Hon. Oscar DePriest, the colored congressman elected last November from the First Congressional District of Illinois, spoke at the Armstrong High School Auditorium Friday night, May 25th under the auspices of Astoria Penitential Club. An appreciative audience greeted him. He was introduced by Attorney James T. Carter, the man who a glowing outburst outmaneuvered Rilee Stokes on the stage. Ray C. C. Boone, the noted African missionary, in brief remarks, presented the Illinoisman with a copy of his book on Africa.
The Federal Constitution
Congressman DePriest discussed the Constitution of the United States and incidentally discussed his experiences in politics in Chicago. It related to his connection with ward politics in that great metronom. His tribute to May or William Hale Thawson, who gave him unstinted support in his aspirations and who ultimately brought Congress to his nomination and election. Congress was appreciated. He spoke too, of our local townman, Theodore W. Jones, whom he had been associated in politics in Chicago years ago.
Should Stand Together
For more than an hour, Mr. De Priest presented with his visual. He urged the colored people to stand together in the securing of their rights. The necessity for this was apparent. He had succeeded Representative Maden (white) of Chicago, who was one of the oldest statesmen who grew up in the city. He was one of the erudition of his action in naming colored men for the next academy at Annapolis and the United States army at West Point.
Was His Duty
He emphasized the fact that Negroes had elected him to Congress and he regarded it as his duty to recognize their support by acting just as he had done. Congressman DePriest was accompanied by his wife and his private secretary.
COUNCIL CALLED
The Sharon Baptist Church has called a council to examine Rev. Jacob Horne for ordination to the ministry to enable him to take charge of the pastorate of the Fountain Baptist Church. It is the wish of the latter church that this be done. The Council will convene June 12, 3 P. M., at the Sharon Baptist Church.

ANNIVERSARY SERVICES AT
FOURTH BAPTIST
Beginning Sunday, June 2nd, at 11:30 A.M., and ending Friday, June 7th, the Fourth Baptist Church (28th and "P" Sts.), will celebrate the first anniversary of its pastor, Dr. F. W. Williams, D. D. Excellent speakers and singers have been secured to serve on this occasion.
Sunday, at 11:30 A.M., Dr. W. H. Stokes, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church and his choir, are to be featured; at 3:30 P. M., Rev. A. M. Kent, of First Baptist, Washington Park, and the Junior Missionary Choir of Fourth Baptist; at 8 P. M., Rev. C. A. Cobbs, of Mt. Calvary Church, and his choir; Monday night, Rev. A. B. Smith, pastor of Asbury Methodist Church, will be heard and the choir of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church will furnish music; Tuesday, Rev. A. W. Brown, Sixth Mount Zion and his choir; Wednesday Rev. F. W. Black of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church and his choir; Thursday, Rev. I. H. Hines, of 31st Street Baptist Church, and his choir; Friday, Rev. O. B. Simms, of Rising Mt. Zion, and his choir.
The public is invited to all of these services. The members and friends of the church feel that this will prove to be, not only an ordinary anniversary of the able Dr. Williams, or a financial rally for the church, but it will prove the strong sentiment the public has for pastor and church. This has been demonstrated at every regular or special service had at the church during the past year, and especially during the recent revival when about 100 were happily regenerated. But this and other successful programs will be climaxed by the coming anniversary services of praise and thanksgiving.
Dr. Williams urges that this be a rally for new members, that those living in the community away from the home church, will become affiliated with the Fourth Bantist Church of Richmond.
Mr. E. T. Sully is now out in the country during the day, soliciting orders. He has found it highly beneficial to his health.
Mr. A. C. Clark is actively engaged in working for the National Ideal Benefit Society under the leadership of Supreme Worthy Master A. W. Holmes ..
Lewis McCain, the alleged murderer of Janie Kate Taylor at 1023 North Fourth Street has not as yet been apprehended. The dead woman was a nurse. Her husband is in the city, but her remains were looked after by her relatives. Funeral Director A. D. Price, Jr. shipped the body to Dunn, N. C. Coroner James M. Whitfield talked to the husband but there were no other developments. The revolver found on the premises appeared to be new. It was 32 calibre, while the one used in the murder was of 38 calibre.
Second Street In Uproar On Sunday Afternoon
Second Street In Uproar On Sunday Afternoon
Several hundred people gathered in a short time at the northeast corner of Second and Duval streets, at about 2 P. M., Sunday afternoon. A woman's screams, begging for mercy attracted the attention of passersby and a call for police was answered with the promptness of a fire alarm signal for patrolmen swarmed to the spot as it was presumed that the woman, Ruby Burford was fatally injured at $83 N. Second street. When the officers came, Richard Johnson, a small sized man sprinted towards Baker street, followed by an officer, who must have been an expert in foot races. He soon had his man back to the scene of the trouble. It was reported that Johnson had disrobed the woman and was beating her with his fists. He denied strenuously to the officer that he was the man, known as "Do-Diry." Sergeant R. W. Crafton was too, and after a long wait for the patrol wagon only served to augment the crowd, the sergeant remarked that he would take Johnson to the Police Station in his car and he did so. Johnson had blood on his shirt and when asked about it, he drew back his shirt and disclosed a wound on his breast. He said that he had been stabbed early that morning by a woman. He said he only knew her first name and could or would not give any information concerning her. He said in reply to the question that he had a few drinks. The crowd dispersed almost as quickly as it had assembled. No funeral directors wore in sight. One was about half a block away, but he
evidently sensed the fact that there was "nothing doing" in his line and he displayed no concern over the matter. Residents remarked that the beating up of women by their men was a common occurrence in that neighborhood.
The case of Richard Johnson, charged with assaulting and beating Ruby Burford was called in the Police Court last Monday. Seygant R. W. Crafton explained the reason to Judge T. Gray Haddon. He asked Johnson why he beat her. "Because she wouldn't go home with me" Is she you wife?" Judge Haddon asked. "No. I go with her." was the only. His Honor turned to Ruby Burford and said. "What do you want done with him?" She smiled, lowered her head, but made no reply. "He beat you," said the Judge. "what do you want done with him?" Upon her not answering, the Judge said, "I'll fine him $25.00."
Johnson went to the pen; the woman casting a fleeting look at him left the court room, evidently to get the money to pay his fine.
TO HONOR MUSIC TEACHER
The punts of Mrs. Olivia C. B. Golden are preparing to honor her in a very special way on the occasion of her annual recital, which takes place at Armstrong Auditorium. Monday evening, June 17, 1929. Mrs. Bolden has been teaching music for thirty-six years, and her many punts in this city, as well as those living in distant cities, are putting forth an effort to show their appreciation for her untiring and patient service. She has done much to help cultivate the musical talent of Richmond.

