THE RICHMOND PLANET Rev. Dr. Morris Replies to Evangelist G. W. Becton gives Many Reasons For His Condemnation. ENOUNCES THE MADAM AS WITCH! In Communication With the Evil Spirits enies Desire to Harm Noted Evangelist--Charges Him With Upholding His Own Wife---A Peculiar Situation Presented---Much Money Spent. ME XLV, NO. 9 Rev. D ives DENO THE M In C Denies De Own W or Richmond Plane: I have no desire to enter into a prosperity with Mr. Becon. I am jealous of him. I do not wish any harm. There are so many he going to hell all around and new people who seem to care her men are lost or saved, I to be the last man that would to injure or impede the pro- speration of a true evangelist, honestly to save souls. And if Mr. en and his wife would give selves wholly to this, I would only open my Church to them, do all I could, as I ought to do true Minister of Jesus Christ, assist them. I honestly did this to the time when I fully found our and realized the awful to poor, ignorant, unsuspect- souls from their dark practices. OVERLOOKED MUCH. Mr. Becton dressed in a foppish coat. I did not think became a clister. I overlooked that. His dressed aptly inappropriate or revival services among poor, poorest. Christian people—but I overlooked that. His Gospel Feast Party while they were holding revival at my Church, went up to Johnson's all to a dance—that was hardly consistent, but I reasoned Mr. Becton is not responsible for the young people, and I overlooked that. Mr. Becton did not preach more than a half dozen sermons to sinners while he spared the month at my Church—overlooked that. He left mourners at the bench night after night and Sunday morning that I had brought up from the Sunday School with no word said to them about how to find the Saviour—I overlooked that. He charged us for the railroad fare of its company from Washington to elcham to wherever they lived. In some cases they did not so there, and he knew they were not going there when he made the disonest charge—I overlooked that. PAID MUCH MONEY We paid his board, laundry, clothes cleaning and pressing bill. railroad are amounting to some four hundred dollars and gave him sixteen hundred dollars for himself and his group—making about two thousand dollars in all from a poor church, struggling with a tremendous debt of nearly one hundred thousand dollars. I. myself gave him a ten dollar gold piece—He said the Lord old him to demand of the people three dollars apiece,-although I don't believe the Lord told him anything of the kind. for the Lord's Word says: "As God has prospered"—I overlooked all that. I was not looking for perfection for Mr. Becton. But when his wife, is I afterward learned, during the revival carried on seances, acted as a medium or witch or necromancer dealer with the dead) and had poor people coming to her rooms at $3 per head to do something so wicked soul and forbidden by God that it is said. A witch, one who puts you in contact with the dead, must be put to death. And when I found thatirs. Becton had carried on his stuff at the Elks' Convention, did it during all the revival; came here after the revival and held a seance, worst of all. when I found that'r husband instead of utterly reulating it and doing all he could dissuade her from it'. knew of it, proved of it, defended her in it, resting on the Scriptures and handling them deseciptely to do so. I was finally reluctantly driven to the conclusion that he was as bad as she, and that both of them were dangerous for my Church to have any connection with whatsoever. I WARNED HIS PEOPLE. I stated this to my own people, as I had a right and a duty to do and warned them that Mr. Becton was dangerous. Now, this is exactly what the Bible particularly warns us of a characteristic of the last days. Listen to the Apostle Paul's warning to the Churches through his young minister, Timothy. I Timothy 4:1,2: "Now the Spirit (that is the Holy Spirit) speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall DEPART FROM THE FAITH, giving heed *o* SEDUCING SPIRITS AND THE DOCTRINE OF DEVILS. Speaking lies in hypocracy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron". They cannot go 'into this awful commerce with demons until they have left or departed from the true religion of Jesus Christ. God does not deal with those that deal with the devil. This is what Mrs. Becton has done—in holding these seances—in dealing or pretending to deal with the spirits of the dead. She is a medium, a witch a necromancer, and she has departed from the faith and for Mr. Becton 'o support her and treacherously use Scripture to try to defend her makes him a party 'o her sin and equally guilty with her for the Bible says, I John 1:11: "He that biddeth him God speed is a partaker of his evil deeds". A DISTINCTION WITH A DIFFERENCE. But this is not all. Mr. Becton handles the Scriptures deceitfully. He says his wife is a prophetess and quotes II Kings 22:18, or a seer. She is nothing but a common medium selling her soul to the devil, deluding poor foolish people who have no more religion and no better sense than to pay her $3.00 per head. She does not put them in touch with the dead, but with demons or devils or familiar spirits. As for her fortune telling it is exactly on a par with the demon-possessed girl that Paul and Silas met on their first visit to Philippi. Acts 16:16. "And it came to pass as we went to prayer a certain damself possessed with a spirit of divination. (a demon or evil spirit) met us which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying, the same followed Paul and us and cried****. This she did many days. But Paul being grieved turned and said to the spirit. 