THE RICHMOND PLANET VIRGINIA AUG 13 1927 STATE LIBRARY Virginia State Library PERCY GREEN KILLS B.FAULKNER VOLUME XLIV. NO. 40 PER Dead Tragedy RO DIES BY OWN HAND A grim tragedy was enacted at 512 N. Adams St. some t m between the hours of 8 P. M. Thursday, August 4th and 11 A. M. Friday morning when the body of Robert Brown was found stark and stiff in death. H₂ rested upon a bed with his right leg extended. A wound in the left side of h's throat and a knife told the story. The thickly matted blood had soaked into the sheet and mattress, while h's shirt was stiff, dark-colored and blood soaked. Coroner E. G. Hill of South Richmond reviewed the emains and questioned those present. Brown boarded across the street and had his last meal there Thursday night, being seen about 8 o'clock. Friday morning, he did not come to breakfast and the lady asked Mrs. Beatrice Clark, who works out and lives in the room adjoining to call him. When she knocked on the door there was no answer and conditions being suspicious, she called a neighbor, who succeeded in showing the key out of the lock as the door had been locked from the insde. H₂ then used his key and opened the door. The sight described met his rage. A pocket-book containing $3.00 in currency is found. Coroner Hill drew the conclusion that it was a case of suicide. William Isaac John son's gray hearse was at the door and soon after the interview, two men wrapped the body in a blanket and carried and placed it in a locker in the hall below. A large crowd of people had gathered. They soon dispersed as the funeral car drove away. The deceased has a wife residing in Asbury Park, N. J. The two separated some time ago. He has two sons, W. H. Brown of 606 E. Leigh St., who works for Mr. Charley Bull and Robert Edward Brown, who resides at 624 N. 7th St. The dead man's left hand is mutilated he having met with an accident some time ago. He works at the Tredegar. No reason could be assigned for his committing suicide and there was not a scipilla of evidence that it was anything else. Chief of Police R. R. Jordan received the following telegram which explains itself: Philadelphia, Pa. Notify relatives of Puth Single coroned, 26 years. Gives address Richmond, A. M. She attempted suicide of A. M. and is in an unconscious condition in the Hahnemann Hospital from iodine poisoning. Advise. Theodore F. Wood, Contain. Detective Division. Editor John Mitchell, Jr., immediately notified leading undertakers here and the Southern Aid Society, through Superintendent West and the Richmond Beneficial Insurance Co., through Sunt. Harris. The undertakers won the race, so to speak, for it was ascertained that the name should have been Ruth Singleton and that she was a relative of Mrs. Narcissia Carter's husband, Mr. Charles B. Carter. 1330 N. 5th St., and Mrs. Annie F. Fowlkes of the same address being her aunt. Her mother, now dead was Ronn Singleton and the well-known W. G. Singleton is her uncle. One of her relatives arranged to go at once to her bedside in Philadelphia. The same day the telegram was received, Tuesday, August 9, a letter was received by Mrs. Annie M. Fowlkes written by Ruth in the Pennsylvania Station in New York City. She had come on from Boston and was despondent over the dull times there. She expressed a desire to make good and to save herself from committing suicide. She evidently decided to take the latter course. Her friends say that her mind has been affected for some time, although she has had illight intervals and appeared to be all right. She has been to Maine and to Canada and is of a roving disposition. BULLET IN NECK KILLS (Special by John Mitchell Jr.) A sudden flash, a sharp report, the fall of a human body and Ben Faulkner was a corpse with a bullet through his left arm, which same bullet cut a vein in his neck. This took place Sunday at about 4 P. at 1228 W. Moore St. It seems that Percy Green was tussling with his sister. Mrs. Nannie Watkins who was trying to take a pistol away from him. It went off and struck Ben Faulkner as he entered the doorway. Green claims that Faulkner was his buddy. The body was turned over to Funeral Directors William Isaac Johnson Sons, where it was prepared for burial. Faulkner resides at 920 W. Clay St. and Green resides with his mother, Corolla Green at 1111A Catherine St. The case was called in the Police Count, Judge Ingram presiding, Monday morning 8th inst Attorney Ben Lovencin represented Green, while Attorney H. M Smith intimated that he had been employed to prosecue Green. Green is 18 years of age. He has resided in Richmond for four years and attended the St. Paul School at Lawrenceville, Va. Green was remanded to fall without bail. MRS. ARTENIA J. MILLER MISSED Mrs. Artenia J. Miller, a friend to the poor, is gone to the Great Beyond where she is resting from her labor and her good works shall follow her, to live on through the ceaseless age of eternity. During her Ketime she saw that the poor were looked after and cared for. Every year she would give the inmates of the Afro-American Old Folks Home, 1115 W. Moore St., Richmond, Va. a picnic. Since her death, I am sorry to say, the Old Folks have had no one to take them out for recreation. The Fathers and mothers would be glad if you one or some organization would fill her place in taking them out. As the summer is gilding by, we hope that they will have the opportunity to go somewhere before the summer's gone. J. C. RANDOLPH, President FREE! FREE!

