THE RICHMOND PLANET WIFE DEAD; HUSBAND LEROY WINSTON CHARGED WITH MURDER!! TRAGIC HAPPENING IN SOUTH RICHMOND. Rev. Dr. T. J. King Preaches at the Fifth St. Baptist Church Noted Divine Delivers Two Sermons. Much Money Raised There. VOLUME XLV. NO. 20 WIFE CHA TRAG Accused M Rev. Dr. T the Fifth Noted Divin Much The Pew Rally at the Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday was a great success. The services of the former pastor, Rev. T. J. King, Dr. D., now pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, of Pittsburgh, had been secured and he preached two able sermons, one at 11:30 A. M., and at 8 P. M. He created a profound impression. There were large attendances at both services. The amount raised approximated twelve hundred dollars and it is expected to exceed this figure. Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris had charge of the services and expressed his satisfaction over the result of the effort. Rev. Dr. King spent several days here in the city visiting friends. He reported his family as being in a healthy condition. The madam weighs 240 pounds. The man took place Wednesday, 2 P. M., at the church and many were out to pay their last token of respect to this devout man, who was one of the founders of the church and one of its most influential officers. REV. DR. Z.

Simms, B. Th., Pastor. Rev. O. B. Simms, B. T. H., Pastor. Richmond, Va., March 20, 1928. Sunday was a great day in Zion, at 11:30 A. M. The pastor entered the pulpit and preached a wonder- ful sermon, using as his discourse, "Power." He illustrated how the church of God lost its power. At 8:30 P. M., Rev. Vanlaning- ham, from Fountain Baptist Church, delivered a message of high interest. The Gleaners Club, consisting all of little work, are doing splendid work for the church. In the last Rally they reported more than some of the other clubs. Brother Junius White, of 1119 Dennv St., is improving. Mrs. Jerome A. Deane, Reporter. FULTON NOTES Calvary had 12 conversions on last Sunday and Monday. The Rev. J. J. Woodson delivered a far searching sermon Monday evening. Our prayer services, led by Deacon Charlie Terrell, are greatly responsible for the spiritual atmosphere that is existing in our religious progress. The Rev. W. L. Tuck, his madam, Rev. C. B. Jefferson and Rev. Edward Charity were tendered a great reception on the 16th of March, at the home of Mrs. Mary Falls. The Gospel Baptist Church added 6 souls. Services were conducted by Rev. Tuck, assisted by Revs. Charity and Jefferson. On to Shiloh tomorrow. We anticipate a great time at our communion in the afternoon. The pastor will deliver the sermon, "Jesus Offered for Sale." Mrs. Celeste Cooley of 1803 Everett St. Southside is improving slowly after three weeks sickness. RICHMOND BAPTIST CHURCHES IN FLOURISHING CONDITION Ministers Make Encouraging Reports Monday marked a let-up in the strenuous program of the Minister's Conference of Richmond and Vicinity, the session being given to the reception of reports by the ministers. As the reports came in from all sections covered by the Conference membership, it developed that our churches, in spite of the alarmists' cry to the contrary, are not only holding their own, but are growing. If, as is claimed, a few have drifted away from the Baptist Church, they are those that the church can well do without and their going has increased the enthusiasm and deepened the spirituality of those who remained. Reports from our rural sections showed that the brethren who labor out in "the great open spaces" are doing splendid work in the Master's name. Though not as conveniently located, in reference to their charges, as the brethren of the city, yet such is their ability and devotion that their churches compare favorably with those in urban centers. The Rev. I. S. P. Robinson, while not in charge of a church at present, reported that he is being kept busy in the cause to which he has dedicated his life. Rev. Robinson, because of his years of service and splendid abilities, coupled with his Christian character, enjoys the respect and esteem of the ministry and churches of the city and State, hence he is not permitted to remain idle. The report