Grand Lod
Interest and enthusiasm are running high and rivalry is becoming acute and keen among the Knighthood of the Grand Jurisdiction of Virginia Knights of Fythias, as hour for the opening of the annual gala, hedge, which convenes to City of Newport News, Tuesday, June 21st, approaches.
SHARP ISSUES.
Sharp issues have arisen within the ranks of the Order which have divided it into two opposing factions, one favoring a continuation of the present administration with the exceptions of F. E. Puryear, Grand Vice Chancellor; Eugene West, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal and W. W. Foreman, Grand Lecturer and the other the former present admiral with the exponent B. B. F. Crowell, Grand Crown Collar; Joseph R. Pollard, Grand Master of Exchequer, and W. H. C. Brown, Grand Attorney.
PAST CHANCELLORS'
ENDORSEMENT SECURED
The group opposing Messrs. Crowell, Pollard and Brown is led by Tidewater Chapter of Past Chancellors Council Knights of Pythias, of which F. E. Puryear is president. This council by an overwhelming vote of more than five to one has endorsed and is sponsoring the candidacy of Mr. Purvear of Norfolk, for Grand Chancellor; John T. Tayler of Richmond for Grand Vice Chancellor; Eugene West, of Norfolk for Grand Keeper of Records and Seal and J. B. Evans, of Lynchburg for Grand Master of Exchequer-
AN INFLUENTIAL CITIZEN
Mr. Purrey is one among Norfolk's most influential citizens, having moved there from Clarksville, Mecklenburg County, Virginia where he was reared more than thirty years ago. His influence and contact with its material, fraternal and spiritual life has meant much to the city of his adoption. His father, Mr. Henry Purrey was one of his town's leading colored merchants and to bacoe buyers, thus in his early life he acquired an inspiration, for business
NORFOLK'S BUSINESS SPIRIT.
Thirty years ago there was very little enterprise or business spirit among our group in Norfolk. He, along with others of his associates, who believed in Norfolk's future, began to encourage and develop a spirit of co-operation and enterprise building. Their first effort was the organization of the Supreme Lodge Knights of Gideon which is celebrating its Thirtieth Anniversary now, and for which Mr. Purury has been the Executive Secretary for thirty consecutive years.
NEWSPAPER FOUNDER.
Norfolk at that time being with out a mouthpiece to speak out for our race group, Mr. Puryear conceived the idea of publishing a newspaper and became one of the leading spirits in organizing the Guide Publishing Company and establishing the Journal and Guide, now one of the leading Race Journals of the Country. For several years he was Business Manager of the Guide, during which period many young men and women were given employment where they gained help and inspiration to prepare and in close contact with formans a number of whom are now serving the public creditably. He has cooperated in nearly all of the corporations that have been launched in Norfolk during the past thirty years, and at present is connected with many that are now operating.
SUCCESSFUL FRATERNALIST.
As a fraternalist, his experience extends over a period of forty years; having grown up as a juvenile, and at present is actively connected with ten or more of the leading orders of the country. Because of the esteem and confidence in which his fraters
hold him, he has by his zealous week been elevated to the past decree in all with which he is connected. As a Mason he ranks "33"; Odd Fellows, P. N. T; Elks, P. E. R.; Order Eastern Star, P. Paron; Courts of Calanthe, P. W. C; Dramatic Order Knights of Omas, G. Emir; Knights of Pythias, P. Cand G. V Chancellor. He was the first President of the Norfolk Masonic Association Inc.; Secretary Joint Board Trustees G. U. O. of Odd Fellows, which owns improved properties valued at $30,000,00, and has served in this capacity for more than five years.
PROMINENT CHURCHMAN
As a churchman, he is a member of the Bank Street Baptist Church, having served as trustee. Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee it a rally that raised over $11,000; is active in Sabbath School work and other church activities. Mr Puryear is widely known throughout the fraternal and business world. He is unassuming and modest, yet firm in his convictions. It has been said by his colleagues that he is a diplomat. It's friends and associates in the Pythian circle, knowing of his qualifications have drafted him to head their Order believing that the business acumen and fraternal skill that have characterized his efficient and successful management of the affairs of the Supreme Lodge Knights of Gideon will enable him to reclaim Virginia Pythianism from its present chaos and place it upon a sound basis.
FLATFORM OF RETRENCHMENT
Mr. Pursey is running upon a platform of retrenchment and economy and as an evidence of his unselfishness and sincerity, he has agreed to accept the office of Grand Chancellor for one half the salary that is being paid at present.
Mr. Taylor is one of Virginia's leading Negro Bankers and is a fraternalist and churchman of national grounding and repute.
Mr. West is the present Grand Keeper of Records and Seal. He is Superintendent of historic Bank St. Baptist Sunday School, an ardent church worker and is widely known throughout the State in church, Sunday school and fraternal circles.
Mr. Evans is one of Lynchburg's leading business men and for a number of years has been Grand Treasurer of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Virginia A. F. and A. M.

