RICHMOND PLANET SENSATION AT FIFTH ST. BAPT. CHURCH Rev. Dr. C.S. Morris Attacks Rev. Dr. G.W. Becton VOLUME XLV, NO. 6 SENSA Rev. Dr Noted Eva Mrs. Becto ..Rev. Charles S. Morris, D. D., the able and popular pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church delivered an able sermon to his flock last Sunday morning at 11:30 o'clock. A sensational conclusion created quite a stir, when he not only openly denounced Rev. G. W. Becton, who is conducting revival services at the Hood Temple A. M. E. Zion Church but charged him with certain offenses Rev. Dr. Morris is alleged to have charged Rev. G. W. Becton with some of the offenses specified in the first chapter of Romans, and hundreds of church-goers are examining that chapter to familiarize themselves with all that it contains. A peculiar situation was presented, for while Rev. Morris was condemning Rev. Becton, that divine was praising the Fifth Street Baptist Church in response to one of the converts expressing a desire to join the Fifth Street Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. Morris named one Methodist preacher in charge at Roanoke Va, and a Baptist divine in charge in E. Orange, N. J. as authorities for his allegations. The cause of this outburst seems to be as follows: Rev. Beacon's Gospel Feast Party conducted a very successful revival here, both financially and otherwise some time ago at the Fifth Street Baptist Church on the invitation of its pastor. Recently Rev. Dr. Morris arranged for a return engagement. In the meantime Rev. Beacon's wife came to the city and it is said that she held a hastily called meeting at the residence of one of Richmond's leading citizens. About 20 persons responded to the call. It is alleged that Mrs. Beacon requested that each person place a piece of jewelry on the table. She read a passage of the Scriptures before going out of the room, the jewelry being placed on the table during her absence. When she returned she picked up one piece of jewelry at a time and told of the condition of some dead relative of the person who owned the jewelry, stating that this relative was satisfied and had no desire to return to this earth. She offered to give information to any of the party in private. The charge was seventy-five cents for each person in the party. She is alleged to have offered to give private information at her stopping place, Dr. H. A. Allen's residence for $3.00 each. In a telephone conversation with the brilliant and influential Rev. Charles S. Morris, D. D., he stated that he did not desire to make any statement or to be further quoted as saying anything concerning his remarks on Sunday morning, Dec. 11, at the Fifth Street Baptist Church. The matter was then taken up with Rev. Dr. G. W. Becton and he was asked concerning the cause of the disagreement. He stated that Dr. Morris and myself had not had any disagreement or words and I did not see any reason for the attack except that he was evidently jealous of my success. Rev. Morris was jealous of the success he was having with his revival meetings at the Hood Memorial Temple, A. M. E. Zion Church, and was endeavoring to keep the people from attending them. Called There Later, we called at his residence here, 412 E. Clay street, and he said that Rev. Dr. Morris wrote him a letter some time ago saying that Rev. Youell had just completed revival services there and he desired him to come October 15, 1927, and conduct services for him. He advised him that he would not be able to come on that date, but would make arrangements to be in Richmond and conduct services for him later. In carrying out this engagement, he cancelled a date in Cincinnati and arranged to be in this city. In the meantime, he later received another letter from Clerk R. H. Fauntleroy, cancelling the engagement. The following is a copy of the letter: Richmond, Va., Nov. 5, 1927. Rev. G. Wilson Becton, 1218 Druid Hill, Baltimore, Md. My dear Brother Becton: Since our engagement of your services to conduct a series of meetings for us the latter part of this month, there have come to us certain rumors THE REV. JOHN A. MCKINNEY Rev. Dr. G. Wilson Becton, Conducting Revival Here. which have calculated to bring about much dissatisfaction among quite a few of our members relative to your coming to us. To be plain, it has been brought to our attention that there have been held in our city by Sister Becton, meetings of a spiritualistic nature at which certain fees were charged. As a Christian church of the Baptist faith, we do not subscribe to such teachings, nor those who proclaim such; we are strong in the belief that such doctrine will bring about much disruption of our flock; while we are endeavoring to bring them closer together. After a prayerful consideration by the pastor and deacons of our church, the clerk was instructed to write you advising that because of the reasons set forth in the beginning of this letter, we could not, as we had hoped, open our church for the services as had been arranged for Nov. 27, 1927. It is with much reluctance that we could but arrive at this conclusion. We pray that the Lord may ever bless you and yours, and that this world shall soon become the Kingdom of our God and His Christ. Yours in His great name, R. H. FAUNTLEROY, Clerk, Fifth St. Bapt. Church, RHF/MTW. Per W. extended to him to return about the Fifth Street Baptist Church following is a copy of the invitation Richmond, Va., Oct. 14, Rev. Dr. G. Wilson Becton, 1450 "Q" Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. My dear Dr. Becton: I understand that you will leave from your Washington engage Sunday. I am writing to ask could immediately take up work us for a month, beginning M October 17th? We are now having Rev. I Youell who will close with a night. He has just been with a week. I think this will be a time to come if you can make venient. If you can come, we immediately and I will proclaim advertise by Sunday. Hoping to hear from you a earliest convenience, and pray God may richly bless you in your souls and deepening the spirit of Christians, I am. Your brother in Christ, CHARLES S. MORR, Pastor Fifth St. Bapt. CSM/MTW. Denied Charges Rev. Dr. Becton denied