THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. Sylvester Medley Faces a Lunacy Commission. Willingham's Alienist to Decide the Question. VOLUME XLV, NO. 37 Sylvester Fac Crazy or Willingham's On motion of his counsel, Attorney Charles W. Moss, Judge Julien Gunn of the Henrico County Circuit Court has ordered a commission of lunacy for the 28th inst. to determine the sanity of Sylvester Modley, the 17-year old colored youth charged with the murder of Samuel E. Grimmell, 16 years of age, wounding both Mrs. Nellie L. Haskins and Henry H. Grimmell. It is understood that the commission will consist of the same aliensists who examined Willingham, alias Winnegan, the Isle of Wight colored man charged with murder and who was later electrocuted. SOUTHERN PATRONAGE SCANDALS (New York Times, July 18th) The Brookhart committee, investigating Federal officeholding in the South, may be prevented from spreading Mississippi scandals on its records now that a special Federal Grand Jury at Bloxi has indicted Perry W. Howard and others. Howard, an Assistant Attorney General of the United States and leader of Mississippi Republicans, can probably not be required to testify before a Senate committee while an indictment hangs over his head. Instrumental in obtaining the Grand Jury action was Howard's colleague, Assistant Attorney General Mabel Willebradt; and already Washington, cynical in these things, is pointing out that the effect of the indictment is to defer testimony in the case until after the election. Previous revelations have stressed with more force than for years the shocking state of the Republican Party in the South. Howard himself, known to the National Committee as "the smartest negro in politics" was on Rush Holland's payroll at $250 a week while Holland was gathering Southern delegates for Mr. Hoover's campaign managers. Howard it was who told the Senate campaign fund investigators that he would go through with Hoover at Kansas City as soon as he saw he had not been "doublecrossed"; meaning that the "ily-white" faction in Mississippi had not been favored by the Secretary of Commerce. No double-crossing appearing, and Howard's dominance in Mississippi being maintained, Mississippi did go through at Kansas City and was with the winner. The specific charce against Howard is that he and others levied an assessment against a Deputy United States Marshal amounting to one-fourth of his salary in return for securing the man's appointment. This is violative of a strict statute. Trial may prove the innocence which Howard stoutly maintains; the fact of the indictment may check the Brookhart committee in part of its activity and keep some Republic scandals away from the public during the campaign; but more and more these facts are becoming apparent to the people of the country; (1) Republican patronage and delegate conditions in the South must be made decent. (2) Until they are, Republican national nominees, selected by Southern vote, cannot expect the support of the respectable white and Democratic elements in the South. PRESIDENT BOWLES RETURNS President A. M. Bowles, of the "Al" Smith Democratic Club of this city, has returned from New York, where he had a satisfactory consultation with the Democratic leaders there. M. Alphonso Norrell accompanied him. The purpose is to organize headquarters here for Virginia and North Carolina and to secure as large a membership of colored voters as possible. Mr. Fred Chisman, of Hampton Va., was in the city last week. Rev. E. C. Smith Inspects New Field Metropolitan Bapt. Church Officers and Members Greet Him. Want Him to Take Charge September 1st, 1928. Rev. E. C. Smith, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, South Richmond, and pastor-elect of the Great Metropolitan Baptist Church, Washington, D. C., was in Washington last Sunday. Rev. and Mrs. Smith motored there last Friday, the 13th inst., upon invitation of the Official Board of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, and remained until Monday afternoon, the 16th inst. While there they were guest at the White Law Hotel. On Friday evening the Official Board conferred with Rev. Smith on tioned in front of the rostrum on the floor to receive congratulations, and it is estimated that more than 1,500 of the members personally asked them to come to Washington and take up the work there, and at the same time pledged to them their hearty support. The afternoon was spent in receiving friends and a brief drive around the city. The evening services were equal in interest to that of the morning "Moving In God's Name," was the REV. E. C. SMITH matters of acceptance. In this conference the Board members were unanimous in their vote for Rev. Smith to accept the call extended, and take up the work officially as pastor as soon as possible. All articles of acceptance submitted by Rev. Smith were unanimously agreed upon and signed by the Official Board. On Saturday a large limousine car was arranged for the pastor-elect and his wife for sight-seeing. Four hours were spent in visiting historic points and places of interest. Saturday evening was spent in receiving friends at the hotel. At 11:15 A. M. Sunday morning the church was fill to its utmost capacity and it was estimated that more than 500 people were turned away. Rev. Smith congratulated the church on its past history and achievements, spoke in glowing terms of the late Dr. Norman, and stated that he was resigned to the will of the Lord. He said that if the Lord wanted him to remain in Richmond he would gladly remain, and if he wanted him to come to Washington he would gladly come. At this point he asked the choir and congregation to sing "If Jesus Goes With Me I'll Go Anywhere." He then proceeded and delivered a forceful message from Matt. 9:20-21. Subject: "Touching Jesus." He recommended the divine touch as the panacea for the ills of the world. At the close of the service the pastor-elect and his wife were sta- RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, BAYURDAY, JULY 21, 1928. tioned in front of the rostrum on the floor to receive congratulations, and it is estimated that more than 1,500 of the members personally asked them to come to Washington and take up the work there, and at the same time pledged to them their hearty support. The afternoon was spent in receiving friends and a brief drive around the city. The evening services were equal in interest to that of the morning: "Moving In God's Name", was the subject used from text Samuel 17:45. Rev. and Mrs. Smith were entirely pleased with the conditions which they found. It is the desire of the church that Rev. Smith take up the work officially around September 1st. To this suggestion Rev. Smith declined to commit himself. It is understood that no formal understanding has been reached with the people his Richmond charge, other than a unanimous vote was passed by that church to have him to remain with them. Rev. Smith has already received communication from many leading divines in and out of the State urging him to accept the pastorate of this great church made famous by the work of the late Dr. Mose W. D. Norman. James Gray, of 708 Bates Street, who was injured in an automobile accident on the Petersburg Pike some time ago, died last Tuesday as a result of this peculiar happenings. It is stated that the car in which he was riding struck a container on the side of the road and the contents of it splashed over him and his companion causing acid burns from which he died, due to exhaustion. Coroner James M. Whitfield is seeking further information concerning this peculiar case. IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving memory of my darling son. Dr. Frank Edwards Nelson who died July 23rd, 1927: Twelve months ago, dear son, Since God has taken you away, But your mother you left behind, Thinks of you each day. I little thought when you left home That I would never see you alive. That you so soon in death would sleep And leave me here to mourn. I have had my share of sorrow, I have suffered an awful loss. But for the sake of Jesus I will try to bear the cross. —Devoted Mother, Mary V. Nelson Our dear, affectionate brother, Dr. Frank Edwards Nelson. We were happy with our brother, In our home not long ago. As we lived and talked with pleasure, For we loved each other so. Sadly missed, Dr. T. W. Nelson, Harvie L. Nelson, Alva M. Johnson, Mayme N.

