White Taxi Chauffeur's Graphic Recital of Bridge Tragedy VOLUME XLVI NO. 37 DE FRAYS IN White T (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Lewis C. Frayer, driver of a Graham truck for Miller & Rhoads store, accompanied by Ollie Royster, formerly of this city, but on a visit here from Philadelphia, where he had been employed as a plumber's helper, went over the west side of the North Street Bridge, Saturday day night, July 27 1929, about 9 o'clock, and were almost instantly killed on the rocky bed of the river, something less than seventy-five feet below. Bodies Recovered The bodies were at once recovered and turned over by Dr. S. J. Baker, assistant city coroner, to Funeral Director A. D. Price, where they were embalmed. Later, Funeral Directors W. I. Johnson Sons took charge of the body of Lewis C. Frayser. Frayser is the brother of the well-known and popular James H. Frayser. The remains were conveyed to the family residence, 3 East Leigh Street, where a host of friends and acquaintances viewed them up to the time they were carried to the Ebenezer Baptist Church last Wednesday afternoon. White Chauffeurs Testify Coroner Baker held an inquest Wednesday morning in his office in the City Hall. O. B. Deane (white), who resides at 113 W. Thirty-third Street, said, "I was going to town. I saw a truck at Twenty-seventh and Semmes Avenue. The truck was running real slow, not more than 10 mph. I was started up in a blue Ford. Just as I got nearly opposite to him, he pulled over to the curb to let me get by, then suddenly, he veered to the left. He nearly struck me, but I went on the other side of the post. Speeded Up Just as I was near Cowardin Avenue, he caught up with me and I speeded up and he kept right behind me. I slowed up and let him by. I was making about forty miles per hour then. I drove on behind him until he turned the corner. At Seventh Street he nearly turned over there. Then when he turned around the corner, he came near striking another car. He did not hit the car. Then he went straight on. Near the R. R. bridge, he crossed the south car track. Hung Up There A man feet hung up at the entrance to the bridge and he came near striking him. But he straightened up. He made a few big zags. Just twenty feet from Jones, he cut into Jones just like he did me on Semmes Avenue. He struck Jones' car on the left front fender. The truck was making about thirty miles an hour. He went just the length of the Ford, when the truck turned on the bridge to the rear of the Ford and heading west jumped the guard rail and dived right off the bridge to the river bed below. Behind Street Car L. W. Smith (white), who lives at 203 N. Mulberry Street, said: About 9 o'clock Saturday night, I was close behind the street car with another car between me and the street car going south. I did not see the car go over the bridge. I was on the car over the Jones' car after it was struck. I had to move the Jones' car. Jones was headed due south. It was on the track about straight. Jones' car was struck on the left side. Was Going South E. W. Everett (white), 322 W. Main Street, said; I got up on the bridge about 9 o'clock. I was going south with a load of passengers. I got down and asked what was the matter and they said that a truck had gone over the bridge. They thought the men had jumped out. I didn't see the accident. I had a spotlight that would throw a beam 500 feet and with it I could see the truck and one of the men in it. Got Men Out I went down there at the C. & O. trestle. Both men were in the truck. I got the man with the gash in his head from behind the wheel. (This was Frayser). The other man was wedged behind the other man. Both were in the front seat and were wedged against the rock and the truck. I got the men out of the rock. My niece. The rock was forced to the right of the truck. Both men were living when I took them out. It was 9:21 when I got there and they died at about twenty minutes to 10 o'clock. On a Large Rock The truck was resting on a large rock at an angle of about 45 degrees. The men lived about twenty minutes after I got them out. The truck was upside down. I took them out from the right hand side. A fifteen-year-old white boy reached there about the same time I did. He helped me with one of the men. This conduced the inquest. The case was later called in the Police Court. Judge T. Gray Haddon heard the testimony of one witness and dismissed the charge against Herman Jones. (Continued on page 8.) RICHMOND ,VIRGIN1A, SATURDAY AUGUST 3 1929 ```markdown ``` Powerful Plea for Observance of 