Gruesome Tragedy at No. 405 East Clay Street. Mrs. Jennie Miller Adams Makes Statement--A Gas Filled Room--Married Female--Two Unmarried Males--Man Rented Room at the Apartment. (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) "The Wages of Sin Is Death" The third floor of the handsome brick structure, 405 East Clay Street, was the scene of two grim tragedies Saturday morning, February 23, 1926, and one new grim tragedy. Two men were found dead and one woman nearly dead from gas poisoning in a hall room about 7 by 9 feet on the side overlooking Clay Street. For some time it was difficult to find out their names. I called there and found Emmett Fields occupying the first floor with his wife. He said: "I heard much noise as if some one was moving in here. It was about 2 o'clock in the morning and I said to my wife, 'Somebody must be moving in. running from the sheriff.' They went upstairs and I went on to sleep. Visited the Scene 'The next morning I learned that two men and a woman were found upstairs on the third floor overcome by gas. I did not know them.' I went to the second floor. No one responded to the knock. Then I went up to the next floor and found the hall room door open. In there was a single bed. On the right was a gas jet with an independent connection. It was the turning on of this jet that caused the flow of gas that killed the two men and nearly killed the woman. Sister Miller Talks I opened the front door door and to my surprise found sitting there Sister Jennie Miller, known as Mrs. Virginia Miller Adams. She explained that she had recently returned to the city from Philadelphia, where she had gone to live with her son, but those conditions up there did not suit her. They did not know enough about God and they did not attend church, so she made them send her back home. Her daughter, Mrs. Fields, lived on the first floor, and she had packed all of her bedroom, parlor and kitchen furniture in that one room until she could secure a house or a flat in which she could live and serve her God. Did Not Know Them I had known her as a great "prayer meeting sister." She frequently attended Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church, although she was not a member there. But to my story: She said that before day Friday morning she heard persons go into that hall room, which was next to her room and between which there was a locked door. There seemed to be two or more men. She did not know the young man that rented the room. She heard them carrying on there, but she decided to attend to her own business. She thought she heard some of them go out. Smelled Gas Later she smelled gas and she got up, opened the transom over her door and pulled down her front window and went back to bed. Then she continued to hear groans. Finally she told others and called to them, telling them that she believed the people were dead in there. It was suggested to send for the police. The door was not locked, and it was later found that one of the bodies was on the floor and prevented one from entering. The officers came and forced their way in there. A Gruesome Scene Then a gruesome scene met their gaze. One man and the woman were Speakers at Banquet held at Poro College, St. Louis, honoring S. W.

Both of the men were undressed and the woman was practically nude, having on but one piece of wear. The dead bodies were removed and the woman carried to St. Philip's Hospital. Later it was ascertained that one of the men, the tenant, was Edward Nicholas, who was a barber at the Globe barber shop, and he was a resident of Rocky Mount, N. C. MR. JONES REPLIES TO PRINCIPAL WINGO. Editor of The Richmond Planet: Sir—There is more than local significance to the article of Principal Wingo in the Times Dispatch of February 9th. I make no mistake when I say the belief is widespread that the entire country is suffering from a wave of crime. The question of crime, then, is of the greatest importance. That the welfare and security of human life in city state number are Negroes, "Go, ye, tell that fox." out of 1425合 in the road camps of this nearly two-thirds are Negroes, that fox." there are 450 prisoner Richmond's City Jail, 110 with 340 blacks, and that Negroes situate one-third of the populace and commit more than twothirds the crime. "Tell that fox" since electric chair was installed at Virginia State Penitentiary that 17 white men have been traced to 121 Negroes. "Tell Rev. Hargrave Knew Him Rev. N. S. Hargrave, of Parma- lee, N. C., identified him as a former student of his and gave him a fine reputation during the time he was going to school to him. The other dead man was named Sandy Young and was a resident of Wake Forest, N. C. Funeral Director A. D. Price took charge of the bodies and they were shipped to their respective homes. Coroner James M. Whitfield stated that no whisky was found in the room and no evidence that they had drunk any. Whether or not in the death agony they had disrobed is not known. A Married Woman The woman was identified as being Mrs. Lillie Smith, of 1109 Catherine Street. She lives with her husband. This makes a queer situation, and as she was still unconscious at this writing, no information is obtainable as to how this peculiar condition came about in the thickly populated part of Clay Street between Fourth and Fifth Streets. As for Sister Jennie Miller, her sight in pulling down her windows and opening the transom may have been the reason why she is alive to Can Stand More In talking to Coroner Whitfield as to how the woman should have survived under such condition, he said that it was his experience that women can stand more gas than men and they require less air. He cited a similar case where the man died and the woman lived.

