Judge D. Lawrence Groner of the U. S. District Court, handed down a decision today May 18th, denying the Richmond City Attorney's motion to dismiss application for an injunction to restrain the city from enforcing the segregation ordinance. He notified counsel for the plaintiffs that he would grant the injunction, and that the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States in the cases of Buchanvs. Worley and Tyler vs. Harmon governed and confirmed this opinion. Assistant City Attorney confirmed the report and stated to us that his department would take an appeal direct to the U. S. Supreme Court and a quick decision might be expected.

D. LAWRENCE GRONER.
United States District Judge.
May 22, 1929
J. P. Deans, after consulting with his Clerk and associates on the segregation committee decided to send Attorney Alfred E. Cohen to Norfolk. Vs. last Saturday to see what could be done to hasten a decision in the matter. When Mr. Cohen went into the Clerk's Office of the United States District Court there, he took from his files a memorandum made by Judge Groner. It stated simply that the decision in the cases of Buchanan vs Worley and Tyler vs Harmon governed in the segregation case in the City of Richmond and he would sign an injunction accordingly.
Attorney Cohen Active
Mr. Cohen lost no time in communicating this information to his clients here. An extra edition of the Planet was at once issued and it reached the public before the daily press had given out the information. James Alston case, which was scheduled for Police Court, Monday, May
RICHMOND ,VIRGINIA, SATURDAY MAY 25 1929

the Huston Court of this city June 8.
He had not in home, although Dr. A.
M. Bowles appeared to go on his

had been briefly summoned and he
attempted to give the bond with Al-
son present. Tuesday morning.
City Attorney Determined
Last Tuesday morning Attorney J.
K. Ballou appeared and Dr. Leon A.
Ried went on Alison's bond although
Dr. A. M. Bowles was present also
to do so. Attorney James E. Cannon
and Assistant City Attorney Lu-
clus Cary insisted that they would
prosecute James Alston, the injunction
having not been signed at that
time by Judge Groner, although Attorney Cohen stated that he had
drawn the injunction for the signa-
ture of His Honor. Later Attorney
Cary admitted that the appeal would
lie with the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals rather than with
the United States Supreme Court dis-
Will Not Reach Supreme Court It is doubtful that the case will ever reach the United States Supreme Court as counsel for the plaintiffs of the opinion that the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals is final in this case, unless a writ of contempt is obtained in this special
CARD OF THANKS.
Mrs. William F. Denny and children wish to thank their many friends for their kindness and sympathy shown them during the recent illness and death of their husband and father the late Attorney William F. Denny.
Rev. Baker, pastor of the Third Street Behul A. M. E. Church lost his wife by sudden death recently. His friends sympathize with him.
Moore Street Celebrates 54th Anniversary.
Moore Baptist Church held one of its achievement days last Sunday, when the Church celebrated its 54th Anniversary. The services began promptly at 11:30 A. M., Deacon A. A. G. Rose presiding. There was a historical sketch given by Deacon W. A. Kyles, Dr. Gordon B. Hancock, the pastor of the Church preached the anniversary sermon. It was a marvelous sight to see the throng of people who came out for the occasion.
The Passor's Ad Clubs Numbers
1 and 2 greeted the pastor immediately after the close of the morning services.
The afternoon services were given over entirely to Dr. Joseph T. Hill, the pastor of the Second Baptist Church, who is a scholar and a master of any situation. Next came his choir led by Mrs. Albrighton Jackson of California. There was never at Moore Street Church a spectacle more wonderful or more awe-inspiring than the picture of the afternoon services painted for us by Dr. Joseph T. Hill, assisted by his choir of heavenly voices.
At 8:30 P. M. Dr. W. L. Ransome a scholar, a teacher, a pulpit orator and a Christian gentleman pastor of the First Baptist Church, South Richmond, conducted the devotionals assisted by his choir. There was an eloquent paper read by Mrs. Roberta Boxell.
The case of J. N. Cassell and W. J. Trollinger which officers were recently dismissed from the police force of this city was called in the Hustings Court on the 17th inst. and continued until May 30. Attorney Benjamin Lovenstein has retired from the case and they are now being represented by Attorney H. M. Smith. The postponement was made on Mr. Smith's request. They are charged with accepting a bribe from Joe Ridley, colored who is an alleged bootlegger. Captain Wright, chief of detectives and Captain Bryan, who was concealed at Ridley's place saw the money counted and passed between Ridley and the policemen.
BERNARD CRAWFORD SHOT
Bernard Crawford got into a fight with some one and as a result pushed to St. Philips Hospital where he gave the name of Elmore Hughes. He was treated for a knife wound in the breast Sunday morning and left saying he was going to 'get his man' It was not long before he was back at the hospital. He had been shot through $_{\text{n}}$ the mouth, his teeth being knocked out and the bullet had gone through $_{\text{h}}$ his neck. ...
Mrs. Tucker Pickrell says that he ran into her restaurant about 4:30 Sunday morning 19th inst. and a girl was with $_{\text{h}}$ him. Another man had a gun and fired through the glass door at $_{\text{h}}$ him, striking him. Crawford held the girl in front of him and the man poked the revolver over the girl's shoulder and fired at him repeatedly. Although in a critical condition he was reported alive when we went to press. The name of the man who shot him has not been announced.
CARD OF THANKS

