"Prophet" Mosby in the Toils of the Law Mohammedism and Its Teachings--Charged with Disorderly Conduct at 3d and Leigh St. Had No Permit to Preach on Streets. VOLUME XLV. NO. 29 "Proph the T Mohamme ings--Cha Conduct Had No Per For many weeks, J. Mosby, called by some "The Prophet" has been holding forth at the Northwest corner of Third and Leigh Streets. He had a small ladder and a platform from which he and his followers spoke. They indulged in the abuse of churches and finally were especially bitter towards the United States flag, which they had on one side and a red flag with a crescent in the center on the other. Mosby claimed to have been born in this city. He and his cult lived at 1225 St. James Street, which place they called the Temple and all who wanted information were told to call there and get a card and a button. Didn't Want to Talk. Mosby had a book, ritual or Koran, from which it developed that he believed in Mohammedanism, which is the religion of the Turks, the Moors, the Persians and thousands of the inhabitants of Africa. Mosby when approached by the editor did not seem disposed to talk and gave a graff reply that the place to call was at the Temple, 1225 St. James Street. It was stated that one afternoon, he was attacked by a brave student, he drove the carer. He and his associates became very abusive in the language. On Sunday evening, the police took a hand as is described in the Times Dispatch of the May 21st issue. The Charge. The Police blotter for that date is as follows: "I. Mosby, C. Lab, 1225 St. James St. On warrant did unlawfully be disorderly in the public street and did make public appeaches without a permit for so doing. Sadie Thompson, 19, 1225 St. James Street, Lilly Mosby, R. Branch, J. Thomas, Aleck and Clara Henderson were booked on similar charges. When the case was called last Monday, Judge John L. Ingram postponed the hearing until May 30th, and all were remanded to jail in default of $500.00 bond. Will Attract Attention All but two were finally released. It is presumed that the case will attract much attention, should the Prophet from Chicago come to the city to represent Mosby as it is alleged he claims he will. The charter was in the Police Court, together with the flags, it was granted, January 11, 1928 and reads as follows: Charter, Moorish Temple of Science of the World.

SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1928 POLICE PUT "PROPHET" IN JAIL FOR PREACHING RACE SEDITION Leader of Red Flag Order Dragged Away in Midst of Harangue Against Stars and Stripes and White Supremacy. (Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch) Fearing a riot last night when a group of Negroes at Third and Leigh Streets were urged to dishonor the American flag and "live under the red flag of the Moors," the police pulled J. Mosley, a 35 year old Negro, from a ladder as he exclaimed: "To hell with the American flag; down with the white people!" Along with him seven other Negroes, three of them women, said to be followers of Mosley, were placed under arrest. All were held at the Second Station. One of the women who happened to hear the Negro preaching while passing, sensed the possible danger of disorder and summoned the police to the scene, Lieutenant S. T. Goldsby and Sergeant J. T. Riddell arrived a few minutes later and the assemblage dispersed quietly when Mosley and the others were taken into hand. One Negro came into the police station a few minutes after the police returned with their prisoners. Walking up to the desk sergeant he remarked: "You know dat niger you all je' rested; dat fool charged me $7 fuh sev'n degrees." Mosley said he was trying to enlist members to live under the red flag which he called the flag of the nation of his race. He said the red flag name was "peace love and happiness" and that Mohammed was He showed the gathering a framed charter of the organization in this country, whose headquarters, he said, is in Chicago. On it was printed "Moorish Holy Temple of the World." The charter was issued January 11, 1928, to the Moorish Holy Temple of Science, Inc., 1200 block North St. James Street, in Hanover County. With the two flags, it was taken over by the police as evidence. The Negro is charged with preaching without a permit and with disorderly conduct. The police said they intended to deliver him to the Federal authorities for blaspheming the American flag. The others are charged with disorderly conduct. The Negro, who talked freely, but incoherently, in his cell, said he was born in Richmond, but that he had been living in Chicago for a number of years. He said he met "Wohle Drew Ali" who called the "Most Holy Prophet," in that city about three years ago, and studied under him. Several months ago, he declared, in this city in search of his mother, he decided to remain and establish a Moorish branch. It was reported after the Negro's arrest that he had been seen haranguing on street corners before gatherings a number of times during the last few weeks, but that no attention had been paid to him. While the Negro would not commit himself when asked how many members the organization had in Richmond, he did say "there are plenty of members all over the country."

