THE RICHMOND PLANET VIRGINIA AUG 10 1929 STATE LIBRARY John Garland Pollard Is Nominated For Governor. NEGRO DEMOCRATS BARRED FROM VOTING IN THE PRIMARY. Governor Byrd's Machine Wins. Democrats Will Face Opposition Ticket In Richmond. VOLUME XLVI NO. 39 NE BARR Governo The lead of John Garland Pollard over G. Walter Mapp for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination climbed to 71,815 with returns from 1,470 of the State's 1,681 precincts tabulated. The total vote had reached 133,924, of which Pollard had 100,577; Mapp, 28,762, and Rosewell Page, 4,585. The Richmond County returns, yet官假, gave Pollard a 5,323 lead over Mapp, and a 4,055 majority over the combined votes of Mapp and Page. The tally was Pollard, 9,070; Mapp, 3,747, and Page, 1,268. In the Richmond local contests John E. Rose, Jr., was renominated as commissioner of revenue over Pell S. Rogers; H. Calvin Farmer was renominated high constable in his three-cornered battle with Wilbur J. Conigw and Conway C. Mundy; Herbert L. Hulce was renominated city treasurer over Shelton W. Davis, and Walter Christian, incumbent clerk of hustings court, defeated Roland B. Liggan. Hill Montague was nominated to the senate vacancy, defeating J. Wicker, Jr., Joseph C. Nunnally and Spencer Holdcroft. W. H. Adams and Charles W. Moss are the new nominees for the two vacancies in the Richmond delegation to the house of delegates, and the four incumbent delegates were renominated in the thirteen-place contest. They were J. Vaughan Gary, E. C. Folkes, Charles W. Crowder and James P. Jones. The survivors in the forty-nine-place race for justice of the peace, according to unofficial returns, are: Madison Ward—Ernest B. Bass, Walter B. Gentry and John M. Harding. Lee Ward—W. H. Carrier, Jr. Norvell W. Atkinson and R. C. Duke. Jefferson Ward—Collier Gibson, Gordon P. Smith and Emmett M. Andrews. Clay Ward—Irvine N. Wharton, Jr. Gordon R. Crowder and Charles W. Atkinson. The apparent election of Mr. Atkinson developed when it was indicated by unofficial figures that his vote outstripped that Claude M. Barfoot. It was believed that the official tabulation will show Atkinson leading by 49 votes. The Democratic primary election in this city passed off quietly in this city. There was but little interest. Colored Democrats were in evidence, but they were not allowed to vote. However, M. A. Norrell asserted that he voted in the primary at the second precinct, Madison Ward. Dentist Leon A. Reid and R. V. Dorsey were out of the city during the day, but claimed to have taken advantage of the absent voters' law and had secured ballots from Mr. Woodson at the City Hall previously. The im- plication being that they were placed in the ballot box and counted. West There Again James O. West, the plaintiff in the case pending before Judge D. Lawrence Groner, accompanied by his counsel, J. R. Pollard, applied at the first precinct, Madison Ward, for a ticket to vote and was denied the privilege. Pharmacist A. M. Bowles applied at the same precinct for a similar privilege and was turned down also. As a result, a party composed of attorney R. O. Ward, D. Bowles, M. O. West, M. Alphonso Norrell applied to Judge John L. Ingram, of the Hustings Court of this city, for relief, but was referred to Judge Julien Gunn, of the Circuit Court. Judge Absent Judge Gunn had not been in his office during the day and there the matter rested. It may be that each of the other Democrats, who was denied the right to vote will enter similar suits for damages in the United States District Court for similar cases. COALITION GROUP TO WAGE EIGHT FOR CITY JOBS Independent Ticket to Have Indorse ment of G. O. P. and Anti-Smith Voters Democratic nominees from Richmond city for local city offices as well as for the House of Delegates and Senate, will be opposed in the general election on November 6th by "independent" candidates with Republican and anti-Smith indorsement, according to the present outlook. A group of "independents" in the city, almost all of whom are young men, and all of whom are said to favor Dr. William Moseley Brown, nominee of the G. O. P. and anti-Smiths for Governor, is behind the movement to give the Richmonds who are nominated in the primary on last Tuesday, a run for their money in the election. From an authoritative source it was learned yesterday that a "slate" of candidates is now being prepared by this organization of independent, and that steps have been taken with a view of securing the indorsement of the Republican and anti-Smith parties. The Republicans have assured the group that they will be pleased to cooperate in the movement, and to indorse the candidates brought forward, in so far as they are able to RICHMOND, VIRGIN1A, SATURDAY AUGUST 1Q, 1929. --- do so, and with due regard to the qualifications of those whose names are submitted. It is regarded as virtually a foregone conclusion that the anti-Smiths will also get behind the candidates in question. Names of the young men who launched the movement have not been made public, as yet, but it is believed that the identity of the leaders will be made known by the latter part of this month.—Ex. GRAND TREASURER OF ELKS REVEALS ORDER'S FINANCIAL SHRINKAGE (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Aug.—Charging the Finley Wilson administration of Elk affairs as having been utterly wasteful of the resources of the order and declaring that the Elks grand treasury today had less than one thousand dollars in the general fund, although when Wilson was elected in 1922 it had a bank account of more than $39,000, James C. Martin, grand treasurer, in a statement issued to the press here Tuesday, laid bare the financial condition of the great order. Mr. Martin made the report from the records in his office, pointing out that the money spent had been properly paid on vouchers, but charging that in many business checks did he order by the Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson, sent to his Washington rather than to the payee. "When Mr. Wilson was elected", said Mr. Martin, "he found the order in sound financial condition, with a bank balance and assets totaling $49,286.58. It is my opinion that the reckless expenditures of commissions and excessive personal expenses and per diem items have caused the skrinkage in the resources of the organization, coupled with the prodigal expenditures of the members' money on committees created at the Grand Lodge by the grand exalted ruler, to ingrate himself in the favor of sundry delegates, thus assuring his re-election. A fire of undetermined origin took place Sunday, August 4th, about 1 P. M., at the residence of Mrs. Julia A. Dawson, 1000 N. Fourth Street. Neighbors saw the smoke issuing from the home and called to Mrs. Dawson, who was seated on the front porch of the house next door. The firemen quickly extinguished walls of the kitchen, the bath room the flames, which had damaged the walls on the second floor. BAY SHORE HOTEL Four thousand pleasure-seekers from Richmond came by automobile and train to Bay Shore last Monday on the annual excursion of the Independent Beneficial Club. