VIRGINIA SEP 8 1927 STATE LIBRARY THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. ELKS ADJOURN IN NEW YORK. Local Committee $20,000 Behind in Expenses. VOLUME XLIV, NO. 43 ELKS IN J. Finley W Eleme Local Committee Your correspondent boarded the 11:55 P. M. train Broad Street Station, Sunday night, for the Elks Convention in New York City. On the train we met the genial Cary Wheaton and Andrew Ellis, leading a delegation of Capitol City Lodge, with Willie Scott and a number of Williams Lodge members. We arrived at Penn. Terminal at 11 A. M. Monday morning. The station was full of arriving Elks and Daughters, who were quickly wiped away by the subway, elevated, or bus transportation to Harlem to the Imperial Lodge home. 129th St., to be registered. The city on Lenox and Seventh Avenue was decorated with flags and bunting from 125th Street to 145th Street and all the side streets, while the strings of electric lights covering these streets at nights made a very magnificent appearance. The headquarters of Grand Exalted Ruler Finley Wilson and Dalmus Steele was next to each other on Seventh Avenue, while the office of Brown Eyron, Chief Marshal, was lower down Seventh Avenue. Joseph is an old Church Hill boy. Clarence Griffis, another of the old town boys was on the decoration committee. You can see from the decoration that they copied after the city that made them happy in 1925, and many of the Elks are willing to return there for their next meeting. Already, a smoke screen for Richmond has been started not in earnest, but to put over some other scheme, but to put the delegation holding under wraps. The city is putting on its best to entertain the throngs that are arriving here. The Bureau of Information were doing their best from stations, at the Penn Station, and in each of the three Elks homes to serve the people. Colored Boy Scouts were acting at many corners as traffic officers and with their police whistle were obeyed as well as the regular officers on duty. Every old resident of Richmond is out on the avenues to greet old friends. Wm. Duke, one time postman; Bob Smith, Broadadam from North Second, Harper from Leigh Street, Minster from Jay Street, Albert Smith from 17th Street, Richard Braxton from Third Street, Ernest Buggs from Dumbarton, Lewis from St. James Street, Jones, an old attache of A. D. Price establishment, and Policeman John Lewis, of Roane Street, son of the late Ryland and Sarah Lewis, if you are from Richmond you are given all the hospitality that heart could wish. During these activities I am making my stay with my younger brother, Joseph, 122 W. 139th Street, who presented me with a key to the city and a ticket for the official reviewing stand, which was not used, but will be kept as a souvenir of the occasion. Brother Sam is saying his flat in 188th Street is mighty quiet, while the older brother is coaxing me to come to Brooklyn, while the price, Mrs. Helen Booze, on St. Nicholas Price, is tembling the fact that I am not in her flat, as she said she expected me to stop at least one night with her. I have to be a diplomat not to relocate and friends in this occasion and in talking with those that came over I find many under the same conditions. Capitol City Band and Deputy John White and many of their marching club and delegates arrived at 4:10 P. M. Monday. Director Walker Benjamin soon accompanied, and the ladies, as she said she expected me to stop at least one night with her. I have to be a diplomat not to relocate and friends in this occasion and the great thanked asked for more but as they had to be assigned quarters their request was denied and they took to Harlem to the MiTee Monarch Home. Williams Lodge band arrived Tuesday morning at 6 A. M. Several members of Capitol City band also came over on this train. Monday night a torch light procession in the interest of J. Dalmus Steele, of Manhattan Lodge, for the next Grand Exalted Ruler, took place and they marched, a 1,000 strong, by the Monarch Home, headed by the Manhattan Lodge band, they made a great impression, but from the opinion of a great number of delegates, not enough of impression to give Steele a look in for that office. Judge Henry, of Philadelphia, is a candidate, also Past Exalted Ruler George E. Wibecan wants another term, while Past Exalted Ruler Nutter has groomed himself for an (continued on page 4.) Distinguished Citizen is Honored by White and Colored People (Special By John Mitchell, Jr.) Hon. George L. Knox died at St. Phillips Hospital in this city. Thursday, August 25, 1927, at 12:45 A.M. It was a most peculiar case, traceable only to the age of this distinguished race leader. Wednesday morning, when he came to the Planet office, he pulled up the porch steps with both hands. Reaching the landing after greeting me, he passed inside and then up another flight to the Automobile Campaign Office, where he remained but a short time. The clerk, Miss Blanche Thomason, urged him to remain in the office he wanted to wander around. It was about 2 P. M. when Mr. W. A. Kersey decided to send him to his stopping place, 108 East Leigh Street, and a taxi from Mr. A. D. Price's establishment was secured. Fall Down Stairway That night he had been put to bed and cautioned to remain there. At about 