THE RICHMOND PLANET MARY A. EPPS CHARGED WITH MURDER Bessie Allen Dies at St. Phillip's Hospital-Shot Mch. 19. One More Is Added to Long List of Tragedies Here. VOLUME XLV. NO. 24 MARY A. EPPS Bessie One Mo JUDGE J. C. Robe Mary A. Epps, age 26 years, who resides at 35 West Jackson Street, was in the Police Court last Thursday morning upon the charge of shooting and killing Bessie Allen, who resides at 615 St. James Street and who died at St. Philip's Hospital last Wednesday morning. It seems that there is no evidence that Mary A. Epps did the shooting or that she even had a revolver in her hand at the time. The unfortunate affair took place Saturday night, March 18th, at 35 West Jackson Street, where Mary A. Epps resides. There were eight or nine persons in the room at the time. Bessie Allen grabbed the lamp and threw it, striking Mary A. Epps. The room was shrouded in darkness when she was shot and no one has come forward to say definitely who fired the shot. In her statement, Bessie Allen said that she believed Mary A. Epps shot her. Bail was allowed in the sum of $5,000. Coroner Whitfield said that Bessie Allen was shot in the left side between the hip and the armpit. The intestines were perforated and she died from blood poisoning. SHEPHERDS' NOTES Headquaters membership drive is in the last swing. The reports made at the last weekly meeting, which was on the 11th, smashed all records. The Folds of the city are lining up with this drive, which is reflected in the increased number of members that are reported at our weekly meeting. Every Fold, officer and member in Richmond and vicinity should contribute to this campaign. Let the Folds of the West End, East End, Central Richmond, South Richmond vie with each other gathering in the lost sheep of the Fold. Come on, Woodsville, Washington Park and Providence Park, and line up with this forward movement. We are now holding our weekly meeting at headquarters on every Wednesday night. We will have our secretaries on hand on the regular weekly meeting nights during the ten nights bazaar to receive reports from our workers. The bazaar is creating a great deal of interest. More than three thousand tickets have been distributed and we are continually receiving calls for more. From April 24th to May 4th the northeast corner of East Leigh Street will be aglow with all kinds of Shepherd activities. You will enjoy yourself with our twenty-five features. Fun, joy and hilarity will reign supreme. You may win a prize. Gold prizes for ticket sellers, gold music every night. St. Lelia's Juvenile was the first among our children to hold their meeting at headquarters on the 13th. It was a happy bunch of boys and girls. This Juvenile is under the supervision of Matron Lelia A. Wynn, who knows how to handle children as well as adults. Her children as well as adults. Her the first meeting in our new headquarters. Sojourner Truth Fold held its bi-monthly meeting in the Shepherds building on the 16th. A large attendance was in evidence. St. Elizabeth Fold, No. 219, held a very good meeting on the 17th. A nice collection of the Welfare Fund was reported, and Grand Recording Secretary, Mrs. M. E. Cousins, issued a warning to all the Folds that it was the intention of her Fold to wrest from Philadelphia Zion Travelers Fold, No. 273, or any other Fold the first place for reporting the largest amount of money to First Sergeant Sanders Wood' originally of Scottsville, Va., after serving in the United States Army for thirty years is now in this city at 1207 1-2 St. John Street with General Order No. 11 in his pocket, retiring him from service and with words of commendation from his commanding officer, of which any person, civilian or soldier would rightly be proud. In signing the order, Major Whipple, by order of the commanding general at West Point, N. Y., pays him the following glowing tribute: "It is desired to direct the attention of the command to the excellent record of this non-commissioned officer. The outstanding qualities have been his marked attention to duty and his loyalty to his commanders and to the organization in which he served. His entire thirty years service have been unmarried by any absence without leave or court-martial: he has well earned his retirement. The best wishes of the garrison are extended to him for his continued success and prosperity in retired life. "By command of Major General Smith". Sergeant Wood enlisted in the Army at 6th and Broad Streets in 1898 and has seen service all over the world, so to speak. the Welfare Department. the Welfare Department. Mrs. Mary E. Freeman, of Philadelphia Zion Travelers, reports a handsome sum collected this week in this Fold for the Welfare Department, and is on its way to the home office. She says that this Fold has just begun to work and that there are very slight chances of any other Fold enjoying the honor of first place any more while this fund is being collected. Clark's Invincible Fold has not spoken lately on this subject. Let us see what next week will develop. Deputy Freeman issues a challenge on the part of her Juvenile, Buds of Promise to the other Juveniles of the Brotherhood, as to when one will make the largest contribution to the Welfare Department. The minds of the officers and members of the Folds of Richmond are gradually being turned to our annual excursion which will go to Bay Shore July 17, 1928. It is believed that this will be the biggest and best excursion of the season. Rev. A. D. Daly, the officers of Pride of Richmond, St. Peters and Reviews Folds are working zealously to make Shepherds day and night at Fifth Baptist on the fifth Sunday a big success. Don't forget the date and place. Let every Shepherd be present. Our distinguished head, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, will have a special message for you. A grand street parade will precede the program. The great day of beauty, pomp and splendor is drawing nigh, the second Sunday in June, when the Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem will turn out en mass at Mosby Memorial Baptist Church, corner of Idlewood Avenue and Randolph Street. Keep it in your mind and be ready for it. It is very painful to announce to you the going of these faithful members of our Order in the past thirty days: Bill Bailey, Spring Mills, Va.$100.00 Walter Meadows, Red Star, W.

