VOLUME XI IV, NO. 52 OFFIC Aver W (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Eddie Miles, colored, was shot and killed between the hours of 12 and 1 c'clock Sunday morning by Officer Leber, who was attempting to arrest him upon the charge of reckless driving. Miles' car crashed into a wagon of a white farmer. It is alleged that he ran away from the scene of the accident, where no one was injured. When cornered by Officer B. O. Leber, he got the upper hand of the policeman, took his club from him and began belaboring him with it, causing a slight wound in the officer's head and on his finger. Miles was slightly taller than the officer, but of slender build. Reaches His Revolver. The policeman succeeded in reaching his revolver and, although Miles was on top of him, pulled the trigger, the bullet entering the colored man's breast and puncturing the heart, causing almost instant death. Eddie Miles lived down at Anticho on the River Road and is said to have been intoxicated. His funeral took place Wednesday at Giffield Baptist Church in Charles City County. Funeral Director R. C. Scott had charge of the remains. Coroner James M. Whitfield held an inquest in the City Hall last Tuesday. The white witnesses testified as follows: Henry Barlow—I live at 2519 P Street, and work for the American Can Company. On October 29th, about 11:45 P. M., while I was standing on the corner of Twenty-fifth and P Street, I saw Police Officer Leber running after a colored man or P Street. Miles Killed. They ran into an alley. The officer fired his pistol in the air while on P Street. I heard him shoot twice in the alley. I went to Twenty-sixth Street and turned toward Broad Street. When I reached the field on Twenty-sixth Street I saw the officer and the Negro wrestling. As I went to them, I saw the Negro fall and Mr. Leber asked me to call the ambulance, because he was hurt. Before the ambulance arrived, some detectives came and took the Negro to the hospital in an automobile with Mr. Leber. While they were wrestling, I saw the Negro hit Mr. Leber with his (Leber's) club. When I first saw them in the field, they were lying on the ground, the Negro on top of Mr. Leber. Got a Flash Light. James E. Throckmorton said: I live at 907 N. Twenty-sixth Street, and work for the Union Envelope Company, Sixth and Cary Streets. Afterwards, I heard three shots. I went to my front door and saw Mr. Leber and the Negro wrestling. They were lying on the ground, the Negro on Mr. Leber, beating him with Mr. Leber's club. I went back into the house and got a flash light. When I came out they were getting up. The Negro was still beating Mr. Leber and I heard the pistol fire. They were right together. As soon as Mr. Leber shot the Negro fell backward. As soon as he shot, Mr. Leber hollowed for an ambulance. Mr. Leber's head had been cut by the blows from the club and his face was bruised. Killing Justifiable. Coroner Whitfield decided that Officer Ben Leber shot Eddie Miles in self-defense. He went over to the Police Court where Judge John L. Ingram, after hearing the evidence and the report, discharged Officer Leber from custody. BADLY INJURED Tom Page, brother of Mrs. Lucy Cross, was knocked down by a truck on his way to work at Whitlock's Tobacco Factory, Friday morning, October 28th, at about 7 o'clock. Junius Williams, colored, was arrested for careless and reckless driving. The witnesses are Tom Page and J. G. Hanna. The accident occurred at Twenty-fifth and Cary Streets. All of the lower part of Mr. Page's mouth was cut and torn to pieces. The flesh on his right hand was torn and injured in the palm. Fortunately no bones were broken. His right side was also injured. He was removed to St. Philips Hospital and from there carried to his home at 904 N. Thirty-second Street, where he has been steadily improving. Junius Williams is the owner of the truck that did the damage and the case will be heard by Judge Ingram as soon as the injured man is well enough to appear in court. Otis Rice, who murdered Susie Nancey in the presence of a police officer, who was abduct to execute a warrant on him for having threatened her life, narrowly escaped the Electric chair in the Hustings Court of this 617, Judge W. Kirk Mathews presiding. Upon his plea of guilty, he was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to Mfs imprisonment.