'Landmarks Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks Delivers Great Sermon. (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Despite a sweltering hot night, a large congregation assembled at the Second Baptist Church last Sunday, 8 P. M. to listen to that "prince" of pulpit divines, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D., pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Washington, D. C. Rev. Joseph T. Hill, D. D., the brilliant pastor, was at his best, too, in feliciting Rev. Dr. Brooks upon his many religious triumphs, having been pastor of that church fifty-two years ago. Radio Sermons Rev. E. S. Smith occupied a seat on the rostrum and Rev. Dr. Brooks expressed his pleasure at seeing him there. The text was 122nd Psalm, first verse, "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord." Subject, "Why I Go to Church." We are living in a time when people say that they can get better sermons over the radio. It is too hot. I go to church to please God. It is my Father's will that I go to church. The church was founded by God himself. Building Not the Church The building is not the church. It is called the church because the people worship in the church. Jesus came upon the scene and he called out a people and they are the church. It is displeasing to God when you don't go to church. When you stay home, you are breaking down the church. If everybody stayed at home there would be no church. You can't keep the precepts of God by sitting at the radio. You should come on Sunday to listen to the sermon. I come to church to worship God. The Duty to Worship You do not come to see what your sister is wearing. You come to worship God. I want to see you. Your business in the church is to worship. God is to be honored. Worship God in the beauty of holiness. The fathers worshipped God. I know the time when people went to the church in the morning and at night. Some walked ten miles. Now because the street car does not run up to the church door you say it is too hot or too cold. **Prompt at Work** You go to your work wet or dry. God is worthy of the worship of all his saints. I go to church to bring my tithes and offerings to God. God gave you the help. He gave you the job. Give Him His part. If you do it all, one day there will be cracking in your bones and you will wonder what is the matter. You have been robbing God. You have M. B. Pastor 19th St. Baptist Church; Washigtoh D.

Holmes, Supreme Master, National Ideal Benefit Society, Inc., 210 E. Clay Street, Richmond, Va. My dear Sir: I want to thank you and our Noble Order for the promptness for aid in the time of need and for truthfulness. So many of our Orders are dying for the lack of a real head, men of honor, men who value time and their word. So sure was I of the check as promised me by you that in leaving my office Tuesday I made out deposit slip and gave instructions before leaving for the country, on my return I found everything O. K. Now in this case I feel that special mention should be made, since our Brother Allen Butler, who had just died last Thursday and a member of a lodge not in my city where I could get my hands on his officers, yet you and your noble office force relieved me and the beneficiaries of that worry and in less than a week his death claim was paid. If there is any one thing that will make our grand old Order grow it's your method of conducting affairs. Again I wish to thank you and ask the blessings of God on you and the Order. I am fraternally yours, THOMAS H. BROWN, Undertaker. SHILOH BAPSTAT ASSOCIATION TO MEET AT CISMONT VA. The Shiloh Baptist Association will meet Wednesday, August 7, 1929, at Cismont, Cobham, Va.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA THE "FLYING EYES" OF UNCLE SAM: Thirty years ago, when publications like Old Cap Collier, Nick Carter, King Brady, and The James Boys, were the literature read by the juniors, man who signed himself "Noname" used to write stories that made one believe he was an advanced "nut." Also like Verne, most of the things he imagined have come to pass. Back in 1899, he visioned the time when the Navy would have "flying eyes." The old folks never took the time to read his writings. They looked upon his fiction as unfit to read: But "Noname" had visions that they lacked. All this is but an introduction to this photograph showing the scout planes aboard the U.S.S. "Wyoming." One of the planes is kept constantly poised for flight. Scout planes today are considered an essential part of the equipment of the modern battleships of all the leading nations. (Herbert Photos).