Leroy Eaton, 32 years old, formerly of Twenty-second Street, South Richmond, was killed Saturday, May 19th, while at work in the Mathew mines near Waynesburg, Pa.

After a very successful three weeks' stay in Norfolk, Mr. S. E. Grain, who is the Traveling Representative of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, also the "Messenger" Magazine came to Richmond to further the interest of the Brotherhood and the "Messenger". Mr. Grain said that the Brotherhood could not lose if the Pullman Porters as a group and the Negroes in general could understand that the organization is not just a Pullman Porter's fight, but a race fight instead. Mr. Grain said there were dozens of other organizations taking money from the Negro preparing him to die, but the Brotherhood, as a labor organization, is trying to prepare him to live. He said that no group, or no race, or no nation should reach the top with culture alone. It requires something else, and that something else is an economic background. Mr. Grain is willing to speak at any place in defense of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Messenger Magazine. While in the city, add 21st East Leigh St. He would be glad to talk with anyone concerning the Brotherhood and his work. FORWARD TO VICTORY! S. E.

BAPTIST MINISTERS WILL DISC CUSS THE MISSING COMING OF CHRIST Dr. C. S. Morris, pastor of Fifth St. Baptist Church, delivered an address on last Monday, before the Baptist Ministers' Conference subject, "The Second Coming of Christ." Dr. Morris occupied the floor for over an hour and in his characteristic and scholarly manner outlined the N. T. teachings as touching upon this important subject. The brethren listened with rapt attention as Dr. Morris pointed out and explained passage after passage which according to his interpretation taught of the way and manner of our Lord's Second Advent. At the close of the address Dr. A. S. Thomas, Richmond's veteran pulpit, staunch fundamentalist and guardian of the faith, arose to differ with Dr. Morris. The hour was late and the president is important that the president, Rev. J. E. Fountain, contrary to the usual custom ruled that the subject would become the "Order of the Day" next Monday. The brethren are invited to be present to take part in and listen to a warm, but friendly discussion. Some of our local theologians hold that the second coming will be before the millennium, others that it will follow, therefore it will be of interest to every minister to be present and hear the question argued by these able men. The Johnson "boys" have been getting some good orders recently and all of their customers are satisfied. They are at the same old stand. 'Phone Madison 686.

A graphic description was given by John Henry Gray Thursday morning, May 10th, before Judge John L. Ingram. He stated that he was on the dump with some other pickers, on Baldwin Street. He saw them start to running. He did not know the reason until he looked around and saw Officer Sweet com- ing. He asked him about liquor. He denied having any. Then he started away. Sweet ordered him to stop. He had a small book in in his hand and a revolver. Officer Sweet told him to give him the revolver. He refused to do it. He then ran, and Officer Sweet fired at him. He emptied his own revolver and the officer shot him, breaking his left arm below the elbow. One bullet grazed his leg and the officer stung through the coming out on the other side. Gray presented a spectacular appearance as he held up his broken left arm swathed in bandages. He was sent on to the grand jury for shooting at Sweet.

