But it was RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1929 Dickerson's Eye Cut Out. Crawford Badly Cut. Arthur Mason Cleans Out His Place of Business—Charged with a Felony. Richard Dickerson is alleged to have staged a knife battle at 615 North Second Street before day Tuesday morning. As a result he is in St. Philip's Hospital with an eye destroyed by a knife wielded by the proprietor, Arthur Mason, who was endeavoring to stop a "rough house" which had been started in his restaurant. It is reported that Richard Dickerson, who is a friend of Anna Bell Mason, cook in the restaurant at 615 North Second Street, was fussing with her and threatening to cut her. AN INTERESTING CASE A most interesting case was heard in the Police Court last Tuesday morning when two colored oystermen, Walter Hudnall and Charles Hudnall, appeared to answer a charge of selling oysters without a peddler's license. Mr. J. T. Riddell appeared as prosecutor. They were represented by Attorney James T. Carter, who was well fortified with the law. The oystermen had State Arthur Mason, the proprietor, ordered him out of there. He did not come out and Robert Crawford and another man went into the kitchen to make him come out. Words followed and they proposed to settle it in the street. Just as Robert Crawford was going through the doorway in the street, Richard Dickerson cut him from behind, the knife making a dangerous wound down the cheek and just missing the jugular vein. Then Arthur Mason took a hand to get him out, and he made for Mason, who cut Dickerson in the face, destroying one of his eyes, it being cut. This happened between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning. Both men are in St. Philip's Hospital. Crawford's condition was said to be serious. Arthur Mason emphasized the fact that all he was doing was preserving order in his place of business.

Mr. J. T. Riddell appeared as prosecutor. They were represented by Attorney James T. Carter, who was well fortified with the law. The oystermen had State permits and had complied with all of the rules and regulations of the Health Department. Judge Haddon read all of these carefully, after which he postponed the case for further consideration. The law cited by Attorney Carter was apparently conclusive on the point that oystermen were exempt from peddler's license when they sold their products direct and did not handle them through another party. They were permitted to continue to ply their business until the further order of the court.

Church, made the mistake of staging one of the greatest drawing attractions this city has witnessed and then failing to have a place anywhere large enough to accommodate the crowd that surged around his attractive but moderate sized meeting place. His announcement was that four races would be represented. Droves of people went there only to be told that they could not be accommodated. Still, the people on the inside had "the time of their lives." An overflow meeting was held in the lecture room in the basement. The subject discussed was "What Should Be My Attitude to a Brother of Another Race?" Rev. Beverly D. Tucker, D. d., rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, delivered a most enlightening address. Then followed R. W. Carrington, Esq., chairman of the Inter-racial Commission; Samuel Geldman, Esq., and Dr. John M. Gandy, president of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Ettricks, Va. Baritone solos were charmingly sung by Mudge Paris, a native of Africa, and selections by the choir of St. Paul's Church. Rev. R. M. Williams, in his most pleasing manner, introduced the speakers. The meeting adjourned shortly after 10 o'clock. It was a great success. GRAVEL HILL NOTES Pastor W. L. Tuck preached a touching sermon Sunday morning at Gravel Hill Baptist Church, Henrico County.

C.—Farmers of the United States are becoming accused to the necessity of a higher tariff on foreign sugar entering this country if sugar beets are to continue to be a profitable crop on farms according to Horton A. Austin of the U. S. Beet sugar Association. ```markdown ``` "Attitude of farmers in the Western beet sugar producing states on the tariff question," said Mr Austin. "was revealed by the recent action of the County Farm Bureau Federation at Scottsbuff.尼., in adopting a resolution 'that this organization on record as favoring an increase in the tariff on sugar for the reason that a higher price of sugar must be obtained in order for the sugar beet farmer to receive a profit on his sales.' After a discussion of the sugar situation, the National Farmers' Union, representing agriculturists in every part of the United States, at its annual convention in Denver, went on record in --- favor of an adequate farm tariff with the following resolution: "That the national officials of the Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union of America be instructed to use all their efforts in support of legislation to protect the home market for all farm products on which the tariff is operative and favor such legislation as will make the tariff effective on such farm products as have exportable surpluses, to the end that the farmer may have a market as well protected as industry enjoys all the time." "Demand of farmers for greater tariff protection is likely to be one of the most potent factors in obtaining favorable action from Congress Virtual control of our home sugar: market by Cuban sugar imported under a preferential tariff has worked to the detriment of the farmer raising sugar beets. If no relief is forthcoming the domestic sugar industry will be faced with destruction and American agriculture with the loss of a profitable crop."

GEO. E. BUCHANAN When asked what he did if they got sick, he declared that they did not get sick, or if they had a bit of indisposition, the wonderful climate pepped them up and put them back on their feet immediately. "One boy gained 19 lbs. during the month's tour," said Buchanan, "and every boy has gone home a better boy physically, mentally and as a young business man. He has seen Alaska's wonders and has earned part of the money to finance the trip, which covers about 8,000 miles and a whole month. One of my youngest boys, who is 5 years old, has already earned about 600,000, and if he gets his own efforts, he will be in our party next summer, even if he is only six years old. Any boy, anywhere can go, provided he gets his parents' consent and earns his third." George E. Buchanan, sponsor and hacker of and roster for the movement of boys to Alaska, is planning to take 50 or more to the great United States' possession the coming summer. Buchanan, who is president of the Detroit Coal Exchange and five coal companies and a bachelor, believes that a trip to Alaska, provided boy partly earns his way, will be a wonderful formative incident in his life. He has already taken 300 boys to Alaska, and this will be his seventh annual personally conducted tour. Boys ages 9 to 17 must attend a course of 1250 hours. The students advance a third and Buchanan loans the boy one third, which is to be repaid later at the boy's issue. Buchanan, who gets letters from all over the United States and Canada addressed "Alaska, Buchanan, Detroit," and "Buchanan, Boy's Friend, Detroit," tells the boy who writes to him direct from anywhere how he can earn his third by selling pencils, kitchen tongs, coal, steel ash sash kits, etc. Boys who qualify ward through Canada and the Canadian Rockies, can attend Banff and Lake Louise, north to Alaska on the "Princess Louise." They see the providers of Alaska and return by the "Princess" to Vancouver and home through the United States, thus viewing the finest scenery in Canada, Alaska and the States. Buchanan goes with them on every trip and gives them his personal care. George E. Buchanan, sponsor and backer of and rooter for the movement of boys to Alaska, is planning to take 50 or more to the great United States' possession the coming summer.