vehement (Continued on page 2) No Reply to Letter Rev. Dr. Becton said that he sent no reply to this letter and was deeply buryed by it. His operating expenses were $1,000.00 per month as he had with him a highly trained gospel feast party and he stood to lose heavily. Meantime, he was in receipt of a letter from Rev. G. W. Gaines, D. W., pastor of Hood Memorial Temple, A. M. E. Zion Church, and he accepted this invitation. No Contract With Wife Rev. Dr. Morris' contract was with him and not with his wife. His wife is a prophetess and not a clairvoyant or fortune teller as had been represented. Since he had been here, he had not made other than kind references to Dr. Morris and his church. Rev. Morris stood for him and his wife when he conducted the four weeks' revival service in the Fifth Street Baptist Church and he and his wife were under his observation every night during that time and he went away with Dr. Morris' hearty approval as was shown by the invitation RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DEC. 17, 1927 extended to him to return again to the Fifth Street Baptist Church. The following is a copy of the invitation: My dear Dr. Becton: I understand that you will be free from your Washington engagement Sunday. I am writing to ask if you could immediately take up work with us for a month, beginning Monday, October 17th? We are now having Rev. Brother Youell who will close with Sunday night. He has just been with us one week. I think this will be a splendid time to come if you can make it convenient. If you can come, wire me immediately and I will proceed to advertise by Sunday. Hoping to hear from you at your earliest convenience, and praying that God may richly bless you in winning souls and deepening the spiritual life of Christians, I am, Your brother in Christ. CHARLES S. MORRIS, Pastor Fifth St. Bapt. Ch. CSM/MTW. Denied Charges Rev. Dr. Becton denied vehemently (Continued on page 2) You can have health with a mind that is at rest and the Mosque Theatre will put your mind at rest for it takes only 25 cents out of your pocket-book to accomplish it. Make your engagements with the girls. They'll love you all right by your taking them to the Mosque Theare's. It is about one dollar's worth of pleasure for twenty-five cents. A Goodyear Raincoat needs nothing but the name. You can be sutled there. Male and female are patronizing this place where money values are so attractive. The prices are "way down" and you will get the best kind of attention. Now is the time to get fitted and suited. You know where to go for service and so does Funeral Director A. D. Price. The present day funeral service can be made reasonable and the service all that it should be desired. Call up Madison 577 and you will be promptly accommodated. Great Crowds Hear Dr. Becton Rev. G. W. Becton, the noted evangelist, is in Richmond again with his popular orchestra. His madame is proving herself to be the "Queen of Song" and crowds are gathering nightly at the Hood Memorial Temple of the A. M. E. Zion Church at Adams and Clay streets. The very able pastor, Rev. G. W. Gaines, D. D. is on hand, too. The services began Sunday. December 4, and will continue until about the New Year. The services last Sunday morning were impressive. Several additions were made to the church. Instead of leaving the rostrum before the congregation, the divine arranges for every one to pass out in advance and then he advances down the aisle singing, concluding when he reaches about half way to the door. REV. DR. COBBS HONORED. Great Work in Fulton. Richmond paid a high tribute to the Mortgage Burning services at the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, Rev. C. A. Cobb, pastor beginning November 27, 1927 and ending December 5, 1927. It surpassed all previous events in that locality. It was the most remarkable event in the history, of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. More than $400.00 was realized as a result of these services. Every section of Richmond was represented and the popular pastor was the subject of congratulations on all sides. Absolute harmony prevailed. A high tribute was paid to the pastor and church for the great work accomplished. The outlook for the New Year was never brighter and indications are that the progress mapped out for next year will again surprise the city. Rev. Cobb's work here has been the subject of so much praise that special arrangements are being made to further honor him. The elder thanks those who so kindly cooperated with him in the work. REV. STEVENSON SURPRISED Ou. Thanksgiving Day Rev. and Mrs. Wm. H. Stevenson were happily surprised by the coming of a large number of their members to their home from Providence Baptist Church, Hanover Co., Va., with an unusual supply of foodstuffs, groceries, canned goods, meats and vegetables, to gladden the hearts of the pastor and family. Words fail us in expressing appreciation to all of the members and friends of Providence church for such a wonderful gift. Through twenty-five years of my pastorate with this church it has been most loyal to me in every way. Even this year and at this time my family and I are lost for words to express our heartfelt thanks for these expressions of their unbounded love. May His blessings come upon these members whose names are as follows: Sisters Rosa Lee Abrams, Ann Cash, Carrie Shelton, Mary Cash, Ella Hewlett, Patty Lawrence, Bessie Robinson, Rachael Winston. Buy your Christmas shoes at the Lawn town Shoe Store, S. E. corner 1st and Clay Sts. They have a beautiful line of footwear and at reasonable prices. Manager Walton is putting over the goods in a fine and up-to-date manner. Funeral Director or Bob Scott has been officiating in church rallies and he made just as good a success at as in church funerals. Living or dead, married or single, call and see him. If you cannot come yourself have some one bring you, even on a stretcher. Funeral Directors W. I. Johnson Sons have a full line of late style caskets. Those who desire to be accommodated in advance of death can secure bargains. Some white folkes are doing this and the Johnson "boys" are ready to do it. MARCUS GARVEY REACHES HOME.