'I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.' (This shows it was of the devil) And he came out the same hour. And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew 'them unto the market place unto the rulers'. Paul was beaten for interfering with the demon-possessed fortune teller. RESPONSIBLE FOR DR. BECTON COMING TO RICHMOND It is no pleasure to me to be involved in a controversy with a brother who I have trusted defended, vouchered for; but as I am responsible for introducing him to Rich RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, JAN. 7, 1928 mond I am also in some measure responsible for any harm he and his wife may do by teachings utterly contrary to the Word of God and calculated to ensnare ignorant and unsuspecting souls for the Bible warns-II Timothy 4:3. "For the time will come when they will not endure doctrine but after BIG EMANCIPATION PROGRAM HELD HERE "Some Nails Fastened in Sure Places On Which To Hang the Glory of A Race", was the subject of a great Emancipation Day ovation delivered by Rev. Dr. L. M. Pleasant of Johnstown, Pa., at Leigh Street Memorial M. E. Church last Sunday night. A packed house witnessed the exercises, which were planned by Rev. R. M. Williams, energetic pastor of the church. Lawyer J. R. Pollard presided and Lawyer W. F. Denny read the Emancipation Proclamation. Music was furnished by the Hardy Broth ers Orchestra and the Choir of the Church. Miss Irma Adams singing a beautiful solo. The offering was in charge of E. F. Johnson and R. C. Mitchell. Mr. C. V. Kelly of the St. Luke Herald made a splendid address per taining to the civil status of the Negroes of Richmond. The principal address was by Dr. Pleasants. It was all that a perfect oration should be. Dr. Pleasants is conducting revival services at Leigh St. Memorial M. E. Church and is quite a favorite here now. Mrs. Gertrude Hatcher, of Roanoke was in Richmond last week the guest of Mrs. Cora Valentine. She accompanied Avis, her accomplished daughter, who was enroute to Kittrell College, after spending the Yuleide with her parents in Roanoke. Miss Avis had as her guest in Roanoke for the Christmas, Miss Rebecca T. Mitchell and Mr. Peter Woolfolk, students at Armstrong High School, Richmond. Prof. Henry Howard Summers Receives His Master's Degree. At the convention of Ohio State University held December 21, 1927, Professor Henry Howard Summers received his master's degree. Professor Summers graduated from Howard University in 1910, from Oberlin Graduate School of Theology in 1913 and in 1923 he completed his law course through the American Course in Chicago. Since 1922 he has been teaching at Wilberforce University. He has an enviable reputation as an instructor and the work he has accomplished in the various institutions he attended indicates that he is a diligent student and a man of no mean attainments. Lawyer George Blackwell returned to his home in Chicago last Sunday after spending the Holidays here and in Petersburg, visiting relatives and friends. SALLY PAGE LAID TO REST. Sally Page, who had spent a lifetime in the employ of Mr. Burnett Lewis' family died at the residence of daughter. Anna Brown, 507 N. Fifth St. after a protracted illness. Mrs. Anna P. Brown, wife of Mr. William E. Brown, is her daughter. Her other daughter, Mrs. Fannie Smith is a resident of Washington. Mrs. Lucy Cross is sister of the deceased and Mr. Tom Page her brother. The funeral services took place Thursday 2 P. M. at the First Baptist Church. The Scriptures were read and prayer offered by Rev. A. S. Thomas, D. D A solo "Asleep in Jesus" was sung by Mrs. Norma Haskins, after the choir had pathetically sung, "Sister thou was mild and lovely". Resolutions were sent up. Then Rev. Dr. Johnson called on Mr. Burnett Lewis the well known merchant, in whose family she had lived during a lifetime. He said: "I am averse to speaking in public, but I now only wish that this was a broadcasting station. She was a bright and shining light, faithful and true. Nowhere will she be missed as she will be by my family, with whom she has lived so long. I am expressing the feelings of my seven children with whom she has lived as they grew up to manhood and womanhood". Continuing in this strain, he briefly related how she had performed her duties so well and was also appreciated by the neighbors. Then Rev. Dr. Johnson delivered a most appropriate eulogy. Funeral Director W. I. Johnson handled the remains and shortly afterward the mournful cortege was on the way to the last resting place. A TRIBUTE TO SALLY PAGE. The family of Burnet Lewis is much distressed. For Sally Page, the family's faithful old mammy, is dead. She died Tuesday, and will be buried today (Thursday) from the First African Baptist Church down on Broad Street, of which she was a member for many years. Sally had been in the Lewis family since the birth of all the children, and her gentle hand helped keep those youngsters in line. Mr. Lewis said yesterday his home flock looked upon old Sally as one of the fixures of their home. She moved around, anticipating the wants of each member of the household, and she endeared herself to them mightily. She was a faithful nurse, one of the last of the rapidly disappearing old servants of the antebellum period. She left the Lewis' on December 17 and retired to the home of her daughter out on Fifth Street, where she passed away in full age and beloved by all those with whom she had been associated all her life. —By Harry Tucker in The Times Dispatch, 1-5-29 Miss Helen C.

