THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. THAT PASS SCANDAL. GRAND JURY MEETS MONDAY, Oct. 1 VOLUME XLV, NO. 47 THAT GRAND J Many Colo eral Statut (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) The pass scandal involving as it does numbers of colored people in this city in particular and the State in general, has been the topic of conversation practically everywhere here. The failure to give the names of persons who are to be arrested, or who either had in their possession at some time one of these passes, has led to a general whispering cam paign, in which the names of many persons hereabouts have been connected. Alfred Chapman, chief of the pass bureau of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway is still in jail, being unable or unwilling to furnish the $5,000,000 bond under which he he's being held. CONSPIRACY CHARGED. It is alleged that through one or more preachers he distributed these passes and received money for them at much less than the railroad rate of travel. The opportunity came when the Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. of W. and the B. M. C. of Odd Fellows met at Chicago recently. The round trip fare was about $45.72 and these tickets are alleged to have been sold for $15.00 and $20.00, while annual passes were furnished at $3.00 each. The collusion between the agent for the C. ound O. R. R. and certain outside persons enabled the scheme to be put over, until the large number of passengers arrived at Gordonsville. EXTRA COACH NEEDED. The regular train on its way West from Washington was unable to accommodate this heavy influx of passengers and the conductor arranged for an extra coach to go westward. The same conductor was astounded when he found only five regular tickets among the passengers, the remainder being passes issued by Alfred Chapman and his associates at $15.00 and $20.00 each and for which no money had been paid over to the railroad company. An investigation followed. It is alleged that an air-mail letter was sent to Chiug warning the persons, who held these passes. SCENTED DANGER Some of them scented danger and purchased return tickets. A visit to the Assistant United States District Attorney's office and an interview with that able official, Callom B. Jones, who occupies that position, disclosed the fact that they have on file all of the tickets or passes which were used in this transaction, together with the names of the persons who signed them. Many of them signed the passes as Revereed, that is as preachers, although they were not preachers. These people will be summoned to court and a grand jury will be asked to indict them under certain statutes when it is convened October 1 THE LAW VIOLATED. They are Section 37 and Section 215 of the Penal Code. The former deals with conspiracy to defraud and the latter refers to the use of the mail to defraud. In the matter of conspiracy the punishment is a fine of not more than $10,000 and imprisonment for not more than two years. In using the mails to defraud the punishment is a fine of not more than $1,000.00 and imprisonment for not more than five years. Under the transportation act, 49th Section, the punishment is not less than $100.00 or more than $2,000.00. Only ministers of the gospel or charity purposes, employees and direct members of their families, and elecmosnyary institutions are permitted to have use of them. (Norfolk Journal and Guide) NORFOLK, VA., Sept. 22—Rev. T. D. Lee, who was arrested Saturday and released under bond for his appearance before the grand jury in the United States District Court in Richmond in October, in connection with the probe of Federal agents of alleged wholesale issuance of rail- road passes, denied Thursday morn- ing in an interview with a Journal and Guide reporter, that he had any connection or correspondence with Alfred Chapman, white, former head of the C. and O. pass bureau, and declared that he procured all the passes from Rev. J. S. Hatcher, of Roanoke, Va., in perfectly good faith. His sworn statement to the au- thorities, a copy of which he showed to the reporter, follows: Q. How did you come in possession of the information that there was free transportation to the Elks convenient in Chicago? A. I was at a meeting at Hampton Va. and got my information from the Rev. J. S. Hatcher, colored. of Roanoke, Va. and on my return home I sent him $15.00 for which he sent me a pass in favor of Rev. T. D. Lee, Minister of Religion, not good on sleeping and parlor cars, reading Norfolk, Va. to Chicago, Ill. and return, July 6th, 1928, expires October 31st, 1928. I could not see anything wrong with this pass then for I used it with my wife making the trip to Chicago and return. I spoke to several of my friends about the lower rate to Chicago, they asked me to get them one if I could. Later on I wrote to Rev. J. S. Hatcher on several occasions, each time sending him $15.00 for each pass, giving him the man or woman's name that wanted the pass. At no time did I request one of those passes to be issued in a man's name as a Minister of Religion. The first man that I received one of those passes for was for my brother, J. S. Lee, of Newport News. I noticed that this pass was issued for the Rev. J. S. Lee. I did not request it to be issued in this way. I sent the Rev. J. S. Hatcher $15.00 for this pass, which my brother gave me. I received several other passes from the Rev. J. S. Hatcher for which I sent him $15.00 each. To the best of my knowledge, I got one for each of the following: Bertha Holt, Georgia Brewer, Mable Lee, Grace Cornicks, Elizabeth Lowry, Laura Carter, Edgar Clark, H. T. Clark, P. J. Brown. Q. Is Brown a minister? A. No, sir. I think he is an insurance man. Q. Are the two Clarks ministers? Did you get a pass for H. T. Clark and Edgar Clark? A. Yes I did for H. T. Clark and Edgar Clark of Newport News, Va. and neither are ministers of religion Q. Rev. Lee, in making requests for these passes to the Rev. J. S. Hatcher, did you always give the name of the pary that wanted the pass and did the pass come made out of that name? A. Yes sir. In one case I got a pass for P. J. Brown of Norfolk Va. and the pass came in the name of the Rev. P. J. Brown minister of religion. I returned this pass to the Rev. J. S. Hatcher for correction and the Rev. J. S. Hatcher malled the pass back to Brown. Q. What is the Rev. J. S. Hatcher's address in Roanoke, Va? A. James S. Hatcher, 51 Gilmer Avenue, N. E., Roanoke, Va., Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church. Q. I have given you the names of several other passes that were rode out of Norfolk. Va. to Chicago, do you remember if these passes were gotten for these people? A. I have given you the names of those that I am positive of getting passes for, there might be some others that I do not recall. Q. You state that you had no idea that there was anything wrong with those passes? A. I examined each one carefully and each appeared to be right, as I received each of them from Rev. J. S. Hatcher, who is a minister of religion and I did not think he would give them to me if they were wrong. If I had thought they were wrong. I would not have made a trip with my wife. Signed, Rev. T. D. LEE Witnesses: H. E. Bridges W. H. McKeen RICHMOND ,VIRGIN1A, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1928. LOCAL CHURCHES WILL LIFT COLLECTION ON SUNDAY.

