THE PALS TOUR THE VALLEY OF VIRGINIA The Paramount Art and Literary Savers is a club composed of teachers in the Richmond Public School system. Having completed a strenuous year's work they left the morning of June 15 on an educational tour of the picturesque Valley of Virginia. The merry group met at the home of the president. Miss L. Gertrude Chambers. At an early hour they comfortably seated themselves in one of Richmond's Gray Line Sight-Seeing Coaches. The route of travel led through the historic cities of Fredericksburg, Culpepper and Sperryville, on to Luray Caverns. Here the party spent an interesting stay, traversing miles of subterranean splendor, brilliantly illuminated by electricity. Queer shapes presented themselves at every turn, suggesting growths of animal life resembling forms of vegetation and creations of man. The next stop was at an observatory high in the Blue Ridge Mountains from which the group obtained a bird's eye view of the Valley of Virginia. Passing through the cities of New Market and Harrisonburg, the party reached Staunton, where they spent the night. The untiring efforts of the president were exhibited when she readily placed the members of the party in the homes of Rev. and Mrs. Pannell Mrs. L. G. Pannell Mrs. Downey and Mrs. S'lvia Jones. "On to Natural Bridge" was the cry on Sunday morning. Down Lee Highway through Lexington, viewing V. M. I. the sight seeing coach continued its journey to Natural Bridge. Awe and reverence possessed the observers as they stood amazed under the spell wrought by nature as they entered Natural Bridge Park. Tch senes here were numerous. The bridge, a towering mass of rock stood 260 feet high. Salt Peter Cave. Lost River. Lace Falls. The Cascade and Arbor Vitate 2000 years old were truly the works of Providence. The beautiful home of Mrs. Janie B. Watts in Glasgow was a haven of rest for the party. Mrs. Watts ushered the party in the dining room in viewing the table and lingered in wonderful estates as well as a delightful hostess. Many thrills were experienced as the Blue Ridge Mountains were crossed on the homeward journey through Lunchburg and Farmville. The party reached home Sunday night, each declaring the trip one long to be remembered. NEW VINE CHURCH NOTES Rev. W. L. Tuck, Pastor. The anniversary services held last week were well attended.

Reid And Now You C Baby S Miss Frank leading lad bere ironing trimmin If You Never Saw Any Bulldogging, Just Stick Around By Albert T. Reid THE FARM PROBLEM HAPPY BILL Albert T. Reid AUTOGASTER Miss Frances Upton, Eddie Cantor's leading lady in "Whoopee", is shown here ironing the Baby Sealskin for trimming on her cloth coat. Every once in a while a new idea is developed that prompts people to say, "Why I never heard of such a thing. I never thought it was possible. That's just the type of expression one hears when told or shown how the Baby Sealskin trimming on a cloth coat can be combed and ironed out by any woman in her wardrobe. But she isn't out a furrier. It is just as simple as putting any delicate piece of lingerie or dress fabric on the ironing board and giving it a new lease on life. Every woman knows that nothing is more flattering than fur. And it is why the fur-framed coat coat Y IS WISE WELL, THE TW THEIR DID WELL, IF YOU'RE TAKING THE TWING DOWN TO HAVE THEIR PICTURE TAKEN, WHY DID YOU SEND ONE HOME? OH, I ONLY NEED THIS ONE — THEY BOTH LOOK ALIKE! tinies to bask in the limelight of fashionable approval. But not every woman knows how to care for her treasured furs. Her pride in the beauty of her neckpiece, coat, or collar turns to dismay when the pelt loses its original gloss, becomes soiled and stained, or matted by heavy rains. On such occasions it is not always possible for a woman to wear a furrier—nor is it always necessary. Even if the item of expense is not to be considered it is well for every woman to acquaint herself with certain details regarding the home care of furs. Intelligent cats will double the life of a pelt and will enable it to retain its beauty indefinitely. Like many other hardy furs, Baby Sealskin may become matted in appearance when rain-soaked. But its original beauty and value are restored by combing and ironing with an iron of moderate temperature. After the ironing process, the fur is given a soft, fuzzy appearance by beating gently with a light stick. This particular treatment, however, is recommended for Baby Sealskin only. Other furs which have become badly matted should be re-glazed by an experienced furrier. By TERRY GILKISON This Week By Arthur Brishane This nation, with its annual income of XINETY THOUSAND MILLIONS of dollars, treats education generously. But the value of education depends not on money, but on the learns on which the education money is spent. A house or house entirely on the soil, or more on the soil. For nearly three hundred years ago, William Haught logic and in the University of Paris, they gathered in Worthington on a stone lined room, not heated along notes by candlelight. And many too poor to pay for candles, climbed the church steeple on bright moonlight nights, to continue their studies there by moonlight. A few such students might be worth more to the world t an a thousand million dollars of endowment. Edison gave to the world more money than wealth has ever given to education. So did Pasleur. Neither ever went to college. Ramsay MacDonald, flying from Scotland to London in a British bombing plane, a parachute strapped over his leather flying coat, and Hazlitt on the way. Hazlitt, who worked himself in a fiery over the French Revolution quarrelling with everybody that did not approve it, little thought that within 100 years of his death a Socialist Laborite would be Prime Minister of England, without any revolution. Still less did Hazlitt imagine that a British Labor Prime Minister would fly to his work. Max D. Steuer, brilliant New York lawyer, says the best cure for any man that fears death is Hazlitt's essay on death. Briefly Hazlitt says that, since we don't worry because we won't not alive 100 years ago, we should not worry because we won't alive or consciences a hundred years hence. In rural England, a horse lion knocked out of his cage in an ankle mobile collision, jumped into a cow pasture. A cow with a young calf dashed at him, and gored him attacking him again and again until he killed her. Others, after killed him. The cow, not the lion, is the interesting animal, in that story, for she represents mother love with its boundless courage. How many men would have attacked the lion with no better weapon than a cow's horns. Consider also the marvellous inheritance of memory. The cow's ancestors, probably, had not seen a dangerous wild beast in more than 1,000 years. But, at night, the cow knew that the lion meant danger to her calf, and rushed to the attack.