Contributions are being sent to the secretary. Mrs. Mary W. Mallory, 1320 N. 26th St., Richmond, Va.

Alamo, Tenn.—Joe Boxley, Negro, 19 years old, accused of attacking a white woman, was abducted from jail here early today and lynched four miles from the town.
A mob of 2,000 men had stormed a jail at Trenton, Tenn. in an adjoining county, before it traced the Negro to Alamo. There the men almost battered down the door of the home of Carl Emison, Crockett County sheriff. They discovered the keys to the jail under a divan where the sheriff had placed them, and got possession of the Negro.
Despite an injunction written on a placard and placed beside the body that the Negro was to "hang here until 4 P. M. Thursday," the body was removed from a tree by the county coroner and turned over to Boxley's relatives.

DO YOU BELIEVE VOICE CONTROLSTI?
One of the mechanical novelties at the Twelfth Annual Chemical Industries Exposition in Grand Central Palace, New York, is this miniature electrical train that is controlled entirely by the human voice, which spoken into the telephone opens and closes the circuit that controls the motivating power that runs it. Say "go" into the receiver and the train obediently goes. Say "stop" and it stops in its tracks. The mechanism can't be fooled either. Say rapidly, and without taking a breath, "go, stop, back," and the train will just as rapidly do each one, and in their order. (Herbert)

CHICAGO—Only three countries besides the United States have registrations of more than 1,000,000 motor cars. These are England, France, and Canada, according to a bulletin issued here by the American Research Foundation at the opening of what promises to be the greatest motor tourist season in history.
"The United States owes its premier position as an automobile owner not merely to quantity production methods but also to the low price of gasoline and particularly to the case with which gasoline may be obtained anywhere in the country. The cost of motor fuel in practically every other country is much higher and it is more difficult to obtain. The big American petroleum refiners such as Sinclair and Standard have built up a highly developed system of gathering, distributing, and lubricating gasoline and lubricants that serves the nation's motorists with phenomenal efficiency and economy. The system operates so smoothly that the average motorist is scarcely aware of the great organizations necessary to make it function."
"Of 31,929,952 motor cars, buses and trucks in operation throughout the world," says the bulletin, "126 countries exclusive of the United States own 7,435,372, or about one-fourth. The remaining 24,494,380 cars, or three-fourths, are registered in the United States." "Overhelping leadership of the United States in car ownership is shown by the fact that there is one automobile for every 4.9 persons in this country. New Zealand ranks second in the per capita ownership of cars with one automobile to every 9.8

OIHER AIR NEWS.

