THE LATE WILLIAM F. DENNY
(Special by John Mitchell, Jr.)
I attended the funeral of William F. Donny the noted lawyer at the Third St. Bethel A. M. E. Church at 2:30 P. M. Wednesday. One solid mass of humanity thronged that medium-sized edifice. The residence of the family was second door from the church and the casket was borne from this point to the place where the funeral obsequies were to take place. The deceased had been a member of many secret organizations as well as benevolent ones and the members were there to do honor to his memory. Stirring events had taken place in this historic structure and this brought out additional sight-seers. Then too, it had been quietly given out that Rev. James S. Hatcher, D. D., the ex-pastor of the church, who was Denny's bosom friend, would deliver the funeral discourse. The choir of the church was supplemented by members of other choirs and

(Special by John Mitchell, Jr.)
I interviewed Sam Stevenson and Hollis Bright last week as they stood at the barred gate of the pen in the Police Court. Stevenson said:
"My wife had been staying out late several nights before. This time she came in after she had been drinking canned heat and whiskey. She was drunk and we quarreled. She seized an ice pick and got be tween me and the door and attacked me. I went to the bed and got my gun and fired it to scare her. I was surprised when I found I had shot her. She was carried to the hospital and died some time afterwards."
Stevenson lived at 813 12 N. 6th. Street. Hollis Bright who lives at 413 12 W. Baker Street said:
"I heard a noise at my back door before day that morning. It sounded
this added to the interest. As the organ responded under the delicate touch of Madame Fanny Payne Walker, the choir with surplices of white entered, followed by Rev. W. E. Sprautley, the pastor, who recited the funeral ceremony as he advanced, with Rev. Dr. James S. Hatcher on his right.
Three in the group were Rev. W. W. Johnson, D. D., Rev. A. A. Horton, Rev. J. E. Carrier, Rev. A. S. Thomas, D. D., Stewart E. J. Johnson, Rev. C. C. Boone, M. D., D. D, Rev. G. W. Gaines, D. D, Rev. D. B. Roscoe, Rev. E. G. Johnson, Rev. S. C. Burke, D. L., Rev. N. S. Grave, Rev. J. W. Meckhna, J. S. Collins, L. C. Brown, Rev. W. E. Sprautley was master of ceremonies and right well did he perform the duties.
A solo was sung by Director Joseph Matthews, and the melody deeply impressed all present.
The first Scripture lesson from Psalm XC was read by Rev. M. K. Payne, the second from Cor. 15th chapter by Rev. G. C. Carter. The hymn was lined by Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson. Prayer was offered by Rev. D. B. Roscoe. The casket was surrounded by a profusion of floral designs. Rev. A. A. Hector read the names of those sending resolutions and letters of condolence, the one from the trustees of the 3rd St. Bethel A. M. E. Church being read in full. Remarks were made by Stewart B. J. Johnson. Rev. B. Johnson after statering that the friendship exists between Rev. Dr. Hatcher and the deceased was closely akin to that of Jonathan and David, proceeded to introduce the divine.
Rev. Hatcher had selected several texts from which to speak, to-wit, Songs of Solomon, 5:16. "This is my beloved, and this is my friend"; John 11:11. "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth." Psalm 147. "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." I Thessalonians, 4:13. "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that they sorrow

like some one was trying to break in. I told my mother about it. I got my gun and opened the door; called as to who was there and fired. It was found out that George Fountain had been shot and killed."
This coded his statement. The police officers subsequently found whiskey in a bottle under a plank on the back porch. The theory of the detectives is that Fountain went there to steal the whiskey and Hollis Bright, who is a "bootleger" shot him before he could take the whiskey away.
Henry Stokes Willis age 9 years said: "I live across the street, 416 W. Baker Street. It is across the street from this house. I saw two running out of the alley at 415 W. Baker Street. It was Hollis and the other man. I saw the man who shot run up to another alley. The other man ran up to the corner and fell down. I did not see the shot but I heard the shot "
Hugh Clark testified: "I live at 903 Boone Street. I work at Sittering, Carmel and Davis. George Fountain told him that he was going over across the street to see if he could find some whiskey."

SCARED TO DEATH
A raid was made upon the Sixth Virginia Club, near the corner of First and Duval Streets, and an officer said to Joseph Gregory that he would arrest him. Gregory collapsed, and was hit once the subject for an undertaker. "Scared to death", was the remarks of Coroner James M. Whitfield after he had made the simple announcement of the facts on the death certificate. The deceased was well known in the ward. No whiskey was reported found at the Sixth Virginia Club, although the raid had cost a human life.

