Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed, it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel" I Corinthians xv chapter, 22nd verse "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive," 45th verse, "And so it is writ'en. The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit." NO FIELD FOR COMBAT. Rev. Johnson said "I pity the man, who takes this section of the Bible in Genesis as an arena for scientific combat. He commented upon the discussion relating to the origin of man and the contention that he came through a process of evolution from the ape or monkey. We are not interested in where we came from, but in where we are going. Tell mankind that the wages of sin is death. There are some who say that this part of the Scriptures is open to serious doubt. THE SERPENT AND PUNISHMENT "They say that God did not punish the serpent for he is beautifully marked. The snake does not eat dust. He is a flesh eater. They ask. Why should God punish the serpent because the Devil took the form of a serpent?" He drew an illustration from the act of a forger and the person, whose name was forged. God could not rightfully punish the serpent because of "these moral jeections. It was not upon the serpent but upon the Devil. It means 'that Satan shall eat the dust. The king dom of Satan shall be brought down and that Satan shall lick the dust." ENEMY OF GOD "Satan is the arch enemy of God. If we can keep the Devil out of our own lives; if we can keep him out of our flesh, then we can win a victory. We can bruise the serpent's head. There is a prophecy of the Christ, a prophecy of His suffering and a triumph, the success of Jesus Christ, "For as in Adam all died, even so in Jesus Christ shall all be made alive." The first Adam made in the image of God was self seeking. He was tempted and fell. The last Adam was temped. He did not fall. Our troubles come from yielding to temptation. We are brought down to misery." He told of the action of some women in reaching out after the finery of this life. It leads to degradation and death. DODGING RESPONSIBILITY. He spoke of Adam trying to shield himself behind his wife. He declared he had no respect for a man who turns state's evidence against his fellows. There should be some honor even among thieves. He concluded with copious extracts from his texts, declaring that God was a rock in a weared land, and a shelter in a mighty storm. Then he lined out the hymn, "Alas, and Did My Saviour Die." Director Peters and his choir immediately responded; the benediction was announced and all passed out, many murmuring approval of the soul stirring sermon, which had just been delivered by this able divine. Hon. Ben Tucker, Clerk of the Police Court has seen very active in the organization of the Civic Club. It is reported that Superintendent L. C. Brown of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D. C. has resigned his position to accept the appointment as National Organizer for the Civic Club, under the direction of President James T. Carter. FOUND DEAD AT SCHOOL James Morton, janitor of Baker Street School was found deat at his home last Saturday. CLARENCE POLLARD STABBED. Clarence Pollard, 18 years of age, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Bolling Pollard was badly stabbed last Monday night. He had six stab cuts in his overcoat and lost much blood. He was taken into Dr. Andrew Robinson's Pharmacy at First and Jackson Streets to await the arrival of the ambulance. He is now in St. Philips Hospital. The injury was in his left arm.

Price Jr.) Shepherds Hold Big Rally Here One of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings ever held in fraternal circles here, was held by the Shepherds and Daughters of Bothehem. Thursday, March 3rd, at the 6th Mount Zion Baptist Church. The occasion was the grand finale of the big Red and Blue Membership Campaign and the installation of officers of the local Folds. The Reds, under the leadership of Captain Amos C. Clark were victorious over the蓝s, under Captain Mary E. Cousins. Mrs. J. J. W. Barco was mistress of ceremonies and presented the following speakers: Rev. C. A. Cobb, N. W. Bouldin, Roscoe C'. Mitchell Mrs. Amanda Randolph, Mr. Mhz. Johnson, Thomas Leescus; James H. Robinson, Jr.; Mrs. Susie H. Robinson; F. H. Lightner; J. A. Mayo. The central and commanding figure of the occasion was Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, whose untiring executive and organizing ability coupled with a charming personality, have brought such phenomenal success to the Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem. In her official capacity as Grand Presiding Shepherd, Mrs. Stokes installed the officers and conducted the finals in the membership campaign. The in stallation address was made by Dr. A. W. Brown, pastor of Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church. He gave a splendid talk, pregnant with sound and sane advice to the organization specifically and the race generally. The culmination of the Membership Campaign was sensational. The Grand Shepherd had asked for 500 new members and when the smoke of battle cleared away, 900 new Shepherds and Daughters had been gathered into the Folds of Richmond. The victorious Red Army had won by a margin of 25 members. The vanquished Blue Army was glorious in defeat and proved a foe worthy of the best efforts of the S. AND S. WASHINGTON Funeral Director A.