Johnson preached an impressive sermon at the Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday morning. MR. JONES REPLIES TO PRINCIPAL WINGO. Editor or The Richmond Planet: Sir—There is more than local s guilfence to the article of Principal Wingo in the Times Dispatch of February 9th. I make no mistake when I say the belief is widespread that the entire country is suffering from a wave of crime. The question of crime, then, is of the greatest importance. That the welfare and security of human life in city, state and nation depends very largely upon law and its rigid enforcement cannot be gainsaid. It is imperative that the red-handed criminal be restrained by law; that foes of社 ity, white and black must be reformed or punished. . . . On the front page of every news paper in this country crime and criminals are given a very conspicuous place. The front page of Negro Weeklies is given over almost entirely to crime news at the expense or exclusion of the higher things of racial life. Murder, Murder, Murder is embellished in the largest letters. Not only is that true, but the record of Police Court trials and the sickening details of testimony given by Negro witnesses, which white news papers refuse to publish, are recorded unstinted space in Negro Journals. Yet in the face of these facts Principal Wingo says: "We generally find what we are looking for." We don't have to look for scandals and crime news, they are recorded on the front page of the public press and written in magazine articles. We cannot escape them if we would, yet if I mention crime and criminals. I am denounced as a traitor to my race. Facts are stubborn things to controvert. In a recent article I had occasion to say, "A large number of peaceful white citizens would live safer and more enjoyable lives if a few more Negro hold-up men were in the penitentiary is another fact." Principal Wingo in his rage beat all around the bush and said many things of which he knows absolutely nothing, but did he or can he refute that fact? Again my opponent accused me of saving, "most of our group have a tendency to crime." I made no such statement and reference to my article of January 24th in Times Dispatch will prove it. But in order to score a petty point my foxy critic put those words in my mouth. Now let public records speak for themselves. In the language of Luke 13:32. The Master said "Go we and tell that fox" there are 763 convicts confined in the Virginia State Penitentiary. More than half of that number are Negroes. "Go, ye, and tell that fox," out of 1425 convicts in the road camps of this state, nearly two-thirds are Negroes. "Tell that fox," there are 450 prisoners in Richmond's City Jail. 110 whites, 340 blacks, and that Negroes constitute one-third of the population and commit two-thirds of the crime. "Tell that fox," since the electric chair was installed at the Virgin's State Penitentiary 1908 that 17 white men have been electrocuted to 121 Negroes. "Tell that fox" I did not compile these figures and if they lie, then public records lie. Be that as it may, they form a picture of a very crude and criminal Negro civilization. If the truth is conveyed in the above figures what is to be done to correct this vile condition? Before an intelligent answer can be given the underlying causes must be ascertained and studied. The agencies that work evil and wrong must be located and their-baneful influences counteracted. The malady must not only be diagnosed but a saving remedy prescribed. We must not stop at finding the poison, we must find also the antidote. This is the Negro's problem to solve and not the white man's. No matter what the hindering causes no matter what the obstacles the Negro must strive to win and to live an approved life; to live it more abundantly and he will obtain better results. THEODORE W.

Price, funeral director, was painfully injured in a fracas which took place in front of his place of business, 700 North Seventeenth Street. As a result his left eye was injured and he was in bed when the case was called in the Police Court last Saturday morning. It seems that he was engaged in a game with R. M. Matthews, white, of Martinsville, Va. He claims to have had $45.00 in the pocket of his coat, which was in his place as the game proceeded. He charged James S. Prue with having stolen this money. This led to Price's securing a gun and forcing the return of a part of the money. He claimed that Prue had passed some of it to others. He got back $25.00, he says, and then part of this was snatched from him. On the Police Court docket James Prue and Charles White were charged with assaulting and wounding W. A. Price. James Prue was charged with stealing $45.00 from W. A. Price. W. A. Price was charged with feloniously and with threats obtaining $25.00 from the person W. A. Matthews. W. A. Matthews, Harvey Brown and Andrew Haskins were charged with stealing, taking and carrying away $45.00, the property of W. A. Price.

SATURDAY.....MARCH 2, 1929 Colored people have gotten as bad as the white folks, they keep divided. There is one great failing—they all want to be leaders. Marcus Garvey's notion that Africa is the home of the black man is being dissipated. The white folks in South Africa have recently denied suffrage to native Africans. Can you beat it? Liberia is enjoying prosperity and it is reported that they are practicing the white folks methods in enjoying it. While the Firestone deal was and is open to question, in view of the situation there seems nothing else for President King to have done Jack Sharkey of Boston won the referee's decision in the fast ten round bout with W. L. Stribbling of Georgia. The score was 6 for Sharkey, 3 for Stribbling with one round even. The young Georgian although uninjured was quite bloody at the end of the contest. Jack Johnson has recently been given his proper place in the pugilistic world by an announcement made in New York and it seems that his past escapades are being forgotten or at least overlooked. It will be a long time before another Negro will be given the opportunity that was vouchsafed him. The passage by the Richmond City Council of the segregation ordinance and its approval by the Mayor make certain a legal controversy upon a question which most of us believe has been already settled by the Supreme Court or the United States. It is whether or not a property owner can be legally forbidden to occupy his own residence when no restrictions exist in either the deed of conveyance or by any act on his own part surrendering his property rights in this particular. All that is needed, so far as we can see, is to bring this question to the attention of the Supreme Court of the United States or to its subsidiary agents to see whether or not the fundamental principles and rulings of that tribunal have been violated and disobeyed. THE NEW PRESIDENT Hon. Herbert Hoover will be duly inaugurated President of the United States at Washington next Monday, and President Calvin Coolidge will pass out of the limelight as the guiding genius of this republic. In view of Mr. Hoover's surprising majority, both in the electoral college and in the matter of the popular vote, his task will be a difficult one, even should he make up his mind to be just and exact and follow the dictates of his own conscience. Recent events in the naming of his cabinet would seem to indicate that the politicians have been in close touch with a view to profiting by the recent victory and to make combinations to insure the solidarity of the various organizations, parties and individuals who were first and foremost in landing him in the White House of the nation. The elimination of Hon. William J. Donovan, of Buffalo, N. Y., as a member of the Hoover cabinet and his curt refusal to accept any office under the incoming administration would indicate the "drys" and the "anti-Catholics" have had their way. Both were bitter and determined in their opposition to the recognition of this skilful politician and great leader. It is now mildly hinted that Mr. Donovan was the "power behind the throne" in Attorney General John W. Sargent's office. Be that as it may, Hon. Herbert Hoover is a master in the matter of organization and a poyer in seeing that his wishes are respected and carried out. Governor Alfred E. Smith will control the Democratic party for the next four years and the distinguished statesman from California will have a "strangle-hold" upon the Republican party for the same length of time. CLARA ROMA SCORES AT LEESBURG, VA. Rev. J. N. Yearwood, pastor of the Leesburg M. E. Church, who has been so successful in his ministry there succeeded in his effort with Clara Roma, Lyric Soprano of Washington D. C. The sacred concert took place February 24, 3 P.

