Leroy Frayser, for Alienation of His Wife's Affections VOLUME XLVI, NO. 30 ISAAC Armstrong High School Senior Class 1929 An automobile presumably going at high speed going east on Baker Street overturned at St. James Street. Isaac Lee a colored man was driving the car at the time and in it were two companions who escaped without injury. Lee was found pinned under the car and he had one hand in his pocket at the time of the accident. His head was mashed flat by the impact and he never knew what happened. James Jones had hired the car from an auto-renting concern on Broad Street and it was standing on Sixth Street when Lee drove away with it to what pelted to be his last ride. Coroner James M. Whitfield examined the body and turned it over to W. I. Johnson Sons that firm having a hearse on hand ready to remove it. The orgy of tragedies and injuries among colored people here is appalling. It is ascribed to whiskey despite the unceasing raids being made by Sergeant Dulling and his "bootleg squad." R, Sanford Durrette, age 32 year, and B.

Louise was on trial in the Hustings Court, Part II Judge Ernest H. Welis presiding and resulted in a verdict of Five Hundred Dollars. Counsel for Frayser. Attorneys T. Dix Sutton and F. A. Roshm made a motion to set aside the verdict. This motion was continued, no date being set for the hearing upon the same. Attorney Thomas I. Tally represented the plaintiff. Waller. UNPRINTABLE EVIDENCE The suit was filed April 17, 1929. The evidence adduced is unprintable. In the motion for judgment there are two counts both practically the same and setting forth the times and places where Frayer met Waller's wife for immoral purposes. These places were Waller's home during the absence of Waller and Frayer's home during the absence of his wife. Frayer in his answer denies any wrong doing with Mrs. Waller... THE WIFE'S CONFESSION In Mrs. Waller's letter to Frayser she tells of her improper conduct in detail and gives as her reasons for deserting Frayser; that she had become sorrow stricken and suffered remorse. She had been dangerously ill and suffered much as a result of one of her escapades and had made up her mind to confess to her hus- band. She charged Frayser with having deserted her in the hour of her dire distress and having caused her to lose the respect of her husband. SNAP-SHOT PHOTOGRAPHS ... Snap-shot photographs of Rev. Frayser and Mrs. Waller during their cutouts appear in evidence. Frayser says that Mrs. Waller was frightened into making the accusations against him. A letter appears in evidence, in which he writes to Alonzo C. Waller assuring him that Louise his wife was a good woman and had not been guilty of any wrong-doing with him. This did not satisfy Waller in the face of Mrs. Waller's confession and the suit was the result and the Five Hundred Dollar judgment awarded Wednesday June 12, 1929.

Terry Ginkison This Week By Arthur Brisbane LONG LIFE TO THEM. DOWN GOES WHEAT. WHAT WILL LABOR DO? MACHINERY PLUS POWER. You hope that "the" young couple will live a very happy, and everybody knows that you mean Colonel Lindbergh and his wife. There is happiness in being well known, and well lived for good reasons, and young Lindbergh possesses it. Without exception, the entire world wishes him well. The price of wheat dropped to 97% cents some days ago. Lowest price since 1914. For the Federal Reserve and the combined forces of usury to attack stock values makes no difference. Only wicked gamblers buy stocks. But the conduct of the Federal Reserve will attract President Hoover's attention, if wheat, cotton and other farm products continue dropping. It is embarrassing to take office on a "save the farmer" platform and find that your Federal Reserve is hitting the wheat and cotton growers on the head. Labor appears to have won the British election. British labor is socialistic, much of it communistic, but of mild communism. Imagine the panic in dear old Wall Street and the well organized financial mind if Labor and Socialism controlled the government of this country. But the British will manage. They "muddle through" because they have common sense and British Labor has honest, intelligent leaders. Ramsay MacDonald is as good a man as there is in Britain, although not as great or able a statesman as Lloyd George. The motto of the Pacific Coast seems to be: "If you haven't got a thing, get it." The city of Stockton, the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys can produce enough food to feed a great part of the world. But the place needs a harbor for ships, and will have it. Stockton, the State of California and the Federal Government this year will dig a deep water channel to the sea, and Stockton will have a harbor "big enough to hold 90 per cent of the ships that come through the Golden Gate." No one knows what the future of the Pacific Coast will be, or what the size or inland harbors built will be, wherever men want them. Mr. George E. Moore of No. 52 Vanderbilt avenue, New York City, can tell about an electric shovel that digs fifteen cubic yards of earth at one bite. You can dig out another Lake Michigan with a tool like that.