The Republican State Convention in session in this city on the night of Tuesday. June 26. 1929 saw fit to ratify and endorse the nomination of Pr. William Mosely Brown, the 35-year old psychology professor of Washington and Lee University at Lexington. Va., who had been previously nominated for Governor by the Anti-Smith Independent Demo cratic Convention at Roanoke June 18. 1929. Charles Carter Berkley of Newport. New, Va., who had been previously nominated at Roanoke for Attorney General was similarly endorsed. Robert Walter Dickinson of Russell county was named for Lieutenant Governor. No such largely attended convention has convened in this State on the Republican side of the $ _{0} $ countenance since the time of General William Mahone. $ _{0} $ prediction of its promoters were fulfilled Nearly one-half of the delegates were $_{\mathrm{e}}$ females and the indications that a new political era for the opposition to the regular Democratic nominees is at hand. The November victory has "wettest the appetites" of the Democratic insurgents and they are literally swarming over under the banner of Republicanism it must $_{\mathrm{b}}$ admitted, with little regard for its fundamental principles. The key-note address of Hon. Henry W. Anderson was on $_{\mathrm{o}}$ of the ablest ever delivered to any political body in this State and must necessarily constitute $_{\mathrm{e}}$ and embrace the rallying cries of the two organizations now assembling for success at the polls in November. His only reference to the colored people is embraced in the following: "The question of the political and social relations between the white and colored people in this State has been definitely and finally determined and will not be reopened regardless of the party in power. We care the maintenance of this condition as essential to the security of our institutions and the peaceful development of our people of all races. It must not be disturbed. But the election laws can be liberalized and simplified without disturbing this condition in the least." Both the listener and the reader are left to draw their own conclusions as to just what Colonel Anderson means. Certain it is that during this campaign at least he and his associates will be given ample opportunity to proceed without any untoward interference on the part of the colored people of this Grand Old Commonwealth. We can rejoice that we can exist in retirement until such a time when conditions will change and in the gigantic struggle which must necessarily follow. both sides will necessarily appeal to the colored units to "come over and help us." It has been essential during every political struggle and during the course of every bloody war for supremacy. All such contests started out with the cry that it is a "white man's right", but it ended in "every man's war." The jails, penitentiaries and the cradles have been called upon to furnish quotas during these sanguinary struggles. It will be so again. The colored people should pursue a waiting policy, knowing well that God rules in the affairs of men. The outlook at present is gloomy for the regular cohorts of Democracy rallying under the banner of Hon. Alfred E. Smith of New York and the Hon. John J. Raskob of the same city, so far as this State is concerned. The Prohibition forces are entrenched in this section and the buckling of the powerful Hoover Administration with all that impulses would indicate that the result under the Henry W. Anderson and James Cannon Jr. leadership is creating a foreign conection. What will the resourceful Harry Flood Byrd and his abilieutenants do about it? Judge Groner 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 Demurrier The declaration alleges that the plaintiff is a citizen of the United States and resides in the first pres- cinct of Madison Ward in the city of Richmond, Virginia. That the first two above named defendants were the only appointed judges and the last named the daily appointed clerk at a primary election held in the city of Richmond on the 3rd of April, 1925, 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 qula- ified 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 16 Recover Damages The action is brought by recover damages for the refusal by the defendants to permit the plaintiff to vote in the above mentioned primary solely because he was a Negra. Defendants have filed a denursement to the declaration. The action is the question whether the action of the defendants in executing 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. Code V. Virginia Constitution Section 36 of the Constitution of Virginia provides as follows: "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 the General Assembly of Virginia has provided in 1024, 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 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 quained 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 on by such party authorities, the time when the same is to be held, the conduct of same, the appointments of clerks, the method of building the election and returning the ballots, the appointment of commissioners as canvass the vote, the duty of the State Board of Canvassers in relation to declaring the result, the provision for securing order at the polls, 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, etc., in the same way and to the same extent as in a general election. Who May Vote 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 allenges and the demurrier admits that the plaintiff was excluded from voting in the direct primary because a 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 equal protection of the laws. To the States it says that no law shall be made or enforced to diminish any one of the privileges and immunities of the peo- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA pie of the United States, and its directs Congress to adopt such laws as may be necessary to enforce the amendment. As construed by the Supreme Court (Civil Rights Cases, 100 U. W. S. 1; James v. Bowman, 190 U. W. 127), the first section of the statute requires 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 defendants—was the election 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. Griggs 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. The Way Out 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 eliminate candidates to be voted for in a general or special election in any of the ways in which such nominations were made before the introduction of the primary. Candidates for public office may be made such by petition, by action of a caucus, or by a 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 Modern The primary 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 untrammed ballot." Judge Keith's Language Judge Keith may not be better stated than repeating the language of Judge Keith in Commonwealth v. Willecx, 111 Vau., 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 to which he belongs and for which the primary is held, and if both political organizations, or at political organizations, into which the community is divided, and primary elections, it necessarily follows that the person chosen 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 function, fulfills an essential function in the plan to 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 nominees at the primary election is chosen enters into and is an ineradicable 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-o 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 abortive 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.