Janie Kate Taylor, a married woman living at 1023 North Fourth Street was shot twice and killed at her residence $ _{e} $ Wednesday night between 10 and 11 o'clock by Lewis McCain. He fired at her four times. McCain was under bond to stay away from her she doing all she could to avoid him. It seems that Mrs Taylor, who has two children, sent one $ _{e} $ of them out to find what time it was. McCain must have seen the child leave, for he forced his way into the house and attacked the woman with a revolver. One bullet entered her left elbow, another entered the left arm just below the shoulder, passing through the breast and passing out through $ _{e} $ theung and out on the right side. Another entered the arm.
MURDERER RUNS AWAY.
McCain left the reviver and ran away. A warrant is out for his arrest. Any information concerning his whereabouts will be gladly received by the Police Department. It is reported that the husband of Janie Kate Taylor is in New York. The body of the unfortunate woman was turned over to Funeral Director A. D. Price, Jr.

Sam Washington, an inmate of the Virginia Penitentiary recently
thin and a fight with Clifton Roberts and on Wednesday, May 22 secured a table knife, sharpened like a dagger and plunged it into the breast of his former antagonist. The murder took place in the dining hall with 800 other prisoners present. Major Youseil, the able superintendent was only 50 feet away when the tragedy took place but h's back was towards Washington. It was 7:30 A. M. . . Washington was serving a 23-year sentence for store-breaking and had served 17 years of his time. Roberts was under a 10-year sentence for robbery. . . .
Rev. Gordon B. Hancock is mystifying to those who observe his methods. He has succeeded in leading the Moore Street Baptist Church congregation to a high plane of deserved success. His sermons are models of brevity and wisdom.

KING OF BEASTS IN A ROARING ACCOMPANIMENT
Seldom does one witness in photographs such a roaring accompaniment as is shown here when the Royal Beast of the Jungle hissing to the attrain of music from a Brunswick Portable Pan trope decides to join in the chorus. Here at least is proof evident that music, the universal language, soothes the wild as well as the cultured. It took a lot of time—it took a lot of patience, as well as a considerable lot of nerve to post the camera in such a position that it was at all possible to obtain such a rare photograph of the King of Beasts in an attitude such as this.

AUTOCASTER
The living room has lost its monopoly of the family radio. Today the well-equipped home has not merely its second automobile its television telephone and similar conveniences, but it has two or more radio receivers.
While father and mother are listening to an opera or a political talk, sister and her friends will be tuned in on a dance program. Big brother, upstairs in his own room, may be listening to a sport events or a scientific lecture. And in the nursery the youngsters will have been sent to sleep by a bedtime story that did not infringe on the waking hours of the adults in the family.
The varied taste of the different individuals in the normal household was responsible, originally, for the broadcasting stations developing programs offering a wide range of information. The very variety of programs only made more sense the difference between Pa and Ma and the children to what should be tuned in and what should
The answer, naturally enough, a time has proved—was the installation of multiple sets. This was made tactical by the development of new current sets, connecting directly with the lighting circuit for power. This enabled the simplicity of operation enabled them so meet readily the different requirements of location and use exacted even by the family of most diverse testers.