OBJECTS CHURCH MOONLIGHT WITH DANCING.
Editor of Richmond Planet:
Permit me to ask Rev. R. M.
Williams Pasor of Leigh Street M.
M. E. Church and the officers
thereof, thru "he columns of your
paper, if they are not promoting
dancing in connection with 'the
Church? Did they not run a boat
excursion down the James River fast
and that did they not have
dancing on the boat? And are they
not running another similar boat excursion this year and are to have
dancing on the boat? If this is
true, is is consistent with the
Christianity of the M. E. Church?
Would the Bishop and the Presiding
Elder approve of this course of action?
A MEMBER.
Yonder is a fine casket and a fine
funeral car. You admire both, if
you are not called upon to occupy
either yourself. But when one
your friends is to be accommodated
you will see W. I. Johnson's Sons
with satisfaction. Either Willie or
"Babe" is ready for the solemn
business.

MORE THAN 100 HAVE TAKEN
A STAND FOR GOD.
Eighty-six persons have lined up with the church and fifty-three souls accepted Christ during the "World's Gospel Feast Revival" at Fifth St. Baptist Church. Trains are running out to every church and denomination. "Whoseover Will" is our special invitation. How we thank God for Dr. Becton! His wonderful evangelistic program is the only one of its kind among our people. While it is true that our spacious new auditorium will accommodate about 1800 persons, we have not been able to seat the people for two weeks. This has truly been an old time revival spiritually. So powerful, explicit and impressive have been the messages delivered by this fearless warrior of God, that every individual who has heard him has been caused to see himself as the reflection of a mirror, think on spiritual things, and desire to be drawn closer to God. The musical side of the services has taken on new life with the coming of Mr. Pierre of Washington D. C., who is the organist of the Gospel Feast Party. Madam Becton brings the audience to tears with her powerful singing from night to (Concluded in Notes on page 6)

You may say what you will, running from death will not get you anywhere. Running to an undertaker will not help you either, unless one wishes Funeral Director Robert C. Scott to bury him. Then you will be satisfied just as the dead individual must be satisfied.

of Funerals.
Rev. J. W. Tynes, pastor of the Eighth Street Baptist Church, of Lynchburg, Va. delivered an able sermon last. Sunday morning from John 18:37, at the Second Baptist Church. He made a most favorable impression upon the large congregation that had assembled to hear him.
The funerals of Robert Alexander Hill and Wilbur L. Burrell with Funeral Director A. D. Price, Jr. in charge of both, had been scheduled for 1:30 P. M. The latter reached the church nearly on time, but the former was nearly an hour late and during the interim, the opening or preliminary services were proceeded with by Rev. Joseph Arrington, who was in charge.
REV. STOKES' TRIBUTE.
Then followed the singing of hymns by the congregation. Rev. Arrington introduced Rev. W. H. Stokes, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, who had been requested to deliver an oration by the relatives of Robert Alexander Hill. He paid a glowing tribute to the deceased. Rev. Arrington delivered a brief sermon from John 14:19. It was appropriate and timely. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. W. Tynes. With a charming voice Mrs. Thomas sang, "Waiting for Me." A solo was sung in an admirable manner by Joseph F. Brown.
AN EMBARRASSING DELAY
The delay was caused by one of the automobiles subject to the orders of the Hill relatives and then Commonwealth Lodge of Masons, which lodge was on its time insisted on carrying out its programme by marching to the Second Baptist Church.
It was reported that Wednesday night previous, Alexander Hill had left Williams Lodge of Elks in the best of humor, calling to some one on the other side of the street. He boarded a Clay St. car at 4th and Clay Sts. He was to have alighted at Hancock and Clay, but was evidently dead or unconscious, when he reached that point.
THE END OF THE LINE.
He remained until the car reached the end of the line at Harrison and Main Sts., when he was found to be dead and was removed from the street car. A call to the A. D. Price Understanding, establishment quickly brought a response and his remains were soon in the morgue of his own place of business, where he had officiated over others for such a long time.

