RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, DEC. 10, 1927 CHARGED WITH A FELONY Colored Youth Put to Much Trouble George Brown, a colored youth, appeared in the Police Court, Friday, Dec. 2, charged with unlawfully and feloniously stealing taking and carrying away one signet ring, valued at $10.00, and a diamond ring, valued at $75.00 from Miss Clara Watts, at 701 E. Main Street. The evidence as adduced by the complainant, was that she had the two rings on a table in a room and that as she came down Brown went up into the room to get his overcoat. When she returned, she could not find the rings. Later, the rings were found in one of her shoes in the same room. High Praise She said that George Brown was one of the best servants she had ever known, that he was honest so far as she knew and that as a matter of fact, temptations had been placed in his way and he had never taken anything. Brown stated briefly that he did not see the rings and that he did not know anything about them. He had gone into the room and gotten his overcoat. The charge being a felony, Brown was sent on to the grand jury, being placed under $500 bond. As the rings were not out of the house, the charge of stealing taking and carrying away was not supported by evi- dence. Brown had no counsel. Must Leave Premises A high official stated that shoplifters are not arrested until they come out of a store, for the reason that the complainant is liable for damages. The thing stolen must be shown to have been taken from the premises. A CALL TO PRAYER At a recent session of the Baptist Minister's Conference of Richmond and vicinity, there appeared a very interesting visitor in the person of Mrs. Susie B. Williams, a member of Sharon Baptist Church. Mrs. Williams, upon invitation of the president, Rev. J. E. Fountain, B. Th., stated that she had been touched by the seeming lack of devotion and reverence in our city and asked that the members of the Conference join her in an effort to have our churches opened for prayer on Friday of each week between the hours of twelve and one o'clock. After some discussion bearing upon the moral and religious condition of the city, the brethren heartily endorsed the proposal of Sister Williams. Each member agreed that a special effort would be made to call the people to these prayer services each Friday noon. The public is invited to attend; each person desiring better moral and spiritual conditions in our city, is urged to stop in the most convenient church at the appointed hour and join your prayers with others for the good of our community. Pastors are urged to emphasize these meetings from their pulpits; church organizations are asked to put forth special efforts in order that this may become a program of city-wide interest. REV. O. B. SIMMS, Reporter Baptist Minister's Conference, 728 Denns St., Richmond, Va. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. Rosa B. Thomas, of 611 State Street, wishes to thank her many members and friends for the kindness shown her during the illness and death of her father. May God bless you all. You may go all up Broad Street and down again looking for bargains, but you can save time and money by calling at the L. F. M. Store, Broad Street, between 3rd and 4th Streets. It is the old Weisberger Emporium, with new goods and a new management. A LYNCHING ON VA-KY STATE LINE A LYNCHING ON VA-KY STATE LINE WHITEBURG, KY, Nov. 30. On the spot where a few days ago Kentuckyians and Virginians joined hands in celebrating the opening of the Kentucky-Virginia highway, a colored man, alleged slayer of a Virginian, was lynched early today by a mob, said to be composed of citizens of both States. Then, after hanging Leonard Woods, the man accused of the murder, the mob fired many shots into the Body, cut it down, and, using the grands built for the highway dedication as a pyre, burned the body. The mob dispersed by the light of the burning wands at Pound Gap, on the State line. SIX ESCAPE IN CONFUSION. In the confusion, six prisoners escaped from the Letcher county jail presided over by Mrs. Fess Whitaker as jailer. She was appointed recently to succeed her husband, once known as the "jailed jailor" who was killed in an automobile accident. Whitaker, several years ago, was placed in his own jail by a county judge on a charge of contempt. County Attorney Harry L. Moore immediately began an investigation into the lynching of Woods, alleged slayer of Hershel Deaton, 35 years old, of Coeburn, on Toms Creek, Va. who was foreman at a Fleming, Ky. mine. OPEN LETTER TO GOV. BYRD His Excellency, Governor Harry Flood Byrd State of Virginia. ...Most Honorable Sir:—Within a single week, two most regrettable happenings have registered black marks against Virginia, the Commonwealth over which you have the honor to preside. One of these has been condemned by an intelligent public opinion. So dastardly was the "Virginia-Kentucky Lynching Bee" that upon the day there following, Your Excellency expressed disapproval in no uncertain language, and offered to ald Kentucky, in bringing those who persecuted this "group murder" to justice. Not only Virginians, but thoughtful citizens all over our great Republic, have your courageous attitude as be speaking a new day for the South, when organized murder by mobs will be as reprehensible and subject to the same punitive measures as individual murder. The second thing to which I refer is more controverted in its nature and for that very reason is likely to be passed over as not can capable of staining the fair name of Virginia. The case in point is the jury verdict of death noted on on last Wednesday, November 30, to one Shirley Winningham, Isle of Wight, County, State of Virginia, charged with brutal, criminal assault upon the person of one Hilda Barlow of same county, resulting in death of said Bilda Barlow. Having been present when the trial was in progress, I submit that language proves inadequate to describe the helminess of the crime or the fiendishness of its perpetrator. Your Excellency is too well acquainted with the fact's surrounding this case to make reiteration necessary. Permit me, however, simply to call your attention to the unusualness of this case, to point out what must appear even to Your Excellency t grievous error on the part of the State of Virginia, and finally pray your employment of executive clemency in the commutation of the death sentence of said Shirley Winningham, sentenced to die January 25, 1928 to life imprisonment. Your Excellency most assuredly possesses the intelligence, which now is a matter not only of court record but of public information, that said Shirley Winningham on August 6, 1927 was adjudicated inane by a commission in Isle of Wight County, that the State sent a commission to Isle of Wight County tt apprehend said Shirley Winningham, that the sheriff of said county refused the surrender of said Shirley Winningham. From August 6, 1927 until October 14, 1927 said Shirley Winningham, adjudicated insane was allowed to rove at will, a potential menace to society and constituted authority. Court records will show that this is the first time in the annals of Virginia jurisprudence that the man date of the State has been openly disobeyed by a county official in respect to an already adjudicated insane individual. Your Excellency can draw his own conclusion as to whether this crime could have been within the reign of possibility on October 14, 1927, if the orders of the State over which he presides had been obeyed on August 6, 1927.