DEATH OF MR. ROBERT T. CHILES Mr. Robert T. Chiles, of King William County, Va., died at his residence August 24, 1928 at 6 o'clock A. M. He had been sick since March, having undergone an operation at that time, from which he never recovered. The funeral services were held at Mangochik Baptist Church, Monday, August 27, 1928, at 2 o'clock P. M. Rev. W. H. Ford, the pastor, delivered the funeral eulogy, in a most pathetic manner. Mr. Chiles had been a member of the church for twenty-seven years, and the resolution from the church attested to his worth as a citizen and Christian gentleman. He was widely known, and the funeral was the largest ever attended in this section. He is survived by his widow, four daughters, one son, seven sisters and three brothers. The funeral arrangements were in charge of Undertakers J. E. Johnson & Co. of Ashland, Va. They rendered admirable and efficient services to the satisfaction of the vast assemblage.

He can be set up and he can be knocked down with impunity, and with blatant fury. Courage is indeed a wonderful thing, but it is not courage but cowardice when one seeks to launch an attack against a man of straw instead of against the foeman with whom one would rather not have controversy, and from whom one prefers to flee in fear and trembling.

Publisher of the Pittsburgh Courier and Chairman of the Publicity Committee, Colored Voters' Division, Republican National Committee, informed mutual friends of Mr. Church before his article appeared that he (Mr. Vann), not only wrote but took full responsibility for the article which appeared in The Courier, describing Mr. Church's acrobatic activities during the campaign years 1920, 1924 and 1928. Mr. Church's Courage "If it pleases Mr. Church to throw his shining lance in my direction instead of in the direction of the man who knew of, and described his acrobatic activities during the campaign years referred to, and who has exposed them to the mirthful gaze of the public, I am well content with the exhibition he makes of his 'courage' and his self-sufficiency. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. FATALLY NICHOLAS the Heart the Quarters Virginia Tucker, age 20 years, was in the Police Court Monday, September 24, charged with the murder of Martha Nicholas. The weapon used was a pocket knife. Coroner James M. Whitfield stated that one wound was in the left side. It did not enter the chest. The other wound was in front between the fourth and fifth ribs in front and the blade went to the heart. No definite information has been given as to the cause of the row, but it is intimated that there is "a man in the case." Attorney Leith S. Bremner represents Virginia Tucker. Coroner Whitfield held an inquest Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock. The following are the statements: Herman Fitzgerald. 900 S. Lombardy St. "Martha Nicholas is my sister. She was cut the last gone Saturday night by Virginia Tucker. Martha was upstairs at 602 S. Allen Avenue when she was cut. Virginia cut Martha with a pocket knife. I do not know where she got the knife. She had it in her hand when I saw it. I do not know the reason she cut her. They were quarrelling. Martha had no weapon or any kind. I was asleep and their fusing woke me up. I took place late Saturday night about 12:30. When Virginia stabbed Martha, they were both standing up facing each other. I saw Virginia cut her or hit at her three times. After she cut Martha. Virginia walked out. I do not know what she did with the knife. Nance Lewis. Louis Nicholas and Bette Fitzgerald were there. Martha was laid across the bed after the cutting. Colled un ambulance and tried to get Dr. Jackson. Martha was taken in a private automobile to St. Phillips Hospital." Bettie Fitzgerald. 900 B. S. Lomhardy St. said: "I was in the room when Virginia Tucker cut. Martha Nicholas and I saw her do it. She cut her with a knife. I do not know what they were quarreling about. They woke me up by their fighting. I stood up in the bed. I did not see her cut her but once and that was right here (She pointed to her breast) and Martha tell across the bed. Martha was cut when she was standing by the window. She did not have any weapon." Attorney Bramer stated to us that Martha Nicholas cut Virginia Tucker and the wounds on her body will show it. This means of curbing a plea of self-defense. L. Vann rship R. Church's "Mr. Church says he is trying to help Mr. Hoover's cause and that of the Republican Party. His actions, however, suggest that he is laboring under hallucinations of super personal grandeur and self-exaltation in his all-too-apparent attempt to destroy party harmony. He cannot demonstrate his loyalty to the Republican Party or to Mr. Hoover, however, by seeking to destroy the influence of John R. Hawkins and those who have been designated by Dr. Work. Chairman of the Republican National Committee, to represent him in the management of the Colored Voters' Division. "For myself, I can only say: I did not contribute in any way whatsoever a single line, a single sentence, a single paragraph, or a single suggestion to the article Mr. Robert R. Church, of Memphis, Tennessee, says he is 'informed' I wrote, and which he knows I did not write." THE HONORABLE LEMUEL STEALIN A NOOZE, EH? THINKS HE'S IN CHURCH AS IT WERE!