SATURDAY.....JUNE 15 1929 It costs money to publish a news paper but some of the folks in this country do not seem to think so. if you are to judge by the slow manner in which they pay. It would be well to remember when you are greatly worried that "God rules in the affairs of men that in the lives of all of us destiny holds sway. . . . Those colored folks hereabouts whose "mouths have been watering" to vote for some of these liberal minded Democrats will now have the privilege of so doing. It is a good thing that Judge D. Lawrence Groner has no aspirations to run for public office. He could be elected by both white_e and colored citizens "with a whoop". ..... Judge Gronov's decision in the case of James O. West, the Negro Democrat is "mighty interesting" reading affecting as it does the Republican Party also. The leaders of that Party will not be able to "slam the door" of the Republican Party in the faces of the Negro Re publicans any more than leaders of the Democratic Party will be able to do this same thing with the Negro Democrats. It is a sword that cuts both ways "Glory Hallelujah!" The elections in South Africa took place this week and the issue on according to the natives the right to vote was bitterly contested. The result as far as ascertained shows that the present government which opposed the suffrage for Negroes, has been overthrown and the political party led by General Jan Smuts has been overwhelmingly successful. "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but exceeding fine". Thirteen Republican "kickers" combined with the Democrats in the United States Senate in defeating the farm relief legislation as proposed by the Republican leaders backed by all the influence and power of the Hoover Administration. Export debentures, that is the payment of a subsidy upon foreign goods exported from this country was the issue. President Hoover is opposed to it. At the dinner given in Washington Monday, June 10th in honor of the newly named chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, Mr. Jouett Shouse, Mr. John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic National Committee announced that he would not resign this position. The meeting was a success and emphasized the throttle hold that Hon. Alfred E. Smith of New York has upon the organization in this country. It means that the only reason that Mr. Smith will not be the candidate of the Party in 1932 will be because of his positive refusal to accept the nomination. Those people who bolted the Party will be required to stay off the reservation for a long time. No other conclusion can be drawn from the speeches delivered in this meeting. Judge Groner The opinion is as follows: In the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District A. C. Billey, William Boltz, and William Ricker, Defendants. At Law=No. 795. **Memo Overruling the Demurrer** The declaration alleges that the plaintiff is a citizen of the United States and resides in the first precinct of Madison Ward in the city of Richmond, Virginia. That the first two above named defendants were the duly appointed judges and the last named the duly appointed clerk at a primary election held in the city of Richmond on the 3rd of April, 1928, for the purposes of nominating candidates on the Democratic ticket for mayor, councilman, and alderman. That the plaintiff, who is a Negro, was on that day a male citizen of the United States, over twenty-one years of age, in all respects qualified to vote in the ensuing general election, and that he was and had been for some time past a bona fide member of the Democratic party of the State of Virginia. To Recover Damages 10 Recoil The action is brought to recover damages for the refusal by the defendants to permit the plaintiff to vote in the above mentioned primary solely because he was a Negro. Defendants have filed a demurrier to the declaration. This raises the question whether the action of the defendants in excluding the plaintiff from voting was an infringement of the rights guaranteed to him by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Federal Constitution. The action is brought under Section 43 of Title 8 of U. S. C. A. Virginia Constitution Section 36 of the Constitution of Virginia provides as follows: virginia provides an exception. "The General Assembly shall enact such laws as are necessary and proper for the purpose of securing the regularity and purity of general, local and primary elections, and preventing and punishing any corrupt practices in connection therewith; and shall have power, in addition to other penalties and punishments now or hereafter prescribed by law for such offences, to provide that persons convicted of them shall thereafter be disqualified from voting or holding office." Pursuant to this authority the General Assembly of Virginia provided (Code 1924, Chapter 15, Section 221) a comprehensive plan in relation to primary elections, providing therein for participation by any political party which shall at the preceding presidential election have polled at least one-fourth of the total vote cast in such election. Applies to All Nominations The provisions of this chapter apply to the nominations of all candidates for office to be nominated by a direct primary. The right is granted to the party authorities of any political party qualified to participate in such a primary, to adopt some other method for the nomination of candidates for office, but when participation in the direct primary is decided when the same is to be held, the conduct of same, the appointments of judges and clerks, the method of holding the election and renaming the ballots, the appointment of commissioners to canvass votes, the duty of the State Board of Canvassers in relation to clearing the result, the provision for securing order at the place of the prevention of frauds in the election, are all provided for in