THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VIRGINIA DEC 29 1929 STATE LIBRARY VOLUME XLVI, NO. 8. The Radio Preaching President Fountain Asks Questions. Rev. Dr. Hill Speaks Plainly. Rev, J. E. Fountain, President Baptist Ministers Conference of Richmond and Vincinity has grown steadily in popularity. His exercise of common sense has caused aim to handle peculiar situations in a manner which is both amusing and praiseworthy. Rev, C. A. Cobbs is secretary. . . . In listening to reports from pastors, Rev, A. D. Daly had concluded his report on the programme the Sunday preceding and had resumed his seat, when President Fountain enquired relative to a report that a radio service had been held Sunday night at the Fifth Baptist Church. REV. DALY AND RADIO. For a moment Rev. Dely hesitated Then he said that a church club had arranged such a service, but not with his entire approval. They brought in a radio set for the night service and had heard the services from Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church. The purpose was to raise money for his church. Rev. Foun tain intimated his d-approval of such a procedure. . . REV. DR. HILL SPEAKS PLAINLY Other divines supported the position of the President. Then Rev. Joseph T. Hill, pastor of the Second Baptist Church expressed his cp proval of the method of procedure. H₀ explained that when he was in Arkansas, he talked over a radio circuit for the benefit of several small churches that were not able to support a pastor. He told a com pany that had arranged for this kind of service for their workmen at their camps. . . CHEAP PREACHING . It enabled churchgoers to hear some of the ablest and best preachers, instead of listening to cheap preaching all the time. Then one of the preachers wanted to know what he meant by cheap preaching. Rev. Dr. Hill answered indirectly by saying that if he went into a store to purchase a suit of clothes, for which he did not pay much, he called it a cheap suit. If he bought a pair of shoes for which he paid but little, he called them cheap shoes. If a church had a pastor and was not able to pay him much the church got cheap preaching. WILL DISCUSS FURTHER This caused some amusement. It aroused others and it was suggested to set aside a time to discuss radio preaching with a view to having the Conference express itself upon this subject. Rev. F. W. Williams, D. D. stated that he would go on record as being unalterably opposed to radio preaching. The pastors of churches in the rural districts appeared to line up behind him and Dr. Rev. Fountain on this subject. Editor John Mitchell Jr. by unanimous vote was asked to fill in the order of the day, made vacant by the failure of Rev. E. D. Lewis to put in appearance as scheduled. Editor Mitchell spoke briefly after which Rev. Dr. Hill moved a vote of approval and thanks by the Conference. This was unanimously carried. Rev. A. W. Brown. Rev. O. B. Simms and Rev. W. T. John son. D. D. joining in seconding the motion. Unfinished business kept the Conference in session long after the two o'clock hour of adjournment .A. D. Price, Jr. is in the time light.

FUNSTEN CALLS FOR IMPROVEMENTS Makes Request of City Officials Richmond, Va. December 26, 1928. Richmond Planet, ... Richmond, Va. ... Gentlemen: ... Enclosed hercwith find copies of letters which I have written to dif ferent departments at the City Hall in regard to improving living and safety conditions of colored people and I think it would be well for you to advocate a committee of your most influential people to take these matters up with the City and see if you cannot through the 1929 budget get some appropriation that might be helpful to you. You know we are interested in doing what we can, but an appeal should also be made by a committee of your people. Assuring you that I will do what I can for you in the matter, I beg to remain Yours very truly O. H. FUNSTEN. (Continued on page 5) ISAAC GREEN DIES FROM BURN.

Reid AUTOCASTER This newspaper will for some weeks continue to publish the work of the late Dr. Frank Crane. Dr. Crane recently passed away at Nice, France. Before leaving for Europe he had prepared a number of articles in advance. Dr.Frank Crane Says Copyright © 2000 The Time Binder Some professor, I noticed the other day in the public prints, referred to man as the time binder. I take it that what he meant is this—though, of course, being a professor, he probably meant something else, something you and I cannot understand. It is never quite safe to say you comprehend just what a professor means; he rather resents it, but, as I was saying, what he meant, or might, could, would or should have meant, is this: Stones, sticks and all lifeless things are fixed, hotpless and cannot move of themselves. They are the bound. So are the plants and all vegetable forms of life. Animals are space binders; that is, they can move from place to place, and by their power of motion can bind together things remote. Man is also a space binder, because of his power of locomotion; but he is more. He can remember things in the past, and he can look forward to events in the future. Hence he is a time binder. Man differs from the lower animals because he preserves his past experiences. He lives not only now, but all about his now flutter flocks of yesterday; from his now mountain he can see long tomorrow vistas. He is eternally planning. In proportion as he binds the future to him he becomes more of a man in every way. Many a silly word would be restrained, and many a rashotion would be prevented by a consideration of the future. Every deed is to be judged not only by its present advisability, but by how it bears on our whole career. W. A.