RUN BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE Phone Mad. 2793 What is proclaimed as Reginald Denny's "latest and greatest production, a thrilling story of the prize ring entitled "On Your Toe" will be featured with Ray Teal and his "Merry Musikers" on the elaborate program arranged for next week at the new Mosque, Laurel and Main streets. A number of New York entertainers have been booked to assist Mr. Teal and his happy "gang" of syndicated melodists, comedians, dancers and novelty specialists. In deference to the dedication exercises, which will be held at the Mosque tomorrow, the customary matinee has been cancelled. The regular program will be presented at 7 o'clock and will continue on schedule through the remainder of the week. Preparations for the dedication exercises also have caused postponement of the sacred concerts Sunday. The free concerts will be resumed next Sunday, a number of well known Richmond musicians having accepted the invitation to appear in sacred and classic selections. The newest vehicle of Ray Teal and his gay company has been labeled "Broadway Nights", and will be invested with the atmosphere of the smarter Broadway theatres and night clubs. "Broadway Nights" will be of distinctly metropolitan pattern and the genial Teal has prepared a program of the latest song numbers for its musical setting. The production will be handsomely staged. The versatility of Mr. Teal in his personal performance has been the subject of congregatory comment; he the press and his ingenuity in preparing unique and novel entertainment already has gained him a wide following among the theatregoers of Richmond. "Broadway Nights", according to the management is expected to prove the most effective and delightfully enjoyable offering yet given under his direction. The "band revue" policy, recently introduced at the Mosque for the first time in the South, registered instantaneous favor in Richmond and has been welcomed as one of the most desirable forms of entertainment ever given in this city, repeating here the success the policy has encountered in all the principal theatrical centers. Exciting adventure and colorful romance are skillfully blended in, "On Your Toes", which finds its climax in a thrilling prize fight which in the taking of the picture, proved $ \mathbf{v}_{0} $ genuine that it was necessary for both participants to lay off and halt the filming two days. Before attaining stardom on the screen, Reginald Denny was for a time a professional boxer and cleverness in the ring, augmenting his ability as an actor.

