THE RICHMOND PLANET ALLEN CHARGED, MURDER! Puryear-West Appeal to Virginia Supreme Court ANOTHER MURDER CHARGE John McCray Kills Allen McGruder. Deadly Bullet in Abdomen. Mrs. Mary Tomlin Horribly Burned VOLUME XLV, NO. 17 ALL Purye ANOT John McCr Deadly Mrs. M (Special by John Mitchell, jr.) A tragic affair was staged near the northwest corner of Fourth and Clay Street, Monday night February 27th, when John McCray shot and fatally wounded Allen McGruder. The bullet entered the abdomen. McGruder was rushed to St. Philips Hospital, where he was operated upon. He died Tuesday night, February 28th. It is alleged that McCray snapped three times before it would fire and one bullet before the deadly work. McCray had not been apprehended up to Wednesday, 29th inst. A warrant charging him with murder is in the hands of the Detective Department, with Sergeants Gentry and Organ in charge. McGruder is nicknamed "Happy". McCray's father is in New York. I visited Van Allen, the colored barber, who is charged with the murder of Theo Arthur Cook. The unfortunate man lived about three hours after having been cut through the heart. This is one of the most remarkable cases on record. Allen was in the city jail and he gave a full account of the happening, which Cook said before his death. was a "fair fight" and he declined to name the man who fatally wounded him. Van Allen said: "How are you, Mr. Mitchell? I saw you in the Police Court yesterday. You were helping some of the men in there. I spoke to you but did not think you recognized me. I was in the Knights of Fythias at one time and was a member of Eureka Company. I went with you to Bristol, when the Grand Lodge session was held there. THE TALK ABOUT WHISKEY "I have a barber shop at 1800 Shorr O Street. When I came into the shop Monday, February 20th, at about 2:30 P. M. as near as I can get at it. Cook came into the shop. Many were hanging around the shop. He started to pick the fuss himself. I told him I didn't want to fight. I can't beat you. He said to me. You've been a spotter round here, telling Dan Duling about my hiding whiskey. I told him I had never told Mr. Dan Duling or any other policeman about any whiskey, but if you hide any more around here, I will tell Mr. Dan Dulung. Then he started to cursing. "I am a 'through town nigger'. No one knows where I came from." Then he grabbed me and pulled me back into the shop. There was no one in the shop but me. The boys had gone outside the door and were looking in. ATTACKED IN HIS OWN SHOP. "He struck me as I was sitting on the side of a barber's chair inside the shop. I don't know whether he was drunk or not. He had whiskey on him all right. When he caught me, he had gotten a long dirk knife out of his pocket. I had to defend myself. We tussled and I got the knife from him and I cut him. I had no knife of my own and I cut him with the knife, with which he was trying to cut me. I was scared of him and then I cut him. He followed me to the door and he fell at the door. I thought he was trying to catch me and I ran. I went home, pulled off my shirt and got into this shirt. I got it off the line and went on to 'Farmville by train.' ```markdown ``` LEN ear-Wes HER MU CHARGE ray Kills Allen y Bullet in Ab ary Tom Horribly THE FINAL SURRENDER "I was advised to leave. I went in the country. I got a paper from Richmond and saw where it said a man named Scott had been killed. I knew that it should have been Cook. I decided to return to Richmond and give myself up. I came back about 10:10 Friday night. I went home and told my wife. I was going to give myself up. My wife name is Callie Allen. I have three children." Before I left there, Mrs. Allen came in to see her husband, I left the prison. It was thronged with persons desirous of talking to relatives. A few moments later, I had returned to The Planet Office to ponder over the story of another grim tragedy among colored folks. Sergeant Dan Dulling stated that Theo Arthur Cook had been convicted of boo-booting. Van Allen appeared in the Police Court Wednesday, February 29th. The case was continued until March 2. Attorney H. M. Smith appeared as counsel. GODFREY DEFEATS PAOLINO UZCUDUN Terrific Blows of Negro Boxer Outweighs Rushing Attack of Bear Wrigley Field, Los Angeles, Feb 28.