NO. 48 2 A Albert ROBT. Newel Will (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Albert Williams, age 28 years, who lived with his wife at 523 Prentiss St., was alive and well when he awoke Sunday morning, Oct. 2, but was dead shortly after 2 P. M. the same day from bullets fired by Newell Williams in an upstairs room, just about 75 feet from his own home, at 120 Pullam St. It was reported that the men with others were engaged in a game of chance and became enraged over a trifling sum of money. One of the bullets went through a wall and entered an unoccupied room in a tenement house adjoining. Shot Three Times Williams was shot three times, the bullets penetrating the chest and neck, resulting in instant death. About 7 P. M. Sunday a car was in front of Williams' late residence. In it was a man and a woman, the latter mourning and wailing over the death of her brother. His wife was talking to her as she stood by the side of the car. She said that Albert Williams was born in New Haven, Conn. As practically all of the witnesses to the affair had been carried to the station-house, little could be learned at that time of the facts in the case. Many Persons Held This murder took place in the same house in which Daisy Poindexter Howard resided. It will be remembered that she was stabbed to death April 15, 1927, by Josie Day, who resided at 413 N. Madison St. The latter is now in the penitentiary serving time for the crime. Jennie West occupies the rooms below, although she does not rent 120 Pullium St. as a whole. It was with her that Daisy Howard roamed. The following persons were arrested as accessories to the murder of Albert Williams: Purnett Coleman, 411 N. Madison St.; Herbert Jackson, 1103 W. Clay St.; Blanton Vaughan, 1220 Pullium St.; Charlie Floyd, 129 Pullium St.; Virginia Laws, 120 Pullium St.; James Davis, 120 Pullium St. The remains of Williams were turned over to funeral director, C. P. Hayes. Coroner James M. Whitfield held an inquest over Albert Williams Wednesday, October 5th, at 10 A.M. at his office.

Albert Williams threw "Sergeant" a five-dollar bill. It was on my arm. "Sergeant" took it and ran down the stairs. Albert sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "See, he has done shot me." He heased down on the floor and lay down and died. When I left Albert Williams dead on the floor no one was in the room. No one searched Albert's pockets before I left his room. All this happened some time in the afternoon, between 1 and 2 o'clock, Sunday, October 2, 1927. Herbert Jackson. Herbert Jackson testified. I live at White Husband Claimed Wife Had Negro Blood. Supreme Court Sustains Contention Case to Go to United States Supreme Court. 1005 Brook Avenue. On Sunday, October 2nd, I was in the room with Albert Williams, Newell Williams and others. Newell Williams was called "Sergeant." While I was lying on the bed after the game, "Sergeant" said to "Haybuck" (Albert Williams). You owe me $3.00. You are going to pay me $3.00." "Haybuck" said, "Is it?" and got up. "Sergeant" got his coat and hat and started toward the stairs. "Haybuck" walked around the table to ward "Sergeant." "Haybuck" did not threaten "Sergeant" and I saw no weapon in his hands. "Sergeant" Shot Him. "Sergeant" pulled out his pistol and shot "Haybuck," while he "Haybuck," was walking towards him. After the shooting Jim Davis caught "Sergeant" by the arm and said, "Don't do that." Then Albert Williams threw him a $5.00 bill and said, "Here it is." "Sergeant" said, "Hand it here," took the bill and went out. Gave Him the Money. "Haybuck" gave "Sergeant" the money after "Sergeant" shot him three times. During the shooting "Haybuck" and "Sergeant" were facing each other. "Haybuck" sat on the bed, told Davis "Sergeant" had shot him, then he lay down on the floor and died. No one searched Albert's pockets while I was in the room. Charley Floyd's Statement. Charley Floyd was sworn and deposed. I live at 126 Pulliam Street. I was in the room when "Sergeant" shot Albert Williams. "Sergeant" said to Albert, "You owe me $3.00," and got up and went to the window and spit, got his coat and hat. Albert got up and said, "Do I?" and started in the direction of "Sergeant." "Sergeant" said, "You are going to give me $3.00." Albert said, "Is I?" Then "Sergeant" commenced shooting. He shot three times. Then Albert said, "Here it is," and threw a $5.00 bill to him. "Sergeant" said, "Hand it here," took the money and went down stairs. "Hayback" sat on the side of the bed and said, "Kid, you see he shot me." Then lay on the floor and died. I did not see "Hayback" have a weapon. I saw no one search his pockets. BROKE HIS NECK A singular accident occurred in Hanover County near Gayton, Va., Saturday, October 1st, when Matthew Reid, a well-digger was instantly killed. While he was in the well, the well bucket rope broke and the bucket struck him on the head breaking his neck. The remains were turned over to Funeral Director A.D.

