AUG 20 1927 STATE LIBRARY THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. Cut on Reindeer Excursion Train. Badly Wounded Man is Charged with Robbery-Taylor Bailed. VOLUME XLIV, NO. 41 Cut on Ex Badly Wound with Rob The Order of Reindeer ran an excursion to Eay Shore last Monday. A genuine sensation was sprung, when it was found that Louis Taylor had stabbed and dangerously wounded Arthur Christian, whom he caught stealing his money and other property. In the Police Court last Tuesday morning, witnesses, including Taylor's employers, gave him a fine record and assured the court that he had never been in any trouble before. Taylor gave his age as 55 years. He is the mixer at the fertilizer plant. He resides at 1238 Denny Street. The witnesses were Arthur Christian, Lonnie Hansberry, W. L. Hannigan, L. S. Sweet and C. T. Pasman. Taylor was bailed with his wife as surety. There is no doubt but what he will be honorably discharged. CAPITAL PRIZE $1,605 Is the Cost. It Is Worth Your Time.

DR. JULIAN B. ALLEN GOES TO TUSKEGGE, ALA. Dr. Julian B. Allen, a graduate of Howard University, of Washington, D. C., made a successful motor trip on August 1st to Tuskegee. Ala., to take a position as Medical Officer at the U. S. Veterans' Hospital. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Allen, of Meadow, Va. Rev. C. M. Long Chosen- Chairman A. Washington Announces Committees' Decision. The dead-lock in the call of a pastor of the Second Baptist Church was broken last Monday night, when Rev. C. M. Long, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church of East Orange, New Jersey, was named for that position. Under the rule of the church for the call of a pastor, only one name was to be presented at a time. The committee, consisting of that veteran churchman, Deacon A. Washington, chairman, by a three-fourths vote, named Rev. Long. The other members of the committee are: Rev. M. C. Ruffin, Elmore Woodson, R. T. Gray and Mrs. Mary Hobson, Deacon E. F. Johnson was moderator of the church meeting, with W. S. Banks, church clerk. The vote adopting the report of the committee was 205 ayes to 2 noes. This is the church vacated by the death of that able divine, Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D. Rev. C. M. Long was born in Texas and spent many years in Oklahoma. He was pastor of the Bank Street Baptist Church, Norfolk, Va., from which church he went to East Orange, New Jersey. He was pastor at one time of the First Baptist Church of Charlottesville, pastored for many years by the late R. Q. Carales. He is only 38 years of age and brings to the church all of the vim and energy of youth. He married Miss Maud Hilton the attractive and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Hilton. The couple have two boys and one girl. Rev. Long has been in the ministry for seventeen years. He will preach Sunday at the Second Baptist Church. It will take three months for him to be released from his present charge should he decide to accept the call. His friends here indulge in the hope that he will come to the city, the home of his wife and her parents. His selection has been regarded here with general satisfaction. He is stopping here with his wife's parents at 747 North Fifth Street, where he and his madame will no doubt be pleased to greet their friends. EXPANDED PROGRAM OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF NEGRO LIFE AND HISTORY Dr. C. G. Woodson, Director, announces a decidedly enlarged staff and new program of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. In the first place branches of the Association will be organized in all large urban centers and at least one in every section sparsely settled. There is an all but general demand for the extension of this work. Requests for the organization of branches come from reading clubs, literary societies and churches. There are four important purposes in establishing local branches: To save such records of the Negro as old newspapers, books out of print, receipts, manumission papers, deeds, wills, and the like, bearing on the pass of the Negro; to secure the cooperation of a number of persons who will learn to tell intelligently to children in schools and churches interesting stories of distinguished Negroes who have achieved things worth while; and to promote the actual study of the Negro in a class or club proceeding according to a definite outline and under the supervision of the Director of the Association. To carry out this program the Association has employed a Field Secretary and a Financial Agent. The Field Secretary