LONG STEP BACKWARD The action of the Committee on Ordinances of the Common Council of the City of Richmond in rejecting the report of its own sub comm tee to which was submitted the segregation ordinance was both regrettable and unfortunate. It is inconceivable that this action will stand in view of the arguments advanced and time taken to harmonize existing differences and to prevent this injurious advertisement of Richmond's adventages and opportunities for its citizens of a darker hue. We shall note with interest the final action in this matter. It is a job for the conservative white folks more than it is an opportunity for the conservative colored ones. It seems that some people went to fan and arouse race hatred, rather than promote and encourage an era of good feeling between the white and colored folks of this community. We shall reserve some things that we are disposed to say until we note the final action in this most remarkable display of race prejudice. . .

Of course they do; uncomfortable, unsightly—everybody dislikes to have a pair of hands dry, cracked, maybe bleeding. The sense of touch becomes impaired; putting chapped hands into the pocket, or rubbing them against the bed-clothes; even drawing on gloves—produces a nasty, creepy feeling all over—but you know the symptoms, so why enumerate them? Chapped hands may be prevented. How? First, by not exposing them to quick and extreme changes of temperature, dry or wet. If you are accustomed to indoor warmth, do not go out for a long jaundin in winter bare-handed. Do not, after having the hands immersed in warm water, suddenly plunge them into very cold water, especially after having used strong soaps. In fact, no sensitive skin should be punished with some of the dirt eradicators advertised so extensively; if your skin is naturally sensitive, never permit an irritant to be applied. If you "feed your furnace" wear gloves while shoveling the coal—some gases are very irritating. If you acquire a case of chapped hands, set about to cure them. Your skin is of animal substance; animal substances are acceptable to it. Avoid vaseline, except as a possible protective. A simple soothing antiseptic rubbed into lanolin is good for the skin as an ointment. Cracks and fissures in the hands need to be filled with a soothing "cream" or "jelly." No soap, or a very mild one, and even that not too often. A few drops of almond oil, a few ounces of carbolic acid, in an ounce of rose water ointment, is good for the most delicate skin. And, keep your general health good. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Hints for the Home by Nancy Hart If you are seeking ideas for the table decoration for Christmas and do not want to use flowers, remember that you can make a gay and modernistic Christmas tree centerpiece by simply forming a cone of cardboard and applying rows of fringed green crepe paper round and round it. Cut double thicknesses of paper in two inch strips and fold it; fringe the cut edges to a depth of one inch; cut small circles from the cardboard cone and paste tissue paper in brilliant colors over the holes; then paste the rows of fringe around the cone. Use a small boudoir lamp with globe as a mounting for the tree—and when the light snaps on you'll have as colorful and appropriate a Christmas centerpiece as the heart could desire.

"Very Latests" By Cecile The Christmas Fur Coat—will it be flat fur or curry—that's the question. For both are extremely popular just now. Anne Glass, starring in "Angela," shows us a smart little model developed in black fur with a standing collar and cuffs of Kolinsky—just to illustrate that there are curls and curls, and one needn't choose the tight twists of Krimmer and Astrakan if loose, wavy curls seem more desirable. Among the flat fur broadtail still holds first place and is often combined in novel ways with contrasting long-haired furs. When there is a compromise between flat and fuffy fur, it is most aristocratically expressed by Beaver. Costume Gift Suggestions Pull-on gloves that reach almost to the elbow are required for the latest three-quarter length and open sleeves. A pair in this new length would make a most acceptable gift, and should be chosen preferably to harmonize with the coat. Smart Costume Jewelry Among the sterling and gilt and semi-precious stone novelties in jewelry are many charming collar and bracelet sets that can be had at the reasonable prices one hopes to adhere to when on the Christmas shopping spree. Carved crystal, carnelian, lapis and chrysoprase are fashionable stones used in these sets. If She Is Ultra-Modern A cigarette case in black, red deep blue or green enamel with a futuristic design in silver and gold would please almost any girl. Her Choice of Perfume If you contemplate the gift of perfume, it is best to know on preference before selecting a scent which may or may not be pleasing according to the individual taste. There is a marked tendency now to suit the perfume personality—so choose it best fits the type of the one who is to receive it. THE LAST OF THE DUANES by ZaneGrey Illustrated by Verne C. Christy Ninth Installment WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE Duane Kellner, quick on the draw, kills Alain in self-defense and becomes an outlaw. After adventures on the road he goes to Bland's camp. There he wounds a bosom friend of another named Euchre. He meets Mrs. Bland and also a girl Jennie, held prisoner. He meets a group of intrigues in which he is forced to deceive Mrs. Bland. This leads to Duane's killing Bland. You see him off with Vince who is lost later. Duane roams the roads for years as an outlaw, finally going to meet him. Duane had asked to see him. MacNelly is kind to him, and offers him a pardon if he will accept to become a Chesedine's friend. MacNelly had become interested in Duane after a Miss Lee had spoken in his behalf. Duane after a Miss Lee had spoken in his behalf. MacNelly who MacNelly gives Duane much welcome news. Duane goes to a friend for him with MacNelly, and finds her to be none other but Jennie. They talk and tell each other of their love, and when they capture Chesedine she breaks down and begs him to break his word to MacNelly. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Duane stared at her, amazed. He hardly knew what to say. He felt how little he understood women. His heart began to pound, and thrills ran over him. The sweetness of this woman—that she would go back to outlawry with him—appealed with strange power. "That course wouldn't be dishonorable," she continued. "No. But it's impossible. I'd die before I'd drag you into that life. You ought to remember an outlaws days." "No—no—no." Duane felt the insidious, creeping twining strength of some hitherto unknown emotion. It came from her suggestion to be alone with her—to have her—and he realized that he must not let the thing stay before his mind. Jennie came closer to him then, so close that she almost touched him. Something about her presence, the look of her eyes of the heave of her breast, made that sweet, vague emotion grow. "Duane, do you love me?" she asked. "Jennie, you're going to make it 'arder for me!' he burst in de- "Tell me" she insisted. "Love you! I love you as no man ever loved a woman. Think of my lonely, wretched life! What I have known of women—of the sweetness of one? And now it bursts on me. Jennie, don't ask me that. I'm afraid of myself. I can't understand." She came only the closer, until now she touched him, her slender form reaching to his shoulders, and she leaned upon him with her face upurned. He felt her hands on his, and they were soft, clinging, strong, like steel under velvet. He felt the rise and fall—the warmth of her breast. A tremor ran over him. He tried to draw back, and if he succeeded a little her form swayed with him, pressing closer. She did not speak. She held her face up, and he was compelled to look. It was wonderful now—white, yet glowing, with the red lips parted, the dark eyes alluring. But that was not all. There was passion, unquenchable spirit, woman's resolve deep and mighty as life. "I love you, Duane," she said. "I could suffer anything for you. I'm not selish in this. It's for you. I know what your life has been. I can't let you go back to it. Listen—you don't know me. You think you with the old Jenie. But I'm different. I've suffered and I've learned in these years. I believe I'm right in asking you to give up this ranger service. Will you?" "Jennie, I can't. How could you sit it?" "How could you go if you me?" "If you were a man you'd understated." "But I'm a woman. You don't understand that!" she cried passionately. "Can you expect a man who lives like a hunted wolf to understand the inner feelings of a woman?" I am outside. Jennie—the outcast—the outlaw. And even jeeve. I have kept myself different from the others. But heaven knows—perhaps I coarse, hard, inhuman." "Hush!" She put a hand over his lips. "I didn't mean to hurt you. I meant—Oh, Duaue, I'm here ready for your arms—a starved woman—and you don't know it." Duane became suddenly weak, and when he did take her into his arms he scarcely had strength to lift her to a seat beside him. She seemed more than dead weight. Her calmness had fled. She was throbbing, palpitating, quivering, with hot, wet cheeks and arms that clung to him live vines. She lifted her mouth to him, whispering: "Kiss me!" Duane bent down, and her arms went around his neck and drew him close. With his lips on hers, he seemed to float away. That kiss closed his eyes, and he could not lift his head. He sat motionless, holding her blind and helpless, wrapped in a sweet, dark "Love you! I love you as no man ever loved a woman!" She kissed him—one long endless kiss—or else a thousand times. Her lips, her wet cheeks, her hair, the softness, the fragrance of her, the tender, moving clasp of her arms, the swell of her breast—all these enclosed him, bound him. She whispered and murmured broken and incoherent words—words that did not need to be understood, so full were they of sweetness and meaning and love. He rose and let Jennie sit back against the cushions. Her fingers clung weakly to him. Her eyes hurt him. While he fumbled in his pocket "Love you! I love you as no n for papers, to fetch forth the Governor's pardon, Jennie watched him; and when he laid the paper in her hands she let it drop. "Give that to mother," he said huskily. "Tell her—maybe I'll come back—there's a chance." "Don't go! Don't go!" she cried. "I must. Dear, good-by. Remember I loved you! Jennie, let me go!" He pulled her hands loose from his; stope back. She fell upon her knees with out-stretched arms. "Duane! Duane!" she wailed. Like a murderer he backed away. "Jennie—dearest, I believe—I'll These last words were false. He reached the door, gave her one last piercing glance—to fix forever his memory that white face with his deep staring, tragic eyes. "Duanel!" He fled with that moon like thunder, death, hell, in his ears. Duane had been three months out of the Nueces country. At El Paso he bought the finest horse he could find, and, armed