—(AP)—George Godfrey, 236% pound Negro heavyweight, took a ten round decision from Paolino Uzcudun, Spaniard, 192 1-2 pounds here tonight. Paolino forced the fighting from gong to gong but Referee George Blake, of Los Angeles, figured that the terrific blows of the mammoth Godfrey outweighed the rushing body attack of the Basque. Godfrey was slow to start and seemed content to try and toy with his man for the first three rounds, but Paolino's rushing, flailing blows stung his opponent into action. REV. FISHER SPEAKS PLAINLY Rev. Miles Mark Fisher, the brilliant instructor of Virginia Union University, is reported to have caused a sensation at the Baptist Ministers Conference of Richmond and vicinity last Monday morning in the delivering of an address, which for his convenience had been advanced. He is reported to have stated that he did not care whether that body endorsed him or not. It had previously given his position its approval and then had virtually withdrawn it. He took the extreme position that encouragement should be given to those, who were regarded as heretics. He was the object of much commendation during the farewell exercises at the Virginia Union University last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. He left Wednesday for his field of labor in Huntington, W. Va. In passing, it may be said that Rev. Fisher's views are not "four square" on the Fundamentalist doctrine. Whether any further action will be taken is not known as the Conference authorized the adoption of resolutions paying high tribute to his abilities as a minister. President G. E. Fountain was recently re-elected for one year after which there will be a rotation in that office, which office has been so satisfactorily filled by the late Rev. Dr. Evans Payne. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1928 Mrs. Mary Tomlin, of 308 E. Leigh St. was burned from her head to her feet Wednesday morning February 29th, between 8 and 9 o'clock and she was carried to St. Philips Hospital, where she now lies in a precarious condition. She remarked, "This is the end of me." She had been kicked but was much better and got up in her bedroom to dress the children. In moving in front of the open grate, her gown took fire and almost in an instant she was in a light blaze. She did not scream to avoid swallowing the blaze. She ran downstairs, where she met the other tenants. It was too late. The names had scorched her and burned all of the clothes from her body. Mrs. Tomlin died Thursday morning 2 o'clock, at St. Philips Hospital Funeral Director A. D. Price, Jr. has charge of the remains. INTERRACIAL COMMITTEE IN LOCAL MEET AT FLORENCE Florence, S. C.—An audience of six hundred, the two races being represented about equally, attended the recent annual meeting of the local Inter-racial Committee held on Sunday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. and listened to an interesting program of music and addresses. Mayor Herbert Gilbert presided and introduced the speakers. The principal address was delivered by Dr. W. F. Holmes, former principal of the colored schools, who paid a tribute to the Inter-racial Committee as "the most important agency now at work for the solution of the problems of race which confront us today. The very fact of its existence," he continued, "gives us courage and hope, as affording points of contact through which we may work for the betterment of our condition and the general welfare of the community." Dr. Holmes spoke appreciatively of the work of a number of welfare organizations, but set forth clearly the imperative need for better hospital facilities for the colored people of Florence. Other speakers were Mayor John W. Moore, superintendent of the city school, and Principal Felix Curtwright of the Wilson colored high school. Atlanta, Ga.