NO THE CI RESO A meeting of colored citizens was held at the True Reformers Hall. Tuesday night, pursuant to a call to take action concerning the proposed segregation ordinance separating the races in residential neighborhoods which ordinance would disturb the friendly relationship between the white and colored people here. Dr. Leon A. Reid presided and J. B. Beas acted as secretary. Among the speakers was Dr. W. T. Johnson, Dr. W. L. Ransome Rev. J. E. Fountain B. H Beaver ly H. J. Faulk. Dr. Walter Brown and Benjamin S. Cumber. The com mittee named to draft a statement to the public with appropriate resolutions consisted of James O. West, chairman: M. A. Norrell, secretary: Dr. J. M. G. Ramsey, Dr. W. Hughes. J. E. Bankett. R. C. Scott. Mrs. Mary V. Binga and Mrs Margaret R. Johnson. The proposed ordinance restricts living conditions in the city to the majority of either race residing on any one block. The original paper as proposed by Alderman Woody prescribed a retroactive clause. Later the committee in discussing the paper expressed the belief this clause might prove unconstitutional. After prolonged discussion before a sub committee of the Committee on Or dinances, embracing, Aldermen Charles W. Moss Councilmen James H. Britton and Carleton E. Jewett, a report was framed suggesting the entire matter be placed in the hands of a commission of citizens and Councilmen. This body was to have returned a plan upon which Council might proceed. ...When this report was submitted to the full committee that body under leadership p of Councilman R. B. Liggan, refused to accept it and further consideration of the ordinance was agreed upon. This will be had next Monday night with the probability the committee may make its report to the Board of Aldermen the following night. Representatives from this mass meeting will appear before this committee Monday night and protest against the measure. A committee was also appointed to attend the mass meeting at Hood Temple A. M. E. Zion Church Sunday after noon in order to insure a united front against the ordinance. The following resolutions were then adopted: The Negro Citizens of Richmond Virginia, through their representatives in mass meeting assembled in the True Reformers Hall on Tuesday day January 6th, 1929, respectfully issue the following statement setting forth their position on the Segregation introduced in the Board of Aldermen by Alderman Henry W Woody and now being considered by the legislative branches of the city government: The Negroes of Richmond, Virginia have through their tolerance, through their refusal to countenance any act calculated to disturb the friendly relations existing between the races in Richmond and through their cooperation with every effort to promote the best interests of Richmond have earned the reputation of being peaceful useful and law abiding citizens. They have never been militant or assertive, even under the most extreme provocation. They have suffered wrongs and injustices at the hands of the administrators of the government of Richmond with only an occasional protest, hoping that the conscience of Richmond would finally awake and that right and justice would unseat race prejudice and intolerance. They have believed the assurances of the white people of Richmond that they were the friends of the Negro and have waived patiently for some concrete evidence of this friendship. They have hesitated to join National movements designed to resist oppressive anti-Negro legislation, feeling that Richmond's problem could be better solved by citizens of Richmond. This narrative attests the faith the Negroes had in their white neighbors. The white people of Winston.

JAGKSON RECUPERATING. Dr. L. A. Jackson is convalescing under the skillful treatment of Dr. Fred D. Brown. The case is in some particulars unique and remarkable. Dr. Jackson was stricken a few weeks ago with a dangerous hemorrhage and for a time his life was in danger. It was diagnosed as ulcer of the stomach. He has steadily improved. So far as can be observed, the ulcer has healed and he is on the road to complete recovery. A visit there last Tuesday found him seated in a chair, arranging in his mind for the resupitation of his practice this month. He is one of the most popular physicians in this city. Mr. William H. Hubbard of Phil adelphia called to see us. Mr. T. F. Archer, who has been spending his vacation in Amella County returned here to his busi-ness duties, only to be stricken with illness.

They made so much disturbance in the car that the driver put them out. Katie said to Robert, 'All I want of you is my five dollars.' After they went into their room she said to him, 'Give me my five dolars' and he said, 'I haven't got any of your five dolars.'