Great Republican Leader Suspended The Mississippi Lily-white's Score Heavily—Gase Postponed until Nov. 5th—Colored Voters of Country Aroused—Will Strike Back in Doubtful States. PLOT CHARGED BY HOWARD Six Accused of Patronage Trafficking Are Arraigned for Pleas at Bixoll, Miss. (Special to The New York Times) Washington, July 17. The Federal Government today suspended Perry W. Howard, negro Republican National Committee man from Mississippi, as attorney for the Department of Justice, and James W. Hubbard, Deputy United States Marshal for the South District of Mississippi. Both were indicted in Bixoll, Miss, on the charge of having received $1,500 as payment for an appointment in the United States Marshal's office. This is the first direct result of the inquiries by the Department of Justice and the subcommittee of the Senate Postoffice Committee into the alleged bartering of patronage in Southern States. Howard was arraigned here today on complaint of United States Attorney Leo S. Rover, on telegraphic advices from Mississippi. He pleaded not guilty before United States Commissioner H. C. Turnage and was released on $2,000 bail. He was charged with conspiracy to violate the law, prohibiting the sale of Federal offices and of receiving $1,500 for the appointment of A. P. Russell as a Deputy United States Marshal for the Southern District of Mississippi. He was ordered to appear at Jackson, Miss., on November 5th. Blames "Lily White" Opponents. Howard said after his suspension that he was being made a martyr to the cause of negro leadership. He blamed the indictment on his "illy white" opponents in Mississippi politics and asserted that he had no knowledge of the cause of the indictment. Howard, Hubbard and others were indicted as the result of charges presented to the Grand Jury in Biloxi, Miss., following an investigation by Mrs. Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General. The inquiry which produced the charges was initiated by George L. Sheldon, former Governor of Nebraska, now living in Mississippi, who heads the "illy white" faction which for years has sought to oust the group of negroes from Republican control in that State. The Senate subcommittee delayed its investigation into the sale of Federal offices in Mississippi pending action by the Grand Jury. It has power to investigate the bartering of all Federal patronage and intends to resume its investigation in the Southern States very soon. The committee has received reports of alleged widespread misconduct in the appointment of postmasters in nearly every Southern State. It was said today that these reports indicated a very serious situation in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and Texas. The charges sent to the committee in letters, if verified, it was stated, would bring very sensational developments which might lead to many indictments. Some members of the House, it was alleged in the reports received by the committee, had taken part in postoffice transactions which were being criticized. Six Plead Not Guilty. Biloxi, Miss., July 17.—As a parade of witnesses passed through the Federal Grand Jury room here to add to the accumulation of evidence relating to alleged trafficking in patronage by State Republican leaders, interest shifted from what was happening behind the closed doors of the jury chamber to open court, where six of the seven persons thus far indicted were arraigned for pleas. His arraignment was accepted by Sidney E. Redmond, negro attorney of Jackson, as an occasion for a broadside at his political enemies whom he charged in bringing about the indictment of himself, his brother, A. M. Redmond, Scott Hubbard, Deputy United States Marshal, and Ed L. Patton, negro Republican leader. The four, with Perry W. Howard, negro National Committeeman and Special Assistant Attorney are charged with obtaining $1,500 for the appointment of A. P. Russell to the Southern District Marshal's force last year. Redmond succeeded in obtaining an order from Judge Holmes transferring the cases against himself, his brother and Patton to the Jackson district for trial at the November First Degree Murder.