JOHN MITCHELL, JR....EDITOR A QUESTION OF VERACITY. We have read with interest "A Letter to Liberty from Senator Glass" in the issue of that magazine for May 26, 1928. The distinguished statesman deals in "glittering generalities" and it is evident that in this interview, at least, he was caught off his guard and was not accorded the usual congressional courtesy of changing what he actually said before it appeared upon the printed page, where it would be mercilessly viewed by those most bitterly opposed to him and his policies. It seems to us that the distinguished Virginian weakened his case and strengthened Mr. Sidney Sutherland's position and his quotations in not re-stating what he did say or intended to say and thereby remove any doubt as to his actual position in the premises. In this respect, Senator Walter F. George, of Georgia, whose statement of correction appears in this same issue occupies a position of vantage and leaves no ground for a misconception of his views in the premises. But what does Senator Carter Glass say? Here it is: "There has been left on my desk a copy of Liberty, dated April 28, containing what purports to be an interview wished me by Sidney Sutherland on the subject of the Fifteenth and Eighteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. I desire to warn you that the purported interview, almost from the beginning to the end of it, is inaccurate and largely fictitious. Whatever may be my views on the questions discussed by the writer of the article, nobody who knows me or my habit of speech could believe that I had ever been guilty of the coarse utterances attributed to me by your Mr. Sutherland. I have usually aged to think and talk a gentleman should and the English language should be fairly measured way, put into quotations and ascribed to me his own crude thoughts and objectionable verbiage. "This young man came into my sick bed room at the Raleigh Hotel unannounced, and sought to interview me on the subject of the Constitutional Amendments which he has made the basis of his article. I positively declined to talk to him for publication, referring him to carefully prepared articles by me, which completely reflected my views. Upon his insistence and purely for his own information, I consented to explain exactly why, in my opinion, there was no analogy between alleged violations of the suffrage amendments in the South and the actual violation of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Prohibition Act in all parts of the country. That was all; and nothing that I either thought or said could afford justification for the article which Mr. Sutherland wrote and which you published depicting me as a sectional ruffian, speaking harshly and intemperately of those whose views on the question involved differ from my own. "Very respectfully, "CARTER GLASS." We are gratified to know that Senator Glass has put a true value on his alleged utterances, when he characterizes them as depicting him as "a sectional ruffian." We did not feel that it would have been appropriate or in accord with good breeding to use language concerning him even approximately as harsh. He even goes so far as to say that he has usually managed to "think and talk as a gentleman." Still, the very able Virginian does not enlighten us as to what he did think and as to what he did say. Mr. Sutherland publishes the following statement in this same issue: "This is a Presidential election year. The question of prohibition is an important one. The politicians and the partisan editors throughout the country have revived the subject of nullification, bearing down emphatically on the strange theses that bargain might be struck in nullification! That if it be proper for commonwealths to ignore the infront of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, it should be clearly approved if certain other States and municipalities ignored the Eighteenth Amendment and its enabling statute, the Volstead Act. "On this matter, for the purpose of making a pair of articles, I especially wanted to know the Southern point of view. "I debated mentally as to whom I might approach, what person or persons were best qualified by experience, study, age, integrity and status for the purpose of voicing the sentiments of Dixie on so delicate a topic. I resolved to interview Senator Carter Glass of Virginia. My reasons for selecting this statesman were manifold. Carter Glass is seventy years old. Scion of a family famous in Virginia for its services to that State and to the nation, he was born in 1858 and consequently, had spent his impressionable boyhood among the ghastly scenes of the Civil War and in the unlucky of the old nation of education, in early manhood, following an excellent formal education he had entered journalism, conducting and owning newspapers in Lurchburg. "Politics had attracted him; he had served in the Virginia Legislature. Then he had gone to Congress where his fine mind, his political acumen, his personal integrity; his genuine vision, his unquestioned courage, moral and physical and his fiery, dominant personality had quickly advanced him to the foremost ranks of his party. :: in December, 1948 during the difficult period of post-war financial readjustment, President Wilson appointed him to his Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury, and his services until he resigned the to-do list. November evoked the adoption and respect of the nation. Since that time Mr. Glass has sat in the Senate of the United States, a dignified snowy-haired flashing eyed figure whose capacities and earnestness and fearless advocacy of his personal and party principles have focused the attention of the nation on the approach with more certainty that his remarks on Dixie's conduct in political matters would carry the weight of understanding, sound judgment and courteous interpretation? "I called up Mr. Glass" secretary on long distance from New York City explained what I sought, and asked him to arrange for an appointment for me. He did so, and in pursuance thereof I went to Washington the first week in January. I called at room 330 in the Senate Office Building, and the secretary informed me that he had spoken to Mr. Glass, and that if I went to the Raleigh Hotel I would be received, though the Senator was lying fretfully in his bed because of an infected foot. "When I knocked on the door, a somewhat impatient voice bade me enter. I found Senator Glass lying on top of his counterpane, his hair nursing a bandaged toe, his hair and his bullaud and his paama coat bedding discomposed as he touched to and fro. "I gave him my name and the purpose of my call. He motioned me to a chair near the foot of the bed, rumpled the pillow under his head and exclaimed: "I've expressed my opinion on this subject a hundred times. Why come taking up my time on something I've explained before? I don't want to talk about niggers or booze or Constitutional amendments or anything else." "But, Senator," I said soothingly "there seems suddenly to be a resurgence throughout the North of the subject of nullification. The politicians up there, some of them and some of the editors, say that you violate the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments down South and that those places up North that want their liquor have a right to nullify the Eighteenth Amend-" "Mr. Class interrupted me with a furious gesture and a pulmonary explosion which coming from a man less illustrious than the venerable Senator, might be described as a snort! "I know what they're claiming up North," he retorted. 'And I've never heard such drivel as you Northernnews utter in all my life. What has the attitude of the South toward those damnable wartime amendments got to do with the obedience to the Constitution and the law by the Northernness?' 'What utter nonsense to talk about the enforcement of something that is not violated! No SouthernState has ever violated the Constitution, even if the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments were rammed down our throats with a bayonet...' "Though denounced as a Northern or and made the target, first of a quivering forefinger and then a clenched fist, I ignored the fact that I am the son of families which have lived in Texas, for nearly a century since they left Virginia, Kentucky Georgia and Flor'da and trekked to the great Southwest long before General Sam Houston incorporated dozens of my breed in the little army with which he avenged the Alamb and freed Texas from Santa Anna's rule. One becomes thick-skinned, a little callous, if one continues long enough in the role of an interviewer. The thing that matters is—get the story. And here, a distinguished stateman swearing he would never talk, and talking! My pencil moved as swiftly as I could guide it across the sheet of paper on my knee; pausing only when Mr. Glass paused for breath or for phrases graphic enough to encompass his passionate eloquence, or because when he had exhausted his forcefulness and his topic I thought of something elst to ask him. I would cite to the Senator some striking Supreme Court decision having to do, say, with Negro disfranchisement, and he would comment at length. I would mention some verdict having to do with property rights, and he would inform me that he was not qualified to discuss the legal aspects of that thing. So I confined my questioning to such decisions as affected the ballot-box fortunes of the Negro in Dixie, and in not one case did Senator Glass either (1) decline to comment; (2) ask me to treat anything he said as confidential; or (3) request me to tone down the fervent quality of his responses. But I did tone them down. First, THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA because it would have been unfair to quote him verbatim while he was irritable as a result of the nature of the subject and neeved because of the confinement consequent upon his sore toe. Second, because the scope of his statements could not have been confined in the space allotted to me by the publisher of Liberty, And, third, because it is impossible to write down everything extraneous an interviewee brings into the discussion of a specified subject. When Mr. Glass had revovered his poise, I said: "I thank you, sir, for your patient explanation of why Dixie has proceeded as she has since the Civil War. But I'm afraid my mission to Washington is only half completed. I mean that you have declined to say anything about the Fourteenth Amendment and its alleged infringements. I wonder whom I could find to help me out there?" Mr. Glass reflected a moment. "If you'll see Senator George of Georgia, he can help you. He has a splendid legal background—he was on the Supreme Court bench in Georgia for years—and he knows all about the Fourteenth Amendment." Reflecting on my interview with Senator Glass and recalling the emphatic vocabulary he had regarded as desirable to convey his meanings, it was with considerable trepidation that I telephoned his hotel. My apprehensions were not unsound. "Your article, sir," he cried into his transmitter when I had identified myself, "is false and libelous from beginning to end. You have made me out a sectional vulgarian and an ignorant ruffian. You have put your own ignorant thoughts and uncouth grammar into my mouth, when everybody that knows me knows I never speak as you say I do, or voice my sentiments in any but the language of a gentleman. "But my dear Senator," I expostulated, "did you say what I said you said, or did I—" "It makes no difference what I said sir!" he exclaimed. "I say what I please whenever I please, but I say it as a gentleman and an educated man. You have, I repeat, sir, made me out a ruffian and a blackguard. Whereas, sir, you are merely a blackguard yourself—" "Hold it, Senator," I said. "Hold everything! The thing for you to do sir, is to write a letter to my publisher and express any sentiments you damn well feel like expressing. I don't know what kind of press representatives you are accustomed to dealing with, but I do know I'm about to hang up on you, since it is evident we have nothing more to talk about." But the Virginia statesman beat me to it: he hung up first. I went on about my business, and when I returned to my hotel room later in the day I found that Senator Glass had phoned. I called up his apartment, and he spoke as follows: "Young man, I still think your article is an injustice to me, and that it is wrong from beginning to end. But, sir, I could not sleep this night until I apologized for the epithet I employed this morning" "Senator Glass," I laughed, "you're an old darling, and I refuse to quarrel with you, so—" "What did you call yourself?" he "What did you call me, sir?" he shouted. "An old darling," Senator. "I wore a dress and a hat, but he was going, going, crumbling." "Oh, well, all right, young man," he rejoined, apparently mollified. "Nevertheless, your article is all wrong. I am so writing your editor." "But, Mr. Glass," I inquired, "didn't you say what I wrote you said? Haven't you written the same sentiments to W. H. Stayton of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, and uttered identical observations three or four times on the Senate floor?" "Certainly, sir. And I propose to keep on uttering them. But that doesn't justify your putting into my mouth ungrammatical and unwords that I never use, and making me appear not-tempered intemperate blackguard. Whereas, sir, you—" "All right, all right, Senator." I hastily interjected, fearing he was about to—er—ahem—misplace his noise for a moment. Senator Glass' letter to my publisher is reproduced on the presiding page. Careful reading thereof will disclose that the Senator nowhere disputes the fact that he said what I said he said, only that he protests rather bitterly against the language I quote him as using. Well, a reporter gets a lot of experience. But still, a reporter does not like to be accused of lying even though by implication. Particularly when he knows he does not deserve it. This is rich reading and it shows that this Negro question is still impregnated with political dynamite. The harmless black is proceeding along his humble way and literary luminaries are discussing matters concerning him, in which matters the masses of them are taking little or no interest. We would like to know Senator Glass' position upon this all important subject. He is sworn to support. the War Amendments and he would forfeit his seat in that celebrated forum, the United States Senate should he fail to take this oath and pledge himself to this obligation. He has always been regarded by the colored people of this section as the "sonl of honor". Is it possible at his age of life he has back-slidden and is still back-sliding? Let us hope not.