This is more than double the total of 6,000,000,000 cans which it is estimated were made in 1921. Great expansion by the can-making industry has been necessary to meet this demand. The American Can Co. the largest in the industry, now has 59 shops and plants in the United States, Hawaii and Canada as shown in the accompanying map and since 1921 has expended two-thirds of its commercial share. 69,172,000 cans last year. THERE, NOW PINKY, TO DO THAT HURT ME JUST AS MUCH AS IT HURT YOU O-OW! YES! BUT YOU CAN SIT DOWN! --- This Week By Arthur Brisbane MAN DEFEATS NATURE. CHAIN STORE GROWTH. UP GOES WHEAT. A BIRD BOOTLEGGER. Man consistently surpasses the performances of nature. Locomotive and automobile outrun the deer. Airplanes already outfly any bird, and will do better when they stop imitating birds and create an entirely new plane. Bulls of Bashan bellowed and were heard afar. The microphone talks around the world. Man's latest defeat of nature is the creation of an artificial ear, "a thousand times more sensitive than the human ear, that picks up the faintest danger signals coming through the fog and tells the direction whence they come." Anything that men can imagine they can do. Forty-five chain store organizations in June, did $236,281,747 business, gaining 23 per cent in a year. Sears, Roebuck stands first with June sale of $25,747,979; Woolworth next, $23,000,000; Montgomery Ward third, $21,000,000. Newspaper publishers are interested in the policy of General Wood, a West Pointer, now president of Sears, Roebuck He is constantly building retail stores, promoting them with newspaper advertising. Roebuck, it is said, plan several retail stores in all big cities, one in each smaller city. While the Government thinks about it, Mother Nature helps some farmers by injuring the wheat crop here and in the Canadian Northwest. The price of wheat went up everywhere, Chicago, Winnipeg, London, Buenos Aires, touching $1.36 a bushel. The price was 96 cents for each wheat. It is not so important for those farmers whose wheat is "irreparably ruined." W T. Logan, Christian missionary returning to Buffalo, from the headwaters of the Zambesi, tells of a little bird that makes a hole in the river bank clay, fills it with fruit, lets it ferment and develops alcohol. At the proper time the bird returns to its little clay vat, takes a drink and will fight anything. What could our prohibition forces do about that? Satan, of course, educated that bird, far back in the Garden of Eden, very likely Reigh Count Here Funeral Parlor Rest Rooms Display Rooms Lodge Rooms Phones: Office Ran.2073. Residence Ran.2703.

The colored barbers are about to be legislated out of existence. It begins to look as though the Democratic machine is really disintegrating. The August Democratic primary may prove to be a surprise to both wings of the Democratic Party. Race prejudice had its draw-backs but it also has its advantages. Few of us can see the latter. You cannot win in the battle of life by shirking responsibilities. You must meet the issues squarely and fight it out to the end. Colored folks are doing mighty well in view of the fact that many white folks are fighting them and they are fighting amongst themselves. You may find your way in this world rough, but it will be smooth on the other side, whether it be sliding downward or climbing upward. People who say that women do not wear any clothes should examine and read carefully the clothing bills for what they do wear. From this angle, they wear more than they ever did, although none of us can see what they wear. New York State has a law making it a crime for a citizen to be in possession of a revolver unless he gets a special permit so to do. This is done in the face of the constitutional provision that the "Right to keep and bear firearms shall not be infringed." In the meantime practically every criminal is in possession of a revolver. Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt is much concerned over the revolts which have taken place in two of the most modern prisons in that State and he accredit it to the severity of the punishment of the Baumes Law. It makes misdemeanors when repeated felonies and imposes life imprisonment for minor offenses. This has proven to be the outcome of all such actions in all ages. It led finally to the down-fall of Russia. When nations permit themselves to be governed by little men, who discard the teaching of the ages, the result must necessarily follow which disconnect and disconcert all government. It is not the severity of the punishment that checks crime, but the certainty of it." ```markdown ``` The stores are full of artificial ficial beauty. But there is only or Pomade!

Our God will glorify you in health, in peace and in loot life. Go to church to hold communion with God, to be lost to the world, while you hold holy communion with God. When you are with God, you seem to be caught up. The people who are on the dance floor have their joy by dancing all night. It is said that Enoch walked with God. How sweet it is. Home Worship I go to the church of God to observe God's ordinances. You can't stay at home and do that. You must come up to the house of the Lord. Isn't it sweet to enjoy God's holy ordinances? I go up to the church of God because I am weak and need strength. Brother, you may think yourself strong, but you need God. It is not by your power that you are tramping over the influences of hell. It is by the power of God. A Great Question Have you any sorrows, any trials? Go up to the house of God. Your trials and afflictions will cry out, I glory in trials and afflictions because the love of God is shed abroad in your heart. I've been going to church for seventy years of my life. Rev. Dr. Brooks then gave a brief review of his family history in this city. He continued: I go to the church of God that I may be a scholar and learn of the wisdom of God. Want to Be Taught I go to the house of God to be taught. There is not a man who has ever graduated in the Bible. We have been shown wonders in astronomy and science. Man is just beginning to know of the wonders of the world. Come up to God's house and let us learn. Let us learn how to behave ourselves; learn to be truthful, just under all circumstances. The everlasting arm is under us. Come and let us learn. Spiritual Power I go to church to receive spiritual power to be built up in Christ. You can tell where there is gambling.