I do not suppose there is one family among my readers unable to confess to some sort of black sheep; some boy or girl that persists in going wrong in spite of everything. Much is said of preachers' sons who turn out badly and the implication is that they have been treated too strictly in their youth, so that in later years they rebel. Some say that children should be carefully disciplined and rigidly instructed, but such children have not always done so well in later years. In fact I have known the children of utterly loose and careless parents to turn out to be strict models of propriety, and others who have had every advantage of favorable environment go swiftly to the dogs. Some say that children should be given their freedom and allowed to do as they please, but that does not always work. You may talk about your heredity and about a child inheriting the bad traits of his grand uncle and about environment and about the whole trouble with children being that they are not properly disciplined. All this is very interesting reading. But the fact remains that the irresponsible and wayward sheep is in almost every family of my acquaintance. Not long ago a prominent banker showed me a letter he had from his son, telling him that if he did not receive some money immediately he would commit suicide. The reply of the banker may not have been judicious, but it was interesting. He said to his son, "I have no money to send you, but don't let that deter you." MT. TABOR BAPTIST CHURCH.

If You Wish Perfect Cup of Tea, Follow This Recipe DANTILLY SERVED TEA IS CHARMING DETAIL OF SOCIAL FUNCTIONS ONE TEASPOONFUL TO EACH CUP. BALTIMORE, MD.—Can you make BALTIMORE, MD.—Can you make a cup of tea correctly? Probably not. Not one American housewife in a hundred can. Fifty million people in the United States drink tea and, though it is as easy to make good tea as bad tea, comparatively few know what perfectly made tea tastes like. Here is the recipe for brewing the perfect cup of tea as given in a bulletin issued by the Tea Club of the United States, an organization of authentic commonsurprise and comprising the leading tea merchants of the nation. 1. Allow one teaspoonful of tea for every cup. 2. Rinse 'teapot with boiling water 3. Place the tea leaves in an earthenware strainer in an earthenware pot. 4. Pour freshly boiled water over the tea leaves immediately. 5. Let the tea steep from three to five minutes according to strength desired. 6. Remove strainer with tea grounds, and the tea is ready to serve. "One teaspoonful to a cup is standard," says the author. "Do not reduce the amount of tea wish to decrease the strength of the tea." duce the time of infusion to three minutes or less. "Many housewives make the mistake of using water from the hot water faucet. Water that has simmered or boiled for any length of time is fatal to good tea. An earth-ware pot is essential. Metal pots set up a chemical change in the tea, which is ruinous to its taste. "Making tea," the bulletin adds, "is a matter of detail. Follow the recipe and you will brew as desired tea as ever delighted an opacure. Change single detail and you will make the flavor of perfection.

If your mirror gives back a reflection of hollow cheeks and protruding cheek bones in spite of your "Eat and Grow Fat" diet, don't allow your face to grow any longer with disappointment. These boudier hints will add twelve pounds to a thin woman's looks: First, there is the matter of color, and this applies to cosmetics as well as clothes. Affect "blood colors," tones of rose, pink, brown, violet, and the like which contain a lot of red. Select powders and rouges with a good deal of pink in them. Powders that are basically white and rouges with yellow foundations are trying even to healthy, robust women. Then, with regard to make-up. Thin-faced women should use two day-time powders: a darker one for the upper part of their face, a lighter one for the lower part of their face and neck. Two-toning the skin this way minimizes the hollows. Her jouce—and because of the necessity of a super-blending kind, I specially recommend paste rouges—should describe an equilateral triangle, the top of the triangle following her cheek bone from about three-quarters of an inch from her nose to an inch side of her ear. Her lipstick shade should be with her mouth. She should shadow her eyelids with broad sweeps of brown or blue eyepaste, and macarra the lashes to the corners of her eyes. A hollow-schewed woman should arrange her hair over her forehead to make a perfect circle out of her other long oval face. She should also curl her locks about her cheeks, either earlly curled or straight, Subscribe to W. A.