NEBRASKA WILLIAMG HERE ON 4,000 MILE HIKE. Nebraska Williams, age 20 years, a resident of Shreveport, Louisiana called on us last Monday afternoon on his return hike from Boston, Mass. He had made the trip on foot from Shreveport to Boston in 84 days. It means a period of six months to do or walk 4,000 miles, for which he is to receive $1,000.00 from the Shreveport Times, a white journal. The money will be used to pay his tuition at the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor. He expects to take up the study of law. Mr. Williams stands 6 feet 2 inches and wears an apron with the inscription "From Shreveport, La. to Boston, Mass. Hiking in 90 days." He has with him a dog. It is an Alaskan bear dog. He secures写 ten certificates from some city official in each city he visits. He relates a singular experience had by him as he was on his way north through Lake Providence, Louisiana, when he was stopped by a mob, shot in the leg and put to work on the levee, from which camp he escaped, after being there three days. He left Boston October, 1927 and expects to arrive home in March 1928. Card of Thanks I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to all who so kindly remembered me during my long illness.

RUN BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE Phone Mad.27.93 Pantages road shows in the future will be presented at the Mosque. These shows, booked in act, have been obtained through special arrangement with the famous Pantages circuit, which routes many of the leading attractions in American popular arts, as portions from the European stage. Announcement to this effect was made yesterday by Harry Bernstein, general manager of the Mosque. The first of the Pantages road shows, featuring the original Empire Comedy Four and the Frances Haney Revue, will be presented at the Mosque Monday, continuing through Wednesday. The Frances Haney Revue is described as a spectacular production of melody and dancing, tinted with a touch of comedy. According to advance notice, this act has registered a decisive success in all the larger cities in which it has been presented this season. It is a new production, with a highly capable company of entertainers and specialty artists, including besides the personable Miss Haney, Helen Stewart, Joe Carson, Mack Curry and Manuelle Rose. The Empire Comedy Four is one of the ablest and best known quartets on the American stage, having been organized in 1894, playing continuously since that time. The Empire Comedy Four embraces admirable voices, and its numbers, the latest of New York's "melody lane," have been skilfully harmonized. The act is declared to be an invariable hit and for many years has enjoyed a national reputation. With such attractions as the Empire Comedy Four and the Frances Haney Revue, the bill is effectively headlined.

