THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VIRGINIA NOV 12 17 STATE LIBRARY JOHN GARY MURDERED! Shot 5 Times by George Morton--Beat His Sister--Case to the Grand Jury VOLUME XLV, NO. 1 JOHN GARY Shot 5 Tir (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) John Gary, who was shot five times by George Morton, and who has since been in a precarious condition in St. Philips Hospital ever since, is dead. The witnesses in the case are Ethel Morton, James White, Nathaniel Morton, J. H. Harris, J. H. Dubuque and C. W. Franck. George Morton faced another warrant in the Police Court last Monday, Judge John L. Ingram presiding. It charged him with murder. In the pen there, in reply to the call of his name, he spoke up and said, I am George Morton. Yes, I have a wife and child. My wife's name is Florence F. B. Morton. Wanted Money. I came from Goochland County, Va. The argument came up. He was going with my sister and she decided to stop going with him. I live at 106 W. Clay Street. My sister got a room downstairs. Then a woman, who was standing at Morton's side spoke up and said she would tell it. This proved to be Ethel Morton, who was being held by the detectives as a material witness. She said, I was in the room talking and playing the graphophone. I had 42 pennies in a white cup. In that one, John Gary walked in. This was Wednesday, I said. I said John at those 42 pennies. He said, I know you ain't lost those pennies, when I haven't money to get cigarettes. He said, come here. He Strusk Her. I went to him and he hit me and I smacked him and I hollered and my brother said, what's the matter? I told him nothing. Then my brother came and knocked at the door. John Gary said, go long and tell him what's the matter with you. My brother said. I ain't talking to you man. John Gary said, go long and shoot me. I know you've got your gun. In that time, the door being open, my brother shot him. He shot five times. George Morton, said, I shot him because he made a move to his pocket and I thought he had the same thing I had. I shot him with a 32:20. Shot Five Times Asked why he shot so many times he replied, i was got skewed and when a man gets that way, he is not liable to stop. I've known Gary for about five months. This is not the first time he has beaten her. He has stamped her. Ethel said that Gary had been going with her about two years. George Morton said he was a butler and worked for Miss Haynes at 115 W. Franklin Street. Asked if he belonged to any church, he said, yes, I have been a member of the Ebenezer Baptist Church for eleven years. I am 23 years old. This ended the interview. Another life had been snuffed out and another trial for murder is in sight. FOUND DEAD IN RENTED ROOM Mystery surrounds the finding of the body of a brown-skin colored woman in a room in the apartments of Lottie Nixon, 506 N. Fourth St. Wednesday morning last.

Truly can it be said that on Thursday morning when the summons came for Mrs. Gertrude L. Washington to join that innumerable caravan that moves to the pale realms of shade, where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death, she certainly did not go like the quarry slave at夜, scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed. like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams, for such was her end. Deepest Sympathy The Second Baptist Sunday School takes this method to express deepest sympathy to members of the family, in this their bereavement, but commend them to God who is just, and has only taken out of this world of sorrow one who has learned to love and serve Him. For a number of years, she has been a conscientious, ardent worker in our Sunday School; always striving to reach marks of efficiency, for she was Superintendent of the Primary Department, having taught in the same Department until ill health overtook her a few months ago, any task assigned, could always be counted on as accomplished, when she was approached. She never complained, for we were not cognizant of her illness until she was absent. Led the Forces Several years ago when a leader was needed (as in all organized forces) to marshall our forces to raise extra funds to aid in spreading the Kingdom of God on earth, it was she who willingly took this task, saying: "I'll do my best," and for several successive years when the task was thrust upon her, she even said, "if you can use me to do." In July, 1927, when the Master had given her a letter of recommendation upon her a visit was made in reference to this matter, she sent word that she would not be able to assume leadership but would do her best among those she could reach. This was done. Frank in Convictions She was always very frank in her RICHMOND. VIRGINIA.