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 volunteer geodesis himself to be an adherent to the party participating in the primary from the exercise of his right of suffrage.

ADAMS AND BROAD Heart Heart Talk By Dr John Joseph Daines GOOD POLICY Preaching is one thing; good business policy is another. Men find things to criticize in preaching; only a dumb-bell opposes the safe and sane business proposition. If you study your newspaper as you should, then take note of the great number who are overtaken in crime, folly, and other wrongdoing. Set the number down in your memorandum-book each day for a month. The number will astonish you—and the sad total will be a shouting, thundering argument for right living. There is absolutely no excuse for doing wrong—for it is the poorest business policy in the world; why? because it leads inevitably to disaster. Take intoxicating drink, for instance. Over-indulgence, or, for that matter, taking it under any circumstances save under advice of a good doctor for illness—is a very, very poor business policy. Why? Because its victims are legion. If cheating, defrauding and falsifying were not wrong morally, it would remain one of the worst business policies. Such an operator may apparently succeed for a time, but will surely be exposed in time, and bring sorrow to the perpetrator. The price of a clear conscience is beyond doubt effort well expended. Compared with the dividends reaped, the clear conscience pays more than the best stocks on the market today. To maintain a spotless character and reputation is to have the best credit and backing in the world. Every man knows right from wrong by native intuition. Every man has been at the forks of the road. It has always paid to turn to the right. There is no better business. The square shooter is the happy man; the crook does not know the meaning of happiness, because always apprehensive; he is never sure of being safe; his restlessness becomes self-torture in course of time. The best business policy in the world is—the Golden Rule. Do You Love ? HEALTH? If so, Call and See L.J.HAYDEN 224 W. Broad St., Richmond, Va.

The opinion, handed down by Associate Justice Vandevera, held that the silence of white Shirrins for many years barred them from restraining the Negroes. The suit was begun in 1915 in a Texas State court by Shirrins in Houston against the lieutenant of the Negro order. Texas Supreme Court Reversed The Supreme Court granted an injunction. In reversing the judgment Justice Vandevera 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 whisper Mason or non-Mason, to believe that it was the order that they were parts of the game fraternity. On the contrary, it is shown that the Negro always held itself out as entirely distinct from the white order, and as open only to members of the negro Mason's fraternity. True, there was much limitation, but this is shown to have been in the nature of simulation rather than false pretenses." Pointing to the establishment 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 "inability indubitably shows that with such knowledge the white order silently stood by for many years while the negro order was continuing its initiative acts and practices, and was establishing new lodges, enlarging its membership, ac A HEARTY WELCOM Mt Carmel B On the North End REV.