like manner as in the general election, including provision for the payment of the expenses of holding and conducting the primary, payment of judges and clerks of election, furnishing necessary stationery and supplies, rent of polling places, furnishing and distributing ballot boxes and poll books, in the same way and to the same extent as in a general election. Section 228 provides who may vote and includes "all persons qualified to vote at the election for which the primary is held, and not disqualified by reasons of other requirements in the law of the party to which he belongs" (Italics added.) It further provides that no person shall vote except for the candidates of the party to which he belongs and which he supported in the preceding election. The declaration alleges and the demurrer admits that the plaintiff was excluded from voting in the direct primary because of a resolution adopted by the State Democratic Convention in 1924, pursuant to the authority of the Statute, declaring that only white persons should participate in a Democratic primary. Admission of Counsel Counsel for defendants admit, as of course they must, that a statute of a State which attempted to exclude Negroes from voting in a Democratic primary would be in conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution (Nixon v. Herndon, 273 U. S. 536), but insist that the discrimination against the plaintiff complained of here was the act of an individual or a group of individuals acting as such, and therefore not within the purview of the Federal Constitution. History and Circumstances The history and circumstances of the adoption of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution have no place in this discussion. For the present it is sufficient to point out that the Fourteenth Amendment determines that persons born in or naturalized according to law are citizens of the United States and of the State where they reside. That no State shall abridge the privileges and immunities of any citizen or deny him protection of the United States it argues that no law shall be made or ordered to diminish any one of the privileges and immunities of the people of the United States, and it directs Congress to adopt such laws as may be necessary to enforce the amendment. As construed by the Supreme Court (Civil Rights Cases, 109 U. W. 3: James v. Bowman, 190 U. W. 127), the first section of the Amendment is a prohibitory measure and its prohibitions operate against States and not against private persons. The Point at Issue The point, therefore, on which this case'turns is whether the act of the election officers—the defendants—was THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA an official act or a personal act, that is to say, was in the performance of a duty enjoined on them by statute or was merely individual and personal and authorized by a right inherent in the political organization to which they belong. Defendants say that the latter is the correct view. That affiliation with a political party is not a matter of right but of party regulation and that the legislature as such has no authority to fix standards or qualifications of membership. Griglsy v. Harris, 27 F (2d) 942. They say in effect that there is no legal ban on the formation of a political party based wholly on color or on religious belief or on sex or any other standard which the party chooses to adopt, and that because of this, the General Assembly of Virginia in recognizing the right made no delegation of power but only recognized the existence of the power where it has always resided. There can be no doubt, at least so far as the State of Virginia is concerned, that a political party may refuse to avail itself of the privileges of the direct primary and may nominate candidates to be voted for in a general or special election in any of the ways in which such nominations are made before the introduction of the primary. Candidates for public office may be made such by petition, by action of a caucus, or by convention. Indeed they may be nominated in primary conducted by the party under its own rules and at its own expense. But if because of the greater safeguards which the law throws around a legalized primary, or because in such case the expense is borne by the State, a party elects to adopt this method of naming its candidates for public office, it may do so and still preserve the absolute right to determine who shall participate, is a much more delicate question. A Modern Proposition The primary as a means of naming candidates for a place on the official ballot is comparatively modern. Its spread in the last quarter of a century has been steady and it is today in practically every State the exclusive method adopted by the two great political parties for the nomination of candidates for office, State and Federal. Its growth and adoption as a vital part of the election system arose because of the importance to the public to "give vitality to the constitutional guaranty of a free and untrammeled ballot." Judge Keith Language This paraphrase may not be better stated than repeating the language of Judge Keith in Commonwealth v. Willcox, 111 Va., page 859, as follows: "We know, as a matter of common knowledge, that the purpose of holding a primary election is to select a candidate to be voted for by a party organization at the ensuing general or special election. We know that the person selected at the primary election to be voted for at the general or special election will receive the votes of the members of the party which he belongs and which the primary is held, and if both political organizations, or all political organizations, into which a community is divided, held primary elections, it necessarily follows that the person at the primary becomes the nominee of his party to be voted for at the general election, and that one of the primary nominees will ultimately