Buchanan loans the boy one third, which is to be repaid later at the boy's 'ensure. "CATHEDRAL OF LEARNING" PRES. JOHN GOBBERT BOWMAN Indiana Limestone company, of which so many beautiful universities are constructed, are being used in the tower building to carry out the conception of permanence, beauty and perfection which has been the constant aim of the university. Architects the world over have proclaimed the artistry of the structure to be among the most impressive achievements of this era. They decided it will live through the art inspiration to those artistically inclined. Charles E. Klauder is the architect. A skyscraper Cathedral of Learning is rapidly assuming form on the University of Pittsburg campus. Termed by art critics "the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace," the edifice is one of the most original and interesting in America. On a 14-acre quadrangle, the towering stone structure lifts its head 526 feet into the clouds. The base of the cathedral is 225 feet square, but with the wings, it has an overarching space of 255 feet. In its ideal location it will dominate the whole of Pittsburg's impressive civic center, overlooking the Carnegie library, museum and art galleries, and the present hillside University campus. Clustered about the cathedral will be several low buildings. The first to be built will be a library, followed by a chapel and dormitories. Instruction in the liberal arts will be given in the lofty building, while the permanent buildings on the old campus will be used by the various professional schools. Class rooms, large lecture rooms, laboratories, departmental libraries and social rooms will be all included. Adequate elevator equipment will be provided. Plans for the group of smaller buildings surrounding the main building have not been completed.

Zion Baptist Church, wrote to the Richmond, Va. News-Leader one of the best communications upon this segregation question that up to this time has appeared in the columns of any journal. For sound argument and outstanding common sense, it was a gem. He has a man's head, but there is plenty of "horse sense" inside of it. We congratulate him. South Bend, Ind., wants colored men with ambition and enterprise to locate there. O. C. Haynes, 128 North Birdsell Street, South Bend, Ind., says: "We invite men and women of our group in any of the above fields to come to South Bend. We are business builders and not business killers." The call of Oswald Garrison Villard for the twentieth anniversary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is a surprising document. The review of its achievements is far-reaching and enlightening. There is no doubt but what that organization is watching for an opportunity to make an issue of the segregation ordinance in Richmond, Va. What we want to know is, what has become of those white folks who a few months ago were condemning religious bigotry and race prejudice because some people were condemning the great Alfred E. Smith for being a Roman Catholic and an Irishman. Many of them may now be observed as being first and foremost in advocating race prejudice against the Negro and paying no attention whatsoever to his plea for fair play and justice. A Negro Democrat has no more influence than a Negro Republican these days, and we are dumfounded to observe how quickly this party affinity between the races has broken down. Brethren, whether he be a Republican or a Democrat, Negro-hater cannot "stand the gaff" when it comes to the ridicule attached to his associating with even a respectable Negro. The colored folks are getting away from the white folks as far as they possibly can and they will continue to perform this kind of service. Let us live in peace down here. "A DIVERSION, NOT A DEFEAT" The Richmond, Va., News-Leader, under the caption, "A Diversion, Not a Defeat," says: "Because the segregation ordinance represents the wrong way of securing racial separation, the measure passed last night by the Board of Aldermen should and will be contested in the courts." This is a positive statement, coming from liberal white sources, and it indicates that the gentlemen who have trifled with Richmond's friendly relations between the races will yet have "a Roland for their Oliver," especially in view of the fact that all that they have been clamoring for can be obtained in a civic and economic way without stirring up racial antagonisms and arousing the most dangerous traits in both races. It says further: "The contest should be direct and as brief as practicable, in order that resentments may not be inflamed, or unreasoning elation created by the ultimate invalidation of the ordinance after a bitter, protracted contest. If the statute providing for declaratory decrees will apply in this instance—which is doubtful—it should certainly be invoked. If the statute does not apply, regular proceedings should be expedited. "The contest, moreover, ought to be affair, instituted by Richmond people, by Richard lawyers, by Richmond lawyers. It is bad enough to have a dispute of this kind; it would be still worse to have it aggravated by the coming of outside lawyers who make a business of capitalizing race prejudices. Richmond Negroes may be sure that they will find some of the ablest of Richmond lawyers convinced of the unconstitutionality of the ordinance and willing to sail it. These lawyers share the belief of thousands of people that when this measure is canceled by the courts, Richmond will find a better method of providing for racial separation." The above declaration is not only common sense, but, in the language of our forefathers, it is more than that, it is "horse sense." The following will give the sensible citizen of color hope: "Already the discussion has had the effect of bringing even the least sympathetic of Richmond people to realize that the city has not been doing justice to the Negro districts in sanitation and in street improvement. When the City Council finds that it cannot set up a black ghetto under the constitution, the members of that body will tackle seriously the question of making the Negro districts decently habitable, and will open up new quarters for the growing colored population. "The ordinance is not a defeat for better race relationship; it is simply a diversion." This reminds us of a statement made by a white citizen, who said that an African Egyptian, "as black as the ace of spades, is said to belong to the white race and a man from Jackson Ward whose complexion is "as fair as a lily" is said to belong to the Negro race. Let the colored folks mark time, retain their organizations intact and see what they shall see. "Mark time" should be the watchword. The white folks seem about to fight out this battle among themselves. When they are through and the results are not satisfactory, it will be time enough for our leaders to give us marching orders. Let us avoid insulting expressions, counsel conservatism and await developments. Sir: I have just read a very timely and courteous letter written by Rev. W. L. Ransome, in which he took occasion to thank you for the splendid editorial on race segregation which appeared in your issue of January 12th. In thanking you for himself he certainly bespoke the sincerest sentiments, the deepest appreciation of an oppressed race. But, when he paid his respects to my article on race segregation published on the same page, he garbled and misquoted it. In order to keep the record straight, what I said relative to Negro leaders in mass meeting assembled was this: "The said mass meeting was held at True Reformers' Hall and was largely attended by representative colored people. It is only fair, however, to point out that this was an opposition meeting, a negative movement and a very creditable one of its kind. But what a fine thing it would be and how much more creditable if these same Negro leaders would call another mass meeting, this one to do something constructive or instructive. Not a mass meeting merely to restrain or beg white people not to do this, that or the other, but a mass meeting of Negroes resolved to go forward and do something worthwhile for themselves." I hold that if the Negro is ever to be a man among men he must hold up his head; must begin to pave his own way; must learn to steer his own boat; must sail or sink under his own steam. In regard to the dereliction of Negro ministers mentioned, I agree with Rev. Ransome. Not only along the lines suggested by him, but I believe they "are derelict in duty if they do not tell people" that they are stepping the Negro is largely in his own hands; that they "a new concept of God," but a new concept of his own power, of his obligations to society and to his race. In connection with the above, let me say to this W. L. Ransome: Reverend Sir, aside from the advertisement that you are a "Negro Baptist leader," you very egotistically proclaimed from the house top that you are "Pastor First Baptist Church, South Richmond; president Baptist Ministers' Conference of Richmond; president Baptist General Association of Virginia! Indeed, sir, you boast of more titles than the President of the United States, yet you cannot cast a ballot in a Democratic primary if you wished; you cannot help select the assessor who taxes your property, if you have any; you cannot raise your office in choosing the man who should or shall not govern you. Until you acquire these common rights and privileges you are a voter, not a free citizen, not a full-fledged man. Though your name may be buried in titles, "though you may speak with the tongue of men and of angels," if you are not in possession of the ballot, you are "as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal." Allow me to make two comparisons with reference to political conditions: First, if there were sixty-five thousand Italians in Richmond instead of sixty-five thousand Negroes, Mussolini would nearly dictate the policy of our local administration, and why? Because his nationality would pay poll tax, register and vote. Secondly, if there were sixty-five thousand Jews in Richmond instead of that number Negroes, the Jews would run this city. They run its finances now, and there are but ten thousand, and why? Because they exercise the right of franchise. Today most of the Negro population of Richmond, including their leaders, are grief-striken, crying like children and begging for the things they have a right to demand if voters. They need determination to secure the ballot, though it may cost an appeal to the Federal Supreme Court. In this fight they need the indomitable will of "Stonewall" Jackson, the most charismatic courage of Robert E. Lee, and the spirit of ourOUR Jesus Christ. These are my sentiments, my principles, my convictions and upon them the defense rests his case. THEODORE W. JONES THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 8:00 P.