The fire occurred about 10:30 P.M. and gained headway rapidly. Futile efforts were made to save the child and the frantic father and brother received body burns. Elaine was eight years and six months old and had been reared by Mrs. Williams from infancy. Only a handful of bones and heart of the child were recovered. Elaine Mrs. Thomas Williams are staunch workers in the Second Liberty Baptist Church, at which the funeral services for the little victim were held. Rev. Miles Mark Fisher, the pastor, officiated.

STUDENTS CHANGING CLASSES AT GEORE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY - CORCORAN HALL. ```markdown ``` George A. Dorsey, scientist, has reached some striking reasons why the young girl sent away to college falls for the dude or dandy, the college shek of today. "Much of her fall may be attributed to more gravity to cause she was ready to fall." Dr. Dorsey admits but he gives a more novel solution of the problem in the December Cosmopolitan, as the result of his study. "They have grown up in the midst of taboos." Dorsey says. "They have been told that certain fruits are absolutely deadly — under no circumstances may they even look at them and they learn to drop their eyes in their presence. "It is different at school. They discover that the taboo is violated without loss of life. Boys whose characters would be regarded by the home folks as impossible are discovered to be acceptable members of college society. In consequence many a girl falls for what her father would stigmatize as a dude or a dandy; and he wrings his hands that his daughter ever should fall for such a specimen of humanity. The neighbors, too may wonder how she could do it. But she does. --- DEATHS REPORTED The following is a list of deaths of colored persons repersoned to the Rihecmond Bureau of Health from December 6 to December 13, 1927, with age and date of death: Louise Cook, 9 years; 602-A N. 5th St.; December 4.

She may have learned to love that particular king of voice when as a child she was danced at her uncle's knee." For Dr. Dorsey states positively that the choice of a mate becomes fairly restricted early in life, and is practically settled for the girl before she reaches the falling age. It is all due to an inconceivable number of factors, he explains, resulting from the varied experiences of early life and as difficult to trace as the cause of one's like and dislike of foods. "They fall in love," adds Dorset. "The love may be big or little, rich or poor, old or young; or a lock, a smile, a dimple, an ankle, a mouth, a chin, a forehead; virility or anemia, a wisp of hair, a hand-clasp, a light in the eye; a ring of the voice; someone to pet, nurse, protect, comfort or save; or opportunity—to go be do have, climb or escape; or a cross or a crown; or a meal-ticket, motor-car, a mansion, a yacht, or a cook, nurse, chauffeur housekeeper, clothes-horse, or a foll." 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, 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. His was done by a rough stone playing when still children. 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 ir 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.

Producing 43.23 pounds of butter in seven days and 159.56 pounds in thirty days this Holstein tops the world's three-year-old dairy animals. "While being prepared for her next freshening she ate 16 to 20 pounds daily of a mixture of 100 pounds each of cate, bran, hominy and inseed meal and four pounds each of charcoal and salt," said A. M. Ghormley, manager of the Washington farm where the record was made. "She also got as much alfalfa hay as she desired. This feed was lightened considerably before freshening. Afterward she went for some time on cates and bran, equal parts. When she began her 7-day test she was getting 8 pounds a day of her cates-bran-bromy-linseed meal ration. By the seventh day she was getting 11 pounds. She was carried 30 days on this ration, finally getting 16 pounds a day. She also ate 12 to 16 pounds of chopped beets, 25 to 30 pounds of alfalfa hay and 8 pounds of corn silage daily. "In her year's record as a 2-year old, she made 23,658 pounds of butter the first week and 22,645 pounds the fifty-first." Linseed meal's importance in the ration is traceable to its richness in protein and conditioning effect, which keeps stock thrifty and vigorous. For this reason it is often fed in preference to cheaper feeds, and when no succulent feed is available.