SATURDAY. NOV. 5, 1927 RICHMOND'S OWN THEATER MOSQUE LAUREL & MAIN STS. RUN BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE Phone Mad.2793 Don Lanning, musical comedy star and one of the most popular entertainers ever to play the Richmond stage, will be a special feature on the new program which will open Monday at the Mosque, Laurel and Main Streets. Through special arrangements by Harry Bernstein, general manager, Lanning, who headed his own company here for two seasons, has been booked direct from New York, where he has just completed a most successful engagement at the exclusive Club Richman, operated by Harry Richman, late star of George White's Scandals. Don Lanning is an established favorite here and his return undoubtedly will prove of uncommon interest to the theatergoers. The DeMaroes, with their "Shiek Orchestra," is another headline stage presentation to be given at the Mosque next week. Last season these noted dancers registered emphatic hits at the Hippodrome and the famous Kit Kat Club, in London, Eng., and at Les Ambassadeurs, Paris. The act is reported as one of the smartest on the New York boards this season. The DeMaroes, it was said, are dancers of unusual artistry and their orchestra will provide a colorful musical setting. Chief Caupolican, acknowledged as the greatest of American Indian singers and possessing a baritone voice of remarkable volume and admirable quality, will be heard in recital. Chief Caupolican is reported recently to have signed a contract to appear later this season with the Philadelphia Civic Opera, a circumstance attesting to artistic ability. He is a full blooded Indian. "The Cat and the Canary," one of the most thrilling of mystery plays and acclaimed as one of the most absorbing interesting motion picture of the year, will be the feature on the screen the first three days of the week, with a variety of supplemental attractions. "The Cat and the Canary" is conceded to be John Willard's best play, narrating in gripping fashion the story of a haunted house. In its adaption to the screen many effects impossible to the stage have been obtained. For next Thursday, Friday and Saturday the hilarious comedy of an ingenious "card sharp's" adventures among the conservative element of a small community will be disclosed in "Alias the Deacon." There will be a complete change of musical numbers on Thursday. This second bill of the Mosque promises a well-rounded and diversified program of entertainment ranging from nible comedy to fine music. You have to eat and Mr. Edward Stewart knows it. He is running a health resort by selling you the pick of the market" at reasonable prices. Eat his groceries and you save medical expense and do away with prescriptions for medicine. It's a large establishment and the Johnson's know how to look after it and render service. Call Madison 688 and get a speedy reply. They can furnish anything from a cheap casket to a metallic one. They have the latest style equipment. Don't forget that. You may run upstairs or come down, but you will surely land in the right place at the Mosque. Show your appreciation of the greatest place of amusement in this country. You can take your friend or your family. You will surely be happy when you leave there. Go where you get goods at low prices, good service and something over the value of the money you pay. You can do this at the L. F. M. store, Broad Street, between Third and Fourth Streets. MR. JONES SPEAKS AGAIN The people who read articles written by the undersigned and published in the Forum of the News Leader, will recall that recently about one-half of the Negro clubs in this city were criticised because they were not doing anything that would justify their existence. The writer wishes now to criticize the other half of the same clubs, the half that are trying to put something over. They are criticized for not doing enough; for not doing all or even half that they are capable of doing. Clubs like individuals should give to our community and to our group the very best that in them lie. More than this cannot be expected, less will not suffice. It is reported that the larger and more influential clubs; the clubs which are recognized as the leading organizations, have upon their roster the names of not more than two-thirds of the qualified voters that they should have. It is claimed that other clubs which more nearly approach the ones above in influence and numbers, have a much smaller list of qualified voters to their credit. According to the number of colored clubs, and according to their membership they ought to number qualified voters by the thousand instead of by the hundred. One is disappointed to learn of the small number of Negro club members who actually vote. Dancing Versus Voting. Now, if all the club men had been as willing and as eager to quality and vote, as some of their number have been to dance, to put on card parties and to engage in other social pleasures; if they had all pursued life's more serious and helpful ways, there would have been no conflict in the Common Council because the name of a faithful old Negro janitor appeared among the names of employees on the Arent's Library pay roll. Think of it, four public officials of this city balked at paying an old-colored man $15.00 per week for labor performed. But what else can be expected from ward politicians, when we leave all the voting to be done by them and by their friends? Compliments Bestowed It is desired in this connection to pay a high tribute of respect, honor and appreciation to Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Mrs. Ora B. Stokes and Mrs. Lizzie L. Stannard because of their wonderful influence among colored women; and because of their marvelous efficiency in the management of the respective organizations which they control. All of these noted women are resourceful and clever church workers who have accomplished much in their several denominations. Too high a value cannot be placed upon the activities of these leading colored women. Crying Need The crying need of the hour is for more efficient organizations and for more trained leaders among the women of our race. We need the wonderful influence of the above named women and others, not only in fraternal orders; not alone in the church work, but we need their assistance and cooperation in the effort to induce the masses of our people to become interested in Democratic politics and in the race of Democratic candidates for Mayor. Colored women should no longer be content to remain in the background of politics. Since they have the right to vote, they should by all means exercise that right. They should be as proud of membership in a woman's political club, as of membership in the church. And voting in a Democratic primary should be considered a religious duty. Two Greatest Forces Since the Negro pulpit and Negro press represent the two greatest forces for good in our group, they should get squarely behind this political movement and make it the largest in point of interest and numbers of any previous movement ever inaugurated by the colored people of JUDGE COBBS SPEAKS Richmond. In conclusion I wish to compliment Rev. W. H. Sokes, Ph.D., upon the wisest and most important innovation ever made in a colored church. And that is upon his plan of having an open forum in Ebenezer Baptist Church. Not only will this forum be open for debate upon the religious questions of the day, but we are advised it will be open for the discussion of racial and educational matters; and for the dissemination of information upon Statewide and national issues, by the most outstanding leaders of the Negro race whom the church proposes to bring here. THEODORE W. JONES, 1401 W. Leigh St. CASE DISMISSED The case of J. Andrew Bowler, Jr., charged with attempting to bribe two boys, employees of the Appeals Press, to secure advance copies of the bar examination papers, in which examination he was to take part, was heard Wednesday, November 2nd, on the continuance granted by Judge John L. Ingraham, in order for him to consider a motion to quash made by his able attorney, Alfred E. Cohen. The prosecution was conducted by Attorney Edward T. Haynes, counsel for the Board of Law Examiners. Judge Ingram, after reading the authorities, ruled that the offense committed was not specifically covered by the statute and the case was dismissed. In support of his contention, attorney cited many authorities in this and other States and said: "Section 4767 Code Va; 1919 requires some act to be done to con situate an attempt to commit a crime. More words do not constitute an act. "There is not an American case which holds that an offer of money to another for the purpose of accom plishing a common law or statutory crime is an attempt towards the commission of an crime. On the contrary, there are numerous cases in the Courts of last resort in the United States which hold that promises of reward by mere words do not constitute an attempt. "Our Supreme Court in the case of Hicks v. Commonwealth 86 Va. 223 so holds and its holding has the approval of the North Carolina Court in State v. Addor 183 N. C. E. 687" Mrs. Maude C. Preston Johnson located her relatives here by the publication in The Planet last week. Mr. George E. Preston, of Wall Street Club, was one of the relatives and has written to her. Lawyer C. A. McKenzie was taken sick at his office Tuesday and is now confined to his residence in Garden City. Mr. Thomas Berry of 210 E. 17th St. Southside, who has been sick for the past nine weeks is convalescing. Information given seems to indicate that it will be quite a tug to get Rev. C. M. Long to Richmond. A consignment of different styles Hudson cars reached the Hudson-Essie Agency here last week and were unloaded Thursday, October 28th. On Friday, the Hudson Standard Super-Six Sedan was exhibited in the colored section of this city with the placards calling attention that it was the first prize in The Planet Contest. James A. C. Johnson, the winner of the car, occupied the seat by the chauffeur, while John Mitchell, Jr., and R. C. Mitchell sat on the back seat. Comment on the success of the venture. The Essie is expected this week from the factory at Detroit. Photographs of the winners are being made by the Brown's at the expense of The Planet. MRS. GERTRUDE L. WASHINGTON After a long and painful illness, Mrs. Gertrude L. Washington, wife of Deacon A. Washington, passed away Thursday, October 27th, at her residence, North Fifth Street. Her funeral took place Saturday, October 29th, at 2 P. M., from the Second Baptist Church, with Rev. Joseph Arrington officiating. Her last comment voiced her appreciation of her husband's efforts to help her. She was one of the most influential ladies in the city in church and fraternal society work and the sorrowing family received expressions of sympathy on every hand. Funeral Director A. D. Price had charge of the remains. Embalmer J. H. Robinson has returned to the city and is again at his old post with Funeral Director A. D. Price. The First Baptist Church raised over $2,200 Sunday before last. The church improvement will cost approximately $7,000.00. BINFOED—MANNING. Mr. and Mrs. Cornellus J.