Daubersville, Pa. --- JACK JOHNSON'S OWN STORY OF HIS GREAT FIGHT WITH JIM JEFFRIES AT RENO. PUGILIST FORMERLY RECOGNIZED==NOW AMONG GALAXY OF WORLD'S CHAMPIONS WRESTLING Tex Rickard's story of the great fight between Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson, by which Johnson became the undisputed champion of the world has been published. We re produce Jack Johnson's statement of the same event. TWO FIGHTS FOR CROWN. It was virtually necessary for me to wage two ring battles before I established undisputed claim to the championship. My fight with Burns really gave me the title, for he was the recognized champion. When I acquired his laurels, the question suddenly arose as to whether or not Burns was the champion. It was stoutly declared by some that Jeffries was the champion, because he actually had not lost the title in the ring, merely having voluntarily relinquished it to Hart, who had been defeated by Burns. BURNS' CLAIMS. It was upon this basis that Burns claimed the championship and it hever was questioned until I established my claim. At any rate I was not permitted to rest secure in the title. I was constantly harassed and criticised. Those who conceded, but resented my rightful claim to the title started a turmoil by hunting a "white hope" or one who would regain the title for the white race. This hunt was a long and bitter one. All kinds of condemnation was heaped upon me—originating from no other cause than that I was not white. .. WAS STILL CHAMPION. .. A large proportion of the public or that part interested in boxing at least, insisted that Jeffries still was champion and that I must defeat him if I wished to retain the belt. I did not object to this proposal. I was willing to defend my claims against any man in the world. I lent my efforts and willingness to arrange a bout with Jeffries. It is interesting to note that Jeffries him self laid $d$ claim to the title. He had retired from the ring and wished to remain out of it. DECLINED TO FIGHT. At first, he declined to fight and much pressure had to be brought upon him to induce him to consider a match. An insistent demand that from the country, he asked demand that he fight. He said he was the "white hope" available and that he must meet me in order to keep the title in the possession of the white race. He had not fought for a long time, but he finally agreed to meet me and it was arranged that we should fight July 4, 1910 at San Francisco. AN HISTORIC FIGHT. . . . This fight too was an historic one and stands out as one of the most unusual ring events in the world. A one-time champion—one of the greatest fighters in the history of boxing had been coaxed back to contend for the title in or des to satisfy felineosity, hatred and prejudice. I deeply regretted this phase of the fight but I was determined that I would defend my title and demonstrate that I was worthy of it. . . . . . . . . CONFIDENT OF VICTORY. I knew that I could whip Jeffries. Parade of Pugilists I was so willing to meet him that I made many concessions just as I had in the Burns fight, but being the title holder, I did reserve the right to dictate some of the financial terms as a result of which I was able to obtain a modest fortune, which was really the most substantial returns I had ever received from my ring ventures. The fight was promoted and managed by Tex Rickard and both he and I had our troubles with the affair. MANY DIFFICULTIES Throughout the whole business there were many difficulties and disappointments. It seemed that Fate was working overtime to stop the fight or to make it a failure. Rickard at first wished to stage the fight in Salt Lake City, but Californiaans brought so much pressure upon him that he agreed to hold the mill in San Francisco. After he had obtained a license, built the arena and sold $300,000 worth of tickets and Jeffries and myself had established training quarters in the San Francisco district. Gov. Gillette suddenly forbade the fight, giving no explanation for his action. ... LOST MUCH MONEY. . . Rickard lost $50,000 by that move but undismayed he set out to find another site and negotiated for holding the contest at Reno, Nevada to which place it was necessary for us to move our training quarters. As the plans for the fight progressed strained relations developed between George Little, my manager, and myself. He had carried on the negotiations for the fight in my behalf but while I was training, events came to such an issue between him and me that we separated and from THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA then en unti the day of the fight, he carried on a campaign against me, based upon misunderstanding and falsification, that in the end, proved disastrous to him and all who had listened to him. .. JEFFRIES ANGRY Jeffries was very bitter toward me and inudged in many hateful and venomous remarks concerning me. He condemned me in seating terms. For a long time he declared that he had drawn the color line. He attacked Burns for fighting me, asking that he was money mad and that he had sold his pride and the pride of the Caucasian race by fight ing me. Jeffries' father, a minister said he would disown his son if he appeared in the ring with me, for getting that his son, Jack had been in the ring with me in 1902 and that both Jim and his brother, Jack had During all of this long period, while discussion of our fight was carried on, the exchampion was engaged in the theatrical business. He devoted much time to denying that he would meet me or informing the public what he would do in the event he did meet me. This talk, which filled the sporting pages was good advertising for him and made his show business profitable, and when the articles were finally signed by us, he proceeded to make as much capital out of it as possible and there was no doubt, but that the cause or his forthcoming meeting with me the public paid more willingly and liberally to see him on the stage. ..... JACK NOT BITTER. I bore no bitterness toward Jeff fries; I said very little in reply to his taunts and criticisms further than to reiterate my wish and will ingness to fight him. As the fight neared, ugly rumors were afloat concerning the "fixing" of the fight and frequently it was declared that I was going to "lee down to Jeff." To these I paid little attention, though I admit that many circumstances developed which made the outcome seem doubtful to me . . . BREAK WITH MANAGER. My break with Little, my manager coming as it did during the training period caused the public to indulge in much speculation and when he hinted that he had information to the effect that the fight was "fixed" letting it be known that this was the reason for splitting with me, the public was more than ready to be lieve it. Little circulated about freely at Reno and became very interested in him. Then the Jeff fries camp. More than that he bet heavily on Jeffries and that was the signal for many others who originally intended to back me, to switch their money to Jeff. THE BETTING ODDS CHANGED. This also shot the betting odds upward. The fact is that the things that caused Little and me to separate were insignificant. They concerned the fight in no way and were not even based upon business relations. I liked Little, for he was a splendid fellow in many ways but subject to crutic and hot headed action. When I learned that he was betting on Jeff and hinting at crookedness on my part I was not resentful as much as sorry for him and sent him word cautioning him not to be silly. BELIEVED HE WOULD WIN. "I am going to win this fight!" I told him "and if you do not want to lose your money you better not bet on Jeff." My warning had no effect upon him. He continued to put all the money he could raise on Jeff and urged his friends to do the game. The consequences to him and his friends, in a financial way, my readers can easily guess. Opposition to me was heightened and belief in the possibility of crookedness was increased, when Sam Langford arived on the scene and intimated that he had information to the effect SAM LANGFORD QUOTED. Perhaps Langford did think that Jeffries would win but, neither he nor any other had any except an imaginary reason to believe the fight was not on the square. Langford, however disliked me, principally. I think, because I had defeated him having given him a good beating at one time. At any rate, he bet on Jeff, and his friends and others for lowed his example. The results were disastrous for them but preceding the fight Langford's activities lent color to the rumors afloat concerning me. "AN EASY OPPONENT." Recently, he was reported to have said, in an interview for a magazine article that he found me an easy opponent, in spite of the fact that I defeated him. I have $n_0$ deire to exaggerate my ability as a boxer, to minimize the capacities of my opponent. Langford calls attention to the fact that he knocked me down $t_0$ indicate that I did not have the best of him. If Mr. Langford really gave this interview, all that I can say is that, in the lanugage of the prize ring, he is punch crazy for no such knocking down of me occurred. The fact is that I dropped him a few times during the encounter. The boxers and sport writers, who witnessed the event, among whom I recall the names of Joe Waltcott. Mike Twin Sullivan, John Twin Sullivan, Stephen Mahon ey a noted Boston sport writer and Alec McLean, fight promoter, will attest the truth of my remarks. (To Be Continued) TEX PI Though Yet Sp TEX RICKARD Though Dead Yet Speaketh ```markdown ``` His Estimate of and the Latter Jeffries-Jo at Reno, His Estimate of "Jack" Johnson and the Latter's Description Jeffries-Johnson Fight at Reno, Nevada. Jim Jeffries was not actually knocked down and out by Jack Johnson. In fact, as referee I did not count him out—made no count at all. This statement is made in answer to several requests I have had to tell just how Jack Johnson knocked out Jeffries on that memorable Fourth of July in Reno. The end came after it was very apparent that Jim Jeffries was beaten. Johnson was entirely too clever for him and seemed to have more physical strength. Jack was gradually wearing the big fellow down and had him wobbling about the ring. In the twelfth round, after Jeffries had been knocked down and laid up against the ropes and had showed that he had no more chance of winning Sam Berger jumped in the ring. "That's enough!" he said to me TEX CATCHES JOHNSON'S ARM. Just as he said it Johnson had drawn back for a final blow and I caught his arm. That was the end of the fight. Jeffries was on his feet. It was scored, a technical knockout, of course. In a few minutes Johnson would have had him out. Sam Berger was very wise and sensible in stopping it when he did. For me the end of that famous fight was a great relief. My job of refereeing had been no trouble at all. The men fought cleanly, and there was little for me to do except keep them at it. . . . The greatest relief, though, was that the fight, at last, had been successfully pulled off. I knew it was a financial success before we entered the ring. Hundreds of those holding tickets for the fight in San Francisco had exchanged their tickets for seats at Reno. The arena was full. . . JEFFRIES MAKES MISTAKE At the very start of the fight. Jeffries made the mistake of trying How Thin Men and Women Gain Weight McCoy's Tablets, sugar coated and rich in weight building agents are easy to take and will not upset or even disturb the most delicate stomach...