THE KING RETURNS.
Susi, female gorilla passenger out the Graf Zeppelin, interests the crowd more than the real lady passenger.
Susi slept or rested calmly in her cage, through all the high wind and buffeting.
Froud mar thinks, "Poor Susi, she did not even know she was floating through the clouds in an airship. Man set her sailing, she had nothing to say about it."
What about us, Susi's second cousins? Not one in 10,000 white men realize that he is afloat in space, on an airship, the earth. God set us floating, as Susi's owners set her flying.
It's a wonderful airship that we inhabit, heavier than if made of solid steel, whirling round and round, its slowest speed 1,000 miles an hour, on its axis, its speed around the sun more than 1,500,000 miles a day, 60,000 miles an hour, 1,000 miles a minute.
Ours is a real airship going off through space, somewhere, with the sum. And we know and think as little about our real journey as Susi knew and thought about her trip.
Don't despise Susi.
Human nature is fundamentally good with all its fighting and slaughtering. The French hesitated to let the Zeppelin fly over French territory—too many opportunities for taking photographs, useful in later wars, perhaps.
But when the big ship was in
the water, I sent to
hello. Everyone laughed.
ars were offered, and at this hour, French, and German mechanics are working side by side, putting the big dirigible in order.
Colonel Lindbergh announces regular mail service between New York and Buenos Ayres in eighty hours. Later the line will be extended, and Lindbergh will start the line, as pilot. Marriage, evidently, will not moderate his flying.
Those that oppose the debenture scheme for "farm relief" announce with horror that the "farm bounty MIGRATE cost the Treasury $200,000,000 a year. That wouldn't be much if it gave genuine farm relief.
The trouble is that the "debenture" or bounty plan would add many millions to profits of middlemen who do all the exporting and little if any of the bounty would reach the farmers.
King George has returned to his favorite residence, Windsor Castle, with years of life promised by doctors. Loyal subjects turned out to cheer their king.
Newspapers print his picture headed "Long to Reign Over Us."
The idea that men do not want to be ruled is a mistake. To be ruled is exactly what they DO want, and to be freed from responsibility of self rule.
It is painful for a dog to walk on its hind legs, painful for human beings, to rule themselves and think for themselves.

Mr. Louis I. Jaffe, brainy editor of the Norfolk Virginian Pilot has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for the best editorial written during 1928. It has given especial satisfaction among the colored folks for the reason that it was in condemnation of the crowning evil of this century—lynching. Our people throughout the country will hall him as a legitimate product of this grand old commonwealth. White citizens of his type and ability will yet bring about a revolution in sentiment and cause all classes of citizens irrespective of color to unite in advancing the interests of this great republic or ours.

Dear Sir:
This Department is in receipt of a letter from Inspector W. S. Shelby,
Assistant Superintendent of Police, commanding Detective Bureau, Washington, D. C., relative to one James Jackson, colored.
Inspector Shelby advises that this man was placed on the 9:20 A. M. Atlantic Coast Line train in Washington, on April 15, 1929 for Norlina, N. C., but has not been heard from since.
This man is described as being colored, age 86 years, 5 feet 5 inches tall, weight 160 lbs., brown skin and wore a gray mixed top coat and khaki pants.
Careful intry and search was made throughout Richmond for this man, but without results or information.
We are, therefore, soliciting your assistance in locating this man, if in this city.
Thanking you in advance for whatever publicity you may be able to give to this matter, I am.
Very truly yours,
A. S. Wright, Captain,
Commanding Detective Bureau.

For several days during July of each year the Stoney, Cree and Blood Indians in the vicinity of Banff, Alberta, famous resort in the Canadian Rockies, are permitted to leave their reservation and ride to Banff, where they pitch their picturesque topes in the Elk Picture and proceed to hold carriage and "make whisper" in a manner which would make the average night club entertainment popular. The braves call the country land an odd time Banff, which they receive for the first time—until they are forced to leave.