Her body was found on top of the elevator. No one seems to know just how the accident occurred, as the elevator boy had just carried her up to the fourth floor. ATTORNEY ENGLISH WINS CASE Charles Smith, who was tried for the murder of W. H. Branch and the jury disagreed, won a noelle prosequi this week. Attorney Edgar L.

Stokes, the popular Grand Shepherd of the Improved Order of Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem, scored heavily last Sunday night at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, when she was the presiding genius at the great address delivered by Judge James A. Cobb, of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, and said to be one of the only two colored judges in this country, who preside in a court of record. Judge Cobb was introduced in a most pleasing manner by Attorney H. M. Green, of this city. Tribute to Planet. Judge Cobb was accorded a practical ovation as he arose to address an audience that filled this spacious church from the pulpit to the doors. During his preliminary remarks he stated that he had read the Richmond Planet when he was a boy and he paid a glowing tribute to John Mitchell, Jr., its editor. Then he proceeded to discuss "Citizenship." He showed himself a master in the discussion of constitutional law. He analyzed Jefferson's famous declaration, "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal." He explained that the fundamental principle underlying this was an equality of opportunity. The Right to Protection. He dwelt upon the right and the duty of the government to protect the life of its citizens, even within the boundaries of a State. He explained the delicate, intricate machinery of governmental action within harmony with that of the State, yet producing results as would protect the inationable rights of all citizens. He impressed upon the colored people of acting in such a manner in their conduct, living and attitude toward the government as to emphasize the necessity of the government's according all of the protection, to which they are entitled under the Constitution and he dwelt upon the reciprocal relationship of the Nerro and the government. Thanks Extended. For thirty-five minutes he engaged in a legal discussion and explanation that would have done credit to any jurist in the land and concluded in the midst of restrained applause. Attorney James T. Carter extended to him the thanks of the organization in well chosen words. Rev. J. J. Carter announced the notices, and Rev. William H. Stokes announced the benediction. The choir, under the leadership of W. D. Jones, had sung to the satisfaction of everybody present, and the multitude passed out voicing praise of the great legal deliverance by one of the ablest legal minds in the Race today. HINES—ALLEN ...Mrs. Kate White wishes to announce the marriage of her daughter, Nannie B. Allen, to Mr. J. A. Hines, which took place Sunday, October 30, 1927, at 7 P. M., at 402 West Clay Street.

