With best wishes, I am BUREAU OF VITAL STATISTICS—STATE BUREAU OF HEALTH. I have read with much interest the comment in The Planet of February 18, 1928 on the Racial Integrity Bill. Can you send me several copies for inclosed $.20? I am glad to know that the true negroes are becoming interested in preserving the purity of their race. I am sure that the whites will unite with them in that effort. I hope the true negroes will be wise enough to know what to do with mixed breeds who are not white and whom the negroes do not consider black. They are the problem. The true negro is no problem from the racial standpoint, so long as he remains pure. It is needless to say that he has the goodwill of all well thinking white people. I wish every reading Negro in America, yes, the world over could have and read with as much delight as I did your issue of the 18 inst. While reading it, thoughts rushed ahead and I began to make notes for no other reason than to write an assistant reply, but when I got through, you had covered the ground so completely, I shouted in my soul and could see no break I could mend.

FREE FIGHT THERE A free fight took place at Taylor's Tobacco Warehouse Monday morning at about 7:30 o'clock. As a result, Joe Chambers, of 19 W. Jackson St. was in the Second Police Station Monday. He was not inclined to talk. In his hurry, he had taken another man's overcoat and that man was there ready to make an exchange, which was promptly done. The warrant read John Chambers, Joe Chambers, Willie Buye were at work at the Export Leaf Tobacco Factory, when Willie Buye came up and cut Joe Chambers came up and took his brother's part. Willie Buye cut John Chambers and John Chambers cut Willie Buye. Buye and Chambers were in St. Philips Hospital. Buye lives at 15 Pegg St. Buye has since left the hospital, but John Chambers is still at this writing. Joe Chambers is represented by Attorney H. M. Smith, case was called in the Police Court last Tuesday and continued. It was on the docket again Wednesday, but went over, due to the absence of the wounded men. JUDGE MAURICE PRESIDES. Judge H. A. Laurie preside in the absence of Judge John L. Ince who was in Washington. A heavy docket faced the Southside jurist on Monday, but he waded through it with the skill of a veteran and by 11:07, the stentorian voice of Ballif Pop. Tate announced that "it will take a recess for 20 m" with this usual form for the day's proceedings. It may, he well to state that Joe Chambers was cut on the shoulder, arm and in the head by William Buye. MR. ELDER'S CASE. Chas. S. Elder, the well-known insurance man, who looks more like a white person than he does like a colored one, was in the Police Court before Judge Maurice Monday morning charged with being disordered and interfering with ladies on the street. The witnesses were I. G. Cousins, J. L. Wiltshire, F. J. Gentry, E. H. Organ. The case was continued until the 29th. It is said that he insisted upon assisting a white passenger from a street car and she took otense at his familiarity and had him arrested. He was beailed for his appearance. STRUCK WITH AXE. SINCE WITH AKE. Judge John L. Ingram was back at his post last Wednesday and routine matters went on as usual. One of the most woe-begone looking individuals appeared with his head swathed in a bandage with bloody discolorations. His name was Willie Hicks of 2221 Moore St. He charged Mack McCray with assaulting him with an axe. To this McCray made no denial as Hicks was disagreeably drunk and Judge Ingram made quick work of the matter. He dismissed McCray and Hicks went to the pen to complete the task of sobering up. IDEAL SOCIETY NOTES Sunday was an ideal day for the National Ideal Benefit Society at Jerusalem Baptist Church, Doswell, Va. Rev. R. L. Harrison, pastor. Mr. A. W. Holmes, Supreme Master, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. John E. Bankett, Mrs. Olivia W. Smith and Miss Youtha Allen, motored to the beautiful church mentioned above and took active part in the morning services. After listening to a spiritual discourse by the pastor, the National Lecturer, Mrs. Bankett, who had made the way possible for the presentation of the Ideal Society, in words choice and befitting, introduced the Supreme Master. His address was brim'full of inspiration and information and was a master-piece. Mesdames Smith, Bankett and Miss Allen sang, to the delight of the audience, "Count Your Blessings." By special request, Mrs. Smith sang, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," with her usual melody and charm. Having spent several pleasant and