be elected to the office. "In other words, the primary when adopted by a political party becomes an inseparable part of the election machinery, and if a candidate to be voted for at the general election is to be selected at a primary, it is impossible to secure the regularity and purity of the general election without in the first place guarding against irregularity and fraud at the primary election. The primary election constitutes a necessary part and fulfills a critical function in the plan to promote honesty in the conduct of elections—elections which shall faithfully reflect and register the unbought will of the electors. "If there be fraud in the primary election, which is the very root from which the whole system of regulation springs, it is vain to regulate the conduct of general elections, for the fraud by which the nominee at the primary election is chosen enters into and is an inerable constituent in the result. However fair the general election may be, if at that election men have no choice but to vote for candidates who have been nominated by fraudulent practices at primaries, or else to desert their party, which would be in most instances but to throw away their votes without achieving any good result. the effect of the election must be the consummation of a fraud and the defeat of the will of the people, for 'of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble, bush gather they grapes.' "We are of opinion that section 122-0 is not only cognate and german to, congruous with and in furtherance of the object expressed in the title of chapter 10 of the Code, which fully satisfies the requirements of the Constitution, without resort to any liberality of construction, but that primary elections in their nature have such a relation to and bearing upon general elections, that the omission to bring them within the law would have left the plan devised by the legislature for securing the regularity and purity of elections wholly obviative and ineffectual." What the Supreme Court Said In Nixon v. Herndon, supra, the Supreme Court said that "the same reasons that allow a recovery for denying the plaintiff a vote at a final election allow it for denying a vote at the primary election that may determine the final result," and in construing a statute of Texas providing that "in no event shall a Negro be eligible to participate in a Democratic Party primary held in the State of Texas, etc.," declared the statute an infringement of the Fourteenth Amendment. Dodging the Issue The statute of Virginia, unlike that of Texas, does not in terms exclude the Negro, but gives to the party participating the right to do so. The result is the same. The legislature, pursuant to constitutional authority, having undertaken to regulate primary elections and to authorize them to be held at the public expense and to provide the same rules and regulations applicable to an election, may not indirectly any more than it may directly exclude a duly qualified voter who declares himself to be an adherent to the party participating in the hair soft and silky.

Milady's Beauty Secrets By Helena Rubinstein And long, long may the maidens sit We their grand homes in their hair, A-waiting for their aim dear lowest For them they'll see no mair. Once upon a time a woman had a comb and she had a brush and she had a mirror—and tucked away in the tip drawer of her dresser there was a far little brown bundle of kid carvers which she tortured her hair into an exaggerated curl, a curl that rarely escaped plain "friziness." That was hair grooming a decade ago. But ten years change minds and habits, characters and customs, and to-day Milady has a set of military brushes (if she is wise), a magnifying mirror (if she is careful) and a permanent wave (if she is really up to the time). On her dresser there is always a bottle of tonic, a deity shimmer which holds her brilliantism, and in her bathroom cabinet the real secrets of her hair beauty are carefully tucked away. What are they? First her shampoo for all beauty depends most upon absolute cleanliness. The modern woman no more thinks of rubbing a cake of soap upon her hair than she does of washing it with benzene. And before we go further into the intricacies of modern hair grooming, I want to tell you something about washing your hair.

But ten years change habits and habits, characters and customs, and to-day Milady has a set of military brushes (if she is wise), a magnifying mirror (if she is careful) and a permanent wave (if she is really up to the times).

What are they? First her shampoo, for all beauty depends most upon absolute cleanliness. The modern woman no more thinks of rubbing a cake of soap upon her hair than she does of washing it with benzene. And before we go further into the intricacies of modern half-grooming, I want to tell you something about washing your hair. When you wash your hair, learn to depend on the strength of your fingers more than upon the quality of the shampoo. If hands are soiled, you scrub them; soaking, unless it is the hour, will not remove embedded dirt. If it does not work with the hands, why expect it to do so with the hair? The scape needs cleaning just as much as does the hair itself, and surface-bathings of soap are not sufficient. So after the hair has been wet with warm water, rub your shampoo well into the hair roots using the TPS of your fingers, not the combined parts. Do not be afraid of a little energy. The scape is quite sufficiently resistant as it is. All your shampoo will not do more than awaken it to healthful and method—and that SHOULD be done anyway. It is not necessary to laffier four times, as the young lady did to About a month ago I was in a small town in the middle west. The shower in my bathroom was not in working Selen. nor did I have an adequate spray, so I determined to try the local dresser for a ophthalmic needed shampoo. L. J.