Plaster, Lloyd Slack, Dr. H. C. Littlejohn and others. GRAVEL HILL NOTES Pastor Tuck preached at Gravel Hill Baptist Church last Sunday morning from Phil. 1:23. It was a powerful message. He also admin istered unto us the Lord's Supper. The testimonies coming up from those who testified were real enjoyable. At S P. M. Rev. R H. Rooks preached for the choir. He took his text from Rev. 1:18. J. M. Anderson, Reporter. ANNUAL MEETING. Richmond, Va., Feb. 23, 1929. The thirteenth annual meeting of the Veteran Officers' Association of Virginia was held on Friday, February 22nd, at 200 East Clay Street, Richmond, Va. These officers were members of the Virginia State Militia and of the Sixth Virginia Regiment U. S. Volunteers during the Spanish-American war. The following were present: Major Wm. H. Johnson, president; Captain E. W. Gould, of Norfolk, vice-president; Captain W. H. Anderson, secretary-treasurer; Lieutenant John K. Rice, of Petersburg; J. M. Collins, Samuel L. Tucker, of Norfolk; J. St. J. Gilpin, A. L. Morton, W. H. Walton, L. McLeod Taylor, and others of Richmond. The welcome address was delivered by Lieutenant A. L. Morton in a most pleasing and eloquent manner, which was responded to by the president and others. After hearing the report of the secretary-treasurer, it was decided to hold a memorial meeting of all the deceased comrades of Norfolk in that city sometime during the year, the date to be fixed by the committee of that city who are now present. It was found out that one hundred and nineteen had died since the organization of the State militia, and a like memorial will be held for the officers of each city in which they meet from time to time. The following wore glove for the next ensuing term: Majo, Vir. H. Johnson, Petersburg, president; Captain E. W. Gould, of Norfolk, vice-president; W. W. Anderson, Richmond, secretary-treasurer. They adjourned to meet in Norfolk February 22, 1930. After all business had been completed, "steps" was sounded in memory of our deprived comrades. They then retired and partook of a bountiful repart. W. H. ANDERSON. RISING MT. ZION Sunday was a busy day at Zion. The pastor preached a soul-stirring sermon at 11:30 A. M. to a full audience. At 3 o'clock P. M. a program was rendered by the women, sponsored by Mrs. Mary Pittman. The speakers were Miss Tossie P. Whiting, dean of women of Virginia State College, and Mrs. Clara Purrall. At 8 o'clock P. M. a program was presented by the professional and business men of the city, sponsored by Mrs. O. B. Simms. This program was unique in every respect. Among those taking part on the program were Dr. E. E. Bassette, Dr. L. AReid, Dr. Wm. H. Dixon, Dr. J. O.Dawson, Dr. N. Dillard, Mr. J. BDeans, Mr. W. A. Jordon, Mr. C. BGilpin, Mr. W. C.