is Mr. John J. McKinley, of Chicago. He comes to the Association with the prestige of thorough training at the University of Chicago and with the experience of an instructor at Winston-Salem Teachers' College. Dr. Robert C. Woods, former RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1927 president of Virginia Seminary, has been appointed Financial Agent. He will endeavor to stimulate friends of the organization to greater endeavor and he will help in the drive of the Association for $20,000 to publish juvenile literature of the Negro. With his ripe scholarship, broad experience and wide acquaintance, he will doubtless be an important factor in the rapid expansion of the work. A WASHINGTON STRANGER HERE Police Headquarters, Captain Alexander Wright's Department, notified The Planet Office Wednesday morning that a colored man, presumed to be a delegate to the Right Worthy Grand Council, I. O. of St. Luke had been found in the city Tuesday night at 11 o'clock. Editor John Mitchell, Jr., informed the officer that prompt service would be the result and that he would get in touch with the officials of that organization. A telephone call to the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church, where the Grand Council is in session, brought immediate action and he was soon informed by Deputy J. S. Collins that Mrs. Maggie L. Walker had sent a special committee to look after the man. The committee consisted of J. S. Collins, John H. Wade, T. T. Sparks, F. D. Lee. They were well received at the headquarters and at once ushered into the enclosure where sat an elderly man, with a gray moustache. He was thought to be slightly demented. He had on his person a watch and $20.00 in money. He said he had a nephew, Lewis Ellis, living at 1429 Q Street, N. W., Washington. At times he said the number was 1429 Q Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. When asked about the St. Luke Order, he said that he was not a member of the Order, although he had at one time owned $20.00 worth of stock in one of its enterprises. He was surprised to know that he was in Richmond, Va., and he could not understand just how he got here. He said his name was James Jackson. He has a nephew named Lewis Ellis. The final up-shot of the whole matter was that Detective J. L. Wiltshire put him on a train bound for Washington. He evidently had a satchel for he enquired about one. He was put in charge of the porter. As for the St. Luke's committee, it stood ready to render any assistance necessary and expressed thanks that the matteer had been brought to the attention of the officials. DO YOU KNOW THEM? Information has been received by the Police Headquarters, Major R. B. Jordan, Chief, that Rebecca Henderson, 228 Patterson Avenue, Richmond, Va., is dead. She is from Richmond and has a brother here named William Coles. She lived in Philadelphia, Pa., and the informant is Mrs. Alice Jones, 771 Pallas Street, of that city. The funeral directors here have been notified and any person acquainted with any of the parties or their relatives should communicate at once with Chief of Police, R. B. Jordan, Police Department, Richmond, Va. A WORD TO THE WISE If you expect to win a $1,000 brand-new car without putting forth some effort so to do, you are mistaken, and if you expect to win a Hudson Seven-Passenger Super-Six car without any effort on your part, you are much more mistaken. To the hustlers, belong the prize. These cars are guaranteed brand-new. A fair, square deal for all. will be the portion for each and every contestant. No back talk about unfair practices will follow this contest. ALL OF RICHMOND AROUSED OVER THE PLANET'S BIG AUTOMOBILE CONTEST Enthusiastically does each contestant put forth their efforts to make a straight shoot for the home base. Not one has stopped a second to take breath in the great and glorious enterprise. It is a neck and neck race between candidates for the first prize. The actual test is now ahead. Second free bonus vote of 90,000 will end Monday, September 5, 1927, at 8 P. M., for every $25.00 worth of subscriptions turned in up to that date. No doubt this will end the last free bonus vote during the life of the campaign. Do your best and take advantage of them, for subscriptions count votes and votes win prizes. Cambia, Va., contestant, though late in entering in this great campaign, she's wide awake. The throttle has been thrown wide open and a keen eye follows the road ahead. To her The Planet means victory on September 19, 1927, at 8 P.M. None less is the "Red hot" interest manifested by the Philadelphia