Raw Fur Industry in $100,000,000 Class JEWELER FUR CATCH IN NORTHWEST One of the oldest industries known to man is now enjoying its most prosperous season. The production of North American "raw furs" will pay to farmers more than one hundred million dollars this season. Fur—one of the most important commercial articles throughout the history of man—now occupies one of the most important and intensely interesting markets in the world of commerce, according to Don L. Cmo, President of the Shubert Fur Co. Chicago, who told a meeting of dealers recently some of the history of the fur business. "Furs have always had an intrinsic value," said Mr. Omo. "They were used for clothing many centuries before Christ. They are still necessary as protective clothing for northern peoples and for those in constant contact with severe winter elements. Though they are used as a luxurious means of dress by women, because of their extreme beauty, Dame Fashion so favors fur today that Milady's outfit is made of furs, lined coats, fur lined gloves and shoes for trimmed gowns, and hats made from the bunnies' skins.

Fur skins have ever played an important value in the trading game. Furs have caused carts, led to the explorations of new land and changed the maps of nations, but their commercial values persist. "The varied fluctuations of the fur market have been caused by some of them thrilling tales ever lived by troopers—plainsmen, farmers. The raw-fur dealer is in the greatest speculative game in the world. Still it continues and annually flourishes. "We are now in the greatest season furriers have ever experienced. High prices are being paid for every kind of skin which is sent in and all grades are being accepted. The demand of manufacturers for raw fur was never so universal. They are marketing clothing and trimming in which they can use every sort of skin. Women are awake to the fact that United States furs are prettier and more durable. The demand for fur coats and fur trimmed clothing seems to be equal to the manufacturer's supply. Even the thousands of fashions now being worn are made of some grades of rabbit fur. Yes, trading is the country's oldest industry—but it still grows bigger and better.

How much better a man feels when his weight is normal. He nearly always has plenty of energy; sedum gets tired and always looks like a real honest to goodness man. There was an exceedingly thin man in Atlantic City—he was all in, run down and needed a lot of flesh. He took McCoy's Tablets and within two months wrote that he had gained 28 pounds and felt like a new man. If you are underweight McCoy offer ought to interest you. McCoy takes all the risk—Read this invaded guarantee. If after taking 4 sixteen-cent boxes of McCoy's Tablets or 2 One Dollar boxes you thin, underweight man or woman doesn't gain at least 5 pounds and complains with the marked movement in health—your druggist is authorized to return the purchase price.