Everybody should realize that. We shall discuss in a future issue, "The Strange Case of Marcus Garvey." Going to heaven is all right, but living down here on the part of some people is all wrong. People who are tired of this country should go to Africa. If they get over there they will never come back. They cannot swim across and it costs too much money to come back the other way. Dr. Kelly Miller, that "leader of leaders," has written an article or "Amalgamation," as discussed in the October Forum by Alain Leroy Locke and Lathrop Stoddard. We shall have more to say upon his view of that all important subject. Editor William Monroe Trotter is still in the lime-light. A recent meeting in Washington, which resulted in the consolidation of the N. E. E. R. League and the National Race Congress, resulted in sending a committee to wait on the Secretary of the Interior to protest against the segregation of the races in that department. They made Mr. Trotter spokesman for the delegation, and the "fur began to fly." He declared that he not only wanted the white and colored employees in the same room, but he wanted them mixed up. Secretary Work is reported to have shown his Capacity. The delegation left with the promise to the specific cases of where the separation was made upon the basis of color. You cannot get any more recognition among these lines from Republicans than you can from Democrats, if as much. DO YOU KNOW THEM? Manila, Philippine Islands, September 29, 1927. Chief of Police, Richmond, Va., L. S. A. Deer Sr: I have been informed that my two brothers are living in your city whose names are Charlie H. and Olen G. Hutchison was reported to me that Charlie's occupation is a Doctor of Medicine. The occupation of Olen, I have not heard. They may be passing as American Negro, or as Indians. Our father was a Cherokee, and our mother a Black Hawk Indian. Charlie, the senior, was born in Hot Spring, North Carolina, and Olen in Read Town, Tennessee. Their ages are about 31 and 29 years, respectively. I have not heard from these two boys for the past fifteen years. The only description that I can give is of Charlie, who has a scar over his left eye. This was done by a rough stone which I threw at him when we were playing when still children. The best of my recollection is the scar looks like a spider. This is very hard for me to remember the exact design of the scar or as to what formation it has made from growth, as I have not seen either of them for twenty years. As at present I am planning to return to the United States for a short vacation I would like to be able to get in touch with them when I arrive there. Furthermore I am growing older every day and I deem it wise that they should know something regarding my holdings in this country in case that anything should happen to me. Anything that you could do in helping me to locate them will be highly appreciated. Thanking you in advance for all kindness shown me in this matter and trusting to hear from you at your most earliest convenience. Yours very sincerely, HUGH F. HUTCHISON. We feel sorry for you. when you lose your relative. Funeral Director A. D.

The beneficial effect is lasting because the medication is held in full strength directly against the skin over the sore, lame parts and is continually absorbed as long as the plaster remains on the body. If your muscles and joints are stiff and sore from overwork or unacustomed work, from exposure, Rheumatism or any other cause, get a Red Cross Kidney plaster at the drug store and put it on—you will marvel at its quick and wonderful effectiveness.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengtheth me," was one of the outstanding things brought home to us Sunday morning when Dr. Morris preached from the subject: "God's Challenge to the Sinning Christian." Romans the sixth chapter. Dr. Morris opened to us clearly our position as followers of Christ and solemnly warned us of the danger in living a faithful life. The Sunday School Rally took place at 7:30. Dr. Morris preached a great message on the Bible. The program was good. Superintendent K. C. Manning and his officers put over a nice financial effort. or who suffer ovarian pains, pains in the lower part of the stomach, peering down pains, female weakness, headaches, backache, melancholia, despondency, nervous derangements, flushes of heat, feeling and indefinite pains, whites, painful or irregular periods, should write to Mrs. Ellen Lovell, 5267 Mass., Kansas City, Mo.

The Big Membership Drive to gain Richmond's objective in the Great Nationwide Membership Drive of the Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem, was officially launched last Tuesday night at Ebenezer Baptist Church before a large crowd of enthusiastic workers, 1,000 members are asked for and strenuous efforts will be made to secure them. On a recent trip on business for our, Order, the Grand Presiding Shepherd and her party en tour, stopped over at Arcadia a Tea Room, Woodford, Va., and spent a delightful hour. Arcadia Tea Room is on the Washington Highway and is operated by Mr. and Mrs. Richard A. Walker, of Atlantic City, N. J. Mr. W. M. Thompson, of Richmond is manager. The appointments are the finest to be found on any of the highways of Virginia. After a delicious repast the party assembled in the music room, where Mrs. Stokes presented Mme. C. B. Glipin, of Richmond, a member of the Shepherd's party, who charmed those present with a few selections from her repertoire. Mrs. Glipin was accompanied by Mr., R. A. Walker, a musician of note, and leader of the famous Oricle Glce Club, radio favorites of Atlantic City. Mrs. Glipin executed her selections in a voice of enchanting sweetness, and with perfect control. The ease with which she reached the higher notes and the still more difficult feat of descending without shock, was indeed a marvel of vocal accompaniment. Mr. Walker is a master at the piano. His rendition of a difficult selection from the Italian opera with the use of only the left hand was wonderful. Those in the Shepherd's party with Mrs. Stokes were: Mrs. C. B. Ghl pin, Mrs. Lelia Wynn, Mrs. S. Sparrow, Attorney and Mrs. C. A. McKenzie, Mrs. Kulah N. Cunningham, Mrs. Mary E. Cousins, Mrs. Susie J. Williams, Mrs. Eliza A. Berkley, Mrs. Louise J. Lewis, Miss Emily O. Lewis, Mrs. Lillie Baskerville, Mccrs, Amos C. Clark Fred D. Clark, A. Waller and R. C. Mitchell. The Uniform Rank was entertained by our Grand Presiding Shepherd, her palatial home, Rest Haven, on Brook Road. The Shepherd, Mrs. G. No. 10, and members of other military units, attired in their brt't uniforms presented a colorful spectacle against the superb back ground furnished by this beautifully decorated and well appointed home. Grand Secretary Treasurer Amos C. Clark was master of ceremonies and a fine program of instrumental music and addresses was rendered. Unity Company presented the Grand Shepherd. Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes with a silk pillow. Major Reuben Waller making the presentation in choice words. Mrs. Stokes responded in memorable brilliant manner and real interest in her development. Buffer lunch was served. The party retired much enbuckled over the reception tendered by the Grand Shepherd.