J. Hayden, 224 W. Broad St., Richmond, Va. I have found your ad in the Richmond, Va., paper (The Planet) and desire to take a trial treatment of your medicine, so I am asking your advice in my case: My case is an ulcerated sore leg. I have tried several doctors and many kinds of medicines. Some of them do good for a while and then stop healing it. I bruised my leg in 1918 and it has not been well since. Sometimes it seems as though it will get well and then break out again. My age is -63. My occupation is farming. Now, if you think your medicine will do me any good, please send me a trial treatment to Bank of British, West Africa, of Monrovia, Liberia, Africa, and I will try it according to the direction, and if it does me good I will have you send me some more. My address is Johnsonville, Mon My address is Johnsonville. Tom Love, please let me hear from you. Love, please let me hear from you. STILL QWES HER James Robinson, 33 years of age was charged with assaulting Bessie Redd. She called to him for the payment of money due her. Instead she said he spoke insultingly to her and assaulted her. Robinson, who lives at 136 Wood Street, says he told her he did not have any money. When Judge Ingram fined him last Tuesday morning he counted out from a roll of bills and then walked nonchalently out of the court room Bessie got satisfaction and the Police Court got the money. As for Robinson, he still owes her. Mrs. Rose Jackson left the city today (Saturday) for her home in Philadelphia after spending one month here attending the bedside of her sick mother. Up-to-date service and reasonable prices have made "Old Colony" a watch-word. 402 N. Sixth Street is the place. Stop in and help yourself. Judge John L. Ingram returned to the bench at the Police Court last Monday morning, much improved in appearance after a week of illness. THIRD ST. BETHEL A. M. E. IN QUARTERLY CONFERENCE Sunday, April 22, 1928 will be Quarterly Conference at Third St. Bethel A. M. E. Church. The Presiding Elder, Rev. A. J. Notingham will preach morning and night.