10:30 the sound of a falling body was heard and upon investigation it was found that Mr. Knox had fallen from the top of the stairway to the bottom in the main hall-way. It is said that he got up, but he fell again. He was cared at once. Sue Sharp, a hospital where 8 o'clock he expired. It was thought that he suffered a stroke of paralysis. His death was not reported until about 8 o'clock Thursday morning. His daughter-in-law, Mrs. Elwood Knox, of Indianapolis, was notified. His son is there also. Funeral Furnishings in Home City. Funeral arrangements and casket were left to be handled by his home funeral director. The body was shipped by express at 2:40 P. M. Friday morning by Funeral Director A. D. Price. George L. Knox arrived in Richmond, Va., as an assistant to Mr. W. A. Kersey in the conduct of an autumn Keeps contest for the Plant. Mr. Kersey did not think that he could perform the strenuous duties and urged him to go home, but he was a man of iron will and with the statement that he had known John Mitchell for forty years, he held to the job. Other Information I had not seem him for more than a quarter of a century and I was astounded when he entered the front door of the Planet office. He has made history, so to speak in Indiana. The following extract from the Indianapolis News of August 25, 1927 will give interesting information concerning this distinguished American: Colored Man, Old Friend of Riley, Dies in South. Word has been received in Indianapolis that George L. Knox, age eighty-six, colored, former friend of James Whitbomb Riley, had died at Richmond, Va., where he was conducting newspaper reports. Knox suffered a paralytic stroke Wednesday evening, and died soon after. In Civil War. He came to Indianapolis in 1865 with the 55th Indiana infantry, with which he fought in the Civil War. He was a personal friend of Benjamin Harrison, and accompanied him to the Republican convention in Minneapolis in 1892 as the only colored delegate-at-large from the Northern States. He at one time was a member of the Republican State executive committee. Soon after coming to Indianapolis he was Greenfield, where he conducted a barber shop for several years, and became a close friend of Riley. When he returned to Indianapolis some time later he and Mr. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1927 Riley renewed their friendship, and Riley used to stop at his shop in the Bates Hotel, at Market Street and the Circle, frequently. Knox also conducted barber shops in the Bates House, where the dayy-worker, in the Dewey hotel, in the 300 block in North Illinois Street. Owned the Freeman. From 1892 to 1926 he edited the Freeman, a nationally-known colored newspaper, in Indianapolis, and was a personal friend of Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass. He was born in Tennessee in 1841 and was sold into slavery when he was three years old. He was a member of the Simpson A. M. E. Church and Center Lodge, No. 1, Negro F. and A. M. He was one of the founders of the colored Y. M. C. A. He is survived by the widow, Mrs. Susie Knox; a son, Elwood Knox; a stepson, Edward Knox, and two grandchildren. The body will be brought to Indianapolis for burial.—Indianapolis News, August 25th. COLORED MAN KILLED Tommy Rountree, of Jacksonville, Fla., was killed Friday, August 26th, while he and his associates were rolling a 48-inch concrete pipe up a hill. The pipe tilted and caught the head of Rountree between the pipe and the steam shovel, killing him instantly. His residence is at 1411 Twenty-first Street, Jacksonville, Fla. He resided here at 220 West Marshall Street. Among those working with him were Thomas Saliard, Edward McKinney. The accident occurred at Greenwood Avenue and Holmes Street. All the men quit work when the accident took place. The men were working for H. D. Driscoll, contractor. The deceased was 32 years of age and his remains were turned over to Funeral Director A. D. Price. The unfortunate accident took place at 10:30, and Rountree had been employed there for only two weeks. About 25 or 30 men were employed there. RICHMONDERS INJURED James H. Ammons came from the Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. E., with a gash in his forehead, which required eight stitches by a Dr. Dobson at Eikinto, Md., about 47 miles from Baltimore, to sew up and then A. Bierne Hughes, of Baltimore, later pulled them out and made a batter job of it by doing it all over again. A. L. Morton arrived here with a gash in his check, which it required just one stitch to sew up, while W. C. Claiborne and Richard Eggleston, who were also occupants of that Studebaker sedan owned by Richard Eggleston, who was driving, escaped unscratched. It seems that the concrete was wet and slippery and the car skidded off the concrete to the red clay. In trying to bring it back again it turned over on its side and struck a telegraph pole. The car was injured and left in Baltimore for repairs. Major Ammons was out Sunday night. The party left New York Sunday morning and the accident happened about 4 P. M. the same day. No other injuries were noted and the men injured are rapidly improving. If you wish good groceries, carefully selected at reasonable prices, see Edward Stewart, 203 South Second Street.