RUN BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE Phone Mad. 2793 Waring's Pennsylvanians, one of the most popular orchestras ever to play this city, will be a feature attraction all next week at the new Mosque, Laurel and Main Streets. This noted dance orchestra will present a program of the latest products from New York's "melody line," embracing both musical comedy and the so-called popular hits in the settings which have made the work of this orchestra take rank with the foremost in the United States. Heading the Pennsylvanians will be Fred Waring, conductor, and Toni Waring, solist. Waring's Pennsylvanians not only are well known because of their recording for photographs but the orchestra has played here on several previous locations to exceptional favor. The numbers given by Waring's Pennsylvanians always are admirably orchestrated and rendered with contagious rhythm. The orchestra will give an entire change of musical numbers next Thursday, which, with the change in the picture presentations, will result virtually in a complete new program. "The Country Doctor," heralded as "another 'Way Down East,' will be the screen feature at the Mosque Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The production is described as one impressive and of distinct appeal, with a cast headed by Joseph Schild kraut and including Junior Coghlan, Virginia's Bradford, Frank Marion, Sam de Grasse, Gladys Brockwell and others. The story revolves about Amos Vinker, a lovable character and a practicing country physician, one of the unsung heroes who work for humanity in the hinterland and whose magnificent efforts and frequent sacrifice seldom find reward. "The Country Doctor" has been highly accaimed in New York as the best picture of its type in recent years. Additionally, there will be "The Colleagues," a sprightly story of modern college life, and a variety of supplemental features. "The Thirteenth Juror" will be featured on the screen the last three days of the week. This gripping, thrilling mystery play is reported to furnish excellent entertainment in nieldrama and romance. Beginning Sunday night, November 13th, a series of Bible lectures will be conducted by Evangelist G. E. Johnson at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, 912 North Sixth Street.

REPUBLICAN ELECTED GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY Louisville, Ky., Nov. 9.—Running far ahead of his ticket in several large counties, Flem D. Sampson, Republican, today had a commanding lead of more than 9,000 votes over J. C. W. Beckham, for governor of Kentucky. With reports missing from three counties none of which could materially affect the result and scattered precincts yet to report in a number of other counties, Judge Sampson's vote was 334,017 to 324, 565 for his Democratic opponent, Thomas The Democratic chairman, Thomas S. Rhea, claimed the state for Beckham by more than 12,000 and charged that irregularities had been observed in the number of places. He did not disclose the source of his information. The Republican committee was claiming victory for sampson by 35,000. Returns from the horse racing centers in the state showed Judge Sampson, called by the Democrats the Kentucky Jockey Club candidate, rolled up convincing majorities over Mr. Beckham, who made his opposition to the pari-mutual betting law the major issue of his campaign. In most of the counties affected Beckham was far behind his own ticket and the very meager returns from the other contests on the state ticket showed most of the races to be close. Louisville and Jefferson county returned to the Republican column after several months of control given the Democrats by the state court's action in declaring the Republican victory of 1925 "no election" because of fraud." SAYS SALT LAKE VOTE REPUBLICAN VINDICATION Salt Lake City, Nov. 9—Vindication of the Republican party in Salt Lake county was claimed today by supporters of John F. Bowman, conceded to have been elected mayor yesterday, over C. Clarence Neslen, Democrat, incumbent. While both Neslen and Bowman are members of the Mormon church and no religious issue was raised, a spiritified campaign resulted following charge if irregularities in office against Republicans. PHILADELPHIA SENDS J. M. ,BECK_TO_CONGRESS His Right to Hold Old Vare Seat Under Inquiry—Hancock Elected in New York. Philadelphia, Nov. 8.—The Congress delegation from Pennsylvania's First District will remain strictly Republican in make-up as a result of the sweep of James M. Beck, former United States Solicitor General, over his Democratic opponent, Dr. John P. Mulrenan, in the special election held today. Owing to the proverbial weakness of the minority party in Philadelphia, the election of Mr. Beck had been conceded since his nomination by the Vare organization leaders several weeks ago. GIRL LOSES IN RACE FOR MAYOR New Hampshire Town Prefers Former Policeman to Young Graduate Concord, N. H., Nov. 9—A former telephone operator and University of New Hampshire graduate's bid for fame and the office of mayor of this city had been definitely rejected today. He was preferred, preferred Mayor Fred N. Marden to Miss M. Gwendolyn Jones in a ratio of better than two to one. Had Miss Jones been elected she would have been the first woman mayor of any New England city. The vote stood 4,464 in favor of the present mayor, a former policeman, to 2,200 for the 24-year-old girl campaigner. Miss Jones took her defeat with a smile. She had no future plans she said, and she did not prepared to say whether she would attempt to follow her announced intention when she (Continued on page 4.) MEMBER AGENCIES IN BIG COMMUNIYT DRIVE.