profitable hours of worship with a group of Christian men and women, the party wended their way homeward, reaching Richmond about 3:30 P. M. just in time for dinner. Mr. A. W. Holmes, Dear Supreme Master; I wish to thank you and the Supreme Lodge for the prompt payment of the death claim of my husband, Squire Lacy, who died on the 4th of February, and was paid on the 16th of February. He was a member of Darwin Lodge No. 226. "May Go! Bess this noble institu- tion." Yours in F. L. and P. Mrs. Mart Lacy. Mrs. Rachael Hall of 2300 Old Dominion Street (Souths de) who has been sick for the past two weeks is slowly improving. The City Council Committee delayed the choice of a site for a park, a swimming pool or a recreation centre in Miller's Field, in order to give the colored people an opportunity to endorse the site or some other site. The one selected is just over from the crematorium at the foot of St. Peter street, which place has been used many years as a city ash and refuse dump. Other sites were Hick's Pond, Hartshorn Memorial College and the foot of St. John St., so it is said. After remaining in session at a much advertised meeting at the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church until 12 o'clock, no site was wholly approved and the whole matter is just where it started. The Ministers' Conference sent a committee to oppose a Negro Park site specifically. Finally, the Miller's Field project was loaded down with a proviso to include much of the land extending to Chamberlayne Avenue and thus giving the project a frontage on this popular driveway. Without this addition, we understood the Miller Field project would not be approved. Only about 300 persons attended when the vote was taken and this passed by an overwhelming majority. This was equivalent to marching up the hill and then marching down again with much good labor lost. The logical conclusion is that of those present, most of them did not favor any one of the sites as at present defined. ANNUAL BANQUE OF RICHMOND MEDICAL SOCIETY An affair unique in the annals of Richmond's Social Season was the First Annual Banquet of the Richmond Medical Society, Friday evening February 17th. The occasion served also as an ideal time for the 32nd installation of the Society's officers. The spacious parlorors of the Home of Council of Colored Women 00 Clay Street, which was beautifully decorated with palms and ferms and variegated cut flowers, furnished a splendid background for the gowns of chiffon and crepe of velvet and brocades. One would have thought it was a veritable fashion show. In the absence of Dr. E. S. Roane, Dr. Fred D. Brown, served very ably as toast master. Dr. L. A. Reid, a very prominent dentist of this city, and President of the Civico Club, installed the officers. The following officers were installed: Dr. I. A. Jackson, President. Dr. L. D. Blaney, Vice-President. Dr. J. H. Blackwell, Jr., Secretary and Treasurer. Dr. Zenobia Gilpin, Asst. Secretary and Treasurer. Dr. D. W. Davis, Jr., Journalist. Dr. I. A. Jackson, re-elected for the fourth time as President, welcomed the members and their company, and outlined his work for the year. Dr. W. H. Hughes, dean of the Society, in very choice words set forth ideals for 1928. Dr. Joshua Heartwell, President, Peter B. Ramsey Dental Society, spoke in behalf of the dentists. Dr. William Jones spoke in behalf of the pharmacists. Dr. J. H. Blackwell made a brief speech. The following guest were present: Dr. s. Mrs. Jas. B. Darden, of Petersburg; Dr. Robt. Deane, of Lawrenceville Dr. and Mrs. Joshua Heartwell of Petersburg; Dr. and Mrs. J. Hughes, Dr. and Mrs. O. B. Jones, Dr. and Mrs. Moton B. Lewis, and Mr. H. Tyler, and Mrs. H. Blackwell, Jr. Dr. and Mrs. B. Brown, Dr. and Mrs. A. A. T. Brown, Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Early. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. ART in Him Was a Fair Fight. Theo. Arthur Cook was found with a cut thru the heart at 909 N. 190 St. He was conscious, but would give no information as to how he was injured, merely stating that he was cut in a fair fight. He had 7 cuts, one of which only punctured his coat. All of the wounds were on his left side. Coroner James M. Whitfield was puzzled to know how he lived from 5 o'clock until 8 o'clock after being stabbed through the heart. No arrests have been made. Funeral took place from the house Thursday, 2:30 P. M., Rev. Dr. J. H. Binford officiating. R. C. Scott was funeral director. Drr and Mrs. I. A. Jackson, Dr. and Mrs. Geo, White, Dr. D. W. Drav, Jr., Dr. D. W. Gripin, Dr. Natl. Marshal, D.