TABOR DEAN CHAR. F CURTIS DR. T. S. BUIE CWT Joint efforts of farmers and business men to meet the requirements of each local farm problem in the country is the proper way to secure real national farm relief, according to William Butterworth, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, in a notable address made recently to the Farm and Home audience of the Montgomery Ward & Co. noon broadcast. "There is no single general prescription for agricultural relief that would be adequate." Mr. Butterworth said. "No single remedy would apply equally to the problems of the California orchardist; the Idaho, Washington and Oregon wheat rancher; the mid-western corn-farmer; the Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas stock rancher; the Wisconsin and Michigan dairyman; the Maine potato grower; the southern cotton and tobacco planter; and the New Jersey and Delaware and Maryland vegetable grower. "The Chamber of Commerce of the United States is now committed to seven general principles of a constructive agricultural policy as a result of the report of the committee on agriculture which was passed by an overwhelming vote of all chamber members." These principles are: These principles the co-ordination of the land, reclamation, and reforestation policies of the various branches of the Federal Government concerned with such activities. The postponement of actual cultivation of additional areas opened to development at public expense until it has been clearly demonstrated that the additional agricultural is a real necessity. The reasonable protection for American industries subject to destructive competition from abroad, is, and should be made practically applicable to agriculture. Support of the principle of cooperative marketing as defined in the Capper-Volstead Act and the encouragement of cooperative organizations along sound economic lines by producers of agricultural commodities.

By DUNKEL Pirate Refuge in the Days of the Old Spanish Main Now Retreat Where Millionaires Count Up Their Gain AERIAL VIEW OF COCOLOBO CAY AND, AT LEFT, BLACK CHESAR'S ISLAND The pirates refuge, of the old days of the Spanish Main, has become a millionaire's retreat. Where the sea rovers once hid a way to sort their plunder and plan the forays. Captains of industry now seek solitude to cast up their profits and recuperate for new ventures in the field of Big Business. Most notable of all the rendezvous for America's plutocratic personalities is the exclusive and alcoo Cocoloo Club, located among the Florida Keys, about forty miles from Miami, in the very heart of the old pirate stronghold. Just across the Cocoloo Cay, on which the club is tucked away, is Black Caesar's Island, where the notorious Black Caesar reigned. By the means of fake riding lights, simulating those of a boat at anchor, he used to lure unwary shipping into the shoal waters surrounding the key. There, once ground, they were voted at leisure. Among these keys, too, was the hiding place of the ill-famed Morgan, one of the most feared of the old pirate chieftafins, whose depredations formerly made the Florida Keys a region to be abunched by all seasu skippers. Only the sporting mariner—the one ready to "take a chance"—ventured among these keys in the days when pirates ranged the Main. And it is the spirit of sport that now leads the favored of fortune to Coccoloba. Here in the quiet retreat that is maintained for their exclusive en WASTED VALUES. CHURCHES SHOULD BE SEE. LIONS AND SHEEP. SWEARING OFF. The greatest of all waste goes inside the human brain, of which 99 one-thousandths remain idle and pursued 'even in well-managed beasts' millions of breeds do not work at all only remember and repeat, never create. But that will change. Consider what ants and other insects accomplish, having been here many million years ahead of us. We are only 12,000 years from the late Stone Age, which is the most encouraging fact in history. Give men ten to fifty million more years, with deepening convolutions and inherited knowledge, and see what they will do. A mud wasp, as Fabre shows, is born knowing how to perform a most delicate surgical operation, difficult for a skilled man. New born human babies, 50,000,000 years hence, will know more of mathematics than Newton knew when he died, more of music than Beethoven and Bach combined. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who understands human nature, encourages the building of Dr. Reisner's skyscraper church in New York, says "churches must be big enough to dominate skyscrapers. Material as well as spiritual dominance is needed." That sound idea inspired builders of the old cathedrals. When the Pope ordered Michel Angelo to build St. Peter's in Rome, dominance was the idea as it was in the building of the cathedrals of Cologne, Milan, Notre Dame and others. To control men you must control their IMAGINATION. Mussolini has old-fashioned ideas, and good ones. The new twenty-live piece, worth St. bears an inscription worth many dollars: "Meglio viore un giorno da leone, che cento ami da pecora," meaning, "It is better to live one day like a lion than one hundred years like a sheep." It's hard to make a sweep believe it. Like a man half-heartedly swearing off in the morning, the word is trying to give up war. And this country, which never started a war against Europe, is expected to do most of the reforming. It's like asking Moody and Sankey to sign the pledge first, or entreatting the Rev. Dr. Straton not to believe in Darwin.

The chie' attraction, however, is the opportunity for relaxation and sport amid tropical surroundings, but well away from the curious crowd. For no less than did the former praticual residents of these keys, the members of the Cocolobe Club like to keep out of the limelight. Miami, an hour away by speed-boat, provides contact with the business world when that is necessary. But aloofness, seclusion, privacy, privacy deals and doings—and above all the ease of existence on a tropic kile—these remain today, as in the romantic days of old, the chief lure of those who seek retirement on Cocolobe Cay.