Uncle Sam Helps Harvest Record Grape Crop; Tells Housewives How and Why They're Healthful 60,000 ACRES OF SUCH GRAPES WERE GROWN THIS YEAR GEORGE C. UNCLE SAM'S GRAPE EXPERT ```markdown ``` This Week OKEH SAYS COOLDGE. AN EGG FOR BABE RUTH. AN OLD ENGINEER. CHILDREN AND SUNSHINE. President Coolidge, surveying national conditions, finds them excellent. As regards business and prosperity, Secretary Mellon says there is capital, in abundance, for all new ventures worth while, crops are good and automobiles are expected to set new sales records. Secretary Hoover reports that our exports are increasing. This year is ahead of the same period last year and our imports have one pleasant feature. We are not paying England the high prices for rubber that we paid last year. You may reply to questions about the business outlook, as follows: Nothing the matter, if business does not become afraid of its own prosperity. Perry Thomas, one of the oldest, most trustworthy engineers on the New York Central, was soon to retire—as soon as he had saved a little more money. Before the day came a head-on collision ended his life, and as he lay dying in the hospital the old engineer, desiring to free everybody else from blame, told witnesses the accident was his fault. He had run by a block signal in the fog. This reminds the public how much depends on the railroad engineers. They should be better paid than they are now. And they might well be retired on full pay, without waiting until age dims their sight and dulls their nerves. The public would be willing to pay for it. ... Omaha, Babe Ruth received, Uncle Sam Helps H • Tells Housewife 50,000 ACRES OF SUCH GRAPE California's greatest movie feat of 1927 isn't being performed on the motion picture lots of Hollywood. Instead, it's being pulled off out on the hillside vineyards of the state where 2,800,000 tons—5,800,000,000 pounds of juice-filled grapes have ripened into the biggest vine crop this country has ever known. How to move and market these 20 pounds of grapes for each man, woman and child in the United States, has presented so important a problem that the experts of the Department of Agriculture have been called in to assist state authorities. George Husmann, pomologist in charge of grape invasions for the San Francisco area on the job to direct the How and Why of the work to save the big crop and C. E. Schultz of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics is lending a hand with the marketing. This alone involves the shipment and distribution of at least 10,000 cars of grapes per week during a period of over two months. The importance of this grape crop to the dietary of the American home cannot be over-estimated, according to Husmann, who holds that the grape and the juice of the grape rank close to the top in the list of wholesome, health-promoting foods and drinks. "In Europe, the old-time grape juices to which patients locked durin the season to drink the fresh juice and eat the fresh fruit were recognized as highly beneficial," says Burton. "America however we might reversed the process. Instead of taking the patient to the grape juice, we take the grape and the juice to the homes where the GRAPES ARE HAULED FROM THE VINEYARDS BY THE TRAINLOAD as tenent of his greatness, an egg laid by Lady Norfolk, champion hen of the world. It was the 170th egg laid or batted out by that hen in 170 days. Rush remarked; "A hen's egg by the river's brim, a simple hen's egg was to him, and nothing more" and went on with his batting. It would surprise the idol of America to know that such a hen as Lady Norfolk is more important to the country than all its baseball players. Reports from Maine, received out here on the Mojave Desert, indicate that voters mean to keep the direct primary system for awhile, at least. Professional politicians will not be able to "deliver" nominations in prearranged conventions. And poor millionaires, determined to be somebody, will have to buy the direct primary first, and the election afterward. Hard on politicians, who have less to sell, and on office buyers that must pay high prices for an uncertainty. The American Public Health Association, gathered at Cleveland, is told that today's greatest cause of death is heart disease. And repeated infections, such as "common colds," to which so little attention is paid, cause heart disease. The trouble starts often in childhood, with childhood's diseases, all of which might be avoided. This should interest parents of the dark ages type who think "the children might as well have measles and such little things first as last and get them over with." Toronto University proves that sunshine will cure rickets, of which many children die. A German wrote more than 100 years ago, "God may forgive you for not giving to children bread that costs money. But He will not forgive you for depriving them of fresh air and sunlight that cost nothing." To prove that sunshine cures rickets does not mean much, when millions of city children can not have the sunshine. Power companies worth twenty-three billion dollars don't want the Government to harness the Colorado River. That might mean competition in the power business. Twenty-three billions is less than $230 per inhabitant of the United States, less than the price of a small automobile. "Twenty-three billions" sound like human beings, all interested in Colorado River development, possess power also. The Colorado will be developed and power gentlemen will be glad when it happens. Learned bankers fought the Federal Reserve law, dreading interference with pleasant profits. It has saved them from black panic half a dozen times. Harvest Record Grape Vines How and Why ES WERE GROWN THIS YEAR GRAPEES ARE HAULED FROM THE whole family may enjoy their tonic qualities. Within the past ten years, Flusmann says not only the use of unfermented grape juice but the use of table grape in American households, has greatly increased. The increase acreage of California grape has been due to the larger planting of the table and raisin varieties and not to an increase in the number of grape hawsers used prior to prohibition. California and about 320,000 acres of vineyards of which 30 percent were wine grape 30 percent table grape and 20 percent raisin grape. Today the total acreage has doubled to 640,000 acres of which 30 percent is table and raisin grape and 20 percent wine. The chief nutritive value of grapes according to the government experts is their sugar content. Grape sugar is the main source of sugar that is used in juice and grape juice. • includes the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page 1157 Just imagine how smart you'll look in this clever sport dress—if you make it up in one of the new sport materials, with a stripped vestee, sleeve inserts and skirt panel for contrast.