Mrs. Judah Hughes Smith, of 819 N. 30th St. takes this method to thank her many friends on Church Hill for their tenderness and kindness during her recent illness. She is now with her sister, Mrs. Ada Hayes Howell, of 113 E. 18th St. Southside and is improving rapidly. LANDON WALKER GLASSED BY ANGERED PUCKPOCKET IN ORANGE, N. J. STORE Enraged when he was prevented from picking the pocket of a patron in the store of Charles Banks, colored, 193 Broome street, yesterday, an unidentified colored man slashed at Banks with a knife. Landon Walker, colored, of 223 Broome street happened to be in life with the blow and was stabbed in the stomach. He is in a serious condition in Beth Israel Hospital. Detectives Morrison and Morgan arrested Banks and Alma Jones, colored, of 99 Arlington street and brought them to headquarters for questioning. They were held as material witnesses. The detectives said that a dozen persons were in the store when the slashing occurred, but all escaped except Banks and Miss Jones. The assailant escaped. —Exchange GETS FIVE YEARS FOR BURYING CEMENT FOR SELECTING INSURANCE St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 23 (PNS).—The latent desire to get something for nothing has resulted in bring a "peck of trouble" to Charles E. Howell and John Allen, of this city. Allen, a barber shop proprietor, was found guilty of attempting to get money under false pretenses in an insurance fraud and was sentenced to a jury in circuit court here Thursday. The jury deliberated but 15 minutes in reaching the verdict. Undertaker Already in Pen A co-defendant, Charles L. Howell, an undertaker, is now serving a five-year sentence after losing his appeal to the Supreme Court. He was convicted on June 23, 1926. The third person in the fraud plot—the alleged dead man—returned to live to testify for the state against the other two. "Corpse" Full of Life Raymond Hurling, alias Raymond Allen, aged 31, was supposed to be dead and buried. But that is not the case, he is alive and "full of life" too. In his story on the witness stand he gave most of the details of the plast, which the state alleged, Howell and Allen evolved to obtain $3,000 in insurance from the Liberty Life Insurance Company, of Chicago. Hurling said that he had been em- (Continued on page 4) POP YA KNOW! WHEN THA MAN REACHED DOWN THA WOLF'S THROAT AN' GRABBED IT'S TAIL, AN' TURNED IT INSIDE OUT, AN' IT RAN THE OTHER WAY?

But starvation dues, painful reducing exercises, and extreme methods of losing pounds and inches for Milady Stout are fading out of the picture. Dame Fashion has not relented in her tyranny against the stout figure. A note from Mme. Jenny, the famous Parisian authority, says: "You will notice a circular cut that is complicated in conception, out arranged to fall with such becoming simplicity that the unobservable will it offen but little from the straight silhouette to which we have been accustomed so long. It is when the weaker moves that all the subtle charm of the new line is noticeable. But Fashion has achieved a comfortable means to this highly desirable slenderness. The tyrannical dame brooks no interference with her decrees and she is now seeing to it that stout women get thin by the method she sponsors. The tried and often despared of other means are not nearly so stylish since the appearance on the market of a new figure remoulder. This figure remoulder or reducing garment was created so really a new material had to be invented. There had been reduced garments before which squeezed the figure down. But they were only comfortable to permit the grace of movement demanded by Mme Jenny Charmosette the material of the new reducing garment distributes surplus flesh naturally smoothing out the bulges. And the garment made of it has no noose, steel stays or lacings. The wearer really has on a three in-one when she dons this reducing garment. And she is unconscious of it except when she looks in the mirror and sees that she is four or five inches slimmer than without it. says Miss Kathryn Cunningham, designer for the H W Gossard Company, of Chicago.

GALAGANY Alta.—All Europe and America can spread their bread for several meals on the butter produced in Alberta in a year. The annual output of this province alone is more than 20,000,000 pounds of butter, or enough for 750,000,000 slices of bread, according to a recent report of the department of Colonization and Development of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Alberta is the third largest producer of butter of the northe provinces of Canada, the department figures show. Most of the land in Alberta that twenty-five years ago was the pasture of thousands of beef cattle is now a productive mixed farming country with dairying as one of the most profitable branches. The cow population of the province today is more than 460,000, as compared with 147,887 in 1911. (If a total acreage of 163,832,400 acres in Alberta there is a surveyedable for agriculture of 60. A.