THE PREACHER AND THE BIBLE
The Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch, in its issue of the 1st instant, published the following:
If Obscene Texts Are in the Bible—They're Lawful
There may be obscene passages in the Bible, but the public reading of it does not constitute a violation of the law. Justice T. Gray Haddon ruled yesterday in Police Court.
After Policeman G. W. Burruss recited that he had arrested G. A. Simmons, elderly Negro, for using bad language and, worse—from the officer's standpoint—refusing to desist when ordered by Burruss to do so. Simmons unfolded a Bible, placed it in the judge's desk, and said: "Your Honor, I took my text from the 22nd chapter of Revelations."
The judge pondered over the good book, read the verses in question, and dismissed the case.
"If a man reads a Bible and indulgence is there, I can't do anything about it," the court stated. "The chief of police, who issued the permit, has discretion in the matter, but hands are tied."
my hands are the Police Court record for Tuesday, April 30, 1929, showed the following entry:

derly in the records of the Hustings Court of this city:
The grand jurors of the Commonwealth of Virginia in and for the body of the City of Richmond, duly summoned to and now attending said Court on their oaths present, that WALTER B. BURROUGHS on the third day of August, in the year one thousand hundred and twenty-eight, at the said City of Richmond, being then and there armed with a deadly weapon, swift: a pistol, in and upon one James Sharpe, unlawfully, feloniously, wilfully, deliberately and premeditatedly and of malice aforethought did kill and murder against the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Witnesses sworn and sent by the Court to the Grand Jury to give evidence:
Lucy Freeman,
Elijah Henderson,
Fleming James,
William Branch,
Dr. E. T. Hill,
W. A. Perkins,
Mattie Gerrien.
The trial was set for October 23, 1928, at which Officer Burroughs was acquitted of first degree murder.
the Times-Dispatch policeman's name. At the hearing of Rev. G. A. Simmons, who was arrested at Brook Avenue and Monroe Street, in the Police Court, the colored attorney, J. Thomas Hewin, appeared for Simmons with the announced satisfactory result. What would the late Rev. John Jasper have said about this action? He was noted for his ardor and ability in preaching from the Book of Revelations. Of all the persons in the world, it seems to us that Burroughs was about the last one to specify just what passage of the Scriptures should be read to the colored folks of this city.
Rev. Simmons was within his rights and he seems to have known his rights. We cannot for the life of us understand why Walter B. Burroughs, in view of his antipathy to colored folks, better known to him as "niggers," should have been assigned to a colored neighborhood, where he would come in direct contact with this class of people. It may have been that he could not stand the prickings of his own conscience. He could have moved on to the other places on his beat, especially in view of the fact that, as Judge Haddon says, the matter came directly under the supervision of his own superior officer, Chief R. B. Jordan.
We hope that it may be possible to transfer Officer Burroughs to an exclusive white neighborhood. But what about that 22nd chapter of Revelations? It is one of the most sublime parts of that Book of Books. Here it is:
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God of the Lamb.
and of the
2 In the midst of the street of it,
and on either side of the river, was there a tree of life, which bare twelve manners of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveh them light; and they shall reign forever and ever.
6 And he said unto me. These sayings are faithful and true; and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent
"Ask, and it shall be given; seek and ye shall find; knock; and it shall be opened unto you." Matthew 7:7. Text selected by REV. J. H. BURNHAM, Pastor Chickahominy (Toano) and Shiloh (Yorktown) Churches.

his angel to shew unto his servants
the things which must shortly be
done.
7 Behold, I come quickly: Blessed
is he that keepeth the sayings of the
prophecy of this book.
8 And I John saw these things,
and heard them. And when I had
heard and seen, I fell down to worship
before the feet of the angel
which showed me these things.
9 Then sayeth he unto me, See
thou do it not: for I am thy fellow
servant, and of thy brethren the
prophets, and of them which keep
the sayings of this book: worship
God.
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not
the sayings of the prophecy of this
book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be
unjust still: and he which is filthy,
let him be filthy still: and he that
is righteous, let him be righteous
still: and he that is holy, let him be
holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly
and my reward is with me, to give
every man according as his work
shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end, the first and
the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolators, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 Jesus have sent mine angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David and the bright and morning star.
17 And the spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heearth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that heearth the words of the prophecy of this book. If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.
19 And if any man shall take away the words of the book of this prophecy. God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things, which are written in this book.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

after he had ordered him to desist that Officer Walter B. Burroughs hauled this humble sixty-six-year-old preacher to the station house, to a felon's cell. O, the pity of it! And then he carried him before that Christian judge and officer, learned in the Scriptures, a church communicant and a worker in the Sunday School, for trial. He hailed him before T. Gray Haddon, who is conscientious. He might as well have carried him to Judge John L. Ingram or any other jurist in this section and the result would have been the same.