But I would like to mention a few little points that cause to mind as my hair was being most frequently treated. When you wash your hair, learn to depend on the strength of your fingers more than upon the quality of the shampoo. If hands are soiled, you scrub them; soiling, unless it is by the hour, will not remove embedded dirt. If it does not work with the hands, why expect it to do so with the hair? The scalp needs cleansing just as much as does the hair itself, and careful washing of soap are not sufficient.

The opinion, handed down by Associate Justice Vandevant, held that the silence of white Shriners for many years barred them from restraining the Negroes. The suit was begun in 1918 in a Texas State court by Shriners in Houston against the local temple of the Negro order. Texas Supreme Court Reversed The Texas Supreme Court granted an injunction. In reversing the judgment Justice Vandevant said: "There is no evidence of a fraudulent intent on the part of the Negro order or of a purpose on its part to induce any one, whether Mason or non-Mason, to believe that it was the white order or that they were parts of the same fraternity. On the contrary, it is shown that the Negro Order always held itself out as entire v distinct from the white order, and as open only to members of the negro Masonic fraternity. True, there was much imitation, but this is shown to have been in the nature of emulation rather than false pretenses." Had Knowledge Had Knowledge Pointing out that "it" is established that from the beginning the white order had knowledge of the existence and initiative acts and practices of the Negro order," the opinion says, the "evidence indubitably shows that with such knowledge the white order silently stood by for many years while the negro order was continuing its imitative acts and practices, and was establishing new lodges, enlarging its membership, ac- A HEARTY WELCOME Mt Carmel A HEARTY WELCOME AWAITS YOU AT Mt Carmel Bapt.

"It also is shown by the uncontricted testimony of several witnesses—one a life member of the white order—that a large proportion of the copied paraphernalia, regalia, emblems and insignia used by the Negro order, its lodges and members, was purchased from or through members of the white order, and that in one instance a lodge of that order, preparatory to moving the lodges, sold the paraphernalia and regalia used in the old quarters to a lodge of the Negro order in the same city."

Church BLACK, PASTOR Night Services Baptist Young Peoples Union 1914 and in Arkansas a few year later. "But these objections came too late" he said, "to overcome or weaken the force of the conduct of the white order during the thirty years preceding the earlier of the two suits. After that period of inaction and seeming acquiescence, it was too late to resuscitate the original exclusive right for which the white order is now contending. "What we have said of the evidence demonstrates, as we think, not only that there was obvious and long continued laches on the part of the white order, but also that the circumstances were such that its laches barred it from asserting an exclusive right, or seeking equitable relief, as against the Negro order." Sunday School Lesson Singing has a fundamental place in worship. The Psalms were the song book of the Hebrews, and at times the rendition was most elaborate. As the pilgrims went up to Jerusalem for the various feasts they would sing in worship en route. Selections especially used at such times were the Hallel, Psalms 113-118. In some churches in Scotland and congregations derived therefrom in America all songs are paraphrases of the Psalms. This 103rd Psalm is a special favorite for the commission table. Great choruses were used by the Hebrews in their worship in praise. Much was made of antiphonal singing, where two choruses would be used, answering the other or giving a chorus-like refrain at the end of each verse. Only 13 verses are indicated for the lesson study but all 22 should be read repeatedly. In fact the omission of any verse from a song in our school singing gives an incomplete presentation of the poet's thought. This Psalm is one of the many that should be committed to memory. Note that there are many verses as in the Hebrew alphabet. If you want the names of those letters turn to Psalm 119, where they are given in each of its 22 sections. Thanksgiving must be expressed by anyone who will take the time to think over the abounding merces that are renewed each day. We should not take such recurring special benefits for granted but think back to the Source. The Psalm has been predicated over the many joys and beginnings that were his. Then he breaks forth in beginning "Bless the Lord, O my soul." He rightly calls upon his entire self to give praise to the Bestower of All, Whom he calls by name. Much is lost in trying to maintain a cheerful mental attitude by forgetting the endless number of good things that have come our way. Such beauties help greatly in passing lightly over the addressing things which also are a part of our daily life. Seven is called the perfect number. Read through these selected verses again and you will find that many great reasons for rejoicing as the Throne of Grace, "Count your many blessings. Name then one by one, and you will change from the minor key of compiling to the major, in which you will "Count it all for." In your daily prayer life cultivate the habit of praise and thanksgiving together with confession of sin before you begin to ask the Lord for still more grace. Forgiveness is repeatedly indicated in this Psalm. Our sins, when shoerely confessed, are removed "as far as the cast is from the weas." Instead of destruction, that is justly ours, because of the wrong things we have willfully persisted in doing, we are crowned with "loving-kindness and tender mercies." In place of the unrest of one who is unrushed to Jehovah we are satisfied in Him and we continue to live the hopeful life of youth. In the Lord is one Who must be held in fear by the wrong doer. His missions are for the sake of chastisement rather than for punishment. A person who has never been restrained is a menace to so many others to himself. The gentleness of parents is a type of the strength of those who hold Him's house and seek to live in record with His love will.