Swinton, in his "Outlines of World's History" speaking of Greece says: "The discontent of the people at length became so, serious that a statesman named Draco was appointed in 624 B. C. to draw up a written code of laws. They were marked by extreme severity for he affixed the penalty of death to all crimes alike—to petty thefts no less than to sacrilege and murder. Hence Draco's laws were said to have been written, not in ink, but in blood, and we are told that he justified this extreme hardship by saying that small deserved death, and that he knew no severer punishment for great ones." Fifty years ago, who would have believed that the act of 624 Before Christ would have been duplicated in 1928 A. D. (year of our Lord; that is, after Christ.) Let us see. The statute law makes life imprisonment the equivalent of electrocution in first degree murder. In other words life imprisonment betokens a crime akin and equal to first degree murder. Mrs. Etta Mae Miller (white) was found guilty by a jury at Lansing, Michigan, December 31, 1928 on four convictions of liquor felonies. She had sold small quantities of liquor, which in themselves were misdemeanors, but by putting the crimes together they were made felonies. Then she was tried for her liberty during the remainder of her natural life. It does not matter whether or not Mrs. Miller knew that she was risking her life or her liberty in the pursuit of the illicit traffic. It is enough to realize that "it is not the severity of the punishment that checks crime, but the certainty of it." The present course of the law makers is to build up organizations comprising enemies of society. In time they will secure enough recruits to overthrow government and society. The unjust treatment of the Negroes during the centuries is reacting upon the white folks during the present decade. TIMELY ACTION. The resolutions of protest adopted at the colored citizens meeting last Tuesday night constitute statements of facts, which will appeal to every justice loving, square dealing while citizen in this commonwealth. The right of petition and protest is an inherent right and privilege guar anted by the constitution itself. We have never read a more meritious document and those who drew those resolutions were masters at this kind of business. There can be no refusing of the charges therein contained and the exercise of brute force, the arbitrary exercise of power can be the only reply of those who see fit to object to its conclusions. We have been puzzled to understand the attitude of those white friends who have in the past professed a generous regard for their colored neighbors. What steps are they taking to check this pernicious legislation? It is true that ringing resolutions have been adopted protesting against this measure. What further steps have been taken? We cannot bring ourselves to believe that the City Council will pass this ordinance and thus force a legal litigation, during the life of which some of our leading white and colored citizens will be, so to speak, at "dagger's point" on account of this specious exercise of race prejudice. COLORED DEMOCRATS ON TRIAL Does the transfer of the party allegiance from the Republican Party to the Democrat Party tend to better the economic and political conditions of the colored people in this community? This is the question presented as a result of the introduction of an ordinance in the Council of Richmond, Va. by Alder man Henry W. Woody, a Democrat and an undertaker for the purpose of corregating the races. This is emphasized by the fact that during the past two years, there has been a steady trend on the part of the intelligent, educated colored people to support white Democrats and to advocate the policies of the party. The leaders in the movement claimed that this attitude on the part of colored folks would tend to reduce race prejudice, bring additional improvements in the colored sections of the city and obtain other favors which would not be possible in the face of political hostility on the part of the colored folks. What have been the results? These Negro Democratic pioneers have been forced in the courts to obtain recognition in the Democratic primaries. Their party associates have sprung the Woody Negro hating legislative ordinance. Instead of being able to halt the legislation on their own motion and "in chambers" they have been forced to appeal to the public and with the Interracial Committee. Rev. W. T. Johnson D. D., chairman of the, colored division; Rev. W. L. Ransome, D. D., Rev. J. E. Fountain, representing the Baptist Ministers Conference of Richmond and Vichity, the matter is still in abeyance. Mayor J. Fulmer Bright is the recognized head and front of the militant branch of the Democratic Party in this city. Dr. Leon A. Reid, who presided at the Citizen's Meeting was an "Al Smith Democrat". James O. West, who was chairman of the committee on resolutions was an "Al Smith Democrat". M. Alphonso Norrell, who was the most active worker in the whole affair was an "Al Smith Democrat". Dr. A. M. Bowles, the "power behind the throne" was an "Al Smith Democrat". .. .. If these gentlemen can not block this species of legislation on their own motion then the entire frame work upon which it was expected to build up a Negro Democratic organation in this city falls to the ground. As for Undertaker . Henry W. Woody and his coterie of Negro hating friends, we again suggest that he take his ordinances, put them in one of his pine coffins, inter them in Oakwood Cemetery and thereby mit the other sections or this city to have peace. The Louisville, Ky. American Baptist is now celebrating its fiftieth anniversary under the sterling management of Mr. William H. Steward one of the best and most devout editors in this country. We have enjoyed a personal friendship and acquaintance with him for more than forty years. We wish him many more years of success. His home town is happy over his having lived in it and the best things are being said of him by his neighbors who know him best. God bless him and his!