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad had run thirty coaches, in two sections, in order to accommodate the over 2,000 persons who patronized its lines. The I. B. C.'s brought their own musical aggregation and all day long there were music and dancing in the Bay Shore Hotel pavilion. Those who did not dance went boating, fishing, and sea bathing, and almost everyone did a little of each of these sports. From last Saturday all the available rooms in the Bay Shore Hotel have been filled, many persons making the excursion a week-end affair. Many of the guests, however, are here for their annual vacation, remaining for a week or more. Rev. and Mrs. E. G. Harris, Louisville, Ky., have registered for a ten-day stay. The Rev. Mr. Harris is pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church and director of the Plymouth Community Center, an auxiliary of the church. Mr. and Mrs. W. Taylor Seals Lincoln Institute, Lincoln Ridge, Ky., have left the hotel after a week's stay. Miss Lillyn Newswome, R. N., the only colored nurse connected with the North Carolina State Board of Health, is at the Bay Shore Hotel for a three-week sojourn. Miss Newswome's headquarters are in Raleigh, but her field takes her all over the State conducting pre-school clinics. Rev. R. P. Johnson, Kimball, W. Va, has returned to the hotel again this year. He is pastor of the Kimball Presbyterian Church, and engaged in other civic work. Next week Mrs. Johnson will join her husband. Distant States were again represented this week. Mrs. J. Newswome and T. A. Midgette registered from Philadelphia; Mrs. Edgar Latham from Portville, N. Y., and James W. Eichelberger from Chicago. Among the other guests were the following: Richington, D. C.; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Price, J. M. Scott. Norfolk, Va.; Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Brehn, C. A. Overton, Mrs. L. and M. Moseley, Mrs. M. E. Moseley, S. H. Williamson, Mr. and Mrs. B. Church, B. C.

GARVEY CONVENTION OPENS WITH PRAYER TO GOD AND GENEVA (Crusader News Service) Kington, Jamaica, August.—Idlewise Park was packed with curious natives this morning when the Sixth Convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association opened here with divine services, which was attended by the Mayor and members of the Kingston Corporation, who, apparently agreed that so long as the Garveyites contented themselves with praying to God and petitioning the imperialist League of Nations no real action would be taken by them towards the liberation of the African races and therefore the oppressors need have no fear. In the afternoon a procession of 1200 marched through the streets with bands, hammers and outriders. Garvey strutted ahead in naval form in memory of the defunct Black Star Line. He was followed by a line of Black Cross nurses, Boy Scouts, girl guides, delegates to the convention and many curious natives. It is understood here that Garvey intends making an appeal to the League of Nations on behalf of African liberation, ignoring or ignorant of the fact that the League of Nations is an instrument of the imperialist powers which are exploiting and oppressing the African natives and other Negro peoples. For the first time in the history of the U. N. I. A. conventions an organized opposition has developed against the policies of Marcus Garvey and today saw the crystallization of that opposition as a powerful group which intends to fight to the finish the policy of Garvey of the organization from the territory of the organization from New York to Jamaica in the effort to keep the organization under his personal control. The delegates opposed to this policy are mainly from New York, Chicago, and the South. W. B. F. Crowell Death From A Strange Malady The death of W. B. F. Crowell, Grand Chancellor, Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, had some peculiar features in connection therewith. As reported, he left Roanoke Sunday at midnight via N. & W. R. R., arriving in Norfolk at 7:30; where he was met by G. K. of R. & S. Newbie, who conveyed him to his home in Glasgow Street, Portsmouth Va., where breakfast was served by Newbie. Both were due to attend a Pythian business conference in Newport News that morning at 10:30 o'clock, so Crowell and Newbie went by automobile over the new bridge route, arriving at their destination on time. Dined There They dined over there, winding up at Gen. Stewart's residence. They returned to Portsmcuta at 3 P. M. and Crowell went to his room at 4 P. M. to sleep until 8 P. M. Later a luncheon, consisting partly of salad was served, then a drive of some ten miles was taken, after which Crowell went to his room. About 1:30 A. M. Tuesday morning, he tapped on the door of the Newbies and they found that he had on his trousers. He said he could not get his breath and that he was going to sit on the front porch. Physicians Called They accompanied him there and seeing that he was ill called in two physicians, who came over in their night clothes. They had not been with him more than two minutes when he died. This caused consternation as he had been in apparently good spirits that day, although he has been ailing for some time. He was over to Undertaker James A. Fisher, who prepared them for shipment to the deceased man's home at Roanoke. Trouble With Body In the meantime, decomposition had set in rapidly and the body was very offensive. It was shipped and upon examination at Roanoke, Underdertaker Hughes found he had a job on his hands. The body could PRICE FIVE OENTS rnor. TS MARY.