Carter, Jr., is a corpse. His remains were at 515 St. James St. it is a heart-reading story. He was the only son of Attorney James T. Carter and his Madame. He had been a star pupil at the Virginia Union University and it was in a football game of the University team that a chance blow resulted in a rupture in the right groin. He decided to enter the Law Department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. It was during vacation that he sought a job in the Pennsylvania Station, New York, in order to relieve the financial strain upon his parents. This brought attention to his old trouble and after an examination and treatment by four or five physicians, Dr. Percy Mundin being one of them, it was deemed wise that he undergo a minor operation for hernia. He was found to be in perfect condition physically and the operation was performed. When he left the operating table, life had fled. His frantic mother, who was herself attaching Columbia University, was informed of his death, Saturday morning August 6th. It came as a thunderbolt from a clear sky. He was the only child and had but one more year before completing his course in law. A magnificent metallic steel gray casket furnished by Funeral Director A. D. Price, Jr., a steel vault, a sorrowing retinue of immediate family and friends, an impressive funeral at the First Baptist Church, Wednesday August 10th, with the brilliant Rev Dr. W. T. Johnson, officiating, concluded the scene in this impressive drama. With the lowering the casket a mount of flowers in profession, and the career of young T. Carter, Jr., who essayed to exceed the achievements of his distinguished father. This closes the chapter and brings to a sad termination the hopes, aspirations and achievements of one, who had to bow to the Monster Death, who "holds the keys to all the creeds." JUMPED OUT SECOND STORY WINDOW A warrant was issued for Albert Tribbey, a prominent member of the First Baptist Church by Andrew Hughes, 735 N. 4th St., charging him with disrupting the marital relations between him and his wife. Hughes charged that upon his return home Thursday night, July 21st, he found a man with his wife upstairs in Mrs. Johnson's apartment. Johnson being away at Asbury Park for the Summer. The man, whom he alleged was Albert Tribbey, leaped through the upsalps window to the porch on Fourth St. Hughes stabbed the man in the back with a knife. The man screamed, "O, Lordy." He had his clothes in his hand. That same night Hughes swore out the warrant as aforesaid. Albert Tribbey indignantly denied the charge. He did not have any wound in his back. The case was postponed in Judge Ricks' count, and an investigation brought out that a man named W. W. Davenport had approached Dr. C. C. Cook and had a wound in the back dressed. He stated that he had been cut by a man on Duval St. between 4th and 5th sts. In the meantime Davenport's coat hat and shirt were found in Hughes' house after his hurried exit. Andrew Hughes' wife had insisted that Albert Tribble was not the man. Johnson admitted that the coat hat and shirt belonged to him. This put a different phase on the whole matter and Albert Tribble was honorably discharged. Mr. Tribble is now considering entering a salt for shoulde and ingresses. Andrew Hughes admits that he made a blunder and is ready to do what he can to rectify the same. REV. JAMES S. HATCHER GOES TO ROMAN, W. E. E. HATCHER Rev. G. C. Taylor, pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, died at Newport News, Va. His funeral was largely attended. No one here thought that a removal would take place in this community. Bishop Johnson saw fit to transfer Rev. James S. Hatcher to Mount Zion A. M. E. Church, the congregation from which he came to Richmond just about three and one-half years ago. Rev. W. R. Howerton D.D., whom he succeeded was transferred from the Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church at Roanoke to the St. Paul's A. M. E. Church at Newport News, Va. It produced something of a sensation among the friends of the pastor here, as neither he nor his family had any inkling that such a transfer would be made. Rev. W. E. Spraylet, one of the best known divines in this state, who was in charge of the Macedonia A. M. E. Church at Sufolk, Va, was named to succeed and he was on hand to Sunday, al-na-du. Dr. Hatcher conducted services in the morning. Rev. D. F. Gladner succeeded Dr. Spraylet. One of the leading officials of the church informed the Planet's representative that the Church stood solidly behind the new appointee and would give him full support. Rev. Dr. Hatcher left Thursday to take charge at Roanoke. TESTIMONY TO REV. JAS. HATCHER, D.D. and MRS. GERTRUDE G. L. HATCHER To the Bishop and Members of the Great A. M. E. Church: We, the Officers and Members of the Third Street Bethel A. M. E. Church (Continued on page 4) You may say what you will, but Randolph 456 brings a Checker Cab on a moment's notice.