Danville, Va., Aug. 25—J. C. Sparrow, 42, local case owner, was shot and instantly killed last night, and Charles W. Wilson, 60, who charges that Sparrow was a member of a robed and hooded band that visited his home, is on bail here charged with murder. The killers occurred at the Wilson home at Oak Hill. According to County Officer T. C. Oakes, he and four men went to the Wilson home last night to investigate certain reports that had reached them. They were clamoring for admittance, he said, when Wilson fired through a window, killing Sparrow. Oakes admitted that the men who accompanied him were not deputized. The group included Carson Sparrow, brother of the victim; Howard Ragdale, Floyd Smith, Oakes and J. C. Sparrow. Awakened by Visitors. Wilson stated today that he was awakened about 10 o'clock last night by men knocking at his door. When the strangers refused to answer his question as to who they were, he said that he peered through the kitchen window and saw "half a dozen men wearing white cloths with high hats sticking up that looked like hornets' nests. "What the h—do you want," Wilson said he asked them. There was no answer, but a pistol was held and the powder burned his check. Wilson continued, exhibiting a red spot impregnated with bluish specks. Wilson said that he thrust his gun through the window and fired at random. Two hours later, he continued, he was told that he had killed Sparrow and was taken into custody by Danny. He said that he had received no warning of the visit to his home. KILLED HER An unknown driver knocked Mrs. Georgie Pearson, of 1011 St. James Street, down Saturday at the intersection of St. James and Baker Streets, and did not stop. She died at 3:30 Sunday morning. The police are investigating the matter. The remains were turned over to Funeral Director Robert C. Scott and the funeral took place Monday afternoon from Scott's Funeral Parliars, at 19 West Clay Street. In Memoriam. In memory of my dear father, Rev. Mitchell Washington, who died August 30, 1924.

Hines who was returning to Richmond Tuesday morning at about 6 o'clock stopped on the road the other side of Quantico on account of the fog. Two white soldiers from the Quantico Barracks ran into him with a Ford car, damaging his fender and otherwise injuring his machine. Both cars were carried to a repair shop at Quantico. Mr. Hines is waiting to hear further about the cost of the repairs and as he was not at fault, expects to fry and recover damages. The Planet is on sale at T. H.