RICHMOND'S OWN THEATER MOSQUE LAUREL & MAIN STS. RUN BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE Phone Mad.27.93 Described as one of the most versatile, colorful and delightfully entertaining attractions on tour, Dunbar's Collegian, has been booked as the Deadline attraction this week at the new Mosque. Laurel and Main Sts. stopping a variety of stage presentations reported to be of unusual merit. The Dunbar company includes dancers, singers, comedians and instrumentalists of high order, presenting novel diversion in a hand some setting. Having registered decisive success in a number of theatrical centers, the act was especially booked by the Mosque as a pre-holiday attraction and is expected to score in the ftwr of Richmond theatregoers. It will play the Mosque the entire week. Because of the operatic concert scheduled Tuesday night, the performances Tuesday will be limited. There will be the usual matinees shows, beginning at 2 o'clock, with the last bill, including the stage numbers, to run from 6 to 7.45 clock. Nina Olivette, one of the best known comedians in the American theatre, will be a particular attraction the first three days of the week. Miss Olivette has been featured in such New York musical comedy successes as George White's "Scandals" the "Music Box Revue," "Captain Jinks" and other recent hits. Equipped generously with a packet of new songs and crisp wit, Miss Olivette undoubtedly will offer an outstanding number. Gilber and Wymp will present a breezy sketch of choice good humor and hilarious farce. The pliquant and chic Gypsy Byrne will serve in the unique role of girl master of ceremonies and, additionally, there will be a special "surprise" act, heralded as an attraction of distinct worth. The screen bookings are of singular interest, featuring the popular Phyllis Haver, star of the "King of Kings" and other notable successes, in her latest release, "The Wise Wife," said to be an absorbing drama of modern domestic life and the laxity in the observance of conventions. The story builds to an unusual and powerful climax. Besides the standard Mosque features there will be another complete episode to the comedy hit, "The Collegians," a brightly story of modern college life. (Continued on Page 5.)