Mrs. Elynn Harris has returned to New York City after a pleasant vacation, spent with her parents, Rev. and Mrs. J. Andrew Bowler. Miss Mary Ransome left the city this week to spend the month of August in Beaver Falls, Penna. Mr. Oliver Lowery, of Asheville, N. C. arrived in the city Sunday morning, August 6th. His stay is indefinite. We hope the same will be an enjoyable one. Sergeant Thomas A. Higginbotham, who has served in the 25th U. S. Infantry for 24 years and who served 6 years as a private, becoming a corporal and a sergeant, was in the city recently. He is stationed at General Headquarters, Washington, D. C.

We want them to give some intimation that they want the car and are willing to have some friends to help them get it. Get into the running, today tomorrow and next week. You have until September 19, 1927, so to do. 6 More Weeks Big Auto Campaign Closes Get Busy--Action Will Win. (By W. A.

AUGUST 13, 1927 President Coolidge is now enjoying a well earned rest and his worries from politicians are practically over. Some people have no self-control and their course is reprehensible. Trouble is for us all and all of us have trouble. People, who tell about great prosperity in this country are like the cream in a milk bottle. They are at the top. God help those of us, who are at the bottom. It is all in the raising and will show itself in one's dealing with another. The Miss Arents Library appropriation has been passed by the Board of Alderman of Richmond and will be approved by the Mayor of this same city. The colored janitor named by Miss Grace Arents will remain on the payroll. The death of Bishop William Cabell Brown, of the Diocese of Virginia is being universally regretted. He took special interest in the colored parishers and they mourned at his grave. Men of his type and calibre are steadily growing less. He is better off. Be polite and obliquing to white people and you will be the same way to colored folks. Being insulting and impudent is not the way to make friends either in this world or in the world to come. When you do wrong, it is often advisable to admit it. The disposition of the employees to run a business will nullify the best efforts of the employer to do the same thing. People, who are too self-willed to work for others should find employment where the will be able to work for themselves. Responsibility must rest somewhere and this responsibility belongs at the head. Liberia is succeeding financially: The President is at least fully recognized as being somebody. Rev. Ernest Lyon, of Baltimore, is one of the most noted characters in this country, if not in the world. He represented the United States Government in Liberia, Africa, for many years and in recognition of his services, the Liberian Republic named him as Minister Plenipotentiary in this country. He has recently come into the lime light by handing a check to the United States Government for all of the money which they owed. The Richmond, Va. News-Leader is attracting the attention of the colored press by its capitalization of the word, "Negro." Our white friends are steadily increasing their respect for the colored people of this country. BOYS' DRUM CORP RALLY The rally at Capital City Lodge's Home last Sunday afternoon was a success. Exalted Ruler Frank Collins was present and Mr Carey Wheaton was master of ceremonies. The meeting was in the interest of the Boy's Drum Corp. Capital City Lodge Band rendered selections much to the gratification of all present in general and Col. George F. Knickerbocker in particular. A liberal collection was lifted while Col. Knickerbocker contributed ten dollars to the boys' fund and ten dollars to the band. The feature was the address of Col. George F. Knickerbocker. He was heartily applauded and received an ovation at the conclusion of his remarks. He made one of the best addresses too that has ever fallen from his lips. He was merciless though in his references to Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson. Mr. W. W. A. Kerser delivered a timely and forcible address in behalf of the automobile contest in the Planet. He urged all to aid in the campaign. His remarks had a marked effect upon the large number present. Then the Band and the Boys' Drum corp formed and led by Major Carey Wheaton, Col. George F. Knickerbocker, the march was made to the True Reformer's Hall, where the assemblage disbanded. FIFTH ST. BAPTIST CHURCH The task that confronted the Fifth Street Baptist Church on its entrance into the magnificent new building at the