—Dr. W. W. Alexander, Director of the Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation, sailed from New York on the 25th to attend the World Missionary Conference to be held in Jerusalem, March 18th to April 9th. He goes at the invitation of the International Missionary Council and will be one of two hundred delegates from all parts of the world—missionaries, educators, government representatives and others—who will study together the various phases of modern missions. Especial attention will be given to the consideration of race relations, in connection with which Dr. John Hope, President of Morehouse College, Atlanta, will tell of the work of the Inter-racial Commission in the South, of which he is a member. As Director of this Commission, Dr. Alexander was invited to follow the Jerusalem Conference with a series of addresses and conferences on race relations in the principal mission lands around the world, but found it impossible to be away so long. He will return to America the latter part of April. A PECULIAR CASE. Fred Brown appeared in the Police Court, Saturday, Feb. 25th, Judge H. A. Maurice, of Southside, presiding. He was charged by Florence Cowan with striking her and threatening to kill her. Judge Maurice asked her if she was married. "Yes," was the reply. "Where is your husband?" asked the Judge. "We separated. He is some where around." "Well, who is this man?" "He's my friend," she said. "Your friend?" The Judge asked Brown what about it? He dropped his head, moved uneasily and then finally said, "I had a run-in with her. She won't do her work." "What have you got to do with it whether she works or not? You are not her husband," said he. "I do everything that a husband would do," said Brown. "What's that?" said Judge Maurice. "I mean—" stammered Brown, but the Judge interrupted him. "I know what you mean—$25.00 fine and a bond of $100.00 that you keep the peace for twelve months." Brown went to the pen while the other man's wife left the courtroom. Brown had blundered. He told too much. WELL SPRING OF SYMPATHY. Judge John L. Ingram had about completed the docket last Tuesday, when a woe-begone individual, wearing a seedy overcoat was brought from the pen, under the name of William Manson. He was charged with being drunk. He was tall, and as he appeared a short, stout woman followed by four small children filed before the Judge with the promptness of soldiers, and stood around the mother, while all of them looked at the occupant of the bench, who held the fate of the husband and father in his hands. The officer related his story. He looked at Manson and listened to his recital. "I felt sick, Judge, and I went out and got me a bottle of beer. I wasn't drunk, I was sick." Judge Ingram into the appealing eyes of the wife and at the children. "Case dismissed. Don't you drink any more of that beer." He gave the prisoner the benefit of the doubt and the repeated "Thank you, sir," from the wife and children produced a smile upon the countenances of the Bailiff "Pop" Tate, thoughtful Clerk Tucker and well nigh all of the others who witnessed the occurrence. PRESS CALLED TO MEET. Nashville, Tenn.-An official call for the National Negro Press Association to convene in Louisville, Ky., April 11th to 14th, 1928, has been issued, signed by Benjamin J.

Events of the past few days clearly illustrate this trend. Noteworthy events in Athens, Georgia and Baltimore, Maryland, will be held in the face that the Shepherds are surely, building a great and nationwide organization destined to lead our people into the vanguard of economic progress. Grand Presiding Shepherd Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes and party paid an official visit to the Shepherds of Baltimore, Md., Wednesday night, February 22. In the party were the Grand Secretary-Treasure Amos C. Clark; Rev. A. D. Daly, member of the Advisory Board, Commissioner R. C. Mitchell, with Shepherd Fred D. Clark at the Chandler wheel. The party was cared for at the residence of Daughter Minor, of Industrial Fold. Here they met Deputy Frances J. Dias, who has accomplished wonders in this field. Industrial Fold was visited at night and many new Shepherds were inducted into the Fold by Secretary Clark. Grand Presiding Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes delivered a great address, outlining the program of the Shepherds. Baltimore will be heard from in a larger way because of the inspiration of her address. The nucleus of two Uniform Rank Companies was formed and we are looking forward to Baltimore as a Uniform Rank stronghold. Daughter Kulah N. Cunningham has planted the Shepherd's banner in the State of Georgia. Athens, Ga., all agog over her successful efforts in organizing a large Fold and also a splendid Juvenile these. Georgia now lines up with Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, the District of Columbia and Virginia in pushing the Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem into the front line of progressive fraternities.

