RICHMOND PLANET GUILTY MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE. 12 Years the Penalty.--Decatur Strother Killed Joe Harris (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Decatur Strothers, charged with the murder of Joe Harris, was tried in the Hustings Court here Wednesday, July 24, 1929, before Judge John L. Ingram, jury trial being waived. Strothers was represented by Attorney Haley Shelton, upon whose advice, he pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree. In agreement with Commonwealth's Attorney Dave E. Satterfield, Judge Ingram assessed his punishment at twelve years in the penitentiary. Time Reduced Judge Ingram stated that this time would be reduced one-third, conditional upon his good behaviour. This would reduce the actual punishment at eight years confinement. The crime for which Strother was sentenced was the shooting to death of Joe Harris, Saturday, June 22, 1929, near the northwest corner of Second and Duval Streets. The bullet entered the left thigh and punctured the intestines. Died in Hospital. Harris died in St. Phillips Hospital the next day. Many witnesses had been summoned, but they did not testify. Strother and Harris had previously been in a fight that day. It was alleged that Harris struck Strother over the head with an iron jack, the fight taking place on St. James Street, just beyond Happy Land Park. Strother secured a revolver and meeting Joe Harris, as stated, proceeded to shoot him. Head Bandaged. Strother had his head bandaged from the previous fight in which injuries had been inflicted on him by Harris. Testimony was available, too, to show that a physician had administered morphine to Strothen and that he was partly under the influence of this drug when the murder took place. The row was said to be about a battery. It was a singular fact, too, that the bodies of John Anderson's wife and his step-daughter were at that time resting on cooling boards in the funeral director's parlor of F. H. Hayes, just across the street. REV. DR. WALTER H. BROOKS TO BE HERE Rev, Walter H. Brooks D. D. will preach at the Second Baptist Church Sunday at 8 P. M. July 28 1929.

It is the most elusive little boat afloat. All sorts of craft—aerial and fast speed-boats are trying to overtake the honeymoon craft in order to photograph the couple who don't wish to be photographed. Prior to the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Lindbergh aboard their yacht at Block Island, the honeymooners had dropped out of sight completely. From the time they departed from the Morrow home at Englewood, N. J., their whereabouts were unknown. (Herbert Photos). Actors Find New Stages to Tretd As "Talkies" CloseOld Playhouse HOLLYWOOD isn't getting all the performers who have left the professional speaking stage to give voice to the once-silent movies. Commerces and art have merged, and matter-of-fact commercial organizations are employing well-known stage favorites to lend their talents in depicting scenes that impress business man with money-making truths. A play, given as part of a convention program, has been discovered to be far more effective and interesting than a long-winded speech. When more than 3,000 business men are spilled in Bloomington, Ill., the first international convention of the Williamson Oil-O-Based Mergers Corporation, they sell a company whose design by a team of lawyers in a large fully-equipped house, puts in a factory building, engages professional agents and has been overlooked to direct the right and the wrong way to conduct a business. Jimmy Hutch, an attractive young ingentee seen recently with Mary Land in the comedy his double partners," was realistic and convincing as a staging stenographer in the store of a backward dealer who finally was led through her, to realize he had been overlooking a great demand for oil burners and its machines in his town. Low sillys, with four years' stage experience, including stage as director of well-known men was executive in the role of the director. Numerous designs, from every part of North America, the best of Williamson the play had been the key to opportunity as lighting had done in the convention. A Good One—To Pass Up By Albert T.

Dr. Renwald, poultry expert in Nebraska, says he has produced a breed of wingless hens that also lack toenails. They lay, but can't fly, can't scratch, can't be ardently interested in motherhood, having no wings to shelter a brood. Sitch hens, being saved the trouble of moulting the difficult wing feathers, should go on laying all year round producing 300 eggs a year. To separate female usefulness from psychological disturbances like moulting would be marvelous, in poultry, and among the primates. The Arctic explorer, Stefanson, and a companion, Anderson, have lived for a year on nothing but meat, eating enormous quantities. Physicians say their health is better, their resistance to disease strengthened. Let vegetarians muse on that. The rock in 1,000 million years produces soil with the aid of teeth worms. The soil, after more centuries, produces grass. The cow eats grass for three years, digesting it slowly. Man eats the beefsteak in fifteen minutes. President Hoover, great engineer, has been kept busy since his inauguration by prohibition problems. Now he is asked to develop and enforce new blue laws. The blue law gentlemen want Washington made into a "Blue-Law-Paradise," that the city may be an example to the nation. Poor President Hoover, listening to six speeches in favor of Sunday blue laws, all in one day, must wonder when the country will allow him to do some engineering. In the last six months Americans have eaten more than six and a half billion pounds of sugar. Prohibition helps that. More candy is sold. The country this year will use thirteen billion pounds of sugar to increase costs but two cents pound that will cost the public $260,000,000 Mrs. Lucien Zacharoff of New York who plans to go clear across the country with her husband as the first airplane "hitch hikers" in History.