BLACK, PASTOR Night Services Baptist Young Peoples Union "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 their admissive 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 Object lessons were often used by Ezekiel. At such times he always had a curious if not interested audience. People are invariably attracted when something is being shown. Before the fall of Jerusalem the minister to the captive Hebrews at Tel-afish in Baysonia took a piece of tile and drew the outline of Jerusalem thereon. The Temple appeared in the center and the city was surrounded with implements of war. The siege was indicated as he placed an iron pan between himself and the wall, and lay there for days eating a rationed portion of bread daily. In time a refugee arrived declaring all that had taken place, and that the city was no more a habitation for its founders. Sick at heart the people suffered. Many were not individually responsible but they were in captivity because of the prolonged and wilful sins of their ancestors as a whole. Up to this time much had been declared about class responsibility. Henceforth more is to be proclaimed regarding personal responsibility. Have you read the second third of Ezekiel as was called for in the study last week? The special portions for today are all of chapters 18 and 33. Nothing can take the place of your own careful Bible reading. Imagery is used again as Ezekiel is called a "Watchman" by Jehovah and commanded to be very faithful in performing the trust involved in that office. It is a position of great responsibility. Lives of many others are involved. Danger is at hand and at times must be met with life. Failure to do duty as a watchman is often punished with death in times of war. The question "Am I my brother's keeper?" is clearly answered. Wicked men must face the death penalty due because of their sins. But what shall be done to those who stood harshly by and never raised a signalling hand or pleading voice to hold them back from the logical consequences of their own ways. The answer from Jehovah, through Ezekiel, is that all are held responsible who could have given any warning. "His blood will I require at thy hand." Excuses are not listed. Just one thing is called to namely to definitely warn the wicked concerning the way he is surely going. Suppose the wicked persists in following his own way after you have spoken? That places an added responsibility on him and trees you from any participation, through knowledge, in his wrong doing. The wicked is not held by Ezekiel in times of despondency it is easier to say "God does not care." Punishment of the wicked is one of the safeguards of society. It helps deter others from transgressing the law and thus becomes a protection to all. God's pleasure is in the restoration of the wicked to a safe and constructive manner of living. Even good deeds in the past will not help under condemnation for sin at God's bar of judgment. Neither will open sins of the past stand in opposition against any one who in true guilt seeks forgiveness in the Father's appointed way. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA EZEKIEL TRACHES PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY Delegates returning to Richmond after a most interesting convention at Norfolk Va. brought with them great inspiration. As a direct result the Missionary Circles of Fourth Baptist Church of which Rev. F. W. Williams is pastor are planning greater movements for the present and coming seasons. The enthusiasm exhibited by Rev. Williams Mrs. E. C. Payne and Mrs. Elia Davis after representing Fourth Baptist at the convention seems contagious. The Junior Missionary Circle of the Church sent as delegates little Miss Georgia Franklin and Miss Clementine Hargrave. Both brought back a real live get-busy spirit and the role is responding freely. Although, the summer vacation is now in full swing for many; the "live woes" of the Church are as busy ever. There are plays and special meetings and inspirational talks. Dr. Williams is giving his best to great congregations.

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 Heavenly Father and of loving, self-denying service to men. If it is doing this, it is a good school. If it is not leading 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 fail- Moore St Baptist Church Burletin 11:00 A.

No representative of the company appeared and the case went over, but two white ladies, for whom Rose had worked, testified as 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.

Mr. Cowles was graduated this year from the University of Vermont, where the award is established. The prize won by the young electric student represents the income from a fund of $5000 contributed by the Foundation. In addition to the cash award, Cowles's name will be inscribed on the bronze tablet which the Foundation created in the engineering hall to commemorate the award. Instead of making the donation for high scholarship and concrete academic achievement, the Atwater Kent Prize is given on a basis of potentiality for development, for common sense and thorough grounding in a particular subject. Mr. Kent contends that failure to achieve all-around scholarship too often denies recognition during school days to natural ability in a specialized field. The award was consequently established with a purpose of stimulating and encouraging the promising student in a designated field. The young prize-winner already has behind him a creditable record of activity and accomplishment. The son of a local judge, he was graduated from the Burlington High School in 1933, and upon entering the University his activity with the ski team and various student organizations went hand in hand with his curricular --- for warming a pool of similar size. At the Bay Shore Yacht Club, with the greater and steady heat, the same task is accomplished in ten hours. "This is the most unusual use for oil-burners we have recorded," said C. U Williams, president of the Williams Oil-Mate Heating Corporation of Bloomington, Ill. world's largest makers of oil burners for home and business heating purposes, when he gave his final approval to the installation.

During summer vacations he has enlarged his electrical knowledge and experience by work in the laboratories of the Bell Telephone Company, and it is with this organization that he now plans to take up research work. Cowles is the second winner of the award which was established last year. The first recipient of the prize was Crawford McGinnis Adams, of Creston, Vermont, who upon graduation entered the employ of the General Electric Company.