OURS daily. MRS. CHARLES EBLING Dauberville, Pa. JACK JOHNSON'S OWN STORY OF HIS GREAT FIGHT WITH JIM JEFFRIES AT RENO. JOHNSON HASSERIOUS TROUBLE WITH MANAGER LITTLE AND DISCHARGES HIM FROM CAMP. WRESTLING (Continued from last week) Our lives in training were happy and cheerful. We had good times after some of our initial troubles and disappointments were disposed of, and I suppose that one reason that Little, Langford and others were sold on the idea that I was going to lie down was because I took life easy; I did not worry much, and sought always to extract for myself and others whatever enjoyment life offered. So sure was I that I was going to win over Jeff that I lost no opportunity to urge my friends to bet on me, and one time when Hector McKenzie, who was a member of the Jeffries staff, came over to my camp, I told him that I knew he was a friend to Jeff as well as a friend of mine, and that I did not wish him to lose any money, and that the best thing for him to do, if he did not wish to bet on me, was to keep his money in his pocket. A Governor's Friendship However, I offered to bet him $5,000 that I would win, to indicate to him my certainty of the outcome of the battle. Governor Dickerson visited my training camp often and we came to be excellent friends. Our friendship, it proved, was one that was to endure many years. He has always been staunch and loyal and was one of my closest advisers when I was in prison, where he was superintendent. He took great delight in watching me train. I shall never forget a remark he made one day after watching me spar with Kid Cotton. He said, "I have never seen a man who can whip Jack Johnson as he stands today, and I am forced to bet on him." An Impressive Bout This observation by the governor followed a bout which I had just finished with Kid Cotton, two days before the fight. I did not wish to box Cotton on that occasion, preferring to polish up with Kauffman, who was more of Jeffries' style and manner. Cotton, however, was anxious to be seen in action that day, because a notable crowd was watching us. The kid was unusually active and aggressive, and he butted me on the lower lip with his head which caused me to bleed—something that had never happened to me in boxing. Cotton seemed to be trying to make a grandstand showing, so I gave him his chance. Beat Him Severely For five rounds I beat him severely, and in the sixth round he went down and out. He never was the same Cotton after that. He did not regain his senses until late that afternoon, and once he broke away from those who were caring for him and jumped into an irrigation ditch of water, and in which he would have drowned had not Fury and some other boy putted him out. Noting that my lip was bleeding so it was, Governor Clinton tended to get me to cease training for that one, not knowing what was in store for me in the next two days, he found it would not be a good thing for me. Drew Blood The out caused by Cotton started to blood when Jell out me, and I was scared for the thought that Jell had drawn blood on me, was a sign, to them CO. Jack Johnson's Golden Smile that he had the best of me, but it was not Jeff's tap which caused the flow of blood. A dispute over a poker hand and a disagreement over a play in a baseball game were trivial causes of the breach in association between George Little and myself. Never once did we have any misunderstanding over the fight, its terms, or any other business affair, as many supposed. It was an unfortunate circumstance, arising as it did in the midst of my training and preceding my meeting with Jeffries in a fight that was to be significant in ring annals. Caused Uneasiness It caused much unesiness on the part of all concerned. It disrupted my camp for a while, and I had I been more temperamental, it might have had serious issues. I might have had serious issues. The card game took place on a train on which we were en route to San Francisco, preparatory to my training. There were three of us in the game, Little, Sighart and myself. Little did not like Sighart and often criticised him. I licked both of them and had confidence in each, and often found it necessary to adjust their differences. In the game Little sat between Sighart and me. During one game Little obtained a straight. My hand was no good and I had laid it down. Had Better Hand Sighart had a better hand than Little, but the latter having more money was able to bet so strong that Sighart was forced to quit. The situation nettled him and he was not in a good mood, feeling as he did that Little was deliberately trying to make things unpleasant. I decided I needed the following and Sighart opened the pot; Little raised and I staved; Sighart raised THE RICHMOND PLANFT, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Little, who again boosted; the pot was raised fifteen or twenty times before the draw, the tussle being between Sighart and Little; I being content merely to stay. Charged Crookedness Little had three kings to start with; Sighart had four jacks, and I although I did no betting, had four aces. Sighart drew one card, Little two and I stood pat. Both thought that I had a straight. Little thought that Sighart had tried to fill a flush or straight; he himself drew his fourth king, and was sure he had myself heat. He raised the bets of Sighart and myself many times. The latter hated to lay down his four jacks, but began to figure that Little had him beat. He accused him of trickery and a hot argument ensued. Remained Silent With the betting, the accusations and quarrelling it was more than two hours before the showdown, an unusually long time for deciding the merits of a poker hand. In the quarrel that had taken place each had accused the other of doing funny things with the deck. I had remained silent throughout the whole proceeding; neither Little nor Sigart had figured me in the game, so when I won the pot, which contained about $1,500. Little became more enraged than ever and accused Sigart of manipulating the cards so as to give me my four aces. Of course, I had done nothing of the sort, but nothing which either Sigart or I could say would convince him that the deal was square. Remained Out A little later Little and I clashed again, Sigart having remained out of the pot. When, after considerable raising, I beat Little, he threw the cards down, declaring again that Sigart, who had dealt me the winning hand, was crooked and vowed that he would "get even." A few days afterwards I hurt my back while training at Seal Rock, and was compelled to take up light exercise. We organized two baseball teams composed of the men in my camp. I was captain of one and Little of the other. Sigart was playing on my team and during a game one morning Little and Sigart got into a row over a play at third base. Separated Him They had come to blows when I stepped in and separated them. After that Little declared that Sigwart would have to go. I told him that he would not—that I would keep him. For a week or more we wrangled over Sigwart. Things were in a turmoil and, added to the difficulties occasioned by the Governor's action in preventing the fight, my training was not proceeding pleasantly or satisfactorily. I told Little that if any one went it would be he and not Sigwart. This was like throwing kerosene on a blaze. Little became vicious and accused me of intending to lie down to Jeffries.

(Written exclusively for the Richmond Times Dispatch and the North American Newspaper Alliance) Jim Jeffries was not actually knocked down and out by Jack Johnson. In fact, as referee I did not count h m 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. 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.

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 pincing in a big grin, "ain't no use in talking, dis is one time you'se met yo' Waterloo! Jes' go an' tell 'em I 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 I was a big winner. ```markdown ``` Hints for the Home by Nancy Hart In the tiny hallway the corner cupboard with open upper shelves or shelves closed in by glass or mirror doors often proves a most convenient and decorative piece.

The upper space can be used for more decorative things—bright bits of pottery; a few curios; a gay little box to hold keys and matches to be caught up at the last moment.