The Richmond Bureau of Health furnished us with the average age of decedents, white and colored, from 1872 to 1926. This covers 54 years. The average age of colored people in 1872 at death was 23 years. In 1926, a five year period, it was 34.7. This is to say that people now live on an average 11.7 years longer than they formerly did. Lengthening the life line is gratifying service and it is attributed to the efficiency of our Health Department. ROANOKE NEWS ITEMS Rev. M. M.

THE STRANGE CASE OF SHIRLEY WINNEGAN. Shirley Winnegan, sometimes called Willingham, of Smithfield, Isle of Wight County, Va. is to be electrocuted January 25 1928, if the sentence imposed in the Hustings Court of this city is carried out. The case has attracted much attention and no end of comment. The peculiar part of the whole affair is the attitude of many white citizens hereabouts, who go so far as to express doubt that Winnegan is the person guilty of criminally assaulting and murdering Miss Hilda Barlow in the neighborhood of his home town. Under the law, Shirley Winnegan is an inmate out on parole from the Central Hospital at Petersburg, to which he had been committed on account of a kind of insanity, which the commission which authorized his commitment says is incurable and of which every alienist interviewed even at his trial admitted that if he had that kind of insanity, it would last him from the "cradle to the grave". But the white men in Isle of Wight County, Va., who had employed him gave him an excellent reputation, both for the kind and nature of the work rendered by him, and went so far as to say that he outstripped in his performances any of the workmen employed by them. He was earning $3.00 per day and taking care of his wife and children. His wife is weak-minded. It was on account of his superiority along the lines indicated that the sheriff of the county was induced to permit him to remain in the neighborhood, although the sheriff stated that he should be in the asylum for fear that he might do injury to himself or to others. The killing of the young white girl in this horrible manner seems to have been the act of a mad-man. Winnegan protests his innocence and on the witness stand explained away every moment of his time from the hour he quit work October 14, 1927 until he was arrested and spirited away to prevent a mob from taking his life. It is but fair to say that the action of the angry white citizens in overthrowing the regular Democratic nominees in the county election because they carried out their oaths of office and prevented the lynching of Winnegan, has caused some bitterness against them not only in this section, but in other parts of the State. The colored people have no sympathy with a rapist or with a murderer and it is an interesting situation to note that there is absolutely no ill-feeling towards the colored people by the white people on account of this dastardly crime. The question, as one distinguished white jurist is quoted as saying, is a novel one. Can an inmate of a lunatic asylum, out on parole and legally irresponsible be tried, convicted and sentenced to the electric chair for a crime that he actually commits? This is the substance and purpose of the plea of estoppel made by that distinguished legal practitioner James G. Martin, of Norfolk, Va. In the face of this plea, the question of whether the prisoner did or did not commit the crime as alleged is not involved. Can a legally irresponsible lunatic be made a responsible person save by and through the same channel that adjudged him a lunatic? Can he be tried for a crime until the Central Hospital pronounces him sane and discharges him from custody and when so discharged can he be arrested, tried and convicted for an offense committed when he was legally insane, although at the time the crime was committed, he was sane? How can he be discharged from custody of an asylum as sane, when his commitment papers show that the ailment from which he was suffering, the kind of insanity with which he was afflicted, is incurable and will last the patient from the "cradle to the grave"? The lunacy commission decided August 6, 1927 that he was a victim of this kind of insanity. Within ten weeks, Winnegan, the lunatic is alleged to have brutally murdered a 14-year-old white girl. A lunacy commission called to pass on his case November 3-4, 1927 admitted that he acted crazy, but that he was shamming. He threw a fit, so to speak. This commission, composed of three of the most distinguished authorities on mental diseases declared that Winnegan was sane then and they believed that he was sane when Hilda Barlow was murdered. By what sure system of reasoning could they arrive at this conclusion? Dr. DeJarnett admitted that if Winnegan was ever crazy as specified in the commitment papers, he would be crazy to his grave. We failed to remark that the most damaging witness against Winnegan was a youngster of his own color, who said he saw Winnegan in the field near the body of the girl, but he did not see him either ravish or kill her. He thought the body was that of a colored girl. Winnegan had light-colored dirt on the knees of his overalls. Mr. Martin claimed that the dirt in the field was dark dirt. The prosecution countered with the statement that a light rain had fallen and this caused the earth to be dark. Mr. Martin claimed that the photograph showed that the earth was dark. Winnegan claimed that he was on his knees fixing a Ford car and this caused the dirt on the knees of his overalls. The prosecution countered with the statement that the road where he claimed to have fixed the car was hard surfaced and he could not have gotten the dirt on his overalls there. Then there was a claim that there was blood on his overalls, a few drops. Counsel for Winnegan claimed that no man could have committed the murder and not be bloody. He denied that the overalls showed blood. Winnegan explained that he ran his wheel-barrow against a fellow-workman and hurt his left hand slightly. He named the man. No part of the charges made against him remained unanswered. He gave the time and the names of the people, both white and colored. It was alleged though that much he said was not corroborated. This then is the gist of a "cause celebre", that is worrying the legal authorities in Virginia. If Winnegan is a lunatic, can he be legally tried? If sane and his commitment papers stamp him as a lunatic, legally, he is a lunatic. If legally he is a lunatic, how can he be legally executed, even though guilty of the crime? No power can eradicate the fact that when the crime was committed he was outside of the "pale of the law" and this may be why the Isle of Wight County mob was so anxious to lynch him. Selah.