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 standardd. There is only one su- supreme test of a gool 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.

WHITE LADIES TESTIFY The case of Rose Leigh Anderson, 1209 North First Street, attracted much attention. She was charged with stealing a dress, valued at $10, from the Kaufmann Co. No representative of the company appeared and the case went over; but two white ladies, for whom Rose had worked, testified to her good character. One of them stated that she had known her ever since she was born. The one with whom she stays now said that she was absolutely honest, had no need to steal, as she was saving and had money when arrested. A white gentleman who accompanied the ladies was equally as positive. They told Judge Haddon that they would return to appear in her behalf at any time. Their testimony created a profound impression.

DRUENA Teeth Installment WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE The Serbian Draconic Tom Tomic, of Massachusetts, their cares for, and Jim Cooper, his crew, are members, start a performance of Cymbalian and other bands, but are interrupted by a fire. During the rehearsals Tom Billboe is accused by the husband of one of the actors, Mr. Hemingway, of being in love with his NOW GO OR WEEK THE STORY. Connie Davenberth saw that he was not required as a conversational aide and he left us silence. "I want to bug your pardon for not smiling to you at breakfast." Mrs. Lillelove went on nervously. "Of course I couldn't before everybody. You understand, don't you Mr. Biliotee that my social position as the wife of the most prominent undertaker and embalmer in town makes it impossible for me to do anything openly that might be talked about?" I assured her absently that I understood. What was she driving at? "But beneath my calm, conventional overlord," she went on. "I am terribly remarkable! I am very broad, and al- though the world may flow you for loving another man's wife. I do not cure you." Oh, Mr. Billbeck, you nightly man!" I caused to observe the effect of concern. Mrs. Lillielow left me to dis- declaration. This two-hun- dle Venus had seen in me a man and was secretly envious of I. Hemmingway as the supposed re- ceipt of my attentions. The poor nut! What a fool situation it was. Probably no man within a radius of a hundred miles was less carable of being a gay dececeiver than I, and yet entirely without effort on my part I was thrust into a stellar part in a betamemeron romance. How could I clear myself and be- come what I had been yesterday, a good mature child, conventionally in love with the mostest girl in the world? CHAPTER X. SKIS VS. SNOWSHOES The morning train left at eleven o'clock. The colonel had telephoned the local liveryman to send rigs for our party. The sheriff determined to halt and go in after we had broken one trail. While we were waiting for the teams to come Comrade Henwether played the phonograph for us. Owing to his affliction his choice of records was nothing extra. Most of the melodies were very ancient and many were cracked. Evidently the Home got its records from the same source as its magazines. Everyone was anxious to get away. As the time approached for the rigs to come the women folk got on their wraps and sat around expectantly near the door so as not to keep us waiting. Maryella had spoken to me when she came from the room. "I suppose ought to congratulate you," she told me. Although I guess I don't know just what one does say to a man who wins the love of a married woman." "What are you talking about?" I demanded roughly. "Why, Jim has just told me that he fixed it all up for you," she explained, innocently enough. "He says it is all for the best, because otherwise Mr. Hemmingway would probably have not you." "Maybe he will anyway," I added bloomily. What pleasure it would be to pay a fine for assault and battery committed on the person of one James Cooper, alias Jim the Fixer! The telephone rang. Every one listened with strained attention while the colonel answered it. "What's that?" he asked after listening a minute. "Can't get through! One of the horses has hurt himself already in a snowdrift? . . . That's too bad. When do you think you can make it? . . . All right." He hung up. "Tm sorry, ladies and gentlemen," he said, turning to our group. "The scrippman says they can't get through to a town. The drifts are six and DXI was deep in shoes and dawn had I was almost upon him. He made a supreme effort—and stumbled. I shut my eyes. to their heart. "What can we do?" wailed Mrs. Lillieloe. "You'll have to stay here until they get the road broken through. They say that they can make it to mowrood if there is no further fall of snow." "But there must be some way of getting through to-day." "Not unless you use snowshoes." We sat in moody silence. As hardly any one was speaking to anyone else. I was almost upon