was received with joy mingled with regret of the going of Dr. J. W. Dudley, pastor of Zion Baptist Church, of South Richmond, to a new field of labor in Camden, N. J. The Conference, upon learning of the call of Dr. Dudley, unanimously voted him a letter of commendation. The ministry of New Jersey will be the richer for the coming of this earnest champion of the righteousness. The report raises of their optimistic nature and because of the spirit of meekness and reverence on the part of the ministers who made them, and because each minister dis RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1928 MT. ZION A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Woman's Day, Sunday, March 11, was a great success. The programs at 3 P. M. by the girls and at night by the women were grand. The offering for the day totaled $156.55, $76.55 of which was brought in by the women. Last Sunday Mrs. Searight (white) delivered her message "Fishers of Men." It was great. Total offering $55.00. Come with us Sunday, which is Men's Day. At 11 A. M. Dr. Hatcher will preach; at 3 P. M. Judge Hart will speak; at night Dr. Dudley and Moore. Special music by Mt. Zion Choir, Twilight Sextette, and X. Y. Z. Quartette. The church has given the pastor a nice suit for Conference and shoes also. We hope to make a creditable increase. The whole city beseaches the Bishop to return Dr. and Mrs. Hatcher. Last week Dr. Hatcher spoke at the Gainsboro and Gregory Schools on "The Tragedy of Irreverence," and addressed the High School Parents and Teachers Association on "The Dynamic of Touch." It was a master plea for culture. Mr. David Fultz, of 10th avenue N. W., is indisposed. Mrs. Ella Rhodes, of Diamond Hill, N. E. is indoors. Hil, N. E., is intubosed. Mrs. Mattie Staples, of 715 Park street, has been quite sick. Mr. Arthur Bell, a watchman in the N. & W. service, captured a wild goose here Sunday A. M., whose ice-covered wing had rendered him unable to keep his flight with the gang, so he fell victim to Mr. Arthur Bell, who lives in the West End. In Re Alexander Taliaferre, Als Tyler, Colored. Washington, February 24, 1928. To the Chief of Police, Richmond, Va. Dear Chief: On the 15th of February, 1911, we transferred the above Alexander Taliafero, als. Alexander Tyler, a colored man, who was insane, from the St. Elizabeth's Hospital, this city, to your office where he was taken charge of by you or your predecessor, Major Werner. We have just learned from the above St. Elizabeth Hospital, this city, where the patient was at the time of his being returned to your city, that this patient left at the hospital, a watch and fob, which the hospital forgot to give us at the time of his transfer, and they are anxious to hocate this patient if possible, so his belongings can be returned to him or his relatives. Do you think there is any chance in your locating the above patient or his friends (we believe his relatives were dead at the time), so the above watch and fob could be returned to him. Mrs. Rachael Hall, of 2300 Old Dominion St. continues very sick. Chief of Police R. B. Jordan has received a letter from Oxford, North Carolina, inquiring about Ernest Crews, a 17-year-old boy, who, when last heard from, was in Richmond, Va. His father is dead and it is for this purpose, primarily, that this inquiry is sent out. Address. S. H. Hester, Oxford, N. C. claimed any credit for himself, but gave God the glory for the success of his church, cheered and encouraged the brethren who heard them. As the Conference adjourned, each member went away feeling that no matter what particular difficulties might present themselves on his respective field of labor, the Great Head of the Church is still "standing in the shadows, keeping watch over his own." O. B. Simms, B. Th., Reporter ATTORNEY DENNY'S LETTER. a new Fold last week on rhd rmw2 Attorney W. F. Denny's letter on another page refers to discriminating rates in the matter of insurance. The matter is more important than it appears upon its face. For example, one class of policyholders ten years of age upon the payment of five cents per week receives insurance protection to the amount of $40,000 while another class includes colored