The Roanoke undertaker, however, succeeded in bringing order out of confusion and in making them presentable for the time being. Services were held and then the entire funeral cortege of some seventeen cars started on a 170-mile trip to Salisbury, N. C., to the deceased official's home, where his sister resides. The procession left Roanoke at about noon Thursday and arrived at its destination at about 6 P. M.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA NEW RELIGION OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY ХОДЕШТЬБИТЬ НАДОР РУЖИС МЫЛОМ МЫЛО ЗХБЫ ЧИСТИТЬ НОГТИ СТРИУ That Russia may be involved in war with China seems almost certain unless the Powers can force these two countries to observe the articles of the Peace Pact that became effective July 24th. On the surface the cause seems to be such a trivial thing as the ownership of a railroad. China has seized a Manchurian railroad built by Russia. As a result of the seizure the mobilization of Soviet troops has taken place in Manchuria. Here we see two soldiers of the Russian Red Army writing their hygeia commandments for the detachment of which they are a part. The army is teaching its soldiers the importance of hygiene and is stressing the fact that during their term in the army it is practically their religion. The Russians claim they do not desire to have a war with China and the Chinese are equally emphatic in their avowal of keeping the peace. The leading powers have offered their good offices to bring the crisis thus created to an amicable settlement. (Herbert N. Y.) THE WORLD'S LARGEST HYDROPLANE Now that the S. S. Bremen, German-built passenger liner, has broken all trans-Atlantic records by nine hours, another record breaker has been completed in Germany. This record breaker is something new in flying machines. This flying machine is so big that on an official inspection trip, it took visitors just three hours to see every part of the Queen of the Air. The photograph that is presented here is that of the world's largest hydroplane, The Dornier Superwal Do "X," built to carry 100 passengers and a crew of 12 officers and men. The monster flying ship has three decks and is driven by 12 Siemens-Jupiter motors, with a combined h.p. of 6200. It is expected that the ship will attain a speed of more than 250 kilometers an hour. With such remarkable progress being made in the field of aviation it will be but a matter of a few years before giant air liners will be competing with equally gigantic ocean liners for the commerce of the world—(Herbert Studios, Herb Pennock's Sensational Return to Form HE'S BEEN IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE FOR FOURTEEN YEARS AND CONNIE MACK DUG HIM UP!

HE'S SITTING ON THE FLY-PAPER AND THERE'S A LOT OF FLIES WAITING TO GO ON IT I This Week By Arthur Dickson BACK TO STOCKINGS. AMERICAN PROSPERITY. HOW MUCH FOR FARMERS? WITHOUT HOPE. Manufacturers of silk and other stockings hope that advertising will enable them to drive out the "bare leg craze, now allieting lovely women. Moralizing appeals to modest refinement won't do. Bare legs must be banished, as the almost universal habit of chewing tobacco was banished by public opinion. Some realize that an imitation of a butcher shop is not artistic and they will go back to stockings. Calvin Coolidge, tanned, smiling, beaming with health, is enthusiastic about American prosperity. He well may be. Money is made rapidly here. Three years ago an investing company was formed with $50,000. Now it issues $24,000,000 in six per cent preferred stock, and shows profits of over $100,000. Nevertheless DONT GAMBLE. That advice is probably useless. The public agrees with the distinguished Mr. B. Baer, who says: "If we can- not get our faces on Government money, the next best thing is to get your hands on it." Too many believe that gambling is the best way to get your hands on it. Farmers are told that the value of this year's wheat crop has increased $364,000,000 since June 1. How much of that the farmers will get, how much middle men, and especially wheat gamblers, will get nobody knows. Farmers might hire an intelligent wheat speculator to sell their crops for future delivery when prices are high. Present estimates show that the four big crops, wheat, corn, oats and rye, are worth $3,545,000,000, an increase of more than a thousand million dollars in two months. A savage outbreak of convicts in New York's Clinton Prison is easily explained. Too many "life" and "long term" prisoners were herded together. Lacking hope and its courage, you have a bad situation. Goethe said: "Money lost, SOMETHING lost." "Honor lost, MUCH lost." "Courage lost, EVERYTHING lost, better you were never born." 10 Walie Brush, 22, of the Tampa Club of the Southern League, who is reported to have been sold to the New York Giants for $12,500, which is the record price for players from the Southern Loop.