From a health standpoint — aside from any question of alcohol—government authorities hold grape juices to be more beneficial than wines because of their greater content of tartrates. In the same way the fresh juice, whenever obtainable is superior to the bottled product because the cream of tartar high in tartaric acid, has not been removed. Because of these health benefits, Uncle Sam is seeking to conserve the greatest possible part of this record crop.

Travelers to Australia usually leave in the fall or early winter and the canadian Australian line takes one from Vancouver to the Hawaiian islands where the tropic nights and warm trade winds scented with tropical flowers produce, with the beautiful scenery, new and unique mental pictures that remain with one for life.

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 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 prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome".

It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the aors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-acrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.

The Informer holds no brief for the South, per se, for this paper has been and is still the most outspoken race publication in the South when the rights of the Negro race are at stake or in jeopardy; but this paper also contends that conditions can be considerably improved in the South by our group making the proper contacts and getting off on the right foot; and such meetings as these will do much to change some of the deeprooted opinions and sentiments of the "far South" concerning the Negro race. If other national organizations and bodies can perform this type of missionary work, most assuredly the colored Pythians are no better than they, nor any less brave; and no man or order is capable of leadership that does not want to come in contact with those he or it attempts to serve and lead, and lend a helping hand at close range. If the supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias is so ashamed of his home section that he would not dare invite his supreme organization to hold one biennial session in his section in 47 years, it is a reflection upon his good judgment and common sense when he continues to live in a section which he holds in such disfavor and disdain. Any man is a mighty poor excuse of a man who has a home and is very highly ashamed to invite any person to his home. He ought to either take his home as it is, and try to improve it, or get him another home. After growing sarcastic and caustic about the reported assets and resources of the Pythian jurisdiction of Texas, and comparing the per capita wealth, etc., the supreme chancellor proceeds to lay claim to much of the credit for the wonderful headway made by the Texas order; for he advised and conferred with the leaders and by taking his advice the Willis administration has been a signal success. Three cheers for S. W. Green, of New Orleans! Instead of W. S. Willis being the master mind behind the Pythian order in Texas, it has been Green's prolific counsel and sagacious advice! Now we see it all quite clearly! Since Mr. Green has been of such inspirational and informational service to the Pythian jurisdiction of Texas, and since he mildly chided and inerentially excoriated the Lone Star State order for its failure to apply mortuary funds of the State fraternity to the national Pythian temple at Chicago, why doesn't the supreme chancellor render this type of service to his Northern, Eastern and "near Southern" jurisdictions and then ask them for financial assistance in this colossal undertaking? The Informer has nothing to do with the policy of the grand chancellor of Texas in his attitude regarding the national temple of the order, now under course of erection at Chicago and which seems to have some bit of "history" connected with it and, if Mr. Green wanted to "smoke out" Mr. Willis because the latter has not yet come across with the coin of the realm from the Texas Pythian jurisdiction on Mr. Green's pet scheme, then that is their affair and not ours! Furthermore, if the supreme lodge decides to meet only in such city and state where ideal interracial conditions exist, we think it will be quite difficult to find such place on this mundane shore; for look what is going on right now in Indianapolis, Indiana, supposed host of the 1929 biennial supreme lodge; and then read the record of graft and klan domination of the Hoosier State; the hostile attitude and anti-Negro recently conducted in that State at Gary; the "jim-crow" schools now being foisted upon the Negroes of that State and section, and other manifestations and ramifications of race prejudice, bigotry and intolerance. The Informer admits that the South is no ideal place, as it relates to relations between the races; yet this paper does contend that interracial relations have improved considerably within the last few years, and that a new South, more liberal and tolerant, is in the inffing; while a new North, more prejudicial and intolerant, is not far distant. If the Negroes of America can read and interpret the handwriting on the wall, they will discover that no victories can be achieved by waving the bloody flag of sectionalism; and that while a tug of war might be good exercise, it does not get the participants anywhere. The Negro race is too much like a hobby horse (going on all the time and never getting anywhere) and any man, heading any movement or organization, obsessed with sectionalism-phobia, stamps himself as being a questionable leader, and his leadership becomes nugatory and negative. Going a bit further, if the supreme chancellor of the Pythians or the head of any order or organization holds to the opinion that Negroes of the North and East are too good and are too much of the hot-house species to spend a few days in the South (the former home of most of the Negroes of the North, East and West who are doing things), and endure, if necessary, some of the trying ordeals of their racial brothers and sisters, then he has a misconception of Christianity and fraternity. Why, did not Damon, the Pythagorean, pledge his life for his friend, Pythias? Didn't their act of friendship, charity and benevolence so move and impress Dionysius, the Syracuse tyrant, that he released both and made a proclamation of their constancy, fidelity and self-abnegation? Are the so-called Pythians of the North, East and West any better than Damon? Are they not willing to offer themselves for their Pythian brothers of the South? Are they unmindful of what their act will mean both to Damon and Pythias, racially speaking? Is supreme chancellor seems to consider the supreme lodge as an occasion for a vacation and outing; and, judging from what the recent supreme lodge failed to do in a constructive way, this idea appears to be deep-seated among so many of the supreme representatives.