EASTER PROGRAM AT FIRST
BAPTIST S. S.
14th and Broad
The First Baptist Sunday School has prepared a beautiful Easter cantata to present to the school and the public Sunday morning, March 31, at 9:30 A.M. M.
The superintendent, Mr. J. C. Robertsen, and his large corps of officers and teachers very cordially invite the public to be present. A wonderful hour is in store for those who attend.
The school will also worship with the church at the 11 o'clock hour. The choir, including Mr. Nannie O. Cobb, will sing "The Dawn of Easter." This is a Easter cantata of wonderful character. The pastor, Dr. W. T. Johnson, D. D. will preach.
At night at the 8 o'clock hour, the pastor will speak on "The Positive Qualities Needed in Christian Character Building." The choir will repeat the cantata, "The Dawn of Easter" at the night service. All are welcome to these three great services.
Sunday School convened at the usual hour at Gravel Hill Baptist Church. At 11:30 Pastor Tuck preached a soul stirring sermon from Acts 20:22. Every one enjoyed the sermon. Holy Commission was administered. The testimonies coming from those who testified were a source of enjoyment for all. A number of visitors were present.
Deacon Scott Haskins and Slater, Ida Scott have been added to the sick list. Other sick are slowly improving. Pray for us.
Washington, March 26.—Acting as titular leader of his party and with the prestige of having shattered the Solid South, President Hoover today warned Southern Republicans that, to be recognized in party and patronage matters by the Federal Administration, they must reorganize and select respectable committeemen.
The President declared that the welfare of the nation called for the breaking down of sectional lines, the creation of two-party representation and the building up of political organization in the South by the people themselves.
In stating his views in response to questions at today's press conference, President Hoover took the most important political step in a generation, in the opinion of Republican leaders, who predict the use of a powerful Republican party in several Southern States, especially in those swept by Mr. Hoover in the election.
Stresses Local Self-Government.
"It has been the aspiration of Republican Presidents over many years to build up sound Republican organizations in the Southern States of such character as would command itself to the citizens of those states," President Hoover said.
Mr. Warner Carlson Jr., 1705 W. Leigh St., left the city Tuesday for Duke, Texas, to join New Benton's Orchestra.
Ebenezer Baptist Church will celebrate Emancipation Day with appropriate exercises Wednesday night at 8:30 o'clock. Dr. William H. Stokes will be the principal speaker
Mrs. Virginia Miller Adams known as Sister Jenny Miller wishes it known that she has not left the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church. She joined the church under Rev. John Jasper when it was on the island and she has been a member ever since. Only death can separate her from the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church.
The Easter Program of the Junior Epworth League will be rendered by the Junior Epworth League Sunday 3 P. M. at the Leigh Street M. E. Church.
IN MEMORIAM
ELDRIDGE—In loving memory of our dear daughter and sister, Elizabeth Beatrice Eldridge, who died March 28, 1915:
Peaceful be thy rest, dear daughter,
It is sweet to breathe thy name.
In life we loved you dearly.
In death we do the same.
Fourteen years have passed since that sad day.
The one we loved was called away.
God took her home it was His will.
But in our hearts we love her still.
—Mother, Father, Sister and Brothers.
EBENEZER'S CHOIR TO PRESENT EASTER CANTATA.
The famous Ebenezer Baptist Church Choir will render its usual Easter Program in the Church and torium corner Judah and Leigh, Easter Sunday at eight o'clock P. M., at which time they will sing The Resurrection.
This is a new cantata and exceedingly wonderful in its musical values. To avoid the usual crowd, the public is requested to be on time.
Prof. Rayford W. Logan will be the speaker at the Emancipation Exercises under auspices of the Fulton Welfare League at the Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church Sunday night. An appropriate program has been prepared.
Rev. J. W. Barco, of the faculty of Virginia Union University will deliver the Easter messages at the Fifth Street Baptist Church Sunday. The choir under Director Joseph Matthews will render Easter music at morning and night services.
Rev. W. A. Nowling B. Dr. of Unitown, Pa., preached at the Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday. His messages were scholarly, dynamic and enlightenable. He served communion in the afternoon.

into St. Petersburg where the sun shines every day without fall, for the healing ministrations of Old Sol, at a time of the year when living conditions and prices are far below those of the winter months.
Babe Ruth, famous home run king, is a firm believer in sun bathing and gives over a part of each day during his annual stay here to the treatments. He was induced to take up the health building fad by his "boss, Miller Huggins, manager of the world champion New York Yankee baseball team, who has had a private solararium constructed on the roof of a local hotel for his use and the private use of friends.
Sun bathing is known to relieve and cure many ailments and the result is that 58. Petersburg's marvelous all year around climate is attracting hundreds of health seekers in the summer and early fall months who have greatly benefited by the violet baths.