THEY ARE OFF FOR THE FINAL STRETCH By W. A. Kerer. Will you be the favorite to win the Hudson Super Six Sedan on September 19th? The final vote scale is the one big opportunity for success for a motor car that holds treasures and happiness for you. Read the final instructions carefully if you would be a prize winner. Provisions that are absolutely vital to success. The present condition points to a hair breath finish. It appears certain that a margin by which prizes will be won will cause great surprise. No candidate can feel certain of victory for there is abundant room for speculation as to the outcome. Results obtained by candidates during remaining days will boundless the room. The race is too long to bank upon any possibility and there are too many people interested in each candidate to insure any one an easy victory. Relaxation at this time is suicidal to success. The determination to win and votes alone will win. Contestants and friends are urged to get busy. Actions will win. The prizes will be won with subscriptions and not promises. Those trusting to luck and figuring on the other fellow will be disappointed. Most doesn't count, it's what you do between now and Monday evening, September 19th. Speed will win. The critical test is now at hand. If you are to win what is done during the next few days will determine your success. Instead of holding second, third or fourth place get to the top and stay there until the last batch of votes are counted, the figures compared and the judges announce the winners. Timely warning: Remember a few long subscriptions may be the very ones needed to catch the big prizes within your reach. You probably need not try to figure just how many votes it will take to win, for you will surely fail to get enough. Do not be araid of having too many votes. You cannot have too many. It would be better to win the big prize with a million more votes than are necessary than to get left by a few hundred thousand which will represent an afternoon's work. Do not let this happen to you for you will never forgive yourself for the error. There will be no cause for regret if you will, but heed expert advice, and back it up with a goodly number of subscriptions. Relatives and friends are interested in their favorite candidates. Other friends are helping their favorites and now is the time for your friends to show their friendship by taking advantage of the last opportunity to throw you their support and to send in their subscriptions right now. There is no time to say "I will see you later." This old "see you later never puts anything over." In case you are taking the paper just give your friends a renewal subscription and when the old subscription expires the new one will take right up. Remember subscriptions and votes win prizes. May fortune smile on you. We wish to thank one and all whom have given us their large support in this campaign. It will be our earnest endeavor to close our campaign here with honesty and fairness toward all. We have no friends to favor, nor no enemies to punish. Our motto is: "Peace and good will to all." With best wishes and many thanks to our contestants who have worked earnestly and zealously to win prizes in the Richmond Planet Automobile Subscription Contest. Help the candidates. If you cannot win a prize yourself, help the other folks, who are trying to win one. Read the Planet. Try advertising in this journal.

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.

What Would You Do With a Million— Quit Work? Here's Your Answer "If you didn't have to work, what would you do?" Jesse Lynch Williams, newspaperman, novelist and Pulitzer prize play writer, believes he knows every main response to that question if put to the test. Fairy-tale youth to pipe-dreaming age, the question of what you would do if you had a million dollars has resulted in the farthest flights of the imagination. Williams presents the problem in modern pattern, and in less than two pages of Heart's current Cosmopolitan gives a puzzling philosophy of life and labor. The Heaven of the Old Testament would be a Bell Williams thinks and explains that nothing of the sort is mentioned in the New Testament. He pours the fortune of a world without work. "Nearly every man thinks his job the hardest and most disagreeable in the world," writes Williams. "It is a sin to be contented. It is neither human nor divine. It's contrary to nature and the whole scheme of our active universe. It is not useful to urge that makes us work. But it is not. I repeat, in order to give us the means of avoiding work." Work for Williams must have personal interest, a chance to use the mind, a challenge to the pride, skill or ingenuity of the operator, a chance to grow. There is no difference between such work and play. Williams advises you to further say: "If your mind isn't supplied with anything else to work on, it will work on itself. It's got to work. Otherwise you'd probably cultivate some absorbing diseases to interest you. Nobody really wants to take life eas- This Kitchen Saves Housewives Hours of Unnecessary Labor DR.

Richmond, Va. July 8, 1915 A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waitup thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, travel, 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. K., and I have started to taking it already for a few days, and it has already begun to improve my allure so I am sending to you for one more bottle of medicine for the blood. I have spoken to many of my friends and, they say they are going to send for a treatment. I think it is a great remedy. I do not suffer with my pains as I used to and my appetite is just fine and I sleep much better every night and feel fine DAY PHONE, RAN. 4908 W. A.