Physical Well-Being Requires Care The two sacraments in the Christian Church are named in the title. The dictionary denes "sacrament" as an outward and visible sign of an award and spiritual grace, instituted by Jesus Christ. To the Roman soldier the word meant an oath or pledge, that was taken especially when about to go for war or on a mission for his country. The Scripture portions, aside from those named above, for intimate study are Matthew 3:13-17; Acts 2:38-41; Romans 6:1-14. Then it is recommended that you turn to each word in both a general and Bible dictionary. Baptism is introduced by John the Baptist during his preaching in the wilderness. He taught that people who became penitent because of their sins and purposed to live a different life should give public testimony thereto as they received the rite of Baptism, which would signify this inward working of grace. The Old Testament has many references to the use of water in symbolic cleansing. Jesus, coming from Naareth, sought this Baptism, not that He had committed any sin, but that He might thus formally take our law place before Jehovah. When The Risen Lord gave His great commission He instructed the apostles, and their followers, to go everywhere, proclaim repentance from sin through the Crucified One and then direct the converts to register the consciousness of the change of heart and their purpose after new obedience in this rite of Baptism. The Lord's Supper was instituted just after the observance of the Jewish Passover in the upper room in Jerusalem. Unleavened bread was used as a symbol and also the cup, concerning which He said in invitation, "Drink ye all of it." The rich meaning is set forth by Paul in the passage from I Corinthians. This Scripture is used by every Christian minister as he celebrates this Sacrament. The symbolism brings to mind the body and blood of Jesus Christ, which were given in sacrifice on the cross. The minister will break a piece of the bread and pour the grape juice during the service. Prayer is offered repeatedly, and particularly in setting these elements apart for this holy use. A very helpful book to give to any first communicant is "Coming to the Communion," by Rev. Charles R. Edrman, D.D. This Memorial Supper has also a promise and links between the Ascension and the Second Advent, which is a truth to be believed by all Christians and not only by those who especially emphasize the Return of our Lord. Another name for this Supper is Eucharist. This means "Giving of thanks." Solentity of course inheres in such a memorial and pledge, but it should also be rich with joy because of the blessings that have been made possible. In the service the believer accepts what has been done for him and likewise pledges renewed and full obedience to his Saviour. Requires Candy as Part of Diet BROOKLYN a MAMA KNOWS WHAT'S GOOD FOR DOLLY CHICAGO — All children require candy. Candy restores heat and energy to small bodies burned out by hard play. Lack of candy in the diet of children is the cause of nutritional disturbances and malnutrition. This is the opinion of Theodore W. Bunte, president of Bunte Brothers, whose candy factory here is the largest in the world. "Candy is an indispensable part of a well balanced diet for children," declared Mr. Bunte. "It can be used as a dessert to make of less wholesome sweets. A little candy in between meals is helpful because it revives the child's body fatigued by perpetual motor. Permit me give pure candy --- 1. --- SIX sugar, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper. Chop cabbage fine, cook dressing until thick, then pour over cabbage while hot.

Ham Croquettes Carrot Pudding THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Heart Heart TALK BY JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, MD CHANGING This is an era of changes. And we relish them to the point of hearty welcome in most instances. Those who do not change once in awhile gradually drift into that lethargic state of mind which we call a rut—and everybody resents that. The same suit of clothes worn for too long a time grows tiresome to our neighbors, if not to ourselves, though the garments are by no means worn out. People relish contrasts, especially when the change is for the brighter, the newer, the more attractive and this applies to our reading matter. I think, fairly as much as more physical appearances. So the readers of this paper will notice our abandonment of things and words with the medical ang. Ever alert for the best at his disposal, our editor believes that an inspirational diet will be relished for awhile; he believes, and I agree with him, that the mind should be refreshed as well as the body; so it is with no little satisfaction that I take up the pleasant duty to which I am assigned. There has never been a time when the thinkers of our beloved country have been sought with such positive energy. We are interested in everything good; the bad forces itself upon us, whether we will or no. "Prove all things; hold fast to that which is good." I don't know of any better advice than that. I heartily wish I could near all of the comments that may be aroused by the things I shall try to say to you, dear friends, during the next year. Maybe some of you will differ with me, and some of my personal friends may even clip out something of mine—and put it in the scrap-book; I shall dream that way, at any rate. And I fully appreciate the honor of taking the place of a beloved writer who has lately been called to the higher sphere. May I hope that there is just a little corner somewhere in your heart for me to craep into and be happy. Milady's Beauty Secrets By Helena Rubinstem Her lips are like two budded roses.

The lips themselves will not grow old if they are kept soft and pliable through constant lubrication. Last of all we come to making up the mouth. I know of possibly a Either white or pink lip pomade will keep the flesh soft and even, and prevent chapping, as well. The ageing of the mouth, however, shows in line rather than in texture. A loss of elasticity in the muscles of the face is likely to develop pockets at the corners of the mouth. There is no mistaking this unbeautiful sign of the years, but, like everything else, it is far easier to prevent than to correct. If we more than the tendency is established, to massage the mouth from the center of the chin upward, using gentle rotary movements with the custard cream, a nourishing cream is applied, will help to correct this condition and prevent it. The parentheses around your mouth—and most women over twenty-five show them—must be counteracted through the same methods.