John Garland Pollard has been nominated as Democratic candidate for Governor in the Democratic primary held last Tuesday by a plurality of more than 70,000. His total vote is 100,000 and that of his nearest opponent, Hon. G. Walter Mapp, 28,762. The total number of white voters in the State is estimated to be approximately 320,000. Of this number, the largest vote cast in any election has been approximately 305,000. This would leave the outlook for November in which the Independent anti-Smith Democrat will figure to be exceedingly doubtful. If the Mapp vote of 28,000 should split and support Dr. William Moseley Brown, the outlook for the election of Hon. John Garland Pollard will be gloomy indeed. The total primary vote was approximately 145,000. If these people will stick to their moral pledges, then Hon. John Garland Pollard will be the next Governor of Virginia. As the matter stands, colored citizens will have an opportunity to make their political power felt at the polls either for or against the regular Democratic nominees. Which shall it be? MRS. WILLEBRANDT'S BLUNDER We must admit that we have no sympathy for Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, the brilliant lawyer, who occupied for eight years the position of Assistant Attorney General of the United States. She was merciless in her dealing with others, who had the misfortune to invoke her displeasure. Her action in dealing with colored leaders in the Southland was not only cruel, but brutal. This was particularly true in her attitude towards Special Assistant Attorney General Perry W. Howard, of Mississippi, for she refused to recognize the action of the Southern jury of white men, who unanimously acquitted him of any wrongdoing and she was not fair-minded enough to accord to him deserved recognition when a second white jury had rendered similar findings in another case. It seems though that it will be a source of much gratification to those whom she persecuted when they read the first installment of her series of letters to the New York Times, which began August 5, 1929. She has returned to private practice and she does not seem to realize to this day that her selfish egotism, her love for publicity and notoriety has brought her to her present condition and created a predicament on her part, which will subject her to additional humiliation and ridicule. She has reached a point in her career where her talk and writings upon this subject will serve only to make "a bad matter worse." She has had her day and silence should accompany her into her retirement. She will find that the series of twenty-one letters will prove to be her most monumental blunder. She unwittingly tells her enemies and detractors just where she was and is now most vulnerable. She says: It is good to be just a private citizen. I glanced a moment ago at some old diaries in the drawer of my desk, kept in the routine of daily office appointments, and noticed the entry, "August 29, 1921, Monday, 11 A. M., Appointment received --- SHAMPOOING, HAIR-CUTTING, SHAVING MASSAGING and Ladies and Children's Hair Bobbing. A corp of skillful hair artists always ready to serve. Call and be accommodated. from the White House; reporters and others began coming in." It has been like that every moment since. Reporters and the publisher. On that day in 1921 when I took the oath of office prescribed by law to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign or domestic, and bear it true faith and allegiance without mental reservation or evasion," knowing that the assignment to me was "defense with true faith" of the most controversial part of that Constitution, it was plain that I had something more than an honorary position. I had a job that demanded work and a lot of prayer to carry me through. I have no denominational allegiance to any church nor have my parents, but I do believe in prayer. I do revere and respect, contrary to belief in some quarters, the honest religious convictions of all my fellow-men. My purpose, however, is not to detail the trials and tribulations of Mabel Walker Willebrandt. Too much has been said about her already—certainly too much at times for comfort and pleasure. The trouble was that she did not recognize that part of the Constitution, in which the rights of Negroes in this country were guaranteed therein. She could use the machinery of the Federal Government for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, and could make lurid speeches in its behalf, but all the rest of that celebrated legal document had no meaning for her and she was under no legal or moral obligation, according to her notion to say anything in connection therewith. She says further: My only purpose in mentioning anything of an autobiographical nature is to give perspective enough for the reader to determine whether the facts I relate and the views I set forth are worthy of consideration. For thousands of people say: "Why should I pay any attention to Mrs Willebrandt?" She is not only a fanatic on the subject of prohibition; she is a religious bigot who tried to beat Al Smith, a Catholic by organizing the Protestants against him." To pretend that I have not been honestly hurt and disturbed by such comments would be false. I've been in politics long enough to expect and even welcome attack, but no decent person likes to be accused of ugly, intolerant motives. This then is a vulnerable place in her armor of pretended indifference. She quotes correctly the comment of her critics and opposers. She continues: For eight years I have been engaged in work that has aroused violent opposition from millions of citizens. Before me as this is written, are clippings from newspapers throughout the country commenting on my recent resignation as Assistant Attorney General of the United States. Some give me unstinted praise. Some quote the words of the President of the United States: "The position you have hold has been one of the most difficult in the government and one which could have awarded co-opted with such distinguished success by one of less ability and moral courage." It is worth a lot to have won that comment from him, but it does not stop leading papers from harsh editorial comment. Personal criticism rarely occurred prior to last Summer's campaign. I suppose, though, that every heated campaign must have its "straw man" to hang in effigy to appease a howling populace. In this campaign I seem to have been destined for that doubtful honor. Of course the much heralded Springfield, Ohio, "speech to the Methodists" wasn't an attack on the rival candidate's religion, and it wasn't in a church and I didn't go as a free lance" to embarrass the Republican committee! Mrs. Willebrandt is on the defensive from the start and this means the battle is lost to her before she has begun. She says: The simple truth is that over my own written protest I was urged by the Republican National Committee in two telegraphs (which now appear in the newspaper) that speech. The week before it was delivered every word of it was carefully edited by James Francis Burke, a Catholic, and counsel of the Republican National Committee. He did this at committee headquarters. The Democratic candidate's attack on me may have turned out to be doubtful wisdom politically, but it was just a part of political combat and not unfair. However, the anti-prohibitionists in my own party were both unwise and unfair. For they made common cause with Governor Smith when he attacked, shouting eagerly in effect, "Atta boy, All" When wet eastern Republicans started bombing me as a "free lance" and an "embarrassment" to the party, I had to choose whether to disclose the telegraphs and actually embarrass the committee, or keep still and take punishment. It seemed to me that good sportsmanship dictated 18 E. Clay St., THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIL. the latter course. She sizes up the situation again exactly when she says: The result is a general impression about the nation that I am a person obsessed with but a single, dominant determination—namely, the complete annihilation of "Demon Rum" and all of his consorts; and that I am bent on the jailing or executing of every person who dares raise a voice in opposition to the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act. But she confesses too much when she says: The fact is that before I took office in 1921 I never had been actively connected with the prohition movement. I am now, but was not then a teetotaler. While it was legal to do so, I had liquor in my own home in California, and used it, in moderation, of course. Furthermore, I have a very real aversion to putting people in jail and in prison. I know from actual acquaintance with the conditions inside of penal institutions that they are much more often the breeding-places of crime than places for the protection of society and the reformation and redemption of men and women who have preyed upon and been a menace to society. This then is an admission that Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, the apostle of prohibition had been herself either a whiskey drinker or a wine drinker or both and that it was necessary to use the strong arm of the law to "break the habit" so to speak. But why say more? Mrs. Willebrandt is convicted out of her own mouth. Who was it that said, "O, that mine enemy would write a book!" Certainly, it is Perry W. Howard and his other associates, who will exclaim, "Thank God that Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt is writing these series of twenty-one articles!" Selah. Deauville, France, July 20, 1929. Hon.