The medication is absorbed through the skin and goes directly to the weak, sore, lame muscles, quieting the pain, relieving the irritated nerves and restoring the free use of the muscles. For quick relief—be sure to ask for the big Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. All druggists sell them. Colored folks are going to the L. F. M. Store (Welsbergers). The bargains there draw them. A good cleaning and pressing establishment, situated in a good location, can be leased very reasonably. A hustling person can make it a good paying proposition.

As it portrays in a very pointed way a very vital matter, a effecting all policyholders and insurance companies, we have decided to give further publicity to the matter with the hope that it will cause many present, as well as prospective policyholders to put a much higher value upon their in surance protection, and to hold their policies until maturity or death. THE PUBLIC generally does not realize what a great waste, both to policyholders and companies, lapsed policies are. Some think that it benefits a company to lapse a policy. Others have such little appreciation of the value of an insurance contract that they will join every new thing that comes along, regardless of its worth or value, and of course, drop the old policy. Still others try to get a policy in every company that will take them, even though they are not able to carry, in the proper way, more than one or two good policies.

ALASKA BUCHANAN AND ONE OF HIS BOYS ```markdown ``` This Week By Arthur Brisbane VALUE OF BREVITY. THE G. O. P. CONVENTION. COLDEST SPOT ON EARTH. MARRIAGE STILL BEST. President Coolidge, a man of few words, regrets that his message to Congress could not be shorter. Madame de Sevigne wrote to her daughter, "If I had had more time I should have written you a shorter letter." Considering the field covered the President's message will be found shorter than most men could have made it. His "I do not choose" proves ability to say much in few words. In Australia workers, unemployed, tried to force their way into the Treasury Building. The rioting was suppressed. Australia is severe in its immigration limitations, and rioting there by the unemployed reminds American workers that what a country NEEDS is population. A monument to Theodore Roosevelt will be erected above the Culinary Cut overlooking the Panama Canal. Roosevelt deserves the honor; the monument should be a fine one. All his interesting talk, advising women to have nineteen children, etc. will be forgotten. But the fact that put through the Panama Canal will NOT be forgotten. In that he undered his country great service. Old age is the night of life. "Work, for the night is coming when man's work is done," says the old hymn. For those that have not saved, age is a dreary night. San Francisco is expected to get the Republican convention next year, with twenty-three national committeemen now pledged. That is the important Republican. Many important Republicans need to visit San Francisco learn something about the United States on the way, and something about national development after they get there. Buchanan and TOTEM POLES, ALERT BAY A middle-aged Scotch bachelor George E. Buchanan, who went to Detroit from Canada poor, and who has since become prosperous, is trying to pass along to the rising generation a few business and thrift principles which he used to make his money in Detroit. Mr. Buchanan visited Europe when Mr. Buchanan had been awarded with the national advantages of such a trip that when he got on "Easy Street" he started to encourage young boys to earn enough money to go to Alaska, one-third ($125.00) earned by selling coal, coal baskets or another legitimate in their home town, you get Detroit or any other town in the United States or Canada. --- 亦 Chicago has found in Detroit a blonde hair, and positively arranged yesterday to show a Lady Godiva at last night's Arts Ball. Rosalind Hightower, who will be Lady Godiva, without horse, rode to Chicago from Detroit in an airplane, and will pose in a picture frame, hair and all. She sees nothing immodest in a beautiful lady dressed only in her hair, and says: "To me a short fat woman in an abbreviated skirt is vulgar; the human body is a thing of beauty." Berlin scientists have created the coldest spot on earth, producing in laboratory experiments a temperature 459 degrees below zero. Outside our atmosphere, in mysterious spaces separating solar systems from each other, there exists "absolute zero." On our Fahrenheit thermometer that would be 461 degrees below zero, space without heat. At such a temperature the properties of matter change. Metals lose resistance to electricity and become supra-conductors. A thin thread of mercury will carry enough electricity to light