Alligator and Patterson make Way for Industry As Euglides Are Tamed to Produce More Bagasse OUT OF THE EVERGLADES A TRACTOR TRAIN HAULING CANE TO THE MILL CUTTING CANE FOR PLANTING IN EVERGLADES B.G. DANLDERG The old Florida Everglades, rendez-vous of the alligator and the rattlesnake, are giving way to the march of progress. The taming of the Everglades has received fresh impetus through the development of a new £20,000,000 industry, literally built on waste. This industry, utilizing a material formerly burned or otherwise discarded as a mulsance, has become in less than eight years an outstanding factor in the new economic era that seems to be opening up for the South. With a world-wide demand for its product already established and exports going to more than fifty countries, a development involving perhaps $100,000,000 within the next few years is foreseen as probable. "Bagasse," the fibrous refuse of sugar cane from which the juice has been pressed, formerly cursed as a worthless material, is the base for this new industry. To insure new domestic sources of bagasse, large extensions of cane planting already have been made in Louisiana and thousands of acres of waste lands in the Florida Everglades have been reclaimed for cane growing. Increase new mills to handle this additional production have been constructed both in Louisiana and Florida. Helna Keep Hoover Cool. Out of begins, the former waste has come a synthetic lumber, commonly called "insulating board," which has surprised its producers as well as the public in the number and variety of use for which it means adapted. The Spanish government sends to England to keep its subjugated forces. The British government sends to keep the native forces the same use as to keep the subjugated forces in which taking prisoners is to keep the guardier ears in the cool and the white houses in the warm.

Hermanutz and Loral Hull in radio testing booth. Copper wire mesh, of the ordinary fly-screen variety, has made its debut as a static eliminator in radio factories in Chicago's newest receiver plant. Five testing booths, made of a double thickness of the copper screening completely grounded, are used for the final tryouts of receiving sets, where they must pass a meter test far more formidable than the fallible human ear in detecting errors in power output. All electrical disturbances due to factory machinery or weather conditions find a complete barrier in this screening. The only signals permitted to enter the booth are specially generated and controlled test signals. The lowest test test is equivalent to less than a millionth of the power required in an ordinary electric third generator modulators test frequencies with a cone scale note, between midrange above, to provide a standard delay is measured. "The determination of power put can no longer be left to trained human ear, which much as 15 per cent or more or weather conditions find a complete barrier in this screening. The only signals permitted to enter the booth are specially generated and controlled test signals. In this factory, operated by McMurdo Silver, youngest radio president in America, the testing processes devised by each firm in the industry to suit its particular needs, are based on two signal generators (miniature broadcasting stations), located in one of the booths, which acts as a power feeder to the other four. The two generators generate frequencies of 560 and 1280 kilocycles respectively. These standard frequencies are attenuated down to tiny currents of one millionth and two millionth of a volt, to simulate the strength of the most distant broadcasting stations from which it may be desired to receive.