SATURDAY ... MARCH 30 1929
Death is just over the hill for all
of us but few of us realize it.
We may not get to Heaven, but there is nothing to prevent our believing that we are going there.
Some people will pay you what they owe you, if they have the money. Some others will not pay you even though they have the money.
It takes ten times as much effort to earn a dollar outside of Government employment than it formerly did. Some people $d_0$ not seem to realize it.
Some people may not have been born lazy, but they certainly got inoculated with that serum after they got into this world.
The present generation in this country seems to be suffering from a deterioration of the species. This applies to both white and colored people. The average person is inordinately selfish, living for himself the creature of his or her appetite, the victim of lascivious pleasures.
PRESIDENT HOOVER'S ANNOUNCEMENT.
There is no longer any doubt but what Hon. Herbert Hoover, of California belongs to no political party, that he is bound by no political obligations and that he has entered the White House of the nation to exercise a free hand and to treat with the situation just as though he ran upon a personal platform and had been named as a presidential nominee by the spontaneous demand of all the people.
How else are we to regard his recent announcements in dealing with the local conditions in the States of South Carolina Georgia and Mississippi? He has overturned and set as de the mandates of the Republican National Convention
He has become obsessed with the idea that those Democrats, who revolted against the elevation of a Roman Catholic and a "wet" to the Presidency of these United States, would remain outside of the Democratic organization when this danger was removed. As a matter of fact, there will continue to be a "treking" back until the balance of power will again be found in the hands of the old machines or their successors in the States south of the Mason and Dixon Line. Even as the old line Republicans and Democrats were affiliating in the parties "for revenue only", so will the "latter day saints" proceed to do the same thing.
They are persecuting Perry W. Howard for holding on to a legacy handed down to him by those who have gone on before. It is gratifying though to have President Hoover to speak out and to act in the open. His predecessor intimated that he had taken the same position, but he did not overthrow fundamental party principles in so doing. We think we see just ahead a political revolution. A large proportion of the new Democratic recruits from these Southern States will find plenty of seats ample, in the Republican Party, made so by members of the party who with their ousted leaders will retire to the background and await developments.
The weakness of President Hoover's position may be found in his acceptance of color as the basis of recognition in the new Party that he is promoting throughout the
length and breadth of this section.
In our own State Hon. Henry W.
Anderson makes no secret of the
fact that he does not recognize any
citizen of color as his political equal
at the polls, even though in every
oath which he has taken as an office
holder, he has pledged himself $s_0$ to
do. The only satisfaction and gratification to the colored people is
that Col. Anderson and those of his
opinions will not Kve always.
Right principles are eternal and will finally triumph. The outlook is bright for a transfer of voters to other parties. We are of the opinon that are long, President Hoover will find out that his political bag has a hole in the bottom of it, through which more voters, both white and colorled will drop out than he can possibly counterbalance by those, who drop in. The supply of white Democrat-Republicans will give out.
In this connection the situation is closely akin to the Readjustor regime in this State. Gen. William Mahone, the fighting Confederate was for many years the central figure at Washington. Col. Henry W. Anderson is endeavoring to duplicate his achievement with the Negro left out of the equation. The fact that it has been necessary to hold two party conventions in this State to endorse a candidate discloses a dual leadership and tells plainly that the combination will be short-lived and that the majority of the "kicking Democrats" will return to their first love.
As for the poor Negro, American citizen that he is—well, that calls for much more comment. Let President Hoover try out his new found policy. Let the enemies of straightforward political conditions chuckle. We shall retire from the political lime-light now,—but we shall come again.
President Hoover
President Hoover
(Continued from page 1.)
"This aspiration has arisen out of no narrow sense of partisanship but from the conviction shared in equally by the leaders of all parties that the basis of sound government must rest upon strong two-party representation; that the voice of all States in the councils of the government can be assured by no other means; that the welfare of the nation at large requires the breaking down of sectionalism in politics; that the public service can be assured only by responsible organization.
"Furthermore, it has been the belief of these leaders, whose views I share, that the building up of such organization must in every conception of our foundations of local self-government evolve from those States themselves."
Points to Quality of Leadership.
"Republican leadership in the border States and in Virginia and North Carolina has long since built up a vigorous party organization which assures Republican representation in the Congress from those States.
"In other States including Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Florida, the Republican leadership has in recent times shown imitations of the party's ideals, being able and conscientious service in maintaining a wholesome organization under whose advice the appointments to public office have steadily improved and commended themselves to the citizens of those States with increased confidence in the party.
"I highly approve and welcome the movement of the leaders of Texas, Alabama, Florida and other States to broaden the basis of party organization by the establishment of advisory committees of the highest type of citizenship to deal with administrative questions and who will cooperate with independent Democrats.
"This movement, springing as it does from within the States themselves, insures its strength, permanence and constant improvement in public service.
Denounces Patronage Abuses.
"Recent exposures of abuse in recommendations for Federal office, particularly in some parts of the States of South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi, under which some of the Federal departments, mainly the Postoffice, were misled in appointments, obviously render it impossible for the old organization in those States to command the confidence of the administration, although many members of these organizations are not subject to criticism.
"But such conditions are intolerable to public service, are repugnant to the ideals and purposes of the Republican party, are unjust to the people of the South and must be ended.
"The duty of reorganization so as to correct these conditions rests with the people of those States, and all efforts to that end will receive the hearty co-operation of the administration.
"If these three States are unable to initiate such organization through the leadership of men who will command confidence and protect the public service, the different Federal agencies must adopt other methods to secure advice as to the selection of Federal employees."

and have not suffered from the makg a statement to L. J. Hayden.
Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for
Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors
advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was
advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try be-
fore being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using
his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a
large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I
highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity.