Whether a Virginia statute changing the legal status of a person from white to Negro is a violation of the Constitution of the United States is a question which may soon go to the Supreme Court of the United States for decision. It is raised by the refusal of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia to grant an appeal to Cassie Jamerson, who complained of a decree of the Circuit Court of Appomattox annulling a marriage between her and Rosser Jamerson. The writ of error was refused by the State Court at its recent session in Staunton, and the record in the case was filed in Richmond. In bringing suit for annulment of the marriage, Rosser Jamerson, white, declared that he was deceived into marrying Cassie Jamerson by her leading him to believe "that her dark complexion was due to Indian blood, but he now finds this to be an untruth, and that she is a Negro." Counsel for the defendant assume that the evidence in the case showed that in any event the woman was of less than one-fourth Negro blood, and declare that under the Code of 1887, in effect at her birth, it required at least one-fourth Negro blood to give a person the legal status of "Negro." Claim of Defense. They take the position that the act of 1910 declaring persons of one-sixteenth or more Negro blood as "Negroes" is in violation of the Constitution of the United States in that it seeks to change a status already established by law. In regard to this they say, in part: "Under the law prior to 1910, persons having less than one-fourth Negro blood were classed as white. Their status under the law placed their children in the white schools, and authorized their marriage only with white persons." The marriage took place in May, 1924, and the act of 1910 was then in effect, but defendant's contention is that the law existing at the time of her birth and not at the time of her marriage should govern her status. While the marriage took place prior to the going into effect of the recent racial integrity law, even stricter than the act of 1910, the legal principles at issue are such that a final decision in the case would affect the statute last enacted also. Under the federal law, the defendant has within three months from the refusal of the appeal to take the case to the Supreme Court of the United States. IN MEMORIAM HARRIS—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear father, Rev W. H. Harris, who died seven years ago, September 30th. His cheerful way, his smiling face, Are pleasures to recall; He had a kindly word for each, And died beloved by all. His children— HELENA HARRIS, ROSA B. POINDEXTER. (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Robert James Harris appeared in the Police Court Tuesday, October 4th, charged with the murder of Robert Ross, of 1526 E. Broad Street. Judge John L. Ingram listened to the statement of C. & O. Detective Officer Leonard Sweet. He said that he was coming down Broad Street from the Memorial Hospital Thursday night, September 29th when he saw a man shoot into the doorway of 1526 E. Broad Street. The man afterwards fired at the upstairs window. He pursued and captured him and had him carried to the station house. Women and Whiskey Two colored women, Charlotte and Bertha, also testified. One of the girls said that Charlotte had a half pint of whiskey. Some was in a glass and one of the girls gave what was left to Harris. She danced with him and felt something hard on him, which she took to be a bottle of whiskey. It was a revolver. Harris called the attention of Judge Ingram, saying: 'I shot him in self-defense. I want you to try me right here.' He then began to talk, telling how he shot him, when Judge Ingram interrupted him to say that he had better not talk any more. He would send the case on to the grand jury and required all witnesses in the case to appear in court November 7th. Died at St. Philips. Robert Ross was removed to St. Philips Hospital at the time and lingered until Sunday night, when he died. The witnesses testified that Ross ordered Harris out of his house. When he got out in the street, he open fire on Ross. After reaching the pen in the Police Court and the "twenty minutes" recess" as announced by Bailiff "Pop" Tate, a talk was had with Robert James Harris. He was anxious to make the statement, interrupted by the Judge, and which he claimed would establish his plea of self-defense. He said: The Prisoner's Statement. Thursday night about a little after 10 o'clock, I went up to that man's house and knocked on the door. He unlocked the door and let me in. That was his hall-room door. Then he unlocked the door to his front room and let me in. In there were three women. The victrola was playing and a half pint of whiskey was on the center table. They cut off the victrola record and one of the girls said, "Let's have a drink." They poured out the whiskey in the glass and they all went to drinking. Another Half Pint. One of the girls gave me a drink that was already poured out in a glass. One of the girls asked for another half pint. The fellow went out and got it. He went into the kitchen and came back with it. The three women poured it out in glasses. Two of them drank and the other girl gave me her part. Then the man, in anger, said to me, "Man, you've got to go out of my house." I said to him, "Why do you speak like that?" This girl, Charlotte, said, "Yes, put the d—n s—n of a b—h out." I said, "Why do you call me such a word girl?" She said again, "Yes, I say, put the d—n s—n of a b—h out." Threw at Him. She reached on the center table and picked up a cigarette vessel, which was glass, and threw it at me and turned me around. When I turned back to the right, glimpsed Ross with a lamp in his hand, no chimney. He helolled to the woman, "Don't unlock that door." The woman was standing with the key in the lock. That was the time I pulled out my pistol and shot and put it back in my inside pocket. Then the woman unlocked the door and I backed out and went down Broad Street to the left, turned to the left of the house next door and went down the steps, went around the back way in the rear of four or five houses up and threw the pistol to the right over the embankment and then came out the other outlet to Broad Street. Conscience Smote Him. I turned then and trotted slowly up Broad Street toward Jail Alley. Conscience struck me to go back and give myself up because I had done what I did in self-defense. I, stoping, heard somebody holler, "Hey Hey!" Looking down Broad Street on the same side of the street, I saw a man running up towards me. I walked and met him below the print office on Broad Street. There is a house and a double space lot and one house between the one where I did the shooting. He said, "What's the matter, boy?" I said, "I show a man in the house up there and I had to do what I did to keep from getting killed myself." Went Back Again. He said, "Come on and go back again." I went back with him to the house. These girls were in there and he asked one of them to go down to the station house and call the police wagon. The officers came. One of them was angry with me because he could not find the pistol, where I said I threw it. Officer Neal carried me to the wagon. It was not the patrol. It was a touring car. They went back and got the witnesses and all of us went to the station house. I fired only once. The pistol was a Harrington & Richardson. .38 calibre. His Last Query. This ended his statement. Promising to publish the same, he asked, "What's your name?" "John Mitchell," was the reply. "O, I know," he said, and we left him to await the coming of the patrol, which would return him again to the City Jail. One more had been added to the persons now in that penal institution, and sounded in our ears, long after we had left the court room. "The wages of sin is death." The funeral of Rev. John H. Fauntleroy took place Sunday, October 2nd, at 1 P. M., at the First Baptist Church, the very able Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., delivering the eulogy. After the preliminary exercises, Mrs. Mildred Cross sang with charming melody, "We Are Waiting at the River." Clerk B. P. Vanderwall read letters of condolences. Rev. Dr. Johnson paid a glowing tribute to the virtues of the deceased. He had been a faithful member and was present to serve the church in all emergencies. Rev. Fauntleroy died Tuesday night, September 29th, at 10:50. Mr. J. L. Spurlock sang, "Waiting For Me." It enthused all present. Rev. Johnson's text was from John 9:6, and he concluded his remarks with singing a soul-stirring hymn, a favorite of the deceased, "What Wondrous Love Is This?" Funeral Director A. D. Price had charge of the remains and handled the arrangements with consumate ease. The casket was metallic, bronze finish, heavy extension handles. The floral designs were numerous and costly.