Girl Graduates
Six Dollars Worth of Graduation Clothes
NEW YORK—How much will it cost a girl to graduate from high school this year? School authorities wagged a nation-wide campaign against the high cost of graduation say $15. Bellas Hess, president of the National Bellas Hess Company of New York, says $10. Either figure is within the compass of a modest purse. Mr. Hess figures out the problem thus:
White cell graduation dress... $3
White silk pearl... 2
White silk hose... 1
Diploma fee... 1
Glass gift... 1
Senior and Alumnae banquets... 2
Total... $10
Even if a girl is awkward with a needle, said Mr. Hess, "there is no need for her dropping out of school before commencement day. Big scale production makes it possible for girls to buy dainty and appropriate graduation resumes as cheaply as they can make them. No girl is too poor nowadays to graduate."
TILDEN IN ACTION
CHICAGO—Sweaty hands may decide the next American tennis championship and restore Bill Tilden to the crown Reno LaCoste of France captured last year at Forest Hills.
With Tilden now in Europe and the international tennis matches approaching at Wimbledon, England, perspiration has become an important question in the former champions' comeback. If Tilden can control sweat on his hands, he will have a marked advantage over his Pernod rivals LaCoste and Borotra when they meet later on in this country for the American title.
"Sweat might have spelled the difference between victory and disaster for the American players in the championship last year," said O. D. Neal, chemist of the Odorono Company of Cincinnati, in an address here. "Tennis is such a lightning-like game that one little slip may turn the tide. Sweaty hands might cause a player raucquet to twist and change a perfect serve into a net ball. A drop of perspiration in a player's eye might cause him to lose his timing judgment and miss a returned ball completely.
"Tennis is a game of sweat. Perspiration is a necessity to warm players up to their game and keep them at fighting pitch. But control of the perspiration area is important. Use of a scientific astrology can solve the hands and face it retards the perspiration away to other parts of the body.
"All the great tennis players are so closely matched that a seemingly unimportant thing like perspiration can easily decide the issue. Dry hands and face may turn the tide."

We have received a copy of a neat, cloth-bound book, entitled, "Congo As I Saw It," by C. C. Boone, M. D., who represented in Congo Africa, the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Missionary Convention of the U. S. A. and the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society of Boston. Mass. from 1901 to 1906. The publication is an unique and interesting recital and portrayal of the soil, animals and inhabitants of this remarkable country.
Mr. Fred P. Haggard, Home Secretary of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society is the writer of the introduction. The book is dedicated to the memory of Mrs. Boone, now deceased who accompanied him to Africa. This interesting and instructive narrative may be obtained at $1.00 per copy by addressing the author at 723 North Fifth Street, Richmond, Va. J. J. Little and Ives Co. of New York are the publishers.
LINDBERGH
Charles A. Lindbergh, who was dubbed and characterized as the "flying fool" has lost that title invocably and even Old King Solomon of Biblical fame is forgotten in the world's laudation of his exploit in flying from San Diego, California to St. Louis and then from St. Louis to New York, aggregating more than 3,000 miles, and then in a non-stop flight covering about 3,000 miles from New York to Paris while his competitors were either tinkering with their machines or "ironing out" disagreements among themselves as to who should go in the two-seat machines, which were to span the Atlantic. He on his own motion had taken a "lone chance," being both his own aviator and navigator. He accomplished the feat with marvelous accuracy, landing just where he had previously decided to come down from the air.
His lack of ostentation and his possession of becoming modesty and beaming good nature won for him just as many friends in Europe as he has in America. He belongs to that small coterie of people, who believe in doing what thousands say cannot be done and in taking a chance along lanes and lines not attained by any other member of the human race. It will be a long time before we shall gaze upon his successful like again.
You cannot win by indulging in "pipe dreams" and laziness. This life is a series of hard struggles. The fittest survive.

