THE RICHMOND PLANET Echoes From Newport News Pythian Law and Its Effect--Pur year and West Not Legally Suspended. Election of Successors Null and Void. Interesting Information. VOLUME XLIV, NO. 35 Echoes Pythian Lay year and Election of S Inter NEWPORT NEWS, VA, July 1—The ringing, forceful, able editorial deliverance in the Newport News Star last week has created a sensation here and has been warmly commended by some of the leading citizens in Tidewater. They seem to feel that this kind of political work under the name of fraternism should cease. A leading member of the Order of Knights of Pythias in discussing this phase of the situation proceeded to show that under the Pythian law, Grand Vice Chancellor F. E. Puryear and Grand Keeper of Records and Seal Eugene West have never been legally suspended from the Grand Lodge and are entitled to all of their rights and privileges therein. HAVE LEGAL REDRESS They have a legal redress and the facts are as stated, can be indemnified for their humiliation and treatment at the hands of those responsible for it. This can be brought about only after all efforts inside of the Order have been exhausted. The charges filed against W. B. F. Crowell, Grand Chancellor; W. H. C. Brown, Grand Attorney and Joseph R. Pollard, Grand Master of Exchequer should have been filed with the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal or his successor or substitute, to be acted upon after a lapse of thirty days as set forth in the law. This time limit is a fundamental right and cannot be legally violated. The same is true concerning the charges against Grand Vice Chancellor F. E. Purysar and Grand Keeper of Records and Seal Ernest West. DENIED RIGHTS Is a matter of fact, the latter two were denied the right to vote. Officers of the Grand Lodge must be tried by officers of the Grand Lodge. The findings of this tribunal must be supported by two-thirds vote of GrandLodge to be effective. Members of the Grand Lodge are tried in accordance with the subordinate ledge forms of trials duly modified and limited by the Grand Lodge and the Supreme Lodge law. The Grand Lodge Constitution for subordinate ledges. Article V is as follows: SUBORDINATE LODGE LAW "Any subordinate lodge or any officer or member of the Grand Lodge violating the established principles, laws, rules and regulations may be tried in accordance with the laws, rules and regulations and be punished by fine or suspension. Said trial shall be conducted in accordance with the code of procedure as adopted by this Grand Lodge for the government of subordinate lodges of this jurisdiction so far as applicable or otherwise as this Grand Lodge may direct". "Article XVI. Constitution of Subordinate lodges: SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT "Section 1. Charges or complaints made against members of the lodge under the penal provisions of the laws, rules and regulations shall be reduced to writing and distinctly state the cause, time and place of occurrence. The Keeper of Records and Seal shall furnish the accused with a copy thereof and a notice that the matter will be taken up for consideration at the next regular meeting of the Lodge when a committee of five members of the Rank of Knight shall be appointed." OTHER EXPLANATIONS The expression "or otherwise as the Grand Lodge may direct" is governed by the limitations set forth in the Supreme Lodge Constitution as is stated in Article IV of the Grand Lodge Constitution, to wit: "Powers and jurisdiction of Grand Lodge This Grand Lodge shall have jurisdiction over all lodges of RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1927 observed." The facts are Grand Vice Chancellor: F. E. Puryear and Grand Keeper of Records and Seal Eugene West had charges filed against them Thursday afternoon, June 23 1927 and were forced into a trial and suspended Friday, June 24. 1927. This suspension was null and void. They were denied the right to be candidates for office and also denied the right to vote, when it became plainly evident that they had secured the support of a majority of the bonafide delegates to the Grand Lodge, upon a platform of retrenchment and reform. ELECTION NULLIFIED The election of officers by this act became null and void. It was a fraudulent election, in that legal voters were denied the right of franchise. The old officers hold over but those elected are not legally elected. F. E. Puryear is still Grand Vice Cancellor and Eugene West is still Grand Keeper of Records and seal and W. W. Foreman is still Grand Lecturer and F. G. Elliot is still Grand Medical Register and L. R. Woolridge is still an official of the Grand Lodge. They must now exhaust their remedies inside of the Order before they will have the fraternal right to appeal to the courts of the State. GRAND CHANCELLOR LIABLE. Grand Chancellor W. B. F. Crowell made himself liable to additional charges when he openly violated these laws, both State and National and denied fundamental Pythian rights to members of the knighthood with the laws written plainly to guide him. It is this view of the situation that is agitating the Pythains here in this city and the question is, "What are Puryane and West going to do about it?" In the meantime, the word disgust is a mild designation of the feeling of the citizens here in discussing the situation. Knights of Pythias within the State of Virginia; none of which can legally exist without its sanction or authority. It possesses the rights and power of granting charters, of suspending or taking away the same upon proper cause, of receiving and hearing of appeals, of redressing grievances and complaints arising in the lodges under its jurisdiction, of enacting laws for its own government and support—in all conformable to the laws of the Supreme Lodge." OTHER PROVISIONS. So that "in all conformable to the laws of the Supreme Lodge. The Supreme Lodge law, Section 50 Paragraph B reads: "The Grand Chancellor or any officer of the Grand Lodge shall be liable to impeachment for 'inebriety, or for the breach of trust in connection with the funds of the Order or for violation of the criminal laws? His country, involving moral turpitude or for neglect of his official duties or obligations or for conduct unbecoming a Knight. "C. Articles of impeachment may be preferred against the Grand Chancellor or the Grand Lodge officers by five (5) or more Grand Representatives or by three (3) or more Grand Lodge officers. "The Grand Lodge officers other than those preferring the charges shall be the Tribunal before which the Grand Chancellor or other Grand Lodge officers shall be tried. The accused shall not have a vote in the proceedings. MUST FILE CHARGES "The articles of impeachment herein provided for shall specify the offense or offenses charged with clearness and precision and with reasonable detail as to time and place and circumstances, and be signed