Failed to Secure Writ -Restoring Them to Office-Will Carry Plea to Supreme Court of Virginia. PORTSMOUTH, VA., Feb. 24. The application of F. E. Puryear and Eugene West, Grand Vice-Chancellor and Grand Keeper of Records and Seal for a writ of mandamus against the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, reinstating them to the offices from which they had unlawfully removed, was heard here today in the Hustings Court of this city and the writ not granted. Attorneys W. W. Foreman and W. L. Davis, represented the complainants. This was the first case of this character ever brought in a Virginia court, and the defendants alleged that the complainants, Puryear and West, had employed an improper remedy and filed a demurrer to this effect and assigned four other grounds for demurrer such as, the court was without jurisdiction; that the complainants had not exhausted their remedy within the tribunals of the Order; that the papers were not served on the proper officers, etc. The court overruled the demurrer in less than a half hour's argument and citation of authorities, in support of the complainants' position. Took All Day. The case was argued on its merits, consuming all day with only 40 minutes recess for lunch. Each side had rested by 5 o'clock and the court began the summary immediately. It started out by saying that the issue was extremely close. The Judge consumed 50 minutes in delivering his opinion, in which he wavered from one side to the other, being extremely fair in his analysis. It was impossible to gauge what his final decision would be until about 10 minutes before he announced it. He had said during his remarks that Puryear and West had done nothing to be suspended for and that if they had been brought before the court in the first instance on the same charges they would not have been convicted. Judge's Rulings. He ruled that the Grand Lodge in this instance occupied the position of a petit jury and he didn't think it would be proper for his court, under the circumstances presented, to set aside the verdict of the jury. As to the fraternal procedure, as the Supreme Chancellor and the Supreme Attorney were present and saw what was done, it was hardly probable that men occupying such exalted positions would have approved of it if it had not been carried out in accordance with the rules and customs of the society. The complainants immediately noted an appeal from the decision not to grant the writ of mandanus and the case will be carried to the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia for a final adjustment and determination. Mrs. Belle Lewis of New York, and Mrs. Julia B. Games of Atlantic City, N. J. were here to attend the funeral of Mrs. Cora Boyler Taylor. You needn't be looking around. Funeral Director A. D. Price is ready for any business, at any place, and will render direct service, if proper time and notice are given. Funeral Director R. C. Scott is announcing his improved equipment and service. His employees have joined in a statement with a view to enlisting the support of their friends and acquaintances. Attorney William F. Denny has been indisposed during the past week to such an extent that he has been confined to his residence. OH! DON'T TELL ME YOU TRADED A GOOD POCKET KNIFE FOR A DOG WITH NO TAIL!

SATURDAY.....MARCH 3, 1928 Many people cannot get work, but many others can find money for voluntuous pleasures. You cannot argue with some people successfully. Time is lost in swapping words with them. People who strive to do right and to live the same way, find this life to be a "rocky road to Dublin." We are doing the best we can. The trouble of it is that some of our alleged friends are not doing the best they can. The disposition to avoid work is ever-present in the young. Most of them want to "live easy," although they are sure to "die hard." The latest information is that the Indians in Virginia are not antagonistic to the Negroes in this same State, Chief Cook to the contrary, notwithstanding. A committee of colored citizens submitted an enquiry to the Richmond City Democratic Committee to whether they would be permitted to participate in the local Democratic primary in April. Up to this time, no intimation as to the position of that organization upon this phase of the subject has been made known. We thought at the time that the submission of the question was a mistake and showed a weakness on the part of the questioners. It might have been submitted to the City Attorney or to the Attorney General of Virginia. The only thing to do is to comply with the requirements of the Democratic Party and proceed to exercise the right to vote. The matter then automatically comes before the Judge of the Hustings Court on an appeal and he will be ready at once to rule on the case. It is understood that the Supreme Court of the United States has already ruled on this question. So far as we are able to ascertain, many colored people are ready to vote for some one of the three candidates for the mayoralty and if talk means anything, that colored vote is badly split amongst all of them. Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri, has been making some "cracking good" speeches in Texas and in his brilliant outbursts of oratory has dwelt upon the sovereign right of the States and the disposition of the Federal Government to usurp the rights, privileges and prerogatives of these several confederations. A close analytical review of his vote in the United States Senate will show that his talk is one way and his actions another. He was mainly responsible for the refusal to admit the legally elected representative from Illinois, although his credentials were all right and under the law, he was in no way disqualified from entering upon his duties as United States Senator. Such inconsistencies as these nullify the words of a statesman, making them as "sounding brass andinkling cymbals." People lose confidence in the speaker and what he says goes in one ear and comes out the other. Senator Reed may reach the White House, but if $h_e$ expects his campaigning to bring about the result, both he and his friends will be sadly disappointed people. Gov. Alfred E. Smith has no such inconsistent record and yet many may vote against him for the reason that they do not believe that he will measure up to the full standard, where either whiskey or religion is involved. WONDERS "Can such things be, And overcome us like a Summer This is a century of wonders. Perhaps some of our readers have not followed the trend of the times or observed the astounding discoveries and practices of modern times. Jules Vernes, in his novels told about travelling under the waters of the sea. At that time, he had no idea that this dream would become a reality and that men in submarines would be able to sport in the mighty deep in a manner closely akin to that of the whale. The invention of the telephone, the use of the telegraph, the laying of cables thousands of miles across the seas were considered the last word in this kind of progress. Then came the wireless telephone, the writing on a typewriter in one city and by magnetic action the writing of the same letter hundreds of miles away, was considered remarkable. This has been superceded by other modern devices. Wires and cables are not essentially necessary to conducting a conversation over vast expanses of space. You can hear sermons, operas, conversations. In fact anything, even though it be thousands of miles away. More recently it has been discovered that a telephone can be utilized in conducting a conversation with Europe by the use of radio. Then has come to us a method by which pictures can be reproduced thousands of miles away without wires, simply by magnetic impulses. It is now possible to talk to a friend and relative hundreds of miles away and look into his face and note his every movement as he talks or sings in your ear and it is possible for him to hear and see the one, who may be talking to him. The aeroplane or monoplane, a heavier than air machine is now used and also the biplane, to carry passengers and mail hundreds of miles and the service is as prompt as that of the average railroad train and in Europe is just as safe. These air machines are driven at a rate of speed, sometimes which may well be said to be terrific and in special test flights they have exceeded two hundred miles per hour. This was wonderful in the air where no friction with the earth existed, but within the last two weeks an Englishman in an exhibition race with a specially built automobile made a record of 207 miles per hour on Daytona Beach, Florida. He was "gambling with death" so to speak, but he won the stakes. A New England owner has a dog that can talk very much like a parrot. The artists in the colored sheets of the metropolitan newspapers gave pictures of a mechanical man several years ago with the bracketed remark, "Brains he has nix". Now an inventor has shown up with a real mechanical man that when spoken to over a telephone in a certain tone will do what he is told to do, and notify his employer when the task is completed. He can turn the gas on or off and he can do the same with electric lights, and can perform other feats with remark able efficiency. He unveiled a monument of George Washington on Washington's birthday. The "lighter than air" ship is now a reality in being controlled and sent long distances. All modern conveniences are furnished aboard these air-liners. In fact, the monoplane and the dirigible are competing for practical service in the air. Despite all of this progress, no inventor has been able with nearly forty million dollars being expended annually to find a way to rigidly and effectively enforce the Volstead Act and the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. When held up at one corner, drums at the other. Similar conditions exist in the effort to carry into effect other needed reforms and it emphasizes the fact that the human race is as prone to sin as the sparks are to fly upward. Radio is said to be in its infancy. A light has just been completed in Chicago, which will be visible to the naked eye three hundred miles away and it is so powerful that a person thirty miles away can see plainly enough to read a newspaper by it. Our people might as well profit by this information. A generator, known as a fuelless motor has just been invented which will operate by the electricity which the earth itself furnishes and which will not cost anything. It is as free as the air we breathe or the water we drink from the brook. The difficulty now is to get a patent for the machine, but the development of this new invention is now being regarded with suspicion by those who are in the best position to know. The simple statement of the inventor and those who have inspected it is, "It works," and that is much more than some of these people hereabouts will do. The world of progress is moving and those of us who sit still or walk about satisfied to do our routine THE RICHMOND PLANET.