"gratuitous and insulting advice to divorce my wife or resign from office of supreme chancellor, or the office of grand chancellor of Louisiana, and remove to the North or East." We are very sorry that the supreme chancellor could not understand a figure of speech, and considered us as trying to medle into his domestic affairs. This editor never advised Mr. Green to divorce his spouse in our former editorial, but we did say that "Any man who is ashamed of his wife should divorce her, and any man is a very poor excuse who will stand up in public and speak disrespectfully of his wife or members of his household." It is really a pity that the supreme chancellor could not comprehend this figure of speech, and flew into a rage and charged this editor with "insulting" him by dispensing such "gratuitous" advice. The author of this Green article, which appeared in this paper last week, should have told the supreme chancellor that The Inner editor was ruminating figurative. Mr. Green charged that The Informer's Chicago correspondent placed his wife in the wrong light in the news item regarding Mrs. Green's activity and reported remarks before the supreme court. Although, not present when Mrs. Green was supposed to have made her "insulting speech" to the good women of Texas and the South, this editor does know that a lengthy conference was held at Hotel Trenier, headquarters of the Texas Pythian-Calanthean delegation, the night the speech was alleged to have been made by Mrs. Green; and when the confab adjourned at an early morning hour, it was stated that the supreme court had been in conference with grand chancellor and grand counselor of Texas jurisdiction "trying to straighten out matters as a result of Mrs. Green's insulting speech at the church yesterday." Since there were several of the Texas Calantheans present at that meeting, and, since it was also reported that Mrs. F. K. McPherson, of Gainesville, grand worthy counselor of the Texas order, made a heated reply to the speech of Mrs. Green, The Informer is willing to pass this matter to the other side of the house; this would be glad to hear from one of our Texas Calantheans on this matter. (To Be Continued) Editor Richardson's Caustic Remarks (Continued from last week.) Total assets July 1, 1927—$552, 332.07. Total membership July 1, 1927— 8,063. The reports of the four States above mentioned represent the largest amount of reported assets for the grand lodges of our supreme jurisdiction. Figuring the per capita wealth of the above mentioned grand lodges we find the following: CHIEF CAUPOLICAN Greatest of Indian Singers Direct from triumphs in the larger cities and scheduled to appear later this season as soloist with the Philadelphia Civic Opera presenting a Recital of Color and Beauty y and Wednesday "THE CANARY" ery play ever written. ting — Mysterious Mosque Tours d screen features. sical Numbers Thursday.