The lowest test voltage used is equivalent to less than a hundred millionth of the power required to light an ordinary electric light. A third generator modulates the two test frequencies with a constant 400 cycle note, between middle C and G, above, to provide a standard by which delay is measured. "The determination of power output can no longer be left to only the trained human can, which valves as above, at 15 per cent or more on a minimum frequency obtained Mr. Silver, president of Silberkraft, Inc. "The current, after it has passed through the receiver network, is switched to a master, instead of a loud speaker, to insure against this human fallibility. The meter is a scientifically perfected measure of the service which the radio will be able to give its future owner." The booths are situated in the factory directly beneath mastr. Mr. Silver's private office so that all radios actually go on trial before the president as well as before the test engineers. Besides putting the sets to final tests on reception, power output, and identity of tone, the engineers in the copper screen booths must see that all four correction condensers are accurately adjusted and must then seal them at standard v jues. JINGLE BELLS BY FRANK R. ADAMS ILLUSTRATED BY FRANK B. DRUEN ```markdown ``` What happened before The Sheridan Dramatic Club, of which Tom Jubbeck, the narrator, Maryella, the gun, he cares for, and Jim Conover, his rival are members, start a performance of Pyrrhion and Golates at the Col Soldier Home, but are interrupted by a fire. During the rehearsals Tony Uibbeck is concerned by the husband of one of the actors, Mr. Kremingway, of being in love with his wife. Facing away from the scene of the ill-fated play in their costumes and overcoats, the group of players is held up by two escaped convicts, one of whom is captured by Jubbeck after a struggle. He captured the thief is tied to a chair in the Old Soldier's Home. Unable to save him, she carves on the car door and Mrs. and Mr. Hobbing waits starting this over the phone, says she is coming right to the home—be a customer and Bibek. Measures the thief's arrival. Hermannway arrives just when Bibek is sitting in Mrs. hermannway's bedroom. The world, Hermannway a disturbance is heard in the cellar, and all in the house rush down to the Sheriff's house has broken down. Hermannway suspends Bibek note and moves and Jim Cooper to the house. Hermannway is divided and that Bibek is to worry Mrs. hermannway. He gets back home. Hermannway must stay with him. In violent disagreement, they promise he starts out together on snowshoes. He and soon Bibek tumbles over a fence. They have their sense of direction. She separates Bibek finds himself in a circle, sees an intruder and tries in a window, to find himself in Mavelli's home. The thief comes to hiding in the house. He finds Bibek in an and Bibek has to come out from under the bed, where he had been hiding. in the room stood an army com- pressing almost all of the male popu- lation. The sheriff was taking no chances of being cutnumbered. "You didn't know I was awake did you?" the sheriff exulted. "Well was I heard you break in and I would you to this room and locked you in it." He peered nearsightely at the face. "Well I'm blessed, durne me if Iaint. Ain't you one of the men that started for town?" "I am." I admitted. "Tom Bibek," exclaimed Jim Cooper, coming forward. "I'm glad you came back. It's all the best. I want you to be the first to con- gratulate me on my engagement to Miss Waita." The mentor of Maryella's name however, made the thing with a sewing machine in her or the predecessor had made it happen, paved her it looked around to see how she was taking it. She was nowhere in pencil. At first I was puzzled. I noticed the door across the room. She must have gone in there. I really it was a closet. I made no mention, however of my suspicion. Possibly the incident could be ended without her taking part in it. What were you doing here? "There's something peculiar about this." "Yes, there is!" I admitted. "Come down stairs to the main room where it warmer and I'll explain what happened. My plan was obvious. By leading the crowd off I would give Maryella an opportunity of getting out. The men started to go when we were stopped at the door by the hurried arrival of Mr. Hemmingway, who forced his way past the others in the room and stood, a figure of vengeance, shaking his fist under my nose. "I've caught you," he said, glaring at me. "Caught me? I repeated wonderingly. "Yes! I thought there was something funny about it when you agreed to separate from me out threw. I suspected that you wanted to throw me the track and come back to give me. You didn't deserve me. I came back and followed your tracks in the moonlight. And now I've caught you, you vipar." All at once his eyes fell upon the dresser. There in plain view lay the arm of pearls which Maryells had worn at Gladstone. "My wife's pearls" he explained savagely, "So you came right to her room! My God, I can't conceive of much iniquity. Where is she now? What have you done with her?" I preserved a defended silence. What use to argue with a raving maniac like that? "Have you killed her?" he demanded hoarsely. "Where is the body? I can surround the room, looked under the bed and in human tears, if he expected to find mangled persons of his spouse cut up into congenious rises and stored away. At last he saw the other door and At last he saw the other door and approached "Don't go in there." I weeped. "Why not? He! So that's where you have her concealed!" * I barred his way, but he ran at me like an enraged bull and hurled me side with insane violence. I drew back the covers from the inanimate form on the couch. "Evening, gents," said Julius ge-ment to let things stand in statu quo nally. Until morning. Standing in the doorway blinking at the sudden light was a man whom I recognized after a moment as Julius, the escaped convict. No one was any more surprised as the turn of events than I was. To be expecting to see a beautiful girl in negligence emerged the closet, and instead to be held in tough-looking musculature the days' growth of whiskers is startling. Where was alarcea? I did not ask the question out loud. I drew back the covers from the "Evening, gents," said Julius ge- nially. "What are you doing here?" the sheriff inquired. "Why, it was sort of cold outside," explained Julius, "and I thought you wouldn't mind my coming in to get warm. Besides I thought it was about time for Bill and me to be moving, so I come to get him." "Well, of all the cussed nerve—!" the sheriff wondered. "Then where is my wife?" shouted Hemmingway. "What have you done with the woman I love?" "Oh, John, do you mean that?" From the rear of the crowd came Mrs. Hemmingway's voice. She struggled through the throng to reach the side of her mate. He held out his arms to her, but paused suspiciously. "Where have you been?" "It's bed until all this racket was up." "Then this isn't your room?" "No." "But your pearls were on the dresser." "I told them to Maryella for the show." The explanation seemed satisfactory. Without asking any further questions he folded her into his arms and they cooled over one another with shameless disregard of the audience. While interest was centered on the reunited Hemmingway family, Julius the convict seized the opportunity to edge near the door. No one noticed his gradual progress, and now, all at once he made a quick dash for liberty. The crowd started in pursuit, leaving the Hemmingways to their own devices. Fortunately for Julius most of his pursuers were at least twice his age, and were further impeded by rheumatism, canes and crutcheta. I might possibly have caught him, but I didn't the heart. I was in too low spirits myself to wish to see any other human being in trouble. The rest followed him outdoors, but I considered that I had done my duty when I had gone as far as the main floor. Something else was worrying me. The problem of Maryella's disappearance was of a thousandfold more interest to me than the mere capture of the ex-convict. Knowing that I was safe from interruption for a moment, I went upstairs to Maryella's room once more. It was empty. The Hemmingways had evidently retired to her room to settle their differences as best they could. Maryella's room was pertinently a wowery. The dishabbed girl had a very dejected stare to the orderly room. There was only one place she could be. I walked directly to the closet, the door of which stood open, and penetrated its obscure depths. There, hidden by old clothing I found her unconscious upon the floor, huddled up in a condescension heat. No wonder she had tainted. To step into a closet as a haven of refuge and unexpectedly to find it occupied by another human being was enough to stoke the strongest heart. I lifted her one. How beautiful she was even in a faint! How clear her skin and how soft the flesh around her thrush! I put her down on the floor while I reconstructed the head. After I had put her upon it I bunged up Mia. Littleblow, to whom I briefly explained the facts in the case, sweating her to rescuey. She was unusually flattered at being taken into one of my amorous adventures, and agreed to help. --- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page Together we worked over Maryella until she showed signs of returning consciousness. Then, at Mrs. Lillieclave's suggestion, I had it would be better to reserve explanations until after Maryella had been rested by a long sleep. I was glad to let it go at that. I was unbelievably tired myself. The long hike on skis and the nervous strain of the last hour had worn me out completely. I hunted the cot which had been assumed me in the first place and threw myself upon it, perfectly con- in the inanimate form on the couch. ge- tent to let things stand in stolu quo until morning. CHAPTER XII. HOW BY ICE-BOAT The searching party had given up the chase of Julius long before I got up. It was a mighty tired bunch of old men that assembled for breakfast. They were going to eat and then to bed for an all-day snooze. As for me, I was tremendously refreshed and ready to face anything that came along. At breakfast the sheriff, who had gone in to look at his other prisoner, came back wide-eyed and trembling. "Boys," he said, "I've got bad news." "What is it?" we demanded. "My prisoner is dead." "Dead?" some one echoed. "Yep. I didn't know he was ailing, neither. I went in just now to unite the ropes that I used to hitch him in bed with and he didn't move. I put my hand on his head and it was cold as ice. He is a corpse, I tell you. I want one of you fellows to come and examine him for me. The old soldiers showed little inclination to move, even for so exciting an adventure, so it was up to the room which he was using as a temporary jail. The shades were drawn, but on the cot I could see the dim outline of a man's figure. Just as the sheriff had done, I first obeyed the impulse to put my hand on Bill's forehead. It was cold and lifeless. I shuddered a little at the presence of death. "Pull on the curtain." I suggested. The sheriff fumbled with the shade, which escaped from his nervous juggers and went up to the top with a bang. We both jumped as if we had been shot. I drew back the covers from the inanimate form on the cot. It was the papier-maché statute of myself! "Gosh! What is it?" stammered the sheriff, who had not seen our performance and doubtless thought that Bill was a trifle pale. I explained briefly. "Then he has escaped, too," the sheriff sighed. "It looks like it." I said. Indeed he had. Pinned to the wall we found a penciled note. It ran: Dear Sheriff, I am mighty glad to have set you and I should like to stay longer, but I’ve got another engagement. Thanks very much for your horse. Yours affectionately. BILL. I am afraid I laughed. It was such a foolish ending to our supposed tragedy. I went up-stairs-to-see how Maryella was getting along. I found her awake, but still in bed. She claimed she felt as well as ever. I told her briefly what had happened the night before and this morning. It seemed as if she had an explanation due her. Then she told of her terror at finding the strange man in the closet. Of course, his being there substantiated my story to her the previous night when I had said that I had followed a man to that room. "I am glad he got away," said Maryella kind-heartedly, "especially as he didn't steal anything. The only thing I had of any value was Mrs. Heumingway's pearls." She looked over toward the dresser where she had put them the night before. "Why, where are they?" Continued Next Week Milady's Beauty Secrets By Helena Rubinstem Beauty clear and four . . .