contest. He is searching every hole and corner. Not even a crack is being overlooked. Bursting and bubbling enthusiasm spells Philadelphia. Our contest there is going over in a big way. Norge, Va., is not taking a back seat by any means, she is reeling and rocking with zeal and eagerness, and now she has reached the point of action. Watch out for Norge, Va. Nesting, Va., is not willing to take a back seat. She says: "I think I can." The home base has not been reached yet. Keep your eye on Nesting. Norfolk, Va., says: "I thought I could, and I believe and know I can." I must win the grand capital prize. Munhall, Pa., says: "I can and will win the grand capital prize." Richmond is doing almost the impossibility. The contestants here have adopted the "Slogan—100% Richmond." No mountain is more than a "mole-hill" to any of them. A home run, and with it a home run and without a hinderance is their aim. Be careful. Watch out. They are making for home. If you want your favorite candidate to win, subscribe now, because the whole State of Virginia is being aroused. Friends are taking a keen interest in their favorite candidate, eagerly waiting for each issue of the paper, so as to count their favorites vote standing. Now is the time to pay up your subscription in order to give your favorite candidate such a lead that no late contestant nor dark horse can come in and overcome their lead. Do not tell them that you will see them later, because see you later never put anything over. Do your best now. Subscriptions win votes and votes win prizes. The contest ends September 19, 1927, at 8 P.M. Some will be sad, some will be glad. May gladness be yours. W. A. KERSEY, Campaign Manger. IN MEMORIAM DABNEY—In sad but loving memory of my dear son, McClellan Dabney, who entered into rest seven years ago, August 15, 1920 in Walter Reed Hospital, Washington, D. C. Just at midnight an angel Came and took him away To a far distant land, Where I hope to join him, Then, I, too, will understand. I love you son, I love you, But God loves you best. —HIS MOTHER, V. E. D. Ellerson, Va., August 15, 1927. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of my dear mother, Dorothy Neal, who departed this life six years ago today, August 21, 1921. A faithful child has gone to rest, Her fond, true heart is still; Her hands that always helped me Now lie in death's cold chill. Life is lonesome, home is sad, Our hearts are filled with pain; It feels like we will never know A happy day in life again. How sad today our troubled hearts, How dim our eyes with tears; For death has robbed us of the one We thought was ours for years. What happy hours we once enjoyed When we were all together; A shadow over our life is cast, My daughter's gone forever. Her devoted mother, JANNIE NEAL. Philadelphia, Pa. C. S.

If all sales records were surpassed by the former Essex, then even higher marks must reward the new. No previous car—no previous value—gives anything by which to judge it. It is the greatest achievement in Essex history. We are now showing this Greater EssexSuper-Six. We could say it is longer, roomier, more luxurious, with greater power and performance—yet that does not express it. We do say: "See it and ride in it with greater expectation of fine things than you ever held for any but the costliest cars". You will not be disappointed.

After waitinpiration 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 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 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, 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE I received your treatment O.

Although President Calvin Cool- idge in language that is purely New England lingo has declined to be a candidate for re-election, some of his enemies profess to be afraid even of his shadow. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker may be ‘erippled in body, but she is strong in intellect. Those who are support- ing her know it. Mrs. Lillian H. Payne is a good second. Her pageant proves that. When people talk about the Nero eschewing politics altogether, you will find those kind of people whe do not believe in representative gov ernment as ordained by the father of this republic. Colored people, better known #: Negroes, will never secure even a part of the great recognition to which they are entitled until they have a representative in the Con- gress of the nation. This can be brought about by qualifying to vots and by exercising that privilege. ‘The Baltimore, Md., Afro-Ameri- can spoke favorably recently about Mareus Garvey and his work.