SALER SPRINGS HOTEL FLEXIBLE TRAFIC MARKER STOP Flyers of the St. Louis Robin Here are Dale (Red) Jackson and Forest Q'Brien, pilots, and the monoplane St. Louis Robin, of the sensational endurance flight over St. Louis. From its mountain setting in the heart of the Canadian Rockies the town of Banff has just sounded the call for its third annual Highland Gathering and Scottish Music Festival. Scheduled to last from August 30 through September 2, with headquarters at the Banff Springs Hotel, the occasion will show anew how seven centuries of Scottish song have survived in the keeping of the Scots who have largely peopled the Canadian west. Arranged as before by the Canadian Pacific Railway under the patronage Safety Traffic Sign FLEXIBLE TRAFFIC MARKER STOP WICHITA, Kans.—More than 189,569 Americans have lost their lives in automobile accidents in the last ten years. This is a death total equal to more than twice the population of Nevada, or nearly the population of either Wyoming or Delaware. It exceeds the number of inhabitants of Memphis, Louis, Grand Rapids, Mich., or Salt Lake City, Utah, according to Clay S. White, safety expert and president of the Standard Traffic Marker company of Wichita, in an address here. An increase of 150 per cent in the yearly automobile fatality record occurred between 1919 and the beginning of 1929. Here are the year by year motor car mortality statistics for the last decade, as disclosed in Mr. White's address: of the Prince of Wales, the festival promises to convert Banff for four days into a miniature Scotland. Every crack Highland regiment in the Dominion has entered its best pipers to compete in the piping contests for the E.W. Seatty Trophy. Laws and lashes from six to sixty will show how the reel and the sword dance should be danced and how the highland ding dugging things. In addition to traditional Caledonian games like putting the stone and throwing the caber, Canada's Amateur Track and Field Championships on September 2 (Labor Day) have been made part of the Festival. Harold Fustace Key, music director for the Canadian Pacific, has arranged a series of concerts of Scottish music, starting with the ballads of the 13th century and continuing through the periods of the 18th and the Jacobites, followed by selections from the songs of Burns, Sir Walter Scott, Lady Nairne, Christopher North and the Hebridean music recently made popular by Marjorie Kennedy-Fraser.

The number of deaths by accident in proportion to the number of automobiles in operation is actually decreasing. In 1919 there were 7,565,446 automobiles in use in the United States and an average of one fatality to every 678 mers of the St. Louis Robin opera by Healey Willan, and a Gaelle fisher play by Hebrides from Vancouver. Besides notable Canadian artists like Finlay Campbell, Catherine Wright and Frances James, Mrs. Kennedy-Fraser herself has been brought over from Scotland to sing several groups of her Hebrides songs. She has achieved world fame as rediscoverer, editor and singer of the long neglected songs of the Scottish Isles. This mishap preserved in its original character by the simple crofters of the sequestered isles, has been widely accepted as the greatest measure of the Gaelle South. dent Prevention CLAY S. WHITE motor cars. At the beginning of 1929 there were approximately 25,000,000 automobiles in operation and an average of one fatality to every 900 cars. The number of automobiles has tripled, while the accidental death total has increased only one and a half times. Improvement in safety devices with the introduction of the flexible rubber traffic signal set into the street directly in the path of the motorist's vision is a potent factor in accident prevention."

Not by 17 Million Bibles a Year! In 1860, with 600 pages and rewritten bibles in the world—the 700-year-old. Paris. GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY FROM PAINTING BY PLOCKHORST Modern youth may not practice formal religion as keenly as his grandparents did, states Dr. James M. Gray, president of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, but "he is more universally interested in education and in studying religion in a sinceré effort to learn its personal value to him." The jazz picture of modern youth is badly out of focus, and the proof for it is that interest in bible study and religion is actually on the increase among the rising generation, especially in the cities. There is also no such thing as a "bible belt" in America, say religious leaders and publishers of bibles add 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 far gathered disclose that the city is just as good a market for religious items as the town. 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 instruction or prayer," says John Meredith, Chicago, secretary of the league which now is backed by many well-known business men throughout the United States. "Almost 17 million bibles and tens of thousands of bible-study courses were sold in the United States last year," states G. E. Bogart, commissioner of the Directive on the Directive on Chicago, has been gathering statistics of the survey "and 1929 promises 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 representatives and distributing channels this year, more than one-third of which will be actively selling bibles through 1282 sales of bible-study books into several hundred thousand courses, the majority in the cities and towns." Sunday School Lesson Fulfillment of prophecy is finely exampled in this lesson study. Years before, Ibrahim had declared that there would be deliverance for the Jews in burgage by one named Cyrus. Jeremiah in writing a letter of encouragement from Jerusalem to the brethren in captivity stated that after seventy years there would be a release. In that fulness of time the event took place which perfectly met both prophecies. It was just seventy years from the first deportation, in the fifth year of king Johoikiah, to the first year of Cyrus. Also the same period between the destruction of Jerusalem and the completion of the second temple. Keep in mind that Daniel was an old man when he interpreted that handwriting on the wall on the same night in which the Chaldeans were captured by Darius, as the waters of the Fephrates were turned aside and the enemy entered under the city walls. Within three years Cyrus became king in Babylon. If Daniel was still living he would care be a man that Cyrus would wish to meet, for he had great fame as a man of wisdom and one who could interpret dreams. He had been a prime minister and anything he said would command respect from a theological monarch. When it was read from the Scripture rolls that Isaiah 11:11 in the proclamation that one named Cyrus would be the man to restore Jerusalem and give attention was given thereto. Further, it was strategy to have a house in people in Palestine, tor that little country was on the highway to Jerusalem. The decree was pronounced giving permission to any impiples to return to the land where they had been taken. Many were so well settled in Battalia that the opportunity did not appeal to them. The younger who may not have been fully satisfied where they were, the adventurers and those who were strict religionists and were ever thinking back to the Temple days were among those who We will go and rebuild Jerusalem and its Temple." The brethren were urged to make gifts with which to further the in the home land if they did not care to make the return personally. Cyrus did the noble thing, in contrast to Belshazzar the burden itself by his use of the vessels taken from the Temple in plunder. Those were given to the returning colonists. The total was 100. The route chosen by the 50,000 was probably by the more way of Aleph, so the 50,000 was further than the direct way.