Sunday School Lesson
The conquering army of the Chaldeans was all about Jerusalem. Already some of Judah had been deported to Babylon. Zedekiah had been appointed king by Nebuchadnezzar but failed in his loyalty to that mighty chieftain. Soon Jerusalem fell and Zedekiah was taken to Babylon, but he never saw that city as he was blinded after being forced to witness the killing of his own sons.
Jeremiah's voice did not meet with approval for he had predicted such an overthrow of the nation if they would not reform and live rightly. When the inevitable was at hand the prophet advised ready submission to Nebuchadnezzar. In short, it was to their interest to make the very most of a bad situation. One thing in particular was commanded and it was to avoid any effort to win out through an alliance with Egypt. Zedekiah did the very opposite. When the army of Egypt approached to aid Jerusalem Nebuchadnezzar raised the seige to overcome the new enemy.
The lull in attack furnished opportunity for Jeremiah to start out for his home town, Anathoth. Then the loud talking Pashur cried "Treason" and declared that Jeremiah was deserving to the Chaldeans. For this, ready permission was obtained from Zedekiah to cast him into a dungeon. The bottom was a moss of mire into which the prophet sank, and with no concern to the captors. Any spot can be made a place of prayer and now Jeremiah just continues to seek spiritual strength from the ever present Jehovah.
Lbed-melech was his hero of the hour. He was just a ennuch and a negro from Ethiopia but he had a heart equal to the best in any race. He made Jeremiah's misery his own concern and hastened to relief. The king was importured. Doubtless the worthy character of Jeremiah was reviewed and his past fidelity called to mind. This time the king acts more worthily than when he yielded to the princes who sought Jeremiah's hurt. "Take thirty men with thee," was his command. There must be guard enough to withstand any effort to the contrary that might be made by these princes.
The way in which even a good deed is done is worthy of notice. Fledged-melech is most thoughtful. The old man in the pit is weak from his sufferings and the ropes used to lift him out would gall under the arm pits. So this Ethiopian carefully lowers some old trees and warns them out carmels' to the very faithful prophet. He does own throw them down lest they be soiled by the mire that was born. With all the gentleness possible Jeremiah was brought to comfort and accustomed to the joy with all race predispose. When he begin

THE TEST OF A GOOD SUNDAY
SCHOOL.
Sunday Schools are judged by many standards. Commonly people form their opinion of a school from the building in which it is held, from its size, the order of its sessions, its organization, its popularity in the community or by a combination of some of these or similar standards. There is only one supreme test of a goal Sunday School and that is the personal test. The goal of our work is spiritual. The method is the evangelism of teaching. The measure of our success is in terms of Christian character. Any Sunday School is fulfilling its real purpose to the extent that it is succeeding in leading its members to live lives of obedience and loyalty to the will of the Treavenly Father and of loving, self-denying service to men. If it is doing this, it is a good school. If it is not succeeding in this no matter how big it may be how strong an organization it may possess, or how complete an equipment it may have, it is a failure.

With vacation time fast approaching, the thoughts of thousands are focussing on the problem of how, when and where to spend their few hard-earned weeks of rest, recreation and refreshment. Some immediately think of the seashore, with its miles of glittering sands or rocky bays; to others the mountains make a great appeal, while to still another fraternity the deep, syrian loveliness of the woods and lakes offers all that could possibly be desired in the way of a holiday retreat.

Babies Go To "Late
As Drudgery Fad
Time was that when youngsters "played house" they practiced cookery, or made beds, or "went calling", strutting in discarded, ground-sweeping skirts from the attic.
But there's modernity in the kindergarten, as well as in the living room. Today the diversions of yesterday are decidedly behind the times for sophisticated three-year-olds.
Allowed to follow their natural bent, and encouraged in it, these children, in the nursery class at Mills College, in Cincinnati, wash their hands with iron and with the other appurtenances of today's home cleaning methods.
The example set by mothers in this day of "machine-operated" houses plays its part early in training the perspectives of the next generation.