Europe Protects BIG PROFITS IN SUGAR BEETS FOR AMERICAN FARMERS CHICAGO—Europe with four times the population produces ten times the much beet sugar as the United States but consumes only 30 per cent more according to Stephen H Love of Salt Lake City president of the United States Beet Sugar Association "Individually Americans eat far more sugar than the people of Europe." Mr Love said, "Europe now even produces more than 5,500,000 tons annually as against 600,000 tons in this country." Sugar beet cultivation plays a much more important part in the general economy of Europe than in the United States. Europeans oogan to rebuild their sugar industry soon after the World War. While the total sugar production of Europe now practically is the same as it was prior to the war there have been decided changes in the use of sugar in our countries of Spain and the Irish Free State have seen up sugar oog culture since the end of the conflict and are expanding it vigorously. All the new imations created by the peace treaty so situated climatically than they are Miami-Havana Plane To The big plane "Key W Travel from Miami to Havana will be cut to less than three hours when projected air service from the Florida metropolis to Key West is inaugurated this winter. The Miami-Key West planes will connect with the big tri-motored Fokker planes of the Pan American Air Line which began air mail service. "Broadcasting in America," he said, "has gone far beyond all early expectations. Its pre-eminence in the country today is due in large part to intelligent public interest and the appreciation of radio possibilities of American technical and merchantian organizations and the support they have given to its development. I am told that a series of programs is soon to be put over an overload less than 85 sittings by General Motors. Hardly a greater proof of the dependability and value of radio broadcasting could be given than the decision to utilize so extensive a network in the development of radio programs. The adoption of radio broadcasting by an industrial organization of the magnitude of General Motors is simple proof that radio is definitely accepted as an efficient and powerful method of maintaining contact with the public."

Woodson, Director and Editor of The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, is making a personal appeal for funds to promote this great movement. Few people realize what a monumental task has been undertaken and what it means for the future of the race. Send what you can, be it little or much, to the Director, 1536 Ninth Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. William Monroe Trotter, of Boston, seems never so well satisfied as he is when he is making some of these Republican Anti-Negro white folks miserable. Now he and his organization have accepted the invitation of Secretary Hubert Work, of the Interior Department, at Washington, and cited an individual case where the worst kind of segregation exists with apparently no good reason therefor. It's a bad time to call attention to these things too for the presidential election comes on next year and these colored folks, like some white folks, will vote to get even and "let the result land where it may." THE STRANGE CASE OF MARCUS GARVEY Marcus Garvey, a West Indian, and a subject of Great Britain, came to this country and began a crusade in behalf of the black race, in that he began a movement for the return of the Africans in this and other countries to the Dark Continent. He made his appeal to black people in every clime and as a result he built up an organization with headquarters in New York that practically revolutionized the thought of all of the patriotic sons of Ham. Money flowed into the coffers of the circulation and those who saw it go in a good little attention as so how it went out. Garvey's campaigns, his propaganda cost all that he received. A million dollars would not have been a large sum to finance such a movement as he promoted. Jealousy among the leaders followed and then his enemies fought him all along the line. He gave them a "Roland for their Oliver." He could not look before and well behind, and in an unguarded moment a letter was written by his officials and signed by him. This laid the basis for the charge that he was using the mails to defraud. Five years in the Atlanta Penitentiary was his portion. The time has traveled swiftly and he is now a subject for parole. But this privilege has not been vouchsafed to him, although he has proven himself a model prisoner. Ordinarily, he could have appealed to his own country, but his agitation has done much