JACK JOHNSON'S OWN STORY OF HIS GREAT FIGHT WITH JESS WILLARD at Havana
EXTENDED THE FIGHT===WAITED UNTIL HIS WIFE SIG= NALLED THAT SHE HAD THE MONEY
(Continued from Last Week)
Jack Johnson concludes his account of the fight with Jess Willard as follows:
I had no wish to undergo the ordeal of strict training, knowing as I did how the fight was to terminate.
Mrs. Johnson, my nephew, Gus, my sparring partners and friends were curious and alarmed over my failure to train properly and several times demanded to know what my object was in being so indifferent. I boxed occasionally with Bob Armstrong, Sam McVey, and some other American boxers, whom I had previously fought in America, but as I always had been able to box rings around all of them, they never knew whether or not I was in shape.
Won Much Money
On one occasion Mahoney, an American contractor, who had played a big part in the Spanish-American War, and who then was living in Havana, overheard me talking to Willard and repeating, "Hit me! Come on, hit me!" I was then a big favorite in the betting. What Mahoney heard caused him to take quick leave of the arena and reenter by another way, when he laughed a big bob on Willard. He won a big bob on money, of course. It just happens that today Mahoney is a very close friend of mine. I have visited Cuba three times since the Willard fight and on each occasion Mahoney has met me and been my host.
I did not tell Mrs. Johnson I was going to lose the fight until a few moments before I entered the ring. Curley had paid me my fight percentage before I left my home. No one knew that the money was there and I employed four policemen to guard the home though they did not know that it was because of the money, and with the understanding that they merely were to watch the premises. I instructed Mrs. Johnson to sit at the ring-side and watch the fight; that there was more money due me and until this money was paid to me, I would not let the fight take the course agreed upon.
Delayed the End
Delay in paying this money was due to the incomplete count of gate receipts, which was under way when the fight started. Mrs. Johnson was to signal me when she had received the additional money and I was to signal her so that she might leave the ring-side. The fight was originally intended to end in the 10th round. But when that round arrived, the money had not been paid. It was nearing the 26th round when the money was turned over to Mrs. Johnson. I had specified that it should be in $500.00 bills in order that the package should be small and the amount closely counted.
Gave the Signal
After examining it, she gave me the signal. I replied that everything was OK. By a prompt instruction an officer departed. I felt very sorry for Mrs. Johnson to have to relinquish the belt. But I was not sorry that I had lost the championship, nor further permitted another to attain it. On the contrary, I hainy, because I hopefully looked forward to my speeches in the United States, where I would again be with my old friends and above all, with my mother. It was this expectation of my return to my native land, my friends and my mother that determined my part in the history Johnson-Willard fight and explains why and how I lost it.
not, even as others, which have no hope."
Rev. Dr. Hatcher grasped the full significance of the occasion and for about thirty minutes, without any oratorical display, delivered one of the best rhetorical eulogies, to which we had ever listened. He declared that W. F. Denny was his friend, in jail or out of jail, right or wrong. He felt deeply the full force and effect of his intuitively taking off.
Denny wanted him to preach his funeral. During one of his figurative deliverances, he said that Denny wore the mantle of his faults and when the angel beheld it he passed aside, disclosing his heart covered by the redeeming blood of Christ, which when th e angel beheld it, he passed it. He proclaimed that while Christ was a man without sin, on the cross, He was the most sinful man in all of the Heaven. He himself the sins of all the world including those of James S. Hatcher and W. F. Denny. During his brief occupancy of the pulpit, he swayed the audience at will and when he resumed his seat, there were murmurs of approval over the masterly manner in which he handled a most delicate subject. Rev. G. W. Gaines, D. D., the very able pastor of Hood Memorial A. M.

E. Zion Church, spoke briefly of the deceased. Quite a sensation was caused by the remarks of Rev. A. S. Thomas, D. D. He spoke broadly and with much feeling. The congregation remained standing while the funeral cortege pased out. The choir had gone to the street and there sang as the body was carried to the funeral car in charge of Funeral Director C. P.

ED FOR FOURTH YEAR
New York, March 23.—Announcement was made here today by the Federal Council of Churches thru its Commission on the Church and Race Relations that the fourth year of the William E. Harmon Awards for Distinguished Achievement among Negroes, offered by the Harmon Foundation, will be open for the entry of candidates until September 3 of this year. An offer of a gold medal and an honorarium of $1,000 for outstanding service in race relations to any man or woman of America for outstanding work in improving race relations between the United States and Nicaragua in the United States and dependencies is one of the awards this year. The other awards consist of a gold medal and an honorarium of $400 and a bronze medal and an honorarium of $100 in each of the seven fields of Literature, Music, Fine Arts, Business and Industry, Science and Invention, Education and Religious Service.

the judges in any of the respective fields. The names of the recipients will be announced on or about January 1, 1980. Blanks required for entrance of candidates may be secured from George E. Haynes, Secretary of the Commission at 105 E. 22nd Street, New York. These awards are in no sense a contest for prizes and were first offered in 1926 by the late William E. Harmon for the purpose of giving additional stimulus to creative work by members of the Negro group. They are insignia of honor conferred for creative efforts that have contributed to or may be helpful to American life and civilization. They are conferred not for any one piece of work of the candidate but consideration is given to his whole achievement from the evidence available to the judges at the time of consideration. The Race Relations award is given only every other award and there have been only three recipients in past years. There have been forty recipients of the other awards during the three years that they have been offered.