Robina, like a disaster having been narrowly avoided, and the passengers get out and Now Go On With the Story The other passengers dawled about, but Mem went farther and farther. She wanted to see what was on the other side of that butte as much as mankind has longed to see the other side of the moon. When she started back the cool of the butte's shadow made her rest awhile. The heat and the hypnosis of the shimmering sand sea put her asleep in spite of herself. She awoke with a start. The train was moving, a new locomotive dragging it and its broken engine. She ran, fell, picked herself up, limped forward. She was alone in the wilderness, and the train was already a toy running through a gap between two lofty buttes. Both mocked the girl unguidurably and she stood panting in a suffocation of fright, her hands grinding at each other's finger nails. Then for tl. t● st time Mem understood what the desert meant to those who had seen the last pure iron and steel the backen fall of iron. For a trance-while Mem made a perfect allegory or helplessness on a monument. She heard a voice laughing with a kind of querying examination: "Hello?" The word was as unimportant as could and it came from what she had just decreed the most useless thing on earth, a handsome moving picture actor. He went on: "Here we are, ch?" Tom Holby laughed at fate as in his pictures. "I've nearly died of thirst in the desert half a dozen times" he said; "but there was always a camera or two a few yards off and outside. And the heroine usually came galloping to the rescue and picked me up in time for the final clinch. I see the heroine, but the grub wagon's late?" "What-what are we going to do?" "Well, I'm not going to act any way, as long as there's no camera on the job. Let's sit down and wait." "For what?" "Oh, you train the train will come back, or another one will come along and we can flag it in plenty of time. Sit down on this hand-some chair and tell you? I'm Mr. Holby, by the way." "Yes, I know" she said, and told him her name. There was a long silence. Then he mused aloud: "Remember," eh? Great! Robina would have preferred that to the one she chose. Do you know Robina? "I've seen her." "On the screen?" "On the train." "Oh, then you haven't seen her. That isn't the real Robina that walks about. That's just a poor, plain, frightened anxious a little Cinderella who only begins to live when she puts on her glass slippers. She has to be so in internally noble all day long that you can hardly blame her for resting her overworked virtues when she's off the lot. I used to be a pretty decent fellow, too, before I began to be a hero by trade. But now—gosh! how I love my faults! When there's no camera on me I'm a mighty mean man." "Oh. I'm a fiend. I'm thinking of playing villains for a while, so that I can be respectable at my own expense outside the factory. But I'm so mussed up between my professional emotions and my personal ones that it's hard to keep from acting, on and off. Now look at this situation.