It has had a tendency to halt the use of men's breeches by this same class of people. It has been difficult to tell in twilight, whether one is approaching a man or a woman. THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL The Virginia Senate 'extracted the teeth' from Gov. Harry Flood's antitrenching bill and then adopted the measure by a vote of 32 to 0. The recommendations of His Excellency provided a penalty of $2,500.00 to be paid to the heirs and beneficiaries of a person lynched by the city or country in which the lynching took place. As the matter now stands, the only action taken was to legalize by specific statute the actions already taken in prosecuting lynchers. It is now made a State offense and the funds of the Commonwealth are specifically placed at the disposal of the Governor to aid in bringing the members of a mob to justice. This, from a moral standpoint, is doing something towards further lawmaking this crowding infamy of the century. Certainly there should be a penalty in the premises for a law without a penalty is null and void. The sheriff should be held responsible and the Governor should be given the power to remove him from office should he permit a prisoner to beynched, who is consigned to his keeping. We had hoped that the Byrd measure would be passed in its entirety, but as the Senate is more conservative than the House, it is hardly be expected that much can be expected in this direction. Let us hope that there may be a disagreement and that in conference the effort to rid Virginia of this crowning infamy may take a tangible form and form a basis for other States in the Union to follow. Lynch-law must go! ____O____ THE POLITICAL SITUATION The political situation at the present time is puzzling and it presents certain phases, which surprise and worry some of the oldest and most astute political leaders in this country. From a Republican standpoint, the final outcome depends much upon the nominee of the National Democratic Convention at Houston. The Republican leaders are more or less upset by the positive declaration of President Calvin Coolidge that he does not choose to run again at this time. This has "quered" the situation and "muddied the waters" so to speak. He is in possession of the patronage, which carries with it vast political influence. The next question is, who will he favor for President? While, he no doubt has made up his mind, not to be partial in the matter, it is nevertheless a fact that some one of the several candidates, when his name is called will afford to him benignant pleasure. Lowden, Dawes, Will's, Borah and the others with the possible exception of Herbert Hoover will awaken no interest in the great statesman from Massachusetts. It is a fact that the office holders closest to the President are Hooverites. Senator Willis is an avowed candidate as the leader of the "bondry" Republicans. He is being openly opposed by Hoover in Ohio, and if he is unhorsed there in a political sense, his doom as a candidate is sealed. The Hoover managers need the votes from Ohio in the Convention at Kansas City or at least a proportion of them. This will place Willis of Ohio, and Lowden of Illinois, upon the same footing. Both will have trouble in their home States. Unfortunately Secretary Hoover hails from California, a State that defeated Charles Evans Hughes for President. New York State accordingly is not backing Hoover, just at this juncture, but is sending an uninstructed delegation to the National Republican Convention. In the meantime, the leader of the New York forces is insisting upon drafting President Coolidge as a candidate. The situation is closely akin to that which confronted President Theodore Roosevelt at one time, when he insisted that the leaders should take William Howard Taft or himself. The "break" between Roosevelt and Taft constitutes a remarkable incident in American history. Now President Coolidge is prevented from making the same demand. He knows the story of Roosevelt's blunder with Taft and he is nimbly avoiding the making of a similar one in the case of Hoover. According to all indications, his favorite will go into the Convention at Kansas City with a plurality of votes. The idea is to produce a dead-lock, from which some one of the minor candidates will emerge victor. If the outside combination proves successful, it will be "any body's fight." Should the machine win, then Herbert Hoover of California, will be named with the remote possibility that Hon. Charles G. Dawes may be induced to again accept second place on the ticket, which will be Herbert Hoover, of California, and Charles G. Dawes, of Illinois. But what about the Democratic side? The indications are that Gov. Alfred E. Smith will have the "fight of his life" in the Convention at Houston, Texas, and one of the most scenic campaigns ever known in this country should he become the standard-bearer of that Party after the political fight is under way. He will have as a spectre in the back-ground, the danger of assassination. His enemies will not hesitate in this fight, which has been and is now being regarded as an attempt by the Roman Catholic hierarchy to capture, through him the presidency. As untrue as this statement may be, it will be devoutly believed by hundreds of thousands fanatics, while as many more on the Roman Catholic side of the contention will have made up their minds that religious intolerance shall not exist under the American flag and that the test as to mixing politics with religion might as well be made this year as at any other time. Then will come the "army" of fanatical "drys", who see in Gov. Smith the symbol of Demon Rum and who openly charge that he will be guilty of perjury and violate his oath to support the Eighteenth Amendment as soon as the opportunity presents itself for him so to do. Then you have in Gov. Smith, opposition on account of his religious beliefs, which should not be as he can point to thousands of Protestants that are in office in New York State by virtue of his exercise of political patronage. Last but not least comes the influence of Tammany Hall in New York, which it is alleged, through its leaders will dictate Federal appointments at Washington. This opposition is inside of the Democratic Party and is based upon these grounds. It is further alleged that Gov. Smith's nomination will cause a split in the Southern States. This, however, will be largely dependent upon the candidate of the Republican Party. Most Southern Democrats remain away from the polls instead of supporting the candidate of the other side. The machine then proceeds to deliver the electoral vote to the Democratic nominee as usual. This is why Herbert Hoover is looming up in the offing on the Republican side. He had charge of the great southern relief in the Mississippi flood. But the question that will interest most people will relate to the chance of Gov. Alfred E. Smith being the next