Davis, of Cleveland, Ohio to the Executive Committee of the Colored Voters Division of the Republican National Committee, if his record is to be considered as an asset. Brought down to the final equation, the fight now raging in Republican colored circles is but a contest to displace the old, experienced colored leaders, who have for nearly a quarter of a century kept the colored Republicans in their respective States for the Republican Party. An effort was made by Col. Theodore Roosevelt, under the leadership and advice of Dr. Booker T. Washington to do the same thing and it ended in disastrous failure. As a result, colored men were practically eliminated as representative office-holding factors. There is a repetition of this in the organization of this Colored Voters Division of the Republican National Committee. We are gratified to read the denial of Hon. Emmett J. Scott that he wrote the article attacking Hon. Robert R. Church, of Tennessee. We take it that this will settle the matter, for we could not conceive how a public man of Mr. Scott's learning, ability and reputation for fair dealing could do such a thing. We presume that Mr. Church will not pursue the matter further unless he has stronger evidence against Mr. Scott than that cited in his first publication. We can now get down to the issue in the premises. By falling to reply to the statement that he and his colleague, Hon. John R. Hawkins are non voters, we presume that this point is well taken. It was a serious oversight in accepting these appointments to the exclusion of real voters. Robert L. Vann, except for his fiery disposition and lack of self-control might have been a good selection in this respect. He does not "carry water on but one shoulder" and you can always find out just where he stands upon any question. Whatever injury there is has been done and it has been practically decided that there shall be no change of leadership in the face of the enemy. So, "there ye are." DR. DUROIS' CONCLUSIONS. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, under the caption, "The Possibility of Democracy in America" deals in the October number of the New York Crisis with the political situation, with the disfranchisement of Negroes in this country, and the disfranchisement of the white people as well. He says: For several years after the World War I used to talk concerning the results of the War, and to say that notwithstanding the slaughter and the upheaval that always accompany war we were going to have in the world an extension of democracy as a result of the fighting; that the democracy which formerly had ruined in restricted fields—in the election of officials, in the so-called political world—we were going to see extended into industry, so that in regard to work and wages and income, we were going to have democratic control. But I write today to apologize and change my thesis. I was wrong in what I was predicting. I see today without any doubt that instead of the great question of democracy being an extension of democratic control into further territory, the problem that faces us in America and faces the world is the question as to whether we can keep the territory which we thought democracy had already conquered; that, as a matter of fact, in every single culture country there is today a fight to retain democracy, and that reaction and oligarchy are beginning to hold up their heads in the world and triumph. Moreover, here in the United States, here where we have essayed the greatest experiment in democracy, we have perhaps the greatest failure. When Dr. DuBois admits failure in any of his previously prepared deductions and announces the unknown quantity which he had mathematically found to be correct as being incorrect, then we are on the verge of the coming millennium. Any ordinary leader in the South land, who had the experience, extending over one or two decades in this section could have told him that he was "chasing a phantom" and had reached an erroneous solution of the problem. Not even war will change inborn prejudices. Only time can do it and a very long time at that. Nothing could show this more than the present presidential campaign. There are momentous questions: the right of American agriculture, the monopoly of water power, the role of organized wealth in industry, the future of organized labor, the distribution of national income. Most of these important questions we are not facing in this campaign. Why? Because the average voter does not understand how to face them. He finds himself vainly pawing the air in the so-called elections. He finds that he cannot exercise democratic control because he is not free to vote. The above is the gospel. It is as true as Hoiv Writ. In the September Crisis I showed how, where and why American Negroes were not free to vote. But how about white Americans? Are they disfranchised? And still again: It might be assumed that the practical disfranchisement of the great majority of Negroes chiefly by race and not by condition had no effect upon the state and nation, but simply upon them; but the singular thing is, and the point which this paper is seeking to emphasize, that this disfranchisement of the Negro has had an astonishing effect on the voting of other persons in the states concerned and in the whole nation so far as the mass of voters is concerned. Of course they are, with this difference. The Negroes are disfranchised and know it and the white Americans are disfranchised and do not know it. As a matter of fact, many of them, being blind in their own concept will vehemently protest and affirm that they are not disfranchised. This is done too, when the tallying of the returns on the "day after" shows that they have been disfranchised. There should be no astonishment on the part of an economist like Dr. DuBois. It is a logical result and is according to a fundamental rule of ethics, just as certain and as sure as the mixing together in the chemist's tube of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen is bound to produce a liquid, which the whole world calls water. Dr. DuBois then follows with a fundamental fact. He says: First, in the Southern States it encourages oligarchy. Secondly, it makes oligues to nullify, not simply the 14th and 15th Amendments, but the 19th Amendment, giving the right vote to women. And finally, it entirely vitilifies the normal distribution of voting power throughout the nation and makes a third party impossible. Let us take these points up in order. And again: One of the most interesting statements on clique government in the South comes from Henry W. Anderson, a rich white Virginia politician, who spoke at the Institute of Public Affairs held at the University of Virginia, August 19, 1927; "The Negroes were disfranchised. The Negro vote has since been so small that it is no longer a material factor in the political situation. But the process of disfranchisement did not stop there. The machinery of discrimination, devised primarily for this purpose, was then employed by the dominant party organization to effect a disqualification of a large proportion of the white population opposed to that organization, while unchallenged control of one political group permitted or encouraged political corruption. As a result of these measures the vote qualified or cast in the Southern States has been so reduced that it includes only a small minority of the population. So small is this vote that the State and local office-holders constitute or easily control a majority. Governors and other state officers are sometimes elected by less than 10 per cent of the population of voting age." Further comment is unnecessary. Selah.