In "Bare Knees," we have a topic that is "cussed" and discussed in every family in America—the modern flapper, the bliss girl, and the girl. All are fully compounded here with a screen product that is entertainment plus, Virginia Lee Corbin is the actress selected and she makes the most of it. Her work is marvelous in bare knees. This story is staged in Hanford, Va. Rudolph Schildkraut. Nothing can be said about this well-known and universally loved character actor that is not already known. He is portrayed in role of the High Priest Caraphas in Cecil B. De Mille's, "The King of Kings," the title role in "The Country Doctor," and the feature part in "A Harp In Hock." An important role was also his in "Young April." In "The Main Event" Schildkraut enacts the role of the father of Johnny Regan, who is the boy's "Managing Dad." He fits the part in every respect. LARGE CROWD AT MOSQUE. The reopening of the Main Street entrance of the Mosque Theater to the colored people has given general satisfaction to the theater-going element of this part of Richmond's population. No better evidence of this fact was needed than the mass of humanity that took charge of the entire balcony, with a seating capacity of 1,400 in this palatial playhouse last Monday night. Automobiles drove up and delivered guests and the street cars and busses were also used in hastening to see the up-to-the-minute caste and program, which had been arranged by the management for this occasion. At no time was here any gathering on the outside. Those who came went in with tickets previously secured or purchased them quickly at the booth provided for that purpose. Those who came out hurried away and the whole scheme operated like clock work. The colored patrons were pleased and so was the Mosque management. The summer attractions will appear in these columns regularly. Performances begin at 2 P. M. and end around 11 P. m. term of court.

Limousine He is ready to keeping with his Johnson Morris, 507 N. Seventh Street, was given 36 months in jail Friday, July 18th, by Judge Ingram in the Police Court, upon several charges of "flim-flamming" colored folks. The Police Department scored heavily in the apprehension of the colored sharper who has been active in this city in fleeing colored people out of their money and personal effects. He gave his residence as being at 507 N. Seventh Street. He had two names—Johnson Morris and Lee Wood. One of the warrants read: Johnson Morris, C., 25, Lab, Va., 507 N. Seventh Street. On warrant did unlawfully obtain by false pretences and misrepresentations the sum of $10 in U. S. currency with intent to defraud the said Joe Burgess. Witnesses Charles Burgess and Joe Burgess. Arrest made by S. W. Reams. Morrison Wood, whichever you choose to call him, had been up on this charge before, but whose case had been continued, had a way of approaching colored men, who wanted work. If a chauffeur, he would offer them a profitable chauffeur's job. If a waiter, or house servant, he would vary the employment accordingly, but he would tell his prospective victim that the people wanting a man desired him to appear in uniform. To secure this it was necessary to make a deposit in an envelope with him. He would give them the name of some tailor to have his suit made and in sending him to the tailor he would make believe that he was returning to him the envelope in which his victim had previously placed his money. But Morris would divert his attention and then substitute a similar envelope, in which was blank paper, while he (Morris) would retain the envelope containing the money. Several of the victims appeared against him. One of them explained that Sergeant J. H. Harris had coached him in securing the arrest of Morris. In one instance, one of his victims was too smart for him. He asked him what time it was he made a guess and told him the time without directly looking at his watch. He saw him transpose the envelope. When he told him to get on a street car with him, he did so. When Morris leaped from the car in the middle of the block, he got off at the corner and pursued him, making the corner surrender to him his $10. He later turned him over to a police officer. An aged colored man was induced to go home and dress up, only to be fleeced of the little money he had FULTON NOTES Pastor C. A. Cobbs preached two excellent sermons at Mt. Calvary last Sunday.