Evans is attracting much attention these days by the business manner in which he is going about remodelling Williams Lodge Elke Home at the N. E. corner of Fourth and City Streets. A commodious hall will be fashioned upstairs and the indications are that it will be a paying investment. Contractor Evans has a large force of men employed, which indicates that it will not be long before the job is completed. The Elks are delighted. THE COMMUNITY FUND THANKS COLORED WORKERS. RICHMOND COMMUNITY FUND Richmond, Va., Nov. 29, 1927. Mr. A. W. Holmes. Richmond, Va. My dear Mr. Holmes: You have helped Richmond demonstrate once again that Richmond never fails. The success of the Richmond Community Fund campaign has made me very happy. I wish you to know that I deeply appreciate the hard work which did in the campaign. It was a big job and a hard job. The spendid job of the workers made victory possible and made it a real privilege for all of us to participate in an important work for others. For myself, the trustees of the Richmond Community Fund, the trustees of the thirty-eight member agencies of the Community Fund, for the thousands who are assisted by these agencies, and for the City of Richmond to whose glory our work has added. I thank you most sincerely. Very truly yours. W. H. SCHWARZSCHILD In addition to the thanks expressed above, of which you are a great part, I personally wish to thank one and all who brought victory and success to the Colored Division of the Richmond Community Fund in its recent campaign. The goal was reached and the amount over-subscribed, for which our deepest gratitude is expressed. NEGRO CRGANIZATION SOCIETY With a masterly discussion of the subject of "Cooperation" in the course of which he drew graphic pictures of conditions as he had observed them in China, Japan, India, and these United States—pictures which showed beyond the shadow of a doubt that with the Negro, as with other races, unity is a source of strength while discord produces nothing but weakness and its consequent dependency. Dr. Robert Ruska Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, delivered the address which brought to a close the fifteenth annual session of the Negro Organization Society and another year of unselfish service to the race by this cooperative body. The sessions took place in St. John's A. M. E. Church of Norfolk Va. recently. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Dr. R. R. Moton, Honorary President; Major Allen Washington, President; Dr. John M Gandy, Executive Secretary Miss L. A. Jenkins, Treasurer; Miss India Hamilton, Recording Secretary; Mr. L. C White, Field Secretary; trd Lawyer T. C. Walker, Field Agent. Vice-Presidents: Rev. L. L. Downing, Roanoke; Mrs. Oran Brown Stokes, Richmond; Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Richmond; Prof. W. M. Robinson, Ozeana; Mrs. Ida N. Paey, Norfolk; Mr. P. B. Young, Norfolk; Rev. A. L. James, Roanoke; Dr. R. C. Yancey, Boydton; Mr. A. T. Shirley, Herndon; Dr. G. E. Read, Covington; Dr. Alvius Russell, Lawrenceville; Rev. J. M. Jeffries, Charlotte C. H.; Dr. M. E. Davis Roanoke; and Prof. J. W. Barco, Richmond. When the colored folks began sitting in those plush seats for 25 cents, they felt that they had gotten their money's worth when they first sat down without counting the movies and the vaudeville by great producers.

At a regular meeting of the Second Baptist Church last Monday night, Moderator E. F. Johnson presiding, the recommendation of the committee of fifty on call of a pastor was rejected. This ended the hopes of those who have been supporting Rev. C. M. Long for that position. The facts in the case are remarkable, the like of which has never been known in the church animals in this State. Rev. C. M. Long came to this city and delivered several sermons, which won the hearts of the majority of the members of the Second Baptist Church. ONE COMMITTEE RELIEVED. A committee of five members had been named on the call of a pastor and the recommended him to the church. The choice of the committee was practically unanimously approved. Then began negotiations with the distinguished New Jersey divine. He is alleged to have submitted conditions and propositions practically all of which were accepted by the church. He decided to accept and then later notified them that he would decline the call. The master of declination was reported to the church. The church acted, relieved the committee of five on a call of a pastor from further service and named a committee of fifty members to call a pastor, subject to confirmation by the church. MIND CHANGED. In the meantime, it is stated that a telegram was received from Rev. C. M. Long stating that he would accept the call. This was referred to the new committee and that committee recommended to the church that he be named as pastor of the Second Baptist Church, so to speak. This report was made last Monday night as aidesaid, with the result that only six members outside of the committee voted for the report. Another name will be presented by the committee of fifty and the task of calling a pastor will be under way again. Dr. J. R. Griffin is indisposed at his residence, 700 N. 28th St. The doctor is convalescing after a three week's illness. Miss Lallian Mae Lewis, of 2519 Bainbridge St., who has been sick for several days, is slowly improving Mrs. Judah Smith continues very sick at her home, 818 N. 30th St. Dr. J. W. Parker and M. V.