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 not 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 ro5, 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.

I believe it is generally accepted as a very high compliment. I read yesterday where a newspaper writer said, "The man who declares his life to be an open book is a half-brother to Ananias." I have heard many candidates for substantial official honors say, "My record is an open book; any man is welcome to read it." More sober thought convinces me that no man's record is fully spread out for public scrutiny, neither should it be. In every life there is something to which the general public has absolutely no right. A man's official record may be read by his supporters or enemies alike, provided the same be of record; but the spirit behind those official acts may be known by no man. Very few men have the time or inclination to waste several days perusing a book that is wholly personal to its author; a book lying open on a table may have a chapter or pages exposed to view that are of no earthly interest to nine readers out of ten; the volume is of no more interest open than it would be closed. So, no man's life is an open book, whatever his position in society or in life. It is proper to be so. Men have fought and killed other men over disputed views of existing records. Seldom do two men hold the very same view of a neighbor, a public servant, a nation beyond seas; what does it matter that the "books" are open? My life is not an open book; neither is yours. I do not invite inspection of all my deeds by my fellows; I do not wish to pry into things not my business; and, the world is neither worse nor better, by our leaving each other's private affairs alone. There are a great many extravagant things said that would be quite as well passed over in silence. ```markdown ``` Harry Richman believes in putting her feelings on record.

It is predicted that, with the enormously heavy booking of the movie on screens all over the United States and the constantly growing population of Boston, this place will be the new mark in Brunswick record sales. Al Jolson will "Say It With Songs" in his forthcoming picture—again! Four new numbers written especially for Warner Brothers' new release, "Say It With Songs," will be offered simultaneously from the screen, on Brunswick records, and on sheet music when the new all-talking-singing picture has its premiere showing. In the picture above, Al Jolson is shown holding the first pressing of the new song, "Little Pal," and his smile indicates that he is well pleased with the prospects of adding another hit to his long list. Jolson is by far the most popular star of the singing screen and on records. His "Sonny Boy," theme song for "The Singing Fool," smashed all sales marks both on sheet music and records. The Brunswick record already has surpassed the million mark and is still listed among the best sellers every month. "He is he is to Davey Lee," has the child star, with him bim Besides "Little Pal," three other songs play a prominent part in the picture—"I'm in Seventh Heaven," "Why Can't You," and "Used to You." Jolson has recorded all of them for Brunswick. GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY. American Crossing Hard-Bound Not by 13 Million Bibles a Year! GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY FROM PAINTING BY PLOCKHORST Midship youth may not practice religious belief as soon as the grandmother and a sister of James Grey, husband of the 2020 Diddle Institute, Chicago, but "he is more universally interested in education and an academic education in a sincere effort to learn his personal value to him." The increased interest in religious study with the Bible as its center, is demonstrated by the constant growth of the "Family Altar League," a non-sectarian organization which encourages parents to gather their children around them in the home for religious institution or prayer," says John Meredith Chicago, secretary of the league which now is backed by many well-known business men throughout the United States. The four pictures of modern youth is badly at focus and the most it is that interest in bible study and religion is notally on the mind among the rising generation, especially in the cities. It is also so intriguing as a "bible belt" in America say religious leaders and publishers of bibles and bible-study courses, who have been making an analysis of the reasons for the steady increase in bible sales since the world war. Sales statistics so gathered disclose that the city is just as good a market for religious items as the town. "About 17 million bibles and tens of thousands of bible-study courses were sold in the United States as year," states G. E. Bogart, commissioner of the U.S. bible-touring organization, who has been gathered the business sector of the survey, "and 1029 premises to smash all previous records. The increased use of bibles in hotel rooms is the final confirmation of these facts, says Fred Fulton, Milwaukee, the successful automotive equipment manufacturer who also is international president of the Gideon society supplying bibles gratis to hotels. "We find no difficulty now in getting hotels to let us supply a bible for every room," he says. "The bible is getting to be standard equipment and the extent to which it is used proves it is growing more popular