A white man who showed little discretion and no indictment, found himself in rather a peculiar predicament last Thursday morning in the Police Court Judge John L. Ingram. He had sworn out a warrant for Charlotte Harrove, a brown-skin but comely girl upon the charge of stealing fifty dollars from him. He claimed that she solicited him and that he went to 1414 E. Broad St. near Jail Alloy, a disnuptable neighborhood. The other part of the recital he did not take the paints to admit. Charlotte claimed that she was unwilling and as he did not give her a dollar she took the money from his breeches, which were not at that time being worn by him. Just why Leslie Baker was in a bedroom with Charlotte Harrove was not satisfactorily explained to His Honor, so he sent Charlotte to fall for six months and ordered Leslie Baker, the white man, locked up and turned over to the Health Department. This means for the white man, the dreaded "blood test." Both of the parties found themselves in the Police Court pens.

But starvation that painful reducing exercises, and extreme methods of losing pounds and inches for Milady Stout are fading out of the picture. Dame Fashion has not relented in her tyranny against the stout figure. A note from Mine Jenny, the famous Parisian authority, says: "You will notice a circular cut that is complicated in conception, but arranged to fall with such becoming amphicity that the unobeservant will find it differs but little from the slim straight silhouette to which we have been accustomed so long. It is when the wearer moves that all the subtile charm of the new line is noticeable." But Fashion has achieved a comfortable means to this highly desirable slenderness. The tyrannical dame brooks no interference with her decrees and sno is now seeing to it that stout women get thin by the method she sponsors. The tried and often despareded of other means are not nearly so stylish since the appearance on the market of a new algue remouder. This figure remouder, or reducing garment, was created scientifically. A new material had to be invented. There had been reducing garments before which squeezed the figure down. But they were neither portable nor supply enough to permit grace or廉价 demanded. Minnie Mouse, Charmezoe, the material of the new reducing garment, distributes surplus flesh naturally, smoothing the bulges. And the garment made of it has no bones. (steel) stays or lacthes. "The wearer really has on a three-in-one when she dons this reducing garment, and she is unconscious of it, except, when she looks in the mirror and sees that she is tour of five inch slimmer than without it, says Miss Kathryn Cunningham designer for the B W Guild and Company of Chicago.

I DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART HAS IT GONNA BE FUNNY BALTIMORE, MD.—While America's "five o'clock cocktail" habit is gradually being replaced, especially in offices and factories, by the five o'clock tea, the United States, despite the part played by tea in its colonial history, still lags behind the other nations in the matter of tea drinking. Australia, consumes 11 pounds per cup, but consumes 8 pounds the cup that chefs but intoxicates, not England 9 pounds, Canada 6 and China 5 while the United States consumes only one pound of tea a year for each inhabitant. I KEPT THINKIN' ABOUT HOW THEY WERE GONNA COST ME TWENTY DOLLARS A DOZEN! TEE HEE! AUTOCASTER DUNKHE Some 97,000,000 pounds of the leaf were imported last year from Ceylon. India, Java, Japan, Formosa, China, and other tea-growing countries, enough, however, to supply every individual American with at least one cup of tea a day. The intense indifference is accounted for by W. M. Cormickm of Baltimore, a director of tL. Tea Club and Tea Association of the United States, by the fact that America is not as yet "tea wise," and not sufficiently up in tea lore to distinguish a good grade from the inferior va- riety or to choose the proper tea for the occasion. "Discrimination in teas," said Mr. McCormick. "is a good deal like discrimination in wines. The epicure will demand a red wine with his game and a white wine with his shell-fish. It will be good for every function and for every hour. "For breakfast, a fully fermented tea of the heavier type may be used, such as the Assams or Dargelings from India, the Ichangs or Keemuns from China, the selected cuts from Java and Ceylon, served with cream and sugar. For afternoon tea, and evening service, the more flavorful wines are better served or Petako types with their full-body liquor and rich aromas or the delicately flavored Formosa Colong or Japan tea are to be recommended. "Tea is not to be regarded as a stimulant, but rather as a nerve tonic, for, while it has a refreshing and exhilarating effect, it is not a depressant and there is no reactor following even its immoderate use. Moreover, it is not a stimulant vitamin B which is found in spinach and in certain fruits and vegetables, thus giving it an important dietetic value." By Dunkel Bailey Furniture Co., 1406 E.