Cousins is complimented for the close run she gave Captain Clarke. The lieutenants on both sides were jubilant over the marked success of the great drive. Mrs. Stokes presented each Captain ten dollars in gold. Mrs. Susie J. Williams, in choice remarks, made presentations of a beautiful bouquet of roses to Mrs. Stokes and purses to Captainz Clarke and Cousins. Indicative of the development of the Shepherds here was the appearance of three distinctive Shepherd musical organizations on the program. This shows that this organization is forging its way into the forefront of fraternals. The Shepherds Choir, the Shepherds Juvenile Chorus and the Shepherds Band rendered splendid selections. The meeting adjourned with evidences of a lasting enthusiasm in the hearts of those present. MRS. SARAH WILLIAMS DIES IN WASHINGTON D. C. News reached the city this week of the death of Mrs. Sarah Williams, in Washington, D. C., at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ella J. W. Johnson, 517 Tea Street, N. W. Mrs. Williams was an old resident of this city, where she formerly lived. She was well known and highly respected by all who knew her. The funeral services were held in Washington Thursday at 2 o'clock P. M. The funeral of Mrs. Fannie Fisher took place Sunday 2 P. M. at the Fourth Baptist Church. Rev. J. Andrew Bowler, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church delivered the funeral discourse. Music was furnished by the choir. Mrs. James Brown sang a solo and Miss Richetta Price read the resolutions from the Valley Beneficial Club.

S. Supreme Court (yesterday) by unanimous decision sustained the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its contention that the State of Texas had exceeded its rights in barring colored voters from the Democratic party primaries in that State. In a sensational decision, read by Mr. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, the Supreme Court declared the Texas law of 1923 unconstitutional thereby crowning the fight carried thru all the lower courts by the N. A. A. C. P. The Supreme Court in its decision declared that "it seems to us hard to imagine a more direct and obvious infringement of the Fourteenth Amendment" than is contained in the Texas law. The Supreme Court in its decision also quoted from the Louisville's Segregation Case won by the N. A. A. C. P. in 1917, the quotation being as follows: "That Amendment (the Four eenth) not only gave citizenship and the privilege of citizenship to persons of color, but it denied to any State the power to withhold from them the equal protection of the laws"$^a$ Who is this but declaring that the law in the States shall be the same for the blacks as for the whites;$^b$ that all persons whether colored or white shall stand equal before the laws of the States, and, in regard to the colored race, for whose protection the Amendment was primarily designed, that no discrimination shall be made against them by law because of their color." "The staute of Texas in the teeth of the prohibitions referred to assumed to forbid Negroes to take pair in a primary election the importance of which we have indicated discriminating against them by the distinction of color alone. Staes may do a good deal of classifying that it is difficult to believe rational but there are limits, and it is too clear for extended argument that color cannot be made the basis of a statutory classification affecting the rights set up in this case." James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. hailed the decision and victory as one of the most important won for the Negro since the adoption of the Civil War Amendments. "This decision will have a far-reaching effect on the perrified South," declared Mr. Johnson. "It justifies the energy and the money that has been expended in carrying this case through the court of Texas and the lower Federal Court to the (Continued on page 4. y A. D.

MARCH 12, 1927 No act of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has tended to emphasize the necessity for its existence more than this Supreme Court decision in the matter of Democratic Primaries. It will open the floodgates of good feeling between the white and black folks as no other one thing could do. This great organization is not only entitled to praise but it should receive the necessary financial support to enable it to continue the good work. A GREAT DECISION The United States Supreme Court, in an unanimous decision handed down an opinion Monday, March 7, 1927 that the Texas law barring colored people from voting in Democratic primary elections in that State is unconstitutional. This is the most far-reaching decision upon the question of constitutional rights that has been delivered by that august tribunal in fifty years. It will have a far-reaching effect in every Southern State and is a virtual proclamation of a new era in the political history of this section. It is bound to result in a better feeling amongst the races and will give the colored people of this section an opportunity to show their appreciation of thousands of chivalric white citizens, who have wished them well and who have exerted themselves in their efforts to improve the industrial, financial, educational and the religious condition of this large body of devoted blacks We see or think we see, the beginning of the fulfillment of our prophecy made over a decade ago, that the time would come when the Southern white man would be ready and willing to protect the black man in his vote, while the Northern one might be indifferent in according him this same privilege. In some sections, the white people, who have an antipathy to the Negro may seek a return to the convention system. Still, even this can be avoided if our people will be conservative and exercise good judgment. They now have in their hands a weapon, which will tend to aid them in gaining prestige in politics. Certainly, if colored folks show their appreciation of white folks by helping to nominate them, while at the same time pledging themselves to aid in eliciting this same class of people as against all comers, the beneficiaries of this service must be the last ones to complain. God at one time fought for Israel. He is now according to the colored folks this same favor in those United States of America. Near Crazy from Backache?