"TUNE IN"
There is a sweet symphony somewhere; tune in and get it. Yes, that's it—a sweet symphony somewhere; shift your dials until you find it, then sit back and let it into your soul; you will be made better by it.
It's a sad fact that not every noise you hear is a symphony. There are sloppy jazzes and melancholy dirges that afford no up-lift whatever—tune away from them. You have a right to the best there is. 'Aren't you keeping up a perfectly good receiving set?'
But you won't get the best in the world unless you tune in for it. The worst will din your ears if you don't tune it out; it will bore you to death—and keep you looking sour while you live.
I am mighty careful of my receiving set. I feed it, clothe it, house it with jealous care; I never permit it to become rusty or dusty. I give it eight hours of sleep each night; I provide it with at least six hours of heartening toil every working day; that causes it to appreciate the symphonies that are here for the tuning in.
If "static" bothers me, I turn my dials away from it. That's the only way to get rid of it. When I see a sour, repellant face I have to struggle to keep from shouting: "get away from that static!"
Then there's the ballyhoo—the peddlers—that never lay off even on Sunday—in this commercialized age. If I tire of them I tune 'em out. There often good music, though, along with peddlers' program. In fact, there is good in everything, as Shakespeare says, if we just tune in for it.
If this world is to be made better for us, we must try being better ourselves—and tune in for everything that enmobles and enriches the soul.

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 use it on the judge's desk, and sent "Your Honor, I took my test 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 indecency is in my heart, 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:

The following is an extract from 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 nine hundred and twenty-eight, at the said City of Richmond, being then and there armed with a deadly weapon, to-wit: a pistol, in and upon one James Sharpe, unlawfully, feloniously, fully, deliberately and premeditatedly and of malice aforethought did kill and murder against the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth

The trial was set for October 23,
1928, at which Officer Burroughs was
acquitted of first degree murder.
The Times-Dispatch misspelled policeman's name. At the hearing of Rev. G. A. Simuons, 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 politically.
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 place 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 and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on the other 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 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 giveth 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.
"And when He had sent them away, He departed into a mountain to pray. Text selected by REV. W. DAVID WOOD, Pastor Williams' Temple C. M. E. Church, 19th and Everett Sts.

Sunday School Lesson
Abstinence from the use of alcoholic liquor is not merely a twentieth century issue. The incident of the lesson dates back to a pledge that was taken more than 2500 years ago and it is pertinent for study on this quarterly temperance Sunday. The fact that this is also Children's Day, which will be observed in many parts of the world, suggests that by every means this world should be made a safe place for the children to live in. Youngsters grow up in the environment made for them by the adults of the previous generation.
Jonadah, son of Rechab, had his own ideas about the best ways in which to safeguard life. He thought that the cities should be avoided as so much evil centered therein. So he exacted a promise from his immediate kin that they should, with their successors, always live in tents and give up the pursuit of agriculture, which tended toward settling in homes. Then to enable them to live up to the best in themselves he called for a further vow to drink neither wine nor strong drink. Rechab and his followers thus become nomads.
When Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon became the tyrant oppressing Judah it became unsafe to rest anywhere in the open in that vicinity. So the Rechabites of that day sought safety, contrary to their traditions, in the city of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah, by command of God, often presented the teaching to Jewry through an object lesson. He was told to invite these refugees Rechabites to a room on the temple area and there set before them bowls of wine and bid them drink. Here was a test of Jeremiah too, for he was not a man to lead any into ways of evil or to undermine their right principles. The crowd eagerly watched the procession and followed to the rendezvous. They heard, as cups were offered and all bidden to drink the alcoholic beverage, which was contrary to their vows. Jeremiah need not have feared the outcome. These Rechabites did not even draw apart to talk over the situation and consider if it would not be wise to partake under the present circumstances. As a unit they expressed their life-long habit and continuing conviction "We will drink no wine."
While the crowd listened, and doubtless regretted that the invitation had not been extended to them, the prophet made his point by way of instruction from this acted parable. He made it clear that these men thus honored the word and memory of an ancestor, whereas Israel had been totally indifferent to the oft repeated commands of their Jehovah God. There should be greater regard for Him than for the say-so of any human. Again Jeremiah predicted the overthrow of the nation, and Jerusalem was captured about 13 years later.
There is no liver subject in the land today than that of abstaining from alcohol as a beverage. It is still the poison that it always has been and its reactions are constant. Every generation needs to be taught these continuing truths. When they are accepted there will be a greater eagerness to obey the laws on the subject, for these are made only for the protection of the citizen.

Youngsters made for them by the adults of the previous son of Rechab, had his own ideas also to safeguard life. He thought that this so much evil centered therein. So life, in tents and give up the pursuit of a hard settling in homes. Then to enable themselves he called for a further strong drink. Rechab and his follower Nebchadnzerar of Babylon became unaware to rest Babylon because he thus unite to rest on the temple area and then and did them drink. Here was a test not a man to lead any into ways of evin principles. The crowd eagerly watched to the ruddyous. They heard, as cup to drink the alcoholic beverage, that "Jeremiah need not have feared the did not even draw apart to talk over it would not be wise to partake under to a unit they expressed their life-long haw we will drink no wine."