Brinkley Delivers a Great Sermon---New Baptist Church Changes Name Again. The congregation of the New Baptist Church, which was changed in name to the Clay Street Baptist and which will in the future be known as the Mosby Memorial Baptist Church, entered into the fine Randolph Street Baptist Church building, recently purchased from the white congregation. It is a modern structure and the spacious parsonage adjacent has already been occupied by Rev. J. A. Brinkley, the popular pastor. The large, magnificent organ did notable service under the touch of the organist. Rev. Brinkley was at his best and delivered one of the ablest discourses ever heard in the city. He declared that there were ten churches dedicated every day. Religion is the only security and safeguard to all of our authority. Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and thy neighbor as thyself. The most damnable and deadly disease among us is hate. Children acquire it so quickly that it is often thought to be inherited. Hatred is a viper. Too Many Murderers. Too many murderers are in the pews of the churches and on the Sabbath Day. He that hateth his brother is a murderer, sayeth the Scriptures. We dedicate this house to the rule of love that recognizes all men as brothers. We dedicate this house in preaching and living the doctrine of love. The pulpit is not a throne. The pulpit means a message, the prophet's heralding place. It is a loud speaker, a broad-casting station for Jesus Christ. It is for Jesus Christ, who lived and arose from the dead. No Angels Here. We care little for that doctrine that would make man an angle here. We stand for the doctrine of Jesus Christ. Behold, I was dead, but am now alive for evermore. May the time never come when this ceases to be a gospel pulpit. It is where one can come and lay his troubles at His feet. Men are unsaved. They want salvation. This church is dedicated to the service of spiritual culture for all the people. It pledges a service of sacrifice unto God, a willingness to put up all that they have, all that they hope to be in fostering the principles of Jesus. Sacrifices First The glory of God did not fill the temple until after the sacrifices were offered. Spiritual culture includes a quest for culture. The church is the custodian of the Word of God. On this corner, our rallying cry will be the Word of God. We hope to crowd this room with children. This house is dedicated as a house of prayer. The people who come here are God-fearing and praying people. The house is dedicated in joy and thanksgiving. We are happy because we have a place upon which to stand. Joyous to see how far we have come and happy to see how far we can go. This house is dedicated to the Christian religion, dedicated to the spiritual culture of all of the people. Led by Mr. Sam Walker, the Sunday School children then sang the song, "There Is Work To Do." The Choir Sang. Rev. J. A. Brinkley had paused in the delivery of his sermon to express his pleasure at seeing Editor John Mitchell enter. The choir sang and the collection was lifted. The dedication services will continue for two weeks. Walking Comes Back Into Popularity AsBest PastimeForHealth & Come On, Ben Hur, You Gotta Lead Now! By Albert T.