Keeping house has become one of the big industries in the world. When our great grandmothers fouled as housekeepers in the latter half of the last century, they believed a certain virtue accompanied hard work. Drudgery was something women were divinely ordained to endure. But times have changed. No longer is the old motto "Blessed be Drudgery" seen hanging on the wall. The modern housewife is developing her mind instead of her muscle. She is letting the new labor-saving devices work for her. She is learning more costly than machines. The turning of a switch brings more satisfaction, economy and strength than fifty brawny arms. "Water, soap and elbow grease, all to the tune of the old wooden washboard, are as passe today in the modern home laundry as the back-splitting water pump outside the kitchen door," says S. H. Altorfer, head of the A-B-C electric washing machine manufactory at Peoria, Ill. "These antiquated laundry methods are extravagant from the standpoint of wear and tear on the clothes as well as on the nerves and vitality of the human body. "Economy of time, too, is important to today's housewife who has so many outside interests but whose home duties are paramount. Aside from the purifying effect of drying the clothes in the sunlight and open balsam astringent is an excellent precaution. The muscles will not tag if they are encouraged to firmness by either the lactee or a mild astringent jelly—this last provided the relaxation is not too noticeable. Last of all we come to make up the mouth. I know of possibly a half dozen women in my whole experience who could not be improved by a little touching or touching the mouth. Many manage especially the mature form, feel that lip makeup is too artificial and too extreme to become them. I grant you that some makeup is dreadful; but I also consent that it is just as dreadful for sixteen as it would be for sixty. Your mouth should be most carefully polished. Should you be the woman in the thousand who can "give away" it very highly colored skin, be interesting. If this be your type and you cannot accept it to guess about it, you should be male and vise lips the one bright spot of contrasting color in your face.

The mammoth two-year-old champion, bred and raised by B. H. Bollinger of Chapman, Kansas, attracted wide attention at the great annual cattle-judging contest in the arena, where thousands of cattle were inspected by a group of the nation's most expert judges and visitors who assembled from all over the west and middle west for the event. On the auction day, the cattle were sold to Montgomery Ward & Co. for $1.18 a pound, on the hoof, more than twice the price brought by last year's champion. The annual stock show in Denver is one of the largest of its kind in the world. The finest cattle, of every breed, from all over the United States are shown in carloads judged by experts in each class and sold on the auction block. More than 150 carloads of pure-bred cattle were judged in the Denver show this year. Most of the prize-winning cattle were withdrawn, but some were Shorthorses, and a few bleaks.

If Americans would drink as much tea as the English, the Scotch, the Aus- landers, and their Canadian cousins, the American women would not have to go on starvation diets in an attempt to reduce it. American housewives, however, understand the brewing of a perfect cup of tea which is in itself a fine art. Here is my own recipe. Brine fresh, cold water to a furious boll. Use a heaping teaspoon of tea for every cup and add an extra spoonful for the pot. Place the tea in an earthenware pot which has been hearted by rinsing with boiling water.

Those that pity themselves because their health is "not quite what it ought to be" may consider Baron von Huenefeld, who died on the operating table, unergoing his thirteenth operation for an incurable disease of the stomach that had afflicted him for years. Suffering hopelessly, knowing that he could not live long and must endure many operations, von Huenefeld planned and carried out the German-Irish flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