Some of these worn about here now are eight inches be- low the waist. Even the men have stopped looking. | Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois has held his Pan-African Congress and it has adjourned. It would be interesting just now to know just what Mareus Garvey in the Atlanta Penitentiary thinks of the meeting. But then it would not look well in print and it had better be left unsaid. ‘The National Baptist Convention will be in session next week with that “prince of leaders,” Rev. Dr. L. K. Williams, D. D., of Chicago, IIL, in charge. He unquestionably is the man for the presidency of this great religious organization. . THE RESULT IN NEW YORK ‘The opponents of Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson at the meet ing in New York “marched up the hill and then marelied down again,” if we are to accredit the reports be- ing made of the scenic happening: during that week of rainy weather. So far as we are able to observe, the solution of the whole trouble rested in the finance. They say that “the Jove of money is the root of all evil.” Certainly the use of money is a great means of both pacifying and harmon- izing. . Information comes that the salary of the Grand Exalted Ruler was boosted from, $4,200 per annum te $5,000 for the same period of time. The “king kicker” Grand Secretary George Bates was raised from $4,200 per year to $5,000 and that shrewd Grand Treasurer James T. Carter found his annual stipend of $1,300 per 12 months “tifted™ to $2,600 ‘The Infantile Commission received $5,000. The New York Committee of Arrangements received a con- tribution of $5,000 with the addition legal expenses incurred, regardless of what that amount would turn out to be. In the midst of this shower of goo American money, J. Finley Wilsor at once shed the Devil’s horns, whick his enemies during the past twelve months declared that he wore and over night ke grew upon that same head a full growth of genuine elk’s antler, which complied with all of the requirements of the ritualistic cere. mony of this popular Order. Pence and harmony prevailed and it is re ported that the Grand Exalted Ruler almost fell out of his chair with astonishment when Williams Lodge of this city, his heretofore unyielding opponent, cast its vote for him as Grand Exalted Ruler. A resolution to elect him for life could have been carried had his en thusiastic supporters from the other side been in the humor to confer upon him that honor. You may sai what you will, “dough” is still al powerful in some of our Orders, ever though it has gone into discard ir the political campaigns in some o! our States. J. Finley Wilson is nov in full and regular standing through out Elkdom and it did not take ovei much money to produce this result It only remains now for Brother J Dalmus Steele, of New York, to rais the hymn, “Blest Be the Tie Tha Binds.” Whether it be a money ti or not that does the binding, the re sult is worth the cost. In the mean time, as we previously prophesied Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wil ‘son goes marching on. Elks Adjourn in N. Y. delphia, is for Wilson, and is urging he election from their” placard at their headquarters unless the tide turns very suddenly the convention looks like Wilson will easily succeed himself, Tuesday morning everyone ‘was up bright and early getting ready for the annual parade. The forma- tion was on 61st, 62nd, 63rd, 64th, 65th, 66th, 67th’ and 68th Streets. The line of march from 60th Street up the celebrated Fifth Avenue to 110th Street, 110th Street to Lenox Avenue to 125th Street, 125th Street to Seventh Avenue to 145th Street. Promptly at 1 P. M, the parade started, headed by an inspector of the police department, then the motoreycle cops, then the mounted police, then Chief Marshal J. Blondy Brown and the chairman of the local commigtee in an auto, then Grand Exalted Ruler and other leaders of the organization in another car, then district deputies mounted, then Ser- geant Samuel J. Battles in uniform, leading a squad of New York colored policemen, followed by a squad of colored police reseryes. ‘Then came Manhattan Lodge. the oldest todg> in this city. The Lodge made famous by the late genial Frank Wheaton, and kept famous by J. Dalmus Steele. headed by that magnificent band of 80 or 100 pieces, all eager to play their part, clean of limb, sprightly of step with’ the eyes of the multitude upon them, set out to make history for their Lodge and Elkdom; perfect alignment they swept up Fifth Ave- rue with precision of soldiers with their band discoursing such music as was fit for the leading band in any parade, white or colored, in this country. followed by the Mite Mon- arch Lodge and their great band, esual in numbers and more men in their marching club, they are known as the silk stocking lodge. ‘Then Im- perial, but the great surprise for New Yorkers was the Henry Lincoln John- cen Lodee of the Pronx, named after that great leader less than two years old, all young man with a good band nda goo! marcting club. Showers Sean ‘2 Salt and it rained and rained nad rained seme more, but it could no* dampen the arder of the march- ng throngs. They had come many miles to put the program over. Men and worten marched ac if it waz not ining. Quaker