Colored folks, keep on praying and let the white folks keep on sinning. They will call us into their scraps as soon as both sides get tired and want a reliable fighting force to help them out of their dilemma. They dropped a white policeman from the police force here last week for being too intimate with a "mighty good looking yeller woman." Chief Jordan and his bunch will not stand for that kind of intimacy. We learned that the officer got out before he could be put out. THE VIRGINIA OUTLOOK The political situation in this State is becoming more interesting and puzzling as the time nears for the holding of the Democratic primary. The fight between Hon. Q. Walter Mapp, who represents the dry anti-Byrd forces, and Hon. John Garland Pollard, the champion of all the policies that this distinguished Virginian has fathered is becoming vitriolic, although the latter is doing his best to keep it from being so. That the Governor holds the whip handle, so to speak, inside of rockribbed Democratic primary is generally conceded. For Candidate Mapp to obtain the nomination as Governor would mean the end of the political career of the gentlemen from Winchester, Va., and mark the rise of Senator Mapp to political prominence and power. Should John Garland Pollard win he would have on his hands the task of stemming the deluge, that is the combination of independent Anti-Smith Democrats and the outspoken Republicans backed by the support of the Hoover administration at Washington. Rev. David Hepburn, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Virginia, has thrown the provisional monkey wrench into the machinery. Here is how he did it and here is what he wrote: There are 100 members of the Legislature to be elected this year. There are about 140 candidates for the same. There are also four State Senators to be elected. There are a great many elected officials, such as Congressional attorneys, clerks of courts, treasurers of cities, justices of the necce, etc. It is natural, therefore, that citizens who are as much interested in the legislature and administrative departments of government as in the executive should desire to know what are the privileges and obligations involved by one who participates in the primary on August 6, 1929. The State primary law and the interpretation thereof by the Attorney-General entitles every Democrat who is otherwise qualified to participate in the primary without question, no matter for whom he voted in the presidential election of 1928. The decision of Judge Groner, of the Federal court, that the Democratic primary is unconstitutional absolves a citizen from any legal obligation to support the nominees of an unconstitutional primary in the general election. Voters participating in the primary are merely expressing their preference.

Call and be accommodated. expense of the party, but at the expense of the State out of the general fund, the same is in the general election, absolves a citizen of any moral obligation to vote for the nominees of the primary. It seems to us to be clear that any Democratic citizen, regardless of his vote in the presidential election, can enter the primary and vote for any candidate for any office and scratch out those for whom he does not desire to vote, except in a case where the district is entitled to more than one representative in the General Assembly. In that event, a citizen must vote for as many candidates for the General Assembly as the district is entitled to for his ballot to be for. He will then be free to vote for the nominee of the Democratic primary for Governor or the anti-Smith Republican candidate, or any other candidate for any office on the ticket in the general election in November. This statement goes further than it shows on its face. If the vote in the Democratic primary is small, the anti-Smith independent Democratic element will insist that the Democratic nominates are admittedly defeated before the November vote is cast. If it is large, it will be said that both sides participated in the primary and therefore the result has no political significance. To a man up a tree, it would seem that Bishop James Cannon, Jr., is not by himself in exercising far-seeing political sagacity. A church machine is now shown to be one of the best kind of weapons for use in the arena of outside politics. Selah. "ENTERTAINED BY PRESIDENTS" The New York Age in its issue of July 13th has the following to say about the De Priest incident: A notable contribution to the manners and customs of Democratic government was made last week by the publication of a report prepared by Karl F. Phillips, Commissioner of Conciliation, and made public through the Department of Labor. The occasion of this report was