"That God is not dead nor doth He sleep." They told of His tender mercies in the past and His now changing promises for the future. They likewise asked, "Where hast thou gleaned today?" "What shall the harvest be?" Loyal supporters of the Fourth Baptist Church of which Dr. F. W. Williams is pastor, heard, under stood, remembered and were thankful. Thankful for mankind blessings—the successful beginning of Dr. Williams' pastorate, the wonder ful services being rendered to the community and to God. Christmas week cannot be forgot ten. The Evans Payne Home Mission Society distributed forty well filled baskets among the poor of the community. The Church gave financial aid. (The Mission Society is now planning to give some relief to the many sick and unfortunate in the community. On Christmas morning the Junior Sunshine Mission Circle served a well prepared breakfast to the poor of the Church. The spirit exhibited on this occasion will never be forgotten. Coming as a grand climax to such activities and as a direct blessing, the Church listened enraptured to hear the celebrated Mr. Mudge Parr's baritone singer of Africa on the fourth Sunday in December. A large congregation enjoyed this rare treat and privilege. As the closing sermon for 1928, Dr. Williams used this text: Philip plans 3:13.14. "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." With this thought the Fourth Parish Church presses forward. DO YOU KNOW THEM? The Police Department has received the following telegram: Staunton, Va., January 8 1929.

Here, as a guest of Howard E. Coffin, automotive engineer and financier, of Detroit, the President enjoyed what is doubtless the finest and best stocked hunting grounds in the country. On Sapelo Island, miles down the Florida *gorge* from Savannah, Mr. Coffin has built an elaborate winter home in the midst of his 60,000-acre estate, equipped with a hunting lodge, a yacht club, a hotel and a golf course—all buried away in a pristine paradise, which, until recently has escaped the notice of tourists. On this vast game preserve the President's fondness for shooting could be liberally undubbed. Most pleasure-bear motors and southbound winter turbopilas, who travel smoothly over the wide highways and cliching trails that lead along the coast of Georgia, pass unsupported within a few miles of this famous string of islands—Sapelo, Gatow, Jekyl and St. Simon. Comparative accessibility has until recently kept this locality from the usual exploitation which most of our "last frontiers" have suffered. On this expedition the President did not have to find his sport in clay pigeons, for the secluded marshes and remote waterways are the refuge of countless thousands of ducks. The stretching pineland forests of the islands harbor an abundance of deer and wild turkey. Bear and fox are also to be found. In fact, the Sea Islands of Georgia afford almost a virgin game reservoir. Until Mr. Coffin recently developed his estate upon Sapeloe and St. Simon, it was 1-possible to reach the historic islands except by a hazardous boat trip. Now, however, a causeway has been built connecting St. Simon with Brunswick on the mainland and making its unusual facilities for hunting and vacationing easily available for the enjoyment of American sportmen. Here at Sea Island Beach an ample hotel, the Closter, "has been erected amid the pines and palms and recreational facilities are provided to meet the varied tastes of all sport lovers hunting, fishing, golf, tennis, surfing, boating, riding and motoring Mr. Coffin's home on Sapeloe Island where he entertained President Coolidge during his visit, like eightinches to the North. The story of the Sea Islands, and particularly of St. Simons, constitutes an American epic, beginning almost from the first settlement on American soil and culminating in its present popularity as a sportman's retreat which the region now calypso. During his long period there has been scarcely an epoch in which the Islands have not figured prominently. CHRIST TH.