by the parties preferring them and shall be filed with the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal. "No articles of impeachment shall be dismissed for want of formality. The ranking officer of the trial Tribunal shall preside and shall fix a time and place for the trial, and at once notify the other members of the Tribunal of the time and place appointed; thereupon the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal shall attest and issue a summons citing the accused to appear before the Tribunal on the date and at the time and place selected. He shall accompany the summons with a correct copy of the charges. THIRTY DAYS NOTICE "Service shall be by registered letter or personal service by some member of the Grand Lodge. The accused shall have at least thirty (30) days' notice of the said trial. At least twenty (20) days' notice of the time and place shall be given of the time to take depositions. All such notices must be given through the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal. "In all cases, either party may be represented by counsel provided such counsel or counsels shall be members of the Order in good standing. The accused officer shall be suspended from the exercise of all official duties until his acquittal and the judgment shall not extend beyond removal from office, or disqualification to hold office in the Order thereafter, or both, and shall not prevent trial and conviction in any other department of the Order for the same offense in his jurisdiction." SUPREME CHANCELLOR'S DUTIES "The Trouble With This Dog Catching Business" ___ By Albert T. Reid DOG CATCHER GENEVA CONFERENCE DISARMMENT NATIONAL JEALOUSIES Albert T. Reid AUTO CARTER ELECTION NULLIFIED Woman Kills Her Husband (Special by John Mitchell Jr.) Frank Smith a colored man, was stabbed in the left shoulder by Mabel Smith, his wife, in their room at 521 N. 7th St. Thursday evening at 7 o'clock. He was carried until the back yard and laid out until the arrival of the ambulance. Then he was removed to St. Phillips Hospital, where he died shortly afterwards. In the pen in the Police Court last Friday morning stood a light, brown-skinned woman, who claimed to be 19 years of age, but who looked much older. She told the story of the happening. DECIDED TO MOVE. She and her husband had decided to move to 619 N. 6th St. He had a friend there. She went around and asked if he was there. She was told that he was not there. She waited and watched and a short time afterwards she saw him come out of the house. She got after him about the statement made by the woman there. Then they walked to 521 N. 7th St. where they had a room on the second floor in the rear. One word brought on another. Finally she struck him with the hair brush. Then a milk bottle was thrown. DROPPED THE KNIFE. She sat down on the bed. He came towards her and began choking her. They struggled on the bed. He had a knife in his hand and in the struggle opened it with his teeth. Her struggles caused him to drop the knife. He tried to get it. She could feel it under her body and she was trying to work it under the pillow. She got the knife in her hand and he told her she had beaten him to it. She then stabbed him. He said she had killed him. Then she got up and called the lady in the house to get a doctor. WANTED TO GET OUT H₂ was carried to St. Phillips Hospital, where he died. She said it was a plain case of self-defense and she wanted to b₂ balled at once. She had a sister, Rosa Scott, who lived at 104 W. Marshall St. Her father lives at Radium, near Emporia Va. Frank Smith is from Rocky Mount N. C. and he has a sister Mary Joiner, living there now. A later visit to 521 N. 7th St. brought out the fact that Madison Crane rents the house. Miss Virginia Crane said that Mable Smith and her husband are making quite a noise up there in the room. STABBED TO DEATH. They came down the steps and he exclaimed that Mable had stabbed him to death. Then he was carried out in the back yard and he remained there until carried away in the ambulance. Police officers from headquarters were there then and we went up into the rear room. There was the hair brush, the milk bottle the pillow on the bed and the bloody sheets, and more splodts of blood on the floor. It was the chamber of death. Leaving there I met the officers again at 619 N. 6th St. No one answered the hammering upon the door. EVERYBODY WORKS BUT FATHER It was opened. Everybody worked out and all inside doors were locked. In the yard, a settled colored woman explained that she felt unwell and had remained home for the day, while an elderly man downstairs said he had been sick for several years. They knew nothing about the tenants in front. We passed out. The officers evidently went to headquarters and I went to the Planet office to write this story of the tragedy. SHEPHERD NOTES A large thriving Fold which had been gotten together by Mrs. Hilza A. Berkley was organized on the 6th by cur Grand Presiding Shepherd Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes in company with Mrs. Eliza A. Berkley, Mrs. Susie J. Williams, Lawyer C. A. McKenzie, Mrs. Pollo Graves, Mrs. Susie H. Robinson and others. Mrs. Berkley deserves great credit for the excellent work she is doing for our Order in organization of new Folds. She is also showing herself a great power in the excursion movement. Rev Charles S. Morris and family with a visiting friend motored to Norfolk, Va. last Friday morning, where Dr. Morris was called to fill an important business engagement While there they visited Virginia Beach and other interesting places. They left for Richmond the same evening. Little Miss Faith E. Morris is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Lawrence, 951 Rugby St Norfolk, Va. Mr. George T. Frye has renovated his barber parlors at 627 N. 2nd St. and they are among the best in the city. He has 5 white metal enamelled chairs and has installed the first white enamelled cash register in any shop in Richmond. JURISTS DAUGHTER HONORED. "Yes, really, I am acting Secretary of the Commonwealth. "You havent found it out yet? Well, I have been since last Friday. Mr. Hutchinson went on his vacation, and I being the senior clerk in the office, was designated to act for him. Please don't say anything about it." The speaker was Miss Ellen B. Scott, daughter of Judge R. Carter Scott, of the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond. She is known to her friends as "Bunny." First among the reasons that this is significant is that it is the first time in all the long history of Virginia a woman has been designated Secretary of the Commonwealth. Mr. Hutchinson is expected to be back in the office this morning. Then Miss Scott, as a public official will be incorporated in that section of history which tells of women who have held high place in the conduct of government. —Times-Dispatch, July 8.