WALKING as a pastime has never really lost its attraction for the majority of persons, although the pleasures of the motor car, modern conditions of living, hard pavements, and demands for time-saving have made us far less a nation of walkers than were our American ancestors. Now comes a noted authority. Dr. Wm. M. Scholl, of Chicago, famous expert on foot orthopedics and hygiene, who foresees a return to man's oldest and most natural activity, and he urges the country to cultivate the habit of daily walking. Dr. Scholl has found that not only have the feet of modern man suffered from disuse, misuse, and lack of physical exertion but that sedentary habits, overcating, the breathing of impure air, and the exigent demands of the present hurrying age have placed so great a tax upon the human system that the really efficient man or woman is the exception rather than the rule. Too many of us consult the pill box when we should exercise our legs. So he has recommended a return to the good old habit of walking, and, incidentally, has suggested proper poise. the cultivation of deep abdominal breathing, the habit of walking briskly to stimulate the circulation, and, above all the practice of walking regularly each day. For Sedentary Grown Ups. For Sedentary Grown Ups. Dr. Scholl is especially desirous to interest the woman over thirty and man over forty who lead sedentary lives, in habitual walking. The normal woman who is tending to exertion is often the man who is developing a "bay window" can walk their way back into the comparative grace and symmetry of figure which they are.

Such persons require to regular exercise as much as the amoenic child who needs exertion, for fresh air, wholesome food and plenty of sleep. They can walk either with fists a pleasant companion or alone, and many find pleasure in their thoughts stare and what they see while walking. Persons who are suffering from organic disease or illness should at once consult a reputable physician. But there are thousands of people who are not prepared to consult a physician and yet are below their best because of insufficient exercise, improper breathing, indigestion, poor circulation, poor elimination, sleeplessness and other causes who will find walking one of the best physicians to restore them to vigorous, abounding health. Daily walking, methodical daily exercise of any kind, is most important. This is stressed by Dr. Scholl who urges that the daily walk be accompanied by a habit. Most persons are apt THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA TOO HIGH ORTHOPEDISTS CON- DEMN TOO HIGH HEELS SHOES, BUT NEW YORK'S. SOCIAL BUDS STILL CLING TO THEM. N.Y. TO L.A.