Supreme Court and the Masons
When the Supreme Court last week handed down an opinion affirming a decree which Judge Spratley of the Circuit Court of the City of Newport News, Virginia had entered in favor of Widow's Son Lodge, No. 54 A. F. and A. M. against Isaac N. Phillips. John Clark James Washington and others, a final disposition was made of a dispute which had disturbed the craft of news for quite some time.
The whole dispute centered around objections to an endowment plan which had been adopted by the Grand Lodge of Virginia A. F. and A. Masons. The suit came to court in a bill filed by Widow's Son Lodge No. 54 A. F. and A. M. to compel the majority of that lodge which seceded and established a lodge known as Lodge No. 14, A. F. and A. M., Colored to return to the local branch of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, that is lodge No. 54, the monies properties, paraphernalia and other personal effects.
The opinion was handed down by Chief Justice Robert R. Prentis who, after reciting the allegations in the bill filed by Widow's Son Lodge No. 54, said:
The chief argument for the appellants seems to be based upon the contention that the endowment plan was not properly adopted and hence that they were not bound by it, and yet somewhat inconsistently as it seems to us, they at the same time claim that the endowment plan put them out of the order without further action suspended them because they had failed to comply with the requirements made by the endowment plan. They, therefore, and thereupon claimed that they continued to constitute the true Lodge. No. 54, with power to do as they pleased, including the right to ignore all of their other brethren, and to affiliate with the new Grand Lodge and take all of the property or No. 54 with them. The answer to this is that at the time of the vote they were either in or out. If legally out, they had no further interest while if they were then legal members of the order, and in control of Lodge No. 54 they were still governed by that section of the Constitution or the Grand Lodge, which provides that when a lodge ceases to function all of its property vests in the Grand Lodge, in trust, upon condition that if and when such lodge shall be reorganized the property will be returned.
"If the endowment plan had been properly adopted, then these rebellious members had either been or were subject to suspension in accordance with the laws of the order. After legal suspension, they had no further interest in Lodge No. 54 or its property.
"Whether the endowment plan was legally adopted or not is immaterial in this case, because in either event the action in undertaking to transfer all of the funds of Lodge No. 54 to themselves to Widow's Son Lodge, No. 14 was without warrant of law and shocks the con-
"The decree or the court complained of, which held that Widow's Son Lodge. No. 54 continued to function even after the action of January 9, 1925 that its loyal members continued to be affiliated as Lodge No. 54 with the old Grand Lodge, and that the title to the money and property remains with Widow's Son Lodge. No. 54, is clearly right in every respect. If before their withdrawal from Lodge No. 54 these protesting members had any legal claim to any part of these funds, such claims should have been legally asserted. By their revolutionary secession or January 9, 1925, such possible rights have been forfeited."
A fair interpretation of this far-reaching decision is that members seceding from local lodges or the old Grand Lodge of Virginia can take nothing with them and the loyal members are entitled to all of the properties accumulated while affiliated with the old Grand Lodge. Judge Spratley entered an order forbidding the use of the name, "Widow's Son Lodge No. 14 A. F. and A. M., Colored" on the ground that it was confusing and tended to lead the public to believe that this latter lodge represented the complainants in the suit. This suit was hotly contested, with W. R. Walker. J. C. Robert son and J. Thomas Newsome representing Lodge No. 54, the winning lodge, and Messrs. J. Winston Read and R. H. Pree representing the defendants.
It is said that several lodges in Virginia who went out from the old Grand Lodge under circumstances similar to the secession of the majority of the members of Lodge No. 54 will be affected as well as controlled by the decision of the Supreme Court upholding the contentions of the loyal local lodge affiliated with and functioning under a warrant of the old Grand Lodge of Virginia.

Beauty Secrets
By Helena Rubinstein
Helena Rubinstein
Palmists will tell you that you have a Hand of Promise and a Hand of Achievement. And in the Hand of Achievement the lines change with life's experience. But we need no palmist to tell us that the lines of the mouth change as our characters change, for better or for worse.
Hardships and disappointments harden the curves of the lips, and corners droop unless you call will power and courage to your aid and smile in the face of bitter things as well as sweet.
And a hard mouth is a dreadful face because it shows to all the world that life is bigger than YOU sure that you cannot rise above difficulties; are complaining for what you cannot gain. A hard mouth loses firmly, closely held together, drawn tight against the teeth, and the soft curves are thin and very harsh.
In the domineering person the lower jaw is apt to give away the secret, assuming a pugnacious, protruding angle. The dissipated mouth has lost its fine lines; has become loo-lipped. The thickened lower lip usually betray weakness and sensuality; curves are downward. A sense of humor makes a beautiful mouth, lips are curving, generous and mobile. A humorous mouth has an eternal little curve at the corner of the mouth as though it would break into a sword.

Six months are now to be given to the Old Testament. The general title is "Prophetic Teaching and Leadership of Judah." The Aim, as stated by the International Lessons Committee, is "To lead the pupils in discovering and appreciating how God, through prophets and other leaders, gave help and guidance to the people of Judah, in order that the pupils may come to see the hand of God in their own lives in all human affairs." Five weeks are given to Isaiah, so read that book in that time. This series continues the course which concluded with "From Samuel to Isaiah" December 1927, and is part of the six year cycle.
A great heart ache led Isaiah to seek a special audience with God. Hezekiah the efficient and greatly beloved king died and life for the nation looked dark indeed. There is always resource in the recourse to prayer and the prophet was comforted as he looked into the future with Jehovah. Spiritual sight pierced beyond the horizon of the physical and Isaiah behold his enthroned Lord in majestic setting. Heavenly messengers were about Him. Their six wings typified worship, humility and service. Salutation was heard in the antiphonal greeting "Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory."
Instantly the consciousness of the presence of Deity made Isaiah aware of his own sinful human nature by contrast. It is always so. As we come unto Him we are mindful of the difference, as the real self is acknowledged. Isaiah's outcry was akin to that of the man in parable, when two men went up to the Temple to pray, who said "God be merciful to me, a sinner." Such pleading moves our Father to action. Though it was in a vision there was effective reality, as one of the seraphim took a burning coal from the altar and cleansed those lips as by fire. Thus made ready, Isaiah was able to give a noble response when the Lord called for volunteers, saying "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Instant answer was "Here am I; send me." Today, when opportunity is given for service 95% of the average church members will be indifferent or suggest that the other 5%, already doing most of the work, undertake the added tasks.
Isaiah served faithfully during four reigns. He fulfilled the office of a prophet. He foretold the truth as a messenger commanded by Jehovah. No toil was too hard to be undertaken in obeying a commission. He boldly faced kings as well as peasants, for every class equally needs the truth of life. He HAZAILED, tick Isaiah, in performing the price of a pastor, told him "Set thy house in order," in preparation for impending death. He is foolish indeed, every phase of life should be loved so that the auditing can take place at any time.
The Golden Text offers a challenge as each one of us is faced with some summons to service. "Here am I; send me" is the honorable response. Such opportunities are close at hand. Every call represents some vital need. You apply this lesson as you personalize it in your own experience.