every day." "One bible house alone has seventy-five thousand republitatives and distributing channels this year, more than one-sixth of which will be bibles the entire year through. The 1928 sales of bible-study courses run in several hundred thousand countries, the majority in the state and down." Sunday School Lesson Stories from Daniel's life have a fascination for children and continue to give great teaching lessons also to those of older years. As a book of romance the Bible reveals the truth that is stranger than fiction. Joseph became prime minister in Egypt because of his innate worth and the same is true of Daniel in Babylon. As he had been a marked man under the Chaudean rule, so he was preferred by Darius the Mede who became the conqueror. The governmental organization consisted of 120 satrps with three presidents. Daniel was the leading president. The fact that he was a Jew led to much jealousy by the other officials and they planned to do away with him if possible. and they planned to do so. Religion offered the one sure ground of attack, for these evil men were certain what Daniel would always do in his relationship with God. With Daniel's dependable habits in mind it was agreed at the caucus to appeal to the king's pride and propose that a degree be promulgated for bidding anyone to pray during thirty days except as Darius was the object of their approach. The penalty for disloquence was to be cast into the den of lions. was to be cast into the sea. Sypers were watching Daniel who had the known habit of praying to Joshua at least three times a day. He would open the windows in the direction of Jerusalem, 500 miles away as the airplane now flies, and kneel devoutly in his approach to the Throne of Joshua. The degree did not change his heart attitude in any way, and when the next prayer time came, he just prayed "as he did aforetime." God was continuous and conscious to him and he naturally "Gave thanks before his God." Prayer was an essential part of his life and not a spasm when in fear because, of some special need. Then the plotters forced to kneel, Daniel to the den of lions. Daniel was the coolest in the crowd. He feared to dishonor God for more than to face the lions. Here was but another place for prayer. He remained himself to his Father, then said, "Amen," and was ready. He may have used a high's shaggy skin for a soft pillow. He may have used a high's shaggy skin for a soft pillow. He may have used a high's shaggy skin for a soft pillow. SOULS SALE by RUPERT HUGHES ILLUSTRATED BY DONALD RILEY ```markdown ``` Second Instalment And at last Mem was standing on the back platform of a train bound for the vast Southwest, throwing kisses to her father and mother as they watched the train dwindling like a telescope drawn into itself. They turned back to their lives and they had closed a door upon them. But Mem, as she returned to her place in the car, felt as if a porcellus had lifted. Before her was All-Outdoors. The wheels ran with a rollicking hit beneath the girl's body, throbbing likewise with a zest of velocity. Through her head an old tune ran: I saw the boat go round the ben't. Good-by, my lover, good-by! The deck was filled with traveling men. Good-by, my lover, good-by! She was on a train going round head after a bend, and the train was filled with traveling men. Some of them, as they zigzagged along the axles, swept her face and her form with glances like swift, lingering and was hard to let her go. This was a starting sensation, a new kind of nakedness for her in- experience such as: The men the women flung along the账 also widened and tarned as they recognized in her a something she had not yet found attractive. She was plainly dressed and had never been adorned. Only her neat nails kept her from shabness. But she had beauty and appeal. On the train Men had expected to find on the journey leisure for constriction and the remodeling of her soul. But the world would not let her alone. Everything was new to her. Everything was a crowded film of novelty. She knew the minimum of the oceane sphere possible to a girl who had had any education at all. She had never been on a sleeping car before. She had read no novels except such sweetened water as the Sunday-school library afforded. She had no magazines at home except church publications. She had been on a theatre or a moving picture. She had never danced even a square dance. She had never ridden a bicycle or a horse, and had never been in any automobile except some old bone-shaker that drowned conversation in its own rattle. She had never gambled, or beer profane or even slangy or disrespectful to her parents. She had never seen a cocktail. She had never worn a low-necked, high-skirted dress. She had never dressed anything suit or had one on Girls did not swim or Calverly. In fact, she had escaped all the things that moralists point to as the reasons why girls go wrong. Yet she had, as the saying is, gone wrong—utterly, indubitably. Yet no fast young men had led her astray, or so much as tried to lead her astray. She had never made the acquaintance of a fast young man. Her betrothed lover was slow and honorable and religious, everything a young man ought to. But, unfortunately, there seemed to be volition in neither of them; they had just floated together with a mysterious bewilderment. The clanking uproar of the entrance into Kansas