The Golden Text is a definition of the word "Jesus"—"And thou shalt call his name Jesus; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins," Matt. 1.21. Let it be noted that the historicity of Jesus, the Man of Nazareth, is accepted by individuals and races who do not acknowledge Him as the Christ, meaning the Messiah, the Anointed One. Those who doubt or question may well be referred to both literature and art which finds its glorious basis in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Saul of Tarsus beheld his Lord as he approached Damascus and evidence thereof is to be seen in the changed life that followed. The letters of Paul are mature conclusions after most careful research and divine revelations. Last month, at the Birthday celebration the very air was ringing with the reechoing of the angel's song, which was first heard by the shepherds of Judah. The angel explained to them "There is born to you this day in the city of David, a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:11. His life was fully in accord with the claims made concerning Him. He did not fall short in any respect. He outlined his method of working in the parable recorded by Luse. He is ever the Great Shepherd vitally concerned for each lamb and sheep in the entire flock. His mission in leaving the throne-place in heaven, where He had been from all time with the Father, was to shepherd His sheep and at any cost to Himself. During the 33 years on earth He revealed how intimately He would enter into the life problem of each soul. Mankind was not saved by his exemplary life but only by his supreme sacrifice on the cross at Calvary. Paul presents the matter very clearly in the selected portions in Romans. Man could never make himself righteous in the sight of our holy God. We are justified, not by a lifetime of our acts, but solely as our sins are given to Jesus and His righteousness is imputed to us. He made full atonement for our sins in his sacrificial death on the cross. John also, in parabolic form, pictures the pathway of salvation.

They had their days of blood and powder, and their days of prosperity and peace; but always in the Georgia islands something was transpiring watch ultimately affected the welfare of the nation at large. Crusading northward from St. Augustine, the Spanish adventurers were impressed by these fertile and attractive islands and gave them the romantic name of The Golden Islands of Guale. Here in 1569 they founded a settlement, established missions and undertook to colonize the country with a view to creating a northern outwork of Spanish power in America. The task of the mission was to assess these outposts to try and to become a dangerous premise to the ambitious plans of England and France, who were likewise striving to control as much of the new world as possible. Farced by the delightful city-climate, the Spanish vanguard on the Golden Islands of Guale prespecified for more than a century. Their missions, annotating those of California, increased in power, and, although many of the Jesuits and Franciscan suffered narthecium at the hands of the natives, the church became a dominant institution and carried on extensive missionary work. Finally, the English determined to check Spain's steady envelopment into territory already regarded as British. Concealing their real purposes under the guise of founding a debtor's colony, they erected a fortress on St. Simon island and established the town of Fredericka. At last, in 1742, after previous failures General Oglethorpe defeated the Spanish forces at the Battle of Bloody Marsh and drove them ever from the Georgian Island.

From this vantage point they could dart out upon the rich American shipping, plunder at their will and retire to security amid their snug retreats. Before the day of English supremacy, the Spanish mississippi had been despoiled by pirates, even the bells being carried off. Later, Thomas Leach, the famed "Blackboard" of fact and fable, frequented this coast allegedly to bury his treasure, and one of the islands, adjoining Sapelo still bears his name. In the colonial period a wealthy Jewish merchant of London bought what is now Mr. Collins's home island, Sapelo, and spent large sums of money developing it only to learn that it had been literally and to him by the Empress of the Crown Indians.

Dr.Frank Crane Says The Other World When you sail out across the sea you wonder what all that waste of water is for. It stretches away for miles and miles. Days at a time you cannot see even another ship. Water, water everywhere, clear to the horizon. And they say that three-fourths of the earth's surface is ocean. We think we people who live on land, and those that sail across the sea in boats, are the whole thing. Man thinks that the universe is made for him, but Mr. Pope says that the goose thinks the same thing. It is stated that there are more living things under the water than in the air. It is not unreasonable to suppose that whoever made this earth thought the denizens of the sea were more important than the inhabitants of the land. Else He wouldn't have made so many of them. Curious about that other world! People drown when they are submerged in the water, and those things that inhabit the water generally drown when they come up into the air. No man can go down into the home of the fishes and live very long. When Mr. Fish comes up into the air we all live but he dies shortly. Perhaps that other world of spirits, of which much is imagined, is like that. No spirit has been proved to mingle with men. This atmosphere of ours may be as fatal to it as to a fish. At any rate we know his atmosphere is fatal to us. No man has gone into it and returned to tell the tale. We eat the fish when they are cooked, but the fish goes us one better and eats us when we are not cooked. We have strange stories of mythical beings who inhabit the depths of the sea. Few believe them. We have equally strange stories of witches and mediums who call spirits out of the upper world. Some believe them. But as far as we know our activities and acquaintances must be confined to this narrow stratum of the earth's atmosphere. We go below it into the sea, or above it, through the portals of death, at our peril. Chester P. Mills Wins Durant Prize affluence. It was here, that the famed, sea Island cotton of long ago, which grew rapidly in demand by the sailors of France and England, was produced. Indigo and rice were raised. Luxury increased, and the Golden Isles became noted for their hospitality. Aaron Burr came here after his duel with Hamilton, and many other visitors frequented the rich platanation homes. During the War of 1812, the Sea Islands were so vigorously harried by the raids of enemy ships that a large number of planters deserted their homes and the region once more became nearly abandoned.