President of the United States and the outlook of Secretary Herbert Hoover to succeed Hon. Calvin Coolidge in the White House of the Nation. It seems that the disruption in the Republican Party if Secretary Hoover is named, will be of the most positive kind, but it will not equal the upheaval that must necessarily follow in the Democratic ranks, if Gov. Alfred E. Smith succeeds in being named as the standard-bearer of the Democratic Convention at Houston, Texas. Gov. Smith's religious beliefs should not be considered any more than the religious beliefs of Secretary Hoover. Still prejudice is unreasoning and unconvincible. The fact is it is believed that Gov. Smith will carry New York, some of the New England States and New Jersey with a heavy inroad upon Pennsylvania and other "rock-ribbed" Republican States. The Middle and the Far West will be the battle ground and the deciding factor and it is hoped that the local pride of the West will hold those States in line for Herbert Hoover. Gov. Smith is pledged to carry out the liquor laws as they are upon the statute books. The Republican nominee is pledged to do the same thing. As to the citizens of color, we are of the opinion that as between the candidates, they will be greatly divided. It is an unfortunate situation that presents itself and the indications are that serious trouble will follow before the inauguration of the next President of the United States at Washington. SENATOR REED'S OBSERVATION Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri, who is a candidate for the office of President of the United States, spoke at Dallas, Texas, recently and if talk was all that was necessary for him to "land the office," he is virtually President already. Just how far he will be able to go and just how much power he will possess to effect THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Positively Relieves PAIN Sufferers from the sharp, knife-like pain, the dull, throbbing, continuous ache which accompany kidney troubles and liver infections, can find relief by putting on a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. It will bring almost immediate relief from the terrible suffering, and will not interfere with, but will positively assist any other treatment which your physician has prescribed. Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster is not to be considered as a remedy in any sense for these organic derangements—your physician must be consulted and his treatment taken for remedying the underlying causes. The pain warms and soothes, and its medication at once begins to be absorbed through the skin directly to the affected parts. Its beneficial results continue as long as the plaster remains on the body. Be sure to ask for the Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. All drugstores. the recognition and adoption of the policies and principles, which he enunciates do not at present appear. He is already a member of the United States Senate, where he is presumed to be able to bring about these conditions along a more positive basis, than he would be as Chief Executive of the Nation. While this distinguished statesman is remarkable for his oratory, he has shown in the past that he has been going one way and the Democratic Party with which he affiliates, another. He is quoted as follows: "I appeal for a return of honesty in government and for the re-establishment of the old Democratic doctrine. "I speak for the inalienable right of the citizen to liberty of conscience without coercion, criticism or obloquy. "To the preservation of the right of freedom of the press, peaceful assemblage, trial by jury and the reestablishment of local self-government and the sovereignty of the States. "For bringing the Federal power within the limits not only of the letter but of the spirit of the Constitution. "For the abolition of government by boards and bureaues. "For the equalization of the burdens of taxation, the repeal of all laws creating special privilege, and the dismissal of a vass army of spies snooders, sneaks and informers. "For the liberation of honest business from oppressive interferences by governmental agents. "The prosecution and punishment of those who by criminal conspiracy in restraint of trade make war on honest business, and "For the swift and sure punishment of all public punders bribe givers, election corruptionists and other malefactors. "These are the great issues. Upon many other problems we may be in division, but here is a field on which the Democratic Party can plant its banners. Here is the ground where all Democrats may assemble and where Democratic victory may be achieved". These onerous and deplorable conditions have continued under both Democratic and Republican Administrations. What we want to know is where is he to find the people to unite with him in the legislative branches of the Government to remedy these conditions should he be elected to the high office? It would result in the "lamentation of Jeremiah" crying in the wilderness, so to speak. If Senator James A. Reed, the distinguished representative from Missouri, could not get the people's representatives to heed his voice in the United States Senate as at present constituted, what can he hope to do should he be elevated to the highest office? He could recommend and protest, just as President Calvin Coolidge is doing, but no more than that. He says in the Democratic Party is installed in power, he hopes to see it inaugurate these policies and to effect a recognition of these principles when as a matter of fact, many of these conditions he condemns were brought about when the Democratic Party was in power under the lead rship of the late lamented President, Woodrow Wilson. Hon. Eugene V. Debs went to the Atlanta Penitentiary on account of his exercise of free speech. Continuing, he is quoted: Continuing, Senator Reed said that "once the Democratic Party is installed in power." reinaugurate in all their vigor the principles enunciated by Jefferson and enforced by Jackson. The departure from these ancient rules of government must be arrested, or we will soon cease to be a government or liberty, equality and justice. "If I comprehend the spirit of our institutions, this Government was established to protect the life, liberty and property of the individual. It was contemplated that there should be reserved to local communities the largest right of self-government that the States should be 'in all respects sovereign, save as they had expressly granted limited powers to the Federal Government that the powers of the Federal Government should be confined to the protection of the nation in international controversies, to the settlement of controversies between States, regulation of interstate commerce, establishment of post offices and postroads and certain minor powers". "We endorse all that he says and only wish that we could accept it, coming from that source at its face value.