intersection of Fifth and Jackson Streets, conceived and erected by the daring and splendid worker, Dr. T. J. King was suspended if not appalling. The Church had recently suffered a heavy loss in a bank failure and only a man with the persuasive power and executive ability of Dr. King could have persuaded any builder to undertake the enormous task of building this great structure with the limited finances of the church at that time; but Dr. King was equal to the conception and execution, and erected a noble structure of which all Richmond ought to be proud. He was soon called away and the people were almost panic sricken at the thought of what they would do without the inspiring presence of one whom they had looked upon as their Moses. However, God always has a Joshua when he removes Moses; and under the leadership of Dr. Morris, the Church quickly rallied, wisely closed up ranks and addressed herself to the Herculean task of paying off nearly $100,000 (one hundred thousand dollars). During the past year, from July 1, 1926 through July 31, 1927, the Church has raised the following sum monthly: July, 1926 $3778.50 August 1467.75 September 1686.45 October 3959.17 November 1317.61 December 367.85 January, 1927 3069.97 February 1173.77 March 1702.72 April 1709.73 May 3805.73 June 3515.75 July 5465.67 $23,690.40 Deacon W. W. Blackwell led the entire membership for the first half of the year. Trustee R. W. Moss conducted a splendid rally in the month of May. After meeting obligation upon obligation for organ, pews, pulpit furniture, carpet, chairs etc. the Church hardly had time to take a breathing spell before they were confronted with the biggest job of all, paying $7000 (seven thousand dollars) on the principal and $1800 (one thousand eight hundred dollars) on the interest. This task following hard upon heels any church with less grit and pluck to any hurch with less grit and pluck and mind to work, would have been over-whelming. But nerved for the great task before them, they wisely chose Trustee Moss to lead the men to what proved to be their waterloo, but a splendid waterloo in which the men covered themselves with glory second only to the wonderful work of the women. The women still more wisely chose Sister L. B. Blackwell of deacon Blackwell to lead them to one of the greatest of the many victories the women have had over the men. The women rose up in a wonderful way and without selling a thing in the church, raised $2,350.00 while the men, who of course in many cases had to help the women as well as themselves, laid down $1,311.40. According to the terms of the contest the winners would be given a supper at the hands of the losers. This, the men who are secretly proud of the wonderful work, the women have done and mighty glad that they have such noble women who will face a great crisis with undaunted courage, heroic work and sacrifice, are glad to do. After the crisis was past the church very graciously gave the pastor a month's vacation which he will spend in Chicago studying best up to date church methods; and at the National Convention in Detroit, where he is programmed for a Missionary Address. How different is the feeling of the church this August to that of last August. Then their great pastor was leaving them and they were confronted with the stupendous debt and many prophecies that their church would be sold. Now after a year of splendid work, during which time all departments of the church have been strengthened, the church faces the future full of hope, faith, and courage; happy to say with emphasis "Hitherto the Lord has helped us." Too much praise cannot be given to Deacon Blackwell, Trustee Moss, and Sister Blackwell, and above all to the noble rank and file of men, women and children in the trenches who rallied week after week and month after month with $10.00, $5.00, $2.00 and $10.00 again. To them, more than anyone else except God, belongs the credit of the wonderful work in raising during the past thirteen months, the wonderful ful sum of $33,620.42. MTW. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT Win the grand Capital Prize of "The Richmond Planet." It is the way you set your Sales that determine your course in life. Give to the world the best that you have and the best will come back to you. Give to the Automobile Contest the best there is in you and success will be yours. All things come to the other fellow if you sit down and wait. The only shot that counts is the one that hits. one that fits. The only way to have a friend is to be one. Now is the time to show your friendship to help your friend to win the Automobile. He who follows another is always behind. Be pleasant every morning until 10 o'clock; the rest of the day will take care of its self.