During holidays, you want a place to forget the past year's troubles. The Mosque Theatre, Laurel and Main Streets fills the bill. How much? Just 25 cents. You spend that amount drinking soda water. REV. JOSEPH ARRINGTON ACCEPTS CALL TO ST. LUKE BAPTIST CHURCH Another great divine has been added to the list of pastors in Richmond in the person of Rev. Joseph Arrington, who has accepted the pastorate of the St. Luke Baptist Church. The writer predicts that in a few years this church will be among the leading churches of Richmond. Although small of statue, Rev. Arrington has unlimited abilities. During the illness of Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D., it was thought by some that Rev. Arrington was too small of stature to pastor the church, but he proved by his work as a preacher, as a comfort to the sick, and a pacifier in the time of death, that what he lacks in statue, he makes it up in brain and a Christianlike spirit to everybody. What will be Manakin and Rising Mt. Zion's loss will be St. Luke Baptist gain and a blessing to us.

NO, YOU MUST NOT QUIRT THE CAT! NO! I HEARD MAW BAY, YOUR NO MEANS YES IN THAT CASE I'LL HAVE TO BAY YES! 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.

What one has, the other may lack, but by combining information that may be found in many of them, you will secure an education in racial matters of which you may well be proud. It took the New Yorkers a "mighty long time" to find out that they had amongst them one of the best leaders in the country. For our part, we knew this about Fred. R. Moore all the time. A determined effort is being made hereabouts to arouse the colored people to the necessity of qualifying to vote in the next municipal election. The ruling of the United States Supreme Court emphasizes the fact that a citizen of color can be a Democrat just as much as a white citizen can be a Democrat and a Republican. Mayor J. Fulmer Bright, ex-Mayor George Ainslie and John Hirschberg, have colored advocates and the coming political contest will be lively. The rank and file will hardly take an interest, but the progressive, intelligent elements seem to be anxious to "wear the Confederate gray" in one city primary election even though it may cost them the right to vote for a Republican candidate for President in the Federal election. May the best man win. The lynching and burning of Leon ard Woods, colored, the alleged slayer of Herschel Deaton, white mine fore man on the dividing line between Virginia and Kentucky, has raised an interesting question. The common wealth's attorney asserted that the lynching took place in Virginia by white man from Virginia. Now the sheriff has since wired Gov. Harry F. Byrd, of Virginia, that the lynching took place wholly in Kentucky. Gov. Byrd's ringing comment upon the outrage is a model for the chief executives of the Republic. There was a veiled hope in some quarters that the lynching took place actually upon the dividing line between the two states and this would have formed a basis for raising of a Federal question. As the matter now stands, a thorough investigation will be made to the end that public sentiment may be aroused to such an extent as to aid in the wiping out of this crowning infamy of the century. SHEPHERD'S NOTES The Grand Shepherd, Ora Brown Stokes, in company with Rev. Goodgame. Daughters Susie J. Williams, Lelia Wynn, Lillie Baskerville, Mary Crump, Lucy Clark, Capt. Wm. Milton, Fred Clark, Nathan Smith, and Grand Secretary Amos C. Clark, motored to Enonville, Va., on the third Sunday in November to attend a Shepherd's meeting that had been arranged by Mrs. Lucy J. Morgan and the members of her Fold. The meeting was inspirational from start to finish. It was held at Upper Liberty Baptist Church. The Grand Shepherd delivered the principal address, which may be classed among her best to the members of the Order. Grand Secretary-Treasurer, A. C. Clark, spoke for a present membership drive of 10,000 new members for the year and urged every one to his and her duty in this campaign. He presented representatives of the Military Department, namely: Capt. William Milton, Sergeants Lillie Baskerville and Mary Crump. Rev. Goodgame, of Virginia Union University, was then introduced and gave a brief, but spicy and encouraging talk. A number of new members was written up. At the conclusion of this meeting we congratulated Mrs. Morgan on the arrangement of such a meeting which meant so much to the Order and community. The membership drive is warming up, the Reds are still ahead, but the Blues are reducing their lead materially. At the meeting on the 6th ins. the Blues' report did not "set well on the stomachs" of the Reds, and they declare they are going to Unnecessary to Endure Those Awful Pains Any Longer For quickest, most lasting relief from Neuralgia pains, put on a Johnson's Red Cross Plaster.