Randolph 2213. PRICE. FIVE CENTS. C. P. HAYES. Funeral Director C. P. Hayes has been steadily making progress as was attested by his skillful handling of some of the most remarkable cases in this city. The funeral of the venerable Rev. R. J. Bass tested the skill of himself and his associates. He gave absolute satisfaction and the family is outspoken in commending the excellence of the service. The remains is this instance were at the Duval Street residence and from there conveyed to the Mt. Tabor Baptist Church at Woodville. He had the family there to the minute and at the conclusion of the services which were of a preliminary character, he was on time at the First Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson had announced another feature in the morning's services, prefixing the statement that he funeral cortege had not arrived. Some one whispered that the people were outside and hurried efforts were made to prepare for the entry. At the cemetery, the services were impressive. The vault was handled "without a hitch." A friend was so deeply impressed that he authorized this statement without the knowledge of the hard-working funeral Director C. P. Haves. IN MEMORIAM Shaped to the memory of our dear Father, Lee Miller, who died July 10 1926: Rest in peace, dear Father: One long year has passed away.

It bridges deep guilts and crosses expanses of water so vast that passengers on the first train, which rolled into Key West on March 22, 1912, had been almost of sight of land. On the 22nd of next January, this line, the Overseas Extension of Florida East Coast Railway, will celebrate the 460th anniversary of its completion. The construction of the road was the most colossal engineering feat of its land. It cost the late Henry M. Flagier fifty million dollars of his own money, for other capitalists would not endorse the tremendous engineering adventure. But so perfect is its design and so massive its construction that it has weathered the raging elements with ease. This writer has just been over the wonderful series of bridges and mammoth viaducts which rise out of the green ocean, on a gasoline-driven hand car. The hand car gave me more time to enjoy the marvelous marine panoramas and the palm-clad keys, or islands, which the road traverses, then is available to passengers who speed in Pullman cars to Key West and Omaha. It was a thrilling journey, clattering along, 35 feet above the ocean, on a hand car. West as Far as Man could see. It was the crowning alum of the Flagler's vision when having built the Florida East Coast Railroad from Jacksonville down the coast and to the southern up of the coast he mapped the ocean to Key West going far or as man could go in the point where the main drift crest hugs the 1,000 foot-deep channel by Green Key West and Havana. d.