Grand Lodge K. of P. of Florida, per capita wealth July 1, 1927, $19.53. Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Louisiana, per capita wealth July 1, 1927, $68.50. According to the per capita wealth of the above named grand lodges, we find that the grand lodge of Louisiana, with a per capita wealth of $68.50, leads all other grand lodges our supreme jurisdiction; with the grand lodge of Alabama with a per capita wealth of $54.22, and the grand lodge of Texas with a per capita wealth of $41.53, and the grand lodge of Florida with a per capita wealth of $19.53. We find according to the above figures, Mr. Editor, that the grand lodge of the Knights of Pythias of Louisiana leads all other grand lodges in the supreme jurisdiction in the matter of per capita wealth, with Alabama second, Texas third, and Florida fourth. Of course, Mr. Editor, the grand lodge of the Knights of Pythias of Louisiana has been wealthy so long until it has ceased to be a novelty with us, and we have long since ceased boasting about it. I also note the following in your editorial: "Furthermore, it seems that some of the national Pythian leaders are somewhat sore and peeved with the Texas grand chancellor, because Mr. Willis would not consent to bankrupt the Texas Pythian organization in order to provide funds for the completion of the national temple now under course of construction at Chicago, but which has met a financial snag, and which appears to be a bad business venture." Since the grand lodge of Texas has net assets of $747,702.06, and since you boast, Mr. Editor, that the grand lodge of Texas is a million dollar organization, it would seem that the grand lodge of Texas could assist in financing the national Pythian Temple without the grand chancellor banking the grand lodge of Texas! The grand jurisdiction of Louisiana does not claim to have as large an amount of net assets as the grand lodge of Texas, yet the grand jurisdiction of Louisiana has purchased Pythian Temple bonds in the national Pythian Temple in the sum of $129,164.33, and $20,500 worth of bonds in the Pythian bath house and sanitarium at Hot Springs, Arkansas, and yet, Mr. Editor, the grand jurisdiction of Louisiana is far from being bankrupt and is able to meet its obligations, and to pay off all of its death claims within thirty days from the date of filing claims. The grand lodge of Texas has purchased bonds in the Pythian bath house and sanitarium in the sum of $27,000, but has not purchased a single bond in the national Pythian Temple with all of its admitted assets.

I shall continue to live in the South, and by precept and example, and by proper methods—shall try to secure more tolerant conditions for the less fortunate members of my race who have made it possible for me to remove to the North or East, and live under more favorable conditions than I could live in the South, if I so desired. I shall not accept your cowardly advice, Mr. Editor, to desert the unfortunate members of my race, at a time when I may be of more service to them by removing to the North or East, but shall remain with them, and shall suffer with them, and shall accept the conditions in the South as long as I can be of service by helping to ameliorate some of the conditions under which they live. I have already referred to more tolerant conditions on railroad trains in Louisiana than you have in Texas, and those conditions were brought about by a combination of the orders and societies among the members of our race in the State of Louisiana by petitioning the railroad commission, and hiring lawyers to represent us before the railroad commission, and asking that we be granted what the laws of the State of Louisiana provide for us, and that is separate but equal accommodations for the races. It was through our organizations that we secured better accommodations on our railroad trains. It is through our organizations that we hope to secure better conditions for the members of our race in the Southland. You refer, Mr. Editor, to the colored Pythians of America being too "cowardly and spineless to hold one biennial meeting in Texas in 45 years." The colored Pythians of America are neither too "cowardly nor spineless to hold one biennial meeting in Texas in 45 years," but they have too much courage and too much respect for their women folk, and too much of a desire to promote Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia to jeopardize the welfare of the members of their uniform rank department, and to shield their women folk from humiliations and insults of the "jim-crow" street cars. They have not met in Alabama in 45 years. They have not met in Georgia in 45 years, and yet Georgia has the largest membership, and pays the largest amount of taxes to the supreme lodge than any grand jurisdiction. The colored Pythians of America have not met in Tennessee in 45 years. They have not met in South Carolina nor North Carolina in 45 years. If any of our grand jurisdictions should have reasons to complain of the failure of the supreme lodge to hold one of its biennial meetings in their grand jurisdictions, it should be the grand lodge of Mississippi in which the supreme lodge has not held one of its sessions since it was born in that State in the year 1880. It has, therefore, been 47 years since the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, etc., met at its birthplace the grand lodge of Mississippi—and yet, Editor, the representatives from the grand lodge of Mississippi would not invite the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, etc., to accept the humiliating conditions of "jim-crow" railroad cars and "jim-crow" street cars to come to Mississippi to hold one of its biennial sessions. It is true, Mr. Editor, that the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, etc., met in New Orleans in 1893, and your humble servant was one of the members who participated in the proceedings of that supreme lodge session. We did not have at that time any "jim-crow" railroad cars, neither any "jim-crow" street cars. We did not have at that time any supreme court composed of the members of our race. We did at that time any encompassment of the uniform rank of the Knights of Pythias. We had at that time only 26 representatives from 13 grand lodges. (To Be Continued) Shenandoah, Va., Oct. 28—Despite the fact that a Page County jury had acquitted them of a charge of moonshining, E. W. Breeden, D. E. Henderson and Reuben Grimsley, of this city, were indicted by a Federal court jury in Harrisonburg, and capauses issued for their arrest. They gave bail yesterday before a United States commissioner. The three men were tried at the last term of court when several prohibition officers, including State and Federal operatives, charged that they were seen to set stills in operation and have them boiling within minutes. The jury in Page Circuit County would not believe that a still could be put in operation in that length of time, however, and freed the men when they claimed that another who fled owned the stills. The indictment by the Federal jury is the first case of this nature in Page County. CHURCH DIRECTORY Mt. Olivet and Union Hope Baptist Churches, King William Co., Va. Rev. G. C.