LAW AND FACT. the argument of former District Attorney of Sufoik County (Bo~ ton), Avthur D. Hill, before the Su- ome Judicial Court of Massach- Sets, in session in Boston this week is one of the ablest deliverances ever peccented to a legal tribunal upon the fundamental principles of law a3 related to the life and libe:ty of a citizen who is charged with a capi- tal offense. He recently entered the case of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, condemned to die for the murder of a paymaster and his gus" in South Braintree on April 16, 1920. | Under the Massachusetts statuts, the Court of Appeals deals only with the question of law and not with the question of fact. That is to say, if all of the strict legal niceties and requirements have been complied yeith, even though material facts should afterwards justify the review, the higher court is powerless to deal with them. The primary charge made by this distinguished attorney is that his clients had to face a jurist, who was impregnated with prejudice on account of the fact that these two men (Italians) were Anarchists. This phase of the case was empha- |sized in the celebrated Lunenburz case, which was heard in Virginia more than a decade ago. The dis- tinguished father of the well-known jurist, Judge R. Carter Scott, enun- ciated the principle that the highest ! purpose of government was the pro- tection of human life and in extreme cases to subserve this purpose, legal technicalities should be set aside. By a ruling of the Supreme Court of Virginia, this view was overruled and later it was adopted as a fundamen- tal ruling of the Supreme Court, for in order to protect the prisoners from lynching, the Supreme Court took actual, bodily possession of the prisoners and they were held in the Richmond city jail, subject to the Girect order of that supreme tribu- nal. This was the first and only case of the kind ever recorded in the legal annals of this State and we believe is without a precedent in any other State. The prisoners, being without counsel, had no exceptions filed and the records of the Lunen- burg County Court, Judge Orgain presiding, was virtually a blank page so far as these particular prisoners were concerned. Hon. George D. Wise, Judge Hen ry W. Flournoy and Captain A. B. Guigon represented the prisoners. ‘There can be no sympathy in this country for Anarchists, who believe in the destruction of all organized government, and who regard murder and arson as a legitimate means of "waging underhanded warfare, but even this should not justify us ir taking unwise action in polluting the fountain head of justice, certain); not in summary executions, until we - have declared an “open season” fo1 this class of people, outlawed them . and given notice that their residence . in this country is undesirable an¢ , they shall not be permitted to eithe: | enter or to remain here. . Speaking of the afifference be ; tween Massachusetts’ legal practice: , and Virginia legal methods, the Rich THE RICHMOND PLANET, RIGHMOND’ VIRGINI mond, Va., Times-Dispatch gives ut- terance to the best deliverance that we have read upon that subject, when in its issue,o? the 18th in- stant it says: if the public mind is not confused us to the immediate ctatus of the Sacco-Vanzetti case, it is becnuse the pubic mind is long of memory and keen of perception, From inquiries received by The Times-Dispatch, and no doubt by cthor aawspapers, it ap- pears that the impression is gensral that the hearing of bills of excep- tions by the ful! bench of the Su- preme Court of Massachuset's indi- cates that Sacco and Vanzetti will have a new trial. Perhaps they will, but the fact that Justice Sanderson referred the whole matter to all the justices, sitting “en banque,” does not necessarily indicate that’ a new trial will be granted. Beginning only with developments of the last few months the procedure in the case has been that Judge ‘Thayer, the trial judge, was asked to set his former sentence—and the verdict preceding the sentence— aside on the ground that he had dis- flayed prejudice against the accused men, and on other grounds. Judge Thayer refused to grant this mo- tion. Incidentally, in Virginia— thanks be!—a judge who had been charged with prejudice would almost certainly have declined to sit. Still, Judge Thayer stood his ground and kefused the motion. So far as the »ria! court was concerned, then, the base was ended. Then counsel for Sacco and Van- zetti appealed to Justice Sanderson, of the Supreme Court of Massachu- setts, to grant a writ of error. That, if it’ had been granted, would have meant that Justice Sanderson con- sidered there was enough probabil- ity of error in the lower court to warrant the Supreme Court in say- ing to the lower court, in effect: “We are not sure about this thing; we'll hear it ourselves.” Justice San- derson refused to grant this writ of error. The result was the case was where it had been all along. Under the law of Virginia, any judge of the Supreme Court of Ap- peals may grant a writ of error— that is, a certificate saying the case ought to be heard by the appellate court, Under the practice of our Court of Appeals, three judges of the five must join in refusing a writ of error. Anyhow, counsel for Sac- co and Vanzetti filed another plead- ing, whatever it is called, before Justice Sanderson in which it was alleged that he had been in error in refusing a writ of error. Justice Sanderson might have insisted that he was in error, or he might have admitted that he was in error. In the latter case, the course of the lower court, Judge Thayer's, would have been certified to the Supreme Court of Massachusetts for such ac- tion as might be within its juris- diction. But, presumably because of the importance of the ease, Justice San- derson was unwilling to pass on the harge that, he had been in_ error yhen he refused to grant a writ of error to the accused men. And he submitted the justice and propriety of his own ruling to the full bench bf the Supreme Court of Massachu- setts. If the full bench sustains his opinion, the case will end. If it re- verses him, it will mean, not neces- sarily that.there will be ‘a new trial for Sacco and Vanzetti, but that the Supreme Court of Massachusetts will decide whether there will or will not be a new trial. Just at this mo- “ment, then, the Supreme Court of Massachusetts is considering whether it will sustain the decision of Jus- tice Sanderson or give ear to. the plea of counsel for Sacco and Van- xetti.