He had pioneered in Florida and saw great advantages of Key West, our Southernmost city for handling the commerce of Cuba and Central and South America. Its harbor could accommodate the navies of the world, and it commanded the Panama gateway. Mr Flagler established an immense terminal at Key West, connecting his railroad with Cuba by ocean ferries, each ferry carrying 24 to 32 loaded freight cars. Passenger steamers also connect with trains, and time has been stepped up so you can reach Havana in a little over fifty hours from New York by rail. The ferry across takes about 7 hours. Key great achievement, the Eighth Wonder of the World. My journey was filled with strange sights. From the front of the hand car, I could often look down between the railroad ties to the ocean, 35 feet below me. I could, occasionally, see small sharks, huge rays that looked like giant bats.

But almost always there are great dashes of color great ribbons of purple, cream, pink ivory white, brown and other hues, spread over the surface like a gorgeous Persian rug. It is due partially to the reflective surface of the greens of white coral, green and brown seaweed, gorgonians, and other marine life existing on the bottom. Nothing more beautiful and startling can be imagined. The Whale Sharks at Pigeon Key. The railroad stepped over the water, and at Pigeon Key we looked down upon a little island amid the amethystine sea, only four acres in extent but supporting a population and a school house, the latter in charge of Miss Edith Carman who had come down from Kentucky.

A churning torrent tears beneath the great concrete archas at the tide rushes out to the Atlantic or flows toward the Gulf of Mexico. Because of the exceptional conditions under which construction had to be done all work was under the direct supervision of the company's consulting engineer. The equipment included floating hotels, workshops, barges, floating derricks, and Mississippi River stern-wheel steamers. Some of the piers rise out of water 30 feet in depth, and for long stretches water from eighteen to twenty-four feet deep is traversed.

Mr. Flagler's Dream Realized Mr. Flahler's Dream Realized The complete realization of Mr. Flahler's dreams was the recent double-tracking of the road between Jacksonville and Miami, and other improvements brought about at an expenditure of sixty million dollars. The line is now one of the most modern in the world in construction equipment, and operation. The double tracking was finished during the great so-called Florida boom so done as to have been with traffic. A 216-foot bridge span weighing 1,400,000 lbs. was rolled into place in the new St. John River bridge four minutes later. Although even great railway systems led into the Florida East Coast Railway Jacksonville and freight cars piled up on sidings as far North Richmond, the railway did such work in overcoming the embassy Vice-Pres.

Flinley Wilson must have smiled grimly when he read Judge Clarke's decision in the injunctional proceedings at Nowark, N. J. They reaffirmed in a large measure the ultimatum delivered by him and his Trustees. In fact the injunction is on "all fours" in demanding that the New York injunction be vacated against the Elks. It is an old adage, "Let steeping dogs die" and this justified the New York Elks in not proceeding to bring about a revocation of this particular court command The Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. Elks might have held their meeting there and might have gotten away with it, for the "dogs of law" were asleep. Not so now. It is a question of law enforcement and court enforcement. All of this was caused, no doubt, by a report that a trap had been set to overthrow J. Finley Wilson and to elect another Grand Exalted Ruler. $ \mathrm{H}_{0} $ held the winning card and he has played it, even should it lead to the disruption of the Order or to the loss of some of the prominent members of that organization. So far as we are able to observe "upon the face of the returns" should the Grand Lodge be he'd anywhere else, the Grand Treasurer and the Grand Secretary must follow. The money of the Grand Lodge will follow the place of meeting other than New York. If the New York Elks can secure the revocation of the injunction within the next few weeks, they will be "sitting pretty." Should they fail so to do, they will, so far as this particular brand of Elkdom is concerned, have "gone down to rise no more." GRAVEL HILL BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. W. L.