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 seasons, 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 tre Heavenly Father and of loving, self-denying service to men. If it is doing this, it is a good school. If it is not resuming 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.

Tractors used to be built exclusively for the farmer, until city people suddenly discovered that the farm device could serve equally well in the place of horses for hauling, moving material about in factories and supplying motive power for a hundred industrial uses.
But a concession had to be made to the comfort-loving city-bred driver. Big burning rubber tires go onto the wheels when the tractor leaves the farm to find a job in the city. Old pillows and folded grain sacks are not comfortable enough to please the factory chauffeur.

Well, if you want to know what the modern vintner buys—here's the secret out at last. Its sells grapes—to buy more grapes!
At least, more grapes are the chief concern of the vintners of the famous Chanquita Valley of New York, the largest Concord grape vineyard in the world. There the farmers devote the year round to the exclusive cultivation and protection of the prized crop of grapes.

It is a record longer than that of any other living flyer, is president of the Stinson Aircraft Corporation, which has just moved into America's newest airplane factory at the Wayne-Detroter airport. The ten acre manufacturing plant is the last word in a modern airplane factory. It is a light building provides 68,000 feet of floor space.

Concord grapes, recognized the world over as the perfect type for grape-juice, are the ideal crop of the famous field. The industry has developed almost entirely within the past sixty years. Because of ideal conditions of the climate and temperature, the late spring and long golden autumn, the location of the finger of rich glacial deposit along Lake Erie, this Concord grape-field become the most productive in the world.
The great grape industry of New York is the result of the vision of Dr. E. T. Welch, founder of the industry. The Concord grape itself was evolved from more than 2,000 seedlings in Concord, Massachusetts, and is the source of the grape. Dr. Welch after experiments which proved the Concord ideal for unfermented grapejuice, brought the valuable grape-shoots to Westfield. In sixty years, the industry has grown to be one of the greatest in this country.

Chimes of real porcelain balls, both of their kind in the world, are ringing in Melissa, beautiful Saxony town, to mark the passage of five centuries in its life.
Melissa is the first city in Europe to have manufactured porcelain. The fame of its beautiful ware has been maintained so long that the citizens instinctively utilized it when they planned their home town's birthday party. They even erected a porcelain war memorial chapel. The interior is lined with porcelain and the exterior is embellished with large commemorative groups fashioned from the same tough, hard, shining material.
Porcelain's durability, its resistance to corrosion and the ease with which it can be cleaned, with the fact that it does not crack or peel, and is impervious to grime of hot and cold,
Deadline of Feminine
At 30 by Fam
NEW YORK—Thirty is the deadline for youthful beauty.
Whether the modern Venus de Milo grows up to be a young-looking grandmother at seventy, or degenerates at forty into an old-looking young matron depends entirely upon the youth preserving measures she adopts.
The thirtieth year is the most important moment of women, accompanying to Mme. Helena Rubinstein, world famous beauty authority, of London, Paris, and New York.
“What a woman will be at forty, at fifty, depends entirely upon the warding off measures she begins at thirty,” said Mme. Rubinstein. “If she begins then to maintain the girlishness of her figure by proper exercise, with care and cohesion, she keeps her wrinkles from forming about her mouth and eyes, to keep her chin in shape and her hair from losing its pristine lustre, then old age can hold no terror.
"When a woman crosses that me-

In the ABC washing machine laboratories at Pooria, ill., materials from six states and Chile are mixed, put through a smelting furnace, pulverized with other materials including a clay from Germany, and water is added, making a blue "dip" into which the washer tubs are dipped. In an immense furnace this is fused into the metal at 1700 degrees.

ridden, separating the twenties from the thirties, her waist-line automatically begins to thicken, the texture of her skin grows coarse, the gloss dulls on her hair, and fine lines etch themselves on her face. At first, these signs of advancing years are little more than vague suspicions. But each birthday does its part toward deepening them into serious facts. By forty the woman who has refused to take them seriously suddenly discovers herself with that 'old look.' After that it means money, money for expert beauty care and the very finest cosmetics, exercise, worry, time, to regain even the aspects of youth and beauty.
"Beauty science works wonders in children and teenagers. But the woman who launches her youth preserving campaign at thirty enjoys all the breaks. The adopting of warding off measures then, all authorities agree, is the cheapest, easiest and surest way of keeping that schoolgirl beauty, and looking fair, fat and forts at seventy-five."