several hundred lamps. Helium, the gas used in our dirigibles, becomes liquid a few degrees above absolute zero. In that terrible cold molecules in matter lose their motion, which may account for their greater electric conductivity. First abstract science, then useful appreciation. Practical men may find a way to create in metals, apart from any absolute zero temperature, conditions similar to those that absolute zero creates. That would make possible transportation of electric current without cost or loss, and solve the problem of cheap power. Mr. Haldeman-Julius, of Kansas, whose daughter is just trying a "companionate marriage" experiment, tells the world that his daughter was born six years before he. Haldeman-Julius, her father, was married. He didn't have money to set up housekeeping, but the dear little girl was born anyhow. That is interesting, not unusual. Leonardo da Vinci, second in greatness among all artists, was born outside of marriage, his father and mother never married. He supported his "legitimate," respectable high born half brothers and sisters. William the Younger was born before his mother married the interesting girl whom he first saw washing clothes in a brook as he rode past with his warriors. But all that doesn't change the fact that marriage is better than lack of marriage. Marriage will not go out of fashion. It will persist until men become weary of an institution as present too good for many of them. His Boys Plan Another BUCHANAN AND HIS BOYS parents; and one-third advanced to the boy by Buchanan himself, to be returned without interest when the boy was able to do so. And any boy may learn how to do the trick. In 1928 the boys leave with Buchanan the last week in June and travel first class. Some people play polo, golf and tennis, or ride to the hounds; Buchanan, having no boys of his own, is fond of them individually and in the mass, and his hobby is showing them how to make and save a dollar and how to see the wonders of Alaska. Buchanan takes each time to see that they are well cared for and that they have the time of their lives. Boys from 11 to 19 are taken, but he prefers the younger ones, and thus --- THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M.D. Condiments. Most people use spices and sauces of varying potency, not because such things possess any nutrient value, but to compel the stomach to tolerate an over-feed. The normal, healthy human being does not need an appetizer; his desire for food is exactly adjusted to his need of nourishment, and any interference with it by its erratic host will, in time, bring punishment in the way of indigestion. Fully as many people abuse condiments in excesses as poison themselves by tobacco or alcoholic stimulants. Just like difference of time in action is all the difference; it takes the spice brigade a bit longer to kill or disable its victims. Visit a popular cafe, and watch the "tubby" men blackening big juicy steaks with pepper, or soaking them with highly concentrated solutions, to force their great, sagging stomachs to combat the extra burden! They are only fanning a slowly-waning vital flame—the fire that has been tirelessly overfed. Most condiments act by immediate irritation, the contact with the surface exposed. Put some salt in your eye; some mustard; some pepper, or any compound containing it; besides the salt, you can secretion—does it with violence sufficient to disable the optic temporarily. Only a fool would put red pepper in the eye, but they do not hesitate to drop the coals into the stomach: the effect is the same. The physician employs condiments as medicine, and wisely. He wishes to restore the debilitated organs by gentle stimulation; a besotted stomach may be improved by moderate stimulation, but is made weaker by the repetition of bigger and stronger doses of the stimulus. Our actual use of condiments is, perhaps, ten times in excess; a wise plan would be to reduce both food and condiment systematically. Next Week: Life Expectancy her Alaska Tour BUCHANAN AND ONE OF HIS BOYS far 217 boys have earned their third and enjoyed the Alaska trip. "Any good boy who will do his part may go," Mr. Buchanan declares. No security is taken for the $125.00 advanced except honor, and when the money is returned later on it is used to send another boy to Alaska. The boys leave for Vancouver via Michigan Central, "Soo" Line and Canadian Pacific, see the scenic wonders of Banff and the Canadian Rockies, the big trees at Vancouver and the beauties of the inland passage "Princess" steamer by Vancouver to Skagway. At Skagway, by train they go to Horseshoe Cross and Allin, join for gold and see the glaciers and a thousand and one additional attractions on the way to and from Alaska. --- Miss Marie Healy NEW HAMPSHIRE Wilbur M.