supposed to be the wide discussion occasioned by the inclusion of the wife of the Negro Congressman from Illinois in a group of women invited to tea at the White House a few weeks ago. Considerable light was thrown on the attitude of various heads of the Republic, in meeting and greeting members of darker races on occasion, that were totalled as official character. The report in read as follows: Subject: Various entertainments at the White House 1878—President Rutherford B. Hayes was a cousin of President Patton, of Howard University, and was entertained by him at the university. At this entertainment President Hayes met Mr. John M. Langton, the first Dean of the University Law School, on whom President Hayes later called, socially, at the Langton home. 1886—The Minister to Hayti was entertained by President Cleveland. 1903—Hon. John C. Dancy (Recorder of Deeds) and wife were entertained at the White House by President Roosevelt. 1904—Hon. Judson W. Lyons (Register of the Treasury) and wife were entertained at the White House by President Roosevelt. 1903—Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Jacksonee Institute, dined at the White House with President Roosevelt. 1864—Frederick Douglas dined with President Lincoln at the White House 1878—Frederick Douglas was entertained by President Hayes at the White House. 1885—Frederick Douglas dined with President Cleveland at the White House. 1912—President Roosevelt entertained Hon. William H. Lewis, former Assistant Attorney General, at the former's home at Oyster Bay, N.Y., as over-night guest. 1912—Senator B. K. Bruce was entertained by President Grant, and Mrs. Bruce entertained the members of the diplomatic set at her home at a reception. 1871—P. B. S. Pinchback (at one time acting Governor of Louisiana) was entertained by President Grant at the White House. At President Lincoln's second inaugural reception, 1865, Frederick Douglas was entertained at the White House, and as he entered the reception hall the greeting that Lincoln gave him, in leaving a group of friends to greet Douglas, was so very marked in its warmth that certain historians have spoken of it in their publications. As an antidote to the vulgar verses entitled "Niggers in the White House," read by Senator Cole Blease, of South Carolina, in the Senate Chamber and later ordered expunged the accuser and an indecent, obscene and dogged" the report may have a certain value. It places on record at least the fact that many occupants of the White House have been free from petty discriminations on account of color and possessed the courage of their convictions. Most of our Presidents have been pretty big men. 18 E. Clay St., THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIII Gladys May of Shufflin' Sam Co.

St Church (GODVILLE) D., Minister Heart Heart Gall By Dr. John Joseph Davis THE BRIDGE OF SIGHS Recently a very rich and nationally-known citizen was sentenced to serve a term in jail, and was finally placed there that justice might prevail over all. Just what the offense was that brought this punishment, does not concern me particularly. Guilt must be assumed if proven beyond doubt. I did notice that the term of imprisonment was comparatively short. Almost at the same time, a poor old washerwoman, living in a great city near me, was arrested "with the goods on her. She had, in her squalid apartment, something like a gallon of corn whiskey; she admitted dispensing this liquid from time to time, in order to ease the financial going; she was 81, and not able to turn out washing as in her younger years. Recent enactments made hers an almost capital offense. The jurors, kind and heartful men, were puzzled; had this very old woman exerted her utmost strength, she could not have done much harm to anybody, by reason of her senility. But she was a violator of law, and knew she was doing wrong at the time. If I do not forget, she drew six months' imprisonment. She went to jail defiant. A question as to the justice of the law arises, but it should not. There is no extenuation in violation of law by rich or poor, young or old. The so-called crime wave is appalling; the law must be stern and prevail—or, fall down in its impotence. It must fall down. Age and condition are no excuse for crime. Ignorance and self-will are the causes of most violations of law. Even poverty does not justify a man or woman to rob, or to enter into unlawful commerce. It never pays, even to violate an unreasonable law. Such laws are not done away with by that method. Enlightenment brings about better conditions, ignorance and crime never. I wish we could think of Americans as a happy, law-abiding people. We can only realize this, when our people universally work for it.

GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY FROM PAINTING BY PLOCKHORST and in some relation in a sense of art and in some relation in a sense of art The increased interest in religious study with the Bible as its center, is connected by the constant growth of the "family Altar League," a noncustodian organization which encourages parents to gather their children around them in the home for religious instruction or prayer." says John Mercutti, Chicago secretary of the league which now is backed by many well-known business men throughout the United States. "Almost 17 million bibles and test of thousands of bible-study courses were sold in the United States is now" writes G. E. Bounty, commissioner of the Directive on the Directive that has taken priority the business statutes of the survey "and 1039 premises to smash all previous records."

Sunday School Lesson Western elements of weakness were operating among the Chaldeans, and Medes from the north were campaigning against the capital. At any time they were encamped about the city. But Belshazzar was in touch on his self gratification. In this he was in accord with the courtiers, and all whom should have been alert to drive back the invading army. An impression of their indifference a royal banquet was arranged, and it was participated in by 1,000 lars, with their wives and concubines. When the brain of the king ceased to function normally as its action was distorted by alcohol, always a poison, he tried to think of some causes in mindliness that would surpass the last occasion. Then he ordered that the gold and silver vessels he brought, which had been taken as booty when the Temple at Jerusalem had been destroyed about 49 years before. These were filled with wine and the already intoxicated crowd was invited to drink therefrom as they followed the king's example. It would be hard to think up a grosser act of flagrant impiety. Revelry broke in with wider manner than ever. Obeying one suddenly, however, as in consternation they saw what appeared like a man's hand writing on the wall. When none could intercept the meaning, the wise men and magicians were called in. They, too, were beheaded, though the king promised great wealth for the meaning of those three words. In this plight the queen, possibly the widow of Mohammadnazeerz, reminds that Daniel had been able to give the meaning of dreams, and once when the king could not even recall the dream. Doubt is announced. It is interesting to note that he was not par- sing in the occasionally wild banquet. Not for the sake of reward he invocation of God he will announce the interpretation, though he is coming to the great audience assembled. It is of value some languages but it is of decidedly greater importance and the language of God in whatever tongue the utterance becomes. Our Great Teacher is always seeking to speak to his hearts in the routine of life as well as by special occasions. SOULS SALE by RUPERT HUGHES ILLUSTRATED BY DONALD RILEY First Instalment "Los Angeles!" the sneering preacher cried, as Jonah might have whinnied, "Nineveh!" and with equal secren. "The Spanish missionaries may have called it the City of Angels; but the moving pictures have changed its name to Los Disbiosl. For it is the central factory of Satan and his minions, the enemy of our homes, the corrupter of our young men and women—the school of crime. Unless it reforms—ana soon!—surely, in God's good time, the ocean will rise and swallow it!" Though he was two thousand miles or more away—the Reverend Doctor Steddon was so convinced by his own prophetic irie that he would read in the Monday morning's paper that a benevolent earthquake had taken his hint and shrugged the new Babylon off into the Pacific ocean. But Doctor Steddon, if he could have seen the realm he objurgated, would have confessed that the devil had a certain grace as a gardener and that his minions were a handsome, happy throng. As it was, Doctor Steddon had never seen Los Angeles and had never seen a moving picture. He knew that the world was going to wrack and ruin—as usual—and he laid the blame on the nearest novelty—as usual. His daughter had heard him lay the blame in previous years on other activities. She wished he would. But then she had not escaped blame herself, and she was in a mortal dread now of a vast cloud of oblopathy lowering above her and onious with lightning. Her father and mother had named her Remember—after one of the Mayflower girls—nearly three hundred years after. Her father often wished that she had been liker to those Puritan maidens. But that was because he did not know how like she was to them, how much thee, too, had terrified their parents with their love of finery and romantic experiment. For it is only the styles, and not the souls, that change. There are chronicles enough to prove that the same quota of the Remembers and the Praisegods of Plymouth and the other colonies suffered the same bitter