Address H. A. MAINOR, 1309 R Sck., N. W. Washington, D. C. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA SHEPHERD SPECIAL to Bayshore, Sep.14,1927 We are reminding the members and friends of the Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem of their unusual opportunity to make the last trip of the season to Bayshore, our popular sea resort on the 14th of September. This Excursion is unusual because it will be go to Bayshore at a later date than Excursions are usually run. It will give to those who wish to spend the day in Bayshore an opportunity to do so and also offer to the members and friends of the organization a splendid opportunity to go over to Newport News where the will have the privilege of the Grand Street which will take place on the 14th of September, and also an excellent baseball game which will be played by the Capital City Elks of Richmond and the Y. M. C. A. team of Newport News. A day of real pleasure and enjoyment is in store for every one who will go on this Excursion. Please bear in mind that this is your last opportunity to go to the seashore this year. We invite all of the members of the Elk Lodges and Temples to avail themselves of the opportunity to go to Newport News on that day to witness the baseball game which will be played by their own boys and a strong team of Newport News and other activities which will take place on that day. We also extend an invitation to all other clubs and fraternities of the city of Richmond to go with us on that day. On July 28th the Grand Secretary Treasurer Mr. A. C. Clark was called to Norge, Va. to organize a Juvenile, which had been gotten together by our Deputy Frances J. Dias. Upon his arrival at the Shiloh Baptist Church he found a splendid group of children numbering more than forty ready to be set apart for our Order. With the assistance of Deputy F. J. Dias, Rev R. A. Dias and others he inducted the children into our Organization, which was a very inspiring scene and one which seemed to have been enjoyed by all of the children, as well as the parents who witnessed their children's induction into the Order. Sunday, July 31st found the Grand Presiding Shepherd Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes with the following staff in Scotsville, Va. attending the 17th anniversary of Marietta and Magdalena Folds: Mrs. Susle J. Williams, Mrs. Lillie Baskerville, Lawyer C. A. McKenzie Mr. S. J. Brancher, Mr. Waller, Grand Secretary-Treasurer A. C. Clark and Mr. Fred D. Clark A very excellent meeting had been worked up by Grand Deputy Miss Mary J. Jenkins and Grand Keeper of Wardrobe. Miss Eveline N. Lewis. After a preliminary opening of the meeting the Grand Secretary was introduced by the Grand Deputy, Miss Mary J. Jenkins. He gave a brief address on the progress of the Order and made an appeal to the members for their continued cooperation, after which he introduced Daughter Lille Baskerville, who gave a very vivid description of the activities of her Juvenile Fold. She was followed by Lawyer C. A. McKenzie. The keynote of his address was cooperation. Mrs. Susie J. Williams was next introduced. She delivered a very good address, after which she was called upon to introduce our Grand Presiding Shepherd and she did as only Susie J. Williams can. The Grand Presiding Shepherd was at her best and delivered to the Folds assembled an address pregnant with constructive thoughts and upifting sentiments. The entire audience showed signs of having been thoroughly inspired by the wonderful address of this great woman. Then followed a sermon by Rev. Lewis in which he exhorted the members of the organization to be honest, faithful and devoted to the organization and race. At the conclusion of the sermon more than $50.00 was raised in the collection. Adjournment was then had and a sumptuous repast was served in the house of Miss Eveline N. Lewis, which was partaken of by the Richmond visitors to their hearts delight. More than 12 Folds of the surrounding communities were represented. Green Mountain Fold was represented by Director Samuel L. Woodie; Deputy Bettie Pryor, Daughters Maria L. Woodie, Marie Sellars and others. Pride of Success was represented by Daughter Georgia A. Starks and others. Bright Hope was represented by Daughter Laura P. Harris and others. Rising Sun was represented by Director Julian L. White, and others. Monday