injury to Great Britain and he is not wanted either in the West Indies or anywhere else, under the flag of the British Empire. If he is paroled, he would remain in this country until the expiration of his sentence. Under the law, he is subject to deportation, that is he must go to the country, where he owes his allegiance. All efforts to get an explanation of this peculiar condition has failed. Mareus Garvey recognizes no country but Africa and he claims to be the ruler of the black Republic. He has his own flag and has organized his own black army, so to speak. We take it then that the Department of Justice, sometimes called the Department of Injustice is puzzled as to Garvey's status and as to what shall be done with him. So far as we can observe, he should be given a square deal. He has been sinned against, more than he has sinned. There is little doubt that he will continue to be a live issue here, even after he is dead and the indications are that the day of his demise is a long way off. He can establish headquarters in Canada, just across the border either at Detroit or Buffalo. We are of the opinion that we shall hear much more about this remarkable leader. The basic principles advocated by him are sound even though some of his vagaries may be open to question. We have no hesitation in saying that the gates of the Atlanta Sure Way to End Muscular Pains Sure Way to End Muscular Pains Don't be miserable with backaches and pain from sore, strained muscles and ligaments brought about by hard labor, violent exercise or any other cause. Apply a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster over the sore part and the pain, soreness and stiffness will leave you—almost immediately. Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster ends pain like magic because the medication on the plaster penetrates through the skin, goes direct to the affected parts, and begins to act at once and its marvelous effectiveness in relieving pain continues as long as the plaster remains on the body. Thousands of hard-working men and women have found this the simplest, easiest, quickest, surest way to relieve pain from sore and strained muscles. Do not suffer another minute. Get a Red Cross Kidney Plaster at any drug store. From the moment you put it on you will be astounded at its marvelous effectiveness. Penitentiary should outwardly swing wide for him.

REPUBLICANS WIN IN (Continued from page 1.) quit college of entering the Yale law school to prepare for the bar. Lack of finances has so far been responsible for her inability to carry out this program. The girl made an active campaign with her brother, a garage mechanic, as her manager. She promised nothing, but insisted, if ejected, she would see to it that municipal funds were expended more wisely. Her appeals were addressed principally to the working men and women of the city. VARE'S MACHINE PROVES STRENGTH Philadelphia Independents Routed Completely in Mayorality Election Philadelphia, Nov. 9--The republican organization under the leadership of Senator-Elect William S. Vare is still in the saddle in Pina-de-alphia. Efforts by independents to unhorse it at yesterday's municipal election meet win failure. The entire organization thief, accused by Harry A. O'Neill or mayor, has kept in office by the Republican. Mackey's majority over J. Hampton Moore, Citizens' party candidate, with returns tabulated from 1,320 of the 1,517 districts in the city, was 154, 582. The route of the independents was complete. Moore apparently carried only one of the forty-eight wards. Senator-Elect Vare said the heavy Republican vote was a notice to the country that Philadelphia was still the stronghold of Republicans and that it would "give heart and courage to Republicans everywhere upon the eve of the presidential election." "It is gratifying to know," he added, "that the citizens of Philadelphia refused to be sidetracked in the campaign by false issues or idle talk. "I think it proper to say at this time that Philadelphia Republicans are grateful to United States Senator Reed Smoot for his visit to this city during the campaign and for his spendi-address address." The number of the Citizens' party asserted that many irregularities had been discovered and that proceedings would be started for the opening of a number of ballot boxes.

Manila, Philippine Islands, September 29, 1927 Chief of Police I have been informed that my two brothers are living in your city whose names are Charlie H. and Olen G. Hutchison. It 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, Tennesse. 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.