His basis was, "What Evil Has Jesus Done to You?" --- FIFTH STREET BAPISTIST CHURCH Rev. Charles S. Morris Pastor ANOTHER MILE STONE PASSED. One year ago Sunday, July 3. 1927 the grand old Fifth St. Baptist Church opened the doors of her new church home. A great crowd gathered at the True Reformers Hall, (where she had held her services during the erection of the building) and marched in a body like a mighty army led by Dr. T. J. King ther pastor at that time) and halted under the shadow of her dedicatorial services. Days have not all been sunshine nor has her pathway been filled with blushing roses all the way; but under the surrenuous obligations with obstacles and difficulties on every hand Dr. Morris has gloried himself like a mighty giant and braved its storms in a most heroic way. Now comes the real test. Sunday July 31st closes our great Contest Rally between the women and men of the Church; with Mrs. Luberta Blackwell and Trustee R. W. Moss leaders. We must raise $3,000,000 to meet the first payment on our second mortgage. Fifth Street is making history and every member, even the dear little children are anxious that their names shall be recorded among those who are on the firing lines for God and His Church. Not one member nor friend is going to allow his name to be blank in this great rally. Men, you better look out! Women, you better run for your lives! You will know "Who Is Who" July 31st. God's purpose in the establishment of His Church was brought out very emphatically by Dr. Morris Sunday morning when he preached from Matthew 16:18, using for his Come and Go with the SHEPHERDS to Bayshore, July 19, 1927 From every section of the city one can hear the echo of the Shepherds Excursion coming from the large number of patrons who expert to go to Bay Shore on the 19th. It has been practically assured that the excursion this year will increase itself at least 100 per cent over that of 1926. People in Chesterfield, James City and Henrico counties are working like bees to make this the biggest and most efficient excursion that will go into Richmond this year. We appeal to everyone who desires a nice quiet excursion to go with the Shepherds to Bay Shore on the 19th. There is a considerable rivalry between the Folds for the sale of tickets. It was reported at the Excursion meeting on the 9th that Rev. Wm. T. Thomas Fold was leading. For the past two years this Fold has cleared more money from the Excursion than any other Fold. The occasion expects to be enlivened with good music. Get in touch with some Representative in your neighborhood and buy your ticket early. Rev. C. A. Cobbs, the Grand Chaplain of our Order is lending all of his aid and influence in making our annual excursion to Bay Shore on the 19th of July a success. The Boosting Committee visited Pride of Chesterfield Friday night, July 1st and served as a great inspiration to this Fold. After hearing the members of the committee, a number of tickets were purchased by the members. A personal appeal was made to Pride of Chesterfield Fold to aid the Band in stocking the car with refreshment. A generous response was made by this Fold by giving $2.50 in cash and the pledging of eight cakes. This appeal was made by Mrs. Lillie Baskerville Chairman of the Committee and sub stantiated by Mrs. Susie J. Williams who is also a member of the Boosting Committee. The Annual Sermon of Pride of Croaker Fold which was held on the first Sunday in this month was a decided success. An excellent serion was preached by Rev. R. A. Dias, the pastor of the church, which was enjoyed by all present. A party from Richmond was present, all of whom spoke very encouragingly to this Fold. Lawyer C. A. McKenzie. Mrs. Susie J. Williams, Mr. Roscoe C. Mitchell, Mrs. Mrs. Lasker Baskerville and the Grand Secretary Treasurer Mr. A. C. Clark complised the Richmond party. The Grand Secretary Treasurer paid the death claim of Mr. Diggs at this meeting, which was $100. A rich and appetizing dinner was served the Richmond party at the palatial home of Rev. and Mrs. R. A. Dias. At the close of this meeting Mrs. Dias reported to the Grand Secretary Treasurer, a Juvenile of thirtythree members for Croaker. subject, "My Church." He stated that the Church of God is founded upon the Eternal Rock of Truth with Jesus Christ its Chief Corner Stone and that it deals, not only with the body and soul, but with time and eternity. God wants t live, spirit-filled Church. It is our duty to prove to Jesus that we are going to help Him see that the gates of hell shall not prevail against His Mr. L. C. White, delegate to the Virginia Baptist State Convention and Mrs. Mary F. Williams, delegate to the Women's Missionary and Educational Convention brought back encouraging reports and many expressions of gratitude from Dr. W. H. R. Powell, President of the Virginia Seminary for having given more than $1000 during the past year.

Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go, and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large barn. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel.

Crescendo and Dimensendo PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS FOR SERVICE WASHINGTON - Ability to learn curves to its peak between 22 and 29 years, according to a two years' survey made by Dr. Edward Lee Thorndike, research professor of Columbia University and announced by the National Home Study Council. Dr. Thorndike was commissioned four years ago by the Carnegie Foundation to make a five year survey on how rapidly adults learn and his first meeting with different groups, including a graduate student group, a Singing penitentiary group, and a group of evening school pupils in New York City. "Taking the ages between 22 and 29 as a basis and rating it at 100 per cent efficient in the ability to learn Dr. Thorndike found that after the PATRONIZE OUR ADVE QUICK SERVICE RIGHT PRICES W. F.

PAYNE MARKTABLE FTV age of 29 years, the percentage tapered gradually until, at the age of 60 years, the adult was on the same level as a six year old child," says the Home Study Council announcement. "In other words, the ability to absorb knowledge is the same in a man of woman of 60 and in a child of six." "It is significant that the median age of all those who are enrolled in courses in correspondence schools in the United States is 28 years, while the median in which an adult's ability to learn is at its height is 28 years." "Dr. Thordmic found that those between 14 and 15 years old were 64 per cent efficient; between 17 and 19 and 17 per cent; between 19 and 22, 80 per cent; and between 30 and 40 years, 97 per cent."

Magnificent New Church Marks Forward Sweep of Religion LAWRENCE H. WHITING JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, JR RIVERSIDE CHURCH --- This Week By Arthur Brisbane By Arthur Brisbane THE CHURCH ON TOP. TUDERCULOSIS AND CANCER. WHO WILL RIDE? WHEN OLD AND POOR. Man builds the house for God to dwell therein was the old idea. The modern idea is a combination skyscraper church, stores, offices, apartments, swimming pools, gymnasium. New York's Manhattan Congregational Church will spend $2,000,000 on such a building, twenty-three stories high. The clergymen will live on the ground floor. A Frenchman, Doctor Calmette, has developed an anti-tuberculosis vaccine, so successful that its use for all children is suggested. There is no injection of tuberculosis germs. The vaccine merely "suggests" the disease, and routes to activity the anti-tubercular bacilli in the body. The new remedy, called "BCG," was tried onkeys and other animals for three years in the Pasteur Institution before experiments were made on humans. "BCG" is said to reduce consumption in twenty-five cases out of twenty-six. The famous American doctor, William J. Mayo, believes that science will find a way to immunize a cancer. A woman, Doctor Mary Slye, of Chicago, has bred mice in which cancer can by no means be developed, and other mice variably born with cancer. When consumption and cancer are conquered, as they will be, men will be rd of their most destructive enemies. They al know how to deal with th plagues from Asia, one of "the black death," w nearly half the population. Commercial flying, including Magnificent New C LAW H. W A tower rising four hundred feet above ground level is a distinguishing feature of the splendid new Riverside Church on Riverside Drive and 122nd street, New York. High up in the tower of this modern temple of faith, with its set of relay elevators, are situated Sunday school classes, women's study quarters and the like. The problem of architectural design on the 100 ft. by 265 ft. site was ably solved by Henry C. Pelton and Allen & Collens, associate architects. The inspiring Gothic structure combines beauty and praction- ocean flights, may become a reality soon. Commander Byrd was besieged by would-be passengers willing to pay "any price" if he would take them to Europe. Young Lindbergh casually flew from St. Louis on a little trip to New York via Washington. Bellanca, the Italian genius, builder of the Chamberlin-Levine airplane, is building airships for a commercial air line between Chicago and New York. Five ships are ordered, guaranteed to make the trip in seven and a half hours. Each car will carry twelve passengers, have three engines, and cost $28,500. When you ask yourself, "Who will ride in them," remember that when the French built the railroad from Paris to Versailles, actors and actresses were hired to the train looking out of the windows smiling as though they enjoyed it. And when the first elevator with a steel column under it was installed in the Grand Hotel in Paris, about sixty years ago, old French ladies and gentlemen continued to walk up stairs to the fifth floor. The world is a sad place for the old and poor, and children are erud. Long years ago, Anna Novcke sang before the Emperor Franz Joseph in Vienna. Now, seventy-seven years old, she is ejected from her one room dwelling, "not so much because she doesn't pay her rent, but because she had twenty cats in the room with her." Bent, old and gray, she stood on the sidewalk with her twenty forlorn cats, and children that call her "old witch" threw stones at her. A year ago as she hurried along the street to work they tripped her and broke her shoulder. She had been earning $1.60 a day doing fine embroidery. Cold charity will take care of her somehow—or at least see that the cats do not starve. If past forty please read. The head of the American College of Surgeons says: "After forty comes the dangerous age." Five great dangers that threaten you are kidney trouble, heart disease, tuberculosis, Bright's disease and paralysis. It is possible, but fortunately, unusual, to all of them. Also with a little thought and common sense you may avoid all of them, or get rid of them if they haven't gone too far. For ALL diseases there are five remedies. Fresh air, cheerful thought, moderate exercise, slow, temperate eating, regular sleep. Church Marks Forward REFENCE HITING RIVERSIDE CHURCH bility in the last degree.