This young American's history makes millions of others feel as Caesar did when he read the life of Alexander the Great and suddenly burst into tears, realizing that Alexander had conquered the world when he was younger than Caesar was then. "Herbert Hoover may find important aviation work for Lindbergh." Nothing more probable. An engineer knows that somebody who knows how to do what you want done is valuable. Mr. Hoover understands the engineering part of flying and all its importance, from mail carrying to national defense. Colonel Lindbergh understands the living part. A fine combination. By Farmer Smith The Rabbitville school bell stopped ringing on February 21st and Miss Rabbit, the teacher, arose from her seat and said "Today we will have a short session and celebrate Washington's Birthday. Bobbie Rabbit, you may come to the board." Bobbie did as he was told and then looked at his teacher. ```markdown ``` THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page Homespips Man Mrs. Agnes Michael of Chicago was charged with horsehipping Max Steinbotn, a pedler. She said Steinborn was abusing his horse when she snatched the whip from him and gave him a sound lacing. Lady de Bathe, formerly Lily Langtry, the famous actress and internationally known beauty, passed away at Monte Carlo. --- "Please write 'cat.' Bobbie wrote CAT. "Pretty good," said Miss Rabbit. "Pretty good nothing—its PER-FECT!" snapped Bobbie. "That's correct, my dear, you must stand up for what you know is right in this world." Finally Miss Rabbit rang the bell. "We will have our George Washington hour," she said. "Theophilus Rabbit, you may come up and say a few words about George Washington." Theophilus started to go on the platform. Suddenly he slipped and fell sprawling on the floor. All the Rabbits began to titter. "My dear children," began Miss Rabbit. "this should be a lesson for you all. George Washington laughed at difficulties as people laughed at him. When he fell down, he got up and kept on going. Come, Theophilus, and let's hear what you have to say." The Rabbit began: "When George Washington wanted to make the flag of the United States of America he went to Betsy Ross and asked her to help him. He said we should have a six pointed star on our flag, but she said we could make a five pointed star with one cut of the scissors." There was a loud clapping as the speaker stepped from the platform. "Of course you know, dear children," said Miss Rabbit, "that the stars and blue on our flag come from the stars in a beautiful heaven, and the bars from the beautiful rainbow is indeed a wonderful and very beautiful flag. Can any one tell us more about it?" "It has never been defeated!" said Billie Rabbit. "Fine!" exclaimed Miss Rabbit. PRAYING THE DESPERATE LOVER By E. Phillips Oppenheim ILLUSTRATED BY FRANK B. DRUEV added to our rules of a different clear form and we unintentionally added we all subscribed to—(should have chosen. Was not that Seventh Installment WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE Palermo is the scene. There an exile, Leonardo di Marti, has come for love of Adrienne Cartucci, who spurs his heme. He meets an English girl with Adrienne on lemon. Leonardo sees his sister Margharita, who tells him his love for Adrienne is hope- less, but he pleads with her to farewell between Adrienne and him. She consents. That night the Englishman is intrudes on an amateur being made to serve as Sienna Cartucci, and Margharita, who are walking by brigands employed by a rejected sutton and proves able to rescue the ladies. Ishamed by the failure of his scheme, Leonardo enters the hotel, who shows him a scene that he was instigator of the attempted attack. The Englishman now sees Adrienne the other. The Englishman, sitting in the hotel, sees the Englishman, who sees that he was instigator of the attempted attack. The Englishman now sees Adrienne the other. The Englishman, sitting in the hotel, sees the Englishman, who sees that he was instigator of the attempted attack. The Englishman now sees Adrienne the other. The Englishman, sitting in the hotel, sees the Englishman, who sees that he was instigator of the attempted attack. The Englishman at first refused to accept a challenge to duel, then when the Italian ships him consents to fight the death. Marigartha stops the duel by coming just in the nick of time to save the Englishman from his fate, with two officers who were wounded in a wounds-vengeance. After 25 years in jail he is again at his hotel, an old, broken man with only memories left to him. The prophet, worried about him, advertises for his friends and Leonardo is first visited by the woman he had loved, whom he shoe out of his sight. Then there comes to him a greetings in great surprise. He learns that his sister is dead NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY He sighed, and his tearless eyes looked thoughtfully into the fire. Memories of other days were rising up and passing before him in swift procession. He saw himself and her, orphan brother and sister, wandering hand in hand over their bodies in home, with love blowing in flowers and the spirit of the mountains which towered around them enriched into their hearts. Dear to them had been that home, dear that close and precious companionship. They had talked of the life which lay before them—rose-colored and joyous, pregnant with glorious opportunities and possibilities. For their island and the larger continent close at hand were conceived at the age of 12, the history of which has been written into the history of Europe, and no one desired more ardently to tear a hand in the struggle than young Leonardo di Marioni. Large heated, remarried, and with an insignation easily fired, he was from the first of dreamer, and Margharita has ever been ready to share his dreams. The blood of kings was in their veins; to lead him on to great things; and she, Margharita, his sister, his beloved sister, should be the mistress of his destinies. Thus they had talked, thus they had dreamed, and now from the other side of the gulf he looked backward, and saw in his own life, in the place of those great deeds, to acquaint himself to a miserable man, and in hers, forgetfulness of her high descent—for she had married this English merchant's son—and the grave. Ahl it was sad, very sad! "Child!" he cried, "have you ever heard the story of my seizure and imprisonment? No, you have not. You shall hear it. You shall judge between me and them. Listen! When I was a young man, Italy seemed trembling on the verge of a revolution. The history of it all you know. You know that the country was honeycombed with secret societies, more or less dangerous. To one of these belonged. We called our Order the 'Order of the White Hyacinth.' We were all young, ardent and impetuous, and we imagined ourselves the apostles of the coming liberation. Yet we never advocated bloodshed; we never really transgressed the law. We gave lectures, we published pamphlets. We were a set of boy dreamers with wild ties—communists, most of us. But there was not one who would not have died to save our country the misery of civil war—not one, not one! Even women wore our flower, and were married associates of our Order. We called itives that our aims were fulfilled. So society that ever existed was more hardiness than ours. I哭! I swear I bear me witless, ch my God, if what I say be not true!" He was a strong man again. The sadly was gone; his reason was well. He stood before this dark, tall girl, who, with clasped hands, was drinking in every word, and he spoke with all the swelling