Let all of the captains of both sides be on hand early next Tuesday night prepared to battle to a finish for the best report for the week. Our esteemed Grand Presiding Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, made a great hit in Pennsylvania on her recent trip. She brought with her application seventy new members. Every member of the Order should rejoice because of the ability of our leader to bring such tangible results to our Order. Deputy Mary E. Freeman planned for this trip and covered herself with glory in these excellent meetings and results obtained therefrom. We expect very much to report that at this time Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, our Grand Presiding Shepherd, is confined to her bed by sickness and has been for the past ten days. She is, however, improving some, and hopes to be out in a few days.

THE PHOTO SHOWS HIM READY TO FLY TO THE PACIFIC COAST IN THE PLANE THAT IS SHOWN BEHIND HIM AT THE MAYWOOD, ILL. FLYING FIELD. AN OPEN LETTER. (Continued from Page 1) similarly he may deride whether those who disobeyed are not in actuality "particels criminis." In my own mind I find no doubt as to whether the crime was committed by said Shirley Winningham. The evidence seemed conclusive, the testimony of James Goodwin was unshakable and proved most damaging to the defense. In the light of the former facts which I have reviewed, however, I am in serious doubt as to responsibility for the crime. Both the judge in the case and the jury utterly disregarded the plea of insanity. They could easily, do, but the cold barren fact will ever remain, that up in lale of Wight County, the man sentenced by them had been adjudicated insane, but that the constituted local authorities, feeling themselves apparently bigger than the State, refused compliance with a decree calling for his incarceration. One fails to see how under such circumstances, the extreme penalty could have been the verdict of the jury. Even in cases where there is no semblance of doubt, the death penalty is optional with the jury and is often wavered in favor of life imprisonment. In this case there is not a mere semblance of doubt but a serious question involves responsibility at all. Why not life imprisonment in this case? Finally Your Excellency is not totally unacquainted with the psychology of a large group of Negroes. Many of them feel, whether justly or unjustly, is not my intention to claim, that your group, honored sir, makes the law, is the law itself, and administers the law to suit itself. That if this crime had been committed by a white man, under similar circumstances, he would have been sent to the insane asylum in lice of being penalized with death. That the reason it did not occur in this case was that the "mob" outside had to be satisfied. That the sentence had previously been passed, the verdict rendered, and that the trial was a mere formality like that one of our "one Lord". I have no disposition at the present to affirm or disclaim any part of this attitude. I simply call attention to its existence. I do urge upon you, however, most honorable sir, as a native of the state of Virginia, as one interested in the maintenance of law and order, as one intensely interested in my own people; that you, out of consideration of the peculiar circumstances surrounding this case, out of respect for the faithful, self-respecting citizens of color in Virginia, exercise your gubernatorial powers to commute this sentence from death to life imprisonment. By so doing, you will not offend the dignity of your high office nor show yourself an "enemy to Caesar." My voice, if the articulation of a plea for mercy arising from the fettered souls of black folk less favored by circumstances than your powerful group. May my plea for mercy touch a heart which like my own must offrave mercy for itself before the "Great Judge" of us all. Signed: J.

Other attractions on the same bill will include such features as Barr, Willie and Schell, in a brisk comedy and song sketch, and Dayton and Harrison, offering a sparkling comedy conceit reported to be removed from the ordinary run.

And a modern voyage of rediscovery is no longer a matter of years or even months. The two Canadian Pacific West Indies cruises by the liner Montroyal start from New York on January 26 and February 29, each returning after a voyage of 29 days. Judging by the increasing number of Americans who yearly cruise the West Indies, the Spanish Main is still as tempting as it was to Columbus, Ponce de Leon, Drake, Cortes, Hawkins and a hundred others. Although there are no pirates now, no rich galleons to sack, no buried treasure to seek there yet remain the oracing air on silver seas, the lovely coral tides the charm of tropical life, the many evidences of a historic past.

Interest on both sides of the Atlantic has recently been aroused by the solicitude of King George and Queen Mary of England for the welfare and comfort of the least-known and loneliest island colony in the world. The romance of Tristan da Cunha is its grandeur of isolation, the struggle for existence of the few inhabitants of its rock-bound shores and the experiences of a sailor who left as a heritage to the island the belief that somewhere amid the rocks is to be found. The island is distant from treasure and island is distant from Nepoleonite neighbor, St. Helen-Isle of Nepoleonite memories — by 1,500 miles and far from the path of ships, rarely indeed receiving a visit from the great and busy world.