Source of Rich Profits to Canada Farms SIRLOINE ON THE MOOR PRIDE OF THE FARM DAIREN. MANCHURIA—These are bonanza days in Manchuria. Even times in the California and Texas gold or the opening up of Oklahoma territory are recalled by Chinese immigrants by the hundreds of thousands from the war-torn provinces of Shantung and Chihli attracted by prospects of peace and millions of acres of rich land and rice, for farming, are streaming into this "garden of China," eager to make new homes for themselves. The yellow hordes are arriving at Dairen at the rate of 2,000 a day, while more than 1,000,000 will have migrated to this land of opportunity before the year is out. Japan has made this possible by transplanting western civilization in the fertile valleys of what is known as the three eastern provinces of China where, between the Liuzhou peninsula and the up-to-date railroad town of Changchun lie some 600 miles of steel rails and a narrow railroad zone protected by Japanese troops and developed by Japanese capital until it has become the most peaceful and progressive region of the Par East. In the wake of the South Manchuria railroad owned and operated by Japan, have come modern mid-to-order cities with paved streets electric lights, parks playgrounds, public schools, hotels both public and private, and impressive rows of commercial buildings.

The Woolworth stores, growing amazingly, now have eighteen stores in Germany, called 25 and 50 planning stores, the equivalent of 5 and 10 cents. American business understands its business. And when it deals in foreign countries it buys its goods in the foreign countries, thus keeping everybody happy while making profits. On Saturday the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor will meet at Atlantic City and decide, probably, not to take sides in the national campaign. Both national candidates are all right, says Labor. That is sensible. Labor, race and religion should be kept out of politics. Besides, organized labor cannot deliver its men, and does not help itself by a declaration with no result. Mr. Green, head of the federation, is a wise American. Miss Katherine Locke, of Youngstown, Ohio, travelled miles and miles over the sand of Sahara thinking the sun would bring back her voice that she lost. IT DID. She visited the Glouf of Marakesh, if you know who he is, in a dwelling 3,000 years old in the Atlas Mountains. The Glouf probably knows as little about us as we know about him. More interesting to many Americans, Miss Locke saw at Timbuktu, pens where American slavers once bought slaves from native chiefs. Young men, playing jazz music in night clubs now, would be amazed to see these pens where their ancestors once stopped on the way to America. They would bless the slave traders that brought the ancestors here. We never know what is for our good. John Henry Mears and Charles B. D.

Ellen Terry after eighty years of happy, successful life, told her friends they must not put on mourning, but wear gay colors, and rejoice in her long life, with rest at the end. She was a sensible woman, but mourning is more than honor paid to the dead. It affords relief to those that survive. The widow of India, if permitted, would be burned alive with her husband's body. Savage widows cut and other-wise mutilate themselves to express grief. To many civilized women, a long black veil makes sorrow easier to bear. Mr. Hoover, kindly, but firmly, says "I shall kiss no baby for publication." That is wise, and kind to the babies. No intelligent mother allows ANYBODY to kiss her baby. All adults carry in their mouths disease germs, harmless to the carriers, but dangerous to an infant in whom the protecting white corpuscles are undeveloped. Mr. Hoover did, however, hold the baby while its older brother took a photograph. He liked babies.

But while inducements have been made to Japanese settlers, experiments in colonization have met with scant success. The stolid Chinese farmer is content with little. He is essentially a pionder, and he accepts gratefully what the country has to offer. After having lived on grass and roots in China, he is being robbed alternately by the tax collector and the bandit, a field of rice or soy beans suggests full dinner pails to him. The Japanese is more fastidious. He is frugal, according to western standards of living, but not frugal enough, nor is he content to wait for ripening crops, but demands immediate returns. He requires also daily hot bath and schools for his children, institutions available in the railroad zone, but hardly to be had elsewhere in Manchuria. Moreover, he finds the climate and the that monotonous landscapes of Manchuria anything but to his liking.