A program will be rendered by the King's Daughters on the fourth Sunday night. CITY-WIDE CLEAN-UP AND PAINT-UP MOVEMENT—APRIL 21 TO MAY 5 In accordance with the accepted practice advocated by the Negro Organization Society and the Negro Health Week Officials of having our people in the cities observe a spring clean-up period at such time as will permit them to secure the largest possible assistance from city officials, and enjoy the spirit of unity which is necessarily stimulated by a health movement which includes all the people, let us join heartily with our City Chamber of Commerce in the Clean-Up and Paint-Up Campaign, April 21 to May 6. M. B. L. JORDAN, secretary-manager of the Southern Aid Society, has been appointed chairman of the colored department, and Mr. L. C. White, Field Secretary of the Negro Organization Society, has been appointed vice-chairman of colored work. The movement has already been endorsed by our Ministerial Conference and each member of that body will make some reference, in his sermon on Sunday, April 22nd, to the fact that "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." Work To Be Doed. Monday, April 23rd—Will be Fire Prevention Day, during which we will clean up our basements and attics of rubbish, greasy rags and waste paper, remembering that "all fires are the same size at the start." Tuesday, April 24th—Will be from Todd Day, on which we are to cut lawns, prepare gardens and flower beds for planting, clean walks and gutters and salt cants in sidewalks to exterminate ants. Wednesday, April 25—Dandelion and Flower Bed Day, when everyone is urged to dig dandelion, exchange plants, plant beds and trim shrubbery. The dandelion pest has decreased perceptibly in the last three years, let's keep up the fight. Thursday, April 26th—Paint Day, paint and brighten up inside and out, porches, fences, woodwork, screens and porch chairs, remembering that, "a little paint works wonders." Friday, April 27th—Back Yard Day—Clean alleys, repair fences and sheds, screen garbage cans and put fly traps on them. Put up screens and plant gardens. Saturday, April 28th—Vacant Lot Day—Everybody join in and help school children clean vacant lots and remove tin cans, paper and dead weeds. Plow and plant garden plots wherever possible. CONCRESS RAILROAD TIFICATES READY Railroad identification certificates for the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are now ready for distribution. Messengers are again reminded that they cannot get the benefit of the reduced rates unless they present one of these certificates to their local ticket agent when they go to purchase their tickets. In towns and cities where there are four or five churches or more it is essential that one person be designated to order certificates for all the messengers. Heretofore we have had several different people ordering certificates from the same city; this causes us to furnish some cities a greater number of certificates than they really need. We desire every person to have a certificate who is entitled to one, but it is too expensive to print certificate to supply an unnecessary demand. Send application for railroad identification certificates to the Congress Headquarters, 409 Gay Street, Nashville, Tennessee. E. W. D. ISAAC, Director General. EDITOR YOUNG WILL SPEAK HERE Editor P. B. Young, of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, will speak Monday, April 30, 1928, at the Moore Street Baptist Church, 8 P.M., with Mr. Grover C. Grant representative of his journal as master of ceremonies. Rev. Dr. Gordon B. Hancock will address the speaker. A most interesting program has been arranged. ANOTHER ENTRANCE The management at the Mosque Theatre has arranged still another entrance for colored patrons. In addition to the Cherry Street entrance, the large double doors on the north side of the structure are now open and patrons can come down Laurel Street and enter. The ticket booth has been moved up to the floor above and the arrangement is in every respect similar to the Main Street entrance. A large electric light has been installed and the distance from Laurel Street to the northside entrance is no further than from the Laurel Street to the Main Street entrance. Berkley McCargo and Albert Brown, who were caught inside of U.S. Illman's grocery store, March 2, 1928, were sentenced to three years each in the penitentiary, although no goods were missing. It is alleged that they had not had time to rob the place. James Clark, a colored man, 37 years of age, was given three years in the penitentiary for striking and killing Harold A. Sullivan (white) with his truck while Sullivan was getting into his automobile. It was claimed that he did not stop after the accident. Counsel for Clark noted an appeal. The Union Life Insurance Co. has leased the entire seventh floor of the Law Building at Eighth and Main Streets and the company is growing with "leaps and bounds." It makes absolutely no discrimination, either legally or illegally, in dealing with its large number of policy-holders and it has won the confidence of the people of the State. Colored people are taking out insurance right along and the prompt payment of claims has served to increase the ardor of this class of people. Polite attention and prompt service are the watch words. The public is invited to call and take out additional insurance. Phone in your name and address and an agent of the company will call and see you. HELP WANTED FEMALE LADIES—Good pay for plain machine sewing, easy, spare time. No selling. Stamped envelope brings particulars, Agee Dress Co. Terminal Annex Building, Philadelphia, Pa. The boy was in a hurry. He had to get back to breakfast. He had been told to buy some of those choice "cuts" from the Old Colony Market and he was anxious to do so. His mouth was "watering" for some of it. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. DER Mch. 19. es Here. ATT'Y. of the City.

BLACKWELL WINS Prof. James H. Blackwell is delighted over the following report of his son's success in Chicago during the recent primary election there. George W. Blackwell, Negro lawyer who was nominated for the Illinois legislature from Chicago in the primary Tuesday, was born and raised in Richmond. The nomination is said to be equivalent to election. Blackwell is the son of Professor J. H. Blackwell, manager of the Inter-State Teachers' Association, who for many years was connected with the public schools of Richmond. George W.