the merest hint of provocation. It is a beautiful mouth to look at, a beautiful one to have.
But what you can do about your mouth? Absolutely you! You can remember not to clench your teeth, to pull your lower lip, to overwork your mouth and jaw muscles through that most unpleasant of all bad habits—gum chewing.
You can bear in mind that teeth keep slightly apart make for a greater fullness of the lips and for a sweeter expression. You can remember to set a watch on your mind, to refuse to permit anger or cruelly or bitter thoughts to run away with you. You can remember not to bottle up all of your feelings, either the good or the bad ones.
For suppression is good neither for the soul nor the face. And while we are on the subject of suppression, let me warn you not to mistake self-control for suppression. When you suppress a thought it is still there in your mind, brooding, waiting to spring to life at the earliest opportunity. Self-control is not only control of action. It is thought control as well.

according to R. C. Stirton, president of the H. W. Gossard Company. The psychics may be able to tell a woman's personality by the purple spots and yellow stripes of her invisible aura—but her choice of the mild or the mauve, the bizarre or the conservative, in lingerie is the real and surest key to her personality. Mr. Stirton said at the figure-fashion show of the H. W. Gossard Company, recently.
"Even the color combinations, blue and pistachio, rose and orchid, peach and green, and pink and green, nowadays are designed to appeal to many different types of women," Pink and green, the pale peach and pastels are the colors for the light, girlish type. As the trees sophisticated and pistachio, deep lavenders, and rose and archid are for the manic figure."

Some understanding soul must have created the designs for new bath mats and Turkish towels—for not only have they backgrounds of green, mauve, maize or rose, but motifs themselves turn to all manner of sprightly themes for inspiration.
And we have rollicking dolphins disporting themselves across the bath towel; such subtle suggestions of spring and summer as the katy-did and what we take to be the humming bird!
Pleasing color does indeed have power to sooth ruffled early-morning spirits; naive design is always anusing. And since most of us need as much help in this direction as possible—these decorative notes find themselves most welcome in the routine of making ready for the day.

Yesterday my chauffeur took me through a much-crowded traffic-way. Some of his maneuvers with the machine were hair-breadth in precision. He never grew ruffled in temper; his nerve seemed absolutely dependable, though his welfare and mine were skirting the danger-zone. I congratulated him when we alighted at our destination.
"It's done by practice," said he; "You've got to observe the rules—watch for an openin', and go ahead."
Simple enough. Just obey the laws, watch for your opening—and go ahead! Come to think of it, don't the same three simple rules hold good in every walk of life?
There are people who are very lax about the rules; they seem disobedient to begin with—a very undesirable trait in men and women. Negligence of existing laws grows on folks that travel on life's crowded thoroughfare. They get on the wrong side of the street, get fined, curse the traffic policemen secretly, and, imperil the lives of their fellow-men, as though life were a trivial thing.
The fellow who never gets there hasn't looked for the opening; goes around in circles, with eyes half closed. Then he grumbles because business is dull; he is the dullard. The opening is there, just as soon as the other driver gets out of the way.
Then, if one doesn't see the opening—hasn't looked for it—he simply never goes ahead. He is in a position to get bumped into, and soundly roasted because he is obstructing the traffic; worse than all, he has only himself to blame. If he doesn't do it, his fellow-travellers will blame him in full measure. Obey the rules, watch for the opening—then go ahead. Simple, isn't it?

John D. Rocketeller, Jr., wins his fight in the Standard Oil Company of Indiana and Colonel Stewart is deceased.
There have been few more bitter fights in the history of high finance.
On Tuesday John H. Perry, tearned editor of Reading, Pennsylvania, Jacksonville, Florida, and other places, predicting the Indiana result, said
"It is hard to fight dollars. In fact, you can't do it."
He added as an afterthought
"It is absolutely impossible to fight dollars when they happen to be right."
Colonel Coblentz, of San Francisco and New York, remarked:
"To the victor belong the oils."
Colonel Stewart, bidding farewell to Standard Oil of Indiana, and probably preparing to run some other big oil company, had the satisfaction of reporting financial success for 1928. In the last year Standard Oil of Indiana has earned more than eighty-three million dollars profit, or 1676 per cent on its capital. Earnings of the company increased more than fifty millions, as compared with 1927
President Hoover, who summons the extra session of Congress to meet on April 15, is not an emotional man. But he must have been moved on writing the words, now therefore, I, Herbert Hoover, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim and declare," etc.
After you have done farm chores as a small boy there must be considerable satisfaction in writing, "Now, therefore, I, President."
On April 15 farmers will have their day and Congress will tell them, if it can, how to put a dis-organized industry on a substan- tial, paying basis.
No manufacturer could make his plant pay if he had to clo- down all Winter. The farmer must do that, and it is part of his problem.
President Hoover has a quality more important to executives than any, except sound judgment.