McGee 28 Worthington's company Cork candlemaker 777-777-7777 TOL 11. Schoen & p. This Week By Arthur Brisbane CROSSING THE OCEAN. DEATH AND A TRIP TO EUROPE. NEWS FROM BOTH SIDES. PERHAPS WE COME BACK? Written on the Aquitania on the way to Paris, by way of Cherbourg, leaving New York just after midnight yesterday morning. No matter how often you cross on big ships like this, or little ones, you are reminded that the long trip called death and an ocean voyage are not unlike. You take your "last dinner" in New York, friends are more or less sorry to see you go. That's the death. On board ship you sail through space for some thousands of miles, with only water all around you. That's the trip from here to the next world. In due time you land in that next world, to find it different from this, and very interesting. If you go to Paris—this writer is going there—you reach what many Americans consider a fairly good imitation of heaven. The safety in crossing our little ocean, the certainty of landing on the other side, should make us worry less about the big crossing over the ocean of ether. Once we knew as little about an Aantic crossing as we know now that the "final trip" that each must take when his turn comes. When Columbus started, they told him would fall over the edge of the ocean. The Phoenicians, ancestors of many energetic Jewish citizens, fled from the Mediterranean, through the Straits of Gibraltar, past the Atlantic rock and into the Atlantic ocean, friends thought that was the them. Now crossing the ocean is like going from New York to Chicago. You American Diesel De Engines in C 1912 Tremendous Savings Forecast for Giant Motorships. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The largest ocean-governing passenger vessels together with modern battleships will follow in the footsteps of Uncle Sam's new merchant marine and will adopt Diesel engines in the not too distant future, is the prophecy of leading marine experts here. They believe these great floating cities will make a saving in fuel consumption of from sixty to seventy per cent by using the new oil-burning automobile-like motors that the government has successfully adopted, on a smaller scale, in nine of her converted motorships. Additional economies will be effected in upkeep space, engine height and size crew over the preset steam engines, they say. Battleships when in port would not be obliged to maintain steam in their main propulsive engines and their screaming radius at sea would be greatly extended without refilling their oil bunkers. The above drawing shows the comparative development of the Diesel cylinder. On the left is shown the cylinder of the Selandia, first ceasing motorship, designed in 1912 of O. E. Jogensen, a noted expert of the Nottingham Pump and Machinery Corporation. This cylinder was 21 hear from your friends on both side of the ocean. Business messages come from the United States side, other messages from the European side; when 1,000 miles from shore. Science has conquered this little ocean, intelligence has made it familiar, cleared out sea serpents, taught us we need not put wax in our ears to shut out the singing of sirens, convinced us, to our sorrow, that no mermaids are waiting to pick us up when we fall overboard. All fear and superstition are gone from these floating cities. A preacher on board does not worry the sailors—there are no sailors. Our oceans and our land have been cleared of all superstitions, unreal horrors, chimeras, hydras and gorgons dire. It has taken men all of the million years they have lived on earth to change from cavemen cannibals to modern exploiters of their fellow men and to get rid of earthly superstitions. Many haven't even done that yet. Eventually we shall get rid of all the superstitions and look forward to death and the voyage that comes after it as calmly as we now prepare for a trip across the little Atlantic. As people go to Paris and come back none the worse for the trip, and take up their activities again, many believe those that take the voyage of death come back from that trip to earth and take up their work about where they dropped it. To them it seems reasonable to credit Eternal Justice with wise economy, and it would seem useless waste of time to send billions of imperfect creatures to work in another corner of the universe when the work here isn't finished. We are only twelve thousand years from the late Stone Age, not two hundred years from the stage coach and sailboat. A simple idea like putting the eye of a needle in the point instead of the thick end made the sewing machine possible and freed millions of weirds. We should believe that other ideas will free us from the slavery of superstition, which has driven us hard through the centuries and caused more brutality, fear, cruelty and murder than all other causes together. Tennyson hoped there would be no moaning at the bar when he put out to sea, and wrote prettily about "Twilight and evening star." Typical mid-Victorian, that last trip worried him. Earth's citizens of the year 10,000,000 may think as little about that "last" journey, feel as sure about it as a modern thinks and feels about his trip to Paris now.