CKARD h Dead peaketh "Jack" Johnson's Description Johnson Fight Nevada. to box with Johnson. The darky was entirely too clever for him. In the first round however, Johnson was extremely cautious. He feinted around to be sure of his ground. For three minutes, he took no chances whatever. Johnson was a very clever ring general. He was trying to see how far he could go. When Jeffries tried to box him, Jack began to grin. . . . As the fight progressed Johnson knew he was going to win. Then his boyishness came to the surface. He could not resist making jokes. In one mixup Jeffries missed and Johnson soaked him a good one. "Mr. Jeffries," said the darky, his lips parting in a big grin, "ain't no use in talking, dis is one time you'ee met yo' Waterloo!' Jez go' an' tell 'em J said' so. Yas, sir—Waterloo is right! JOHNSON "KIDS" CORBETT. The Jeffries crowd still had hopes and were yelling encouragement from all parts of the arena. Jim Corbett, second to Jeffries, was following every move and making occasional comment. Finally John son caught his eye. Again he smiled—showed those gold teeth. . . . "Mr. Corbett," he remarked, looking over the edge of the ring, "you better come up here and help out Mr. Jeffries." . . . A few minutes later he spoke to Corbett again. "Cain't do no good out there, Mr. Jim" said the grinning dark. "This Mr. Jeffries needs somebody up here, and right now!" . . . There was never a gamer fighter than Jim Jeffries. He gave all he had, but he was up against it. I don't know if anything could have saved him, there is no doubt in my mind that, the stomach, trouble weakened him. He appeared heavy and slow moving from the start. When it was all over I hurried to find out just how we stood finan cally. The receipts for that fight were $270,715! I suppose my smile would have been as golden as that of Jack Johnson if I had had the gold teeth. After all the troubles and irritations as I was a big winner.