"THE LIONS" VANCOUVER ```markdown ``` This Week By Arthur Brisbane By Arthur Brisbane BEAUTY—AND SERVICE. WHAT WILL AMERICA BE? INFANTILE PARALYSIS. THE SOIL OF FLORIDA. The United States Labor Bureau says American women spend $5,000,000 a day, $1,825,000,000 a year, on beauty shops and aids to beauty. Women spending the five million a day would be more beautiful if they kept the money. But spending it makes them happy, and happiness is worth its price. Conrad Zeller, sixty-five years old, father of twenty children, retires from post office work on a pension of $60 a month. His average pay from Uncle Sam during twenty-eight years was $85 a month. Not very generous from a country rich enough to let its women spend eighteen hundred millions a year on wrinkle eradication, face lifting, artificial curls and complexion. Another step in travel by air, German and British dirigibles, each of 5,000,00 cubic feet capacity, will race around the world next year. They expect to make the trip in twelve days, with two stops for fuel. That makes the smaller than it was, and would interest Jules Verne. The Germans, with new light Diesel engines in their dirigibles, will surprise the world. What is America, as regards its people, what is it desired to be? Indians were here first, Columbus came, then the Pilgrim fathers determined to worship God as they pleased and to make everybody else worship him as they pleased. They would not recognize today's populations. The City of Chicago contains 450,000 Germans, 400,000 Poles, 300,000 Jews, 300,000 Irish, 200,000 Italians, 200,000 Bohemians and Czecho-Slovakians, 125,000 Swedes, 50,000 Norwegians, and 50,000 Greeks. Not exactly what you would call "pure Norwegian." What type what civilization will come out of that mixture? Victoria and FLOWERS BLOOM ALL WINTER A Christmas rose plucked in the garden is no novelty in the flower vase of a Victoria or Vancouver automobile, for the climate of these two British Columbia cities is so cold during the winter that both calm eternal summer. The gopher can drive, approach the green putt on a real grass green practically every day in the year, and number of miles of spileno roads are in first class condition the windy ground for motoring. The warm climate is largely due to the warming influence of the japan current and protecting range of mountains. Victoria capital of British Columbia is a city of rare charm with its beautiful drives and residential sections, its first class golf courses to which access is easily obtained by the player, its unique Chinese quarter its turbaned Hindus, its ivy-covered Empress Hotel and its imposing parishment buildings. Both the Victoria Golf Club and the Olympic Golf and Country Club have amassed thousands of guests in a single year, and golf stopping at the Empress may be at both upon payment of a small green tee. Victoria is noted for its magnificent drives leading through beautiful streets, along the ocean's shores and "ar into the interior of the island." Victoria is at the southern tip of Vancouver Island, named after Cap over Magnets for Travelers 10 ```markdown ``` Infantile paralysis should interest government, national, state and municipal, more than it seems to do. There are 40,000 cases in the United States now. Nobody knows how the disease starts and spreads. The disease breaks out, nobody knows how or why, in dark city streets and in distant ampit beautiful valleys, more than a thousand miles from either ocean, and five thousand feet above them. Such a mysterious disease among swine or cattle would be investigated and fought by the Government energetically. The Rockefeller Institute is doing admirable work, but a nation of 115,000,000 should not leave such a fight to the generosity of one man. Forty Florida newspapers combined to publish, every two weeks, a special supplement, called "The Farm and Grove Section." It will supply people in and out of the State with full information about Florida's agricultural resources and the way to develop them. Mr. Frank R. Hammett, of Jacksonville, will have charge of this useful work. Wealth and fertility unlimited are in Florida's soil. The "tourist" will always be one of the great Florida crops, but Florida in a few years will look back with wonder to the day when the tourist was the "principal" crop of the State, and its chief financial reliance. Industries will be established and factories built throughout Florida as they are building now in California. No one can estimate the future of that great State, only TEMPORARILY set back by real estate booming and foolishness. Albert Edward Davies, twenty-eight, was told by doctors that his three-year-old daughter must die of septic pneumonia; it was only a matter of days. The child was in dreadful agony. The father drowned her in the bathtub to end her suffering. "I could not bear to see her suffer any longer," he said when he gave himself up. The judge said he was bound to tell the jury: "Had this poor child been an animal instead of a human being the man would have been actually liable to punishment if he had not put it out of its misery. That is the law." The jury acquitted the man. Birth control ladies will be intercared in his case. His wife was tubercular, had four children in four years, died in the fourth childbirth. The law would have punished anybody for showing her how to avoid that. over Magnets for "THE LIONS."