The newcomers, however seem to be readily adapting themselves to western invasions. They have learned how to improve their breeds of sheep and cattle; how to rotate their crops and how to enrich the soil. Steam electric power and gasoline-driven machinery are supplanted the native ox-cart, the windmill and the primitive water wheel. What Japan has accomplished in a historical way in Manchuria seems about a miracle, and the American tourist from the observation platform of the Dairen express finds difficulty in reconciling preconceived impressions of the Orient with factory chimneys, electric trams, power houses, tractors, cranes, and steam shovels all in the same picture with crumbling mud walls, thousand-year-old lamaseries and shrines. Here if anywhere, East and West meet. These contrasts have been made possible to a great extent through Japan's success in freeing Manchuria from civil war. China, too deeply sunk in her own civil wars to get any perspective, has been locked with longing eyes on Japan's achievement, and now that she has been putting her house in order, has been seeking, despite treaty reservations, to duplicate Japan's success in Manchuria. What is regarded by Japan as a serious menace to her program is the tendency on the part of the Chinese to ignore treaties, and in violation of the terms thereof to construct times paralleling the Japanese railroad. Several of these competing railways already have been started, but Japan's protest, weak at first, is being firmer, because if the violation of the treaties is connived at it, establish dangerous precedents, and naturally Japan will insist on her rights.

D. HAZARDS The little red pest now infesting lawns and woodland shades is known by several names, any of which may be an alias. The chigee or chigger, or jigger-call him and her anything you wish—the bite is certain and similar. The treatment is the important thing. After the picnic, go home and wash with strong salt and soap solution Rinse with clear water, dry carefully. Then apply a solution—say five to ten per cent of carbolic acid and camphor in equal parts of witch-hazel and glycerine. Be careful to apply no more than needed. Vacationists and rural residents may well be apprehensive of the bites of venomous serpents. The most sensible suggestion I have heard of this year is—carry a small but powerful suction-syringe in your kit, ready for instant use. If bitten cord the limb tightly above the wound; with a clean pen-knife, scarify through and about the wound freely. Don't be afraid of a little blood. Work, and work fast. Apply the syringe to the area scarified, and draw every drop that can be "pulled" out. You may stop absorption of the venom completely and escape serious trouble. Syringe should have a wide, smooth "muzzle." If you can buy one, improvise. If you can buy one, might answer. Of course summon wielders as quickly as possible. A wound by rysty nail, or barbwire—w by a splinter may be serious. If you have no antiseptic at hand, sizzle the wound with a lighted match—painful but effective. Riak no germelide weaker than tincture of lodine or carbolic acid—full strength is often the safest, swabbing the wound inside, with a small applicator. The instant killing of bacteria is safest. Don't wait for trial by jury. Four o'Clock Tea FOR A COZY CUP AMONG FRIENDS Any users are beginning quite generally to adopt the delightful English custom of serving 4 o'clock tea. This 4 o'clock tea may be served in several very simple ways. The hostess may choose to serve the tea from a large serving tray which will hold the teapot, china, silver, sugar, and lemon or cream. A dainty linen cloth will enhance the attractiveness of the tray. A rosebud or some other flower may be laid at one side of the tray when the last arrangements are complete. When the tray is taken into the living room, it is placed on a table before the hostess for service. Food accompaniments are passed completely. If the hostess desires, a tea cart may be used. The tea service and food are placed on this conveyance, which is then wheeled to the sun parker, porch, or living room. A bud vase containing just one flower adds much to the charm of this service.

And this they recommend not only for the convenience and decorative value of the mirror itself—but for the many clever tricks it performs for us. Placed where it reflects a view through a window or doorway, a mirror adds distance to the room; makes a small room seem much more spacious. Hung opposite a bright picture, a length of colorful drapery or the glow of a lighted lamp, it doubles the life and interest of the room. In fact, there is not a room in the house but is made more attractive by the proper use of a mirror—a decorating secret well worth remembering, since it is so economically achieved. *** Well-Balanced Meatless Meal Cream of beet soup—Macaroni au gratin—Escaloped tomatoes—Cauliflower—butter sauce—Lettuce—Russian dressing—Butterscotch pie—Non-stimulating drink. *** New Recipe for Liver Loaf Dissolve 1 tablespoon gelatin in 3/4 cup cold water and add to 1/4 cups hot tomato sauce.