Are you a heroine or an adventurer? "I don't understand you." "Are you an onjoanoe or a vamp?" "I don't speak French." "Then you must be an onjoanoe," he said. "In that case I suppose I really ought to play the villain and— But here comes the train. Dog-on it! just as we were working up a real little plot. I hope I haven't compromised you. If you're afraid I have. I'll have to go back A "Are you a heroine or an adventurer?" and hide till the next rain comes along. Or you can, for I imagine, it's Robina that reversed the engine. She probably missed me and suspected that I was out here with a pretier girl than she is—pardon me! Shall I go hide? "Oh, no! not I couldn't think of me. Nobody knows me. It can't make any difference what they say about me." "Gosh! what an enviable position. Stick to your luck, Miss Steddon. May I help you down?" * * * * That was a chapter in Mem's life. Holbe had guessed right. Robina had missed him and when the helpless conductor protested against the already late, she pulled the rope sacrilege of reversing the Limited herself. She knew the signals, having played in a railroad serial, and she soon had the train bucking at full speed. She had half suspected that Tom Holly had a companion in the desert, and when she looked out and saw him with the pretty chit whose magazine he had picked out, she was tempted to give the signal to go aloud again. But she preferred to give poor Holly her opinion of him. Mem crept back to her place, shivering with her first experience of stardom and its conspicuousness. The train made up so much of its lost time that it was only two hours late when it drew into Tucson. Tom made his adieux and left Mem in a whirl. But her faculties went around in the mad panic of a pinwheel when a strange, sombre person spoke to her: "Miss Steddon?" "Yes." "I am Doctor Galbraith, pastor of the First Church here. Your father telegraphed me to meet you at the train and look after you." "No, but he found my name in the yearbook. I have found a nice boarding house for you, and my wife and I will look after you as best we can." Mem was struck violently with the thought, "But what becomes of Mr. Woodville now?" In her desperation she caught sight again of Tom Holby, who had walked briskly to the head of the train and was striding back to his car. A frantic whim led Mem to say, very distinct, as she passed him: "Good night, Mr. Woodville." Holby could hardly believe his ears, but he laughed to himself, "This is fame!" bowed and went on. The Reverend Galbraith paused, but Mem urged him along, saying, "That's an old friend I met on the train." And now she felt that she had established the existence of her Mr. Woodville. She was already unconsciously "planting" characters, "His face looked familiar; but I guess it wasn't." The reason it looked familiar was that lithographs of it were posted up all over Tuscon. Holby was to appear there in a picture. Mrs Galbraith turned out to be a joyous Western woman raised on a ranch and of a loud and hilarious cordiality. She was distressed because she could not take Mem into her own little home, but it was spilling over with children. On the way to her boarding house she noted many of Tom Holby's portraits. He was not the star of the picture, Robina Teele was the star. Mem felt a longing to see this heroic picture, but Mrs. Galbraith would not leave her for a moment, and the night was prayer-meeting night. Mem attended the evening devotions. There was nothing strange to her in the drowsy, cozy atmosphere of the hymns and bowing in prayer and finding a mystical comfort in the thought of sins forgiven and in eternal home beyond the grave. Doctor and Mrs. Galbraith took DON RILEY her back to her lodgings and left her. They had no objection to moving pictures and attended them often, but Mem did not know this, and she felt like a thief when her worser self compelled her better self to a dark dishonesty. Both selves went to the movies. If the cinema store had been an opium den Mem could not have sneaked more guilty into it. When she had found a seat in the dark hall she was so illiterate in the staples of fiction that she tingled with excitement over hackeyed situations that left many a sophisticated child yawning and gave several a paus to the swaying jaws of the gum-grinding crowd. But Mem was experiencing an agitation such as she had not known since her mother told her about Little Red Riding Hood and growled like a wolf, showing long white teeth. She was astounded at the courage of Tom Holby. It wurghed her heart to see him in this Alaskan picture plowing across white Saharas of snow, to see him challenge the barroom bully and beat him down and stand, torn, bleeding and panting, over him. Being a woman, she was not quite convinced of Robina's supersaintly innocences in the film, but she had no doubt of Tom Holby as Galahad. In her room she remembered her parents. She had not written to her for two days, and she had not carried Mr. Woodville forward. One thing was certain—she must free herself from the Galbraths; she must get out of Tucson. She must become Mrs. Woodville at once. She would probably have given up trying if a bit of luck had not befallen her. Mrs. Gaibraith rode over in haste and distress to explain that her husband and she had to leave Tucson for a few days to attend his father's funeral. She promised to hasten back, and begged Mem Steddon's foregiveness for deserting her. It was plainly a time for quick and decisive action. She threw caution aside and forore to regard the perils of inconsistency. She wrote the father and mother a hasty letter to which the lift of hope unconscily contributed an atmosphere of bride's bliss. My Darling Mamma and Papa: Well, you have lost your daughter—not by by fell disease, but by fell in love. * * * * You see, Mr. Woodville—John—was so attentive and kind and considerate and respectful—almost reverent, you might say—and he's so big and handsome and fine and noble, and I was small and lonely and so I felt away for so long that so John couldn't resist. * * * * We leave at once for Yuma, so add all your letters to me as Mrs. John Woodville, General Delivery, Yuma. Doesn't it sound grand, though? With a few lines to explain that 'Mr Woodville' was not rich—yet—She ended the letter. She wrote the Galbraiths a similar letter and bought a ticket for Yuma. Continued Next Week --- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page Milady's Beauty Secrets By Helena Rubinstem Modern Children's Sweet Tooth Demands Highest Quality Candy SWEET TIME --- Wedding and Visiting Cards The Planet, 311 N.4th St., Richmond, Va. This is the time of year when the greatest charm of beauty lies in personal daintiness—the time when perfect immaculacy and freshness are hardest to achieve and most desirable. When the mercury begins to soar and the heat and humidity combine to make us uncomfortable the woman who can present an appearance of sweet, cool daintiness is the one who is most envious and most admired. Several baths a day during the warm season are not too many to satisfy our instincts for physical comfort and personal daintiness and well-being. But here an economic problem presents itself. Not everyone can bathe when she chooses during the summer, for example, can take a cool shower and change her clothes at noon or during the oppressive heat of the early afternoon, yet it is quite as important that she should look fresh and dainty in the office as in the evening across her dinner table. The summer season has presented similar problems since the world began. The Roman matrons, in ancient days, took to the hills