Resides at 3000 S. State St. JOE CARTER GIVEN FIVE YEARS Joe Carter, who shot and killed Mike Ellis at his residence, 411 N. First Street, December 17, 1927, was tried in the Hustings Court, last Tuesday and upon his plea of guilty to voluntary manslaughter was sentenced by Judge W. Kirk Mathews to five years in the penitentiary. Attorney J. R. Pollard was tried in the United States District Court here, Judge Lawrence D. Groner presiding under an indictment charging him with charging more than the law allows for legal services in connection with the Veterans' Bureau when rendering service to the demented uncle of Dr. W. J. Pettis. The Richmond, Va., News Leader published an account of the affair and Attorney Pollard complained to that paper about it because it did not state the amount of the fund, $940.00, and did not announce that the excess fee was $15.00. He stated that Judge Groner said that the charge of $100.00 was not unreasonable, but the statute provided only $10.00 for such services and a penalty was attached for charging any more than this amount. When Pollard paid the $15.00 as a refund, Judge Groner remitted the fine of $50.00, which he had imposed, the sentence having been given with the proviso that if Pollard made good this amount this action would follow.

AUTOCASTER 0 CHICAGO—Paris which rules the waves of fashionable women's hair and dictates the couture of Fifta Avenue is also responsible for the origin of margarine which Americans use in their kitchens and spread on their bread to the extent of 250,000,000 pounds annually. The story of how margarine originated in the French capital was told by Dr. J. S. Abbott of Washington, secretary of the Institute of Margarine Manufacturers. In the siege of Paris by the Prussian army in 1870, when tamine are treated the beaugrand city" said Dr. Abbott. "Jacques Mge-Mourne, French chemist, discovered a method of imitating nature's product of producing oil by combining beetle and oil. The result was a edible fat of great plausibility which was called margarine. "The French scientist's effort failed to save the bees," but it still inspired a world-wide industry because of the wholesomeness and economy of the new product. The Grasshopper was a hit.

Reid AUTOCASTER In spite of the bitter lessons learned by all Nations during the World War, the Merchant Marine Naval Reserve of the United States consists today of exactly sixty-two men, according to Rear Admiral Charles P. Hughes. Chief of Operations of the American Navy. TREAR ADMIRAL CHARLES F. HUGHES. Although the men of the merchant ships would be the first civilians called for Naval service in time of trouble, says Admiral Hughes. there has not been since the War any official affiliation whatever between them and the Navy. And the sixy-two men comprising the whole merchant reserve are officers, serving without pay as a patriotic duty. "Provision should be made." demeaned the grizzled Admiral, of the old type whose natural role is the bridge of a battleship rather than a mahogany desk in the Department, and enlistment of suitable officers for men of merchant ships in the Naval Reserve, with part time pay privileges and training. The Navy would thus have, at relatively little cost, a magnificent available personnel whose daily work naturally fits for Naval duty if needed. It could be a logical common sense arrangement among the navy to the country. The Navy would be an aid to maintenance of an efficient merchant fleet—so vitally necessary to the Navy—and it would create a trained reserve for the Navy, instantly available without increasing the proper peace-size of the Naval establishment. The plan would also have a whole some effect in a psychological sense. It would give the officers and men of merchant ships more dignity and prestige in foreign ports. It would provide the personnel of both services with common subjects for talks when they foregather, at home and over the world. It would create a keener sense of responsibility and Published Every Saturday by John Mitchell, at 811 North Fourth Street, Richmond, Pa.

SATURDAY.....APRIL 21, 1923 Times are worrying many people and yet thousands seem to be happy, while there are thousands of others who are not contented. Women, practically without clothes, spend as much money now as they did when they wore clothes. Short skirts make women look young, be they young or old, and they know it. That is why they cling to short skirts. Judge Julien Gunn, of the Richmond Circuit Court, took a long step forward, when he named Attorney J. C. Robertson as a commissioner of his court. It is all the more gratifying and surprising when it is realized, that politically speaking this distinguished jurist is a Democrat and has absolutely no Republican leanings. He evidently made the appointment as a matter of simple justice. You may say what you will, but the pendulum is swinging the other way at last in favor of the citizen on color and we have no need to lose hope or to seek other fields in which to secure that recognition, which in time will come to us right here. Speaking for a large proportion of our colored population, we return thanks to Judge Gunn for the naming of such an able member of our race to discharge the exacting duties of a commissioner of his court.