Laborious hand washing methods of another day are vanishing so rapidly that one family in every three of the United States uses an electrical washer today, says the Household Research Bureau conducted in Pearla, Ill., by the makers of A-B-C washers. Lightening of work in the home, general increasing pride in personal appearance, the vogue for simpler and dainter clothes, all have done their work in the washer the most popular piece of home equipment. "Slaving over tub and washboard is forgotten today as women press a button to swish their washing clean in an A-B-C porcelain enamel tub, drying the garments ready for the line in the swiftly revolving water-extractor," says the Bureau.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA
THE FISHING MARKET
SUN PROCESS INCURING VANILLA IN MEXICO.
CHICAGO—The Mexican revolutionist may be a fiery devil and as fierce an hombre as they make 'em out the necessity of batting for a lot of insects, of doing the work delegated by nature to bees, wasps, and bees, has turned him, at least in the erua Cruz section, from excursions and alarms to the more peaceful pursuit of artificially pollinizing the vanilla plantifolia, that branch of the vanilla family which supplies the flavoring for ice cream and pastry throughout the world.
Dispatches received from Vera Cruz by D. Y. Gunning of the Flavor Extract Manufacturers' Association indicate that Pedro has exchanged his machete and fusil for a Bootlittle and has forsaken the noble work of vanilla extract, which is to return to the vanilla bean plantations where, with the flowers in full bloom, just now, he is needed to do the work of insects.
With his innocent toothpick, Pedro is removing pollen from the male flowers and spreading it delicately upon the calices of the flowers of the opposite sex, performing for them a service which, if left to nature, would be haphazed and sketchy at best. With the flowers artificially impregnated, Pedro may look forward to a business of crop estimation, 250,000 pounds for all crops, which after being duly cured by the sun, will be pressed into vanilla extract for the American housewife as soon as out cookies for her little ones.

and the outstanding shares from 200,- 000, to 600,000.
Fifty thousand of the new shares were set aside for distribution to employees at $80 a share, although the market value is estimated at $130. The offer affected 3,000 employees in the two factories and 800 in the company's 38 retail stores in 37 cities, and virtually all book advantage of it. The employees already held $7,000 of its stock in the last distribution made in the employee entering service since the last distribution might obtain an interest in the business, and that of the older employees be increased. "We do not need money from our employees' subscriptions to finance our business," said N. G. Richman, chairman of the board. "We need their hearty co-operation because they make and sell Richman clothes. There is no reason to take them into the business as a part owners."
Richman Brothers were the first clothing manufacturers to sell direct to consumer through house-to-house agents. In addition to retail stores, they carry on a large, nation-wide mail order business.

FECUNDATING THE
VANILLA FLOWER
"Early cultivators of the bean," said Mr. Gunning, "relied exclusively on insects to carry the pollen from blossom to blossom, but nature's method was found unreliable and as a result, some plants bore too many beans and others bore too few.
"The flowers, which are similar to the tuberose in shape, began blooming in the morning, and continue in bloom for several weeks, the green beans appearing late in May.
"The flowers open at night and close before mid-day. Pedro must be on the job at dawn, and until the crop is harvested, he will have little time for revolutionary activities."

WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE
The Sheridan Dramatic Club, of which Tom Bilbeck, the narrator, Maryella, the girl he cares for, and Jim Cooper, his rival, are members, start a performance of the play, and out to visit Home, but are interrupted by a fire During the rehearsals Tom Bilbeck is caused by the husband of one of the actors Mr. Hemingway, of being in love with his wife.
Riding away from the scene of the ill play in their costumes and overcoats he has taken to the stage, escaped convicts, one of whom is captured by Bilbeck after a struggle.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
He obeyed meekly enough.
"Will you answer one question?" he asked deferentially.
"Then what are you?"
"I only agreed to answer one question."
"Oh!"
He was obviously disappointed.
"What are you going to do with me?"
"Turn you over to the sheriff, I suppose."
The sound of the shot had aroused curiosity at the Old Soldiers' Home, and now half a dozen of the most nearly complete of the inmates led by Colonel Stewart came down the road in military order. They were armed with rifles and had bayonets fixed. I learned afterwards that the War trophies which were not loaded and had not been fired for sixteen years.
We told the Colonel what had happened and he sent one of the old men back to the Home with the ladies with instructions to telephone the sheriff. The rest of us went after the other escaped prisoner.
He had broken away from the road and gone into a patch of woods that lay alongside, as we could easily tell by his fresh tracks in the snow. It seemed as if it was going to be a comparatively simple matter to trail him.
We changed our minds, however, when the tracks led out of the comparative quiet of the timber-land to meadow. Here they ceased abruptly. There was enough wind blowing so that the snow was kept clear in some places and drifted in others. He had evidently avoided the drifts.
We had only one lantern or we could have searched to better advantage and by spreading out might have picked up the footprints without much delay. As it was we worked slowly and ineffectively.
A complete circle of the field gave us no clue. The snow was falling more rapidly now and even our own tracks were filled in very soon after we made them. I was anxious to get started, too, while the roads were not badly drifted.
"I think we've done all we can to night," I suggested to Colonel Stewart. "That fellow is going to have a hard time traveling very far in this storm and probably he'll lay somewhere until it lets up. He can organize a big posse and pick him up after daylight."
The colonel agreed. He was anxious to get his men under cover.
We took our prisoner back to the Lady's sitting room found the Lady's sitting around disconcertate with their wraps on amid a group of negligence but wide-awake old soldiers having the time of their lives over the extra attraction of a 'their-hit.'
There were no handcuffs in the institution, naturally, so we bound our prisoner to a chair pending the arrival of the sheriff. He looked disconsolate enough. I was suddenly sorry for him. Poor fellow, all he had done was to make a break for liberty. It was only because we were all against him that he was against us.
"Hard luck, old chap," I said to him.
He looked up at me. "It's all good," he said. "I don't mind a bit, where it's warm. I'm kind of worried about Jillian, though, out there in the snow. I wish you'd got him, too. He's delicate, and I'm afraid we'll catch cold"
"Well, I'm going home," I said my way of farewell. "But before I go in there anything I can do for you."
Not unless you're going to tell me what you are wearing those white things for. Did somebody steal them?
"No, they didn't." I snapped,
boring away.
"Ain't you going to tell me?"
"No."
I rejoined the rest of our group around the fire.
"I'll go out and start the car." I notified them, "and back up to the gate once more. When you hear me outside you can come out."
"Let me go with you," Jim Cooper offered.
I would just as soon have gone alone, but threw against no way of

declining his assistance, so we trailed out in the snow together with an oil hanten flickering unsteadily in the wind.
It was only a few hundred yards to where the automobile was standing, but the wind, which was increasing, threw the snow into our faces in stinging blasts that made walking difficult and conversation practically impossible. The car were still heavily hurting wedges of illumination into the black-and-white night, the seats were covered with snow. So was the windwinds; around each wheel was a little heap.

He did as I directed. I primed the motor thoroughly. I had no particular reason to suppose that the engine would start now when it had refused to do so half an hour before, except that from long experience I had great faith in the perversity of inanimate subjects, especially internal-combustion engines. Grandmother Page had thrown me down in an emergency, but now that the immediate danger was over I no doubt that she would start up cheerfully. There is something un- him."

I noticed that it pulled rather hard, but I bent an extra effort and vanked it over compression.
"Bang!" responded Grandmother Page enthusiastically. The first explosion was followed by a hideous clashing sound and then a terrifying thumping when could be heard even above the explosion of the motor. "Cut her off!" I yelled. When Grandmother Page had subsided Jim Cooper asked solicitively: "What's the matter?" "Didn't you hear the racket she was making?" I asked sarcastically. "I didn't notice anything special." Jim observed, which remark put him by unanimous vote into the Loyal Order of Henwetens. Pike had nothing on him for saying the wrong thing. In silent exasperation I lifted the hood and with the aid of the flickering examined Grandmother's gizzard. One look was enough. I closed the hood once more and stood silent, communing with nature.
Something in my manner must have penetrated Jim Cooper's consciousness.
"Is anything the matter?" he asked.
"There is," I announced briefly.
"The pump froze while we were hunting for escaped convicts, and as soon as I started the engine she stripped her gear. She won't run again until I get some new parts from the factory."
I turned out the scottyleave lights and started home. Jim Cooper followed silently.
Half way to the Home he said brightly:
"It's all for the best, Tom. Think how glad the automobile-repairmen will be."
When we entered the ladies stood up ready to go.
"I didn't hear you come," said Maryella. "The car is awfully quiet to night, isn't it?"
"It is" I assented gritly. "And will be for several days to come."
will be not several days to come.
When I had explained what had happened a day of dismay escaped the lips of Mrs. Hemmingway.
"I promised John I would come right home as soon as the performance was over, and he will be terrifying anxious," she walled.
"I wish I had gone home in the funeral bus," bemoaned Mrs. Lillie-love.
"I wish you had," I echoed feelingly.
"It's probably all for the best," chipped Jim Cooper like a parrot. (Ornithologist's note: Parrots do not chirp).
"Where do you find the ray of