It is furthermore a justification of the generosity and sacrifice of those who backed up the appeal of the N. A. A. C. P. for an adequate Legal Defense Fund. "The Supreme Court's decision is a rebuke to the persistent violation of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments in the Southern States. Furthermore, it establishes that the primaries are part of the general election system and, as such, subject to Federal control. This is a case profoundly affecting not only the political and civic status of the Negro, but many other great political issues as well. Negroes may well be proud to have been instrumental in obtaining a definitive decision on this issue which lawyers have been vainly putting up to the Supreme Court for decades. "Especially ought the membership and friends of the N. A. A. C. P. be grateful for the magnificent work done by the National President, Mr. Moorfield Storey, as well as bf Mr. Louis Marshall, member of the Legal Committee and of the Board of Directors and by Mr. Arthur B. Barn, Vice President of the Association for Chairmen of the Legal Council. These gentlemen have given of their time without sting and without any compensation what ever and the reply brief they framed to the contentions put forth by the State of Texas, is a masterpiece of close reasoning and clear exposition "Fa+-Head" Kills his exact chance of living can be determined. It is alleled "hat "Fat Head" had whiskey stored at 104 E. Marshall Street and that he left a man known as "Fast Black" to guard the same "Pups" and his associates are alleged to have gone there. Tied "Fast Black" to a chair, bandaged his mouth to prevent an outcry and that they carried this whiskey to 213 E. Grace Street. When "Fat Head" returned and was old of the occurrence, he went in search of "Pups" found him and chased him with the deadly result as reported. The body of the dead youth will probably be shipped to Savannah Ga. While the deceased lived at 119 E.' Franklin Street in the rear, he was a frequent visitor at Mrs. Isabella Coles house. She said she did his washing. A SENSATIONAL CONCLUSION. There was a sensational conclusion of the "Pups" (Willie James) case when his mother, Mrs. Izetta Starz, of Brooklyn, formerly of Savannah, Ga. decided to secure the removal of the remains of her son from the funeral parlor of Funeral Directors Funnelman and Robert C. Scott, director Director Robert C. Scott, to whom she had gone when she reached the city a perfect stranger. Wednesday 8:05 P. Thursday 8:05 P. Friday 8:05 P. M. SON, B. D., M. A. C. P.

She had telegraphed Funeral Director H. L. Minor to hold the body until she reached the city. Having removed the remains from St. Phillips Hospital on order of Coroner James M. Whitfield he embalmed it. THE COURT'S RULING. When she came to his establishment, they told her that they would turn the remains over to Funeral Director Scott provided she would pay the expense of the embalming and removal. She was not willing to do this and Cunningham and Minor were served with a notice to appear before Judge Sutton in the Law and Equity Court. Wednesday morning, Attorney J. Thomas Hewin represented the mother and Attorney Charley Maurice and Cornelius A. Mimms represented the defendants. The Judge ruled that Mrs. Starr must pay the expense or give bond for the payment of the amount. She did not do this and Cunningham and Minor held the body. Friends of the deceased proceeded to raise money enough to bury the body and Mrs. Starr left the city for Brooklyn, N. Y., without defraying any of the burial expenses. Funeral Director Minor said that she stated she should have been buried with Funeral with Funeral Director Scott. He was prepared to carry out this arrangement if the body had been turned over to him. Pastor Cobbs preached at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church Sunday to apreciative audiences.