When the United States Marines killed a hundred or more natives in Nicaragua under the name of bandits, nothing was said. When five American marines were reported killing the country is being aroused and hundreds of thousands of dollars are about to be expended in a punitive expedition. If there were no chance of a waterway canal across the isthmus in this country, there would be no American Marines down there. It is reported that Marcus Garvey was received in royal style by his countrymen in Kingston, Jamaica. West Indies Islands Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris deposes his unalterable hostility to fortune telling, clairvoyancy and the like, basing his opposition upon the teachings of the Scriptures. He does not deny that persons on this earth known as mediums, can put a person now living, in communication with the spirits. His position, however is that those spirits are evil ones agents of the devil. The subject is interesting in view of the fact that there are other poe ple, who believe that this species of witchcraft is constituted in a species of deceptions and that there is no real communication with the spiritual world through a person in the flesh. THAT BABY YOUUV'E LONGED FOR. THAT BABY YOUUV'E LONGED FOR. Mrs. Burton Advise Women on Motherhood and Companionship. For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," written Mrs. Margaret Burton of Kansas City. "I was terribly nervous and subject to periods of terrible suffering and melancholia. Now I am the proud mother of a beautiful daughter and a companion and inspiration to my husband. I believe hundreds of other women would like to know the secret of my happiness, and I will gladly reveal it to any married woman who is entirely without courage nothing to sell. Let her be addressed to Mrs. Margaret Burton, 267 Massachusetts, Kansas City. Mo. Correspondence will be strictly confidential. (Continued from Page 1) their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers having Fishing ears and they shall turn their ears away from the truth and shall be turned to fables". If Timothy 3:5. "Having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof, from such turn away. 6. For of his sort are they which creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins led away by divers lusts". ONLY ONE THING TO DO. There is only one thing for Mr. Beeton to do—that is to stop his wife from this awful practice. Quit defending her repent before God, and go back to living and preaching the Gospel to save souls and not try wring thousands of dollars out of poor people to spend dressing himself and his wife up in fine clothes. Then God will bless him and he will no leave souls at the altar night after night—souls seeking the Lord, while he spends his time and energy telling a thousand people the Lord told him to ask them all to give him $3.00 per head. I say again. I have no ill will toward either Mr. or Mrs. Becton, but God says with reference to a Minister or 'the Gospel: "I have set you as a watchman on the wall. If you see the sword come and blow not the trumpet the people shall die in their alms but their blood will I require of the watchman's hand". If a woman holding spiritualistic seances for the devil and then coming over to the Church and holding or pretending to hold revival services for Jesus Christ is not a sword coming again's the Church then I do not know what danger to the Church is. And when her husband justifies her in it, defends her in it. uses and corrupts the Scriptures by calling a medium a prophetess, he is as bad as she is and both are dangerous to the Christian Church.

THE KING'S PRAYER BOOK. California and the whole country are shocked by a dreadful kidnapping and murder in Los Angeles. The unhappy father, obeying the orders of the kidnapper, handed him $1,500 in gold certificates, and in return received part of the body of his twelve-year-old daughter, dreadfully mutilated. The worst of crimes is kidnapping, since it inflicts upon fathers and mothers torments most horrible. That crime should be punished with umimot severity, and when guilt is certain with no delay. Dr. William J. Mayo, one of the famous brothers, says science learns more about diseases from the microscope than in any other way. Man's brain is a "visual organ," and must see, to know. The introduction of the microscope by the Janeses, late in the sixteenth century, has done more to advance learning than any other agent, says Dr. Mayo. Real learning owes more to Galileo's introduction of the telescope, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, than to the microscope. Seeing the germs that cause disease is important, but less so than seeing distant suns and nebulae. Perhaps, as the great German scientist Haeckel suggested, men of the future will train one eye for telescope, the other for microscopic work, the two eyes combined dealing with the real world about us. Earthquake in Burmah frightened inhabitants. A loud roar, lasting ten seconds, accompanied the shaking. Gautamas, finest temple at Rangoon, was badly damaged, but that will not shake faith in Buddhism. That is the convenient thing aboutagan religions.

Nothing is ever wrong with it; pagan god, supposed to control earthquakes, or at least protect his own temples. Even fundamentalist Christian churches put lightning rods on their steeples, which seems strange. Judge Hardy of the Superior Court in San Francisco says crime could be abolished if mothers would teach their children, in preschool days, obedience, truthfulness, honesty and the Golden Rule. That is just what mothers have been teaching their children for 500,000 years, according to the light of their period, and they have achieved wonders already. Intelligent Mr. Tex Rickard says Jack Dempsey will fight Mr. Tunney again next summer. Certainly, and each of many following Summers until death do them part, if the crop of $40 a seat simptons lasts. A cruel government plans to tax each $40 seat $10, but that can be made up by speculators' prices. Mr. Rickard's good fortune is due partly to the fact that men dull enough to enjoy prize fights are too dull to know when they are being "faked." It is believed, in the West, that the Tri-State Colorado River Commission, representing California, Arizona and Nevada, will reach an agreement to start work on the Boulder Dam project. Whatever helps one State helps the whole country. Arizona will gain by allowing California to use water and power now going to waste. The British House of Lords has approved the new and changed readings in the Church of England prayer book, but it has been disapproved by House of Commons. King George is interested because his oath requires him to stick to that book. Some low church Britishers complain that the new book is not as strictly "Protestant" as the last. The opinion of the only authority that really counts can unfortunately not be obtained. Diplomatic circles in Pekin are shocked by a shipment from Turkey to Pekin's "Anti-Opium" monopoly. Nearly $2,000 pounds of Turkish opium. That reminds you of your own alcohol proposition, in spots. One New York cabaret keeper, asked if prohibition agents bothered him, replied, "Yes, I had to give one e.g. them $200 just an hour ago."

THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know By John Joseph Gaines, M. D. Winter Warnings At this season of the year, foods improperly stored, vegetables left in corners of cellars, open milk containers and such like, may become disease carriers unsuspected. In warm weather decomposition of animal or vegetable foods liberates a warning odor or appearance or flavor, before much harm is done; in winter it is different; stale vegetables, "specked" fruits, from stores, and other impurities do not make their imperfections known so quickly. It behooves our citizens and housekeepers to look well to the sanitation of homes, from every angle, and to enforce the strictest cleanliness of premises occupied, as well as of foods and water consumed. Cold weather is preservative to many of the most dangerous bacteria; it is not known just how long typhoid and para-typhoid germs will live and remain virulent in cold, but it is a long time. Once within the human system, they develop rapidly into the very serious, winter-fime diseases named for them. It is of the utmost importance that your ice-box be watched; it is not always sanitary because you notice no impure odor from the jar of cream that spilled, last week, and left a greasy smear on two or three of the cream dress; it looks and tastes as fresh as it did then—but some of the whipped cream or minced ham overflowed into it in some way—you may have a pretty fair culture of mixed bacteria that live at low temperatures. We should be more careful in winter than in summer, to travel pure food and water. Inspections of city water should be doubled by the most vigilant, capable of sichia. Dairymen who peddle milk in bottles—you have a right to demand cleanliness. Winter epilimnites are among the most fatal known. Be vigilant and save trouble.