comfort in this?" I demanded laccastically.
"That's easy," Jim explied.
"For one thing I am glad that it wasn't my car. For another it will give us all a chance to spend the night in an Old Soldiers' Home, which is something most people who are sent the night here?" Mrs. Hemmingway exclaimed in dismay, "It's impossible. I have to go home!"
"How?"
"I don't know how, but you must think up some way."
"Nonsense!" I exclaimed. "It can't be done to night. There's no train until morning. You can call to your husband and explain it to

val of the sheriff.
"Oh, is there a telephone?"
"Oh, is there a telephone? "Sure. There must be," said Jim Cooper. "You talk to John and tell him it's all for the best." "I'll try," Mrs. Hemmingway said cheerfully.
The telephone was conveniently located in the living-room so that all private conversations were distinctly audible to any one in the building.
After considerable delay in getting a long-distance connection, Mrs. Hemmingway managed to get the ear of her husband, who fortunately had not left the office.
"Is that you, John?" she asked in the telephone.
Apparently it was.
"Well, listen, John dear, I can't宅 home to-night I'm going to stay all night at the Old Soldiers' Home."
The rest of us tried to talk about something else so as not to appear to be listening, but we couldn't help it, and a sudden silence fell at her next remark.
"Yes, of course, Tom Bilbeck is here. It's all for the best."
The receiver hummed for a moment. Even we knew that he had raised his voice.
"Silly, of course I'd come home if I could. But Tom broke his automobile."
"No, no. He didn't break it on purpose."
"Listen, dear, you mustn't say such things over the telephone. Some one might be listening. Besides, you are entirely mistaken. How could I fall in love with a man who looks like Tom Bilbeck."
There was absolute silence in the room, also on the part of Mrs. Hemmingway.
"Yes, he got a funny face. Of course I laugh at him and all that, but—What's that? Your coming here? Oh! Is there a trail coming this way? Good! That will be lots of fun. Then we can go home together in the morning, an am so good. Good-by, dear!"
Mrs. Hemmingway hung up the receiver and turned back to our frantically silent company. I wisted that I could say something to show that I was alive, but my throat choked. Something in my face must have shown, however, because Ms. Hemmingway looked at me and ecclaimed in dumay:
"Did you hear what I said, Tom?"
"I simply had to make John think it was all right."
A loud "Whoa!" outside distracted our attention from the conversational tangle into which we had fallen.
"The sheriff!" exclaimed Colonel Stewart, going to the door.
A fur-wrapped figure came in, shedding snow.
Evening, sheriff," this colonel greeted.
The sheriff unwrapped a muffin, which had been over his mouth before he responded.
"Evening, Colonel."

How many women realize the need for a new type of makeup in the spring and summer? Not many, fear. And yet the need is not important. Just as one's wardrobe requires freshening, a change of color scheme, a new tone and plan, one's complexion needs a different style in makeup.

Bright, light shades in rouge should be worn with these darker powders. Orange or vermillion tones are good. Red raspberry is becoming to some types, but the
The mood of spring is different from the mood of winter. Deep shades in rouge and lipstick, fair tides of powder that have made light skins seem dazzlingly white under the bright indoor lights of a winter's social season look out of place in the informal, outdoor type of entertainment that characterizes the spring and summer season. Clothes become less formal now. The atmosphere of home and countryside takes on a less artificial, more natural, free, gayer tone. An interest in outdoor athletic activities is renewed, and with it comes again a vogue for sports clothes in pastel colors, not only for the women who participate in games, but for the fashionable men. With these clothes an average winter makeup seems either crud and glaring or delicately doll-like and artificial in tone.
The spring and summer makeup should be natural—adhering close to one's own complexion tones. The powder, however, should be darker than she may have worn
There used to be a time when the well dressed woman depended on the Parisian Fashion Creators for the clothes she wore. Some women who want to be different still get their clothes from Paris. The great majority of the women of America, and by the way are considered the best dressed women in the world, get that reputation by patrolling the local shops where the product of American fashion creators are on hand. In this series of photographs there are shown a quartette of creations especially planned for wear this summer at the seashore. The upper left shows an extremely modern boat and bathing costume by the Millettos. The materials are blue and white plaid rayon with a jersey coat of the same material and dressed with towelling. The upper right portrays an American designed swimming ensemble of red and white rayon with a wool jersey and a cotton bonnet. The lower left is a blue and white rhinestone creation. Dafetifolia and dolls and a sailor but give this beach ensemble just the right sally touch. The lower right is an extremely colorful creation in blue and green stepped snow done in the most modern