But fortunately it is no longer necessary for women to submit to the inevitable results of constant immersion of the hands in hard or soapy water, for there are many simple rules and home remedies that can be used to keep the hands soft and white, the nails free from bristle marks and hang nails. I think all who are blessed with common sense realize that it is well worth the small extra amount it costs in the space of a year to purchase pure non-alcoholic soaps for all household purposes. The dish soap and the handled scrubbing buns have always supervised the old wet wipes and hand mops that opened early age to the housewife's hands.

PRESIDENT The Baptist Ministers' Conference of Richmond and Vicinity closed its 1928-29 session Monday June 24th. In many ways the closing session stands out as the greatest in the history of the Conference. A new spirit seems to exist a new program was carried out and every member is on vacation with new inspiration. .. The men who responded to the call of the program committee have never seemed so thorough in their preparation or so brilliant in the presentation of their subjects as in the session just closed. The scholarship has been high the spirituality has been deep and the tolerance with which criticism was received has been broad. ..... Dr. Ransome the president is responsible in a large measure for this banner year the Conference has enjoyed. He $ \mathrm{h} $ is unquestionably a great leader of men. The a man of broad scholastic training he is humble $ \mathrm{h} $ and unassuming in manner, realizing that the day of the "Big Stick" leader has passed he rules not by force $ \mathrm{h} $ but by love. And so gentle and considerate $ \mathrm{h} $ is his nature that he inspires love $ \mathrm{h} $ in other men and they follow his leadership because they love him. The Conference has always had men of ability as leaders but it is safe to say that it has never had a president so generally beloved as Dr. Ransome. He stoops to no tricks he plays no favorites; he recognizes all men and whether their posturates are large or small, or whether they know much or little Jud poner's Decision. pels the adoption of what is called impartial suffrage. Its purpose was to establish all over the United States one people and that each of these may understand the constitutional fact that his privileges and immunities cannot be abridged by State authority, and that these rights are not confined to any class or race but comprehend all within its scope. The General Assembly of Virginia having provided the primary as a method (though optional) for the nomination of candidates and the Supreme Court of Virginia having declared it when adopted an inseparable principle the election authority, it would seem especially to follow that the legislature cannot by delegation or otherwise give vitality to a claimed right which it is itself prohibited by the Constitution from enacting into law. In People ex rel. Brechton v. Election Commissioners, 221 ill. 9, 77 N.E. 321, it was held that a primary election law which provides that the A Cine SER to all N THE DOCTOR is a life.