There they found three Americans, one of whom, Jonathan Lambert, "of Salem, a citizen and mariner thereof," is reputed to have sailed the seas as a buccaneer. The story goes that he came to Tristan in order to hoard in a secret place, the booty of many a rich prize, seized and plundered on the roaring Spanish Main. The continuous occupation of Tristan did begin, however, in 1817 when he on the withdrawal of the garrison, William Glass of Keiso, a corporal in the Royal Artillery, was left on the island with his wife and two soldiers. The people are self-governing and self-supporting. The men are daring sea-men and clever carpenters and masons; but there is a touch of the New and exclusive photo of Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, who appears to be gaining in popular Republican favor for the G.O.P.

The island will soon experience the joys of radio, for early in 1928 the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of France on its first African-American cruise will stop near this island enroute to Cape Town, when a powerful set and many others of American and Canadian vessels will be landed, safe for the use and comfort of the islanders.

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 cannonment.

Va. — The "Shoeless Wonders" football team of the Presbyterian Orphanage here, which last year attracted national attention by playing barefoot and defeating all other teams without their goal line crossed in a large recreational league are off again to win another championship. They have not once tasted defeat in four years. The 115-pound urchins last year accepted from municipal organizations new uniforms but scorned shoes. The scraggly tough little aggregation which has no substitutes began the 1926 season not only, without shoes but with an as- Dust and Dirt Never F While "Cellar" U.S.S.TEXAS The United States Navy is a tidy and up-to-date housekeeper. "Coal ship" is a call that once meant hours of strenuous labor for every gob aboard, with the craft's band vallantly tooting through a dust pall to rally the spirits of workers and musicians. The cry is not heard on the U. S. S. Texas, new flagship of the Atlantic fleet. She recently was made into an oil burner. Fuel comes aboard quickly, noiselessly and cleanly. The Texas shows the trend of fuel selection in the world's navies. "The Cunard Steamship Company's fuel oil bill is larger than that of the British Admiralty, in itself no small item," said C. U. Williams, president of the Williams Oil-O-Matic Heating Corporation, of Bloomington, Ill., world's largest makers of oil burners. "The world tonnage of vessels fitted for oil burning has increased, since 1913, from 1,300,000 tons to 18,200,000 tons. "The advantages of fuel oil are just as pronounced at sea as they are on land. Home oil burner users write us about the convenience, cleanliness sortment of equipment that was either screamingly funny or pitifully pathetic. At that, they said, there was enough to go around. The quarterback had a shoe which he used when he punched but the remainder of the team went conspicuously into every battle with their little white shiny feet dashing all over the field like a bunch of rabbits. Their coach says they can outrun a deer and one loose on a broken field there is no catching them. On the last deciding game the team outfitted the outfit which started the 1926 season shamefully and to the face of jeers against fully equipped teams had suddenly got mad, dug its toe into the turf and not relinquishing an abundance of territory surged through to the championship final. Not one team, it is said, far enough into the orphanage territory to make a second down. But now the little outfit is resplendent in its new uniforms of bright colors. But its well groomed appearance is strenuously denied by bare feet. CHICAGO, Ill.—Dr Wm. M. Scholl, noted foot orthopedist of Chicago was deeply interested in learning of the barefoot team. For years he has preached that healthy feet make strong bodies and that no one can afford to neglect his feet "because he never has any serious foot troubles," said Dr Scholl. "The exercise given their bare feet is the finest possible. r Fly Here "war" Is Being Filled A and ease of operation of their device. Ship owners are installing oil burners for the same reasons. The navies of the world increasingly are burning oil, just as our representatives at home and in many foreign countries also report steadily increasing demand for oil burners." THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA PETER HAMILTON WILKIN The arch of the foot is developed, a fast little step is the result and from what I learn it seems that the lack of shoes has enabled the team to work much faster than their heavily shoe opponents. If foot sufferers would only take a lesson from these little youngsters who have not the means to buy footwear, but do not let that restrict their sport, they would and a little cause to worry about their feet. Good legs and feet are essential to athletes. A strong foot keeps one always on balance, enables him to stop and start quickly. Rapid, turning and dodging are impossible with bad feet. The "Shoeless Wonders" can dart and swirl around their foot, caulking agility because their feet get stuck in a rational exercise. It is possible now to take a "Daily Dozen" for the feet which exercises every muscle and helps to make a strong healthy foot. I have found that healthy feet contribute more to a man's activity than perhaps any other bodily medium. With aching feet one cannot do his or her best. Let us take the example by these Lynchburg boys and look after our feet."