Passing of Steam vessels and Battle ships Based on the performance of the Tampa, J. C. Barnaby, engineer of the Worthington Corporation, believes it would be possible to build a cylinder of this design fifty-six inches in diameter to develop three thousand horsepower per cylinder. In this case an eight-cylinder Worthington engine of this type would develop twenty-four thousand horsepower. With four propellers, and with one engine to each screw, the installation would develop at least ninety-six thousand horsepower, sufficient to run a ship the size of the Leviathan or Majestic, or a large battleship. Walking Clubs Throughout the Nation Urged for Return to Vigorous Living by Dr. Wm. M. Scholl, Famous Foot Scientist BREATHE PROPEKLY Train yourself to breathe properly. Very few people do. They nearly always breathe from the chest. Cultivate breathing from the abdomen. The rise and fall of the abdomen with each deep breath taken gives the vital organs in this region stimulation. This muscular action is particularly valuable in overcoming constipation. Proper breathing is also the greatest blood purifier known to man. Take a deep breath inhaling through the nose, then walk as many steps as you can comfortably, and slowly exhale through the mouth while you are walking. Repeat this at short intervals. This is extremely beneficial for you and on cold days quickly produces a glow of warmth. Government Must Recognize Advance of Science In Administration of Pure Food Law, Says Taylor Work in a little walking during the day. at the noon hour, and the evening. Walk from work as much as you can. Regular walking every day, not spasmodic over-exercise, is what counts. Hold the shoulders back, the body fairly erect, and the arms allowed to swing with the motion of the body. Walk with toes on a bheed not "turned out" for the toe out.ouch the foot throws the weight on the inner borders of the foot and subjects it to unusual strain. More Than 100,000 Persons Expected to Be Enrolled in Walking Contests Organized by Leading Shoe Stores. CHICAGO. ILL. — Walking clubs throughout the nation are urged by Dr. Wm. M. Scholl, famous foot hygienist and orthopedist, to bring about a return to more vigorous living. At the suggestion of Dr. Scholl, scores of shoe stores throughout the country will institute walking contests for which they will award prizes for the largest mileage recouped during the week, working in cooperation with the public schools, liking clubs, golf clubs, and other athletic organizations. It is proposed to extend the contests to include a wide section of the population through the inspiration of other commercial industries and to bring non-walkers into the walking clubs. All classes of people will be eligible to the contests, policemen, mail carriers, school children, business and professional men, and others. "In the intensive struggle of the day, most people live a more or less artificial existence," said Dr. Scholi. "They oreathe mostly impure air, avoid physical exercise and ride when they should walk. The automobile has deprived the feet and legs of so much needed exercise that few persons practice sufficient methodical walking. The hard pavements of city streets spook the foot and discourage Government Must Be In Administ The food fundamentals will have to get a new basis. For the findings of the Business Board, herefored reported by faithful followers as establishing for all time the gospel of what is fit and proper to eat, is not fixed and irrevocable doctrine after all. Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor, one of the two surviving members of the board to which President Roosevelt referred questionable food ingredients, following the passage of the federal pure food law in 1906, himself denies the finality of the findings of that body and holds that its rulings should be changed or modified to fit any new facts or discoveries that advancing science may establish. In this he supports Dr. Charles A. Browne, Chief of the U. S. Bureau of Chemistry, whose recent statements that new food coloring studies should be made of preservatives and additives, to determine their effect on the vitamins, etc., brought a storm of protest and objection from food interests which feared they might be adversely affected. Science, Dr. Taylor says, never closes its doors on new knowledge, and the Remsen Board's rulings, he declares, closed none. The Board, he states, studied a given problem in the light of information and knowledge available at the time its investigations were made—from 1908 to 1914—and its findings were based on those follows. He holds it would be foolish to say, that the findings of that Board preclude later studies of new factors affecting nutrition, such as vitamins, for instance, or the possible effect upon them of preservatives or other ingredients. No member of the Board, Dr. Taylor says, Train yourself to breathe properly. Very few people do. They nearly always breathe from the chest. Cultivate breathing from the abdomen. The rise and fall of the abdomen with each deep breath taken gives the vital organs in this region stimulation. This muscular action is particularly valuable in overcoming constipation. Proper breathing is also the greatest blood purifier known to man. Take a deep breath inhaling through the nose, then walk as many steps as you can comfortably, and slowly exhale through the mouth while you are walking. Repeat this at short intervals. This is extremely beneficial for you and on cold days quickly produces a glow of warmth.