The semi-tropical vegetation closed in again and almost obliterated the former progress of civilization. And so the islands remained for many years, deserted and wild. Presently a number of wealthy Americans awoke to the possibilities of the historic islands and began to found on them private estates and hunting preserves — snug retreats where they might quietly slip away to enjoy almost primitive surroundings and utter seclusion.

The club house of the Sea Island Club is a sturdy, weathered building which a century ago served as a warehouse for Sea Island cotton. Its 24-inch walls are constructed of "tabby," a homemade composition of oyster shells and lime. In the building of his own home, Mr. Coffin has utilized for one wing an ancient Spanish wall two or three feet thick, built also of "tabby." Although the Cloister hotel is entirely modern, it has been designed by Adrian Mizner in the Spanish style and is placed in remarkable record with the live oaks, the Spanish moss and the seawashed beaches of the island. The manor house itself stands on the east side of Sapelo island and commands a beautiful vista to the ocean. It is of Spanish architecture also, designed to provide every available comfort of modern life and still retain its easy harmony with its surroundings. Its great dining hall can accommodate forty guests at the table; and the profusion of game of which the country boasts guarantees that that table will always be pleasantly supplied. President Coolidge could dine regularly on venison, wild turkey, opossum, quail, wild peacock, terrapin, duck, oysters and many varieties of fish at this all-year playground.

Common Skin Affections Winter is a signal for the spread of skin diseases. This is because many people neglect proper bathing, and are exposed to radical changes of temperature on the surface of the body. To rush out into a zero atmosphere while perspiring even the least bit, will aggravate skin troubles, or bring them about, if not worse. To work men in shops, or the indiscreet in farm houses, this article will be timely. Eczema is by far the most common winter skin disease. It may develop on any part of the human being, whether protected by clothing or not. It is not contagious—and may become a chronic disease, if neglected. Its chief symptom is itching or burning. Excessive "scratching" which seems imperative, may arouse moisture, even bleeding. Rarely does eczema scale or peel off. Of course you should consult your physician, if you get a persistent skin trouble that you don't understand. My advice must be general, though correct. Remove every source of irritation, if you have eczema—you will not recover with the best medicines if you do not. I once compelled a lady to cease wearing a fur neck-piece, much against her will, but she recovered from a fierce eczema of the neck and shoulders. Even very soft garments may irritate; change to less irritating. Use nothing on the skin that irritated you, and make sure that I know of, does nothing more than relieve the itching—it never cures. Even that is fine—for the claritum who sells the nostrum. If unfortunately, your eczema is all over or "universal," you should con- nerve specialist as well.

Part of the Livestock Show activities in Chicago included judging the healthiest boy and girl in the United States. Thela Svarstad, a South Dakota girl, who won the female championship, is seventeen years old, blonde, strong, weighs 122 pounds, is 5 feet 2 inches tall, drinks plenty of milk, no tea or coffee, and expects to be a teacher. The boy champion is William Tobias, of Michigan, fifteen years old, who weighs 130 pounds, is 5 feet 6 inches tall, like boxing, admires Jack Dempsey, also drinks lots of milk. Milk dealers, please notice this in your advertisements. From a livestock—and many other—points of view, these are fine American children. But somewhere in America there is a little baby shivering in its mother's arms, delicate, with a thin little body, a big head, wide anxious eyes, that some day will do things the healthiest boy and girl will never do. Write that down for your comfort, if you have a child that isn't so robust. Henry Ford's offhand statement, "No successful boy ever saved money," was not meant literally. He meant that it was better to spend for information than merely to save a few dollars. Thomas A. Edison, his intimate friend, "never had any money until he got so much that he couldn't spend it." The other "world's richest man," John D. Rockefeller, is surely a "successful boy," and did save money. He advises young and old to save now, as he hands each one a ten-cent piece with a smile worth a good deal of money. Mr. Rockefeller will tell you, "Save money, not chiefly for the money you save, but because saving teaches self control, and that's the beginning of wisdom." Ford has high respect for John D. Rockefeller. He said to this writer, "I never saw John D. Rockefeller but once. But when I saw that face I knew what made Standard Oil." Strange is the nature of man. In New York a young man confesses to strangling a fifteen-year-old girl whom he loved. He says she wanted to kiss him. That is his excuse.