When told of the Mexican revolution, the President did not wait a week. In five minutes he had told his Cabinet "our business interest and duty demand support of the existing Mexican Government."

This does not imply complete approval of all that the Mexican Government has done, or disapproval of the revolutionary cause. It means that the President means to uphold stability of government

THE DESPERATE LOVER
By E. Phillips Oppenheim
ILLUSTRATED BY FRANK B. DRUEN
Eleventh Installment
Palermo is the scene. There an exile, Leonardo di Martiiano, has come for love of Adrienne Cartuccio, who spurs him. He meets an Englishman, Loreal St. Maurice, who is a Frenchman and sight. Leonardo sees his sister Margharita who tells him his love for Adrienne is hopeless. But he pleads with her to arrange an accidental meeting, to say farewell, because she consents. That night the Englishman is informed of an attempt being made to officiate a wedding, the gharita is walking by brigands employed by a rejected suitor on a lonely road. He rushes to the scene, and proves himself to be often the infiltrated by the failure of his scheme. Leonardo mariglia, who shows him she knows that he was magusian or the attempted, and so on, often. The Englishman, sitine in the hotel, finds a dagger at his feet. Looking up, he sees the Sicilian, and scours treasure. Trout, when Italian Louis Lort St. Maurice nods. Leonardo and the Englishman quarrel. The Englishman at first refused to accept a challenge to duel, when the Italian Louis Lort St. Maurice nods. Each other ready to fight to the death.
Marigallia stops the duel by coming in the nick of time to save the Englishman in the fight with Leonardo. Leonardo vows vengeance. After 25 years in jail he is again at his hotel, an old, broken man with only a few friends. At his hotel the proprietor, worried about him, advertises for his friends and Leonardo is first visited. Theoman he comes to has been killed. Then there comes to him the daughter of his sister, whom he greets in great surprise. Count Leonardo tells his niece the story of love for Marigallia. She is sympathetic. Brisece takes a post at the home of Lady St. Maurice, Marion's former love as a governess in order to be in position to wreak vengeance upon her. But finally, the mother of Miss Brisece and Lady St. Maurice begins tellin' him the pain. Brisece is corresponding with her husband. He writes her of his desire for revenge. Between Marion and his cousin, between Marion and the poisoning of Lady St. Maurice, Marion having obtained the poison from a curdler, Mr. Paschal, he tells in his letters how he can
"I you, had a great surprise, Margherita. You will not wonder what I mean by that when I tell you that in the light which streamed from the unseen window everything in the room is distinctly visible to me. Was, dreaming, child, or were you
mind! assembling to the embrace of the man whose arms were surely around you. Him, I could not see, for his back was turned to the window; but will you laugh at me, I wonder, if I tell you that I felt strangely jealous of him. I am a foolish old man, Margharita, but all the love of my heart is yours, and I had begun almost to look upon you—in my thoughts—as my own child. I cannot bear the thought of giving you up to any one. You will not think me very, very selfish. I have only a few more months to live, and I know that you will not grudge that much out of your future, that you will stay by me to the end. Afterwards, I will be able to tell you, and although I must confess that I had hoped you might have married one of the sons of our own country, still it is you who must choose, and I owe you, or shall you you soon, too great a debt to press upon you any desire of mine which is not at one with your wishes. But tell me this—Is he an Englishman? Alas! I fear so. Send me a word by the bearer, and tell me; tell me, too, of what family he is, and whether he is noble. But of that I feel already assured, if he be indeed the man to whom your love is given.
"You must surely have sustained a shock at my sudden and rash appearance. Doubless you wonder at seeing me here at all. I could not keep away. I must have news day by day, almost hour by hour. It is all that keeps me alive. I must be near to feel that I am breathing the same air as the woman on whom a long-delayed vengeance is about to fall.
"I have taken a furnished cottage on the outskirts of this village, and a little more than a mile from Mallory Grange. But do not come to me. Dearly as I would love to have you talk to me, and heat from your own lips that all goes well, I will present it were better. I will device some means of communication, and let you know of it shortly. I am living here as Mr. Angus.—Yours ever,
"MY BEAR UNCLE... I am a captain a miserable, pleading culpit. It is the man who I love an Englishman—the man who was standing by my side last night; and it is true that he has taken me to marry him. But I have not told him so, and I have not promised to marry him. That is not all of my confession. Not only is he an Englishman, but his name is Lord Lumley St. Maurice, and he is—her son.
"Now you know the terrible trouble I am in. Last night he was telling me of his love, and assuring me of his mother's sanction and approval, when your face appeared at the window, and that I fainted? Can you wonder that I sit here, after a sleepless night, with eyes that are dim and a heart that has become a stone? I dread to die from the room. My position is
Something in her sad tone and su-
dued manner seemed to strike a note of fear in his heart. He leaned forward, grasping the sides of his chair with nervous, quivering fingers, and looked hurriedly into her face.
"No; you have had no chance, then. But you will have soon? Is it not so? Soon, very soon?" She threw her arms around my neck. He made no response, nor did he thrust her away. He remained quite passive.
"It is not that, uncle. Oh, lie to me. Do not thrust me away. I cannot do this thing."
He sat as still as marble. He was no change, no emotion.