night found the Boosting Committee for the Shepherds Special Excursion to Bayshore for September 14, at pride of Chesterfield Fold in company with the Grand Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. A. C. Clark. Inspiring addresses were made by Daughters Susie J. Williams and Lillie Baskerville and Secretary-Treasurer A. C. Clark. The members of Pride of Chesterfield Fold were worked up to a high pitch of interest and assured the Boosting Committee; that they could count on Pride of Chesterfield Fold to make a splendid showing in the Shepherds special Excursion in the month of September. Their meeting was highly enjoyed by all present. 666 is a prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue Bilious Fever and Malaria It Kills the Germs. --- Checker Cab Low Rates and Prompt Service WHEN YOU WANT SERVICE BADLY YOU WANT IT AT ONCE!

The connection conceals this, he is original, deeply spiritual, highly intellectual reaching men's consciences thru their minds and hearts. Sound in doctrine and possessing a wit and delivery all of his own. Richmond has been at his command for over three years. All of the churches and schools have opened their doors and welcomed him. He has built a larger interdenominational and inter-racial fellowship for Bethel than she has ever enjoyed. Churches all over the country sofitic and enjoy his preaching. A Worker Our Bethel Tithing Band. Bethel Male and Mixed Quartettes, Bethel Brotherhood, Bethel Children Church. "Week End Bible Class" are among his creations and organizations. He has in these three years beautifully painted and renovated our church. Bought and furnished and installed hot water heating plant in new parsonage. He has had fellowship meetings between the races as we have never seen before. We reluctantly bow to the will of the Bishop in sending him back to Roanoke, the seat of the next Annual Conference. We congratulate the church in and the city of Roanoke while our hearts and the hearts of children are burdened. All said of him is equally true of Mrs. Gertrude Hatcher, his wife, so faithful who has been to us a leader and an inspiration. Dr. and Mrs. Hatcher leave us having our profound respect, confidence and esteem for their spiritual, moral and intellectual worth.

LATTA AND W.R. MAC INNESS ```markdown ``` This Week By Arthur Brisbane THE AVERAGE FARMER. KNOW YOURSELF, ADD 10 YEARS AN EXPENSIVE SPANKING. O. H. KAHN, WISE FATHER. How would you like to be the average American farmer? His farm is 315 acres. His investment $16,308. His average net return for 1926 was $1,133. He could make more than that driving a street car, getting regular sleep, not worrying about weather, lame horses, sick cows, rust on wheat, bugs on potatoes, blight in the orchards, etc. The puzzling question is why is a farmer? More important to millions of Americans, cotton has gone to a new high price for this year, three times on three consecutive days. When cotton, not long ago, sold at half today's price, this writer said to Mr. Clarence Dillon, ingenius New York financier: "Buy yourself plenty of cotton and you will make a great deal of money." Dr. Sherman, of Columbia University, shows that man's "vital years" can be increased by the right diet. Efficiency can begin earlier and last longer if men eat enough of the right things. Chemistry applied to diet will soon add ten years to the working period of human life. Mrs. Aimee Semple McPherson, whose conversion of sinners proves her inspired, fights as well as she converts. Her former choir leader, Mr. Nichols, says: "Confess what really happened when you were supposed to be kid-naped." Mrs. Aimee Semple replies: "I told the truth, walked in the light, and you are only looking for advertising, which you need." There is nothing like courage to take you through. Mrs. Aimee has it. Mrs. Fader Picturesque Que E.W. BEATTY, COMMANDER R.G. In approaching Quebec early in the morning it is not difficult to picture this old city through the eyes of Canada's earliest explorers. The beautiful peak that called forth Cardinals exclamation, "What a beard!" rises just as grandly as ever, and the site of Champlain's "Abituation" lies just beyond the quai de rot, or kings wharf in the cul de sac, where the ships from France unloaded their precious cargoes of annually awaited supplies. In our time the great Empires majestic liners