him. He m I shut my eyes. there was not much opportunity for discussion of our situation. Mr. Hemmingway made the first move. "I'm going to town," he declared. "I can't stand it here any longer. I made it once on snowshoes, and I guess I can do it again." "But the snow is deeper now," objected Mrs. Hemmingway, her matronly concern overcoming her anger for the moment. "Thank you just as much for your suggestion," her husband said coldly, "but my going and coming has ceased to be any affair of yours." Mrs. Hemmingway flushed as if she had been scruffy. I half rose as if to defend her. This was observed by the others, who she drew at one another with significant looks as if to say, "See! The covershirt of the woman is thick." "We can't get you alone." Colonel Stewart jacketed when Hemmingway began to bundle up preparatory to leaving. "There is really considerable danger." "Then will someone else go with me?" Mr. Hemmingway surveyed our group with disdain. His attitude signified that he did not think there was a man in the bar of his. "I'll go." I volunteered suddenly. After all, why not? There was nothing to stay for. "You go with me?" Hemmingway questioned derisively. "There is no object in your trying to get me alone. You have already robbed me of the only thing I care for in life." He cast a tragic glance at the dissolving Mrs. Hemmingway. "Don't be unreasonable." Jim Cooper put in his car as usual. "This is all for the best. You ought to be glad to have Tom go with you. If he's with you it is the only way you can be certain that he isn't flirting with your wife." Jim's argument carried undeniable weight with the distracted husband. I could see him ponder it. Although he had cast her off, the idea of his wife taking up with someone else was galling to him. At last he said, "Come on, then, if you're the only one who has the nerve to follow where I lead." Then came the problem of snowshoes. Hemmingway had his hat he had secured in town, but there wasn't another pair in the institution. Finally we dug up some skis which had been by some charitable contributor with a gift of humor. If you never happened to see them, are long strips of sphery wood about four inches wide turned up at one end like a slid runner. If you can navigate them the chances are that you can spell "flord" without breaking the typewriter. The colonial bade is godspaced and directed us on our way. "You can't get loot" he assured us. "It may be hard to follow the road on account of everything being plied deep with snow, but if you bear due cast you'll come out at the village without fall." We started, not rapidly as I have heard that Indians and Norwegians travel across snow-fields, but cautiously and slowly. My skis had a tendency to toge out that was very agravating. Once or twice I had to sit down to argue with them about it. I couldn't follow both of them, and I went with one I had to leave one leg behind. On the few occasions when I deflected them from the outward angle they turned the other way and I got my rumen crossed. "If you're trying to make me laugh," said Mr. Hammingway sarcastically, as I got on and then --- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page snow out of my eyes and ears, "you may as well give up. I am not in the humor for it." I was able to keep still, thanas Heaven, although it would have given me great pleasure to have swamped her with the flat side of a ski. The country round about was sleeping. This is ideal ground, they tell me for ski running. It was fairly low for the Old Soldiers' Home, how ever, for a distance of several miles. made a supreme effort—and stumbled. I was glad of that because it gave me an opportunity to sort of find my ski legs. By the time I could take three steps without tripping or splitting, I considered that I was no longer in the amateur class. My egotism melted away when we came to the first rise. It was a gentle slope, but I found it very difficult to climb. I had to tack or else I found myself slipping backwards. I tried dismounting from the skis, but found that the snow was up nearly to my waist and well-nigh impossible to flounder through. I made it somehow, but Hemming-way on snowshoes beat me to the cress by several minutes. He waited there until I got nearly to the top and then he started down the other side. I gained the summit. It was not very easy. view of the country. Under the snow it was beautiful. A group of his over at the right with branches bound down with a tremendous load of white was a graceful picture. "Come on," yelled Hemmingway, half way over the hill. "We have to catch that train." I wrenched myself away from my contemplation of the beauties of nature and considered the matter of progressing further. I started to walk after him. Soon I was relieved of the necessity of effort. The gentle grade was enough to cause me to slide over the surface of the snow. It was an exhilarating sensation