folks receives for the same amount paid $116.00. This is a difference of $47,00 on one colored policy holder and a difference of $47,000 on a thousand policy holders. MRS. ANNIE M. POPE TURNBO- MALONE Few women of the world have attained greater success and fame than has the subject of this sketch, Mrs. Annie M. Pope Turno-Malone, who founded Poro College and is the owner of this million dollar business with its home plant located at St Louis, Mo. Starting in a dream of early childhood, a tendency toward developing the profession of beauty and hair culture lingered with her until she finished school days and set out for a business career. Her first effort was made in 1900, in a humble way, in a rear room of a small frame building in Lovejoy, Ill., where she began manufacturing "Wonderful Hair Grower" and other preparations. The business grew and prospered under the wonderful directing genius of Mrs. Annie M. Pope Turno-Malone, the founder and proprietor, making it necessary for moving into larger quarters by 1902. Having a good article, giving the very best attention to every detail of her business, and displaying such rare qualities and executive ability, together with her pleasant and winning personality, made it necessary for still larger quarters to be secured; so in 1910 she secured 3100 Pine Street, St. Louis, Mo., a larger building, which served as her manufacturing and distribution plant until the new $1,000,000.00 Poro College was finished in 1918. This new Poro College, building the equipment, is one of the wonders of the world. Mrs. Malone will tell you about it in her own way and will feature it in movies for your entertainment and delight, and for the benefit of charity, at Reformer's Hall on North Second Street, Monday night, March 26, 1928, at 4 o'clock sharp in the museum. The program to two hours, making an evening of full measure of joy, comfort and pleasure. DO YOU KNOW HIM? DO YOU KNOW THEM? Oxford. N. C. CRIME AND PUNISHMENT. (Richmond Times-Dispatch, March 22, 1928.) A man is found guilty of killing a woman and is sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. A Negro woman is given thirty years for forgeries amounting in the aggregate to some $70. A man is found guilty of selling whiskey and is given a year or two years or more after he has been found guilty. A millionaire is found guilty of corrupting public officials and fraudulently obtaining public property valued at hundreds of millions. A sentence for contempt of court—not yet served—is the best the courts can do in this case after years of litigation. A Negro steals a ham and is put away for five years. What is the matter with us? Would a visitor from another planet have the slightest hesitancy in pronouncing us a nation of madmen? Have the rudest barbarians of darkest Africa any more insane system of disganging justice? There is some consolation to be found in the reaction of the public to the amazing conclusion of the Faison trial. On the streets, in clubs, in stores and offices and factories, men and women were agreeing that it was "absurd" and "ridiculous." Of course this does not explain how a jury made up of these same men and women could have reached such a remarkable decision. No explanation suggests itself. It was not a case of "extenuating circumstances." Faison did not claim the killing was justifiable; he stoutly maintained his innocence. Either Elsie Snipes was murdered or she committed suicide. The jury's duty was to decive which of these things happened, and to punish the murderer properly if the evidence convinced them beyond reasonable doubt of his guilt. If Faison was innocent—if he was not plainly guilty—it was a terrible injustice to brand him with this crime, quite aside from the injustice of depriving him of his liberty for one day or hour. If he was guilty—and the jury reported that he was guilty—sentencing him to serve until October 12th for his crime is the most astounding action ever taken by a Richmond jury. Rev. R. W. Coleman, corresponding secretary, Educational Board, of Birmingham, Ala., was in the city this week and called on us. He was enroute to Winston-Salem, from which place he will go to Washington, D. C.