Flat Foot as Prevalent as in War Days, Says Dr. Wm. M. Scholl, Noted Expert on Foot Hygiene PEDOGRAPHIC IMPRINT OF A NORMAL ARCH A NORMAL ARCH FLAT FOOT HOW FLAT FOOT BREAKS DOWN SHOE STRONG ARCHES ARE ESSENTIAL TO GRACEFUL MOVEMENTS EXCESSIVE WEIGHT TAXES WEAK ARCHES Feminine Success Story of Girlhood Dreams Come True MRS. MEDILL McCORMICK EDITH MAE CUMMINGS MARY GARDEN CHICAGO, Ill.-While a book published by the War Department entitled "Defects in Drafted Men" showed that rejections for flat foot exceeded any other two combined causes of rejection for military service during the great war. it is still a common defect. Dr Wm M Schon the noted foot nygeneral and today "There is not a lot less prevalent." Dr Schon said, "and as many conditions in urban life which contribute to it are increasing, it is quite possible that flat foot is more frequent. "The army recognized that the functioning of the arch is essential to proper walking. The arch gives elasticity of movement to the foot acts as a fulcrum or lever and absorbs shock. The great or longitudinal arch of the foot generally refers to simply the genial or most evident the inner border of the foot. When the arch is wholly or partially broken down we say, roughly, a man has flat foot. "Unlike a true masonic arch of stone the arch of the foot lacks a keystone. The skeleton of a foot shows the bones of the arch are held in place by umnants on the foot of tissue in the arch. But the arch feet of the pain weighed the true umnants in the knee." Feminine Success S MARY GARDEN DETROIT Mich. "Don't let anyone pick your profession for you if you would succeed in life, was the advice given to women in an address here by Edith Mae Cummings, millionaire real estate operator who less than four years ago was a $65 a month telephone operator. "Choosing another's life work is arrogant and old-fashioned," said Mrs. Cummings in an address before the Edith Mae Cummings School of Business Science for Women. "The world is already jammed with disillusioned and down-and-out musiciana artists, actresses, and human what-not who leg muscles control the vigorous movements of the foot, their condition is reflected in the state of the foot. "When the structures of the arch have weakened and lost their healthy tone they relax under the body weight and weak or fallen arch results," said Dr. Schoil. "A weas foot condition usually precedes broken down arch or flat foot. In many cases of weak foot the feet may appear perfectly normal, the arches nips and well developed nevertheless a flabiness and loss of tone in the tissues exists. Many persons complain of foot and leg weariness, early fatigue and tender feet without realizing the direct cause is foot or arch strain. People often asccribe to neumatism the results of fallen arches for a dull ache in the legs pains in the knees and pain extending into the thigh, hips, and ears often result from injury to the foot. "As the trouble progresses the arch may appear some flattened when the foot is pained." continued Dr. Schoil. "A depressive impression of the sole of the foot when the body's weight is not pressed upon it would show the foot normal or almost so it would reveal the foot flattened and pressure. The final stage is advanced that foot when the foot has assumed a flattened condition without weight bearing. The Story of Girlhood Dr. MRS. MEDILL McCORMICK EDITH MAE CUMMINGS might have found a competence, if not fame, at some switchboard, over a typewriter, in a school room, or business office. "The story of feminine success is invariably the recital of girlhood dreams come true. When Mary Garden was still a red-headed child, singing solo at church socials, she was subconsciously preparing for the musical triumphs that lay ahead Long before Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt organized the women of the world for equal rights, she was demonstrating her organization ability at mid-pie parties. Galli Curtis practised her high Ca as she plumped the long sunny Italy years ago. Though Mrs finer, more flexible foot movements are lost. Flat foot may occur if the result from wounds or from illness in which case a physician should be called. "Exaggerated high heels which carry the weight forward into narrow crimping shoes are a common cause of injury not only to the longitudinal arch but also to the metatarsal area at the call of the foot." Dr. Smith said. "Tapid growth in children or the foot structure is able to occur the additional strain, continued standing in one position, or carrying of excessive weight in daily occupation are among physical anuses that injure the area. "When the arch has become weakened and the foot has its normal contour the ones of the arch should be restored to their normal position. Surgical plates of arch support individually fitted to the foot are used to give the necessary correction and stimulate museum control regarding the restriction of circulation to the strain or ligaments and tendons of the tortured nerve.

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 spirit regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment.