SIX Earlier in the month, in speaking of the different types of skin, I likened the thin skin to a piece of fine silk. I also told you that the thin skin possesses a transparent tone, has a clear inner tone, and that the lack of the thin-skinned system of the thin-skinned woman makes the pore structure less apparent. This is the type of skin that really requires the greatest amount of care. And it is more delicate in texture and does not have the resistance of the heavier or thicker skin which can more easily throw off the effects of the elements. The thin or dry skin will chap, redden and peel much more quickly than one that is thick or oily. Therefore, in the daily care of such a skin it is very important to use preparations that will replace some of the oil which is lacking naturally. And for that reason, I advocate only the occasional use of water for cleansing the dry skin. After the extreme dry condition has been corrected by frequent applications of rich creams that will build up the starved skin texture, water can be used more frequently, but not daily. The action of water on the dry skin is to dry still further of the natural oil that still remain in the skin and make the skin almost, so to the extent. Whereas the frequent application of rich, nourishing and feeding creams will give the skin some of the oils that it lacks naturally.

In Mother's Arms After ```markdown ``` AUTOCAS dry skin are: Cleansing, stimulating, nourishing and toning. The cleansing should consist of an application of good cleansing cream worked in lightly with the finger tips. Be sure in applying your creams not to stretch or pull the skin, but work them in gently. The stimulation should consist of a mild stimulating lotion that will whip up the circulation and bring the blood to the surface. The nourishment should be in the form of a feeding massage cream, rich in consistency. Your daily beauty treatment should be finished with the application of a skin-toning lotion that is especially prepared for dry skins and which is only slightly astringent, as the majority of women who possess thin skins do not have a great amount of fleshy tissue. Those who have dry skins should give very special attention to the flesh surrounding the eyes, as this oftentimes is more dry than the rest of the face, and unless it is fed generously with a rich anti-wrinkle cream (if possible left on overnight), you will see the approach of fine lines and wrinkles both below and at the sides of the eyes. Niluna Rubrysteine Now Used to Kill Flu and Virtue in War Gas AS FLU PREVENTATIVE The preventative is prepared by pouring a generous dose of zonite into a bowl, adding a pinch of bicarbonate of soda or cream of tarter, and placing the bowl on a radiator. When the mixture becomes hot a quantity of chlorine gas, strong enough to kill influenza germs, is thrown off, and when inhaled, the flu germs lurking in the throat and nostrils are killed. These girls, by inhaling these fumes prepared from zonite and bicarbonate of soda, swallow the day, have not yet missed a pneumonia because of illness during the center winter. A remarkable preventative when one considers that day after day they are exposed to germs brought into the theatre by the public. ter Setting New Mark THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR PEB. 26 CHRISTIAN GROWTH INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR PEB. 26 CHRISTIAN GROWTH Ideals are to be actualized in order to make them practical. We have now had seven lessons in this quarter which present great truths in the Christian religion. Today we observe how these facts can be wrought into real life. Peter is chosen as the special example. At the beginning he was quite like the average fisherman on Galilee. His human nature is evident throughout and thus he becomes the more helpful to us. In addition to the passages of Scripture indicated in our heading, the following are also to be studied in the present research: Luke 2:40-52; Ephesians 4:11-16; Philippians 1:6, 9-11; 3:12-16; Colossians 1:9-11; Hebrews 6:1-3. These topical lessons have an added value because they require constant reference to the Bible. Andrew is the man who introduces us to Simon, his brother. Both John and Andrew were follows of John the Baptist until Jesus came. They then turned to the superior Teacher. Andrew is convinced that Jesus is the long looked for Messiah after spending the day with him. At once he seeks out his own brother and tells the startling news. Simon comes to observe and ends with an open friendship for the Nazarene who speaks prophetically of his work and gives him the name of Peter, a Rock, signifying the nature of the work he will carry forward in establishing the Kingdom on earth. Some months later Peter is among the goodly number who are called to become disciples, which means learners. Later he was selected as one of the Twelve and styled an apostle—one sent forth. Then real schooling began for the work that was to consume the rest of his life. He joined a teacher-training class, with Jesus as the Master Teacher. After about two and a half years of general and intensive instruction a quiz class was held at Caesarea Philippi when Jesus asked the blunt question "Who do men say that the Son of man is?" Though the answer may have been quickly phrased it was the result of much meditation. Boldly Peter answered "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." At once the Teacher commends him for this reply which announces the full divinity of this despised Man of Nazareth. Living up to great ideas and truth is another matter. Peter failed completely on the night of the crucifixion, though he had just boasted that he would champion the Lord even unto death. As soon as the cock crew Peter re-established his thinking, though remorse was unbounded. It remained for Jesus to recommission him after the resurrection. This was done after the miraculous draught of fishes at Galilee. Three times Peter was asked, "Lovest thou me," and each time a positive answer was given. Christian growth had begun once more. The fullness of his spiritual strength is manifested when Peter preached that sermon that obtained 3,000 converts on the Day of Pentecost. In one of his epistles Peter wrote, as in our Golden Text, "But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." Fine Quality of Raw Furs Brings Big Prices This Season Fine Quality of Raw Furs Brings Big Prices This Season FINE FURS READY FOR BALING Trappers and hunters on the North American continent are assured the highest prices ever paid for many kinds of wild-animal pelts which are so universally in demand this season. Not only are high prices being paid for the skins of American fur-bearers, but almost all furs are of finer quality than in several years past, according to the head of the largest house in the world dealing exclusively in American raw fur. "Millions of people in this country and abroad depend upon American fur for comfort, adornment and satisfaction of personal sanguoria desires," Don L. Omo, a professor of A B Robertson, Chicago, told a group of furriers, recently "The United States is one of the greatest fur producing countries in the world, the state of Louisiana, alone, producing more fur than all of Canada." "Although it is not generally known, thousands of men spend their entire time trapping and hunting fur-bearers in this country and Canada, so great is the demand for furs." Mr. Omo continued. "Tremendous quantities of such pelts as foxes mink, beaver, otter recoon opossum skunk, coyotes, and wolves and ever rabbits, are used annually, and we are paying the topmost prices for them. Many trappers and hunters of these animals earn very comfortable incomes during the fur season, which begins in November and ends in March. For five months of intensive campaigning for raw furs, these men, and a few women trappers and hunters, can live on the receipts of their catches for the remainder of the year. The fur is found everywhere, are among the most important of all furs, not individually, but in bulk. The bunny fur is the basis of the fur felts manufactured and used in the United States and abroad. More than 50 kinds of fur are imitated from rabbit pelts, and jackrabbit skins are especially prized by ladies' felt but manufacturers. We can use millions of rabbit pelts, some of these does not resemble as many as 25,000 in a single shipment." Mr. Omo elaborated upon the early history of trapping furs, when the Indian trading posts did not differ a whole lot from the present-day fur receiving depots, excepting in appearance and volume of business transacted. Trapping, which once was the only industry of the great and unexplored west, still is one of this country's most important industries. A B. S. Hubbert, inc., supplies American manufacturers, well as the American manufacturers, such as Paris, London, Leipzig and Milan, with hundreds of thousands of American raw furs, particularly fine mink fur, nutter and foxes. ```markdown ``` Tennis Star May Wed AUTOCASTER Suzanne Lenglen, famous tennis player, and Baldwin M.