Come and Go with the SHEPHERDS to Bayshore, July 19, 1927
The Shepherds Excursion Committee was well attended on the 14th a the Girls Home, 502 W. Clay St. The representatives from the various Folds entered into the movement briefly. Eliza A. A. Berkley's Fold was the winner of the sale of the six tickets which were pledged by the Grand Secretary Treasurer for the highest amount of cash turned in for tickets sold, at this meeting. Placards were distributed among the representatives assuring the movement a signal success.
St. James Fold of Bealton. Va. celebrated their third anniversary Sunday, June 12th with a very elaborate program. The Grand Secretary Treasurer. Mr. A. C. Clark motored from Richmond accompanied by the following persons: Mrs. Susie J. Williams, Mr. Roscoe C. Mitchell and Attorney C. A. McKenzie. All of these persons took an active part on the program to the delight of the members of St. James Fold and friends as well as members of other Folds who were represented. The sermon preached by Rev. Newman, the pastor of St James Church was highly enjoyed by all. Presiding Shepherd Harrison Robinson was in charge.
A very enthusiastic mass meeting was held at Dillwyn, Buckingham County, Wednesday, June 15th. This meeting was worked up by our Vice Grand Presiding Shepherd. Rev. S. J. Ellis. There were present representatives from a number of Folds in this county. The principal address was delivered by our Grand Presiding Shepherd Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, which was interesting as well as inspiring. She gave the audience the benefit of a few echoes of the Southeastern Division of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, which was greatly appreciated by them. She received a royal ovation when the announcement was made by the Grand Secretary that she had been elevated to this high and noble position President of the above men convention. She Ellis deserves great credit for arranging such a great meeting and we feel sure that the members of Buckingham County were benefited by it. The party accompanying the Grand Shepherd were Mrs. Susie J. Willams, Mrs. Vilza A. Berkley, Miss Kulah N. Cunningham, Attorney C. A. McKenzie, Mr. Rocose C. Mitchell, Mr. Fred Douglass Clark, Mr. Frank McWilliams and Grand Secretary Treasurer Mr. A. C. Clark.

All skinny men and women
Can grow stronger, healthier and

solid needed flesh in 30 days just by
taking McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets four times a day—as easy to take as candy.
And what a hit these flesh producing tablets have made. One drug-gist tripped his sales in one week.
Everybody knows that nasty-tasting evil smelling Cod Liver Oil is a wonderful vitalizer, flesh producer and health creator.
But who wants to swallow the horrible stuff, when these wonderful tablets—McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets—contain the same kind of vitamins and so easy to take.
A box of 60 tablets for 60 cents and if any skinny man or woman doesn't gain at least 5 pounds in 30 days—money back. Ask any good drugstreet anywhere in America. Be sure and get McCoy's, the original and genuine—reputable drugstores won't hand you imitations any more than they will hand you counterfeit money. And don't forget there is nothing on earth so good to make backward, listless, underweight children grow strong and take on weight.

Richmond, Va., July 8, 1915.
A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waitinp 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 and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE, Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va.
IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE.
I received your treatment O. K., and I have started to take it already for a few days, and it has already begun to improve my ailment so I am sending to you for one more bottle of medicine for the blood. I have spoken to many of my friends and they say they are going to send for a treatment. I think it is a great remedy. I do not suffer with my pains as I used to and my appetite is just fine and I sleep much better every night and feel fine

FARMS AND MACHINES.
OIL WASTE-PAY LATER.
OUR CIGARETTE TAX.
FORD NO. 15,000,000.
The hope of the farmer is in better machinery and more intelligent use of it. It is not alone the selling price of a bushel of wheat that counts but the amount of farm time and labor used to produce the bushel. A man working with pick and shovel could not afford to dig up and sort out gold bearing gravel if it paid him five dollars a ton average. But giant dredging machines in the Sacramento Valley are making millions working gravel that pays less than twenty cents a ton.
Edwin J. Clapp shows what machinery is doing and will do to be able to farm problems, and why United States farms can compete with European cheap labor, and even survive high railroad freight rates.
On American farms, one worker on the average produces twelve tons of cereal. In Europe one worker produces one and one-half tons.
From 1910 to 1928, American farm population increased only four per cent, while production of wheat increased fifty-eight per cent, corn thirty-five per cent, cotton forty-seven per cent, cattle thirty-seven per cent, hogs sixty-five per cent.
The farm problem is not to be solved, according to Mr. Clapp, by "keeping the boys on the farm," but by letting the boys go to the factories, using more machinery on farms and thus reducing cost of production.

"Light automobiles and trucks are being produced in greater volume than ever before." Such is the official report. There is only one cloud on the automobile horizon and that's an oil cloud.