Quebec Winter Sports and Dog Derby Full of Thrills PADDY NOLAN AND TEAM CHATEAU FRONTENAC AND HEIGHTS miles and the race is held irrespective of weather. Quebec is a colorful and romantic city and the quaint narrow streets are most delightful in winter when the picturequeen buildings emerge from huge dries of snow. Many of the carts and wagons are brilliant reds, yellows or blues, and houses are often equally gay. Bob-sliding on the old city walls is one of the somatic sports, and skiing over the Flats of Abraham where memorable battles were fought is another. Then tea and Costumes Leave Changed Customs and Co THE LADY OF THE MIDDLE-STREET in the presence of men, her fundamental nature has not changed. "Under the surface the successful business woman of 1927 is as soft-hearted and gentle and sympathetic as her stay-at-home ancestress of, say, the feminine fifties. True, she isn't afraid to get up in a meeting of her masculine contemporaries and tell them exactly what she thinks. But she continues to pick up her petticoats and race for the nearest chair when a mouse approaches. Just as she dresses differently from her grandmother so does she 'emote' in other ways. ST LOUIS GATE, QUEBEC Every dog has his day is an apt saying and if there is any place in the state where dogs have their day, it is in the old fortified town of Quebec. These husky dogs have not only their day, but days, and the monopoly these creatures establish in conversation, press columns and time devoted to viewing them for hours while in the races at Quebec, is quite remarkable. Their day has most great comma in the speech, and the dog derby, even England, are now the vogue. The Quebec Dog Dog derby is one of the outstanding events of the winter season in February. The Eastern International Dog Sled Derby was started in 1921, and since then has been an annual event. Its aims are to stimulate winter sports in the northeast region and to improve the qualities of the team dog. Any individual or association in Canada or the United States is eligible to enter a team not exceeding 7 dogs. The distance run is approximately WAY BACK WHEN DETROIT, MICH.—Business has not robbed the modern woman of any of her so-called femininity, according to Edith Mae Cummings, the $65 a month "Hello girl" who has risen in four years to the presidency of her million dollar real estate firm. "The up-to-date woman executive is no harder or less feminine than her great-grandmother," said Mrs. Cummings in an address before the Edith Mae Cummings School of Business Science for Women here. "While her handclasp may be a trifle firm and she may lift instead of drop her eyes ```markdown ``` GEORGE CHEVRETTE AND DOGS stumes Leave Woman Uncha A UP TO THE MODERN MINUTE --- --- the triple-track toobogan slide is one of the fastest in the world. During the winter sports' season the Château Frontenac is the center of all galaxy, everything radiating from there. It is a tiny village within itself where the inhabitants are on pleasure bent, and those who seek will find keen enjoyment in the winter sports and festivities. Quebec with its old world atmosphere, its buildings of antiquity and its leisurely ways will have one, after a first time, and time again. Woman Unchanged To be successful—especially in business—women are learning they must forget their sex. Careful analysis of existing conditions is showing them that brains are greater assets in industry than sex appeal. It is no longer necessary for ambitious women to rely on feminine wiles to get by. Consequently modern woman is being her natural, straight-forward self, looking the world straight in the eye, instead of trying to be the studiously shy creature of her grandmother's day who regarded life through hypocritically lowered insees.

This Great Book tells all about the Negro Everywhere in the World War. How He, Did His Duty. A NEW REVISED BOOK WITH In every capacity—from right up in the Front Line Trenches and on the Battlefields—Clear Back to the Work of Keeping the Home Fires Burning: On the Farms: In the Mills and Munition Plants: On the Railroads and Steamships: In the Ship Yards and Factories. Men and Women with the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., the War Camp Community Services, the Liberty Loan Drives, etc., etc.' This Volume tells the world how the Negro has won his place and his right to a voice in the affairs of mankind against prejudice, ridicule, race hatred, and almost insurmountable obstacles. Many striking testimonials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY. More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Battle-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowoman As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the terrors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.

Above, a detail of the park. M. POIRET (19th) AND M. EUGENE MIAMI, FLA—This city everywhere will be gay with the Shrine colors, red, yellow, and green, and its tropical beauty will be enhanced a thou-fundfold when the uniformed Shrine bodies of America come to Miami during the 54th session of the Imperial Council, Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, on May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, 1928. Bay Front Park, a part of which is shown in the foreground of the photograph above, is planned as the Garden of Allah. The park which is rich in the exotic beauty of palms, brilliantly-hued shrubs, and flowers will become a veritable Garden of Eden by the time of the convention. The museum standard throughout the park will be masked with masks while encampments and other architectural works will contribute to the theme of decoration in Frus Famous Arbiters of Extol Beauty M. POIRET (left) AND M. EUGENE NEW YORK—When those two famous Parisians, M. Poiret dictator of fashions and M. Eugene, ruler of the waves—the permanent ruler of female coifures of course—met nere recently, they waived all matters of a political nature to discuss clothes and coifures. "Permanent waves," said M. Poiret, "are a great achievement in the art of dressing. It is erroneous to think that hair has become less important to the smart ensemble because there is less of it and because it is concealed outdoors by a hat. The shorter the hair, the more precious it becomes and the more important to a woman's charm. Waves that accentuate the natural contours of a woman's neck and give that so-soick appearance to her coifure are as essential to the smart women as correct accessories. Straight hair is as passe as outfit, fashion, herself, has put the perm. --- Masonic symbols. This will be the first time the Shrirens' convention has met in Florida whose climate and fora approximate those of Arabia whence many details of the insignia and costumes of the great order have been derived, and fullest advantage will be taken of the fact to create an unsupervised and appropriate setting. By right the paims in the garden will glow with myriads of incandescent bulbs in the Shrine concordance, the reviewing stand from which the highest active official of the Masonic Order, the Imperial Postmaster, will witness the passing of the imposing pageant of the uniformed bodies, nobles, and bands is planned in the form of an Arabic symbol. It is expected that six thousand persons will be represented in the Shrine bands; six months before the opening of the convention it was stated at the Shrine headquarters in Miami that acceptances promised one of the largest of Paris Style y of Permanent Wave nent crimp into feminine hair styles. To Eugene, whose perfection of permanent waves ranks him among the world's great artists, all women own gratitude." "To meet fashion's demand," interrupted Eugene, "machines have been invented and methods developed, transforming the straightest hair into the most natural of waves. So successful are these developments that artificially curly hair nowadays when properly wared will react exactly like naturally curly hair. Its curls will tighten after a shampoo during a rain or at the seashore, and straighten out in cold, dry weather.