The purpose of the nation-wide tour is to demonstrate tires on different cars under various roads, driving, and weather. The fifteen "ships" of the fleet are brand new stock cars of all makes and models colored to a uniform silver hue and piloted by unmarried college graduates who have been in training for the trip since last July.

The Trail Riders of TRAIL RIDERS IN CANADA'S ROCKIES Lovers of the great outdoors, particularly horseback riders, will be interested to learn that the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies, an organization including artists and cowboys, authors and Indians, packers, scientists and others, are planning two trail rides through the Canadian Rockies for the summer of 1929. The first will be a four days' circuitous point, leaving Banff, Alberta, famous port in the heart of the Rockies, August 1, to Castle Mountain Bungalow Camp, travelling via Healy Creek Sunshine Valley and Simpson Pass. Other places to be visited during this There is also an adjutant to the Commander, and a "yeoman" who keeps the log of the trip. Each of the pilots is responsible for the care of the car he drives. All are natty uniformed, and have already put into flight one party who mistook them for State Troopers. The pilots of the Silver Fleet are all picked men, eleven young college athletes from 22 to 25 of age. Five of these men are experienced flyers.

There can be no doubt of the value of certain vaccines in the prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases. By the intelligent use of this method, much suffering can be avoided, and many conditions alleviated. Medical science has now practically abolished typhoid fever, malaria, small-pox, yellow fever, and other infectious diseases—and, has shorn diphtheria and, has scarlet fever, tetanus, hydrophobia, and other fatal maladies of much of their terrors. In an epidemic of influenza, I once gave pharyngeal vaccines to twenty-five patients. Twenty-three of them passed through the scourge without contracting disease, although several of them lived in infected families. The other two fared not so well; one of them had the "flu" when he took the first infection, the other, a tubercular, also well along with the disease, old of broncho-pneumonia, in spite of the efforts of myself and an able consultant. Since then, I have given immunizing vaccine to many people, and, have found the precaution most satisfactory for the patients and myself. If your occupation exposes you to any epidemic disease, I would advise you strongly to permit your physician to immunize you by giving you appropriate vaccination, using the product of a reliable maker of such things. Like every other good thing, vaccine has been capitalized by the most human quacks; be on your guard. It is safe to conclude that all medical assistors, those who "guarantee rest are rank impostors, who get in trouble for nothing; exercise diligence and trust your re- unily doctor. BORAH, GOOD AMERICAN GROW YOUR OWN FUR COATS EINSTEIN'S DISCOVERY PUBLISHERS, CHEER UP BORAH, GOOD AMERICAN GROW YOUR OWN FUR COATS EINSTEIN'S DISCOVERY PUBLISHERS, CHEER UP Senator Borah, good American, fears that if we build cruisers without making arrangements satisfactorily to Britain we shall have a "shipbuilding race with England." If necessary, why not have it? But Britain couldn't afford it and knows well that we shall never attack Britain unless we are first attacked. The British, while they could, dominated the sea, and were proud of it. Whoever didn't like it could lump it. That condition existed from the day when Nelson at Trafalgar wiped out Napoleon's chances of British conquest up to 1924. It is Uncle Sam's turn now. Airplanes, submarines, fast cruisers, will answer any question from any other nation, and this country should have the answer ready. Grow your own fur coats at home. Vern Mannon Bailey of the Agricultural Department tells you that muskrats, supposed to need big swamps, can be raised like rabbits or guinea pigs, in small pens. They need only enough water to keep comfortably wet and cool in Summer. This will interest California rabbit raisers, among others. The world of science, including Bertrand Russell, called the greatest living mathematician, is interested in Professor Einstein's announcement that electro-magnetism and gravity are practically the same. This discovery, says the learned Dr. Pupin, of Columbia University, places Einstein beside Galileo and Newton. All interested in physics await a demonstration that there is only one kind of force in the universe, that light, heat, motion, electromagnetism, gravity are all the same. Einstein seems to confirm part of Herbert Spencer's definition of evolution which describes the "retained emotion" as undergoing a transformation from "an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity."