PEYTON, Manager jail, a veritable object of pity, and awaiting trial for shooting at and attempting to kill Special Officer T. C. Sweet, a railroad detective. In other words, attempts are being made to have the State punish John Henry Gray, a colored man, for a crime for the commission of which Special Officer T. C. Sweet has already punished him. Let us see: Children were picking up coal on the C. & O. yard, and they ran when they saw the white officer coming. Gray was not picking up coal and Gray did not run at his approach, although he did so later. There was and is no charge of larceny against him. He declined to submit to arrest and when the special officer attempted to take away from him a revolver that he carried he ran and the officer fired at him and he fired at the officer. This officer was in plain clothes and not a member of the police department. There is no positive evidence that Gray fired first. He had no liquor. What was John Henry Gray's punishment? Sweet was armed with a revolver, .45-calibre, so Gray says, a bullet large enough to kill a bear. One of these broke Gray's arm. He carries it in splints. Another bullet struck his leg and still another bullet entered his back near the hip and came out in front, showing that he was running away from Sweet. Gray has been lingering between life and death in St. Philip's Hospital and is now in the hospital at the city jail. Prior to his firing upon Mr. Sweet, his only offense, if any, was a misdemeanor, that is, having a revolver in his possession. All of the bullets in his pistol went wild. One of the most prominent white ladies in this city, who has employed Gray from time to time and who is interested in him, says that his greatest fault is his temper. He has been in trouble for fighting and he has nserved time for this peculiarity on his part. He has never been able to curb his disposition to fight. Now he is an object of pity and it is proposed to punish again a man who has been too severely punished. He has a broken arm, a body through which a .45-calibre bullet has passed, and a leg slightly injured by another shot from Mr. Sweet's revolver. If he has sinned he has paid the penalty.