Other Citations county committees of a political party shall determine whether candidates shall be nominated by a majority or a plurality vote, is invalid as a delegation of legislative power, the basis of this decision being that since the legislature had enacted a statute regulating the form of the ballot, what shall appear upon it, and how the candidates whose names appear shall be chosen, it has drawn to itself the duty of determining the question whether a majority or plurality vote should be necessary to nominate and that the delegation of this right to a political party might not be legally done, and this is no more than the recognition of the well established maxim that a law must be complete in all its terms and conditions when it leaves the legislature. Cookey's Const. Lim. (7th Ed.) 163. Delegation of Power In the statute under consideration there is not only a delegation of legislative power—in itself unconstitutional—but also in its purpose and effect a recognition of a further power which the legislature itself does not possess. Admittedly the State may not provide otherwise than for equal rights of suffrage as well in the primary as in the election. This the statute does and if this were all there would be no ground of complaint, but it goes farther and recognizes and enforces the right of a political party to prescribe qualifications forbidden under the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. This a State may not do. "The legitimate purpose of such a law * * * must be to sustain and enforce the provisions of the Constitution and the rights of voters, and not to curtail or subvert them or injuriously restrict such rights." (People v. Commissioners, supra). Law in Conflict That a law which recognizes or which authorizes a discriminatory test or standard does curtail and subvert them there can be no doubt and such a law is therefore in conflict with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. Impressed with the importance of the question raised in this case and mindful likewise of the responsibility of its decision, I have given the case careful thought. That its effect may be to change a custom that has long obtained in the political system in effect in this State and therefore meet with the disapproval of many is a consequence which unintended that may be may perpetually not be avoided in the performance of the duty devolving on the court. The demurrier will be overruled, and the defendants given sixty days in which to plead further, and the case will stand continued. circle of NICE Mankind An important asset in human treats the suffering, relieves of illness, accident and every important part in the Circle of N LIFE INSCE CO.

Clark preached a powerful sermon from Great Concord Grape Industry Is Set Against Historic Background 1 Barcelona—New York's Fishing Village—a unique colony, lost on the shore of Lake Erie, just half a mile from the heart of the greatest Concord Gap Industry in the world. There's one place in the United States where time stopped early in the eighteenth century. The twentieth century roars past it—by sea, land, and air. as it lived four generations ago, when fishing was almost the sole industry of the Great Lakes. Barcelona's population numbers about 200. The village is made up of tumble-down, storm-wathered Huge freighters of lake commerce past it. Great always, have laid their steel bands almost on top the cliff against which the village is placed. Close at hand, the vast primitive power of Niagara itself has been subdued to modern mastery. The twentieth century roars past, but leaves Barcelona, the fishing village on Lake Erie, just as it was a basketry parade. Huddled on the eastern shores of Lake Erie, it is one of the strongest anachronisms of modern times, a throw-back to our earliest pioneer life, right in the midst of the most advanced civilization of the twentieth century. The Concord grape industry has made New York's famous Chautauqua Valley one of the richest and most prosperous sections in the United States, a mile distant from Barcelona, on the old Portage Road, stands the Welch Grape Juice plant, largest of its kind in the world, and center of New York's thriving grape juice industry. But Barcelona stands at the doorway of the state, living today just to get a Sea Bath here. The day is right at our door. HORE HOTEL BEACH, VIRGINIA Resort For Our People. Hold a Convention?

The village is made up of tumble-down, storm-washed shacks, jagged tops, bamboo shacks, and timbered fishing nets, floatsam and jessam, even an old graystone lighthouse, now unused, but once important in the government harbor tranle. The whole life of the colony is fishing. In winter the fishermen spend their days repairing their nets and boats and working in the mammoth cellars of the Welch Grape Juice Co. In spring, when the real fishing season begins, the colony swarms. There are no newcomers to the colony and there are few born to the village who ever desert it. It is one of the few fishing villages still left in the United States. Tourist travel, the rise of industry, and the diminishing importance of fishing as a national industry have robbed most of those even on the seaboard of their salt tang. So that Barcelona situated in the heart of the Concord grape country of New York, is a unique relic of an almost forgotten phase of national life, when communities were sovereignities.