A Well Arranged Effect This Week By Arthur Brisbane See America This Union Pacific "Gold Coast Limited" is crossing from Wyoming into Utah, rolling over snow covered hills 7,000 feet high. This is real American country, Colorado, Montana, Idaho, the Dakotas, Oregon, Washington, Nevada are your neighbors in this part of the world. It looks what it is—a great and powerful country. Straight walls of stone, capped with pine trees, tower hundreds of feet above you. Telephone and telegraph wires cross in all directions. Good automobile roads run beside the track. One stops at Salt Lake City to get acquainted with the Angel Moroni and all the land that stretches around him. Moroni, very big in bright gold, stands above the temple built by Brigham Young, for "Latter Day Saints." Just across the way is the Federal Reserve Bank, of solid stone, and beyond towers the snow covered Oquran Range, the wealth of the Utah copper mines hidden in it. Many things are as Brigham Young would have them and as he left them. The Angel Moron doesn't suspect that the real authority below is the Federal Reserve Bank, the gigantic copper mine on the mountain sides, and the big Union Pacific Railroad. D. F. Spencer, general passenger agent of the Union Pacific system, days all intelligent human beings should see the famous "Death Valley." For $42, covering all expenses, you can spend two days motoring through the mysterious valley on your way east or west, inspecting in safety the strangest places on earth, stopping over night at a modern inn, built on Furnace Creek. In Death Valley, you stand on the warm sand, far below the level of the Pacific, and look to the west, at the white top of Mount Whitney, highest peak in the United States. Clocks Play In a Colonial Period Hall. CHICAGO - Clocks are playing an increasingly important part in home decoration. In planning the arrangement of any kind of a room, whether it be a period drawing room, hall, or bed room, the right clock must be chosen to go with the ensemble. "As no room is completely furnished without a clock, the timepiece should be in keeping with the style of the room," said Leroy Soto of the American Society of Interior Decorators. In an address here "A room without a clock always looks as if something were lacking. The clock is so frequently looked at and is necessarily in such October and the middle of May. In Summer, Death Valley is the hotest place on earth. During the Death Valley season, you have your comfortable automobiles. Death Valley has everything that anybody could want—you study brilliant colors of the appropriately named "Funeral Range" on the east, and to the west the tall pamints, Uncle Sam's most precipitous mountain range, rising from the floor of Death Valley, more than 300 feet below sea level, to a height of 11,045 feet to the perpetual snow of Telescope Peek. Picturesque and convincing are names of places in that valley, once the bed of an inland sea, Gold, silver, copper, onyx are in those mountains. Many have died searching. What once were black molten streams of lava reech out into the desert, as they poured down from volcanoes, dead ages ago. You walk over plains of salt a hundred feet deep. Life is scares there, a few snakes in Summer, horned toads, the chuckwalla lizard, eaten by the Panamint Indians. Above puzzled vultures soar, wondering why the automobile doesn't die, as the donkeys did. Brief and sufficient are the lines here and there on wooden tombstones, cracked by the heat, a name and "He Ran Out of Water." The Angel Gabriel has watched many struggles in that valley, when the temperature went to 140. Traditions tell of Pite Indians, standing on the mountainsides, watching one party of white men fall and die three hundred yards from a water hole. One survivor, Bennett, "struggling to a spring, found a ledge of pure silver, broke off a piece and when he reached civilization had it made into a rife sight." Many have tried to locate that "gun-sight ledge" of pure silver. You might find it. Not far away is a beautiful date palm ranch, 178 feet below sea level. Anything will grow if you give it enough water. And across the Amargosa Desert, you travel to the "Ghost City of Rhyolite." Once it had a population of more than 10,000, railroad stations, stores, dance halls, jail and church. All still stand at the foot of Bullfrog Hill, church, jail, mills that ground up ore from the rich gold mine, all abandoned now. This is an interesting country, marvelously fertile fields, all the climates and all the products of the earth. Other Americans have prepared the way for you. See America. A Well Arranged Effect a prominent place that it must be of a appropriate design. "Clocks are more used now than at any period in the world. People who value time have clocks conveniently placed in every part of the house. Timepieces are accurate and are designed in countless models and sizes for all purposes. "Care of clocks also is important. Probably it will never run without any care until they stop. The average clock needs to be looked at once in three years. More ela- THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Good Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. My object in writing this article is to so acquaint my reader with the symptoms of the disease, that he will recognize them, and consult a physician at once; otherwise the diabetes may reach very dire conditions without exiting apprehension on the part of the patient. To begin with, diabetes is not a kidney disease, though its first manifestations appear in that quarter. The patient notices at first, very great over-action of the kidneys, with output as clear as water in the majority of cases; it may reach one, two or three gallons in quantity per day. An inordinate craving for sweets may be noticed; severe constipation is the rule, though not constant—many people are constipated without having diabetes. Then, there is a "progressive feebleness"—the growing weaker and weaker, without apparent cause. I once saw a strong man begin to grow weak "tired" all the time with no exertion to cause it; his limbs ached so much that he fancied he had rheumatism. Asked about his kidneys, he asserted that "they had never in life acted so well, two gallons or more a day!" This man died within three months—of diabetes, the disease having advanced too far to be remediable by any means known at that time, about twenty years ago. Whenever this feebleness sets in, and the patient's muscles begin to grow flabby with loss of flesh, and the kidney discharge is increasing rapidly, with constipation and craving for sweets, and for more and more water than is naturally required, it is best to have the physician make an analysis of the renal evacuation, which health amounts to about fifty acres a day in the adult. No day should be countenanced or indulged. The physician of today knows how to handle diabetes, the treatment of which would be out of place here. Next Week—Hydrophobia Interior Decoration A Formal Manuel borate clocks need more frequent attention. Banjo, tambour, and wall types, as well as mantel and bedroom clocks should be inspected every two years. Elaborate hall and chime clocks should be oilied once a year and cleaned every three years. Proper winding and setting is important. A clock should be wound slowly and steadily and not too tight. In setting turn the hands ahead, as turning them back may do serious damage to some timempeices. RHODES MEMORIAL AT RONDEBOSCH America's gold rush of '49 has its counterpart in the developments on The Rand, which no visitor to Africa will miss, but the diamond rush to the Kimberley mines in 1870 is unique. The first discovery was made by a trader, who picked up a bright-colored stone a child had been playing with. The assay proved this a spectacular diamond and now at the mere mention of Kimberley the whole world "thrilled" in ordering heaps. In barely forty years these mines have idled $1,000,000,000 worth of these gems. Think of the joy of seeing rough diamonds come out of the earth and being able to buy ncient Vintage Still Keep O LAST 1907 Automobiles of Ancient LATEST ONE MAN RACER, THE LAST WORD IN EFFICIENCY Automobiles of Ancient Vintage Still Keep On Running LATEST ONE MAN RACER, THE LAST WORD IN EFFICIENCY THIS IS WHAT USED TO SCARE HORSES HEIGHT OF SWELLDOM IN 1907 HEIGHT OF SWELLDOK IN 1907 provement in the bodies and motors of cars, have contributed to the longevity of automobiles," says the bulletin.