that Follow Caddis route to the sea down the St. Lawrence and up, anchor at the Caddis cocks in the very place where she sheltered his tiny sixty- spanked her three-year-old son, Bruce, because he would climb the White House iron tence. During the spanking ier $3,000 diamond bracelet flew off and was lost. Bruce saw the bracelet in the air but, busy with his spanking, said nothing. Whipping children causes greater loss than that of any bracelet when it destroys the child's affection and respect for parents. Another American, Lieutenant C. C. Champion, Jr., of the Navy, sets another flying mark. He is believed to have broken the world's altitude record. He fought a temperature 90 degrees below zero and his plane caught fire. An ambulance rushed to meet him, found him grinning instead of dead as was expected. Our atmosphere is 500 miles high, or deep, so thin at the top that a feather would not float in it. How high up will men go? Will they be astronomers looking through thinner air at the universe outside of us? Lientenant Champion's estimated altitude of 47,000 feet is questioned. He says he will go up again and higher. Mr. Chamberlin, Atlantic flyer, will try something new in commercial shipping-aviation. In a little sport model biplane he will fly from the deck of the steamship Leviathan, showing how passenger and mail transportation can be speeded up by flying from big ships as they near port. Soon flying machines will cross the ocean more safely than boats do now and in one-fourth of the time. Then a combination steamship and plane will seem strange, but it is a useful transition now. A wise father lets his son do what he wants, within reason, for what a boy wants to do is usually what he can do best. One of his boys liked music and wanted to lead a jazz band. Mr. Kahn said: "Go ahead and lead it." He knew the jazz band fit would not last long. Now, young Mr. Kahn, nineteen years old, has taken to flying, is his own pilot, and skillful. That does not make his father and mother sleep more soundly, probably, but Mr. Kahn says: "Go ahead and fly." If more Americans with money would let their boys fly—as thousands of normal American boys would like to fly—country would soon lead the world in aviation. ebec, Ancient Capital QUEBEC HISTORY HEIGHT LATTA AND W.

The view from Dufferin Terrace presents in lovely prospect pictureque L'Isle d'Oreaux where the hauntant still follows in the ways of his fathers, and the distant Laurentians form a perfect setting for this old city, where a stately Chateau Frontenac and a frowning citadel lend a touch of medieval Europe to this ancient outpost of Empire in the New World.

Like many of the best examples of modern American homes in all parts of the country, this home is built of California Redwood. Redwood, "The Everlasting," as it is called, was selected for the outside walls and trim because of the great durability which it possesses to the fact that the wood possesses a tangle that serves as a natural preservative. Even without paint, the heartwood of Redwood has been known to remain sound and solid after being exposed to the weather for more than a hundred years. The tanic content also makes Redwood resistant to the attacks of insects which sometimes cause great residential and other construction Briathan Deck to Shore Edison Today AUPOCKET ED A special camera study of Thes.

In suburbs, small towns and rural districts where firefighting facilities are limited, this is an added advantage and protection which the builder with Redwood secures. A Beautiful Redwood Interior. Redwood also successfully solves all problems relative to interior finn and trim, including wide panelling. In addition, an unapproachable variety of decorative effects which are distinctive, in good taste, and reasonable in cost. Bedwood is easy to work and lends itself readily to preparation and finishing; it is wonderfully beautiful in its natural state, without paint or stain, though it takes and holds paints, stains and enamels perfectly. It does not warp and shrinks and expands less than any other wood; once put in place, it stays flat, flat and immovable; joints stay tight and fittings in place; window sash holds the weather; doore hang straight; porch rails do not sag; it thus makes it tight house, dry and rainproof, a house that is warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