WHAT HAPPENED
The Sheridan Dramatic Club, of which the Sheridan Dramatic Club, Maryella, the girl he cares for, and Jim Cooper, his rival, are members, start a performance of Pygmalion and Galathea at the Oldiers' Home, and Galathea by the Oldiers' Home, and Sealants Toni Bibble is accused by the husband of one of the actors, Mr. Heningway, of being in love with his wife.
Biting away from the scene of the ill-timed play in their costumes and overcrowds, the group of players is held up by two escaped convicts, one of whom is captured by theugle.
The captured thief is tied to a chair at the Oldiers' Home. Unable to leave the home as the car refuses to move, the play is hearing this over the phone, says he is running right to the home—as he is suspicious of his wife and Bibble. Menwhile the Sheriff arrives.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
He stopped in amazement as he
raw our group.
"You got a lot of prisoners,
nin't you?" he commented.
"These aren't all prisoners," the
colonel explained hastily. "There's
only one."
He led the way to Bill who, trussed
up in his chair, had fallen asleep
peacefully.
The entire situation was ex-
plained to the sheriff while he peeled
off a layer or two of clothing
and revealed himself as a small
old man, with wutterfly blue eyes and
considerable foliage in front of his
face. His beard was white, except
where it was stained with tobacco-
"If you don't mind," said the sheriff, "we won't go back until morning. It's storming so hard out now that I doubt if we could get through. I'll just put my horse in the stale."
"You can't," said the colonel. "The stale is burnt up."
A compromise was effected by quartering the horse in the cellar. As it happened, there was an outside runway leading to the basement, down which supplies were usually wheeled in trucks. After considerable persuasion the horse was induced to negotiate this and was tied to a post in one of the small storerooms below.
That done, the colonel assigned us quarters for the night. Fortunately, there were enough vacant rooms so that each of the ladies could have an apartment, while we men were billed on cots in the general dormitory, where most of the veterans slept.
Mrs. Hemmingway refused to resture until her husband came. I offered to sit up with her, but she declined vhemently.
"You know what John would think if he found you and me sitting up alone together," she explained.
I agreed with her heartily, so we fixed a good warm fire in the stove and left her alone to welcome her spouse. It would be only a few hours until morning, and I did not bother to undress, but threw myself exhausted, on my cot.
I did not sleep. The storm outside was making a continuous racket around the caves and corners of the building that nearly drowned the chromatic snores of the veterans.
I receivedement of the evening still kept my blood racing and my nerves at high tension. I listened for the opening of the door which would indicate that Mr. Hemmingway had arrived.
The sonorous slumbers of our country's ex-defenders began to fray my temper. What right had everybody to sleep while I struggled in vain to woo Morpheus?
I might have become accustomed to a regular snore, but there was one—Comrade Pilk Hewether, for a dollar—who gurgled in his sleep. The exasperating part about it was that he didn't do it all the time. Only occasionally above the diapason of his fellows came this unicurly gurgle, as if dishwater were disappearing down a sink. I tried to calculate the interval between explosions, and finally thought I had him timed to twenty-eight seconds. Then he fooled me by missing on one cylinder and remaining quiet a full minute. It was almost a relief when he burst forth again.
Something had disarranged his timer, for he became erratic from now on, sometimes firing twice in succession and sometimes falling me for two and three revolutions at a time. His compression was wonderful. The trouble was in his spark. I last my brain grew curdled with futile exasperation. I may have dozed, or possibly I had a fever delirium. I don't know. Anyway, it was not a refreshing sleep that came to me and it was crowded with nightmares. Suddenly I opened my eyes and listened intently to a new sound that had been beating against my exdrudge for several minutes dur-

ing my doze. A series of irregular teppings, accompanied by a low moaning, became audible above the steady roar of the storm. My relaxed nerves became alert once more.
What was it?
The irregular thumping was repeated. It sounded far away, and yet strangely near, as if it might be in the walls of the building. Was it quiet rapping?
I had never believed in such things, but then I had never had