REV. BECTON EXPLAINS. Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 25, 1928. Mr. John Mitchell, 311 North Fourth Street, Richmond, Va. Dear Editor: Please do not think that my delay in sending answer to Dr. Morris's article of Jan. 7th is due to a lack of anxiety to touch it. I have been so heavily taxed for time in this meeting until other matters have had to go lacking. This truly has been the most remarkable revival of my experience, covering a period of time of seven weeks, with a total of 332 accessions to the churches. And among these converts were some who had not been inside of a church for fifteen year. We closed Thursday night. I am forced to take a period of res. before leaving for Atlanta. During my rest period I shall fix up the response to Dr. Morris's article Mrs. Becton wishes to be remembered to you most kindly. I am, Your Friend and Evangelist. G. WILSON BECT. N. GOVERNOR SAVEa LIFE Montgomery, Ala.—That justice does not always go astray where the rights of Negroes are concerned has been clearly demonstrated here by the action of Governor Bibb Graves in saving the life of Hayes Leonard, colored, convicted of a part in the murder of Judge Lamar Smith, of Wetumpka, Leonard, who confessed the crime, was sentenced to death, but on the eve of his execution the Governor committed his sentence to life imprisonment. Meantime Clyde Bachelor, Leonard's white employer, who had been convicted jointly with him for the crime, went to the electric chair some weeks ago. Bachelor confessed that he had forced Leonard to fire the fatal shot, and in consequence a number of prominent white people, including representatives of the Interracial Commission, united in a request for clemency for Leonard. The Pardon Board declined to recommend the commutation, but the Governor took the matter in his own hands and saved the Negro's life. ROANOKE NEWS ITEMS Rev. W. M. Jefferson, of St. Paul's M. E. Church, spoke last week in Bluefield, assisting Rev. Goins in a revival. The Rev. James S. Hatcher left at the end of the week to begin where Rev. M. M. Jefferson left off. Rev.

Richmond, Va., July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After wait up thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, travel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE Mr. L. J. Hayden, 224 West Broad Street.

I. on February 21-23 attracted representatives from all of the Negro schools in Virginia, public and private, urban and rural, which are doing any high school work. Some noteworthy features of the conference were: first the large number of those present to talk over common problems, to train and give inspiration to do work of a higher calibre in their respective schools; second, the need of standardizing the work in more high schools of the State; third, the necessity of standing for a standard elementary rural school so that the high school work could be based on a more secure foundation; fourth the high school as a means of training for something more than college entrance; fifth the need of better trained teachers and more facilities for the training of teachers; sixth the great need of more adequate salaries so that better equipped teachers may be attracted to teach in the rural as well as urban schools of the State; and, seventh, a better understanding among principals of the requirements for college entrance so that they may advise those students who wish to enter college. Supervisor W. D. Gresham, at whose call the principals had assembled, opened the conference on Tuesday evening in the Chapel. President J. M. Candy welcomed the delegates. State Superintendent Harris Hart spoke in an interesting and sincere manner, stressing the need of a standard nine months ern elementary school in rural Virginia. He also stressed the need of more adequately trained supervisors. Dean Florence V. N. I. I. spoke on Requirements for College entrance.

EMPLOYMENT FOR ALL. THOMAS EDISON A YOUNG MAN. 17,000 YEARS FROM STONE AGE "If a drop of salt water could talk it would tell the whole story of the Pacific." One Santa Fe freight train going through the Kansas City yards to Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas grain fields told the story of progress and prosperity in this country and promised a solution of its labor problem, aggravated by immigration restrictions. That train of thirty-one cars carried $250,000 worth of "Combine Harvesters" and will soon be followed by a thousand carloads of those labor-saving machines. They cut grain, thresh it, pile up the straw, delivering the grain in sacks or by spout to miniature grain elevators. In Kansas last year they saved the work of 40,000 men. Employment conditions are not satisfactory in New York State and Governor Smith instructs public officials to help "take up the shack" by putting men to work on public enterprises. That should be, automatically, part of National and State programmes. A farmer finds something for his farm hands and his own hands to do in Winter, when crops are in. A good farmer keeps his horses at work, earning their keep in Winter, hauling wood or otherwise. National and State governments, all needing roads, canals, drainage, all sorts of improvements, should find work for everybody willing to work, and at decent pay. Thomas A. Edison says he is really 162 years old, because he has done work every day, every week of his eighty-one years. He did ten thousand years' work when he changed man's lighting system from kerosene to electricity. His habit of working two days in one account for the face that mentally he is forty, not Follo Follow the Birds SEA GULL FLY OVER THE MAST I "Follow the Birds to Victoria" is a charming and apt slogan, for this Evergreen City of Canada is a city of flowers and birds.