FOO Corns Cause Nose Specialist in Foot Orthapedia. Many persons have a natural reluctance to mention corns, and hesitate to seek remedies until they become painful. With a better knowledge in foot hygiene this feeling will disappear. The only thing to be assumed of in the case of corns is usually the neglect of one's feet that has caused them. If searing with corns it is well to know that there are several varieties of corns such as hard and soft corns, surgarde corns and nervo-vascular corns. One of the most common is the hard corn. It is produced by the constant pressure and friction of a tight or small shoe or a loose and ill-nitting shoe against the projection point of some prominent oony surface as on the last joint of the third fourth and little toe. It is formed by friction rather than by pressure of the skin is kept in a place of pain is experienced. Rest decreases the inflammation leaving induration or a thickening of the skin behind. Renewed friction reproduces these results, leaving behind a second or accumulated degree of induration. The continued action and reaction bring on a collisity rising above the surface of the skin. Once formed, pressure alone will suffice to sustain it. The hard corn is a small, conical-shaped, deep-sealed horny formation usually found about the toes. The apex of this formation pressing down upon the cartilage of the skin. Very frequently extraordinary frietion is produced against the toe where the foot is crowded or forced into the toe of the shoe, due to a weakened arch. This can be relieved by fitting a surgical plate or arch support individually to the foot, that will hold up the arch and draw the foot back Libon Micheletti Ted H.Roy TEXAS OREGON Foundation, will seek December 11 the Foundation's gifts of $17,500 in cash and musical scholarships.

It is impossible to hope to rid your shoes of corn if it causes in wearing shoes that cause them. Narrow-toe, crimping shoes that crowd the forefoot, the foot, pressing against the toes, are a frequent cause of corn. The weakening and breaking down of the metatarsal arch in the forepart of the foot causing the foot to spread and thus rub against the sides of the shoe will cause corn.

KS d Friction should be corrected. Then the friction and pressure which have caused the corn should be removed. As a preventive measure to remove pressure from the conical-shaped growth, pads made from layers of oxide of sine plaster, cut to the necessary oval shape with a heavier outside shoulder for protection will relieve the friction. Such pads are widely sold. Next, the shoes should be properly fitted. By relieving the pressure and maintaining the body warmth the skin secrections are promoted consequently causing the horny callous growth to separate from the healthy tissue. --- Audition S Harpe Bromarzyk ILLINOIS BEN P.

All the members are asked to come on time Sunday, at 3:30. The communion service is the last one of the year. (Continued from page 1) the charges that had been launched against him by Rev. Dr. Morris. He had never been under arrest in Xenia, Ohio, and had been mistaken for another evangelist named McDuffie. He made the offer to Dr. Morris to pay his expenses to Xenia to investigate the matter himself. He further stated. "My wife is not a spiritualist as spiritualism is generally understood in hoodoism, but a prophetess according to the Scriptures which may be found in II Kings 22:8 through the 14th verses; I Samuel, 9th chapter, 7.8, 9.19 and 20 verses." Visited Dr. Morris On Monday morning and after repeated telephone calls from persons who were members of Rev. Dr. Morris' church and who heard him make his statements concerning me on Sunday morning. I went to his office in person to ascertain from his own lips, whether or not he had made such statements.

I stood up until his secretary had pity on me and offered me a seat. When he finally gave me a hearing I stated to him what he brought to my years and told him as a Christian it is my duty to come to him in person and see if he had been quoted correctly. With some spirit, he said he was under no obligation to tell me what he had said from his pulpit. After stating to him how unkind I felt he had treated me, without a cause, I requested that he join me in prayer. He did so and I left him without having any satisfaction accorded to me.