MOND. or Whiskey (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) It is charged that Lelia Winston was beaten up and killed by her husband, Leroy Winston, at their residence, 402 East Maury Street, South Richmond, Saturday night, March 24th. He was arraigned in the Police Court, Southside, Judge H. A. Maurice presiding. He is now in the City Jail. Calling to see him last Monday and talking to him through the door of the prison, he said: "It happened Saturday night about 8 o'clock, as near as I can get at it. The way it happened, she said that she was going on the street and make marketing. Bought Whiskey. "She went out on the street and instead of buying groceries she bought whiskey and drank it up. I had given her five dollars, I went in the street and found that she was coming home drunk. I opened the door and let her in and I took and hit her while she was coming in. After she got inside she started to fight me, time I said something to her about how she had acted. Then I started to fight her. I hit her in the mouth with my fist. I did not strike her with anything else. She had one scar on her leg, but I don't know how it got there. Fell to the Floor. "After she fell to the floor I took her up and put her on the bed. Then she shewed up on the sheet and there was blood on the sheet. When she got up she fell on the floor. While she was lying there I took the sheet off the bed and put on a clean sheet on the bed. After I put her back on the bed she told me to wipe her mouth. I got in the bed then and went to sleep. When I awoke I found her dead. I went around the house and to Mrs. Eldridge and told her my wife was dead. She camp around to my house. She said she was dead sure enough. Told the Neighbors "Then she went out and told the neighbors. I told her we got to fighting in there. I hit her in the mouth and cut her lip. She fell on the bed. I work at Miller Manufacturing Company. I was born in South Richmond. I have a sister, Cerrie Winston, and a brother, James Winston. My wife was born in South Richmond. She has a sister named Annie May Clark." This ended his statement. Willie Riggins was there cutting the hair of one of the prisoners with clippers. I asked him how he held the razor in order to deal such a deadly blow. He suggested that I bring, down a razor and he would show me. I concluded that I would get the information elsewhere. On last Wednesday morning he said in the Police Court that he could not tell just how he held it, as it was done so quickly. There are many versions of the matter, the generally accepted one being that he opened the blade back to the handle and dealt the blow. Biggs has two slight cuts in the palm of his right hand. The hollow-ground part of the blade was broken off, but the entire blade remained intact and was not separated from the handle. WOMEN—Barn $16 dozen sewing at home. Experience unnecessary.