proof of any kind to convince me. One hair-rising supernatural incident will make a spiritualist of anybody.
A sudden sound of some one strangling made me sit up in bed. This last was in the room, so I soon decided that it was my friend the eccentric snorer, who quite by accident had hit upon a new specialty: the thumpings and moanings continued. I threw off the covers and got out of bed, determined to investigate. I had no matches—there were no pockets in my tights; but I felt my way to the door, barking my shins only once on an iron cot.
Faintly came a cry for help.
I made haste. I am a chivalrous fool; no one ever yells for assistance without getting it from me. I rush in blindly where even angels would pause to put on gloreses.
I stumbled down the stairs. Came again the faint cry:
it. was Mrs. ^Henningway's voice.
I peered in at the door of the great living-room, which was faintly illuminated by a single oil-lamp on the table—the electric current was supplied only until one oclock, it chill with the penetrating cold of a winter's morning when the fires have reached their lowest ebb.
Mrs. Hemmingway was walking up and down frantically screaming, "Help!" every time the thumping and moaning would reoccur.
Suddenly she saw me as I advanced out of the darkness. As she did an almost articulate cry of desperate fear escaped her lips and she pitched forward.
I jumped quickly enough to catch her. She had fainted.
While I looked around anxiously for a place to deposit her at full length I became aware of a new sound—a rapping at the front door, too, but a bother about when then I picked up Mrs. Hemmingway bodily and started for the table where the lamp was. In the absence of a couch I could put her on that.
I had nearly reached it when the outer door was flung violently open, admitting a swirl of flying flakes. With them came a gentleman who strode in unannounced. He was wearing a derby hat tied onto his head with a muffler and was otherwise ineffectually bundled against the storm in a black broadcloth overcoat with the collar turned up. On his feet were a pair of snowshoes.
"Good Heavens!" I exclaimed. "Who are you?"
"John Hemmingway, confound you!" he growled, stepping toward me with upraised fist and tripping over his own snowshoes, which he had forgotten he had on.
That gave me a second to place my burden on the long table before he could reach me. Just in time I straightened up to find myself in his gras.
We wrestled back and forth silently. Twice he kicked me in my bruised shin with his snowshoes. The only way I could prevent a repetition of those tactics was to stand on the broad webbing of the shoes myself. As I weighed something over two hundred and effectually anchored him to the floor. While we stood embracing one another in a deadlock a low moan escaped the lips of Mrs. Hemming-way.
"Hadn't you better take care of your wife?" I panted, apprehensive lest she roll on the table.

"You seem to be able and willing to do that," he hissed vindictively. "You home-wrecker!" "You're mistaken," I returned hastily.
"Of course," he sneered. "I didn't walk in just now and find her in your arms at four o'clock in your morning! I only thought it was you! In reality it was some one else and you were up in your own room here."
To emphasize his remarks he hauled off with his right arm, which

hem came a gentleman.
I had carelessly allowed to escape me, and belted me energetically in the ear.
I don't know what might have happened further between us had we not been separated by a willing assortment of half-dressed old gentlemen.
Stop the racket! shouted the short displaying his star conspicuously. "I represent the law and order around here and I'm going to have peace!"
I was dragging off from Hemmingway's snowshoes. We stood glaring at one another. It is impossible instantly to forget a ringing blow on the ear. I find, even if it is delivered by a very good friend. On his side I suppose that his resentment toward me was at least partially justified by appearances.
It was hard to think of those things just then, however, and as a matter of fact, I didn't.
"Good morning, Mr. Hemmingway," greeted Jim Cooper, arriving in what I thought at first was an abbreviated sleeping-garment, but which I later discovered was his Greek tunic. "Glad you got here at last. Why—what the deuce—?" His glance had rested on the prostrate form of Mrs. Hemmingway.
"Mrs. Hemmingway fainted," I explained. Oh! I see," he considered thoughtfully, "I suppose it's all for the best. I imagine that is the only way any one could get any rest in this institution."
Evidently Jim had noticed the snoring too.
Mrs. Hemmingway opened her beautiful blue eyes.
"Oh, John!" she exclaimed joyfully as she recognized her husband even in a derby hat and snowshoes.
He made no move to respond to the entreaty in her voice.
"Why, what's the matter?" she pleaded.
"You know very well," he returned savagely. "When I arrived I found you in Tom Bilbèc's arms."
"Me?" she said interrogatively. "Impossible. It must have been Maryella you saw."
"It was not," hastily disclaimed a voice in the rear of the group.
My heart sank. I was in hopes that I would be spared Maryella's participation in this scene.
"I don't know what happened!"
Mrs. Hemmingway went on, slightly bewildered, "but I'm sure that I can explain everything."
While they were talking the floor trembled violently and there was a muffled crash beneath us. Soon followed a prolonged breaking of glass as if a brick chimney had fallen through a skylight.
Conjecture was superfluous. The disturbance was in the basement. We piled down by the inside stairway. Some one had been thoughtful enough to bring the lamp from the table. By its light we discovered a wreck that impoverishes description. The post to which we had tied the sheriff's horse was torn out bodily and tatter of shelves contained several hundred glass jars of fruit which was supported by the post had collapsed and slid its burden to the cement floor.
The horse, whinnying continually to himself, had retreated to a corner of the basement followed by the unrooted post.