during the winter, to carry out nature's own idea in turning the skin darker through exposure to the sun.
Bright, light shades in rouge should be worn with these darker powders. Orange or vermilion tones are good. Red raspberry is becoming to some types, but the deep rouges with a fuschia or purplish tint are very much to be avoided. Likewise the darker lipsticks. Mascara has little place in the spring and summer makeup except for occasional formal evening functions. Lastead the fashionable modern uses a dark eyebrow and eyelash cream, one that softens and promotes the growth of lashes and brows while it darkens them and also permits them to be trained to their silkest of natural conditions when brushed frequently with a little eyebrow brush.
Cream eye shadow is brown
green or blue, according to the color
of the eye, may be used effec-
tively on the eyelids. And a fli-
stick or cream lip rouge in bright
light shades to match the cheek
rouge is not only permissible but
desirable, with the dark, outdoor
shades in powder.

Hints for the Home
Are you afflicted with a dead-white bathroom in these days when everyone else is having gay, colorful tiled baths with smart touches of black in the fixtures?
Grieve not—for you can easily transform your dull room by using colored linens and accessories and a clever treatment for the walls.
Fancy a cloud-blue papered wall spattered with silver stars, woodwork in the same blue, with thin voile curtains of palest pink and a bath mat in French blue and coral. Or picture on the wall above the bath picture a decorative panel of paper—perhaps a sea-gull or goldish motif—on a ground of pale sea-green paper; accessories showing a subtle touch of black.
You can waterproof almost any paper, you know, by hanging it as usual and when dry, applying two coats of ordinary glue size. When thoroughly dry, paint with two coats of white waterproof varnish, and you'll have a glazed surface that may be washed with soap and water.

APPETIZING TO EYE
WASHINGTON—By feeding young children tasteless pep, according to Dr. Louis Stanley of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, American mothers are bringing up a generation of dyspeptics who eventually will be revolted by the sight of food.
"We have been carried away," said Dr. Stanley, "by our zeal for vitamins and calories. Our amateur dieticians, many of them graduates of domestic science classes, seem to have lost sight of the value of flavor in food and tend to regard it simply from the standpoint of its wholesomeness.
"We have somehow got the idea that highly flavored foods are not good for children, and as a result of the bland, impid diets thus forced on them, growing children, just at the time when they need plenty of food, suffer from loss of appetite. This

Saute a chopped onion in 3 tbsp. butter, then remove the onion and add 1 1/2 cups cooked tofu, 2 teaspoons sugar, salt and pepper to taste and 6 eggs well blaten. Cook the same as scrambled eggs and serve on hot buttered toast.
A Spicy Salad Dressing
For beet, lettuce or string bean salad try this dressing which uses 1 ts. salt, ½ ts. mustard, pepper and paprika to taste, 1 tbl. vinegar, ¼ cup olive oil, 1 tbl. horseradish, 2 tbls. tomato catup, 2 chopped cloves. Mix dry ingredients, add vinegar, catup and horseradish and a lump of ice. Gradually add oil and beat thoroughly.
For Fish Night
Split whitefish as for broiling and take out back bone. Lay on greased pan, sprinkle with salt mixed with ¾ ts. currypowder. Cream 1 tb. butter, add 1 ts. anchovy paste and spread over the fish. Bake for 25 minutes, basting frequently with bacon dripping.

Important Role
the Digestibility of Food
indifference is continued into adult hood and is the cause, I believe, of much our digestive trouble. "Our scientific investigations, our interest in nutrition and dietetics have led us far astray and in the preparation of our foods we have prepared such important factors as flavoring and color. Flavor plays a decided part in the digestibility of what is set before us, and, after all, it is the state where the appetite.
food in the restaurants and in the home, has become standardized. It is about time that the American housewife forgot a little of her domestic science and made the acquaintance of the vanilla bottle the ginger jar, the can of paprika, and such extracts as orange lemon, chimney, rose, maple, banana, blackberry and walnut."