GETS % YEARS FOR BURYING CEMENT, COLLECTING INSURANCE (Continued from page 1) ployed as a barber for five years for Allen, when Allen suggested in January, 1925, that he was leading a reckless life and had better take out insurance. A few days later an agent for the Liberty Life called and the policy was taken out for Hurling under the name of Raymond Allen, with John Allen as beneficiary. Gets Sick In December, 1925, Hurling said that he became sick and Allen told him to stay in bed. Allen took him to a rooming house and called Dr. James E. White to see him. Hurling said that three days later a taxicab called and he was instructed to go to Howell's home. "I stayed there a month and then got tired and walked out, I didn't know that I was supposed to be dead," he concluded. Funeral Held Too Soon Testimony in Howell's trial showed that a man named James Moore, whose relatives could not afford to pay the funeral expenses, was buried in 800 cellulose a compound Allen and Moore's coffin contained only a sock amount. Both burials took place the same day. Later when an attorney for the Liberty Life Insurance Company discovered that he had been buried before he was supposed to have died, according to the biblical permit, an investigation was ordered and the coffins exhumed. "Good Character" Allen's Defense At the trial Allen's defense was confided to several character witnesses who testified to his good reputation. Read the "Planet." Send us your subscription.

"Housewives with an eye to beauty rather than blends with the beauty." 100 This Week By Arthur Brisbane CANADA OUR FRIEND. ANTI-THIRD TERM. ULTRA, SIMPLE DIVORCE MUSSOLINT’“I WILL” Secretary of State Kellogg has been in Canada, well received, and heard Canadian statesmen say there is no danger of our country trying to annex Canada. That anxiation idea is old and foolish. The United States is glad to have a good peacemaker and finds it in the people of Canada. Also, Canada is our best customer, buying here more than the British mother country buys. For several months in 1927 Canada was the best customer we had in the world. We helped the Canadian Northwest, as we did all countries, by supplying a short cut through the Panama Canal. Canada reciprocates by buying of us. When the St. Lawrence Canal goes through, both nations will be better off. Friendship, co-operation, constructive competition should be the programme. The Senate will pass some kind of anti-third-term bill, making two terms the law, instead of a tradition. It should be two ELECTED terms. A man elected once should have a second term in mind. No matter how good he is, that makes him a better President. Gratitude is a sense of favors to come. Senator Borah advocates only one term, a mistake. It takes a President one term to get over the excitement of being President and get down to real work. Two terms by election of the people would be a good rule. Germany proposes a law to make "a simple wish" sufficient ground for divorce. It would not be necessary to prove guilt. Wife or husband can say, "A continuation of my married life has become impossible." Pianos of Today PLEASING TO EYE AND EAR CHICAGO—Pianos to match the furnishings of the living room are the best mode in interior decorating. "Housewives with an eye to beauty as well as an ear for music are re-rolling against the tyranny of grim uprights and grands casting drab shadows over their gay home adornment schemes," declared A. G. Gulbransen, president of the Gulbransen piano Company. "If a piano is to symbolize music in the home it should excite the imagination rather than deaden the emotions. The piano as a messenger of harmony becomes an anachronism when it clashes "That will and it." The couple must live apart one year before getting the divorce. When no guilt is proved, there will be no alimony. The richer of the two will be expected to help the poorer. That makes our "companionate" marriage quite conservative. Mussolini continues simplifying Italy's government which in substance is the expression of Mussolini's "I will." Only one political party is to exist. Only those will vote "who contribute to the progress of the nation." The number of deputies will be reduced from 560 to 400. It would be simpler to let Mussolini cast one vote for the whole nation. That is what happens in reality. If a dog bites a man we ignore it. If a man bites a dog that's news. Amos Cummings said it long ago and Dr. Wood said it before Cummings did. Often you read of a dog killed, defending his master, shot by a burglar, etc. That is hardly news. Now you read that Vincent J. McCarthy was killed by stab wounds while defending his dog. That is news. At Rockville, Conn, a white girl, nineteen years old, descendant of a general on the Southern side in the Civil War, also claiming ancestors on the Mayflower, secures a license to marry a mulatto. The girl's mother consents because she thinks it is "for the best interest of the couple." Intelligent men, white and black, will agree that that is decidedly AGAINST the interest of both the man and the woman, and all of both races. The poor Heine felt differently about it long ago. Shocked to hear that a white clergyman was to be tarred and feathered because he allowed his daughter to marry a negro. Heine exclaimed: "O! Freiheit, due bosser Traum!" "O, freedom, thou wicked dream." A young woman, well educated, married to a soundrel, followed him and his fortunes, and will soon be hanged with him in Canada. She was with him when he murdered a taxicab driver. An effort is made to save her from the gallows and the girl amazes her friends, saying she does not want to be saved. "If he hangs, I want to hang with him." That should amaze nobody. It might be amazing if a man said it. A woman is willing to be burned with her children, or hanged with her husband, when she likes him. It is part of the female disposition. Blend With Beauty rather than blends with the beauty of its surroundings. "Go the modern housewife select her piano to conform with the latest trends in furniture style. If she lean toward period furnishings and accents her living room with Louis XIV. Empire or Early American pieces, she Las her choice of these designs in the period cases covering the instruments of today. Thus the ensemble of her home interior synchronizes perfectly.