Few persons have an accurate appreciation of the distance they have walked. Mr. Averenga, the one of the most active day, may say he walked fifteen miles, when his real mileage, could it have been recorded on a walk-meter, would be shown to be rather less than half of that. This is, of course, not his daily average. Sometimes he does not walk three miles in a day. Often he does less than two miles. We must be fair to Mr. Averenga Citizen in admitting that his most important role is to keep himself in the best possible physical shape. Normally he arises just in time to match a bit of breakfast, and hurry to his office or place of am ployment. He is busy all day, and rarely spends much time at lunch. If he has calls to make, the street car or automobile are handy time-savers. When night comes we neeis too tired to walk and everything calls him to sedentary relaxation, the movies or the radio. There is no harm in these pleasures, they there is no harm in them the necessary physical exercise. If Mr. Mrs. or Miss Average Citizen only realized it, he (or she), is not obliged to neglect the daily tasks in order to get in a fair amount of walking in the open air each day. In fact, the person of sedentary habits can perform his work more efficiently and feel physically improved in the bargain, if he is given the opportunity to his health. Motorists will derive added pleasure from their drive into the country if they park the car awhile and enjoy a brisk hike. Many people suffer from the results of auto- O THE WALKMETER WHICH TELLS HOW FAR YOU ARE WALKING IS BECOMING POPULAR.

Walks dur- ing a trip will greatly help in avoiding the severe strain of a pro- longed ride. Sandwich in Some Walking. In the morning start a little bit earlier and walk part or all the way back, and head up, shoulders back, but not in an exaggerated position, chest thrown out letting the fresh air reach deeply into the lungs. Nothing can take the place of fresh air. Nor is standing on one's feet all day a substitute for walking in the open, as some muscles are overstrained in constant standing while others remain inert, not actively contracting. At the noon hour do not rush to the nearest restaurant, or take a car. Instead walk a half mile or a mile to and from your lunch, or around the town, and return to your office physically stimulated. Some walking is great, but your engagements when and after your engagements when. Don't depend upon the automobile to take the place of old shanks mares. In other words, try seriously to maintain a good daily average. In order that people shall not guess the distance they walk but walk intelligently, Dr. Scholl suggests the wearing of a walk-meter. This is a small instrument about the size and A WALKING CLASS ABOARD SHIP: DR. WM M. SCHOLL CENTER. NOTED EXPERT ON FOOT ORTHOPEDICS AND HYGIENE SAYS WALKING IS THE FINEST EXERCISE IN THE WORLD.

As the dial rolls up the miles it acts as a spur to keep on and on until you how far you can walk, day. It the average by walking between length of step, and will tell you at night whether you have kept up your standard. How to Walk. To derive the full benefits of walking, the body should have unrestricted freedom and swing, so do not wear clothing that binds. Correct posture is very important. Hold your head erect, your chest out, but not in an exaggerated position, and let your arms swing freely with the motion of the body. Stimulate your circulation by brisk walking, and in order that the blood which is being pumped to every portion of your body, shall be oxygenated and energized and purified, breathe deeply, filling every recess of your lungs. Practice abdominal breathing inhaling deeply. Most people neglect this healthful practice. Wear shoes which do not cramp or bind the feet, and with heels that are too high, but if you are accustomed to wear reasonably high heels do not change suddenly to low ones. Walk snakely enough to perspire, which helps to eliminate impurities and to give a fresh complexion. A bath or shower afterward is stimulating. Dr. Scholl realizes that not all people who require regular physical exercise will indulge in it without an incentive. He has suggested that walking contests be organized in different parts of this country, so this heathful exertion will become a daily habit. Acting upon his suggestion a number of institutions are planning suitable small prizes for the contests. In one of the weekly contests a leading shoe dealer will award the winner a pair of walking shoes. All the contestants will wear one of Dr. Scholl's walk-meters, and their daily scores will be shown in the shoe store window, while the final result for the whole week, as recorded on the walk-meter, will be checked up on Saturday night. Some Regular Walkers. Some of the best regular walkers in a city are the policemen; some are mail carriers; now and then you will find an energetic lawyer or dentist who does a lot of walking during his golf matches and manages to help the average by walking between times. A good many women walk considerable distances during their shopping and many a housewife performs of her duties in the home and to the stores than does her husband in the course of his business in the city. It would be mighty interesting to know just how far each of these useful citizens actually walks, and the record can be attained by the walk-meter. Dr. Scholl believes that everyone should walk at least five miles each day. Those who indulge in occasional long walks may think this a very short distance, but five miles walked regularly is far ahead of the average of most people. Indeed many people cannot walk five miles comfortably. Foot troubles deter many from walking, producing discomfort if not actual pain when the foot is subjected to unusual stress and pressure. And on the other hand, insufficient exercise of the feet and legs is a frequent contributory cause of foot pain. The foot is an intimate connection between the condition of the muscles of the leg and the health of the foot. Weak leg muscles may contribute to turned or weak ankles, which are often a synonym for wack ankles. In this case surgical plates or arch support, intelligently adjusted to the individual foot, may be used temporarily to give the proper correction and stimulate muscular control. The army has always should control such situations, similar to civilians should seek relief from competent sources, before beginning their habitual walking. As a general thing the beginner should walk until there is a slight feeling of fatigue. Note by your walk-meter the distance you have walked and the distance you have been. When once walkin' becomes a habit you will miss its energizing influence if you any means you omit your daily mileage. INTERIOR VIEW OF THE PALATIAL SOUTHERN BARBER SHOP. | 605 BROOK AVENUE.