Mrs. Burton Advises Women on Motherhood and Companionship. "For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Margaret Burton of Kansas City. "I was terribly nervous and subject to periods of terrible suffering and malanchaolia. How are the proud mother and child to cope with such hardship and inspiration to my husband. I believe hundreds of other women would like to know the secret of my happiness and the woman who will write me." Mrs. Burton offers her advice entirely without charge. She has nothing to sell. Letters should be written to her, 207 Massachusetts, Kansas City, Mo. Companionship will be strictly confidential. Supreme Chancellor Green Makes Reply (Continued from last week.) It is true the supreme lodge met in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1899, and I was one of the representatives who voted to hold our biennial session in Jacksonville, Florida. Racial relations were far more pleasant, more tolerant, and more agreeable in Jacksonville. Florida in 1899 than they are in 1927. Furthermore, we had a very small representation of members of the supreme court, and no encampment of the uniform rank department, and no "jim-crow" street cars in Jacksonville, Florida. It is true, Mr. Editor, that we have also held biennial sessions in Kansas City, Missouri, in St. Louis Missouri, in Louisville, Kentucky and in Baltimore, Maryland, and EACH ONE of these cities mentioned ARE in the South, but not in the far South, and NEITHER of these cities mentioned HAVE "jim-crow" street cars. I have voted for and would again vote to hold one of our biennial sessions in either of these cities mentioned whenever an invitation has been and may be extended to the supreme lodge to hold our sessions in either of those cities. In the cities above mentioned, there is no probability of our women being subjected to humiliations, or insults of "jim-crow" street cars, and there is small probability of our uniform rank members causing race riots because of insults from irresponsible members of the other race. I have full faith and confidence in the promises of the mayor of the City of Dallas, in its Chamber of Commerce, in its eminent citizens, and in the representatives of the railroad to carry out as far as they could, the promises made to us in the matter of accommodations, and in the matter of courtesies that they would extend to us. But, Mr. Editor, living in the South all of my life, and knowing the South, (and YOU living in the South, and knowing the South), you know it is beyond the power of the mayor of the City of Dallas, and of its Chamber of Commerce, and of the eminent citizens to prevent irresponsible members of their race from being adult members of our uniform rank department wearing soldiers' clothes, and of the names of the Northern states from which they came. If the mayors of Brownsville, Texas and of Houston, Texas, backed by the unlimited power of the army and navy of the United States government, could not prevent clashes between the soldiers of the United States government, and the irresponsible members of their race from bringing about race riots, then what chance would there be for the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia to avoid clashes among their uniform rank members and some irresponsible members of the uniform rank coming in contact with the irresponsible members of the other race. In the report of the proceedings of the supreme lodge found on the front page of The Houston Informer of August 27, 1927, I note your correspondent quotes Mrs. Green as having insulted Texas. I think, Mr. Editor, that in allowing such statements to be printed in the columns of your paper without verification, is unworthy of the reputation of the journal you edit as being printed in the interest of members of the colored race. Mrs. Green is far too well cultured, and has been in attendance too long at the biennial sessions of the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias to insult any ladies or any members of the order of the Court of Calanthe of the jurisdiction of Texasas. Mrs. Green has attended every session of the supreme lodge beginning with the year 1893, except the one held at Jacksonville, Florida in 1893, and has taken part in the discussion of questions arising in the supreme court of the order of Calanthe, and this is the first time she has ever been charged with insulting the women of Texas or other state. A large number of the good friends of Mrs. Green are members of the grand court of the order of Calanthe of Texasas, and she would not insult any of the members representing the order of Calanthe of the jurisdiction of Texasas. She, however, has the courage of her convictions, and does not hesitate to express her opinion on any matter that may arise in the supreme court, order of Calanthe. I am sure, Mr. Editor, that the statements charged against Mrs. Green as having been made in the supreme court of the order of Calanthe were either made in ignorance by your correspondent or were willfully and maliciously charged against her by some person who desired to create ill feelings between her and the representatives of the good women of Texas. (To Be Continued) Editor Richardson's Caustic Remarks (Continued from last week.) No honest Southern Negro relishes the idea of being victimized by jim-crowism, disfranchisement, segregation, mobocracy and "hellocracy"; and, while we do not desire to humiliate and embarrass our racial brothers and sisters from more favorable conditions of the country with these types of injustices and inequalities, we can not VIRGINIA'S OWN THEATER 5000 SEATS LAUREL MAIN STS.