West, a Negro Democrat, has through counsel filed a suit for $5,000 damages against the primary election judges of the First Precinct, Madison Ward, on account of their refusal to permit him to vote in Democratic primary, recently held for the nomination of city officials, basing their refusal wholly and solely on account of his race and his color, which discrimination is alleged to be prohibited and forbidden by the Constitution of the United States in general and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments in particular. The purpose is to test the validity of the rule of the Democratic Party in excluding Negroes from participating in the naming of the nominees of that Party. The peculiar part of the situation is that these judges acted as officials and agents first of the Democratic Party, then as officials of the State of Virginia and in refusing recognition to West and his associates in accordance with the instruction of the Attorney-General of Virginia and later in accordance with an opinion handed down by the judge of the Law and Equity Court of this city. This action is brought in the United States District Court here before Judge Lawrence D. Groner, presiding jurist from who decision either the one side or the other will all probability note an appeal with a view to bringing the matter finally to the Supreme Court of the United States. The route chosen is along one and the litigation may extend over a period of years. Embarrassing delays can be brought about by either the one or the other party to the legal content. The question is: Can a political party seeking the protection of the State in a primary election bar a citizen from the party in a primary election, wholly and solely on account of his race and his color, when the fundamental law of the land specifically declares that it cannot be done? The Virginia officials claim that there is a legal way to "beat the law", so to speak. What will the highest court in the land, which has been recently avoiding legal quibbles say about it? LANDING PLACE FOR DEMO CRATS When it is evening, ye say: It will be fair weather, for the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be boul weather today: for the sky is red and towring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?—Holy Bible, Matt. 16:2-3. We have received under date of April 11, 1928, a circular letter addressed "To the Citizens of Virginia," signed by R. H. Angell, Chairman of the Virginia Republican State Committee, who resides at Roanoke, Va. Among other things he says: That there is an earnest wish on the part of the citizens of Virginia for strong minority Party is evidenced by editorials by the leading papers of this State that commented recently on the writer's election as Party Chairman. These editors, who have spoken friendly, are sincere in their expressions and are thereby voicing the sentiments of thousands of Virginia people who entertain and express the same view. It is not insubordination, or disloyalty, to their own party in inviting a strong minority party—but, it is what they believe to be to the best interest of Virginia, and an objective worthy of the support of every man who loves his State. And, I want to take occasion to pause right here and say that I sincerely love the Party of my choice made nearly forty years ago, and I want to see it prosper and grow as fast and as much as any member of the Party in this, or any other, State, but we cannot hope to reach a goal of this kind except through merit and devotion to the best interest of our State. If we show, as we should, a sincere desire to help through a strong minority Party or otherwise, to solve problems both State and local, in the interest of the people, we cannot help but receive the plaudits of a people conscious of a duty well and faithfully performed. I believe it is a duty of every citizen to line up with the party of his choice and be a factor in helping to shape public sentiment in favor of policies and measures that will be in keeping with the best interests of the State and the Nation that we all love. I heartily welcome any and every citizen of this State who has an intense desire to serve his State faithfully, and whose views are not inconsistent with the Party of my choice, to join hands in a cause that is worthy of your support. This appeal to the electorate of the State is a masterpiece of political strategy and indicates the laying of the ground work for the placing of the electoral vote of this State in the Republican column, when the election takes place next November. We have seen fit to designate it as the landing place for Democrats. We mean, of course, disgruntled Democrats, who have tired of the old leadership and who even now accept it as a foregone conclusion, that Governor Alfred E. Smith, of New York, a man of magnetic influence and vote-getting power will be named by the National Democratic Convention at Houston, this summer. The situation is so serious to them that, they are convinced that the mere remaining away from the polls will not consummate the desire of their hearts. It is generally believed that if a candidate favorable to the interests of the Southland is named at the National Republican Convention at Kansas City in June, it will be a simple matter to have these disgusted Democrats go to the polls and cast a ballot that will count for his electors. The only means of forestalling this movement would be the nomination for President of either Senator Carter Glass or Governor Harry Flood Bydr. Chairman Angell with the profuse and enthusiastic approval of Hon. C. Bascom Slemp has sensed this situation, urged on no doubt, by Col. Henry W. Anderson and this diplomatic appeal to "any and every citizen" of Virginia is the result. Can this movement be circumvented or nullified? This is the problem for the Al Smith managers in this State. They are facing an upheaval backed by the prohibition elements and the army of militant Protestants, who while they are not openly urging it are nevertheless determined that a political leader of the New York governor's type and belief shall not sit in the White House of the Nation. We take it then that this circular letter is neither more nor less than the plain advertisement as to the whareabouts of a landing place for disgruntled Democrats. Either Hon. Frank O. Lowden or Hon. Herbert Hoover can poll this large disgruntled Democratic vote. The latter will have more "pulling power" in this respect than the former, but either will do. The talk of a strong minority party as expressed by leading Democratic newspapers is all right. It is a gentle notice to the Democratic managers of what is likely to happen if the minority is crushed at Houston, Texas, and Hon. Alfred E. Smith, of New York, is nominated. In this connection the colored brother will figure. Before the fight is over, the Democrats who looked with disdain upon the colored voter in the Democratic primary will be calling to him for help with watery eyes, before the sun goes down on that fateful election evening in November, when the full force and ef- THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA fect of this political upheaval is realized. The Republican Party has never made a wiser move, from a political standpoint, than it did when Chairman R. H. Angell sent out that fateful appeal "To the Citizens of Virginia." ROANOKE NEWS The annual conference closed on Sunday after the 11 o'clock service.