We cannot all be chemists, dietitians, expert physiologists, or physicians. But we can be close observers and, very few habits can be more practical worth. Careful observation is a duty, every direlection of which, brings its penalty. Most of our grown-up people have, or have had long-lived ancestors. We may have noticed how they cared for themselves in the matter of health; their example is worthy of being followed. If your parents died young, you should note the probable causes, and avoid such in your own instance. Our pioneers ate three meals a day, slept all night, worked all day and, most of them died of old age—not of "heart disease" nor at the steering-wheel; they wore sensible foot-wear and clothing; they ate plain food, lived temperately. These are traits which our modern generation seems to have forgotten. It is little wonder that we encounter the grim destroyer at ages little past the prime of manhood the man who dies before he reaches sixty-five or seventy years, sucumbs to an entirely preventable condition; we must look far ahead—but we do not. We are a band of fool experimenters; we try the "no-breakfast plan"; we try the six o'clock dinner—that causes more deaths than cancer! We near somebody say two meals a day are correct—we follow the fadist. We work when we should be resting, and rest when we should be employed physically. We overwork the brain, and under-exercise the animal structures; when shall we return to the realm of common-sense? It is a pity that, the great cities, to which we are all running for mad "careers", are not the natural habitat of Man! Next Week Plus Deioning d Sweep of Religion JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, JR. recently has been provided, the Indiana Limestone company calls this "a new age of cathedral building." Stone in trainloads has been moved out of the Bedford-Bloomington district to be transformed into inspiring houses of worship. In the opinion of Lawrence H. Whiting, Chicago banker, and chairman of the board of the Indiana Limestone company, the wave of church building is just getting well under way and should continue for a long time to come. Dr. Foedick's magnificent new Riveride Church is a symbol of present day religious progress. TANKER OF SINCLAIR FLEET THE BATTLE OF THE BAY OF BAY LAYING PIPE.

CHICAGO—Oil pipe lines laid underground in the United States would go around the world at the equator three and one-half times. More than 750,000 barrels of oil are pushed through this 86,000 miles of pipe every year. Bate the oil travels over ages four miles an hour, about as fast as a man walks when he is in a hurry, but because the oil never stops, it makes 96 miles a day. "Weight of the crude oil pumped through the pipe lines is equal to 40 per cent of the freight tonnage of all the manufacturing industries of the United States," says a bulletin.

"The oil pipe line is an American invention which has saved the railroads from the impossible task of handling crude oil. Some of the major pipe line systems were built by great oil corporations to supply their own refineries, such as that of the Sinclair corporation, whose pipe system is one of the principal oil arteries of the country. Others are operated by companies merely in the business of oil transportation, though originally they were built to serve refineries owned by the same companies that laid the lines. "Tank ships come next to pipe lines as oil carriers, but the tank steamers are virtually part of the pipe line system as they load from and discharge into pipe line terminals. Railroads carried 11,250,000 tons of refined oil products, and the principal part was in carrying 46,273- 900 tons of refined oil products which could stand the cost of rail transportation. The present investment in pipe lines in the United States is placed at $800,000,000. ```markdown ``` Tip Top HAIR DRESSING FOR MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN Miss Laura Gunter, very prominent in social affairs, gladly shows what Tip-Top does for her hair.