and very restful. I was suddenly glad that I had skis instead of snowshoes. I had been enjoying Hemingwayway the superior traveling qualities of his equipment, but now I could see that the advantage was going to be all my way. While he walked down the hills I would be sliding gracefully and resting myself for the climb up the next one. Wrapped in pleasant introspection I had scarcely noticed that my speed was increasing a little. Now a slight difficulty in balancing called my attention to it. I leaned forward a trifle to restore my equilibrium. As I did so I heard a sharp swishing sound as the runners glided swiftly over the snow. The speed increased. I looked about for some way of slowing up. There seemed to be no brake. It appealed inadvisable to turn sideways as one does on skates in order to stop. Even as I thought, my pace accelerated to such a degree that I abandoned all ideas of doing anything but pray. Directly in my path, proceeding slowly down the hillside, was John Hemmingway. Headed as I was, could not fall to take him. I tried to steer in some other direction. It was no use. I flew toward him as a filling to a magnet. He was blithely unconscious that I was overtaking him. He is a large man and so am I. The result of an impact was terrible to contemplate. I tried to cry out to him, my voice left my dry throat as a harsh chase. The only word I could think of was "Fore." Intuition made him turn around. He must have read in my eyes that I had lost control because he started to scramble hastily out of my way. Horror of horrors, my runners, which had hitherto glided straight, as if on rails, now swerved sharply to one side in the direction which he was going. He saw it and redoubled his efforts to get out of range. With fiendish perversity the skids turned also. I was almost upon him. He made a supreme effort—and stumbled.

Heart-Heart Gall by the John Joseph dames A TRIBUTE The finest example of military courtesy I ever have heard of, the most touchingly beautiful, was when the allied commanders conferred on Marshall Ferdinand Foch, the leadership over all the mighty hosts rushing to the defense of the great principle of world democracy. Valiantly the little Frenchman had struggled, his back to the wall, confronted by a merciless foe. Modestly he accepted a position of supreme trust, of highest honor. And, he pledged the support of a soldier-citizen, to maintain the dignity of his exiled station. The eyes of the world were upon him--prayers with him. At his command the legions sprang to the conflict, against the most terrible fighting machine the world had ever known; a thousand years of history were written within the compass of less than half a bloody decade. Then, the surrender—the armistice. Nobly he confronted personally his fallen enemy, dictating less of exactions than many considered fair to the conquerors. With dignity he retired to his home, his people, his duty well done. The world acclaimed, but aroused no feeling of selfish vanity on part of its hero. In his own allotted time he crept away, to lie down beside the unknown soldier, beneath the Arch of Triumph, where both sleep, oblivious to the din and uproar of the cannon. Another great soldier will repair once in awhile to the shrine near the great cathedral; he will doff his cap and remember the hour when the little marshal accepted the commission naming him the world's greatest commander. He will recall the trying, bloody hours of conflict; and, he will turn away with a swelling heart, for that's the sort of heart our own "old Jack Perkling" has. The Plane Is 34½ fcet Long This photograph shows the airplane Bremen, first to make the non-stop East-to-West flight across the North Atlantic, as it looked in Grand Central Terminal, Tuesday, May 21, when it was unveiled by Colonel James H. Fitzmaurice, Co-Pilot of the plane and Mayor James J. Walker of New York City. The plane is suspended from the roof of Grand Central Terminal over the New York Central's first train, the DeWitt Clinton. It was presented to the City of New York by the late Baron Guenther Von Huenefeld, financial backer of the flight and passenger on it. The plane weighs more than a ton and its wing spread is 58 feet 6 inches. The plane is 34 feet 6 inches long and 9 feet 6 inches high and has a single motor. It flew from Dublin, Ireland to Greeney Island, N. F., two thousand miles, April 12-13, 1928. Landing on soft ice in the fog it was damaged and later was shipped to Germany for repairs. Colorful ceremonies marked its unveiling. Its final home will be in the Museums of the Peaceful Arts, New York City. Baron Guenther Von Huenefeld bought out the shares of the other owners so he could make possible this gift to New York, who welcomed him so graciously upon his memorable flight to the United States. The Baron died in Germany February last and was internationally mourned. (Herbert Photos, New York.)