After waitup thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, gravel, 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. Richmond, Va.

Water power is developed fully to generate the current, and all are associated in its installation. Farmers are taught to grind feed with it, pump water and do their other work. And, by the way, United States farmers are urgently invited by the Canadian government to settle in Canada. Our attention here is concentrated on a different problem. We want to make sure that the right people get possession of our power sources, the right people being those that control power and peddle it to the people. As to farmers and others that buy and use power, our Government has not found time to think about them. Prophecy is usually dangerous, particularly dangerous for farmers when government prophecies go wrong. The Government forecast on potatoes has fall predicted a crop greater than the real one. Many farmers sold in a hurry at low prices, some were not marketed, many fed to stock. Then the shortage was seen, price went up, a few wise people made the money, NOT the farmers. The sudden death of Senator Willis, in his battle for Ohio's Presidential delegates, ended tragically one phase of the 1928 campaign. Senator Willis would have preferred to die fighting. Those that know Secretary Hoover know that Senator Willis' death will cause him sincere grief. A powerful man, never sparing himself, Senator Willis forgot that there are limits to the heart's endurance. A tired heart often succumbs in the most powerful man, wearied by constant strain. The dead man's widow attributed the Senator's attack to the fumes of smoky flares that he had been inhaling constantly, in the course of a political parade. A weak heart, fighting against poisoned air, is in danger. The League of Nations proposes international war against rats, their complete extermination. Such a war, made to include mosquito bites, would be the best war in the history. It would save every year in lives and money as much as the big war cost in any year. 200,000 Auto Camp ORICAGO — More than 300,000 nautologists, many of them driving their we all the way across the continent.