and otherwise outfitted to suit him, he had taken to unknown trails. Leisurely he rode from town to town, village to village, ranch to ranch, fitting his talk and his occupation to the impression he wanted to make upon different people whom he met. He was in turn a cowboy, a rancher, a cattleman, a stock-buyer, a boomer, a landhunter; and long before he reached the wild and inhospitable Ord he had acted the part of an outlaw drifting into new territory. He passed on slowly because he wanted to learn the lay of the country, the location of villages and ranches, the work, habit, gossip, pleasures, and fears of the people with whom he came in contact. The one subject most impelling to him—outlaws—he never mentioned; but, by talking all around it, sifting the old ranch and cattle story, he acquired a knowledge calculated to aid him much in his deeplaid plot. In this game time was of no moment; if necessary he would take years to accomplish his task. The stupendous and perilous nature of it showed in the slow, wary preparation. When he heard Fletcher's name and faced Knell he knew he had reached the place he had sought—Ord was a hamlet on the fringe of the grazing country, of doubtful honesty, from which surely winding trails led down into the free and never disturbed paradise of outlaws—the Big Bead. He saw a bright light before he made out the dark outline of the cabin. Then he heard voices, a whirling whistle a coarse song, and the clink of iron cooking utensils. He smelled fragrant wood-smoke. He saw moving dark figures cross the light. Evidently there was a wide door, or else the fire was out in the open. Fortune favored him. There was bushes, an old shed, a wood pile, all the cover he needed at that corner. Before he peered between the rough corner of wall and the bush growing close to it Duane paused a moment. This excitement was different from that he had always felt when pursued. It had no bitterness, no pain, no dread. There was as much danger here, perhaps more, yet it was not the same. Then he looked. He saw a bright light, a red faced man ending over it whistling while he handled a steaming pot. Over him he was a roofed shed built against the wall with two open sides and two support posts. Duane's second glance, not so blinded by the sudden bright light, made out other men, three in the shadows, two in the flare, but with backs to him. "It's a smoother trail by long odds, but ain't so short as this one right over the mountain," one out- law was saying. "What's eatin' you, Pan Handle?" jaculated another, "Bonch 'an' me rode from Faraway Springs, where Poggin is with some of the gang." man ever loved a woman!" "Excuse me, Phil. Shore I didn't see you come in, an 'Boldt never said nothin'." "It took you a long time to get here, but I guess that's just as well," spoke up a smooth, sauce voice with a ring in it. Chesedine's voice! Chesedine's voice Here they were—Chesedine—Phil Knell — Blossom Kane — Pan Handle Smith — Boldt — how well Duane remembered the names—all here, the big men of Chesedine's game, except the biggest — Poggin. Duane had held them, and his sensations of the moment deacued sight and sound of what was before He must have controlled their self, silenced a mounting exultation, then, from a less strained position, he peered forth again. The hawks were waiting for supper. Their conversation might have been that of cowboys in camp, ranchers at a roundup. Duane laughed with eager ears, waiting for the business talk that he felt would come. All the time he watched with the eyes of a wolf upon its quarry. Blossom Kane was the lean-limbed messenger who had so angered Fletchter. Boldt was a giant in stature, dark, bearded, silent. Pan Handle Smith was the red faced cook, merry, profane, a short, bowed man resembling many rustlers Duane had known, particularly Luke Stevens. And Knell, who set there, tall, slim, like a boy in build, like a boy in years, with his pale, smooth, expressionless face and his cold gray eyes. And Chesedine, who leaned against the wall, handsome, with his pointed face and beard, like an aristocrat, resembled many a rich Louisiana planter Duane had met. The sixth man sat so much in the shadow that he could not be plainly discerned, and though addressed, his name was not mentioned. Pan Handle Smith carried pots and pans into the cabin, and cheerfully called out: "If you get air bouncy, fer grab don't look for me to be in with a spoon." The outwalls piled inside, making great bustle and clatted as they went to their meal. Like hungry man, they talked little. Duane waited there a while, then guardedly got up and crept to the other side of the cabin. After he used to the dark again he ventured to steal along the wall to the crack, and peeped in. The outwalls were in the first room and could not be seen. For Duane the twenty-fifth of October seemed a whole lifetime in coming. When that day dawned he left a lonely camp in the brush and rode into Bradford. He went to the old inn-keeper, with whom he had made acquaintance, and leaving his horse in the stable set off in search of Buell. Inquiry discovered the night operator at his discovering-house asleep. Duane had him awakened. Puell came in heavy-eyed, but curious, half-expectant. "Buell, I'm sorry to disturb you," said Duane, "but my business is urgent You can aid me. I'm going to arrest a man here to-day, a prominent citizen. Now it's likely some of his friends —somebody, at any rate —will shove a gun in your face, or the day operator's, and make you send telegrams along the line."