face. Yet her heart sank within her,
“Oh, listen to me,” she pleaded passionately.
“You do not know her as she is now. She is good and kind—a gentle-hearted woman.” It was so long age; and it was not out of malice to you, but to save the man she loved. You hear me, do you not? You are listening. She has not forgotten you. Often she sorrows for you. It was cruel—I know that it was cruel—but she was a woman and she loved him. Let us steal —way together and bury these dark —marks of the past. I will never leave you;
I will wait upon you always; I will be your slave. Forgiveness is more sweet than vengeance. Oh, tell me that it shall be so. Why do you not speak to me?"
He sat quite still, like a man who is stunned by some sudden and unexpected blow. He seemed dazed. She wondered, even, whether he had heard her.
"Uncle, shall it not be so?" she whispered. "Let us go away from here and leave her. I am not thinking about him. I will not see him again. I will never dream of marrying him. Let us go this very day, this very hour!"
Then he turned slowly toward her, thrust her hand from around his neck, and stood up.
"You have been false to me, Margharila," he said, in a slow, quiet tone. "After all, it is only natural. When you first came to me, I thought I saw your mother's spirit blazing in your dark eyes, and I trusted you. I was to blame. I forgot the tradesman's blood. I do not curse you. You do not understand, that is all. Learn now that the oath of a Marioni is as deathless and unchangeable as the hills of his native land. Will you go away at once, please? I do not wish to see you again."
His speech so quiet, so self-contained, bewildered her. There was not a single trace of passion or bitterness in it. She stretched out her hands toward him, but she felt chilled. "Uncle, you——"
"Will you go away, please?" he interrupted coldly.
She turned toward the door, weeping. She had not meant to go far—only out on to the garden-seat, where she might sit and think. But he saw another purpose in her departure, and a sudden passion fired him. She heard his step as he rose hastily, and she felt his cold fingers upon her wrist. "You would go to warn her!" he cried, his voice trembling with anger; "I read it in your face. You are as false as sin, but you shall not rob me of the crown of my life! No one shall rob me of it! Vengeance belongs to me, and this symbol of my will, have it by it." He snatched a handful of white blossoms from the bowl, and crushed them in his fingers. Then he threw them upon the ground and trampled upon them.
"Thus did she betray the sacred bonds of our Order when, for her lower's sake, she added treachery to cunning, and wrecked my life, made Leonardo, Count of the Marionis, the lonely inmate of prison walls, the scorn and plty of all men. Thus did she write her own fate upon a far future page of the tablets of time. Talk to me not of forgiveness or mercy, girl! My hate lives in me as the breath of my body, and with my body alone will it die!"

horrible. I have tried my utmost to avoid him, to treat him with disdain, to send him away from me. I have steeled my heart and clothed my face with frowns—in vain! The bald face remains that I love him. Do you despise me, uncle? Sometimes I feel that I deserve it; but I have suffered, I am suffering now. I am punished. Do not add your anger to my load's "Immediately you get this, sit down and write to me. Write to me just what is in your heart. Your words I shall set before me as my law. Do not delay, and, if you blame, do not fail to pity me—Yours ever unchanged, "MARQUESA."
"MARGARITA. — I have received your letter, and I have pondered over it. You are young to have such a sorrow, yet I do not doubt but that you will act as becomes your race. You can never think of marriage with this man; you a Marioni, he a St Marinice. Yet I grieve that you have let such a feeling steal into your heart, Pluck it out, Margarita, I charge you; pluck it out by the roots! Think not of the wrong done to you as a man and your uncle, but a Count Leonardi di Marioni, the heaof of my family, the
head of your family. We have been the victims, but the day of our vengeance is at hand. There is no life without its sorrows, child! In the days to come, happines' will teach you to forget this one.
"Rarewell, my child. I shall send you no more notes. Write or come to me the moment the deed is done! Come to me, if you can; I would hear your own lips tell me the news. Yet do as seems best to you. In sympathy and love, L. m. R.
"One word more, child. Do not for a moment imagine that I blame you for what has happened. Old man though I am, I too know something of the marvels and the vagaries of this same love. Will can have to do with its course. I have who suffered so deeply, Margharita, can and do symphore and feel for you."
PART IV
"MARGARITA! You have come at last. It is done, then. Say that it is done!"
She stood quite still in the humble red-tiled sitting-room, and looked at him with a great compassion shining out of her dark, clear eyes. He was worn almost to a shadow, and his limbs were shaking with weakness, as he half rose to greet her. Only his eyes were still alight and burning. Save for them he might have been a corpse.
Something of the old passionate pity swept through her as she stood there, but its fierceness had died away. Her heart leaped no longer in quick response to the fire in those still undimmed eyes. She had been a girl then, a girl with all the fierce untrained nature of her mother's race; she was a woman now, a sad-faced, sorrowful woman. He was quick to see the change.
"Margarita, my child, you have been ill!"
Still she did not answer. Silently she knelt down by the side of his armchair and took his withered, delicate hand in hers. A great bowl of white hyacinth stood on a table by the window, and the air was faint with their perfume.
"I am not ill," she said gently. "I was frightened on my way here, and had to run. There was a fire last night at the limatic asylum at Fritton, and some of the mad people have escaped. I saw one of them in the distance, and the keepers after him, They wanted me to go back, but I would come."
He stooped down and kissed her forehead, with cold, dry lina.
She shuddered at the gathering strength in his tone, and the fierce light which had swept into his face. "It is done, child. Say that it is done!"