D. 36 miles west of the Missouri river, the trail runs that point on is liable to be rough, dusty, or muddy, with as yet only primitive hotel accommodations along the way. This is the shorter of the two routes, 1,416 miles from Chicago as compared with the 1,529 miles to the Lincoln highway, and many motorists, especially those with a flair for adventure, will prefer it. The Yellowstone, despite its many modern conveniences in the way of hotels, motor coaches, and Standard and Sinclair filling stations, is still invested with the glamour of the pioneer days of the West, when it was the happy hunting ground of the Blackhee, the Crows, the Shoshone and the Cheyenne. The motorist advised to enter the park by way of Gardiner and leave by way of Cody, for in this manner, interest in the natural wonders will be cumulative, and at the same time, he will negotiate the Giyan pass, the most formidable stretch of highway, on the down grade. --- --- No more rats, no more bubonic plague. No more mosquito, no more yellow fever or unlucky. No more tse-tse flies, no more sleeping sickness No more house flies, no more fifth dragged over food of young children. It would be interfering with Nature's plans, perhaps. Darwin says a pair of tropical flies and their maggot offspring can dispose of a lion's carcass in a few hours. Kill all the lions and the flies would not be needed to dispose of the carcron. George Haldeman and Eddie Stinson, Americans, broke the air, flying without stopping fifty-three and one-half hours. The French Government offers a million francs to any French flier that will win back some flying records formerly held by French fliers. A little encouragement from our Government would make it impossible for any nation to compete with American flying. The first flying machine was made here. Lindbergh was born here. We have the money and engineers. This ought to be the flying nation. This comes from Italy: "Major de Bernardi has established a new world's air record, 3183 miles an hour." Will solemn naval gentlemen that call flying machines "only an auxiliary" be good enough to tell what chance slow-moving ships on the surface would have against a flock of airplanes with that speed? On the great mountain called Nashan, in Manchuria, far up where air is pure and clear, Japan, as a monument to the new Emperor, will build the greatest astronomical observatory in Asia. That observatory, with a sixty-inch reflector and thirty-inch refracting telescope, will be a mach noble monument than any rearing house ofrona. HE KEEPS HIS WORD NO ONE EVER TAKES IT over the Yellowstone trail to the park catering the preserve by way of Cody Others, more adventurous, will choose the northern route, following the Atlantic-Yellowstone-Pacific trail to Slux Falls, through the Black Hills past the Custer battlefield, then take the Custer Battlefield highway to Billings, Montana, to the Gardiner entrance of the park. The latter are advised, however, that through the A. K. P. route is THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About your Health Things You Should Kno by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. When a man or woman dies suddenly, and without visible cause, the newspapers announce that deceased was "a victim of heart disease." In the majority of cases the cause of death was nothing of the kind, but—it sets the public mind at rest. It is so sets to lay the blame on this most noble, much abused organ. Still the fact confronts us stubbornly that, among our several vital organs, we would find there render the heart due respect, and take the best possible care of it. Perhaps overloading is one of the most serious offenses against a normal heart—and it is accomplished by over-feeding. Roughly speaking, the heart lifts eighteen pounds of blood seventy-two times per minute—or 1,236 pounds per hour—and for a single day, multiply by 24 runs into tons per month. This supposes you weigh 150 lbs. if you are heavier than you! The bad error, but horse sense tells me I am thinking along right lines. The unnecessary food that we are continually showvelling into the stomach, and which is later thrown into the circulation by the absorbents, and more than half of it undigested—is the heart to blame if we die of weakened and over-distressed arteries? The heart is often blamed for failure, when the six of our blood is the "nigger in the woods." The mince-pice, sausage, heavily seasoned meat, not to say the half an inch thick and often half raw. Probably shortness of breath and painness are first symptoms that lead one to suspect a burdened heart. Pain over the heart is more often due to neuritis of intercostal nerves. Palpitation is a warning signal—heed it. You would fight if you were treated as we insist for the heart. Kidney failure for the heart, diabetes attributed to the heart, amputation, bacteria from a diseased throat. Keep on good terms with our specialist.

Although Spring comes late to Quebec, the French-Canadian peasant does not seem to be vexed with her tardiness. He does not often say it, but he understands quite well that Spring is a season than a state of mind—a condition of the heart; so when the lazy countridebecomes a mixture of apple blossoms he is brittle singing of roses. He is thus a full month ahead of nature, for the onset of Quebec does not bloom until June. But his cage is none the less small. He survives in his heart and on his legs because of three centuries of French-Canadian ancestry and three preceding centuries of outlaws and jongleurs who traverse every highway and byway of the sea to scatter in but and beauty of their music- clothing, utensils for the necessities of life. pigments used for necessities of life. pigments used for adornment in place of rouge even to the roots burned for incense are all supplied by Mother Earth.

His wife and his daughters have these many years continued their domestic weaving and spinning to music no less lovely. This treasury of music was first made public last year at the Chateau Pronenac in Quebec at the Canadian Folksong and Handicraft Festival, where the local peasant sang their folksongs and work songs. North America's older handicrafts still enjoyed a touring and vigorous existence. This Festival is now being staged a second time in Quebec from May 24 to May 28 under the direction of Dr. Marius Barbeau of the Victoria National Museum and Harold Eustace Key, musical director of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The outstanding feature of this year's Festival at Quebec is a 18th century comic opera written by the troubadour Adam de la Halle. "Je汝 de Robin et Marion," said it is the 'aristest comic opera in musical history. The Metropolitan Opera House of New York is supplying two of its leading singers.

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.