beatitudes and trivial bewilderments as Remember Steidton and Elwood Farnaby endured when their elbows touched in the choir lott of this mid-Western village. Miss Steidton felt a sudden tremor in Farnaby; elbow; then it was gone from hers; he saw his thumb not written as it graced the hymn book hard. Somehow in the words he chained seemed to stab him with a sense of guilt. He felt it a terrible thing for her to stand before that congregation and cry aloud words of ecstasy over her redemption from sin. His secret uncle and unconcerned conceived by the very claw of its publication. And it troubled Farmaby mightly to be gaming all the advantage of a lie by singing the truth. * * * * * When the choir was not singing openly and aboveboard, it was usually busily whispering. Even Elwood Farnaby had to lean over tonight and whisper important news to Remember. He was not permitted to call at her house or to bean her home after the service. Singing beside her in the house of God—that was different. He told her now what he had just learned. He was employed would close down the following week because of hard times. Elwood was to have been promoted to superintendent soon. To Remember Steddon the news that Elwood would have no job in a week and would know no place to look for one had more than a commercial interest. It was the alarum of fate. She had loved Elwood since they were children—had loved him all the more for the squalor of his home. He was the son of the town's most eminent drunkard, old "Faldown Farnaby." Among the slipshod children of his family Elwood alone had managed to acquire ambition. He had bitterly supported his mother and a pack of brothers and sisters. He had even been able to afford to go to the war and win the guerdon of a wound that made him glorious in Remember Steddon's eyes and a little more lovable than ever. Her father, however, had been unable to tolerate the thought of his daughter's marrying the son of the town sot. Doctor Steddon felt that he was proving his love, his loving wisdom toward his daughter, by forbidding her even to meet young Farnbaird outside the choir loft. He was sure that her love would wear out. He did not know his daughter. Who ever did? Ewold had expected that the bad news would shook her. But he could understand the shock and shame. terror she gave him. He forgot it in his own bitter brooding and did not observe the deathly white that blanched her pallor. Yet he had noted that she was paler of late and had added that worry to his backbreaking load of worries. She coughed incessantly, too, and kept putting her hand to her chest as if hurt her there. On the way home under the wasted magic of the rising moon, Remember did not walk as usual between her father and mother with A woman sits in a room, looking up at a window. She is wearing a long dress and has her hair pulled back. There is a desk in front of her with a book on it. ... All he said was, "My Child!" ... a hand on the arm of each. Tonight she kept at her mother's left elbow and clung so tight to the fat, warm arm that her mother whispered: "What's the matter, honey?" "Not that," she replied, faltered. "I'm just a little tired. I guess." Mem again was coughing violently and the rest of the way home Doctor Steddon was not a preacher anxious about his daughter's soul, but a father afraid of her life. The cough to her parents was an omnious problem. To her it might promise a solution. command 'I went to see Doctor Brethreich.' she told him that her parents were afraid her cold was more than a cold, and she coughed for him. He asked her many questions, and she grew so confused and apt in blushes that he asked her more. Suddenly he flung her a startled loof, gasped, and stared into her eyes as if he would ransack her mind. In the mere shifting of his cyclic muscles she could conceive anger and family pity. All he said was, "My child!" There could be no solenoid conference than theirs. Doctor Brethrick had attended Mem's mother when the girl was born. He thought of her still as a child, and now she dazed him and frightened him by her mystic knowledgees and her demands that he should help her out of her plight or help her out of the plight or help her with herism. He refused to do either and demanded that she meet her fate with heroism. In the talk that followed, Dr. Bretherick drew out the fact Elwood Farabay was "the man" and suggested a plan for their marriage when the telephone rang. The doctor's welcoming "Hello!" broke through a many-wrinkled suit. It froze to a grimance. As Mem wished he kept saying "Yes . . . Yes . . . Yes" and finally, "That's right—bring him here." He set down the telephone as if it were a drained cup of hemlock. "It wasn't Elwood?" Mem said. "No. Yes. Well—O God! what a bitter world this is!" Mem caught eagerly at grief. "Felt me! What's happened? What happened to Elwood? He's hurt. He's killed." "Yes!" It was Dr. Bretherick who afterward found a solution. "Your