Think of it! Only one night and a short half day's journey from New York and then a paradise of lakes and forest is reached, for Bon Echo lies between Montreal and Toronto in the thick of the famous Ontario lake country. With one glorious dip in the sparkling waters that tap sandy beaches or one orief stroll in the pine perfumed woods, the grilling pavements or roaring cities fade out of mind like a bad dream, and the tired city dweller settles down to enjoy this particularly beautiful spot. It is not together a lazy time that one spend, either, for the facilities for dancing, tennis and horseback riding are so tempting as to be irre-
less price cutting in the oil industry mean trouble ahead for motor owners. Oil is being wasted poured out and squandered on sandy roads, wherever public officials can be persuaded to buy it at public exorcise. *
Oil production is wastefully managed, prices are low—but today's low prices will be paid for with high prices later.
The country needs a continuous oil and gasoline supply, at fair prices, which the Government should regulate.
The nation now is acting like a drunken youth, squandering a rich inheritance. *
Lindbergh has good ideas. An enthusiastic French lady intended to spend 150,000 francs for a cup to celebrate his flight. He accepted gratefully and asked that the 150,000 francs be spent instead on children of French aviators who lost their lives promoting aviation. Lindbergh is a good representative of this country in Europe.
When Count Witte was in this country, representing Russia in the peace arrangements with Japan, he told this writer the national monopoly of vodka, the Russian drink, forty per cent alcohol, and sixty per cent water, which he originated, gave a profit just big enough to pay the cost of the Russian army.
It would interest Witte to know that the United States tax on cigarettes just about pays the cost of our army. Uncle Sam collected $227,000,000 in ten months this year from cigarette smokers.
A full fiscal year's cigarette tax will about pay all army costs. If Government could collect the tax that the public pays to bootleggers it might pay for ALL Government expenses.
Henry Ford last week watched his machinery grind out Ford car No. 15,000,000, and celebrated by taking a ride in the first car he ever built. Old car No. I with its two cylinders was taken out of the Ford museum and driven by Henry Ford with car No. 15,000,000 driving beside it.
A new Ford car, with a different gear shift, double the old Ford power and a speed of sixty miles an hour and more, will be seen in the late Summer or early Fall. That will begin a new Ford fam.

About Your Health
Things You Should Know
by John Joseph Gaines, M. D.
Langer of Small Wounds
A short while ago, a grocery in my town "scratched" his hand while taking goods from a box. Within a week he was dead, in spite of the efforts of three good physicians to save him—Acute septicemia, the cause of death.
Small wounds are usually either incised or punctured, that is, either "cut" or "stab" wounds. The former are easily treated—filled at once, with tincture of iodine, or other reliable antiseptic. A small bottle of "Mercurochrome" is a good thing to keep in your medicine-closet; it is one of the best germicides known and is painless when applied. Its bright-red stain is its only disadvantage so far as I know. I would even use kerosene, or turpentine, in case nothing better was at hand—the main thing being to set at once; infections set up quickly in warm weather.
Punctured wounds should not be neglected; they do not drain readily, as ent wounds do. Good procedure is to make a wider wound—a cut wound—out of the puncture, then soak it in the antiseptic, Nail and tack wounds are typical of this class. Last week I had an unusual personal experience Opening an unused door at a public building, I tore off a bit of the skin of one knuckle on a brass projection of the lock; I had absolutely nothing with me in the way of an emergency antiseptic, not being on a professional call; I thought of the matches in my pocket; drying the oozing blood, I quickly applied a blazing match! This stopped the bleeding and sterilized the wound. I thought of my poor grocer friend, and sterilized this wound thoroughly with a flame. Painful, but a perfect result. I might have done worse under the circumstances. Never forget that time is important in treating small wounds and as little of it to be wasted as possible.