GIRL ~ HOW MANY TIMES HAS THAT PIANO TUNER BEEN HERE THIS WEEK? FOUR TIMES SO FAR PA! 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 rebelling against the tyranny of printings and grands casting draught 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 deader the emotions. The piano as a messenger of harmony becomes an anachronism when it clauses STRANGE THOUGH; IT SOUNDS O.K. TO ME! WHEN HE'S PLAYING IT, SURE rather then blends with the beauty of its surroundings. "So the modern housewife selects her piano to conform with the latest trends in furniture style. If she tears toward period furnishings and acruns her living room with Louis XIV, Empire or Early American pieces, she has her choice of these designs in the period cases cevering the instruments of today. Thus the ensemble of her home interior synchonizes perfectly. "Blending of pianos with home dec- ation is being hastened the introduction of new colors. The trinity of mahogany, ebony, and cane is being gradually succeeded by delicate pastel shades to match the color effects of the modern living room.

SATURDAY.....MARCH 24, 1928 Honesty pays best after all, although thousands of people believe that the crooked road is the sure route to prosperity and happiness. Some white people are getting out of the Democratic party hereabouts and some Negroes are going into the same organization. Some Negroes are getting out of the Republican party hereabouts and some white people are going into the same organization. Whiskey tends to make you forget your troubles for the time being, but it causes them all to come back twice as large as before, when the effect of the narcotic has worn off. If you do not believe it, try it. An empty pocket book will be the first thing to confront you. REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION The Republican State Convention met last Saturday in Roanoke, Va., and it is estimated that approximately 1,000 white people attended the meeting as delegates. Whether they were elected by the Republicans of Virginia or not, they were there, and they constitute the supposedly vital forces, which are to resuscitate the Republican party in this State. The colored folks were few and far between and those who were in the meeting "roasted low" and their voices were not heard. The principles enunciated were all right, even though the observance of them by these gentlemen might be all wrong. Leading Democrats are now coming to regard these kind of Republican meetings as a healthy omen. Many Democrats, who are disappointed and disgusted with their own party managers can make threats with something to back up those threats. Col. Henry W. Anderson, who has always been, and in his fundamental principles is a Democrat of Democrats, is serving the purposes of this class of Democratic leaders. They have no idea that the State will go Republican under his leadership, but they use him and his associates to force the Democratic leaders to conform their ideas to those which they favor. The short ballot advocated by the Democratic machine, will tend to relieve the tension and will no doubt serve to nullify the action of the Democrat-Republicans who control the Republican party in this State. There is one thing which has been overlooked, and that is that this new movement inside of the Republican party will result in its disintegration, the creation of a reactionary element inside of that party closely akin to the same element inside of the Democratic party. It seems to us that we are rapidly approaching the place and time when the citizen of color will be a potential factor in both of the political organizations, if he will organize and act under intelligent, shrewd, quick-witted leaders. For this purpose there should be a leader for the Republican contingent and a leader for the Democratic contingent, or a leader for both contingents, swinging as independents between both of the political organizations, throwing their strength to that side which will benefit the people as a whole, not the individual most in the final settlement of the contest. The game of politics is an intellectual one. Where is there here an able, honest, conscientious group of colored leaders who can play it? We shall see. NANNIE H. BURROUGHS IN THE LIME-LIGHT We have read with genuine regret the very able, but caustic reply of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs to the announcement of President L. K. Williams, of the National Baptist Convention, as to his proposed course in dealing with the National Training School of the National Baptist Convention, which school is now functioning under the leadership of this remarkable woman in the District of Columbia. In her communication, which constitutes one of the ablest defenses of her position that we have up to this time read, she says much that she had better left unsaid. We can in a measure understand this—she is a woman, and some men are possessed of this failing to a remarkable degree. We think we understand the situation to some extent and it is closely analogous to the unfortunate condition, which resulted in a costly litigation between this same National Convention and the Boyds Publishing House in Nashville, Tenn. Miss Burroughs has needed money to operate this school and could not find it in the coffers of the National Baptist Convention. This necessitated her making sacrifices, of which the public will never know or be fully able to appreciate. In doing this, she had to sacrifice her home, comforts, salary and what-not, traveling night and day for a cause which she loved so well. She now sees, or thinks that she sees, an effort to dispessess her, to take over an institute that she has been mainly instrumental in keeping alive. The question arises as to whether in doing this she will be safeguarded in old age as a result of a life's work, or whether "a new king will arise that knew net Joseph." As in the case of the Boys at Nashville, we sympathize with her and believe that some way should be found, some agreement reached without a resort to abuse or passion, to the end that the Williams plan may be put into operation. We see, or think that we see, and understand the purpose of this great Baptist divine at Chicago, who is endeavoring to make a gigantic operating financial machine, and to run it along the lines of some of the great white commercial bodies, which have achieved success in this country. Still, it will not do to arbitrarily or summarily crush workers of the kind and type of Nannie H. Burroughs. She is a strong-minded woman, but we believe that her motives are pure. There is some sinister significance in her statement that she has kept the three wings of the denomination, Lott Carey Convention, unincorporated Convention and the incorporated Convention, together on the Training School question. This means that, even though one of these has marked time, she still has the encouragement and support of the other two. Last, but not least, she announces that the trustees of the school are not going to change the charter to have it conform to the wishes and desires of the National Baptist Convention, over which President L. K. Williams presides, until the Woman's Convention and the National Baptist so decrees, but she nullifies this in a further statement, which specifies that even this action must be supplemented by an order from the Supreme Court of the United States. The logical deduction is that she had a second thought coming after she had made up her mind and is now determined to fight even in the courts after she has been safeguarded and paid past due salary of sixteen thousand dollars. If Miss Burroughs does not mean this, what deductions are we to draw from the language used by her? We are of the opinion that this stinging reply of this brilliant woman was made in the heat of passion and was not culled and "blue penciled" after this state of affairs had subsided. She has many friends in this country. She should not estrange them. Far better would it be for the National Baptist Convention to organize its own training school at some other point, following the policy adopted at the publishing house in Nashville, than to have to our credit another long-drawn fight with a brilliant female leader crushed in an effort to continue to maintain the control of her life's work. Evidently, the National Baptist Convention leaders are not trusted by her, and she is not fully trusted by the National Baptist Convention leaders. It may be that we shall have more to say upon this all important subject. Let abuse and recriminations be avoided. Let us have peace.