The "shoe stores are logical places to promote walking among a wider section of the population than is included in the ordinary walking club. everyone, except the infant, comes into contact with the shoe dealer at regular intervals. I have found shoe dealers throughout the United States tremendously interested in starting the movement for regular walking." Dr Scholl has written instructions for the organization of walking clubs, and has published pamphlets on walking which are being used in the campaign for national walking. Walking contest are to last one week from Saturday night to the succeeding Saturday night and daily scores of contests are to be placed in the It Recognize Advanced stration of Pure Food No ever would have made such an ex- trense claim. Among the ingredients of questionable wholesomeness which were studied by the Bensen Board were sulphur dioxide and sulphites, ben- DR ALONZO E TAYLOR zoate of soda and benzoic acid, alum saccharine and sulphate of copper. Of these Dr. Taylor says hard limits were recommended on sulphur dioxide and less stringent limitations on benzoic acid; alum, after much study, was passed for use in baking powders and in crisping pickles; copper was thrown out entirely and he feels that the action of the Board on that count has been fully justified. The assemblies and lead were rejected without any investigation, the Board TO PROMOTE INTELLIGENT WALKING Don't guess how far you walk each day. Regular, methodical exercise is far better than a spasmodic overtiring of the system. Photo shows Dr. Scholl's walk-meter, or pedometer, which registers the daily mileage. It will be used in the walking contests and can readily be adjusted to anyone's length of step. show windows. The scores are recorded on walk-meters, or pedometers, which register the mileage a person has walked each day. It is expected in a few months to have one hundred thousand people enrolled in the contests. "Almost everyone who is below par physically due to lack of exercise, poor circulation, improper breathing, poor indigestion, nervousness, insomnia, obesity, auto-intoxication, and constipation can regain health and a perfectly functioning body without cost and at no great trouble," said Dr. Scholl. "You can literally walk your way back into health and vigor but you should not walk excessively at the beginning. As a general rule, in commencing, walk until there is a slight measure of fatigue. If under weight or over weight you can get your proper weight by walking and keep it there. But walk regularly each day." ce of Science ood Law, Says Taylor feeling that public as well as scientific knowledge condemned them as unfit for use in foods. Saccharine, which he states was found to be a most difficult subject, was wholly banned as to foodstuffs. The desirability of new studies, in Dr. Taylor's opinion, may not always be based on a need for new restrictions; developing science may show the advantage of dropping certain restrictions already imposed as well as imposing new safeguards. What is to be regarded as toxic, he says, is often difficult to define and sometimes changes with time. Twenty years ago for instance, a salt manufacturer adding an iodine to salt would have exposed himself to the charge of adulteration; now a reasonable case could be made out in favor of the presence of iodide in salt table. A suggestion, twenty years ago, that nitrite might be used directly in the curing of meat would certainly have aroused scientific opposition; today it is recognized practice. Dr. Taylor states that while he knows of no published work in refuting the conclusion of the Renssen Board on the subjects investigated on course new reasons may develop for including a substance just as new reasons may develop for dropping an exclusion. Certainly science must go ahead, he declares; it is going ahead all the time. There is progress in the science of nutrition, just as there is progress medicine, in aviation, in our knowledge of light, radio and other technologies. Studies of the Renssen Board, he holds, established no barrier to further progress in food investigation. They only set up a milestone along the way. ```markdown ``` 4 KELLY MILLERS' AUTHENTIC HISTORY OF A GREAT NEW WORLD WAR HISTORY In addition to its containing a graphic account of the War, includes many chapters on subjects of vital interest.