The famous Biscayne Boulevard, the Miami's Fifth Avenue, broadened and built along the bay front of the city within the last two years at large cost, will become the Street of Arabs. It will carry out the decorative plan of the park and of the city as a whole. Masked lighting standards and other architectural works in Oriental design are planned to provide a setting which will blend colorfully the splendid pageant which will be nessed upon this broad thoroughfare. Two years ago on the of this beautiful boulevard, which the uniformed will form this gorgeous parade were the waters of Biscayne Bay, having been filled in at a cost of 2½ millions.

In improvements for the accommodation of winter-dodging tourists. The proposed development, which already has been taken up with the Secretaries of Foreign Relations and Public Works in Cuba and Mexico and with the United States Department of Commerce, would, it is claimed, do to build and maintain friendship and understanding between the United States and Central America than all the diplomatic pow-wows of the last hundred years. Few Americas, probably, realize that a journey from Miami, for instance, to Yucatan, is little longer than a trip from Miami to Atlanta, Georgia. And from Yucatan—where the pyramids of the ancient Maya civilization antedate and dwarf the pyramids of Egypt—to America beckons, Southward lie Argentina, Ponturas, Costa Rica and Colombia to the northwest Mexico and California. The first link in the chain, the engineering feat that has made Key West accessible to the motor tourist, is complete. From Key West to Havana is but 100 miles—shorter than from Miami to Key West. A modern ferry system to bridge this gap would land the tourist in a few hours in a real capital of old Havana. From Havana over the Caribbean system the government China has been developed for will join in welcoming the Shriner's their families, and friends. The city is now celebrating her recovery and the completion of some three hundred million dollars of public developments and improvements. Amor these items are the improvement and double-tracking of the Florida East Coast Railway, totalling 63 million dollars, new hotels and apartments aggregating 150 million, utilities amounts of 15 million, and other railway, and steamship developments to some 39 million. Miami accords not a little of her progress to the encouragement, interest, and support of the nation, the great convention will seek in some measure to express her gratitude.

Or a water jump of only 90 miles carries oxe from Haiti to Jamaica. These figures, which show how relatively near at hand are ports and places which have long seemed far distant, are held to reveal not only the plausibility but the feasibility of the proposed West Indian-Indian-American tourist and trade route. At least they have so impressed William E. Lester, Chairman of the Latin-American Relationship Committee of the Miami Chamber of Commerce that he is heading a movement to link concretely to Miami, with ferrie and highways, all the sister republic of the tropical seas. For annual opportunities says Lester, the proposal holds tremendous trade possibilities.

"Woman's anarchy in dress today is reaction against the old armor worn by the Gibson girl to attain the proportions of Venus, twenty-six inches and thirty-eight-inch hips. That twelve inches of disproportion is nothing short of the nated middle-aged-spread which all women are trying to avoid.