That luxury adds license, is particularly true of youth. Even men grow astoundingly indifferent to moral law, when the fat purse so easily procures the intoxicant. When our young people hear discussions on the subject, Jesus Christ was legitimate child, and that brutal murderers need trained nurses and sanitary diet instead of a hangman's noose—pray, what may we expect? We are very sure that youth is susceptible to suggestion, with the mind in the formative stage, and, when said youth is relieved by society, of all parental espionage—and, when said youth has his mind fed twice a day by a capable press, on the most salacious crime news obtainable—we are not long in witnessing the reaction. A boy drunken with speed-manian, his pockets bulging with money, cries out, "I'm going to hold bad boys with knife and gun, will kill for the fun and notoriety of it! Insane? Dementia praecox? Call it what you will—if you sow criminal neglect, you will reap dismembered bodies of little girls. It is easier to nip "dementia praecox" in the bud, than it is to get clear of a murder charge on the grounds of insanity. We never heard of dementia praecox when parents took time to train their children properly. There is food for reflection, when Mamma bobs her hair and her skirts—and when Dad spends his Sundays creating the caddie!

No city on the continent is more fascinating than Quebec—enclosed within old gray stone walls and entered in many sections through gates; its Citadel and arrays of carcasses at unexpected corners mark its antiquity; its narrow streets with red, blue and yellow carts and horse-drawn carrioles add to its old world atmosphere, and its Norman houses and buildings cushion centuries all form a setting of beauty for the blue-green ice sculptures in the city, as it them at intervals, like the sage old on the streets of France or Pompeii.

These are created to be enduring for all time, and herein Carbonneau differs from all artists, for he apparently works only for the hour, thus no artist has ever withdrawn a piece nor is there a moment to lose when ice and weather are conducive to work; then Carbonneau's garden becomes his studio and work proceeds swiftly. It is a Herculean task to erect as many monuments as Carbonneau does, but he has many assistants who place the block* of ice in position for the oases and attend to the minor details while Carbonneau carves the figures, animals or other objects.

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.

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.