In Boudoirland BY Intalie Hurston HOME BEAUTY SHELF Times have changed since Grandmother thought she was doing handsomely by her school girl beauty when she powdered her nose with pulverized starch and nourished her cheeks with white salve from the family medicine cabinet. Today some women use as many as forty different powders, cold creams, toning lotions, rouges, and what-have-you to conserve their facial charm. Following are the contents of my own home beauty shelf: Cleansing Cream—Absorbs powder, dust and impurities of skin without working them into pores. Massage Cream—Lubricates skin for the daily massage which is essential for supplying nourishment to epidermal cells. Toning Lotion—For removing all traces of creams and stimulating circulation. Tissue Cream—To be used at night for nourishing skin. Pore Paste—Essential for dry and sensitive skins as substitute for soap about nose and chin areas. Foundation — A greaseless cream or astringent lotion for checking oily secretions of over-active pores preliminary to powdering or rouging. Bath Powder — For whitening and scenting body and arms. Complexion Powder — For face and neck. Rouge — Gives cheeks normal, healthy glow. Lipstick — Emphasizes natural beauty of the lips. Toilet Water — Exudes pleasing aroma. P perfume — Heightens charm and individuality of toilet. Naturally, a home beauty shelf must mirror the activities of its owner. Mine reflects me as I am—an average, workaday woman. Of course, that of a society woman would be much more complete. Women of wealth, whose days are an endless cycle of golf, tennis, bridge luncheons, charity garden fetes, dinners and balls require special make-ups for day-time wear, for sports, and for evening.

We read with much interest the account of the indictment of Hon. Perry W. Howard, the Republican leader of Miss'sippi by a grand jury in that State upon a charge of conspiracy. We do not presume that there is a criminal lawyer of standing in this country, pho does not know that a charge of conspiracy is one of the most difficult allegations to prove and for that reason is seldom appealed to save for the purpose of affecting some other issues in a pending criminal case. It is not alleged that Howard took the money, but by the use of this dragnet, so to speak, the effort is made to supplant him in the political campaign now pending and to place in charge the "Lilly-white element", which was defeated at the Republican National Convention at Kansas City. The blow is not only one aimed at competent Negro leadership, but at the "old-line" white Republicans, who have always affiliated with colored men of the Perry W. Howard type. Similar tactics were resorted to in the fight on Walter L. Cohen of Louisiana. The indictments were dismissed. The gratifying part of the whole business is that Perry W. Howard is capable of taking care of himself. He is a high-toned, Christian gentleman. This kind of attacks can have but one effect. A reaction will be observable among the Southern voting blacks, who have gone into the Northern States and can with telling effect give the Republican leaders, who tolerate this kind of thing. "At Roland for their Oliver" It is to be hoped that they will vote a protest. If the Republicans care to risk the loss of votes, in that section of the country, where there is a prospect of carrying a State for the national ticket in order to pander to Negrohating animosity in a State, where the electoral vote is already for "Al" Smith, before a vote has been cast into the ballot boxes of the nation, then let them proceed to do it. Gentlemen, you had better call off your hounds, today; not tomorrow or the next day. You had better call them off, today. Tomorrow or the next day may be too late. "A hint to the wise is sufficient." You had better call them off, today. Colored people should stand squarely behind Ferry W. Howard. He is the center figure, so far as colored people in this country are concerned today. He is the only political leader that emerged from the Republican National Convention unscathed, unafraid and with the political power of a State within his grasp. They side-tracked Walter L. Cohen, the great Louisiana leader. They "blackacked" the uncompromising Ben Davis of Georgia. They threw out "Goose-neck Bill" McDonald of Texas and now they are assassinating Perry W. Howard of Mississippi'pi after he had won in the struggle. Gentlemen, this kind of business will not do. You must face an ectorate of colored folks, both in the North and in the South, but most particularly in the North. What are you going to do about it? "AI" Smith is slated for a political beating, but. "There is many a slip twist the cup and the lip". THE SMITH CAMPAIGN The militant wing of the Democratic Party, under the transcendent leadership of Governor Alfred E. Smith, of New York, aided and promoted by that superb political organization known as Tammany Hall, has captured the National Demo- You can have beautiful, luxuriant hair like hers!