cough will take a long time to cure or kill," he said. "But it may come in very handy. I've got it all thought out. You can't stay in this town now, I suppose. Most of the animals crawl away and hide at such a time; so suppose you just vanish. Let your cough carry you off to say, Arkansas or California." She was startled at this unmade-of escape. He went on; "Then, the necessary lies. That is a large part of my practice. And practice makes perfect. You will go to some strange town—and pope as a widow." "You will marry an imaginary man out there and let him die quietly. Then, if you ever want to come home here, you can come back as Mrs. Somebody-or-other." He chose Woodville as the name. Mem was to write of Mr. Woodville's devotion, then to describe a hazy marriage and request that her letters thereafter be addressed to her Mrs. Woodville. --- After a brief honeymoon she could eliminate Woodville in some way to be decided at leisure. It would be risky, he said, to let Mr. Woodville live too long. * * * * * A hurricane struck the little town of Caverly on the day of Elwood's funeral. When Mem expressed a wish to sing with the girl at the hotel, her hair like stinger, her mother cried, "A girl who's got to be shipped out West has got no right to go out in weather like this." So she stayed at home and stared DONALD RKEY through the streaming windows. She saw her poor old father set out to preach the funeral sermon. He had that valor of the priests which leads them to risk death in order to defeat death; to endure all hardship lest the poorest soul go out of the world without a formal conge. Doctor Steddon clutched his old overcoat about him and plunged into rain that hatched the air in long, slanting lines. Again and again Mem revolted at the outrage of robbing her own parents of their savings—their o shield against; old age. She w again and again to Doctor Bretherick and demanded that he release her from her promises not to tell the truth and not to kill herself. But he compelled her to his will, and she was too glad for a will to replace her own panic to resist him. For a necessary stimulant he phophesied that somehow in that land of gold she was seeking she would find such wealth that she could repay her parents their loan with usury, with wealth, perhaps. Who knew? He spoke of many women who had begun poor and finished rich. "You might go into the movies, for instance, and make more money than Coal Oil Johnny," he said. Meni imbued mysterious tonics at the doctor's office, and always came away buoyed up with the feeling that deeply was unimportant, commonplace, and sure to have a happy finish. But the moment she reached home she entered a demise where everything was solemn, where jokes were never heard, except pathetic old witticisms more important in intention, than in amusement. And at last, one day, quite unexpectedly, when she was under no apparent tension at all, the girl went into Mrs. Steddon's room and said, in a quiet tone: "I want to tell you something. I'd rather break your heart than deceive you any longer." "Why, honey! Why. Mem dear, what on earth is it? You can't break this tough old heart of mine. What is it?" She whispered it so softly that her breath was hardly syllabled. "Mamma, I'm going to have— "You! You! My baby! You! A baby!" Mem nodded and nodded till her knees were on the floor and her brow in her mother's lap. Old hands came grippingly about her cheeks. She felt the drip, drip of tears falling into her hair, each tear a separate pearl from a crown of bride. Then her mother frubbed at the dreadful question: "But who—who—" "Rwood!" Mrs. Steddor's decision was easy, and she made no difficulty of the gross deeds involved. Her husband must be protected in his illusions and protected from the necessity of wrecking his high moral principles on his own child. His child must be protected from the mergerless world and the immediate wrath of the village.

Unless it is properly shampooed, rinsed, dried and waved, it often becomes dry and yellowish or streaked. Here is a particularly good shampoo for this type of hair: Slice a cake of pure Castile soap and mix with it one-half ounce of potassium carbonate and three ounces of water. Let simmer until thoroughly dissolved, then add one ounce of glycerine. Blend and add more water to the mixture if necessary. Shampoo in the usual fashion.

Under her bright red hat it looked distinctly blue in color. The effect was weird and not at all attractive as so many startling effects may be. In drying white hair avoid strong heat. This rule applies to all types of hair, but for gray or white hair, which is usually inclined to be dry or brittle, it is doubly important. To dry it well, gently rub the hair and scalp with soft, warm, Turkish towels to absorb the moisture. White or silver hair should never be waved with a hot iron, as the action of intense heat is yellowing. Instead use a warm iron, or wags with "water wave" combs.