Then the crockery. One by one, out go the uninteresting specimens and in come odd-shaped pieces that are pretty with our orange linings—say moss green crocks; in the little brown-jug color; perhaps a piece or two, a deep green one.

Since they created the men for wars, they should have something to say about war. Everybody agrees with Mrs. Pankhurst now, and Mr. Baldwin, who opposed her, will unveil her monument. When she was alive, demanding justice for women, they put her in jail. She starved herself until she was released, justice not liking the idea of disposing of her corpse, and that is what it would have had to do. Released from prison, she renewed her fight, chained herself to the iron railings before the Commons, was jailed again, and again entered self-imposed starvation. Her courage won. British women vote in the House of Commons and help to make laws. Mrs. Pankhurst lies in her grave, her death has tended by hardship; and those that hounded her now honor her. She is satisfied.

"Very Latexs" By Cecile The newest thing in sportswear is perhaps the two-piece costume of heavy knitted silk with drawn work motifs and embroidery done in colored chenille. This is quite aside from the futuristic tendencies of the jerseys and gives a delightfully feminine touch that will be welcome to many who are a bit conservative. ETHEN CARRYMORE (now playing in "The Kingdom of God") illustrates the model for us. Here the costume is a rich beige shade with motifs embroidered in beige, orange and brown tones. The kerchief is pale brown and beige checked silk with a dark brown border. While not so practical for all types and complexions, certain raspberry and green shades in this model are made particularly effective through the colors introduced in the embroidery. Ginghams? They are a long way off, perhaps but prepare yourself.

Well, you need not be all-of-a-tone this time. The forecast runs somewhat as follows: A yellow blouse with the wood brown suit; red, beige or white with blue blue; a princess dress with a darker green, and so on. We should be able to work out some very charming effects in this way. The Leaf Motif New Swinging away from rosy-posy patterns, we find the leaf motif an outstanding feature of new printed fabrics. And these designs are far from naturalistic—sometimes but a more outline of the leaf splashed or speckled with varied colors; again the design is of the highly idealized type.