Dissenters must either take orders or yield their positions to either new or old comers, who will obey without question. Insurrection and manifest disloyalty are being observed on all sides and it will be something of a job to complete the weeding out process, before or even after the campaign is well under way. The test of democracy is an oath of allegiance to Al Smith, of New York, and his pronounced policy to modify the Eighteenth Amendment by means of a modification of the Volstead Act. This has resulted in the practical withdrawal of the "bone dry" element from the Democratic Party. Robinson, of Arkansas, is all right with them, but Smith, of New York, is all wrong by the same process of reasoning. The virtual repudiation of the Prohibition plank in the platform adopted at Houston, Texas, was made by presidential candidate, Alfred E. Smith, and emphasized by the naming of John J. Raskob as Democratic National Chairman. He, in turn, declared himself to be in favor of whiskey in the home, as in contra-distinction to whiskey in the saloon or other public places. His record became at once a stench in the nostrils of Southern people and a red flag in the eyes of the Ku Klux Klan bull. He is recognized as a Republican and is a member of the Union League Republican Club of Philadelphia. Couple this with the fact that he is a devout THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Roman Catholic and the reasons for "old time cussings", so far as Governor Smith is concerned are complete. The bands of the country can make "There'll Be a Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight" a national anthem for the duration of this campaign. Governor Smith's National Committee officials announce that the amount of contributions will not be limited and that the Republican suggestion that the expenditures shall not exceed three million dollars in the entire country was practically treated with disdain. In the meantime, the following question was propounded: Is it probable that Governor Smith's campaign will cost more than that of other Democratic presidential candidates in recent years? There may be factors which will make it expensive, said Col. Lehman. In my opinion every State in the North, East and West may be considered debatable ground. That may increase expense. This, then tells the whole story. The "wet" element will furnish the "fats" from which the financial grease is to be obtained. Will the plans so successful in New York State operate in the other parts of the country. New York Republicans elected "Al" Smith Governor of that State. Can New York Republicans aided by those from other sections of the country place him inside of the White House of the nation?

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.

Others can practice law as well as he. Few can put important truths with emphasis such as his. Have you read what Reed said, enouncing the League of Nations, in 1919? "I decline to set up any government greater than that established by the fathers, greater than that baptized in the blood of patriots from the lanes of Leipzig to the crests of the Argonne, greater than the sacrificed by the tears of all the mothers whose heroic sons have gone down to death to sustain its glory and its independence. I decline to set up any government greater than the Government of the United States of America." Thanks largely to Reed's, good fighting, the wishy-washies did not succeed in dragging this country into a European super-government. Such a man ought to be in public, fighting to his last day. In big cities hundreds of thousands go for their holiday in automobiles. A philosopher said, "Most of the cars are not paid for. In thousands of cases they represent money that might have meant independence in old age." The automobiles represent money spent for health, pleasure and time saving. NOW. Not one in ten is really independent in old age, nor was he before automobiles came. Better buy a car, enjoy it, and use the added health and time saved to work for independence. No car, wisely used, ever made a man poor. Rear-Admiral Bradley A. Fiske offers a suggestion to discourage criminals The automobile is the criminal's "gateway." He drives up, robs a store, shoots down objectors, jumps into his automobile and is gone. Rear-Admiral Fiske suggests that following an automobile hold-up all into traffic be stopped in city streets. It suggests that the police sound the siren or four whistles, all police men must pass to it along. Traffic will stop, cars would be searched. Any man ignoring the sign could be identified as a criminal. THE GHOST On warships, says Admiral Fusek, when men get out of control the bugler sounds 'Attention!' Every man then stands where he is, or proves himself mutinous. Bolshevism gave peasants the land, taking it from worthless nobles. That suited the peasants. Then Bolshevism told the peasants how much they might charge for their crops, how much they must bring to the cities, etc. That did NOT suit the peasants. They cut down wheat acreage, causing dangerous shortage, and Russia is looking everywhere for cash wheat, with immediate delivery, and ships to carry it. You cannot safely interfere with man's most important mainspring, which is SELFISHNESS. Hope springs eternal. And, fortunately for human beings, a majority of us "listen with credulity to the whispers of fancy and pursue with eagerness the phantom of hope; expect that age will perform the promises of youth, and that the deficiencies of the present day will be supplied by the morrow." In Reno, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., recently divorced, married a charming lady, divorced the day before. In this country we have one automobile for every five people. Everybody could ride at the same time. Abyssina, with the fewest automobiles, has one car for every 91,743 people. The 1,900,000,000 human beings on earth have 29,700,000 automobiles, 24,000,000 of them in the United States. We certainly are prosperous. THE RICHMOND PLANET.