City, of Phila- celphia, a coven months’ old lolge, nd their band followed the m'ghty C. V. Cato Lodge and made a fine mprsasion. After standing about one hourin the showers the Virginia division formed in 66th Street, swung into the Avenues, Capitol City Lodge and band headed the diviciea, fol- lowed by Williams Lodge and band. senjamin Temple carried a banner, “We Were Born in Old Virginia.” as tls division, the only one south oF Potomac, starved up the Avenue the applause staried and the bands, al- though small in number, played ex- ‘cellent music, and the men and ladie with dampened clothes ou felt that se honor of Dixie and the old home State and of the dear beloyed city rested upon them and they did not try to overdo it. The great multitude on the official reviewing’stant et ith Styeet and Fifth ‘Avenue, 2 the Virginia Division heaved into sight started to applauding them a block from the stand and applauded them as they filed past; many of the official party remembered their days in the Sunny South, but when the division reached 110th Street and turned into the colored section of the city at Lenox Avenue to 125th Street, with the throng crowded on each side of the parecters so that you could only see the top of huge base horns from the pavements, was continuous ovation for the Southern Jads and lasses. Every window, fire- escape was crowded with humanity. At 125th Street the parade turned into Seventh Avenue, here they put it over on their Lenox Avenue neigh- hors by crowding the roofs of every building from 125th to 145th Street and throwing bits of paper ‘upon them, At 145th Street they turned into Eighth Avenue, where the parade disbanded, as it was too wet af the New York Oval. On account of the damp weather many were kept from parading, but it was estimated that they had 25,000 people in line. In their great public meeting held at St Mark's M. E. Church, Acting Mayor Joseph V. McKee in his ad- Gress of welcome to the delegation, said there are no doors to our city, for that reason, he added, I cant give you the key to the city. Don't ‘ask me for the freedom of city—you have it. He also said that there were more than 300,000 negroes within the confines of Greater New York, making this the greatest city in tne world for Negroes. He said notwith- standing that great number, the Ne- groes gave the city authorities less trouble than any other race. The fol- lowing bands were announced as win- ners in the contest: Class A bands, one entry, 0. V. Cato, of Phila- delphia, $150; Class B, Pride of Camden, $100; James Liberty Female Band, $75; Ultra Lodge Band, $50. Monarch Band will give a free con- cert Thursday night at 8 o'clock, at St. Nickolas Park, 135th Street and St. Nickolas Avente.

AND ONLY ONE STAR. The way of a ship in the midst of the sea has changed since Solomon, the son of David, wrote his Proverbs. The hardy Phoenician, bringing precious freight for Solomon's temple, and the American tourist of the General Grant-Mark Twain period would wonder at the ships of 1927. This is written on the Aquitania, one of many floating cities that cross the ocean, as free from romance as the moving pictures shown on Deck A. Whoever has crossed in old days rubs his eyes, like Rip Van Winkle. Along the deck, much wider than Fifth Avenue's steepwalk, and as most as steady, comes many short, fat lady, leading a small dog to match, with all its owner's qualities, plus a disposition to snap at passing legs. They turn at the notice, "No dogs allowed forward of this sign." The dog wears a beautiful ribbon, the lady, possibly a grandmother, wears brilliant pink silk stockings, of such high visibility that an old time captain might have put her in irons. Much gold on her dress and on her cheeks profusely spread the rouge that Jezabel wore, in Racine's description, pour reparer, des ans, Parro-parable ourage. That modern seafaring lady passes, and here comes another, forty years younger, forty times worse, she scatters passes, in bright red, she scatters all the perfumes of Arabia, which are the worst, stickiest perfumes on earth, and smokes an ostentatious cigarette. The cigarette is used as a wand, waved to emphasize a speech that she smokes, deeply appreciated by a man with black, sleek, grey hair, a stomach caving inward, a foreign accent, and no New Life of Christ AUTOCASTER Prof. Shirley J. Case, of Chicago University, whose book, "Life of Jesus Christ," will be off the press this month, says the Disciples were politically ambitious and hoped for royal jobs when Christ became King of Palestine. It is predicted the book will create much discussion. Kansas Cow Sets AVROCASTER Above, Former-Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois and Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, who now enjoy the biggest booms for the economy, is the Secretary of State, Charles Evans Hughes, was nipped early by Ms. Hughes himself, who declines to allow his name to be considered. more back head than a Russian wolf hound. The young woman's father probably has money. Hundreds spend a week in this floating hotel, not realizing that they are on the ocean unt the fog horn blows. Then some say "I don't like that sound." The more nervous drown the fog horn with two more cocktails. Modern American wealth