City filled her ears. Mem had never seen a great city, and this metropolis had a tremendous majesty in her eyes. Remember, thinking to stretch her legs on the station platform, joined the passengers who shook the straight corridor along the row of compartments. One of the doors opened and trained a tall and powerful young man with a peculiarly wistful face. His eyes wrinkled. Mem and he lifted his hat as he heaked her hands he had not be She saw the gallant was the tall youth who had crushed past her in the corridor. He knocked at another steel door and called through. "Oh, Robina, better come out for a bit of exercise." While he waited, some of the passengers were twisting their necks to watch him, and mudging and whispering to one another. When the door opened and Robina stepped out there was such a sensation and such a boorish staring that Meta turned to look. She was on an almost dazzling beauty came out, smiling dared beheaded. She noted the yokeliness in the corridor, and her smile died. She stepped back into She saw the gallant was the tall you corridor. her stateroom, and when she reappeared, she wore a large drooping hat and a thick black veil. "I envy you the privilege of the veil" the young man said. Meem walked up and down the platform as if her feet were winged. She felt a longing to buy something for the sheer sport of buying, and went so far as to buy two magazines devoted to the moving pictures. One of the magazines slipped from under her elbow and fell to the ground and as she stooped to recover it her hand touched a hand that had just anticipated hers. She looked up quickly and her head knocked off the hat of the man who had tried to save her the trouble of picking up her magazine. She saw the gallant was the tall youth who had crushed past her in the corridor. His face came up again like sun shining across her horizon; his eyes beat upon her like long beams. There was a kind of pathos in them, but also a great brightness, which, like the sun he poured into million alike. But Mem did not know this. She felt warmed all over, and she bloomed a trifle as she does when the sun gilds it. With great calm and as much of a bow as he could make without a sense of intrusion, the young man solemnly offered Mem his own hat and laid her magazines on his head. Then both of them laughed as he corrected the automatic mistake of his muscles. He blushed hotly, for he was not used to such blunders. Mem found an amazing magnetism in his smile and in his eyes. She did not know that that sad smile of his was making a millionaire of him. He was selling it by the foot—thousands of feet of it. His smile was broad enough to circumscribe the world and his eyes had enough sorrow for all the audiences. He turned back to the waiting Robina. Robina was evidently not used to being kept waiting. She had had little practice. She presented the slight with such quick wrath that Mem could hear her protesting sarcasm, a rather disappointing rebuke: "Don't hurry on my account, Tom." Two young girls assailed Tom with shameless idolatry. One of them rattled: "Oh, Holly, we knew you the minute we laid eyes on you. You're our fave-rite of all the screen stars, and— You got no photografts with you, have you?" Tom was inடomitably polite, but the conductor's call, "All aboard!" gave Robina an excuse to drag him away from the worshippers. One of the girls, in an epilepsy of agitation, wailed: "Say, looky! That lady under the veil is Robina. Teele! Gee! and we didn't reco-nize her!" The train was emerging from the retreating walls of the city before Mem felt calm enough to examine her magazines. On the cover of one of them was a huge head of Robina Teele, all eyes and curls and an incredibly huskous mouth. Remember had never heard of her or seen her pictures because her films were great "future operations" too on There was a long article short, and another about Tools. This was not an amazing book. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Ma azine Page had press agents who would have been charged if any motion-picture periodical had appeared without some blazon of their employers. Mem stared longest at the various pictures of Tom Holly. She found him in all manner of costumes and athletic achievements, and she read the rhapsody on him first. Having never seen a moving picture of anybody, she had never seen him. She forgot for a long while that she was a widow-of a very poor sort, for it came to her in an avalanche of shame that she was neither re- youth who had crushed past her in the spectable nor a widow. But she was a fugitive now from her past and from such thoughts, and she caught up the magazines with a desperate eagerness, as if they were cups of nepenthe. * * * * * After dinner Mem found her way to the observation car and wrote a letter home. She was sealing it when she suddenly remembered Doctor Bretherick's prescription. She was to take a lover on the first day! She had mentioned nobody that she had met. Now she must describe the important man that she would never meet. He was an imaginary, and therefore a quite perfect, character. She wrote. Oh, I forgot! Whom do you suppose I ran into on the train? You'd never guess in a million years. You know when I wanted to Carthage to take care of Aunt Mabel? Well, do you remember my telling you about the awfully nice man I met at church? Mr. Woodville was his name. Remember? Well, would