Hints for the Home by Nancy Hart The roadside or picnic dinner may seem a troublesome ordeal to the one who must prepare it, but neverthe- less, it should be indulged in frequently, for nothing is so healthful, so full of zest as the meal cooked out of doors. For this purpose, keep tucked away on a special shelf the shabby pans and dishes discarded for general use; these snake excellent picnic utensils you will not hesitate to use. And keep on hand a supply of paper plates, cups and napkins, and those cunning composition forks and spoons that can be had at the ten cent store. The secret of a roadside dinner is its simplicity. To cook too much beforehand quite spoils the fun. So plan mems that are easy as well as tempting. Countless good things that fit into the out-door environment require very little time to prepare. An Easy Picnic Dinner Bacon Sandwiches (grilled in the open) SEVEN Baked Sweet Potatoes (parboil beforehand and mish in camp fire) Tomatoes with mayonnaise Fruit—Small Cakes Beverage Hot or Cold Better Baked Beans It improves the flavor of baked beans to use several kinds at the same time. For example, mix yellow-eyed beans, navy and kidney beans in equal quantities. Prepare according to usual recipe for Boston Baked Beans or add to the basic recipe a chopped onion and half green pepper chopped. Salad Delight Slice two bananas, dice 2 rings of pineapple, add 2 chopped pimentos, and a square of cream cheese cut in small cubes. Bland with cream mayonnaise and serve on iced hearts of lettuce. Use the juice from a can of pineapple with white grape juice, a little lemon and charged water to make most refreshing summer drink. Garnish with maraschino cherries and diced pineapple and serve over crushed ice. If you wrap ice-cold bottles of ginger ale or other beverage in many thicknesses of newspaper they will retain their temperature for several hours. Wrap each bottle separately, then wrap all together in more newspaper. of her age, her station in life or her income, well-dressed. That is as it should be.

SENATOR ARTHUR H. VANDENBERG, OF MICHIGAN, INVITED TO SPEAK AT NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION SESSION IN DETROIT, AUGUST 1ST AND 2ND. United States Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, of Grand Rapids, Mich., has been invited by President C. Francis Stradford to speak at the Annual Session of the National Bar Association in Detroit, Michigan, upon the subject "Re-Apportionment." Senator Vandenberg is the champion of a fair and politically just re-apportionment of political representation between the several States. The subject of re-apportionment is one of great interest to the Negro group at this time in view of the great agitation for the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution for the reason that the re-apportionment issue has within its lengthened shadow collateral consideration of the outrage against Fifteenth Amendment, which necessarily become involved when the number of Congressmen to which certain Southern States are entitled, is reduced by re-apportionment due to growth and shifting of population. It is expected that the most important and serious work of the Annual Session will be the work of the various standing and special committees and from the preliminary committee reports which have been filed in the office of Secretary Irvin C. Mollison, it is expected that many concrete and tangible proposals will be brought forward to improve the civil, political and economic status of our group as well as to raise the standards of professional efficiency and achievement. The Legislation Committee composed of Assistant Attorney General William Harrington, chairman, Herlih E. Moore, Charles J. Jenkins, bill of Chicago, Ill.; Representative G. M. Allen and Joseph McLamore, of St. Louis, Mo., will give especial attention in their report to the enactment of laws which will protect the civil and economic rights of our group. The Crimes of Lynching and Peonage and all forms of criminal activity designed to hold our group in subjection will be discussed by the Crime Committee, composed of Wendell E. Green, chairman, William H. Haynes, John M. Branion, all of Chicago; S. E. Garner, of St. Louis, Mo., and Scipio Jones, of Little Rock, Ark. Hostile legislation passed by State and City Legislatures designed to discriminate between citizens because of their race or color will be handled by the Committee on Discriminatory Legislation. This committee, composed of Homer Phillips, chairman, of St. Louis, Mo.; L. Amasa Knox, member of State Legislature of Missouri; Earl B. Dickerson, William E. King, member of Illinois Legislature, and Herbert A. Greenwood, all of Chicago, Ill., will report special methods for circumventing hostile laws, plans for securing their repeal, and ways and means of invalidating such laws by court action. Needful changes and reforms in the laws will be suggested by the Committee on Jurisprudence and Law Reform composed of Raymond Pace Alexander, chairman of Philadelphia, Pa., judge and attorney George, Thomas H. Johnson, of Mountains, Charles P. Howard, of Des Moines, Iowa, and Daniel Bowles, of St. Louis, Mo.

It does everything that a plane will do plus many other things that a plane cannot do, and the embryo flyer, who can keep his head after taking a few pins in the Orientator, is ready for his flying instructions. The photograph was made at Langley Field, Virginia, where West Point Cadets are given instructions in the art of flying. Many of our leading aviators have received training here. (Herbert Photos)