One machine does the knitting for ten thousand women, one locomotive pulls the load of a thousand stage coaches, replacing 1,000 drivers. ** The perfected machine will not be an imitation man standing upright on two legs. That position man achieved to look out over high grass for enemies and prey, in the beginning, and to look up at the stars later. Mechanical men can be only an interesting curiosity, not an industrial success. Science improves on nature and does not imitate it, the ultimate flying machine without bird wings or methods will prove that. --- From a big orange tree in Southern California the Riverside Chamber of Commerce sends 126 oranges to as many newspaper editors.

Dr. Wm. M. Scholl of Chicago, noted foot scientist, said yesterday. "With increasing traffic congestion and 25,000 persons in the United States were killed by automobiles last year—good feet and legs must be recognized as important factors of safety in driving," Dr. Scholl declared. "A fast foot, one of the commonest physical disabilities does not respond to training and does not respond. It cannot be relied on for the quick precision needed to avert a sudden accident. "One million people were more or less seriously injured by automobiles last year. Every faculty, every muscle of the limbs must be in conduction to avoid motor crashes. But it is impossible for a man with ailing or badly deformed feet to be a thoroughly safe driver. Sooner or later its feet will fail to respond properly. He will lose that split fraction of a second that spells safety. Such a man is really incapacitated for the whole nervous system is impaired by the traction on ankle foot. It is extremely good strong feet and is strong in modern traffic. When a man suffers an accident it is reflected all the "Washington navy tree" that make up great groves in Southern California. *** Similarly, a few cherry trees, brought by Lucullus from his wars in Asia, are the ancestors of millions of cherry trees that small American boys climb every year. Such are the wealth and generosity of Nature. Mr. Rogers at Muscle Shoals inspects with his mournful cowboy eye a $150,000,000 plant built by the people to produce nitrogen to supply cheap fertilizer for farmers, and explosives in case of war. --- Mr. Rogers reprints that such a plant lying idle is enlightening. It means that the Government isn't able to plant the plant over to the power trust. --- And until the power trust gets the muscle, the muscle also uses the Muscle Shoals plant. ```markdown ``` Thanks to Musaolini's common sense, a new law compels merchants in Italy to mark prices plainly and stick to the prices. That will increase foreign buying, especially by Americans who do not like to pay double or devote half an hour to bargaining over a trifle. Merchants in Italy won't like it, but their business and prosperity will increase. *** Machinery will be devised eventually to do the so-called back breaking farm work that proud United States citizens, accustomed to their automobiles, no longer will do. But nothing should be done too suddenly, unless the Government is willing to precipitate hard times over a wide area. ```markdown ``` Newspapers tell of a baby "dead ten times." Ten times in its short five weeks of life the baby's heart stopped beating in a struggle against pleuro-pneumonia. Ten times it was revived and it probably will live. The doctors did wonders. There is just a line about the mother. Still weak, following the mother's will, she bleed her blood in transfusion to save her baby's life. Her name is E. G.

GOOD FEET ARE AS ESSENTIAL AS GOOD EYES CORRECT USE BALL OF FOOT in his general condition. There is an intimate relation between the nerves of the feet and legs and the great nerve center in the small of the back. Foot sufferers often complain of leeches and back aches. When such persons are exhausted by constant motoring, they will perform less reliably on the brake and throttle than those whose feet are normal. The ball of the foot should be used to operate the clutch and brake pedals. Scroll in this position one has access to the best and most elastic muscles in the feet. If the pedals are pushed down by the toes the result is analogous to a change in function, for it forces the toes backward attaching the metatarsal area. With the pedals directly under the arch of the foot, treads run THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. Strange as it may seem, the disgusting habit of masticating "the weed," is more seductive, more tenacious in its hold on the chewer, and, in some ways, less harmful to him, than the more elegant custom of smoking, to which society is much more tolerant. In this article, I shall try to illustrate, not the effects of the nicotine, but the perversion of human saliva from its normal function—more deleterious than the tobacco alkaloid involved. This is the chief trouble from chewing tobacco. The saliva is a natural fluid, secreted by the glands, for a definite purpose —to balance the acid gastric juice. The chewer wastes it by his successive expectoration. If he chews before breakfast, so much the worse—he is sure of excess of acid for the digestion of this highly important meal. Prolonged state of this normally alkaline saliva being thrown away, the victim discovers himself to be a dyspeptic with chronic acid stomach. Sourness, gas eructations, inability to digest fatty foods, and even burning pain are evidences of the trouble. It is not the nicotine, but the lost saliva that produces the condition; chewing any other thing, and spitting out the saliva, would doubtless cause, as much trouble. The victim seldom lays his trouble to the tobacco. Excess of acids will in time corrode the wall of the stomach and produce ulcer. A patient of mine once relieved all his stomach distress by stopping short on the chew within the hour before and after meals. I once saw a chap of 101 years who had been "livered" since he could renalize, never chewed before, and never nor to excess any other. I once saw the better way to nourish him in the mouth on an eating use, but good wholesome in preparation; but the aged brother who chews, must be borne with in charkha. GOOD ON FEET- BAD ON CAR WROG- PUSHES TOES BACK lists will find relief. The upward pressure not unlike that of an iron support is comforting. The throttle should be operated from the ball of the foot, too. "A woman driver who wears narrow high-heeled, crimping shoes often falls to put the feet gradually on the throttle. She puts a jerky, spasmoid pressure on the gas. Her feet are not under perfect control. It is almost impossible for a woman who has fallen the arches of her feet to drive with complete safety in heavy traffic. People should wear sensible shoes in driving and keep their feet in good condition. It is important that they always use a safety belt.