THE HUMAN SPHINX by Ellis Parker Buller ILLUSTRATIONS BY REWAYSON EIGHTH INSTALLMENT WHAT MAPPENED BEFORE Season Judd, amateur detective, and Widman D., an undertaker, are visiting J. Dr. Bees, eccentric man of wealth, at the "J. Dr. Bees." Suddenly the household is shaded to find that John Drane has the same interest. The dead man is first seen as a son, he said, then by Amy Drane and John Judd. The latter faints. The officers call and investigations John Dr. Beesington is called, and after going the condered John Drane, makes a accounting revelation to Amy Drane to their "uncle" is not a man but a woman. Dr. Beesington discounts the theory of smoke, saying that Drane was definitely curled. Dr. Beesington comments on the fact that all the servants in the house- hold of Drane are sick, and that Drane has never discharged a servant for ill health. Dick Brennan, the detective, arrives to investigate the case. Brennan questioned the persons in the house, asking Amy if anyone had any rea- Amy says no one had any reason to kill her uncle. After further questioning she, the Brannan partner, has told the story of his acquaintance with the actual Drane in Riverbank. Simon does the solution of the case, serving as Brannan's partner. Brennan accepts the protocol immediately. Judd confides that Jolly can't what she says she is. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "What do you mean by that?" Brannan asked. "You mean she's covered?" "Oh, black my cats, no!" Simon Judd exclaimed. "If I know folks she's the straightest sort there is—and the nicest, too. She ain't this hate John Drane's niece, nor yet his grand-niece—that's what I mean. You hear her say off that rigamarole about John Drane's brother Daniel goin' to California in 78, and marryin' a Mary O'Ryan, and havin' a son Thomas that was this Amy's pa? And about this Thomas Drane marryin' some Amelia Gartner that come to be this Amy girl's ma? Well, black my cats, it's all true except none of it! There wasn't no brother Daniel. No, sir! I take my oath to that. I knew that Drane family as well as I know myself, and there wasn't no Daniel in it. That's all Iea." "Are you sure of that?" Breman asked. "Why listen!" said Simon Judd. "This girl got the story from John Drane. John Drane told her this Daniel Drane went West in 78. In 78 John Drane was twenty-five years old and him and me had been chums since we was born—never a day we didn't see each other. I was at their house more than I was at my own. I knew them from A to Z. And there wasn't any Daniel Drane, I tell you. There was just two kids an the family—John and this sister of his named Ella, and I knew them both all the time." "He made up this story to tell the girl," said Brennan. "Because he was a woman," said Simon Judd," and hadn't no children to love and cherish. He was she," mind you, Brennan. And when she—this John Drane, whover she was—got along oldish she had to have some child to love. So, If I ain't an old fool and ignorant wrong, she picked out some orphan child somewhere and lot of lies. Just where a kid to come back here and love her when she got too old and feeble to fuss with this Wall Street stuff and so on." "This may be mighty important if it is true." Brennan said. "It might account for the murder—some connection of the child, her father perhaps, wanting money. Something along that line." "It's true," Simon Judd insisted. "Why, look here, you! This old woman, this John Drane, made it all up. Take the names—Mary O'Ryan was a girl we both knew out there in Riverbank when we were all kids. She did out there only last year. And Daniel! she had a brother, Daniel! she had a Amy's mme—she named kid we both knew in Kiev, when we were kids to go out there, we got yet, on there, she had a brother Thomas—that gave the notion of a "Thomas Drane." You go out to Riverbank and you girl find that's all the solemn truth; you go out to California and I bet you don't find any trace of a Daniel Drane, or a Mary O'Ryan his wife, or a Thomas Drane, or of—" "Hush!" Brennan said. "The girl is coming." Amy returned with the notebook for which Simon Judd had sent her and almost immediately Mrs. Vincent came out, leaning on the arm of Bob Carter. She had been resting on her bed, being in great pain, and had been obliged to put on a dress before she could answer Brennan's summons. The poor woman seemed to be in a very bad state indeed, but she did her best to answer Brennan's questions, and her answers were full and quite circumstantial. She was a widow, she said, and had been employed by the supposed John Drane for five years. He had personally engaged her as housekeeper at an employment agency in the city where she had registered, and his offer had been a great relief to her because it had been hard to find a position on account of her poor health. He probably would not have taken her she said, except that the house had been for two months without a mistress, the former housekeeper having died. The wages were all she could have expected. She said, furthermore, that she was a widow and the aidescedents she gave were such that Brannen could easily look up. Mr. Drane had always left the household expenses to her. On the first of each month—about the seventh, to be exact—he had given her a check for the estimated expenses; he gave her extra money; if they ran less he made the check less. He was always very particular in checking the bills with her but they had never had any quarrels; he was fair that way. She had never had, she said, the slightest idea that "John Drane" was a female. He was peculiar in some ways but no more so than other people. She considered him a finicky old bachelor—his shaving twice a day, for instance, which she now saw was in order that the lack of a beard might not be noticed, has seemed to her merely one exemplification of his "old-maklishness." Very few people came to the LEWAYSON Mrs. Vincent Is Led In For Questioning house, Mrs. Vincent said, although the young folk began to come