SATURDAY.....OCTOBER 8, 1927 Colored folks, who have gone to Heaven to come back here again, and colored folks who remain here are not anxious to leave here for the other place. Let them be happy up here, we are willing to be unhappy down here. We do not take any interest in cases involving the Racial Integrity Statute for the reason that it is a matter that directly affects the white folks and they are capable or should be capable of settling the matter amongst themselves. It is true that they are endeavoring to throw some of their own people over on our side of the line, but even this is more satisfactory than an effort to take from us some of our people and place them on their side of the line. The law at one time constituted a person with not more than one-eighth Negro blood in his veins a white person. Now, they have reduced this imaginary calculation down to one-sixteenth. Of us colored folks, who cares? We are perfectly willing to receive all of these kind of white people on our side of the line, if they will come over, keep quiet and not mix with us. We have enough mixing already. A "wag" said many years ago, "Tis a wise child that knows its own father." We might add that it is a wiser child that knows its own race. We are sorry for these outlawed white folks. "NEGROES ARE LESS NUMEROUS IN VIRGINIA." The Richmond, Va., News Leader under the caption, "Negroes Are Less Numerous In Virginia," says: Dr. Emnion Williams doubtless states the fact when he affirms that if the Negro death-rate in the State remains as high as it while the birth-rate continues as low as it present, Virginia, before many years, must face a reorganization of her labor as drastic as that of 1865. The Negro death-rate is approximately half as high again as the white rate. Negro births, contrary to the general opinion, are not much more numerous than those of the other race. Conditions have not greatly changed from what they were a decade ago, when a statistician of the health department of Virginia computed that if no new Negroes came to Virginia and none emigrated from the State, the race would be extinguished in about 150 years. And again: This is not the only serious factor threatening the future of the Negro race in Virginia. Many Negroes are becoming peripatetic in their work. As soon as the winter is past, they hurry North in thousands, when the steel mills are busy. Another exodus occurs when the coastal summer resorts are opened. Often these Negroes do not return until late in the autumn, and then, in many instances, they try to live through the year on what they have earned during the summer. They are free to do this, of course, but they lose the economic advantage that comes from regular employment and they create an atmosphere of impermanence that is demoralizing to those of unstable temperament. This is absolutely true, but our esteemed contemporary overlooks the fact that the thousands of dollars made in the North are expended in the South. Still, this is but a slight compensating advantage as weighed against the theory of a permanent residence in their own home. It concludes as follows: The contention sometimes is made that Virginia has to face these serious industrial alternatives; Either she must improve the health of the Negro population and keep it satisfied by decent living conditions, or should frankly assume that this source of supply is being exhausted and must look elsewhere to replace it. In a larger sense, these proposals are not alternatives. Virginia needs to keep her Negroes healthy and content, no matter whether she succeeds or fails in attracting new agricultural labor. Her advancement will be served by working to both ends. The above is sound doctrine.