you believe it, he is on this train! Isn't it a small world! He has been most kind and polite. I met him in church, as you remember, and somehow I feel much safer not being alone. I'm sure you'll be glad. He's very religious, but awfully nice—I mean, so, of course, awfully nice. Good night again, you darlings! Being told that they recollected Mr. Woodville, her parents obligingly remembered him. Mrs. Steddon had been warned of this fiction and collaborated in it. Doctor Steddon was one of those who believe almost anything they read, especially when they hope for its truth. And there was nothing he hoped for so much as that his child should meet a good man and love him and be loved by him. Mem spent most of the next day planning her second letter home and growing acquainted with that husband of hers. She used Tom Eckhart to cross the desert the train came to an abrupt halt. A driving bar on the engine had broken and dropped. If the train had not been puffing slowly up a steep grade it would have been derailed and some of the passengers probably mangled and killed. It was a long while before the passengers found this out, and they reveled in the delight of averted disaster. Nobody knew how long the train would be delayed. They could not go on until a new engine was secured. A trainee had to walk to the next block signal tower, miles ahead, and telegraph back for another locomotive. Mem wandered about, looking at the cactus and nagebrush and deliciously expecting a rattlesnake under every clump. She saw Tom Hobby set out for a brisk walk. He elicited a ragged butte with scabbing ability, skimming the apples of the passengers. He had the ability of acquiring new phases.

[ ] SEND US YOUR ORDER FOR Wedding and Visiting Cards —WM BROWNE nose is such an annoying feature—it can do more to upset one's self confidence than any other defect of good grooming. And shiny noses are so common in warm weather. Before I discuss the ways of selecting a summertime face powder I am going to advise you to use a "shine" corrective during these warm, sultry months before you apply your makeup. A special lotion or a liquid astringent skin tonic which corrects "shine" will preserve your makeup longer and also normalize the function of those over-active pores. In choosing your powder be sure to get one dark enough—it should be at least as dark as your skin, and to be fashionable, one or two shades darker. A powder with a cream base, specially created to "stay put" is much to be preferred in warm weather. Such a powder, in addition to being an attractive and convenient cosmetic, actually provides a certain desirable amount of protection for your skin against detrimental, weathering effects. Huling Rubrstein CREATIONS OF MALLINSON'S SILKS: Midsummer, with its many changes of weather and multitudes of events, demands a great variety in Milady's wardrobe for city, country, mountains or seaside. Suits for morning and smart afternoon wear as well as sport events. The one-piece dress of wash silk, crepe or indestructible voile, for daytime comes in an endless variety of colors and patterns this year. For formal afternoon and evening frocks, the new indestructible voile is taking its place with georgette and chiffon, and the transparent velvets which easily lend themselves not only for gowns, but also for the elaborately draped wraps, are being widely used. The ensemble suit of silk crepe with blouse of pussy willow is a favorite among the debuntantes and young matrons for it combines style with comfort and can be worn on all occasions. The four fashions shown here are selected from a great number by America's loremost "Buyers"—The business of a Buyer" is to properly gauge the garment he or she believes has all those essential lines that will make it popular with the women. Mallinson's Silks are used in all four. The top left shows an afternoon or evening frock of indestructible voile. The top right, a one-piece frock of wash silk for daytime wear. The bottom left, a transparent evening wrap. The bottom right, an ensemble of silk crepe with blouse of pussy willow. (Herbert, N. Y.) Hints for the Home by Nancy Hart It is just common sense to use package foods wherever possible. Dust and personal handling, germs and whatnot are kept from these foods where it is impossible to give bulk foods the same protection. This is one of the so-called "food fads" that one may inquire in without fear of contradiction from any source, for in helping to keep foods fresh it contributes as much to economy as it does to health. Another so-called fad that is acknowledged to be good practice is the habit of choosing foods that are not over-refined. This applies chiefly to cereals, corn meal, flours and rice, where the most beneficial substance is found close to the outer hull of the product, and is lost through over-leaching, bolting and polishing.

It seems that the Free Bridge has now become a veritable death trap under certain conditions. The side or guard rail is about twelve inches high and bevelled to promote the riding of the same over the footwalk. The iron rail on the side of the footwalk will not withstand much pressure from a human body much less from a car or truck.

These youngsters born in Siam, where the king has his own private herd, may, some time become members of the pre-poored royal herd, but just now they are worrying about nothing.