dignity of one who has suffered unjustly. "By some means or other our society fell under the suspicion of the government. The edict went forth that we should be broken up. We heard the mandate with indignation. We were young and blood-blothed, and we were conscious that but done we were innocent of the things ascribed to us. We swear that we would carry on our society, but in secret. Before then, everything had been open; we had had a recognized meeting place, the public had attended our lectures, ladies had worn the white hyacinth openly at receptions and now, All now was changed. We met in secret and under a ban. Still one aim was hardness. One clause alone was Count Leonardo di Marioni Telling His Story to His Niece 'Vengeance upon traitors!' We swore it solitely one to the other-Vengeance upon traitors!' "Ah! if I had lived in those days I would have worn your flower at the court of the king" she cried, with glowing checks. He pressed her hand in silence, and continued. "As time went on, and things grew still more unsettled in the country, a species of inquisition was established. The eyes of the law were everywhere. They fell upon us. One night ten of us were arrested as we left our meeting place. We were all noble, and the families of my compassions were powerful. I was looked upon as the Count Leonardo di Marioni Telling ringlender; and upon me fell the most severe sentence. I was banded from Italian soil for ten years, with the solemn warning that death would be my lot if I ventured to return." "It was atrocious." He held up his hand. "Margarita, in those days I loved. Her name was Adrienne. She, too was an orphan, and although she was of noble birth, she was poor, as we Marionis were poor also. She had a great gift; she was a singer; and sooner than be dependent upon her relatives, she had sung at concerts and operas, until all Europe knew of her fame. When I was exiled I was given seven days in which to make my adieux. I went to her, and declared my love. She did not absolutely reject me, nor did she accept me. She asked for time for consideration. I could give her no help! I begged her to leave the country with me. Alas she would not! Perhaps I was too passionate, too precipitate! It may have been so; I cannot say, I went away alone and left her. I plunged into gay life at Paris; I dwelt among the loneliest mountains of Switzerland; I endured the dullness of this cold gray London, and the disposition of Vienna. It was all in vain! One by one they called upon me. No manner of life, no change of scene could cure me of my love. I tell ill, and I knew that my heart was breaking. You and I, Margharita, cope of a race whose love and hatred are eternal!" She crept into his arms; and he went on holding her there. "Back I came at the peril of my life; content to die, if it were only her feet. I found her cold and changed; blaming me even for my rashness, desiring even my absence Not a word of pity to sweeten those weary days of exile; not a word of hope to repay me for all that I had risked to see her again. Soon I knew the reason—another love had stolten away her heart. There was an Englishman visiting her daily at Palermo and she told me calmly one day that she loved him, and intended to be come his wife. She forgot my long years of devoted service; she forgot her own unspoken, yet understood promise; she forgot that I had loved her for that word must sound to me as the death warrant of all joy and happiness in this world. She forge; too, that I was a Maioni! Was I wrong, I wonder, Margharita, that I quarrelled with him! You are a child, and yet my instinct tells me that you have a woman's judgment! Tell me, should I have stepped aside, and let him win her, without a blow?" "You would have been a coward if you had!" she cried. "You fought him. Tell me that you fought him." "Margharita, you are a true daughter of your country" the old man cried. "You are a Marion! Listen! I insulted him! He declined to fight! I struck him across the face in a public restaurant, and forced him to accept my challenge. The thing was arranged. We stood face to face on the sand, sword in hand. The word had been given! His life was at my mercy; but, mind, Margharita, I had no thought of taking it without giving it a fair chance. I intended to wait until my sword was at his heart, and then I would have said to him: "If on the women where I have been, I should have chosen. Was not that fair?" "Fair! It was generous! Go on! Go on!" "The word had been given; our swords were crossed. And at that moment, she, Adrienne, the woman whom I loved, stood before us. With here were Italian police come to arrest me! There was one letter alone on mine, written in a hasty moment, which could have been used in evidence against me at my former trial and which wound have secured for me a harsh sentence. That letter was fallen into her hands; and she has given it over to my bitter enemy, the chief of the Italian police. I was betrayed, betrayed by the woman." Telling His Story to His Niece whom I had braved all dangers to see! It was she who had brought them; she who—without remorse or hesitation—calmly handed me over to twenty-five years' captivity in a prison cell!" Margharita freed herself from his arms. She was very pale, and her limbs were shaking. But what a fire in those dark, cruel eyes. "On on on!" she cried. "Let me hear the rest." "Then, as I stood there, Margharita, love shriveled up, and hate reigned in Ir place. The memory of the earth of our Order flashed into my mind@ A curtain seemed raised before my eyes. I saw the long narrow room of our meeting place. I saw the dark, faithful faces of my comrades. I heard their firm voices—Vengence upon traitors, vengeance upon traitors! She, too, this woman who had betrayed me, had worn our flower upon her bosom and in her half! She had come under the ban of that oath. Margharita, I threw my sword into the sea, and I raised my clapped hands to the sky, and I swore that, were it the last day of my life, the day of my release should see me avenged. Let them hide in the uttermost corners of the earth. I cried, that false worm and her English lad, stupefyed and them should taste vengeance! No my trial I went, with that oath written in my heart. I carried it with me into my prison cell, and day by day and year by year I repeated it to myself. It kept me alive; the desire of it grew into my being. Even now it burns in my heart! During my captivity I was allowed to see my lawyer, and I made over by deed so much, to be paid every year to the funds of our Order at the London Branch, for our headquarters had been moved there after my first arrest. Day by day I dreamed of the time when I should stand, a martyr in their cause, before my old comrades, and demand of them the vengeance which was my due. I imagined then one by one, chasing sympathy with my long sufferings. I heard again the oath which we had sworn "Vengeance in traitors, vengeance upon traitors" it was the music which kept me alive, hope which nourished my life! The dark eyes glowed upon my stars, and her voice trembled was eagerness. "You have been to them? You will be avenged! Tell me that it is so." A little choking sob escaped from him. The numbness was passing from his heart and senses. His scars were becoming human, and de- "Alas, Margherita, she's here with drooping head, the bitterest appointment of my life came upon a fall unawares. While I have been living in prison history has turned into many pages. The age of societies has gone by. The Order of the White Hyacinth is no more." bory of its downward be written.