Mr. Green gloats and boasts of Indianapolis' victory over Dallas, and yet he refuses to proclaim to the world that neither the Pythian jurisdiction nor the city of Indianapolis nor the state of Indiana sent even formal invitation to the supreme lodge to hold its 1929 biennial convention in the Hoosier State capital; that the supersite body extended itself an invitation to meet at Indianapolis when no other Northern city could be located which was willing to contest with Dallas and Texas for the next biennial meeting, and, that in the event the next supreme lodge is held in the klan-controlled city, it is more than likely that the supreme lodge will be forced to underwrite its own fund for entertainment, or the larger portion of it. Instead of dealing in insinuations, glittering generalities and predicating his conclusion upon such insinuations, why doesn't the supreme chancellor cite one instance where 'racial trouble' ensued as a result of some national body meeting in some city of the "far South." He reminds one of an old mossback or stand-pat, who is opposed to owning or riding in an automobile because each blind corner is a potential danger point; to the person who objects to riding on trains because there is grave danger of wreck, derailment or collision; who refuses to sail upon the bounding main because the waves might overlap the ship and send it and grave! If what the supreme chancellor says its passengers down to a watery is true—that such gathering of Negroes might cause racial clashes in the South—then it is rather funny that not one interracial clash or domestic disorder has ever been reported during the many years the various organizations have been meeting in cities of the "far South;" and he bases all his conclusions on a faulty, baseless premise—apremise built on insinuation and imagination. Any man who is already prejudiced or has formed certain fixed opinions concerning a cause, is disqualified to serve as judge in any hearing involving the rights of the defendant or litigant; for his decisions will be influenced and reached through partiality and prejudice rather than by an impartial and unbiased method of reasoning. It might be consistent for a northern Negro to assume the Green anti-South attitude, but it is inconsistent for a Southern Negro to take this position and still reside in the South. Furthermore, the Pythian supreme lodge, in point of attendance and the size of its encampment, hardly exceeds, if indeed it really equals, the annual Appealing Seth Schildkraut define cast May and Wednesday poism, adventure and romance.

ACT AT ONCE—ORDER 7 Broadway, Dept. 19 New York, N.Y. sessions and encampments of the Texas order; and all those newspaper reports about "100,000 persons being in attendance at the Pythian supreme lodge" at Chicago during last August, were gross exaggerations. There were not over 200 delegates to both bodies and not over 2,000, if 1,500, at the military camp. It is doubtful if another 1,000 visitors were in the Winay City as a result of the supreme lodge. To be perfectly frank and candid, Chicago hardly knew the Pythians were in the city, and the Madri Gras parade and feature pageant suffered in comparison with similar demonstrations staged annually by the Texas Pythians. We are not boasting nor, bragging but merely confessing and telling the truth! Mr. Green, in his celebrated epistle of last week, citing from the records of the Texas order, argued that the Pythian fraternity in this state is not in the millionaire class; and further asserted that the Louisiana jurisdiction has been in the millionaire class so long that it has ceased to be a novelty and cause for bragging. In his discussion of per capita wealth of the Pythian jurisdiction of Louisiana, Alabama, Texas and Florida—the most substantial jurisdictions of the order—how much did or do frozen assets enter into his comparative statement. If admitting the tenure of the Pythian Louisiana and Florida jurisdictions as liquid resources and assets, what real value have these buildings and to what extent could they be employed to meet the obligations of said jurisdictions in event the insurance commission insisted upon their sale in order to meet outstanding claims. If placed in the market today, what price would these assets bring the order of their respective jurisdictions? Dismissing from the discussion these frozen or quasi-frozen assets of the Pythian jurisdictions of Louisiana, Alabama and Florida, since cash money always talks in a very audible tone, how much of these reported assets and resources represent real liquid assets? The book value of the Pythian temple at Dallas, Texas, owned by the Lone Star State order, is only $163,529.73; yet if the property were placed on the market today the order could easily secure $300,000 for its Dallas holdings; for the site is already in demand for an industrial expansion program in East Dallas.