has changed ships into cocktail and breakfast food emporiums. There are thirty kinds of mucous membrane destroyers listed as cocktails on the smoking room programme, and indignant Britishers on their own ship wade through a list of American breakfast foods that amazes and outrages them. In old days after dark sentimental young people stood whispering behind the wheel house. The older, more serious, looked at the starry sky, muttering about Arc turus, Orlon and Pleiades and the Chambers of the South. That is "old stuff" now. There is no wheel house accessible on a modern ship, and you are not supposed to look at the stars. The only one of six decks from which they can be seen is dark at night. Nobody uses it. To walk there is to interrupt your musings by falling over shuffle boards or imitation greens for golfers. On modern ships one star is enough. The one to be seen tonight is wondrously beautiful, deep and soulful. Her picture, in colors, just outside the dining saloon, shows her pretty tiny nose, pressed close to the nose tip of some gentleman. The sign says Pola Negri in "Good and Naughty." In the smoking room pools are auctioned on the ship's daily run the pools running to thousands of dollars. The chief smoking room steward, generously remembered by the winner of each pool, gets twice as much as the ship's captain. That also is modern. Many a boot-legger gets four times as much as the President of the United States. On this voyage Mr. Newmark and Mr. Lehman display strange knowledge as to how fast a ship will go. Martin Conboy, of New York, looks on and says it's too complicated and not worth the bother anyhow. News comes through the ether from both shores, and unlike the brother of old Jerome of Travers and Jerome you don't wait ten days to learn that Wall Street has ruined you. You know it the same day.

Graham Brothers Truck Wins International Reliability Race For Official Adoption by the Army of the Republic of Chile THE TRAVELING MEN Cut Monkey-Shines to Retain Figure, Expert Advises HEIGH-HO, THE MERRY-O! "The Graham Brothers truck is officially selected as the type for adoption and acquisition by the Army of the Republic of Chile." This is the unanimous report of the special committee of high army officials designated by the Ministry of War of Chile to determine the make of truck the Army should adopt for its services. It followed an international reliability race open to all manufacturers and participated in by six different makes—three European and three American. The Graham Brothers truck shown above with Colonel Ambrasio Viuax, president of the committee, and other army officials, was the only one of the six entrants to finish the test with a perfect reliability score. Not only was its superiority shown in this way but marked economy was demonstrated over all others in combustion of gasoline and water. The average speed of 25 kilometers an hour by the Graham Brothers placed it first in this respect, next truck to finish showing an average of only 21 kilometers an hour. The race covered more than 800 kilometers (500 miles) of mountain territory, including an ascent of the Anes. The committee signed report of the committee, for the of which is shown above, is filled with praise for the record made by the Graham Brothers truck. The translation from the Spanish reads: Republie de Chile, Wr. Material Office. The Committee decided unanimously to recommend the adoption of a decree of the 1½ to 2-ten lay land Graham Brothers truck types presented by the dealers. Messrs. Besa & Cla, Lidda, for the following reasons: A. Having completed the contest without a defect. B. Because of being economical in final consumption in proportion to the load which it was able to transport. C. Because of having reached the maximum speed that can be demanded on the bad roads over which they were run so the mileage Cut Monkey-Shin CHICAGO—Act like a monkey, girls, if you want to retain your girlish figure. Cutting monkey-shines on the bedroom chandelier each morning will give even the tail-less members of the human race that stretch of vertebrae which is the secret of Old Man Monk's perfect thirty-six. "How do monkeys retain their suppleness?" demanded Miss Ruth Miller, health adviser for the Odorono Company of Cincinnati, in discussing exercise and the elimination of periparation odors by scientific astringents. "Did you ever watch them play? They swing by their arms and tails and gyrate in all directions. "In the absence of caudal appendages, human beings may get the same movements and stretch of vertebrae oy going to masseuses, working en stretching machines, or hanging by their necks. Daily monkey-shines on some simple homemade apparatus like the swinging rings or the pulleys you screw onto the door frame, and 67 such a rope are the most satisfactory.

Many striking testimonials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this segment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best sprited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome".

THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE. This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War, and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the terrors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.