Day or Night Calls Answered Promptly. Richmond, Va., July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease,avel, 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 large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. J. A. PAGE. 1 am. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE Mr. L. J. Hayden, 224 West Broad Street. Richmond, Va.

The Federal Government sees danger of another outbreak of infantile paralysis this Summer. Dr. Harris, New York's Health officer, warns against danger of spinal meningitis. These diseases, puzzling to science, are as mysterious as were yellow fever and malaria before men discovered that mosquitoes, and nothing else spread both. While waiting for definite information, do these things: Screen doors and windows, using doors, that it may last. copper screen, the Keep flies away from babies and young children, and away from their food. Pasteurize or boil children's milk. Give food rich in vitamin content. Teach children not to put fingers in their mouths or nose—wash their hands well before meals. Teach children that kissing is dangerous, especially on the lips. And let adults know that their kissing should be limited to their own children. Every adult mouth and throat carry disease garm, latent, that might work havoc in a young child with undeveloped leucocyte protection. Dorothy Dix, wise young woman, first cousin to Hypatia and Porcia, says, "Consistency is the sure sign of old age. I pray my opinions may always be flexible. Accused of being inconsistent. Dorothy Dix says, "I hope to goodness I am. I should hate like poison to be consistent. Many mistake for copernicium what is really old age dulness. what is really old age unimpeded. When Harvey announced his discovery of the blood's circulation, giving proof that a child might have understood his proofs were rejected by every doctor of reputation past forty years of age.