While the meat of the "bunny" is sweet and toothsome to many, the rabbit's chief asset is its skin. Some idea of the important fur of rabbit skins had from the fact that last year fully 100,000,000 skins of tame rabbits were used in this country. "Up to two years ago," said Stanley 2. Keshen, vice-president of A B shubert, Inc., of Chicago one of the "rawest fur receivers and distributors in the nation." "not more than 3 per cent of the tame-rabbit skins received in domestic markets, were American skins. Foreign countries provided almost the entire output. But today, as a result of our campaign of education and general cooperation with trappers and hunters, American skins are an important factor in the rabbitskins industry. "Just the other day our company shipped out 350,000 skin skins, forty large vales—and our daily skipsents are always large. These from tame rabbits, ultimately will be used in ladies' felt hats, glovelings. Nation's Farm Homes By Tests on Law Rough Treatment WICHT!. Kans. — When does a enap break? How does a damp enap enapate? These problems and a thousand others are figured down to a fraction daily by experts in the underwriters' laboratories. Few people realize the thickness of the tests made in the smallest commercial articles according to Karl Kilby head of the research department of the Coleman Lamp Company. Wooden matches are tested for the strength of their wood before they ever arrive in the nails or in said Mr Kilby's Blue steel for heavy construction are tested for their fire resistance qualities. Insoline pressureamps which are the ideal illumination in the farm home probably underlie the and the like and by furriers. The skin of the wild rabbit is in pronounced demand by makers of felt for hats. Only the best grades on winter skins of tame rabbits are used by furriers. "The better grades of tame rabbit, skins are used to imitate more expensive furs, although no deception is practised in the use of these skins, which have a distinct value of their own. For example, what is called, 'sealine is, tame-rabbit skin sheared and dyed black; 'beaverteer, tame-rabbit skin dyed to look like plucked beaver, and 'sequine is, tame-rabbit skin resemble squine skin through the dying skin. The Chinchilla-rabbit skin, the most valuable of all rabbit skins, makes a beautiful coat and provides handsome fur trimming. American hatters use most of our jack-rabbit skins in the manufacture of the better grades of felt hats." The vice-president of A. B. Shubert Inc. further declared that breeders and ranchers, as well as hunters, are rapidly acquiring knowledge of the best way to cure and ship their turs to market and that the added income is proving to be equivalent to that in them of the little animal that formerly was considered only as food material and something to link up with Easter. mes Made Safer Lamps and Matches most enacting test of any lightning equipment known.

Auto Traffic Crowds Road Program INCREASING TRAFFIC NEW ROADS Rapid increase in automobile registration is confronting the country with the necessity of accelerating its good roads program. Unless this is done serious traffic congestion may develop upon a wide scale. This is the conclusion of Award Smith vice president of the Union Trust Company of Cleveland. There are now 23,000,000 automobiles registered an average of one car to each family. U.S. highway mileage is 3,000,000 miles of which only 600,000 miles are surfaced outside of city streets. If the cars now in use were placed end to end on the surfaced roads it Cake Eaters Develop at School for LEARNING Baking ADC's aters Develop Into C nt School for Embryo LEARNING BAKING ADCS +WARREN WRIGHT, SPONSOR OF SCHOOL CHICAGO—Perfect husbands, who will be as much at home in the kitchen as in the "den," may be evolved in the class of high school boys who are studying domestic science at one of Chicago's big industrial plants. The model kitchen of the Calumet Baking-Powder company's plant, within a few blocks of the school, serves as a laboratory for the lads, who, under the instruction of Miss Marion Jane Parker, household economics expert of the firm, show promise of becoming master cooks. It is in this perfectly-appointed kitchen, with its high-pressure cookers and ingenious electric devices, that thousands of recipes are tried out. Here the art of cooking is established on a strictly scientific basis and the chemistry of foods is the first consideration.

Even baseball is neglected, so keen are the youngsters to learn the rudiments of culinary art. While cooking is regarded essentially as woman's work," said Miss Parker, "the fact remains that the world's most famous chefs—the actual creators — have been men. And, whether or not we are going to produce great chefs from this little class, we will turn out boys who, when they become heads of households, can step into the kitchen in an emergency and take as good biscuits and cakes as the housewife."

"In 1004, when the automobile was in its infant expenditures for highways outside of cities were $60,000,000. In 1027 the country outlawed $1,320,000,000. a 22-fold increase. "At the existing rate of increase in automotive traffic it is reasonable to say that an expenditure of $2,000,000 a year for maintenance and construction of highways would not be an excessive amount." says Smith. "The large sums spent for improved roads are partly financed by the motor cars themselves. In 1927 registration fees and gasoline taxes for the country approximated $600,000,000." books Huddlands ---