MEMPHIS, TENN. --- Down here, some of the ablest and most influential colored men have been hounded their institution injured and their power for good impaired. Some of our courts have taken pleasure in summoning prejudiced jurors, who have met punishment, all out of proportion with the offense committed. This has caused many colored people to leave and many more are considering opportunities to do the same thing. Some of our very best colored people are now so-journing in Northern and Western climes. We hope that we give forth no resec, when we say that at one time, we felt disposed to do the same thing, although we have used every single bit of our energy to keep colored folks here and urge those, who have gone away to come back. Suffice it to say that the time is nearing when we feel that we can safely "fall into the arms of Jesus" and it may be that we can land there with less of a jolt in Virginia than we could in one of the far New England or Western States.

They even build churches for them and are depopulating our Southern congregations as well as our localities and they have carried hundreds of our ablest pulitit ocuators with them, where they are receiving large salaries and growing corpulent in this atmosphere of good living.

FTV FURNITURE Banff's New Golf Course Will Be Spectacular and Sporty The ALPINE GALLERY WORK ON THE NEW LINKS "My WORD! A BIRDIE!" MIXED FOURSOME, BANFF GOLF COURSE --- This Week By Arthur Brisbane AMERICAN LEGION LEADS WAY. MAN'S ACHIEVEMENT. LIGHTNING RODS WORK. THE BABY'S EARS. The American Legion in Paris last week adopted the report of its National Defense Committee, demanding establishment of a national air force as a separate department with an "Air Force Secretary" in the Cabinet. Common sense. The man that had employed a coachman got a chauffeur when the air mobile came in. Intelligent nations will add to their Secretary of War and Secretary of the Navy a SECRETARY OF THE AIR, now that flying machines have come. The National Machine Tool Builders' Exposition in Cleveland, recently was a concentrated demonstration of industrial genius and of the tools that have built prosperity and civilization. Man differs from all other animals in that he is a tool-using creature. Animals work with their bodies, the beaver with teeth and broad tail the woodpecker with his beak, the mud wasp with her sting, putting stunned caterpillars in cold storage for her unborn children. Man with his brain, creates tools OUTSIDE of his body, then he harnesses the ox, horse, elephant, Nirana Falls, and the lightning to work those tools. Cleveland's exhibition contained 500 carloads of machinery sent to eight cities by 180 companies. There were machines that will turn thirteen-inch guns, others into a light wave, a million so to the inch. stuck a barn in Vir- Banff's New Golf WORK ON THE NEW LINKS "My Word! A'BIRDIE!" Thousands of golfers from the United States and Canada and from Great Britain, China, Japan, the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand have dalled long enough at Banff, in the Canadian Pacific Rockies, to enjoy a game or two on the Banff Golf Course, surrounded by mile-high mountains. The putting greens were perfect, the fair green not so good, but the course was a fine test of a golfer's ability and the scenery was so beautiful it was difficult for a golfer to keep his head down and his eye on the course the notables who played this links was Baron Bying, of Vimy, governor general of Canada until recently. Now there is to be a more specific guinea killed four parrots, and two mules, paralyzed a dog and stunned two men. Modern lightning rods properly installed would have prevented that disaster. Modern protection against lightning is included in the recent White House alteration. All around the balustrade above the White House roof, sharp, short, copper points stand at close intervals, connected by a copper cable, the whole system being connected with the earth, also by copper conductors, buried deep enough in the ground to reach perpetual moisture. Such lightning rods give real protection. Insurance companies recognize that in lower rates for factories thus protected. Old fashioned, badly installed, cheap lightning rod construction is worthless or even dangerous. Mrs. Smith had a baby in a Cleveland hospital. She and her husband said it was a boy, when they gave he, a girl baby to nurse. The father says: "They can keep that girl, so far as I am concerned, unless they prove it is mine." Something of a prejudice against girl babies in that, perhaps. One proof offered is that the girl baby's ears are exactly like those of the mother. That is most important. Human ears and the "Darwinian tubercle" that sometimes goes with them are often inherited from generation to generation, and prove heredity at a glance. Anyhow, ANY girl baby will repay richly any one that takes care of her. Young William B. Leeds, son of the "Tin Plate King," started his Pokker three-motor engine flying machine for Chicago last week with six passengers and a relief pilot, he, Leeds, running the machine. They were to stop at Cleveland, then on to Chicago. Young men with money can promote flying in this day as W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., and other young men with money promoted motoring twenty-five years ago. In Little Rollo's day a good boy would stoop to pick up a pin. The rich, observant banker would notice him, employ him, marry him to his daughter, leave him his fortune. Economy was the watchword. Modern James McStowe, of Canton, Ohio, says it's an exploded watchword. In Chicago he picked up a dime from the floor and as he stooped some one "tole his pocketbook with $800." His motto reads: "Look after your $800, and the dimes will look after the washers." Course Will Be Spec THE ALPINE GALLERY MIXED FOURS ular and sporty Banff Golf Course, built by the Canadian Pacific Railway. There are so many fine courses in North America that the use of the superlative about a new links is inadvisable, but judging from the layout made by Stanley Thompson the new Banff Golf Course, the new Banff Golf course par 33 would have wholesome respect of even a Bobby Jones or a Walter Jones. At the same time, there are three sets of trees, the forward tee making the ladies' course only 6.045 yds. The new clubhouse and first tee are located on a cliff 50 ft. above the confidence of the Bow and Spray Rivers and a cable bridge and an escalator near the Spray save a lot of clubroom for golfers. The longest hole, No. 13, is 595 yds. par 5 and the 10th, par 5, is 445 yds.