Hints for the Home The background of architecture and furniture may endure for a long time for generations, perhaps, but the accessories of the home change style with amazing frequency. Pictures wrongly framed or hung too high, with peaked wires; bric-a-brac that is passe, or arranged in a way no longer considered "good"—such small decorative errors as these brand the home as out of date far quicker than do its furniture or rugs. The sofa cushions, reading lamps and erstwhile library scarf; the decorative screen fittings for the dining room—look to them carefully, for subtle changes have been at work among them, refining, simplifying, making them to the home what her accessories are to the French woman's toilette—seals that stamp the ensemble as up to date, or frankly "out."

There was deep regret in his dark wrested upon Duane. eyes as they "I accept" Duane, he rejoined quietly. "I'll go about the arrangements at once." He once left alone. Duane was her first. Never had his mind been so quick, so clear, so wonderful in its understanding of what had heretofeen been intricate and dusive impulses of his strange nature. His determination was to meet Poggin. Meet him before any one else had a chance—Poggin first—and then the others! He was as unalterable in the decision as if, on the instant of its acceptance, he had become stone. At a few minutes before half-past two a dark compact body of horsemen appeared far down, turning into the road. They came at a sharp trot—a group that would have attracted attention anywhere at any time. They came a little faster as they entered town—then faster still—now they were four blocks away—now three—now two. Duane backed down the middle of the vestibule, up the steps, and halted in the center of the wide doorway. There seemed to be a rushing in his ears through which placed sharp ringing the clef of iron hoofs. He could see the corner of the street. But suddenly into that shot leaned curvy bay horses. There was a clat- pacing of nervous hoops pulled to a halt. Duane saw the tawny Poggin speak to his companions. He dismounted quickly. They followed suit. They had the manner of ranchers about to conduct some business. No guns showed. Poggin started leisurely for the bank-door, quickening step a little. The others, close together, came behind him. Blossom Kane had a bag in his left hand. Jim Fletcher was left behind, and he had already gathered up the bridles. Poggin entered the vestibule first, with Kane on one side, Boldt on the other, a little behind him. As he strode in he saw Duane. "Great Scott!" he cried. Something inside Duane burst, piercing all of him with cold. Was it that fear? "Buck Duane!" echoed Kane. One instant Poggin looked up, and Duane loked down. Like a striking jaguar Poggin moved. Almost as quick, Duane threw his arm. the Judge's Josh When a Winstonville woman was told in Winston County Court to repeat what she said to her landlord when he asked for the rent, she asked: "Are you going to clear the court first?"

I hate failures!" Houskeeper: "I never do feed tramps." Old Tramp: "Aw, who's askin' ya to? Give us the grub—I'll feed myself." The taxi suddenly came to a halt in the middle of the street. "What is the matter?" called the man from the back seat. "I thought the young lady said stop," answered the chauffeur. "Well, she wasn't speaking to you, was she?" The guns boomed almost together. Duane felt a blow just before he pulled trigger. His thoughts came swift like the strange dots before his eyes. eye His rising gun had loosened in his hand. Poggin had drawn quicker! A tearing agony encompassed his breast. He pulled—pulled—at random. Thunder of booming shots all about hm! Red flashes—jets of smoke—shrilla yells. He—died—was—the end! The end— With siding sight he saw Kane go down, then Boldt. But supreme torture—bitter than death—Poggin stood, mane like a lion's, back to the wall, bloody-faced, grand, with his guns spouting red! All faded—darkened. The thunder deadened. Duane fell, seemed floating. There it drifted—Jennie Lee's sweet face, white, sad, with dark tragic eyes —fading—fading—fading— Light shone before Duane's eyes— thick, strange light that came and went. He seemed a long time with dull and booming sounds rushing by, filling all. It was a dream in which there was nothing. Drifting under a burden—darkness—light—sound —movement. Obscure struggling thought—vague sense of time—long time. There was blackness and fire, creeping consuming fire. He was rolled and wrapped in it—and a dark cloud carried him away, enveloped him. He saw then, dimly, a room that was strange, strange people moving about, over him, with faint voices, far away, things in a dream. He saw again, clearly, and consciousness returned, still strange, still unreal, full of those vague and faraway things. He was not dead, then. He lay stiff, like a stone, with a weight ponderous as a mountain upon him. And slow dull beating burning agony racked all his bound body. A man bent over him, looked deep into his eyes, and seemed to whisper from a distance: "Duane—Duane—Ah, he knew me!" After that another long time of darkness; when the light came again, clearer, this same dark-eyed earnest man bent over him. It was MacNelly—and with recognition the past flooded back. Duane tried to speak. His lips were weak and limp. Their movement was barely perceptible. "Have—you—sent—for her?" "No, oh no. It's not that bad. You're a chance. Why, man, you'll get well. You'll pack a sight of lead all your life, Duane. The whole Southwest knows your story. You need never be ashamed again of the name Buck Duane. I'll live in Texas with that of Davy Crockett. Think of Jennie—home—mother!" Then there was a white house—home—and his heart beat thick. How familiar it all was—how strange, too! And all seemed magnified. The someone in white cried low and knelt by his bed. His mother flung wide her arms with strange gesture. "That man—that's his father! Where is my boy? My son, oh, my son!"