One of the most attractive arrangements for summer is, of course, the feminized node which is so delightful for the very young, charming for the not so young, and gracious indeed to the matron who is not young at all. For the very young it can be achieved by soft waves, distractingly impudent tight curls, and even soft feminine bangs on the forehead arranged—if you please—with the skill and art of a master! For the matron chignon and transformation are very much the vogue.
One coifure that is extremely attractive for the slender, youthful type is that wherein the hair is parted in the center, worn with bangs very slightly curving on the forehead and having a soft side wave terminating in blunt ends which are brought forward on the cheek. Pointed ends are slowly going out. General usage has killed them for the smart woman.

An interesting although somewhat radical hair arrangement is already much seen in Paris and is beginning to take hold in New York and other cosmopolitan centers. It resembles nothing so much as a cock's comb of massed curls down the center of the head from front to back. I can hardly recommend this as a style for general use, but perhaps as an occasional evening collure it may be very effective.

Hints
for the
home
by Nancy Hart
Have you ever thought of the var-
led uses to which you might put your
odd pieces of sterling silver, aside
from their customary service?
Salt cellars of the open type make
charming clip or stamp holders for
the desk.
A sandwich tray—that is, a round one—can be used as an ice cream dish, a dessert dish, for salads or for fruit. And this is likewise true of the berry bowl which is used these days for vegetables, salads, ice creams and many other foods. Coasters of the old English design with heading across the top can be put to excellent use as ash trays. That is, of course, when not holding their proper decanters. These are just a few of the many ways in which to get double service from sterling which, to yield fullest returns on its investment, should be used every day of its

A permanent memorial to the deeds of 108 brave men from the nine states on the Chicago and North Western Railway system who fell in the World War was recently dedicated in the Chicago terminal of that railway and accepted by Fred W. Sargent, president of the road.
The memorial, a bronze tablet bearing the names of employees who went across, but failed to come back was placed in the southwest corner of the building. A constant reminder of the valor of these men to the thousands of travellers from all over the United States who pass through this terminal daily.
Mr. Sargent, in accepting the gift, likened the spirit of the dead to the spirit as expressed in John McCaine's immortal poem, "In Flanders Fields."

It is said for the average man doing fairly muscular work the day's food supply should contain: 1¼ lbs. bread or its equivalent in cereals; 2 lbs. or other fat 2 oz. sugar; 1¼ lbs. fresh fruit and green vegetables; 12 oz. of food from the meat or meat-substitute class, such as meat, poultry, eggs, fish, milk and dried 8 ounces, peas, lentils, etc.
Escalloped Egg Plant
A well-known chef's recipe uses 1 egg plant peeled and cut in small pieces and cooked in boiling water for 15 minutes; drain, add ¼ cup chopped saffron, a little gritated onion, 2 tbs. chopped green pepper and 1¼ cups white sauce. Put in buttered baking dish, cover with buttered crumbs and bake in moderate oven for 35 minutes.
Small White Cake
Whites of 3 eggs, 1½ cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1¼ cup milk (scant), 1¼ cup butter, 1 rounding spoon baking powder. Mix as for the usual white cake.
Cleans Window Shades
White window shades may be cleaned with magnolia. Spread a sheet on floor, unroll shade and with a soft cloth scrub the shade with magnolia and water. After treating one side turn and clean the other side in the same way.
Wipe the iron with a cloth wet with kerosene to prevent scorch. To remove scorch, place articles in sun or rub chlorine water into the spot with a linen rag.
Home-Made Furniture Polish
One of the best polishes known can be made by combining 3 parts olive oil or sweet oil with 1 part vinaigrette, parts lined oil and 1 part turpentine also makes a good polish.

and urged that the living members of the legion carry on with the same great spirit that caused their comrades to give their lives for the United States.
The tablet was a gift to the railway from the 268 members of the Chicago and North Western legion post and was presented to the road by W G. Burns, organizer of the post. Mr. Burns' daughter, Mary Blossom Burns, pulled the ribbons to unveil the tide.
Old time fighters joined with the new in honoring these men at the ceremonies, for Judge F. W. Seymour of Maywood, Ill., 93 years old and oldest Illinois G. A. R. veteran and Col. W. P. Turner of Evanston, Ill., 84 year old veteran, took part at the dedication.