Taping Tarpon Ties Wire Around Fisherman's Hat; Com. Brook Has Thrilling Experience With Silver King
FT. LAUDERDALE, FLA.: Fishing in the New River within the city limits of Ft. Lauderdale, Commodore A. H. Brook of the Ft. Lauderdale Anglers' Club, had one of the largest carpons of the season tie a wire around his hat. The Silver King put up a thrilling battle, leaping high into the air, shaking his huge body in
$5,000 Antique Silver Tea Set Is Token of Quality And Craftsmanship at Manufacturer's Silver Jubilee
FT. LAUDERDALE, FLA.: Fishing in the New River within the city limits of Pt. Lauderdale, Commodore A. H. Brook of the Pt. Lauderdale Anglers' Club, had one of the largest tarpons of the season tie a wire around his hat. The Silver King put up a thrilling battle, leaping high into the air, shaking his huge boot and toast the hook from the end to cast the hook from his mouth. A tarpon will sometimes throw a hook fifty feet. The great tarpon leaped a dozen times in full view of the spectators at the Anglers' Club. After a fight tasting an hour, the Commodore worked his fish close to the boat, and was about to land it when the tarpon made a gigantic leap, tung the line clear, and disappeared. But in throwing the hook, the giant fish broke the hook and ended the endeavor with a small coll, and settled in three turns around the rim of Commodore Brook's hat.
Commodore Brook is one of the star big game fishermen of the Florida east Coast. Formerly New York manager of Thomas Cusack Company, prominent outdoor advertisers, he

From the manufacture of a few dozen interior telephones to the production of 600,000 radio receiving sets in a single year—
Such is the story of A. Atwater Kent Foundation, radio maker branched off of grand opera and concert stars and father of the Atwater Kent Foundation, which is staging a national radio audition through which the youthful vocal talent of America will have a chance for recognition and development.
The old days of Kent's early struggles as a young electrical designer and engineer were recalled recently when Ernest Ingold, of San Francisco, representing Atwater, represented him with a $5,000 unique silver service on the occasion of his silver tribute in business.
"The same elements of quality and craftsmanship that give this silver service, now more than 100 years old, enduring value," said Ingold, "have been present in every product turned out by Atwater Kent during these past 25 years. Those have been the real factors of his business success. Quality, craftsmanship and enduring service in his products have made Atwater Kent an outstanding figure of his generation."
In citing how Mr Kent has put quality and service above quick sales success, it was pointed out that not until this year would he put on the market a radio speaker of the "cone" type. While recognizing a public preference for "cone" speakers, because of their more attractive appearance, Mr Kent withstood all demands for such a speaker until one was developed that could stand examination one cone and stamina in the highest degree. Such a speaker, with these three qualities established, has recently been put into production by aim.
Similarly with the so-called "B-eliminators", designed to do away with the need to train them than three years were devoted to research and experimentation in his

came to Ft. Lauderdale in 1819, in search of health. The cold winters had been too much for him and he was carried to the train. Today, he is the picture of vigor. The health-giving sunshine, fine climate and exciting big game fishing in the open worked the transformation. He has a home on the New River where he is raising tropical palms and ornamental shrubbery to adorn homes and estates. He two motor launches take him to wonderful nearby fishing grounds. He started the Ft. Lauderdale Anglers' Club which has one of the best anglers' club houses in the country. While anchored about a mile from the mouth of the New River, Commodore Brook saw a vast school of sail fish, closely packed

The result was a B power equipment that not only gives maximum radio efficiency but that has passed every test of the National Board of Underwriters for safety. No previous substitute for B batteries had ever been approved by the Underwriters' association. Typical of Mr. Kent's positive bent this new equipment is designated as a "B power unit," not as a "B eliminator."

"Florida is the land of health and opportunity. Its big game fishing rivals lion hunting in Africa. The biggest fish here run up to thousands of pounds weight," says the Commodore. "I maintain that if you put the same effort in Florida that you would have to swim in the water you are really experienced, you will get four times the result that you would in the North. But you'v go to work or fish. Even with Florida's fertile soil, you cannot just sit by and 'Watch Us Grow.' 'Make Us Grow to Make It Go,' is my slogan."

While Mr. Kent is today equally well known as a leader in the radio industry and as the man who first put grand opera and concert stars "on the air," it seems likely that an even greater claim to future fame may be as the father of America's next generation of vocal artists. For the National Radio Audition will open the way to recognition for young singer throughout the country and may bring forward a line of new artists whose success, in a very real sense, will have been fathered by A. Atwater Kent.

NOW comes a scientific preparation from the laboratories of Dr. Fred Palmer, developer of the famous Dr. Fred Palmer, Skin Whitener Preparations. This new and marvelous preparation is known as Dr. Fred Palmer's Pet Hair Gloss, and marks an advanced step in hair culture by injecting an entirely new principle into a product of this nature, whereby the most unruly, the most wiray, and the hardest to manage hair is easily and beautifully trained to a straight, glossy black, keeping it in place for hours and hours after one application.
PET Hair Gloss is pure and harm-