AUROASTER "Duchess of Bedford" Largest Ship to Reach Montreal Evangeline, of Acadia, Has a Big Ship Named for Her The new Canadian Pacific inner "Duchess of Bedford" is the largest and finest vessel ever to enter the port of Montreal Commanded ov Captain H. Sibbons, formerly skipped of the S. S. "Montroyal." she made the run from Liverpool to Montreal her maiden voyage, in exactly one week, and she tied up at her pier exactly 24 hours ahead of her schedule. Her average speed was the trip was 17.7 knots and Captain Sibbons praised her seaworthiness. The living ships of Bedford after whom the name was named, received a remarkable airplane flight to India, at 62 years of age which attracted the attention of the world. The "Duchess of Bedford" is of 10,000 gross registered tons and 30,000 tons displacement. She was especially designed for the St. Lawrence service, and is the largest vessel built for the cabin and tourist trade on the North Atlantic Canadian service. She is an all-burner and cost approximately 45,000,000 to build. The following figures will give some idea of her size: Length over all, 600 feet, with 596 Evangeline, of Ac EVANGELINE Years ago Longtellow wrote his classic poem "Evangeline" based on the expulsion of the Acadians from Acadia, New France, which is now the picturequeque province of Nova Scotia. There was an Acadian maiden, named Evangeline by Longfellow, who was separated from her lover and who searched for him along the Atlantic coast town and cities and finally found him dying in a Philadelphia hospital. Faithful unto death Evangeline made a strong appeal to the poet's fancy. The story was first told to Hawthorne and later feet between perpendiculars; beam. 75 feet; depth to the bridge, 53 feet; loaded draught, 27 feet 6 inches. On the "Duchess of Bedford's" official speed trials she covered the measured mile at a speed of 19.2 knots. She was built to Lloyd's highest classification by John Brown & Co., Scotland, and was launched on January 25 by Mrs. Stanley Baldwin wife of the Premier of Great Britain on the Clyde.

The "Duchess of Bedford" will make three cruises from New York to the West Indies during the coming winter season, a Christmas-New Year's cruise of 16 days duration, sailing December 22; and two cruises of 2 days each, sailing January 10 and February 11 respectively. p Named for Her ANGELING MEMORIAL PARK, GRAND PRE ANNAPOLIS ROYAL mortal chapel built by descendants of the expatriated Acadians in the park.

"The Land of Evangeline," Nova Scotia, long at the doorway of Boston, almost, is now but 26 hours by new from New York. Evangeline first had an immortal poem named after her. Now a majestic steamship not only bears her name but bears thousands from New York to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, on their way to the literary shrine at Grand Pr. Many them stop at Digby; others visit Annapolis Royal's quay for dort and museum in the midst of the great Port Bay founded in 1624 by the great Champlain four years before Quebec; still others tour the picturequeen Annapolis Valley to Kentville, Wolville, Grand Pre and Halifax, guardian of the Northern gate to the Dominion of Canada. But few pass through Grand Pre without stopping—Grand Pre, on the Basin of Minas, home of Evangeline. we and KELLY MILLERS' AUTHENTIC HISTORY OF NEGRO IN WORLD WAR A GREAT NEW WORLD WAR HISTORY In addition to its containing a graphic account of the War, includes many chapters on subjects of vital interest.