Visitors coming from Southern California, where water is a special attraction, will marvel at the number of streams close to growth for water. number of stress creeks and tiny the creams close in the insurance growth for which these creeks are the eighty-one. An active mind stays young in man or woman. Women grow old, prematurely because badly organized civilization gives them nothing to do except talk and dress when their children are grown. Eskimos, within reach of civilization, sell their valuable furs to white traders and wear coats of leather and cheap, ready-made suits. They can sympathize with some farmers that sell cream and butter to cities and eat oleomarine. "Flaming youth," dancing, drinking or shooting worries other countries also. Lawyers from Japan, France and Britain are watching a Berlin murder trial, Hans Krantz, aged nineteen, helped his young friend, Scheller, and Scheller's sister, Hildegard, to pass an evening pleasantly with dancing, tobacco and much drink. Hildegard, only sixteen, smuggled a friend, Otto Stephan, into her bedroom, and Hans, attached to Hildegard, told the girl's brother he ought to kill Stephan. He did it, then killed himself. The question is, did Krantz commit murder when he told his friend, "Aveng your sister's honor by killing the man"? Americans talk today of many things—prosperity, politics, assorted crimes, sports. News that will interest future generations is the fact that actual moving pictures of human beings were sent through the ether, without wires, across the Atlantic Ocean. Human beings actually saw each other, separated by three thousand miles of water. If that is done by a race only 17,000 years from the Stone Age, who can doubt that a million years hence our race will see pictures, coming through the ether, of life on other planets. Mr. Bonfils, through his Denver Post, tells the world he wants "every family in the United States to own a home, automobile and radio," because "this would tremendously increase the happiness and prosperity of all our people." It would have seemed preposterous in Rome to suggest that anybody but the Emperor and a few of the great should own a bathtub. There was serious protest against installing the first bathtub in the White House, on the ground that it was not democratic. The Bonifas trinity of comfort—home, automobile and radio—tor for every family will be realized, plus free, in from worry in old age, more important than the other three. ards to Victoria, the Eve SULKS OVER MAST is noted, and the uneven shore line expanding into coves and bays, add to its attractiveness.

Pyorrhoea is one of the most common, as well as one of the more serious affections, furnishing as it does, a supply of infecting germs to many organs beneath. It should be prevented, if possible, by dye sanitary precautions within the area involved, your dentist being always your advisory license. Pyorrhoea means literally, a "wave of pus." Doesn't sound good about a fellow's mouth, does it? Precise to infect the food he consumes, absorbents of the intestine for distribution into the system. A good many bodily disorders are credited to pyorrhoea, rheumatism being one, if we indulge correctly. The site of pyorrhoea is at the junction of the gums with the teeth. If you look critically, you will see the angry, inflamed borders of the gums, darker red, and swollen appreciably. It is not a painful condition, but a little pressure on the gum will usually bring out the tell-tale discharge, and the diagnosis is easy. Perfect cleanliness is the best preventive. There are numerous good mouth-washes to be had, and tooth brushes galore. Don't use your own judgment buying either medicine or brush; ask your dentist—then keep the gums and teeth clean. Once with pyrorhoea, I cannot give you a technical remedy—but practically speaking, I have a friend who told me he cured his very severe case with common salt! He said he had it in its worst form; he was salting his cattle, and took a mouthful of salt himself to relieve a bad taste—hour—to his mouth a half-hour; said he cured himself in one month, using salt daily.

The perilous adventure was made in a stock La Salle roadster over the tiers and stringers of the Florida Coast's Overcess Railway, 60 feet above the rushing tide, the only route at present, leading to the island city. The drive, hailed by Florida automobile men as a rare exhibition of daring and sportmanship, was made to dazzle the trail of the new Overcess Highway tearing completion and at times paralleling the drives and to serve as the first car to complete the Southern part of the newly formed Atlantic Coastal Highway from Calais to Key West.

With out a clearance margin of 4 inches Nolan was obliged to race along to minimize bouncing on the ties. It was impossible to drive inside the guard rail as planned, and in order to keep on the ties Nolan was obliged to hug the ties while running over the frogs.

The automobile boobet like a ship at sea while crossing channel two and channel five to Long Key.