There an exile, Lucienda di Marioni, has come for love of Adrienne in England, and an Englishman, Lord of the town, who falls in love with Adrienne on his way to Margherita, who tells him his love for Adrienne less. But he pleads with her to arrange an accident, to say farewell, and Adrienne to marry. She consents. That night the Englishman is informed of an attempt being made to kidnap Leonardo, the Englishman, who are walking by brigands employed by a rejected sutor on a lonely street to the scene, and prove able to rescue the scene, and prove inflamed by the failure of his scheme, Leonardo sees Margarita, the investigator of the attempted attack. The Englishman now sees Adrienne like the Englishman, sit beside her, and look up, his eyes the investigator of the attempted attack, he sees the Sicilian, and scents trouble. "We sat here a week ago," recalls Leonardo, "and we looked up, he sees the Sicilian, and scents trouble. The Englishman at first refused to accept a challenge to duel, then when the Italian slips on the ground, he falls, and other ready to fight to the death. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY It was a fair spot which their two seconds had chosen to stain with bloodshed. Close almost to their feet, the blue waters of the Mediterranean, glistening in the early morning sunlight, broke in tiny, rippling waves upon the firm white sand. Inland was a semi-circle of steep cliffs, at the base of which there were great boulders of rock, fern-covered and with hyacinths of many colors growing out of the crevices, and lending a sweet fragrance to the fresh morning air. It was a spot off from the world, for the towering cliffs ran out into on either side, completely loosening the little cave. There was only one possible approach to it, save by boat, and that a difficult one, and, looking upward from the shore, hard. But on the northward side the cliffs suddenly dropped, and in the cleft was a thick plantation of aloes, through which a winding path led down to the beach. Perhaps of all the little group gathered down there to witness and take part in the coming tragedy, Signo Pruncio, Lord St. Maurice's second was looking the most disturbed and anxious. His man, he knew, must fall and an ugly sickening dread was in his heart. It was so like a murder He pictured to himself that fair boyish face—and in the clear morning sunlight the young Englishman's face showed marvelously few signs of the night of agony through which he had passed—grashtly and livid, with the stamp of death upon the forehead, and the deep blue eyes glazed and dull. It was an awful thing, what yet could he do? What hope was there? Leonardo di Marioni he knew to be a famous swordman; Lord St. Maurice had never fenced since he had left Eton, and scarcely remembered the positions. It was doubtful whether he had given even a chance to signor Sigor Frenco feared most was the pale, unfinished hate in the Sicilian's white face. He loathed it, and yet it fascinated him. He knew, alas! how easily, by one swift turn of the wrist, he would be able to pass his sword through his unskilled defense. He fancied that he could see the arms thrown up to heaven, the fixed, wild eyes, the red blood spurt out from the wound and staining the virgin earth; almost he fancied that he could hear the death-cry break from those agonized white lips. Horrible effort of the imagination. When we were made him had made his services this young English lord, and dragged him into assiscing at a duel, which forced him to assistive—worse than a murder? He would have given half his fortune for an earthquake to have come and swallowed in that merciless Sicilian. Signor Prunello had delayed the duel as long as he could, under the pretext of waiting for the doctor who had been instructed to follow them, but who had not yet arrived. Since the Sicilian had urged that they should commence, and each time he had pleaded that they might wait for a few minutes longer. To enter upon a duel à Tourneau, save in the presence of a medical man, was a thing unheard of, he declared. But at hat this respite was exhausted, for the opposing second, with a pleasant smile, had remarked that he himself was skilled in surgery, and would be happy to officiate should any necessity arise. There was no longer any excuse. Lovely himself insisted on the signal being given. Sally, therefore he preempted him, already both men had fallen into position. The word troubled upon his lips. A flock of sea-birds flew screaming over their heads, and he waited a moment until they should have passed. Then he raised his hand. The cry was a woman's. They all looked round. Only a few yard a way from them stood Adrienne, her hair hair streaming loose in the morn breeze, and her gown tern are culed. She had had her hair a short aion plaitation, and was trembling in her limb from the speed of her nausea. this stood on the Sicilian's face hence no one did it. 1. What is no need for you to look teeth? "Stop!" The Cry Was A Woman's "You will not save your lover by waiting. You will or I will before kittens She walked calmly between them she looked from one to the other. and looked from one to another. "Lord St. Maurice, I need not ask you, if I know this duel is not of your seeking?" "It is not! you know," lowering his sword, "This fellow insulted me, and I punished him publicly in the restaurant of the Hotel de l'Europe last night. In my opinion, that squared matters, but he demanded satisfaction, and from his point of view, I suppose he has a right to it. I am quite ready to pay for it, and they had fallen back. They three were alone. She went up to the Sicilian and laid her hand upon his arm. "Leonardo, we have been friends, have we not? Why should you seek to do that which will make us enemies for ever? I have broken no faith with you. I never gave you one word of hope, I never loved you, I never had love, I never should you seek to murder the man whom I do love, and make me miserable for His face was ghastly, but he showed no sign of being moved by her words. "Bah! You talk as you feel—just now!" he said quickly. "I tell you that I do not believe one word. If he had not come between us, you would have been mine some day. Love like mine would have conquered in the end. Away! away! he cried, pushing her back in growing excitement, and stamping on the ground with his feet. "The sight of you only maddens me, and nerves my arm to kill! Though you beg on your knees for his life, that man shall die" "I shall not beg upon my knees" she answered proudly. Leonardo, for your own sake, for the sake of your own happiness, I bid you once you would stain your hand with the blood of the man who is more to me than you can ever be. In this what you call love? Leonardo, beware! I am not a woman to be lightly robbed of what is dear to me. Put up your sword, or you will repent it to your dying day." The Sicilian was unmoved. The sight of the woman he loved championing his foe seemed to madden him. "Out of my way!" he cried, grasping his sword firmly. "Lord St. Maurice, are you not weary of skulking behind a woman's petticoats? On guard! I say. On guard!" She suddenly flung her hands above her head, and there was what seemed to be a miraculous increase in the little group. Three men in plain, dark clothes sprang from behind a gigantic bowler, and, in an instant, the Sicilian was seized from behind. He looked around at his cantors, pale and furious. They were strangers to him. As yet, he did not realize what happened. "What does this mean?" he cried furiously. "Who dares to lay hands upon me? We are on free ground!" She check her head. "Leonardo, you have brought this upon yourself," she said, firmly but compassionately, "You plotted to murder the man I love. I warned you that, to protect him, there was nothing which I would not dare. Only a moment ago I gave you another chance. One word from you and I would have thrown these papers into the sea," producing a packet from her bosom, "rather than have placed them where I do now!" A fourth man had strolled out of the aloe grove, smoking a long cigarette. Into his hands Adrienne had placed the little packet of letters, which he accepted with a low bow. Even now the Sicilian felt swelled; but as his eyes fell upon the fourth man he started and trembled violently, gazing at him as though fascinated. "I do not understand!" he faltered. The fourth man removed his cigarette from his teeth and produced a paper. "Permit me to explain," he said politely. "I have here a warrant for --- --- your arrest, Count di Mariani, alias Leonardo di Cortegi, on two counts; first, that you, being an exile, have returned to Italian soil; and secondly, on a further and separate charge of conspiracy against the Italian Government, in collusion with a secret society, calling themselves "Members of the Order of the White Hyacinth." The proofs of the latter conspiracy, which were wanting at your first trial, have now been furnished." He touched the little roll of papers which he had just received, and, with a bow, fell back. There was an ominous silence. At the mention of his first name a deathlike pallor had swept in upon the Sicilian's face. His manner suddenly became quite quiet and free from "Stop!" The Cry Was A Woman's excitement. But there was a look in his dark eyes more awful than had been his previous fury. "You have done a brave thing indeed, Adrienne!" he said slowly. "You have saved your lover. You have betrayed the man who would have given his life to serve you. Listen to me! As I loved you before so do I hate you now! As my love for you in the past has governed my life, and brought me always to your side, so in the days to come shall my undying hate for you and for that man shape my actions and mold my life, and bring me over sea and land to the wreathe corners of the earth to wreak my vengeance upon you. Be it ten, or twenty, or thirty years, they keep me rotting in their prisons, the time will come when I shall be free again; and then, beware! Search your memory for the legends of our race! Was ever a hate forgotten, or an earth broken? Hear me swear, be cried, raised his elapsed hands, bound his head with a student passionate gesture, by the earth, the sky and the sea, and the earth, I swear that, continue unchanged and unchanging, so shall my hate for you remain! Ah! you can take your lover's hand, treasure, and think to protection there. But in your heart I read your fear. The day shall come when you shall kneel at my feet for mercy, and there shall be no mercy. Gentlemen, my sword, I am at your service." PART TWO TWENTY-FIVE YEARS LATER For three days Count Leonardo di Marioni abide in his sitting-room at the Hotel Continental, living the life of a man in a dream. So far as the outside world was concerned, it was a complete case of suspension animation. Of all that passed around him he was only dimly conscious. The faces of his fellow creatures were strange to him. He had lost touch with the world, and the light of his reason was flickering; almost it seemed as though it would go out indeed, and leave him groping in the chaos of insanity. Mechanically he rose late in the morning, ate what was brought to him, or ordered what was suggested. All day long he sat in a sort, of dreamless apathy, living still the life of the five-and-twenty years, of imprisonment, and finding no change, save that the chair in which he sat was softer, and the fire over which he stretched his withered palms was a new experience to him. There were things even which he missed in the freedom—freedom it could be called. He missed the warm dancing sunlight which, day by day, had filled the shabby sitting-room of his confinement. He missed the depth of deep blue sky seen through his high barred window, and the fragrant scent of the world which, day by day, had floated through it. He missed the kindly greeting of his pitying gajoler, and the simple food—the macaroni, the black coffee, and the fruit—which had been served to him; and above all, there was something else which he missed.

Although he gained his international reputation as the "Sea Devil" by single-handed twenty-five ships within twenty-four months during the world war. Count Von Luckner is more enthusiastic about studying the American commercial structure than in continuing his exploits on the sea, he stated recently when he and the Countess Von Luckner were guests of Genius AUTOCLASSER Yehudi Menuhin, New York, world famous 12 year old master of the violin, with the $60,000 Sradivarius violin presented to him by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Goldman, admirers. --- This Is Your Last Chance.