after Amy's arrival, and Mr. Drane liked that. He encouraged it, telling Mrs. Vincent to do all she could to make the place pleasant for them. Mr. Dart, the undertaker, had been the most frequent visitor, often coming to play cards and staying the night. The blue room had been used by him so often that the servants usually called it "Mr. Dart's room." Personally she did not like Mr. Dart much; he was apt to be "buppish" when Mr. Drane was not present. By "uppish" she meant "bossy," she explained, for he acted as if he thought he had a right to order the servants around, which he hadn't. He never acted so when Mr. Drane was around, of course. Mr. Drane always had a way with him and knew how to keep people in their places. "This isn't please said, and there is listening to all what you know if there is any like to do you need. Bob Carter to arm. "He's right," he has and is sit in it a while. We've over ourselves, An arose and went wilt. "What do you partner? Brenne Judd. "It's queen don't you think as if this John Drane crazy—slightly to head, anyway. Give it a name, I a woman masque all her life, and gai a lot of chrome in their places. The servants, Mrs. Vincent thought, were all decent and reliable. She had personally looked into the references of all of them when they were engaged. "Mr. Drane," she said, "got them from the hospital." "You mean he took the hospital employees away from the hospital?" Ritenan asked, her. "Oh, no indeed!" Mrs. Vincent exclaimed as if airdream Brennan might think ill of John Drane. "It was quite the other way, sir. Mr. Drane took a great interest in the hospital, you see; he helped build it and all. That was one of the few places he ever went at night—to the meetings of the hospital board. The hospital, you see, sir, can't keep chronic patients but so long—a couple of weeks, maybe—and then out they must go, and where to go very few of them know. So Mr. Drane took them. That is why they are all so sickly, one way and another. It was easy work here for them, almost no family, and Mr. Drane always wanted them to rest when ill. The hospital would let him know when there was a case that could work but was incurable, as you might say. Ah, sir, so many of them never did get well!" "Died, you mean?" Brennan asked. "Yes, sir. Dr. Blessington can tell you," the housekeeper said. "There's no house in the town where he comes oftener. Nor where that man Dart comes oftener, the more pity it is!" "The undertaker Dart?" "That same," Mrs. Vincent said. "And if I may say so, sir, I think it was for that reason he made up to Mr. Drane so persistently. It's not a nice thing to think, and I am ashamed to think it, but there have been a great many funerals from this house, and no expense ever spared" Mrs. Vincent wiped her eyes. "Just when you get to like a person it was another funeral, it seemed. Like Norbert, the poor fellow! I've a great fondness for him, even if he is black, for he is a good man, Norbert is. He's not long to live." "Great heavens, what a house!" Brennan exclaimed. "Yes, there were times when I felt it was lugubrious," said Mrs. Vincent, shaking her head. "It was not always cheerful, knowing that all those under我 would almost surely die and make place for those that would die in their turn." Brennan glanced at Simon. "The fat man was listening with his eyes closed but he was not asleep, he was rubbing his plump hand back and forth across his enormous paunch slowly. "I think that will be all, Mrs. Vincent," Brennan said. "Send me Norbert next, will you?" When Mrs. Vincent had gone Brennan sat a few moments tapping the veranda floor with his toe and frowning. He turned to Amy sud- ALWAYSON "This isn't pleasant for you," he said, "and there is no need of your listening to all this. It is only what you know already, I imagine. If there is anything else you'd like to do you need not stay." Bob Carter took her by the arm. "He's right," he said. "Suppose we go and sit in the summer house a while. We've enough to talk over ourselves, Amy, and the girl arose and went with him. What do you make of all this, partner? Brennan asked Simon Judd? His queer all through, don't you think? It sounds to me as if this John Drane woman was erase—slightly touched in the head, anyway. An alienist could give it a name, I suppose. When a woman masquerades as a man all life and gathers around him and nothing much else, and makes an undertaker her best friend and chum, she's crazy. Or what do you think about it?" "Well, I don't know as she's been masqueradier as a man all her life, Richard," Simon Judd said deliberately. "I wouldn't go so far as to say 'all her life;' not yet, anyway." "Oh, you know what I mean! Brennan said. "A long time." "I don't know as I'd say 'a long time;' not yet," Simon Judd insisted. "For a! I know, mister, she may have started in life an hour before I come here be whole bunch of these fellas be lynn to me, far as I may I don't know as they may be able to cook up on us. There's one thing I won't like to know." His opportunity to learn it came promptly, for Dr. Blessington drove up to the veranda at that moment, his other affairs having received attention. Brennan, who knew him fairly well, asked him to sit a while. "I guess you're the very man I want to ask a couple of questions of" Simon Judd said. "This Mrs. Vincent lady says you've been coming here purty regular right along, and you look like you had a couple of eyes in your head. About this John Drane—is there any time you noticed any special change in him?"

He finds it's pretty hard to rule a woman these days without having an automobile. In fact, he sings, "I want to be like a certain automobile man I know who makes small cars" (in the song, Ramblin' Thomas even mentions his name) "I want to have a car and a woman running on every road". Anyway, he's out of luck' and he needs an automobile to hold his family together, and he tells all about it in a funny way with some hot guitar playing in Paramount Record No. 12670.