Modern W In Spite Modern Wife Can Enjoy Men Friends In Spite of Marriage, Noted Author Says New York, May —. Can a woman after marrying one man continue close platonic friendships with others without wrecking the chance of happiness in her home? Charles G. Norris believes she can, and, moreover, that the thousands of modern girls who are entering marriage from the business world are proving it. The distinguished author of "brass" assers, in an interview with Dorothy John in Smart Set magazine June, that the broadening associations of men and women in business and the continuance of such friendships after marriage is giving a more wholesome tone to our social code by eradicating the last vestige of the old idea that woman was man's exclusive property after marriage instead of a free individual who had entered into a partnership. The home is not enough to fill satisfactorily the life of the average girl who marries today," he says. "She has been engaged in business and has become accustomed to the companionship of men. Her interests have spread in many directions and she needs more stimulating conversation than neighborhood gossip if she is to thrive." Outside Friendships Help As to the possibility of jealousy and disloyalty, Mr. Norris admits them, but he believes that between intelligent men and women freer and broader friendships outside of the home are likely to prevent more domestic discord than they will cause. "A man or a woman who is jealous is not in love," he asserts. "A man truly in love with his wife could not be jealous, for true love denotes perfect faith and confidence and considers only the happiness of the loved one. "The woman who is going to be --- Interesting to chicken men Pennsylvania has three electric hatcheries, holding 47,000 eggs each. The eggs, put in trays at the top of a refrigerator-like arrangement, gradually sink down, as days pass, until they reach the bottom, and the chicks walk out on the twenty-first day. Empty racks rise to the top for more eggs, and a constant stream of chicks pour from an incubator that never stops, eggs being re- plenished twice a week. Cookerels are eaten. Pullets stimulated by high feeding lay early, and lights burning in their coops keep them eating after dark and increase egg output. When the heens, weary, slow down, they become chicken stew, and pullets replace them. A hard life, but not so different from ours. Nature gets rid of us, also, when our usefulness ends. When the energetic British say they mean to increase their foreign markets, they mean it. They have built boats small enough to go through the Welland Canal, and will send low phosphorous pig iron to Chicago, Milwaukee and other American markets, at $26 a ton delivered, duty paid. You may say that our steel man should be able to compete with foreign prices. Possibly. But in any case our Government should save it that American workers AND business men are protected from foreign competition. Florida is Democritic, vap, and Democracy usually oppose high tariffs. But all depends. Florida's Winter vegetable crop is menaced by Mexican competition, growers are facing ruin. So Florida, wisely, wields her candidates for Congress to a tafft "that will protect American labor against destructive foreign competition." unfaithful to her husband will be unfaithful anyway. Nothing can stop her. Whether she has free moment, it will make no difference." Too strict guardianship by the Charles G. Norris husband over his wife's affairs is more likely than not to make her either suitor and dull or openly points out, while if she has the opportunity to meet other men on a frank and open basis she will likely keep herself more interesting to her husband and he will prove more interesting to her. "Only too often a woman returns to her husband after dining or lunching with a man friend, grateful to provide that her husband is a he, and glad that" by some kind twist of fate she had not married the man she had just left," he concludes. 1920s Kills Family of Seven AUTOCASTER Owen Oberst, Jr., 17, who has confessed to authorities that he has killed his five brothers and sisters, his father and mother, and so the farm here near Burns, Karin, he fire to hide his crime.

SOUTH KY GUYMING THE DOG DETROIT—Business women of the future will be Dr. Jekylls and Mrs. Hydes. A composite woman, who is neither a dowd nor a dumb bell, has taken the place of the mannish monstrosity and flashily dressed nit-wit formerly inhabiting our places of business. This, at least, is the opinion of that millionaire real estate operator, Edith Mae Cummings, whose sensational ascent from a telephone switchboard to the president's office of her own company in four years is still one of Detroit's business sagas.

Jack Sidney has proven to be a popular favorite. His winning ways with superb service elicits spontaneous applause from the orchestra and the galleries peopled as they are by many art critics. The magnificent electrical display borders on the wonderful and partakes of the mysterious.

As for the Mosque Mad Dancers, the change in costumes rival the best productions from Paris. The stage band is fine in its renditions, and there is no reason why this palatial playhouse should not continue to be as it now is—one of the wonders of this city.