I saw him uptown and asked him if he were mad. I didn't want to ask him right out why he quit. He didn't say a word except that he wasn't mad. Don't you think he has been stringing me along? Don't you think if he meant all he said he wouldn't have quit? Dear Puzzled, of course everything seems to point to the fact that he has been stringing you along, as you say, but if I were you I wouldn't be too sure of that. He' may be keeping away under some misconception or other and you ought to try to find out. Next time you see him ask him about people Duane had known, people who had grown up and married, failed, succeeded, gone away, died. But it was hard to keep Uncle Jim off the guns, fights, outlaws. He could not seem to divine how mention of those things made Duane shrink. Uncle Jim, old, childish now, and he had a pride in Duane. He wanted to hear it all—all of Duane's exile. And if there was one thing more than another, that pleased him it was to speak of the bullets Duane carried in his body. "Nine bullets, wasn't it? Nine in that last scrap. By gum! A man's a man to carry them. And you had three before." three before "She wore" replied Duane. "Yes, uncle," replied Duane. "Nine and three—that makes twelve. An even dozen. You could pack more than that, my boy, and get away with them. There's Duane. Younger—I seen him. He's got twenty-three. But he's a bigger man than you—mood flesh. "Funny, wasn't it, about the doctors only cuttin' one bullet out of you—that one in your breast bone? It was a forty-one caliber, an unusual cartridge. "There was one bullet left in Pogin's gun, and it was the same kind as the one cut out. By gum! boy, that bullet would have killed you if it'd stayed there." "It would, indeed, uncle," said Duane, and the old, haunting, somber mood returned. But Jennie was with him most of the time, and when she was by there was a deep, quiet joy such as had never been his. She knelt by him at the window, her sweet face still white, but with warm life beneath the marble, her dark eyes still intent, haunted by shadows, but no longer tragic. "The pain, Duane—is it any worse today, dear?" she asked. "No, it's the same. It will always be the same, Jennie. I'm full of lead, you know. But I don't mind that." "It's the old mood—the fear?" "Yes. It haunts me. I'll be able to go out soon. Then it'll come back." "No—no, Duane." she said. "Some drunken cowboy—some fool with a gun will hunt me out," he said miserably. "Buck Duane! To kill Buck Duane!" "Hush! Listen to me," she whispered, with tender arms round him. "I understand. But you will never have to draw again, Duane. You'll never kill another man, thank God. For you will have me with you always. Soon you'll be well. Then, Duane, we'll-be married. "We'll take Uncle Jim and mother and go far from Texas, north somewhere—to Indiana, Michigan, anywhere that we want. I have money, Duane. Isn't it wonderful? The little ragged girl you met out in Bl—out in the Rio Grande! "Do you remember my greaser sandals no stockings? And I was lame oh. Oh, it all comes back! But they past. We'll buy a farm, and you will be busy with horses and cattle and cattle." You'll forget. I'll love you so maybe I hope I will pray—maybe we'll be children. We'll be happy, Duane." They watched the sun set golden over the line of low hills in the West, down over the Nueces, far beyond the wild country of the Rio Grande which they were never to see again. THE END why he doesn't call on you any more he finds out instead of being wuzzled? In Love Dear Miss Vera, I am twenty-two and in love with a man of thirty-three. Do you think the difference in age is too great? DORIS. * * * Dear Doris, the difference in age doesn't matter—if you are in love. A Broken Date Dear Miss Vera, A boy has been trying to see me for weeks, and I always refused to make a date with him—just to tease him. Finally I made a date with him and he did not show up. Later he said he had been feeling ill, but I suspect that he broke the date out of revenge. What do you think? BELLE. * * * Dear Belle, I think that probably he really was ill, since he had been so anxious to see you. Why he so suspicious? Why tease him in that way? Make another date with him and see if he keeps it. I don't see how your explanation could have occurred to you—it seems outlandish to me to think he would try to get revenge by not keeping a date he was anxious to make. In that event, why should he have exasured himself and explained a...