They will notice at once the clever combination of materials—simply, yet strikingly carried out by trimming the graceful jabot and sleeves of the blouse with bands of the same material as the skirt. For instance, the effect of a white crepe blouse trimmed with black satin which also forms the skirt, would be stunning. Equally good looking would be a beige crepe combined with the new chestnut brown satin. No dressmaking experience is needed to make Design No. 1223. Pattern may be obtained in sizes 16 to 44.

Heretofore, the Banff Golf Course has been too far from the Banff Spring Hotel, but the start and finish of the new course are close by. Banff Golf Course has a strange gallery. Mountain goats with spike horns and white whiskers, mountain sheep with big curled horns, mule deer with long ears, wild chimp towering antlers and now can be a black oak, inguinous but friendly, look the golfers off from the nearby tree, and down to the unkies see if anybody has made a "bridge" or beaten Col. Bogey or Gen. Far. A year ago 75 elk ran across the farway just as a fussy golfer was putting. Although a biff rat, he hoisted his putt and has been bragging about it ever since. --- Thirty Barrels of Oil Per Second Output of U. S. W. 2 THE WATER CITY Millionaire Candy King Seeks World's Racing Boa town THEY'RE OFF CHICAGO—Every time you watch ticks off a second there has been produced in the United States approximately thirty barrels of crude petroleum, according to a bulletin of the American Research Foundation—to be exact about 29.93 barrels. "I imagine yourself sitting at a given point," says the bulletin, "and imagine thirty barrels of oil rolling by every second: imagine 1,800 rolling by every minute, more than 100,000 every hour, approximately 2,400,000 barrels every twenty-four hours. "Then imagine this procession of barrels going by every day, day and night, Sundays and holidays, 365 days in the year that you will have some idea of the United States. To maintain this rate the barrels would have to roll by at a speed of about fifty miles an hour. "In effect crude petroleum does roll on much in this manner. Until refined it travels today very little by train. It moves in pipe lines, a network of about 65,000 miles of them.

That is the ambition of Otto K. Schering, millionaire Chicago candy manufacturer, who recently purchased a new model 151 hydroplane racing boat which promises to become a record breaker. He has named his speed boat Baby Ruth, after his popular candy bar. Mr. Schering's speedster is piloted by Stanley Reed, one of the best known racing boat drivers in the country, who won the $6,000 Elgin Cup for establishing a world's speed record with Miss Spitfire in 1925. Baby Ruth made her initial appearance in the International Rudder Trophy Regatta at Peoria, Ill., last month, finishing a close second to Miss California, owned and driven by Dick Loynes of Los Angeles. Several weeks later she repeated the performance at the Launch Club Regatta at Buffalo. These showings in view of the fact that Mr. Schering's boat was not equipped with a supercharger, like the winner were --- LAYING A PIPB GOING TO THE POST Baby Ruth B-148 companies and people.

Neither is it necessary to eat to repletion. Food bulk is not essential to well-being of the body. On the contrary, too much bulk inevitably gives discomfort.

Many striking testimonies 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 regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited 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 predation come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome." THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY.

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.