Spring is a resurrection of nature, and human nature also awakens to new hopes. A story of a benign season is given when the rising of the sap signifies that budding of the tap when the rivers sing a song of feeding and the birds add their songs to the voices of little children in streets or country lanes. Though Spring and Beauty can be found everywhere, it is in the country that it is ideal. Here one can watch the tilling of the soil, the plowing and planting that the earth may yield for the needs of man Nova Scotia is delightful for there "Has Perfect Feet," Says Dr. Scholl. NEW YORK—Dr. Otto Pelitzer, Europe's greatest runner who defeated Paavo Nurmi, and other Continental Champions, wears 13A shoes, according to Dr. Wm. M. Scholl, famous orthopedist of Chicago, who was host to the German Ace during his Chicago visit. "He has about the most perfect feet of any runner I have ever seen," said Dr. Scholl. "The long narrow foot and high arch gives him that magnificent springy stride and powerful leverage. It enables him to run long distances at high speed without tiring. All muscular attachment allows the leg muscles can be traced to their joints. They are splendently balanced and coordinated. His feet are normal in every respect and are takes good care of them, raising on the toes repeatedly to strengthen the longitudinal arch." the bustle and stress of our modern era does not exist.

There is no part of Nova Scotia more permeated with poetic legend and historic lore than the Annapolis Valley, Windsor. Grand Pre and Gasperse. They were centers of events in the early history of the North American continent, for French explorers visited this section as far back as 1604.

At the Chateau Frontenac one is transported into past decades, seeing the work of the habitants as they ploy their shuttles of distaff. The musical programs are those of the early French Canadians, habitant melodies, brought over originally by the French of early tays.

I lost three yards on each turn and had to make it up on the straightway. It was very discouraging. On outdoor tracks we have about eight turns to the mile. I'll give Ihanna and the other boys a great race at the Olympics." Sports writers in New York have conceded that the short turned twins in no small way paved the way for Dr. Petitzer's defeat at the finish. There are twenty-two turns to the mile figured at a loss of three yards per turn shows that the German Ace knew what he was talking about. He is unusually modest, 30 years old and has a most plump personality.

Many striking testimonials from the Secretary of War and Army officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms.

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 predation come true.

Deputy Berkley has only eighteen more members to get before she will have secured the number asked for by the Grand Shepherd in the headquarters membership drive. Deputy Ella M. Thompson is the nearest approach to the number of members expected from the workers on this membership drive. She has to secure only two more to place her at the goal. Shepherd F. E. Lightner made good his pledge by reporting seven members to his credit on the 21st at Ebenezer Baptist Church. This leaves only forty-three more to be secured by him. Rev. A. D. Daly cut down his quota by four, making a total of six members reported by him in this drive. He has only forty-four more paces to go before reaching the goal. Daughters Lelia Wynn has to her credit in this drive seven members. She and Shepherd Lightner lay claim to the same order of standing in the campaign. The Grand Shepherd is in the midst of her workers, giving advice and enthusiasm and setting the pace for all of her workers in this drive. The following workers are contributing to this drive by putting in new members, namely: F. J. Dias, F. J. Fischer, M. Milton, J. Williams, Charles McClaiborne, Jillie Baskerville, R. C. Mitchell, Kulah N. Cunlugham, Amos C. Clark, E. O. Lewis, Mary Crump, Mary Crawford. The meeting on the 21st was a huge success. Much interest and enthusiasm were manifested. A prize will be awarded next Wednesday night to the person bringing in the highest number of members over five. Every week thereafter a prize will be given to the successful canvasser. Deputy Mary E. Freeman sent in a very fine report on the sale of lodge supplies for the month. She is the leading saleslady in our Order and sells more supplies than any other Deputy.

At eight-thirty o'clock the edifice was filled to its capacity with old and new members. Rev. R. S.

With every event systematically arranged receiving reports, Mrs Bankett proceeded to call the roll of the various local lodges and nurseries. It was inspiring to listen to the responses which netted the organization 861 new members. Mesdames M. S. Payne, S. B. Cogbill, O. W. Smith and Susie E. J. Grant, the efficient clerical force; deputies J. R. Hicks, T. L. Beverly and B. W. Perkins, with others assisting, handled the reports with satisfaction and rapidity. The general committee comprised the local deputies, associate deputies, counselors, guardians and the office force, all of whom contributed largely to the success of the effort. Mrs. Sarah Tunstall, of Hanover County, accompanied by a large number of her members, and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Carter, of Glen Allen, Virginia, were present and made encouragements. Other speakers were: Mr. Jno. S. Powell, Dr. W. H. Smith, and Rev. R. H. Johnson.