when the warm weather began. They had not the advantages of their bordly husbands who could spend the oppressive hours of midday in the cool Public Baths. Several hundred years later, in Modern Children's Demands High CHICAGO—Old-fashioned penn candies like those that Pa and Mi crunched in their school days are rapidly becoming passe with modern children. They have surrendered their popularity in favor of more expensive candy bars, chocolates and hard candies among juvenile gourmet. "Give me a nickel, Pa," has succeeded the old query of "Please, can I have a penny?" As a result, the prosperous boy or girl of the present era frequently spends more for candy in a single day than father or mother spent in an entire week, according to Ferdinand A. Bunte, of Bunte Brothers, Chicago candy manufacturers. "Modern youngsters are discriminating connoisseurs of sweets," declared Mr. Bunte. "They demand a much higher quality of candy than ```markdown ``` —Ben Jonson. the name of personal daintiness, Josephine Bonapart ordered hundreds of undergarments made for her so that, during the warm weather, she could change each item of clothing she wore three times a day. Unfortunately for us in these enlightened modern days it is not always possible to follow her example. The pressure of modern business life often makes it imprecautious. But there are some precautions of summer daintiness which everyone can take. Everyone can bathe morning or night, or both. Everyone can use some type of underwear and cooling cream powder. Fresh clothing can be worn each day, and frequently, can be changed at the close of the day. The business girl can keep a bottle of cool skin tonic and a box of face powder in her office desk. The skin tonic makes an excellent summertime day clearer and fresher as well. And it also acts as a powder base. The housewife can keep these same aids to daintiness in her pantry or kitchen, so that during the busy morning, or before lunchon time, she, too, can hastily freshen her appearance. Huleng Rubristein Sweet Tooth Highest Quality Candy SWEET TIME that which satisfies their forebears. Variety is their watchword. They are equally fond of chocolate creams, nut bars, bonbons, mints, and marmaid-filled hard candies. An all-day sucks to achieve any appreciable demand must be 'delled up' to an extent that would shame its ancient prototype. And gum-drops to keep from suffering complete extinction have had to be metamorphosed in shape and color. "With the increasing appreciation by leading food authorities of the wholesome value of candy in the dict of children, there is a decided upturn in the consumption of sweets by young folks. A craving for candy, experts now declare, is perfectly normal and means that the small body needs the heat and quick energy which candy imparts." ```markdown ``` EVERY ONE OF THEM IS A HIGH FLIER Some of the folks you see here hurdle the clouds in the sky in their planes, the others can take their horses over the hurdles, just as if they were riding on the wings of Pegasus, the legendary horse with wings. Whether one takes to the air or on the back of a horse to go over the hurdles, it requires grit—and lots of nerve. At the upper left we present Lt. Argo on St. Paul going over the hurdles at the International Horsemanship Tournament at Cologne. Lt. Argo was the only American to win in any of the events. Since Lindbergh made his epoch-making trip across the Atlantic, America has become air-minded. Youth will be served as can be seen by the young man at the upper right. Lloyd Seaman must have been born an aviator. He started taking his instructions at the East Boston Airport at seven in the morning—at six o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, he went up to make his first solo flight. At the bottom left she is Marvel Crosson, holder of the woman's altitude record. She is one of a number of famous aviatrixes of Southern California entered in the First National Woman's Air Derby. At the bottom right one sees a splendid example of horsemanship displayed by a cavalryman of the Russian Red Army. Russia has always been noted for its famous Cossack riders. Altho this soldier is not a Cossack, still he is as capable in the saddle as were the "Wild men of the plains of Russia." In spite of changing conditions, it seems horsemanship is still an art. (Herbert, N. Y.) Hints for the Home by Nancy Hart We have just returned from a vacation spent at an old New England home on the sea-girl coast of Maine where electric lights and push-buttons formed no part of daily living. But the big, powerful flashlight belonging to the man of the house came to the rescue so frequently that it left with us a most emphatic impression of its usefulness. How many of you possess a trusty flashlight to point the way over dark roads and patins, or for use at night about the house, for peering into mocks and crannies Where the stationary light cannot penetrate—or strolling along the beach after dark when rocks and hummocks just lie in wait to stub turtly toes? Remembering the comfort and convenience of such a light during these past weeks, we are moved to observe that this bit of equipment contributes more genuine service day by day than most household appliances of our acquaintance.

John W. Ham, pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, in Atlanta, Ga., speaking as visiting preacher at the First Baptist Church, Broadway and 79th Street. The sermon, entitled "The Negro In the White House", treated of the controversy which followed Mrs. Hoover's reception of the Negro Representative's wife at a tea month ago and of De Priest's insistence that his wife was within her rights. The result of racial equality is inter-marriage. This result would go in direct opposition to the teaching of the word of God. It would be unscriptural and hurful. It would weaken rather than strengthen both races. Christianity nowhere imposes on the Christian social equality. It is not taught in the word of God." A. N. L. C.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA TURAL Automobiles Cause Fourth of America's Fatal Accidents MIDDLEBURG STATE BANK TRAFFIC CHICAGO,ILL.-Automobiles figured in approximately one of every four accidental deaths in the United States during 1928. "Of 96,000 cases in which Americans met a sudden end last year, 27,500 were caused by automobile accidents." declared Clay S. White, president of the Standard Traffic Marker Company of Wichita, Kansas, in an address here before a safety conference. "Accidents in the home including falls, burns, scalds, explosions and asphyxiations accounted for approximately 24,000 fatalities, while industrial accidents snuffed out the lives of a corresponding number of people. Another 20,500 were fatally hurt in what are classified as public accidents—drownings, fires, and discharge of firearms." Railroads and street cars, Mr. White says, accounted for many, but not as large a number of fatalities as might be expected. The automobile—and especially the car—was the most mobile of them. some hope. A he said, shows are being more that traffic a the value of a.

Analysis of the situation, he said shows that these danger spots are being more carefully watched, and that traffic authorities are learning the value of an appeal to good sense. For example, some local authorities have left the speed limit to the driver's good judgment. others have installed flexible rubber stop signals in the center of the street or road directly to the line of the motorist's vision, while still others have removed sharp curve even when construction of the new road meant considerable expense.