FIETH ST. BAPTIST CHURCH A chorus of over one hundred children arrayed in uniform was a delightful surprise Sunday morning as they marched in singing, "Holy, Holy, Holy" and assembled in their places in the gal'erv. They will be heard again next Sunday morning and night. Dr. Morris's discourse on "The Greatest Marriage of the Universe" brought out God's purpose in creating the world was to build up a bride for His Lamb; and showed the awful position of the man found at the marriage supper without having on the wedding garment. Next Sunday morning he will preach on "The Five Virgins Who Went In to the Marriage Supper and 'the Five Who Were Shut Out'; Which Are You?"

Flaxington Harker, organist of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. A great crowd was present Sunday night to hear Dr. Morris preach to the married women from the text "A wise woman buildeth her house, but the foolish woman plucketh it down with her hands." Proverbs 14:1 He spoke of God's ideal in building woman to be man's helpmate and her greatest service was in lovingly helping her husband. While "he wise woman buildeth her house with personal purity cleanliness, good cooking, a peaceable disposition, tact, kindheardness and with Christ; the foolish woman plucketh' down her house with uncleanness of body and soul, quarrelsomeness, bad cooking, poor housekeeping and a Christless desire for a good time.

Flannagan of the Northside Baptist Church, Highland Park, his choir and congregation, with the ministers and congregations of the white churches of Highland Park will worship with us at 3:30 Sunday afternoon.
